Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 26

The dog said: "No."

Xiao Chuan said: "Dog, after you delivered the quilts, you thought about adding coal to the stove."

The dog glanced at the coals in the corner, and said worriedly, "My lord, don't these coals have poisonous smoke?"

Xiao Chuan said: "It's okay, the charcoal has been processed and will not produce poisonous smoke."

Xiao Chuan left the house, thought for a while, and walked to the house of his second uncle Dugu Mu.

When he arrived near Dugu Mu's house, Xiao Chuan entered a restaurant, chose a seat close to Dugu Mu's house, sat down, ordered something to eat, and then started the time-space recording.

A screen that only he can see appeared in front of Xiao Chuan, and everything that happened within a kilometer around him was captured in Xiao Chuan's eyes, just like watching a video recorder again.

The members of the Dugu family couldn't sit still.

The four brothers and Dugu Lan, the eldest son of Dugu Shan, all gathered in Dugu Mu's study.

Dugu stopped by and said, "Third brother, the boss has been buying horns and mussel shells for the past few days, and Xiao Chuan is building a kang at home every day, instead of building a palace on the roof."

Dugutuo said contemptuously: "Boss is a waste, poor and crazy, if he wants to go into business, he can also do business, buy and sell some valuables, collect some unnecessary horns and clam shells, isn't it crazy?"

Dugu Lan, the second wife's son-in-law, said: "Uncles, I happened to see Duguchuan when I went to the poetry meeting yesterday."

Dugu Tuo said: "Everyone is so poor that they can't tell the truth. How can Dugu Chuan have the money to attend the poetry meeting?"

Dugu said: "I don't know what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd? Don't you worry about the construction period of the Tiantai Palace?"

Dugu Lan said: "Sixth Uncle, Seventh Uncle, Dugu Chuan not only went to the poetry meeting, but also sat in the private room on the second floor and wrote two poems, which were rated as excellent works. They have been recited in the capital these two days."

Dugu Mudao: "The private room on the second floor of the Poetry Club doesn't mean you can buy invitations with money, you have to be powerful."

Dugu Zang said: "Third Brother, you mean that kid's invitation was given by an official?"

Dugu Mu said: "Nine out of ten."

Duguzang said: "Someone heard some rumors."

Dugu stopped by and said, "What rumors?"

Duguzang said: "It is rumored that Duguchuan and Liu Fang signed a military order. If the roof palace is not built well or the construction period is delayed, our house will be raided and five of us will be beheaded. Duguchuan and his son will be killed." After we are beheaded, they can divide the family property, maybe Liu Fang gave the invitation to Xiao Chuan."

Duguzhen doubted: "An official as big as Liu Fang will talk to the two bumpkins of the boss? It can't be a rumor, right?"

Dugu said along the way: "That's right, even if Liu Fang is looking for someone to cooperate with, he is looking for us. How can he look for the old man?"

Dugu Mu's face was pale, wrapped in a leather robe, and said: "It's not a rumor, someone sent someone to investigate today, and the small official of Liu Fang's government office saw the military order, and it was indeed written that the building of the Tiantai Palace was not good or the construction period was delayed. , and beheaded five of us.”

Dugu said by the way: "It turns out that what the boss said yesterday is true, I thought he was lying to me."

Dugu was young and felt that he hadn't enjoyed a good life yet. Hearing this, he said, "Well, how can the boss do this? After all, we are relatives."

Dugushun sneered and said, "A relative? How can there be family affection in front of life and death?"

Dugu Mu waved his hand, seeing the silence of the crowd, he continued: "There is a news from the palace that the sky will persecute Pu Liuru by attacking the Dugu family, so the Dugu family is about to face a catastrophe."

Dugutuo said angrily: "The boss is cowardly, it is impossible to have such calculations, it must be that little bastard Duguchuan who is scheming and dragging us into the water."

Dugu Mu said: "The military order is just another excuse, whether it is there or not is the same thing."

Dugu stopped by and said, "Third Brother, what should we do? Are we just waiting to die?"

Dugu Mu said: "Someone has been thinking about it all night, and now there is only one way, and there is still a glimmer of life."

The four said together: "What way?"

Dugu Mu said: "Support the boss with all my strength, give people and give money when you ask for it."

Dugu said distressedly: "But the boss wants [-] guan for one mouthful."

Dugu Zang said: "That's right, so-and-so's money is invested in fields and business, and he doesn't have that much cash."

Dugutuo said angrily: "Which of you likes to spend money to spend money, so-and-so has no money."

Dugu stopped by and said, "That's just right, it would be better if you were beheaded alone, so as to prevent disaster for everyone."

Dugutuo was speechless, sulking without saying a word.

Dugu Mu said: "If you have the money to pay, don't feel bad if you don't have the money to pay for the land or real estate. In fact, the Dugu family should share the property with the boss. Tens of thousands are far from enough."

The others were silent, only Dugutuo said viciously: "I hope that the two of them will live to take the dead flowers."

Seeing that the opinions were unified, Dugu stopped by and said, "Third brother, then let the boss come over."

Dugu Mu said: "No, let's deliver it in person."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Chuan's mouth, he threw down a few copper coins, hummed a song and went home.

Dugu Luo was buying horns and clam shells at the street corner. When he saw his son approaching, he couldn't help asking, "Chuan'er, what is our family buying so many horns and clam shells for?"

Xiao Chuan said: "Aye, you only need to buy, there is something magical about it."

Seeing his son's tight-lipped tone, Dugu Luo didn't care about this matter, but asked curiously: "Chuan'er, you usually go from house to house to ask about building a kang, why didn't you go today?"

Xiao Chuan said with a smile: "I guess there will be guests coming today, Aye will close the stall first, let's go home and wait."

Dugu Luo closed the stall and said: "We have lived in Chang'an for more than a year, and none of our relatives have come to the door, so you are talking nonsense..."

Before the words finished, a voice came from behind: "Brother, why are you still setting up a stall outside? Tell the brothers if you have any difficulties."

Xiao Chuan smiled and said, "Aye, don't you think the guests are here?"

Dugu Luo turned his head and saw that there were six people in front of them, Dugu Mu's five brothers, Dugu Lan, the eldest son of Dugu Shan's legitimate son, and a dozen servants behind them, driving several carts.

Dugu Luo couldn't figure out the situation, and asked puzzledly, "My dear brothers, why did you come here?"

Dugu Mu smiled and said: "Brother, I'm too busy on weekdays, so I don't have time to come and chat. Today, my brothers and Lan'er are here. Let's get together and come to see you."

It was the first time in a year that Dugu Luo heard being called big brother. He was excited and at a loss what to do for a while, he said: "My brothers, it's good to come here, I don't want to trouble you."

A few people were let into the living room, everyone sat down, exchanged some greetings, Dugu Mu said: "Brother, when will you start building the Tiantai Palace?"

Before Dugu Luo could open his mouth, Xiao Chuan said: "You and I don't know. The royal family only gave us 150 million yuan. It's not enough to build the rooftop palace. No, I want to do some business first, and wait until I save enough money." Start building."

Dugutuo sneered and said, "Hey! How much can you sell those sheep horns and clam shells? Only fools would buy those junk."

Xiao Chuan pretended to be apologetic: "I can't do anything about it, my father and I only have a few tens of pennies in our pockets, so we can't do big business."
