Chapter 1107 White Tea's Marriage
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ziyuan walked towards Lin Yuesha. He took out the handkerchief he always carried with him, gently touched the corner of Lin Yuesha's lips, and said softly, "It's been years since we last met. Little girl, you're still the same as before. Look at you, your mouth is covered in sauce."
People around were watching, and some girls couldn't help but exclaim, "I wish I were that beautiful girl!"
Because she was to be married off from Cangzhou, Lin Yuesha styled her hair in a girlish bun. Ziyuan's actions were so ambiguous that they made the onlookers blush and their hearts race, but no one reprimanded him for his rudeness.
Good-looking people can get away with being rude.
Everyone has a love for beauty. Lin Yuesha had coveted Ziyuan's beauty, but it turned out that such a beautiful person was a man. Lin Yuesha felt sorry that perhaps God had made a mistake in gender.
"Ziyuan, what are you doing in Cangzhou?"
Xu Da stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Yuesha.
Judging from the location where Ziyuan appeared, it's as if she had an ulterior motive. Qi Heng had just left, and Ziyuan appeared right after. What a coincidence!
"This is not the place to talk. Let's find a quiet place."
Ziyuan suggested that he had a courtyard in Cangzhou, which was only a 15-minute walk from the market.
The Zi family was incredibly wealthy, owning courtyards in almost every city and employing thousands of servants. Cangzhou was a prosperous city, and while the Zi family's residence appeared ordinary on the outside, it was extremely luxurious inside, with the floor practically paved with gold bricks.
"With your flamboyant looks, where can you find peace and quiet?"
Xu Da curled his lip and said with extreme disdain.
"What, Lord Xu, you already have the title of Consort Xu, or are you jealous of my beauty?"
Ziyuan stroked her long hair in front of her chest, smiling smugly.
His smile immediately caused those around him to hold their breath and stare wide-eyed at the scene, which then caused a commotion.
"Ziyuan, stop trying to glorify yourself."
Qi Heng is a scoundrel, but that doesn't mean Zi Yuan is innocent. Both of them are wolves; sending Lin Yuesha there is like sending a lamb to the slaughter.
Xu Da thought of Yuwen Kun, who was still hung up on his cousin, and couldn't help but rub his temples. If he had to choose one of the three, he would still choose Qi Heng, at least he was a little more normal.
Upon realizing this, Xu Da immediately took sides, denying that his choice was out of fear of Qi Heng.
A comparison of the three reveals their respective strengths and weaknesses, with Qi Heng emerging victorious by a narrow margin.
"Let's go then."
Standing in the marketplace, surrounded by onlookers like monkeys, even Lin Yuesha's thick skin couldn't take it anymore, so she chose to temporarily escape.
Ziyuan flicked her sleeves and led the way. When they reached the back of the house, there were still onlookers squatting outside, unwilling to leave.
The night breeze was cool. Ziyuan invited Lin Yuesha and Xu Da into the waterside pavilion, where servants immediately served fruits, tea, and snacks, filling the table to the brim.
"Sister Yue Sha, try this."
Lin Yuesha loved food. When Ziyuan learned of this, he searched for recipes all over the country. When he passed through a small town, he happened to eat hawthorn cakes that he had bought from Qilu. They were sweet and sour and very appetizing.
Eating too much for dinner can easily lead to indigestion, so Ziyuan brought over the plate of snacks.
After Lin Yuesha took it, she broke off a small piece. Inside, you could see hawthorn-like fruit pulp. She chopped up the hawthorn pulp and used it as filling in the old-fashioned soft biscuit. The soft and chewy fruit pulp was delicious.
"Tch, those who offer unsolicited favors are either treacherous or thieves."
Xu Da was ignored, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Get to the point. It's getting late, and I still need to take my cousin back to the inn."
"You know it's getting late, so why aren't those playboys from the capital going to brothels? Why are they lingering here?"
When it comes to wit, Ziyuan never loses; Xu Da was his defeated opponent.
Upon hearing this, Xu Da was immediately furious. He was a man who always kept himself pure and never went to such filthy places, while Zi Yuan was practically born in a brothel.
"Without you, the most beautiful courtesan, how could I possibly be interested in those ordinary beauties?"
Xu Da subtly hinted at Zi Yuan's secret, secretly pleased. He was reminding Lin Yuesha that Zi Yuan not only ran an illegal clinic to make money unethically, but had also once sold herself in a brothel.
It's best to stay away from people like that.
"So, you've always coveted my good looks, you just wouldn't admit it before."
Ziyuan touched her face and sighed. Countless people wanted to have him and possess him, but none could succeed.
He is not gay; he is only interested in women. His future wife will either be more beautiful than him or very interesting.
Xu Da was about to retort when Lin Yuesha grabbed his sleeve and looked at Ziyuan, asking, "Didn't you say you had important business to attend to?"
"It's important business."
Ziyuan continued, "Over the years, Qilu and I have traveled all over the country and depended on each other for survival, but he is already over twenty years old and it is time for him to get married and have children."
Qi Lu gave Bai Cha the hairpin left by his mother as an engagement token. Several years passed in the blink of an eye, and Zi Yuan wanted to talk to Lin Yue Sha about their marriage.
"I'll have to ask about the meaning of white tea."
Lin Yuesha had already told her maid that she would make her own decision about marriage. If she wanted to get married, she would immediately hand over the indenture and give her a dowry.
Bai Cha was one of the first maids we bought. She was very loyal, and if she could marry into Qi Lu, it would be a good match.
"Both Baicha and Qilu are here. I'll have my servants call them over."
Ziyuan beckoned to the servants waiting nearby, and then Baicha walked to the waterside pavilion with her head down.
She had just spotted a ring-shaped jade pendant at the stall, when a hand reached out from the side and chose the same pendant. When Bai Cha looked up, she was surprised to see Qi Lu.
For a moment, Bai Cha's eyes reddened.
Over the years, the two have been separated by the north and south, communicating only through letters. Bai Cha believed that Qi Lu had already married.
"I'm not married, I'm waiting for you."
Qi Lu is a man of few words, but he is sincere. He will ask Lin Yuesha's opinion and, after completing all the formalities, then marry Bai Cha.
"Bai Cha, if I were to marry you off to Qi Lu, would you be willing?"
Lin Yuesha stated that she had no objections, but hoped that Bai Cha would think carefully about such a major decision as marriage.
“Miss, I am willing.”
After Bai Cha finished speaking, her face turned bright red, and even the roots of her ears turned red.
After marrying Qi Lu, she hoped to continue serving by the young lady's side and hoped that Lin Yuesha would not abandon her.
"good."
Lin Yuesha readily agreed, and she discussed the rest with Ziyuan.
"After Bai Cha got married, she stayed in the capital. In the inner city, Qi Lu had a small two-courtyard house."
Land in the inner city of the capital is extremely valuable, and Lin Yuesha had previously purchased a house there, spending a fortune and finding such a place was extremely difficult.
Qi Lu prepared a courtyard in the inner city for Bai Cha's marriage, which at least showed the importance he attached to the marriage.
Ziyuan was very generous. Bai Cha was just a maid, but that didn't stop him from spending money. He then sent people to the north to bring all of Bai Cha's relatives to the capital to attend the ceremony.
"If Bai Cha's family is willing, they can stay in Beijing. I will provide them with farmland or a courtyard."
As for the rest of the dowry, it depends on Lin Yuesha's requirements; money is not a problem, as this shows Qilu's sincerity.
