Xu Huanzhen felt that his mind was in a trance.
As time goes by, it seems that many things have changed, and many things have not changed. His mood is different, but her smile is still so beautiful, even more in people's mind than at the beginning.
Time deposition has given her better things, maturity and self-confidence.
When he first met her, he knew her identity. He not only admired her beautiful face, but also admired her noble family background. Xu Huanzhen knew that he was only the son of merchants. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the capital, he would be unable to do anything without the support of Royal relatives and nobles.
So he took the line of Wei Rong.
Xu Huanzhen knew that he was smart, so he had a determined attitude towards many things. In his eyes, there was nothing that money could not do.
But over the years, he has experienced so much and knows that not everything can be bought with money.
For example, the girl in front of me.
No... he should respectfully call her Princess, but out of his own caution, he still stubbornly called her Princess.
He had a crooked mind for her and lured her brother into the quagmire of gambling. Xu Huanzhen knew that he was not a good man. If he were a good man, he would not break into a world in the capital in such a short time.
Even if you are not a good person, there is something beautiful in your heart that is worth pursuing and yearning for.
He has plenty of money and status, which is now readily available.
But he always felt that there was something missing in his heart. He couldn't understand it before. Until today, when he saw Wei Ruo Yi again, Xu Huan really suddenly understood what the defect that always existed in his heart was.
It's her!
Xu Huanzhen couldn't help laughing. A mercenary like him really liked the princess with poor reputation.
At first, he just thought he wanted to use her bad reputation to successfully enter the noble circle and become one of them.
"Why does the princess laugh?" Xu Huanzhen asked.
"I just don't think I've seen you for a long time, but you don't have the annoying smell you carry in the capital." Wei ruoyi told the truth, she never hid her disgust for Xu Huanzhen, but this time, she really didn't hate him as much as before.
"Don't be careless." Xu Huan really didn't know why. He felt weak in the bottom of his heart. He slightly hid his head and threw a fist at Wei Ruo Yi, "princess, don't put it in the bottom of his heart."
"My memory is not very good." Wei ruoyi smiled.
"If the princess doesn't dislike it, Xu is willing to give half of the horses raised this time to Guanxi camp." Xu Huanzhen said with a fever in his heart. He regretted that he had raised 300 fine horses, all descendants of famous horses. If he got the capital, almost every horse would be worth more than 100 gold. His mind was hot and he sent out 150 horses at once
But then, he was relieved that even if these horses didn't give Wei Ruo clothes to the capital, they would only give him the remaining half after the man's exploitation. It's better to send Wei Ruo clothes as a personal favor. At that time, it will only be said that these horses were infected with horse plague during migration and lost more than half.
At the beginning, the man introduced him to the capital quickly. These days, he has made a lot of money for him. If he owes, he doesn't owe the man anything.
In addition, so many horses he raised have been taken by the man for half, and there are almost thousands in front and back. He never asks where these good horses go, not that he doesn't want to ask, but that he knows he shouldn't ask.
The man has been urging him to expand the racecourse, but he has been prevaricating for various reasons.
He knew that the man was powerful, and Xu Huanzhen also knew that his repeated procrastination had been disliked by the man, so he left the capital and actually wanted to leave the capital for some time under the pretext of cruising.
The man made his fortune in the south, and his forces are mostly in the south. His hands on the north side are not that long, so he is safe here.
As for money, no one will dislike making less money, but it also depends on whether you have life to spend it.
Xu Huanzhen is a smart man. The longer he has been in the capital, the more things he understands. When he first arrived in the capital, he was full of ambition and always felt that he could make a world by himself. In fact, if he had not been backed by a big tree, no matter how hard he tried, he would just throw a stone into the ocean. At most, he would have smashed a spray of water, and there would be no sound, It can never lift a huge wave.
He sees more and contacts more, so he knows that he wants to protect his life. Among the Royal relatives and nobles, he can only pretend to be deaf and dumb. Don't think he is smart. People are not only smart, but also have power!
He intends to gradually fade, so traveling north is a good choice.
