"Seventh Prince, please put down your little wife. Otherwise, I will call someone else!"
Cen Nuo raised an eyebrow at Xiang Yu, and then whispered in Xiang Yu's ear.
"Even if Madam screams, no one will come to save Madam, so Madam should obey me."
Cen Nuo's steady breath hit Xiang Yu's slender neck, making it feel numb and itchy. The scene where Cen Nuo planted strawberries for her yesterday suddenly appeared in his mind.
Xiangyu suddenly felt that his ears were burning.
Cen Nuo looked at his wife's red earlobes, with bloodshot eyes visible.
"Are you shy, madam?"
Zenno asked softly with a smile.
Xiang Yu listened to Cen Nuo's voice and almost died from Cen Nuo's Su.
Can you, a man, be a little more reserved? Be more reserved!
Xiang Yu immediately held the hand around his waist and struggled desperately: "Help! Someone kidnapped a woman from her natal family, someone kidnapped a married woman!"
At this time, all the people outside Zhen Guogong's mansion had dispersed, so no matter how Xiang Yu screamed, almost no one would hear him. Even if someone heard it, they didn't have the guts to step forward and stop the Seventh Prince.
Seeing that asking for help from others was in vain, Xiang Yu had no choice but to turn his attention to Xiao Cui and Jin Yan who were standing aside.
"Ooooo, Xiaocui. Come and save your young lady. The seventh prince is going to abuse your young lady. Jinyan, please come and persuade your prince. Don't let your prince hurt anyone."
Xiao Cui and Jin Yan, who were standing aside, looked at Xiang Yu who was hugged by the Seventh Prince but struggling desperately and turned to look at each other.
Jin Yan: Do you know her
Xiao Cui shook her head: obviously she didn’t know him.
Yi Yan: What a coincidence, I don’t know him either.
After saying that, the two of them took the initiative to avoid Xiang Yu's pleading eyes.
In the carriage, it was gloomy because the heavy curtains blocked the light outside.
At this time, Xiang Yu placed his hands on his legs in an upright manner, sitting opposite Cen Nuo like a good child.
Cen Nuo held his head and looked at Xiang Yu with a smile.
"Why, madam, you're not making trouble anymore?"
Xiang Yu shook his head vigorously.
"I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore."
Cen Nuozuo looked at Xiang Yu with a smile across from Xiang Yu. He said nothing but the look he looked at Xiang Yu was enough to drown Xiang Yu alive.
Are you trying to drown me with your eyes
Xiang Yu avoided Cen Nuo's gaze and raised the curtains to look at the strange streets filled with people coming and going: "Seventh Prince, where are we going now?"
"To meet Madam's grandfather."
Grandfather
Xiang Yu suddenly remembered that she should visit her grandfather.
When she got married, her maternal grandfather gave her a very generous dowry, which was almost completely emptied by the Prime Minister's Palace. Although all the dowry ended up in her grandmother Yun's pocket, and she didn't get any of it, she still deserved to visit her grandfather because of her grandfather's affection for her.
Of course, she knew that her grandfather loved her from her chat with Xiao Cui.
Xiang Yu thought of the large cart of jewelry boxes he saw just now, so the carriage full of jewelry carried by the seventh prince's carriage was all for his grandfather
Xiang Yu looked up at Cen Nuo, who was sitting upright in his seat and looking at him with a smile.
An unrealistic idea suddenly came to Xiang Yu's mind: Was it because of her that Cen Nuo gave his grandfather such a large box of jewelry
There is a saying in her book about "gifts".
After getting married, in order to thank the bride's parents, on the day of the homecoming banquet, the groom will definitely bring a very rich gift back to the father-in-law's home with the bride and give the gift to the father-in-law to express his gratitude for the excellent daughter he has cultivated. The gratitude of the father-in-law who is angry with his wife.
The more generous the "gift" is, the greater the degree of the bride's weight among the groom.
