Chapter 161

The Zhang family is a big family in Pingyang City. When they walk outside, they are all figures. However, if they are placed in front of Zhao Jingyun, they will not even be qualified to carry shoes to the prince.

On weekdays, the Zhang family wants to give gifts to the royal family, so it is not easy to have a relationship. Unexpectedly, the butler of the royal family comes to the house in person today, with the only purpose of asking for a few roses in the Zhang family.

Haha, let alone the roses in the villa, even if the prince asked for the villa, the Zhang family would not blink, so they would ask for the money given by the housekeeper.

The Zhang family doesn’t want money. If you want to make a relationship, it depends on whether the butler is willing or not.

The housekeeper ate snacks, drank tea, sat for a stick of incense at Zhang's house, and got twenty-eight roses in total. "How much money is required, and the miscellaneous family can go back to pay the job."

"No, the prince likes roses. Giving this flower to the prince is also our blessing." The head of the Zhang family smiled and bowed to show his charm.

"That won't happen." The housekeeper shook his head, "Is Mr. Zhang worried that the prince can't afford the money? If it spread, others would think that the prince was domineering and forced the flowers of your Zhang family to occupy."

This is serious! The Zhang family dared not continue to say it, and everyone turned their attention to Mr. Zhang.

Mr. Zhang sighed in his heart, OK, I guess there is no chance to get in touch today. He peeked at the butler's face, and he looked like he was doing business.

"Ten taels of silver were much lower than this price at the beginning." Mr. Zhang's congratulations were very obvious.

Several men from the Zhang family followed suit and agreed. The meaning was obvious. The Zhang family did not reduce the price and checked the cash on the market.

How could the housekeeper not understand the prices on the market? Roses are not a precious flower species. However, twenty flowers born in a few years only cost ten taels of silver from the Zhang family, which is equivalent to giving them for nothing.

He said righteously, "One is one, two is two, and the prince cannot be criticized because of this matter."

He directly added ten taels of silver.

The Zhang family looked at the twenty taels of silver notes on the table and smiled bitterly.

Can you buy twenty roses with twenty taels of silver? You are really worthy of being the housekeeper of the royal palace, and you can do things without any leakage. There is little money for money and you have gained a reputation of integrity. Again, the Zhang family has no connections.

Pingyang City said it was big or small.

The butler of the royal family just left the Zhang family gate, and other wealthy families, who had rose trees, prepared people to guard the garden and wait to dig the trees.

The butler walked around a dozen stores in the morning, and each store didn't take half an incense stick. After going out, he got a lot of rewards.

Fan Xuanji was not idle either, he slipped among the four great masters.

At this moment, he was sitting in the main hall of the Xue family.

"I don't know what wind blows on Lord Fan." The head of the Xue family did not dare to neglect Fan Xuanji at all.

Fan Xuanji is different from the butler of the royal mansion. The butler of the royal mansion is a eunuch in the palace. Strictly speaking, he is a servant. No matter how powerful the butler is, he can respect him after leaving the gate of the royal mansion, but he doesn't have to hold him.

But Fan Xuanji is different.

Fan Xuanji is nominally the accountant of the royal palace, but anyone with good standing in Pingyang City knows that this person is actually the number one strategist around Zhao Jingyun.

What is a strategist? He is a person who can kill a mansion with just thinking. When he goes back, he just sows a few words in front of Zhao Jingyun, and the Xue family will be unable to leave.

As soon as Fan Xuanji entered the door, the head of the Xue family personally received the reception, and did not dare to be careless at all.

"I heard that some roses are very well grown in Mr. Xue's mansion. The prince planned to plant some roses in the new yard. I'm here to get the scriptures." Fan Xuanji replied with a smile.

Growing flowers? The head of the Xue family was stunned.

Fan Xuanji picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, looked at him with a smile, and said nothing.

Master Xue looked at him suspiciously, just for the roses to come to the door. At this time, the roses have just sprouted and have not yet grown buds. What's so good about it? When it comes to growing flowers, can the gardeners in the royal palace be worse than those of the Xue family?

Fan Xuanji laughed in his heart. The Xue family was full of ghosts, and his arrival would inevitably make the Xue family guess a lot. But this time, he really had no other intentions, and his goal was the Xue family's roses.

Don’t say that the Xue family wants to know why the prince went crazy in the middle of the night, even if he doesn’t know why?

Guess, guess hard!

"Prince Fan, please." Seeing that he was as stable as Mount Tai, the head of the Xue family was not surprised, and he really didn't mention anything else. He had to take Fan Xuanji to "appreciate" the roses as his master.

There are a hundred roses in the Xue family, scattered in the garden and in the courtyard.

Fan Xuanji pretended to follow the head of the Xue family around the Xue family, praising the language and praising it carefully.

The Xue family's mouth twitched, and Fan Xuanji was so exaggerated that it was too exaggerated, and it was too embarrassing for Fan Xuanji. The more Fan Xuanji did not mention the serious matter, the more uncertain the Xue family felt.

Originally, they had a ghost in their hearts because of some things. They had to consider almost every word when they spoke to Fan Xuanji before they dared to say it, for fear that they would not have said anything that they should not have said inadvertently, so that Fan Xuanji could seize the handle of the Xue family.

