Chapter 366 Shameless
Jiang Youzhen just smiled and said nothing. These two princes were more confident than each other. How hard they worked during this period would be revealed tomorrow.
"Is that Mr. Jiang in there?"
Suddenly, a gentle female voice was heard from outside the door. Jiang Youzhen felt a headache when he heard the voice.
You are such a great heroine, why don't you go find your male protagonists instead of looking for her as a supporting actress?
Tong Huaian glanced at Jiang Youzhen in surprise, "Are you familiar with the third daughter of the Luo family?"
Jiang Youzhen was afraid that he might misunderstand, so he quickly waved his hands and shook his head.
"Really? I've only seen you twice. You were there last time, and I guess we met this time."
Uncle, please don't misunderstand me! I have nothing to do with your mistress.
"Then why is she staring at you?"
Seeing Jiang Youzhen opening his mouth to explain, he added: "Don't talk about the embroidery shop anymore. I already explained it to you last time. You put the blame on me and said that I took the lion's share of the profits from the embroidery shop."
Jiang Youzhen felt that he was innocent. "How should I know? Maybe it's because of the embroidery shop? You've seen the business of my embroidery shop. It's normal for them to be jealous."
"Please come in, Miss Luo!" Tong Huaian shouted outside.
Jiang Youzhen glanced at him immediately. Isn’t it inappropriate for Luo Shuhuan, a lady from a wealthy family, to come in?
As soon as Luo Shuhuan entered the room, she saw Jiang Youzhen and Tong Huaian, and she paused.
When she saw Jiang Youzhen just now, she hurriedly followed him, but she didn't notice that Tong Huaian was there too.
Originally, she wanted to find Jiang Youzhen to discuss the matter of the embroidery shop again, but now Tong Huaian is here too, so it’s a bit inconvenient.
"So Master Tong is here too. What a coincidence."
Tong Huaian smiled reluctantly, "Miss Luo is out to buy cakes again today?"
Luo Shuhuan's face, which was hidden by the cap, looked a little distorted. He didn't know what was wrong with this Tong Huaian, he looked so weird.
The original owner and he could be considered childhood sweethearts. Although they had not seen each other for several years, Tong Huaian was very unfamiliar with her and his attitude made her feel unusual.
Luo Shuhuan glanced at Tong Huaian's handsome face and thought, forget it, for the sake of this face, he didn't care too much.
"Grandmother has been talking about it these past two days, saying that Master Tong hasn't visited him in the other courtyard for several days."
She changed the subject. The old lady was Tong Huaian's elder, so Tong Huaian shouldn't be disrespectful, right?
As expected, Tong Huaian's expression softened. "How are you these days, old lady? I will definitely visit you when I am free someday."
He said polite words but was muttering in his heart: This Luo Shuhuan might not be able to communicate with Jiang Youzhen because he is here.
While Luo Shuhuan was greeting Tong Huaian, he turned his gaze to Jiang Youzhen.
She sat down opposite the two of them, and because Tong Huaian and Jiang Youzhen were sitting very close to each other, she couldn't help but compare the two.
To be fair, the two have different styles and each has its own merits. But when it comes to dazzling, it has to be Jiang Youzhen.
"Just now I heard Miss Luo asking Xiao Lang outside the door, is there something she wants to see him for?"
Seeing that Jiang Youzhen remained silent, Tong Huaian took the initiative to bring up the matter.
"Oh! It's nothing important. I just saw the back and thought it was Mr. Jiang, so I wanted to say hello."
As soon as Luo Shuhuan finished speaking, she saw Tong Huaian looking at her with a different look. She then remembered that she was now a lady from a wealthy family, so how could she chase after a man from another family?
"It's getting late. I'd better go home early to avoid worrying my grandmother. I'll take my leave now, you two."
Luo Shuhuan stood up and left the room after saying this, leaving Jiang Youzhen and the other person looking at each other in bewilderment.
"This is really strange. I came to you in a hurry just to see you?" Tong Huaian snorted coldly.
"Isn't it because you are here that it is inconvenient? If you were not here, she would definitely ask me about the embroidery shop. Are all the people in the capital so shameless? I have already made it clear that I will not cooperate with them, but she still pursues me relentlessly. She is so shallow-minded."
"You are wrong. Most people who come from the capital are generous. For example, the Fourth Prince and me. As for the Luo family, just think they are shallow!"
Tong Huaian laughed and shook his head.
Luo Shuhuan walked out of the teahouse angrily and stomped her feet twice.
"Jiang Youzhen has a really bad temper. I don't believe Tong Huaian will take the lion's share."
Luo Shuhuan still wanted to use her identity as a time traveler to do some novel business, but now she is a lady from a wealthy family and is locked up in the backyard.
How can you do business if you don't leave the house all day?
So she came up with an idea, which was to partner with others, but unexpectedly Jiang Youzhen was unwilling.
"Miss, what should we do now?" Qiyue came forward. Actually, if she were to say, Jiang Youzhen was just a peasant, so if they couldn't cooperate, then they couldn't cooperate! She didn't know why the young lady was so determined to cooperate with him.
"Let's go, go back quickly." Luo Shuhuan sighed. Such a good opportunity today was wasted again.
However, Jiang Youzhen's approach doesn't work, so she still has to put some effort into Tong Huaian's approach.
Tong Huaian is very capable, and now he works under the Fourth Prince, so his future is limitless. Compared with Jiang Youzhen, who was born in a peasant family, he is a good match for the Luo family.
Even if she couldn't become an imperial concubine, it would be good to marry Tong Huaian, who came from a noble family. What's more, the Tong family was a noble family. The eldest son was dying, so it would be his turn as the second son, right?
The two people who were drinking tea here didn't know that Luo Shuhuan had already planned something for them.
Early the next morning, when Jiang Youzhen had just gotten up, washed up, and was preparing to practice calligraphy, Qingyan came over to report that Huaan's carriage was waiting outside the door.
"So early?" Jiang Youzhen thought about it and it would take about an hour and a half to get from the city to Li County, so it was about time to set off now.
Li County was not a remote and poor place, but it was not close to the wharf and therefore was not prosperous.
But now that the news has come out that Li County is going to rebuild the wharf, this place has begun to prosper.
Jiang Youzhen and his companions' carriage passed by the market town, where they saw crowds of people interweaving and many vendors on both sides, making it very lively.
"Since the imperial court issued an order for Li County to rebuild the wharf, many small merchants have come here after hearing the news."
Tong Huaian lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the stalls on both sides of the market. The most common ones were food and acrobatics, and there was a group of people surrounding them.
"The majority of people in Li County are poor, and many of them have never seen such acrobatics."
Jiang Youzhen was a little surprised, "Brother Huai'an seems to be very familiar with Li County."
"I lived here for a period of time since I was a child." Tong Huaian's face froze, then quickly returned to normal.
"arrive!"
The carriage brought them to an inn. Jiang Youzhen took a look at the name on the plaque, which read Huasheng Inn.
This inn is not big, it only has two floors.
"Master! I just asked the innkeeper, and he said that there are many outsiders who want to stay in the inn these days. Therefore, the upper-class rooms are all sold out.
