Chen Ming'an was the Imperial Scholar whom Princess Ronghua, Zhu Huaizhen, had set her eyes on in the Golden Imperial Hall.
However, he refused the bestowed marriage, saying, "Your Hi...
Chapter 157 Blessing
When it comes down to it, blessings are just a few words.
Besides, most merchants have limited literacy.
They rushed to line up, pushing Zhu Huaizhen, Tu Mi and Lou Li to the back.
"Your Highness, it's up to you. You are the pampered Princess Ronghua." Tu Mi joked.
Ahem, Princess Ronghua is a fool and doesn’t study hard.
Zhu Huaizhen felt that if his elder sister Zhu Huaishu were still alive, it would not be a problem.
"Zhen'er, there is another way. I will kill all the people in front of me, and then you don't have to think about the blessings." Lou Li's face suddenly became as gloomy as water, and his eyes were extremely serious.
After he finished speaking, Zhu Huaizhen immediately realized that Lou Li was telling the truth and couldn't help but shudder.
"Ali, don't." Zhu Huaizhen pursed his lips.
She originally wanted to say one more thing: Ali shouldn't be so extreme.
However, Ali never mentioned his past, so why should Zhu Huaizhen give him any advice?
"Zhen'er, then you have to think of a blessing." Lou Li suddenly whispered in Zhu Huaizhen's ear.
Zhu Huaizhen couldn't help but tremble, just like being licked by the red tongue of a poisonous snake.
She tried her best to suppress her fear, but found that Ali didn't care at all.
Well, Ali is numb from being hurt.
Zhu Huaizhen felt a little sorry for Lou Li, but not much.
If the poisonous snake bites her back, she will surely die.
So Zhu Huaizhen listened hard to the blessings spoken by the merchants in front of him, trying to find some inspiration.
Unfortunately, she doesn't know martial arts and her hearing is average.
"Zhen'er, let me read it to you." Lou Li interrupted Tu Mi and smiled coldly.
Tumi glanced at Lou Li and said nothing.
I have to sigh, Lou Li was able to survive until now only because of fighting.
If you don't fight or compete, and just wait for things to come to you, that means you have a good background.
"I wish Nanchu prosperity and good weather." Lou Li's voice was low and cool.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen slowly came to his senses.
She shouldn't be afraid of Ali.
Ali must be sad.
If Ali wanted to hurt her, she would be unable to resist.
Moreover, Ali was afraid that he would hurt her, so he allowed her to marry Chen Ming'an as a concubine in name only.
She could feel this sincerity.
"I wish Nanchu a good harvest and full granaries." Lou Li said quietly, and the blessing sounded more like a curse.
There are many similar blessings, such as peace and prosperity in the country, peace and prosperity in the world, flourishing flowers, clear seas and clear rivers, eternal generations, picturesque scenery, rapid development, brilliant achievements through the ages, prosperity of all industries, a bright future, etc.
When it was Zhu Huaizhen's turn, he was really at a loss for words.
"Are you from Southern Yan?" The soldiers guarding the city looked at the pass carefully.
Just now, there was five hundred taels of silver for a head, so there is naturally no need to check.
However, fifty taels of silver per head was not enough for the soldiers defending the city to extort much money, so they started to make a fuss.
"Yes, sir, all three of you are from Southern Yan." Zhu Huaizhen bowed.
At this moment, Zhu Huai really didn't understand why Chen Ming'an had to be so low-key when accompanying Zhao Lian'er for three days back home. Was it Emperor Xuan of Yan's request, or was it Zhao Lian'er's preference?
"People from Southern Yan, how can you sincerely congratulate us from Southern Chu?" The soldiers defending the city sneered.
"I wish Southern Yan a prosperous land with abundant natural resources and outstanding people." Zhu Huaizhen stuffed a bag of silver coins into the hands of the soldiers defending the city.
This bag of silver coins is very small and contains about twenty taels of silver.
The soldiers defending the city weighed the pros and cons and allowed Zhu Huaizhen to push Tu Mi out first.
Then, Zhu Huaizhen lowered his posture again and said with a smile: "I wish Nanchu will prosper and become stronger."
This time, she took out a longan bodhi seed from her waist and stuffed it into the hands of the soldiers defending the city.
Longan Bodhi seeds are not too expensive, estimated to be ten taels of silver each.
Jiangcheng believes in Buddhism, from top to bottom, and the soldiers defending the city must do so.
