The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 189 Borrowing 2

Yang Jing's eyes lit up and she asked with a smile: "Are you Brother Liang's sister? Yesterday I went back to my hometown to give away the holiday gifts, and I happened to see Brother Liang at my grandfather's place. Brother Liang said that he had a man who was sensible, well-behaved and good-natured. What a beautiful sister. She’s really well born.”

Gu Huayu was blessed again, "Sister Jing is a great award."

"Hello, Miss Gu, we meet again." Hua Ruiming was secretly happy when he saw Gu Huayu and stepped forward to say hello.

Gu Huayu bowed to Hua Rui Mingfu, straightened up, and when she saw Chen Xue, she pretended to be surprised and said, "Is Miss Chen here too?"

Hua Ruiming looked at Chen Xue, then at Gu Huayu, and asked in surprise: "Do you know each other?"

 Gu Huayu smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have asked Xueer about planting flowers and plants before."

Gu Huayu stepped forward and took Chen Xue's hand, and said enthusiastically: "I have wanted to come and say thank you for a long time, but I have been busy decorating the shop these days and have not taken the time. Today is a rare encounter, and Xueer wants to show her respect. Let’s have a meal together, okay?”

Gu Huayu turned around and held hands with Chen Xue, standing face to face with her back to everyone. He said in a low voice: "Nod in agreement. From now on, Mrs. Lu will not dare to cause trouble to you."

Chen Xue looked at Gu Huayu gratefully and nodded in agreement: "Okay!"

Gu Huayu excitedly took Chen Xue's hand and shook it twice, then turned to Shi Yamei and said, "Princess, Sister Jing, Miss Shi together?"

Shi Yamei was about to ask Gu Huayu to buy two more bottles of Wangyou. She nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together. Princess, second sister-in-law, are you coming together?"

Second Grandma Yang looked at Princess Jinglian and asked her what she meant.

Princess Jinglian responded readily: "Okay, let's come together."

Gu Huayu thanked her and said, "Thank you Princess and Sister Jing for the honor. Then let's go to the Huixian Tower opposite, okay?"

 Princess Jinglian nodded and said: "Okay."

Hua Da stood on the edge. When Princess Jinglian agreed, he turned around and told Qingyu to go to Huixian Tower to find an elegant courtyard.

 Gu Huayu glanced at Shi Yamei, who nodded knowingly and said to Hua Ruiming: "Master Hua, I accept your apology. Mrs. Lu damaged Miss Chen's belongings. Should she pay compensation?"

Hua Ruiming leaned forward and said, "I will pay you according to the price."

Shi Yamei said: "I don't understand flowers and plants. Miss Gu, can you help me find out how much these pots of flowers Miss Chen are worth?"

Gu Huayu was about to interrupt, but she didn't want Shi Yamei to give her the right to speak.

Gu Huayu took the words, pointed to the pot of flowers at Hua Ruiming's feet and said, "The pot next to Master Hua is the best spring orchid. The flower shape is simple and elegant, and it is a symbol of nobility, so people compare it to the gentleman among gentlemen. A pot of flowers like this would cost no less than one thousand taels of silver."

When Mrs. Lu heard that she wanted a thousand taels of silver, she blurted out: "A pot of broken flowers, a thousand taels of silver?"

Gu Huayu looked over with a cold look, "What? Mrs. Lu doubts my professionalism?

 Princess Jinglian is here. Should you ask the princess to ask the gardener in the palace to estimate the price?

 Let me tell you, this is still a conservative price. If this pot of spring orchid is placed in the hands of a knowledgeable person, it will not be less than three thousand taels of silver.

Mr. Hua, your wife is like this, you don’t want to compensate, right? "

Hua Ruiming leaned forward and said, "I'll apologize, Miss Gu, just say so."

After speaking, Hua Ruiming turned to Ms. Lu and said in a deep voice: "Shut up!"

Gu Huayu looked at Lu Ziqiu, then at Hua Ruiming, and then said: "The pot next to Miss Chen is a plain-crown lotus tripod, and its flowers are like lotus.

 It has the characteristics of one load, two elements and three oddities. The flowers are beautiful and difficult to maintain, so they are extremely precious.

 In Jiangnan, I saw a plain-headed tripod sold at auction for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

Master Hua will pay you ten thousand taels of silver for this potted flower, which is considered an advantage for you. "

"How much? Ten thousand taels? Why don't you go and grab it?" Lu Ziqiu said angrily.

Gu Huayu looked at Lu Ziqiu coldly, and said calmly: "Mrs. Lu, I told you that you should pay 10,000 taels of silver for this potted flower, which is an advantage to you.

Such a precious flower has been harmed by you, but you still have the nerve to yell and scream? Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it has no value. "

"You..." Lu Ziqiu's face was extremely ugly.

"What are you doing? You have nothing to do at ordinary times, so read more books!" Gu Huayu gave her a disgusted look.

After speaking, Gu Huayu ignored Lu Ziqiu and continued: "Among these pots of flowers, these two are the most precious. The others are very common flowers and plants, so forget it.

 So, Master Hua can pay eleven thousand taels of silver. Mr. Hua, are you not suspicious? "

Hua Ruiming nodded repeatedly and said, "No, no."

