Chapter 455 455 Attention, spending a lot of money for beauty
Xiao Jiuan is a man of his word, while Ji Yunkai is a man of tolerance. No matter what happens outside, the two of them will do what they should do and will not be affected by outside events at all.
In the past few days, the servants of Yanbei Palace have been searching for valuable flowers and plants all over the capital. Every day, truckloads of flowers, plants and seeds are transported into Yanbei Palace.
Some people who are familiar with the situation in Yanbei Palace couldn't help but ask after knowing this: "Isn't it true that Yanbei Palace can't raise flowers and plants? Why does it have to start raising flowers again?"
In the early years, the Yanbei Prince's Mansion also had flowers and plants. This was not the case with this mansion before. When the old Yanbei King was here, the Yanbei Prince's Mansion in the capital was known as the most beautiful garden with the most complete flowers and plants in Tianqi Capital. How many dignitaries did not hesitate to pay the sky-high price for it.
, wanted to buy the palace of the prince, but was rejected by the old Yanbei King.
Later, Xiao Jiu'an succeeded to the throne and lived in this mansion for three months. All the flowers and plants inside died. Afterwards, the gardener of Yanbei Palace planted a new batch. He even put a lot of effort into it, but he couldn't grow a single one.
live.
This mansion seems to be cursed. Even the most capable cactus inside will wither and die. The same goes for the flowers and plants in the neighboring houses. The king will die every three seconds.
After too many deaths, the people in the Yanbei Palace gave up. The masters on the left and right did not live in the palace permanently, and only stayed for two or three months every year. No matter how well managed it was, that was all.
Later, the mansion became what it is now, with school grounds everywhere and not a trace of green.
The Yanbei Palace has been like this for so many years, and the people in the capital are used to it, but they didn't expect that after so many years, the people in the Yanbei Palace still want to grow flowers and grass. How unwilling are they to give up?
There are many good people, and many people ask the servants of the palace to ask questions. However, the servants of the palace, who are always tight-lipped, don't hide anymore, and answer whatever they ask.
"Our princess likes flowers and plants. The prince has ordered us to collect exotic flowers and plants. If you have good things in your hands, be sure to bring them out. Our prince will never treat you badly."
"It doesn't matter what kind of flowers or plants, as long as they are strange and beautiful, our princess will like them all."
"In addition to flowers and plants, do you need anything else? The Yanbei Palace originally had a rare treasure garden, but it was closed later. Do we need to decorate it now?" The curious treasure garden was originally for raising animals. It was located behind the Yanbei Prince's Palace.
The master didn't pay attention and blocked it directly instead of opening it up.
The Yanbei Palace occupies a large area, and the place where Ji Yunkai and Xiao Jiuan live now is just the tip of the iceberg. Most of the courtyards are sealed off, and they are separated from the outside, like another mansion.
"Our princess doesn't like animals, so she won't turn them on. But if there are venomous snakes from southern Xinjiang, don't forget to keep them for us. Our princess loves them." The servants of the palace continued to spread Ji Yunkai's preferences, and
He told everyone without leaving a trace that the items purchased by the palace in the future will be based on the princess's preferences.
"I know this. I heard that snake meat is the most nourishing and nourishing for the body, especially poisonous snakes. The effect is very good. Princess Yanbei is weak and is about to use poisonous snakes to nourish her body. And I heard that there is no cure for the poison on Princess Yanbei's face.
To solve the problem, we can only use the meat of venomous snakes to slowly raise them." Obviously, this was someone arranged by Xiao Jiu'an in advance to promote the efficacy of venomous snakes in southern Xinjiang.
"Jin Yuxuan's caravan went to southern Xinjiang a while ago. I heard that they brought a lot of poisonous snakes. It seems that Jin Yuxuan's people are going to make money this time." Some people who were well-informed were immediately envious.
typical.
"Our palace has bought all the venomous snakes in Jin Yuxuan. If anyone still has venomous snakes from Southern Xinjiang, no matter how many, our palace will accept them all. Remember, our palace only wants venomous snakes from southern Xinjiang, not those from other places."
