From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 175 Questioning Prince Xin
Meng Yuan chatted with Dugu Kang for a long time, and only said goodbye after Xiangling woke up.

After returning home, Meng Yuan pointed at Xiangling's small bag and said, "Please lend me the Impatiens juice you use to dye your nails, and your small brush."

"What little brush?" Xiang Ling's eyes widened and she said seriously, "I plucked the hair from my tail!"

"..." Meng Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, these are the two things."

"Little gelder, do you want to go out and make some money?" Xiangling was a simple-minded person and took out something immediately.

"It's about right, just something to eat and drink." Meng Yuan said.

"Alas." Xiangling sighed, "It's not easy to make money in this world nowadays!"

She put the small porcelain bottle into Meng Yuan's sachet and gave instructions: "Wrap it with leaves overnight and then unwrap it, it will be almost done! Those who sleep poorly will not be allowed to do so, you have to keep an eye on them!"

"I know." Meng Yuan agreed.

"Forget it!" Xiangling sighed again, "I'd better go with you! Otherwise, you won't make any money and end up losing it! When we go out to do business, we have to focus on our skills!"

"I'm going to see Master Nie to discuss something important." Meng Yuan said.

"Really?" Xiangling asked, staring at Meng Yuan's sachet.

"Really." Meng Yuan said.

"Little gelder, don't take me for an idiot!" Xiangling jumped onto Meng Yuan's shoulder, her eyes wide open, and said, "Are you going to look for Sister Nie? Don't you just want to sleep? I haven't eaten pork, but I've seen a pig run."

She crossed her arms with her little paws, looked up and said proudly, "What don't I know?"

"Who taught you this?" Meng Yuan rubbed his eyebrows.

"Godmother!" Xiangling said earnestly, "Godmother is arranging a marriage for me. She is afraid that I will not know how to handle things after I get married, so she specially invited a maid from the farm to arrange the marriage for me!"

Xiangling put her hands on her hips again, "Your wife also said that! She said that whenever you're not at home, you're sleeping outside!"

Meng Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Oh!" Xiangling sighed, looking like an experienced person, and said, "Let's go back to Datou Mountain in a few days, and I'll find you a few lovers!"

What a mess! Meng Yuan flicked Xiangling's head.

"By then you'll have people both inside and outside the city," Xiangling said very seriously, "and I'll have face too!"

What does this have to do with your face? Meng Yuan could only agree and said, "Let's talk about it later."

"Okay!" Xiangling said confidently, "Now that I've made a lot of money, it's time for me to go back and show it to those bumpkins!"

Meng Yuan glanced at Xiangling, but seeing that she looked like someone who had become rich but had not returned home, like someone wearing fine clothes and walking at night, he couldn't help but laugh.

After dropping Xiangling off at the gate of Jing Garden, Meng Yuan watched her take out the mirror and tidy herself up before heading into the garden. Then he left the palace.

Riding on the little red horse, Meng Yuan first went to the guard post to report for duty.

Now all the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau are in Hulu Mountain, and there is only one centurion who came with Xiao Taotao and is in charge of this place.

The captain's surname was Pan. It seemed that he had received the news and had a general idea of ​​what happened in Hulu Mountain, but he didn't know why, so he pulled Meng Yuan aside and asked about the details.

Meng Yuan could only give a general idea of ​​what he had just said, and he talked until the evening before returning to Zuiyue Tower.

When night fell, Meng Yuan entered Nie Qingqing's house, took a bath, and talked about their farewell.

When the passion was at its peak, Meng Yuan took out Xiangling's eating utensils.

Nie Qingqing never expected that a seventh-rank warrior could bend down so carefully and do the nail painting job bit by bit. Her body immediately felt weak and hot.

Under this kind of boudoir fun, Nie Qingqing became even more obsessed and immediately turned over a new leaf, needless to say.

The next day, the two of them dawdled until almost noon before getting up. After taking a bath and eating, Meng Yuan rode his horse and took Nie Qingqing out of the city for a ride. They were very happy.

It was not until the evening that Meng Yuan sent Nie Qingqing back home. But as soon as he got home, Jiang Tang came over again, talked a lot of things in a roundabout way, and then pestered Meng Yuan to paint her nails.

Obviously she had gotten information from someone, otherwise she would never have said such a thing rashly.

"As a Taoist boy serving the Third Miss, you should dress simply." Meng Yuan gave a high-sounding reason.

"Of course not for fingernails." Jiang Tang made more sense, "But the princess doesn't look at my feet."

“……”Meng Yuan rubbed his head.

"Little gelder," Xiangling said, trying to be reasonable. "Godmother said that we should treat everyone equally! If you stick your butt out to that one today, you should stick your butt out to that one tomorrow."

Meng Yuan was finally convinced and had no choice but to accept it.

"Then come to my room later!" Jiang Tang was overjoyed and went to boil water to wash his feet first.

"I'll help you!" Xiangling said very diligently, "You need to massage your feet after washing them to make them feel better!"

Did the Third Miss really use Xiangling as an inspector? Meng Yuan was speechless.

After a while, Xiangling came to invite Meng Yuan. The two of them went to Jiang Tang's room, took out the porcelain bottle, and Meng Yuan started to get busy again.

Unlike last night, Meng Yuan had no distractions and was only focused on his work.

Jiang Tang blushed and didn't know what to say.

Xiangling, on the other hand, came closer, stared with big eyes, and kept chattering, "Yours and Grandma Ying's are the smallest, Third Grandma's is the prettiest, and Aunt Mingyue's is the whitest!"

She actually commented.

"You've seen a lot!" Meng Yuan smiled.

"Ah, it's inevitable in this line of work!" Xiangling looked accustomed to the world. "Summer is almost over, I have to find another business!"

"What kind of business do you want to start?" Meng Yuan asked.

"Doing business is a science!" Xiangling became excited when she mentioned this. "I need to think about it! Otherwise, it will be bad if I lose money! My godmother taught me to do business that will not lose money!"

"Is there any business in the world that doesn't lose money?" Meng Yuan was curious.

"Yes!" Xiangling made sense, "As long as you are determined, you will definitely find it!"

The three of them chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

Xiangling also told Meng Yuan some tips on how to be lazy, as well as the life lessons her godmother taught her, such as not going to crowded places, not going to sparsely populated places, and the more beautiful a person is, the more likely they are to deceive.

After waking up one night, Meng Yuan planned to take Jiang Tang out for a walk, but he didn't expect that Zhang Guinian would come with Gong Zihua and Zhang Lingfeng.

"You came back a few days early and just stayed at home to play with your young wife?" Zhang Guinian walked into the room and asked curiously after Jiang Tang served him hot tea and left.

"Then what should I do?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.

"..." Zhang Guinian was stunned for a moment, then said: "At least go to the guard post more often and build a relationship with Captain Pan. He is also from the capital, right?"

"Then I'll go tomorrow." Meng Yuan said.

"No need, you've got someone to recommend you, a pretty boy!" Zhang Guinian waved his hand, "We're going to see Prince Xin. Have you met him in the palace?"

"No." Prince Xin Dugu Sheng lived in seclusion and never showed up. Meng Yuan had never approached him and had never seen him.

Of course, most people in the palace have never seen Dugu Sheng.

"You will go too later! Commander Xiao Taotao knows that you are the princess's man, so he specially called your name." Zhang Guinian said.

"Meet Prince Xin?" Meng Yuan had been in the palace for nearly a year, and today he was finally going to meet the owner of this place.
