Chapter 37
Li Qingyan was taken aback.

What did he hear?
First of all, when did he say that the jewelry was fabulous, did he mean it?
Secondly, was the princess just asking about the price of these jewelry?

What is she going to do?Dowry?Is the palace already so poor?Or is it that the princess lives in the palace by selling dowry?
Could it be that Huo Chenxiao is so picky?

Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect, oh, I didn't expect that Huo Chenxiao was this kind of person? !

"Lord Li Fang?"

"Ah?" Li Qingyan came back to his senses, seeing Lan Qing looking at him, he was a little puzzled: "Princess, this is your dowry, what is the estimate for?"

Sure enough, I saw a little embarrassment on Lan Qing's face: "I want to sell these two boxes of jewelry."

He really guessed it right!
Oh my God!What kind of living environment forced a dignified princess to sell her dowry to survive?

It's just...he said just now that these two boxes of jewelry are good, but if he really paid a high price, if the princess really sells them at his price, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the palace?

Then only...

"Princess, Caomin thinks these two boxes of jewelry are very good, why don't you sell them to Caomin?" Li Qingyan suggested.

After finishing speaking, he felt that his proposal was really great. It not only solved the plight of the princess, but also saved the face of the palace. As for the money, he will ask Huo Chenxiao to get it later, it's perfect!

Li Qingyan's abacus was crackling, and he heard Lan Qing say: "I don't know how much Master Li paid?"

"Uh... How about 5000 taels?" Li Qingyan tentatively asked, anyway, he would ask Huo Chenxiao to come back later, and there was no pressure to quote the price.

"5000 taels of gold, that's fine too." Lan Qing looked reluctant.

"What?!" Li Qingyan cried out in horror.

The few people present were shocked, and Lan Qing was also shocked: "What's wrong? I just said that these two boxes of jewelry, the whole Lan Kingdom can't find a second set, 5000 taels of gold is already very cheap, right?" ?”

Seeing the sincere look on Wang Hao's face, Li Qingyan almost spit out blood, 5000 taels of silver, he can get it from Huo Chenxiao naturally, but 5000 taels of gold, this is his income for more than half a year!

But the words have already been spoken, and it's hard to take them back now. Before he could think of an excuse, Lan Qing made a final decision: "Just 5000 taels of gold. If Master Li thinks it's too expensive, I'll find someone else."

"No!" Li Qingyan immediately refused, how could he find someone else, what if he was exposed?Gritting her teeth, she said cruelly, "Okay, just 5000 taels of gold."

Seeing that Li Qingyan agreed, Lan Qing was very satisfied and couldn't wait: "When will Master Li give the money?"

"..."

Don't be so anxious, does he seem to be a bad guy?

"Princess, Cao Min doesn't carry much with you. After Cao Min goes back to get the money, how about sending it in the afternoon?"

"Okay, then I will wait for Master Li Fang?"

"Yes." Li Qingyan replied.

"It's getting late, Master Li should go back first." Lan Qing said looking at the sky outside.

At this time, Li Qingyan had time to pay attention to the outside, it was already time for lunch, so he didn't stay any longer, and bowed and left.

Seeing Li Qingyan leading people out of the yard, Putao said in disbelief, "Princess, will he really come here with 5000 taels of gold this afternoon?"

"Who knows?" Lan Qing said ambiguously.

Li Qingyan walked out of the palace, still feeling a little complicated.

Speaking of which, this princess is really pitiful. My father thought it was all treasures, but who knew it was a pile of tatters. Fortunately, I met him. If it were someone else, the princess and the entire palace would be changed tomorrow. It's a joke in the whole capital.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyan felt that it would not be a loss to buy the reputation of the entire palace for 5000 taels of gold.

Hehe, then he has been a great help, how can such a thing not be shared?
Then they went directly to Wu Tian's black bamboo clothes shop...

It was time for lunch, and no one came to deliver the meal, nor did anyone come to remind him to start the meal. Wang Mingsheng was a little dissatisfied. In such a huge palace, he didn't send anyone to serve him?What a gift!

Just at this time, there was a knock on the door. Wang Mingsheng was a little angry for coming so late, but he still asked politely, "Who is it?"

"Master, this old slave is here to deliver food." The people outside the door said respectfully.

"Come in." Wang Mingsheng straightened his clothes and made a sound after confirming that there was nothing wrong.

The person outside the door entered in response, carrying a large food box in his hand. Wang Mingsheng looked at the person who came. It was an elderly woman, wearing coarse linen clothes, and there were traces of oil stains on it. I guess it couldn't be washed clean. , the only decoration on the whole body is the wooden hairpin on the head, and the whole person looks gray.

Wang Mingsheng curled his lips inwardly, it turned out that she was a poor woman in the kitchen, and she was not as scrupulous about her words as before: "Let's put it down and go."

Hearing this, the woman did not leave immediately, but explained: "Master, the servants should wait on the side, it is also good to pour you wine."

After speaking, the dishes were also set up. Wang Mingsheng looked at the dishes on the table, five dishes and one soup, chicken, duck, fish and everything, plus a pot of wine.

This kind of treatment made Wang Mingsheng very satisfied, and he was no longer picky about this woman, so he nodded and agreed.

During the meal, Wang Mingsheng found that although the woman was dressed poorly, she was very good at looking at people, and she was very thoughtful in serving food, pouring wine, and gradually the last trace of grudges disappeared.

In the second half of the meal, Wang Mingsheng became a little drunk because he drank more wine, and asked, "I don't know the name of the nanny, where do you work?"

Hearing this, the woman replied respectfully: "Master, you are too polite. This old slave is called Xu Xiu, and he is the back kitchen doing chores."

Wang Mingsheng thought it was true, and then he seemed a little surprised: "Doing chores? The mother is so thoughtful, why can't she be reused in the palace?"

"The master is joking, the servants are stupid, so they are only worthy of doing chores." The mother said politely.

Even though he said that, he could clearly see the discontent in the woman's eyes, Wang Mingsheng thought for a while, and said: "Tomorrow, I will go to teach the prince, and if I get the chance someday, I will definitely show it in front of the princess." Say something nice for Mammy."

As soon as these words came out, the mother who said she didn't care just now burst into a smile, and served more diligently: "Thank you, master, if it is true, if there is anything in the future, the master can just tell the slaves."

Seeing this, Wang Mingsheng was very proud, and simply found an ally in the palace. Although these servants are usually inconspicuous, they are the most well-informed.

Thinking of this, Wang Mingsheng treated this woman more politely.

After going back and forth, the two of them not only quickly became familiar with each other during the meal, but also coaxed each other to be very happy and very satisfied...
