Duke Dingguo's Mansion is much larger than Prince Zhao's Mansion, and the scenery and layout are much more exquisite. Emperor Jiwu issued an imperial decree, not only giving the entire Duke's Mansion to Zhao Guanren, but also the surrounding dozens of acres of land, as well as the whole family's 160 acres of land. All thirteen women were distributed to him as slaves.
"This is an opportunity for you to be a new person. You must change your mind and accept the transformation seriously..."
Fen Saobao, the director of the Women's Office, began giving lectures in the courtyard early in the morning. More than a hundred romantic women were divided into three teams. Embroidered with five gold characters—Hengtong Food City!
"To change your mind is not to give money, but you are still a big director..."
A lady in cheongsam held a long jade cigarette holder and blew a puff of white smoke at him contemptuously. A young woman, a cook, also picked her fingernails and said contemptuously: "No! If you don't give money, it's not considered prostitution. There are many tricks. Quite, it's harder to serve than the uncle who gave the money, I don't know where the face comes from!"
"Why don't you know good or bad? Can the relationship between us be measured by money..."
Lu Datou said righteously: "You have been preparing for five days, and a large number of talents have arrived. Forget your past and go to work diligently and decently. Our boss said that as long as there are decent people willing to marry you, he will post a dowry." Send you out of the court!"
"Oh! You slut finally said something human, now there is hope..."
The girls applauded in surprise, chatting and laughing, surrounded him and walked out, only to see that the outside of the gate has been completely new, a white wall hundreds of meters long runs from north to south, on which not only rain-proof eaves, but also There are dozens of seats and benches lined up in a long queue.
"Oh! So many beauties..."
There were bursts of exclamation one after another. Thousands of talented scholars and rich young masters had already gathered outside the door, holding pens and inks and writing on the "Calligraphy and Painting Gallery".
"Good luck, gentlemen!"
The girls pinched their waists and bent their knees delicately, each of them looked like a lady of every family, and the poets all stepped forward excitedly to return the salute.
"I am the head of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, Zheng Yijian, and I have met all of you brothers and sisters..."
Lu Da headed forward and cupped his hands and said: "Lord Zhao opened a calligraphy and painting gallery to provide a place for scholars from all over the world to communicate. I hope everyone pays attention to their manners. These girls are employees of the food city, not brothel girls, and they behave frivolously. No matter how far you roll, you will not be accepted!"
"Whoever dares to defile another girl, I will be the first to make him look good..."
Someone yelled aggressively, everyone was flexible and serious, the girls covered their mouths and smiled pretending to be shy, and walked in a long line to the gate in the middle of the white wall.
Behind the courtyard wall were several private houses, which were bought by Zhao Guanren a few days ago and transformed into a big gourmet city. The houses were either transformed into teahouses or restaurants. The main products were of course crabs and crayfish. Special BBQ.
All kinds of stalls are placed along the street, various advertisements are posted everywhere, and the middle of the road is covered with oilcloth. Each lady leads a maid and cook to enter their respective stalls to form a family of their own. Of course, there are professional chefs to serve them. help.
"Wow! From now on, there will be something to eat and something to watch..."
The crowds of poets poured into the food city, so why bother with the poetry and painting gallery? A few talented scholars came to a booth excitedly and nervously, looked at the charming proprietress, and said respectfully: "Miss Trouble!" Wansheng wants a few bowls of tofu nao!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry..."
The former Sixth Grandma was a pretend professional, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said shyly, "Brothers! It's the first time for this younger sister to show her face in public, so I'm afraid I'll neglect you all, so I might as well give each of my brothers a bowl. I wish you all the best! Jin, the official luck is prosperous!"
"Thank you for your kind words, miss, but we don't
If you can eat for nothing, you have to pay for it..."
Talented scholars made their money one after another, and they were embarrassed to take out copper coins. They had to be in silver, and those who had no money hurriedly asked their companions to borrow it. Fly, it's too lively.
"Wow! It seems that we earn more than we sell ourselves, and it's much easier..."
Several beauties stuffed money into their pockets in surprise, and a maid said in a low voice: "Nonsense! We used to only get 10%, but now we own whatever we earn, and our prince is generous. There are probably more people at night. Sisters all wave up!"
"Don't be promiscuous! We are good women, we can't ruin our reputation..."
"Yes, yes, yes! I almost forgot, I have to choose a good husband..."
The girls are doing business in full swing, their specialty is all kinds of bragging, and the talented men are exaggerated by them. After eating, they recite poems and fight against each other. Under the girls' adoring eyes, the men all fight I felt the excitement like chicken blood.
"My lord! Our spies have been inserted in, but will it really work..."
Qiu Ning and Luo Tan stood side by side at the gate of the Duke's Mansion. The plaque on the door has been changed. It's not Zhao Wang's Mansion or Consort's Mansion. It's just a simple word "Zhao Mansion". I'm afraid I can't understand it.
"Those who get big data win the world, this is not just an intelligence collection station..."
Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "When the Oktoberfest starts and the poetry competition starts, all the hot men and women in the city will flock here. Then the fame will come out, and the food city will open all over the two countries. Intelligence, data, talents, business All communication will be concentrated!"
"master!"
Luo Tan led him into the compound, sat down in the gazebo and asked: "Has Zhang Tiansheng not been found yet, who owns the corpse poison powder, and will the Thai thieves get away?"
"If it falls into the hands of Thai thieves, the corpses have already started to emerge..."
Zhao Guanren lit a cigarette and said, "The city has been full of wind and rain for the past five days. The Yuan family has dispatched almost everyone to look for Zhang Tiansheng. The royal family has also spared no effort. Even the Dragon Guards have been dispatched. Only the gays and the Sanyi line have no response. You guys Who do you think?"
