The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

On the sixth day of July, Zouji Cloth Shop came to Xu Mansion to deliver customized clothes.

The pear white skirt and goose yellow waistband look innocent and playful.

Xu Rongrong glanced at it briefly, then threw it aside and continued to play with her booklet.

Seeing that his master's mind was not on this, Wen Yao put away his clothes.

Since Lord Shangshu personally inquired about the affairs of his own house, Xu Chaoqian gave many instructions to the Xu Liu family in the past two days: Never neglect Wutong Courtyard.

As a result, life in the small courtyard became easier. At least the two girls could eat three meals a day.

Luo Shu has a simple mind. Now that he is well fed and occasionally has snacks, he feels happy and works more efficiently. Each purse he embroidered for Xu Rongrong is more exquisite than the last.

Xu Rongrong was sitting by the window, biting her brush and watching Luo Shu's flying stitches, and suddenly asked:

"Your brother is in the capital now, right?"

"The lady is right, he is helping people drive cars at Liao Ji Car Dealership. Do you want to see my brother for something?"

Xu Rongrong nodded: "Tomorrow night is the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet. You can only accompany me to the palace gate. While we are at the banquet, you can quietly go to the car dealership and ask him to find out if there is anyone near Luming Street in West City. Yard for sale.”

"Miss, you want to buy a yard? But Luming Street is very remote and there are always foreigners coming and going."

"It doesn't matter. Let him inquire carefully to see how many yards are for sale and how much money is needed. If the Xu family really can't accommodate them in the future, we can have a place to go."

Luo Shu was a little confused, but still responded.

There are some things that Xu Rongrong cannot say more about.

After all, Luming Street at this time was still a remote alley in the West City, because it was very close to Honglu Temple. Many foreign businessmen with high noses and blue eyes lived there, and people from this dynasty rarely went in and out there.

But Xu Rongrong knew that this year, the emperor would follow the advice of the third prince, reduce taxes on cross-border trade, and also add a large number of trade officers from outsiders to manage the traders in their respective countries.By that time, all countries will send envoys to Beijing, and the small Honglu Temple is far from enough to live in. The small courtyard on Luming Street has become a hot commodity, and the land price has increased five times in just one year.

She doesn't have much money now, and she will have to leave the Xu family to be self-reliant in the future. If she wants to make money quickly in the short term, she cannot let go of this opportunity.

Just after he finished his instructions, Wen Yao came in and said that his wife had sent a set of hair and masks for his lady to wear when she went to the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet tomorrow.

When Xu Rongrong heard about the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, she felt inexplicably irritable.

Playing with the flashy gilt head and face in her hand, she had some calculations in her mind.

At night, she took Wen Yao to the stables in the backyard, and when no one was watching, she cracked the axle of one of the carriages.

……

In the afternoon of the next day, the entire capital was busy.

Because today is the annual Chinese Valentine's Day feast.

This is a banquet prepared by the queen herself, and the monarch and his ministers enjoy it together.

The unmarried children of Beijing officials met each other calmly at banquets in the company of their parents, which did not violate etiquette and law and allowed them to observe each other's words and deeds at close range.If he sees the right person, the emperor will marry him on the spot.

Unlike previous years when only officials of the third rank and above were invited to the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the emperor's marriage, and officials of the sixth rank and above are specially invited to attend the banquet with their relatives.

In the previous life, Xu Rongrong was given a marriage to Mu Rong on this night.

Tonight, she would not make the same mistake again. She would just sit in the corner and eat and drink. After the banquet was over, she could return to the Xu Mansion safely and concentrate on making money.

Just after midnight, Mrs. Xu Liu took Aunt Ping to Xu Rongrong's room.

Wearing a pear blossom white dress, the eldest daughter of the Xu family is set off with her black hair like clouds and skin like gelatin.The bright eyes and white teeth on the moon-white face are unparalleled in beauty.

