20. The virtual boy
The next five days were not surprising, and Chen Lang often exercised. After exercising, he walked around the Prince's Mansion and the streets and alleys next to him, and adapted to the new environment step by step.
The Prince's Mansion is located in the prosperous neighborhood of Huaining. The surrounding area should be rich families. This can be judged by the size of the house. However, Chen Lang has not figured out who lives in it yet.
Zhong Ping has removed the exclusive mark of Liang State on the carriage to prevent some unpredictable hidden dangers. The exterior wall of the prince's mansion has also been ordinary, and the identity of the temporary owner should be reduced as much as possible.
However, as the prince of Liang who was on the mission to Xu State, there are still many people who want to visit Chen Lang. At the same time, Chen Lang also needs to visit some people. The specific list is being formulated, and Chen Lang himself will also consider it carefully.
Zhong Ping wished Chen Lang would stay away every day, so that he could reduce the risk of lies being exposed. Therefore, he drafted the list only out of etiquette. Some powerful Chen Lang had to visit him once, otherwise it would appear that Liang Guo did not understand the rules.
Of course, Chen Lang considered himself from his own interests. He had to make friends with royal relatives, because his current role was very embarrassing and his head might fall into the vegetable market in Xu Country at any time. If he could make friends with some royal relatives, maybe someone would help him save his life the day the problem arises.
"Little Fish! Little Fish!" Chen Lang shouted in his room. Little Fish is next to him. If he shouts like this, the other party will definitely hear it.
Sure enough, in just half a minute, Xiaoyu pushed the door and walked in. She had just washed her hair, her wet bangs were pressed against her forehead, and there were still water marks on her face and neck, which added a bit of beauty.
"Is this outfit good looking?" Chen Lang whirled his body.
"Of course it looks good, the prince looks good no matter how he wears it." Xiaoyu said with a brow raised.
"You can wear whatever you want, too." Chen Lang praised seriously.
"But I don't have any clothes to wear." Xiaoyu lowered his head sadly.
She looked very melancholy. Indeed, no matter whether she was a palace maid or a maid now, Xiaoyu really had no good clothes. If Xiaoyu had not been born with beauty, she would have definitely become a common person.
Alas alas alas ~
Chen Lang sighed three times in his heart. He reached out and touched Xiaoyu's sleeves. The blue robe was made of coarse cloth. But what could I do? Chen Lang was so stupid that he bought a piece of clothes for Xiaoyu? Just think about it.
In fact, Chen Lang had asked Yin Baichuan privately two days ago, asking him if he asked Zhong Ping for money, would Zhong Ping give it to him? Yin Baichuan told Chen Lang honestly not to ask, so as not to humiliate himself.
Because before coming, Emperor Liang set the rules that after Chen Lang went to Xu State, he must provide delicious food and drinks, and must not treat them unfairly, but he must not let Chen Lang own private property to prevent accidents.
This is depressing...
It seems that Emperor Liang is not a fool either. He is worried that Chen Lang will fight back, so he has already made arrangements. Although the probability of Chen Lang fighting back is almost non-existent.
Why!
If you don’t have money, what can Chen Lang use to counterattack? The probability that it almost didn’t exist was almost there, and if you don’t have money, it will definitely become a sure thing.
Chen Lang shook his head sadly, and then gently fiddled with the corner of his clothes. Seeing this, the little fish took a step forward and helped Chen Lang smooth out a wrinkle on his back.
The reason why Chen Lang paid attention to appearance today was because a young man named Ding Xu was coming to visit. I heard that Ding Xu's ancestor was from Xu, which brought him closer to Chen Lang.
Ding Xu's family is very rich, and Chen Lang is now penniless, so Chen Lang attaches importance to Ding Xu's visit. And Chen Lang has figured out that not only Ding Xu, but Chen Lang must pay attention to everyone who comes to visit the Prince's Mansion in the future.
If you can find friends who are worth working together, the so-called counterattack will be put on the agenda.
Reception room.
Chen Lang sat on a chair and closed his eyes to rest. He thought of the problem of money again. If he had no money, he could not recruit soldiers and even couldn't move forward. But how can he become rich? Rely on his gold fingers? Rely on his stones to turn into gold?
Suddenly, laughter came from my ears, it must be Ding Xu. Originally, Chen Lang wanted to learn from King Jing to greet the gate, but was stopped by Zhong Ping. Zhong Ping asked Chen Lang to maintain his temper, so there was no reason why the prince went to the gate to welcome the merchants.
Since I am not allowed to wait at the door of the mansion, I will wait at the head office at the entrance of the reception room.
So Chen Lang stood up and strided towards the door. He saw Zhong Ping leading the way for a 16 or 17-year-old young man. The young man was slender and looked weak.
He had a weak face and a weak stomach and a weak soles of his feet. Even the most important Ding Ding was weak, otherwise why did he name it Ding Xu?
Seeing Chen Lang, Ding Xu quickly accelerated his pace. As soon as he accelerated, the soles of his feet seemed to slip, which made people worried.
Uh ~
This is a little too empty.
"Young Master, can you?" Chen Lang asked from afar.
Ding Xu felt flattered, and his body staggered forward, almost pounced on Chen Lang. Fortunately, he held the door frame, otherwise the scene would be awkward.
Hehehehehehe~
The little fish in the living room saw it and covered her mouth and giggled.
"Mr. Ding's ancestor migrated from Liang State. I feel very honored to visit His Highness today." The young master in front of him leaned over.
"Come in and sit." Chen Lang turned his head and walked into the room.
Xiaoyu added tea to two porcelain cups, and Chen Lang and Ding Xu sat on the left and right. Ding Xu's face was not very good, and he walked in a hurry just now, so he looked even pale.
After swallowing a sip of tea in a hurry, Ding Xu asked respectfully: "Is Your Highness still used to Xu Guo's life?"
Chen Lang thought for a while before answering: "The diet, folk customs and living environment of Xu and Liang countries are similar, so there is no problem with habits. But..."
When he talked about this, Chen Lang deliberately paused for a moment, and then speeded up his speech: "It's just that I have no friends in Huaining. I'm usually bored and have no place to play."
The hint in the prince's words was already very obvious, and Ding Xu quickly continued: "Ding grew up in Huaining City since he was a child and is familiar with all aspects of Huaining. If Your Highness does not dislike you, Ding is willing to always be with Your Highness."
"Oh?" Chen Lang made a small statement, "Where do you live? If it is too far away, it will seem troublesome."
"Ding lives nearby. I wonder if Your Highness has ever seen Qianbaiwei Restaurant one mile away from the Prince's Mansion. The restaurant is the property of my father, and Ding lives in a small house next to the restaurant." Ding Xu said respectfully.
In fact, he lied a little because the place where he really lived was far away from the Prince's Mansion. However, Qianbaiwei Restaurant did belong to the Ding family, and the same was true for the house next to it. At this moment, Ding Xu had planned to move to that house to live.
"This is pretty good." Chen Lang nodded slightly.
After taking a sip of tea, the two continued to chat. About an hour later, Zhong Ping inexplicably went to the living room and swayed. Ding Xu immediately understood that Zhong Ping drove him away.
So Ding Xu blushed and took out an exquisite sachet from his pocket: "I heard that King Jing had invited Your Highness to play. If Your Highness would go, please give this sachet to the third princess Ai Xia."
Chapter completed!
