Chapter 204 Ranking
Being addicted to a woman who is not noble in status, has no family background, and is not very beautiful. For a man like Prince Yinde, it completely ruined him. Tomato Novel Network`
Zhao Xiniang felt that there was a heavy burden on her shoulders. If the emperor wanted to drag Prince Yinde out of the mud pond, he had to let the woman give up first, but this was too difficult.
If you are liked by such a man, let alone the emperor, even if the emperor comes, I will be the same. If you break your legs, you have to hold him and not let go!
Zhao Xiniang thought to herself, thinking that Zhuang Rou could not have any virtues. She would never be loved by such a man who was loved by thousands of people and looked good. She really envied the woman in the world!
Waste of natural resources!
How could she be worthy of the mortal god as a mortal god? Amitabha Buddha, save the poor Prince Yinde? He was confused.
At this time, Zhuang Rou couldn't hear what Zhao Xiniang was thinking. Instead, she touched Chu Xia's chin and suddenly found something. She touched her head and looked carefully, and said in surprise: "You actually have a beard!"
"Shave. I'm not Feng Jingshui, of course I have a beard." Chu Xia said dissatisfiedly. What does it mean? Who doesn't have a beard for men?
After hearing what he said, Zhuang Rou remembered it, touched her chin and said thoughtfully: "To put it, Feng Jingshui looks good too."
Zhao Xiniang raised her head keenly and said quickly: "Miss Zhuang, which young master Feng Jingshui is? I will tell you now. With the emperor's will, I am not afraid that he will not agree."
Zhuang Rou smiled, "Feng Jingshui, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horses."
"Too...eunuch!" Zhao Xiniang finally remembered who it was. Although she had heard of this, she did not pay much attention. Unless it was those eunuchs with godson, these people would not need her.
No matter how good the eunuch is, it’s useless!
Zhao Xiniang felt like she was being fooled. She knew that Miss Zhuang didn't plan to let go of Prince Yinde. If this matter was not completed, she would definitely be scolded to death if she went back like this.
She usually says something flawless, but now she can't say a word, so she can only stand beside her with a dry smile, looking for suitable words in her mind.
At this moment, Chu Xia suddenly asked, "If all the sons of officials above the second rank are there, then the portrait of Chen Mufeng, the ninth son of the Minister of Personnel, is there?"
Zhao Xiniang knew all the men and women who had not married in the capital and immediately said, "Mr. Chen Jiu is not in the capital, so she only wrote his name and character, let alone family background."
Chu Xia pointed to the void next to him, "Mrs. Chen Shangshu is in our mansion, and Chen Mufeng is also there. Don't you ask?"
"Ah!" Zhao Xiniang was stunned. She was the first to get the moon near the building, so it would be fine to persuade this!
"Madam Shangshu is a little uncomfortable, and no one can talk to her here. Maybe I want to see you. After all, you are familiar with the ladies of various prefectures. She will go back in a few days. This is a good opportunity to see her." Chu Xia said casually. There are still several young masters in the Chen family who have not got married, and the lady said more, so she doesn't have the opportunity to see Madam Shangshu.
Zhao Xiniang focused on Chen Mufeng. Seeing that she should know Zhuang Rou like this, it might be a chance. She kowtowed to Chu Xia, took the people out, and hurriedly pulled Ma Dezheng to lead the way to find the wife of Shangshu.
Ma Dezheng also wanted to ask Sister Zhuang, why don’t you choose one of so many good men? Each one is better than Prince Yinde. There are always a few men who are good-looking, but also knowledgeable and love their wife.
But Zhao Xiniang kept dragging him, so she had to take someone over first and then ask him again if she had time.
Seeing them leaving, Zhuang Rou looked at Chu Xia and said, "The emperor is not capable of deciding the marriage of an adult, so he will put his ideas on me? Why arrange for me to do? Whether I marry or not will not affect your marriage as a princess or something. Do you want to use me to control your brother?"
Chu Xia looked at her in surprise, "I thought you didn't understand these things. She was just a bad girl who exaggerated the facts and arrested people all day long. It turned out that she knew how to use you."
"I'm not an idiot. Although I don't know what my brother is doing, he must be very powerful. Even the emperor's kid wants to take advantage of him." Zhuang Rou hugged her hands and raised her eyebrows at him.
When this guy mentioned Zhuang Xuewen, his attitude became so arrogant and not likeable at all. Chu Xia snorted and said disdainfully: "Since you don't know, why do you say he is powerful? And you are too rude to the emperor. You dare to call him a boy. He is the biggest in status and age. You are young. It's not enough for people to hear that you have chopped your head ten times."
Zhuang Rou said unconvincedly: "My brother is the most powerful person to find me. If he doesn't have the ability, how could he find me without any clues? Although he has been looking for me for many years, he has succeeded."
"He is the most important person in this world. If anyone is not good for him, I will turn it over even if it is God."
Chu Xia supported her face with her hands and tilted her head meaningfully, "I really envy you. I also want to have someone who can regard me as the most important person in my life."
Seeing that he was so forgetful, Zhuang Rou reminded: "Don't you have four guards who protect you as your own life? You are not satisfied with the four, and you are so greedy."
"..." Chu Xia was speechless and said flatteringly, "I am talking about women. All kinds of sisters are fools. I forgot my brother with men. Not to mention the rest. I didn't know what my family was teaching since I was a child. I could turn dozens of turns in one sentence. I know what they were thinking in their hearts. I don't know whether it was for their husband's family or for their parents' family. I was upset when I watched it with a divine look."
