Chapter 190 Situation
Princess Jinglian smiled and responded: "Master Hua is a sensible person. Go back and tell Master Hua that we will accept his apology."
An Xu was worried about the invitation because he was afraid of being rejected and would not be able to explain it to Hua Ruiming when he returned home. Now that he saw Princess Jinglian accepting the invitation happily, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He leaned forward and said, "I won't disturb you guys anymore. I wish you all have a good time."
After An Xu retreated, Shi Yamei asked, "Princess sister-in-law, why do you accept his love? We don't lack this little money."
Princess Jinglian looked at Shi Yamei and said, "Isn't it good that some people are rushing to pay the money? We have no enmity with the money."
“You can eat people with a soft mouth, but take people with short hands.” Shi Yamei replied.
Thinking of Hua Ruiming's fascinated eyes, she felt uneasy in her heart.
Yang Jing smiled, glanced at Shi Yamei, and said, "When you go out today and meet someone who is stupid and has a lot of money, you can accept it with peace of mind, and you won't feel uncomfortable."
Gu Huayu looked at Princess Jinglian and then at Yang Jing, secretly thinking, they are all human beings.
An Xu came out of Huixian Tower and returned to Baofeng Bank.
Hua Ruiming saw him coming back and asked eagerly: "How is it? Gu Huayu agrees?"
An Xu nodded, "Yes."
Hua Ruiming excitedly punched his left fist into his right hand, "Okay! Well done."
An Xu lowered his head and said, "Sir, it was not Miss Gu who should do it, but Princess Jinglian who should do it."
After speaking, An Xu recounted the conversation.
After hearing this, Hua Ruiming asked, "What's Gu Huayu's expression?"
An Xu replied: "Miss Gu is always smiling."
Hua Ruiming thought about Gu Huayu's smiling face and felt very good. He nodded with satisfaction, "I know, let people keep an eye on me. I want Gu Huayu's whereabouts. By the way, prepare some things that girls like in the carriage." "
An Xu bowed his head and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."
“Again, tell Qian to take care of things, and don’t allow servants to go to Yulan Lane to cause trouble again.”
Just as An Xu was about to exit, Hua Ruiming stopped him, "Also, let someone check, where is the origin of Dezhuang Bank?"
An Xu bowed down and waited for Hua Ruiming's instructions.
Hua Ruiming waved his hand, "No more, go ahead."
At the entrance of Huixian Tower, before Shi Yamei got into the car, she pulled Gu Huayu and said, "Miss Gu, I'll come shopping with you tomorrow, okay?"
Gu Huayu happily agreed, "Okay, I'll wait for Miss Shi at home."
Shi Yamei said with a smile: "From now on, you call me Yamei, and I'll call you in a whisper, okay? It's more cordial this way."
Gu Huayu smiled and responded, "Okay. Let's see you tomorrow."
Mingxin saw Ye Minghao approaching and reminded him quickly: "Miss, the eldest son Ye and the eldest son Ning Yuanhou are here."
The smile on Shi Yamei's face froze, and then she hurriedly boarded the carriage and said in a hurry: "Xiaoyu, see you tomorrow."
Gu Huayu looked at Shi Yamei who was running away, and then at Ye Minghao who was watching the carriage leave blankly, with the corners of her mouth raised.
Lin Wangshu looked at the carriage leaving and asked, "Zhifei, what's wrong? Is that the Shi Mansion's carriage?"
Ye Minghao withdrew his gaze and said, "It's nothing, let's go."
Chen Xue wanted to say goodbye to Gu Huayu, but Gu Huayu raised her hand and said, "Wait a moment, an acquaintance is here. Let me say hello first."
Chen Xue nodded and consciously stepped aside.
Gu Huayu said to Ye Minghao: "How do you do, Mr. Ye?"
Ye Minghao bowed his hands to Gu Huayu and returned the greeting, "Miss Gu, nice to meet you."
