Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Lei Luo inquired about one thing, something that shocked him unceasingly. The prince had just sent the news that he was about to make a move and asked An's family to voluntarily withdraw from the marriage. Unexpectedly, before he made a move, the news had already been heard here.

He asked his subordinates: "Is this news true? The Ning family really wants to marry Miss An?"

"It's absolutely true. In fact, I've heard the news before. I didn't tell you because I was afraid it was a rumor. Our spies in the Ning family heard what Madam Ning said with their own ears, and it's almost done."

Lei Luo frowned and asked: "Madam Ning, what does this mean? Is she deliberately trying to snatch King Shun's woman or is she really doing it for her second son?"

The subordinate thought for a while with a strange expression, and shook his head: "I don't know what she thinks, but there is one more thing. Mrs. Ning said that she would give Ning Sanlang a yin marriage on the same day that Ning Erlang married his wife. I found out that Mrs. Ning recently asked a matchmaker to go to the Fu family to propose marriage."

Lei Luo could hardly maintain his normal expression, "Master Fu's family? I didn't hear that his family had a daughter who died young."

"My subordinates have inquired about it, and they said that it was a cousin girl who lived in Mr. Fu's house. She is alive. She is sixteen this year. Because her parents died, she went to the Fu's house. She has lived in the Fu's house for many years."

"What kind of shady marriage is it? A living person matches a dead person? Who is willing to sell their daughter like this? Even if the Fu family doesn't like this cousin girl, they can't do such a thing?"

"This is also where my subordinates are puzzled, or is Madam Ning thinking that Ms. An's plan may not succeed, so she made double preparations?"

Lei Luo shook his head. It was never heard of such a big family in the capital going on a blind date. One would find the next one before it was decided. If word got out, how would the Ning family still hang out in the capital?

"I always find it a bit strange. If you go to inquire again, you'd better find out what Madam Bai Ning thinks."

"Here." As soon as the subordinate left, someone came to report that someone from Nanyue came, and the third master of the Xie family came with him.

Lei Luo is a junior, and he went to the gate of the city to greet the pedestrians. He had already received a letter from the prince, and he knew that he would open a jewelry store in the capital, and he would also move the fabric and clothing business from the grocery store there.

He has even found a store, and he is waiting for people from Nanyue to come to see him. He is in charge here in the capital, and even if he opens a few more stores, he still has the decision-making power.

"Thank you for your hard work all the way." Lei Luo stepped forward and greeted Xie, and asked him about his father's physical condition. Calculating the time, he has been in the capital for almost two years, and he has not gone back to visit relatives.

When Mr. Xie heard him mention Lei Yang, his expression was filled with indescribable envy and jealousy. On the way he came, he already knew that Lei Yang would be an official in the county guard's mansion, and he would still hold the financial power.

He is not much younger than Lei Yang, and he has not accomplished anything until now, and he has to nod and bow in front of a junior. You must know that Lei Luo has much more power than him.

Lei Yang not only had a good life, but also gave birth to three good sons. The eldest son took over his business in the Northland and ran the wool factory in the Wangfu. Even the officials have to give him three points of face when he goes out.

Not to mention the youngest son, everyone knows how much the prince values ​​him. He came to the capital at a young age to be the shopkeeper. It is bound to soar into the sky.

Hey, it's really different for the same person.

"I haven't seen you for two years, and my nephew has become more and more calm. It seems that this capital city is really a place to train people. Look at this whole body style. Who will believe that you are a treasurer when you go out? You are no worse than a high official."

Hearing that he was flattering him so much, Lei Luo smiled inwardly, but he didn't look bad on him, he greeted him to the inn with courtesy and thoughtfulness, and then arranged a reception banquet at Fulai Restaurant to cleanse the pedestrians.

The shopkeeper sent by the palace was a middle-aged man. Lei Luo had never met him before, but he knew such a person, so he was more polite to him than Mr. Xie.

Three years ago, Lei Luo could only rely on Lei Ming as his uncle, the governor of the county, to make people humble. Now he can rely on himself to make these older stewards bow their heads and obey their ears.

Xie's family also bought a house in the capital, Mr. Xie didn't have to worry about having no place to live, and the middle-aged steward lived in another courtyard with Lei Luo and the others.

Li Xu worked in real estate in his previous life, so he was very keen on buying a house. Before the grocery store opened, he bought this five-in-one big courtyard, not to mention just a few stewards and small workers, even if the entire palace was moved here. Enough.

