Grandmaster Koi Daily [Red Mansion]

Situ Chen gave his father a steam boiler, and Concubine Shun, as Situ Chen's biological mother, naturally also needed one.

But Concubine Shun's steam boiler is much more practical, it doesn't have so many bells and whistles, so you don't have to hesitate to ask the cook to use it directly.

"My sister doesn't think my sister will come here at this time."

Concubine Duan arrived at Concubine Shun's palace before the meal time, and she made it clear that she was here to eat.

In the past, when Situ Chen brought some new things into the palace, Concubine Duan would always be the first "guest" at Concubine Shun's side.If she thinks something is good after looking at it, she will ask Situ Chen to give her a copy too.

At first, Concubine Shun would refuse Concubine Duan's money, but she couldn't stand Concubine Duan coming here from time to time, so she accepted Concubine Duan's money.

Later, Concubine Shun simply asked Situ Chen to give Guifei Duan a copy of some trivial things.

This time the steam pot was a birthday gift from His Majesty the Emperor, and he couldn't show up in advance, so he didn't give one to the imperial concubine.Concubine Duan also understood Situ Chen's intentions, so she went directly to Concubine Shun for dinner after His Majesty's longevity was over.

"My sister is here, can I still push my sister back?" Concubine Shun said as she put down the handkerchief she was embroidering when she had nothing to do.

Concubine Shun's temperament is easy-going, even if Concubine Zhen Guifei came to find fault with Concubine Zhen a few years ago, Concubine Shun didn't kick Concubine Zhen out, she just let Concubine Zhen drink air tea a few times in disguise to tell Concubine Zhen that you are not welcome here.

Concubine Zhen touched soft nails a few times, then went back and continued to pretend to be gentle and pleasant in front of the emperor.

The maid next to Concubine Shun immediately served Concubine Duan a bowl of warm tea with rose sugar. Concubine Duan took a sip and told Concubine Shun what she had heard about the steam pot.

Immediately after receiving the steam pot, His Majesty asked Mr. Feng to take it to the imperial chef to stew a chicken. I heard that the courtiers were thinking about sending people to buy it before leaving the palace.This pot is much more than the sugar roses last time. I can buy one and use it all the time.

However, Concubine Duan didn't come to Concubine Shun to buy pots, but wanted to "buy" a better job for her son.

Now that Daqi has been in peace for many years, the Ministry of War has become the pension office for generals.Which mother doesn't think about her son's future, Situ Ming really didn't have much development in the military department.

Among the many princes, apart from His Royal Highness, the fourth prince, Situ Chen, was the best.If you want grace, you have grace, if you want real power, you have real power, if you want silver, you have silver...

This is already a faint sign that His Majesty the Emperor is training assistant ministers for His Highness the Crown Prince.

Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the few princes can still have idle errands to do.But when His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor in the future, His Highness the Crown Prince still has so many sons who have no place to arrange them. Will there be time to make room for other sons?

Although Situ Ming wouldn't be in such a miserable situation even if he became a clan, but compared with Situ Chen who held real power, it was not a star and a half worse.

Before it was too late, I had to quickly arrange a place for my son.It just so happens that the Seventh Prince is still idle, so the Ministry of War will let the Seventh Prince go.

If Concubine Duan came to buy a steamer, Concubine Shun would absolutely openly send ten or eight to Concubine Duan.But Concubine Duan wanted her to talk to her son about finding an errand for the Second Prince, but Concubine Shun dared not intervene in this matter.

At best it sounds like a loving mother, at worst it can be regarded as a harem meddling in politics.

"What's your opinion, Second Highness?"

"Him? What can he have an opinion on? Be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day. If the sky doesn't fall, everything will be fine." Concubine Duan Gui also had no choice but to talk about her son.

At the beginning, the emperor thought very well, the second prince Situ Ming and the fourth prince Situ Chen jointly assisted the prince with both literature and military.But after so many years, Situ Chen was so poor that he went out to do business, and Situ Ming spent all his vigor in the military department.

