Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 219
When Chu Tiankuo was in the barracks, he went to ask Marquis Wei Wu again about the transfer to the border town, and Marquis Wei Wu took him back to the capital on horseback.

The two went to Chu Tiankuo's restaurant in Nanfang, and after finding a private room, Marquis Wei Wu talked about sending a concubine to Chu Tiankuo.

After Chu Tiankuo finished listening, he sternly refused with a black face.

However, Marquis Weiwu only thought that Chu Tiankuo was embarrassed to take a concubine immediately because of his newly married Yan Er, so he kept persuading him from the perspective of being a man.

What to say is just a concubine, if you like it, you can go there more times; if you don't like it, you can keep it like a kitten or puppy.

What else did he say, seeing that Jiang Zhixia is knowledgeable and reasonable, he must be virtuous and virtuous.

Chu Tiankuo's face darkened as he heard these words.

In the end, seeing that Chu Tiankuo's complexion was getting worse and worse, the mighty Marquis shut up embarrassingly after he refused firmly.

Although Chu Tiankuo was in a bad mood, Marquis Wuwu was his adoptive father and his commander in chief.

Therefore, in order to avoid embarrassment, he still asked the shopkeeper to serve good wine and food, and accompanied Wei Wuhou to have a good drink.

Therefore, he also learned that the fact that he was the parent and son of Marquis Cheng En, probably had slowly spread among the high-ranking families.

In the end, with a complicated expression on his face, he sent the drunk Wei Wuhou back to Wei Wuhou's mansion.

After seeing off people, he cried and went home to find Jiang Zhixia for comfort.

After Chu Tiankuo returned home, he didn't dare to hide it from Jiang Zhixia -- he couldn't hide this kind of thing.

Instead of waiting for others to pass this word to Zhixia's ears and make her angry, it's better for him to take the initiative to explain it himself.

Therefore, Chu Tiankuo told the whole story about how Marquis Wu Wu wanted to give him a concubine.

After hearing this, Jiang Zhixia stared at Chu Tiankuo for a long time.

Seeing that Chu Tiankuo straightened his hair, he couldn't help asking: "My lady, what are you looking at?"

"Look at your charm. If I remember correctly, this Ms. Zhu Biao looked like she fell in love with you during the Spring Festival in March? In June and July, Madam Mighty Marquis proposed marriage to you." Now, it's halfway through November, and it's been more than half a year, and she hasn't gotten married yet, and she has you as her target again."

Jiang Zhixia joked with a smile.

Chu Tiankuo was dumbfounded by Jiang Zhixia's teasing, so he had no choice but to retort: ​​"I always refuse directly every time."

Jiang Zhixia covered her mouth and chuckled.

At this moment, she naturally believed in Chu Tiankuo.

"However, I also learned from Marquis Mighty that the relationship between me and Marquis Chengen's Mansion has slowly spread among these high-ranking families. If that's the case..."

Chu Tiankuo mused and did not speak.

Although he didn't speak, Jiang Zhixia understood what Chu Tiankuo meant.

Now, because Chu Tiankuo has not let go of his mouth, these high-ranking and powerful families are all waiting and watching.

Some people with flexible minds, like Wei Wuhou, just want to get closer to him.

What I am afraid of now is not these high-ranking and powerful families, but the people in the palace.

Since I went to the palace to have an audience on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the palace has become quiet.But the more this is the case, the more worried people are, whether the palace will directly issue an order.

"When I go back to the army, I can only spend a few more times on Mighty Marquis to see if I can be transferred back to the border town as soon as possible."

In the end, Chu Tiankuo said in conclusion.

I can only work hard, but the outcome of the matter is not something that can be decided by the two of them.

Having said that, the two of them put the topic aside.

The two discussed the sales of wine, the situation of peppers, and the matter of cotton wool.

Wine sales have been good.

Nowadays, because the quantity of wine is scarce, the price is naturally raised.In the end, there are still people who like it to buy it.

The situation of pepper is also much better than expected.

Because Jiang Zhixia had money on hand, after she got married, she arranged for people and found craftsmen to build several greenhouses behind the hot spring house.Therefore, the peppers in the greenhouse mature very quickly.

Nowadays, the amount used to supply restaurants is already sufficient.

So, Jiang Zhixia asked Xiaoman to make peppers into various flavors of pepper sauce and spicy hot pot base.What beef pepper sauce, what pork pepper sauce, what mushroom pepper sauce.

Xiaoman is indeed better at cooking than her mother, Jiang Zhixia proposed a general idea, Xiaoman can produce results after a few days of tossing in the small kitchen.

So, Jiang Zhixia bought new servants and arranged to directly make pepper sauce and spicy hot pot base in the farm --- anyway, there is a big place there.

As for the pepper sauce and spicy hot pot base, they were naturally sold in Chu Tiankuo's restaurant.

Because Zhu Cuilou earned a lot of money, Chu Tiankuo took the restaurant as one of the sources of news.Therefore, he opened a restaurant branch in Beifang.

Chu Tiankuo is also planning to open a few semicolons in other lively prefectures.Anyway, he has hands to watch.

On the contrary, the situation of kapok flower is not particularly good.Although those people were going to Yazhou with the merchants.After all, there is no direct business to Yazhou.

Therefore, they inquired as they walked, and the journey slowed down.

In addition, winter is coming, although there is little snow in the south, it is rainy, so the journey is quite difficult.

Now, it has been more than three months. In the letter they received a while ago, they said that they were still waiting for the rain to stop in a small town that Jiang Zhixia didn't even know.

"Well, I don't expect too much, I just hope that there will be time to sow seeds in March and April next year."

Jiang Zhixia said with a sigh.

Today's travel is indeed extremely difficult.

After talking about her own business, Jiang Zhixia talked about her newly opened rouge and gouache shop 'Flower Rhythm Beauty Noodles'.

Jiang Zhixia specially asked someone to make a sign out of satin cloth, and then hired someone to circle the street.Everyone saw the words on it that do not contain lead powder, do not contain cinnabar, are made of pure natural flowers and plants, and are non-toxic and harmless.

Out of curiosity, I asked some more questions.

As a result, there were more people in the shop.After all, no one wants to be exposed to toxins.

The two chatted about business matters in detail, and the room was full of laughter for a while.

Not to mention, Chu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia were laughing and laughing here.

In other words, after the drunk Marquis Wu returned to the backyard, he ignored Mrs. Marquis Marquis and Miss Zhu Biao who were eagerly waiting in the main hall, and fell asleep directly on the bed.

Mrs. Wei Wuhou looked at the drunk and unconscious Wei Wuhou, and could only comfort Miss Zhu Biao helplessly.

"There must be no problem this time. I have made you a lady of the family to be a concubine. Then Chu Tiankuo can no longer be ignorant of flattery. Wait for your uncle to wake up, and then ask in detail about the day when he will bring you in." .”

Miss Zhu Biao nodded shyly.

Now, my aunt and father are on their own, and they are just taking a concubine, so there must be no problem.

So, she shyly bid farewell to Mrs. Mighty Marquis, and returned to her yard.

Unexpectedly, when Mighty Marquis woke up the next day, Miss Zhu Biao learned that she was rejected again.

When she heard the news from Wei Wuhou himself, she barely supported herself, said goodbye to Wei Wuhou and his wife and left.

Miss Zhu Biao returned to her courtyard with a look of resentment on her face.
