Chapter 216 I Want to Make Money! Your Majesty, Would You Like to Buy Jewelry?

The Qixia Town is like another world in the Ming Dynasty. The people here only care about things here. The capital is not far away, but they don’t even know who the emperor is.

Everyone in Tongfu Inn still calls Chu Yang the original prince...

The people here only know that the original emperor has passed away, and now there is a new emperor. As for who it is, they are not very interested. For most people, the emperor seems to be just a code name.

Even Guo Furong is like this. She doesn’t even know that her father is no longer the instructor of the 800,000 imperial guards. She is happy and harmonious like a fool every day.

"Hehehe, senior brother, you came to see me. Did you bring any gifts?"

"Bring a hammer."

"Where is the hammer?"

"..."

Guo Furong's intelligence level has a tendency to be seriously assimilated, although she was not very smart.

The two chatted in the lobby. Because it was too early, there were no guests at this time.

It is said that there is not even a guest staying in an inn. The business of Tongfu Inn is really bleak.

So Chu Yang became the God of Wealth in Tong's eyes. Without his order, a table of delicious dishes was served on the table. Guo Furong drooled at the sight of the delicious fish and meat.

"Your Highness, our store doesn't have anything delicious. Please make do with it. I'll ask Dazui to buy some food later."

Tong, who was sitting in the main seat, covered his mouth with a palace fan and looked at Chu Yang with a smile, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

The innkeeper had to buy food on the spot. Chu Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard it. He simply took out a few thick silver ingots from his arms and put them in front of him.

The moment he saw the silver ingots, Tong's eyes shone like an incandescent lamp, and his eyes were stretched to the limit that humans could reach.

Chu Yang was stunned.

But before Shopkeeper Tong could be happy, Guo Furong quickly grabbed the silver and said loudly: "This is the gift my senior brought me!"

"Guo Furong!" Shopkeeper Tong jumped up, walked quickly to Guo Furong's side, stretched out his hand and started to grab, "How dare you say that? How many things in the store have you broken these days? My blue and white porcelain bowls and plates and fragrant sandalwood stools, don't you want money for these?"

"And the guests you injured and scared away are all losses of the store. I didn't care about you when I didn't have money before, but now you have money, why don't you compensate me quickly!"

In Shopkeeper Tong's mouth, Guo Furong was like a bully who almost bankrupted Tongfu Inn.

Guo Furong herself was stunned by what she heard, and subconsciously loosened her hand and showed the silver. Shopkeeper Tong's hand was fast, leaving a phantom in the air, and he took the silver back in a few seconds.

Lao Bai, who was passing by, said in shock: "Boss, you've chosen the wrong career. If you had followed me a few years earlier, you might have been the thief saint."

Chu Yang also nodded and said: "When people are anxious, their potential can be brought out."

Shopkeeper Tong stuffed the silver into her arms, and returned to her previous ladylike posture, covering her mouth and laughing: "Hehe, please forgive me, Your Majesty. I run a small business and it's rare to meet such a generous customer like yours."

Chu Yang smiled and waved his hand and said: "Junior sister has caused a lot of trouble for the shopkeeper here. A little silver is not a token of my appreciation, but it's a thank you to the shopkeeper."

"I will stay at Tongfu Inn for a while. I have to trouble Shopkeeper Tong in all aspects. I hope you can take care of it."

The God of Wealth is going to live in Tongfu Inn?

"What are you saying? It's not me who takes care of you, it's you who takes care of us!" Shopkeeper Tong laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close. His wild and unrestrained laughter echoed in the lobby, just as scary as a fox that stole a chicken. Lao Bai shivered beside him.

After that, she ran to the backyard and urged Li Dazui to cook more dishes, regardless of whether Chu Yang could finish the food or not. It was okay if he couldn't finish it. There were so many people in the inn, and everyone could eat a bite to finish the leftovers.

Tong Xiangyu never did business at a loss.

Guo Furong sat in a chair in a daze. She was craving for the food on the table just now, but now she didn't even look at it, muttering to herself: "My money..."

She didn't even look at the food, and seemed to be really sad. Chu Yang put a chicken leg in her bowl and comforted her: "You'll get used to losing money. You see, I never take it to heart!"

Guo Furong stared at Chu Yang, her voice full of tears, "You don't care if you have money. If you were a poor person, you would still say this!"

Chu Yang agreed with this and nodded quickly, saying with emotion: "Fortunately, I have money."

Guo Furong: "..."