Lei Luo received news from the Ning family again that night. Mrs. Ning really proposed marriage to the Fu family, also for Ning Erlang.

Although the An family is not as good as the Fu family, Ms. An is a daughter-in-law, and the Fu family is just a cousin girl. No matter who she is, it is impossible for anyone to be a concubine. I really don't know what kind of medicine Mrs. Ning sells in her gourd.

Lei Luo recalled that there were still a few exquisite scarlet brocades in stock, paired with the pearl phoenix crown that was the treasure of the jewelry store when it opened, it would definitely make the most exquisite and gorgeous set of phoenix crown and Xiapei, as long as it is a woman, it is absolutely impossible to escape this lure.

Lei Luo took his own initiative to advance the opening date of the jewelry store. This shop also sold jewelry in the past. It took a few days to renovate, and then Lei Luo chose an auspicious day for opening.

On the day of the opening, Lei Luo asked a charming woman to wear a bright red wedding dress. The long skirt was spread like flowers on the spacious carriage. Cover up, showing the woman's coquettishness and temptation.

This red wedding dress was specially customized by Li Xu for the opening of the jewelry store. It is different from the popular style of deep clothes nowadays. It looks extremely gorgeous, and the style is more inclined to the Song and Ming Dynasties hundreds of years later. It was also Li Xu who saw it on TV. of the more common styles.

In addition to the wedding dress and phoenix crown, the woman also wore a complete set of jewelry. She knelt on the carriage, her delicate hands gently placed in front of her knees, and the loose cuffs just exposed a pair of large gold bracelets inlaid with precious stones. Different styles of rings are worn on each finger, which are also products that Li Xu vigorously promotes.

Compared with bracelets, rings are not so expensive, they can be purchased by middle-class families and above, the styles are many and novel, and they even accept customization, which must be more popular than necklaces and bracelets.

The carriage carrying the woman was a spacious flatbed cart driven by four horses. It was unobstructed and drove smoothly and slowly through all the streets in the capital, attracting passers-by to watch.

"Which family is marrying a daughter? How can the bride be exposed? But she is dressed in a strange way, really gorgeous."

"Didn't you see what was written on those chess pieces? It's not a wedding, but a jewelry store has opened. What this woman is wearing should be a sample for customers to see. It looks a little weird, but it's so beautiful. If my family My daughter is getting married, and I want her to dress like this."

"Don't dream, you don't want to see what kind of cloth the wedding dress on her body is made of, and the golden ornaments all over her body, which one we can afford."

"It's true, this jewelry store must be opened for wealthy people again, and we were kicked out when we went."

"Hahaha...that's just..."

Laymen watch the fun, and experts watch the doorway. Those noble ladies who deal with jewelry all day can see at a glance that the embroidery on this wedding dress is extremely outstanding, and the jewelry is also extremely exquisite and unique. The pearls are round and radiant, and the gold is shining in the sun. Shine brighter.

Lei Luo not only let the carriage drive the models around the street with great fanfare, but also set up a stage outside the shop, and invited more than a dozen beautiful ladies to come to the show. They wore flower masks, so no one knew who they were Who, so as not to cause trouble because of their identities.

The noble ladies who heard the news poked their heads and looked out from the teahouses and restaurants along the street. No one was more interested in clothes and jewelry than them.

Mrs. Ning was sitting on the teahouse directly opposite the shop. This was the box with the best view, and Mr. Xie personally arranged it for her. He said that this shop had shares from the Xie family, so he invited his aunt to join in. It was lively, of course, for which he also presented a set of valuable jewelry.

Mrs. Ning did not come alone. She invited the An family's mother and daughter to accompany her. Pointing to the colorful clothes below, she said, "I didn't expect my nephew to have such a vision when I was young. These clothes have different styles. If I Ten years younger, I must make a set of them all and change them every day."

Mrs. An was also fascinated. Not only were the clothes beautiful, but the jewelry worn by these Xiuniangs was also extraordinary, each of which was particularly innovative.

"I didn't expect this to be a shop run by your natal family, Sister Ning. To have such craftsmanship, your natal craftsmen must be highly skilled."

Mrs. Ning said with a little pride: "When my father was around, his children were not allowed to do business. These are all handled by the subordinates. My nephew is ranked third. I guess he was sent to take care of these things because he has no skills."

Which powerful family does not have any property?With that little salary, the whole family has already been drinking the northwest wind, so the poor children in the family usually take care of these general affairs, Madam An is not surprised.

