The Princess of Huyang is dressed in jewels and magnificence today.
Just a set of emerald head jewelry is worth five or six thousand taels.
Enough to blind people's eyes.
On the other hand, Gu Jiu was dressed very plainly. All over the body, only a ruby hairpin was worn, and no earrings or bracelets were worn at all.
She smiled and said to Princess Huyang: "Auntie's outfit today is noble, dignified, and eye-catching."
The master of Huyang County laughed, and the expression of satisfaction was beyond words.
"You sent someone to tell me that you have to be imposing and overwhelm the people in Cheng Enbo's mansion. No, I specially made this outfit."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, aunt."
"It's not hard, it's not hard. I didn't expect Cheng En Bochou to be so shameless that he would have the nerve to snatch the junior's business. When I meet him later, I must spit on him."
Gu Jiu reminded: "He is an elder."
Hu Yang snorted, not at all afraid, "Elders should behave like elders. The elders are shameless and steal the younger generation's business regardless of face, so what am I afraid of? Eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, you don't have to be afraid of him, I will support you. "
Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled, and said sincerely: "Thank you aunt for supporting me. I will rely on aunt for a while."
Princess Huyang laughed loudly, "Don't worry, it's all on me."
The carriage staggered and finally arrived at Cheng Enbo's mansion.
The butler opened the side door to welcome him.
"Stop!"
Huyang was furious, opened the car door, pointed to the butler who greeted him, "I'm here as a guest, you open the side door. You Cheng Enbo's mansion is so majestic. Eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, this invites us not to make an appointment. Go back!"
Butler Zhu froze, standing in a mess in the wind.
How is this going
Why is Huyang Princess here
This has not entered the door, and it has begun to show off. What do you mean? Do you look down on Cheng Enbo Mansion
He looked at Gu Jiu in the carriage through the door.
Bad intentions!
Gu Jiu looked puzzled, glanced at Butler Zhu with aggrieved eyes, and tugged at the sleeve of Princess Huyang, "Auntie, he's just a servant, don't be fussy with him."
Hu Yang snorted, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, you are too kind-hearted to be ridden on your head as a domineering one.
In Yuhua Lane back then, the Li family found fault in every possible way, and even dared to secretly set fire to it. Now there is another Zhu family. Do you really think that Mrs. Ning Wangfu is kind and easy to bully
Don't be afraid today, I will make the decision for you. Who dares to bully you because of your low seniority and young age, I will tear his mouth to pieces. "
Gu Jiu lowered her head aggrievedly, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, like a cat stealing fish.
"But..." Her voice was weak and aggrieved.
"It's nothing. Today, Cheng Enbo's mansion will not open the middle door to welcome you and me in. Regardless of the invitation, we won't make an appointment. Did you hear that?"
Gu Jiu's eyes were moist, and she nodded timidly, "Listen, I heard it. I listen to my aunt."
Then, she said to Butler Zhu outside: "Butler, you go and tell the uncle, just say that today's invitation is cancelled. I'm really sorry, the uncle took all the trouble to prepare."
After finishing speaking, she told the coachman, "Go back."
Eh
its not right!
How could things develop like this.
"Madam Zhao, wait a minute." Butler Zhu was anxious. The old man is waiting, how can he let people go.
Gu Jiu frowned slightly, "Is there anything else?"
"Madam Zhao, all of you are here, you should go in and have a cup of tea no matter what. Uncle is waiting for you."
Gu Jiu shook his head, "Housekeeper, Madam Ben came to the door together with the Princess Mistress. I am a junior, so it doesn't matter if I am wronged and go through the side door. But the Princess Mistress cannot be wronged. Since the Earl's Mansion cannot open the middle door to welcome us in, why not next time Let's meet again."
Princess Huyang held her head up in cooperation, snorted, and breathed out from her nostrils.
The old lady is the biggest, everyone is scum, if you don't give the old lady face, the old lady makes all of you lose face.
Butler Zhu has a headache.
He never expected that when Gu Jiu went to the banquet, he would bring the shit-stirring stick of Princess Huyang with him.