Disgusted Guo Furong, which made up for the depression of being almost cheated to death by her when he was in the martial arts world before. Chu Yang laughed happily, his appetite was opened, and he began to eat up everything at the table.

Guo Furong stuffed the chicken leg in the bowl into her mouth and took a big bite, as if she had made up her mind, "I want to make money!"

Chu Yang smiled with relief, "Well, you have ambition. May I ask how the heroine makes money? You want to rob the rich and help the poor? I don't know which kind person will meet you, such an evil star."

Thinking of her previous achievements, Guo Furong felt guilty and angry, and said angrily: "I want to make money seriously!"

Chu Yang was surprised: "Did you think about it before?!"

Guo Furong swallowed the chicken leg in a few bites and shouted to the scholar who was counting the bills at the counter: "Lu Xiucai, I have decided to help you publish a book!"

The scholar was so scared that he threw the pen in his hand away. He regretted letting Guo Furong read the novel he wrote. Seeing her talking nonsense, he hurried over to cover Guo Furong's mouth.

"What are you doing!"

Guo Furong had practiced martial arts, so how could she let the scholar succeed? She slapped the scholar and made him scream.

"Don't be so loud, otherwise everyone will know that I'm writing a book!"

Lü Xiucai said with a red face.

"If they know, they know. What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Guo Furong looked at him inexplicably, thinking that he was making a fuss.

Lü Xiucai pulled Guo Furong aside and whispered, "The prince is still here!"

Guo Furong was still confused, "He is doing his thing, what does it have to do with your writing?"

Lü Xiucai said embarrassedly, "I also wrote the prince into the book, and he is a big villain. If the prince knows, will I be..."

As he said that, Lü Xiucai made a throat-cutting gesture.

Guo Furong widened her eyes, "When was it written? Why didn't I see it?"

Lv Xiucai explained, "The latest plot was written not long ago. When you came last time, the prince cut off the arms of the two eunuchs, and then sat on the ground with his old friends to drink. The prince's unrestrained and heroic left a deep impression on me. After I got the inspiration, I brewed it for a long time before writing it."

Guo Furong was puzzled and said, "According to what you said, my senior brother should be a decent person."

Lv Xiucai said embarrassedly, "If he is a decent person, doesn't it make me look too weak? The magic pen scholar Lu Luodi is the protagonist."

Guo Furong looked at Lu Xiucai deeply.

You are really a stuffy guy...

After talking for a long time, Guo Furong finally knew why Lu Xiucai was afraid that Chu Yang would know that he was writing a novel. If Chu Yang wanted to read it, Lu Xiucai would have no way to refuse.

If a prince knew that he was written into a novel, and he was a villain, he would definitely not let Lu Xiucai go.

This is generally true.

But Guo Furong knew Chu Yang's character very well. Although he was a bit venomous sometimes, he was a good person. She had caused him so much trouble, and it was not certain that he would get up and kill her one night.

Thinking of this, Guo Furong realized it later and felt a little ashamed.

"What did you write for my senior brother? Show it to me!" Guo Furong glared and said angrily.

"Don't worry, I didn't write it randomly." How could Lu Xiucai dare to write the prince casually? He spent a lot of effort on this role, even more than the protagonist, and created a very charismatic villain.

After a while, the two hid behind the stairs to check the content of the novel to see if there was anything out of line.

After reading the general plot, Guo Furong's face gradually improved. Just as Xiucai said, he didn't write it randomly. The villain based on Chu Yang was very interesting. She was fascinated after reading only a few paragraphs.

"Well, it's not bad. If you write like this, Senior Brother won't blame you." Guo Furong took the manuscript and read it again and again for a while, and then said: "It's just that the name of the King of Free and Easy is a bit common. Can you give it a cooler name?"

"No, no, the word "free and easy" is very artistic, and it fits the prince's free and easy temperament!" Lu Xiucai, who was discussing the novel, suddenly became confident, "Think about the last time the prince faced the enemy, he was even more relaxed and freehand than Guo Juxia, and defeated two masters with a wave of his hand."

"Such a villain can put more pressure on the protagonist and force the protagonist to grow up. When he is defeated by the protagonist, the readers will feel more involved!"

Guo Furong was convinced by the eloquent scholar, and immediately felt that the three words of the King of Free and Easy were very appropriate, so she stopped questioning.

"The prince really won't care?"

"Don't worry, he'd like you to write him more handsome!"

"No problem at all! As long as the prince is happy, it's okay to change him to the protagonist."

"Eh~~~ You look so disgusting now, just like the treacherous minister in the storybook!"

