Chapter 47 Deal!
Luo Li received two invitations at the same time. One was from Yang Yanqi, who invited her to Tianbo Yang Mansion to discuss the purchase of the manor. The other was from Concubine Li Xian in the palace, who invited Princess Qin to attend a flower viewing banquet.
Qin Wang Zhao Defang happened to be eating in Ningxin Garden.
Luo Li asked him in confusion, "Isn't Concubine Li Xian's annual flower viewing banquet to pimp those unmarried noble ladies and sons of aristocratic families? She sent me an invitation and asked me to attend. What's so annoying about it?"
Qin Wang put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief elegantly. He took the tea handed over by Yingchun and cleaned his mouth, with a hint of teasing smile in his deep eyes.
Then he answered slowly: "Of course I saw you were stupid, so I invited you to help with the fun."
Luo Li was not worried, but her eyes were bright and she was very excited!
"So, there is no danger for me to enter the palace? Invite a fool like me to help with the fun! Then I must give a good performance."
The King of Qin glanced helplessly at the princess who was not ashamed of being a fool, but proud of it. He
made up his mind. Although he did not receive an invitation, he would also go to the palace to see how his stupid princess was embarrassing herself?
... ~~
Luo Li naturally could not wear men's clothes when she visited Tianbo Yang Mansion this time.
Yingchun was punished to stay at home because she did not memorize her homework well. She took Hong Gu, Tingting and Yuli out of Ningxinyuan.
Two palace guards were standing at the gate of the courtyard. Luo Li looked at Mo Wen and Mo Yan, who were wearing ordinary guard uniforms, in surprise.
"Why did you two, the secret guards who specialize in hiding in snake nests and rat holes, run out into the sunlight?"
Mo Wen's mouth twitched!
The princess's mouth was too damaged, and she really couldn't spit out nice words.
"Report to the princess! We are shadow guards. We usually don't hide in snake nests and rat holes, but in the shadows of eaves and trees.
The prince ordered us to stop being shadow guards in the future and to be your personal bodyguards!" Mo Wen said with gritted teeth.
He couldn't be the prince's shadow guard anymore!
Luo Li said happily, "You two are both skilled in martial arts and good at calling. You are great to be my bodyguards. However, men and women should not touch each other, so there is no need for close contact."
Mo Wen's mouth twitched again!
Is a close bodyguard the same as "close contact"? We would never dare to do that even if we were beaten to death!
Hong Gu hurried the carriage, while Luo Li and Ting Ting sat in the spacious and luxurious carriage of the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
Mo Wen and Mo Yan rode tall horses to guard the carriage.
The flourishing flowers in Bianjing City also made the streets busy with traffic and pedestrians. It took more than half an hour for the carriage to arrive at the gate of Tianbo Yang Mansion.
Luo Li had long known that the storytelling she heard from her grandfather's small radio in her previous life could not be fully trusted.
On the high arched gate tower of the Tianbo Yang Mansion, there is a gilded plaque with the words "Yang Mansion". But the stone for "civil officials to dismount from their sedan chairs and military officials
to dismount from their horses" does not exist yet. Perhaps it is because Yang Ye, the Golden Sword Lord, has not yet been promoted to the rank
of Grand Commandant due to his meritorious service? But the Yang Mansion, located by the Tianbo Jinshui Lake, is by no means as grand as the Qin Palace. Even if the Yang family is rich, the regulations do not allow it.
The large martial arts field in the Tianbo Yang Mansion scenic area in later generations does not exist. No military general dared to set up such a large military parade ground in the mansion. At most, there was a small parade ground for martial arts training.
Anyway, the seven brothers and eight tigers of the Yang family do not exist. Yang Yanqi said that she only has two brothers, the eldest brother Yang Yanping and the second brother Yang Yanzhao.
As the saying goes, seeing is believing, especially hearing a thousand years later. So Luo Li didn't dare to make judgments about the people and things in her current situation based on what she heard from storytelling in her previous life.
Yang Yanqi had been waiting at the door early, looking forward to it. When she saw the carriage coming, she immediately greeted it with a smile on her face.
Yang Yanqi, who was used to seeing Luo Li in men's clothes, was almost blinded when she saw the female version of Luo Li getting out of the carriage!
