Chapter 33 Looking for a house

Both the chef and the waiter at Fan Lou are very agile. As soon as Qin Xiang sat down, the waiter lined up and brought out all kinds of dishes, filling the entire table.

Qin Xiang swept the food casually and burst into laughter. Then he looked at Xue Shu with a pretentious look: "Sure enough, they are all my favorite food! Shu'er, you understand me so well."

Xue Shu reluctantly raised her chin at her: "Stop doing this, just eat."

"Okay!" Qin Xiang laughed, picked up his chopsticks and began to eat happily.

Practicing martial arts requires a lot of physical strength. She is so hungry that she can eat a cow.

Unlike her, Xue Shu didn't move much all day long. She was full after taking two mouthfuls. Now she just held the wine glass and turned to look at the movement in the lobby on the first floor.

The lively and noisy fireworks below are much more beautiful than the static scenery.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Xue Shu saw a snow-white figure and couldn't help but wonder.

neat?

Can she meet her just for a meal?

What a coincidence.

Qin Xiang also followed her gaze and turned to look: "Hey, I'm an acquaintance."

Aren't they acquaintances? The few words they exchanged at the palace banquet shattered Chu Chu's dream of being the county master.

Xue Shu was really not interested in her and looked away after one glance. Qin Xiang was very interested, looking out while eating, as if he was busy.

Downstairs, Prince Xiaoyao seemed to be in a bad mood and had a bad face all the time. Chu Chu almost fed food into his mouth, but he still didn't say a word.

Chu Chu's patience was also quite limited. Seeing that Prince Xiaoyao refused to go down the ladder, she immediately lost her temper, threw her chopsticks on the table, and stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the hall downstairs was eerily quiet.

Now the news has spread throughout the capital that Prince Xiaoyao has returned to the capital with his savior.

It doesn't matter if you don't know what Princess Xiaoyao looks like. It's enough to know that the savior is a cold and pure woman who only likes to wear white.

Chu Chu is dressed in white clothes that are not stained by dust. The dress is also embroidered with complicated and gorgeous embroidery with silver thread. It doesn't look like much at first glance, but under the light, the silver thread can show sparkling waves, which is very eye-catching. It can be said that

It is low-key and luxurious.

At this time, the lights in Fanlou were brightly lit, which naturally made the patterns on her clothes more obvious.

Chu Chu naturally became the focus of the audience.

Look at the man sitting with this savior. He is wearing a smoky purple robe with royal patterns embroidered on the cuffs. No need to guess, this is Prince Xiaoyao.

Generally speaking, no one with any status would eat in this hall, but now it's better, with the dignified prince sitting here like this, and everyone can't even breathe.

"I told you, I don't want such a big house!" In the end, Chu Chu couldn't hold it back anymore and said angrily, "I just want a small one, just enough for me to live in!"

Everyone exclaimed - Wow! What a girl who is easily satisfied!

"But don't you look at where you are looking for!" Prince Xiaoyao also spoke, his voice full of helplessness, "It is not safe in the market, Chu Chu, I don't trust you..."

"I was originally a member of the market, but now I'm just returning to where I should be, so what's the point of being unsafe!" Chu Chu's pretty face turned red with anger, and she seemed to be very angry.

Everyone exclaimed again - Wow! What an approachable woman!

In front of the public, Prince Xiaoyao had some words that were hard to say, and his face became stiffer.

Qin Xiang, who was upstairs, almost choked to death because of her words. Fortunately, Qingyu was nearby and quickly raised his hand to pat her on the back, finally regaining her composure.

Qin Xiang's eyes fell on her luxurious and unparalleled dress.

"For such a big person, you can choke on the water you drink." Xue Shu said with disgust, while handing her a handkerchief and asking her to wipe her mouth.

Qin Xiang laughed twice and said, "I'm just a little surprised!"

"Surprised?" What's so surprising.

Chu Chu is right, isn't she just a member of the market?

Seeing Xue Shu's confused expression, Qin Xiang said speechlessly: "Have you ever seen a beggar holding a golden bowl begging for food?"

Xue Shu was startled, then her eyes paused on Chu Chu for a moment, and said: "After all, she has to go out and go in together with the prince, so naturally she can no longer wear coarse clothes. It is unreasonable."

Qin Xiang rolled his eyes at her unceremoniously.

After Xue Shu finished speaking casually, she was suddenly stunned again.

Chu Chu is looking for a house?

There was such an incident in the previous life, but I heard that Prince Xiaoyao and Chu Chu were just unhappy in private, and they did not make it known to everyone like they are now.

At this time in the previous life, Chu Chu had just arrived in Beijing for less than two months and was busy looking for a place to live.

In fact, it is not difficult for Chu Chu to find a place to live in the capital with the support of Prince Xiaoyao. The only difficulty is that Chu Chu does not like the house that Prince Xiaoyao likes, but the house that Chu Chu likes is not favored by Prince Xiaoyao.

Not on.

The reason is very simple. Chu Chu always said that "the house is just big enough to live in", so she looked for small courtyards with two or three entrances that could be decorated warmly and delicately with a little effort.

However, Prince Xiaoyao's vision was very high, and the house he was interested in was too luxurious, so Chu Chu refused to take it.

Finally, Prince Xiaoyao made his idea come to Xue Shu.

Because Xue Shu has two houses in her hands, both of which have courtyards with three entrances, which is in line with Chu Chu's expectations.

One of them has been rented out, and the other one is in a very good location, surrounded by court officials. Although it is of a lower grade, it is much better than living in the market.

For this reason, Prince Xiaoyao came to her specifically and offered to buy the house from her at a high price. On the surface, she was mean to her, but she actually gave him the land deed.

She gave everything they wanted, but she didn't leave a good impression on them.

Of course, that was not her intention.

If she had her own way, even if she tore up the deed to the house, burned it, packed it with stones and floated it, she would never give it to Chu Chu.

Thinking of this past incident, Xue Shu felt aggrieved.

No, no matter what she says this time, she won't hand over the land deed again.

It's not all aimed at Chu Chu. The two land deeds were given to her by Xue Lu. She had always rented one out and left the other empty. And the empty one was her escape route!

Although she was unwilling to break off the engagement for the sake of her reputation, in life, she always had to think more about herself and leave more escape routes for herself.

That house was her last resort.

She thought that one day, if she could no longer live in Changshenghou Mansion, if she was divorced, or reconciled, she would take Qingyu and live in that small courtyard, and she would always have a worry-free life.

The result! She gave it to Prince Xiaoyao in a daze!

Later, Chu Chu didn't live there for long. After about a year or two, he moved into the county prince's mansion.

The house continued to remain vacant.

However, the land deed was no longer in Xue Shu's hands, and she could not live there. After being refused permission by Xue Yue, she was heartbroken and felt that there was no place for her in such a large capital, so she simply packed up her things and went to the Taoist Temple.

After going there for decades, I never looked back at this prosperous capital city, which finally turned into a pile of loess on a barren mountain.
