Chapter 481: Loss of Money
Liu Gaozhong's cheeks seemed to have been kissed by the setting sun, and were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out.
He wiped it across his forehead in a panic, but could only wipe away the innocent air, while the corners of his mouth seemed to be pulled by a kite string, twitching with a sense of rhythm.
Liu Yaoyao's eye-rolling skill was fully activated, reaching the sky, and she muttered in her heart:
It is obvious that these two veteran actors are going to stage a big drama of "escaping from the shell and pocketing the silver"!
Maybe they want to make a huge demand and slaughter them like fat sheep.
At this time, Li Ergou, who called himself "the wise man of the Beggars' Gang", looked like he was watching the fun and was almost getting a stitch in the side laughing, and he didn't forget to add fuel to the fire.
"Haha, Uncle Liu, your expression management is amazing! Our journey is even more exciting than the face-changing on the stage, and we even saved the ticket price!"
Liu Gaozhong almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and quickly spoke seriously.
"Ergou, stop making trouble here. I, your uncle Liu, am afraid that when we get to the palace, the guards will see how we are dressed and think we are wearing beggars' clothes. How embarrassing that would be, wouldn't it?"
As he spoke, his eyes were very subtle.
As if to say, "You understand, right?"
But in fact, his eyes were like searchlights, staring straight at Liu Yaoyao and Ling Chenyu.
It was obviously a hint to make "silver rain" on Ling Chenyu.
Ling Chenyu, with an expression that said "I understand, but I won't say it", glanced at this group of "acting masters" and winked at Leng Feng behind him.
Leng Feng, the loyal little follower, immediately understood what he meant and took out a heavy purse from his arms. The purse shone with an alluring light in the sun.
"Ahem, everyone, please make yourselves at ease. After you have finished your business, go to the palace gate and mention my name, and someone will be waiting to greet you."
After Ling Chenyu finished speaking, he left behind a dashing back and got into the carriage without looking back, leaving behind a long string of horse hoof sounds and a group of people staring in amazement.
Liu Gaozhong grabbed the purse with such skill that he could be compared to a dog catching a frisbee.
She even secretly weighed it, and a smile brighter than a flower instantly blossomed on her face, and she almost got crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
Liao Rong shouted a few times unwillingly, but when he saw his wife's smug look, he immediately backed down.
He retreated behind his wife and asked in a low voice, "My dear, how much silver is in that purse?"
Liu Gaozhong smiled mysteriously, leaned close to Liao Rong's ear, and spoke in a voice that only she could hear.
"Hehe, it's enough for the two of us to open a 'Liu Ji snack stand' in front of the palace!"
After saying this, the couple smiled at each other. In that smile, there was a mixture of secret joy for the wealth that was about to come, and a hidden pride for this "acting award".
Liao Rong's eyes instantly widened larger than copper bells, and his mouth opened wide enough to fit an egg.
She murmured in disbelief, "So many? We're going to get rich!"
After saying this, he looked around carefully, fearing that someone might have heard him.
Liu Gaozhong patted his chest proudly, as if to say "Don't worry, I'll do the job."
He whispered, "Of course, don't you see who I am? This prince and princess, even though they usually look so high and mighty, in public, if they plan properly, shouldn't they obey?"
Li Ergou pouted as he listened, thinking to himself:
These two old foxes have great acting skills. They obviously want the money, but they act as if others owe them something.
However, he did not expose it. After all, there was fun to watch and money to be made, so why not do it?
After Ling Chenyu's car left, Liao Rong and Liu Gaozhong led a group of "beggars" towards the garment shop.
Liu Gaozhong and Liao Rong walked in front, their faces filled with joy that the "emancipated serfs will soon sing", while Ergou and other beggars followed behind, with a bit of flattery and contempt on their faces.
The moment Liu Gaozhong and Liao Rong stepped into the garment shop, the whole shop seemed to come alive with their arrival.
The sunlight filtered through the window lattices, dappling onto all kinds of silks and cloths, contrasting with the smiles on the faces of the old couple.
"My dear, what do you think of this one?"
Liu Gaozhong pointed to a dark blue robe, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Liao Rong walked over, looked at it carefully, then shook his head with extreme disgust.
