Chapter 759 Fighting Qi

If he gets the control of the city guard, Huangfu Yuxuan's plan can be implemented immediately, but now he will be postponed.

Since the two countries are in marriage and the princess is in harmony, there will definitely be a team of brides.

Generally, the gangsters will send a team to send a gang general, but the Seventeenth princess has a special identity and is born to the emperor's favorite concubine. The general's status as a gang general is not enough.

But if he volunteered as the emperor's grandson, he would definitely succeed!

Although it will take at least three months to send off Dongtang to marry him, if he can do something, what is three months?

This trip was something he had planned to go long ago, but there was no suitable reason.

He glanced at King Liang in a secluded manner.

This look made King Liang tremble in his heart. It was really scary, like a poisonous snake, staring at someone, making people feel chilled all over.

King Liang was both depressed and angry, but his fear made him dare not show anything, but instead subconsciously shrank back.

This timid and cowardly appearance made Huangfu Yuxuan's heart feel a gloomy again.

Look at other people's fathers, King Zhuang, King Lu, King Xin, King Li, and even King Cheng, they are much better than his father.

All his uncles are fighting, and they all have some weight in front of the emperor and grandfather, but what about his father?

Useless things really make him more annoyed the more he looks at them.

He waved his hand and said coldly: "Good job, go and have a rest!"

He spoke this condescending tone very naturally, because he has always done this these days.

Not only was King Liang not angry, but he felt as relaxed as if he had been pardoned and immediately stood up and went out.

After walking out, he let out a long breath and his whole body was relieved.

Huangfu Yuxuan's face gradually became gloomy. Although he had made a decision, there would be no problems with the timing.

But when he thought about what he had to face after he came back, he felt extremely depressed.

The wedding date with Zhao Keyan is scheduled to be in May. When I come back, I will get married.

The word "big wedding" came to his heart, but he didn't feel happy, and he was still a little unwilling to accept it.

If the cold and indifferent woman, who is rude to him, has an outstanding appearance and is generous, knowing that she is actually Prime Minister Xia's niece, he should have been more concerned.

Now that the wedding date is set, she is not the one to marry, so it would be strange if he feels comfortable.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt the depression in Huangfu Yuxuan's heart was, and he was extremely annoyed, so he simply went out and wanted to go out for a walk.

After leaving the Liang Palace, Huangfu Yuxuan was a little stunned. He didn't know where he wanted to go at this time. After Cui Huai's respectful inquiry, he waved his hand and signaled him to drive the carriage and wander around casually.

Cui Huai glanced at his master worriedly.

His master has always been full of energy, but he looked a little lost at this time, almost never before. However, he didn't dare to ask, so he drove the carriage and walked slowly on the street.

The carriage walked along one street to the end. Seeing that Huangfu Yuxuan did not make any clear statement, Cui Huai had to continue urging the carriage to turn to the other street.

The street is much more lively, with vendors, shops, pedestrians, and carriages passing by, so they had to slow down and follow the crowds.

Huangfu Yuxuan gently stroked his forehead and was in such a lively street. All kinds of sounds filled his ears, noisy, but it also made him feel at ease that he had never noticed before.

Those civilians are working hard for the small profits in front of them, and are so smart for the sake of profit, but what are their interests?

A trace of contempt flashed through his eyes, and he closed his eyes and prepared to take care of himself.

"This rouge is good!"

"Okay! The girl is really good at it. The rouge here is made by Master Li himself. Master Li is a master of skillful hands! That is the top craftsmanship, but the quantity is smaller. This box of Colorful Spirit Green is only this box!"

"Well, the successor of Qiaoshou Wanniang is naturally a good thing! Pretend it for me!"

Huangfu Yuxuan's eyes suddenly opened, he opened the curtains and looked at the sound.

In that rouge shop, a girl in purple stood up, followed by a maid. Her smile was gentle, and her eyes were filled with a smile, making her look bright. It also made her look even more beautiful, with red lips and white teeth, and a charming look!

Huangfu Yuxuan's eyes lit up. He originally thought of the girl who had not been able to ask for it. He was bored and went to the street to relax.

Unexpectedly, he could touch her so by chance. He lowered his voice and said, "Stop!"

Cui Huai hurriedly stopped the carriage, but fortunately the carriage was not fast at all, and there were many shops here, and many of them stopped in front of them, which did not seem abrupt.

Huangfu Yuxuan looked at it and found that the rouge shop was called Jinqingtang. It seemed that it had been opened for at most half a year, but the business was good. There were the wife of the young official and the woman from the boudoir choosing rouge.