Gu Huayu said: "I wonder if Mr. Hua will pay the money now or later?"

Hua Ruiming scratched his head and said, "I didn't bring so much money when I went out..."

 Before Hua Ruiming could finish speaking, Gu Huayu interrupted, "It doesn't matter, we'll have dinner at Huixian Tower, Mr. Hua will just ask someone to bring the banknotes over."

Hua Ruiming nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Princess Jinglian couldn't help but take a deep look at Gu Huayu and said to Yang Jing beside her: "This little girl is not simple."

Yang Jing nodded, "Yes, her brother said that her knowledge is better than his."

 Princess Jinglian nodded.

Miss Shi San looked at Gu Huayu with admiration. She stepped forward and took Gu Huayu's hand. She did not forget to tell Hua Ruiming, "We are going to eat. Mr. Hua, remember to have someone send the money over."

Chen Xue was stunned on the spot, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.

Liu'er told her that the rice vat was empty and she wanted to sell a few pots of flowers in exchange for some firewood, rice, oil and salt...

Miss Gu’s few words actually made her earn eleven thousand taels of silver.

Seeing Chen Xue in a daze, Gu Huayu reached out and took her hand, "Xue'er, let's go, let's go eat."

 Chen Xue came back to her senses and looked down at the messy ground, "But, these..."

Hua Da said: "Miss Chen, go ahead, I will take care of things here."

Gu Huayu urged: "Let's go and let Uncle Hua take care of it."

Chen Xue looked at Hua Da in shock and murmured, "Is your surname Hua?"

Gu Huayu's heart sank, but she still had a smile on her face and said, "Uncle Hua's surname is Hua, what's wrong?"

Chen Xue shook her head, "Nothing? His voice is like one of my uncles."

“Oh. Let’s go.” Gu Huayu said.

Hua Ruiming watched a group of people enter the Huixian Building, looked away, and said lightly: "Let's go back."

Lu Ziqiu said dissatisfiedly: "She said she wanted eleven thousand taels of silver, so you gave it to her?"

Hua Ruiming stopped, looked at Lu Ziqiu and asked, "What else?"

Lu Ziqiu said: "She is obviously trying to extort money."

Hua Ruiming pointed at the messy ground and said, "If you don't kick it, will she have a chance to blackmail me? Until now, you haven't realized your problem? It's really unreasonable."

Not to be outdone, Lu Ziqiu replied: "What's wrong with me? That prostitute should be scolded."

Hua Ruiming's face darkened, "It seems that Princess Jinglian's slaps were gentle.

From now on, you need to think twice when you speak or act, and think about your identity. It will not only bring shame to you, but also bring disaster to the British government and the British government. "

Lu Ziqiu's face turned blue and white, and he couldn't say a word.

Hua Ruiming got on his horse and said, "What happened today will soon reach the ears of the Duke of Guo. If you don't want to be punished by the Duke of Guo, just stay in the Hua Mansion and don't do anything else."

 Go back by yourself, I have something to do, so I’ll go ahead. "

Lu Ziqiu stamped his feet and said, "Where are you going? Aren't you going to take me back home?"

Hua Ruiming replied without looking back: "I have something to do."

Lu Ziqiu was so angry that he cursed, "You bastard..."

Lu Ziqiu finally held back what he said, stamped his feet, and got into the car while wiping tears.

Shi Yamei stood by the window, watching Lu Ziqiu's carriage leave, and said with a smile: "It's so refreshing today."

Princess Jinglian said: "I haven't seen you smile for a few days. Brother and sister, please take a look. Third sister looks so beautiful when she smiles. Please smile more from now on."

Yang Jing took over with a smile, "Just smile more in the future. If you have any unhappy things, don't keep it in your heart. Tell us and we will give you some advice."

Shi Yamei put away her smile and sat next to Gu Huayu.

Princess Jinglian put down her teacup, “I just asked you to smile more, why are you worried again?

Three sisters, what happened to you? Feeling depressed all day? "

Shi Yamei picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of tea, then said, "Nothing."

"What about the liar? Look at your face. It's full of worries, but you still say it's nothing." Princess Jinglian said.

Yang Jing leaned toward Shi Yamei and asked in a low voice: "Third sister, tell the truth to the second sister-in-law, is it because of Lu Liu?"

Shi Yamei shook his head.

Yang Jing stared at Shi Yamei and asked seriously: "Really? Then why were you so distracted all day long after Lu Liu returned to Beijing? Huh?"

Princess Jinglian came over gossiping, "Third sister, is it because of Lu Liu that you tell your sisters-in-law the truth? If you really like Lu Liu, let's ask Grand Scholar Yang to come forward and finalize this marriage. How about it?"

Yang Jing took the words and said, "Third sister, if you really like Lu Liu, I will beg my grandfather soon."

Shi Yamei shook his head, "Two sisters-in-law, I told you, it's really not because of Mr. Liu."

 Princess Jinglian sat back and asked, "Really?"

 Shi Yamei nodded and said, "That's not true. I saw Lu Liu a few days ago, and I think I'm a little afraid of him."

