"Now that we're all full, let's rest. When the sun sets, we'll set off."
On the first floor of the inn, Xiahou Jing, disguised as an old Taoist nun, first glanced speechlessly at the five empty bowls neatly stacked in front of Hua Qingcheng, then glanced at Xiahou Yu and Gongyang Jiezhen, and then stood up, walked up the stairs and entered the room.
Xiahou Yu followed Xiahou Jing closely, while Gongyang Jiezhen gave Hua Qingcheng a meaningful glance and then also went up the stairs.
Hua Qingcheng raised her eyebrows slightly, but thinking that Hua Rongsheng's wife and husband were still in the other party's hands, she could only endure it for the time being and followed Gong Yang Jiezhen into the same room.
"Senior Sister Miaozhen, if you don't sleep, then I won't be polite!"
Seeing Gongyang Jiezhen sitting at the table in the room, Hua Qingcheng walked straight to the bed, lay down comfortably, and stretched out in a "big" shape.
Hua Qingcheng had been on the boat since leaving the capital, and her body ached from exhaustion. Now, lying on her bed, she felt alive again.
However, the corner of her eye seemed to glance at Gong Yang Jiezhen who seemed worried.
"What's wrong? Are you missing your lover?" Hua Qingcheng raised the corner of her mouth and said jokingly.
Gongyang Jiezhen glanced at the woman lying on the bed with disdain and said helplessly, "You talk about men all day long. No wonder Xia Houjing calls you 'abstinent'!"
Hua Qingcheng lay on her side, chin in her hand, whistled at Gongyang Jiezhen, and said in a sly tone, "I also want to 'quit sex,' but unfortunately the men around me won't agree! What about you? Don't you miss those handsome men in the backyard of your Luo Palace?"
Gongyang Jiezhen, who was originally wondering whether Gongyang Yuheng had arrived in Youzhou, couldn't help but think of the elegant and handsome face of the Second Young Master Feng after hearing Hua Qingcheng's words, and a shy blush appeared on her cheeks.
"It seems... you have thought about it?!" The sharp-eyed Hua Qingcheng caught the change in Gongyang Jiezhen's expression and asked curiously.
Gongyang Jiezhen glared at Hua Qingcheng fiercely, "Don't talk nonsense! The little prince is still unmarried."
However, as if unable to suppress her inner curiosity, Gongyang Jiezhen couldn't help but ask, "Second Young Master Feng... he's your uncle, right? What... what are his hobbies?"
Hua Qingcheng's lips twitched slightly when she heard this. She had never expected that Gong Yang Jiezhen would actually...actually fall for her own father?!
"Ah?! You mean Second Young Master Feng? He, he usually..."
Hua Qingcheng's words stopped abruptly. She first stretched out a hand towards Gongyang Jiezhen, and then she rubbed her thumb and index finger, signaling the other party to be smart. If she wanted to spy on the information, she would have to pay some price.
"Haha, Nalan Qingcheng, you are already a princess, but you are still so obsessed with money?!" Gongyang Jiezhen said as she took out a gold ingot from her arms and threw it on the bed.
Hua Qingcheng caught the gold steadily, and seeing that it was of good quality, she nodded with satisfaction, and threw it directly onto the living room table in the space villa under the cover of her clothes.
"Second Young Master Feng is indeed a handsome man of unrivaled elegance. Not only is he handsome and has an extraordinary bearing, but he is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting." Hua Qingcheng, who was grateful for the favor, immediately began to praise Feng Lingyan.
"What else?" Gongyang Jiezhen, whose interest was piqued, asked curiously.
Hua Qingcheng, lying on her side on the bed, glanced at Gongyang Jiezhen leisurely, then reached out to her again and rubbed her fingers.
Gongyang Jiezhen's mouth twitched slightly, and she said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't I just give it to you? Besides, a nail of gold, and all you get for these few words?"
"Ahem... Senior Sister Miaozhen, that's the Second Young Master Feng, the Second Young Master Feng from the heavily guarded General's Mansion! You might as well ask other people for information and see what you can gain." Hua Qingcheng said in a vulgar tone.
Seeing this, Gongyang Jiezhen helplessly took out another ingot of gold and threw it to Hua Qingcheng.
Hua Qingcheng, who had obtained the gold, once again showed an aunt-like, oh no, uncle-like smile on her face.
Then, she said seriously, "Second Young Master Feng has a special liking for the delicacies of Jinghuayuan snacks, and he is obsessed with the ready-made clothes from the shops under Lingqing Trading Company. He only uses fabrics from Lingqing Cloth Shop. He even only buys rice, flour, grain and oil from Lingqing Rice and Grain Shop. He..."
Gong Yang Jiezhen, who found the story more and more outrageous, asked in confusion, "Is this true or false?"
She really couldn't imagine that a handsome and elegant man like Mr. Feng would have a special liking for snacks and be obsessed with gorgeous clothes...
As if seeing through Gongyang Jiezhen's thoughts, Hua Qingcheng immediately said, "Even though Second Young Master Feng is handsome and has an otherworldly aura like an immortal, he's still just a mortal after all! What's so strange about that?"
However, what Hua Qingcheng could not have imagined was that her casual joke at that moment would become the opportunity for Jinghuayuan snacks and Lingqing business to have branches all over Lengyue Country in the future.
Gongyang Jiezhen glanced at Hua Qingcheng, then quickly took out a stack of banknotes from her bosom, strode to the bedside, slapped it in front of her face, and said domineeringly: "Tell me everything you know!"
Hua Qingcheng didn't even blink as she picked up the thick stack of banknotes on the bed, muttering, "You don't know how expensive food and clothing are until you manage a household. I have a whole family to support, how can I not make more money?!"
Before she finished speaking, she tossed the banknotes through the cover of her clothes into her personal space. After putting the banknotes away, Hua Qingcheng continued to talk nonsense...
About half an hour later, Hua Qingcheng used the excuse that she was exhausted and needed to rest, so she simply dropped her work and fell asleep. No matter how Gongyang Jiezhen gritted her teeth and pulled her, Hua Qingcheng ignored her.
Gongyang Jiezhen, who was feeling very annoyed after listening to the words halfway, decided to go out for a walk to relax.
On the other side, after seeing that Xiahou Jing and the others were still, Bai Yuheng said to Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun, "Auntie Hua, Uncle Ye, there's no time to lose. Let's get out of here while Xiahou Jing and the others are resting."
"Okay, okay..." Hua Rongsheng and her husband nodded repeatedly.
Immediately afterwards, Hua Rongsheng hurriedly supported Ye Maochun and followed Bai Yuheng out of the room.
However, just as they reached the stairs, they met Gong Yang Jiezhen who was out to relax.
"Royal brother?" Gongyang Jiezhen called out tentatively to the white figure in front of Hua Rongsheng and his wife.
