Chapter 10 Huan Er cheats and helps Xiaojiu
After talking about official matters, Huan Ji couldn't wait to talk about his brother's business trip.
"Brother, you and Xiaojiu have been away from Beijing for less than two months. You have traveled so far from north to south and accomplished so many things. It's so exciting!"
Huan Yu smiled and said, "If I had known it was so exciting, you would have volunteered, right?"
Huan Ji scratched his head: "How dare I think so... By the way..."
He leaned closer to Huan Yu: "Brother, you and Xiaojiu have been alone for so long, have you ever..."
Huan Yu reached out and pushed him away: "Are you too busy recently? I remember when I first arrived in the capital, I heard you say you wanted to find a wife. It's been a few months, but you haven't met any girl yet?"
Huan Ji muttered: "He's talking about what he's doing again. Only people with a guilty conscience do this!"
Since you and Xiaojiu left Beijing, I have been in charge of all the training of Team Mo Qi, and I have to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty.
Coupled with these elaborate works of Liuyun Kingdom, I am so busy that I almost have no time to sleep, so I don’t have time to meet any girls..."
"You really haven't met anyone?" Huan Yu looked at him with a smile.
"I knew it!" Huan Ji stamped his foot heavily.
How dare those two brats Bei Mo and Dong Li betray him!
Although I am also their master, they can't just spread everything!
"Brother, you must not listen to Beimo's nonsense. I went to Wenyuanhou's Mansion because of Hua Hou's invitation, but I really couldn't save my face. I have nothing to do with Hua Shizi's younger sister, Miss Hua."
"Flower girl?" Huan Yu raised his eyebrows, and the smile in his eyes became even brighter.
"Okay!" Huan Ji jumped up from his chair: "Brother, you are actually cheating!"
Huan Yu stretched out his hand to pull him back to the chair, and said warmly: "Tell me quickly, what's going on with Miss Hua?"
Huan Ji's ears turned red: "There was nothing wrong in the first place. If you keep thinking about it, I won't say anything."
"Brother, I promise not to talk nonsense." Huan Yu raised his hand and swore.
Huan Ji then said: "Brother, do you remember the last time I bumped into a girl in Ruyi Building?"
Several unusual things happened that day, and Huan Yu certainly remembered them.
"That girl is Hua Shizi's sister?" he asked.
"Yeah." Huan Ji nodded and told him about his second encounter with Hua Xiaohan in Ruyi Tower.
Huan Yu's eyes widened.
There are such coincidences in the world!
The capital is so big and there are dozens or hundreds of famous restaurants. How come these two people always meet in the same place?
"Then if you go to Wenyuan Hou's house as a guest, the previous misunderstanding should be resolved, right?"
"Anyway, I said everything I needed to say clearly, but the flower girl's reaction seemed a little strange at the time, so I didn't bother to care."
"What did you say?"
"I just introduced her to her about my situation, even telling her about pulling pigtails from little girls when I was a child."
Huan Yu really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Why is his silly brother so funny?
What's the point of clearing up misunderstandings and talking about these messy things?
He also said that the flower girl’s reaction at that time was a bit strange. If it’s not strange, then it’s really strange, right?!
"Okay, let's just talk the matter out. After all, Hua Shizi and we work together, and it's always bad to have misunderstandings all the time.
I'm a little tired and want to take a rest. Come call me later during dinner."
Huan Ji still had a lot to say to him, but seeing that he was indeed a bit tired on his face, he had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
After he left, Huan Yu called Sang Pu in.
"Master, do you have a problem with me?"
"Sang Pu, how did your cousin take revenge on his father?"
Sang Pu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No matter how bad my uncle is, he still bears the name of a father. If it takes his life, wouldn't he involve his cousin himself?
Since life cannot be taken, then something more important than life is needed.
My uncle loved his money more than his life, so my cousin used a trick to get his property into his hands, leaving him with nothing."
Huan Yu fell into deep thought.
The fate of Sang Pu's cousin is somewhat similar to that of Xiao Jiu.
As a woman, Xiaojiu cannot take the life of Duke Xiao, so she will definitely take away the things her father cares about most like Sang Pu's cousin.
What does Duke Xiao care about most?
It definitely couldn't be family love, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to do such nasty things back then.
That is power, status, and wealth.
Without his title and official position, he was just a mere abbot, not even qualified to go to court.
In addition, the Queen doesn't want to see him, so what status does he have?
Duke Dingguo's status is respected, and it is absolutely impossible for others to take away Duke Xiao's title.
So he can't help Xiaojiu at this point.
Then only wealth remains.
Duke Xiao's income is clearly shown as salary.
But according to the rules of a distinguished family, all salaries and wages must be transferred to the public, and no one can touch this part of the money.
Therefore, the only thing that can be calculated is Xiao Guogong's private property.
"Master..." Seeing that he didn't say a word for a long time, Sang Pu called out softly.
Huan Yu curled his lips: "Sang Pu, find a few useful people and find out as quickly as possible how much private property Xiao Guogong has and what they are. After you find out, come and report it immediately."
"Ah?" Sang Pu was a little confused.
What's going on?
Although Xiao Guogong is Jiuye's biological father, he has nothing to do with his own father.
What is the purpose of having someone inquire about his private property?
"You don't have to ask so many questions, you will know everything by then."
"Yes." Sang Pu responded.
"Also, how much money do we have left with the money we brought to the capital?" Huan Yu asked again.
Sang Pu did a quick calculation: "There are a total of three thousand six hundred and twenty-seven taels left."
The corners of Huan Yu's mouth immediately drooped.
Duke Xiao's private property is worth at least hundreds of thousands of taels. He only has such a small amount of money on hand, so what can he use to fight with others?
If I had known earlier, I would have brought more money to Beijing...
"Master, do you need money?"
Huan Yu hummed.
"How many do you need?"
Huan Yu raised his eyes and looked at him: "Of course, the more, the better. What, what do you mean, do you plan to lend me some money?"
Sang Pu hurriedly waved his hand and carefully took out a seal from his arms: "Master, do you see what this is?"
Huan Yu took the seal and brought it to his eyes. When he saw clearly the style of the seal and the word "Yang" engraved on it, he whispered: "Isn't this my uncle's seal? How come it is in your hand?"
Sang Pu said: "When you were taking a bath just now, Uncle Lin personally handed it to me and asked me to hand it over to you.
He said that General Yuchi left it behind when he left, and he was afraid that the Third Young Master would lose it carelessly, so he gave it to you for safekeeping."
The corners of Huan Yu's mouth raised again.
There is a bank owned by the Yuchi family in the capital. With this seal, it is not difficult to withdraw a large amount of silver from the bank.
