The news that Bai Zhirou had been granted fiefdom and fiefdom, and that she had been granted marriage to Chen Zhao by the emperor spread like wildfire to every corner of the capital.
Even three-year-old children know the title and legendary deeds of Princess Mingzhu.
Such extraordinary women are rare in the world, and she is indeed worthy of the Queen Mother's favor.
All the men, whether unmarried or married, sighed and lamented that they had not been able to meet Princess Mingzhu.
What an honor it would be to accomplish a good thing with it!
Maybe the whole family will rise to prominence thanks to him!
But the dandy Shen Zhaoding, who was looked down upon by many women in the capital, decided it!
What is this?
The women all looked down on Chen Zhao, but the men were very envious of him.
He has identity, status, power and wealth. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. When he was born, he was already standing at a peak that ordinary people could never surpass in their lifetime.
At the same time, the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife were busy preparing the betrothal ceremony for Shen Zhao.
Shen Ruyi was also helping to give advice and was also very interested in this young sister-in-law.
But when the couple got off the carriage at the gate of Prince Rong's Mansion, they suddenly remembered that they had just come here a few days ago to personally cancel the marriage of someone else's daughter!
They came today for another wedding, and both of them were not very happy.
But as men, this is a process they must go through!
An extreme tug-of-war between parents begins
......
An hour later, Mingcui drove the carriage slowly into the quiet and remote village.
Fortunately, it was a sunny day and the road was not muddy, so they had a relatively smooth journey.
The rolling yellow soil made Mingcui look a little dusty.
When people in the small village saw the horse and the carriage, their eyes lit up.
As the lowest-class villagers, they cannot even afford a donkey cart. Often only the richest families in the village can afford one.
So Mingcui drove the carriage into the village, attracting the attention of all the villagers.
A trace of panic gradually appeared on her face. Even in the small villages in the south of the Yangtze River, she had never seen such a terrifying look in the eyes and faces of the villagers.
Bai Zhirou quietly lifted the curtain and took a look, her heart trembling slightly.
Fortunately, they just followed and didn't do anything terrible.
The carriage stopped under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, and the men, women, and children who had been following it all the way also stopped.
"Excuse me, fellow villagers, is there a family with the surname Qiu here?" Mingcui asked, holding the reins tightly and straightening her back.
When the villagers heard this, they looked at each other in confusion, and everyone's eyes fell on a young man.
"Do you have something to do with someone named Qiu?" He looked at Ming Cui repeatedly to confirm that he didn't know her.
Bai Zhirou knew it was her turn to perform, so she asked Mingcui to move a stool and got off the carriage.
As soon as she appeared, everyone looked at her straight, with surprise and admiration in their eyes, and some people even held their breath subconsciously.
When the man saw her, his eyes were full of astonishment.
She came as expected!
"I'm looking for Brother Qiu, and I'd like to ask this brother to introduce me to him." Bai Zhirou bowed slightly.
The man saw that she was dressed so richly and was so polite, but at this moment she seemed not to recognize him and thought she was an honest person.
So he took the two of them to the end of the village.
The man informed Bai Zhirou on the way that Brother Qiu’s wife had no idea that he and others were doing such a dangerous and life-threatening thing!
So don't let anything slip when you talk later.
When Bai Zhirou arrived at the Qiu family's house, she had never seen such a dilapidated yard before. The inside was clean and tidy, as if there were traces of a woman living there.
"Sister-in-law, come out quickly. There are guests at home. Where is my brother?" The man jumped off the carriage and immediately ran into the yard.
Soon a woman in a skirt came out of the room. Her clothes were patched with patches and her face was yellow and dull, except for her pair of bright eyes, which made her look a bit spiritual.
After the two talked for a while, Mingcui and Bai Zhirou were invited in for tea. The man removed the threshold, pulled the carriage in, then installed the threshold and closed the door, blocking out the villagers' puzzled eyes.
Bai Zhirou started talking to the woman and learned that Brother Qiu had gone to the mountains to collect firewood and would be back soon. She then asked Bai Zhirou why she had come.
Bai Zhirou only said that they had business dealings, but she was not willing to elaborate on what the business was.
The woman understood and cooked for the two of them herself.
As soon as we arrived at the restaurant, Brother Qiu came back with someone following him.
As soon as he entered the room, the man came up to him and told him something. As soon as the three of them entered the room, they solemnly apologized to Bai Zhirou.
The dishes came one after another. Bai Zhirou didn't drink alcohol when she was outside, so she gave them tea instead of wine to forgive them this time.
"Brother Qiu, why don't you change your career? I'm just in need of a few guards." Bai Zhirou went straight to the point.
Qiu Tong, Ma Da and Liu Bai looked at each other, thought for a moment and then agreed.
This is a job that is risky. It's okay if you do it once or twice, but if you do it too many times, you will definitely be caught and beheaded in public.
And who doesn’t know that Bai Zhirou is the most noble princess at the moment!
"Actually, this vote from the princess is our first order..." Ma Da scratched his head awkwardly.
Bai Zhirou: ...
What a great first order!
Moreover, they ran away halfway before even finishing the first order.
Bai Zhirou almost choked on her own saliva.
Mrs. Qiu was very considerate and poured her some water.
The matter was settled, and both parties agreed that Qiu Tong would bring his two brothers to the Princess's Mansion to work three days later.
Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much, and it was almost dusk when they were about to leave.
As soon as the carriage reached the entrance of the village, they saw a group of people and horses heading towards them at a leisurely pace.
Ming Cui narrowed her eyes and saw that the person walking in front was her future son-in-law, Shen Zhao.
"What is he doing here?" Bai Zhirou looked at the car curtain in confusion.
"I don't know." While the two were talking, Chen Zhao had already arrived. Ming Cui pulled the reins to stop the carriage, and Qiu Tong and others also stopped.
Chen Zhao naturally recognized Ming Cui, so the person sitting in the carriage should be Bai Zhirou.
Thinking of Bai Zhirou, his face actually turned red. Although he was a playboy, he had seen many courtesans!
"Mr. Chen, why did you come to this remote village at this time?" Bai Zhirou asked.
"I'm a playboy, of course I'm here for fun." Chen Zhao came to his senses and couldn't control his mouth. "You and I haven't even gotten married yet, and you're trying to control me. Isn't that too much?"
As soon as he finished saying this, he slapped himself a few times.
What the hell is this talking about!
It was clearly he who said he wanted to marry her before, but now he is accusing her of meddling in other people's affairs.
Bai Zhirou was speechless.
"Ahem, what I mean is, why don't we go sightseeing together? I heard from my friends that the lotus pond here is particularly beautiful." Chen Zhao began to make amends.