Is there such an operation
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci didn't invite Princess Huyang, why should she come.
Butler Zhu said: "Madam Zhao, the invitation is only for you. Why don't you go in with the younger one and have a cup of tea with uncle first. How about we talk about the rest of the matter later?"
"Why?" Princess Huyang pointed at Steward Zhu's nose and cursed, "You Zhu family is shameless, bullying my eldest nephew and daughter-in-law who is young and pregnant, so you want to coax her into it and let you pinch her rub round.
Ben Gong tells you that there are no doors and no windows. Bengong also invested money in the project outside the South City Gate. If you want to talk about business, well, first ask Ben Gong for advice. Otherwise, talk about it. "
Gu Jiu smiled embarrassedly at Butler Zhu, "Butler, you have seen it too. In fact, this project has always been decided by the princess. Uncle wants to invite me to talk about things, but I'm afraid I can't do anything. Regarding matters, I cannot make decisions alone, please forgive me."
Butler Zhu's brows and eyes twitched, causing the muscles on his face to tremble twice.
Mrs. Zhao, when you say that, have you considered the feelings of others? You bully everyone in a serious manner, won't your conscience hurt
You are so young, how can you learn to be shameless
Who doesn't know the project outside the South City Gate, you alone decide the world. Even His Majesty only invests money and does not intervene in the operation.
You are talking nonsense with your eyes open, saying that Princess Huyang is responsible for the project outside the South City Gate. Do you treat us all as mentally retarded
The owner of Huyang County is just a royal idiot, who doesn't know!
Madam Zhao, please stop pretending, okay
Even though we haven't delivered directly, it doesn't mean we don't know what you usually look like.
It's obviously a wolf in sheep's clothing, why pretend to be a weak little white rabbit
Butler Zhu opened his mouth and was about to refute. Behind him, the middle door of the Earl's Mansion opened from the inside, and two rows of servants stood on both sides of the middle door, "Welcome to the princess, Madam Zhao."
Confused, Steward Zhu ran to the door in three steps at a time, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"The uncle ordered to open the middle door to welcome the two distinguished guests. Butler, hurry up, the uncle is waiting."
Butler Zhu wiped the sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth, bowed and sang, "Welcome two distinguished guests."
The carriage started slowly and entered Cheng Enbo Mansion through the middle gate.
In the carriage, Princess Huyang asked very excitedly: "My nephew and daughter-in-law, how did I behave just now?"
Gu Jiu smiled and boasted, "It's very good. Just keep it like this."
Princess Huyang was full of fighting spirit, "Don't worry, I won't let that old fellow Zhu Ci realize his mistake today, I will take his surname."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, even though Zhu Ci had the courage, he would not dare to let the dignified princess take his surname. Unless you want to die.
The carriage drove directly into the atrium garden.
Nanny Fang personally helped Gu Jiu get off the carriage, "Ma'am, be careful."
Gu Jiu stepped on the bench and got out of the carriage, looking at the surrounding environment.
What a Jiangnan garden scenery.
In the midsummer season, you can feel the coolness in the garden.
He is worthy of being the richest man in the capital, a wealthy businessman of several generations.
With Gu Jiu's vicious vision, every scene in this garden was built with a lot of money.
People who don't know how to do it look inconspicuous, thinking that the Zhu family is low-key and simple.
They don't know that people are extravagant everywhere, and the extravagance will return to the basics in the end. The money and thoughts spent on every detail can scare people to death.
The Zhu family is low-key, low-key and luxurious. It is worthy of being a wealthy businessman who has been in business for hundreds of years for several generations. Even a merchant is a nobleman among merchants. There is no force everywhere, but there is force everywhere.
"Miss Princess, Mrs. Zhao, please come this way. My uncle has been waiting in the gazebo in front of you for a long time."
Gu Jiu said politely: "How dare Uncle Robert wait. The butler quickly leads the way."
Steward Zhu led the way, while Gu Jiu and Hu Yang walked behind.
Princess Huyang whispered to her, "The Zhu family's garden is nice."
Huyang was born to spend money, he tasted the professional training of the royal family, and his vision was very high.
