Let's look at the third person, Wanshan. He's 32 years old and served five years in prison for illegally manufacturing firearms and ammunition. He originally made the guns for hunting at home, but they were discovered by a friend and reported. After his release, his wife divorced him and the child was awarded to her. He now spends his days wandering around, drinking, fighting, and causing trouble.
All three of these men had been incarcerated. Either their families were extinct or they had few relatives to associate with. Zhao Xiaofei thought, "These people shouldn't have any trouble coming to me." He'd find them wives and each one a courtyard house. If one wife isn't enough, he'd find more until they're satisfied.
So he said hello to Princess Kunxing and Li Sihong, went to Yanyu Tower, and called his eldest brother after traveling through time.
"Hey! Brother, I've looked at the last list and it's quite reliable. Let these three people come to me first. I plan to talk to them." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Okay! I'll inform them right away. When will we meet?" Zhao Xiaokun asked.
"3 days later! I will travel through time on time in three days! Let them gather at the door at 8 o'clock in the evening!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Okay! No problem!" Zhao Xiaokun hung up the phone and went to make arrangements.
Zhao Xiaofei called to check out the goods that his elder brother had prepared in the yard and take them back with him. Xiao Wu escorted the goods to Ronghuazhai. Zhao Xiaofei went straight to the living room. Just as he sat down to drink some tea, Xiao Wen came in and said, "Master! Master Tian Hongyu sent a letter and wants to see you."
Zhao Xiaofei took the note and thought, "Why are you looking for me? Are you asking about Concubine Tian's condition? I remember you were supposed to pass away this year, so why are you still coming to me?"
"Please let him in!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
Xiao Wen went downstairs, and soon an old man in gorgeous clothes came in. He bowed to Zhao Xiaofei and said, "I greet the Prince Consort!"
Zhao Xiaofei stood up and returned the greeting, "Greetings, Commander Tian! Please take a seat!"
The two of them sat down as host and guest, and Zhao Xiaofei was the first to ask, "What business has Commander Tian brought to me at this hour?"
"I want to ask about my daughter's condition. I'm very worried!" Tian Hongyu said calmly.
Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself, "You're really worried that your daughter will be gone and you'll lose the emperor's favor. How come I didn't see that you were worried?"
"Lord Tian, there's really nothing we can do about the imperial concubine's sick boy! We can only delay it as long as possible! As for how long it can be delayed, I can't guarantee it." Zhao Xiaofei wanted to see if he could extort some money from this old guy.
"What? My daughter is actually?" Tian Hongyu was a little anxious this time.
"Alas! Beautiful women have always been short-lived! Lord Tian should be mentally prepared!" Zhao Xiaofei said with a sigh.
"Then, Prince Consort, how long can your medicine help my poor daughter last?" Tian Hongyu asked.
"At least one or two months, at most until July," said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Thank you, Prince Consort. I would like to express my gratitude here." Tian Hongyu bowed and saluted. Zhao Xiaofei did not dare to accept it and dodged to the side. Tian Hongyu said to the people outside: "Come in and show your Prince Consort!"
As Tian Hongyu finished speaking, a woman walked in carrying a tray. The tray was covered with a red cloth. Tian Hongyu removed the cloth, revealing several scrolls on top. They were probably calligraphy and paintings, along with a few pieces of paper, but he didn't know what they were.
Zhao Xiaofei pointed at the plate and asked, "What does this mean, Master Tian?"
Tian Hongyu smiled and said, "Please accept them, my dear husband! I know you like antiques, calligraphy and paintings, so I specially selected a few fine pieces from my home to give to you, my dear husband. Also, this girl is only 28 years old. She is quite pretty, and I am willing to give her to you, my dear husband. There are a few more waiting outside. These are their indentures. They are all innocent. I just hope that my dear husband will pay more attention to my daughter's illness."
"Of course! Of course!" Zhao Xiaofei said. His heart was filled with joy. The calligraphy and painting are great! I'll ask Lan Banzhang to help me figure out how much it's worth.
"But this beauty, I..." Zhao Xiaofei took a closer look. She was truly beautiful. He was speechless. She was almost as pretty as the young models of later generations. How many more were there? This time, he didn't have to spend money to find wives for those guys; someone would come to him directly. It saved him a lot of money and effort.
"I will do my best! Please rest assured, Lord Tian! However, I still hope that if Lord Tian has the chance, he will visit the palace more often to see Concubine Tian. It will help stabilize her emotions and delay the time." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"I understand! Thank you, Your Highness! I will take my leave first and will not disturb your rest." Tian Hongyu said and bowed to say goodbye.
Zhao Xiaofei saw him out the door. Just as he turned around, he saw Princess Kunxing holding a bow and pouting, "How are you, Prince Consort? The beauties Lord Tian sent are all incredibly beautiful. How about I pick one out for you and see which one you want to sleep with?"
Zhao Xiaofei thought, "Jealous? This is so sour! She even calls herself this princess."
