Chapter 180 Self-love, self-inflicted humiliation

The Seventh Prince exclaimed, "Miss Jiang is here for dinner at the restaurant?"

"I heard that this restaurant has new dishes, so I brought the maid over to taste them." Jiang Huairou smiled back.

After the Seventh Prince heard this, he immediately ordered the staff around him, "Order, tell the staff below to entertain Miss Jiang well, and don't be negligent."

The guy answered "yes" again and again.

After Jiang Huairou took a photo with the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Prince went to the backyard to check the accounts.

Jiang Huairou went to the guest room and ordered a table of dishes with Xiao Er.

Seeing that Jiang Huairou only had two masters and servants, Xiao Er couldn't help asking: "Miss Jiang, you order so many dishes, will you be unable to finish them all?"

The servant girl replied on behalf of Jiang Huairou: "It's okay, I heard that there are a lot of new dishes in the store, so my ladies will order some fresh dishes."

It's just that I was thinking in my heart that the young lady had to get rid of the wealthy son-in-law, the Seventh Prince, as soon as possible, otherwise the money given by the madam would not be enough to spend.

Even though a table of dishes cost a lot of money, Jiang Huairou didn't feel bad at all.

The Seventh Prince is as rich as a country, as long as she becomes the Seventh Prince's woman, she will have money in the future!

After a stick of incense, the waiters in the restaurant served the dishes one after another.

Jiang Huairou stared at the dishes on the table, and said in surprise, "Man, I don't seem to have ordered this dish of spicy beef."

Guy: "This dish of spicy beef is a new dish in our restaurant, and the Seventh Prince specially asked the little one to bring it to the girl."

Jiang Huairou immediately replied flattered: "Please thank the prince for me. In addition, if possible, please tell the Seventh Prince that I have something to give to him."

The guy responded with a smile and went out.

In order to maintain her figure, Jiang Huairou didn't eat much of the meals on the table.

Anyway, those dishes are used to support the scene, not for eating.

The maid beside Jiang Huairou also only tasted a little, but didn't eat anymore.

The master and servant waited in the guest room for half an hour, but they did not wait for the Seventh Prince.

Maid: "Miss, do you think the Seventh Prince will not come? Or has he already left the restaurant?"

"Let's wait and see." The Seventh Prince must come, she is still waiting to give him a gift!

After the master and servant waited for another stick of incense, the Seventh Prince was a long time coming.

As soon as he entered the room, the Seventh Prince had a merchant's usual smile on his face, "This king is checking the accounts, and I kept Miss Jiang waiting for a long time."

"It was I who disturbed the prince." Jiang Huairou smiled back.

The seventh prince found a chair in the room and sat down, "I heard from the guy in the store that Miss Jiang has something to give to me?"

Jiang Huairou nodded, and said "Yes" shyly, "Every time the prince gives me something, I also want to send some small things back to the prince."

Then, she gave a glance to the maid behind her, and the maid handed a delicate little square box to the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince didn't answer, but asked: "What's in here?"

Jiang Huairou lowered her head, and said in a soft mosquito voice, "Your Highness will know when you open it."

Only then did the Seventh Prince take the box, and when he opened it, he saw a water-blue silk handkerchief inside.

"Bang!"

The next moment, the box in Seventh Prince's hand fell to the ground.

Hearing this sound, Jiang Huairou was frightened, "Does the lord not like the color of the handkerchief, or the pattern embroidered on the handkerchief?"

The Seventh Prince put away his usual smile, and his expression became serious, "It's fine, why did Miss Jiang give this king a handkerchief?"

It was the first time for Jiang Huairou to see the Seventh Prince so serious, and he was a little scared for a while, "As I said just now, the prince gave me something every time, and I felt very sorry, so I personally embroidered a handkerchief and gave it back to the prince."

"Oh, return the gift?" The Seventh Prince pointed to the handkerchief on the ground, "Ms. Jiang must not know what it means when a girl sends a handkerchief to a man?"

In the Eastern Liang Kingdom, if a woman gave a handkerchief to a man, it was an expression of affection, and she only gave it to her lover!

If the man doesn't accept it, it means he has no interest in the woman.

Once the man accepts the handkerchief, the relationship between the two is considered to be committed.

Jiang Huairou raised his head and looked at the Seventh Prince in disbelief, "Don't you know what I mean?"

Obviously he was the one who took the initiative to give her things every time, but now he asked such words to humiliate her!

Seventh Prince: "Miss Jiang, I think... Is there any misunderstanding between you and this prince?"

"Misunderstanding?" Jiang Huairou said sadly: "I met you at your rouge shop, and you gave me a small box of rouge."

"I'll go to your cloth shop to buy cloth, and you will also send me a piece of fine silk."

"Now I'm having dinner in your restaurant, and you sent me another plate of beef. Are these all misunderstandings?"

"Miss Jiang, these are really all misunderstandings." The Seventh Prince explained: "I give you something out of caring for regular customers. Even if you are a man, as long as you often take care of the shop under my name, I will give you something." I will also give you some gadgets, this is called keeping regular customers!"