At this time, she was spreading her arms lightly, and Zhu Wenyao tied a lotus-colored sachet around her waist.

The slender waist is not too tight, and the chest is full and full.

Xu Liu couldn't help frowning: Xu Rongrong seemed to be a different person after not seeing him for a few days, and there were no signs of poisoning at all.But this is good, it will make it easier for her to succeed.

She collected her emotions and said, "If everything is done, we will set off in half an hour."

Because Xu Chaoqian was only a sixth-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry and had the lowest rank among all the officials attending the banquet, he needed to arrive at the palace before other officials and could only leave after all the officials had left.

The Xu Mansion was an hour away from the palace city, not to mention that the closer it was to the palace city, the more dignitaries gathered. It would be troublesome to accidentally bump into the nobles on the road, so they had to set off early.

Xu Rongrong nodded and said, "I understand."

Her voice was soft and melodious, which made Xu Liu roll her eyes in her heart: Hu Meizi!

Turning around and leaving the Wutong Courtyard, I saw the young man at the second door whispering something to Grandma Ping.

Mrs. Xu Liu was very impatient when she saw this. After Manager Liu was abolished, Xu Mansion had no one in charge for a while, and everything was out of order. The boy from the second door actually dared to enter the inner courtyard now, what a shame!

She walked over: "What's the matter?"

Aunt Ping had just kicked the boy away. When she saw Mrs. Xu Liu's expression, she knew that her master was angry, so she said cautiously: "The carriage that the ladies usually take when they go out breaks down. I'm afraid of damaging my wife, so I came here specially." Show me."

Mrs. Xu Liu snorted coldly: "Don't you still have an old car? It was just refurbished a few days ago. It's just right for that girl."

"That car was just repainted, but the inside is already in bad condition. I'm afraid I'll get motion sickness if I sit there for a long time."

"What's the matter? Do you feel sorry for her?" Xu Liu raised his eyebrows.

Aunt Ping quickly understood: "Old slave, I'll go down and give you instructions."

So, when Xu Rongrong went out, he saw a carriage with fresh paint but a rotten smell waiting for him.

Xu Chaoqian naturally didn't notice this. He and Xu Liu got into another carriage.

Xu Rongrong curled her lips and handed Luo Shu a piece of ginger: "Put it under your nose."

Then, he got in the car quietly.

The two carriages left the Xu Mansion one after another. Luo Shu, who had not been out for a long time, excitedly raised the curtains and looked around.

Xu Rongrong leaned against the car wall and closed her eyes to rest.

It had been a long time since she had ridden in such a shaky carriage. Fortunately, she was prepared, so she didn't feel too uncomfortable.

I don’t know how long it took, but outside the car window it became more and more lively. Carriages from various provinces gradually came and slowly gathered in the direction of the palace.

"Master Liu came early. I will definitely have a few more drinks with you tonight."

"Hahaha, it turns out to be Mr. Xue. You can't make mistakes in front of the emperor."

"Don't worry, I know it well. Oh, is this Mr. He? Is there a newlywed wife in the car?"

"..."

Luo Shu covered his mouth and smiled: "These officials are serious on weekdays, but they chatter like ordinary people no matter how they stick together."

Xu Rongrong opened his eyes: "There is no difference between officials and common people."

Just as he was talking, a burst of hearty laughter came from outside: "Marquis Weiyuan came so early? Why haven't I seen you wearing a red robe recently? Today's green robe makes the general less murderous and more Friendly and elegant.”

"Master Xiao, that's ridiculous." A deep male voice broke into Xu Rongrong's heart, leaving her stunned for a moment.

The carriage was still swaying, and the curtains fluttered from time to time as the carriage jolted. Through the gap in the curtains, she caught a glimpse of a tall and agile figure approaching on horseback.

The man on the horse seemed to feel something. He turned his horse's head and looked beyond the crowd into the car, but his view was blocked by the curtains that fell at the right time.