"If you want me to say, let him go into business with Chen'er as well." Concubine Duan Gui had this idea a long time ago, but she hesitated and never said it out loud.

Although Concubine Shun lives in her own palace, embroidering flowers and stroking cats, she knows some things outside the palace.

If Concubine Duan had told her about this half a year ago, maybe she could write a letter to ask her son.But in the current situation, Concubine Shun felt that even if her son said there was no problem, he would be beaten back when he got to His Majesty the Emperor.

"Your Majesty only has seven grown-up princes, and now the eighth prince has started a business with Chen'er. If the Second Highness is added..."

That means the three princes went to do business.

Even if His Majesty the Emperor likes silver, he should also consider the issue of face.

It is a hobby for one child to go into business, and it is fun for two children to go into business.Nearly half of the children go into business. Could it be that the royal family can't get rid of it? Why do they all go into business?

Concubine Duan secretly hated herself for speaking late and letting the Eighth Prince take the lead.Now the Eighth Prince's shop has already started selling steam pots, and they don't have an idea yet.But Concubine Duan did not give up, thinking that doing business in the capital would not work, so why not go to other places?

A few years ago, the four princes cooperated with Tatar to exchange wool, and now there is some progress...

"My sister is worried about His Royal Highness, and my younger sister understands it very well. It's really not something that my younger sister can intervene in. Why don't you let His Highness and Chen'er communicate directly." Concubine Shun kicked the ball to her son.

Concubine Duan Gui knew that she had also gone to the doctor due to an emergency, and she immediately held Concubine Shun's hand after hearing that Concubine Shun didn't kill her with one bite.

"So thank you sister."

Because a noble concubine Duan came to eat, the palace people ordered the cook to cook a few more dishes.Concubine Shun and Concubine Duan had already passed the time of competing for favor based on their looks, so they should eat and drink, so they would not eat a few mouthfuls of rice every day in order to restore the slender waist of Concubine Zhen.

The steam pot chicken is the protagonist of tonight's dishes. Duan Guifei, who has never tasted this dish, is full of praise for it.

"The chickens are all raised in the same way. The taste of the steam pot is even brighter. This steam pot will definitely sell well. I don't know how Chen'er plans to price it?"

"I don't know how to set the price. Since my sister likes it, it's worthless. Is it enough to give my sister six?" These things are all made of clay, and even if you give six hundred, it doesn't cost much money.

Concubine Shun has always done this to spend a small amount of money to pay big favors.

Cannibalism is soft but hands are short, six steam boilers are trivial matters, the key is that it is possible to improve his son's future future, Concubine Duan came back to her palace after dinner and asked the palace people to bring many gifts to Concubine Shun.

Most of them were the furs of various prey hunted by the second prince himself, and Concubine Duan also sent Concubine Shun with her son's things.

Concubine Shun saw two pieces of red fox furs among them, and asked the maid next to her: "I remember that Chen'er had someone collect red fox furs for a while, but I don't know how many. These two pieces of red fox furs It's pretty good, send someone to send it to Chen'er..."

Concubine Duan got five boilers from Concubine Shun, and called Situ Ming into the palace the next day.Looking at the boiler on the table, Situ Chen understood what was going on.

"The son guessed that the mother concubine had a steam pot here, so he didn't let anyone grab it. The mother concubine didn't know that the price of the steam pot had already reached 30 taels for one, and 50 taels for two. This time, the old eighth He got a big deal by mixing it up." Situ Ming picked up the boiler and said, looking at the air hole towards the light.

I used to think that the fourth brother was doing business just to make some fun for himself, but now it seems that he is really making money.In two days, he will also give the fourth brother tens of thousands of coins, and he will make a fortune by himself.

Hearing that her son had some ideas, Concubine Duan Gui didn't know what kind of fairy medicine her son had taken and suddenly became enlightened.

It's just that it's too late to start a business now. She thought about what Concubine Shun told her yesterday.The first one to do things is a genius, the second one is a mediocrity, and the second one is a fool.Seeing her son still fiddling with the boiler, Concubine Duan beckoned her son to come to her.

