Chapter 309: Chapter 309, planning a marriage
Fu An took a deep breath and said to Fu Lu, “Why are you stepping on my feet? The pearls on my shoes are top quality pearls. One of them is worth a hundred taels!” Qin Miaomiao drank a mouthful of water and said, “Xiangxiang, I don’t mind.” When Qin Miaomiao chose Lin Mo, she knew that she would be laughed at. She was just annoyed, but she did not care about the eldest Princess Jinghua. When she planned for her marriage, she only wanted to be respected by everyone. At that time, she knew that the Qin public house was already on the decline. What she wanted was to have the glory and wealth of the first half of her life in the future. What she wanted was for even her father to respect her. Therefore, when King Yong sent a letter, she also chose to reply. The reason why Qin Miaomiao chose Lin Mo was because she knew that to Lu Chen, Lin Mo was the person he had trusted the most since he was young. After Lu Chen ascended the throne, Lin Mo would definitely become an extremely powerful official. Most of the other sons of noble families relied on their father and the power of the elders in the clan. They might not be able to do anything in the future. As expected, now that she had gotten what she wanted, Lin Mo was the right prime minister who was high and mighty. Those ladies would laugh at her now, but it was hard to say for sure if they would still need her help in five or ten years. One day, the shadow of the noble families would be lost, and her husband would always be in a position of power. Right now, all she needed to do was to manage the family well and help Mrs. Lin manage her affairs. It would be great if she could have a child without having to consummate the marriage. Princess fu an only realized the relationship between Qin Miaomiao and eldest Princess Jing Hua after some time. She quickly said, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Xiao Lin. I didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t mind me.” Qin Miaomiao smiled faintly and said, “I really don’t mind it.” Princess Rong came over and pulled Fu An’s hand. “Why are you hiding here? You’re not in a hurry. Mother is in a hurry to hold her grandson!” “Mother, brother has just married sister-in-law. It’s too late for you to hold your grandson.” Princess Rong said, “Are you afraid of having too many children?”? The man who showed you today was really not bad. He had made outstanding military achievements. “His mother is also easy to get along with. It’s a bit far, but it won’t be difficult for you to come back to Chang ‘an and stay there for ten days or half a month. “Hurry up, he’s waiting for you in the pavilion at the center of the lake.” Fu An was pulled by Princess Rong. She looked at Fu Lu for help and said, “Mother, I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for me to go alone. Why Don’t you ask Fu Lu to go with me?” Princess Rong glanced at Fu Lu and then looked at Qin Miaomiao. “Is Madam Xiao Lin Free? My Fu An has been bedridden for a long time and is a little afraid of strangers. Why Don’t you go with her?” Qin miaomiao answered, “Yes, Princess.” Fu Lu more or less felt that he was being despised. Did this aunt of hers think that her taste was bad? Her husband was a playboy! Fu An had no choice but to go to the pavilion in the center of the lake. From Afar, she saw a handsome man in the pavilion. Qin Miaomiao looked over as well. She remembered this man. That day, when she was seeking death, it was this man who had come to save her with a flying knife. If not for his help, she would already be a wisp of soul by now. When Yue Zhan saw fu an, he bowed to him and said, “I am Yue Zhan. Greetings, Princess Fu An.” Fu an looked at Yue Zhan and shivered. His eyes were filled with fear as he said, “Yue Zhan? The Yue Zhan who killed countless people?” Yue Zhan frowned slightly. What killing countless people? “I am indeed the Yue Zhan.” “Ah!”Fu an fainted on the spot when he heard that. Qin Miao Miao was so frightened that he quickly reached out and hugged fu an. He turned pale with fright and said, “Princess, someone come, someone come quickly. General Yue scared the princess unconscious!” Yue Zhan:”...” If he had known this would happen, he would have watched this woman hang herself and die that day! Why did he save her! ! The maidservants at the side quickly came forward. The old woman carried princess fu an back into the room. Once inside, Qin Miao Miao said to princess fu an, “Princess, stop acting.” Fu an slowly opened his eyes. “You know that I was pretending to faint?” Qin Miaomiao nodded. “When I went to help you just now, I Saw You Move.” “Wasn’t that because I was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to help me? I’m wearing a new cloud brocade traditional dress. This cloud brocade is rarely seen, and it’s the first time I’m wearing it. If I fall to the ground and get dirty, I can’t do it.” Qin Miaomiao:”...”Fu an and Fu Lu were indeed cousins. When Princess Rong heard that princess fu an had fainted, she immediately came over. When Fu an saw this, he closed his eyes again and only slowly woke up when the imperial physician was about to give her an injection. “Mother, I don’t want to marry that Yue Zhan who kills people like a horse. I heard that he’s very cruel. Back then, he was the one who cut off the Longxi King’s head, and he even brought the Longxi King’s head to Chang ‘an.” “Even sister Jing Hua couldn’t stand his cruelty and left him. How could you be so cruel to push your daughter into the Wolf Pit!” Princess Rong hugged fu an and said, “Okay, okay, okay. I Won’t force you to marry. Don’t be afraid.” Fu an winked at Qin Miaomiao. Qin Miaomiao looked at the deep love between the mother and daughter and left. When he returned to Madam Lin’s side, he heard all the madams talking about how Yue Zhan scared princess fu an unconscious. Some of them even talked about the past between Yue Zhan and eldest Princess Jing Hua. Madam Lin had a good temper. No matter how they talked about her son, she just smiled at them. .. It was a good time to ascend the throne on a crisp autumn day. It had been a few months since Lady Qiao had left the palace. After dealing with the matters of the six palaces, she wanted to go outside the palace for a stroll. Lu Chen had just ascended the throne. After promulgating the law that women could inherit the family business, he also adjusted the business tax of great Tang. For a time, he was so busy that he could not spare time to accompany Lady Qiao out of the palace. Seeing Qiao Jinniang’s listless look, Lu Chen said, “There aren’t many memorials today. Why don’t we take a break in the afternoon? I’ll accompany you to take a walk on the main street in the afternoon?” Qiao Jinniang’s eyes immediately lit up, and she said happily, “I haven’t seen octagon and the others for a long time. I wonder how business is in the Hundred Savory restaurant. Glutinous rice still has something to entrust me to them.” Seeing Qiao Jinniang so happy, Lu Chen also curved his lips into a smile. The Autumn Air was refreshing, and the fragrance of osmanthus wafted through the air. However, as it happened to be after noon, most of them would rest in the afternoon. At this time, there were not many people on the main street, but the business in the Hundred Savory restaurant was still very good. Qiao Jinniang and Lu Chen went to the private room of the Hundred Savory restaurant. Qiao Jinniang took off her veil and let out a breath. “I haven’t been here for a long time. This street is much livelier.” There were many female customers in the Hundred Savory restaurant. There were many jewelry stores on this street. The jewelry store that Qiao Jinniang opened was the one with the best business. After lunch, Qiao Jinniang put on her veil and went to the jewelry store. Perhaps there were new products, but it was noon, and many noble ladies came to choose. Today, Fu Lu dragged Qin Miao over to the jewelry store. “I heard that there is a new style in the jewelry pavilion. I don’t know who the owner of this jewelry pavilion is. He can earn so much money. Ah Lu’s salary is too little, not enough for me to buy a gold crown.” Qin miaomiao smiled and said, “It’s the gold crown that is too expensive. If it’s just salary, no one can buy the gold crown here every month.” Fu Lu looked at the gold crown in front of him and said, “You’re right. Fortunately, I have a generous dowry.”
