Chapter 509 Visiting the Mansion as a Guest
Chapter 509 Visiting the Mansion as a Guest
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe took a leisurely carriage to the county lord's mansion.
"This time let's go and explore the truth first," Yan Ruyu said. "Her birthday will be in a few days. There will be many people there, and there will be many gifts."
Huo Changhe thought for a moment: "You don't have to wait a few days. I've been to the County Lord's Mansion and I'm quite familiar with them."
He took out a topographic map: "Look, this is a topographic map. There are properties in these places. Get rid of them first. Even if they are lost, he has to hold a birthday party."
"When the time comes, I have no money, so I have to grit my teeth and force myself to smile, waiting to use gifts from all parties to regain my health. As a result, the gifts are stolen again. Isn't it exciting?"
Yan Ruyu: "..."
The prince is really becoming more and more childish. No wonder they say that a man will remain a boy until he dies.
"Okay? I'll cover for you."
"You're going to cover me? We're both gone, who's going to cover us?" Yan Ruyu laughed angrily, "Just give me the blueprints and let the secret guards follow me secretly. Don't worry about anything else."
"That won't work, it's too dangerous." Huo Changhe put the drawings away and "give up."
Yan Ruyu took advantage of the situation and pulled away: "I look at the situation. With the secret guards around, there won't be any danger."
Just as he was talking, the carriage stopped.
"Your Majesty, Princess," the secret guard whispered back, "Here we are, he will greet you at the door."
Yan Ruyu lifted the curtain and got out of the car, helped Huo Changhe down, and looked back to see Huo Changxian standing on the steps.
This guy changed his clothes again, a sky blue brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and his hair crown was also changed to white jade, which matched the brocade robe very well.
Yan Ruyu's lips moved slightly: "Slut."
Huo Changhe raised his eyebrows slightly, this was a new word.
He took another look and whispered: "He has no beard, so he can't be called a stubble boy."
Yan Ruyu couldn't help laughing.
Huo Changxian saw the two of them whispering, and he didn't know what they were talking about. They seemed very happy.
It seems that this little maid is indeed very popular with Mr. Jia. If there is a chance, it would be better to win her over completely.
"Young master went out to greet him, I really don't dare to accept it," Huo Changhe cupped his hands.
"It should be. Young Master and I are friends, regardless of status."
Huo Changhe said to himself that I am not inferior to you in terms of status.
"The banquet has been prepared at home. Mr. Jia, please," Huo Changxian turned to look at Yan Ruyu and said in a gentle tone, "Miss, please."
Huo Changhe felt a twinge of pain in his heart again, and Yan Ruyu's fingertips traced across his palm, reminding him to be patient.
Entering the county lord's mansion, Yan Ruyu's eyes briefly glanced at him.
It's indeed luxurious and very sophisticated. It's not the kind of thing that people spend a lot of money on, but it's still somewhat elegant.
The banquet was not held in the main hall, but by the lake, in a small waterside pavilion. As you climbed up the stairs, you could see the bright moon rising and the stars shining on the water, which gave it a special meaning.
The guests and hosts took their seats, and Huo Changxian said: "Master, I want to ask you for a favor."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Ruyu sat down next to Huo Changhe, took out a jade cup and put it away.
Huo Changhe asked: "What do you ask for?"
What Huo Changxian originally wanted to say was to ask Yan Ruyu to sit down as well, instead of just standing behind and waiting. Although she was a maid, there were no outsiders here.
But unexpectedly, before the words were spoken, he sat down on his own.
When the words came to his lips, he could only swallow them.
"I... I mean, my drinking capacity is not very good. Please forgive me and drink less. Otherwise, if we drink too much for our first meal together, wouldn't it be a joke?"
He changed the topic abruptly and was embarrassed.
Yan Ruyu smiled and said: "Young master, you are too worried. My master is not in good health and cannot drink too much. We bring our own small wine glasses. This is the only one. No more than three glasses."
"This……"
"The doctor said it."
Huo Changxian was blocked again.
There were only a few cold dishes on the table, and when everyone came to serve the hot dishes, Huo Changxian clapped his hands, and twelve dishes were served one after another. The one in the middle was the white fish.
"Master, try it. This fish doesn't need to be cooked complicatedly. It is simply steamed. It is most delicious."
Yan Ruyu gave Huo Changhe a pair of chopsticks and ate some herself. It tasted really good.
"What's the name of this fish?" she asked.
"Bingtan White Fish is located in a small town to the north of Lincheng. There is a wonder there. There is an ice pool in the mountains. The water is extremely cold all year round. At this time, it has already frozen. The white fish in the water has a tender texture. It’s plump and delicious, and eating it is good for your body.”
"It's not easy to get into the ice pool, and it's not easy to get these fish, so I can only get two or three fish each time. This time, my mother's birthday is coming, I sent people to catch them a month ago, but they only got three fish. Today, when the young master comes, I will offer this to you." vegetable."
Huo Changhe didn't think anything of it. He had seen all kinds of delicacies.
He just nodded politely and said, "Young Master is so generous, but I am ashamed to accept it."
Yan Ruyu didn't say anything, thinking about heading north. It would be a good idea to take a look. If there was a chance, she would go and have a look. She would also catch a few live ones to see if they could be raised in the space.
If you can, it might be a business opportunity in the future if your own people can take advantage of it.
Seeing that their reactions were mediocre, with no shock, surprise or joy, Huo Changxian was a little depressed.
The conversation changed and he asked: "Master, what's your impression of me in Lincheng? Are you interested in opening a shop here?"
Without waiting for Huo Changhe to answer, he added: "If you are interested, I can help you. After all, there is nothing I don't know in Lincheng."
Huo Changhe chuckled: "I alone have no say in this matter."
Huo Changxian frowned slightly: "Oh? Mr. Jia's words don't count, that's..."
Huo Changhe smiled and said nothing. Huo Changxian felt anxious and turned to look at Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu took a bite of the fish and then said slowly: "Young Master, have you forgotten? There is a shaman next to my young master. You have to ask the shaman where to open a shop and how many."
What Huo Changxian wanted to see most was also a shaman. Hearing this, he was overjoyed. The opportunity had come.
He took advantage of the situation and asked: "I don't know..."
Before he finished speaking, the boy ran up from downstairs and whispered a few words into his ear.
Huo Changxian frowned and looked displeased: "Just tell her that I have an important guest now, and we'll talk about it after I'm done."
The boy looked troubled and said, "Miss Hongyu said that she has something important to do, which is related to the safety of the young master and the county lord!"
It was this kind of rhetoric again that made Huo Changxian nervous before and wanted to ask immediately, but now...
The servant lowered his voice again: "She also said that it was related to the county lord's old affairs."
This is new, it’s the first time I say it.
Huo Changxian's eyes narrowed.
Huo Changhe said slowly: "Master, if you have something to do, you might as well go and do it."
Huo Changxian thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Then I..."
"After we finish eating later, we will go back first. Thank you for your hospitality, sir."
Huo Changxian: "!!"
"I still have something to say to the young master and something to discuss, why not..."
"My young master can't blow the wind for a long time," Yan Ruyu said with a smile, "Besides, he is not used to changing places when eating. You have urgent matters to deal with. This time is really unlucky. It is better to meet again next time when we have a chance."
Yes, you can't let the wind blow for a long time, you just can't wait here for a long time;
If you are not used to changing places to eat, then you don’t have to wait elsewhere.
That leaves one option.
Huo Changxian said to the boy, "Let her come here to speak."
