"My son-in-law, I like money the most, besides my wife, of course."
In the small pavilion in the back garden of Uncle Anding's Mansion, Xu Qing took a sip of tea after speaking and looked in the direction of the martial arts arena, where Su Qian and Xiao Ruxue were studying swordsmanship together.
County Magistrate Su took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup and asked doubtfully: "You are in charge of the Guoshang Yuan. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the richest in the world. You are not short of money, why do you take money so seriously?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "Father-in-law, you come from a serious and scholarly family. You have had enough food and clothing since you were a child. You have no worries about food and clothing. You have never suffered from poverty."
"Compare this to my son-in-law, who has been farming for six generations and has been a policeman for three generations. He is really poor! Although he has a lot of money, he just feels it is not enough! This money, for my son-in-law, it is more.
The better!”
As someone who has lived in poverty and has been poor for a long time, Xu Qing’s character has already suffered from severe phobia of money shortage.
Only by looking at the increasing amount of money in my hands can I feel a little more stable in my panicked heart.
Yes, I am not greedy for money, I just want to make as much money as possible, and my money is not greedy. It is all earned from legal labor and paid taxes to the court!
An absolute gentleman loves money and gets it wisely!
Prince Qi's Mansion
Mr. Wu continued: "The Guoshang Yuan is called the Ministry of Small Households. With money, you will have power. With both money and power, what else can a person pursue? Nothing more than fame and sex."
King Qi heard this and murmured: "Mr. Wu, do you mean to ask me to find some beauties to send to him?"
Mr. Wu shook his head and said: "Your Highness wants to use the wealth and power of the Anding county uncle to achieve hegemony, so how can he use ordinary beauty? And I heard that the wife of the Anding county uncle is also a first-class beauty, such a beauty.
I’m afraid it’s hard to impress him with her ordinary beauty.”
When King Qi heard this, he frowned and asked, "Since the wife of Count Anding is already a first-class beauty, where can I find a beauty with better beauty?"
Mr. Wu said: "A few days ago, Princess Gao Ning came to His Highness's residence to confide her dissatisfaction with the Prince Consort..."
Princess Gao Ning is the biological sister of King Qi's mother. Although she has been married for a long time, she dislikes her husband in every possible way because she has no talent, virtue and incompetence.
Nowadays, the decline of Princess Gao Ning's consort's family background has become more and more obvious in recent years. This makes Princess Gao Ning even more dissatisfied with her consort, and she is afraid that she will divorce her husband.
When King Qi heard this, his eyes narrowed and he said: "You mean to let me use the emperor's sister to please the Anding county uncle?! This is simply ridiculous! How unreasonable!"
Mr. Wu immediately knelt down and said quickly: "Your Highness, please calm down. I have no intention of blaspheming the princess!"
King Qi looked at Mr. Wu with a stern face and said, "Then what do you mean?"
Mr. Wu said: "May I ask if your status as the county boss of Anding is worthy of my princess of Dachu?"
King Qi was slightly startled when he heard Mr. Wu's words: "At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he was granted the title of county magistrate and was in charge of the Guo Shang Yuan. Naturally, he is worthy of the princess."
Mr. Wu said: "Princess Gao Ning has long been dissatisfied with the prince-in-law who has no talent and no virtue... ahem, but the Anding county uncle is a powerful figure in the court with both talent and political integrity."
"If Princess Gao Ning and County Count Anding are able to get married, wouldn't it be a blessing to both the princess and His Highness? It would be a double success."
King Qi said: "Mr. Wu also said just now that the Anding county uncle already has a wife, how can he marry the emperor's sister?! Is it possible that the emperor's sister should marry him to have a child?! It's really ridiculous!"
Mr. Wu shook his head and said, "What if the uncle of Anding County divorces his wife?"
The King of Qi was slightly stunned and said: "divorce your wife? Why did the Anding county uncle divorce his wife?"
Mr. Wu said: "Does Your Highness know who the wife of County Count Anding is?"
King Qi asked: "Who is it?"
Mr. Wu looked at King Qi and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The question he just asked was for him to answer! He was not asked to ask back!
The fact that the King of Qi could ask this question means that he has been winning over the Anding County uncle for a long time, and has not checked the details of the Anding County uncle at all. In fact, the Anding County uncle has been in Beijing for nearly three months. The King of Qi even
Who is the wife of the uncle of Anding County? Who knows his father-in-law?
In fact, maybe his understanding of County Count Anding was based on the few times he had met him in court.
In other words, His Highness Prince Qi didn't even bother to inquire, let alone investigate.
Such a prince can no longer be described as a straw bag!
At this moment, Mr. Wu was even thinking that he might as well pack up and run away. Not to mention himself, even Marquis Zhuge Wu would not be able to help him while he was alive, right?
Can he really go that far just by virtue of his status as the eldest son of an emperor?
If you can't make it, wouldn't all your dreams be in vain?
Not only was it in vain, but he might even suffer disaster if King Qi failed to seize the throne.
But now I'm afraid it's too late to quit and replace him.
So what if it's not too late?
Who to replace?
Prince Feng who makes mistakes from time to time and gets scolded, who is always subject to great variables and extremely high risks?
It’s no different from a salted fish, it just eats and waits for death. Are you right, King Xin?
hiss--
After such a comparison, it seems that King Qi is the one worthy of assistance. Although he is a bit idiotic and stupid, he is fortunate enough to be simple enough!
At least he can listen to what you say, so that you can express your ideas one by one.
If I had someone else to assist me, I might not necessarily have the status with King Qi.
Mr. Wu could only sigh silently in his heart and said: "The daughter of Magistrate Anding, and when Magistrate Anding was still Magistrate Yong'an of Yongzhou City, Anding County's uncle was already the son-in-law of Magistrate Anding, that is to say
The Anding County uncle's father-in-law was able to be transferred to the capital because of the Anding County uncle's behind-the-scenes efforts."
King Qi nodded and said, "The wife of the county magistrate of Anding is just the daughter of a mere county magistrate?"
Mr. Wu said: "Yes, that is to say, on the road from Anding County Uncle, his wife cannot be of any help to him, and on the other side is the golden Princess Gao Ning, a royal nobleman."
"Both Anding County Uncle's parents died when he was young. As for those relatives who can't even fight or have long ago not known each other and have low status, they can't rely on them. It can be said that the Xu family was forcibly raised with the help of this Anding County Uncle.
Yes, without the help of blood relatives, the Xu family has no foundation at all, and it cannot compete with a century-old family."
"Furthermore, no matter how high the title of County Count Anding is, so what? A minister is always a minister, but if you marry Princess Gao Ning, you will enter the royal family, and Princess Gao Ning is also beautiful."
"On one side is Princess Gao Ning of Da Chu, and on the other side she is just the daughter of the magistrate of Anding. County magistrate Anding is not a fool. Would he let the princess go and continue to live with the daughter of a magistrate for the rest of his life?"
