Chapter 442 Eliminate Obstacles
The maid left, and Qiu's mother came to congratulate her: "Princess, this is a good thing. The old lady said that it is rare that you have a deep relationship with Princess Yinhua, so the Holy Majesty made this arrangement. Also, the one who came out of this palace The painter inevitably has a bit of arrogance, and the princess should take care of her."

After finishing speaking, Mother Qiu raised her head to look at Chu Liangrao's expression, and saw that she lowered her eyes, not knowing how much she listened to.

"Mom." Chu Liangrao shouted suddenly, "Do you know that Jinxiufang in the capital wants to buy a store?"

"Of course I've heard about it." Qiu's mother lowered her voice, "The princess mentioned this to the old lady before, and the old lady said that we serious princes and nobles don't need to practice the way of business, and even told the princess "Looking around, she said again, "But the old servant will not listen to advice when he looks at the princess."

Such rhetoric was nothing more than trying to win Chu Liangrao's favor, Chu Liangrao nodded and said, "It is risky if you don't have experience in this business field."

"It's still the princess who thinks clearly." Mother Qiu echoed with a smile.

Before she came, the old lady had explained this matter, she was still thinking about how to speak, but unexpectedly the princess raised this matter by herself, and it seemed that she didn't want to interfere, so the stone in her heart was relieved a little.

Seeing Chu Liangrao's gentle expression, Qiu's mother said again: "The old slave has been out for some time, it's time to say goodbye."

"En." Chu Liangrao only responded lightly, then looked away, and asked about Mama Du's family affairs.

Mother Qiu wanted to listen to a few more words, but she couldn't slap herself in the face, so she had to get up and leave first.

After leaving the door, Mother Qiu couldn't help but muttered complainingly: "I've run this trip, I've run out of good things to say, and I don't even have a tea money." Sighing, she said with emotion, "Second Miss Wen is still generous. She came in the door..."

"Mother Qiu is really dissatisfied." A young servant replied, "Just when I went out, I said that the princess didn't even give a reward, and that Miss Wen was generous."

"I think I have received a lot of benefits." Chu Liangrao smiled and said, "Is there any reward for her, but yours is indispensable."

"How can this be done? The Lord has ordered you to do what the princess told you to do well. It's just to inquire about the news. How dare you accept the reward from the princess."

Chu Liangrao said: "My lord also ordered you not to accept reward money?"

The boy scratched his head, showing a naive expression: "I never said that."

"Since it's given to you, you just keep it." Chu Liangrao said with a smile.

After the little servant left, Chu Liangrao went back to the back room.

Qiu's mother sent her this news with the intention of flattering her, but she had expected that Mrs. Gu would have such thoughts.After all, the Gu family in the palace can't make money. If she wants to make a fortune, she has to find another way out.

However, with the old lady coming forward to stop her, it is estimated that Mrs. Gu will be in great difficulty. It seems that I have to help her.

Thinking about it, Chu Liangrao ordered Mother Du to go back to the palace to discuss with Gu.

It was the first time that Madam Du went straight to Gu's courtyard after entering the palace.

The aggrieved Mother Qiu whispered a few words in the old lady's ear: "The old lady went to tell the princess kindly, but she didn't want the princess to be ungrateful. Instead, she went to the princess... It's all because of the old slave's ineffectiveness."

The old lady said helplessly: "How can I blame you, don't I understand my granddaughter's temper?"

"Before the princess asked the old slave about Jinxiufang, the old slave was quick to tell about the princess, will the princess know?" Qiu's mother looked worried, and clapped her mouth and said, "It's all about the old slave. Mouth made a mistake."

The old lady stopped her and said: "Forget it, I'm just worrying about it. They can do whatever they want. Don't wait until they lose money before crying in front of my old lady."

Seeing that the old lady left her alone, Mother Qiu felt a little relieved, completely unaware that she was being counted.

At this time, Mrs. Gu looked at Madam Du coldly: "Although the princess is your master, he is also a child. This is a little less thoughtful. It is not so easy to talk about opening a store. What's the use of having money?"

Du's mother looked embarrassed and stood there, not knowing how to explain.

Mrs. Gu continued: "Go back and persuade the princess carefully, this idea is absolutely unacceptable. At the beginning, the ten shops of her dowry were optimistic about it before thinking about it."

When it came to the fake store, Mama Du became more and more embarrassed.

Seeing her expression, Mrs. Gu knew that Chu Liangrao must have lost money, and she couldn't help feeling secretly happy, but her face became more serious: "It's not that I, a mother, didn't help her, it's just that I didn't wake up." After thinking about it, how many gossips and gossips are there in Jinxiufang? Why bother to join in the fun? If you lose your money, what will you do? Ah Rao can't stand the excitement..."

"The concubine is still thoughtful, but the old slave is not thinking about it." Mother Du said, showing remorse on her face.

If it's someone else, Gu's mother knows best what kind of person Du is. Good idea.

Sighing, Gu said: "You are also an old man in the family, why are you being confused at this time."

"The old slave also persuaded me." Madam Du affirmed Gu's thoughts, her face full of helplessness.

"The princess is so young and energetic. You can't persuade him anymore. When the county horse comes back, you let the county horse come forward." Gu said.

Mama Du's eyes lit up.

After sending Mama Du away, Mrs. Gu snorted disdainfully: "What the hell, you still want to fight with me."

When Mrs. Du returned to the mansion, she said exactly what she had said to Mrs. Gu: "The one who went directly to Wangfei's courtyard didn't even say hello to the old lady."

Chu Liangrao nodded in satisfaction, now that Mrs. Gu can sit back and relax, and she has cast the bait, waiting for someone to take the bait.

Next, she just needs to wait quietly for the painter to come to draw the portrait.

On the second day, the artist and other people from the palace came to meet the ceremony together. The artist who came was not as arrogant as the old lady said, on the contrary, he was very bookish, knowledgeable, and did not put on the airs of an artist.

Presumably, it was because of the orders of the Holy One that he was so humble.

Chu Liangrao knew what to wear, so he said, "I don't know what to wear, so please help me to come up with an idea."

"The Princess can do whatever she wants." The artist said, "I will figure it out."

Chu Liangrao nodded, didn't say much, just sat on the seat and let the painter paint.

She is a person with two bodies, so her back will inevitably become tight after sitting for a long time. Even though Mother Du had already prepared a cushion, Chu Liangrao still couldn't bear it.Fortunately, the painter also has eyesight. When he sees Chu Liangrao working hard, he will stop and tell her to rest first before continuing.