"Yiran, did you see the wedding dress just now? I heard from my nephew that the wedding dress is the only one in Dayan, and there will be no similar ones in the future. There is also the phoenix crown, which cost nine hundred dollars." 99 pearls, do you like them?"

Miss An felt her heart beating faster. She looked at Madam Ning shyly, and asked, "Auntie, you... like it, but it's too expensive, and I don't deserve it."

Mrs. Ning pulled her to her side, touched her face, and praised: "Our Yiran is someone who is praised even by the emperor, how can we not be worthy? Although my Ning family is not rich, I bought a set of phoenix crowns for my daughter-in-law. I still have Xiapei, if you like it, I will ask your cousin to keep this set as my own, maybe he will give some discounts."

Mrs. Ning really turned people away when Xie Sanlang first came to the door, but today, she feels that there is nothing wrong with having a wealthy natal family. Many things that people miss need to be purchased at high prices. Of course, having money is better than having no money good.

"Sister Ning, the matter of giving the marriage..." Mrs. An was hard to say. Mrs. Ning kept telling them the news that her daughter could cancel the marriage, but until today, no one was sure. As soon as the news reached Shun Wang's ears, her daughter really didn't want to be a human being.

"Don't worry, it will definitely work!" Mrs. Ning said firmly.

In fact, it was not difficult. Both parties who gave the marriage were dissatisfied, especially since King Shun had a sweetheart. Mrs. Ning only needed someone to say something nice about King Shun in front of the emperor to shake the emperor's mind.

It doesn’t matter whoever King Shun married in South Vietnam, but if he took Lang Zhongling’s daughter, he would be in contact with the capital again, and Lang Zhongling was in charge of the imperial palace’s guards, a group of warriors who were closest to the emperor. Heart, the emperor didn't even know how he died.

After her mind was shaken, Madam Ning asked people to spread rumors in the capital that King Shun's power had risen greatly. It was true that Kou's army had increased from [-] to [-], but many people didn't know it. Don't underestimate this number of soldiers and horses. Fifty thousand troops, the cost is not a small amount.

Nanyue is such a poor place. I heard that many people would starve to death every year. Now that King Shun has gone, the military strength has increased dramatically. People with a discerning eye will naturally give credit to King Shun.

Where did King Shun get the money to support the army?

Was it the former queen who left him a large inheritance?Or maybe the Han family saved treasures for him in advance?Maybe there are Han family members who have not died and continue to serve him.

Anyway, this kind of news that the wind is the rain is unpredictable, and it is just a few casual remarks, but it is enough to make the emperor fearful of King Shun.

The matter of bestowing the marriage was delayed again and again, and the emperor obviously did not want the marriage to continue. At this time, Madam Ning only needs to ask her husband to cry in front of the emperor, and the emperor will definitely change his mind.

The emperor even thought that Ning Junzhi must have come here to avenge Li Xu, but what did it matter, wouldn't it just solve his urgent need?The emperor should be happy to see King Shun and the Ning family fighting against each other.

Mrs. Ning assured: "As long as An Jia nods, even if my Ning family will fight hard not to have this face, I will definitely let the emperor cancel the marriage offer!"

The mother and daughter of the An family were very moved. They deeply felt that Mrs. Ning attached great importance to them. With such a husband-in-law's family, Miss An's life should be easy after she gets married, right?

Rather than letting her daughter go to South Vietnam to endure hardships, Mrs. An is naturally more willing to marry her daughter to the well-know Ning family.

Ms. An was even more willing. The phoenix coronet and Xiapei still couldn't get out of her mind. She imagined that she would be the most beautiful bride when she got married wearing this wedding dress.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and decided to discuss it with Mrs. An when they went back, but they didn't see that Madam Ning's indifferent and cruel eyes when she looked down at the street at this time, was not at all as close and gentle as before.

Lei Luo was sitting in the room next to them, listening to their conversations and expressions through the small hole in the wall. If he hadn't seen Mrs. Ning's eyes that seemed to be eating people when she turned her head, he would have thought that The two hit it off.

He patted his frightened little heart, and thought to himself: "No wonder it is said that the most poisonous woman's heart, this Mrs. Ning's method of revenge on King Shun is really strange! But doesn't she know that King Shun has another love? What would be gained by taking Miss An away?" use?"

"Forget it, forget it, a woman has a needle in her heart, who knows what she thinks." Lei Luo immediately wrote this matter to Li Xu, asking him to wait for the news in South Vietnam, and if there is no accident, the news of the marriage will be cancelled. It will be passed back to South Vietnam soon.