"I discussed this matter with your Concubine Shun yesterday. It's a pity we were a step too late, and now it may be difficult for my son to start a business." Concubine Duan explained Concubine Shun's remarks to Situ Ming.Situ Ming was silent for a while, and said as if he recognized it: "After all, my son is not so lucky..."

What luck is not luck, isn't it all won by oneself?

Thinking about how unlucky the fourth prince was back then, he was almost pushed into the water and drowned without any redress.But he just couldn't swallow this breath, and took the initiative to find Rong Guohou to do business with Rong Guohou, earning himself a bright future.

Looking at the third and sixth princes who were once arrogant, do they still dare to face the fourth prince?Concubine Zhen is such a domineering woman, no matter how jealous Concubine Shun is now, can she just nest in her own palace and smash things?

Although they can't do business now, isn't that the only way out?

"Although it's late to do business, it's not too late to do other things. Sooner or later, your fourth brother's experience in Yunnan will be extended to the whole of Daqi. This is an opportunity."

Concubine Duan's words hit the crux of the problem.

Situ Chen has always emphasized that if he wants to get rich, he must first build roads, and it has now been proven that this is indeed the case.Even if you don't do business, you don't delay road construction, and road construction is not just for business.Building roads is a very important matter, and the person in charge must be carefully thought out.

No matter how much you trust a minister, you can't be as assured as your own son going into battle.

"I want my mother and concubine to worry about my son, my son..."

"Guilty can't be eaten! Take these steamers and hurry back home to write a letter to your fourth brother, or ask your eighth brother. If you can have a future, it will be worth worrying about."

Situ Ming nodded, bowed to Concubine Duan and then retreated.

Two of these five steam pots were kept in his own mansion, one was given to the concubine's natal family, and two were given to his maternal grandfather's family.After Situ Ming made the plan, he asked his servants to deliver it, and when it was dark, he quietly took a small sedan chair to the Eighth Prince's Mansion to ask his eighth younger brother who was closest to him.

The Eighth Prince never imagined that one day, he could see so much money piled up in front of his eyes.In the past two days, the eighth prince went to the household department to order a socket and then returned to the mansion to calculate how much money he had earned.

Because Situ Ming greeted the eighth prince in advance, the eighth prince waited for his second brother to come to the door after finishing the accounts, otherwise he would have slept with his head on the account book.As for why the second brother, who had never had any contact with him, came to him suddenly, the eighth prince felt that his toes knew why.

See him making a lot of money.

However, the eighth prince who "got rich overnight" didn't ask Situ Ming knowingly after he took his seat, and asked him what his second brother was doing when he came to visit him at such a late hour.The two brothers met each other frankly, without hiding anything.

"Except for His Royal Highness and those two, it's not easy for us brothers... The fourth brother is very kind, and he can share some meat with others when he has meat to eat."

It's better that his second brother is older, and the little and transparent princes like them were almost bullied and pushed out from childhood to adulthood.When those two were eating meat, they didn't even have a bowl, not to mention drinking soup, and they couldn't wait to see it.

But it's better now, his fourth brother has made a career in Yunnan.The life of those two is getting more and more difficult, and it will be even more difficult in the future.

Situ Ming was relieved to see his eighth younger brother being so upright.Situ Ming rubbed his hands together, and finally talked about business.

"Now the eighth brother is doing business with the fourth brother. To be honest, the second brother is also greedy and wants to join in. But don't worry, the eighth brother, the second brother will never compete with you..."

"It's okay, as long as the father agrees. The fourth brother is just starting, and there is a lack of caravans. Even if the father does not agree with the second brother's business, the second brother can do other things. Daqi is so big, there are many The place can build roads..."

The eighth prince felt that his second elder brother actually didn't want to waste time in the military office and wanted to find something for himself to do, not because he was short of money to start a business.So regarding the fact that he earned 1000 taels this time with only 6000 taels of silver, the Eighth Prince did not tell his second brother for the time being.

When the father agrees to his second brother's business, it's not too late to talk to his second brother about it.

