Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 85 Selling Musk

"This calligraphy is also beautiful, with iron-like strokes and silver-like hooks, graceful as a startled dragon, and the writing is so vivid!"

Jiang Youzhen racked his brains and used all the words of praise he had in mind.

Seeing that the Fourth Master was looking at her with more and more appreciation, Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but grin, "Is that enough? If it's not enough, I can't think of anything else."

"My apologies! It's just an ordinary thing. I see you have a lot of insights on this, so why don't you also write a poem?"

The Fourth Master now likes Jiang Youzhen more and more, and handed the pen to her.

"Ah? This? Forget it. I've just started learning, and I can only appreciate it! I won't embarrass myself."

Jiang Youzhen chuckled and then pointed to the blank space below.

The Fourth Master couldn't help laughing and then signed there.

Jiang Youzhen leaned over to take a look, and when he saw the three words "Chongming (character)", he was suddenly delighted.

Zhao is the royal family’s surname. Jiang Youzhen already knew this when he went to the county town last time. Could it be that the fourth prince’s name is Zhao Chongming?

“Chongming is my courtesy name!” Seeing Jiang Youzhen staring at the character, the Fourth Prince explained and then stamped it with his own private seal.

"This name is good, it has a good meaning, and it sounds nice!"

Tong Huaian: Haha! Is there anything bad about the Fourth Master to you?

"Manager Yuan, please help me frame it. I plan to take it back and admire it every day!" Jiang Youzhen waited for the ink to dry, rolled up the painting, and solemnly handed it to Yuan Shang who was standing beside him.

Yuan Shang: ...Oh no! I met my match today. This guy knows how to order people around.

The Fourth Master nodded, feeling elated. For a moment, he felt that he had met Jiang Youzhen too late!

He quickly invited Jiang Youzhen to sit down and asked the servant to bring him tea, and even ignored Tong Huaian who was standing beside him.

Jiang Youzhen complained in his heart: This man looks as quiet as a chrysanthemum, but in fact, his desire for power is no less than that of the second prince.

In that book, the Fourth Prince took advantage of the heroine several times in the early stages, and Jiang Youzhen felt that he was a double-faced person.

Tsk tsk! These five older princes of the royal family all have good looks, but they are also really cruel.

After answering a few casual questions from the Fourth Prince, Jiang Youzhen gave the main stage to the two and fell silent.

"So, the delicious dish we had in town last time was made by this Mr. Jiang?"

When the Fourth Master heard Tong Huaian's introduction, he was immediately surprised.

"Mr. Jiang looks young, but I didn't expect his cooking skills to be so amazing. Could it be that he inherited his family's cooking skills?"

"I'm just interested!" Jiang Youzhen didn't explain much.

"Mr. Jiang is really talented. He gets addicted to the taste. Last time, I was so fascinated that I couldn't leave!" The Fourth Prince sighed.

Jiang Youzhen quickly said a few humble words and his attitude was very respectful.

In fact, asking her was just a side question, as she was the only one on the same boat. The two of them then discussed the restaurant business on their own, and it was settled in just a few words.

For them, opening a restaurant was just a matter of convenience. The fourth master only needed to agree and say a few words of asking Jiang Youzhen to do it, and that was it.

"Fourth Master, Brother Huai'an, it's rare for me to come to the county town, and I want to buy some things to bring back. Why don't I go first, and you two can chat slowly."

Jiang Youzhen felt a little bored sitting there. He knew that the other person must have something important to discuss, so he shouldn't just be an eyesore.

"Okay! Go ahead and buy whatever you want. I'll let Xiaoliu drive the carriage for you. Lord Lin will hold a banquet at 3:30 pm, so you can arrive on time."

Tong Huaian agreed immediately. Xiaoliu was the servant who drove them here. Jiang Youzhen complained that the name of this servant was not very good. Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, and is there also a Xiaosi?

The Fourth Master just smiled and nodded, saying, "Please do as you please!", and then returned to his previous cold and reserved appearance.

Jiang Youzhen doesn't expect people to look at her with new eyes and take good care of her just by a few words of flattery, as she doesn't have the aura of a heroine.

After calculating the time, she estimated that there were still about two hours before the dinner, so she quickly left the house.

Now that they are here, the wolves and musk deer in the storage space must act quickly.

After Jiang Youzhen left, the Fourth Prince looked at Tong Huaian, "Is he reliable?"

"We are still waiting and watching for now, but she grew up in the village, so her identity is not a problem. As for her contact with the Second Prince, it was just an accident."

Tong Huaian did not mention that the Second Prince also sent people to follow Jiang Youzhen. His intuition was that he should not say it, and he didn't know why.

The fourth prince nodded, "I trust you. You know why we opened a restaurant. If this boy is unreliable, it will be easy for him to go wrong."

"She only wants to make money and doesn't want to get involved in other things. But I think she is a little smart, so I want her to work for you."

The Fourth Prince noticed that Tong Huaian's eyes were full of smiles when he talked about Jiang Youzhen.

"You are optimistic about her?" The Fourth Prince raised his eyebrows.

"You have some talent in studying." Tong Huaian picked up the tea bowl, hiding a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Jiang Youzhen ran out of the backyard of the government office like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. She asked Xiaoliu to drive the carriage to a teahouse in the market town and wait for her, while she quickly went to a quiet and deserted alley.

When she came out, she was carrying a cloth bag in her hand with difficulty.

"Young man, is your boss here today?" As soon as Jiang Youzhen saw the medicine boy from last time, he immediately stuffed two copper coins into the other's hand and asked.

The medicine boy turned around and saw a young man dressed in rich clothes. He was suddenly confused.

Jiang Youzhen then remembered that he had changed a lot, so it was normal for others to forget.

"It's me! The one selling Ganoderma lucidum." Jiang Youzhen reminded quickly.

"Huh? Is that you? Yes, I'm here. Let me let you know."

The medicine boy then remembered and secretly envied, that Ganoderma lucidum is too valuable, isn't it? It's only been a short time since I last saw it, and the sparrow has turned into a phoenix.

Jiang Youzhen waited for a while, and the medicine boy came and asked him to follow him to the room where Manager Liu was resting.

"When you haven't seen a man for three days, you should look at him with new eyes!" Shopkeeper Liu was also shocked by Jiang Youzhen's attire. He was not as ignorant as the medicine boy.

Just by looking at the rubies on Jiang Youzhen's headband and belt, you can tell that this outfit is worth no less than four hundred taels.

"Haha! Just to make things more interesting, let me show you this."

Jiang Youzhen put the cloth bag on the ground as he spoke. Shopkeeper Liu walked forward to open it and was immediately overjoyed.

"It's a male musk deer." Of course he knew that only male musk deer have musk.

"I don't know how to take the musk myself, please ask the shopkeeper to do it for me."

Shopkeeper Liu had already taken out the musk deer and started taking them without any further ado.

He turned the musk deer over, and when he turned over to the belly, he began to cut it open with a dagger, preparing to take out the hair shell.

Jiang Youzhen watched the steps from the side, and once he had learned them, he would be able to handle it himself the next time he encountered it on the mountain.

After taking out the hairy shell, Manager Liu brought out a thin long spoon, which Jiang Youzhen thought looked like an ear spoon.

He reached in and pulled out a lot of brown powder.

This should be musk. When Jiang Youzhen took it out and took a look, he found that there was not much.

"That's all?" She was a little disappointed. It wasn't much! How much could it sell for?