"Young Master Fan." When the crowd returned to the flower hall and sat back, they saw Shui Bai hurriedly running in from outside.

When the Xue family saw Shui Bai, they felt nervous again.

Shui Bai is the personal guard beside Zhao Jingyun, could it be...

"Young Master Fan, you still have the intention to sit down and have tea. Go back and take a look. I don't know who ordered the roses in each flower garden. After the housekeeper returned, the prince was angry." Shuibai's expression was very accurate, and it seemed that it was really the case.

"Oh no." Fan Xuanji is also good at acting, and the surprise on his face is unconcealed. "How could this happen?"

The Xue family was confused when they heard this.

"Mr. Fan, the royal family wants to purchase roses?" Master Xue asked in surprise.

"The prince built a new farmhouse and wanted to plant some roses, but unfortunately..." Speaking of this, Fan Xuanji seemed unwilling to continue talking, and his face was indescribable.

The head of the Xue family could no longer hear the meaning of the words, and he was just in vain.

"Roses are thorny, and planting them in the yard is not suitable. The family has children and a few juniors are just toddlers. A few days ago, the mansion was planning to remove the roses. If Mr. Fan doesn't dislike it, the roses at home..."

"Don't dislike it, Lord Xue, you give up your love, I remember this favor. Thank you for your generous donation." Fan Xuanji looked happy, "Mr. Xue, it's not appropriate to go back and hand in the office, so I'm not polite."

"I dare not take it as a few flowers I wanted to give up. Mr. Fan doesn't have to take it seriously." The head of the Xue family politely refused him.

Fan Xuanji seemed to be really impatient to return home, so the servants of the Xue family went over and started digging flowers and trees.

"There is another tree here, and you don't want it in your mansion anyway."

"This small plant, don't hurt the roots." The two servants brought by Fan Xuanji were quick to handle and were responsible for supervising the worker.

The Xue family had a lot of people, and soon all the roses in the back garden and everywhere were removed by the servants.

"Thank you, Lord Xue, come together in the future." Fan Xuanji achieved his goal and was no longer interested in staying. "This is the money to buy flowers. Lord Xue must not refuse, if the prince knows..."

He raised his eyebrows and gave the Xue family a look to experience it.

The Xue family really realized the "deep meaning" of his words: If he didn't charge the cash, wouldn't it be true that the flowers that the Xue family wanted were picked up by the royal palace?

So Lord Xue bluntly accepted Fan Xuanji's kindness.

Fan Xuanji came inexplicably and was in a hurry. The Xue family thought for a long time but did not expect that he had other purposes. Fan Xuanji seemed to be just here for the roses.

"Dad, why do I feel something is wrong?" The eldest son of the Xue family was full of questions.

"Fan Xuanji is a fox, just a few flowers, so why does he need to come to him in person?" the second young master shook his head and said.

"Come." The head of the Xue family was worried, so he found two servants and asked them to go out and inquire.

The men of the Xue family sat in the flower hall, each feeling uneasy.

The servant went out for a long time before he came back.

"What did you find out?" Master Xue asked sternly.

The servant didn't dare to go around in circles, "The flowers were indeed sent to the royal palace. Mr. Fan did not return to the mansion after leaving our mansion, but went to the Fu family."

Go to the Fu family again? The flowers really gave them to the royal palace?

The Xue family looked at each other.

"Go and inquire."

The servant ran away quickly.

At noon, the servant came back to report the news that Fan Xuanji not only cheated the flowers of the Xue family, but also the Fu family, Xie family and Huo family, all roses, regardless of the quality and size of the flowers, were cheated away by Fan Xuanji.

In the afternoon, news came out again that all the roses in Pingyang City seemed to be taken over by the royal palace.

"Why did the prince suddenly purchase so many roses? Even Fan Xuanji and the butler have to come out in person." Master Xue didn't have any idea. Is it shameless to say that Fan Xuanji's words to cheat his family?

"Go and inquire."

OK, it's not difficult to inquire at all. The news came out soon.

It turned out that Zhao Jingyun owed the favors that the Xie family owed.

"That girl from the Lin family is really strange. She doesn't want money, so why do she spend money?" The head of the Xue family frowned. "Recently, the prince seems to be getting closer to her."

Speaking of the last sentence, a sharp gaze flashed in the eyes of the head of the Xue family. The position of the mistress of the royal family belongs to his daughter, and no one can block his daughter's way.

The yard of the royal mansion is filled with rose plants of all sizes, including many rare and exotic varieties.

"Are all the roses in the city here?" Zhao Jingyun asked lazily.

"It's all here." The housekeeper replied with a smile.

Fan Xuanji laughed too, it would be impossible not to laugh. The prince was in a bad mood and he didn't want to be punished. The prince didn't think about it. Today, Pingyang City was a mess. Almost every household knew that the prince was going to buy roses, and who dared to hide his own private life.

"It's good to be here." Zhao Jingyun was very happy. "I'll find a carriage to load it. I will send it to Eagle-billed Village in person."

I went, it was indeed unusual. Fan Xuanji thought badly that the prince probably offended Miss Lin and wanted to use roses to please Miss Lin.

No matter how others think of him, Zhao Jingyun happily came to Eagle-billed Village. Behind his carriage, following the vast convoy, it looked like a long dragon from a distance.
