A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 529 Crisis
Concubine Xiao returned to the palace in the evening and brought back a jeweled hairpin, which was a gift that Second Master Luo insisted on giving to Xiao Fu.

This is a ruby ​​green leaf hairpin. The bright red gems are polished into thin pieces, carved into the shape of petals, and held together with gold wire.The stamens in the middle are made of rice beads strung with gold threads, and the flowers and leaves carved from emeralds are set against the lower ones.

Jewelry in the shape of gemstone flowers is quite common, but few are of such good quality: the ruby ​​red one looks like it is about to bleed, and the emerald leaves are even greener, as tender as if they were just plucked from the branches. .

Concubine Xiao had seen many good things, but she was still attracted by this hairpin at a glance. After a few excuses, she took the thing back.Then I put it in my daughter's hair, I really think Xiao Fu is more beautiful than Hua, the flower complements the beauty, it is indescribably beautiful!
"My daughter is worthy of the most beautiful jewelry and the best man in the world!" Looking at the eldest daughter in front of her who is just young and beautiful, thinking that her daughter's marriage is finally settled, Concubine Xiao is very happy.

Although Xiao Fu has never seen Second Master Luo, but hearing her own mother boast about it and seeing such a beautiful and expensive hairpin with her own eyes, she is also very happy, and can't wait to see Second Master Luo.

"Don't worry, mother will arrange for you to meet as soon as possible. Our palace doesn't believe in blind marriage. If my precious daughter doesn't like it, even if the emperor comes, I will not agree." Xiao side concubine Every happy event, the spirit is refreshed, and I don't know the heights of the world when I speak.

"Mother and concubine speak carefully—" Xiao Fu said shyly and joyfully, "In short, my daughter obeys you."

It was night, in Songtao courtyard, the murder case during the day had already been reported to Chang Ning and Xiao Qian.

"People commit suicide, and even Banlan can't stop them. Before they died, they wanted to follow Liu Qianqian and sneak into the palace." Chang Ning had already received the exact information from Banlan, and asked with some concern: "What do you think, Could it be sent from the capital?"

Ever since King Anhui ascended to the crown prince and Xiao Qian once again rejected the other party's solicitation, Chang Ning felt that the other party would definitely have a countermeasure.

"It's hard to say!" The matter has not been investigated clearly, and nothing can be confirmed, Xiao Qian thought for a while and could only say: "I have ordered that the security of Huining City be strengthened, and all suspicious persons will be detained.

It's just that because of the booming glass business, there are more merchants coming to Huining City from all over the country.Many of them came from the families of princes and nobles, and they brought many followers. If the problem is between these people, it is really difficult to find out.

"From today onwards, be careful when you go out and do things, and Liu Qianqian, try to protect yourself as much as possible." Xiao Qian instructed again.

"Liu Qianqian has beautiful guards, so it should be fine. There are many guards around me, and ordinary people can't do anything to me!" Chang Ning thought about the people who often go out in the mansion, and he knew it well, and replied: "Don't worry, I will take care of it. "

"Well, it's time to inspect the border again. The situation in Beirong is a bit chaotic this year. A small group of soldiers often harass the border residents. The substitute Yelu Qingcang and the princess are about to arrive at the border. In the next few days, I may have You won't be back for a while, take care of yourself."

"Take care too!" Chang Ning was a little worried about Xiao Qian, but he also knew that the border was an important place and he had to go.

She clenched his hand tightly, leaned against his arms for a while, sullen, then suddenly remembered that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, the guards had worked hard, since Xiao Qian was going to make an inspection tour, it was best to bring some good benefits.

"By the way, you should bring more money!" Chang Ning's glass business is booming these days, and her most firm request to all merchants who come to discuss cooperation or pick up goods is that they must pay in cash.

She doesn't care whether others bring gold or silver notes, anyway, when she arrives at Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, she only accepts cash, just for the convenience of paying military salaries in the future. .

During this period of time, she has earned a considerable amount of money. It is not enough to pay the army in the Northwest. It is still possible to add some annual gifts to the border guards.

"I know that concubine Ai is the most virtuous!" Hearing this, Xiao Qian hugged Chang Ning tightly in relief.

The imperial court has never been willing to pay the Northwest's army's full salary, and the government has tried to make up for the shortfall over the years.Now that he has a daughter-in-law who can make money, Xiao Qian feels much more relaxed.

"Honey, when Bei Rong is beaten away in two years and the court is stable, you don't have to work so hard to make money! We have two children in our spare time, preferably a boy and a girl, and then take them on a mountain tour Play in the water, live the life of idle clouds and wild cranes!"

This is the life Xiao Qian yearns for the most, and it is also what Chang Ning yearns for the most. They have been working hard for that day to come.

"Okay!" Chang Ning's response to Xiao Qian's was not only a sweet voice, but also a sweet and sweet kiss that he took the initiative to imprint.

After being turned into a red wave overnight, Xiao Qian began to pack his luggage the next day, and soon went to the border with his guards.

Changning, who is alone at home, reduces the chances of going out to meet guests. In his spare time, he either goes to see Liu Qianqian making perfume and soap, or goes to the glass workshop in the outer courtyard to participate in the design of new products.She seemed to be as calm and calm as before, but the hidden guards knew: since the eldest son left, there have been many new guards around the imperial concubine and in every corner of the palace.

Concubine Xiao had met Second Young Master Luo that day, and within a few days, through the matchmaker, arranged for Xiao Fu to meet Second Young Master Luo.

Needless to say, Xiao Fu's beauty and noble temperament raised in the palace since she was a child.The Second Master Luo is eight feet tall, has a dignified appearance, speaks fluent Beijing movies, and is full of the aura of wealth and wealth in the capital, which is quite lethal to a young girl.

So the two had no doubts, and immediately saw each other.

Compared with the ignorance raised in the deep boudoir with Xiao Fu, the second son Luo who ran all the way from the capital to the northwest can speak eloquently, with witty words, and is very good at making girls happy.In just one meal, Xiao Fu was coaxed to such an extent that she wished she could swear that she would not marry him.

"My parents are still in the capital, and I have to report this marriage to them. It's just that the distance to the capital is far away, and it might waste too much time to go back and forth. I will make my own decisions and get engaged to Fu'er first."

When we met next time, Second Master Luo hugged the delicate and soft little beauty in his arms, and coaxed him sweetly: "Let's arrange the engagement day by your family, and everything is under the orders of my wife and mother-in-law. "

"Damn ghost, I'm not married yet, who is your wife?" Even though she said that, Xiao Fu's voice was full of joy, and she replied: "After all, I am a member of the palace, so I have to report this matter to the concubine first." , Let’s discuss the day again!”

"It should be, but you want my husband and I to back up a generous gift to meet the concubine?"

"No need!" Xiao Fu said in her heart that Qin Changning would be taken advantage of by offering generous gifts, and Qin Changning was not in charge of her marriage anyway, so why should she be filial to her?

So, without saying a word, Xiao Fu's marriage was settled.
