Seeing that Zhang Yue was so confident, Li Yujun said three good words in a row, and the sadness on his face finally disappeared, replaced by a strong look of excitement.
"This costume competition will be held on the third day of the Lunar New Year next month. At that time, all the civil and military officials of our country will go to watch the competition. Madam Zhang must prepare well and win the first place in this costume exhibition.
!”
It will be held on the third day of the Lunar New Year next month, and it is now the end of the month. If you think about it carefully, it will only last less than a week.
For others, this is an impossible task, but for Zhang Yue and Lin Xiao, it is indeed not a difficult task.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the little lady will do her best!"
Zhang Yue said firmly.
For the sake of her and Xiaozhouzhou's household registration, she will definitely try her best in this competition!
"Okay, then I will wait and see!"
Li Yujun laughed heartily.
His laughter echoed in the room, looking very happy.
"Well, Your Majesty, time is running out. The little girl will go back and get ready. I'll take my leave now."
After Zhang Yue left, Li Yujuan looked at Lin Xiao aside and went straight to the topic:
"Actually, I have something to ask of you."
"Whatever the prince has ordered, it doesn't matter. As long as the boy can do it, there will be no ambiguity."
Lin Xiao said cheerfully.
"I just like cheerful people like you!"
Li Yujuan touched his chin and looked at Lin Xiao with a smile:
"To be honest, the expenses in my palace are huge. I need money to maintain my life. Therefore, I want to use the help of Mr. Lin to make the money in my palace more generous. Mr. Lin, is there any way?
?”
"have!"
Lin Xiao didn't even think about it and said directly:
"Nowadays, there must be many dignitaries in the capital who have the original bitter and astringent salt in their homes. As long as the prince introduces them all to the boy to filter the salt, then the boy will give the extracted ingredients to the prince."
"How much commission will you give me for a pound of salt?"
"What I gave to the prince today is a loss price. As for those dignitaries, filtering a pound of salt requires fifty copper plates. How about I give the prince thirty copper plates?"
"Hahaha, okay, it's really nice. Then, I will remember this kindness from Mr. Lin!"
Li Yujun laughed loudly.
Seeing Li Yujun's happy look, Lin Xiao also grinned:
"I always thought that the emperor's relatives were wealthy masters, but I didn't expect..."
At this point, Lin Xiao realized that she had made a mistake and hurriedly covered her mouth.
Talking about the royal relatives is a capital crime for the nine tribes!
Fortunately, Li Yujun didn't care about Lin Xiao's slip of the tongue. Instead, he laughed loudly, patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and said:
"Young man Lin doesn't know something. We, the bitter relatives of the emperor, are far less happy and comfortable than you, the businessmen!"
Li Yujun's words are not without any moisture.
In order to secure the throne and prevent anyone from seeking to usurp the throne, successive emperors gave fixed salaries to their relatives.
For example, in Li Yujun's mansion, there are dedicated personnel to record the number of guards, maids, etc., as well as their salaries.
The emperor earmarked the money according to these records, and it can be said that the amount of money Li Yujun received was very little.
A typical example of being strong on the outside but strong on the inside!
Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard Li Yujun's words.
I thought the scenery was unparalleled, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. It is better to farm among the people!
Although Lin Xiao couldn't bear it in her heart, she didn't dare to show it with her mouth.
After all, the person sitting opposite is a serious prince!
The two talked about some household matters and then dispersed.
Before leaving, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel pity in her heart when she looked at Chen Yun, who was standing at the door of the store, nodding and bowing to the prince with great respect.
In fact, there is no deep hatred between them, and there is no need for them to be incompatible.
Besides, to put it bluntly, we are all businessmen, and peace is the most important thing.
Besides, if Zhang Yue and Xiao Zhouzhou really run into trouble in the future, Chen Yun might be able to help them.
"Second Young Master Chen, I have offended you in the past. Please forgive me and let's have a meal together if we have the opportunity in the future."
Lin Xiao smiled and bowed her hand to Chen Yun.
Chen Yun couldn't help feeling a little strange when he saw Lin Xiao's sudden friendly expression.
However, he didn't think much, he just nodded and said coldly:
"Then wait until you have the chance!"
This guy is really very smart!
Lin Xiao felt helpless for a moment.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I have something else to do. I'll take my leave first. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely treat Mr. Chen to dinner."
After saying that, Lin Xiao turned around and left, leaving Chen Yun with a chic back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Xiao left, Chen Yun caught up with him and said with resentment:
"What do you mean, kid? Are you deliberately trying to create a positive image in front of the prince?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiao paused, turned around and looked at Chen Yun with a smile, looking good-tempered:
"We have no enmity at all. At most, the poetry club was a bit unpleasant, so I don't think there is any need to make the relationship too tense."
"Hmph! You made me lose face at the poetry club. Do you still want to write off this debt?"
Chen Yun snorted coldly, looking confident.
"Then what does Mr. Chen want?"
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows and said.
"In addition to the poetry club and this time you deliberately stepped on me to promote Jin Sanniang's grain and oil store, I will never let it go!"
Chen Yun gritted his teeth and said.
Lin Xiao shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and said lightly:
"Second Master Chen, if you want revenge, just do it!"
"Hmph! Just wait and see, I won't let you go!"
Chen Yun said coldly.
Lin Xiao smiled, turned around and left quickly without saying anything else.
She doesn't have the free time to tangle with Chen Yun now.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
She had to quickly go to the inn where the Yinglaite envoys were staying to see if those envoys were the people she knew!
Lin Xiao walked quickly towards the direction of the inn.
She didn’t know at this time that this trip would bring her a huge surprise!
…
In the inn, Zhao Qianzheng came to visit with a special gift prepared by Prime Minister Wang Tuo.
"Oh, Mr. Zhao, your great presence will make my post station really shine!"
Seeing Zhao Qian's carriage and horses arriving, a postmaster hurriedly came out to greet them with a smile.
"Are all Yinglai's envoys still at the inn?"
Zhao Qian asked with a smile.
It's like he had a smile lip surgery. The smile always hangs on his face, and it's rare to see him with a straight face.
"Yes, yes, they are resting inside! Master Zhao, please follow me in."
With that said, Yi Cheng led Zhao Qian to the inn, and then saluted an old man with blue eyes and a high nose:
"Your Majesty the Special Envoy, Mr. Zhao is here!"
