In front of the gate, there was a sedan chair parked, and six women were surrounding a middle-aged woman who was dressed in gold and silver, like a noble lady.
Situ Xiu didn't know her and didn't know how to address her. Eunuch Hai beside him reminded him, "Your Highness, she is Princess Zhaoyang."
Princess Zhaoyang?
Never heard of it.
Situ Xiu stepped forward and bowed slightly, then led the Princess Zhaoyang into Xiuhe Manor and ordered Eunuch Hai to serve tea.
Princess Zhaoyang sat down and said with a smile, "The Fourth Prince is indeed a handsome man, well-educated and well-mannered. Not bad, not bad. The young are truly formidable."
He started praising me as soon as I came up!
This operation is a bit showy.
Situ Xiu smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Princess. I will be proud."
At this time, the servant brought tea over, placing one cup on Princess Zhaoyang's side and one cup on Situ Xiu's side.
"My aunt came to see me. I wonder what gifts she brought." Situ Xiu said bluntly.
Princess Zhaoyang just picked up the tea and took a sip when her face froze. She didn't expect Situ Xiu to be so direct.
In fact, she didn't bring anything today and came here with a purpose.
Princess Zhaoyang forced a smile and said, "I came in a hurry and forgot to bring anything. I'll try next time."
"Nothing, I just asked casually, but from what my aunt said, it seems that she came to me for something, I wonder what it is."
Situ Xiu smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip, thinking that the visitor had bad intentions.
"I have nothing else to say this time. I heard that you passed the new agricultural products to the nearby villagers. I want you to take them back. Don't spread these things, and don't allow outsiders to grow them."
Princess Zhaoyang put down her teacup, her tone unyielding and her manner overbearing.
“Should we also give you the agricultural products?”
You must be a fool.
Situ Xiu blinked, looking innocent.
Situ Xiu blinked, looking innocent.
Situ Xiu blinked, looking innocent.
Princess Zhaoyang looked extremely satisfied and nodded, saying, "You're so smart at such a young age. Not bad. I wish you weren't a man... What a pity."
Princess Zhaoyang looked at Situ Xiu with a look of appreciation for his talent and a bit of regret.
"Really? Show him out."
Situ Xiu said with a smile.
It really proves the saying that one does not visit a temple unless he has something to ask for.
We haven't seen each other for so many years, and there is no talk of affection or family ties. But as soon as she came, she asked for his agricultural products. She treated him like a child and was intoxicated by his casual praise and obediently handed over his agricultural products.
Even if you are a member of the royal family, the empress hasn't said anything yet, so it's not your turn to come to my Xiuhe Village to ask for things.
see a visitor out?
Princess Zhaoyang's face darkened. She suppressed her emotions and said in a deep voice, "Fourth Prince, what did you say?"
"Don't you understand? Show up." Situ Xiu said unhappily.
Princess Zhaoyang narrowed her eyes, looked at Situ Xiu again, and said coldly, "This is how you talk to your elders. That's how the Empress taught you to disrespect your elders."
"elder?"
Situ Xiu laughed and shook his head, "I haven't seen you for so many years. What kind of elder are you? You come to me without a gift. What kind of elder are you? You want me to hand over my things and you don't give me anything. You are trying to get something for nothing. What kind of elder are you?"
After three questions, Situ Xiu sneered, "If you are not from the royal family, you can't enter Xiuhe Manor, and you can't drink this cup of tea."
"As for my mother, the Empress, she taught me so many things, and one of them is that I have learned: no one can force me to do something I don't want to do."
