I rely on gossip to save the country
Chapter 50 Going door to door to collect debts
Xie Chuyue left the mansion in a daze, and walked unsteadily on the street. She still hadn't reacted to what she had just seen.
System: [Host, what are your plans next? Have you forgotten something? ]
Xie Chuyue was still confused at this time: [What? Forgot something? ]
system:【…………】
Xie Chuyue slapped her forehead fiercely, "Remember now, go collect the debt?"
System: [Where did the debt come from? Who owes you money? I don’t remember anyone owing you money. ]
Xie Chuyue grinned and laughed, that smile was so obscene that it made people's scalps tingle. Why did it feel like this guy had bad intentions?
Xie Chuyue: [Er Gouzi, it’s a miracle if you remember! Hehehe. ]
system:…………
Damn, what kind of cow or horse host is this?
Seeing that Xie Chuyue had no intention of saying anything, the system could only weakly remind her, "Host, you promised Jiang Shuying yesterday that you would go riding today."
Wait, Jiang Shuying??? Riding a horse???
Xie Chuyue realized at this moment that she definitely couldn’t go riding a horse, but - how could she not invite her friends to join in such a fun activity?
Otherwise, Jiang Shuying would accuse her of being unfair.
[Let's go! The first stop is the General's Mansion. ] Xie Chuyue walked towards the General's Mansion with a cheerful pace.
She was humming a song as she walked.
"Say goodbye to all your troubles,
All the joy says hi hi! "
The pedestrians on the street looked at Xie Chuyue as if she was a fool. What was wrong with their little princess?
As soon as Xie Chuyue arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, the servants hurried to greet her and saluted respectfully, saying, "Greetings to Princess Chunyang, Your Highness, may you live a thousand years!"
"Get up, get up!" Xie Chuyue smiled brightly.
One of the servants smiled and said to Xie Chuyue, "Your Highness, are you here to look for our eldest daughter? She is waiting inside. She just asked why you haven't come yet."
Xie Chuyue's face was tense, and she said seriously, "No, I'm not here to see your eldest daughter. I'm here to see your great general who protects the country."
The two servants looked at each other in confusion. No, shouldn't they come to see their eldest lady? The eldest lady has been calling her "Princess" all morning. If she comes, she should be brought to her yard immediately.
"Your Highness, are you sure you are here to see the general and not the eldest lady?" one of the servants asked again.
Oh my goodness, now it’s all over. Xie Chuyue was getting a little impatient with all the questions. “Ask, ask, ask, what are you asking? I already said I’m here to see your general. Ask your general to come and see this princess right away.”
Servant: …………
The servant didn't understand and didn't dare to ask, so he went to find their general obediently.
And Xie Chuyue swaggered into the General's Mansion.
When he heard the servant report that Xie Chuyue came to see him, the great general who defends the country, he was completely confused.
Why did this little troublemaker come to see him? They shouldn't be so close to each other that they would just come and chat casually. Wait, isn't he here to see his Shu Ying?
At this point, the general said to the servant, "Go and invite the young lady to the main hall."
"Yes." The servant took the order and left, while the general walked towards the gate of the mansion with an annoyed look on his face.
The Great General had just walked out of the main courtyard and was walking in a corridor when he saw Xie Chuyue coming towards him.
Xie Chuyue was more enthusiastic to see the General Zhenguo than to see her own father. She raised her hand and waved, "Hey, General, I'm here, General, long time no see!"
Jiang Yan, the great general who defends the country: ………My dear, you are such a grown-up, I saw you, but you don’t need to yell so loudly. Besides, we just met in the morning court, so how can you say it’s been a long time since we last met? I am speechless!
Xie Chuyue ignored the depressed general and came to his side in a hop, "General, come on, let's talk inside."
General: …………
No, whose mansion is this?
The Great General followed Xie Chuyue, a shameless person who insisted on breaking into his mansion, to the main hall.
After entering the main hall, she swaggered into her seat without waiting for the general to ask her to take a seat.
The general: “………….”
"General, don't just stand there. Bring me some tea. I'm so thirsty!" Xie Chuyue looked around and didn't see any tea, so she ordered the general to pour her some water.
The great general Jiang Yan took a deep breath and said, "Be patient, be patient, and be patient again. Let's see what this little troublemaker is here for."