Suddenly, he looked at Zhuang Rou and said, "Anyway, your brother occupies the most important position in your heart, so let's rank me second. Shi Zang said you have agreed. When I am in danger, I will try my best to save me. Speaking of which, I should have a high ranking."
Zhuang Rou looked at him carefully, as if counting the rankings, and after a while, she said, "Well... I barely get into ten, even if the adults rank tenth."
"What!" Chu Xia slapped the table angrily, and immediately covered her hands and grinned, it hurts so much!
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and shouted, "I am actually ranked tenth in your heart. Who are the eight in front?"
Zhuang Rou said without thinking: "No."
"You lie to me less. If you don't have one, I should rank second. You are afraid that I will not be good for them. Don't worry, I am not such a petty person." Chu Xia didn't believe it at all, so there was no reason to have eight people free of charge.
Looking at him and smiling, Zhuang Rou said, "Sir, if you want to be second, this is not enough. You have to work hard to learn the art of controlling people. However, I also want to ask you, who can I rank in your heart?"
Chu Xia was stunned. It was easy to tell a lie, but now he couldn't even make up a random ranking. He frowned and looked at Zhuang Rou and said honestly: "I don't know."
"When the adults find out, let's talk to me about this again. Finally, sir didn't lie to me." Zhuang Rou was not angry, but just looked at him and smiled sincerely.
This reaction was a bit beyond Chu Xia's expectations. He smiled knowingly, "Sometimes, I can't understand you."
Zhuang Rou narrowed her eyes and smiled happily, "Let's be a lustful person."
Until he left Zhuang Rou's small courtyard, Chu Xia was savoring the four words "lustful people". He knew that he looked good, but he only looked at his face and not his inner self, no matter what kind of person he was?
I felt that I was the most handsome man in the world, and that I felt a little uncomfortable with the discomfort of the face. This annoyance kept accompanying him back to Qingfengju, standing at the door and looking at the official documents he had been too lazy to deal with for three days and piled up like a mountain. Chu Xia suddenly came to his senses.
He turned around and looked at the door where there was only guards and suddenly laughed, "What a little monster, he was confused all day long and almost said to her."
Zhuang Rou was not as scheming as Chu Xia thought. She wanted to play with people in her palms. After talking straight, she slowly went out. She hadn't gone outside for a few days to ruin her reputation. She felt a little idle and uncomfortable, so she wanted to go out for a walk.
Just as he was about to go out, Ma Dezheng met her, but refused to let her go out alone. He wanted to send a yamen runner to follow her but was scolded. Finally, he reluctantly agreed to let Diao Yi, who was the least popular, follow her.
When the two went out, they really took a casual walk. Zhuang Rou went to the gambling house first to take a look. Yingfuxing sold very well, and there were a lot of people. The two brothers saw her like they saw Fuxing. When they left, they stuffed 100 taels of silver for Zhuang Rou and asked her to take her to have a drink of tea.
If this is used to buy tea, it will take several years to cook tea eggs. Zhuang Rou is unwilling to break the rules. The salary of the yamen runners is low and they usually rely on these incomes to support their lives. This is also an unwritten rule. She collected money in a dao's eyes, and she felt that this guy was not as poor as before, so why did she still look like she loves money and wants to take advantage of her?
He had already received the five taels of silver from the casino and had left two fine porcelain tea bowls, but he was still staring at the benefits he had taken. He really couldn't stand this guy.
Pretending to not see it, Zhuang Rou led him to the gate of Yanhongyuan, which was renamed Zhu Qing Liuyun. Logically speaking, the renovation should have been done long ago and you can open the door to pick up customers. But now there are still fortification frames on both sides of the gate, and sounds are constantly coming from inside.
She walked in and saw that there were not a few holes to plant some bamboos, but she wanted to demolish the entire Yanhongyuan. Most of the houses were demolished, and they were in a mess, looking like they wanted to rebuild the entire house.
Tai Shufang wouldn't have dumped all the money in it? What if the business is not good? Will he take the opportunity to quietly hang himself at the yamen gate when Yue Hei Feng Gao reaches out and scare him?
While Zhuang Rou was thinking about it, Tai Shufang had already seen her and quickly ran over the mess of materials and pits. "Sir, this place is too messy, so you'll trip over your legs and feet."
It seems that everyone in the world knows that they are injured and there is no fireworks to celebrate. It is really a failure. She nodded and said, "Why did you dig up like this here? You have to spend a lot of money?"
"Sir, now I really follow the idea given by the adult, and after consulting with the craftsman, I want to make a better repair. But the villain didn't have the money to build such a house, but an Enke felt that this idea was very good and wanted to earn a share. After thinking about it, the villain agreed. The Enke took out 10,000 taels of silver and came up with some ideas to make the adult's idea more perfect." Tai Shufang quickly explained, he really had no money.
Ten thousand taels!
Zhuang Rou didn't expect that this small brothel could attract such generous customers. It seemed that it was always attractive. Someone paid for money to help, so she nodded, "No, good, then build it well, but you have to use the money on the blade."
"It's all up to the blessings brought by the adults. Thank you very much. In just one or two months, you can get it done." Tai Shufang said happily.
"Well, okay, then you can do it." The construction site was too chaotic, so Zhuang Rou didn't look at it much, and only told Tai Shufang that she would come here in person on the day of opening, and maybe she could also abduct the magistrate.
Chapter completed!
