[Caiyun Kingdom] The beginning of people

"Excuse me, is this Miss Zhang Zelan from Longqing County, Heizhou?" One day I was leaving the Zizhou Branch of the All-China Federation of Commerce in Guiyang when a group of people rushed out and blocked my way.

The servant next to me immediately guarded in front of me.

"Misunderstood, misunderstood," a beauty with yellow curly long hair came to me, "Miss Zhang, I just want to talk to you." The beauty smiled gently, "My name is Lily, I am Hong Li Shen's family."

lily?Isn't this the girl Huang Fengzhu is dating?May be the same name.

"I'm Zhang Zelan, this way please." I gestured to her and walked into a nearby restaurant.

"It's like this," after the waiter served tea, Lily folded her hands on her knees and said gracefully, "The Hong family hopes to cooperate with Ms. Zhang."

I picked up my teacup, "I would like to hear more about it."

"Isn't Ms. Zhang interested in entering the tea market recently? The climate in Hongzhou is mild, and there are some better tea varieties compared to the blue state. I wonder if Ms. Zhang is interested?"

"A businessman is always interested in a profitable line of business." I don't mean to say that.If the pie falls, you can't open your mouth casually, it may be poisoned.I just can't figure out why the dignified Hong family came to me.

"In that case," Lily touched the teacup, "wouldn't Ms. Zhang be willing to change the marriage and cooperate with the Hong family?"

I froze for a moment, then put down the teacup, "I can't agree."

"Please listen to me first. Well... I know this is embarrassing for you, but the other party is also a young and promising person! He also passed the state examination, and in terms of talent, he will definitely not be inferior to Miss Zhang's fiancé. ...Character, character may not be comparable, but it is only a little bit inferior. Well...maybe a little more...but he is a good person...should...probably...probably not."

"..." Lily, who was quite elegant and beautiful just now, suddenly fell into a strange hysteria.Does she really know what she's talking about?

"Ah, let's not talk about these things. His only selling point is that he has a lot of money. His family wealth is so rich that his wife will never worry about clothes and clothes. She can live a luxurious life. Please rest assured that although his personality may be, it is not... But his face looks normal, above the level, within common sense, and will not pose any danger to your life.”

"..." She seemed to be getting more and more strange.

"Please!" Lily widened her big round eyes and looked at me sincerely.

I turned my head and thought for a while, then reached out and poured her another cup of hot tea to calm her down, "So, Miss Lily wants to propose marriage to me?"

"Yes."

"Sorry, I can't agree."

"...You can take whatever dowry you want."

I smiled and said, "Sorry."

She lowered her head in disappointment, and then looked back at me enthusiastically, "Gentle personality, not greedy for money, she is definitely a suitable candidate for Li Shen's wife and Jiang You's mother! Miss Zhang, although I can only offer financial conditions , but please think again? I will give you a very smart and lovely adopted son.”

Adopted son Jiangyou, is it a gift?

"...Miss Baihe, are you here to propose marriage to me on behalf of Hong Lishen?" Cai Baxian, this is so unbelievable.

"Ah, I missed it." She covered her mouth, "I'm sorry, because I finally found a suitable candidate, so I was too excited."

Finally...?I laughed.Also, "I missed it"?Is she trying to cheat the marriage?Hahahaha~

"Sorry, I really can't agree. Besides, I think Miss Lily should ask Li Shen what he wants. I only met him twice." If you don't count the number of times I followed secretly.

"Isn't that enough?" Lily looked at me suspiciously, "There will be a lady who is willing to meet him for the second time. I thought this would never happen until the end of the world. Miss Zhang still lives with Li Shen Let's go through a room."

Ah, no, this is a bit too weird, "I was rude that day, but my fiancé, step-brother and other friends were there at the time, so there was nothing wrong with it."

"That is already a very great thing." Lily stood up and bowed her head to me, "Miss Zhang, please agree to marry Li Shen, otherwise he will die alone, and eventually the whole world will be triggered by psychological distortion. the end of humanity."

"...I don't think Li Shen has the will to destroy mankind..." Although I don't comment on his secondary level and destructive power.

Suddenly, with a bang, Hong Lishen kicked open the door of the box, and roughly pulled Lily's back collar with one hand, "What impolite words are you talking about? Hmm?"

"Li Shen, don't disturb me, I'm doing something very important!"

"Ah? Are you trying to snatch my friend's wife? You're really despicable."

"I don't want to be said that by someone like you." Baihe acted like she didn't know Li Shen as well, "Ahahahaha... I'm sorry, Miss Zhang, but please think carefully about what I just said!"

I looked at the two of them and laughed out loud.

Li Shen is really pitiful.

I smiled and said, "Miss Baihe, are you looking for someone who is gentle and not greedy for money, and who can treat Li Shen every day?"

"Hey... Although family background, talent, etc. are very important, I am really thankful that I was able to find such conditions."

Hong Li gave me a deep look.

I smiled and continued: "Then, Miss Lily, are you married yet?"

"I do not have it."

