Chapter 384 Xiao Chenyan is unable to dismount from the tiger
Shen Ruzhou was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled and greeted her. He stretched out his hand to borrow money carelessly, "I'm in a hurry and I forgot to bring my money. Please lend me some first."
"Shen Ruzhou, you are quite thick-skinned. Before, you kept saying that you would never ask for anything from me. Now you are borrowing money as soon as you come up. Do you have any sense of shame?" Xiao Chenyan's originally expected emotions of regret, shame, and embarrassment all appeared in Shen Ruzhou. I didn’t see it, and I immediately felt it was boring.
"Don't think too much, I'm not asking you to borrow it, I'm just being arrogant!"
Shen Ruzhou snorted coldly, passed him directly, and came to Xiao Ruohan's side.
Xiao Ruohan learned that Shen Ruzhou wanted to buy medicine to treat a child, so he took out his wallet without saying a word.
Just as he was about to take out the money, Xiao Chenyan flew towards him with a sharp and murderous aura.
Xiao Ruohan had no choice but to take back his purse and whispered a few words in Shen Ruzhou's ear. Shen Ruzhou nodded knowingly.
Xiao Ruohan moved two steps to Xiao Chenyan's side, stood with him again, and then said in a cold voice: "Miss Shen, we have only known each other for a few days, and our friendship is not deep. It is more appropriate to borrow money from King Wu Cheng. "
Hearing this, Xiao Chenyan was very satisfied. He turned around and looked at Shen Ruzhou with a proud look on his face, waiting for her to beg him.
Unexpectedly, Shen Ruzhou jumped directly onto the carriage, stood on it, and said loudly: "King Wucheng cares about the people. He is here today to visit the people's sufferings. If you have any troubles with the folks, please come and complain."
When the people around heard this, they all gathered around and kowtowed in thanks.
Old man Zhang was at the front, kowtowing and pleading, "The grandson of the grassroots family is seriously ill. Please be kind to King Wucheng and give him some medicine."
Many people agreed. They were all poor people. Like Old Man Zhang, their families were also short of clothing and medicine. When they saw the prince coming to Beijing, they naturally complained and begged.
Xiao Chenyan has always valued his reputation among the people. This "seven inches" happened to be manipulated by Shen Ruzhou, forcing him to ride a tiger and be unable to get off.
Xiao Chenyan closed his eyes and quickly calmed down the anger in his heart.Then he put on a friendly face and comforted the people who were kneeling on the ground: "Don't worry, everyone, I will help solve your difficulties. I came in a hurry today, so I paid for the medicine first. I’ll send you some more food and clothing tomorrow.”
When the people heard King Wu Cheng's promise, they were extremely grateful.
Shen Ruzhou winked at Xiao Ruohan, and the two looked at each other and smiled, showing a perfect understanding.
After the people dispersed, Shen Ruzhou took the medicine and gave it to Old Man Zhang's grandson. He sat down by the bed and helped take care of the child.
When Xiao Chenyan saw such a gentle Shen Ruzhou, his heart felt inexplicably painful.In the memory of the dream, Shen Ruzhou was also pregnant with a child, but unfortunately she had a miscarriage. If the child could have been born smoothly, Shen Ruzhou would not have been hopeless and died with hatred.
Outside, Old Man Zhang and his wife set up a big pot in the yard, killed the chickens at home, and gratefully let them eat.
Shen Ruzhou really couldn't shirk it, so he had to agree.
Xiao Ruohan was poor when he was young, so when he saw the couple, he felt particularly friendly, without the usual coldness, so he rolled up his sleeves and helped wash the vegetables and add firewood.
Only Xiao Chenyan stood in the yard blankly, looking at a loss.
Jun Wu moved the tables, chairs and benches out of the room and wiped them with a handkerchief several times before he bit the bullet and asked Xiao Chenyan to sit down.
As soon as Xiao Chenyan sat down, Shen Ruzhou, who was boiling medicine, turned around and asked, "Would you like tea?"
Xiao Chenyan coughed, straightened his back, and said, "Just serve the pot of Biluochun."
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I didn't talk to you."
Xiao Ruohan walked over from behind Xiao Chenyan holding firewood, "I'm not thirsty, so I don't need to drink tea."
Then she looked back at Xiao Chenyan, pretending to be sorry and said: "Your Majesty, the conditions of the farm are simple, there is no tea, and there is no Biluochun. How about I get you a glass of water? But the water is not boiled yet, can you use cold water?"
Xiao Chenyan's face was as dark as ink, and he said in a deep voice: "No need."
As expected, the corners of Xiao Ruohan's eyes raised, and he walked straight over to help old man Zhang continue to prepare the food. He was very busy.
There are only a dozen families in the village, all of them are simple and honest villagers. When they know that a big shot is coming, every family brings out food and wild vegetables to greet him.
Soon several country side dishes were brought to the table, and everyone sat around to eat.
Shen Ruzhou was not a squeamish person, so he ate as soon as he picked up his rice bowl, feeling that it had a different taste.Xiao Ruohan lived a hard life for several years when he was young, but he didn't mind it and ate it even more deliciously.
Xiao Chenyan had never eaten such a meal since he was a child. Looking at the dishes on the table, he didn't know how to eat with chopsticks.
Fortunately, Jun Wu was clever and saw his prince's embarrassment, so he quickly took a bowl of chicken soup and handed it over, "Your Majesty, this soup smells quite delicious. Please try it."
Finally, there was something edible. Xiao Chenyan raised his hand to take it, but Shen Ruzhou snatched it away, "This soup is to replenish the health of sick children."
Jun Wu was unconvinced and argued with his neck raised, "Your Majesty was poisoned some time ago. He was just fine. He should recuperate."
Shen Ruzhou ignored him, but looked at Xiao Chenyan aside, "Dignified King Wu Cheng, are you trying to compete with the children for soup?"
Xiao Chenyan's face turned extremely ugly, and he said with a cold face: "I don't like to drink it."
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou looked successful and brought soup directly into the house to feed the child.
Here, Xiao Ruohan put a chopstick dish into Xiao Chenyan's bowl and whispered in his ear, "No matter how hard it is to eat, the prince will still take two bites, even if it's just to show off, after all there are so many pairs of eyes watching."
Only then did Xiao Chenyan realize that everyone was looking at him, so he had no choice but to pick up the wild vegetables in the bowl and put it into his mouth with difficulty.
He had never eaten such a terrible dish in his life.
After Shen Ruzhou fed the child, he came out and sat with Xiao Ruohan, serving porridge.
While drinking, she chatted cordially with Mr. Zhang.Xiao Chenyan watched her smile and talk to everyone, but she never said a word to him from beginning to end, as if she was an insignificant person, and felt very depressed.
He whispered in Xiao Ruohan's ear, "I didn't ask you here to eat. You are a smart person and you should know where to stand and who to speak for."
Hearing this, Xiao Ruohan had no choice but to put down his chopsticks, took Shen Ruzhou's hand, and became concerned, "Miss Shen, how are you doing at the nunnery? The prince is here, if there is anything missing, just ask for it."
Shen Ruzhou drank the porridge carelessly and replied vaguely, "Nothing is lacking, everything is good."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chenyan snorted coldly, "All the poor people have taken credit, and they still talk hard."
"It seems that King Wu Cheng came here just to see my joke?" Shen Ruzhou put down the porridge, stood up and looked at Xiao Chenyan expressionlessly, and started to quarrel directly.
Xiao Ruohan hurriedly pulled her to sit down and tried to persuade her, "No way, the prince would not be so evil-minded and do such a villainous thing." After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Chenyan subconsciously.
