Chapter 44 The Living God of Wealth, King Ying
Everyone in Jingxin Garden knows that Miss Qiuqiu is waiting for something in the courtyard early in the morning. Whenever they hear a noise, they stop what they are doing and listen carefully.
Yun Jinglan came out of the house. "Dongxiao, who's here?"
Surely he can't really be the God of Wealth!
Dong Xiao straightened herself up and said, "Lord He from the Dali Temple, Prince Ying, and Xue Zheng, the young master of Prince Ying's mansion, have all arrived and are in the front hall right now. The Marquis sent someone to tell us to bring Miss Qiuqiu there."
Yun Jinglan paused, seemingly lost in thought.
King of England...
Isn't this a living God of Wealth?
Seeing that her mother had stopped moving, Chiu Chiu tilted her head and pretended to think: "Who is the King of England?"
There's no such person in the novel!
Chiu Chiu was unfamiliar with the King of England, who wasn't mentioned in the novel, but everyone else in the capital knew him.
The King of England and the late Emperor were brothers. When the national treasury was empty, the King of England went south incognito to do business and raise funds for the late Emperor's army. Later, his business grew bigger and bigger, not only filling the national treasury but also accidentally becoming the richest man in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If it weren't for the late emperor repeatedly emphasizing that the Great Zhou was wealthy enough, the King of England would probably still be traveling around doing business.
However, after the late emperor passed away, the Prince of Ying rarely appeared in public. His status was so high that even His Majesty had to respectfully call him Imperial Uncle. When his stubborn temper flared up, he wouldn't even give His Majesty any face.
They've actually come to their residence now?
Yun Jinglan immediately ordered, "Quickly help the young lady wash up, then take her to the front hall!"
Chiu Chiu was finally satisfied; the God of Wealth she had been longing for had arrived!
Chiu Chiu was taken to the front hall, where her usually stern grandfather was actually smiling and chatting with an old man with a white beard. Uncle He, whom she had met before, sat upright to the side.
This old man must be the King of England, the legendary living God of Wealth.
Chuchu excitedly clapped her little hands together, wanting her to pay homage to the living God of Wealth so she could make a fortune in the new year!
Koi fish and the God of Wealth are a perfect match!
As Qiuqiu sized up the King of England, the King was also observing the little baby. He was slightly surprised: "Didn't Zheng'er say that you escaped disaster because the two boys from the Su family reminded you? How come you've become a little baby? You're quite cute, Su Mingyang, you're very lucky!"
The moment he saw Chiu Chiu, King Ying felt a lump in his throat. He suddenly remembered how his daughter used to smile at him so innocently and cheerfully when she was little.
Later, weighing the power dynamics, he personally pushed her into a dead end.
His current favoritism towards his grandson is perhaps a way of trying to make amends to his daughter. But she's gone now, and no amount of effort can change that; he's just deceiving himself to find peace of mind for the rest of his life.
Xue Zheng had heard the twins mention their younger sister back in the academy. He also had younger siblings, but he didn't like them. They were just there to annoy him!
But she likes this little sister; she looks so cheerful!
"Brother Jingwen and Brother Xiucheng said they're all family, so you can thank their sister. Look, it's this little one."
Chirp nodded, its expression serious as if it were about to come down and receive its reward.
Yes, it's me. Just thank me.
Gold coins were scattered down, and ingots fell down.
She struggled to hook the strap of her flower-patterned bag to signal the King to look over.
【Hmm, put it here.】
Marquis Wenyang said he really couldn't bear to look!
The King of England beckoned to Dongxiao, who was holding Qiuqiu, and said, "Bring her here so I can see her."
Chiu Chiu urged, "[Hold him over.]"
If someone isn't proactive in collecting money, there's something wrong with their thinking.
When I get home tonight, I need to strengthen my ideological education of Aunt Dongxiao!
The King of England sat up straight, stiffly taking the baby from Qiuqiu. Judging from his movements, one would know he was holding a child, but someone who didn't know better would think he was holding the Imperial Seal of the State.
The King weighed the chubby baby in his arms; the weight was similar to that of his daughter when she was a baby.
