Chapter 337 New Capital

Long Liu was riding on the horse, holding the reins in one hand and the storybook in the other. Long Qi endured and endured, and finally spoke, "Sixth brother, the girl said that you can't read while riding a horse, it will damage your eyes."

Long Liu said "Hmm" without looking away, "It's okay. I'm already this old, so it's fine if it's broken."

Long Qi: ...

You are said to be fat and you still have asthma?

Okay, I can't control you, I'll find someone who can.

He rode his horse to a small, inconspicuous carriage at the back and called out in a low voice, "Little Magpie."

The carriage curtain was opened, revealing a round face. "What do you want me to do, Uncle Seven?"

Long Qi pointed at Long Liu who was riding a horse and reading a book in front of him, "Your uncle is riding a horse and reading a book at the same time. I'm afraid he won't be able to see well."

Xi Que squinted his eyes and saw Long Liu reading the storybook. He immediately shouted, "Yin Xiaoliu!"

Long Liu was so startled by the sudden loud voice that he almost dropped his hand.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw the smiling face of the magpie.

"Why are you here, you little girl?" He rode his horse over quickly and glared at the little girl in the carriage.

The magpie laughed, "Why can't I be here? The girl said she would bring me here to live a good life!"

Xi Que was one of the two maids who were brought out from Chanjuan Courtyard by Pan Yingying. The other maid named Yan'er went to Lanhua City with her parents to live with relatives after being rescued.

Because Xi Que was very cute and had no relatives alive, Pan Yingying took her back to the capital.

And Xi Que was the maid who had sold the information to Long Liu at a high price.

Long Liu had been immersed in reading storybooks these days, so naturally he didn't notice Xi Que who was trying to keep a low profile.

Long Liu snorted, not wanting to bother with the little girl anymore, but Xi Que stretched out her hand to him and said, "Give it to me."

Long Liu: ???
"What do you want?"

The magpie rolled his eyes at him and said, "You still owe me 30 taels of silver. When do you plan to pay me back?"

Long Liu: ...

I actually forgot about this.

When he bought the information, he didn't have enough silver, so he only paid half and still owed 30 taels.

I had originally planned to ask Zhuge Sheng for the money and then pay him back, but then I thought, they won't see each other again, so why should I pay the money back? Wouldn't it be better to keep it for myself and live a carefree life?
So, he simply forgot that he still owed the magpie money.

He owed the money by his own ability, so he has the ability not to pay it back, there is nothing wrong with that.

But man proposes, God disposes. This little girl actually escaped and came out from that cannibalistic hellhole, Chanjuan Garden.

"No, when did I, Long Liu, ever owe you money? Go find whoever owes you money."

The name on the IOU is "Yin Liu", what does it have to do with him "Long Liu"?

The magpie raised her eyebrows, "You are such a jerk, Yin Xiaoliu! Don't think you can deny your debt just by changing your name! With your ugly handwriting, who can't recognize that the IOU was written by you? If you dare not pay me back, I will report it to the young lady!"

Long Liu: ...

He just couldn't understand why His Majesty had to bring this stinky girl here for no reason. Was he in need of a maid to serve him? If he really was in need of someone to serve him, he was not incapable of doing it!
He, Long Liuwu, can protect his master, and is capable of doing laundry, cooking, and cleaning. He is a hundred times better than this stinky girl!
"Not now, let's talk about it when we have it." Long Liu had a stern face. He caught a glimpse of Long Qi who was gloating from the corner of his eye and glared at him unhappily.

Long Liu couldn't afford to lose face because of a quarrel over 30 taels of silver.

Long Qi was not afraid of him. He flicked his whip and walked leisurely to the front.

The magpie raised his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Liuzi, we will still work together in the future. Please give me your guidance!"

Long Liu: ...

What the hell is the advice you give me, you money-minded little girl!

He snorted loudly and rode his horse back to the front.

Now he no longer had the mood to read the storybook. He put the storybook into his embroidered shoulder bag and raised his hand to punch Long Qi.

Without even raising his eyelids, Long Qi started shouting, "Second sister! Long Liu hit me!"

Long Er in the carriage: …She pulled open the carriage curtain and said, “Are you guys done yet? How old are you? Can you please stop embarrassing me? There are people we know all over this street!”

Long Liu: ???
"The streets are full of... people I know?"

Long Qi nodded and pointed to the "Taoyuan Express" next to him, "This is the property of our Long Yinwei."

Then, he pointed to another "Taoyuan Department Store" next to it and said, "This is the girl's business."

"This is Aunt Fangyi's family property..."

"This is General Qi's..."

"This is the Duke's Mansion..."

Long Liu: ...

numb.

After putting down the storybook, Long Liu had more time and energy to observe this "new capital".

The cement road is clean and tidy. There are trash cans every half a mile on both sides of the street, a public toilet every two miles, and a horse parking lot every five miles.

It was also divided into four main streets: east, south, west and north. There were rows of shops on each main street, and many of the shops sold food he had never even seen before.

Seeing him looking over, a woman carrying a basket ran over quickly, "Sir, would you like to take a look at our ice jelly? It's refreshing and can help you get rid of the heat. We put a lot of brown sugar in it, so it's the sweetest on this street!"

The woman lifted the cloth covering the basket, and Long Liu saw a white porcelain bowl in the basket. The bowl was filled with translucent ice jelly mixed with brown sugar water and small ingredients such as chopped hawthorn and chopped peanuts. It was really appetizing to look at.

"How much do you sell this ice jelly?" Long Liu asked.

The woman grinned, looking very confident and not at all shy. "Eight cents a bowl, just take it home and eat it. We will collect the bowls later, or you can bring them over when you are free."

Long Liu thought about it and agreed that this was a good idea.

He turned around and asked Long Qi, "Where are we staying?"

Long Qi pointed to the building near the palace and said, "This is in the Ping'an neighborhood, building one, second floor."

Long Liu nodded, took out a piece of silver from his bag and handed it to the woman, "Send 50 bowls to Ping'an Community in half an hour."

Yan Cuicui said "Oh", took the silver and left happily.

50 bowls is a big deal, we must not mess it up.

After returning to the store and telling people that they would deliver 50 bowls of ice jelly to Ping'an Community, Yan Cuicui continued to carry the basket and sell them.

……

……

Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng returned to the palace, and everyone else did what they were supposed to do.

After traveling for so many days, you need to take a good rest.

After releasing Batian and Baomei and letting them go back to their rooms to play, the couple washed up and climbed into bed.

Zhao came over in a hurry and heard that the couple had already fallen asleep. She whispered "Buddha bless you" and turned around to go out and do her work.

There were a lot of things waiting for her! Although the several workshops in the palace were running smoothly, there were always things that she had to worry about.

Fortunately, she grew up in the palace and had once served as the housekeeper of the Eastern Palace, so she didn't find it troublesome.

Just after taking two steps out, a white figure as big as a hill rushed out of the house.

When Zhao raised her head, she met Batian's hairy chin.

Goodness! Why did she feel that this tiger grandson seemed to have gained weight again?
"Batian, have you gained weight again?"

Tyrant: ...

Baihu felt aggrieved like a fat man weighing several hundred pounds. He turned around and ran back into the house.

Zhao:......

She was wrong, she forgot that Tyrant hated to be called fat.
