Chapter 888: 123 recomnded Chapter 888: 123 recomnded Looking up at the sign of the Fragrant Full Building, Wang Hong straightened his clothes, “Here we are.
Rember, you must act with dignity and be clever.
Don’t be like last ti when you t the Second Prince, unable to utter a word even after being asked repeatedly!”
Chen Shii smiled apologetically and nodded, following Wang Hong off the carriage.
Since Zhao Hongde was close to Xia Zheng, it was natural that he would stay at the Fragrant Full Building.
At that mont, Wang Hong felt even more relieved that he had not made things difficult for Xia Zheng and Lin Yuan; otherwise, he surely wouldn’t have been able to see Zhao Hongde’s face today.
“I’ll go in first.
Follow in when His Highness Third Prince summons you,” Wang Hong specially instructed Chen Shii, then briskly entered the elegant room.
After Wang Hong entered, Chen Shii straightened his sleeves and looked around.
It wasn’t alti yet, so there were few people in the Fragrant Full Building.
He coughed softly, clasped his hands together, and respectfully bowed to the empty space, practicing his manner attentively.
“This commoner, Chen Shii, greets His Highness Third Prince.
No, that won’t do, too stiff.” He shook his head and stood up, then bowed again, “This commoner, Chen Shii, greets Your Highness.
Hmm, that was better.
Don’t be nervous, one more ti.
This commoner, Chen Shii, greets…”
“Oh!
Isn’t this Young Master Chen?
Why such an elaborate bow?
I can’t accept such courtesy!”
A crisp and pleasant voice sounded above him, almost startling Chen Shii into throwing his back out.
“You!
You!
Lin Yuan, don’t flatter yourself.
I wasn’t bowing to you at all!” Straightening his back sharply, Chen Shii believed he did so with great flair as he flicked his sleeves and looked askance with his chin raised, exceedingly arrogant.
Lin Yuan sneered, “Oh, so it wasn’t a greeting for , huh?
I saw all your bowing and gesturing, and thought you were welcoming !”
Welco you?
Chen Shii heard what seed like the funniest joke, and burst into laughter, “Lin Yuan, oh Lin Yuan, just look at yourself now, dressed so plainly.
And then look at , in silk and satin, welcoming you?
What a joke!
Moreover, you are even carrying tea!
Let guess, did you also find out who the gentleman inside is, the current Third Prince, and rushed over to curry favor?
Tsk, tsk, Lin Yuan, have you even taken a good look at yourself?
Only I might regard you differently.
The Prince, ha, you might as well give up on that dream!”
Lin Yuan’s lips twitched into a slight smile, silently watching Chen Shii as he prattled on, feeling repeated pangs of regret.
How did she not see this man’s true colors from the beginning?
“Tsk, tsk, Young Master Chen speaks the truth.
Look at the clothes you’re wearing, they must be worth at least seven or eight taels of silver, right?”
“What seven or eight taels?
Can clothes worth seven or eight taels of silver befit ?
The clothes I’m wearing cost more than ten, twenty taels of silver!
Go away, don’t touch , I still have to pay my respects to His Highness Third Prince!
Ah, and you, Lin Yuan, you run such a large tavern and can’t even buy yourself decent clothes and jewelry.
Going out like this, you still look like a little village girl!”
As Chen Shii adjusted his attire, he did not forget to mock Lin Yuan.
In his mind, although the Fragrant Full Building had cleared its na, it could not compare to the Drunken Immortal Residence.
The main store of the Drunken Immortal Residence was in the Capital city.
Compared to it, the Fragrant Full Building was just a small shop.
Even though he had an inkling that Xia Zheng’s identity was sowhat extraordinary, compared to the one inside the room, he was nothing to speak of!
Seeing Chen Shii’s haughty deanor, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but remind him, “Young Master Chen, your clothes alone cost twenty taels of silver, but how much have you sent your parents to live on?
Ah, these past days I’ve been busy with the tavern and forgot to visit Aunt Chen.
I wonder if the old couple has had enough to eat or any silver to spend?”
“Lin Yuan!
Shut your mouth!” Before Lin Yuan could finish, Chen Shii barked sharply, stepping closer and threatening her in a low voice, “Lin Yuan, you should be aware of the identity of the gentleman in the room by now, I’m telling you, I ca here today to see him.
I also know that Xia Zheng’s status is no small matter, but no matter how noble, he is still not above a prince!
Don’t bla for not warning you, if you keep spouting nonsense, once I rise to prominence, I’ll make sure you pay for it!”
Lin Yuan narrowed her eyes, a hint of pity flickering in her gaze towards Chen Shii.
