Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

After watching the excitement, Jiang Jiu took Madam Qian to his own rouge shop.

The rouge she developed was delicate and soft, and was loved by young girls and wives as soon as it was launched on the market.

Hearing that they were from Xiang County, the customers secretly inquired about the two top courtesans in Hua Manlou.

Sure enough, the performances of Nishang and Chuyu at the Ninth Prince's Mansion received unanimous praise, and everyone naturally wanted to witness the charm of the two beauties further.

As more and more people spread the news, even women became curious.

Pianjiangjiu did not leak any information to anyone, maintaining a certain degree of mystery, so that more people would go to Huamanlou on the opening day.

But I still heard discordant sounds in the rouge shop.

"Tsk, this shop is newly opened and hasn't even joined the Su City Chamber of Commerce. I don't know if it's any good. This is something you're going to use on your face, so you better be careful."

Several customers were turned away with just one sentence.

Jiao Niang quickly explained: "We are from Xiang County. If you have relatives or friends who know whether we are good or not, please feel free to ask. As for joining the Chamber of Commerce, we have just arrived. As long as the Chamber of Commerce knows that we are of good quality, they will definitely join."

The woman snorted coldly: "Not everyone can enter the Sucheng Chamber of Commerce. At least you have to be favored by the Qiwang Mansion. There are no women in the Qiwang Mansion. It's really hard for your Rouge to get in."

The Chamber of Commerce is a business organization. Many business people are trying their best to join it. Firstly, with the support of the Chamber of Commerce, everyone recognizes the quality.

Secondly, even if the prices of items in the Chamber of Commerce are a bit higher, everyone can accept it.

Thirdly, doing business in the Chamber of Commerce is guaranteed. At least local taxes are exempted, and you only need to pay taxes to the King of Qi.

Others find it difficult when they hear it.

Nanny Qian raised her eyebrows proudly at Jiang Jiu.

"Miss, with Mr. Lu's relationship, we will be able to walk sideways after we enter the Chamber of Commerce."

Jiang Jiu looked embarrassed. "Madam, the relationship is obscure. It's better for us not to trouble my husband. Joining the Chamber of Commerce is just a small matter. If I have to rely on him for everything, I will feel that I am incompetent. I can't even handle such a small matter. How can I avenge my mother in the capital in the future?"

Lu Yunyang and the Ninth Prince have that kind of relationship, which is private and cannot be disclosed publicly.

Madam Qian agreed: "Okay, then go to the Chamber of Commerce first. If you really encounter difficulties, it won't be too late to go find Master Lu."

The master and servant talked as they walked. Since they were not far away and they were staying at the Ninth Prince's house, they didn't have a carriage.

As they walked, Jiang Jiu stopped and pulled Aunt Qian to a grocery stall.

"Mammy, someone is following us..."

Nanny Qian looked around hurriedly but didn't find anything unusual.

Jiang Jiu, however, had a cunning plan: "Mammy, go get a stick and wait for me at the other end of the alley. If I cry for help, come and save me immediately..."

Aunt Qian's heart skipped a beat: "Miss, I hope everything is OK."

Jiang Jiu shook his head: "How could it be? Su City is governed quite well by the King of Qi, but there are some people who take advantage of their power and like to act like a spoiled brat. Besides, the King's Palace is just ahead. I'm really at a disadvantage. Shouldn't I just run away..."

Nanny Qian didn't notice anything unusual, but she still listened to Jiang Jiu, went to the alley over there, picked up a sturdy stick and held it in her hand.

Jiang Jiu took out three copper coins and bought a sachet, which he swung as he walked, looking very contented.

Sure enough, when they reached the middle of the alley, they were blocked by a group of men.

"Oh, you look unfamiliar, have you just arrived in Su City? You are so pretty, come and play with me, young master."

Jiang Jiu was calm and composed, with a smile on his face, and refused coldly: "No."

The man snorted coldly: "I am the second son of the prefect. If you follow me, you can walk around Su City with impunity..."

Jiang Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"I am Lu Yunyang's wife..."

"Lu Yunyang? The playboy from the Lu family?"

"Sir, others compare you to him. They say that apart from your higher status, you are not even a third as pretty as the one surnamed Lu."

"Sir, forget it. The one with the surname Lu is a guest of the King of Qi..."

As expected, when Lu Yunyang's name was mentioned, these people became a little afraid.

The second son of the prefectural governor was unconvinced: "He's just a country bumpkin. If his wife becomes my concubine, it will prove that I'm better than him. It will be a great shame for him...hahahaha."

As soon as he finished speaking, he said with a cold face, "Everyone, come on, capture her and carry her back to the mansion."

A group of men surrounded Jiang Jiu.

But before Jiang Jiu could make a move, suddenly, a fan came through like a sharp sword, circled directly in front of these people, and finally returned accurately to the owner's hand.

"Mr. Xing, how are you?"

Jiang Jiu slowly turned around and found that it was Gu Chengyan. He was obviously a weak scholar, but he didn't expect that his kung fu was so amazing.

As expected, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.

"Gu, Mr. Gu, why are you here?" The second son of the prefect was a little panicked.

Gu Chengyan leisurely walked to Jiang Jiu's side and waved his fan leisurely.

"Let's go back. This alley is closest to the palace. Let's take a shortcut."

"I didn't mean to disturb the Second Young Master's pleasure. It's just unfortunate that this lady is a distinguished guest of the palace..."

Gu Chengyan is the Ninth Prince's man. Even if he is just an aide, he is not someone a small prefect like him can afford to offend.

Soon, Mr. Xing II and his men ran away in disgrace.

Gu Chengyan made a gesture of invitation towards Jiang Jiu: "Madam, please come in."

Jiang Jiu bowed to Gu Chengyan and said, "Thank you for your help, sir."

Gu Chengyan remained very humble, his deep eyes swept across her face and he smiled.

"Just passing by. Besides, even if I can't get off, I'm sure Madam has thought of a solution..."

Jiang Jiu chuckled softly, "I just wanted to teach him a lesson. He's such a scoundrel, and he's actually the son of a prefect. He's really neglected in his upbringing."

Gu Chengyan raised his eyebrows and agreed: "Yes, he neglected discipline and brought disaster to many decent girls. Fortunately, the prefect is upright..."

It seems that the Ninth Prince relies heavily on this prefect.

Jiang Jiu didn't say anything else. The two walked side by side. But when they were about to enter the palace, Jiang Jiu stopped and frowned slightly.

"Mammy, go ask if the prince is still in my husband's room?"

"Husband?" Gu Chengyan's eyebrows twitched, and he looked at Jiang Jiu with a meaningful look, "Have you reconciled with the young master? Are you not getting divorced anymore?"

Jiang Jiu felt a little embarrassed. It seemed that they had told a lot of secrets when they were drinking that time.

No wonder, Gu Chengyan is a smart man and he could hear the two people's private matters in just a few words.

"My husband almost died saving me. How can I let him down?"

Gu Chengyan frowned and wanted to say something but stopped, and this subtle expression happened to be seen by Jiang Jiu.

I sighed helplessly in my heart: Even if they are not real husband and wife, at least they can provide a cover for him. It seems that King Qi's men also know about their relationship. It's really sad.

Nanny Qian replied, "My lady, the prince has left. The young master has woken up and wants to see you."

Gu Chengyan looked at Jiang Jiu's background and frowned even more tightly.

The girl is a good person, the prince...
