Chapter 123 Yan Shier Niang and Gu Chang Xiao's First Meeting
Ever since she made things clear with Yan Shier Niang, the girl seldom came to the border town. This time she must have come to deliver the dividends from Yanzhizhai.
If people are scared and think that our border town is full of horror elements, they will not dare to come here in the future, and the cooperation will not be deepened. That would scare away the God of Wealth, no, the God of Wealth's sister! Scare away this God of Wealth, she is more anxious than the real Li King, because Gu Changxiao agreed that the benefits of cooperation with the Yan family would be shared equally by the Ji family and the Li King.
That is to say, this is not only the company's money, but also her personal shares! She wants to buy land and open a store in the future, all relying on the money earned by the Yan family, how can she not be anxious! Sincerely pray, Yan Twelve Niang, you must be fine! Seeing the panic he had never seen on Taoist Xiao Ji's face, Gu Changxiao slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, you told me that you have no thoughts about Yan Twelve Niang, and you have no chance of love in this life, but how can I believe this expression? But Gu Changxiao soon reacted, he shouldn't be so upset, even if Taoist Xiao Ji really likes that Yan girl, why should he be angry?
He just said that he wanted to become sworn sisters with her and would give her half of the city to keep her.
Now that he found out that Taoist Xiao Ji had a woman he cared about, he should be happy! He could use the Yan family girl to keep Taoist Xiao Ji.
But why did he feel so uncomfortable? Seeing Taoist Xiao Ji anxiously worrying about another person, he felt like he had swallowed a sour olive, and his heart ached with every breath.
He followed behind Jin Sui silently, watching Jin Sui rush back to the camp, and asked loudly: "Where is Miss Yan? Where is Miss Yan?"
Yan Shiyilang was the first to jump out: "You are so good, Jun Yanqing! I tell you, if my sister gets scared and becomes ill...ah!"
Before he could finish his threat, Jin Sui slapped him hard. Hei Hu, who had been waiting nearby, was quick-witted and quick-handed. He grabbed him by the collar and threw him away.
"He's been making a lot of noise here."
At this time, Chen Yunniang pushed the door open and said, "My Lord, Miss Yan is resting here."
Jin Sui hurried in and pushed Hei Hu and Gu Chang Xiao away: "Don't come in, both of you."
Heihu didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all. The room was small and there was no place for him to stand. Besides, he didn't know how to practice medicine, so he couldn't help.
Gu Changxiao was stunned. This was the first time that Taoist Ji refused to let him accompany him.
Why couldn't he go in? If he was concerned about the difference between men and women, why could Taoist Xiao Ji just walk into the house like this?
But he did not refute Jinsui in public. Instead, he stood silently against the wall, closed his eyes and listened carefully to the sounds in the room.
Yan Shier Niang was still unconscious, and Han Xing and Chen Yun Niang were taking care of her. As soon as Jin Sui came in, Han Xing stood up and apologized.
"It was all my fault for not considering things carefully and causing Miss Yan to be frightened."
Jin Sui cursed him in a low voice: "You are not like your soldiers, thinking that the dead are not scary, but the living are scary, right?"
"If you let any girl in the world see that scene, she would be scared to death! What were you thinking, letting her see it?"
"Also, I've told you many times that corpses cannot be left for long in hot weather. They must be burned and buried promptly, otherwise they will spread diseases."
Han Xing did not defend himself. He stood aside with his head down and listened to Jin Sui scolding him. His eyes just kept glancing at Yan Shier Niang's face, and he tightened the wet towel in his hand again and again.
Jin Sui glared at him fiercely, snatched the towel, and went forward to wipe the sweat off Yan Shier Niang's face, while taking her pulse.
Chen Yunniang took the mint water and rubbed it under Yan Twelve Niang's nose, and said softly, "Your Highness, can I try pinching your philtrum?"
Jin Sui shook his head, took out a silver needle and gave acupuncture to Yan Shier Niang. The silver needle slowly inserted into the Ren Zhong acupoint, and Yan Shier Niang's eyes opened.
When she opened her eyes and saw Jinsui's face, her first reaction was to stare at him blankly, as if she was in a dream. She was reluctant to see the person in her dream disappear, so she wanted to look at him as long as possible.
To be honest, the burning eyes made Jinsui feel very guilty. At that moment, what she was thinking was, I wish I were a real man!
I would rather poke a hole in the sky than not have a passionate love affair with you!
Too bad, I’m a woman!
"Hey, Miss Yan, you're awake."
Tears suddenly welled up in Yan Twelve's eyes: "Am I dreaming?"
Jinsui slowly took out the silver needle and brought the tea bowl on the table. She wanted to help her up herself, but Chen Yunniang helped her up first.
After drinking two sips of tea, Yan Shier Niang was sure that she was not dreaming. The prince was really in front of her! At the same time, she thought of the scene she had seen not long ago. She grabbed Jin Sui's sleeve and cried in fear: "Prince, it's so scary! So scary!"
Jin Sui patted her back to comfort her: "It's okay, those are just the bodies of the horse thieves."