"Your brother asked me to thank you? How do you intend to accept my gratitude?"
Chiu Chiu: "?" Can't I put it in my pocket?
"Hahaha!" The Prince of Ying suddenly laughed. "Today, the people from the Marquis of Wenyang's mansion saved my Zheng'er. My Prince of Ying's mansion owes you a life. If Qiuqiu ever needs anyone in the future, she can come to the mansion to find him. As long as it does not harm the fate of the nation, my Prince of Ying's mansion will gladly die for you!"
As he spoke, he slipped the jade pendant he carried with him into Qiuqiu's little hand.
Chirp: I'm grabbing it!
She held onto the jade pendant tightly, and Marquis Wenyang was afraid that she might accidentally drop it.
This is a fish-patterned jade pendant bestowed by the late emperor.
This jade pendant was originally a pair; after the Prince of England returned from the south, His Majesty and the Prince of England each held one. After the late Emperor passed away, the jade pendant was buried in the imperial mausoleum as part of his burial.
"Your Highness, this jade pendant is far too valuable!"
The King waved his hand dismissively. He had already gained power and wealth in his life, and these were all external things to him.
As he spoke, he pulled out a large handful of silver notes from his pocket and stuffed them into Qiuqiu's arms.
This action not only made Marquis Wenyang restless, but even Lord He, who was pretending to be a wooden figure, couldn't sit still.
It didn't say that accompanying someone to their home would cause conjunctivitis!
“It’s alright. None of this is a matter of life or death for Zheng’er. I believe that if my brother were still alive, he would definitely agree with my decision.” Prince Ying said, “Su Mingyang, you are not as magnanimous as your granddaughter.”
Why are you all looking at me?
Qiuqiu hugged the jade pendant and silver notes to her chest; once given to her, they couldn't be taken back!
A thousand thanks are not as meaningful as real money.
[Grandpa King, my dear grandpa! You truly are a living god of wealth.]
Wishing you great wealth every day!
Xue Zheng was a little bored, since he was the kind of person who couldn't stay idle.
Marquis Wenyang: "Jingwen and Xiucheng are in the study. Young Master Xue can go and play with them."
The academy was on holiday, but his devilish son wasn't. The two brothers practiced calligraphy every day until they looked pale and sickly. Xue Zheng's arrival was a rescue from their dire situation.
Xue Zheng smiled slyly: "Then is she going?"
Chiu Chiu was slightly taken aback. Who were they talking about?!
Xue Zheng pointed at her, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
This young man is handsome and has delicate features, so why does he want to take her to the study right away?
Chiu Chiu buried her head directly in the side of the King's neck.
[I can't hear you, I can't hear you, Chirp is still a baby, hehe, I don't want to study!]
Her two older brothers wail and scream like madmen every day because they have to memorize their lessons. She's just an uneducated little fish; she doesn't need to study!
Marquis Wenyang: Our Su family cannot have such an unambitious child!
He said decisively, "Little sister will go with you! To the study!"
Chiu Chiu exclaimed in astonishment: "Is this really my beloved grandpa?"
Too cruel!
Dongxiao, with great tact, took Qiuqiu from the Prince of Ying and, amidst the incredulous gaze of their young mistress, quickly took her to the study.
[Aunt Dongxiao, from now on, from now on, Qiuqiu won't be the best friend in the world with you!]
Unfortunately, Dong Xiao couldn't hear her thoughts and didn't know that her young mistress had made such a "frightening" promise, so she directly knocked on the door of the two young masters' study.
"Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master, Young Master Xue Zheng from the Prince of Ying's Mansion has arrived."
Su Jingwen and Su Xiucheng were almost asleep in the room when they were suddenly startled awake.
Who? Who's here?
Su Xiucheng quickly hid all the small items on the table and kicked his brother, saying, "Go open the door!"
Su Jingwen opened the door, only to be met not Xue Zheng's face, but Qiuqiu's angry little eyes.
"What happened to Jijiu?"
Chirp cried out: "Brother, help me! Poor Chirp! I don't want to read books, I want to be an uncultured little fish!"