With a casual glance, you can see that the Zhu family's garden is unique.
This is not the same as Gu Jiu's vicious eyes.
Gu Jiu was able to tell the difference because he studied it thoroughly.
Huyang is because she was born as an imperial daughter, and she has been influenced by her ears and eyes since she was a child. Anything that is not as good as her family's is not a good thing, and it is worthless.
Think about where is her home? In the palace!
Taking the imperial palace as a reference, whose decoration is qualified to be called good by Huyang
But Zhu's garden caught Huyang's eyes.
It can be seen that this garden is really unique, and every inch under the feet is paved with money.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "What my aunt said is that this garden is so nice and cool."
Hu Yang snorted, "It will cost a lot of money."
Jealousy made Huyang completely unrecognizable.
It is said that the Zhu family is rich, and today I have seen it.
The two followed Butler Zhu to the gazebo, Cheng Enbo and Zhu Ci took the main seat. In his sixties, his hair is black and thick, energetic and well maintained.
The lower jaw has a beard. The beard is gray, the only part of his body that seems to agree with his age.
"Haha... I am so happy to hear that Huyang is here too. Huyang, when you were young, this old man used to hire you, remember?"
"I don't remember!" Hu Yang didn't give any face.
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci didn't care at all, just like a loving elder would not care about the nonsense of the younger generation.
He said with a smile: "You were so young at that time, and you were very naughty at a young age, which made your mother and concubine very headache."
Hu Yang: "..." Hehe!
If you want to play the role of the elders, you must be wrong.
"Uncle, why do you only greet me? My eldest nephew and daughter-in-law have stood here with a big belly for so long, is it possible that you plan to let her stand all the time? Is this your way of hospitality?"
The owner of Huyang County went back directly.
This time, Cheng Enbo's expression was slightly cracked. Hey, it is said that Huyang is a shit stick, and today he has seen it.
But he has always been a man of the city, he laughed to relieve his embarrassment, "Daughter-in-law Liu Zhao, sit down and talk. You are a twin now, so you can't be tired."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, holding back her breath, looking very cute. At first glance, he is a virtuous person.
But thinking about what Gu Jiu did in the past, it has nothing to do with Xian Hui.
"Thank you, Uncle. Uncle's kind invitation, the younger generation is really panic. I feel uneasy, afraid that if I don't respond well, I will make the uncle unhappy, so I ask the princess to accompany you. The younger generation has made his own decisions and brought trouble to the uncle. Please also invite the uncle Forgive me."
After sitting down, Gu Jiu began to plead guilty.
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci looked at Gu Jiu.
Just looking at the appearance, she is a very beautiful little daughter-in-law.
But whoever despises her because of this will definitely regret it.
This is a wolf in sheep's clothing. On the surface, he is gentle, courteous and humble, but in fact he does things decisively, simply and neatly. He has big ambitions and great courage.
No number of men are her opponents.
Cheng Enbo's mansion secretly frowned.
Before seeing Gu Jiu, he thought that Gu Jiu was young and vigorous, showing his sharp edge. Such people are easy to deal with.
As a result, when he saw people, he realized that it was not what he thought at all.
Young is really young, and a deep mind is also really deep.
If she didn't arrive first, she would invite Huyang out.
Cheng Enbo narrowed his eyes slightly. But Gu Jiu made a wrong calculation, did he really think that Hu Yang could influence the outcome? Young people think things are still too simple.
He laughed: "Madam Zhao is too polite. I call you Xiaojiu, okay?"
Gu Jiu nodded and said with a smile: "Thanks to Uncle Meng, you don't mind, so please call me Xiao Jiu."
Cheng Enbo poured tea for her himself.
She stood up hastily, "Uncle, you're so disgusting to this junior."
"They're all relatives, Xiao Jiu doesn't have to be restrained. Huyang, you drink tea too."
Hu Yang picked up the teacup and took a sip casually. It's delicious. This year's new tea has a long-lasting fragrance.
But Hu Yang doesn't like to drink tea, so he put down the cup after taking a sip.
Cheng Enbo didn't take Hu Yang seriously, his goal was Gu Jiu.
