Chapter 10: No Good Banquet (2)

"Prince Xin, please!" Qu Yi took Zhu Yinglong and the others to the door of the destination and squeezed out a smile and said.

Zhu Yinglong raised his foot and stepped into the wing room. Xiong Zhaolian and Qu Yi followed him in one after another. Turning his face, he saw that Zhu Gongye had already sat upright inside.

There was a table of seemingly rich wine and dishes, two round stools, a pot of wine, and two wine glasses. It seemed that there were only two people at the banquet tonight. Zhu Yinglong had a slight smile on his lips, and slowly walked over. He sat down opposite Zhu Gongye, put the jade fracture fan in his hand on the table, picked up the empty wine glass in front of him, played with it for a few times, and then smiled at Zhu Gongye, the King of Zhou who looked unnatural, and said, "Uncle Zhou was suddenly so polite to his nephew and sent someone to send a special post to invite his nephew to the banquet. My nephew was really flattered."

Zhu Gongzi was already full of anger. If he hadn't listened to Qu Yi's analysis of the interests and the treasure that made him moved, how could he temporarily bow to the yellow-mouthed child in front of him and personally sent someone to send him a post to invite him to a banquet? Seeing Zhu Yinglong's look that he didn't see him at all, he was even more annoyed. If it weren't for the seriousness of the relationship, he would have had a long time ago. The fat on his face was shaking, and it didn't seem like he was smiling: "Nephew Wang won a game. Shouldn't this uncle congratulations?"

"Actually, it's very difficult for nephew Wang to be. Shuying is Wang's beloved concubine, and Shulan is his own sister. She doesn't want to marry Uncle Wang of Zhou. As a brother-in-law, I must not ignore it. There is no way, and Wang can only help her reluctantly." Zhu Yinglong said in a very embarrassed look, "Besides, if Shulan marry Uncle Wang, then the future generations of Wang and Uncle Wang of Zhou will be messed up? Wang is also considering Uncle Wang. There are many beauties in the world. With Uncle Wang's ability, why worry about not having a beauties thrown into his arms!"

"Hmph!" Zhu Gongye felt uncomfortable after hearing this, and snorted coldly, "Zhu Youjian, I am here tonight to listen to you. Let me tell you clearly. I want the half street in Gulou, you can offer a price."

Zhu Yinglong thought that Zhu Gongye was indeed an anxious temper. He laughed, put down the empty wine glass in his hand, picked up the jade fracture fan on the table, opened it and said, "Uncle Zhou, the four stores of Wang Nephew Wang are about to open. You have proposed to ask for that piece of land and store at this time. Please forgive me for not agreeing."

"One million taels!" Zhu Gongzi stared at Zhu Yinglong coldly and said a number.

Zhu Yinglong shook his head with a smile.

"One.5 million taels!" Zhu Gongye gritted his teeth and continued. No one in Kaifeng dared to bargain with him like this, and Zhu Yinglong was the first one.

Zhu Yinglong still shook his head, and an angry flame suddenly ejaculated in Zhu Gongye's eyes. Qu Yixin, who was standing beside him, was suspended in the air and did not dare to interrupt.

Zhu Yinglong was not afraid of Zhu Gongye's murderous gaze at all, and looked at him calmly, while Xiong Zhaolian was sweating in his hand, standing vigilantly behind Zhu Yinglong, beware of Zhu Gongye's attack in anger and shame.

"Two million taels!" Zhu Gongqian held back his anger and said to himself, "You have a basic foundation in Kaifeng, and your life is short when you leave the palace and build a mansion. I am afraid that the huge villa outside the city is also the money you paid for by your father-in-law Tian Hong. He had already sent someone to investigate the half street. The land deed and the house deed are in the name of Tian Shulan. His price has exceeded more than twice, and no one has ever let him suffer such a big loss!

Zhu Yinglong was also constantly turning his mind. He was considering whether to give up the four stores that were about to open. He didn't believe in any treasures underground, but it was a pity to give up like this. He didn't want to die just after his first business. He was really hard to make a decision. He thought that Zhu Gongye invited him to come to tell him about the treasure map. Unexpectedly, he didn't mention it at all and wanted to buy his four stores as soon as he came.

The half street of the store is clearly a treasure in the so-called treasure map. Should I point it out? He knew clearly that even if there were these treasures, he could not touch his hands. He had a very strong feeling that there was a hand behind the treasure map that Zhu Gongye obtained. Although he vaguely guessed who the owner of this hand was, he was not the opponent of the owner of this hand. If he advanced, he would only fall into the trap of the other party, and he could only retreat this way.