While glaring at Han Xing, he said, "Don't do this again! The refugees are so scared that they dare not come out."
Han Xing cupped his hands: "Your Majesty is right!"
Jin Sui glared at him again: "Why don't you apologize to Miss Yan?"
Han Xing glanced at Yan Twelve Niang, lowered his head suddenly, and said softly: "Miss Yan, I'm sorry, I scared you."
Yan Twelve Niang pulled Jin Sui's sleeve and said anxiously, "Your Highness, please don't scold Captain Han. It was me who insisted on going into the woods. He advised me not to."
This is why Jinsui likes Yan Shierniang. The girl is straightforward and honest. She won’t push the responsibility onto others like a green tea girl.
"I thought that the prince didn't want to see me and was hiding inside, so I had to go in."
Jin Sui sighed softly: "How could I not want to see you? If Miss Yan is willing to be friends with me, I will be waiting for you to come to the border town at any time."
She smiled meaningfully and said, "Besides, we are still cooperating with Yanzhizhai. Why would I hide from my partners?"
When Yan Twelve Niang mentioned this, she thought of the purpose of her visit and said hurriedly, "I am here to give you dividends. This month, Yanzhizhai's business is very good. I think the prince needs money to build the border city. I can't wait until the end of the year, so I send you some dividends in advance."
Jin Sui was overjoyed. This was really the God of Wealth coming to visit her! Her voice became even gentler: "Are you still dizzy? There's no rush for the dividends. No rush. You can take a rest first."
But everyone could tell that the two "not urgent" meant "urgent"! Yan Shier Niang hurriedly got up and went downstairs, but she was still a little dizzy and almost fell down.
Jin Sui quickly supported her and comforted her, "Don't worry, come and drink some more water."
"Where is my brother? The banknotes are with him." Yan Shier Niang looked outside the door.
Jin Sui was immediately anxious and shouted towards the door, "Hei Hu! Please bring in Wugui, no, the Eleventh Young Master!"
Don't break anyone! It doesn't matter if someone breaks, but don't break my banknotes!
Hei Hu outside the door uttered a loud "Ah" and hurried over to grab Yan Shiyilang.
Gu Changxiao, who was silently watching the scene in the room from the back window, tore the straw curtain with his fingers.
From his perspective, he saw Taoist Xiao Ji gently supporting Yan Shier Niang, and he heard Taoist Xiao Ji comforting Yan Shier Niang in an unprecedentedly gentle tone.
The two looked at each other affectionately from time to time. Yan Shier Niang's eyes were like autumn water, wishing she could drown the other person! And Taoist Xiao Ji's eyes were as bright as the stars under the telescope that night, looking at Yan Shier Niang as if she were looking at the most precious treasure in the world.
Taoist priest Xiao Ji, this is what you call having no personal feelings! You have absolutely no love between man and woman for Yan Shier Niang?
How can I believe it?
You agreed so readily to continue to play the role of the 'King of Li', is it because this identity will help you get in touch with Miss Yan?
At this moment, Gu Changxiao felt mixed emotions, but he was very sober and could not blame Taoist Xiao Ji for anything.
The few of them left the small room and came to the yard. Yan Shiyi crossed his arms angrily and glared at Hei Hu:
"Big black guy, if you dare to throw me again, I will not let you off easily!"
Hei Hu rolled up his sleeves and said, "Come on, if you want to fight, let's have a fight."
Yan Shiyi jumped three feet high and hid behind Han Xing: "Who wants to fight with you!"
He rolled his eyes and said, "A one-on-one fight is personal heroism. If you have the guts..."
Hei Hu replied: "A group fight is fine, call some people over!"
Yan Shiyilang snorted disdainfully: "Fighting with the Black Feather Camp, you are bullying! If you want to compete, let's play polo. Whoever wins must be respectful to me when they meet the other side in the future."
Heihu was about to refuse, thinking that playing polo was a hobby for rich kids, and how could they, the marginal soldiers, have the time to play that?
But the prince said first:
"Okay! Then let's make an appointment. We'll play a polo match in the border town in half a month. It's boring to play with two teams. If we want to play, let's play big and place bets.
One team from the Border Town Black Feather Camp and one team from the Tuntian Camp will participate in the competition. How many teams can you bring together depends on your ability."
Yan Shiyi said excitedly: "You said it! Then we have an appointment. Let's set it on August 18th to compete in the Border Town Arena!"
Yan Shiyi raised his hand. Jinsui was about to go forward and high-five him, but was stopped by Gu Changxiao, who high-fived Yan Shiyi on behalf of Jinsui.
Yan Shiyi hates all of King Li’s personal guards equally!
After glaring at Hei Hu, he glared at Gu Changxiao again. After high-fiving, he rubbed his hands on his clothes in disgust.
Then he ran to Yan Twelve Niang and whispered to her, "Look, sister, it's this boy who eats and lives with Jun Yanqing all day long. They sleep in that little room with only one bed!"
Yan Shier Niang took a quick look at Gu Changxiao and saw that this man looked different from other men in Yan. He had a tall and straight figure like a pine tree and a handsome face, but he was a little gloomy and gave people a fierce feeling.
