Chapter 4: Baulstontown (4)

When he was about to run to the dock, Gu Shiyu looked up and suddenly saw an unexpected person, a completely unexpected person! Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Two people walked down from the dock, one was Princess Catherine and the other was ...... Look at the appearance and demeanor, isn't that Lu Yao?

Could it be that this kid took the wrong medicine, saw himself fall off a cliff, was grief-stricken, and jumped into the air and died for his confidant?

This is by no means like Lu Yao's person! It's just that Gu Shiyu looked left and right, up and down, and concluded that he could never be someone else, it was all Lu Yao!

But how did this kid know Catherine, and how could he be so close?

Lu Yao and Catherine passed by the stunned Gu Shiyu, Lu Yao just glanced at him casually, and continued: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I have already asked, the ships that call at the port today are some offshore fleets. They sail only to the ports of the Lost Lands, and basically do not sail into the open sea, and their captains do not know how to get to Erathia. "Isn't that Lu Yao's broken gong voice?

Gu Shiyu was very depressed when he saw that Lu Yao pretended not to know him, and punched Lu Yao on the shoulder, scolding: "Lu Yao!

Lu Yao was punched for no reason, and when he opened his eyes, he didn't know him at all, his heart was on fire, and he was about to fight back, but he was tightly held by Catherine. How could Lu Yao be willing to be beaten in vain? So he pointed at Gu Shiyu and shouted: "Guard, guard, there is a madman beating someone here, catch him quickly!"

A few guards rushed over on the dock and firmly grabbed Gu Shiyu's arm. Gu Shiyu struggled and scolded: "Lu Yao, count yourself ruthless! But just punch you, do you need to call the guards? Well, since you pretend not to recognize me, then I don't recognize you either!"

The guards escorted Gu Shiyu to the center of the town and pronounced the verdict in public: "This person is looking for trouble on the dock, beating people, violating the laws of Ballston Town, and is fined 500 silver coins and flailed for one day!"

Several guards opened the flail in front of the town center, grabbed Gu Shiyu's head and hands without saying a word, and locked him into the flail. Gu Shiyu was about to argue, and the onlookers smashed the rotten tomatoes, rotten apples, and rotten vegetable leaves in their hands one after another!

A little girl with pigtails exclaimed, "Oh my God, he's a hero!"

Gu Shiyu wanted to cry very much, oh my God, is there such a hero? This face has been lost at home! How dare he look up at the passers-by? Admit it, just don't slap your face. So he lowered his head and endured the rotten fruits and rotten eggs thrown by the citizens.

It's over, how can I negotiate with Mrs. Grey if I have to be flailed for a day like this? As soon as the sun goes down, the guards on the dock will definitely set fire to the fish when they see that they haven't come back yet!

It's over, it's over! What you want to burn is not a stinky fish, but my brother's wealth!

Your sister Lu Yao, I finally see who you are! I'll make you regret it! No fights are allowed in Ballston Town, so can I rob you of your yards? Catherine is not married, it is not your Lu family, even the mayor of the town, Mrs. Grey, can't care about this matter!

After a long time, Gu Shiyu noticed that a pair of feet appeared on the ground, standing motionless in front of him. Gu Shiyu said angrily: "Get out, get away, what's there to see!"

The man was revived, but he remained motionless and silent.

Gu Shiyu raised his head and found that the person turned out to be Princess Catherine. His face turned red, and he hurriedly apologized: "Princess Catherine, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scold you!"

Catherine said: "I don't understand, I just want to come over and ask, why did you fight Roland?"

Gu Shiyu was dumbfounded: "What did you say? His name is Roland, not Lu Yao?"

Catherine said: "I guess you must have recognized the wrong person! Roland is the prince of the Standwick Kingdom, I have known him since I was a child, and he is definitely not the Lu Yao you said!"

Gu Shiyu muttered: "How can there be a person in the world who looks so similar? No, he must be Lu Yao! It's just that why he suddenly doesn't know me? Your Royal Highness Princess, are you sure that his head has not been caught by the door?"

