Uncle Nine

Chapter 144 The most stingy prince in history

She stared intently at the face close at hand, the light in her eyes was clean and clear.She just stared at him raptly, motionless, neither rebutting nor resisting.

"Why are you staring at Master like this?" He slightly parted his thin lips, and kissed the corner of her lips lightly.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu stretched out her hand for the first time, climbed up his back, and hugged him tenderly, "Master, do you believe in fate?"

He frowned slightly, rubbing the skin on her cheek with his fingertips, "I don't believe it."

"Why?" she asked.

Zhao Shuo smiled lightly, his peach blossom eyes glowed with a charming glaze color, and he just ran into her heart, "The word fate is just an excuse not to fight for it. If you only believe in fate but don't know how to fight for it, sooner or later there will be fate." No point."

Xia Yu nodded, "It's like the fate between Master Ye and Miss Ye Er. If they don't love each other, what's the point of fighting for it?"

He found that at this moment, she was rarely sad.

Is it because of Liang Yiru?Because it is impossible for him to go back to the state capital again?Never go back to the past?

Or is it because——for my own sake?
"Then you like—my lord is fighting for you?" He hooked his lips evilly, raised the corners of his eyes and brows slightly, but he condensed thousands of amorous feelings here, which made Xia Yu's heart suffocate.

"My master will have three wives and four concubines in the future, right?" Xia Yu pursed her lips.

He was startled.

"I don't like the capital." She stared at him.

Zhao Shuo kissed her forehead, "I don't like it either."

The warm kiss ran all the way down from the bridge of her nose, and finally landed on her soft lips.Capture her softness, kiss her lips and teeth, and touch the tip of her tongue.It was a beautiful taste that belonged to her, and it was also a faint tea fragrance that belonged to him.

What can't be lingered is each other's breath.

He would never forget that she was still injured, otherwise he would definitely want her at this moment.Even though she was very talented and recovered from her injury very quickly, he was still afraid that she would be injured again.

Greedily sucking the sweetness in her mouth, the gentle and lingering scene made her panting and fascinated.A pair of blurred eyes were half-opened, and his vision became more and more blurred.

He lowered his eyebrows and looked at the woman under him, smiled contentedly, and stretched out his hand to embrace her in his arms, "Girl, get well soon."

She smiled and slipped into his arms.

It's just that there will be another wave of unrest and another wave of the night banquet at the Marquis Mansion tomorrow.Such a lively scene, some people should be unable to hold back!Such a great opportunity, it would be a pity if we don't do something about it.

On the second day, Xia Yu began to wait, waiting for the sky to get dark soon, so that she could follow Zhao Shuo to Hou's Mansion to meet Shuying.When Shuying was injured, she felt guilty for not taking care of her for a day.

Zhao Shuo stood in the study room, looking at the floating clouds in the sky, his eyes narrowed.In the golden twilight, that delicate face, like a knife and ax carving, is peerless and independent.

"Master." Li Huan stepped forward, "A message came from the state government two days ago, saying that people will be brought here in these two days."

"Do you think this is good news or bad news?" Zhao Shuo asked.

Li Huan lowered his eyes, "For some people, it may be good news, but there are no absolutes in the world. There are advantages and disadvantages, and you can't escape between the two."

Zhao Shuo quietly turned to look at him, "The Hou Mansion must be very lively tonight."

"Some people, I'm afraid they won't be quiet." Li Huan sighed softly.

"If it's safe, it won't be like this." Zhao Shuo paused, "Where's Xin Fu?"

"I have to go back tonight, and I have to see Xia Yu again." Li Huan bowed.

Zhao Shuo nodded, "What is that girl doing?"

Li Huan smiled, "Walking around Grandpa's house, I don't know what to pick as a gift. But, she is used to men's clothes, and she can't even take out a hairpin, let alone other jewelry."

"I'll go and have a look." Zhao Shuo walked out with a flick of his sleeves.

Li Huan followed closely behind.

Xia Yu flicked the white porcelain vase on Zhao Shuo's case lightly with her fingers, "Shuying probably won't like this?" She scratched the back of her neck, then touched Zhao Shuo's pen holder, "This must be a good pen , but Shuying doesn’t need it either.”

She curled her lips helplessly. Since she was a child, what she disdains the most is those heavy decorations, so now she doesn't even have a decent piece of jewelry around her.

