Qiu Mobai was speechless after hearing what those little kids said.
Hua Qingqing also looked at him curiously.
"The baby has never eaten gold."
"Brother Qiu, is it delicious?"
Qiu Mobai laughed dryly and said, "I haven't tried it either. How about you try it yourself?"
As he said that, he took out four golden melon seeds from his pocket. Each person was given one.
"This is for you! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After saying that, he slipped away. He was very afraid that these kids would come up with something weird again.
How many children got the golden pumpkin seeds? Everyone was very happy and started researching immediately.
"How do I eat this?" Wang Xiaopang couldn't help swallowing. Just stuff it directly into your mouth. Chew, chew.
It happened to be seen by Wang Po who came over.
She was startled and rushed over and grabbed Wang Xiaopang's mouth. He forcibly picked the golden melon seeds out of his mouth.
"Oh my, who the hell gave this to a child to play with? If someone eats it, they'll die."
She has a loud voice. Hua Qingqing and the others were so frightened that they immediately threw the golden melon seeds to the ground.
Just at this time, the parliament ended. Hua Changjue and the others all came out. Come over and ask, what's going on?
"I don't know who actually gave golden pumpkin seeds to the child to play with. What if the child swallowed them by mistake?"
Hua Changjue thought, there is probably only one person who is rich and powerful but does not have such common sense.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Hua Qingqing didn't eat.
He quickly explained to Wang Po and gave all the golden melon seeds to her as an apology.
Only then did Wang Po calm down. He led a few children away.
Hua Changjue was holding Hua Qingqing, followed by Hua Lingjian.
Hua Changjue educated Hua Qingqing as he walked.
"Don't eat anything you want in the future. Got it?"
Hua Qingqing curled her lips.
"That's Brother Qiu!"
"Are you really using banknotes to wipe your ass?"
Hua Changjue and Hua Lingjian were both stunned. Shaking his head speechlessly.
Just returned to the house. I received a letter from the capital.
Hua Changjue finished reading the letter and gave it to Hua Lingjian.
Hua Lingjian frowned after reading it.
"I never thought that the old emperor would personally choose a concubine for his eldest grandson. Luckily, my sister escaped."
"But my sister has ruined her reputation. Is she going to marry that Mr. Shen?" Hua Lingjian couldn't help but worry.
Hua Changjue frowned.
"I'm afraid this isn't that easy."
The other side.
In Bianjing City, in the mansion of Duke Anguo.
Hongyu walked to Qingfeng Garden with an unhappy look on her face. Entered Hua Wanru's room. Speak directly.
"This Mr. Shen is really too mean."
"It's been so many days. Why hasn't he come to propose marriage yet?"
"Are you trying to drag our young lady down? Do you want other noble ladies to laugh at our young lady?"
As he said this, he placed a box in front of Hua Wanru.
"It's really better to marry the emperor's eldest grandson."
"Miss, look quickly. This is another gift from the emperor's eldest grandson."
Hua Wanru sat at the table, preparing herbs. He didn't even raise his head.
"Didn't I tell you? You have to return any gifts given by the emperor's eldest grandson. You can't accept them."
Hongmian was embroidering the shape of shoes nearby. He also glared at Hongyu. "How many times has Miss told you? Why are you taking it back?"
Hongyu pouted, "I didn't want to take it either. But the emperor's eldest grandson's followers stuffed the things into my arms and ran away. I can't just throw the things away, right?"
Hongyu said this and gently opened the box.
"It's strange. How did the emperor's eldest grandson know our girl's preferences? Look at what he gave her. How thoughtful it was."
Hua Wanru was slightly stunned and looked up.
Inside the box, there was actually a rare herb. The price is not too expensive. But it's very hard to find. Most people don’t need it.
She mainly used it to treat insomnia for Mr. Jiang and Mr. Liu. Neither of them had been sleeping well recently. I couldn't sleep for whole nights. My spirits have become very bad.
She thought about it, or pushed the things aside? To the red cotton road next to it.
"She's embarrassed, so just leave it to you. Return the things." After saying that, he lowered his head and sorted the herbs.
Hongmian put down the shoes and glared at Hongyu. Then I quickly picked up my things and walked out.
Hongyu couldn't help sighing as she watched.
There was no other way, after all, the eldest grandson of the emperor had already chosen the imperial consort and concubine. It’s really not easy to contact again. She also didn't want to change her reputation as a young lady.
But she was still unhappy.
I couldn't help but nag in front of Hua Wanru again.
"Princess Xinrong also told us that Master Shen would come to ask for my hand in marriage. How come it's been several days and there's still no news?"
“It’s really a bit too much.”
"If Mr. Shen doesn't want to marry Miss, then come and tell me. What's the point of just leaving it alone like this?"
Just at this time, Cui Jing, the maid beside Jiang. Come and find Hua Wanru.
"The lady is asking me to go over there. She said she has something to tell you."
Hua Wanru nodded, took two medicine bottles, and went out with Hongyu.
Jiang was waiting in the inner room. When she saw Hua Wanru come in, she quickly pulled her to sit down.
"Ruer is here, sit down quickly!"
Hua Wanru smiled and sat down next to Jiang.
"I originally wanted to come here to pay my respects to my mother!"
Jiang nodded and asked everyone else to leave.
When they were the only ones left in the room. She said with an unpleasant expression.
“I sent someone to the Princess’s residence to check. There has been no news about Master Shen in the past few days. He must have been locked up at home by the Princess and not allowed to go out.”
Hua Wanru was surprised. She didn't expect that Jiang would send someone to investigate. She felt more grateful.
Jiang really felt sorry for her. Treat her as a daughter. Hua Wanru's eyes turned warmer when she looked at Jiang.
"Thank you, mother!"
Jiang patted her hands.
"What's there to thank for? Just listen to me!"
"It just started. Master Shen resisted and seemed to want to come out to see you. But he was locked up in the ancestral hall by the eldest princess. I heard it was locked."
Hua Wanru frowned. She didn't expect Shen Jialin to be like this!
Jiang frowned and continued.
“I heard that Mr. Shen has started a hunger strike in the past two days.”
Hua Wanru was surprised. She really never expected that Shen Jialin would go to such lengths for her.
Jiang sighed, patted Hua Wanru's hand, and continued.
“Hey, this matter can’t be blamed on Master Shen.”
"It seems that the eldest princess had already fallen in love with Fang Yaxin, the granddaughter of the current Grand Tutor Fang Lao Da. Both families have been in contact with each other privately. I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
"I guess the princess has taken a liking to the other family, which is of noble origin. So..."