"Xiao Jiu, do you know why the old man invited you to drink tea?"
"The junior doesn't know, please tell me clearly."
Cheng Enbo stared at Gu Jiu with piercing eyes, "I heard that you built a house at the south gate of the city just to accommodate those refugees. You are under a lot of pressure, right?"
"Uncle said that my heart is hurting, and the pressure is really great. Fortunately, I am pregnant now, and if anything happens, Aunt Huyang will take care of it."
Gu Jiu spoke nonsense in a serious manner, which made Cheng Enbo very angry.
However, the master of Huyang County is still shameless and admits the credit.
Cheng Enbo smiled, "Xiao Jiu is too modest. Rather than saying that you are building a house outside the south gate, it is better to say that you are raising tens of thousands of refugees. You have done something that others cannot do, and you have raised thousands of people. Ten thousand people have lightened the court's burden greatly, and this old man deeply admires it. Your Majesty should make a decree to reward you for this achievement."
"Uncle was joking. The younger generation is just a housewife, and can't do such lofty things. Uncle always puts a high hat on me. I'm small and weak, so I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on." Gu Jiu looked weak .
Cheng Enbo was very depressed.
He kept talking for the sake of this, if Gu Jiu is sensible, he should just follow the lead and pick up the conversation, and we will start chatting today.
But Gu Jiu didn't want to, she just wanted to play dumb. Still keep pulling the topic back.
Cheng Enbo frowned slightly, was he too reserved, or was Gu Jiu unwilling to talk to him
So, he asked bluntly: "Is Xiao Jiu dissatisfied with this old man?"
"The juniors dare not!"
"Hmph!" Hu Yang expressed his anger and contempt appropriately.
Cheng Enbo looked towards Huyang, "Huyang, can't you sit still?"
Princess Huyang smiled, "I'm dissatisfied with some people taking advantage of their status as elders to bully the younger ones. They are jealous of others making money, so they want to step in halfway. What did you do?"
Before the project started, why didn't you want to take out the money? It's nothing more than not seeing a rabbit and not spreading an eagle. Bengong hates this kind of person the most, philistine, shameless, shameless! "
No matter how well-mannered Cheng Enbo was, he would not be able to keep a smile on his face when he was scolded face-to-face by the juniors for being shameless and shameless.
Cheng Enbo's face collapsed, and he said angrily: "Huyang, I didn't want to argue with you at first. But you really lack sense in what you say. If you are dissatisfied with this old man, please go ahead. I don't welcome you in the Earl's Mansion."
"Let's go! It's not unusual for Bengong to come to you for tea. Xiaojiu, let's go."
Gu Jiu stood up obediently, and made a gesture to leave.
Cheng Enbo's eyes widened, "Xiao Jiu, you don't have to go. The old man sincerely invites you to drink tea, please sit down."
Gu Jiu shook his head, "The younger generation came to visit with the princess. Now that the princess has been driven away by the uncle, this junior is not qualified to stay any longer. It is also fun for the uncle to pour and drink alone. The junior is bothering you today, so let me say goodbye! "
The owner of Huyang County laughed, very proud.
Seeing that both of them had walked out of the gazebo, Cheng Enbo yelled, "Both of them can't leave!"
"What's the matter, you want to stop Bengong? Cheng Enbo, you are so courageous." Hu Yang raised his eyebrows, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to start.
Cheng Enbo was so angry that he was half dead, why didn't Huyang, this shit-stirring stick, get away from him.
He endured and endured, suppressing his anger, and laughed, "Huyang, you are still exactly the same as when you were a child, losing your temper at every turn. Sit down, sit down quickly. How can you leave without even taking a sip of tea. Spread the word, Others thought that the Earl's Mansion didn't treat guests well."
Isn't it bad hospitality
Princess Huyang looked at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu blinked and nodded.
Hu Yang heheed twice, "Since the uncle wants to stay, I will reluctantly drink two sips of tea. I will put the ugly words first, if you dare to take advantage of my eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, you must pass me first. Otherwise, don't blame me Ben Gong turned his face!"