So he poured a cup of tea for someone and handed it to him. Xie Chuyue put it to her mouth and then took it down again. She looked at the general with her round eyes, and she felt goosebumps all over her body when she saw the general.
Then Xie Chuyue asked word by word, "The general didn't poison it, did he? Do you want me to test it with my silver hairpin?"
The general stared at Xie Chuyue blankly and rolled his eyes openly, "This general is not stupid enough to poison Princess Chunyang so openly. This general will poison anyone but you. Princess, just drink it without worry."
Xie Chuyue then looked as if she understood and drank the tea in one gulp.
Looking at someone after he finished drinking, the general couldn't hold it in any longer. He was afraid to stay with this guy any longer. His blood pressure soared and he fainted on the spot.
So he asked directly, "Princess Chunyang, what is the purpose of coming to my mansion? If you are here to see me, please go to my courtyard and wait for me."
Xie Chuyue immediately raised her hand to deny it, "No no no, no no no, I'm here to see you, General."
The national general Jiang Yan was even more confused at this time. Why did he look for him? Besides, he had not offended this little ancestor in the past few days or in the morning court today.
"I wonder what Princess Chunyang wants to see me about?" The cold face of the national general Jiang Yan formed a sharp contrast with Xie Chuyue's smiling face.
Someone smiled with a face that looked like she deserved to be beaten. She came to the general who guarded the country and asked, "General, have you forgotten something?"
Jiang Yan was sometimes confused. He wondered if he had forgotten something. He had not forgotten anything. He had already dealt with all the matters that needed to be dealt with, and these had nothing to do with this little trouble.
"This general has not forgotten anything. Your Highness Princess, please just say whatever you want to say!" Jiang Yan chuckled. He would never provoke this little girl.
Xie Chuyue walked around Jiang Yan and said, "The great general who guards the country is really a forgetful person. He promised in the morning court that he would give money to rescue the people in the burned villages west of the city and give money to build houses for them. How come he forgot it right after the court?"
Jiang Yan's smile froze when he heard this. He said he gave it to him, but he didn't say when?
The general said with a fake smile, "Your Highness, you are joking. I will remember it and donate the money when the time comes."
"No, no, just give it to me. I'm collecting money door to door now. Just give it to me." Xie Chuyue became more and more excited as she thought about it. After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hands and spread them in front of the great general.
Jiang Yan: Shameless, shameless, he has never seen such a shameless person!
At this moment, Jiang Shuying also walked in from outside. When she saw this scene, she walked over curiously and asked, "Dad, Princess Chunyang? What are you doing?"
Xie Chuyue came to Jiang Shuying's side, hooked her arms around her shoulders, and smiled, "It's nothing serious. I'm just here to collect some money. I had agreed to ride a horse today. As you can see, I'm very busy collecting donations. Let's go another day."
Jiang Shuying: What the hell? "What's that?"
Seeing that Jiang Shuying had no idea, Xie Chuyue excitedly told Jiang Shuying about what happened in the morning court. "Since we can't go riding, why don't you accompany me to collect silver? Just consider it as contributing to the court."
The corner of the general's mouth twitched, and then he thought of something and advised his daughter, "Go, Princess Chunyang has invited you personally, you can't disobey."
What a joke! If this little troublemaker wanted to cause trouble, he could have caused trouble to all of them. Why did he only target him?
Hahaha, go ahead, go ahead, let everyone have a taste of the feeling of having debtors come to their doorstep. He wants to make everyone in the court feel the same way, no matter how aggrieved he is now.
When Jiang Shuying heard that even her father asked her to go, she didn't want to give up on her father's face, so she nodded and agreed.
Xie Chuyue was very satisfied, and then turned to the general and said, "General, please pay the money. We should go to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
The general who guards the country was so angry when he saw how shameless Xie Chuyue was, but he could do nothing but send someone to get the silver.
The moment Xie Chuyue got the silver, she weighed it, and then glared at the general, "You are the general after all, and you want to get rid of me with such a small amount of silver? Do you look down on me? This princess has donated 100 taels, and you only gave 50 taels, aren't you stingy?"
Jiang Yan was so angry that his whole body was shaking. His hands were shaking as he pointed at Xie Chuyue. "This general doesn't have any more money to give out."