Lin Wangshu was amazed by Gu Huayu. Asked: "Zhifei, who is this?"
Ye Minghao introduced: "Gu Huayu, Miss Gu, Miss Gu, this is my good friend, Lin Wangshu, the eldest son of Ningyuan Houfu."
Gu Huayu said to Fu Shen, "How do you do, Mr. Lin?"
Lin Wangshu returned the gift with his hands in hand.
Ye Minghao asked: "Miss Gu, are you dining here?"
Gu Huayu smiled and nodded, "Yes, I met Miss Shi and Princess Jinglian here by chance, and they gathered together. Mr. Ye also came here to dine, right? I won't disturb you two, I'll go ahead."
Gu Huayu didn't like Lin Wangshu's unscrupulous look at her, so she left.
Ye Minghao originally wanted to find out about Shi Yamei's situation indirectly, but when he saw Gu Huayu leaving, he had no choice but to say goodbye.
Gu Huayu turned to Chen Xue and said, "Let's go."
Chen Xue nodded in agreement and followed Gu Huayu across the street. "Miss Gu, thank you today."
Gu Huayu turned her head to look at Chen Xue and said with a smile: "You're welcome. Miss Shi came to your rescue today. I didn't do anything."
Chen Xue lowered her head and said, "I don't understand why Miss Gu wants to help me, but I still want to thank you."
Speaking, Chen Xue bowed to Gu Huayu.
Gu Huayu reached out and took Chen Xue's hand, reminding her, "Okay, we're on the street."
Chen Xue straightened up, looked around, and saw someone looking this way, and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot."
Gu Huayu asked: "What are your plans next?"
Chen Xue shook his head and said truthfully: "I don't know. I haven't thought about it. I'm just dawdling day by day."
Gu Huayu suddenly asked: "If Hua Ruiming carries you into his house and asks you to be his concubine, would you be willing?"
Chen Xue looked at Gu Huayu in surprise. She didn't know why Gu Huayu asked so. She thought about it and shook her head, "No."
Gu Huayu has learned over the past few days that Chen Xue's admiration for Hua Ruiming is less than Shi Yamei's admiration for Lu Ziqin.
Gu Huayu asked: "Are you not willing or unwilling?"
Chen Xue met Gu Huayu's gaze and said word by word: "He won't carry me into the house. I don't want to and will not be a concubine for others."
"Why? Don't you like him?" Gu Huayu had no intention of stopping the questioning.
Chen Xue smiled bitterly and said: "A concubine is a slave, a thing for men's entertainment.
Ah Da Aiang holds me in my palm, letting me grow up carefree. They don't want me to be a cheap self, and I will not be a cheap yourself.
I was born differently from him, and we don’t belong to the right family.
Before, I was too naive and took my childhood jokes seriously.
This is fine now, he goes his own way and I live my life. "
Gu Huayu kept looking at Chen Xue and continued to ask: "Do you hate him?"
Chen Xue shook her head, "I don't hate it!"
Gu Huayu smiled and said: "Don't hate him? It seems that you don't like him much either!"
Chen Xue smiled and said, "Maybe!"
With that said, Chen Xue took out the banknote and handed it to Gu Huayu, "Keep this as a thank you gift for saving me from trouble several times."
Gu Huayu did not answer and asked, "Aren't you short of money? Why don't you keep it yourself?"
Chen Xue said: "Tomorrow, I will send the plain-crested lotus cauldron to the princess's house, and I will have ten thousand taels of silver. Ten thousand taels of silver will be enough for Liu'er and I to use for many years."
Gu Huayu felt inexplicably sad when she looked at Chen Xue, who had no desires or demands.
“I am not short of money. Keep these banknotes yourself. If you want to thank me, come over and help me teach them how to plant flowers and plants.”
“Guide to plant flowers and plants? Miss Gu also grows flowers and plants?” Chen Xue asked in surprise.
