After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince
Chapter 40 Bull Market Adventure
Helan Xuenuo and Xiaozhu were shocked by the sound.
They looked towards the direction where the voice came from, and a woman came out after pulling back the curtain. Unlike her voice, the woman was fair and petite, very beautiful, with sharp eyes and a bit of arrogance.
Huang Jiuyuan stared blankly, smiling foolishly, "She's even prettier than the top pick in Yunxiang Pavilion. I like her."
Helan Xuenuo sneered, "..." and slapped him hard on the back.
Huang Jiuyuan cried out in pain. He turned around to look at Helan Xuenuo and asked teasingly with a smile, "Are you jealous?"
Helan Xuenuo, "..."
Xiao Zhu, “…”
"Which knife do you want to buy?" The female shopkeeper walked behind the counter and stared at them. She was wearing a purple dress and her eyes were rude, without the fawning smile that a shopkeeper should have.
Huang Jiuyuan walked to the cabinet, looked around, then raised his head and carefully examined the female shopkeeper. He pointed behind her with his fingertips and said, "That one."
The female shopkeeper took the knife and slammed it on the counter. There was a loud bang, and Huang Jiuyuan was stunned.
The female shopkeeper said solemnly, "Two taels of silver."
Huang Jiuyuan was in no hurry to pay. He took the knife and examined it, then said to the female shopkeeper with a flattering smile, "You are so beautiful, young lady. May I ask your name?"
Helan Xuenuo, "..."
Xiao Zhu, “…”
Helan Xuenuo pulled Xiaozhu outside, intending to visit other shops.
Passing by a few shops.
They stopped at a shop selling bows and arrows. An old shopkeeper was wiping a bow. This bow was different from other bows. It was particularly small and the bow body was made of red blood jade, which was somewhat reflective.
Helan Xuenuo walked in and asked, "Is this bow for sale?"
The old shopkeeper looked up at her, glanced at her clothes, and continued to wipe the bow with his head down. "Not for sale."
Xiao Zhu said angrily, "Boss, how can you still look down on me? How much is this bow? We can afford it."
The old shopkeeper put the bow away and hung it on the shelf. He turned his back to them and continued polishing the other bows. "The bull market never judges by appearance. It's not that I don't want to sell it, but this bow has been ordered. You have good taste. This bow was ordered and I sent people to collect materials and specially make it. However, this rare material is no longer available. Even if you want to order it, it can't be made. There is only one in the world."
"Forget it." Helan Xuenuo pulled Xiaozhu out of the shop.
Not long after they left.
Huang Jiuyuan's cry came from afar, "Help!"
They looked back and saw Huang Jiuyuan being thrown out by a fat man. He fell to the ground, touching his waist with a look of fear on his face.
The fat man was about to swing his fist.
Helan Xuenuo sighed and shook her head, then trotted back, standing in front of Huang Jiuyuan and yelled, "Stop."
"You want to be beaten too?" The fat man glared at Helan Xuenuo fiercely. Helan Xuenuo was indeed scared.
At this time, Xiao Zhu also followed and pulled Helan Xuenuo behind him.
"What do you want to do?" Xiao Zhu shouted fiercely.
"Another one looking for death?" The fat man began to twist his neck, crossed his hands to warm up, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
Helan Xuenuo pushed Xiaozhu aside and said flatteringly, "Brother, is there any misunderstanding? We should use words instead of violence. It will hurt feelings."
"What kind of misunderstanding could there be? He was teasing my sister."
Helan Xuenuo glared at Huang Jiuyuan, seeing that he looked so disappointing.
Huang Jiuyuan avoided his gaze and stammered, "I...I...I just said a few words, but I didn't touch her."
The fat man said angrily, "You admit it now? Even if it's just teasing, it's still teasing. You deserve to be beaten."
The fat man clenched his fists and prepared to beat Huang Jiuyuan hard.
Helan Xuenuo shouted in a panic, "Do you know who we are?"
"I don't care who you are. I just know that whoever teases my sister will get a fist." The fat man glared at Helan Xuenuo angrily, his fist stopped in mid-air.
Helan Xuenuo put her hands on her hips and pretended to be powerful. "The one lying on the ground is the prime minister's son. If you hurt him, the prime minister will get angry and you will suffer the consequences."
"Haha, does the Prime Minister's Mansion think you're so great? We are people in the martial arts world, and our lives are worthless. This guy teased my sister. I don't care who he is. I will beat him up anyway." The fat man was ignited with anger.
Helan Xuenuo miscalculated. She looked behind the fat man and saw the female shopkeeper drinking a glass of water in front of the counter without looking outside at all. Instead, the fat man was even angrier than her.
Feeling somewhat guilty, Helan Xuenuo cleared her throat and said, "Then do you know why the Prime Minister's son would be accompanied by ordinary people? We are both disciples of Yuan Xu, the young general of the Yuan Mansion. If you dare to hurt us, I am Yuan Xu's beloved disciple. Be careful that he will send his men to flatten this place."
