The Princess Seeks Money: The Empress of the Unparalleled Kingdom

Chapter 33 Cucumber and Chrysanthemum

"The thing is like this, the shopkeeper's guess is right, although I am the number one of Baihualou because of this face, but now the situation is getting more and more complicated, and the level of newcomers is not poor, I am afraid that I will not be able to maintain this number one position for long! "Speaking like this, Yingxue's tears began to flow down, "But I was traveling in the countryside that day, and I had no intention of taking in a drunk, who would have thought that the drunk would thank me when he woke up, knowing that I was the number one, so he gave me the mansion, May I have a shelter in the future, and promised to complete the project for me, only then did I know that he turned out to be a master painter."

"Then he ran away before finishing it?" What kind of messed up story, maybe he didn't want to give it away, Jiang Duruo curled his lips in disapproval, "In my opinion, you'd better wait for him to come back and talk about it."

"He won't come back... He said that he had no fixed place to live, and he was afraid that he would not have a chance to meet again after that day, so he gave me the silver and let me come to this Yubifang." Pitiful.

It's a pity that Jiang Duruo is not a kind person at all, she frowned and asked, "Tell me about the characteristics of that person, maybe he is an acquaintance, I can help you find him."

"Characteristics...he likes to wear red robes and green coats, likes to drink, and has a white jade jug on his waist. He..."

"Guan Cangyue!!!" Jiang Duruo slapped the table and stood up, grabbed Yingxue who was stunned across the table, and began to shake, "He knows me? What did he say about me? When did he leave? How long has he been living in the capital?" ?”

"Shopkeeper." Yingxue looked at Jiang Duruo in horror and finally calmed down, "I don't know, although I have been with him for a long time, but he is really perverse and doesn't play cards according to common sense, but I know he is a good person, the world's most A good painter..."

"All right, all right, no matter how many, tell me where the mansion is? Take me there now." Jiang Duruo's mouth twitched, making Baihualou, a woman with countless men, look like a fan girl. The sea is quite capable!After Jiang Duruo sighed twice, he was completely intoxicated in the joy of getting the new news from Guan Cangyue.

That Yingxue was dragged by her all the way in a daze, and she didn't realize it until she left the shop door, "Shopkeeper, it's almost time now, if you promise to help me, we'll go tomorrow."

"Help, help, we must!" At this moment, Jiang Duruo had no reason to refuse, so he nodded hurriedly.

Seeing this, Yingxue no longer had the sad expression just now, and smiled happily, "If that's the case, then I would like to thank the shopkeeper."

"It's easy to say, easy to say. Oh, by the way, according to your description, this mansion is in the suburbs, and it must occupy a lot of land. Then I will count it as a high-end mansion. You pay a deposit first, and I will let you go to see it tomorrow. Do calculations." As he spoke, the golden abacus in his hand was crackling, and the figures burst out in Yingxue's shocked eyes, "Well, the deposit is 360 nine taels of silver first, and for the sake of acquaintances, I will give you a change. A total of 360 taels."

"Ah?" Yingxue was already dumbfounded, and it was probably the first time she saw someone change so quickly.

"Are you going to give it now or I'll let someone pick it up tomorrow!" In other words, Jiang Duruo will definitely change quickly!Guan Cangyue has left, so the silver tael must be the most important thing right now, so under Jiang Duruo's expectant eyes, Yingxue sneered a few times, "I'll bring it tomorrow! I won't bother the shopkeeper."

"That's good, it's getting late, let's go back earlier!" As he said that, he covered his mouth and yawned indistinctly, waved his hands at Yingxue, and made a gesture to walk into the store.

Yingxue turned around and got into the carriage with a dazed expression. After witnessing the whole process, Sanpang and Shunzi could only stroke their foreheads silently, "Very good, this really is a boss."

"Chick..." A familiar chuckle in the dark night successfully stopped all three of them from moving. Jiang Duruo turned his head and saw the chuckling Shang Huaisu in front of the carriage in the dark night.

Damn it, it must have been too serious when I talked to Yingxue just now, that's why I didn't notice the carriage parked all the time, and Jiang Duruo's face sank in an instant after the sound came back to his senses, and he immediately closed the door and roared "Three Fatty , Shunzi, come in!"

The same thing, how could Shang Huaisu allow two situations to happen, Jiang Duruo pulled the door and before it could be closed, she felt a gust of wind blowing and then a pair of claws appeared on her waist, and she was caught in a whirl Shang Huaisu embraced upstairs in Yubifang, and Shang Huaisu's clear voice rang softly in his ears, "Is Jian'er in a bad mood today?"

"Damn girl, let me go! I don't feel better when I see you!" Jiang Duruo being punched and kicked by force is almost like tickling to Shang Huaisu, but Jiang Duruo can only rely on it like this Roar to vent their dissatisfaction.

With warm and soft jade in his arms, how could Shang Huaisu listen to her, and said with a good-tempered smile, "Zang'er really has a deep affection for this king, and this appearance really can't be bumped by outsiders."

"Damn girl, don't talk nonsense to me. I'm repenting. I won't go to any Hua country if I'm killed. I will stay in Yu country! I won't go anywhere!" Jiang Duruo didn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, so The feeling of nestling in his arms inexplicably made her feel at ease, but at the same time made her afraid.

