Chapter 1705: Substitute girl 28

As night came, another snow fell.

The fifth young master of Prince Huai’s mansion came back with the cakes and some meat he bought outside.

He kept his food in his arms and hugged it into the house.

It was very cold outside, and as soon as I entered the room, I felt a warm feeling. The fifth young master breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled and took out the food: "Sanniang, see what I brought back."

Usually, when the fifth young master came back, the fifth grandmother would definitely greet him with a smile. The couple held hands and sat down, and there was really endless things to say.

But the fifth young master waited for a while today, but he didn't see the fifth grandmother coming out.

He quickly stepped into the inner room, and as soon as he entered, he saw the fifth grandmother sitting beside the bed crying.

"What's wrong?" The fifth young master was anxious and hurried over to ask.

The fifth grandma looked up at the fifth young master, and then shed tears again.

She must have cried for a long time, and her eyes turned red when she cried.

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?" The fifth young master was even more worried: "What did the aunt say?"

The fifth grandma shook her head: "It's not my aunt, it's... Forget it, it's better not to say it. It's very cold outside today. I'll roast the fire first. I'll bring you a cup of hot tea."

The fifth young master held the fifth grandma and refused to let go: "What's wrong? I'm even more anxious if you don't say anything."

The fifth grandma was asked so she couldn't escape and said, "It's from the Laojiu family..."

She told the fifth young master what Ning Ruoxuan said: "You think she dislikes me for going to her house for so long, so she only asks me for something. It's me... I have too little dowry and can't even afford charcoal fire every year. Otherwise, why would I get angry at her?"

The fifth young master was so distressed that he was about to twist it.

He and his fifth grandmother really have a good relationship.

The two met when they were young. Later, when they were twelve or thirteen years old, they fell in love at first sight at the flower viewing banquet. After that, they even found an opportunity to write letters and deliver things. When the fifth grandmother followed her family to worship Buddha, the fifth young master quietly followed her to meet her.

When they got married, the couple even made oil from honey.

After several years of getting married, the fifth master and the fifth grandma never quarreled. Whenever the fifth master went out, he would definitely bring some food to the fifth grandma when he came back. Although it was not worth much money, his heart was really rare.

Now that the fifth grandmother is looked down upon because of her poverty, the fifth young master is naturally sad.

"It's all my fault that I'm not capable. If I can make money, why would it be..."

The fifth young master hugged the fifth grandmother, thinking that she had been said so many ugly words today, but he didn't dare to reject them. It was because he was poor and had a short ambition, so he felt like he was so hard to boil oil.

"We can't do this anymore." The fifth young master said solemnly to the fifth grandma: "We have to find a way. No matter what, we have to find a way to make money anyway. Otherwise, life will be even more difficult in the future."

Grandma Wu was also worried: "But is this money so easy to make?"

She felt cold when she thought of the way the man in the mansion made money: "We are not the kind of ruthless people and cannot make that kind of dirty money, but if we don't use the power of the royal family to earn money that is unconscience, we will not be able to make money completely."

The fifth young master is not a bad heart either.

Although he was born in the palace and was in the palace, he was not the kind of person who used power to suppress others. Unlike other men in the palace who could do anything for money, he used the power of the palace to occupy the land of the people and even took charge of lawsuits. I don’t know how many families he forced to destroy, and the fifth young master could not do such a thing.

"I'll go out for a walk these days. I'm a big man, but I don't believe there is no work I can do."

The fifth young master was also forced to be cruel.

A big man doesn’t even have the money to burn charcoal in winter, so it’s embarrassing to say it out.

In addition, the fifth young master also remembered the Ninth Room in his heart. He secretly hated the Ninth Young Master and Ning Ruoxuan, thinking that when he gained power in the future, he had to suppress these two people.

The fifth young master and the fifth grandma had a good deal of contention, thinking about doing something to make money.

In the Jiufang, Ning Ruoxuan took the book bought by the servant and opened it under the oil lamp and started reading it.

After reading this, Ning Ruoxuan changed her face.

The routine in the book is really too shocking, it seems to be written according to her.

Of course, she was not reborn, but for this person, she was similar to the reborn person. Moreover, if it weren't for her, the end of this body would not be good and would not have a good end in the future.

Ning Ruoxuan was filled with suspicion, so she read the book more carefully.

After reading this carefully, Ning Ruoxuan's face turned pale with fright.

People who write books are very talented and know a wealthy family very well, and they must have a high background. How can such a person write such a book?

Yes or no?