"Then why can't Miss Lily marry Li Shen?"

Hongli said deeply, "Damn girl, are you out of your mind? Who wants to marry her? Lily is dating Fengzhu."

Lily's eyes widened again upon hearing this, "Me?"

I was also dumbfounded.Love triangle?No, it was Hong Lishen who was doing something.Judging from the performance, the person he cares about should be Lily—I don’t think it’s easy for Hong Lishen to have a second partner, it’s too rare—but he said he didn’t want to marry her?He was obviously asking me how to coax a woman.

Is he an idiot?

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"..." is wearing a panda mask... Zheng Youshun.

He pointed to Hong Lishen, then lifted his mask slightly, and gave me a mouth shape: idiot.

Ok, I see.

"Pfft!" I covered my mouth and finally fell down on the table unbearably.

"Miss Zelan?" Lily asked.

Hahahaha!

cute youth~

Taking advantage of Hong Lishen and Baihe's entanglement, I quietly exited the room, nodded to Zheng Youshun, "Why Youshun...?"

He gently closed the door, lifted his mask, and said with a wry smile: "It was Li Shen who pulled me out."

I stretched out my hand to help him go down the stairs, and said with a smile, "No. 1 state test in the purple state and red state is not studying, and those who pass the test will be mad."

"I originally wanted to read a book quietly, but I didn't succeed today."

I laughed again, "This panda mask is really cute." The craftsmanship is as exquisite as a work of art.

"It was made by Li Shen, a leading craftsman in the country. It is specially used to...well, to cover up his whereabouts."

"...Why do I suddenly feel that craftsman..." Very pitiful.

"No, Miss Zelan is not delusional." He smiled at me understandingly, and handed me the mask in his hand.

I took a look at it and returned it to him, "Forget it, someone once threatened to throw me to feed the panda, and now I don't feel like facing the panda very much."

"Oh? There are people who are so unreasonable towards women?"

"It's a bit too much, but I think it's just a matter of character, and it has nothing to do with my gender."

"...Why do I feel that Miss Zelan said that, that person is even more pitiful?"

"...It's You Shun's illusion." Kui Huangyi would not be pitiful.

I sent You Shun to the lobby downstairs to sit down, called a few servants from Zhang's family to guard him, and took them away first.At noon, I visited a betting shop, took my things, and then went to meet a potential partner. In the afternoon, I asked the others to go back first. I only took Qingzao, Wang Dali, Awen and Xiaoxiao to Kui Mansion .After I changed my clothes and put on a veil, I got into the sedan chair brought from outside.

"Miss," Qingzao knocked on the sedan chair in a low voice, and said from the window, "I think I saw Miss Gui."

Your lady?I lifted the curtain, followed the direction Qingzao pointed, and saw Xiao Gui, the daughter of Xiao Wu, the former magistrate of Longqing County.

"Stop the sedan chair." Xiao Gui seemed to be arguing with others, "Qingzao, go and find out. Don't show your whereabouts."

"Hey! I know." Qingzao turned around and trotted over, and she came back after a while, "Miss, it turns out that Miss Gui is married and gave birth to a boy, but her husband is a bastard. The pawn is out. Others heard that she is very fertile, so they all come to beg. Her husband is negotiating the price with others, but Miss Gui is unwilling, and is about to fight to the death."

I frowned.Why do the people under the emperor still have this custom?The so-called pawn wife is to lend a wife to someone else, usually a man who can't pay the bride price but wants to find a good woman to leave offspring to pay for the rent. Once the agreed period is over, the wife will return to her ex-husband, and she will still be counted as her ex-husband. wife, but the children born during the "rental" period belong to the post-husband.

This kind of thing is unethical, and it is expressly prohibited by law, but it has been repeatedly banned like forcing a widow to marry. There are also many women who voluntarily do this to help their families.

I thought about it, and said: "Go and call the people from the patrol room, Xiaoxiao will go with Qingzao. After you call, you will pay attention to the development of the matter, and report to me when you come back. Remember not to let Miss Xiaogui find out."

"Yes."

"Yes."

After finishing speaking, I put down the curtain and went to the Sunflower Mansion.

Kui Huangyi was already waiting in the mansion, Wang Dali had just knocked on the door twice before he came to welcome him.His life is really frugal, in his capacity, but only a porter and two servants.

"Have you begun to feel your luxurious life?"

"Can't you really talk well?" When he came up, he stabbed me again.

"got used to."

I breathed in my throat.

"You resemble a person," I said.

He glanced at me.

Stepping into the hall, I took off the veil and said with a smile: "Hong Lishen." The degree of viciousness in the mouth is quite similar.Comparing the two, Hong Li's deep ones will stimulate people to the point of killing them head-on, while Kui Huangyi's ones will make people feel powerless, and the color of their mood will instantly turn gray.But as far as the result is concerned, it is also true that people want to commit suicide.

After Kui Huangyi met my second uncle's fifth cousin Zhang Zechi last time, Zhang Zechi also complained to me repeatedly about where he got such a difficult Mr. Yu Shi.

