"Grandma, I won a lot of money by betting on Master Ling. I'm going to give you this ten thousand taels as a gift. Please accept it."

Xie Zhaozhao respectfully handed a silver note worth ten thousand taels to Old Madam Xie.

That banknote was not a banknote, it was a slap.

He slapped Xu hard and also slapped Tu.

They were so angry that their faces changed.

However, after a while, they all revived with full health.

What are you so proud of? On the Dragon Boat Festival, I received the news of Gu Shaoyu's death. I hope you can keep your money steady. Also, you can keep your money steady in this life.

Xu: From now on, all your money will belong to my Xiang'er.

Mrs. Tu: Your money will belong to my grandson from now on.

"Since the eldest lady doesn't mind, then it's settled. Prince Gu and the second lady will be engaged on the Dragon Boat Festival."

Xie Zhaozhao: I don’t care, please do as you please!

While Mrs. Tu and Mrs. Xu discussed the betrothal gift, Xie Zhaozhao decided not to stay long with her grandmother and left.

After leaving Wutong Garden, Xie Zhaozhao said to Yuanyuan, "Take the five thousand taels of silver note and send it to Dongqin, saying that he has done a good job and reward him."

Dongqin quickly followed Yuanyuan back and expressed his gratitude outside the yard.

Xie Zhaozhao looked at Dongqin and said with a smile: "You don't have to thank me, I still have something I need you to do."

***

Since the peony flower party that day, Gu Chengyan has been staying in South City and has not dared to return to the Marquis' Mansion.

First, he was afraid of being punished by the family, second, he was afraid that Guan Yingying would be upset, and third, he was afraid that Yin Jinan would catch him and demand the 15,000 taels of silver.

He also went to his grandfather's home in Ouyang County and registered Guan Yingying's household registration.

But Wang Fugui was unlucky. He met those bad guys like Yin Jinan and Li Yunmu several times when he went out. Every time they saw him, they asked him "When will you pay back the money you owe me?" and if he didn't give it, they would beat him to death.

He was tricked to death by Madam Guan!

Another unlucky person was the Tu family.

Gu Chengyan had been hiding, and the Marquis and the old lady scolded her every day for not raising her son well.

Of course she knew where Gu Chengyan was, but if she was asked to go to Nancheng to find Gu Chengyan, she would definitely not go. That shameless bitch had stolen her son's heart and tricked her daughter into never being able to enter the palace. She wished she could skin her alive.

She called Wang Fugui and asked him to go and find Gu Chengyan, saying that the engagement would be announced on the Dragon Boat Festival and he must come back.

She was almost scolded to death by the old lady and the marquis.

Wang Fugui changed his clothes, put on a bamboo hat, and drove the most inconspicuous carriage towards the south city.

Not long after leaving the house, someone called out in surprise, "Wang Fugui?"

Wang Fugui looked over and saw a man he didn't recognize. He looked quite imposing.

"Who are you? Did you recognize the wrong person?"

The man smiled widely and said, "You're right, brother. We met at the palace gate a few days ago!"

"Why don't I remember you?"

"You are such a forgetful person! At the Peony Flower Festival, at the gate of the Imperial Palace, you told us a lot of truths, and you even slapped Miss Gu in the face. Have you forgotten?"

Wang Fugui shuddered with fear.

"You got the wrong person. I wasn't in the capital a few days ago."

That day, Guan Yingying disguised herself as him and went to the palace. When she came back, she was beaten by the Marquis and almost sold out.

My butt still hurts now.

"Brother Fugui, don't be so modest. How could we make a mistake in recognizing Master Gu's man? I am Dong Jin, have you forgotten?" The man blew a whistle, and three or four servants came over, and everyone called "Brother Fugui" affectionately.

So many people recognize you, it can’t be wrong!

They all wanted to buy him a drink, saying that he spoke very well and they admired him very much, as they had never heard such novel ideas in their lives.

Dong Jin grabbed his horse without saying a word, and the others carried him towards the tavern.

"Brother Fugui, we'd like to invite you to drink." A servant said with sparkling eyes, "I wasn't there at the time, so you can tell me more about it."

Wang Fugui:......

Me, I talk a hammer!

God knows what social principles that crazy woman talked about?

He said helplessly, "I have something urgent to do. Can we talk about it later when I have time?"

"Okay, we'll wait for you at Baihua Tower. How about that? We brothers will pool our money and treat you to some wine."

Dong Jin said, stuffing him with a few golden melon seeds, "Brother Fugui, take this thank you gift first."

Wang Fugui had never seen such a good thank-you gift before. Golden melon seeds, it was the first time he had seen them.

Dong Jin saw that he was interested, so he leaned over and whispered, "Our nobleman said that if you speak the truth once, you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. If you can come up with a good plan for governing the country, you will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver."

Wang Fugui was shocked. No wonder these people were so generous. It turned out that there was an important person who wanted to listen to reason.

He is about to die, how can he talk?

He suddenly felt that the golden melon seeds were extremely hot.

They wanted to go back, but the man said, "If you don't come, I can find you at the Marquis' Mansion," and turned around and ran away with a group of people.

Wang Fugui looked at the golden melon seeds in his hand, feeling itchy and scared, and put them away carefully.

After arriving in South City, he parked his carriage at Guan Yingying's grocery store and walked to Tianhou Lane.

When he met Gu Chengyan, he lowered his head and said that the Marquis's wife asked him to go home, and then secretly glanced at Guan Yingying.

Gu Chengyan got angry when he saw him like this, and scolded: "Where are you looking at? Only a dog slave like you can peek at the lady?"

Wang Fugui knelt down and told about meeting several fans on the road.

He took out two of the gold melon seeds that Dong Jin had given him and gave them to Gu Chengyan: "These are the gold melon seeds they sent me. They said they wanted to ask me to reason with them. If there is a good strategy for governing the country, ten thousand gold is nothing."

He had a sad face and said that he didn't want the golden melon seeds either, but the other party gave them to him and ran away.

Gu Chengyan felt his head buzzing and cursed, "You're driving a carriage, can't you catch up?"

Wang Fugui said aggrievedly: "It's hard to turn the carriage around. How can I chase them if they go into the alley?"

"Do you have any good plans for governing the country? You know nothing, yet you still act so arrogant!" Gu Chengyan kicked Wang Fugui hard.

Guan Yingying became more and more excited as she listened, interrupting the quarrel and saying, "Show me the golden melon seeds."

She has never seen golden melon seeds!

Wang Fugui gave her the golden melon seeds. She pinched them and looked at them. She felt that the golden melon seeds were indeed well made. In the era of pure handmade products, it was indeed top-notch craftsmanship.

"Stop arguing, both of you. I'll go and talk."

Guan Yingying said with sparkling eyes, "This noble person who wants to hear good advice on governing the country must be an avant-garde reformer! By giving them lectures, I will not only earn a fortune, but also promote the progress of the entire society!!"

"Yingying, you can't go. The situation is different from your hometown now."

"It is precisely because things are different that we need change, isn't it? Since ancient times, those who initiated change were all powerful people, maybe the crown prince, a prince, or some capable minister of state... Hey, it can't be your third uncle, right?"

"Yingying, you don't understand. Don't go."

"When people live in this world, there are always some social responsibilities that cannot be shirked. Gu Chengyan, you are not just thinking of keeping me in captivity to give birth to your children, are you?"

Guan Yingying is full of ambition. Her chance to change the times and go down in history has come.
