Mao Xiang slapped his thigh and laughed and said, "Prince-in-law, you are so smart for once!"
Hu Guan bared his teeth and kept rubbing his thighs, with a confused expression on his face.
"But, I still have to ask you to borrow it!" Mao Xiang said again.
"You borrowed it, but you have no intention of paying it back, right?" Hu Guandu laughed angrily.
Snapped!
Hu Guan shivered and quickly moved his stool back.
"I'm sorry, I'm used to it!" Mao Xiang raised his eyebrows, took back his hand and said with a bared smile, "Your Majesty, it's just what you said, whether you want to borrow it or pay it back, there are many different types of not paying it back. Only when you admit it and don't you pay it back
No, I didn't tell you that I wouldn't pay it back after I borrowed it, so how can you say that I have no intention of paying it back?"
"Junior, seeing you like this..."
"Do you want to borrow it?" Mao Xiang crossed his legs again and stared at Hu Guan.
No matter how good-tempered Hu Guan is, he is also angry at this time. He is also a second-generation descendant of a noble family and a prince-in-law. There are really not many people who can make him angry.
"No money!" Hu Guan spread his hands, "I guess you also know the family background of this junior. It's just the land, so that when our family is divided, I will leave some scattered silver for me. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have maintained the princess mansion these years.
All of our expenses depend on the princess’s dowry! For example, the farmland outside the city, the shops in the city, and several pawn shops run by the family’s servants..."
"Would you like to borrow it?" Mao Xiang asked again.
"How can I borrow money if I don't have any money?"
"You can borrow it from someone else!"
"I......"
Mao Xiang curled his lips, "I know you have no money, but don't you know anyone who has money? I have entrusted this matter to you, so you have to handle it for me."
Bearman!
Absolute bear!
I have never seen such a bear!
It’s like a bear!
Especially when Mao Xiang was talking, his eyes were not on the same line, as if he didn't even notice him as a living person.
Hu Guan endured the anger in his heart, "Senior, you can't be unreasonable. If you have something to do, I will take care of it, but you... I don't have any money, so I have to lend you money, and if you don't pay it back, you
You haven’t told me why you want to borrow the money and where to use it. You are not short of money..."
"Hey, I suddenly discovered something!" Mao Xiang said with a smile, "You are suitable for storytelling, and your words are smooth!"
Hu Guan's anger had reached the extreme, "Senior, this is not a small amount! The princess' annual salary is only a few dollars a year! More than 300,000?"
After saying that, he continued in a dull tone, "Besides, if you need money, you can go to the palace to find it..."
"How can I open my mouth to these two masters about my own private matters?" Mao Xiang suddenly stopped smiling and glanced at Hu Guan, "Just tell me whether you want to borrow it or not?"
"Are you blackmailing me?" Hu Guan stood up and took a few steps back and forth, "Where can I buy something for you?"
"Yeah, yeah, are you looking like that?" Mao Xiang curled his lips, "You really think I won't repay you? Huh, I've never blackmailed anyone in my life. Since you don't want to..." As he said that, Mao Xiang also stood up.
.
As soon as he got up, Hu Guan began to worry about gains and losses.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't do anything with this money..."
"Five days!" Mao Xiang stretched out a slap in the face, "Five days to prepare the money, and I will get it at this hour in five days!"
Hu Guan was stunned immediately.
"I can only come to you for this matter!" Mao Xiang asked Hu Guan's heart, "Who asked you to take over Qingyan! My business is your business, you must contribute!"ъìＱυＧΕtＶ.℃ǒΜ
"What if it's my business?" Hu Guan asked subconsciously.
"It's still your business!" Mao Xiang smiled, put his hands behind his back, pulled up his shoes and strolled around like an idle man on the street.
Hu Guan didn't react until he left for a long time.
"I...more than three hundred thousand...where can I get it?"
He really didn't want to borrow, but he knew that now that Mao Xiang had spoken, it was definitely not as simple as borrowing money. Mao Xiang wanted money, and there were many places where he could get it, not to mention borrowing. But he happened to find him, so there must be something hidden.
.
But having said that, if Hu Guan was asked to take out more than 300,000 yuan in five days, he would not be able to get it out even if he smashed the bones and dregs!
