Starting with choosing a wife, creating the most powerful Xia

When Xiao Ziqi left the villa, she felt that her head was still a little dazed.

She still can't figure it out. Since Chu Xuan was able to analyze the pros and cons of this matter so clearly, he must have known the dangers involved himself.

He's just a collateral branch of the Chu family. Even if he now has the title of "Poet Immortal," does he dare to oppose the Prince of Liyang?

Why should he help me? And the price I have to pay is to go to a mountain village and work as a teacher for a while.

Xiao Ziqi originally thought that Chu Xuan was willing to take such a big risk to help her because of her body. Although she felt helpless, she would probably accept it if Chu Xuan had brought it up, although she would feel a little uncomfortable. But Chu Xuan's words showed more respect and did not treat her as a plaything to be traded.

Although she couldn't understand it, Xiao Ziqi was extremely grateful to Chu Xuan.

"Young Master Chu..."

Before leaving, she glanced back at the courtyard.

"I will remember this favor. You have done me a great favor, young master. Even if this matter fails, I will do my best to protect you from harm."

After Xiao Ziqi left, Chu Xuan sat on a recliner and drank tea, while Chu Ling'er beside him looked somewhat puzzled.

"My lord, since you know that the Prince of Liyang is not someone to be trifled with, why did you still agree to help?"

She didn't believe in any talk of school teachers; with money in hand, finding a school teacher would be easy, wouldn't it?

They didn't believe that Chu Xuan was attracted to Xiao Ziqi's beauty. With three people by their side, any one of them would be as beautiful as Xiao Ziqi.

There must be another reason.

Chu Xuan smiled faintly and gently rubbed her head.

“There are indeed other reasons. The Prince of Liyang is the current emperor’s sixth brother, a son of the same mother, and they have a good relationship. In my memory, this only son of the Prince of Liyang is eccentric and lecherous. If I were to make contact with him rashly, it would not be a good thing. After all, neither my status as a member of the Chu family’s collateral branch nor my reputation as the so-called Poet Immortal would be of any use in front of such a person.”

"Then why is my husband still..."

"Ling'er, do you still remember the salt field outside the village?"

Before Chu Ling'er could finish speaking, Chu Xuan chuckled softly at her worried expression.

"The salt fields have been almost abandoned ever since Lu Yongyuan and the others died, which is a real pity. If they could be developed, along with perfume, it would be more than enough for Wuming Village to complete the first step of its plan."

There was one more thing Chu Xuan didn't explicitly say.

That is, after he becomes famous this time, he will inevitably fall into the sight of more and more people in the future. At that time, the salt field will naturally be exposed, which will at least attract the covetousness of many parties, and at worst become a handle for others to attack him.

Given Chu Xuan's current situation, it's impossible for him to develop and sell the salt fields; he needs someone who can handle this matter.

Fortunately, Xiao Ziqi's matter provided him with a channel to contact the Prince of Liyang.

Although it may be somewhat risky, the risk is worthwhile compared to the potential benefits.

"As for the second one... I saw that you all looked at Xiao Ziqi with some reluctance just now. How could I, as her husband, let my wife be so sad?"

"Ms. sir..."

Hearing Chu Xuan's words, Chu Ling'er didn't know what to say, feeling both worried and sweet.

As evening fell, Chu Xuan boarded a carriage and went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

By this time, the sky was already faintly tinged with dusk, and the row of brothels along the Qinxiang River had already lit their lanterns, creating an extremely decadent atmosphere.

Upon arriving at their destination, Liang An leaned out of the window and said, "Young Master, we've arrived."

"it is good."

Chu Xuan tidied his clothes a bit and then got out of the car.

Since they were coming to a brothel, bringing women in and out wouldn't be friendly to the three women, so only Liang An accompanied them this time.

Although Liang An's skills were not as good as A Leng's, he was still quite reliable as a bodyguard. In addition, he knew the route in this area, making him the best choice to accompany them.

This was not the first time Chu Xuan had appeared on the banks of the Qin Xiang River, but the scene was completely different from the last time.

When he arrived last night, he was still the target of attacks from the Qi family and a group of talented men, and everywhere he looked, he was met with disdain and mockery.

But this time, Chu Xuan only showed his face briefly, yet it drew gasps from countless people.

Many talented men who came to seek pleasure and admire the moon, as well as many courtesans, looked at Chu Xuan with some surprise.

"It's the banished immortal! The banished immortal has actually come!"

"Is that the poet who became famous after getting drunk last night? He is indeed handsome and dashing."

"That kind of temperament is not something that ordinary people can have; he truly deserves the title of 'Poet Immortal'."

"Speaking of the Poet Immortal, he smells so good. It doesn't smell like a sachet, but rather like pure floral fragrance. Is this the scent of an immortal?"

The crowd exclaimed in amazement. Every now and then, talented men would step forward, wanting to chat with Chu Xuan, so that they would have something to talk about when they went out in the future. As for the girls from Qin Xianghe, the bolder ones would step forward to talk to him, while the less daring ones would flirt with their slender figures from a distance, sending out ambiguous glances.

She wondered to herself, if she managed to hook up with this poet, would she still need to live such a life of debauchery in a brothel? Even just being a concubine would be a dream come true for many.

This series of actions made Chu Xuan feel quite uncomfortable, and it was quite difficult for him to reach Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

After finding a seat with the madam's guidance, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Xuan looked at the wrinkles in his clothes and the powder smeared on his face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Liang An found it amusing. In the past, when he saw this young master Chu, he was usually calm and composed, rarely so disheveled.

Having gotten to know him better over time, and knowing that Chu Xuan was easy to talk to and generally extremely kind to everyone unless deliberately provoked, she boldly made a joke.

“Young master, I think there are quite a few beautiful women among those women. If you are willing, you can call them over to serve you. I’m sure the ladies won’t object.”

"Come on, you're having fun watching the show, aren't you?"

Chu Xuan rolled his eyes at him. When he was surrounded earlier, Liang An had been desperately pushing behind him and pushing him to the front, clearly wanting to watch the show.

Let's set aside whether Chu Xuan actually had this idea.

After learning that he wasn't bringing three women with him, Ah Leng, claiming it was to prevent him from seeking pleasure with other women, made sure he didn't leave until evening.

Thinking of the girl's violent methods and his still somewhat weak legs, Chu Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Just as he was thinking, several tassels suddenly hung down from the red platform in front of him, fluttering and dazzling the eyes for a moment.

Then someone shouted.

"It's Miss Xiao! Miss Xiao is out!"
