Pick a Prince and Get Rich

Xianle building.

All the guests left. Chen Yuan was lying on the desk with his hands popping.

"Shopkeeper, I want to take a leave tomorrow and go back to my hometown. My mother is ill." A young man cleans up the tables and chairs and faces Chen Yuandao.

Chen Yuan looked up at him, did not speak, continue to dial the abacus.

The young man was in a hurry. "Shopkeeper Chen, my mother is really ill. I'll ask for one day and promise to come back the day after tomorrow." He knew that there was a shortage of manpower and he could not ask for leave. However, his mother was alone in her hometown, and there was no one to take care of her when she was sick. As a son, he could not ignore it.

Chen Yuan closed the account book, took out five Liang silver from the cupboard and handed it to him. He said, "take this silver. You won't have to come tomorrow."

"Shopkeeper, are you driving me away?" The boy turned white with fright.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan came out from behind the desk and patted him on the shoulder. "This silver is for you to take back to see a doctor, not your salary. You must give me back on time in the future."

The man smelled the words, and his eyes were full of tears. He held the five Liang silver and said with a smile, "I promise I'll be back in the future."

"Go ahead, have a rest early, and go back early tomorrow."

"Yes, shopkeeper." He wiped his eyes and turned back to his room. He was more and more grateful to Chen Yuan.

After he left, Chen Yuangang was about to turn around, but he saw Aunt Liu coming with something. He quickly asked, "why did you come here at this time? What did the princess want you to say?"

Seeing that Chen Yuan was so polite to herself, Aunt Liu was not at ease. She put the basket on the table, and Chen Yuan immediately called Liu Gen.

"Mother, why are you here?" Liu Gen was on the second floor, tidying up his seat. Just after he was busy, he heard Chen Yuan call him.

"The princess did ask me to bring it to you."

Chen Yuan reaches for her to sit down and says that Liu Gen immediately brings a pot of tea from the back hall and pours a cup for her.

"What's that?"

"The Emperor gave the wedding to the prince and the princess, and set the date on August 15. So the princess ordered that xianle building would be closed for one day on that day, and the salary of each of you would be doubled." Aunt Liu finished her speech and drank a cup of tea. She was really thirsty all the way.

With that, Aunt Liu looked at Chen Yuan, saw his deep face, and explained, "the princess is also seeing you work hard for xianle building, so --"

"I see. I'll let them know." Chen Yuan answered, and then he hesitated a little and asked, "princess, if you want us to get married, let's go."

Aunt Liu drank another cup of tea and said, "it's natural. The princess said, not only let you go, but also the Xiaoye family."

Mentioning Ning Xiaoye, Chen Yuan's eyes are a little deep, but he doesn't speak any more. He gets up and takes the account book from the desk and gives it to Aunt Liu. "This is the account book of this month. Please give it to the princess for me."

"You can go by yourself tomorrow." Aunt Liu looked at the thick pile of books, not that she didn't want to give them to the princess for him, but that since the princess moved out of xianle building, Chen Yuan never went to see the princess again.

"There are only a few people in the restaurant tomorrow. I'm afraid I can't go. I'll ask Aunt Liu to do it." Chen Yuan no longer talked to her, got up and left.

Looking at his back as he left, Aunt Liu shook her head, looked at Liu Gen sitting opposite and asked, "how are you doing recently? My mother brought some snacks you like to eat."

"The shopkeeper is very kind to us, so you don't have to worry about me."

"How can I not worry about you." Aunt Liu looked at him helplessly. "Now I'm in the princess's mansion with your sister. You're in the xianle building. It's better if we separate our family."
