Gu Qingyan had already reserved a seat at Yunzhongwei, so the two of them went directly to Yunzhongwei.
The private room is the room facing the lake with the best view. When you open the window, you can see the lake outside. There is no need to put ice in the room. The lake breeze blows and it is very cool.
An Huajin was in a good mood and sat down by the window, "Have you heard how people outside spread the word? His Majesty is probably very depressed now."
The more deeply the engagement between her and Gu Qingyan became popular, the harder it was for His Majesty to cancel the engagement.
"Yes." Gu Qingyan couldn't hide the smile on his face, "In a short period of time, Your Majesty may not be able to propose the cancellation of the engagement."
Anhua Jin smiled, if His Majesty is in a bad mood, she will be in a good mood.
The young man served Yunzhongwei's best wine and food, and also gave a large plate of watermelon as a gift.
An Huajin was surprised, "It's not the season to eat watermelon yet, right? Why are you eating watermelon so early?"
The boy smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows, and said enthusiastically, "Back to the little princess, we have to wait half a month later every year before we can eat watermelons, but this year the farm that supplies us Yunzhongwei with fruits and vegetables is said to have come up with a new idea, so we can eat it early."
We built a greenhouse and the watermelon seedlings had enough temperature to grow. This year it was hotter than in previous years, so they matured half a month earlier than every year."
An Huajin suddenly realized, "No wonder!"
She took a piece of watermelon and ate it. It was very sweet and full of water. She said to Gu Qingyan, "It's delicious. You should try it too."
Gu Qingyan nodded and took a piece with a smile, "Well, it is indeed delicious."
"This farm that supplies vegetables and fruits to Yunzhongwei has a bright future." An Huajin commented, "It's half a month ahead of others, so the price is probably not cheap."
The boy smiled and said, "It's not cheap. The normal market price of watermelon is one hundred cents per catty, and ten catties of watermelon cost one tael. Now it's one thousand cents per catty, and ten catties of watermelon cost ten taels."
Silver."
An Huajin clicked his tongue, "It's doubled ten times."
"Yes." The young man nodded, "In addition to supplying the major restaurants, the early-ripening watermelons are also supplied to major mansions in the capital. Ordinary people cannot afford it, but the dignitaries in the capital are interested in it for ten taels of silver.
Don’t care.”
As he spoke, he suddenly glanced at An Huajin, thinking that there were rumors that Princess An was generous. That was five hundred thousand taels of silver, which ordinary people could not earn in three lifetimes. Princess An
All given to Mr. Gu Qi.
If we talk about watermelons, how many watermelons have we given away?
"What's the name of this farm?" An Huajin has been trying every means to earn military pay for the Nanyang Army since three years ago, and he likes people who can make money.
"This farm is located in Qingyou Mountain, fifty miles outside the city. The farm manager's surname is Liang. Because he has almost monopolized the supply of vegetables and fruits in recent years, he was nicknamed Liang Heizi. The owner behind him is
Who, no one knows, anyway, he manages 500 acres of farmland in the mountains and forests, growing various vegetables and fruits. The price is higher than others, but the food is indeed better than others. It is fresh, clean and delicious." The young man talked eloquently.
Endless.
An Huajin glanced at Gu Qingyan and saw a smile on his face. She smiled and said, "I understand, go and do your work."
The boy walked out with a smile and closed the door of the private room.
An Huajin smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Is this Liang Heizi yours?"
Gu Qingyan smiled slightly and looked at her tenderly, "How do you say she is mine?"
"Guess."
Gu Qingyan smiled and nodded, "He is indeed mine."
An Huajin lamented, "Take Chu Chen as an example, how much does Prince Shan love him? He couldn't even take out one hundred thousand taels of silver to bet, but you took it out as soon as you asked. Others only guessed that after I came to Beijing
, Your Majesty has given me countless rewards, and I have all sorts of things in my hand, totaling enough for one hundred thousand taels. But I never thought that I would realize it or not. Only you could bet me one hundred thousand taels of silver without blinking an eye.
of."
Gu Qingyan laughed.
"Actually, I'm quite curious, how much property do you have in your hands?" An Huajin lowered his voice, "Back then, the eldest prince's private weapons-making case was reported, and your majesty sealed the eldest prince's privately-made weapons depot. The eldest prince was under your majesty's nose.
Under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you don't have much money in your hands. The money and expenses for making weapons privately are all paid by you. Do you support the eldest prince?
"Yeah."
"All the income from Hongfenxiang on the Eighth Street is used to support the eldest prince?" An Huajin looked at him, "It is said that the arsenal is very large. There are 100,000 good bows and arrows, 50,000 spears and swords each? What else?
?"
"There are swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. There are not too many others. As long as they are used by the army, they are all available." Gu Qingyan lowered his eyebrows, "When the incident happened suddenly, I was unable to move and all were exposed to Your Majesty.
In front of you."
"Since the incident happened suddenly, is there a traitor?"
"Well, there is a traitor in the eldest prince's place."
An Huajin knew that if the traitor hadn't come from the eldest prince and there was irrefutable evidence, His Majesty would not have directly obtained the evidence of the eldest prince's private weapon-making case. If he wanted to behead the eldest prince, how could Gu Qingyan do so in such a dangerous situation?