Hearing this, Jiang Huairou looked at the Seventh Prince in embarrassment and gritted his teeth.

The Seventh Prince's words showed that he had no interest in her. After all, all of this was her wishful thinking, self-indulgent, self-inflicted humiliation!
After everything was explained clearly, the Seventh Prince stood up and said, "Okay, Miss Jiang, since we have talked, it is better to keep a distance when we meet in the future. In addition, this king advises you that women should respect and love themselves." .”

In his opinion, Jiang Huairou's act of giving a handkerchief to the man on his own initiative is a frivolous expression of lack of self-respect and self-love!

He doesn't know what other men like, anyway, he doesn't like this kind of overactive woman.

Nothing feminine at all!
After the Seventh Prince left, Jiang Huairou closed the door and cried loudly on the table in the guest room.

The maid Hongzhan comforted her, "Don't be sad, my lord, you are so good, you will definitely meet a good man who likes you."

Jiang Huairou: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Hongzhan: "Your servant has heard that tonight, a poetry society in central Beijing will have a poetry lantern show. All talented men and women in Beijing will participate in this poetry meeting."

"It is said that in the past poetry associations have brought about many good marriages. Would you like to try it? Even to relax your mind."

Jiang Huairou desperately wants to find a good husband in Beijing, so that he can gain a firm foothold in Beijing.

As soon as she heard that there was a poetry lantern show at night, she immediately stopped crying, lest her eyes would swell from crying and it would not look good at night.

The master and servant stayed in the restaurant until evening, and after dinner, they went straight to the Poetry Club.

When we got there, there were already many men and women present.

Jiang Huairou paid the money and joined the poetry club.

The Poetry Lantern Festival is to write the poems you want to write on the lanterns, and the people in the poetry club will hang the lanterns in the poetry club.

If there is a predestined person who appreciates poetry, I will contact the poetry club and get to know the person who wrote the poem.

After Jiang Huairou took a lamp, he first wrote a sentence on the lamp, "Seeing each other is like not seeing each other, how can there be love without love".

Then, another poem was written on the lamp.

"Luohua intentionally follows the flowing water, flowing water loves falling flowers mercilessly, good poem, good poem" Just as Jiang Huairou wrote another poem, a man read her poem out by the side.

She was in a bad mood today, and turned her head to look at the man with displeasure.

With just one glance, she was stunned.

Standing beside her was a handsome man dressed in brocade clothes.

The man had a pair of peach blossom eyes, waved a fan with his right hand gracefully, and was looking at her with a smile.

Seeing that the other party is well dressed and has an extraordinary bearing, he must be not an ordinary person, Jiang Huairou smiled politely at the other party.

Then, she handed over the lantern in her hand to the people of the Poetry Club and asked him to help hang the lantern up.

It just so happened that the handsome man was also writing a poem on the sidelines, and he read while writing, "Guan Guan Jujiu, in the continent of the river, a fair lady, a gentleman is so good."

Jiang Huairou only glanced sideways at the man, and then took her maid, Hongzhan, to the poetry lantern festival.

Orange-red lanterns are hung on both sides of the poetry club, and various poems are written on the lanterns.

On the roads on both sides, there are vendors selling various things on the ground.

Jiang Huairou mainly visits poetry lanterns and appreciates poems.

If you come across something you like, stop occasionally to buy some gadgets.

Wandering around, I heard someone talking next to my ear: "I see that the girl looks sad, and she wrote such a sad love poem, but she has a lover, but she is hurt by the other party?"

Jiang Huairou looked back, and it was the handsome young man who was talking to him, followed by two or three servants and guards.

If it were someone else, Hong Zhan would call him a disciple.

But she saw that the other party was dressed in brocade clothes, and there were many servants and guards following him, so she didn't say anything.

What if the other party is a prince or nobleman, she can't afford to offend her.

The key point is that this guy is much better-looking than the Seventh Prince, so it's not a bad idea for the young lady to get to know him better.

Jiang Huairou shook his head and denied, "The little girl has just arrived in the capital, why did she come to fall in love with her, please don't talk nonsense, my lord."

"I was the one to be rude." The handsome young man said with a smile, "Since the girl has no crush, why did you write two poems that hurt feelings?"

"." Jiang Huairou pursed her lips and thought for a while before replying, "It's a close friend of mine who was hurt by a heartless man a while ago. I felt sorry for her, so I felt that way and wrote such a poem."

The handsome son: "So that's how it is."

In this way, the two chatted while visiting the poetry meeting, and it took an hour to stroll around.

An hour later, after the poetry meeting was over, Jiang Huairou said softly, "It's getting late, and the servant girl and I are going back."

"It's very late at night, the girl is so beautiful, but she only has a servant girl with her, so I'm afraid it's not safe." The handsome man invited, "Why don't you take the carriage with me, and I'll take the girl back."

Jiang Huairou wanted to refuse, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the jade pendant on the man's waist.

It was a piece of suet jade with a warm texture, engraved with complicated python patterns
