Princess Huyang is dressed in jewels and looks gorgeous today.
Just a set of emerald head jewelry is worth five or six thousand taels.
Enough to blind people.
Gu Jiu, on the other hand, was dressed very simply, wearing only a ruby hairpin, without any earrings or bracelets.
She smiled and said to Princess Huyang, "Aunt, your outfit today is elegant, dignified, and eye-catching."
Princess Huyang laughed heartily, her smugness evident in her expression.
"You sent someone to tell me to be imposing and to suppress the people from the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion. Look, I dressed like this on purpose."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, aunt."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. I never thought that Uncle Cheng En was so shameless that he would have the nerve to snatch my business. When I see him later, I will spit at him."
Gu Jiu reminded: "He is an elder."
Hu Yang snorted, not afraid at all. "Elders should act like elders. He is shameless and wants to steal the business of the younger generation without regard for his dignity. Why should I be afraid? Nephew's wife, you don't have to be afraid of him. I support you."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, and said sincerely: "Thank you for supporting me, aunt. I will rely on you in a while."
Princess Huyang laughed out loud, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
The carriage wobbled and finally arrived at the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion.
The butler opened the side door to greet him.
“Stop!”
Hu Yang was furious. He opened the car door and pointed at the butler who came to greet him. "I'm a guest, so please open the side door. You are so powerful in the Cheng En Marquis' Mansion. My nephew and his wife, we can't accept this invitation. Go back!"
Butler Zhu was stunned, standing there in the wind, looking disheveled.
What's going on?
Why is Princess Huyang here?
He's already showing off before he even enters the house. What does that mean? Does he look down on the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion?
He looked through the door at Gu Jiu in the carriage.
No good intentions!
Gu Jiu looked embarrassed, and glanced at Butler Zhu with grievance, and then pulled the sleeve of Princess Huyang, "Aunt, he is just a servant, don't bother with him."
Hu Yang snorted, "My nephew's wife, you are too kind-hearted, that's why you are bullied and abused.
Back in Yuhua Lane, the Li family picked all sorts of fights and even dared to secretly set fire. Now the Zhu family has come along. Do you really think the Lady of Prince Ning's Mansion is easy to bully?
Don't be afraid today, I'll take charge of the situation for you. If anyone dares to bully you because you're younger than me, I'll tear his mouth apart."
Gu Jiu lowered his head in grievance, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, like a cat that had stolen some fish.
"But..." Her voice was weak and she felt aggrieved.
"No buts. The main gate of the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion won't be open to welcome you and me in today. Never mind any invitations. We're not making an appointment. Do you understand?"
Gu Jiu's eyes moistened, and he nodded timidly, "I heard it. I will listen to my aunt."
Then, she said to Butler Zhu outside, "Butler, go tell Master Bo that today's invitation is cancelled. I'm so sorry to have troubled Master Bo with all the preparations."
After that, she told the driver, "Go back."
Eh?
That's not right!
How could things turn out like this.
"Madam Zhao, please wait." Butler Zhu was anxious. The old man was waiting, how could he let him go?
Gu Jiu frowned slightly, "Is there anything else?"
"Madam Zhao, now that you're here, you should at least go in and have a cup of tea. The uncle is waiting for you."
Gu Jiu shook his head. "Butler, today I'm here with the princess. I'm a junior, so it's okay for me to go through the side door. But the princess can't be wronged. Since the Earl's Mansion can't open the main door to welcome us in, why don't we make an appointment next time?"
Princess Huyang cooperated by holding her head high, snorting, and breathing out through her nostrils.
She acted arrogantly, as if she was the boss and everyone else was trash. If you don’t give her face, she would embarrass all of her.
Butler Zhu was in a lot of trouble.
He never expected that Gu Jiu would bring along Princess Huyang, the troublemaker, to the banquet.
Is there such an operation?
Marquis Cheng'en Zhu Ci did not invite Princess Huyang, so why should she come?
Butler Zhu said, "Madam Zhao, this invitation is only for you. Why don't you come in with me and have a cup of tea with the uncle first? We can discuss the rest later, okay?"
"Why?" Princess Huyang pointed at Butler Zhu's nose and cursed, "You, the Zhu family, are so shameless. You took advantage of my eldest nephew's wife because she's young and pregnant, and you wanted to trick her into coming in and let you do whatever you want with her.