Now, it is very difficult to protect the eldest prince without exposing oneself and secretly maneuvering around. Naturally, there is no more energy left to protect the privately made arsenal.
"What a pity!" An Huajin sighed.
There are so many good weapons, but they were sealed at His Majesty's request. If they were used in the army, the Nanyang Army would not still be using tattered weapons.
"It won't be a pity. Sooner or later, the arsenal will be unsealed." Gu Qingyan's eyebrows calmed, "No one's hard work will be in vain."
An Huajin raised his face with a smile, "Do you think His Majesty will unblock that weapons depot in his lifetime?"
"It depends on whether Nan Qi and Nan Liang will raise troops."
Yes!
If Nan Qi and Nan Liang raise their troops again and make a comeback, wouldn't it be that if they have unscrupulous generals and no weapons, they will be left to die? If your Majesty is not so stupid, then he should unblock the arsenal and replace the weapons of the Nanyang Army.
She happily ate a piece of watermelon, and then picked up another piece to eat, "Iced watermelon is really cool."
"It's not advisable to eat too much." Gu Qingyan's eyebrows were gentle.
"It's okay, my stomach has always been good." An Huajin said nonchalantly, "If my father and brother hadn't died in the Battle of Yuxueling that year, Your Majesty would have suspected that my grandfather was behind the eldest prince's private weapons case three years ago.
Support the eldest prince to rebel."
"Yeah." Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Gu Qingyan changed the subject, "The food will be cold in a while."
An Huajin nodded, threw away the watermelon rind, and picked up the chopsticks.
The two of them had just taken two bites of food when the door outside was pushed open. Chu Chen stood at the door with an unhappy face. Behind him was Jiang Yunzhi who looked embarrassed to disturb the two but had to be pulled over by Chu Chen.<
/p>
An Huajin raised his head and looked at Chu Chen, seeing him staring at her with a confused look on his face, "Who provoked you again?"
It can't be her, right? She didn't mess with him today!
Chu Chen took a deep breath and said in a firm tone, "You won so much money, please treat me to dinner."
Jiang Yunzhi: "..."
Isn’t this not good? It turns out that Young Master Gu Qi and Princess An are dating. Is it appropriate to disturb people?
An Huajin did not agree, "This meal is for Huai'an."
"Just tell me whether you want to invite me or not!" Chu Chen felt that he was not an annoying person, but now, he was angry and didn't want to be angry to death, so he wanted to make trouble. He didn't want Gu Qingyan to be too proud and wanted to drink.
I want to drink their money.
An Huajin looked at Gu Qingyan and asked for his opinion.
Gu Qingyan glanced at Chu Chen and Jiang Yunzhi, and smiled lightly, "Little Prince Chen, Little Marquis Jiang, please!"
Chu Chen stepped into the room. Seeing that Jiang Yunzhi was motionless, he turned around and pulled him into the threshold.
Jiang Yunzhi could only put aside his embarrassment and saluted the two of them, "Young Master Gu Qi, Princess An, please forgive me."
Gu Qingyan smiled and asked the boy outside to bring in two pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
Chu Chen shouted outside, "Bring a jar of fine wine."
The boy responded.
The two of them sat down.
An Huajin looked at Jiang Yunzhi, they both had the same surname. After establishing their own family, the Guangcheng Hou Mansion was a new noble established during the time of the previous emperor, while the Duke of Liguo Mansion was gradually declining since the time of the previous emperor. Therefore, if not now
There is a promising Jiang Yunyi in the Liguo Duke's Mansion, and the Guangchenghou Mansion is implicated in the poisoned tea case, which affects the career of the family's descendants. So no matter what, the Liguo Duke's Mansion cannot compare with today's Guangchenghou Mansion.
Jiang Yunzhi looks two years younger than Jiang Yunyi. Unlike Jiang Yunyi who is mature and steady, this young prince looks quite lively and carefree. At first glance, he has a lovable temperament.
The boy quickly added bowls and chopsticks and brought a large jar of wine.
Chu Chen said to An Huajin, "You drink with me."
"Okay."
An Huajin agreed happily, thinking that he would not drink you down. It seems that you will not let us have fun today.
Gu Qingyan has no objection.
So, the four of them ate, and Chu Chen only caught An Huajin to drink. At first, he drank three glasses of wine from a wine cup. Chu Chen was not satisfied, and An Huajin was not very satisfied either, so the two asked the waiter to change.
Large bowl.
Jiang Yunzhi looked on with shame, but Gu Qingyan's expression remained unchanged, as gentle and elegant as ever.
Half an hour later, Chu Chen tilted his head and fell drunk on the table.
An Huajin's eyebrows were clear and she was only a little drunk. She looked at Chu Chen with a smile and cursed, "Idiot!"
Jiang Yunzhi: "..."
He finally got to see Princess An Xiao's drinking capacity today.
Gu Qingyan put down her chopsticks and smiled at Jiang Yunzhi, "Please, Mr. Jiang, please send Mr. Chen back. We still have something to do."
"Easy to say!" Jiang Yunzhi nodded quickly.
He finally figured out when Chu Chen had accepted the calamity of love. Now it seems that this calamity has passed.
