"Thank you? No need. I just talked and didn't do anything."
Talking to him about 'win-win cooperation' was just a coincidence, not something I taught him on purpose. After all, the reason why he was able to successfully solve the problem of malicious competition among businesses was mainly due to his own efforts, and Jiang Ranli dared not take credit for it.
Seeing her refusal, Wu Yanqing paused his smile and sighed, "If it weren't for your reminder, how could I have solved the problem? Li'er, if you don't accept it, how can I dare to ask you for advice in the future?"
His words were so serious that Jiang Ranli didn't know how to refuse.
Seeing her hesitation, Wu Yanqing opened the brocade box, revealing an exquisitely crafted hollow gold hairpin.
When Jiang Ranli saw it, her eyes widened slightly. The thank-you gift from Wu Yanqing was really too valuable.
"Yanqing, this is too valuable, I can't..."
Before he could even utter the word "collect", Wu Yanqing stuffed the golden hairpin into Jiang Ranli's hand and said, "Now that you have touched it, you must be responsible for it. You must not be an irresponsible master."
I've only heard that in ancient times, men had to take responsibility if they touched women. Does that mean they also have to take responsibility if they touch objects?
Jiang Ranli was a little dumbfounded. When she came to her senses, the Fourteenth Prince was standing in front of her, talking to Wu Yanqing.
"The Emperor was very satisfied after reading the list for this tour. Thank you for your hard work."
"As long as the emperor is satisfied, this little bit of hard work doesn't matter."
Hearing the word "patrol", Jiang Ranli's spirits suddenly became full.
"Fourteenth Master, are you going to accompany the Emperor on his tour to the frontier?"
In fact, Jiang Ranli wanted to ask them when they would leave, but if she asked too directly, people would see through her clues, so she had to ask indirectly.
The Fourteenth Prince glanced at Jiang Ranli and said with a smile, "Why, are you reluctant to let me leave?"
Can't bear to part with him? Stop being ridiculous.
Jiang Ranli said that she was not reluctant to leave the Fourteenth Prince, but she wished he would leave quickly. That way, her snack shop would have one less freeloader and she could earn more money.
Ever since he used a trick to recognize Jiang Ranli's identity, Fourteenth Prince has been grabbing her pigtail and coming to the snack bar to eat and drink for free whenever he has nothing to do. Sometimes he would even pack up the food and take it away when he was in a good mood. Whenever Jiang Ranli thought of this, she couldn't help but feel distressed. All the things he ate and took away were worth a lot of silver.
"Yes, I just can't bear to leave you. I can't bear to see you leave."
After spending a long time with the Fourteenth Prince, Jiang Ranli discovered that he was a very cheerful and generous person. No matter what jokes were made with him, he would not get angry. Therefore, she became more casual when talking to him.
Seeing that Jiang Ranli looked as if he couldn't wait for him to leave, the Fourteenth Prince sighed helplessly, "Look at your money-grubber face. Okay, don't worry about the things in your store. I'm leaving at the beginning of May."
As he spoke, the Fourteenth Prince reached out and tapped Jiang Ranli on the forehead, then walked towards the box on the second floor with a big laugh.
Wu Yanqing looked at Jiang Ranli, whose face turned red with anger, and felt a lot of envy in his heart. In fact, he wanted to put a gold hairpin on Jiang Ranli just now, but he didn't have the courage. He didn't dare to touch her because he was worried that she would think he was a lecher and dislike him.
Although Jiang Ranli was very angry about being criticized by the Fourteenth Prince, he got an important piece of information, that is, they would leave the capital with Emperor Kangxi in early May and go on a tour to the frontier.
