Chapter 394: Quid pro quo

Thinking like this in her heart, Yan Liu felt even more aggrieved, stomped her feet, and left without looking back.

This also made Prince Rong very angry, and then said to Xie Chengli: "Let Mrs. Xie laugh, my little daughter has been spoiled by me since she was a child, and I don't know who can stand this temper in the future." ”

Xie Chengli replied with a smile: "The county lord is just a true temperament, and it is rare to see a person with such a true temperament as the county lord. ”

"Oh?" Hearing Xie Chengli's answer, Prince Rong raised his eyebrows and said, "Listening to Mrs. Xie's words, it seems that he is very satisfied with my little daughter." ”

Xie Chengli was stunned when he heard this.

Although he has been in and out of officialdom since he was a child, he can be said to be handy and comfortable with the officialdom, but after all, he is still young, and his understanding of the routines of the older generation is still not deep enough.

should have known that this old fox was definitely not so simple to speak, if he said that Yan Liu was not good enough, I am afraid that Rong Wang Ye would immediately blow him out, and there would be no way to talk about this matter of borrowing grain, and if she was good, Rong Wang Ye would definitely push the boat down the river and recommend his daughter to him, not to mention, if Yan Feifei in Kyoto knew, I am afraid that he would have to eat several jars of vinegar again.

Thinking of Yan Feifei, Xie Chengli couldn't help but smile.

Rong Wang Ye has been observing Xie Chengli's expression, although the other party is smiling, but the expression is clearly remembering someone, it seems that the rumors in Kyoto are true, this Xie Chengli has already belonged, but so what? As long as it's something his daughter likes, he will snatch him even if he robs it!

King Rong curled the corners of his mouth without smiling, and said, "What? Is that all I need to answer this question? My little daughter has been obsessed with you since she was a child, and she still yelled that you would not marry, and if she knew about it, I am afraid she would have to be sad for a while. ”

"The prince laughed, the county lord is very smart, even in Kyoto, there are many sons who are devoted to the county lord, how can the county lord be devoted to someone like me."

"Mrs. Xie doesn't have to be humble, who doesn't know Mrs. Xie's excellence? That's it, this matter of children's affection, our older generation should not interfere casually, just let you go, can Mrs. Xie talk about the purpose of coming to Yangzhou this time? In fact, I already knew that Mrs. Xie had come to Yangzhou, and I should have asked Mrs. Xie to come over early in the morning, but it just so happened that some time ago I occasionally felt a cold and felt unwell, so it was delayed for so long, Mrs. Xie wouldn't care, right? ”

"Of course, the prince's body is important, and I also experienced the customs of Yangzhou during this time, it is indeed a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and thanks to the prince's good governance, Yangzhou has become a good place for the people."

This sycophant made Prince Rong very comfortable, touched his beard, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xie has won the award, in fact, I also know what you want to do this time, but because of the incident in Pingzhou County, you want to come over to borrow grain, right?" ”

"The prince is aware of this, it is indeed because of this matter, the people of Pingzhou County were previously fished by corrupt officials, resulting in the people living poorly, and there is no food in the warehouse, if you want to survive this winter, I am afraid it is not so easy, and Kyoto is far away from Pingzhou County, the mountains are high and the water is far away, and there are robbers in the middle, just in case, Your Majesty specially sent me to borrow food from the prince, and I hope that the prince will be generous and helpful, I am not very grateful."

Everyone is a smart person, no matter how much you circle it, it's useless, it's better to talk about it directly.

Although Prince Rong has a holiday with the royal family, he is still a person of Dayan after all, if he still has the people of Dayan in his heart, he should be willing to borrow grain, but ......

"Mrs. Xie, of course you can borrow grain, but if you want to help Pingzhou County survive this cold winter, you can't just use a little food, although I am still rich in Jiangnan, it is just a matter of relieving a few families, but this is the people of this county, if I let Yangzhou bear it all, I am afraid I can't afford it." Prince Rong was scheming, neither agreed to borrow food, nor refused to say no, he was waiting, waiting for an opportunity to exchange conditions.

How could someone as smart as Xie Chengli not know his plans?

The smile on Xie Chengli's face remained unchanged, and he said: "The prince is righteous and thin, and he will not abandon the people of Pingzhou County, if the prince needs to do something, please mention it, as long as it is within my ability, I will be able to satisfy the prince." ”

When Prince Rong heard the answer he wanted to hear, the smile on his face deepened, "Okay, okay, Mrs. Xie is really a cheerful person, I will let people prepare for the matter of borrowing food, during this period, if Mrs. Xie doesn't dislike it, let's stay in King Rong's Mansion." ”

Xie Chengli knew that he had no room to refuse.

"That's going to bother you down there."

After Yan Liu returned to her room, she sulked there alone, but it didn't take long for her personal maid Xiaolan to hurriedly run in, "Miss, Miss! Great news! ”

"Xiaolan, there is no good news to make me happy now."

"Miss, you listen to Xiaolan, this news is guaranteed to make you happy, Miss, Mrs. Xie has lived in our house, just living in Xingyuan, just a few steps away from here, they all say that they will love each other for a long time, Miss, this is a great opportunity!"

"Really? Does Mrs. Xie really live in Xingyuan? After Yan Liu heard the news, she was also very shocked.

But she immediately withered again, sighing.

"Miss, what's wrong with you? Mrs. Xie lives in our house, aren't you happy? Xiaolan also couldn't figure out what Yan Liu was thinking.

"I'm still very self-aware, Mrs. Xie doesn't have me in his heart at all, he definitely won't live because of me, maybe, it's my father who coerced and lured him, in this case, Mrs. Xie will definitely look down on me more and more." Although Yan Liu didn't know what Xie Chengli was doing this time, she must have asked for something from her father, and her father saw her thoughts clearly, and with her father's character, she would definitely use this opportunity to force Xie Chengli.

But wouldn't that make them farther and farther apart?

Xiaolan thought for a while, and came up with an idea on the side, "Miss, as the saying goes, see people's hearts for a long time, and those who are clear are self-purifying, as long as Mrs. Xie gets along with Miss for a long time, you must know what kind of person you are, so ah, Miss, you can't back down now, you should seize every opportunity to show your true self in front of Mrs. Xie, so that Mrs. Xie can be impressed by you!" ”

When Yan Liu heard this, she felt that what Xiaolan said was very reasonable, and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, "Xiaolan, you can, I didn't expect this method to come up with from your head, I am really impressed by you." ”
