Chapter 138 Iron Smelting ([-])

In the past few days, Qiao Yurong was so busy that she couldn't keep her feet on the ground, and she slept very well.

The next day.

Qiao Yurong woke up early in the morning, just as Eunuch Mo had dressed Qiao Yurong, Lan Chu brought the Yuzhen porridge, hibiscus cake, and two side dishes that she cooked for Qiao Yurong.

Yuzhen is minced with fish meat, kneaded like pearl balls, boiled in porridge, white and tender, like jade balls in porridge, very cute, also called Yuzhen porridge.

Qiao Yurong picked up the porridge, blew on the hot air, and drank it. As soon as she drank it into her stomach, a warm current filled her whole body, and she couldn't help sighing: "Lan Lan cooks a good porridge."

Lan Chu pursed her lips and smiled softly, elegantly: "As long as the prince likes it."

Qiao Yurong smiled slightly at Lan Chu, the frown on her eyebrows was more beautiful than Chunhua: "Lan Lan is so skilled, I will be blessed in the future."

Under Lan Chu's beauty, only Xiaojiabiyu's beauty remained.

With a happy smile on Lan Chu's face, he thought of something, and said: "My lord, I have already unified those girls, and the girls from the brothel that my lord pointed out before, have all been recorded by my concubine."

"How many women are willing to marry?" Qiao Yurong asked.

Lan Chu smiled: "My lord, you said before that the dancers are also among them, so there are more than 300 women who are willing to marry."

so much?
Wouldn't that have solved the miserable lives of three hundred bachelors?

"Who don't want to?" Qiao Yurong asked.

She is actually very concerned about how many people are still willing to be in the mansion.

Lan Chu frowned slightly: "There are seven of those brothel girls, except for Yan Hong who went to the embroidery house to be an embroidery lady, the others are not willing to marry, and the other three, including Ding Jingyu, are not willing to marry."

Brothel women don't want to marry, they are deprived in the first place, and they will definitely reveal their secrets when they marry. They want to eat and drink and stay in the mansion. Qiao Yurong knows their nature is not surprising.

Ding Jingyu probably wants to serve her and stay in the mansion with the intention of repaying her kindness, and Qiao Yurong also knows it.

Why are the other two unwilling?
Qiao Yurong asked strangely, "Why are the other two unwilling?"

Lan Chu said: "The concubine just counted the number of people yesterday, and I haven't asked them yet."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yurong said: "Lan Lan, you should spend more time asking them, the king is going to send all the concubines out now, it is enough to keep you alone in the mansion."

"My lord!" Lan Chu's eyes were wet with tears, which was extraordinarily lovable.

Qiao Yurong stepped forward to wipe away her tears, and smiled: "Look at you, if you don't know, you might think that this king is bullying you."

Lan Chu looked at Qiao Yurong affectionately: "I am happy as a concubine."

Qiao Yurong let go of Lan Chu. Since she has decided to be a sister, she can get close, but she still needs to keep some distance. After all, she is a normal orientation. If she gets closer, it would be bad for Lan Chu to misunderstand her.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yurong changed the topic and said, "As for the seven girls from the brothel, if you are willing to go out, you will send them out with 20 taels of silver each, and if you don't want to stay in the mansion as brooch girls, if they don't want to be brooch girls , just drive them out, you don’t need to be polite.”

Lan Chu nodded: "I know."

Qiao Yurong took a sip of porridge and said, "As for the number of people counted, you can talk to Guanshi Yao. Guanshi Yao will communicate with General Xiao. When the time comes, the king and General Xiao will arrange for the soldiers from the border towns to meet with these women. It would be nice to see each other in the eye.”

Lan Chu had a smile on his face: "My lord is really thinking of them."

A trace of shame appeared on Qiao Yurong's face: "This king is sorry for them. Most of them are women from good families. They might have had a good marriage, but their reputation was ruined by the prince. This king's treatment of them is also making up for it."
