The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Chapter 112 Sweet or Salty Sister Yan'er

The contrast between Chu Yan'er's expression before and after made him a little dazed, but a different feeling also arose in his heart. Only in front of him would Chu Yan'er behave so gently.

He saw the annoyance in Chu Yan'er's eyes. She must be very angry because the Chu brothers had made her lose her image just now.

"Miss Yan'er, I have brought the gift I promised you. However, I see that you are frowning. Have you encountered any difficulties?" Jiang Fan smiled and said to Chu Yan'er.

Chu Yan'er was hesitant to speak after hearing this. She seemed not to want to say anything. But Chu Xiaoya beside her quickly said:

"Your Highness, Tu Sili and his men just now withheld the relief grain and resold most of it. The victims have no food to eat. They also embezzled the money for the stone materials for building the river embankment. Now, there is a shortage of stone materials for building the river embankment. I'm afraid this section of the river embankment cannot be built for a while..."

Chu Xiaoya told Chu Yan'er everything about her current situation. Chu Yan'er wanted to stop her, but finally sighed.

After hearing Chu Xiaoya's narration, Jiang Fan understood Chu Yan'er's current situation.

Her resettlement strategy was actually successful. As long as food was used sparingly, the 50,000 disaster victims who were building the river embankment could survive until the autumn harvest next year.

It not only ensures the construction of river embankments, but also guarantees the livelihood of the people.

However, the problem lies with the clerk Tu. This man is so bold that he even embezzled the relief grain and money for buying stones. Now not only is there not enough food, but even the river embankment cannot be built anymore.

Although the embezzled money can be recovered, the problem is that there are tens of thousands of disaster victims waiting for food on the river bank, and they cannot wait that long. If they are not careful, they may starve to death.

No wonder Chu Yan'er didn't want to tell Jiang Fan about this. With her proud personality, this should have been her business.

In fact, she and Jiang Fan are still in a gambling relationship now.

After this matter was revealed, regardless of whether Jiang Fan would help her, even if he did, she would find it hard to accept.

After all, Jiang Fan is still being criticized for supporting the people.

If Jiang Fan paid money to help her solve this problem, she would have completed all three tasks, but Jiang Fan had not solved the problem of supporting the people.

The problem was her own, and she didn't want Jiang Fan to clean up the mess for her. The main reason was that she was worried that Jiang Fan would lose because he helped her.

Come to think of it, it was also her fault for failing to supervise properly that this happened, and she also had to take responsibility for it. However, when she thought about the possibility that the people might suffer, she felt sad and blamed herself.

"Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, ask them to bring the cement over and demonstrate it to Miss Yan'er!" Jiang Fan smiled when he heard it and said to the Chu brothers.

Upon hearing this, the two brothers looked at each other and quickly called on their white-robed guards to start working.

Chu Yan'er looked at Jiang Fan in surprise, not knowing what he wanted to do. But she did not ask, just watched quietly.

Soon, cement was brought over, mixed with river sand, and people began to build a square platform with stones.

Several people worked together, and in the blink of an eye, a square stone platform was successfully built.

Jiang Fan smiled and said to Chu Yan'er, "Miss Yan'er, this thing I brought is called cement. It has a strong adhesive property. Mix it with river sand and pour it. Once it solidifies, it will be difficult for human power to smash it, let alone a flood!"

"With this thing, even if there are no shaped stones, it is still easy to build the river bank, and it saves time and labor. By the way, it will take some time for the cement to solidify. Miss Yan'er, why don't you come and see the gift I brought you? I believe you will like it."

Having said that, Jiang Fan made a gesture of invitation to Chu Yan'er, and brought the puzzled Chu Yan'er to the open space next to them.

He opened the box in front of him, revealing a mirror, perfume, soap, some glass beads, small animals, etc.

Chu Yan'er was stunned when she saw those beautiful glass products, especially the mirrors. Chu Xiaoya and Chu Xiaolan, who were standing beside her, had stars in their beautiful big eyes after seeing what was inside.

Such an exquisite and beautiful gift would definitely make a woman dazzled at first sight.

Chu Yan'er picked up a glass mirror, looked at the exquisite frame, then looked at the shiny mirror, and the woman reflected clearly in it. She looked at Jiang Fan in shock.

The appearance of these things shocked her completely. Any one of them could be described as a priceless treasure, especially the bottles, mirrors, colorful beads and small animals made of colored glass.

Even the glassware tributed by foreign countries was not as good as the ones in Jiang Fan's hands.

Seeing Chu Yan'er's inquiring look, Jiang Fan smiled and said, "The cement we used just now was made from stones that I sent people to dig and burn. The mirror in your hand was made from river sand. As for the thing in the bottle, it is perfume, which is made from blood and wine. And this soap is made from picked soapberries. And..."

Jiang Fan explained to Chu Yan'er the origin of each product one by one, even the coal briquettes, sulfur, and the fireworks. He even had someone bring fireworks and firecrackers.

Then, he had people set off firecrackers and fireworks. Although it was daytime, the beautiful scene of the fireworks still made Chu Yan'er's eyes sparkle.

At this time, Chu Yan'er and the other three women understood that Jiang Fan was not just providing for the people, but that what he did indeed had other deeper meanings.

By now, she knew that Jiang Fan had once again created a miracle with his wisdom, and Chu Yan'er no longer needed to worry about Jiang Fan providing for the people.

He is not providing for the people at all; he is clearly creating wealth together with the people.

When everything was settled, Chu Yan'er turned to look at Jiang Fan, her eyes were already filled with deep affection, that scorching gaze almost melted Jiang Fan.

She is a woman who dares to love and hate. The gift Jiang Fan gave her completely captured her body and mind. At this moment, she only wanted to express the deep love in her heart.

"Thank you... Your Highness, Yan'er likes your gift very much..." She said to Jiang Fan shyly. At this point, she turned her gaze away, not daring to look at Jiang Fan.

Although she dares to love and hate, she still has the shyness and reserve of a girl.

Jiang Fan looked at the shy Chu Yan'er, lost in thought for a moment, his heart was beating wildly for no reason, and his heart was also hot and beating wildly. Such a beautiful woman's kindness made him intoxicated and obsessed.

At this time, Chu Yan'er seemed to have thought of something, turned to look at Jiang Fan, and said with a bright look in her eyes:

"Your Highness, these goods should have been delivered to the capital, right? Have they started to be sold? You win the bet between us!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan looked at Chu Yan'er in surprise, and felt admiration in his heart. This woman was extremely smart. She thought of this so quickly.
