Chapter 43 Jiujiu has never ridden a big horse!

Riding a big horse?

Jiujiu has never ridden a big horse before!

Jiujiu heard that other children had fathers and brothers who let them ride big horses, and she also wanted to, but she didn't dare to say it directly. There was anticipation in her eyes.

The prince asked, "Ninety-nine?"

"Okay." Jiujiu agreed to the prince's request for half the chance to ride the big horse.

Aunt Gui beside her was a little worried: "Your Highness, I wonder if the Emperor will allow me to take the princess out of the palace?"

"Don't worry about that. I have already told my father and Concubine Li about this and have obtained their permission."

"That's good." Nanny Gui said, "It's almost autumn, and the weather is getting hot and cold. I'll get the princess a cloak before she leaves the palace."

"good."

After taking the cloak, Nanny Gui followed Jiujiu and the prince and his entourage out of the palace.

Yu Wanyin's father was no ordinary man when he was young. He was a well-known military general with great military achievements. It was only in recent years that he could no longer march and fight due to health reasons, so he retired and recuperated in the capital.

However, his tough temper did not soften as he left the battlefield.

Even if the current Crown Prince came to visit, after hearing the purpose of the Crown Prince's visit, he would still dare to remain sick and close the door to refuse visitor, not letting the Crown Prince in.

The prince was holding Jiujiu in his arms, standing at the gate of Yu Mansion, looking at the tightly closed red-painted door in front of him, his face full of shock.

He thought that General Yu would not easily marry his daughter to a royal family member for the sake of his daughter's happiness and to avoid being involved in the factional disputes among the princes, and would even make things difficult for his proposal. However, he did not expect that General Yu would not even let him in the door.

You really don't give me any face at all!

The prince was a little embarrassed and he coughed twice.

Not far in front of him, an autumn wind suddenly blew past, blowing up a pile of dry yellow leaves.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little bleak.

"I'll think of a solution."

The prince would not back down because of this setback. He was thinking about how to get in.

Jiujiu muttered to himself.

[After General Yu in the book retired from the battlefield, he particularly missed the taro that he and his brothers in the barracks often ate during the war.]

[But this capital city is full of flowers and precious things, except for taro, which is why General Yu misses it every day.]

[If the prince can get some taro and send it to General Yu, General Yu will definitely open the door.]

After hearing Jiujiu's voice, the prince felt as if he had finally seen the full moon after a cloud of sorrow had been cleared away. He sighed that bringing Jiujiu out was the wisest choice and said, "I heard that General Yu loves to eat taro. If I can get him some taro, he will definitely open the door."

【Brother Prince is really smart.】

【He thought of everything Jiujiu thought of.】

Qingque and Baiyi also nodded in agreement: "Your Highness is right."

Nanny Gui is a little worried: "But Your Highness, the soil in our capital is not suitable for growing taro. Many people don't even know about taro, let alone sell it. Where can we buy it?"

Aunt Gui is just old and has seen and heard a lot, so she knows about taro.

[If taro were easy to buy, General Yu wouldn't have missed it for so many years. ]

[Brother Prince will not be able to enter the Yu family with taro. ]

The prince agreed with Jiujiu's voice and said, "Everything depends on human effort. Qingque, Baiyi, use all the power under my command to find a way to get some taro?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Qingque and Baiyi went to do it.

The Tenth and Eleventh Princes, who were accompanying the Crown Prince, saw that the situation was difficult and helped him look for taro.

The prince did not wait any longer, he took Jiujiu to visit various places, asking where taro could be found. From small vegetable markets to big restaurants and caravans, he asked everywhere, not missing out on any possibility.

Jiujiu saw that the prince was having a hard time, and tried hard to recall where she could buy taro in the book.

She couldn't remember some of the details clearly, and it took her a long time to remember them.

[You can buy taro in the caravan, in the caravan in the West Market. ]

[There was a merchant who, in order to save money, carried taro with him all year round. In the book, when the master of the Yu family was about to die, Sister Yu helped him find taro day and night, and finally helped him buy it in the West Market.]

Jiujiu reminded: "Brother Crown Prince, I heard that there are many vendors from other places in the West Market. Where should we go to see?"

"good."

The prince went to the West Market and found some taro in a caravan.

The merchant brought it with him to fill his stomach during his business trip. He only ate some of it, and now there is a sack left.

The prince immediately took out a hundred taels of silver and said, "My dear, can you sell all these taro to me?"

These one hundred taels of silver are not a lot of money for the prince and are not worth mentioning.

But for the taro vendor, it was a lot of money. He had never seen so much money in his life.

Moreover, taro is worthless in his hometown. He brought it with him because it can make him feel full after eating it and he can save money on meals during his business trip.

The man in front of me, a fool with lots of money, no no no, the God of Wealth, actually treats it as a treasure? He even spends a hundred taels to buy it?

The vendor scratched his head, feeling somewhat guilty.

"Sir, it's not easy for me to bring these taro from a thousand miles away, but they are not worth a hundred taels. I am willing to sell them to you for ten taels of silver."

The merchant was an honest man and did not want the prince to spend too much money, so he only took what he deserved.

The prince looked at the merchant's shabby clothes, tired face, and cracked fingers, and said, "No, just one hundred taels."

"Just ten taels."

"He's not motivated to make money, there's something wrong with his brain." Qingque behind the prince couldn't stand it anymore and muttered.

Merchant: “…”

"How can you talk like that?" The prince glanced at Qingque, handed Jiujiu to Nanny Gui, and took out a hundred taels of silver from his bosom and stuffed it into the vendor's hand, "Just take it. If you have more taro in the future, you can continue to sell it to me."

The prince thought about having the merchants deliver the taro they brought directly to General Yu’s mansion, and he would just pay the money.

But he also felt that sending it directly to General Yu's home would not be more sincere and would be more likely to impress General Yu than if he bought it and delivered it personally.

Upon hearing this, the merchant did not hesitate any more. He accepted the banknote and felt grateful that he had met a great benefactor today.

The one hundred taels of silver were enough for him to treat his old mother's illness.

I can also make extra money from selling taro in the future.

Maybe, before long, he can save some money and get married.

The vendor's depressed mood due to lack of money over the years has finally improved a little, but his eyes are a little sore and he can't help but shed tears.

He rubbed his eyes and handed all the troublesome taro to Qingque.

After the prince and his entourage left with the taro, the merchant could no longer hold back, and he squatted on the ground, crying excitedly while holding the silver bill.

·

The prince carried Jiujiu to the door of General Yu's house again.

It was already dark by this time. If they couldn't get into General Yu's house and the prince was unwilling to give up easily, the group would have to sleep on the streets and suffer the cold.

Can they get in this time?