Jin Yuxuan is a small and medium-sized trading firm in the capital. It has been doing business between Tianqi and Southern Xinjiang all year round. This time, it specially brought the poisonous snakes from Southern Xinjiang back because it had heard the news spread by the Yanbei Palace.
And with such an incident, everyone knows that what the Yanbei Palace said was true. More people will want to bring poisonous snakes back from southern Xinjiang, and more people in southern Xinjiang will be willing to catch snakes and sell them to Tianqi.
Later, Jin Yuxuan's young master's family also confirmed that they had indeed sold a batch of venomous snakes from southern Xinjiang to the Yanbei Palace, and the price was not low, which made more people excited.
But it is not easy to go to southern Xinjiang. Most people simply cannot afford to go to southern Xinjiang. No matter how high the price of venomous snakes is, most people can only look forward to it.
However, if you can't sell venomous snakes, you can sell flowers and plants, no matter what kind, as long as they are good-looking and strange, even if they are seeds, the Prince of Yanbei and the Royal Palace will take them. He is completely taken advantage of, which makes people in the capital wonder.
What's strange is strange. When people in the capital heard the news, they started to dig up flowers and grass one after another, just asking the Yanbei Palace to buy it. The people in the Yanbei Palace no longer had the reputation of being taken advantage of. Even if they didn't find anything unusual, they would give it to them.
The price is also high.
…
In the past few days, there has been a lot of buzz outside. It is the story of Xiao Jiuan, the king of Yanbei, who spent a lot of money to win a beauty. No one even mentioned the incident of bird attacks. Whether it was common people or dignitaries in Beijing, the first words they said when they met
, it must be "What did the Prince of Yanbei receive today?" or "How much money did the Prince of Yanbei spend today?"
When Xiao Shaorong heard the news in the army, he couldn't sit still and rushed to the palace overnight to find Xiao Jiu'an.
"Your Highness, can we not buy it? Even if we dig a gold mine, we can't spend it like this!" Xiao Shaorong almost wanted to vomit blood. Their prince had spent tens of thousands of taels of silver these past few days and couldn't eat a bunch of them.
Is it really a waste of money to spend money on flowers and plants that cannot be drunk or used, and will die in a few days?
This is to please the beautiful woman, but there is no need to do this.
Yes, Xiao Shaorong had the same idea as outsiders, thinking that Xiao Jiuan was trying to please Ji Yunkai, otherwise why spend money to buy a bunch of flowers and plants that would only last a few days.
Xiao Jiuan put down his pen with a "pop" sound and glanced at Xiao Shaorong coldly: "At this time, you are not in the military camp, so what are you doing here?"
Xiao Shaorong was startled, and his tone couldn't help but weaken, but he still said firmly: "I'm here to persuade the prince, stop spending money like this. I feel bad just listening to it."
"What I am spending is the palace's money!" What's wrong with him spending his own money to please a beauty?
Ahem, he is not trying to please the beauty, he has other purposes, but we cannot say that we are together.
"What belongs to the palace belongs to the Yanbei army." Xiao Shaorong said this confidently. Didn't the Yanbei army rely on the money from the palace in recent years?
If the palace did not provide money, Yanbei's army would have been disbanded long ago.
"What belongs to the palace belongs to me, and how I want to spend it is my business!" Who he wants to spend his money on is his business, and no one has the right to interfere, not even Xiao Shaorong.
"My lord... do you really want to continue spending money?" Like a bolt from the blue, Xiao Shaorong was startled, suddenly raised his voice, and looked at Xiao Jiu'an in disbelief.
When did their prince give up his kingdom for the sake of beauty?
Does the prince know that every penny he spends now is used to support Yan Bei's army?
Master Jiu said: It’s raining. I told a certain stupid one for a long time. Running and walking on a rainy day will get the same amount of rain, but a certain stupid one still doesn’t understand. (To be continued)
