The next day, Prince Ji's Mansion remained the same.

The courtyard was deserted, like a ghost house, but the lights in the study were still on.

Nothing has changed in Prince Ji's Mansion, but Xie Ding's fate has begun to turn upside down.

Cows are easy to buy. As long as you have money, you can buy any kind of cow in the huge imperial city.

In one day, Xie Dinglu bought hundreds of long-haired cattle one after another and raised them all in the back garden of the palace.

There are enough weeds in the garden anyway, so there is no need to buy separate fodder for the cattle.

Xie Ding finished his work when the sky was about to darken. Looking at the cow dung on the ground in the garden, the only concierge of Prince Ji's Mansion felt sad.

"It seems that the prince has suffered a lot outside and can't even take a bite of meat..."

I had just tidied up the back garden when someone called the door from the front.

Xie Ding hurriedly walked across the courtyard to open the door. When he passed the study, he looked at the figure on the window and did not dare to disturb King Ji.

Outside the door were two more trucks. They were from the Prince Consort's Mansion and were old acquaintances with Xie Ding.

"Boss Xie Meng is busy. Two more trucks of goods have arrived. Let's keep them for a few days."

The people at the Prince Consort's Mansion had to wait a bit long. Usually the door would open as soon as the door was called, but today they waited for a long time. After entering the hospital, the man looked around.

"Take care of the garden, the weeds are almost as tall as one person." Xie Ding said perfunctorily, and helped park the truck in the corner.

"There is nothing to clean up in this damn place. No matter how well it is packed, no one can see it. By the way, Mr. Xie Meng, please wait and open the door tomorrow. There is a large amount of goods to be placed here. In addition to the goods, there are also

There is a big red envelope from the Prince Consort, hehe, your brother is about to get rich."

"Okay, okay! I'll listen to the door. Don't worry."

Xie Ding watched the other party leave, closed the door, and hurriedly went to the study to report the news.

"A large batch of goods? Okay, let him release it, and you can take as much as you want."

After receiving the prince's instructions, Xie Ding felt relieved. After returning to the concierge, he couldn't fall asleep.

With no way to get out, the prince is planning to target the Prince Consort's Mansion...

Could it be that we want to use the goods as a means of extorting money?

Or do you want to take the opportunity to grab the prince-in-law's pigtails and let the prince-in-law become a hidden help?

Xie Ding is not stupid and has read a lot of books. He has been in the imperial city for many years and understands the pros and cons of human relationships. Based on his guess, the returning King Ji is likely to use the power of the Prince Consort's Mansion to fight for the throne.

After all, a prince who should have died many years ago has no power, no one to rely on, and even his status is unstable. With such no foundation, he naturally needs to find a powerful helper as his right-hand man.

Fortunately, he was not trampled to death by the other three princes during the battle for the throne.

Xie Ding's guess made some sense, but he was guessing about the ordinary King from the perspective of an ordinary person.

He, Xie Ding, is an ordinary person, but the returning King Ji is anything but ordinary.

The next day, six carts arrived from the Prince Consort's Mansion. In addition to the previous four carts, there were ten carts parked in Prince Ji's Mansion.

In addition to the truck, Xie Ding indeed received a big red envelope from the Prince Consort's Mansion.

There are enough twenty taels of silver.

In the study room of the Prince's Mansion, Xie Ding put twenty taels of silver on the corner of the table and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, the Prince Consort's Mansion is transporting a lot of goods this time. What should we do next?"

"When are they going to deliver the goods out of the city?" Yunji held a book in his hands and looked at it without raising his head.

"I asked clearly. This batch of goods will be shipped out of the city in three days." Xie Ding said hurriedly.

"I know, go prepare dinner and take the money." Yunji ordered.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! I'll go prepare it right away." Xie Ding collected the twenty taels of silver at the corner of the table and went to prepare dinner happily.

He is a smart man and knows that the prince does not care about such small money, but he cannot conceal it and refuse to repay it.

Dinner was soon ready, consisting of eight dishes, one soup and two jars of good wine.

Xie Ding ate with us every time. He couldn't tell whether the food or wine was good, but he was extremely proud of it every time.

That's the prince!

Besides Xie Ding, who is the porter of the palace who can eat at the same table as the prince?

This is a great honor.

"Where is the best troupe in the imperial city?"

During dinner, Yunji asked casually.

"In the east of the city, in Mawei Alley, there is a group of new opera troupes staying at the Liu Family Inn. They will perform a show in the inn every three days."

Xie Ding recalled: "It's been a month since then, and more and more people are going to listen. This troupe's reputation is getting bigger and bigger. I guess it won't be long before they have to change venues. Liu's Inn can't accommodate too many people."

There are so many guests. If Your Majesty wants to hear a play, tomorrow is when the troupe starts."

"Go and have a look tomorrow."

"Listening to the opera is actually quite interesting. When you are upset, you can immediately forget your worries by listening to it. Especially the little actress in the opera troupe has such a crisp singing voice. The prince will definitely like it after hearing it."

"I don't like listening to plays."

"Ah? Then the prince is going to..."

"I don't like to listen to operas, but I like to teach people to sing operas."

Xie Ding was confused when he heard this. He didn't expect King Ji's hobbies to be so weird. He didn't like to listen to operas but wanted to teach people to sing operas.

Is it possible that Ji Wang has been living in a folk opera troupe in recent years and finally became the leader?

Otherwise, who would have the time to teach people how to sing?

As Xie Ding considered an idler, Yunji went out early the next morning.

Starting from Prince Ji's Mansion, he first had breakfast at a roadside stall, then walked through the streets and alleys to Mawei Alley in the east of the city, where he found Liu's Inn.

The inn is not big and there are many people.

They came not to stay in the hotel, but to listen to the show. A lot of people had already gathered before the show started.

The front hall of the inn is equivalent to a tavern, and can accommodate more than ten tables of guests. Since the opera troupe moved in, the Liu Family Inn has been overcrowded every day.

From the beginning, you could listen to the show for half a day just by ordering two snacks. Later, you had to order a full table of wine and food to enter the venue. Until today, you have to ask for tickets to enter.

The tickets are not cheap, only one tael of silver per person, and you must order a table of food and wine, otherwise you won't be able to get in, let alone the opera.

Yunji arrived early enough and found a separate seat by the window.

In order to make more money, the inn added a lot of separate tables and chairs in the store to entertain single guests. Those who choose to sit alone do not need to eat wine and food, but they must drink tea, which is more expensive, costing two taels of silver for a pot.

Listening to a big show inside and outside is worth three taels of silver.

Yunji didn't care, but this kind of price was too expensive for ordinary people. Anyone who wasn't a wealthy family could afford three taels of silver just to listen to the show for a long time.

Even with such a high price, the seats were still packed, which shows that this troupe is indeed something special.

Not long after, the performance started on the stage. The singing of "Yay Ya Ya" was pretty good, but it was definitely not the finale. If you want to hear the real good show, you have to wait until the end.

While drinking tea, Yunji glanced at the large empty table in the middle.

The entire hall is full, but the best table is empty, which shows that someone has made a reservation in advance.

According to the price of the inn, the price for such a large table is definitely quite high.

Half an hour later, the door opened, and a group of people filed in. The leader of the group had a face like a crown of jade, a noble appearance, and an air of nobility.

As soon as this person entered the door, there were whispers around him.
Chapter completed!