He also knew that the man began to be dissatisfied with himself, so he simply presented other industries purchased in the capital these days with both hands, leaving only the horse farm in the capital.
He always needs to leave a tool to contact other nobles in the capital. Even if he does business elsewhere in the future, it has something to do with the capital, which is better than giving up everything. Xu Huan really knows that even if he is bad, there is still one thing good, that is, he knows advance and retreat!
Xu was born from a concubine and had many children. He was naturally sensitive to some things.
Money is a good thing and everyone likes it, but it also depends on whether you have life to spend it.
Xu Huanzhen didn't really hurt his money. After years of operation, he didn't need to worry about money for a long time. Moreover, he also knew his ability and could always earn his money back.
So it's worth it for him to give up something to protect his life.
The reason why he didn't give in to Wei ruoyi before was just to see what Wei ruoyi had become. After testing, he was satisfied, and naturally he soon let go and agreed to Wei ruoyi's request.
If he had known that his "good" could bring Wei ruoyi's sincere smile, Xu Huan really thought, maybe he would have said it.
"Are you serious?" Wei ruoyi was about to take his fingers out of his ears to avoid hearing wrong!
A businessman! A mercenary businessman was just haggling over every penny with her. You come and talk about terms, but in the blink of an eye, he donated 150 good horses to the Kansai camp?
"Really." Xu Huanzhen nodded and smiled slowly.
Without the calculation at the bottom of his eyes and the hidden gloom, Xu Huanzhen's smile now really feels a bit of spring breeze. He was born handsome and a little more open-minded. When the whole person smiles, it seems to brighten people's eyes.
"Isn't there any other conditions?" Wei Ruo Yi frowned.
"There are no conditions," said Xu Huanzhen. "The princess can come to this place to protect the family and the country. Since Xu has known the princess for a long time, how can he do something for the princess to make it worth meeting at Lishan Academy."
"Don't!" Wei ruoyi quickly waved his hand. "I don't seem to have a good face for you. If you send me so many horses on the pole, I won't have much affection for you."
Although it was true, Xu Huanzhen still felt hurt from Wei ruoyi's mouth.
"The princess still speaks so straight!" Xu Huanzhen can only sigh. "As the princess said, the princess has always been true to Xu. Even if Xu tries hard, he is still a humble and even disgusting guy at the bottom of the princess's eyes. However, your highness, Xu's horses are not given to the princess, but donated to my Daliang Guanxi camp, so the Princess doesn't have to bear any burden. Xu knows his identity, I dare not have any attempt on the princess. "
Xu Huanzhen raised his hand and bowed to Wei ruoyi. Wei ruoyi observed him for a long time. He saw that his eyes were clear and his expression was natural. He didn't seem to be lying. In addition, Wei ruoyi thought, he really couldn't cause any adverse impact on himself, so he was relieved.
"In this way, I'll thank Mr. Xu for his generosity and wealth for guanxi camp." Wei ruoyi smiled. "If there was any slander against Mr. Xu before, please don't take it to heart."
"The princess is serious." Xu Huanzhen was relieved to see that Wei ruoyi was willing to accept it.
The greatest sorrow in the world is that he wants to give her something, but she doesn't care at all. Gold and silver are nothing to Wei ruoyi at all, so he can only send these horses.
"By the way, Xu just passed by and saw Xiaobai." Xu Huanzhen smiled. "The princess raised it very well." when Wei ruoyi bought Xiaobai, he just thought that Wei ruoyi just looked at Xiaobai's good looks and painted it fresh. According to Xiaobai's bad temper, he should annoy Wei ruoyi sooner or later. If it was light, he would eat a whip. If it was heavy, he might be killed by Wei ruoyi, Unexpectedly, Wei ruoyi really developed Xiaobai into a war horse!
Therefore, things in the world are always unpredictable.
"Speaking of Xiaobai, I also want to thank you. Do you know that Xiaobai is called Tianma descendant by people here!" Wei ruoyi smiled. She told Xu Huanzhen about Xiaobai's trembling of the enemy's horse last time, and Xu Huanzhen's eyes lit up after listening.