"Is your eyesight not working?" Kui Huangyi snorted softly, "There are not many good things in the first place, even the eyes are bad, Zhang Zelan, you are hopeless. Do you want me to wake you up with snow water? ?”

I laughed, "Just say it, I'll take you as annoyed."

He glanced at me again, then turned away his face and made tea, "I don't care what your brain is wrong, it can't be helped anyway."

I smiled and put the thing in my hand in front of him, and opened the bag, "It's the purple shirt accessory you want."

After making the tea, he took it over for a closer look, put it down after looking at it, and stared at me coldly, "What kind of eyes are you looking at?"

It's rare for him to have such an annoyed expression, "It's nothing." I held the tea as if nothing had happened, and sniffed it lightly.Hmm, nice tea scent, haven't smelled this one for a while.

He suddenly sighed and rubbed his forehead, "Do you know which betting shop has a good reputation?"

"There are quite a few, and the Zhang family is one of them."

"Sell yourselves."

"I'm a legitimate businessman, so I don't use that kind of tactics." I smiled, "I won't do stupid things like blowing up my own brand, and keeping repeat customers is the long-term rationale."

"The Zhang family is involved in a lot of business."

Who wants to tell him business secrets? "You can't put all your eggs in one basket." I gently brushed this topic over.

"Okay, it's the Zhang family." He didn't ask any more questions, but also changed the topic, "You can tell him to make up more money when he comes, and I will ask for the extra money."

I looked at him.

He turned his face away again, "Order it down, let the people in the Zhang family's store be more polite to Mr. Wang Ji."

I:"………………………………………………………………………"

"What kind of eyes are you looking at?" He turned around and stared at me with a cold face.

"No, I didn't say anything." The purple shirt is not only precious in craftsmanship and materials, but also because it has the purple color that represents the royal family, it also means that it is noble and extraordinary, and it cannot be made without the royal order.But according to the bettors, the person who came to pawn the purple shirt foolishly sold it for less than one percent of its value... It turns out that this natural fool is the leader of the aristocratic faction, Mr. Wangji... ...isn't he a villain?How did I get reduced to pawning the purple shirt that symbolizes honor......

"Don't do this to me. Just say what you want."

"Really?" Wang Ji is Kui Huangyi's adoptive father, if I say bad things about Wang Ji, won't he kill me?

"No, fake."

"I knew it." I thought for a while, then tilted my head and said, "Master Aoi, thank you for your hard work." I still have to work hard to get back the things that were coded out.

"Tell it to yourself."

I shook my head and laughed.That's right, I'm the one who has worked so hard.The task was completed, I left after a pot of tea, Kui Huangyi sent me out of the house and turned back.

Back in Zhangfu, Qingzao, who I sent to visit Xiao Gui, also came back.She said that the police arrest temporarily stopped the pawning of the wives, but it was not a long-term solution, Xiao Gui's husband was still unwilling to give up.I sighed and understood this layer too.I thought about it again, and asked Qingzao to find someone pretending to be Xiao Gui's relative to help her.If she is just in urgent need of money, that's easy, I'll just give her the money; if the husband is greedy... just ask Xiao Gui if he wants to divorce, and I can use money to lure her husband to sign a divorce letter.

"Miss, why are you bothering?" Qingzao pouted, "I also think she is very miserable, because of the state shepherd case more than three years ago, her father was beheaded, and her brother died on the way to exile. Mother hanged herself again...but...but she treats the young lady like this, and even helps her brother force the young lady to marry her..."

I looked at Qingzao with a smile and didn't speak.

Qingzao covered her face, "Okay, I also think she is really miserable, it's good to help her."

I laughed out loud.Back then, Xiao Gui's elder brother wanted to use wine to misbehave me, Xiao Gui reminded me that I should repay her.However, she probably hates me, the "former future sister-in-law" who lives a very nourishing life, and I can't come forward in person.

Let's talk about good things, I'll take another look at Zhang's paperwork and then go to wash up and go to bed.

A night without dreams.

Waking up the next day was the beginning of a nightmare.

"Miss, miss!" When I was looking at something in the study, Qingzao stumbled over.

"What's wrong?" I finished writing the last stroke, and then put down the penholder in my hand.

"Zhong, Zhong..." Qing Zao cried, "Someone came from the palace just now and said... that Uncle Zhong is gone."

I froze.

After a while, I stood up slowly, looked at Qingzao, "You just said, what happened to Zhong Jietong?"

"Miss, people in the palace said that Uncle Zhong is gone! They said he disappeared in the dormitory!"

I pursed my lips.

"Miss!" Qingzao looked at me timidly.

I lowered my eyes and said softly: "Prepare the sedan chair, I'm going to prepare the dormitory for candidates."

"...Eh? Eh! Yes!"

After Qingzao ran out, I supported the table with one hand and grabbed the clothes on my chest with the other, almost out of breath.

Jietong.

Zhong Jietong, who said he wanted me to grow old together with him, is gone?