Gu Huayu nodded and said, "I opened a rouge shop. The rouge, gouache, and lotion sold in the shop are all made by myself, so I planted a lot of flowers and plants."
Chen Xue nodded in agreement without thinking, "Is Zhuangzi far from the city? I will send flowers to the princess now, and then go to Zhuangzi, okay?"
Gu Huayu looked at her watch, shook her head and said: "It's too late today, let's go tomorrow. I'll ask Uncle Hua to send you there, and I'll give you fifty taels of silver every month, on the fifth, sixth, fifteenth and tenth of every month." Six, twenty-five, twenty-six vacation.”
“I don’t need to take a vacation, I have nothing to do anyway. Also, I don’t need to pay for it, I like to spend time with flowers and plants…”
Gu Huayu interrupted her, "I'm very grateful that you are willing to help me, how can I not pay you?
People should balance work and rest, and cannot do things all day long, so they should take six days off every month.
The general situation is like this. Uncle Hua will tell you the other details.
After you deliver the flowers to the princess's house tomorrow, go to Dechang Bank to find Uncle Hua. Uncle Hua will take you to the village. "
Chen Xue nodded in agreement, "Okay, is there a place to stay in Zhuangzi? What do I need to bring there?"
“Everything is available in Zhuangzi. You don’t need to bring anything with you. Just go there. How are you going back?”
"Gu Huayu looked around but didn't see the carriage.
Chen Xue said: "Liu'er and I will just walk back."
Gu Huayu turned to face Huadao: "Uncle Hua, take them back and arrange a driver for her later, who will be responsible for Miss Chen's travel and safety."
Hua Da bowed and said, "You two, wait here while I drive over."
Chen Xue couldn't refuse the kindness, so she had to accept it.
Hua Mansion, Lu Ziqiu returned to the mansion and lost his temper.
Mrs. Liu got the letter and rushed over to comfort her. After learning the whole story, Mrs. Liu took people to the Chen Mansion on Magnolia Lane. Seeing that the door of the Chen Mansion was locked, she asked her servants to smash the door. After entering the hospital, they smashed it again. .
Chen Xue returned home and saw that the house was in a mess, and she was so angry that she burst into tears.
Liuer bent down to clean it up, but Hua Da stopped him. "Don't move yet!"
Liu'er looked at Hua Da blankly.
Hua Dadao: "You can't tolerate it any longer. There needs to be an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, next time, she will come to the door to act up. You two wait outside the door, and I will report it to the official."
Chen Xue shook her head, "Thank you, Uncle Hua, I don't have the energy to argue with them. Forget it, let's leave it at that. I'll go to Zhuangzi tomorrow and won't be back in a short time."
Liu'er thought about the plain crown and the cauldron, and hurriedly walked into the house.
After a while, Liu'er came out holding the orchid and said, "I'm scared to death. I thought this flower was also harmed by them."
Chen Xue thought of something and said to Hua Daodao: "Uncle Hua, can you send me to the princess's mansion now? I'm afraid of causing trouble, so I want to send these flowers there as soon as possible."
Hua Da nodded in agreement.
Hua Da sent Chen Xue to the princess's residence, handed over the flowers, and then sent Chen Xue and Liu'er back to Yulan Lane before driving away.
Hua Da returned to Wutong Lane and told Gu Huayu about the Chen family.
After hearing this, Gu Huayu asked, "Did you ask about it? Who did it?"
Hua Da bowed and said, "The neighbors said that Mr. Liu led someone to smash it."
Gu Huayu nodded and said: "The Liu family's grocery store on Chunhui Road is Liu's dowry. Tonight, people will destroy the store.
The items in the shop were destroyed on the spot. Tomorrow Ms. Liu will definitely check it out after receiving the letter, asking her to break one of her legs. "
Hua laughed and responded, "Okay, I'll make arrangements right now."
Hua Da happily left.