"Princess, if Xu doesn't invite me, I hope the princess will complete." Xu Huanzhen stood up and saluted Wei ruoyi.
"Tell me." Wei ruoyi just took back the camp in Kansai and got 150 good horses for nothing. He was in a good mood.
"If Xiaobai has children in the future, please sell one to Xu anyway," Xu Huanzhen said.
"I knew you didn't do uncertain business." Wei ruoyi said with a smile, "OK, just promise you. But it's not for sale, but for free!"
"Really?" Xu Huanzhen was surprised. He didn't expect Wei Ruo clothes to give his descendants of Xiaobai. It would be good to sell them.
"My words are true," Wei ruoyi said with a smile.
"Then Xu is serious. Thank you, princess." Xu Huanzhen said, "Xu will visit this generation recently. If the princess needs anything, just let her know and Xu will promise to be on call!"
Wei ruoyi smiled and nodded, then thought, "by the way, the Guanxi camp has been used as a horse farm for a long time. I think the things in it have been dilapidated. Since you are here, you are familiar with the merchants here. Do you know who can help repair the camp? Be fast and good. The price is above..." Wei ruoyi paused, "You also know the situation of guanxi camp. It's estimated that there will not be enough money. But we can settle the silver in batches. It won't be short."
"This is simple!" Xu Huanzhen laughed, "Did the princess forget that Xu was able to do all kinds of business. The princess just asked, and Xu promised to help the princess achieve all her expectations. Xu should be responsible for repairing the camp in Kansai for a long time. As for the silver, everything is easy to discuss. Xu didn't wait for money for emergency use, so the camp in Kansai can pay in batches as the princess said."
"You?" Wei ruoyi hesitated. "Is your business here?"
"Not yet, but where to do it?" Xu Huanzhen said confidently. "The princess just rest assured that Xu can make a military order with the princess. If Xu does something that does not meet the princess's requirements, the princess just takes Xu's head."
"There is no joke in the army!" Wei Ruo Yi said in a deep voice.
"Xu also has no jokes." Xu Huanzhen said positively.
"OK. I'll make a military order with you. If you can't meet my requirements, I'll turn my face," Wei ruoyi said.
"If Xu dares to say so, he will do it!" Xu Huanzhen said with a smile.
Wei ruoyi nodded.
Xu Huanzhen is really capable. Wei ruoyi knows this very well. Wei ruoyi doesn't know much about repairing houses and other things. If you find local people, for one thing, few people are willing to pay money in advance and let Guanxi camp repay in batches. Even if there is, it's very worrying about the quality. For another thing, she doesn't have so much money It's impossible to keep an eye on the management and repair work all the time. Xu Huanzhen is willing to make a military order, which is the best. If she finds that there is something cutting corners, she will chop Xu Huanzhen. Xu Huanzhen doesn't say a word of nonsense, so he won't joke about his life.
Thinking about it, Wei ruoyi really thought it was reliable to hand over the repair of the barracks to Xu Huan.
"Don't worry, I've asked the Ministry of war for the subsidies in arrears in previous years, and I'll have money in the future. So as long as you do well, you won't be in arrears for too long." Wei ruoyi thought it was a big problem whether he could pay on time, so first appease Xu Huanzhen.
"It doesn't matter." Xu Huanzhen smiled. He didn't take the job to make money, but to stay in the Kansai camp.
Anyway, he can't go back to the capital for the time being. Where else is better than Guanxi camp in Beidi? It's safe, and he can see Wei ruoyi all the time!
Don't say he doesn't make money, even if he gives money, he'll be happy. If the money is gone, he can earn it back, but the opportunity to get close to Wei Ruo clothes doesn't always exist.
Even though I knew she was married, I couldn't help but want to see her. Prince Yongning was not here and was far away from the capital, so... If the hoe waved well, maybe the corner of the wall could be dug down... After all, the princess doesn't hate him as much as before.