"Who are you talking about?!"

Then the two discussed the matter of publishing the book, whispering behind the stairs, but no matter how quietly they spoke, they couldn't escape Chu Yang's ears.

After hearing that he was written as "King Xiaoyao", Chu Yang was a little amused and felt that the name was a little familiar. No wonder Guo Furong said it was a common name.

But let them be, anyway, the name is just a code name.

Guo Furong vowed to make money, it turned out that she wanted to help the scholar publish books, and I don't know where she got the channel from.

"What are you two doing here? You are so blatantly lazy. Aren't you afraid that the shopkeeper will come down and tell you about it later?"

Lao Bai appeared out of nowhere and fanned the rag on his shoulder in front of the two people, blowing dust everywhere in the air.

"Ahem, Lao Bai, you came at the right time. I have something to discuss with you!"

Guo Furong was about to get angry, but then she rolled her eyes and pulled Lao Bai to the other side to talk in private.

Chu Yang also heard the general idea. Guo Furong wanted Lao Bai to be a supervisor. If the publisher was not satisfied with what Lu Xiucai wrote and Xiucai was unwilling to change it, she would let Lao Bai give him a hard time, and he would go through all the numb points, itchy points, and mute points one by one.

The viciousness was comparable to Zhou Baopi.

After listening to the whole process, Chu Yang almost laughed out loud. If Master Guo saw his daughter's capitalist face, he would be furious.

In just a short while, Shopkeeper Tong came out of the boudoir, looking a little worried. He was so happy just now, but now his face changed and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Why are you guys gathering together instead of working properly? Have you mopped the floor? Have you wiped the tables and benches? Open all the windows for ventilation. You have so many things to do, yet you are still standing there!"

Tong, the shopkeeper, showed her strong and decisive appearance, and shocked the guys. They didn't know why the shopkeeper, who was fine just now, suddenly became so aggressive, but they didn't dare to ask, and returned to their work posts in shame.

After saying that, she smiled apologetically at Chu Yang and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Chu Yang took a sip of wine, "It's good to be lively."

Guo Furong wanted to sit down and continue to accompany Chu Yang for a big meal, but was pulled up by Tong, "Go to the backyard to wake Xiaobei up for school. What time is it, and you are still sleeping!"

"If she is late, I will deduct your money!"

"Why!" Guo Furong was anxious. The three words of deducting money had a great stimulation on her. She didn't even have any extra excuses to Tong, and disappeared in the lobby with a "whoosh".

Lao Bai sighed: "If Xiao Guo had been with me for a few years, he might have been a thief saint."

"If there are thieves saints everywhere, how can others live!" Shopkeeper Tong said unhappily: "Come up with me, I have something to ask you."

"I have something to ask you again. Many people are looking for me today." Lao Bai smiled and jumped up the stairs. No matter what the shopkeeper wanted him to do, he would do less work. It is natural for workers to slack off.

Not long after, voices came from the room. Chu Yang was not interested in eavesdropping, but his five senses were too strong now. Even if he deliberately suppressed them, he still vaguely heard a few words.

"Lei Laowu's things... cancel the account... give them to the government... sell them separately..."

Shopkeeper Tong got a batch of stolen goods by chance. They were things left by a tomb robber. She was afraid that she would not be able to explain them clearly if she gave them to the government, so Lao Bai suggested that she find a few fools with a lot of money to take them apart and sell them one by one.

That's probably it.

Chu Yang could understand their taboos. Magistrate Lou was honest, but this kind of unclear matter, coupled with Lao Bai's past, was hard not to be suspicious. It was better to have less trouble than more.

The footsteps sounded.

Lao Bai and Tong the shopkeeper went downstairs.

Chu Yang had just had enough wine and food, so he asked Lao Bai to clean up the table. Tong the shopkeeper glanced at the table and found that the food was eaten up by Chu Yang. He was immediately shocked.

Chu Yang ate all the food that the whole inn could not finish in three days!

"Your Majesty, you really have a huge appetite. Aren't you afraid of food accumulation?"

"People who practice martial arts will consume it with a little exercise."

"Then it doesn't mean that you can eat anything and not gain weight? Is there any use for practicing martial arts?"

"Not really, I just have a special physique."

While the two chatted, Tong the shopkeeper quickly sat down near Chu Yang and looked at him affectionately.

"Prince, are you buying jewelry?"

Old Bai, who was wiping the table, felt his legs go limp when he heard this and knelt on the ground, almost frightened to death.

Chu Yang: "..."