Situ Ming sighed, told the eighth prince to be careful about those censors, and then returned to his mansion.

In fact, even if Yu Shi impeached him, the Eighth Prince felt that he would not be afraid.His fourth brother had already asked him to prepare in advance, and predicted from different angles how the imperial censor would impeach him, and then he would just break them one by one.

One steam pot, Situ Chen, counts five taels of silver for the eighth prince, and two hundred steam pots total 1000 taels of silver.The Eighth Prince also knew that the cost of the steam boiler was definitely not that high, but when he thought that his fourth brother had been in Yunnan for so long and hadn't paid a tael of silver for the household department, he felt that the price was out of conscience.

Even if he charged him 20 taels for a boiler, he could still make a net profit of [-] taels.It's not a one-off deal, everyone benefits from each other to earn more money.

Ever since the emperor praised the steam pot on the Longevity, the courtiers have asked the servants to buy one.With the high-priced sugar roses first, the courtiers actually thought that the steam boiler of 30 taels of silver was quite conscientious.

The [-] steam pots in the Eight Prince’s shop were sold out within five days. The reason for the slow sales was that everyone thought the ones from his shop were not authentic. In fact, it is the same, and then the number of people gradually increased.

At first the courtiers didn't react, but when they learned that the shop was the Eighth Prince's, they finally felt that something was wrong.

The censor seemed to be a fly that smelled blood, and immediately wrote a bulletin to impeach the Eighth Prince.

"Old Ba, come out and explain."

The emperor sat at the head and said to the eighth prince who was calm and composed.I didn't pay much attention to this youngest son before, but now he seems to be a good one.At least have your own ideas, and dare to put them into practice.

The eighth prince thought that the censors could do something after holding back for so long, but the crime of impeaching him was old-fashioned fighting for the interests of the people.

"Compete with the people? Who among the common people can afford a 30 taels of steam boiler? All I earn is the silver of your lords. I don't know if there are any common people in your lord's silver. In addition to my shop, Fourth Brother and Rong Guohou's shop is selling steam pots, which commoner am I competing for profit? Besides, Fourth Brother's shop sells for 30 taels, I don't seem to sell 50 taels..."

The imperial censor was thrown into a mess by the eighth prince, and after thinking for a long time, he didn't say the phrase "the eighth prince and the fourth prince are in collusion" out of his mouth.

If the eighth prince and the fourth prince are in a state of embarrassment, isn't that a disguised form of scolding His Majesty the Emperor?That's a real kill.

The emperor wanted to see more about his youngest son's performance. Seeing Yu Shi's appearance, he asked the eighth prince to go back first, and cleared his throat to sum up.

"Since the beginning of the new year, there are sugar roses and steam boilers. I know that you have a lot of anger in your hearts recently, and many people even scolded me. I didn't take such painstaking efforts to covet your little money. The fourth child is here It has been half a year in Yunnan, and you should have heard of how many things he has done in the past six months. You have to know that the fourth son has done so many things, but he didn't care about asking for a tael of silver from the court. If it were you, you Can it be done!"

Only people who have been poor know how to pick to the extreme.

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be angry, the courtiers knelt down and claimed guilt.It doesn't matter whether he sincerely admits his mistake or duplicity is not the emperor. After saying one sentence, he retreated and got up and went to the apse.

When the sixth prince turned to leave, he stared at the eighth prince with a smile on his face, feeling that the more he looked, the more he looked like the fourth son he hated.

"I didn't expect to become a dog of the fourth child, and it barked quite happily."

Regarding this kind of provocation, the eighth prince only thought that his sixth brother was jealous of him.But the Eighth Prince would absolutely not bear to call him a dog.

The Eighth Prince glanced behind the Sixth Prince, and said with a sneer, "Sixth Brother's tail is so tightly clamped, no wonder he is a bereaved dog."

"you!"

"Sixth!"

Seeing that his sixth brother was about to shake his fist at the eighth brother, the third prince hurriedly stopped him.This matter was originally provoked by Lao Liu, and Lao Ba would be the one who would suffer if he stabbed his father.