"Wow! Damn! Luo Li, no wonder you brag about your appearance every day, saying it is rare in heaven and hard to find on earth. It turns out that you deliberately put on rough makeup when you are dressed in men's clothes! When you
dress up as a woman, my heart is moved by you again!"
Luo Li went up and gave her a pink fist, "I tell you not to learn my colloquial language. There is no way to control it with Yu Li, and no one else is allowed to learn it."
Yu Li giggled and said, "Miss, these interjections of yours can especially release your excited mood. When the time comes, you will blurt out. I am afraid I can't change it in my lifetime."
Yang Yanqi took Luo Li into the Yang Mansion, talking and laughing, and went straight to the residence of the mother, Lady She, in the main courtyard.
Sure enough!
The old lady She in the storytelling, with her silver hair and dragon-shaped cane, did not exist at all.
She was only about 40 years old and tall. Her oval face looked like Yang Yanqi, with long eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, and a heroic look.
She greeted Luo Li at the door with a smile on her face. When she saw Luo Li, she bowed and said
, "Your servant She Saihua greets the Princess of Qin."
Luo Li was startled and
quickly stepped forward to hold her. : "Don't be so polite, old lady! Yanqi and I are good friends who are as close as sisters. You can just treat me as a junior."
Lady She took the opportunity to straighten her back. A young and beautiful woman behind her bowed down in a sincere manner, "Your concubine pays homage to the Princess of Qin."
Luo Li quickly jumped over and picked her up.
: "Don't be so polite! I am visiting you today as a friend of Yanqi. You are so polite that I dare not visit you anymore in the future."
Luo Li's performance made everyone laugh!
The Princess of Qin's straightforward and lively personality really suits the taste of the Yang family.
After entering the house and taking their seats, Lady She looked at the silly princess that the King of Qin had just married in the legend and was secretly amazed!
She had known for a long time that her daughter's friend had a brain problem, but she had never thought that she was so beautiful.
Looking at the spirit flashing in her bright and clear eyes, how could she look like a fool with a brain disease? I don't know why she was called a fool?
It took only a cup of tea for the Qin Wangfei's casual, cheerful, generous and lively personality to win the favor of Lady She.
No wonder her precious daughter admires and loves her.
Give gifts first before asking for favors! Luo Li took over a large red lacquered wooden box that Tingting was holding behind her.
She smiled, "Aunt, Luo Li is visiting you for the first time, and I brought some gifts for you and sister-in-law. They are all made by me and the maids. Do you like them?"
Lady She took them over personally, "I have heard from Yan Qi a long time ago that the Princess of Qin is very smart and dexterous, and the things she makes must be excellent."
Luo Li smiled mischievously, "Intelligence doesn't seem to be related to me. I am just a silly girl with a brain disease. But everyone likes the things made by a playful person like me."
Lady She and her daughter-in-law were amused by Luo Li's words.
Lady She opened the box and said, "Only a real fool will not admit that he is a fool! Only a wise man would not care about being called a fool."
Luo Li praised proudly, "Aunt, you have a good idea! I, a fool, specialize in being the nemesis of those "smart people."
Lady She looked at the box full of perfume, shampoo and soap, toothpaste, toothbrush and other things, and smiled happily.
: "Princess Qin is so thoughtful! These good things cannot be bought with any amount of money. Ever since you gave Yanqi a set, my daughter-in-law and I have been coveting them!"
Luo Li immediately promised, "As long as you and your sister-in-law like them, I will pay for all the perfumes and soaps used by the women in the Yang Mansion in the future!"
: "Then I won't be polite with you! After all, only you, Princess Qin, have such rare treasures." Lady She said readily.
Lady She took out a land deed from her bosom and said, "I heard from Yan Qi that the Princess of Qin wants to buy the Yang family's farm in the west of the city. This is the land deed.
When the farm and land were first purchased, a total of 12,000 taels of silver were spent. Princess, you should give it to me at this price!"
Luo Li waved her hands hastily, "How can this be? Absolutely not!
The land prices in the capital have skyrocketed in recent years, and the farms and land outside the city have also doubled or tripled. Are you willing to give the farm to me? I am so grateful, how can I take advantage of you in the price.