"Afraid of him?" Yang Jing asked in surprise, "When were you afraid of him? If you were afraid of him, you still chased him to Hongcheng?"

Shi Yamei blushed and said, "That's because I'm young and ignorant. Don't mention this, okay?"

Yang Jing looked at Shi Yamei, "Third sister, tell your sister-in-law, did Lu Liu reject you? Did he make you sad?"

Princess Jinglian came over again, "She must have been rejected by Lu Liu, so I'm embarrassed to say it. Third sister, don't be sad. I will go back to the palace tomorrow to see my father and ask him to grant you a marriage."

Shi Yamei looked up at Princess Jinglian and hurriedly stopped her: "Princess, sister-in-law, please don't mess around. The Sixth Master has not rejected me..."

"That's a good thing. Since Lu Liu didn't reject you, let him come to propose marriage as soon as possible. You are both old and have already reached the age of marriage." Princess Jinglian didn't wait for Shi Yamei to finish speaking and took over.

Shi Yamei was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, so she raised her voice and said, "My good sister-in-law, the one I like is not Mr. Liu, but another person."

Princess Jinglian and Yang Jing looked up at Shi Yamei in surprise and asked in unison: "Another person? Who?"

Shi Yamei drooped his shoulders and said dullly: "I won't say anything anymore."

"Why don't you tell me? If you don't tell me clearly, how can I discuss marriage for you?" Yang Jing asked.

Shi Yamei smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "His family has already discussed marriage for him."

 Princess Jinglian and Yang Jing looked at each other, it turned out to be like this.

 Princess Jinglian asked: "Who is this person?"

Shi Yamei shook his head, "He has already agreed to get married, it doesn't matter who he is, so don't worry about me.

 I was sad for a few days, and after a few days, I forgot about him. Then, can I ask my sisters-in-law to discuss marriage for me? "

Yang Jing asked suspiciously: "How long can I really forget about him?"

Shi Yamei nodded, "Of course, I am someone who can afford to take it up and let it go."

Princess Jinglian nodded, "I believe you for once. Miss Gu prepared Wangyou and Nuanyang?" Princess Jinglian looked at Gu Huayu.

Gu Huayu leaned forward and said, "Back to princess, yes."

Princess Jinglian asked: "Where is Miss Gu's shop?"

“On Taoyuan Street, the shop is still under renovation and will not be officially opened until the end of the month.” Gu Huayu replied.

“Opening only at the end of the month? Can Ms. Gu order fragrant dew here?” Princess Jinglian asked.

Gu Huayu responded with a smile: "Of course, the princess can use it herself or give it to someone else? What is this person's preference? The princess can tell her the request."

Princess Jinglian said: "In ten days' time, it will be my mother's birthday, and I would like to give her a bottle of fragrant dew."

Gu Huayu nodded and asked, "What are your preferences, Madam Li Fei? What kind of fragrance do you like?"

Princess Jinglian thought for a while and said, "The concubine has a quiet temperament and likes elegant things, especially the fragrance of orchids."

Gu Huayu responded with a smile: "Okay, the daughter of the people understands. Let's go back and prepare some fragrant dew for the princess to choose. Today is the third day of the lunar month. On the eighth day of the lunar month, the daughter of the people will send the fragrant dew to the princess's house, okay?"

Princess Jinglian smiled and thanked her, "Thank you!"

 After saying that, Princess Jinglian looked at Chen Xue, "Does Miss Chen still have a plain crown and a lotus cauldron in her house?"

 Chen Xue leaned forward and said, "Go back to the princess, there is another basin."

Princess Jinglian looked at Chen Xue with joy and asked: "Miss Chen, can you sell me the plain-crown lotus tripod? My mother-in-law loves orchids... I hope Miss Chen can do it."

 Chen Xue was very reluctant to give up, thinking that everyone would save her from the siege, so she nodded and said: "The princess's filial piety moved the people's daughter, and the people's daughter gave the flowers to the princess, wishing the empress endless happiness and longevity."

Princess Jinglian smiled and said, "I would be very grateful if you could part with me and sell it to me. How can I let you give it away?"

 You will suffer a little loss if you take care of the price mentioned by the lady. Sell it to this princess for ten thousand taels of silver. "

 Chen Xue looked at Gu Huayu at a loss.

Gu Huayu said with a smile: "Princess, you can accept it."

 Chen Xue bowed and thanked her, "Thank you Princess Jinglian."

There was a knock at the door. Everyone looked over and Gu Huayu raised her voice and said, "Come in."

Hua Da came in and said, "Miss, Mr. Hua's servant has brought the banknotes."

Gu Huayu nodded and said, "Let him come in."

Hua Da exited, and after a while, An Xu opened the door and came in. He bowed behind everyone and presented the banknotes, "Miss Xueer, count the coins. There are eleven thousand taels of silver in total."

Liuer came over and took the banknote and handed it to Chen Xue.

Chen Xue lowered his head and turned over it, nodded and said: "Thank you very much, it's just right."

An Xu bowed and said, "My father-in-law said that I am very sorry for what happened today.

Your consumption here will be recorded in my father's account. I will apologize to you and please accept it. "
