Chapter 255

Originally, Wang Qingyun wanted to try his best to match Guo Yao and Wang Jinzhi, but as they walked, Wang Jinzhi and Qiao Yun went to the front, and the remaining sisters were talking and laughing with the young young men behind.

As for Guo Yao, he deliberately took a step behind and was going to pull Wang Qingyun to ask about the situation.

"What's the matter with you?" His handsome eyebrows were tightly frowned, quite serious.

Wang Qingyun bit her lip.

She really didn't want to talk about it.

At the beginning, she felt that if she didn't reach the top in the end, she would be able to marry the eldest son of a third-rank official. Although it was not in her mind, food and clothing were indispensable, and she could be relied on for the rest of her life.

But now she is a little shaken.

She has met so many sisters from high families, and her thinking is different from before.

Mrs. Xie is not married, and some female gentlemen in Bixia Academy are not married. I heard from Princess Linjin that some of the nobles in the palace are not married either.

Mrs. Xie can be called the richest man in Chang'an. She has so much money that she can't spend it in several lifetimes. Don't say that if you don't get married, you can't rely on someone.

Although the female gentlemen of Bixia Academy are not rich, they have educated so many students, many of whom are princesses and princesses. After retirement, the filial piety of these big families is enough for them to spend their old age comfortably.

Which one of them is having a bad time?
Wang Qingyun has no idea about her future, but just vaguely feels that if she really can't meet a man she likes, then there is nothing wrong with not marrying for the rest of her life.

Of course, she can't say this thought, if her parents find out, they will break her legs.

She didn't want to take the initiative to tell Guo Yao that she didn't want to marry him, but she just wanted to wait for Guo Yao to fall in love with someone else and take the initiative to withdraw, so that she wouldn't appear to be ungrateful.

She forced a smile, and said: "It's not a bad thing to know more young ladies of good background. Isn't your brother still engaged?"

Guo Yao showed his original expression, but the next second he was puzzled again: "Then why do you always push me to talk to them, isn't my Seventeenth Brother like this?"

"After all, you are the eldest brother. You should hold the eyes for your younger brother. He can't let him decide such a big matter."

"You don't have to worry about that, his parents are also in Luoyang at the moment." Guo Yao smiled clearly.

Seeing that he still didn't understand what she meant, Wang Qingyun was a little anxious. She mustered up her courage, glanced at him cautiously, and said, "Brother Guo... I think, with your current official position, you deserve a better little lady. We The family is really humble, and it will not help you in your future career..."

Guo Yao was very moved.

His fiancée actually thinks about his official career!How wonderful!

He said firmly: "Don't worry, I won't despise you because of your poor background. My father said that the fame of a military commander is earned by killing enemies on the battlefield, and you don't have to rely on the support of the Yue family."

Wang Qingyun was dying of anxiety.

Why doesn't this indiscriminate idiot understand what she means!
There are some small vendors at the entrance of Xiangshan Temple, some selling incense, and some selling handicrafts.This is a clean place for temples, and the hawkers don't sell much, but it seems that the business is good.

Wang Jinzhi stopped in front of a small stall, picked up something and looked at it.

Qiao Yun glanced at it, a little surprised: "This is... incense powder? Are you selling this in front of the temple?"

The stall owner laughed and said: "You don't know, this is a fragrance powder made from dried maple leaves in autumn in Xiangshan Temple and peony petals in spring. The skin care effect is very good."

Wang Jinzhi asked curiously: "How is this different from the powder sold elsewhere?"

"That's naturally different. The maple trees and peonies here listen to the monks chanting scriptures in the temple day and night, and they are quite spiritual. The incense powder made from them is naturally extraordinary."

"How much is a box?" Someone behind asked curiously.

"Three strings of money! You are innocent. This little lady has a pretty face. Using this must be the icing on the cake. Buy a box and take it home?"

Qiao Yun shook her head as soon as she heard it.

What is this!
If what he said is true, then the microbial colony here is estimated to exceed the standard, and it won't make your face look bad if you apply it on your face?If what he said was false, wouldn't that be false propaganda?You can buy much better quality than this at the cosmetic shop in the city for three pennies.

She turned her head and saw that Cui Yue was eager to give it a try, so she quickly stretched out her hand to give her a hand.

"No need."

"Why isn't it necessary?" The stall owner refused to let go of the fat sheep that was finally delivered to the door, and said repeatedly: "This little lady has a lot of signs, buy a box, this powder is good for the body."