Helan Xuenuo signaled Xiaozhu with her eyes, and Xiaozhu immediately showed off her kung fu skills. This mediocre kung fu was learned from her and Mu Kong, and it was quite good.
Yuan Xu has been on patrol duty in the capital recently, and the people of the capital all know him. In addition, he has recently arrested many minions and bullies. The people have witnessed his excellent martial arts and praised him highly. That's why Helan Xuenuo thought of using his reputation.
I felt sorry for Yuan Xu.
When the shopkeeper heard Helan Xuenuo say this, her eyes lit up, she put down her cup, and said outside the shop, "Brother, let them go."
The fat man put down his fist in dissatisfaction, looked at the female shopkeeper in a complaining manner, and then turned back and yelled, "Get out of here now."
Helan Xuenuo pulled Huang Jiuyuan up from the ground, and the three of them fled from the bull market in a hurry, looking very embarrassed and humiliating.
Outside the bull market, the three people were gasping for breath, having survived the disaster.
Huang Jiuyuan wiped his clothes and regained his elegant and handsome appearance, completely different from the miserable look he had just had.
Helan Xuenuo asked curiously, "What did you do to make her so angry?"
He coughed and said, "I just... I just saw that she was a girl and had too much hardship, so I asked her if she would like to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion and enjoy a peaceful life. Who knew? Who knew there was such a big man hiding there, ready to beat me up when he came out."
He complained again, "You've completely embarrassed me. Now everyone knows I'm the son of the Prime Minister. Well, since you two have been so protective of me, I'll forgive you. But don't spread this around."
Helan Xuenuo had a cunning idea in mind. She stretched out her hand and said with a sly smile, "Hush money."
Huang Jiuyuan felt around his body, took out a purse of silver and handed it to Helan Xuenuo, "Are you obsessed with money?"
"I don't know who just said it, but the Xiangfu gets a share of every penny earned in the bull market. I don't think anyone here is afraid of the Xiangfu."
Huang Jiuyuan felt a little embarrassed. He thought about something, his eyes rolling, and suddenly he smiled, "Thanks to you that day, I saw a living pornographic picture."
Helan Xuenuo covered his mouth. This guy was no fool. He knew everything. "Shut up."
Huang Jiuyuan broke free. "Alright, I won't argue with you anymore. After going through this, we've become close friends. From now on, I'll consider you my friend! I, Huang Jiuyuan, am a gentleman of my word. If you're in trouble in the future, I'll definitely be there for you."
"Huang Jiuyuan, as a friend, I advise you not to continue being so dissolute. It will do you more harm than good. Today's incident is just a reminder. Life is short, wouldn't it be better to find something meaningful to do?" The scene of Huang Jiuyuan being beheaded appeared in front of Helan Xuenuo's eyes.
"Live a carefree life. I only care about the present, as long as I am happy at the moment. In this world, live one day at a time." After saying this, Huang Jiuyuan left in a carefree manner, waving his long sleeves, leaving a long shadow behind him, which gradually disappeared at the corner of the long street.
What Huang Jiuyuan said was not wrong. She watched Huang Jiuyuan leave with ease and grace, and calculated in her mind that it had not been many years.
She and Xiaozhu left in opposite directions.
The victim of the method of making money that Helan Xuenuo mentioned earlier was Old Lady Helan.
She took Xiao Zhu and another maid and played cards with the old lady until late at night, and won all the money the old lady brought.
I still owe several dozen taels.
Old Madam Helan just likes to play small cards. She never cares about the amount of money when playing cards, but she only plays with Helan Xuenuo and others.
If she went to the casino, Helan Xuenuo was really afraid that Old Madam Helan would lose the entire Helan Mansion.
Madam Helan did not lose heart even after losing again and again. She fought until dawn and the cocks crowed before she said repeatedly, "I can't do it anymore. My old bones can't take it anymore. I have to go back and rest. I have to send Qi Didi off tomorrow."
"To send off the bride?" Helan Xuenuo was also very sleepy, but thinking of the huge amount of silver, she forced herself to stay awake and played with the old lady until dawn.
"There's nothing we can do. Mother doesn't want to either. The palace specially sent a nanny to tell us to be considerate and polite. This is the last connection we have with her. She can go her own way from now on." Old Lady Helan stretched her muscles, and the maid beside her helped her walk out.
The card in Helan Xuenuo's hand was accidentally bent by her.
How could she remain calm after hearing this?
He loved her so much, and even after such a scandal happened, he still gave her enough respect.
And what about her? In her previous life, she was carried into the palace in the middle of the night, without any respect, and even the main gate was not opened.
The person who was worshipping with her was a piece of air.
"What's wrong with the girl?" Xiao Zhu looked at the cards in Helan Xuenuo's hand that were bent into pieces by her.
"It's okay, go to bed early. We still have to go to celebrate for Sister Qi tomorrow." Helan Xuenuo said this with a smile, and she felt sleepy, with her eyes slightly drooping.
Tomorrow, she wanted to see what it would be like for Gu Shicheng to marry his beloved woman.
