Chapter 229 An unprecedented sense of belonging
Xing Chuxue was an impetuous person and started writing the post immediately. The next day, several people met in the back garden of Prince An's Mansion.
Prince An's Mansion was not luxurious, and the decorations were quite ordinary. The flowers in the garden were not rare species, but in the eyes of several people, the scenery was excellent. They were in a particularly happy mood, and their laughter was blown far away by the spring breeze.
Xiao Baozhu sighed with emotion, "This is my first time as a guest at Fifth Brother's house. It's really rare."
Ye Hanyi teased, "Now that Prince An has a wife, this palace also has a mistress. Whenever you want to come, there will be someone to receive you."
Xing Chuxue felt embarrassed by their teasing, and a warm and sweet feeling rose in her heart.
Here, she developed an unprecedented sense of belonging, and from now on, this is her home.
Xiao Baozhu moved closer and asked in confusion, "Huh? What happened to you? Was it scratched by a cat too?"
Xing Chuxue immediately reached out and covered her neck, and her already flushed cheeks instantly turned even redder.
Xiao Baozhu said to herself, "I've been looking for a good-looking, docile and cute pet lately, but I've checked every cat and dog in the cat and dog room and still haven't found the right one. I even got scratched on my hand, and it hurts so much. Chuxue, do you have a cat too?"
Xing Chuxue hesitated and didn't say anything.
Lu Zhiran coughed lightly and said, "Baozhu, Chuxue's situation is different from yours, so don't ask."
Xiao Baozhu blinked and wanted to ask what was different, but she was not slow to react and reacted quickly.
"Oh, I see..."
She looked at Xing Chuxue with a teasing look, "I'm being tactless. Oh, when will I be able to hold my nephew and niece? You have to let my fifth brother try harder."
Xing Chuxue reached out and pinched her, and they all laughed and made a scene.
To prevent others from making fun of her, Xing Chuxue quickly changed the subject, "Baozhu, why did you suddenly want to get a pet?"
Xiao Baozhu looked helpless. "It wasn't me who wanted to raise the pet. It was Sun Muzhi. He wanted to find a docile pet for my third aunt to keep her company and relieve her boredom. I generously took on the task as a way to repay him for saving my life."
I thought I would be able to find a suitable cat or dog in the palace's cat and dog room, but unexpectedly, this matter was more difficult than I thought.
"Do you have any way to help me find it? I've already made a promise, I can't break it."
Xiao Baozhu looked distressed.
These days, she has been worried to death about this matter.
Xing Chuxue and Ye Hanyi had no connections, so Lu Zhiran came up with an idea. "I heard there's a Hengrui Trading Company. They just shipped a lot of novelties from overseas. Maybe there are foreign cats and dogs among them. I'll send someone to help you find out."
Xiao Baozhu was overjoyed when she heard this, "Thank you, Sister Ran, you still have a way."
"I'm just asking for you. It's not certain whether it exists yet. Don't get too excited too soon, or you'll be disappointed later."
"It doesn't matter. If I really can't find it, I'll think of another way."
Xiao Baozhu thought of something else, "Oh, Sister Ran, has our earlier fleet received a reply?"
Ye Hanyi and Xing Chuxue were both surprised, "You guys also formed a fleet together?"
Lu Zhiran briefly described their cooperation.
"According to the time calculation, it will take several months before I get a reply."
Xiao Baozhu was just asking casually, "I'm not in a hurry, I'm just asking. I have a mysterious premonition that our fleet will definitely make a lot of money."
Lu Zhiran nodded, "I feel the same way."
Xing Chuxue looked at Lu Zhiran with admiration in her eyes.
She thought of what Xiao Yanheng said yesterday, and she opened her mouth and asked Lu Zhiran sincerely for advice on housekeeping and employing people. Lu Zhiran did not hide anything and patiently taught her one by one. She also gave her some tips on managing the backyard.
Xing Chuxue nodded repeatedly after hearing this, feeling quite enlightened.
"Listening to your talk is truly worth ten years of study! I used to be so confused by the lawsuit, but now my thoughts are so much clearer."
Lu Zhiran smiled and said, "I just gave you a few pointers. It's up to you to truly understand it."
Xing Chuxue knocked her head and said, "I'm so stupid, I'm afraid I'll encounter various problems in the future. I'll ask you for advice then. Please don't think I'm annoying."
"Of course not."
Time passed quickly as they talked and laughed, and they finally dispersed near dusk.
Xing Chuxue was obviously in a very good mood.
Seeing her beaming with joy, Xiao Yanheng asked casually, "What did you talk about? Why are you so happy?"
Xing Chuxue is a chatterbox. If he asks her a question, she will tell him everything.
"Pingle County Princess is actually involved in maritime transportation?"
Xing Chuxue nodded. "Yes, she is truly courageous and decisive, no less so than the average man. She said that she started to build a fleet because of the successful experience of Hengrui Trading Company's merchant ship. This time, Hengrui Trading Company's merchant ship returned with a full load again, so Sister Ran's merchant ship will surely make a fortune as well."
Xiao Yanheng's eyebrows moved slightly.
So, is that the reason?
She had been paying attention to the movements of Hengrui Trading Company before, so she discovered the existence of the artillery in the first place?
If that's the case, it makes sense.
Xiao Yanheng's doubts were somewhat dispelled, but to determine the truth of this statement, he still had to verify it personally.
"Your Highness, have you ever heard of Hengrui Trading Company?"
Xiao Yanheng remained calm, "No, what's wrong? Do you want to do shipping too?"
Xing Chuxue shook her head repeatedly. "What are you thinking? I don't have that ability. I heard that Hengrui Trading Company's merchant ships brought back a lot of novel foreign gadgets, and I wanted to see what they had and broaden my horizons. I've never heard of this trading company before, and I don't know where they sell their products."
"It's just a trivial matter. I will investigate it."
"Then Your Highness, please ask if their caravan has any good-looking cats or dogs. Baozhu wants to buy some as a thank-you gift for Master Sun."
Xiao Yanheng agreed to all of them.
The next day, he brought back a lot of novelties, several large boxes. "That merchant's shop is in Qingyi Lane. It's very crowded, and I'm afraid all the good stuff has been snatched up. I had people collect these. Take a look and see if you like them. If not, you can go to the shop and choose for yourself. Tell me my name, and the owner will treat you well."
Xing Chuxue looked at the big boxes of good stuff with her eyes wide open. An indescribable emotion spread in her heart, and her whole heart felt sore and swollen.
"Your Highness, why are you so kind to me?"
Xiao Yanheng raised an eyebrow. "Is this good enough? It's just a piece of cake."
He gave an order and his men delivered the things. It was indeed an easy task for him.
Xing Chuxue's eyes were a little sore. This simple favor was something she had never enjoyed or experienced when she was at home. Her mother's love was always given to her sister first.