"She didn't bring any money." Qiao Yun snorted, turned her head to look at Cui Yue, raised her eyebrows and said, "I can't afford a box of three powders."

When Cui Yue heard this, she suddenly remembered that she didn't bring any money with her when she went out, so she scratched the back of her head with a silly smile.

"Then don't buy it, hehe... I've already forgotten about it." She hugged Qiao Yun's arm and acted coquettishly: "My good sister, I'll leave the ferry ticket back to you later."

The stall owner widened his eyes.

This little lady dressed so luxuriously didn't bring any money?

What a waste of his tongue!
Wang Jinzhi smiled and led everyone to the threshold of the temple.

In order to hide her embarrassment just now, Cui Yue coughed dryly and said, "I heard that the vegetarian restaurant here is very famous, mainly because it is free."

Wang Jinzhi's eyes widened: "You've only had dinner!"

"I just said it casually, and I don't want to eat it." Cui Yue blushed.

It turned out that Qiao Yun paid the incense sticks for several people. Fortunately, the incense sticks are not expensive, and you can buy a lot of them for ten pennies of the lowest quality.But with their identities, burning a handful of incense sticks worth ten cents would be a shame. Qiao Yun took out a piece of gold leaf without changing her face, bought a handful of incense sticks worth a handful, and shared three sticks with each of them.

Wang Jinzhi felt distressed when she saw it: "Oh, my monthly salary at home is only three yuan. Why do you have to spend so much money?"

Qiao Yun smiled, and said nonchalantly, "I'm a merchant, and I don't have anything else in my hand, but I have a lot of money."

Now every sum of money spent is a favor owed by them.The daughters of these rich families have thin skins, and it is quite embarrassing to go out without money.Although there are many cases of going out to spend money and keeping accounts first, those are all in the city after all, and the consumers are also frequented shops, and the shopkeepers behind the shops also have backers.

Who would have the cheek to let these boatmen and peddlers go to the house to ask for money in this kind of place where they don't know if they can come once a year?

After this incident, in order to thank Qiao Yun for not embarrassing herself on the spot, they will definitely have a reward far beyond this.

Qiao Yun wasn't looking for any material rewards.

What she wants is to be familiar with the rich and powerful.

Qiao Yun has been proficient in taking care of her skin in the past few months, her skin is extremely supple, and her hair is black and smooth.She has good clothes and well-dressed clothes. At the age of 12, she has begun to look beautiful.

Originally, those young gentlemen were quite interested in Qiao Yun, but when they heard Qiao Yun say that she was a merchant, they immediately lost interest.They hid behind the crowd and whispered together.

Xiao Twelve sighed: "Oh, what a pretty lady, she was born as a merchant."

Guo Shiqi also nodded in sympathy: "My mother will never allow me to marry a merchant girl."

Lu Jiu disagreed quite a bit: "You can think about it. The lady of the merchant's house just happens to be a concubine and puts it in the room, so that it won't delay you from marrying the real lady."

"That's right, keep it in the house for three to five years, and enjoy it when it grows." Xiao Twelve suddenly realized.

Yang Yi, who was following behind the team, heard this extremely disrespectful words.

She raised her brows and reprimanded: "Shut up your thoughts! Just like you, you still let others be concubines? She can understand the eyes of a lady, can she like you?"

The ears of the three young men turned red from being scolded.Xiao Twelve reluctantly defended: "Our background is so noble, to be able to marry a merchant's daughter as a concubine is to flatter her!"

"Hmph, what's the benefit of following you? Why should I be a concubine with you because I can earn glory and wealth by myself?"

"Following us is naturally decent!" Xiao Twelve Lang retorted blushingly: "You have a good background, so naturally you can't understand the difficulties of the merchants. How many merchants are asking for your daughter to be married to a high-ranking and wealthy family as a concubine? Can't ask for more face!"

"That is, in the future, when we get an official position in the future, she will be a female family member of the official family. How can she get the benefits here by doing business?" Guo Shiqi retorted not to be outdone.

"How can Mrs. Xie be the same as those vulgar fans?" Yang Yi was so angry that she covered her heart.

Hearing the quarrel behind her, Wang Jinzhi frowned.

She glanced back at Guo Yao who was talking to Wang Qingyun behind her, and raised her voice, "Guo Da, take good care of your family!"