Sitting on the steps in front of the door with her chin resting on her hands, Xia Yu looked at Xunmei who was following beside her, "Xunmei, what do girls like? Do you want me to give you a gold ingot? It's too ugly. Ying likes pretty things."

Xunmei shook her head, "I don't know what girls like. Since childhood, Xunmei has practiced martial arts besides martial arts. I haven't had much contact with other things."

Xia Yu curled her lips, "The girl in Huamanlou, that one is dressed like Hua. But Shuying, she has never seen anything before, and the gift is too simple, she must not like it. She took an arrow because of me." , I can't send it too poorly."

What's more, this is the capital city and the place is unfamiliar, otherwise in Daizhou, she must know which family has what kind of treasure, and just go to pick up the sheep.But in this capital, apart from Prince Rui's Mansion, how could she dare to take advantage of it at will.

Xunmei backed away, Xia Yu was taken aback, but saw Zhao Shuo was already standing behind her.

"What's the matter, come with me." Zhao Shuo turned around and left.

Xia Yupidianpidian followed behind, "Master, where are you going?"

"Don't be greedy, just take one." Zhao Shuo turned a corner and went to the backyard of Yangxin Pavilion.There is a row of houses in the backyard, which can be regarded as Zhao Shuo's warehouse, guarded by strong guards outside.

Opening the door and entering, Xia Yu's eyes widened like copper bells instantly, and an egg could be stuffed in his mouth, "Master, Lord——" Xia Yu's nature of being a thief was revealed in an instant, and she smiled happily while holding the gold bar. Not from ear to ear.

"What grandpa?" Zhao Shuo's face darkened.

The beauty in Xia Yu's heart exploded into the sky like fireworks, and there was a bang in her mind that was so gorgeous.

"With so much money, don't call it your grandfather, you can call it your ancestor." Xia Yu lay on the jewelry box, refusing to get up. She had never seen so much gold and silver jewelry in her life.

Zhao Shuo rubbed the center of his brows, "Little bone, get up."

"Let me make out with these babies." Xia Yu held the jewelry box and refused to get up.

Zhao Shuo regretted it. If he had known this girl would be like this, he shouldn't have brought her here if he was killed.He thought, maybe it is necessary to strengthen the defense, let this girl dig into the vault, and he has to beat his head every day, thinking, how to move things out?

The next moment, Zhao Shuo directly picked up Xia Yu, "Pick one as a gift and go out immediately."

Xia Yu gritted her teeth, got up reluctantly, touched this, touched that, she really liked everything she saw.Finally, under Zhao Shuo's murderous gaze, Xia Yu picked out a jade hairpin.The best old pit with the best water head, clear and long sound, green body and no dust.And the ingenious peony carving on the top is so delicate.

Zhao Shuo's eyebrows raised slightly, this girl really knows how to buy, she chose such an expensive gift as Shuying, which shows that Shuying's status in her heart is indeed not low.I'm afraid this girl is even reluctant to give it away, so what should he say?

Carefully putting the jade hairpin back into the hairpin box, Xia Yu glanced at Zhao Shuo, "I want this."

"Do you know what the market price is?" Zhao Shuo asked.

Xia Yu nodded, "Definitely not less than 1 taels. I have never seen such a fine emerald jade."

"Let's go!" Zhao Shuo walked out with a flick of his sleeves.

Xia Yu dawdled, looking at those gold bars reluctantly, always felt that the gold bars were waving like her, and always felt that she couldn't move forward.Taking a deep breath, she began to carefully observe the door lock.

Outside, Zhao Shuobing's cold voice came, "There are people guarding here twelve hours a day, and there are hidden guards who are dormant at any time. Don't mess with the lock, even if you can open it, you won't be able to get in."

Hearing this, Xia Yu curled her lips and walked out extremely unwillingly.

The door behind her was closed heavily, Xia Yu felt her heart was bleeding.

Zhao Shuo glanced at the guard at the door, "She is not allowed to come within three feet, remember?"

The guards saluted in unison, "Remember."

Xia Yu jumped her feet anxiously, scolding her mother in her heart: Zhao Laojiu, you stingy stinger!When the prince treats you as picky, you are really No. 1 in the Great Yan Dynasty!
Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu really wanted to bite him if it wasn't for the hairpin in her hand.

Leaving the storehouse resentfully, Xia Yu was still full of golden and white thoughts.

So, that afternoon, she didn't do anything, she just rested her chin on her hands and thought about how she could get the money out of the hands of the stingy Zhao Laojiu.

