Han Xuri felt a chill between his legs. "What are you thinking, kid?"
Xu Dongsheng said ominously,
"You dare to say that because you haven't met a girl from the Zhao family."
"What do you mean?"
Han Xuri sensed that what Xu Dongsheng said next was definitely not a good thing, but he still couldn't resist his curiosity.
"If someone dares to be fickle, break both of their legs first. If they repeatedly fail to correct their ways, break the third leg."
Han Xuri unconsciously covered his private parts.
"Hey bro, don't scare me. Wait a minute, your wife's so tough, don't you ever think about getting a new one?"
Xu Dongsheng was delighted.
"Why would I want to change? I have no intention of being a womanizer, let alone having multiple wives and concubines."
Besides, could anyone else be as beautiful and smart as my wife?
Can someone else be as rich as my wife?
Could someone with my wife's family background—seven county magistrates from one family?
How do you know that no one in my in-laws will rise to great heights in the future?
As for Zhao Qingyan's martial arts skills, Xu Dongsheng didn't mention them, for fear that Han Xuri would be jealous of him.
Han Xuri saw that Xu Dongsheng was stubborn and only said that he would go to the palace to speak on his behalf.
As for whether it will succeed or not, that depends on my uncle's opinion.
Xu Dongsheng was afraid that the time was not right, so he said, "If my uncle does not agree, I will resign from my post and go to Dawa City to join the army."
These words nearly gave Han Xuri a heart attack.
"You brat, are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Xu Dongsheng nodded, "Yes, I hope you can sincerely plead for me. I'll wait for your news at the Princess's residence."
Han Xuri was truly terrified by Xu Dongsheng. He didn't even ride a horse when he went out; he went straight to the palace using his light-footed skills.
When the emperor learned that his newly adopted nephew was going to run off with his wife, his heart sank to the depths of despair.
I can rationally understand my nephew's thoughts.
My nephew has had a difficult life. His adoptive parents passed away when he was very young, and he grew up alone.
After the engagement, his future in-laws treated him like their own son, and his fiancée was also devoted to him. Having experienced such warmth, how could she possibly want to lose him?
However, emotionally, the emperor hoped that Xu Dongsheng would be closer to him, his uncle.
If they disagree, that kid is planning to join the army.
Of course, it would be fine if that kid agreed to reveal his identity, but he's stubborn and refuses to acknowledge his father.
This is a difficult situation. Even if he were the emperor, he couldn't very well interfere if a compiler in the Hanlin Academy wanted to resign.
In the end, they agreed to Xu Dongsheng's request.
The letter announcing his transfer quickly reached Xu Dongsheng's hands.
The two top scholars of this year's imperial examination, who had been eager to compete with Xu Dongsheng, were shocked to the point of questioning their existence upon learning this news.
What is love in this world? Can one truly give up their future for the one they love most?
He Jincheng scratched his head, completely unable to understand.
Wen Sheng, the third-ranked scholar, also couldn't understand it.
"Don't ask me about that. I already have several wives and concubines, and nearly ten sons and daughters, both legitimate and illegitimate."
He Jincheng became withdrawn.
Why is it that everyone else has a fiancée, a wife, or a concubine, but he doesn't?
He was all alone, and as for who he would marry or not, the elders picked and chose like goods.
I've ended up in a situation where I'm neither good enough for high-end jobs nor good enough for low-end ones, and now I'm already twenty-four.
The moment Xu Dongsheng received the transfer document, he went home and told Zhao Qingyan.
This made the Zhao family extremely happy.
Although he knew that Xu Dongsheng's future would be bright if he stayed in the capital.
But distance is distance, and I'm worried that this will cause the young couple to miss each other in the future.
The Zhao family didn't have much time to prepare, so Zhao Qingyan, Zhao Qinglin, and Zhao Qinghe were responsible for purchasing the items needed for the journey.
The men of the Zhao family were responsible for researching detailed information about their assigned locations, determining specific routes, and purchasing relevant books.
They also had to teach the workshop workers all the techniques for making sugar and canning.
The duties of a local official are not only to ensure good public order, but also to educate the people and develop the economy.
Therefore, it involves all aspects of the content.
The rest of the family should bring along the maids and servants to prepare food that is easy to store for the journey and to hastily make clothes.
Zhao Qingyan took her two sisters on the trip, one in charge of purchasing and the other in charge of paying.
The Zhao family has decided to split up; there's nothing that can be done about it.
The family members are going their separate ways. If they don't divide the family property quickly, how will each branch of the family support its expenses in different places?
Zhao Qingyan decided to cover all the expenses of the third wife's family.
We don't need to buy rice, flour, oil, or other grains for now.
I already have everything at home, but I mainly need to buy items that are easy to carry on the road.
The first thing to do is to order a pot and an iron stove from the blacksmith's shop.
Then there are various kitchen knives, machetes, sickles, and the like.
After all, when traveling far from home, these seemingly ordinary household items can be lifesavers in critical moments.
Then there are things like fur. Even if it gets hotter, who can guarantee that the weather won't change in the meantime?
Besides, after buying these furs, the family members can still use them in the winter.
After this parting, who knows when we'll meet again?
Zhao Qingyan then decided to buy the dowries for her two sisters and wedding gifts for her two unmarried brothers.
Upon arriving in the capital, we found Tianxiang Silver Shop, which was said to be the largest jewelry store.
As for why not go to Huicui Pavilion? Zhao Qingyan had already given her the styles from Huicui Pavilion.
Upon entering the jewelry store, the three sisters immediately caught the eye.
Zhao Qingyan is pure and beautiful, Zhao Qinglin is heroic and imposing, and Zhao Qinghe is quirky and clever.
The first floor mainly features gold and silver jewelry.
The design is fairly novel, but it's a bit too small; it would be more suitable as a small gift or a reward for servants.
There's no way around it; as the tide rises, so does one's status, and things are different now than before.
Soon the three sisters were invited to the second floor.
The decorations on the second floor look much more exquisite.
Zhao Qingyan picked out a set of ruby jewelry for Zhao Qinglin and a set of sapphire jewelry for Zhao Qinghe.
Considering daily wear, we also selected a set of gold headdresses for each of the sisters.
Two jade pendants, a golden hair ornament, and a pair of golden bracelets were chosen for Zhao Qingfeng and Zhao Qingluan respectively.
Although gold is a common commodity, it can still be exchanged for money in crucial moments.
Thinking that her eldest cousin's family had a little baby, and the other children in her family, Zhao Qingyan picked out a jade pendant for each of them.
After all, children can carry these things with them from a young age.
I also bought each of the children a solid gold lock.
It's a bit heavy, but it's sturdy. Otherwise, if it were hollow, a child would bite into it and it would be ruined.
The boxes in front of the three sisters were filled with more and more things.
The other customers who came with them were so jealous that their eyes were practically red with envy.
"My God, where did this country bumpkin come from? He doesn't look like he's buying jewelry, he looks more like a reseller."
The selection process is now much smoother, but I'm worried that I won't have the money to pay later.
Cousin, when you entertain guests at your jewelry store in the future, you must make sure they have enough money on them.