The sixth prince snorted, and the third prince glanced at the eighth prince when he passed by, and then followed the footsteps of the sixth prince out of the palace.

The courtiers who fought among the princes stayed far away, for fear that a spark would fall on them and be burned to ashes.

Wang Ziteng didn't use the steam boiler that Jia Lian sent yesterday, thinking about using it when he gets home after a while.

The king of Nan'an County didn't have to go to court, he taught Jia Lian Kungfu every day in Jia's mansion and practiced with Jia Lian.Now that the weather in Beijing is much warmer, there is no need to worry about catching cold after practicing outside for a long time.

"Your father-in-law is about to go down later, do you have the confidence not to let him see jokes?"

Jia Lian practiced for a long time and felt that he would definitely be able to beat Wang Xifeng now.Even if Wang Xifeng still held the weapon, he wouldn't run away in a panic like before.

The king of Nan'an County nodded, and carried Jia Lian to the palace first to wait for the prince to ascend to court.He has some matters about Jia Lian to discuss with Wang Ziteng today, and as for going early, he won't let this kid get bored.

Doesn't the Wang family still have this kid's little daughter-in-law?The two of them developed feelings for each other...

The porter recognized Jia Lian, and after welcoming Jia Lian and Nan'an County King in, he immediately had someone inform Wang Xifeng of Jia Lian's arrival.

"Master, don't you want to see me compete with Wang Xifeng?" Jia Lian asked when he saw his master was about to leave after the king of Nan'an put him down.

The king of Nan'an County waved his hand, pointed to the roof beside him and said, "If I stood aside, the little girl of the Wang family might not be able to let go of her fists. The roof can be seen clearly, but it is still hidden."

Not long after Nan'an County King used lightness skills to get on the roof, Wang Xifeng rushed into the school yard with the red tasseled gun that Wang Ziteng specially made for her.

"Why did you come to see me now and take a shot at me!"

Wang Ren is very busy studying, Jia Lian is the only one who can play with her.However, Jia Lian hadn't come to see her in the capital for several days, and the servants of the Rongguo Mansion sent a steam boiler yesterday, so Wang Xifeng felt a sense of anger in her heart, so she took the red tassel that Wang Zitengxin made for her. Qiang intends to teach Jia Lian a lesson.

Jia Lian's training under the king of Nan'an County was not for nothing. After a few tricks with Wang Xifeng, he took off Wang Xifeng's red tassel and threw it aside, and then tightly bound Wang Xifeng and left the school grounds.

"Don't cry, I will cook chicken in a steamer for you later."

Originally, Wang Xifeng's eyes were still a little red, but when she heard that Jia Lian was going to cook delicious food for her, she gradually relaxed, and followed Jia Lian to the kitchen of the mansion.

The two young ones went to play, and the king of Nan'an went to the main courtyard to wait for the prince to come back.

Wang Ziteng learned that Jia Lian had worshiped the king of Nan'an County as his teacher, and felt that it was much better than learning from him fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.

"Lian'er has the county king as her master, so I feel much more at ease."

"Lian'er wants to be a general in the future, you, father-in-law, should keep an eye on him in the Wen test."

The king of Nan'an County directly attacked the prince and had never experienced martial arts, so he didn't have as much experience as Wang Ziteng in this regard.

Wang Ziteng nodded to show that he understood.

After talking about the business, the King of Nan'an County began to chat with Wang Ziteng.

"Lian'er took your daughter to the kitchen, and later you will be able to taste your son-in-law's cooking skills."

"Don't set my kitchen on fire..."

Jia Lian usually adds a meal to himself. Before practice, he puts the chicken into the steamer, and he can eat it after the practice is over.

Seeing Jia Lian's proficient movements, Wang Xifeng gradually began to look forward to what Jia Lian's creations would taste like.

While waiting for the steam pot chicken to be ready, Wang Xifeng asked, "What is Uncle Jia doing now?"

"My dad should be floating in the sky right now."