If a new shop can have such a good business, the goods inside must be unique.

A green cloth carriage parked on the right side of the door. Huangfu Yuxuan was not unfamiliar with the green cloth carriage. He smiled and hurriedly pulled down the curtains of the car windows, leaving only a small gap, and instructed Cui Huai to buy something elsewhere.

Xia Wenjin knew Cui Huai. If she knew he was here, she would probably leave in a hurry.

He was glad that he did not take a carriage with the emblem of the Liang Palace today. Although the carriage is good now, it is not obvious on this street.

At this time, through the small gap between the curtains in the car curtains, he saw the situation there. Xia Wenjin's eyebrows and eyes were soft, and her smile was so friendly and sweet. Huangfu Yuxuan's eyes became cold when he looked at the shopkeeper.

She could smile at a lowly businessman, but she never looked good when facing him!

The shopkeeper of Rouge Shop smiled and said, "I'll pretend for the girl!"

"Wait, that girl Cai Lingqing is going to want it!" Just as the shopkeeper talked to Xia Wenjin and was about to pack the rouge, a voice came in.

The shopkeeper and Xia Wenjin both looked at the sound. Outside the door, three arrogant figures walked in with a group of maids.

Looking at those people, Huangfu Yuxuan narrowed his eyes, his eyes were dark, and there was no expression on his face.

Isn’t that woman with green gauze dress, luxurious clothes and exquisite jewelry Zhao Keyan?

The shopkeeper saw it and hurriedly said, "Miss Zhao, you are here too. Unfortunately, Cai Lingqing had to have only one box. This girl has bought it!"

The talented woman Shuangyan has a reputation like the third young master in the capital. People like the shopkeeper of Rouge Shop are naturally recognized. They are just doing business with official family members. After all, a box of good Rouge costs ten taels of silver, and this box of Colorful Lingqing costs fifty taels, which is not something ordinary people can afford.

Miss Zhao is a regular customer in their shop, so the shopkeeper's tone is respectful, and he bent over half-bears, which is quite flattering.

Zhao Keyan raised her chin and looked cold and arrogant, but it was Luo Fu and Xu Man who came with her.

Both of these have dealt with Xia Wenjin and have not received any benefits.

Zhao Keyan disdained to talk to the shopkeeper, and Luo Fu did not speak. Instead, Xu Man said unhappily: "Since you recognize Miss Zhao, you know that Miss Zhao wants Cai Lingqing, and Cai Lingqing is still in your hands. Don't you know who to sell it to?"

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed and looked at Xia Wenjin. Although Xia Wenjin had not paid the money yet, she asked herself to wrap it up, and this was what she was going to ask for.

There is a way to come first and then come, but Miss Zhao can't afford to offend her.

Hongtao, the maid next to Xia Wenjin, opened her eyes wide and said quickly: "What is this lady saying? Have you not heard what the shopkeeper said? My lady in Rouge has already bought it. You are late!"

Xu Man said annoyedly: "Things without rules, where is the turn of a little girl here to talk too much, Caiyun, and stutter!"

A maid next to her immediately rushed towards Hongtao, raised her hand, and prepared to suck it down.

Xia Wenjin pulled Hongtao backwards, avoiding the slap, and her eyes fell on Xu Man lightly, saying, "Miss Xu is so majestic. It's not your turn to teach me a lesson for the people around me!"

"Bah!" Xu Man's contemptuous gaze fell on Xia Wenjin and sneered: "Don't think it's Prime Minister Xia's niece, just treat yourself as a personal character! Everyone in the capital knows that you are just a bandit daughter born in Jinzhou, and you are just attracted by Prime Minister Xia's glory!"

The dispute here attracted the guests who were picking rouge to see it. When they saw that it was Zhao Keyan, some people came over to please her, while others saw that her face was wrong. They were afraid of causing trouble, so they stood in the corner to reduce their presence.

Xia Wenjin smiled and said lightly: "Yes, I have a good uncle who can benefit me. Miss Xu doesn't have it, so I have to go and get the benefits of Miss Zhao!"

Xu Man's face turned red. Xuanping's ancestors were originally the Marquis of Xuanping. According to the ancestral system of Nanxia, ​​they were not hereditary titles. The next generation could only be reduced to the successor titles. Unless they made contributions, they could ensure that the next generation would not be reduced to the successor titles.