It was well known throughout the capital that Duke Zhen Guo was not good to him, so when Cen Nuo went to visit Duke Zhen Guo today, he didn't bring anything with him. Cen Nuo instead gave this gift to his grandfather who loved him
When Xiang Yu thought of the jewelry outside, she felt a little more in her heart.
Uncomfortable!
If you give that money to yourself, that money can be used as your first capital to start a business in this era.
Cen Nuo seemed to notice Xiang Yu's gaze, so he raised his eyes and smiled brightly at Xiang Yu: "Madam, when you look at me like this, are you infatuated with my beauty?"
Xiangyu gave you Cen Nuo a "Are you shy?" look, then held his face with his palms and looked at the Seventh Prince: "Seventh Prince, you gave away so many jewels, hasn't the Seventh Prince's Mansion been taken out by you? empty?"
Cen Nuo looked at Xiang Yu's expression and asked, "Will you be unable to support the people in the Seventh Prince's house after you leave the money?"
"Don't worry, madam. No matter what, my wife can still support her."
Xiang Yu frowned, obviously not believing what Cen Nuo said.
"Master Senven, war consumes the most money. How can you have extra money when you are fighting outside all year round?"
Cen Nuo moved his gaze from Xiang Yu to the outside, looking at the bustling street.
There are many commercial buildings on the street, with all kinds of shops, and there is an endless stream of people going to various shops.
After all, this is Kyoto, so prosperity is inevitable.
"So I have opened shops, restaurants, and southern courtyards all over the country to make up for the money consumed by the war."
When Xiang Yu heard this, money was flying in his mind.
Wait, that’s not right!
Xiang Yu looked at Cen Nuo in surprise: "Is this south courtyard also your property, the Seventh Prince?"
Zen Nuo's eyes changed slightly as he looked at the street, and he nodded slightly.
"The small pavilion in the south courtyard is mostly children brought back by the king from the battlefield. Seeing that the children were homeless and afraid that they would not be able to escape the fate of dying on the battlefield, the king took them back to the capital and settled them in the south courtyard. By the way, please ask your husband to teach them etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and arithmetic. When they pass the age of weak crowns, I will respect them if they are willing to stay in the South Academy, whether they want to obtain fame, or to follow me to guard the frontier. Their choice."
Although Cen Nuo's tone was very smooth and without any fluctuation when he said this, Xiang Yu could hear the discomfort Cen Nuo was hiding deep in his heart.
At this moment, Xiang Yu finally understood why so many men in Kyoto liked Cen Nuo.
In the era she has shaped, someone as powerful as Cen Nuo, who lives a carefree and comfortable life without caring about the world, and who dares to take responsibility for the people. Cen Nuo is undoubtedly the person they long to become and the person they admire.
"So the Seventh Prince often comes in and out of the South Courtyard to promote the South Courtyard?"
In this era where "cut sleeves" are not allowed or accepted by the world, and powerful ministers decide the preferences of ordinary people, the Seventh Prince is undoubtedly the best sign of "Southern Court".
"Not entirely."
Cen Nuo withdrew his gaze from the street and put down the raised curtain.
Xiang Yu frowned: "Why?"
Cen Nuo curled his lips and smiled, holding his chin with both hands like Xiang Yu, and focused his gaze on Xiang Yu.
"Because I want my wife to be jealous of me."
Cen Nuo's eyebrows were serious.
Although Xiangyu knew that Cen Nuo was obviously lying to her, she was still no match for Cen Nuo's affectionate gaze.
It had to be, now that she saw Cen Nuo, she was even less resistant.
Xiang Yu put down the hand that was dragging his cheek, with an indiscernible expression on his face, and once again avoided Cen Nuo's gaze.
"Why does the Seventh Prince want me to be jealous? I don't like vinegar because it's so sour!"
Cen Nuo was not angry at Xiang Yu's attitude toward him but raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
When chasing your wife, you need to take your time and do it slowly. Remember not to be impatient. You can't eat hot tofu in an impatient manner.
"Madam is being dishonest again~"