"What you said is really strange, he is a prince, how can his head be caught by the door with so many people around him who take care of him?"

"Can you be sure he didn't get water in his head when he was swimming or bathing?"

"I don't know, but I don't think so. ”

"Didn't you fall from a great place and break your head?"

"What you said is so strange, how is this possible? he's been by my side since I came to the Lost Lands, and if something like this happened to him, I'm sure I would know. ”

Gu Shiyu muttered, "Could it be that I really recognized the wrong person?

Catherine nodded and said, "You should have recognized the wrong person!" In this case, you didn't mean to hit him, then I don't blame you, let you go!" Catherine said to the guard: "Release this person immediately!"

The guard hesitated, "Princess Catherine, is this appropriate?"

Catherine glared, "Do you want me to go to the mayor and talk to me?"

The guards glanced at each other, opened the shackles, and released Gu Shiyu. The guard said: "Since the princess said to release the people, we can only do it, but the fine must still be paid." ”

Catherine's hand touched her waist bag, and her face flushed slightly. Gu Shiyu moved his muscles and bones, and said angrily: "I don't have any silver coins, so you can say how many gold coins you will be fined!"

"One gold coin can be exchanged for ten silver coins, and you need to pay a fine of fifty gold coins. ”

Gu Shiyu took out fifty gold coins and paid them to the guards, and his heart was silently dripping blood! What kind of town is this, it has only been a day, and he and Youlande have already been fined a thousand silver coins!

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please wait a moment, it is really undignified for me to speak to you like this. Gu Shiyu didn't care whether Catherine agreed or not, he first ran to the pool to wash the rotten fruit and rotten egg stains on his face, threw a few gold coins on the clothing stall, hurriedly picked up a set of clothes, hid behind the house, and changed the dirty clothes.

I didn't expect that this Princess Catherine was so big that even the mayor of the town would sell her face. Gu Shiyu thought while changing clothes, in fact, she couldn't tell that she was an old girl at all, look at this way at most twenty years old, no, eighteen years old!

Gu Shiyu changed his clothes and ran to the center of the town, Catherine was still standing there waiting for him, and said with a slight smile: "You are really interesting!"

Gu Shiyu carefully held Catherine's hand, leaned down and kissed her white fingers, trembling with excitement.

"Alright, it's all settled. I'm so curious to hear that you're going to buy that stinky fish on the dock! If you don't mind, I'd like to follow along, what the hell do you want to do, okay?"

Gu Shiyu was overjoyed, if Catherine could accompany her to find Mayor Grey, then what could not be discussed? Seeing her want to help herself pay the fine just now shows that she is very chivalrous, well, very righteous! It's just that her face is red, and she must be shy. Although the princess is very powerful, but her status is noble, how can she be willing to bend her dignity and run errands for the guild to make money?

The two walked up to the mayor's tall mansion together. When the guards saw Catherine coming, they did not dare to stop them, and let them both in.

Lady Grey was admiring the flowers in the garden, and when she saw Catherine coming in to visit, she trotted up to meet her, took Catherine's hand, and said affectionately: "Oh, Your Highness Princess, you are here, welcome, welcome!"

The three of them sat down in the garden, and the maids brought tea and fruit. Madame Grey still held Catherine's hand and said with a smile: "I haven't seen her for a few days, why has Her Royal Highness become more and more beautiful, and what kind of cosmetics have you used?"

Catherine said embarrassedly: "Look at what you said, I often sleep outside in the wind and in the open, in the sun and rain, how can you be so good at maintenance and have such tender skin?"

Madame Grey is indeed beautiful enough, but this beauty is not like Catherine's natural and healthy beauty, but a bewitching beauty.

Gu Shiyu was thinking wildly, if he wanted to find a wife by himself, should he find the demure beauty of the red leaves, the health beauty of Catherine, or the bewitching beauty of Lady Grey?

Sweat...... Are you able to afford to eat? Even if you are as healthy as an ox, you will definitely die young!

