The prince wanted more, but Smith said that they only had these spare ones on board, and that there was only enough for them to have one.

At this point, the prince couldn't force it, so he asked Smith to send someone to stop at the ship in Nanzhou to get the musket.

Smith naturally agreed, and he himself began to learn martial arts from the guard commander, but fortunately, they were hand-in-hand teaching, rarely involving conversations, and naturally Hua Ronghua was not needed.

What's more, since Smith and Gong Xichu have made a bet on the city, she still holds her breath in her heart! He refused to stay as a translator.

"If they want to use a translator, they can find Shopkeeper Xie." Hua Ronghua prevaricated: "Besides, I still have to keep an eye on the situation of the exhibition!" ”

What else did the prince want to say, Mr. Xiao whispered something next to him, and as soon as the prince looked up, he saw Gong Xichu who was looking nervously and angrily, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

"Grandpa Cui, let's take someone on a trip, and let Shopkeeper Xie accompany Count Shi."

"Yes." Father-in-law Cui respectfully bowed, and then went down to send someone to do something.

The prince looked at the husband and wife who were far away from each other, and asked with a smile: "General Gongxi wants to go to the East Palace with this king, and Mrs. Hua is afraid that she will not be able to go home until the end of the fair." ”

"I'm not going home!" Hua Ronghua hurriedly shouted out, and said with some annoyance: "Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgotten to promise my conditions?" ”

Gong Xichu swallowed the words he was about to say back into his stomach and glared at the pot-bellied woman, "What did you say?" ”

Although his voice was not loud and there were no special movements, Hua Ronghua just felt that his gaze was like two clusters of substantial flames burning his skin painfully.

Hua Ronghua subconsciously hid two steps to the side, getting closer to the prince, but he refused to accept and said, "I said I won't go back!" ”

"You ......"

"Okay, let's talk about it after we get to the East Palace." The prince stopped the man who wanted to get angry, Gong Xichu, and the group went to the East Palace.

When he arrived at the East Palace, the prince said to Hua Ronghua: "General Gongxi is injured and has to drink medicine, Mrs. Hua will take care of General Gongxi first, the matter of the exhibition is not in a hurry, there is still an afternoon!" ”

Hua Ronghua wanted to object, but when he saw Gong Xichu's faintly bloodshot palm, he didn't say anything about refusal. The two entered a room, one sat on the bed, and the other found a stool and sat far away in the doorway.

After a long time, Gong Xichu, who was still sitting on the bed, took the lead in opening his mouth, "Don't you have to go to bed and sleep for a while?" He remembered that the woman had been very sleepy since she was pregnant.

"No need, you're injured, let's sleep!" Hua Ronghua propped one hand on the table, and half of his body leaned up.

Gong Xichu raised his injured right hand to look at it, and asked her, "Do you care about my injury?" ”

"Of course!" Hua Ronghua paused and said: "I will care about anyone who is injured, after all, I am a kind person!" ”

If Gong Xichu had heard her say this before, he would have laughed at her, but now he can't laugh.

"Why run away from home?" In fact, from the moment they first met, Xichu wanted to ask this sentence.

Hua Ronghua lowered his gaze and rubbed his sleeves with his hands, but did not answer Gongxi Chu's words.

Gong Xichu was a little anxious in his heart, "Are you talking about it!" As soon as the words came out, he said in a soothing tone: "I just want to know the reason, do you know that it is dangerous for you to run out alone with a big belly." ”

"Is it me or my child who is in danger?" Hua Ronghua suddenly raised his head and asked.

After waiting for a long time, he didn't expect Hua Ronghua to say this, Gongxi Chu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Isn't this the same?" ”

"How can it be the same?" Hua Ronghua sneered, "Doesn't your family only want children and don't want me?" ”

Gong Xichu frowned, how could he feel so uncomfortable to hear her exclude herself from the Bofu like this? couldn't help but say in an accentuated tone: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Don't be vexatious! Do you know how worried your grandmother is when you sneak away? And you've gone to other men, have you ever thought about my feelings? ”

"When did I go to another man's? I'm just going to Yunqiu to help buy a house and borrow her for the time being! Hua Ronghua didn't want to be detained, so he retorted directly, "As for coming to the East Palace, didn't the prince send someone to report to the old lady?" ”

If Hua Ronghua was a little dissatisfied with the prince's excessive move at that time, now he is full of gratitude.

Gongxi Chu choked, and said angrily: "Then why did you run away from home?" He said he was looking for me, but he didn't even see a shadow! If it weren't for the prince sending someone to deliver the letter, how long would you hide? ”

"Originally, I was going to look for you, but then I thought about it if you slapped me again like last time, wouldn't I be bored with myself? So in order not to be beaten, I naturally had to hide! Hua Ronghua met Gong Xichu's annoyed and questioning gaze, and did not show weakness.

Listening to Hua Ronghua's words, Gong Xichu's originally round eyes subconsciously shrank, she was still minding! In fact, he himself felt that since the beating because his cousin beat her, Hua Ronghua felt a little wrong, and he always felt as if this woman was separated by something when facing him.

"Don't talk nonsense, how could I beat you, I only did it last time when you hurt my cousin." Gongxi Chu moved out the reasons that persuaded him countless times.

"But this time I offended your cousin!" Hua Ronghua looked at him with a smile.

