Chang 'an City, Border Guard Marquis's Residence.
Mu Chen did not know that the Tibetans had entered the palace.
They also didn't know that the Tibetans wanted to use the marriage alliance to threaten Li Er and the entire Great Tang.
"Brother Mu, I, Cheng Chumo, have never begged anyone in my life. Just give me some of those tomatoes and potatoes. If you really can't do it, you can ask me to plant them like this.”Cheng Chumo kept nagging.
Ever since Princess Changle left, this fellow had come to the marquis 'manor.
After tasting shredded potatoes and scrambled eggs with tomatoes last night, they were completely obsessed with these foods.
They were begging Mu Chen to give them some.
Mu Chen gently smiled." Big Brother Cheng, it's not that I don't want to give it to you. You also know that things are expensive. Although this thing is good, it's not easy to find!”
"Yes, yes, yes. I understand. Why don't we do this? I'll pay for it.”Cheng Chumo said.
Hearing this, Mu Chen's eyes flashed.""How much are you offering?"
"Uh, thirty taels of silver. How about you sell me a few potatoes and that red thing?”Cheng Chumo frowned and said after a long time.
"Thirty taels? You want to buy my potatoes and tomatoes? Big Brother Cheng, it's not that I don't want to talk about friendship, but we can't sell it at this price!”Mu Chen said.
In fact, in modern times, this thing was simply a common home-cooked dish.
Spending a few dollars could buy a lot.
But this was the Great Tang. Although things were not valuable, they were still valuable. The rarer they were, the more valuable they were.
Moreover, there were many ways to make potatoes.
Moreover, the nutritional value of tomatoes was relatively high.
The two dishes were made so that these people who had never eaten in their lives could taste the delicacies of the mountains and seas.
Therefore, Mu Chen decided to scam them.
"Then tell me, how much do you want?”Cheng Chumo gritted his teeth.
"One hundred taels, no bargaining!" Mu Chen raised a finger and said with a smile.
"Alright, 100 taels it is. Give me five potatoes and five tomatoes!”Cheng Chumo said and was about to take out the silver.
In the end, he was interrupted by Mu Chen.
"No, no, no, Big Brother Cheng, I think you might have misunderstood. It's not 100 taels for you, but 100 taels for one!”Mu Chen said.
"What is it? One hundred taels for one. Brother Mu, border guard marquis, are we still friends who have gone through life and death? You're actually selling it to me at such a high price? Why don't you go rob them!" Cheng Chumo said.
He had no choice but to negotiate with Mu Chen. If he wanted to spend money, he could buy it directly.
Otherwise, with his bandit personality, which he inherited from Cheng Sanfu, he would have already taken action.
Wasn't it because if they really fought, they simply couldn't beat Mu Chen?
" Hehe, Brother Cheng, it's because we have a life-and-death relationship that I'm selling them to you for 100 taels each. Otherwise, if it were someone else, it would cost at least 500 taels each. Think about it. Who in the entire Tang Empire has eaten scrambled eggs with tomatoes, let alone Chang 'an? And shredded potatoes? Right?" Mu Chen said with a smile.
Looking at him, Cheng Chumo hated him, but there was nothing he could do.
Just as Mu Chen had said, only Mu Chen had these things. There was really no place outside to buy them.
"It's a waste of your talent to be the Marquis. You should change your profession and become an underground merchant. I guarantee you'll make a fortune!”Cheng Chumo said as he took the silver.
"Hehe, what a pity. I did have this plan at first, but I'm versatile and have embarked on this path!”
"You're despicable and shameless!"
"Hahaha, Big Brother Cheng, if you dare to scold me again, let alone potatoes and tomatoes, I'll make sure you don't even see the skin of potatoes in this lifetime!”
Cheng Chumo:
Just as Mu Chen was teasing Cheng Chumo, he saw the entrance of the mansion.
Two beautiful figures flashed and headed straight for the backyard.
Ma Zhong had been following closely behind, looking very cautious. As he walked, he said something.
"Mu Chen, where are you? Come out for this princess!"
"Mu Chen, if you are a man, then come out. This princess has something to tell you!”
These two beautiful figures were none other than Princess Chang Le and her personal maid, Zhi Yun, who had once again run out of the palace.
As soon as they entered the manor, Princess Chang Le started shouting.
Many servants and servants in the manor came out to take a look.
At this moment, Mu Chen and Cheng Chumo, who were about to make a deal, frowned and turned around.
"Brother, why is Princess Chang Le here?" Cheng Chumo's face changed.”
"How would I know!" Mu Chen frowned.
While they were talking, Princess Chang Le had already arrived.
When she saw Mu Chen, she sized him up.
At this moment, Princess Chang Le had already changed back into her own female clothes. Compared to her male clothes from before, there was a world of difference.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Princess Chang Le's beautiful appearance was hard to find in the vast Chang 'an City.
Although she was only sixteen years old, her figure was already quite perfect, with distinct lines.
" I'm participating in Princess Chang Le!" Cheng Chumo bowed.
"Mu Chen, this princess is asking you, are you a man?”Princess Chang Le completely ignored Cheng Chu Mo and directly scolded Mu Chen.
Mu Chen sneered.”
"Alright then, this princess is asking you, do you dare to marry me?”
Puff!
Hearing this, Mu Chen almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
What was going on? She asked him if he dared to marry her?
Could it be that it was really as Mu Xi 'er and Ma Zhong had said? In ancient times, once a man and a woman had physical contact, they had to get married. Otherwise,
However, wasn't Princess Chang Le asking too directly?
Mu Chen was stunned on the spot and did not reply for a long time.
Seeing this, Princess Chang Le became even more anxious."What? As the princess, is this princess not worthy of a mere Marquis like you? Give me a straight answer. Are you going to marry her or not?”
"How about marrying her? So what if I don't marry her?" Mu Chen asked.
Hearing this, Princess Chang Le was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Before she could speak, Zhiyun, who was beside her, spoke first.
"Lord Marquis, please agree to marry our princess. Otherwise, our princess will have to marry down to Tubo!”
"Hmm? What was going on? What does marrying her have to do with Tibet?”Mu Chen was also stunned.
Therefore, Zhiyun told him everything she knew about the Tubo people entering the palace.