However, the descendants of the Xu family were not successful and did not produce anyone who could support their family. The title level was reduced from generation to generation. Xuan Ping Bo was just a third-class uncle. He was cowardly and had no ability. He was proficient in everything. His son also followed suit. Not to mention making meritorious contributions, he would not cause trouble. He would burn incense to his ancestors of the Xu family.

Once Xu Man's father died, the hereditary title no longer existed. Xuanping Bo Mansion is now neglected. Those men are ignorant, while the women are all wise.

After all, unlike males, women want to get married.

If you marry a high man, you can get rid of the deserted and neglected mother's family like Xuanping Bo Mansion and enjoy the glory again.

However, it is obviously impossible to have the reputation and status of Xuanping Bo Mansion. Xu Man will always hold Luo Fu tightly and try his best to please him. He followed Luo Fu Ba to Zhao Keyan, which made her very happy. She saw that Zhao Keyan didn't like Xia Wenjin, and it was the time when she showed her performance, so of course she immediately jumped out.

Xu Man said in anger, "My Xuanping Mansion is also a nobleman in the capital. Compared to you, a daughter of a bandit, I don't know how decent you are! It turns out that he is an uneducated barbarian woman, with sharp teeth and stubbornness!"

Xia Wenjin Youran: "Even a woman who grew up in the mountains knows to come first and then come, why didn't Xuan Pingbo's tutor teach these things?"

Huangfu Yuxuan, who was listening here, chuckled softly.

Unfortunately, he was afraid that he would approach Xia Wenjin and turn around and leave, so he could only listen carefully, but could not watch the situation there with his own eyes. I guess the cold and sharp woman must have an angry smile on her face at this time.

Zhao Keyan said impatiently: "Why do you say so much? The shopkeeper, don't want to do business anymore?"

The shopkeeper looked at Xia Wenjin and then at Zhao Keyan. He was really embarrassed. He said in a negotiated tone: "This girl, I don't know if you are willing to give up..."

"I don't want to!"

Xia Wenjin interrupted lightly.

Although she may not be sure to win this box of rouge, Zhao Keyan and the other two obviously came for her and wanted to attack the girl beside her. She didn't have such a good temper!

The shopkeeper bowed to Zhao Keyan and said, "Miss Zhao is really sorry. There is no colored spirit green anymore, but there are other things in the shop, which are not inferior to colored spirit green at all. They are all made by Master Li himself. Otherwise, you can see what else?"

Zhao Keyan was originally disdainful to talk to the shopkeeper's underage person, but at this time, she saw that the shopkeeper knew her identity and asked Xia Wenjin. After Xia Wenjin disagreed, she actually asked her to choose another one. Her face suddenly became dark and she said coldly: "It seems that the shopkeeper is not smart enough! Do you want to go against this lady?"

Xu Man, who hadn't asked for a cheap word, immediately said, "Shopkeeper, are you blind? You didn't see the carriage outside the door, right? You're so shabby. Do you think she can really afford fifty taels of silver a box of rouge? Do you want to offend Miss Zhao and us for such a customer?"

The shopkeeper complained secretly, looked embarrassed, bowed repeatedly, and said, "Ms. Zhao, the small shop and small business management have always been based on integrity. This girl did come first! The villain..."

"This Cai Lingqing is sold for fifty taels, and we will pay fifty taels! You sell it to us!" Luo Fu interrupted the shopkeeper.

"Swish..." Xia Wenjin sneered and said, "Ms. Luo is born in a wealthy family, but she is a little too petty. Do you think you have no money? I'll pay sixty taels for the shopkeeper!"

Luo Fu's face turned red and she only added one or two taels, and Xia Wenjin's side directly added ten taels. After this comparison, doesn't she seem to be too petty?

Zhao Keyan turned her head and looked out the door, her eyes fell on the simple blue cloth carriage, a sarcasm appeared on the corner of her lips, and she said lightly: "Seventy taels!"

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and a little struggling appeared. This was twenty taels more. Although it was tempting to earn more money, it was a violation of the rules! His eyebrows were twisted into ropes, and his whole face became entangled.

Xia Wenjin said without thinking: "I will never give up on this Cai Lingqing. Miss Zhao, I'm sorry, I'll pay one hundred taels!"

Zhao Keyan's eyes turned cold and she was still a little taller and beautiful, with a rosy and beautiful cherry lips, and she spit out three words: "Two hundred taels!"

The shopkeeper's eyes almost popped out. He seemed to have said nothing. Fifty taels of rouge are worth 200 taels now? It's so scary to have a fight with the rich lady!
