Chapter 46: Ten Thousand Taels (22)
Zoya motioned for her entourage to take out the money.
The attendant took out a piece of silver and handed it to the bustard.
The old bustard said: "We miss this value, and it is not enough to see this bit of silver, but Lan Gongzi didn't see it just now, just asked for advice, and the silver given is much more than this, and several masters saw it with their own eyes just now." She had already judged from the clothes on these people that they were rich and powerful masters, and she couldn't just let them use this money to send them away.
The attendant looked disdainful, rolled his eyes, and took out another ingot of silver and put it in the old bustard's hand.
The bustard coughed lightly and stuffed the silver into his pocket, but did not give way, and his hand came out again.
"You ......" The entourage looked angry, but at Zoya's signal, he took out another ingot of silver and stuffed it into the old bustard's hand, and when he saw that the old bustard's hand did not retract, he had to stuff another ingot, and even his face turned red with anger.
Seeing that these people were almost blackmailed by her, the old bustard put on a brighter smile on his face, got out of the way, and shouted happily: "Xiaohuan, take this guest officer to see Niannian!" ”
When Xiao Yahuan took a few people to the second floor, outside the door of Chu Nian's room, Xiao Yahuan knocked on the door, and Zoya saw that the door was opened by a girl of the same age as herself, who looked very beautiful and very bright.
Although it was only a first meeting, Zoya still felt that this woman's temperament was very different from others, and the pride in her bones seemed to be a little better than that of a noble-born princess.
The other party doesn't seem to be from a Qinglou, but a literati who is respected by the world.
She said, "You are the Left Bank Mountain Man?" ”
When she was looking, Zhao Feiyan also looked at her, and then said coolly: "No." ”
Zhao Feiyan is still a little skeptical, even if she is the princess of Xiwanguo, how can such a little girl help them clean up Yang Jie's scum?
Zoya had already entered the house, and seeing that a group of five big and three thick entourages also wanted to follow up, Zhao Feiya stretched out her hand to stop her, and said, "Several, my sister only promised to see this distinguished guest, so please wait outside the door!" ”
The leader of the retinue said angrily: "What if my little son is in danger? ”
Zhao Feiyan: "If you don't worry, the second window on the left side of the street is the window of this room." I'll open the window, and you can go out into the street and see what's going on in the room through the window, or you can go up to the roof and keep watch. But they are not allowed to enter the room. "A bunch of big men still want to enter Chu Nian's room? Li Wenzuo came, she felt that she had defiled her sister's room!
The attendant looked at Zoya, who had already entered the house.
Zoya: "What's so much trouble?" Stand guard at the door! "She's not weak. A nation that lives on horseback all year round, even if she is a princess and lives in the palace most of the time, she still has a few kung fu skills.
To tell the truth, Chu Nian learned through the plot that Princess Zoya would be slighted by Yang Jie, but in the original plot, it was Zoya who directly discounted one of Yang Jie's legs, and the rest of the sons and brothers were also injured.
Chu Nian deliberately made a move that day in order to make Ji want Zoya to help. In fact, Zoya didn't need her to make a move at all, otherwise they wouldn't have the courage to appear in Wujue Mountain alone at that point in time.
Although she didn't need someone else to take action, Zoya could also teach Yang Jie and the others a lesson, but she was still grateful to the man in black who helped her. As soon as she entered the house, she smelled a faint scent, and immediately recognized that it was the scent brought by the person who had helped her on the eve of dawn that day.
Her eyes fell on the girl who was sitting elegantly at the table sipping tea, and saw that this girl's gestures were not graceful, which made people dare not despise it at the same time, but it was a little easy-going, and people couldn't help but want to get close.
"Childe, please be seated." Chu Nian raised his hand and lightly pointed to the seat opposite him, and said softly.
Zoya walked over and sat down, inexplicably sitting up straight. She was curious: "The fragrance in this room really smells, is it the incense commonly used in your Eastern Chu Kingdom?" ”
Zhao Feiyan had already shut the entourage out of the door, walked over and said, "This is the incense that my sister made with sycamore snow and purple bamboo, yam and other plants, and most of them are not available in others." ”
Zoya was surprised in her heart, and looked at Chu Nian carefully. Not only did she see Chu Nian's eyebrows and eyes carefully, but even Chu Nian's size was carefully compared with the person who saved her that day.
"Have we seen each other before?" Zoya asked with a smile.
Chu Nian pretended to be at a loss: "Why did the son say this? ”
Zoya raised her eyebrows and said, "If you don't want to admit it, forget it." She also knew that Yang Jie's bastard was rich and powerful in the Eastern Chu State, and the Queen Mother could rely on, not something that a Qinglou woman could afford to provoke.
She turned around and said, "By the way, it turns out that the girls of your Eastern Chu Kingdom also like Wutong Snow?" Wutong snow is an incense developed by Xiwan Kingdom. ”
Chu Nian nodded and said, "There are indeed many herb plants in the Western Wan Kingdom that we don't have in the Eastern Chu Kingdom. I heard that the envoys of Xiwan Kingdom came to visit a few years ago, and they brought a lot of precious herbs that only grow in Xiwan. ”
Zoya: "It should be, I'll ...... this time" Speaking of this, she only realized in hindsight, why didn't she seem to be a native of Eastern Chu, but was talking to this girl as a native of Xiwan?
She quickly changed her words and said, "I mean, I heard that the envoys of Xiwan Kingdom also brought a lot of precious herbs with them during their visit this time. ”
Chu Nian's face was curious, and he said, "Oh? It is said that the last time the envoy of Xiwan Kingdom visited, he brought a herb called Ziyu Tianxiang, and I don't know if the envoy of Xiwan Kingdom also brought the same herb this time?! ”
"There's a ...... about this," Zoya said halfway through and then changed her words, "...... I mean, it's not something from my backyard, and I really don't know if anyone has it. ”
Zhao Feiyan almost laughed out loud when she saw it on the side: Just this stupid girl, this means that she has no intention of harming people when she meets her sister, otherwise she will not be destroyed in minutes against someone like Yang Jie!
In other words, Zoya accused Yang Jie of belittleing her in public at the banquet, can people like Yang Jie let Zoya go? I hope that my sister can really let this Princess Zoya do it before Yang Jie, so that she can take the lead, and maybe she can really clean up that Yang Jie.
Zhao Feiyan's various worries, Chu Nian already looked as usual and said to Zoya again: "I heard that the last envoy's visit was received by Lord Yang Jie Yang......
"Yang Jie?" Zoya paid attention when she heard it, "Is that Yang Jie, who is the nephew of the Queen Mother?" ”
Chu Nian smiled helplessly: "Otherwise, which Yang Jie is there?!" After a pause, she added: "The strange thing is that there seems to be no such smell in the herbs that were paid tribute to the royal family back then. ”
Zoya: "No? "Is Yang Jie greedy? This herb can be regarded as the most precious herb in Xiwan Kingdom, Yang Jie actually dares to be greedy? Her eyes rolled.
