The farmer has a mall

Chapter 307

Emperor Anyang, who didn't know the truth, sighed secretly that his camouflage technique was very successful, and he didn't know that he was exposed early in the morning.

Of course, he didn't intend to go up to meet Gu Nanyan.

Until Eunuch Xu brought the stewed cabbage in clear water bought from the post station to the carriage, and smelled the aroma of barbecue wafting from the front, Emperor Anyang's complacent face finally collapsed.

Eunuch Xu is also very helpless: "This place is located in a remote place, and there are not many ingredients to choose from. In addition, there is only one vehicle delivering ingredients passing by every seven days. Today is just the seventh day..."

Emperor Anyang also knew that it would be nice to have a mouthful of hot food when he was away from home, and if it was a normal day, he would definitely eat it without saying a word.

But why is he eating cabbage here, while Gu Nanyan and his party are full of fish and meat!

Smelling the extra alluring meaty smell of some kind of spices, how could he eat it!

Seeing him staring straight ahead, Eunuch Xu hurriedly explained: "The ingredients on the princess' side were specially prepared by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before leaving, and they were not purchased from the inn."

Emperor Anyang curled his lips, secretly thinking that brat Fu Tuo was careful, looked down at the clear soup in his bowl, put down his chopsticks, and said, "Go find someone with a face, and buy some barbecue with them."

Then he paused, and added: "I also smelled chicken soup, so I went to buy some."

Having received a reply from the prince, Eunuch Xu, who knew that the princess already knew about their existence, hesitated for a moment in embarrassment.

Seeing the master resting on the carriage, not moving the vegetables in the bowl, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the front to beg for food.

When Gu Nanyan heard about his intentions for coming, seeing his embarrassed and embarrassed expression under his wide hood, he didn't feel too embarrassed, and asked someone to cut a leg of lamb for him.

Eunuch Xu happily left. Li Yi, who was adding firewood to the bonfire, said helplessly, "It's not an option to go on like this. It's a long way back to Beijing, so we can't let him follow behind."

He frowned and said: "I have received a secret letter from the emperor. Recently, there has been a gathering of forces in Beijing. They are probably going to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. The second child is also preparing troops in the northwest. I am afraid that this journey will not be too much safe."

The second child he mentioned was Prince Jing.

For the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, King Jing, who grew up under her knees, naturally received a letter from the Queen Mother asking him to return to Beijing to celebrate his birthday.

It wasn't a big deal at first.

However, when the fief prince returns to Beijing, he can only bring 2000 people at most, and there is no need to raise troops in advance. Combined with the forces in Beijing, his move is very suspicious.

Gu Nanyan also frowned, she also received a letter from Gu Yao not long ago.

In the past month, many parties in Mingshan City intended to sneak into the arsenal, in order to make the blueprints for the city's anti-cannon.

Fortunately, she divided the drawings into multiple parts, and each part was made by a different department.

These people don't know each other, and the list of workers is also kept secret. No one knows what the role of the part they are responsible for, so people have nowhere to start.

Since the discovery of these spies, the inspection at the entrance of Mingshan City has become more stringent. Those who do not have household registration in the city must be carefully interrogated to ensure that there is nothing suspicious before entering the city.

It is also for this reason that Mingshan City is easy to get in and out of, and the mechanical fans made by her are even more difficult to find, and they have been fired at sky-high prices.

Gu Nanyan smacked her lips, and decided to draw a few more drawings while on the road, and also made the mechanical clock.

She looked back at Li Yi, his face was flushed red by the bonfire.

Noticing her gaze, Li Yi smiled softly, rubbed her head, and handed her the freshly baked corn sprinkled with chili powder and salt and pepper in the other hand.

"Is this king's face still eye-catching?" He teased, his face was calm, but his heart beat a little faster.

He continued to turn over the food on the grill, but deliberately turned his face to the best angle, revealing his sharp jaw line, his face seemed to be shining against the firelight, and he held his breath nervously waiting for her answer.