Aunt, let's do this! I will give you 40,000 taels of silver, which is about the same as the current official price. Let's sign and seal it according to this price!"
Lady She put away the deed and said, "No one except you, Princess Qin, will sell this manor of the Yang family. The price is not more than 12,000 taels. It seems that we can't make a deal today!"
Luo Li jumped up from the chair in a hurry!
"Deal!"
Lady She laughed heartily! She took out the deed from her arms again.
Yang Yanqi beside her laughed so hard that her stomach hurt!
The straightforward and cheerful and a little naughty nature of her own mother, when met with the lively and interesting soul of Luo Li, can really collide to create sparks of happiness.
Luo Li sat in the carriage happily, holding the land deed that she would not sell unless she was the Princess of Qin and paid twelve thousand taels of silver. She
did not expect that the majestic old lady She in her imagination would be so generous, generous and lovely. I have to go to Yang Mansion more often in the future.
She told Hong Gu to drive the carriage to Luo Mansion. She wanted to see her parents and her lovely nephew, and there were beef and beef bones waiting for her in Luo Mansion! ...
Luo Li felt an eager sense of belonging when she saw the shadow of her own mansion.
Before the carriage stopped, she pushed Tingting away and jumped down. She stumbled and almost fell.
Hong Gu hurriedly pulled her back, and she did not fall flat on her face.
: "Miss, be careful!" Hong Gu reminded her distressedly while pulling the reins.
Luo Li smiled awkwardly: "It's okay!" Then she ran into the corner gate of Luo Mansion.
The doorman had already come over and greeted her warmly, "Miss, are you back?"
Luo Li also greeted him warmly, "Uncle Cui, I'm back!" Then he ran away and disappeared.
Yu Li quickly followed.
In the front yard, Luo Ning was directing three servants to unload the car. Seeing the figure of the young lady, he hurried forward to greet her.
: "Miss, you are back? I just pulled this car of fresh flower essential oil back from the manor."
Luo Li stepped forward and patted Luo Ning on the shoulder, "Do a good job! This young lady will help you chase a wife."
Luo Ning blushed, and two rosy clouds floated on his handsome face, looking like a shy girl.
: "Luoning, thank you, Miss!"
He looked behind the Miss eagerly, only to see Yuli running in quickly, and was a little disappointed.
Luo Li kicked him, "Tingting is behind! Go and greet her."
Luo Ning bowed and shouted, "Thank you, Miss!" and ran to the door.
Luo Li smiled and shouted to the back of this smart and clever boy!
"Luoning! Your Miss has created the opportunity for you. Whether you can get your wife depends on your own ability!"
Tingting, who came in with a bunch of gifts, blushed at the Miss's shout.
Seeing Luo Ning running in front of him, she glared at him angrily, "Why are you so clumsy? You won't let others laugh at you!"
Luo Ning smiled awkwardly, "Didn't the young lady send me to pick you up?" Then, he reached out to take the things Tingting was holding.
After sending Miss Tingting to the old lady's yard, Luo Ning reluctantly returned to the front yard to continue working.
As a servant of the Luo family, Luo Ning was extremely fortunate that his parents sold him into the Luo Mansion as a slave and chose a good master for him.
The old man and the lady were very kind to the servants, and the eldest son and the young lady were also humble and kind.
The second son, who was carefree and wanton, seemed to be careless and unserious, but treated him like his own brother.
Especially the young lady, although she would tease them when she was naughty, she really loved them as family members.
When he accidentally broke his leg at the age of twelve, the young lady cried with tears in her eyes and sent all the delicious and fun things to his house where he was recuperating.
The young lady fell into the water and was unconscious last year. After being accepted as a disciple by the goddess Luoshen in her dream, her mind was filled with many new and magical skills. The art of making ice was taught to him by the young lady and he was responsible for it.
Luo Ning was grateful to the second young master and the young lady for their trust.
He secretly fell in love with Tingting. When the young lady found out, she did not scold him for wanting to eat swan meat. Instead, she created opportunities for him and encouraged him to pursue his beloved.
The smile on Luo Ning's face while he was working was the sweetness from his heart.
