Chapter 237 New Thoughts
When the martial arts competition to select a bride began to be prepared, it was not so smooth, and the list in Qin Qixuan's hand recorded all the merchants who had business cooperation with the Qin family.
For such a large event, the Qin family had to make full preparations and plans, prepare food and drinks for the guests, and invite some doctors to avoid injuries and medical treatment. These were all expensive expenses.
The Qin family could certainly afford this money, but the Qin family also needed to think twice before they could bear to spend so much.
Originally, Qin Qixuan and the third brother were prepared to be thrifty and save money where it was necessary, even if the scene did not look so good, it was simple.
It was Xiao Xixi who came up with a plan. She used her experience from these ninety-nine lives and said a lot of things. Even though Qin Qixuan could hear her thoughts, he didn't quite understand. Instead, the third brother nodded thoughtfully and sorted out her plan.
In fact, it was the idea of "recruiting business" and "advertising" in later generations. Let the partners provide some money or goods, and then the Qin family will help these people with business dealings to promote it, so as to achieve a win-win situation.
The third brother couldn't help but think that Xiao Xixi was a business genius. In this way, the martial arts competition to recruit a bride can be held in a grand manner, and the Qin family doesn't have to spend a huge amount of money. It's wonderful.
Therefore, the subsequent investment promotion was carried out by the third brother. Now that the martial arts competition for marriage has begun, everyone is amazed at the Qin family's generosity.
"Wow, each table can be equipped with wine and food, and it is so rich?"
"There are also small bags given when entering the venue. Women have rouge and powder, and men have folding fans or seals! Children also have some, mostly rattles and small wooden swords!"
Although they are all small toys, it is the first time for everyone to see this kind of "souvenir" scene, and everyone is very surprised.
This is not Xiao Xixi's suggestion, but the third brother has learned it by himself after some reminders.
Not only that, weapons and sharp tools are temporarily stored outside the venue. There are at least 500 guards scattered in every corner of the venue, which makes people feel at ease.
No one who came to watch the excitement had expected that the Qin family's martial arts competition would be so grand.
In the next hour, Qin Qixuan was introducing the merchants who would cooperate with him. Xiao Xixi felt that no matter what era it was, this kind of process was always so long and drowsy, even the martial arts competition held by his own family was no exception.
"Thank you Zuiyuexuan for the wine and food, thank you Hongzhuang Pavilion for the rouge and powder, thank you..."
Qin Qixuan read out one by one, but the reactions of others were different from Xiao Xixi's. They were all very curious.
"So these are all made by Zuiyuexuan? I've never been to Zuiyuexuan, but I didn't expect them to be even better than Cuiyulou!"
"These wooden toys for children are of very good quality, without any barbs. I must buy some small wooden swords for my children to practice martial arts!"
Everyone was talking about it. In the following month, the stores of these cooperating merchants were packed with people. But that's another story.
After reporting the list of cooperating merchants, Qin Qixuan posted all the papers with the names of those who signed up for the martial arts competition and the dignitaries who were given invitations by the emperor on the walls around the royal horse farm.
"Now, please get ready and go forward one by one in order to compete. People who haven't registered but want to try can get their number plates on the side. Please note that once you are on stage, no matter whether you live or die."
This method was thought up by Xiao Xixi. Xiao Xixi contributed many new ideas to the martial arts competition. Qin Qixuan and the third brother praised her highly.
Fu Yan and Helian Shi were looking at the competitors in front of them very attentively.
For the two of them, what they care most about is not these powerful people, but the people who have registered from the people.
The powerful are not worth mentioning. Although some of them have practiced martial arts since childhood, they can never compare to people like them who have been trained on the battlefield.
And it is the people who are most likely to produce masters.
When Fu Yan and Helian Shi's eyes met, they were both stunned for a moment.
It happened that the two were not far away, and Qin Shu would not notice them.
Helian Shi could not help but look at Fu Yan coldly. Seeing his calm appearance, he was very angry.
"Why are you still here? Don't you know that people from the official family cannot participate in the martial arts competition without an invitation?"
Helian Shi himself could not participate, and did not want to see Fu Yan do well. He thought Fu Yan was also unwilling and wanted to try his luck. After all, the emperor should not give Fu Yan an invitation...
Thinking of this, Helian Shi's eyes flashed with a gloomy color, and then disappeared quickly.
But he did not expect that Fu Yan had prepared it early.
He slowly took out the invitation in his hand.
"Is that what General Helian is talking about?"
Helian Shi looked at the red thing in his hand and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"You, how could you..."
Fu Yan sneered.
"You are too impatient. Even without me, you can't be the final winner."
As for how the invitation came...
Fu Yan looked at Qin Xixi from a distance. Little Xixi was watching their movements furtively at this time.
"How it came, don't bother General Helian."
Helian Shi knew that Qin Shu would not give the invitation to Fu Yan, but he still couldn't help feeling frustrated in his heart.
Little Xixi looked at the interaction between the two and couldn't help but giggle.
[Alas, looking at these idiots who came today, it would be better for General Helian or General Fu Yan to be Xixi's new father! 】
No comparison, no harm. Xixi couldn't help but feel that her mother's marriage was really bumpy!
Just when the number plate was about to expire, a beggar walked in slowly from outside the door.
"I, Old Yu, also want to participate in the martial arts competition to win a bride!"
His long, dirty hair hung in front of his eyes, looking very greasy and disgusting.
And such a person, with a mouthful of old yellow teeth and a black body, actually wanted to declare that he would participate in the martial arts competition to win a bride?
Everyone in the audience was silent, and those who were close couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses, looking at the beggar with disgust.
The beggar didn't notice the unfriendly eyes of others, but walked around in a frivolous manner, still talking nonsense.
"I heard that there is a martial arts competition here to recruit a bride, so I came to join in the fun and see if I can marry a beautiful bride!"
Xiao Si heard this and clenched his fists. He wanted to rush out, but was stopped by Qin Qixuan.
Qin Qixuan also frowned.
Logically speaking, the venue is at the Royal Horse Farm, which has already prevented some inappropriate and questionable people from entering. How could a beggar come in?
It's not right.
But according to the rules, this beggar did not miss the latest queuing time...
