Zhu Qiang's current image has been designed by Li Mai to be that of a guard wearing a half-silver mask.
The silver mask was made by Jin Yu Ge and features antique patterns, which adds to the mystery surrounding its owner.
In this way, the abnormality of his ears and eye would be less noticeable, and he would not always attract strange looks from others when he walked on the street.
Zhu Qiang really liked the new look Li Mai had designed for him, and he felt much more confident walking down the street behind Zhou Tao.
Zhou Tao's maid, named Qin'er by Zhou Tao, is three years older than Zhou Tao and is eighteen this year. Her daily tasks are to accompany Zhou Tao to her piano lessons, accompany her to practice piano at home, and take care of her daily life.
Actually, there was another story that happened when Zhou Quan went to buy her.
Originally, at the dentistry, Qin'er was first chosen by an old man in his sixties who wanted to buy her as a concubine. However, Qin'er preferred to be a servant rather than a concubine and refused.
At that time, the people at the brothel didn't want to keep her anymore and wanted to sell her. They tried to force her to do something, so Qin'er threatened to kill herself rather than become someone's concubine.
Zhou Quan happened to arrive at that time and told the people at the brokerage that he wanted to buy a maid for his sister. The people at the brokerage were having a headache, but when they heard Zhou Quan's words, they readily sold Qin'er to him.
Zhou Quan had bought people from their brokerage firm many times, so Zhou Quan was a good master and quite famous in town. The people at the brokerage firm were relieved this time. In fact, if they had a choice, they would naturally not want to sell a teenage girl to an old man.
If the old man wants to find someone to have a child, he can buy a woman who has been married before; at least that wouldn't be so unacceptable.
The old man saw that Zhou Quan had bought the person but didn't dare to stop him. He had personally witnessed Zhou Quan using kung fu to save people on the street and knew who he was. He really didn't dare to compete with him for the person and eventually left cursing.
Zhou Quan went back and told Li Mai about it, and Li Mai said she knew.
The next day, Li Mai arranged for Zhou Heng to visit the old man with gifts. The old man was a fur collector and trader.
Zhou Heng said that when his young master bought the girl, he did not know that she was the one he wanted to buy.
Then, Zhou Heng reached a cooperation agreement with the old man. In the future, if the old man received any good rabbit skin, sheep skin, or other animal fur, he could send it to Red Pomegranate. They would accept it all and the price would be absolutely fair.
The old man knew that Zhou Heng was trying to reconcile with him and didn't want to cause any trouble, so he naturally took this opportunity to back down.
Actually, the old man is quite old. His wife gave birth to three daughters for him when she was young, but not a single son. Now that he's old and has some savings, he's itching to buy a young woman to be his concubine and have a son for him.
It seemed he had gone at the wrong time. He decided to go to the dental clinic another day to avoid the time when Zhou Quan went to buy people.
...
On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, Yun Chang and Xu Changhuan got married. Yun Chang rode a horse and led a bridal sedan chair around the streets, bringing Xu Changhuan from the mansion in Limai back to her own mansion.
After the wedding ceremony, everyone enjoyed a celebratory banquet at the Yun residence.
There were quite a few people attending today. Members of the Lu, Xu, and Zhou families were all present. In addition, there was the county magistrate from Yingzhou City, the local governor, the town's assistant, and Xu Changle and An Nanyang with their children.
In addition, Chu Yan and Zhong Hui had just invited their craftsmen from the Ministry of Works back yesterday. Before they could even start working, they happened to arrive just in time to attend Prince Yun's wedding banquet. These two officials were overjoyed, as they were the only two Beijing officials to attend the prince's wedding.
With so many officials present and people calling her "Prince" and "Princess," Yun Chang's identity could no longer be concealed.
Only then did everyone realize that Li Mai's sworn brother, Yun Chang, was actually the only non-royal prince, Yun Chang, who was famous throughout the court and the country.
The Emperor also gave Yun Chang a secret decree, instructing him to do his utmost to assist and protect the two officials and their men in their gold mining expedition.
Moreover, this matter must be kept secret until a large gold deposit has been thoroughly detected.
Yun Chang was delighted with this secret decree, as it meant he could now stay in Qing Shi Town as ordered. Since he had just gotten married, he could also spend every day with his beloved wife.
Yun Chang had guessed that if a gold mine was indeed found here, he would likely build a military camp nearby and station people to guard the area.
If there is no war, he will try to stay here and garrison troops to personally protect the gold mine.
When Yun Chang's identity was revealed, the Lu and Xu families were the happiest.
After returning to their homes, the two families held an emergency family meeting. They once again felt that their family members had made a good choice and decided to become in-laws with the Zhou family.
Yun Chang had lived in this town for several months, and they had all heard how good he was to Li Mai's sister. The thought that they had become in-laws with the King of Yun's sister and relatives with the King of Yun made them feel that their own family had become much more prestigious.
However, as the heads of the family, Master Lu and Master Xu also warned their children that they must never do anything outside, such as bullying men or women or using the name of Prince Yun to do things. Otherwise, if they offend Prince Yun, they will ruin the entire family.
The children in the family immediately tensed up; naturally, they dared not do it.
The Zhou family knew the identity of the Prince of Yun, yet they always acted so discreetly. They were merely his in-laws; what could they possibly do?
However, the Lu and Xu families were still very happy to think that they had become distant relatives with the Prince of Yun.
