Chapter 44 God Assists Jiujiu

Can they get in this time?

Even though the prince already had taro in his hands, he was still a little worried because worry would only lead to confusion.

Jiujiu saw the prince's tense face, patted his shoulder with her white and tender hands, and comforted him: "Don't worry, brother prince, we will definitely be able to get in this time."

"Good!" The prince touched Jiujiu's head and said, "Jiujiu has always been able to bring good luck to you, and it will definitely be able to do so this time. You, believe in Jiujiu."

As the prince said this, he asked Qingque to knock on the door again.

After the door was opened, Qingque said, "Please report to your master..."

Before he could finish his words, the person inside saw that it was Qingque and slammed the door shut.

Qingque had a high forehead and was stretching his neck to talk to someone, so he was almost hit on the forehead.

Qingque almost swore, but in order for his prince to win the beauty as soon as possible, he put his hands on his hips, took a breath, and knocked on the door again with a smile.

This time when the door opened, he did not say those polite words, but said directly: "Your Highness has sent taro to General Yu. Please open the door and let us in?"

Taro?

The servant who opened the door saw that it was Qingque who was knocking on the door again. He was about to close the door again, but when he heard the word "taro", he did not close the door, but politely said: "Dear guests, please wait a moment. I will go and report to the master of the house."

Qingque: “…”

Does this make me a distinguished guest?

Just now I treated them as beggars and drove them away!

The prince looked at Jiujiu in his arms with relief. If Jiujiu was not there today, he would have died here and would not have been able to enter the gate of the Yu family.

After a while, General Yu personally led people out to greet the prince with a faint smile on his face.

"Your Highness, are you here? I've been ill for a whole day, and I just realized it now. I'm so sorry. Please come in?"

The prince and his entourage finally entered Yu Mansion.

It’s really not easy!

After sitting down, General Yu had someone serve tea, which was the fine tea from his collection.

The prince was drinking tea and was about to show the taro to General Yu when General Yu spoke first.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent taro to this old minister? Is it true?"

That thing is very rare!

Except for the place where he fought the war, there is no such thing anywhere else because the soil is not suitable and the crops cannot grow.

Even if there are caravans traveling back and forth in the capital, they cannot buy it.

He tries to buy it every year, but fails.

Is there really a prince?

When General Yu heard that the prince had sent him taro, he was very excited and even went out to greet him in person. But now he calmed down and thought about whether this was a lie deliberately made up by the prince in order to see him.

Was he too excited?

As General Yu thought about it, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

He had even made up his mind that if the prince deceived him, he would immediately drive the prince out, and do it himself, using the big broom that swept the floor in the mansion.

snort--

The prince noticed the change in General Yu, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked someone to open the sack of taro and show it to General Yu.

When General Yu saw this, he was so excited that he almost shed tears.

Ever since he stopped fighting, he had been thinking about it, and even asked people to travel thousands of miles to buy it, but they usually couldn't bring it back because the people they sent couldn't walk too far, and the things they brought could easily be robbed by bandits.

Although he could still find escort agencies and caravans, they were too expensive, costing several thousand taels of silver, which was a rip-off. He had to save up dowries for his daughters, so he was reluctant to spend the money, so naturally he couldn't have this bite.

He was so excited when he saw this today.

The prince did not lie to him.

"Okay, okay!" General Yu said with a smile, "Come quickly, prepare these taro for eating right away."

"Yes, sir." The servants took the taro to cook.

The prince was preparing to talk about proposing to Yu Wanyin.

However, General Yu seemed to intend to stop the prince from speaking. He suddenly looked at Jiujiu and said first: "The princess is here too?"

"Yeah." Jiujiu nodded.

"The princess is so cute, I have never held her in my arms before, would you let me hold her in my arms?"

As General Yu spoke, he had already arrived in front of the prince and stretched out his hand towards Jiujiu in the prince's arms.

Jiujiu saw that General Yu had no ill intentions, and she wanted to help her brother the Crown Prince, so she let General Yu hold the baby.

General Yu was old and loved children. He held Jiujiu in his arms for a long time and did not let go. He kept teasing Jiujiu. The prince wanted to speak but could not find a chance.

It was Jiujiu who said, "Grandpa Yu, you have held Jiujiu for so long, you should promise Jiujiu one thing."

General Yu was amused: "It seems that the princess is not just a random hug!"

"So Grandpa Yu is going to cheat?"

"..." General Yu seemed to have no way to deal with Jiujiu. He sighed resignedly and said, "What is it? Tell me, Grandpa Yu will agree to it."

"My brother the prince wants to tell you something. Can you listen?"

"I knew you were going to say this." General Yu said, "For the sake of the princess, I agree. Your Highness, go ahead and say it!"

The prince looked at his godly assistant Jiujiu with joy and said, "General Yu, I want to marry Yu Wanyin, the daughter of the Yu family."

General Yu stopped talking.

Seeing this, Jiujiu said again: "Grandpa Yu, just say something to the prince brother!"

"Okay, Grandpa Yu promises you." General Yu always had no way to deal with Jiujiu. He looked at the prince sitting in the guest seat and said, "Wanyin is honored to be loved by the prince. However, please understand the feelings of an old minister as a father. I just want my daughter to live a peaceful and smooth life."

Prince: "But..."

"Your Highness, there is no need to say but!" General Yu said bluntly, "Liu Feng, the son of the Minister of Works, has also asked me for Wanyin. Liu Feng is a handsome man with a good personality. He never lingers on prostitutes. He is a gentleman and can be trusted for life. I am ready to marry my daughter to Liu Feng."

"What?" The prince was shocked.

He wanted to stop it, but looking at General Yu's expression, it was obvious that he had heard that he wanted to marry Yu Wanyin and didn't want Yu Wanyin to marry him, so he introduced Yu Wanyin to Liu Feng.

The prince was thinking about how to make General Yu change his mind, and then he heard Jiujiu's voice.

[Liu Feng has a good personality? He doesn't linger on the streets of prostitution? Haha, Grandpa Yu is confused.]

[Liu Feng was both lustful and violent. He not only loved to go to brothels, but also often beat and scolded servants. He was not someone worthy of entrusting one's life to. In the book, Liu Feng had a good reputation in the early days, but in the later days, his reputation became extremely bad.]

[If the prince could take Grandpa Yu to Zuihualou, he would see Liu Feng's true dissolute face, and Grandpa Yu would not marry Sister Yu to Liu Feng.]

After hearing these thoughts, the prince felt relieved. Jiujiu is truly a lucky doll. With her around, there is always a solution to any problem.

The prince is already planning when to take General Yu to Zuihualou and what excuse he will use to take him there.

Jiujiu was struggling with how to tell this to the Crown Prince.