Shang Huaisu tightened her arms around her, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you and I agree before that you would go with me to Huaguo to help me ascend the throne, and I would find Guan Cangyue for you, why are you changing your mind now? There may be a reason."

"I'll just find Guan Cangyue by myself, and the third prince just take care of his peach blossoms." Jiang Duruo didn't want to explain anything to him, but unexpectedly, her casual sentence successfully made Shang Huaisu laugh again.

Deep laughter rippling from the chest cavity, filled the whole body, Jiang Duruo looked puzzled, when she was too late to respond to the question, she heard Shang Huaisu whispering in her ear with a smile, "It turns out that you can't understand!" I'm jealous."

"Jealous you big-headed ghost! Damn girl, stop talking nonsense and let me go!" Jiang Duruo is really about to vomit blood, and this Shang Huaisu is clearly her nemesis. gas.

Jiang Duruo was trembling all over with anger and said bluntly, "Damn mother, you are an apprentice, don't fall into the hands of my mother in the future, or a cucumber will explode your chrysanthemum."

"Chrysanthemum?" Seeing that Jiang Duruo was really angry, Shang Huaisu let go of him, but judging from Jiang Duruo's expression, the chrysanthemum she was talking about was definitely not the chrysanthemum he thought of.

Shang Huaisu frowned slightly, and asked in confusion, "Is there any connection between cucumbers and chrysanthemums?"

related?The relationship is great!Jiang Duruo didn't expect that she would say everything in a hurry. She knew that such rotten words were all because her college roommate was a complete rotten girl.

But now she looked at Shang Huaisu's suspicious gaze, and raised her eyebrows in a good mood, "Chrysanthemums and cucumbers are a perfect match, there is no reason, if you like it, you can find someone to try it for you some other day."

"No need, it's enough for me." Although Shang Huaisu didn't understand what it meant, but from Jiang Duruo's expression, he could see that it was not a good thing. This casually said it really hit the point, Jiang Duruo Du Ruo's expression turned cold and he roared angrily, "Get out!"

Shang Huaisu was taken aback for a moment, but the smile on his face became more and more warm, "Who is this that made us angry?"

"Shang Huaisu, you're not finished, are you? Look at the sky outside, it's midnight now, although you and I have a marriage contract, it's not suitable after all, I think you should go back first !" Jiang Duruo's eyes changed, and his way of speaking also changed suddenly.

This is not the time to talk at all, not to mention that Jiang Duruo is really sleepy at the moment, and he is not in the mood to continue pestering.

Shang Huaisu's eyes did not change, the light in his eyes shone like a flickering light, and his clear and deep voice rang out as he said softly, "Jian'er, my king's heart for you is serious, I hope You can understand that even though the situation is settled now, this king still hopes that you will marry me willingly."

"I'm tired today, so I don't want to mention this matter. I'll find a time to talk to you in detail some other day. It's getting late today, so go back first!" Jiang Duruo raised his brows. No, but he didn't want to answer, he left the words in a hurry and didn't care about Shang Huaisu's expression, so he turned and went downstairs to the resting place she set up in the inner room behind Yuxifang.

In fact, Jiang Duruo's current mood is almost entangled. After all, her current situation is really not suitable for leaving Yuguo, but this reason is hard to find, so all she can do is keep pretending to be dead. , keep procrastinating.

And God obviously didn't give her much time to think about it. She had just woken up early the next morning when she received a message from the palace that her father and lord wanted to announce her entry into the palace.

The meeting place was still in the imperial study, but only the emperor and elder sister Zhong Lishu were there, and the atmosphere was unusually serious.
"I've seen the father and elder sister, please greet the two of you." Jiang Duruo's mind was full of thoughts, but his expression remained unchanged.

In this way, she also guessed from the expressions of the emperor and elder sister. This time, it was nothing more than the matter of her leaving in public yesterday, and Jiang Duruo's thoughts turned.

No, before he could come up with a countermeasure, he heard the eldest sister Zhong Lishu speak first, straight to the point, "Fifth sister, what's your explanation for what happened yesterday? Didn't you agree earlier, why did you suddenly go back on what you said?"

"It was true that Qi Ru was impulsive about what happened yesterday, but elder sister, Qi Ru has no regrets. Elder sister knows that the third prince is a hypocrite at all. People." Jiang Duruo rolled his eyes, thought about it, looked up again and was already in tears, with a look of serious grievances, and he couldn't wait to strike the iron before he finished speaking: "Qi Ru always remembers the duty of the princess, but I also ask father, eldest sister to feel sorry for Qi Ru, and think about the overall situation. The third prince is such a hypocritical villain. In the future, when the two countries marry, there is no guarantee that he will violate the covenant. Father, please think twice..."

"It turns out that Fang'er misunderstood me so much, I feel really uncomfortable." Before Jiang Duruo finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a male voice from behind. Damn, why are you here, you bitch?"

Then he raised his head to look at the two ordinary-looking people above him, and Jiang Duruo finally realized that it was not only her but also Shang Huaisu who were summoned by Ganqing today. Meaning.