Ning Ruoxuan thought of a possibility.

She quickly called her companion room and said, "You can go out to find out these days and see which talented man wrote the Ruyi Biography."

It snowed all night and it was sunny the next day. Xiao Yuan didn't go out for several days. The weather was getting better on that day, so he took a carriage to the bookstore to see the printing of the Daqiquan Book.

I walked to the bookstore in a carriage and asked the manager. I learned that it would take a long time for the large-scale book to be printed. Xiao Yuan was in a good mood.

He did not stay in the bookstore for much, and he explained some things to the manager, so he took the bus back.

Not long after entering the city, the carriage stopped.

Xiyan reported outside: "The prince, the fifth master of Prince Huai's mansion is outside."

Xiao Yuan quickly said, "Come on the fifth brother up now."

Not long after, the fifth young master lifted the curtain and walked in.

It was very cold outside, but the carriage was placed in it, which made it look very warm. As soon as the fifth young master sat in, he rubbed his hands: "It's evil today, it's surprisingly cold. His hands were frozen and numb after a while."

Xiao Yuan went to see the fifth young master.

I saw him wearing a cotton coat and a hat. On such a cold day, he didn't even wear big-wool clothes. No wonder he was frozen like this.

"Fifth brother sat on the edge of the stove and roasted the fire first." Xiao Yuan said as he took the hand stove and the foot stove and handed it to the fifth master: "Where are you going, Brother Wu?"

The fifth young master smiled and said, "I was so bored in the mansion, so I went out for a walk. I really didn't expect that it was so cold today. I was so cold that my hands and feet were numb after just after coming out. I just wanted to walk back. When I happened to meet you, I thought of riding your car and sitting."

Xiao Yuan smiled and handed a cup of hot tea to the fifth master: "If the fifth brother is fine, we will find a restaurant to sit in a while."

The fifth young master was eager to do so, so he nodded and agreed.

The two of them found a restaurant nearby. After entering, they asked the waiter to lead the way to the second floor.

This restaurant is quite famous in the capital and is cleaned up inside, especially the private room on the second floor. As soon as you enter, a warm fragrance comes to your nose.

The fifth young master felt relaxed.

Xiao Yuan sat down, asked the waiter to register the name of the dish, and asked the fifth young master what he wanted to eat.

The fifth young master ordered a few dishes, and Xiao Yuan also ordered a few dishes. He said, "Come on a basin of hot water first, and then pick up the fruit on two plates."

The hot water is used to wash your hands. When you come outside, your hands will be a little cold. Soaking it in hot water will make it warmer.

The waiter quickly brought the hot water, Xiao Yuan and the fifth young master washed their hands, and then applied the balm finely on their hands. Only after applying it was done were the dried fruits.

The fifth young master was also willing to go out of his way, and he didn't feel embarrassed. After eating a few dried fruits, he asked Xiao Yuan: "To be honest, I'm really struggling to live this life now. Even if your sister-in-law can't buy all the charcoal in winter, I just thought about how to find a way to make some money. You have many ideas on weekdays and find a way to help your brother."

Xiao Yuan put down the fruit in his hand and thought about it very seriously.

"It's not difficult for Brother Fifth to make progress. I have two paths here. Brother Fifth to think about it carefully and choose the same."

While considering, he said, "I asked for printing the Great Completed Book from His Majesty. Now it's almost done. I'll choose a few sets of good books to go in. The rest must be sold to subsidize the household income. However, this Great Completed Book is too expensive and most people can't afford it. Apart from the rich and powerful people, I'm afraid... I'm worried that no one can help me, but I happened to meet the fifth brother. If the fifth brother helped me sell books, what if I ask the fifth brother to get five taels of silver for a set of books?"

The fifth young master was surprised when he heard this: "But it is true?"

Xiao Yuan focused on it: "I can still coax my fifth brother."

He thought about it and said, "There is another thing, this is an errand. I went to the palace and met the prince. Some shops and Zhuangzi under the prince's name were originally managed by his nanny's son. But the fifth brother thought that he knew that the man had committed a crime not long ago and was killed by His Majesty. The prince was worried that he could not find a reliable person to manage. If the fifth brother is willing, I will go to see the prince with you."

The fifth young master lowered his head and thought for a while.

To be honest, he was a little unhappy to take charge of the prince.

The prince was better in the early years, but he didn't know why in recent years, but he did a little out of standard.

In addition, the prince is a bit lustful. There may be many beauties hidden in the village under his name. If the fifth young master cares, let the fifth grandmother know that he may be idle.
