Misleading the Fourth Miss of Xiangfu

Chapter 86

With her head down, Qiao Ye had only walked two steps before bumping into someone.

The strong aroma of wine seemed to accompany him by nature.

Looking up, she saw Qi Xuan as expected, he was tall, she needed to look up when she looked at him.

"Brother Qi, why are you here?" Qiao Ye smiled, as if she hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Why? No welcome?" Qi Xuan raised his eyebrows, his eyebrows were very thick, and when he raised his eyebrows like this, he actually showed a bit of madness.

"I didn't say that." Qiao Ye said with a smile, "Quick, please come inside."

As he spoke, he led the way and led him to the private room to sit down.

The guests in the private room next door spoke loudly and drifted over without missing a beat: "His Royal Highness is getting married in ten days, I don't know how lively it is!"

"Yes, I heard that many people rushed to Chudu just to see the grand wedding of His Highness!"

"..."

While drinking, Qi Xuan peeked at Qiao Ye's expression, thinking secretly, and asked with a smile: "Brother Xiao Qiao, what kind of chain store did you talk about last time, let's discuss it carefully. These days, the business is not very good ,well."

"Okay." Qiao Ye had no doubts, and patiently explained all the business to him carefully.

After hearing this, Qi Xuan patted Qiao Ye on the shoulder as if suddenly enlightened, and laughed: "Brother Xiao Qiao, compared to doing business, brother is really not your opponent, there are many tricks. Remember what you said, brother Now, let’s go back and plan.”

Then he stood up.

"Yeah." Qiao Ye got up to see him off.

"No need to give it away." Qi Xuan stopped in front of the map of the Twelve Flower Gods, and glanced at the tall rockery with some meaning.

Besides being able to do business, what else can you do?It's a happy event to be married to the king.

Qiao Ye didn't stay outside for long, because mother's pigeons flew over, she hurried back to Shizhuyuan.

Mother said that Ling Zongwu sent someone to invite her to the front yard.

It's really not easy for Ling Xiang to use the word "please".

Qiao Ye couldn't figure out what was so important. Ling Xiang even sent someone to send her rouge, powder and gorgeous clothes, and specially told her to dress up beautifully.

Seeing her mother's frowning, full of worry, Qiao Ye raised her smiling face to comfort her: "Mother, they've done enough tricks, there's nothing else new, don't worry. I'll come as soon as I go."

Facts have proved that Ling Zongwu really can't play other tricks, but it doesn't mean that other people can't.

Under the guidance of the girl, Qiao Ye entered the lobby of the front yard, and only when she caught a glimpse of the lustful eyes of men, old or young, who were seated in fancy clothes, Qiao Ye finally understood what it means to sell girls for glory.

"Everyone, this is the little girl Ling Qiaoye." Ling Zongwu leaned on the master chair in the main seat and drank tea leisurely.This self-satisfied look is different from the submissiveness when facing the royal family and nobles, and it is also different from the fierce and ruthless treatment of their mother and daughter. It is a kind of slight arrogance that is superior but well-measured, very official.

"Sure enough, she is a beauty."

"The ladies of Ling Xiang's family are all stunning."

"It is indeed beautiful."

Those words of "praise" filled their ears, and it seemed that everyone had forgotten that Ling Qiaoye was a fool, and she was famous in Chudu for being stupid.Qiao Ye stood in the middle of the hall, not moving, not speaking, very well-behaved.I'm afraid Ling Zongwu really hopes that she won't say a word, so it will be easier to sell, right?
"Lord Ling Xiang, I don't know how Miss Fourth is next to you?"

Someone finally asked, and Qiao Ye glanced at him secretly. He was a middle-aged man with a fat head and a lot of gold, silver, and jade rings on his ten fingers in a mess.

Ling Xiang thought for a while before answering: "Thirteen or four."

"Lord Ling Xiang, the old man bids 10 taels, what do you think?"

"Mr. Wu, is it too shabby for you to do this? Even if Miss Fourth has a bad mind, she is rare in the world for her beauty. I, Mr. Yuan, will offer 30 taels to guarantee that Miss Fourth will have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life." Another lean, lean man smiled contemptuously.

"Master Yuan, your original wife is not someone to mess with. If you let her know that you are private... I'm afraid it won't be good?" The third man said: "Miss Si has some problems in her mind, so she can't bear children naturally. The child also has problems, but how can we continue the incense? What will Mr. Ling plan to do with the fourth lady? This is definitely not the main wife, how about being a concubine with Zheng?"

Ling Xiang frowned deeply. Although he thought Zheng Yun was too straightforward, he had to admit that what he said was the truth.It is impossible for a fool to be the wife in this life.Just taking advantage of the lottery of Li Wang's big wedding to attract high-ranking officials and nobles, and marrying her off as early as possible, it can be regarded as a big deal.If not, wouldn't it be possible for him to raise her for the rest of her life and be laughed at for the rest of her life?
So Ling Xiang relaxed his brows, and drank tea casually: "Everyone has their own reasons, and I am not picky, let's see how you behave."

