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

Listening to her description, the Queen Mother and Pei Huizhou both stared at Bai Lu with wide eyes.

The Queen Mother couldn't help smacking her lips and said, "...it still has to be our White Lady."

"I thought you were pure and simple before, but now I realize... you are picky."

"You didn't pick any of the other candidates before, but now you're attracted to Pei Huizhou because he looks good."

"Since you like him, I will give him to you as your gigolo."

"???"

Pei Huizhou next to him was confused.

Its face was as livid as a ghost. "Her Majesty the Queen Mother, please respect yourself. Lady Bai, please respect yourself too! We didn't do anything just now. There is nothing between us!!!"

"Okay, okay, I believe in you, I believe in you!"

The Queen Mother chuckled, and the seven children below turned their heads to look at Pei Huizhou with their big round eyes.

Yi Yue pointed at Pei Huizhou and said to Bai Lu in a soft voice, "Mother, is this the stepfather you found for us?"

"?"

A question mark appeared above Pei Huizhou's head.

Er Yue pointed at Pei Huizhou and said obediently, "Mom, this uncle is quite good-looking."

Sanyue rolled her eyes and smiled at Pei Huizhou, "If this uncle comes to our house, he has to give us some money and red envelopes."

April also nodded, smiling slyly: "Yes, yes, if he wants to be a stepfather, he has to give us a red envelope, and it has to be a big one."

"All seven of us must have one, and all of us little brothers must have one too! We can't be partial to one and ignore the other."

Wu Yue was also happy. She stretched out her hand and immediately said to Pei Huizhou: "Uncle... You should know that Uncle Shen and Uncle Gu gave us one thousand taels of silver each before. I wonder how much silver you want to give us, uncle?"

Liu Yue also looked at Pei Huizhou eagerly: "Yes, yes, if you give us more money, we can also speak well of you to mother."

Seeing her sisters say so, Qiyue couldn't help but laugh. Little Qiyue said to Bailu, "Mom, let me check for you. If he gives us too little red envelope, then this uncle... can't be trusted for life."

"..."

Pei Huizhou was stunned when he heard what they said. He didn't expect that Bai Lu's daughters were so smart and wanted him to give them red envelopes.

Pei Huizhou's face was dark, but several children had already reached out their hands at this moment, and his previous character setting was to pursue Bai Lu...

Pei Huizhou took a deep breath, then took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the oldest one, Xiao Yiyue. He said to Yiyue, "I came here in a hurry and didn't bring much silver. This jade pendant was given by His Majesty. If I pawn it at a pawn shop, it will be worth at least two thousand taels of silver."

"Besides, since His Majesty has given me this, its value can naturally be multiplied tenfold. If I sell it, it won't be a problem to get 100,000 or 20,000 taels of silver. You guys can take it."

A royal gift?

The seven little moons were a little confused, and they quickly turned their heads to look at Bai Lu.

Although the children are not very sensible now and are only five or six years old, they all know that in Dawu, if something is a gift from the emperor, it cannot be pawned casually, and His Majesty will hold them accountable.

But Pei Huizhou's attitude made Bai Lu a little confused.

The Queen Mother was not surprised to see Pei Huizhou like this. She immediately smiled and said, "Although it is forbidden to pawn the things given by the Emperor, it depends on who is doing the pawning."

"If Pei Huizhou goes to sell it, the emperor won't say anything."

"Since the emperor gave this jade pendant to Pei Huizhou, and Pei Huizhou gave it to the seven little moons, let them take it and sell it later."

Hearing this, Bai Lu nodded and smiled: "It seems that the relationship between Lord Pei and His Majesty is really special."

"Of course I must. I am the most important minister under the Emperor."

Pei Huizhou remained calm, "Do you think what I told you before was nonsense? Huh?"

Looking at his appearance now, it really doesn't seem like that. If he was the emperor's closest minister, why did he always stay by his side and stay in Qingzhou?

This person has been following me around all the time, and it gives me a headache just thinking about it.

Bai Lu rubbed her head, took a deep breath, and said to Pei Huizhou: "Okay, thank you, Master Pei."

"Master Pei, I am here to make it clear to you that I have nothing to do with you, and I don't like you either."

"As for whether you like me or not...even though you pretend to be like that, you know the truth in your heart."

"We have arrived in Qingzhou, so let's say goodbye now."

Hearing this, Pei Huizhou raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

It was only then that the little moons realized that Pei Huizhou didn't like Bai Lu, and that Bai Lu didn't say anything just now because she wanted to trick Pei Huizhou.

It seems that Pei Huizhou has a purpose for following his mother. They were right. They felt that something was wrong with Pei Huizhou just now.

The children and the Queen Mother immediately pushed Pei Huizhou aside and were unwilling to say anything to him.

Qingzhou, it only takes three days to get there.

Three horse-drawn carriages drove into Qingzhou.

Bai Lu, the Queen Mother, Madam Luo, and seven other girls lived in two cars, which was a little crowded.

However, this carriage was specially made by the Bai family and was widened. The bed inside was very large, and at night the seats on both sides could be folded down to make a bed. In other words, all the space in the carriage was a bed, and you could just lie down on it.

The bed is soft and comfortable, and the bedding is very thick, so you won’t be cold on the road. If it is windy in winter, you can take the pillow to the window and block it completely.

Shen Congyun and several other boys lived in one room.

The journey was indeed tiring, but fortunately it was only three days.

At this moment they were in a county in Qingzhou, not in Qingzhou Prefecture - Hua County.

Bai Lu observed the terrain around her and thought that she should start from here and think about what kind of store would be best to open nearby.

If this place is closer to the Western Regions, then it would be suitable to open the Bai Family Treasure Pavilion to exchange pearls and some goods from the Western Regions.

If none of them are suitable, you can open the most basic Seven Fairies milk tea shop here.

As for Baijia Rice Shop...

If Bai Lu wants to open the Baijia Rice Shop, she needs to inform the Qingzhou prefect. If she doesn't inform the Qingzhou prefect, then if she opens a large number of Baijia Rice Shops, she will be called in for a talk by the Qingzhou prefect.

This is not a joke.

Now that they have finally arrived in Hua County, Bai Lu said to Pei Huizhou:
