Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

Chapter 31 The old lady came to her in person to ask for money
What Murong Jiu told Shopkeeper Chai was to open a large-scale colored glaze workshop.

In Dayan, colored glaze is no longer a rare thing, but it is expensive and not many people can afford it.

Rich people prefer pure natural jade, so colored glaze is not easy to sell.

So after Shopkeeper Chai heard Murong Jiu's words, everyone was stunned.

Not only did she want to buy the glaze workshop in the suburbs, she also wanted to expand the scale and produce various styles of glaze in half a month.

Shopkeeper Chai advised: "Princess, the cost of colored glaze is not low, and you want the style to be exquisite. This... this is another huge investment, but you haven't recovered your money in food yet. Will this..."

"Don't worry, I'm not short of money. Just listen to me and do what I say. In half a month, we will make money back several times."

How can Shopkeeper Chai not be worried? No matter how much money he has, this is not how he spends it.

On the food side, there is indeed hope to make a profit, because the rain has been falling for four days and shows no sign of stopping.

Perhaps it is true as the wise and strange princess said, this rain will last for half a month and will affect the harvest of crops.

But he really couldn't figure out what the use of running a glaze workshop was. The glaze was so expensive and there were so few people buying it that he might not even be able to get his capital back.

He couldn't even think about how many times it would be doubled.

But the princess had made up her mind, so he could only follow the arrangements and do his best for the princess.

"Is Master Lou's leg feeling better?"

After Murong Jiu finished explaining, he expressed concern.

"He's much better. He's warming up his books in the room right now. You said you wanted him to stay in bed longer to recuperate, so he didn't come out to see you."

"Take me to see."

There is a backyard inside the rice shop, where Shopkeeper Chai and Lou Zixi live.

Murong Jiu went in and looked at Lou Zixi's leg. He was recovering well these days, but he had to continue lying down after a hundred days of broken bones.

"I'll ask the craftsman to bring you a wheelchair later, so you don't have to lie down all day. Reading like this will hurt your eyes."

"There are many grassroots people. Thank you very much, Princess."

Lou Zixi blushed and said gratefully.

Men and women are not allowed to kiss each other. The princess pinched Lou Zixi's leg just now, and the blush on his face never went away.

Murong Jiu laughed at him, but the scholar didn't take it easy.

He is not the gloomy young man who was depressed and frustrated in his previous life.

After the explanation, Murong Jiu prepared to return home with Chuntao.

Before I got on the sedan, I suddenly saw a carriage approaching quickly through the rain.

She took a closer look and narrowed her cold eyes.

The carriage of the Marquis Mansion.

She actually found her way here. It seems like someone is always keeping an eye on her.

Murong Jiu stood on the steps and watched coldly as Murong Man's maid came out and held up an umbrella. She first helped Murong Man down, and then Murong Man helped the old lady down.

It rained heavily, and when the wind blew, half of the clothes on the old lady's body got wet.

She glared at the maid holding the umbrella angrily: "Why are you holding the umbrella? You can't even lift it well. What's the use of you? You're a waste of time!"

Tsk, it can be seen that the old lady is quite angry. It must not be going well these days.

After the old lady scolded the maid, she looked up and saw Murong Jiu looking at them with a half-smile, and she suddenly became very angry.

"Xiaojiu, now that you have become Princess Ling, do you not even care about me anymore?"

"What did grandma say? It's raining so hard and I can still see grandma. I thought I was dazzled?" She said in a strange way, which made the old lady's face even more ugly. She wished she could catch her and scold her like before. .

"Grandma, let's go up first, don't get all our clothes wet."

Murong Man said softly.

Standing like this, she had to look up to Murong Jiu. Murong Man didn't like this feeling. It gave her the illusion that Murong Jiu was looking down at her.

No matter it was before, now or in the future, she was the one Murong Jiu should look up to.

In her eyes, Murong Jiu was just a village girl who would give up after being used.

The two of them went up the steps and were about to go into the shop. Murong Jiu stood at the door and asked with a smile: "Do grandma and eldest sister want to buy rice?"

"Hmph! I heard that you spent 10 taels of silver to hoard food. I want to see what you are hoarding!"

Murong Jiu was not surprised when he heard this. She didn't hide it. Shopkeeper Chai used her name when buying food in stores. So it was normal for the old lady and the others to know this.

"Grandma didn't say she was hoarding food. What else could it be besides food?"

The old lady choked and turned blue at her words. Of course she didn't come here to see the food, she came to ask for money!

Murong Man tried to smooth things over with a smile: "Xiaojiu, don't get excited. Grandma is worried that you will be deceived by outsiders, so she came to help you. The autumn harvest is coming soon. If you are stocking up on food at this time, Grandma is worried that you won't be able to sell it. "

Shopkeeper Chai was originally thinking that these people were the princess's family members and whether he should invite them in for tea. After hearing this, he understood why the princess was not warm at all.

"Grandma, don't worry. Anyway, my master gave me the money. Even if I lose money, I don't feel bad."

Murong Jiu said deliberately.

If Master heard this, she would have to pluck out her ears.

But in her previous life, all the money she had with her basically went into the pockets of the Hou Mansion and was squandered by those moths.

In this life, no one can take another penny away from her!
The old lady's face turned even more ugly: "You are such an old person, why are you still so willful? You are Princess Ling now. Every move you make is watched by countless people. Aren't you afraid of hurting the prince and being laughed at?"

"But the prince also supports me, otherwise why would he send guards to protect me."

The old lady was speechless now.

Murong Man didn't know when she became so eloquent, so he didn't want to waste time, so he said to the old lady:

"Grandma, you are not in good health and you don't want to see the cold wind. Let's go in and talk to Sister Ninth."

She didn't want outsiders to see them asking Murong Jiu for money.

"What are you talking about? I have something urgent to do and have to go back to the palace. Why don't you come into the palace with me to talk?"

How could they want to go to Prince Ling's Mansion with her to ask for money? If Prince Ling was there then, they would not be able to ask.

Murong Man said quickly: "Sister Ninth, let's just say a few words. It won't take you long. You also know that my father's hand was injured by you. Now he can't move that hand. I still have to go back and take care of my father." .”

This is playing the family card with her.

It was a pity that Murong Jiu already knew that Marquis Murong was not her father, otherwise she would not have hurt him.

"Princess, the prince is waiting for you to return."

At this time, the groom suddenly shouted loudly and wisely.

Murong Jiu laughed in his heart, Xindao Lord Yu Yan's subordinates were all quite interesting.

"Your Majesty is already anxious, so I'll go back to the house first. Grandma and eldest sister really won't come?"

Chuntao also had the foresight to hold up an umbrella and send her to the carriage.
