There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 299 Strange Guest

"Give her a hundred taels of gold."

The tenth prince spoke calmly.

Tsk tsk tsk, you have to admit, the way the Tenth Prince looked when he gave her money was quite handsome.

But even if he's handsome, he's still just a little kid, a little kid two years younger than her.

Li Shuchen bowed and said, "Thank you, Tenth Prince. I have a pot of rare purple-gold roses. The color is dark purple, which is very noble and elegant. It even shines with gold in the sun. It is incredibly beautiful. Would the Tenth Prince like to show it to me?"

Given the Tenth Prince's status, he must have seen the Purple-Gold Rose. Li Shuchen deliberately exaggerated this to make the Tenth Prince think that she had nothing of value and that the banquet she hosted was boring.

As expected, when the Tenth Prince heard about the Purple-Gold Rose, he frowned slightly, looked disdainful, and waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it.

Li Shuchen was overjoyed that his goal had been achieved.

"Tenth Prince, you have now experienced the entire banquet program."

Upon hearing this, the Tenth Prince stood up, looked at the twin lotus blossoms, and waved his hand.

The servants splashed and jumped into the clear pond one after another, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Li Shuchen realized what was happening and said, "I'll go get the flowerpots."

He ran away quickly.

Upon arriving at the storeroom, he ordered someone to carry an orange-yellow square crackled flowerpot to the pavilion.

"Tenth Prince, the flowerpots have arrived."

After looking at it, the tenth prince took out ten taels of gold from his sleeve and threw it on the table.

"Buy flower pots"

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stuffed the ten taels of gold on the table into his pocket.

Smiling broadly, she said, "Thank you, Tenth Prince."

The servants transplanted the twin lotus flowers into the yellow pot.

The tenth prince set off to return to the capital.

Zhuangmenkou

Li Shuchen laughed heartily and waved goodbye, saying, "Tenth Prince, welcome back next time."

Thinking to myself: There will be no next time, and I never want to come back in this lifetime.

As the carriage drove away, Li Shuchen's smile faded: "We've finally seen that big shot off. Fortunately, nothing bad happened."

Liang Yuying smiled and said, "Shu Chen is very capable, even more capable than I imagined."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen arrogantly flicked his bangs and said, "That's right, I, Li Shuchen, am the most powerful person in the world."

"Yes, the most powerful in the world."

The two returned to the manor.

Guests are taking pictures of the purple and gold roses.

Wearing a flowing blue-green summer dress, Caiyi shone brightly before the purple-gold roses, exuding confidence and radiance that drew everyone's attention.

Gu Ziying: "The Tenth Prince is gone?"

Li Shuchen: "Hmm, is there any unusual activity over here?"

Ye Bingli leaned closer and whispered, "There are a few male guests who are behaving rather strangely."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen's expression changed instantly, and he frowned as he asked, "Which ones?"

Ye Bingli lent Li Shuchen a hair accessory, quickly uttering a few words: "Sixth row, fifth seat; eighth row, fourth seat; tenth row, seventh seat."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen glanced around inadvertently, then narrowed his eyes.

Everyone who came was a trained fighter, and their martial arts skills were quite high.

What grudge or resentment could possibly lead someone to send such a skilled fighter to harm others?

"Yu Ying, have the girls protect the guests. The banquet is almost over, and they'll be making their move soon."

"Know"

After Liang Yuying finished speaking, she turned and left.

Li Shuchen touched his flat stomach; he was so hungry.

Upon seeing this, Gu Ziying said, "Shu Chen hasn't eaten yet, has he? There's some food left for you in the kitchen, go and eat."

"it is good"

Li Shuchen turned and went into the kitchen, sat down and began to feast. The flower rolls smelled delicious, the braised beef smelled delicious, and the whole roasted lamb smelled delicious.

Uncle Yuan poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Li Shuchen: "Girl, eat slowly, no one will take it from you."