I tell you, there are no doors or windows. I have also invested in the project outside the South City Gate. If you want to discuss business, fine, ask for my opinion first. Otherwise, no discussion."
Gu Jiu smiled sheepishly at Butler Zhu, "Butler, you've seen it too. This project has always been the decision of the Princess. Lord Bo wants to ask me to discuss something, but I'm afraid I'm powerless. I can't make the decision on anything related to the South City Gate, so please forgive me."
Butler Zhu's eyebrows twitched, causing the muscles on his face to tremble twice.
Madam Zhao, when you say this, have you ever considered the feelings of others? You bully everyone with a serious face, don't you feel guilty?
You are so young, how can you learn to be shameless?
Everyone knows about the project outside the South City Gate, and you're the sole decision-maker. Even His Majesty only invests money but doesn't interfere with the management.
You lied with your eyes open, saying that the project outside the South City Gate was the responsibility of Princess Huyang. Do you think we are all idiots?
Everyone knows that Princess Huyang is just a royal fool!
Madam Zhao, please stop pretending, okay?
Even though we have never met you directly, it doesn’t mean we don’t know what you are like in your daily life.
You are clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing, why are you pretending to be a weak little white rabbit?
Butler Zhu opened his mouth, about to retort. Behind him, the main door of the Earl's Mansion opened from the inside, and two rows of servants stood on either side of the door. "Welcome the Princess, Madam."
Butler Zhu was stunned. He quickly ran to the door and asked quietly, "What's going on?"
"Master Bo has ordered the central gate to be opened to welcome the two distinguished guests. Butler, please hurry up, Master Bo is waiting."
Butler Zhu wiped the sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth, bowed and shouted, "Welcome the two distinguished guests."
The carriage started slowly and entered the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion through the middle gate.
Inside the carriage, Princess Huyang asked excitedly, "Nephew-in-law, how did I behave just now?"
Gu Jiu praised with a smile: "Excellent. Keep it like this."
Princess Huyang was full of fighting spirit. "Don't worry, if I don't make that old fellow Zhu Ci realize his mistake today, I will take his last name."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled. Even if Zhu Ci had the courage of a millionaire, he wouldn't dare let the princess take his surname. Unless he wanted to die.
The carriage drove directly into the courtyard garden.
Nanny Fang personally helped Gu Jiu get off the carriage, "Madam, be careful."
Gu Jiu stepped onto a bench and got off the carriage, looking around.
What a beautiful Jiangnan garden scenery.
In the middle of summer, you can actually feel a slight coolness in the garden.
He is worthy of being the richest man in Beijing and a wealthy businessman for generations.
With Gu Jiu's sharp vision, every scene in this garden was created with huge investment.
People who don’t know much about the business may think that the Zhu family is unremarkable and low-key.
Little did they know that they were extravagant in every way, and that in the end they returned to simplicity. The amount of money and thought that went into every detail would be shocking.
The Zhu family is low-key, yet understatedly luxurious and classy. They are worthy of being a wealthy merchant family that has been operating for hundreds of years. Even though they are merchants, they are aristocrats among merchants. They may not be classy at all, but they exude class everywhere.
"Princess, Madam Zhao, please come this way. My uncle has been waiting for you in the pavilion ahead."
Gu Jiu said politely, "How dare I trouble you, Master, to wait. Butler, please lead the way quickly."
Butler Zhu led the way in front, while Gu Jiu and Hu Yang followed behind.
Princess Huyang whispered to her, "The Zhu family's garden is quite nice."
Huyang was born to spend money. He was professionally trained in the royal family and had very high standards.
Just a few glances and you can see that the Zhu family's garden is ingenious.
This is different from Gu Jiu's vicious vision.
Gu Jiu was able to tell the difference because he had studied it in depth.
Huyang was born a princess and was influenced by her family since she was a child. She believed that anything that was not as good as hers was not a good thing and was worthless.
Think about where her home is? In the palace!
Taking the imperial palace as an example, whose furnishings are qualified to be considered good by Huyang?
It just so happened that the Zhu family's garden caught Huyang's eye.
It can be seen that this garden is truly ingenious, and every inch of it is paved with money.
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "Aunt is right, this garden is really nice and cool."
Hu Yang snorted, "It'll cost a lot of money."
Jealousy has completely changed Huyang.
Everyone says the Zhu family is rich, and today I finally got to see it.
The two followed Butler Zhu to the pavilion, where Marquis Cheng'en Zhu Ci sat in the main seat.