~~
Forbidden City, Nine-Five Flying Dragon Hall.
The main hall is nine rooms wide and is located on a white marble stone base. It is not as majestic as other palaces, but it has a special sense of silence.
This seems to be related to its location. It is located behind the deep palace and next to the inner garden. Even the people in the palace cannot find it.
This place was originally the place where Empress Ma worshiped Buddha during her lifetime, and is now used to enshrine Buddha statues in the Forbidden City.
There is a Buddhist niche in the main hall, filled with incense and majestic treasures.
The men of the Zhu family don't believe in gods and Buddhas, but if you don't believe it, you don't believe it, and if you worship it, you worship it.
Outside the main hall door, there is a pavilion.
Zhu Yunxi stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the surrounding scenery quietly, seemingly in a trance.
Not long after, there was a sound of slight footsteps.
Zhu Yunxi didn't turn around and said, "No need to salute!"
But the visitor still kowtows respectfully, "Your Majesty, Mao Xiang, I wish you the best!"
"I heard that you are really leaving this time!" Zhu Yunxi turned around with a gentle smile on his face.
"yes!"
"Where to go?"
"go home!"
"oh!"
Simple questions and simple answers, but each question and answer contains profound meanings.
The favor was given to Hu Guan, but Mao Xiang did not retreat. He went to a place no one knew about, but returned to the capital.
This time, he is leaving. Going to the place where no one can really find him, and starting his life.
As for the home he mentioned, Zhu Yunxi knew where it was, but he didn't know if it was really the place he knew.
"I have been wandering all my life without a home. My white head has withered and I sigh at the old age. The green mountains are half covered with smoke and clouds at night. When I go back, I will watch the sunset silently!" Zhu Yunxi thought thoughtfully and felt something.
"Your Majesty is so talented in poetry!" Mao Xiang praised in a low voice.
"My poem is not really poetry, it is just melancholy. But if you like it, I will give it to you. I will give it to you as a farewell gift!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
"I will never appear again in the future!" Mao Xiang finally raised his head and looked into Zhu Yunxi's eyes.
"I will not let anyone find you!" Zhu Yunxi said, "You have never lived for yourself for a day in your life. From now on, the remaining days are your own!"
Hearing this, Mao Xiang knelt down and kowtowed again.
He understood what the emperor meant. The emperor gave him a gift, a person who knew too many secrets, so that he could finally be himself and be a real person.
"When we say goodbye, do you have any other requests?" Zhu Yunxi said softly, "What do you want? As long as you say it, I will agree!"
Mao Xiang shook his head, "I already have enough!" He said, smiling, "Besides, I am only one person, and everything else around me is a burden!"
"Oh? Are you really alone?" Zhu Yunxi joked.
Rarely, Mao Xiang's face turned red.
"Did you go to see the old man?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
Mao Xiang paused and said hesitantly, "I don't dare!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi was surprised at first, and then understood completely.
"You guy!" Zhu Yunxi laughed and scolded, "If it was really what you thought, how could you survive to this day?"
Mao Xiang didn't dare to say "leave" to the old man. He was a little afraid, afraid... that he wouldn't be able to leave.
"Who else knows you are leaving?" Zhu Yunxi asked again.
"There is no one else but the Emperor!" Mao Xiang kowtowed. "In a few days, I will suddenly disappear from this world, as if I don't exist in this world at all, as if I have never been here!"
Zhu Yunxi turned around with his hands behind his back and looked at the scenery in the distance again, "In that case, just live your life!"
"Before I leave, I have something else to let you know, Your Majesty!"
"explain!"
Mao Xiang kowtowed again, "I extorted more than 300,000 yuan from the Prince Consort of Nankang!"
"If you want money, tell me..." Zhu Yunxi turned around, "Why are you blackmailing him?"
"It's not blackmail, but there are some people who have to be entrusted to him!" Mao Xiang looked at Zhu Yunxi with a calm expression, "It's some private matters of the minister, but it's also some official matters. The people involved don't know what blue eyes are, let alone
I don’t know who I am. It’s just that I... I feel that I can’t disappear with guilt!”