"The reaction of the gay three is not surprising..."
Qiu Ning frowned and said: "This is to show an attitude, the clean is cleared by itself, and the Yuan family will have secret talks with you and marry you, but I think they are the least suspicious. If they take away the corpse poison powder, It's impossible to jump up and down and make the city full of wind and rain!"
"That's right! I also don't think it's the Yuan family..."
Luo Tan said: "The Yuan family is the one who most hopes to eliminate the corpse poison, so that Hongluan can leave and they can rebel. There is no need to make extra troubles, and if the gay three takes away the corpse poison powder, he will definitely have The reaction should not just sit and wait for death, so the Ye family may be yelling "Stop the thief!"
"Emperor Ye thinks everyone is a fool, he is the fan of the authorities..."
Zhao Guanren sneered and said, "The gay man is a monk after all, he likes to exercise power but has no intention of rebelling, so the only person who doesn't want to destroy the corpse poison powder is actually the Ye family, because once the corpse poison powder is destroyed, it will be the Yuan family who rebelled." time!"
Luo Tan asked: "If the Yuan family really rebelled, how likely is the Ye family to win?"
"It depends on who the three gay guys are helping. If the three gay guys help the Yuan family, the Ye family will definitely die..."
Zhao Guanren took a puff of cigarette before saying, "If there are three gangsters to help the Ye family, it's a 50/50 split, but if he doesn't help anyone, the Ye family has no strong generals to fight against, and the Yuan family has a 70% chance of winning, so Even if Emperor Ye is killed, he will not take out the poisonous powder, but if he takes it out, he will be finished!"
"Then what to do..."
Qiu Ning said: "We can't let him hold onto the poison fan all the time. If he is really determined to be shameless and threatens to kill him, no one can do anything against him!"
"That's why! It won't happen until the Year of the Apocalypse, so it's useless for us to worry..."
Zhao Guanren got up and said: "I came decades early, Emperor Ye may have been carrying the poisonous powder into the coffin, unless I can help him destroy the Yuan family, but Hongluan will not agree, when the time comes, the Yuan family will play Fate, it's still a dead end, there is no solution!"
"My lord! Great joy..."
Song Chizhu suddenly ran over and said with a smile: "The negotiation is over, and Jiguo has made a lot of concessions, which is better than the result set by the emperor, but their only request is to get married as soon as possible, and the date of May 18 next month is set. , when you marry Empress Renfu, we will return to our country and return to our lives!"
Zhao Guanren asked suspiciously: "Why is it still that little girl? Didn't I say to change?"
"You can't marry Chang Di Ji, she is a widow, neither country will agree..."
Song Chizhu spread his hands and said: "You are a prince, and the only equivalent is the emperor. If you marry a prince, you will become the grandson of Emperor Ji. Besides, there are no other emperors of the right age. You can just let it go. Anyway, I'm not living with her, I just treat her like a fan!"
"Okay! You can go play with Fen Sao Bao, don't drink too much..."
"Hey~ It's too late to drink with a bosom friend, Director Zheng and I are too late to meet each other..."
Song Chizhut ran to the food city, but just as Zhao Guanren wanted to go back to have lunch, a large group of people suddenly came outside, and it was Ye Jier who led the princes and princesses here, but there were still people behind. Followed by many ministers and female relatives.
"Good brother-in-law! You moved to a new house and didn't invite us to drink. It's too embarrassing..."
The prince came up to him with great enthusiasm and gave him a hug. Zhao Guanren glanced at his daughter and said, "Don't call me brother-in-law. Why don't you call me your son-in-law? Anyway, you will be the emperor in the future. I think your daughter is more pleasing to my eyes than bitter melon face." !"
"Husband! You are too vengeful..."
Ye Ruoqing stepped forward with a smile on her face and said: "My concubine was just playing petty temper with you, who doesn't like to act like a baby with her husband, besides, she already knows that she is wrong, and she will never play petty temper with her husband again. Well, you can forgive me!"
"Yo~ You still have two faces, you really are a talent..."
Zhao Guanren smiled and didn't say anything. Anyway, for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, he had to marry this woman, but his attitude suddenly changed. Obviously it was because he overheard him last time, knowing that if he didn't hold his thigh tightly, his family Then there is a big problem.
"Good brother-in-law!"
The prince said again: "We brought all the female family members, as well as the family members of several ministers, they all had contact with Qingshu Xiaoguan, if they were all poisoned by Gu poison, we would be able to determine who the murderer is! "
"It's no wonder so many people came here at once, you all regard me as a gynecologist..."
Zhao Guanren looked at the hundreds of women dumbfounded, and said, "All right! Luo Tan, take the crown prince and the others to the dining room for tea. Ladies and gentlemen, follow me to the attic. Please trouble the crown prince with them!"
"Thank you, Prince Consort!"
The women walked into the depths together with him, and the experienced princess also followed, and suddenly saw a lot of eggplants planted in the vegetable field in the garden, she hurriedly said secretly: "Brother-in-law! Why do you still use eggplants?" , that thing is not reliable!"
"Why don't you try cucumbers or radishes? If not, I'll catch some eels..."
Zhao Guanren looked at her amusedly, and the Crown Princess spat at him with her face flushed, and after everyone entered an attic, she whispered: "I guess there are quite a few people who have been poisoned, you ask someone to take fifty." Prepare cucumbers, I have a solid solution!"
"Sister-in-law is really experienced, we will eat cold cucumber at noon..."
Zhao Guanren gave a thumbs up with a grin, and the Crown Princess punched him in shame and anger, and ran into the attic with her face covered...
