July 20th, Zhongxing Prefecture.

Today is a rare good day for Zhongxing Prefecture in the eighth year of Tianxian.

It's not that there is any festival today or the weather is just very good, but today is the day when the Imperial Censor of the Great Xia Kingdom, the future Minister of the Central Secretariat, and the favorite of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - Mr. Zhang Yuan, gets married.

You should know that the Xia Kingdom relied on the Minister of the Central Secretariat to lead government affairs. This Minister of the Central Secretariat was the prime minister. Since the petition of the Minister of the Central Secretariat to retire had been approved, the current Minister of the Central Secretariat would have to retire at the end of the year. Then Zhang Yuan would become the most powerful person in the Xia Kingdom.

Of course, even if Zhang Yuan ultimately failed to reach that position, his position as the "Deputy Prime Minister" of the Imperial Censorate, coupled with the support of the Crown Prince, meant that no one could look down on him. Besides, who would look down on an Imperial Censorate? Wouldn't that be courting death?

Moreover, the fact that the king is seriously ill has been going on for so long, it cannot be concealed. So once the king dies and the prince takes over, won’t Lord Zhang Yuan be in charge of the Xia Kingdom?

Just tell me, such an important person is suddenly getting married, shouldn't you show that you are also very happy? If there is even the slightest unhappy look, if it gets to the ears of Lord Zhang, hehehe, then you and your family will be prepared to join the death squad.

However, everyone was very curious about how stunningly beautiful this Qinghe woman bought by Lord Zhang was that she could make the knowledgeable Lord Zhang fall in love with her at first sight.

After all, Lord Zhang just hasn't married yet, but that doesn't mean he hasn't seen a woman in these years.

Lord Zhang has worked diligently for the Xia Kingdom over the years. Whether it is the king, the prince or the nobles in the palace, they have all given him many beauties, which together are as many as a reinforced company. Add to that the gifts from his colleagues and the filial piety from his subordinates, and the beauties in Lord Zhang's family are enough to form several hundred-man teams.

It is said that after this Qinghe woman marries Lord Zhang, she will lead this group of women as the mistress of the Zhang family, so people have even called her "female captain". After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, someone who can openly lead hundreds of people and control the life and death of hundreds of people is just a captain.

Of course, some people are worried that after Mr. Zhang gets married, he may not treat his children equally, or that after the Qinghe woman becomes the first wife, she will be like other first wives and sell off the women she dislikes.

This is what many people are concerned about.

Although it was common for officials to sell off their concubines, and everyone considered it a personnel change within the Zhang family, nothing serious, the beauty of the Zhang family's concubines was well-known in Zhongxing Prefecture. If he could buy one back... well, she wouldn't be able to be the head wife of the household, but she wouldn't be a bad choice as a concubine. This might be the closest he'd ever been to a high-ranking official like Zhang Yuan...

No matter what the people in the city were thinking, generally speaking, everyone appeared to be happy. Many businesses put up advertisements saying, "Congratulations to Mr. Zhang on his wedding. 20% off on all items in our store."

Anyone who had any connection with the Zhang family would send a gift in a roundabout way, and then they could openly bring their entire family to the Zhang family's buffet.

After all, it's a wedding day and everyone has fulfilled their duties. Lord Zhang won't come out to chase anyone away, right?

Ordinary people could only eat Zhang's buffet under a temporary tent set up on the street, but people of a slightly higher status could enter the restaurant booked by the Zhang family.

Even though I still couldn't enter the Zhang Mansion, it still felt like I had been treated to a banquet by Master Zhang at the restaurant, didn't it? It was quite an honor to say the least.

But since we want to be a little more upscale, the gifts we give out can no longer be those trivial things. And in this world, is there anything more upscale than Qinghe crystal products?

Naturally, the wealthy went to Qinghe's shop early to order a pair of crystal vases. Those with more taste ordered a pair of crystal mandarin ducks. Those without money could go directly to the shop to buy a pair of earrings inlaid with crystal particles. For a time, the sales of Qinghe's shop in Zhongxing Mansion increased several times. It was not just a shortage of supply, but it was actually testing Qinghe's production and the efficiency of its logistics routes.

So much so that Chen Fan seriously considered whether he should write a letter to Lin Hai, suggesting that the plan be suspended. As long as Lord Zhang could marry a wife every year, a living Zhang Yuan would be more beneficial to Qinghe than a dead one.

Indeed, no one had expected that the crystal income this time would greatly make up for the empty Qinghe financial treasury after the war. This was why Shi Zhen'er did not faint immediately after seeing the empty treasury, but called on everyone to hold on, as support from Lord Zhang would arrive soon.

As everyone expected, as Zhang Yuan's benefactor, Prince Wei Mingfeng arrived early and directed the servants in the hall like the head of the Zhang family, saying that Zhang Yuan should have a good rest and save enough energy to get drunk tonight, and he would arrange the wedding.

What a blessing this is.

Of course, the prince just had to make a gesture, and no one dared to treat the prince like a butler.

That's not seeking death, that's beating the King of Hell.

"Your Highness, please rest in the elegant room. There are servants here, and I am worried that they are ignorant and will offend the prince." Hearing that the prince walked straight in and started to order the servants in the lobby of Zhang's house, Zhang Yuan hurried to the lobby and said with a flattered look.

"That's fine. Today is your happy occasion, and it's also my happy occasion. Even if the servants make some mistakes, it's harmless." The prince helped Zhang Yuan up and nodded to him. "For many years, you didn't want to marry, and you didn't even want to have a child. I was very worried. But now, since you have a girl you like, I will definitely support you with all my strength. Hahahahaha."
