In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Bai Lu, a widow, started her own business with seven children and made her shop so popular. Not many people could do that.

......

King Cheng Lin Canghai and his men lost the first battle they fought.

They didn't expect that they would lose so completely.

"Who on earth is this person sent by Da Wu, and why is he so powerful?!"

"It seems to be a general named Shi."

Lord Dongfang listened to this, took a sip of tea, and looked grim, "Your Highness King Cheng should know this General Shi better...Pfft!"

The tea was so bitter that he almost vomited it.

He frowned and said to Master Jiang, "How did your tea get into my hands?!"

"How can I drink this bitter food?!"

His tone was very bad.

Master Jiang was really happy to hear this.

He was also full of anger, and now he had no place to vent it. Now he was really caught in the crossfire.

Mr. Jiang immediately said coldly: "You accidentally drank my tea, and you still blame me. Why? I am just a sandbag that can be easily pinched."

"Do you know how expensive this tea is? I see you are so poor, I don't care if you ask for some money for tea, that's already good enough!"

Lord Dongfang was furious, "Are you a punching bag that can be easily pinched? I think I am!"

"Everyone knows that you, Master Jiang, are becoming more and more arrogant every day. You even drink bitter tea."

"Why, you seem very capable, very elegant, and have the demeanor of a scholar."

"..."

When Master Jiang heard this, he sneered, "You're killing me. You know, I'm just a businessman. I can't compare to our Lord Dongfang, who is a clean official."

"At such a young age, he became the governor at the age of 40!"

"For a businessman like me, what's wrong with drinking some bitter tea? It just helps me to relieve the boredom in my life."

"A prefect like you, are you really going to mock a small wealthy businessman like me?!"

King Cheng, who was standing next to him, felt a headache. "Why are you two arguing again?!"

King Cheng glanced at Lord Dongfang, his face gloomy, "If you quarrel again, I'm afraid we will have an internal conflict."

"Master Dongfang."

Lord Dongfang received a look from King Cheng, a look that was quite meaningful and contained a deep warning.

He was silent for a moment and then stopped talking.

Because of my previous experience with the Longyang, they were not very welcoming to me and were afraid that I would fall in love with them.

But King Cheng is a man in his 40s, and Master Jiang is a sickly 20-year-old. He doesn't like either of them.

He still likes someone like Bai Qingze.

But unfortunately Bai Qingze is not nice to him.

But I didn't expect...that the two men started to be on guard against me, just like they were guarding against thieves.

They had a huge argument and left in a bad mood.

After that, they had no time to care about Bai Lu and ask Bai Lu for money to buy food and fodder.

They have enough money now, so they can buy food and other things with the money themselves. The focus now is on fighting.

So after spending the New Year in Liangzhou Prefecture, Bai Lu returned to Lianhua Town with the seven fairies and her eldest son Leng Bingnian.

But the three brothers of the Bai family were forced to stay here. If they did not stay, King Cheng would not allow it.

King Cheng meant that since Bai Lu had now completely persuaded the three brothers of the Bai family to surrender, there was nothing wrong with the three brothers of the Bai family staying here.

Even if they have a good relationship with Bailu and insist on going back with Bailu, that is not possible. So let them stay here and Bailu can go back by herself.

When the war is over, they will let the three brothers of the Bai family return to Lianhua Town.

The main reason why he did this was because the three brothers of the Bai family were people from the imperial court, and they were relatives of the queen after all.

If they were defeated at that time, they could let the three brothers of the Bai family come forward and use them to threaten the imperial court.

Even though Bai Lu and the three brothers of the Bai family knew what was going on, they were unable to stop King Cheng from doing so.

Or in other words, Bai Lu has no solution for the time being. As for whether the three brothers of the Bai family have a solution, Bai Lu doesn't know. Anyway, she feels that the three brothers of the Bai family are not as simple as they seem.

The Bai family has so many industries spread throughout Liangzhou Prefecture.

Maybe they also have secret connections that can help the three Bai brothers escape from trouble!

Bai Lu touched her chin. She didn't have time to think about those things. She planned to cooperate with Bai Qingze next. She wanted to monopolize all the rice shops in Liangzhou Prefecture and become the richest businessman in Liangzhou Prefecture.

But Bai Qingze probably couldn't eat so much. Bai Qingze must have had such an idea, and Bai Lu just talked to Bai Qingze about it.

Then tell Bai Qingze not to buy those rice shops.

In other words, he wanted to buy out all the rice shops in Liangzhou Prefecture and let Bai Qingze do nothing.

Bai Qingze couldn't monopolize so many rice shops anyway, so he might as well not try to do so. It would be useless to buy a few rice shops and it would only waste money.

That's what she thought.

Less than a month after returning to Lianhua Town, Bai Lu took care of the business of the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop and then made an appointment to meet Bai Qingze.

Bai Qingze also went to Liangzhou Prefecture and gave out all the red envelopes for the New Year. This time he met Bai Lu empty-handed.

Bai Qingze actually returned to Xiangshan Town when Bai Lu returned to Lianhua Town, but was sent back by the prince and his men.

When they met, they hadn't seen each other for a long time and even felt a little strange.

The two of them still met in the most familiar Tianxiang Tower, and still had the familiar food, eight-treasure duck, squirrel mandarin fish... and so on, a bunch of good things piled up.

It is worth mentioning that Bai Qingze treated Bai Lu very well. He prepared a table full of dishes, totaling thirty-six dishes, which was the most impressive Manchu-Han banquet of Tianxianglou.

It was much richer than when Bai Lu and Luo Niangzi came before.

But Bai Qingze did not specifically tell Bai Lu how much effort he put into telling the chefs how to prepare the dishes.

Afterwards, Bai Lu said with a smile: "Today we have a new dish, this eggplant stew with green onions... The taste is really strange."

“Scallions and eggplants are both very common ingredients, but the chef is able to cook them to this level, which is quite good.”

Bai Lu nodded with a smile.

Bai Qingze also smiled and said, "It's thanks to Lady Bai that you are enjoying the meal!"

"Recently, eggplant stewed with green onions is a new dish in our Tianxianglou."

"It's quite in line with the taste of the people in Xiangshan Town. I wonder what White Snake's taste is like, but it seems to be in line with it."

"Now the entire Tianxianglou relies on this eggplant dish to attract customers. I guess all the other restaurants in Xiangshan Town combined don't have half as many customers as Tianxianglou."