"30 taels of silver plus a house on the outskirts of the city."

"One hundred acres of fertile land in the east of the city plus 10 taels of silver."

"Several shops in the city..."

"..."

The voices of auction bids come and go, and the prices are constantly increasing, and they are constantly going back and forth, and the cycle goes on and on.Ling Xiang sat on the main seat and smiled, drinking tea slowly.

Qiao Ye stood in the empty hall, her head was empty, and her eyes were a little wet. She would definitely pay back such an insult in her lifetime, no matter what the cost!

Suddenly, I heard a servant come to report: "My lord, the little prince Qingyi is here."

Qiao Ye was taken aback.

"Haha, the young prince loves beauties the most. Now that I heard that the fourth lady of the Xiangguo Mansion is an out-and-out beauty, naturally I have to rush over here!"

"Who says it's not? This little prince really doesn't care about the price for a beauty. How can we fight for it?"

"Hmph, that's hard to say, come today to see how the little prince loves the beauty."

Qiao Ye's heart skipped a beat, Chu Mu...

Did he come to see her jokes?If she also offers the same price as these people...

Biting her lower lip tightly, Qiao Ye lowered her head, and heard a familiar clear voice in her ears along with the footsteps: "Hey, everyone is here!"

Chu Mu.

Qiao Ye didn't look up, and stood still.

Chu Mu stepped into the threshold, glanced briefly at the young girl standing in the middle of the hall, and saw Ling Xiang standing up on the main seat, and said with a respectful smile, "My lord, what brought you here?"

Others also stood up and greeted him.Even if the Qingyi Palace has no real power, it is still the biggest relative of the emperor in Chudu. The little ancestor in front of him enjoys the privilege of not being polite to any other princes, queens and concubines except the emperor of Chu. Can leisure officials compare?

Chu Mu laughed, and waved his hands frivolously, his amber eyes were dazzling: "What are you doing today? Ling Xiang just got married with His Royal Highness Li Wang, yesterday There was a lot of excitement in the palace, and now it’s fun again? Why didn’t Xiao Wang be notified?”

"This..." Ling Xiang thought for a while, then paused, unable to speak for a while.

"Little prince, Master Ling is worried about Miss Fourth's future fate, and is discussing with Caomin and others." That fat-headed Wu Yuanwai replied modestly.

"That's right, Miss Fourth has a bad brain. Everyone in Chu City knows it. Mr. Ling Xiang said that whoever can give Miss Fourth the best home will belong to Miss Fourth."

"..."

All the men in the hall said happily, and kept looking at Qiao Ye with wretched eyes, even though she was just a child who hadn't grown up.

"Really?" Chu Mu responded lightly, looking at Qiao Ye casually. She was standing a little far away from him, with her head lowered, and her eyes were covered by her long bangs, making it impossible to see her expression clearly. , but her body was very stiff, and he noticed that her hands were tightly clutching the hem of the dress by her side.

"If the little prince likes it, why not talk about it together?" someone suggested.

Chu Mu smiled wantonly: "Okay." The protracted ending was Chu Mu's usual unrestrained.

Qiao Ye's body trembled.

Everyone laughed, seeing that they were exactly what they liked, they discussed among themselves, and Ling Xiang was also caught in the middle, calling for everyone to sit down again, drink tea, and joke.

Chu Mu didn't sit down, walked to Qiao Ye's side step by step, and teased, "Look up and let me have a look." Everyone could hear the voice.

Qiao Ye stood facing the door, and when she heard Chu Mu's words, she didn't move or react.

"Miss Si, raise your head and let us all take a look, or you can go with whoever you like! How about seeing the old man? Go back home with the old man, and you can have whatever you want." laugh.

Everyone echoed, although the words were not filthy, but the taste of teasing was very heavy.

After hearing what they said, Chu Mu's smile froze a bit, but his voice did not change, it was still clear and pleasant: "Little fool, raise your head."

It was half an order and half a joke.

Seeing Qiao Ye not moving for a long time, Ling Xiang's old face couldn't be pulled down, and he scolded: "Don't look up!"

It was loud and everyone was still laughing.

Chu Mu was so upset that he couldn't bear to scold her, Ling Xiang was quite a brave old fellow.Then, he saw Qiao Ye raised her head, not in slow motion bit by bit, but very fast, very fast and obedient, her bright black eyes were the first to meet his, and she glanced away after only staying for a while, He looked out the door indifferently.

Even if she only glanced at it, Chu Mu was so shocked that her heart ached. Her eyes contained infinite sarcasm and hatred, passing him like a void, helpless, unwilling, and humiliated...

"Just now I couldn't see the face, but now it looks more and more stunning. Master Ling, the 30 taels just mentioned plus 10 taels are just for these eyes."

"Beautiful, it really is beautiful! Lord Ling Xiang, I will also add..."