"The color is too old-fashioned. I'll look like an old scholar when I wear it. We're going to the palace, so we have to choose something youthful."
Liu Gaozhong took out another trendy short-sleeved shirt and excitedly showed it to Liao Rong.
"How about this one? Is this one trendy enough?"
Liao Rong took the T-shirt, looked left and right, and finally shook his head.
"It's trendy, but it's too avant-garde. If we put it on at our age, people will think we are old naughty kids from nowhere."
In this way, Liu Gaozhong and Liao Rong shuttled back and forth in the garment shop.
They picked up this one to try on, then put that one down to look at it, being so picky as if they were not here to buy clothes but to choose a concubine.
In their eyes, every piece of clothing has something unsatisfactory, either the color is wrong, the style is not suitable, or the material is not high-quality enough.
Li Ergou watched from the side and shook his head, muttering to himself.
"These two old guys are really going backwards as they get older. They are so picky.
But having said that, once you put this dress on, you really do have a bit of aristocratic style.
Look at Liu Gaozhong. Putting on that golden brocade robe, he becomes full of energy, as if he has suddenly become twenty years younger.
Looking at Liao Rong again, the lavender dress she wore made her look even more dignified and elegant. She didn’t look like an old country lady at all.”
Li Ergou couldn't help but interrupt.
"Uncle Liu, Aunt Liao, please stop being so picky. Which piece of clothing in this clothing store is not carefully selected? If you keep on picking like this, I'm afraid it will be dark by then."
After hearing what Li Ergou said, Liu Gaozhong and Liao Rong smiled triumphantly and finally stopped what they were doing.
Li Ergou was right. If we continue to be picky like this, it would probably really waste time.
They carefully selected and finally settled on a set of clothes that was both suitable for their age and looked noble.
When Liu Gaozhong and Liao Rong put on new clothes, the whole garment shop lit up.
They seemed to be reborn, instantly transforming from an ordinary old country couple into an aristocratic couple with extraordinary temperament.
Li Ergou looked at the changes in front of him and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Look, this is the true meaning of 'clothes make the man'!"
After getting dressed, the group headed towards the palace in a mighty procession.
Along the way, Liu Gaozhong and Liao Rong were so arrogant, as if they were really the aristocrats in the palace.
Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao prayed silently in their hearts:
I hope that this "Palace Adventure" caused by a misunderstanding can end smoothly without any more trouble.
As for Li Ergou, he was very excited and thought:
This trip to the palace not only allows me to watch the fun, but also broadens my horizons. It’s really worth it!
When they arrived at the palace gate, the sunlight was shining on the golden glazed tiles, shining brightly.
It seemed as if even the air was filled with a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.
Liu Gaozhong and Liao Rong stood in front of the door and couldn't help holding their breath. There was both anticipation and nervousness in their eyes, as if they were about to step into an unknown world.
"My dear, do you think this is a 'leap over the dragon'?"
Liu Gaozhong asked Liao Rong in a low voice, with a bit of nervousness and excitement on his face.
Liao Rong rolled his eyes at him, but couldn't help but smile.
"Look at you. We are going to the palace, not the execution ground. What are you afraid of?"
Ergou was listening at the side and couldn't help but smile at each other, secretly sighing in his heart:
These two old naughty boys are really a pair of funny people. They can even create so much drama when they go to the palace.
Following Ling Chenyu's instructions, they came to the palace gate and reported Ling Chenyu's name.
After a while, a guard dressed in gorgeous palace clothes came over and respectfully asked them to follow him.
Along the way, Liu Gaozhong and Liao Rong looked around like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and were curious about everything in the palace.
Sometimes they marveled at the grandeur of the palace, sometimes they praised the exotic flowers and plants in the garden, as if they wanted to take it all in and engrave it all in their hearts.
"My dear, look at that flower. Isn't it more beautiful than the peony at Old Wang's house at the end of our village?"
Liu Gaozhong pointed to a peony not far away, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Liao Rong rolled his eyes at him, but a smile remained on his lips.
"Look at you, you don't know the world. How can the flowers in the palace compare to those in our village?"
Ling Chenyu and Liu Yaoyao were in the hall and could hear their conversation. They felt it was humiliating.
They watched calmly as the two men walked triumphantly into the palace.