Gu Nanyan noticed his nervousness, and felt amused in her heart, pretending to be serious and looking at his face carefully.

It wasn't until he heard his heart beating like a drum that he curled his lips and said, "Not bad, her skin is fair and rosy, her facial features are three-dimensional and her eyebrows are straight, she is a rare beauty."

She said this like a benefactor in a brothel, with a hint of teasing.

Li Yi didn't expect her to say this, his usual calm expression broke instantly, his face turned redder, and he didn't know if he was roasted by the fire.

He cleared his throat: "Don't talk nonsense, how can I be called a beauty when I am a majestic man?"

He paused, seeing no one was paying attention, and added solemnly: "If you want to say it, you have to say it when there is no one..."

He stood up uncomfortably, took off the baked food from the rack, put it on a plate and handed it to Gu Nanyan.

During this period, he didn't dare to lift his eyelids, but the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he could tell at a glance that he was in a good mood at this time.

Seeing him trying to cover up but still smiling, Gu Nanyan happily gnawed on the corn in his hand.

"I heard that you have a Jubaozhai in the capital, which specializes in selling some precious items. Why don't you cooperate with me?"

Hearing her suddenly talk about business, Li Yi, who was still immersed in joy, didn't recover for a moment, and looked at her suspiciously.

Gu Nanyan explained: "If you think about it, you also know that my fan sells well, but it's too limited to sell it only in Mingshan City. Why don't you sell it in your Jubaozhai, and the profit will be three to seven?"

Li Yi shook his head slowly when he heard the words: "You just let people put the things in Jubaozhai directly, and you don't need to share my profits."

"Besides..."

He raised his head and glanced at Gu Nanyan: "After returning to Beijing, I will ask the emperor to go to the general's mansion to propose a marriage. If you agree to this marriage, mine will be yours. If you need someone to clean up Jubaozhai, how do you want to use it?" you."

At this moment, Li Yi was very nervous, afraid that Gu Nanyan would refuse, remembering the previous promise he had made with Emperor Anyang, he said again: "Of course, if you want to propose marriage to the king, it is also possible..."

Gu Nanyan: "..."

"What if I disagree?" She tentatively asked.

A look of disappointment flashed across Li Yi's eyes, then he pursed his lips, looked at Gu Nanyan and gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will propose marriage once a month until you agree!"

Gu Nanyan rolled her eyes: "Then you might become the laughing stock of Beijing."

No matter men or women, it is a very shameful thing to be rejected when proposing a marriage. If they are rejected once a month, the dignified King Sheng may soon become famous all over the country.

"As long as I can marry you, I don't care about this face." Li Yi said seriously.

Gu Nanyan lowered her eyes, seemingly unintentionally said: "Then what if I don't agree in this life."

"Then I will keep you alone until you grow old. Even if you marry someone else... you won't marry another woman."

His expression was firm, and his tone contained forbearance, which made Gu Nanyan startled.

It was originally a joke, but she got such a solemn guarantee from him, which made her speechless instantly, with mixed feelings in her heart.

In this world, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines, let alone a prince.

Therefore, since Gu Nanyan came to this world, she has never thought about getting married. She knows that even if she lives alone, she can live a good life without using marriage as a leverage.

But at this moment, looking at the man staring at her earnestly in front of her, she suddenly felt that if she lived with him, it would not seem annoying to others.

The two fell silent, Gu Nanyan chewed the food in his mouth, and then slowly opened his mouth after a long while.

"Those who want to spend the rest of their lives with me are not allowed to take concubines, seek pleasure outside, let alone raise a concubine. If they make promises but fail to keep them, I will take his life with my own hands!" She said, staring into his eyes cautiously.

"You know I always do what I say, so, are you still willing to marry me?"

The murderous Ling Ran she said, if others were afraid, they would have been scared away.

But Li Yi slowly raised the corners of his lips, his eyes shone like a sea of ​​stars, and he said softly:
"What you wish is what I ask, and I dare not ask for it."