Zhu Gongzi thought Zhu Yinglong was moved and was considering it. His face was not so ugly. He was just like himself, greedy and lustful. He originally thought that he was a match for the opponent, but now he didn't look very good. He was even more disdainful of Zhu Yinglong, thinking about how to deal with him after taking out the treasure!

"Okay, I agree." Zhu Yinglong's eyes suddenly opened, and his eyes shot straight to Zhu Gongye's face, and he said decisively.

"Prince?" Xiong Zhaolian was startled by Zhu Yinglong's sudden decision and said in surprise.

"Don't talk too much, go back!" Zhu Yinglong's face darkened and he shouted Xiong Zhaolian back. Xiong Zhaolian was very puzzled, but he had to listen to the prince's order and retreated angrily.

Zhu Gongye also gave Qu Yi a wink. Qu Yi instantly understood that he filled the wine glasses of the two, and then bowed to bow and bow to them and bid farewell.

"Uncle King Zhou, please!" Zhu Yinglong picked up the wine glass and raised it flat.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Zhu Gongye could not lose his demeanor in front of a junior, he also picked up the wine glass and said, "Please, Nephew Wang!"

The two of them drank it in one go, and the green cloud dew and the green cloud dew were brewed by their own wine. It is said to be the secret recipe of Guyuan's palace. The wine is sweet and refreshing, with a slight spicy texture, and it has not lost the signature of this century-old brand!

Without speculation, Zhu Yinglong and Zhu Gongye were not on the same path, so naturally there was nothing to say. Although an agreement was reached, the grudge between the two was not eliminated. Zhu Yinglong thought about it again and again, but he could not be too strong. Although he reluctantly gave up the four shops in the half street, he did not lose much. On the contrary, he earned nearly twice the amount of silver, which was not considered a loss.

Zhu Yinglong and Xiong Zhaolian walked out of Cuiyun Tower and returned to the palace. Xiong Zhaolian had a lot of questions and couldn't wait to ask: "Prince, why did you do it in Cuiyun Tower just now..."

Zhu Yinglong was upset and interrupted impatiently, saying, "I will talk about this question later. Go and call Shi Kefa to me!"

In fact, there is no need to call him at all. Shi Kefa was waiting for the two of them. As soon as he heard that the prince had returned to his house, he rushed over. Xiong Zhaolian had just got the order to go and add people, but happened to meet Shi Kefa who was busy.

"Sorry, Xianzhi, I just sold all our four stores to King Zhu Gongzi of Zhou." Zhu Yinglong apologized when he saw Shi Kefa's first sentence. He just had a chance, but now he has taken it back.

"What, Prince?" Shi Kefa said excitedly. Although he had been in charge of the four stores for only a few days, he had already had feelings for the four stores. Now he sold it as soon as he said he could. Why is he not excited?

It is a bit inappropriate for Zhu Yinglong to act arbitrarily in such a big matter, but he also thought about it carefully. He must not keep the hot potato in his arms. God knows whether the treasure and treasure map are true or false. It is true that a man is innocent and is guilty of possessing a treasure. He does not want to be the target of public criticism, so he can only retreat to advance.

"Prince, since we already know about the treasure map, why do we still sell the store to King Zhou?" Shi Kefa forced himself to calm down and asked.

Zhu Yinglong said helplessly: "We know, but what we can do now can only be pretending not to know."

"But the prince had already told the King of Zhou yesterday." Xiong Zhaolian interrupted and said.

"I said that, but that was just said in a guessing tone. Even if Zhu Gongyao knew about it, he could not say that I knew about the treasure map." Zhu Yinglong explained, "What I worry about is that if there is no so-called treasure underground, what will you think it will be?"

"The King of Zhou would definitely think that the prince had already dug up the treasure and deceived him, which would be even more trouble." Shi Kefa's mind was quickly turned and he said in horror.

Zhu Yinglong nodded with a serious expression. He is now at a crossroads, in four directions, walking on the wire in any direction. If he is not careful, he will fall to pieces. He doesn't know that the road is correct. Do you think he is terrible in his heart?

It’s not right to retreat, nor is it right to advance. It’s really uncomfortable to have a dilemma. Zhu Yinglong suddenly felt a strong bitterness permeated in his chest. In fact, it’s the same in ancient and modern times. Survival and development are not easy.

What to do? Zhu Yinglong had a split headache, and Shi Kefa and Xiong Zhaolian were also silent because they were thinking about it and could not think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds.

Maybe I can only take one step at a time, and it depends on whether God favors me.
