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

Then break off the engagement.

This person is actually quite responsible.

Bai Qingze is a nice person.

Bai Qingze then said to Bai Lu with a smile.

"How is it? Do you admire me very much?"

"I really admire you."

"Since you admire me so much, then you should marry me."

Bai Qingze blurted out.

"Now I am a person with a bad reputation, and you are a person with an equally bad reputation."

"Let's just get together."

"???"

"!!!"

Bai Lu was furious, "Why did my reputation become ruined?!"

"It's because you collaborated with the enemy and committed treason! The people of Liangzhou Prefecture are secretly complaining about it! Many scholars are now scolding you, don't you know that?"

He laughed loudly, but did not mention that Bai Lu was a widow.

Bai Lu looked at Bai Qingze's face and smiled slowly: "...You, you are such an interesting businessman."

“You are also a very interesting businessman.”

They both raised their glasses to the table at the same time and clinked them together.

The two famous and rapidly rising figures in Liangzhou Prefecture became close friends at the same moment.

Since then, Bai Lu and Bai Qingze have become closer.

Because Bai Lu discovered that although Bai Qingze seemed to be nonchalant on the surface, he actually did what he said and had noble character. He was not like the average businessman who was obsessed with money.

He also has his own principles.

The reason why he married this beautiful concubine was due to force majeure.

Bai Qingze didn't mean to do this.

Bai Qingze was only forced to make the choice due to the circumstances. He was decisive and ruthless, but he was not a truly profit-driven villain.

Of course, Bai Lu felt that Bai Qingze was just a friend and confidant to her, nothing else.

She has no interest in any man, but others may not feel that way.

Bai Lu and Bai Qingze have become much closer, and have had a lot of business dealings recently.

Bai Lu wanted to monopolize the rice shops in Liangzhou Prefecture. Bai Qingze even sold his own rice shop directly to Bai Lu. Her only request was to exchange rice for the rice shop instead of silver.

Nowadays, trading rice in Liangzhou Prefecture is quite cost-effective, so Bai Qingze agreed.

So Bai Qingze planned to set up a few rice shops and sell some rice.

There was no use for the remaining rice, so the shop might as well sell it all to Bai Lu as a favor, and it wouldn't have to pay any compensation.

The price Bai Lu gave was quite fair.

Bai Lu is a person with a conscience and she is fair in everything she does, so Bai Qingze is quite relieved.

Business has been extra busy lately.

But in the eyes of others, Bai Lu and Bai Qingze are close to each other when they do business, and they are even closer when they have nothing to do, eating and drinking together.

Gu Liang and Zhao Cuicui were the first to get restless.

Zhao Cuicui now regrets very much, ever since she refuted Gu Liang last time, saying that he shouldn't get too close to Bai Lu and shouldn't like Bai Lu.

Then, Bai Lu and Gu Liang were basically in a stalemate.

After Bailu, there was no more help for their family, and they no longer provided milk tea to the Seven Fairies Milk Tea Shop, nor did they let Gu Liang go over to help.

If there was anything, he would ask other servants to help. Even if he asked the village chief to ask his son to help, he would not let Gu Liang help.

Bai Lu has been very good to them for such a long time, and Gu Liang’s current achievements are all thanks to Bai Lu. If it weren’t for Bai Lu, Gu Liang might not be able to continue his studies now.

Even if Gu Liang is good at studying, is it okay without money? !

Who paid for the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone? Who bought the clothes?

In other words, if it weren't for Bai Lu, they would probably have frozen to death in that small, shabby house.

How can we still have such good days as today?!

There are so many benefits now that she has forgotten her roots.

Zhao Cuicui must have regretted it in her heart, but what can she do now that it has been done? !

Although Zhao Cuicui felt that she was wrong, she didn't think she should change.

Now she hopes that Gu Liang will seek fame and marry a very good woman, rather than marrying Bai Lu.

Now, they can be said to have food and clothing to enjoy, so Zhao Cuicui thinks Gu Liang is not bad. She is also good at doing business and has saved some money. It is enough for him to study and marry a real noble lady when the time comes, which will be wonderful.

They have become better people now, so whether they have a good relationship with Bai Lu or not...it doesn't matter.

So she has been making a fuss at home recently and has been arguing with Gu Liang.

She knew that Gu Liang liked Bai Lu, and she didn't want Gu Liang to have any relationship with Bai Lu.

So she started to make trouble for Gu Liang so much that he had no time to care about Bai Lu.

Gu Liang didn't understand Zhao Cuicui's intention at first. He was too naive now. What's more, he was still immersed in the bad relationship with Bai Lu and couldn't come back to his senses. So he was controlled by Zhao Cuicui for a while.

Later, Gu Liang realized that Zhao Cuicui had no good intentions.

What does Zhao Cuicui mean? She keeps arguing with me and asks me not to see Bai Lu.

I was so busy arguing with her that I have become estranged from Bai Lu recently. When I came to my senses, Bai Lu was already being affectionate with Bai Qingze.

Gu Liang felt so upset.

In addition, they didn't spend this Chinese New Year together.

In the past two years, they have spent the New Year together if they had the chance.

He felt even worse.

Gu Liang thought that compared to Bai Qingze, he did not have as much money, and he always seemed to be one step behind them, but he studied very hard.

I heard from people in the academy that if I work hard, I will definitely pass the exam and may even be among the top three in the imperial examination.

Although it is difficult to get the first, second and third place in the imperial examination, there is still no problem in passing the imperial examination. If the first place is not enough, there is still the second place.

He is good at studying, and Bai Lu herself is not short of money, maybe she will like a scholar? ! Gu Liang thought that his conditions were not bad.

Although he is not worthy of Bai Lu at the moment, he may be worthy of Bai Lu after he finishes his civil service exams.

Gu Liang felt extremely sad. He must study hard, otherwise he would not be worthy of Bai Lu.