Li Shuchen mumbled, "I haven't eaten all day."

"Okay, okay, you eat, you eat."

Uncle Yuan placed two more plates of food in front of Li Shuchen, saying, "If that's not enough, there's more. I've saved you plenty of food; you'll be full."

Li Shuchen took a sip of tea and ate some rice: "Thank you, Uncle Yuan."

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the auction came to an end.

Gu Ziying entered and asked, "Shu Chen, how do you plan to price the vase?"

Li Shuchen started calculating on his fingers: "The cost of each vase is one tael of silver, so we can sell them for two taels of silver without much problem. Each flowerpot costs ten taels of silver, so we should be able to sell them for twenty taels of silver. The flowers will cost one tael of silver each. What do you think?"

Gu Ziying: "That's what I thought too, but Young Master Cheng felt that crackled porcelain should be priced higher, so he insisted that I come and ask you."

"For those opening a vase, five taels of silver each, and fifty taels of silver each. There are only one hundred in total, first come, first served."

After Li Shuchen finished speaking, Gu Ziying nodded and left.

"You really dare to place an order? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to sell it and it'll be stuck with you?"

Cheng Zhian gracefully entered the room, sat down opposite Li Shuchen, and raised her cup to drink tea.

Li Shuchen: "If it doesn't sell at this price, we can just lower the price again. It's no big deal. Just a friendly reminder, I just drank from the teacup you were using."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhian raised an eyebrow and glanced at the cup, then smiled at Li Shuchen and said, "So what?"

After saying that, he drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.

Li Shuchen pouted: "You've already drunk it, what can I do?"

Cheng Zhi'an suddenly stopped smiling and said, "There are a few troublemakers among the guests, be careful."

Li Shuchen: "Bingli told me, and I've also instructed the 'Mulan Army' to protect the guests and prevent them from harming anyone."

Cheng Zhi'an frowned: "I'm afraid you're here for the guests."

Li Shuchen: "What do you mean?"

Cheng Zhian lowered her head slightly and said softly

“Those people were relaxed and at ease when you weren’t around, but they became tense and their eyes followed you as soon as you appeared. I’m afraid they’re after you. Have you made any enemies in the capital?”

Li Shuchen: "I've done nothing wrong, I've never provoked anyone, and I've never heard of any enemies the Li family has."

Cheng Zhi'an: "Before you transmigrated, the original owner of this body was an idiot. How could you possibly know if she had any enemies?"

Li Shuchen immediately retorted, "She's not stupid, and I have her memories, okay?"

Cheng Zhian: "Anyway, be careful."

Li Shuchen: "I know. I know martial arts, and I have Lao Ba and Lao Jiu protecting me, so I'll definitely be fine. But I need to find out what their purpose is."

"Okay, I'm leaving. I need to pack up and head back to Beijing."

"it is good"

Cheng Zhian got up and left

Li Shuchen got up and went outside, pretending to stroll around casually, and wandered around in front of the three men.

Shuxue likes sunflowers.

Murong Shuxue: "Yes, it's so warm and cozy, it feels like being bathed in spring sunshine."

Li Shuchen: "Let me help you dig it up. Sunflowers love sunshine, so make sure they get plenty of it. Water them moderately, keeping the soil moist. If it's too wet, the roots will rot, affecting their growth, and in severe cases, they'll die."

Murong Shuxue touched the sunflower and murmured, "There are so many intricacies to growing flowers."

Li Shuchen: "Of course, you have to take good care of it for it to bloom beautifully for you. If you abandon it, why should it bloom for you?"

Murong Shuxue nodded emphatically upon hearing this: "Okay, I've got it."

"Miss Li, could you also tell me some details about growing flowers?"

Miss Su walked gracefully to Li Shuchen and smiled.

Li Shuchen looked up and was immediately struck by the beauty of the face, his voice becoming strained: "Of course, Miss Su, what kind of flower do you like?"