When she looked at him, their eyes met, Yan Shier Niang actually felt scared.
This feeling is very similar to when your eldest brother Yan Jiu is angry. He doesn’t say anything, just looks at you indifferently, and you are so scared that your legs go weak.
When Gu Changxiao looked at her, she quickly looked away, but she was not convinced. Although you are handsome, you are not as handsome as the prince! You are just a personal guard. I am not afraid of you! I wanted to glare back, but I didn't have the courage. I just said to my second brother:
"Who asked him? Where's the banknote?"
Yan Shiyilang took out the silver bill from his arms, and Yan Shierniang quickly snatched it and personally handed it to Jinsui.
The two of them treated the banknote so casually that Jin Sui's heart trembled. That was a banknote! What if a corner was torn off? Can you two pay more attention to my money?
Jin Sui took it and flipped through it quickly. There were ten tickets worth one thousand taels each! She was so surprised that she couldn't express it in words. Yanzhizhai, is it so profitable?
Yan Twelve Niang was very satisfied with the prince's expression, and secretly made up her mind to work harder to run Yanzhizhai and make more money for the prince! Yan Shiyi muttered, "If you want to exchange silver or gold, you can exchange it with my Yan family bank. The handling fee is three taels for every hundred taels."
Jin Sui frowned, and before she could say anything more, Yan Shier Niang said for her: "How can we accept the handling fee from the prince? If you insist on accepting it, then I will go and change it myself. Prince, do you want silver or gold?"
Jin Sui looked at Twelve Niang with a gentler look. What a good girl! So considerate. Knowing that I love money, she even saved me the handling fee!
Gu Changxiao couldn't stand the way she looked at Yan's daughter, so he nudged her with his elbow and said, "Miss Yan, are you asking you for silver or gold?"
Jin Sui said hurriedly: "Change all the silver into cash."
Yan Shier Niang felt that Gu Changxiao was too disrespectful to the prince. Although she felt that this man was scary, she wanted to protect the prince. She stepped forward to take back the banknote and glared at Gu Changxiao fiercely: "Don't worry, prince. I will send you the silver coins without missing a tael of silver."
Gu Changxiao was puzzled. Why are you glaring at me? What do you think of Taoist Xiao Ji being so gentle to you? But Jin Sui's heart was moved by this glance. He was secretly happy first. Could it be that Yan Shier Niang fell in love with Gu Changxiao?
Yes, Gu Changxiao is so handsome and has a noble temperament, most girls would be moved by him.
If they really fell in love with each other, and Gu Changxiao married Yan Shier Niang, it would be great for the development of Border Town!
Marrying this guy home is like marrying a living god of wealth! There are also two "brother treasures". With Yan Jiu's help, the Yanzhou nobles will never look for trouble in Biancheng again.
Making money, storing food, buying pig iron and horses, etc., all became much easier.
She wanted to bring these two people together! But soon a faint sadness came over her. Gu Changxiao and she were from two different worlds. Whether it was Ji Sui or Ling Jinsui, they should have other feelings.
She is very good at being self-consistent. Now she is trying to survive at the border and should not spend her time and energy on love affairs.
Whether from the overall situation or from a personal perspective, she is optimistic about the pair of Gu Changxiao and Yan Shier Niang.
How good is Yan Twelve Niang! She didn't hurt anyone except this good girl when she pretended to be the King of Li.
Since she can't be someone else's husband, it's only right for her to find another husband for him.
Her eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and soon she had a rough plan. She coughed lightly and said:
"Miss Yan just got scared and is not fit to travel. It would be better for her to rest in the border town for two days before leaving."
Yan Shiyilang straightened his neck to protest, but then he heard Yan Shierniang say happily, "Okay! The prince promised to take me to see the scenery outside the Great Wall, so it's a good time to go."
Jin Sui instructed Han Xing: "You are responsible for Miss Yan's safety and protection. Please ask Sister Chen to clean up the room."
Chen Yunniang agreed happily and went downstairs to prepare things.
Jinsui turned around to look for Heihu, but saw that this guy had already run off to talk to the round-faced white girl. The two of them were standing together, like Big Bear and Beautiful Sheep.
Yan Shiyilang hesitated between staying and returning to the city to notify the polo match, but his sister pushed him to go: "Second brother, go home first and help me change the money. Come back to pick me up in two days."
Yan Shiyi whispered to her, "If you don't go home, my brother will beat me to death!"
Yan Twelve Niang laughed and said, "No way, just say that I just learned the rouge recipe from the prince, and with so many servants here, how could I lose it?"
Yan Shiyi asked anxiously, "Is that the problem? If a girl like you stays overnight at the King's place, people will spread rumors outside."
Yan Shier Niang whispered, "The gossip that should be spread has already been spread. I am not afraid of it! Besides, I know very well that there will be no result between me and the prince."
Yan Shiyi seemed to have just thought of this and laughed: "I forgot that Jun Yanqing is inhumane..."
Before he could finish his words, Hei Hu grabbed him by the collar and threw him out.
