Chen Guiquan suddenly came back to his senses.
"Haha... Niece Liu, why are you here alone? Please come in, please come in."
Nangong Jiu was welcomed into the mansion.
Front yard flower hall.
Two elegantly dressed women stood at the entrance of the flower hall.
After looking at Nangong Jiu, he stepped forward and asked, "Master, who is this child?"
Chen Guiquan explained with a smile: "Her name is Liu Jiuer, she is the child of my colleague, and she came to the mansion to play."
These two women were none other than Chen Gui's new concubines, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Su, whose eyes reached the top of their heads.
After hearing what Chen Guiquan said, the two of them smiled on their faces but groaned in their hearts.
Where did this poor bastard come from? He's so young and already trying to get rich, not only did he bring a person, he even brought a dog with him.
These days, there are new ways to be a beggar.
Nangong Jiu listened to their thoughts, looked down at his clothes, and then used his spiritual sense to chat with Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing.
"Little Wang Xiaoxing, this dress of mine was made by mother using the finest moonlight brocade. Because I don't like to show off, mother specially chose a low-key color.
Unexpectedly, they thought highly of themselves but were blind and actually treated me as a poor guy who was begging for money.
How do we play well with them?"
"Your Majesty, isn't this simple? Just let them become the poor ghosts they think they are and beg for a living."
“Good idea!”
Chen Guiquan invited Nangong Jiu into the flower hall and sat down.
Aunt Zhang and Aunt Su hurried forward, hugged Chen Guiquan's arms and neck and acted coquettishly.
"Master, Xuji Bakery has released a new type of cake. I heard it's a recipe from the imperial palace, and they only sell a few servings a day.
We also want to try it, but we haven’t been able to buy it after trying it several times. Master, please help us sisters find a solution! "
Nangong Jiu was shocked by their coquettish voices, and got goose bumps all over his body and shuddered: "Huh!"
Chen Guiquan glanced at Nangong Jiu awkwardly and pushed the two of them away: "If you want to eat cakes, sit down."
Aunt Su noticed Chen Guiquan's eyes.
He became even more displeased with Nangong Jiu, so he picked up a plate of pastries and walked up to Nangong Jiu.
"Kid, call me Madam and I'll give you some cakes, how about that?"
Nangong Jiu took a look at the pastries on the plate, which were so ordinary that they couldn't be more ordinary, and sneered in his heart.
That’s it?
Do I have to call you Madam before I can eat it? This is a joke!
Nangong Jiu stared at Aunt Su without saying a word.
Chen Guiquan was so frightened that he quickly scolded Aunt Su: "Niece Liu is here as a guest, you must receive her well and not be rude!"
Aunt Su never expected that Chen Guiquan, who always responded to her requests, would scold her for a poor child, and she hated Nangong Jiu even more.
He put on a stern face, hummed softly and sat aside.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Zhang stepped forward to smooth things over and stuffed a piece of cake into Nangong Jiu's hand.
"Sister Su, the child is still young, why bother with her?"
This matter is temporarily over.
Chen Guiquan chatted with Nangong Jiu for no apparent reason.
At this time, the housekeeper hurried in and whispered a few words in Chen Guiquan's ear.
Chen Guiquan stood up and said, "Niece Liu, please sit down for a while. I'll be right back."
Before leaving, he instructed his two concubines, "Take good care of her and don't neglect her."
Aunt Zhang readily agreed: "Is there something wrong with the Madam? Master, please go. We will take good care of Miss Liu."
Chen Guiquan nodded and left.
Not long after the person left, Aunt Su sneered, took out a jade buckle from her waist pouch, and placed it in the small pocket on Nangong Jiu's chest.
Nangong Jiu stared at Aunt Su in confusion: "Is this for me?"
"Yeah, it's very pretty and expensive, right?"
After seeing it, Nangong Jiu said frankly: "It's very ordinary!"
Aunt Su couldn't help but sneered, "Ordinary? You probably haven't even seen such a valuable thing, right?
That's right, you're so young and were born in an ordinary family, so it's normal for you to be ignorant."
Aunt Zhang and Aunt Su looked at each other and said, "Child, she gave you all the jade buttons that were passed down from our family. You must keep them safe, okay?"
Keep it in your pocket, and wait until you are charged with the crime of thief, otherwise you won’t be able to get rid of it.
"Oh!" Nangong Jiu nodded in agreement.
Xiao Wang reminded him in time: "Your Majesty, I feel that these two women have bad intentions, so we must be careful and vigilant."
"They want to accuse me of being a thief!"
Nangong Jiu reached into his small pocket and felt around, then came up with an idea.
On the other side, Chen Guiquan said to Madam Chen, "The princess has come to the mansion, and you, the mistress of the house, don't go out to receive her. What's going on?"
"You only realize now that I'm the mistress of the house?"
Chen Guiquan knew he was in the wrong, but was also afraid that something might go wrong in the flower hall. "It's my fault! Hurry and go to the flower hall in the front yard. I've neglected the princess, and this is no joke."
Mrs. Chen took the overall situation into consideration and packed up her things before hurriedly heading to the flower hall with Chen Guiquan.
Chen Guiquan reminded as they walked: "The emperor has given instructions, so we can't reveal her identity. Just treat her as a colleague's child who came to our house to play.
By the way, just call her Niece Liu."
Mrs. Chen nodded and walked forward.
When Aunt Su heard the footsteps, she immediately started shouting loudly.
"Where's my jade buckle? My family's ancestral jade buckle is gone. It was there before. Sister Zhang, please help me find it!"
"What's going on? I saw you holding it earlier."
Aunt Zhang pretended to be anxious and called over four or five servants: "Hurry up and help find it. Aunt Su's ancestral jade buckle cannot be lost."
Nangong Jiu sneered in his heart, quietly reached into his small pocket, pinched the jade button, and flicked it at Aunt Zhang who was pretending to bend over and look for it.