I always feel that if I don't shed some blood for Zhao Laojiu, it is an intolerable thing in heaven.

But is Zhao Laojiu's money so easy to pick?In his own words, there is a price to pay for taking things from the master.

Luo Hua walked in and put the brand new clothes beside the bed, "My lord, the lord has ordered you to change your clothes and go out. The carriage is waiting outside the mansion, so hurry up and change!"

Xia Yu nodded, only to realize that it was getting dark, "You go out first, tell the prince, I will be right there."

Luo Hua nodded.

After changing her clothes and taking her small bag, she remembered the peace talisman Shuying gave her.The peace talisman is still there, but Shuying begged for her regardless of her injuries, and she must not lose it no matter what.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu quickly went out, and Zhao Shuo had already arrived at the door.

When getting into the car, Li Huan opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Zhao Shuo didn't say anything, and got into the car directly with Xia Yu.

Xia Yu didn't understand, what did Li Gou leg mean?Xia Yu didn't know until she was in front of the Hou's mansion that not only was Li Gouqi hesitating to speak, but even the people outside the Hou's mansion were all staring at her with strange eyes.

The generals of the Hou family, the generals of the ministers' families, all stared at Xia Yu strangely.The moment his sight touched Zhao Shuo, he quickly suppressed it.

Xia Yu looked back at Zhao Shuo in confusion, and suddenly remembered the rumors about Zhao Shuo's masculinity.The corner of his mouth twitched, this was a confirmation of his "special hobby" with Zhao Shuo.

Not only is Zhao Shuo so masculine, but now she is also so masculine?Not bad——Zhao Laojiu is so masculine!
There was a loud shout at the door, "Prince Rui is here!"

Everyone knelt down.

Xia Yu was taken aback for a moment, but Zhao Shuo took her hand, walked into Zhenyuanhou's mansion swaggeringly in front of everyone.Xia Yu's face was slightly hot, and she pursed her lips and whispered, "Master, this is not good, so many people are watching."

Zhao Shuo glanced at her in disgust, "Spineless thing!" He clenched her hand even more tightly, never letting go.

In this Hou's mansion, it was very lively, but after all, there were too many people.Xia Yu is too easy to get into trouble, if she is not tied to her, she still doesn't know what will happen.At least, outside the scope of his permission, she is not allowed to be easily used by others.

Xia Yu looked left and right, the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion was very big, it might not be so easy to find someone.

"Shu Ying is not here, so you don't need to look for it." How could Zhao Shuo not know her intentions.

"Where is that?" she asked quickly.

Zhao Shuo stopped in his tracks and looked at her coldly, which made Xia Yu's heart shudder.

What look is this?
She swallowed her saliva, and said with a smile, "My business is the most important thing, Shu Ying, I'm not in a hurry if the monk can escape the temple."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuo squinted at her and snorted coldly.

Damn girl, the ability to adapt to the wind is first-rate.After the meeting, I don't know where this elbow is going to go!The meeting of old lovers is really a beautiful picture.

Xie Huan and Xie Yun stepped forward quickly, "See Wang Ye."

"Now it's time to call Princess Loyalty, congratulations. Congratulations to Marquis Zhenyuan, congratulations to Princess Loyalty." Zhao Shuo restrained all his emotions, with a calm and kind face.

Xie Huan and Xie Yun returned the gift.

"My lord, please." Xie Huan led the way.

"The two of you have made great contributions to guarding the border, and this Marquis's Mansion is quite impressive." Zhao Shuo looked around, "Has the Emperor come yet?"

"The emperor is not feeling well, so he appointed Liang Shaofu to come to the banquet, and the empress dowager entrusted Dongfang girl to come and give gifts." Xie Huan replied, "It's just at the end of Su Guogong's mansion—"

"I didn't give the post, and I don't plan to have a banquet." Xie Yun still couldn't hide the coldness in his tone when talking about Dongfang Yue, "The Xie family and Dongfang Yue are at odds with each other. It’s enough to say it.”

Zhao Shuo sighed softly, "If he wants to come, he must come uninvited. It doesn't matter if there is a post or not."

Xie Huan nodded, "Now that he has been deprived of his title, he must have no face to see your lords."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuo smiled lightly, "Not sure."

Xie Huan was taken aback.

Zhao Shuo seemed to think of something, "By the way, where is Shuying? Is her injury better?"

Xia Yu's eyebrows suddenly raised.

Xie Yun's expression was shocked, and he didn't answer for a long time.