The two beauties chatted for a moment, and Madame Grey looked at Gu Shiyu and said, "I heard the guard report that someone wants to buy that fish on my dock, could it be this hero?"

Gu Shiyu saw that Madame Grey was looking at her, so she stopped her despicable thoughts and replied, "Yes, Lady Grey, I see that you and Princess Catherine have a good chat, so it is inconvenient to disturb you. ”

"As you can see, the fish on the dock is very large, weighing fifty or sixty tons. Since you are a good friend of Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine, I will count you as a thousand gold coins. ”

What? A stinky fish that no one wants, is actually priced at a thousand gold coins? Is there anyone darker than you in the world? Gu Shiyu was very angry, and opened his mouth and replied: "Fifty!"

Catherine's eyes widened and she thought, oh my God, you two are ruthless enough, one dares to shout, the other dares to bargain!

"Five hundred?"

"One hundred!"

"Three hundred?"

"One hundred and fifteen!"

Madame Grey nodded, and sighed, "You hero is really good at business!

Gu Shiyu suddenly felt that he had been deceived! A stinky fish that was about to be burned actually allowed himself to shout out the sky-high price of 150 gold coins! Isn't that something that only a second junior brother can do? But he can't lose his words in front of the two beauties, otherwise what face will he have? There is no way, just take out the money! Gu Shiyu counted out one hundred and fifty gold coins from his bag, and his palms were sweating. The waist pouch has been deflated, and it is estimated that there are not a few steel hammers left.

"Lady Grey, I still want to buy a piece of your land on the docks, it doesn't take much, five acres is enough!

"I didn't say this, the price of land in Baulston Town is public, a thousand gold coins per acre of land. I'll give you a discount for five acres, and it's just 4,500 gold coins!"

"What if I lease your land?"

"If you rent it, five acres will cost you five hundred gold coins per month. ”

I rub, then I might as well buy it. But Gu Shiyu doesn't have so much money, so he has to go to the market to sell things and lose. I had to nod and say, "Then let's rent it for the time being, and I'll buy yours later." ”

Lady Grey nodded, "Okay, I'll send someone to the docks tomorrow to sign a contract with you." ”

Catherine and Gu Shiyu walked out of the mayor's mansion, Catherine shook her head and said, "I don't think you're good at business, is her stinky fish worth one hundred and fifty gold coins?" Besides, the land on her dock is worthless, and she will sell it to you at the price of a prime location in the center of town!"

Gu Shiyu has already suffered a loss, and now he can only pretend to be a big money with a swollen face, and nodded: "I know, but this is all small money, so you don't need to worry too much." You'll know how big a business I'm doing! Let me tell you, I'll monopolize the whole market in the Lost Lands, and I'll not only sell my products everywhere, but also open up overseas markets!"

Catherine looked at Gu Shiyu in disbelief and said, "Just because of the stinky fish you bought, you are really amazing!"

Gu Shiyu's heart moved, and he looked at Catherine's eyes and said, "Does Her Royal Highness the princess want to buy a share?" I can give you a share." ”

Catherine's face flushed slightly, "I...... I don't have much money. ”

Gu Shiyu said: "You don't need a lot of money, if the princess wants to buy shares, a gold coin will be fine!"

Catherine's eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "Really, then I'll buy ten shares!" After that, she took out ten gold coins and stuffed them into Gu Shiyu's hand.

Gu Shiyu held a gold coin with Catherine's faint body fragrance in her hand, and suddenly wanted to cry, Mom, thanks to her only ten gold coins! If she buys hundreds of gold coins, she will have to work for her......!

Catherine clasped her hands to her chest, intoxicated with the dream of great wealth, and said wistfully: "I have ten shares, and I should always be able to divide a hundred gold coins a month, right?"

Gu Shiyu nodded and said, "That's a must!"

Catherine jumped up with joy, hugged Gu Shiyu's neck, kissed him on the face, and ran away.

Brother, you are playing big now, can you still end it? Gu Shiyu didn't have time to think too much, and shouted at Catherine: "Your Royal Highness Princess, wait, I still have something to ask you for help!"
