Chapter 1365 Return to Beijing
Yudie paid the money, but still wanted to buy the fabric in the young master's hand. Yudie stood there without leaving, her eyes never concealed. The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, "Miss Zhou, do you have any other fabrics you like?"
Yudie stared at the material in the young master's hand. The shopkeeper had already walked quickly to Young Master Liu, stretched out his fat hand and took out the material. "But this piece?"
Young Master Liu looked at his empty palm. He was not paying attention just now and the material he liked was gone. He stretched out his hand to grab it back, but in the end, he did not make any move.
Yudie was embarrassed, "Does this gentleman still want it?"
Young Master Liu wants it, and this is the most suitable material within his budget. However, the lady opposite is too generous, and he can no longer lower the price, as the shopkeeper will not agree.
Yuyi smiled and said to the shopkeeper, "We have bought enough. Let's go."
As she said that, Yuyi stepped forward and held Yudie's hand. Yudie obediently let her fourth sister hold her.
The shopkeeper's eyes were filled with regret. He watched Miss Zhou, who looked like the God of Wealth, leave with a sigh, "Ah."
The second young master Liu twitched his lips and said, "The shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper looked down at the material in his hand and said, "The lowest price is ninety taels."
Young Master Liu wanted to say fifty-two taels, but seeing the shopkeeper's expression that he would leave immediately if he dared to tell him, he touched his purse with a painful look, "Eighty, eighty taels."
The shopkeeper said, "Deal."
Second Master Liu, "!!"
The shopkeeper tricked him, and although he was careful, he kept his word. He could only bear the pain and take out the banknote, remembering Miss Zhou in his heart!
In the jewelry shop, Zhulan selected some jewelry for her granddaughter and waited for the shopkeeper to settle the bill.
"Madam, what a coincidence to see you today."
Zhulan saw that it was Ran Qi, Ran Wan's aunt, "It's you."
Qi looked over the selected jewelry and said, "The old lady really loves her granddaughter."
She knew the Zhou family very well about the relationship between the two families. As a woman herself, who wouldn’t envy the Zhou girls?
Zhulan didn't like Qi in her heart, but she wouldn't show it. Qi was just a representative of some ignorant women in the ancient harem. She explained, "Most of it was given to my granddaughter."
Qi was silent. That's right. After the Zhou family became rich, they also gave dowries to their daughters who were getting married. The eldest daughter of Zhou, who had no sense of existence back then, has been known by more and more people in recent years. "I heard from my mother-in-law that your granddaughter will get married next year."
"Yes, I'll be getting married next year."
The shopkeeper came back after doing the accounting, Qi went to choose jewelry, Zhulan took the maid downstairs, and Yudie and others had already returned.
Zhulan, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"
Yudie replied, "No more."
Zhulan and her group got on the carriage. The maid was holding a few boxes, which looked quite impressive.
Second Master Liu stood beside his carriage in a sullen manner, "The Zhou family is really wealthy."
He had already known from the shopkeeper who the family was. This was the family his father wanted to arrange a marriage for him, and one of the girls mentioned just now was the one his parents liked!
In Zhangzhou, Zhou Shuren accompanied the prince for a walk around the city gate and then returned. Zhou Shuren watched the prince only stay in front of a shed, then left with emotion.
Zhou Shuren said to the prince, "Not bad."
The fishing method of this fish is becoming more and more like that of the retired emperor. I think the retired emperor liked to use bait to fish the most.
The prince smiled shyly, "I'm still a long way from that!"
Lord Yan had a wooden face. A serious person like him would never do such a thing.
The carriage was driving on the streets in the city. Because of the prince, the snow in the city had been basically cleared away, and the shops on both sides of the street had reopened.
The prince was used to the prosperity of the capital. "The streets of Zhangzhou City are really deserted. It's almost New Year's Day, and the streets are not busy at all."
Zhou Shuren, "The people have no money."
The prince was silent, "Still poor."
The carriage suddenly stopped, and the prince staggered and almost fell down due to inertia. Zhou Shuren reacted quickly and pulled him back, but his old arm was stretched and he hissed in pain!
The prince steadied himself and heard the sound, and asked hurriedly, "Where is the injury?"
Zhou Shuren rubbed his stretched arm and moved it again, "It's a little stretched."
The prince looked unhappy, and Lord Yan had already asked, "Why did you stop the car?"
The guard driving the carriage was so frightened that sweat broke out on his forehead. He looked at the girl kneeling in front of him with a sullen face and said, "There is a girl holding the carriage."
The prince didn't even look at it, "Open it, let's go back to the inn."
The guard on horseback behind the carriage dismounted and picked up the girl on the ground to make way.
The girl was also a little frightened. When she came to her senses and wanted to shout, her mouth was covered and she could only make sobbing sounds.
Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you go down and take a look?"
The prince was unhappy, "How talented am I? Do these people think I am a lecher?"
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, the Emperor had taught the prince that his own safety came first. No matter who had stopped the carriage just now, the prince would not have gotten off. What if it was an assassin?
Besides, the people around the prince are not just there to do the work, and I don’t know who came up with the idea of blocking the prince’s carriage. It’s really stupid.
After returning to the inn, Zhou Shuren saw the imperial physician about his arm. The physician told him not to exert any force on his arm in the next few days and that he would be fine after a few days of rest.
Zhou Shuren said, "It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Now my arm is sprained. I think I need to rest for a month."
This way I don’t have to go back to the Ministry of Revenue when I return to Beijing, and I can take a vacation directly until next year. It’s so wonderful just thinking about it.
The doctor felt the prince's gaze and said, "It will be less than a month before we return to the capital and he will be almost fully recovered."
Zhou Shuren waved his hand, "I want to rest."
The prince sat aside, "It's already the end of the year."
What I mean is don’t worry about taking more rest, there are plenty of days off during the Chinese New Year.
Zhou Shuren asked, "You should know the reason why the carriage was stopped by now, why don't you ask?"
Prince, "Your Excellency is very curious?"
"I just want to know who is so stupid."
Prince, "I want to set off tomorrow."
"Okay."
In the end, the prince did not go out to inquire about the girl's condition or what happened afterwards. The Tongzhi of Zhangzhou took the girl away without the prince ever showing up.
In the capital, the emperor was looking at the news sent back. All of them were about the prince. It could be said that every word and action of the prince was recorded in the news. This was not surveillance, but the emperor wanted to know about his son's growth.
The emperor was very dissatisfied with Lord Yan and his eyes darkened.
Eunuch Zhang came in, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has arrived."
The emperor also confiscated the news on the table. Seeing the King of Qin signaling that there was no need for formalities, he took out the food and grass that the grassland tribe had asked for help, and said, "Take a look."
Rong Chuan watched carefully, his expression becoming increasingly uglier, and he said sarcastically, "Ha, you really dare to speak up."
Your Majesty, "This also shows that we are wealthy in the eyes of the grassland tribes."
Rongchuan put down the folder in his hand, "The country's development in recent years is obvious to all, and some tribes on the grassland are ready to make a move."
Some tribes were crippled by the war, but they have been recuperating for many years. This time they come to ask for help, which is also a test.
