Zhao Qingyan and her father are becoming almost immune to other people's opinions and comments.
Continuing our food tour.
Suddenly, Zhao Qingyan's eyes lit up when she saw a "For Sale" sign hanging above a restaurant by the roadside.
"Dad, what do you think of this place? Is it worth buying?"
Zhao Han nodded. "The location is good, but buying it will be a bit troublesome."
Zhao Qingyan was quite surprised. "Why? Is it very expensive?"
Zhao Han laughed, "It's bound to be expensive; land under the emperor's nose is incredibly valuable. But that's not the point."
The key point is that the owner behind this restaurant chose the wrong side. As a result of losing the battle of wits, he was entangled and devoured by the other side.
Anyone with a bit of inside information knows that the Third Prince has his eye on this restaurant.
He was simply waiting for the price to drop to a certain level so he could snag a bargain. His real aim was to humiliate his rivals as well.
Zhao Han spoke very softly after that.
Zhao Qingyan could hear everything clearly. She nodded.
"Such a good location, it's just a hot potato."
However, there's one thing I don't quite understand: princes, with such a noble status, where do they find so much time to concern themselves with such trivial matters?
Haha, Zhao Han laughed.
"It is indeed a small matter, and it is not worth much money."
But isn't their goal to make things extremely difficult for the other party? In other words, to cut off their escape route and serve as a warning to others.
This restaurant was worth 20,000 taels of silver before, but now it can't even be sold.
I reckon that after a while, even 5,000 taels won't be enough to sell it. Anyone who dares to buy it will surely be invited to the Third Prince's mansion for tea.
There were a few who weren't afraid of death before. Now they're still lying in bed.
Zhao Qingyan patted her still undeveloped chest.
"Did I almost get invited for tea because of a moment of impulsiveness? What's that person's character like? This method is both despicable and childish."
Zhao Han said, "These are not things for us ordinary people to discuss. We just need to eat and drink well."
Why worry about so much, right?
Zhao Qingyan nodded.
"That's true, but when I saw that restaurant just now, I really wanted to buy it."
When the time comes, I'll have my grandma and the others come over, and we'll open another food stall.
Then I can lie at home counting my money again, how wonderful!
Zhao Han really wanted to pat his daughter's head, then open it to see what was inside.
"You, do you still need money?"
Don't even mention that what I earn here will all be your dowry in the future. You yourself can earn at least tens or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year selling wine.
How much money can you make by opening a snack stall?
Is it really worth wasting that effort? You might as well say you miss your loved ones.
Zhao Qingyan nodded.
"To be honest, I've missed them a bit after not seeing them for months. What's wrong, are you jealous?"
There's no need to be jealous; you're different from them.
Remember this, Mr. Zhao Han, you are my first family member in this world. Everyone else comes after you.
Although I was shocked and resentful when the lawyer contacted me.
However, I am still very grateful to you for discovering my existence and giving me a lot of attention.
Most importantly, you left all your assets to me.
Haha, don't be sad, that's just how I am, I'll support whoever pays me. You gave me money, so I'll love you.
Zhao Han clenched his fist, then relaxed it.
"You brat, other people's daughters are like warm cotton-padded jackets, but yours is just a leaky leather jacket."
Zhao Qingyan nodded.
"Be content. Look at how many lonely old people don't even have a tattered leather jacket like mine."
My worn-out leather jacket can give you money to do business. It can provide you with beer and fried chicken anytime. And it can even get you a movie to watch occasionally.
It lets you relive the convenience of being a person in the present. Can others do that?
Zhao Qingyan spoke with such pride.
Zhao Han really wanted to say, "Those are all left to you by your father."
But he dared not, fearing that his words might offend his little darling, and what if she disowned him again?
"Yes, my daughter is a one-of-a-kind fairy in the world."
"I, Zhao Han, must have accumulated countless lifetimes of good deeds to have such a lovely little one like you."
The father and daughter strolled around, bickering as they went.
Magistrate Qiu of Qingyang County has recently put the matter of proposing marriage to the Zhao family on the agenda.
I've also discussed it with my wife.
Another advantage of this humble marriage is that, although the Zhao family may seem insignificant now, their future is promising.
Putting aside the fact that all the men in the family have official titles, just the fact that they can be listed in front of the emperor means that this family will have an extraordinary future.
Zhao Daya is sweet and lovely, with a lively personality. She's more than a match for my mischievous little devil.
Currently, our family's status seems to be higher than the Zhao family's, but that may change after the next provincial examination.
I sent an invitation to Qingshan Xiaozhu in advance, saying that I would be visiting.
On this day, Magistrate Qiu and his wife, along with their two children, went to visit Qingshan Xiaozhu.
The Huangs and others who held the post were quite puzzled.
"Is this county magistrate out of his mind? Why did he send out such a notice?"
Everyone knows your father and his family live in the county. If you need anything, wouldn't it be more convenient to just contact them directly? Why bother with the hassle of traveling back and forth by carriage?
Is riding in a car fun?
Little did they know that the mentally challenged couple had racked their brains to prepare a gift.
"Madam, ladies, Magistrate Qiu has arrived," the gatekeeper announced.
“Alright, we’ll go greet our distinguished guests right away,” said Madam Huang.
After welcoming the county magistrate and his family into the reception room, they were seated as host and guests.
"My lord, may I ask what brings you to my humble abode?" Madam Huang asked directly.
Magistrate Qiu suddenly felt that it might be a bit presumptuous of him to propose marriage so abruptly, so he gave his wife a wink.
"Madam, it's like this."
My husband and I came here mainly to propose marriage for our son, Huang'er. Huang'er is six years old this year, about the same age as your daughter, Daya.
I want to arrange a marriage between my two children. When they come of age, I'll hold a wedding for them.
I wonder what Madam Zhao's plans are?
After hearing this, Huang looked at her eldest daughter-in-law. Wang Caixia looked at Qiu Xiaohuang, then at her eldest granddaughter nestled in her arms.
"Da Ya, tell Grandma, if you were to marry Brother Huang'er someday, would you be willing?"
Wang Caixia must have lost her mind to ask such a young girl such a question.
Daya was very puzzled.
"Marry Brother Huang'er? Like when Auntie got married, is that how you got married?"
Wang Caixia nodded, while Daya tilted her head and thought for a long time.
"No, Daya doesn't want to get married. Daya wants to stay with Grandma for the rest of her life."
Magistrate Qiu and his wife looked at each other in disbelief. They never expected to be rejected by such a young child.
