The princess only wants to get rich and support her family
Chapter 80 What is Love in the World?
Since ancient times, princes have the right to dispose of any beauties bestowed by emperors.
Since we can't retreat, we can arrange new marriages for them. This will not only solve the current problem, but also allow the brothers to pair up. Perfect!
After making up his mind, Qi Si Liao left his wife behind and went out to face all the brothers, telling them what he had just decided, "Regarding the matter of those beauties coming to Menghu Mountain to seek refuge with me, I have already come up with a solution."
Except for Jiang Shi, all the brothers pricked up their ears and listened attentively.
"I have made my decision. I will let you choose for yourselves."
Brothers: "What do you want to pick?"
Qi Siliao remained calm and said calmly, "Pick a wife."
I thought everyone would be shocked, but I underestimated it.
The brothers all knelt down and clasped their fists to express their gratitude, but Jiang Ling didn't need to do that, as he already had Wen Ruoxue. In his opinion, one woman was enough to spend his life with, he couldn't afford more.
So, seeing that everyone accepted the order and thanked the emperor, Jiang Shi was the only one who was immersed in his little plan of hiding the milk and couldn't extricate himself. Jiang Ling kicked him and reminded him, "You should be old enough to get married, why don't you kneel down and thank the emperor?"
Jiang Shi disagreed, "Do you think I will get a share of the beauty the emperor bestows upon me?"
The exact number still needs to be recalculated. They only know that the beauties are on the way, but they have not yet found out how many people there are.
If the number is small and the older brothers don’t have enough to share, how can the younger ones get their turn?
It is better to have no hope in the early stage than to be disappointed in the end.
Jiang Shi was rarely sober, so he took an extra bottle of milk and ran away. By the time everyone reacted, his figure was nowhere to be seen.
"Alright, no matter how many beauties Qi Sili gives you, I promise you that if there is a suitable girl, I will arrange for you to see her first."
The brothers all gave thanks together, and the matter was over, which was considered a perfect solution.
After they left, Qi Siliao returned to the room. Hu Luanfei was unable to sleep due to the noise, so he leaned against the head of the bed and started drawing.
There were no printing presses in ancient times, so all advertisements had to be drawn by hand. The colors could not be monotonous, and the style could not be too old-fashioned or too gorgeous. Otherwise, not only would no one believe it, but the person might also be imprisoned as a swindler.
Thinking about going to Beiqiu tomorrow, she put down her pen before dawn and couldn't wait to get out of bed and put on her makeup.
Qi Si Liao lay in bed with his eyes open and was dazed for a while, then he got up and said, "Luan Fei, are you planning to reclaim the slope near the litchi orchard?"
"Open it, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, if you want to open it, I will invite people in two groups, one at the border of Tiger Mountain, and one near the litchi garden."
"Okay, it's up to you."
The late autumn in Menghu Mountain is only at its tail end. These past few days, it has either been gloomy or drizzling.
The streets of Beiqiu were wet with rain. Hu Luanfei got off the carriage and shook off the water droplets on his oil-paper umbrella.
Because of the rainy day, Zuihualou's business was slower than usual and not many people came and went.
He stamped his feet to avoid the vent where the cold wind was blowing in, stood on the stairs for a while, rubbed his frozen hands, and the owner of the Baihualou opposite happened to come out.
I've seen her several times before, but never as miserable as today.
During the few seconds when he looked at her indifferently, through the veil on her face and her exposed eyes, he could see that she looked much more tired, perhaps because of business. Her skin was dark yellow and her eye circles were dark. She was holding an umbrella and looking towards Zuihualou, and their eyes met.
"Hi, hello..." Hu Luanfei greeted her awkwardly. She thought there would be no response from her, but it turned out to be unnecessary worry. She nodded very politely as a response.
When she was about to get on the carriage, her foot slipped, the umbrella tilted, and the thick rain and mist got her a little wet.
Hu Luanfei quickly ran over to hold an umbrella for her, "Slow down, where are you going?"
"Thank you."
The rivalry between the two families disappeared in thin air the moment she stepped in to help.
The owner of Baihualou had a flash of sadness in his eyes that could not be ignored. He just smiled faintly and said, "Business has been bad recently. I'm thinking about going home."
While she was talking, she suddenly vomited. It didn't seem like she had caught a cold and her stomach was swollen, but more like she was pregnant.
As soon as he had this thought, Hu Luanfei felt that he was despicable. How could a grown girl get pregnant before marriage in such a feudal era? It was very likely that she had eaten something wrong.
"Why don't you come to our Zuihualou and sit for a while."
She glanced at Zuihualou and when she saw Qiu Xu standing inside, she immediately waved her hand and refused, "No need, I'm fine."
Although the two are competitors, they have never seriously invited each other to be their guests. Hu Luanfei really wants to take this opportunity to let the owner of Baihualou really get to know the skills of Zuihualou's chef.
As the rain got heavier that night, Hu Luanfei half-accepted and half-pushed and pulled, and finally pushed her into Zuihua Tower.
Guests are welcome. No matter how much Qiu Xu disliked her coming, he still enthusiastically made a pot of tea and placed it heavily on the table with a "dong".
When they met, they were like enemies. The man glared at her coldly, while the woman looked indifferent and ignored her.
Hu Luanfei didn't want to get involved in the feud between them. He smiled awkwardly and drove them away, "There are vegetables I grew on the carriage. Go ask Jiang Wu and the waiter to unload them."
Qiu Xu ignored him and said directly: "This kind of people are used to pretending to be pitiful. We can't take it lightly, otherwise we will suffer the consequences."
"Don't think of me as such a despicable person." Bai Huahua's face was indifferent. She stroked her lower abdomen and defended herself coldly.
Her facial features were very beautiful, but she had been overworked recently, so her skin was dark and yellow, and she looked very haggard.
Facing Qiu Xu's cold words, she only refuted coldly and never took her eyes off him.
Hu Luanfei stared at the two awkwardly, suddenly feeling like an outsider who couldn't get involved in their conversation. Just as he was about to speak to break the deadlock, Qiu Xu changed his usual pitiful look and replied in a deep voice: "I never thought you were mean, but you shouldn't think we are stupid either."
"You are the one who says all the good and bad things, and I never thought of it that way."
Seeing that the two were getting more and more angry, Hu Luanfei could no longer sit still. He stood up and pushed Qiu Xu, pushing him out of the door, and scolded him in a low voice: "She is a girl after all. Even if you don't like her, can't you pretend to be enthusiastic and entertain her?"
"Unforgivable." Qiu Xu looked at the rain falling from the sky, stretched out his hand to catch the rain curtain flowing down from the eaves, and fell into deep thought.
"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand."
"Outsiders don't need to understand. The feud between me and her started when I was a kid."
Childhood sweethearts...worth watching!
Hu Luanfei looked at Qiu Xu, then turned back to look at the owner of Baihualou, and suddenly remembered something, and suddenly pulled him back, "She just said she wanted to go home..."
"Her feet are on her body, so where she goes back to is none of my business."
