Chapter 52: His Highness, Who Is Only Pursuing Power
Jiang Youzhen over there had no idea that someone was unable to sleep at night because of her. After changing into the soft and warm bedding, she had a good sleep all night.
Especially, I had a big meal before going to bed last night. Although it was delicacies from land and sea, the dishes were exquisite, with big fish and meat. My mouth was full of oil!
After eating and drinking, Jiang Youzhen slept until noon.
When she woke up, a little girl came in with water for her to wash.
Looking at the little girl holding the handkerchief, she was only eleven or twelve years old. How could Jiang Youzhen have the nerve to use child labor?
He quickly took the handkerchief and said with a smile, "I'll do it myself."
The main breakfast item is mushroom and shredded chicken porridge, as well as steamed buns, flower rolls, crystal shrimp dumplings and steamed buns, and finally a variety of exquisite cold dishes.
"Is this master always so extravagant? How can the two of us eat so much?"
The varieties were so rich and exquisite that Jiang Fugui didn't know where to start.
Although the quantity of each item is not much, there are so many varieties!
"Dad! Eat! In wealthy families, any food that is not finished will be thrown away."
Jiang Youzhen said this and took the lead to pick up a crystal shrimp dumpling and put it in Jiang Fugui's bowl.
"Ah? That's such a waste?" Jiang Fugui started eating quickly, then thought of his family.
"I don't know if I can take it away. Your mother and sisters never had the chance to eat something so delicious."
"Don't worry! When we have money, we can make it ourselves. It would be rude to take it away."
There are strict rules in wealthy families, and it is a bit embarrassing to eat and take things at the same time.
The two of them devoured a lot of food in no time. This time, Jiang Fugui ate to his heart's content. He ate so fast that Jiang Youzhen was stunned.
It seems that Jiang Fugui usually collects food to save grain.
"Mr. Jiang, my second master wants you to go to the main courtyard to discuss something." Suddenly Zhou Hai's voice came from outside the door.
Is he going to give me money? Jiang Youzhen suddenly became excited.
When Jiang Youzhen arrived, the second prince was feeding a canary in a cage.
Seeing how relaxed and comfortable he looks now, it’s hard to imagine that he was in so much pain yesterday!
"Greetings to the Second Master!" Jiang Youzhen bowed and saluted.
The more gifts you give, the less blame you will feel. I'll give you more later.
The Second Prince looked at her carefully. In his previous life, he was devoted to political intrigue and had never paid attention to this girl's appearance, but he vaguely remembered that she was pretty and had some looks, otherwise he would not have sent her to the Fourth Prince's residence.
However, Tong Huaian probably fell in love with Luo Shuhuan, that woman, because of her connections in the court.
When the second prince saw Jiang Youzhen’s pale and thin appearance, he curled his lips.
It's still a shriveled green bean, nothing special.
Noticing the Second Prince's gaze on him, Jiang Youzhen felt a little puzzled.
Thinking about the fact that the book mentioned that this man only liked to control power, was always plotting and scheming in the court, and never paid any attention to the heroine, he can be considered a breath of fresh air.
But why was he looking at him like that? Jiang Youzhen was very confused.
"The orchid looks good now. I promised you the thousand taels. I won't break my promise."
Jiang Youzhen was delighted. If that’s the case, stop talking nonsense and just give it to me.
“It’s not a disappointment.”
Looking at the obvious joy on Jiang Youzhen's face, the Second Prince was confused again. Could it really be a coincidence?
After all, rebirth is a very mysterious thing, and it is impossible for everyone to be reborn.
"But I heard that your homemade nutrient water has a different price?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Youzhen glanced at the Second Prince carefully, but the Second Prince had a blank expression on his face and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Ahem! It was extracted using a lot of precious medicinal materials..."
"I'll give you two hundred taels more!" The second prince interrupted her impatiently. The medicinal herbs were enough to fool the idiot.
Jin Ming: ...Let me make it clear first, I didn’t believe it either, so I’m not an idiot.
"Huh?" Jiang Youzhen was stunned by this surprise. What kind of domineering behavior is this?
"One thousand two hundred taels!" The second prince winked at Zhou Hai beside him, and Zhou Hai immediately stepped forward and handed over the silver note.
Jiang Youzhen took a look and found that it was indeed one thousand two hundred taels, no fake.
"Oh! Thank you so much, Master. No wonder you look so handsome today. It turns out you are kind-hearted, and this is the blessing you have!"
Jiang Youzhen’s words made Zhou Hai burst out laughing. He didn’t realize that this kid had such a clever tongue!
Look at this flattery, even he feels dizzy.
I turned my head to look at His Highness and found that the corners of his mouth were indeed raised.
Should I learn from him in the future? After all, there are too many people who want to replace him.
"One thousand two hundred taels, is that enough for you to settle your family?"
Jiang Youzhen, who was looking at the banknotes happily, was confused when he heard this. What did it mean?
Seeing Jiang Youzhen's confused eyes and his claws picking up the banknotes, he suddenly felt a little cute.
"The orchids are going to be shipped to the capital. To prevent any accidents, I decided to take you with me."
What? Jiang Youzhen felt that her brain was not enough. She wanted to go to Beijing, but not this way!
"Why don't you thank Second Master quickly? Second Master is attracted to you."
When Zhou Hai said this, the two of them stared at him at the same time.
"Ahem! He is impressed by your talent and wants to recruit you to work for him. Our Second Master is of noble status, and it is a great fortune that he has taken a liking to you. Why don't you thank him quickly?"
Thank you for nothing, Jiang Youzhen was speechless.
"I won't go!" Jiang Youzhen shook her head like a rattle. She still wanted to make a fortune! She definitely wouldn't go to the court.
Jiang Youzhen could never have imagined that in the near future she would slap herself in the face, leaving it swollen.
"Oh? Why not? Do you think following me is unfair to you? If you want money, I can give it to you. If you want power, it's not impossible as long as you behave well."
The second prince had a cold face. Is Tong Huaian so good?
In his previous life, he promised her wealth and glory, but this woman was stubborn and insisted on being with Tong Huaian.
Can Tong Huaian compare to wealth and glory? Wouldn't it be nice to be free and unrestrained with money and power? This damn love-brained person.
"Why do one or two people insist on me working for them?"
Jiang Youzhen muttered softly, she just wanted to be the master of her own life, what was the point of working for others?
"Who else wants you to work for him?" The second prince pricked up his ears. Could it be Tong Huaian?
Why are the ears so pointy? Jiang Youzhen had no choice but to smile.
"It's just that a rich young man wants me to be his servant, but I just want to be with my family."
Jiang Youzhen bowed again, "I appreciate your kindness, but I have no ambitions and I am only good at tending to flowers and plants. I'd rather be a farmer!"
"Just looking at your eloquence, you are not incompetent. Besides, who dares to look down on the care of flowers and plants?" The second prince smiled meaningfully.
"Hehe! I am short-sighted and timid, so I am only suitable to stay in the village."
Jiang Youzhen started to play dumb and said that he would never go to the capital with you, otherwise, wouldn’t he be following the same path as the original owner?
