Unexpected

"I'm going to tell you that I have entered into a sugar business in partnership with the palace."

"."

Empress Zhang pondered again for a moment, and then praised: "As a young hero, Your Majesty rewarded you with a few taels of sugar. Speaking of which, I am a queen, but I have never seen such sugar, as fine as

The soft sand is as white as snow.

At first, His Majesty did not tell me where the sugar came from, but later I found out that it was actually made by Xia Xima. Now that I see Xia Xima, I am filled with surprise. He is not very old, but he is so handsome.

There are such wonderful ideas.”

The corners of Xia Yuan's mouth have begun to twitch. As we all know, it may be a good thing for the leader to call you into the office and simply praise you to confirm your work, but if he praises you vigorously, it is never a good sign.

All experienced professionals in the workplace know that the situation is very difficult. Either you are going to be laid off, or you are going to take the blame for something.

The harder you praise, the bigger the pot will be.

Xia Yuan was not a veteran in the workplace, but he was certainly not a newbie. After all, he had been a social worker for a few years. Faced with the Queen's constant compliments, he really couldn't stand it.

Stop boasting, stop boasting. If you have something to say, just talk about it.

After waiting for a while, when Queen Zhang finally stopped, Xia Yuan said: "Mother, I am a thin-skinned person. You praised me so much that I feel ashamed. If there is anything you need to say directly, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."

for."

After another period of silence, Queen Zhang sighed quietly and said, "I have two younger brothers."

"I'm not afraid of making you laugh when I say it. These two brothers of my palace are useless. They are incompetent in literature and military. Thanks to His Majesty's favor, I just received two titles.

The sugar business you did made a profit of hundreds of thousands of taels a month. These two unsatisfied people were jealous and wanted to get involved, so they asked me to help me do this.

guest.

I know that this sugar is all your fault, and I also know that getting 50% of it is a big advantage for the palace, so I really don’t want to accept it.

But as the saying goes, an eldest sister is like a mother. Both of my parents passed away in the early years, and now there are only two younger brothers left in this world. I was in trouble again and again, so I called Xia Xima over to ask about something."

"I understand that this matter will make things difficult for Xia Xima. If you don't want to agree, then that's it. I will go to them and talk to them, and I will never make things difficult for you or be dissatisfied with you."

After listening to these words, Xia Yuan didn't feel too surprised. At the beginning, he had thought that the sale of sugar would definitely attract jealousy. With the emperor's joining, no one would dare to come in and interfere.

With the exception of Empress Zhang's two younger brothers, it's not a matter of whether they dare to do something, but whether they want to do something.

Reincarnation is a technical job. Zhu Houzhao has the most say on this point, as do these two relatives.

Although she did not directly join the prince's family, her elder sister entered the palace and became the queen.

And their sister, who is the queen, is still a brother-supporting demon, and this brother-supporting demon is the weakness of Emperor Hongzhi.

The Queen - the Fu Di Mo - only dotes on the harem.

When these three conditions are combined together, a terrible chemical reaction will occur.

Even though these two idiots had made many mistakes, and even though Emperor Hongzhi wanted to punish them many times, as soon as the empress, the demon who helped her younger brother, opened her mouth to plead for mercy, Zhu Youtang's heart softened, and once he softened, he easily let it go.

In such a fearless situation, let alone a human being, even a dog would have to float.

Now these two gadgets want to share a piece of the pie.

Can you refuse?

There is no need to think about this issue. Xia Yuan just asked calmly: "How do the Queen's two brothers want to become a shareholder?"

"These two worthless things don't know how to do business. They just invest some money and get some dividends every month."

Speaking of this, Empress Zhang hesitated and asked, "I wonder if Xia Xima would be willing to give up 20% of the fifty thousand taels of silver?"

"I am willing, but I cannot ask for it."

Xia Yuan agreed without much thought, and his tone even sounded a bit wishful.

There are some things you can't refuse, so agree happily and without scorn, and don't sound like you're half-dead or unhappy when you hear it, otherwise you won't be able to recover even if you bleed.