Who would believe that he, a great general who defends the country, has no money? But the fact is that he is really poor!
Jiang Shuying felt very embarrassed when she heard this, so she had to help her father out by saying, "Your Highness, my father is really poor. He really has no money. He can take it out again."
Xie Chuyue had known Jiang Shuying for such a long time, and knew that Jiang Shuying would not lie, so she believed it. "Okay, I believe it reluctantly. Even though it's a little less, it still came out after all."
The Great General who Guards the Nation looked at Xie Chuyue and after she left the mansion with his daughter, he let out a long breath.
So fucking infuriating!
As the two of them walked out of the house and walked down the street, Jiang Shuying asked in disbelief, "Xie Chuyue, we're not really going to collect money from every household, are we?"
Xie Chuyue is so shameless and has no dignity. How can she, as a girl, do such a thing?
"Otherwise, you don't know, if we don't collect the money from each family, they won't pay it, or even the money they pay will definitely be half less. What I am doing now is to catch them off guard." Xie Chuyue walked in front with a swagger. After saying this, she looked at Jiang Shuying who showed a shy expression, pulled her over, and strode towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
***
The entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion
The servant outside the door saw Xie Chuyue and bowed respectfully, "Greetings to Princess Chunyang, may you live forever, may you live forever, may you meet Miss Jiang."
Xie Chuyue waved her hands and said, "Get up, get up, go call your Prime Minister and tell him that the princess is here."
Jiang Shuying's mouth twitched as she looked at the arrogant Xie Chuyue in front of her. She was really adventurous!
Xie Chuyue dragged Jiang Shuying to the Prime Minister's Mansion. The servant at the door hesitated as to whether to stop them or not. In the end, he did not dare to stop them and let Xie Chuyue and Jiang Shuying in.
Prime Minister Duan Yi was having dinner in his wife's room. When he heard that Xie Chuyue was coming, he was stunned. No one would come to his house for no reason. Why did this little troublemaker come to his house?
Everyone was confused, and Duan Xiya asked, "Dad, why did Princess Chunyang come to see you?"
Prime Minister Duan Yi also frowned, expressing his confusion, "I don't know either."
At this time, another servant came in a hurry to report, "Master, Princess Chunyang has broken into the mansion, and brought Miss Jiang from the general's mansion with her."
"Why are they both here together? Are they here to see me?" Duan Xiya thought they were here to play with her and asked in confusion.
The prime minister also felt that this must be the case, so the father and daughter went to the front hall.
Xie Chuyue was in the front hall, sitting in the main seat with a swagger, making cakes and drinking tea, looking very happy.
Jiang Shuying was still a little restrained. She sat at the bottom and took a sip of tea.
The father and daughter saw this scene as soon as they entered the room, and their eyes twitched. Duan Xiya didn't think anything of it, but Prime Minister Duan Yi always felt that these two people had bad intentions.
"Greetings to Princess Chunyang!" Duan Xiya bowed politely.
Xie Chuyue had no intention of embarrassing the little girl, so she waved her hand and said, "Miss Duan, there's no need to be so polite."
"Princess, what brings you to my house?" Although the Prime Minister felt that the visitor had bad intentions, he still asked symbolically.
This little troublemaker never comes here for no reason. If there is nothing, he wouldn't come so openly. Maybe he is hiding in some corner.
Xie Chuyue smiled widely, not feeling embarrassed at all. As the saying goes, as long as she is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. Following this saying, she smiled more sincerely.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you are really a forgetful person. You promised to give money for the fundraising in the morning court. I am here to get it now, right? Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please take out the money quickly. I will come to get it myself, so that Your Excellency, Prime Minister, doesn't have to make another trip."
Prime Minister Duan Yi: …………
"Of course I dare not forget. I thought I would send it over after dinner, but I didn't expect Her Highness the Princess to come first. And how could I trouble Her Highness the Princess? I will send it over personally."
Prime Minister Duan Yi was speechless. This little princess was too shameless. Was it necessary for her to come to the mansion in person to get it? It was impossible for him to refuse to pay.
"Prime Minister, please pay quickly. This princess does not have time to waste here any more. After taking the money from the Prime Minister's Mansion, I have to go to the next one."