On the other side, after the emperor left the British Duke’s residence, Lu Ziqin was called to the study by the British Duke.
After the wise king Hua Ruiming left, the British Duke sent Lu Ziran and Lu Zixun away, leaving only Lu Ziqin.
Lu Ziqin asked: "Grandpa, do you have something to give me?"
The British Duke nodded and said: "Today the emperor specially came to crown you, which shows that you are very popular with the emperor.
Now in the court hall, several ministers are admonishing the emperor to establish the crown prince. You know what to do next, right? "
Lu Ziqin nodded and replied: "Ziqin understands."
The British Duke nodded with satisfaction, "The prince only likes you. If the prince is in power, he will definitely treat you well."
Lv Ziqin nodded.
The British Duke continued: "Among the four princes, King Chen seems to be an idle prince, while Concubine Li spends all day in the palace doing flowers and plants without fighting for it. The mother and son have no intention of taking that position.
Concubine Duan was once a female official in the palace, with a low status. The King of Chu had no outsiders to help her, so she was not afraid of her.
Those who pose a threat to the prince are the concubines of Huaqing Palace and the King of Qi.
In the palace, the imperial concubine is in charge of the rear officials and suppresses the empress in every aspect.
In the court, Prime Minister Zhao is biased towards the King of Qi, Prime Minister Jiang is neutral with the King, and Jiang Silang of Jiang Prime Minister's Mansion is on good terms with the prince, so there shouldn't be a big problem in trying to get Prime Minister Jiang to come over.
Among the six departments, the Minister of Rites is still vacant, and the Minister of Punishment and Officials are favored by the King of Qi.
On the prince's side, only Zhu Shangshu from the Ministry of Husbandry, Liao Hongyi from the Ministry of Works, and Shi Lijian from the Ministry of War did not take sides.
Today I will tell you about the situation between the DPRK and China. Firstly, it will give you an idea. Secondly, it is about your marriage. "
Lu Ziqin leaned forward and said, "Grandpa, I want to make my own decision about my marriage."
“Pah!” The British father slapped the table hard and said, “Nonsense. Since ancient times, marriage has been ordered by parents. How can anyone make the decision on their own?”
Lu Ziqin looked at the British duke with wide eyes and said without giving up: "I make the final decision on my marriage. Apart from that, I can do whatever my grandfather asks me to do."
The British Duke raised his finger and pointed at Lu Ziqin, "I just praised you for being smart, so you came to have **** with me, right?"
Lv Ziqin repeated: "I have the final say in my marriage."
"Impossible! You were born in the British Crown Palace, and you have been protected by the British Crown Palace since you were a child. You have to pay for the British Crown Palace. It is impossible for you to have the final say in your marriage." The British Duke said.
Lv Ziqin was uncompromising, "Except for the marriage, I can agree to everything else."
The British public was very stubborn when he saw it, and said in a low voice: "I have also analyzed the current situation for you. The chance of victory on the prince's side is not good, and we have to find a way to win over the king.
The third granddaughter of the Prime Minister, who had hairpins years ago, is a perfect match for you.
With the marriage between King Lu and his family, the Prime Minister naturally sided with the prince.
Ziqin, you are a sensible person and you should know the importance.
As long as the prince is good, we can be good. "
Lu Ziqin shook his head and said: "I don't agree with the marriage. I make my own decision in my marriage."
Even though the British minister had good things to say, Lu Ziqin remained unmoved.
The British Duke looked at Lu Ziqin angrily and said, "You are so disobedient, do you want to marry that country girl?"
Lu Ziqin’s eyes darkened and he asked, “Grandpa, are you asking people to stare at me?”
The British prince avoided Lu Ziqin's gaze with some embarrassment, "What do you mean, I have people watching you? You take the girl to Fanlou for a party. Silang of the Jiang family, the two young masters of the Li family, Brother Ming, and the prince are all present. "