Gong Xichu was silent again, the reason for the incident was of course that he also listened to what his grandmother said, and only after a while did he say: "Is that house really smashed by Cousin Yan'er?" I grew up with her, and although she was arrogant, she didn't have the guts to smash it. ”

"Yo,It turned out to be a childhood sweetheart! No wonder you know so deeply! Hua Ronghua said in a strange tone.

Gong Xichu's face darkened, and he roared: "Put away the filth in your head, my cousin and I are very innocent." ”

"Don't take me for a fool!" Hua Ronghua was furious and stood up suddenly, "Why would you offend Yong'anbo if you are innocent with her?" Why was he assigned to Anping County? Can you beat me in front of her if you are innocent of her? Have you ever wondered how I feel? Are you deceiving me that I don't have my mother's backer as a backer, so I can only let the people of your Kanglebo Mansion rub it round and flatten? ”

Gongxi Chu looked at her quietly, strangely not angry, but just watched her breath slowly stabilize before asking, "Is this the reason why you asked the prince for a house?" ”

Hua Ronghua was stunned for a moment, and then craned his neck and said: "Yes, I just want to earn a house where I can make my own decisions and live with peace of mind, and I will no longer be under the jurisdiction of your Kanglebo Mansion!" She thought Gong Xichu would be angry, but who knew that the man just looked at her quietly, and finally said 'I know' and walked out.

When he passed in front of him, Hua Ronghua opened his mouth to keep him, but he didn't know how to speak, and watched him walk out of the house.

The fair was undoubtedly a success, and at the end of the first day, in addition to the service fees of the merchants and the entrance fees of the people, it was the commissions of those goods that accounted for the lion's share.

Because I know that the people who come to the trade fair today are some dignitaries, so the prices set by those merchants are relatively high, and those nobles are naturally unwilling to worry about these 'small profits', so the final commission is also a lot, and the whole situation is completely a win-win situation!

"How much did you earn today? Twenty-seven thousand taels? The prince looked at the account book in his hand and couldn't believe it.

Mr. Xiao bowed slightly, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face, "Yes, Your Highness, if you add the service fee collected yesterday, we have earned a total of nearly 40,000 taels of silver." ”

"Great, it's a drop in the bucket for the treasury, but if you earn so much every day......" The prince paced back and forth with the account book in his hand.

"Your Highness, the fair will only last for three days." Mr. Xiao reminded from the side.

"That's ......" The prince looked at Hua Ronghua, who was sitting quietly on the side, "Mrs. Hua, what do you think about the postponement of the exhibition?" ”

Hua Ronghua was in a trance, and she didn't hear the prince's words at all, and she didn't come back to her senses until Mr. Xiao raised his voice next to him and shouted again.

"Mrs. Hua doesn't seem to be in good spirits, is it because General Gongxi is not in the East Palace?" The prince kindly asked, and Gongxi Chu had said goodbye to him and returned to Kanglebo's Mansion.

"It's not." Hua Ronghua's smile was a little far-fetched. In fact, the reason why she slipped away was indeed because of Gong Xichu. Just imagine what it is like when you muster up enough courage and strength to share your strength with him, but suddenly disappear, as if a bullet just about to shoot exploded. Hua Ronghua would rather Gongxi Chu quarrel with him, rather than be depressed here by such a person.

But when she heard the prince ask, she refused to admit it, but asked, "Your Highness, is there anything wrong with the exhibition?" ”

Mr. Xiao said on the side: "There is no problem, but the results are so remarkable, is it postponed for another two days?" "Even if the prince is satisfied with the fair, it is impossible for the prince to answer her question about a courtier and concubine at any time, after all, the identity is there!

Hua Ronghua didn't think as much as he thought, only frowned and shook his head: "But the notice has already said that it's not good to change it after three days, right?" And it may not be possible to make so much money in the next two days. ”

Listening to her words, the prince and Mr. Xiao were disappointed, but it was undeniable that what Hua Ronghua said was very reasonable, and they didn't expect it before, but they were just a little unwilling.

"If you want to carry out another trade fair, you can concentrate the supply of goods and open it in other cities!" Hua Ronghua said again, "It's better for Your Highness to exchange some Fanbang goods with them while the Fanbang people are still there, and you can auction them in other cities." ”

"Auction?" It was not easy for the prince and Mr. Xiao to understand the meaning of the fair, but they heard a new word.

"Well, to put it simply, the auction is to find a more powerful, that is, rich people into a venue, and then there are special personnel to introduce the goods to be auctioned, and finally set a reserve price, those who want to bid, the highest price gets, so that we earn more."

"Mrs. Hua is worthy of being the granddaughter-in-law of Mrs. Kang Lebo, and this business ability is really better than blue." Mr. Xiao sighed.

The crown prince also nodded beside him, "Mrs. Nahua will go to the Fanbang people to pick up the goods for this king, and this * will pass you!" ”

"Yes."

The next day, the prince had the heart to go to the exhibition again, but he didn't want Gong Xichu to find him with a dignified face.

The prince opened the envelope handed by Gong Xichu, took out the paper inside, opened it, and couldn't help but be taken aback, and subconsciously looked up at him, "This house is ......" What does it mean to send the house to himself early in the morning? Are you planning to give a gift to yourself?