What's more, he didn't even want to refuse.

Seeing that he deserved to be so straightforward, Queen Zhang couldn't help but be speechless for a moment. After a while, she spoke again, with a softer tone,

"Then I will ask them to send someone to deliver the money to your house tomorrow. I will also ask Xia Xima to take care of you in the future and give some profits to the two of them."

"Don't worry, Madam. From now on, on the fifteenth day of every month, I will send the money to your two brothers on time."

"So there will be Lao Xia washing his horse."

After saying that, Empress Zhang said warmly, "I heard from Your Majesty that you have a lovely wife at home. If nothing happens, you can ask her to come to the palace to talk to me from time to time. I also want to meet Xia Xima."

What does your beloved wife look like?"

Xia Yuan said: "I say that my wife is a sweet wife, but in fact she is a weak and timid little girl. Feng Yi will be trembling with fear when she sees your empress. She will be so frightened that she can't even speak. It's better not to let her

Come and make me unhappy."

"How can I be unhappy about this? After hearing what you said, I want to see you even more."

Speaking of this, Empress Zhang smiled again and said, "But since Xia Xima said so, it will be difficult for me to force you any more."

"It's my birthday in just two months. Your lovely wife has a fifth-grade imperial edict. According to etiquette, she will also come to attend this Qianqiu Banquet. Since it is etiquette, I think Xia Xima will not refuse this time.

"

"If I don't refuse, I will let her come to congratulate the queen on her birthday."

After bleeding, Xia Yuan resigned without wasting much time, and soon left the gate of Kunning Palace. Queen Zhang seemed to feel that he had gone far, and turned to the side hall and said angrily: "

Just get out."

Then two people actually rolled out of the side hall of Kunning Palace, both wearing the bright red bullfighting uniforms given by the emperor. They looked to be in their twenties, and they were the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling.

There was still a soft smile on Empress Zhang's face, but after seeing these two idiots, she disappeared without a trace in an instant. She said with a straight face: "I have lost my face and helped you two get it."

Here comes the 20% bonus, you two brothers will get exactly 10% each, so don’t fight or snatch it, do you hear me?”

Zhang Heling was not satisfied and said: "Sister, I think the 10% dividend is too little."

Zhang Yanling, who was standing next to her, nodded, "Yes, I feel like it's not enough."

Empress Zhang couldn't help but frown when she heard this, her face turned ugly, "The 10% dividend is tens of thousands of taels of income per month, isn't it enough for you?"

Zhang Heling said: "Enough is enough, but who in the world would hate having too much money?"

"Sister, if you help us, you can give us another 10%, or we can each give you 15%."

"."

After hearing these words, Queen Zhang's face became even more ugly, and she cursed, "Why do I have two incompetent brothers like you in this palace? I have really spoiled you all over the years. You are all powerful and powerful.

You are weak, but you can't do anything. Don't blame your brother-in-law for scolding you for being like mud and unable to hold up the wall. You are not living up to your expectations, and you still think about those wonderful things all day long!"

"Go, send the money to Xia Xima's house tomorrow, and divide the dividends 10% each of you."

"ah?"

Halfway through the words, Zhang Heling exclaimed, "Sister, do we still have to pay for these 50,000 taels of silver ourselves?"

Zhang Yanling's face also turned bitter, "Yes, we can't let us pay for this money."

"If you don't pay for it yourself, who else do you want to pay for it?"

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Heling said immediately: "Let my brother-in-law help us dig out the money. There is money in my brother-in-law's money now."

Zhang Yanling immediately chimed in, "It's time to collect the summer taxes. By then, my brother-in-law will have so much money that he won't be able to spend all the money."

"."

Faced with these remarks, Queen Zhang's body trembled with anger, and she was angry and sad at the same time.

Finally, she suddenly stood up, opened the curtain and came out, raising her hands and fanning each one of them.

Two snaps, two slaps, crisp and sharp.
