Chapter 218 Rejecting a Concubine
When Chu Tiankuo once again asked about Weiwu Hou in the military camp, he was taken back to the capital by Weiwu Hou on horseback.
After the two went to Chu Tiankuo's restaurant in Nanfang and found a secret private room, Marquis Weiwu talked about sending concubines to Chu Tiankuo.
After listening to it, Chu Tiankuo refused with a dark face.
However, Weiwu Hou only thought that Chu Tiankuo was newlywed and was embarrassed to take his concubine immediately, so he stood from the perspective of the same man and kept persuading him.
What I say is just a concubine. If you like it, go there a few more times; if you don’t like it, just keep it as a kitten and a puppy.
What else did he say? When he saw Jiang Zhixia being well-educated, he must have been virtuous and kind.
Chu Tiankuo's face turned darker as he listened to these words.
Finally, when Marquis Weiwu saw that Chu Tiankuo's face became worse and worse, he seemed to be really determined to refuse, he stopped embarrassedly.
Although Chu Tiankuo was in a bad mood, Weiwu Hou was always his adoptive father and his commander.
Therefore, in order to avoid embarrassment, he still asked the shopkeeper to serve good wine and drink a good meal with Weiwuhou.
So he also learned that the matter of being Cheng'enhou's parent-child is probably spreading among the great families.
Finally, he looked complicated and sent the drunk Marquis of Weiwu back to the Marquis of Weiwu.
After sending the person, he cried and went home to find Jiang Zhixia for comfort.
After Chu Tiankuo returned home, he did not dare to hide it from Jiang Zhixia. This kind of thing could not be hidden from him.
Instead of waiting until someone else passes this to Zhixia's ears and makes her angry, it's better for him to give it an explanation.
So Chu Tiankuo said the whole story of Weiwu Hou giving him a concubine.
After hearing this, Jiang Zhixia stared at Chu Tiankuo for a long time.
Chu Tiankuo looked so stupid that he couldn't help but ask, "Madam, what are you looking at?"
"It seems that your charm is not diminished. If I remember correctly, Miss Zhu Chou will be in love with you during the March outing festival? In June and July, Mrs. Weiwu proposed marriage to you. Now, it is halfway through November, and more than half a year has passed. She has not yet married and has taken you as a target again."
Jiang Zhixia joked with a smile.
Chu Tiankuo was so funny that he was joking by Jiang Zhixia, so he had to argue helplessly: "I refuse this every time."
Jiang Zhixia chuckled with her mouth.
At this moment, she naturally believed in Chu Tiankuo.
"But I also learned from Marquis Weiwu that my relationship with Marquis Cheng'en's mansion has slowly spread among these high-ranking families. If so..."
Chu Tiankuo pondered and said nothing.
Although he didn't say anything, Jiang Zhixia also understood Chu Tiankuo's meaning.
Now, because Chu Tiankuo has not yet let go, these high-ranking families are waiting and watching.
Some people who are flexible in their minds, like Weiwuhou, want to get closer to him.
What we are afraid of now is not these high-ranking families, but people in the palace.
Since I went to the palace to meet at the tenth day of the lunar month, the palace has become quiet. But the more this happens, the more worried it will be if the palace will issue a direct order.
"I can only go back to the army and make the Marquis of Weiwu a few more times to see if I can transfer me back to the border town as soon as possible."
Finally, Chu Tiankuo said in a summary.
I can only work hard, but the result of the matter is not something they can decide.
Speaking of this, the two of them put aside this topic.
The two discussed the sales of wine, the situation of peppers, and the matter of muscular flowers.
The sales of wine have always been good.
Nowadays, because the amount of wine is scarce, the price is naturally increased. As a result, people who like it still come to buy it.
The situation of Fanjiao is much better than expected.
Because Jiang Zhixia had money, after getting married, she arranged for people to find craftsmen and built several greenhouses behind the hot spring house. Therefore, the peppers in the greenhouse matured very quickly.
Nowadays, the amount of restaurants is enough.
So, Jiang Zhixia asked Xiaoman to make the pepper sauce into various flavors of pepper sauce and spicy hotpot bases, which beef pepper sauce, pork pepper sauce, and mushroom pepper sauce.
Xiaoman is indeed more skilled than her mother's cooking skills. Jiang Zhixia proposed a general idea. Xiaoman could achieve results after a few days of struggling in the kitchen.
So, Jiang Zhixia bought a new servant and arranged to make kesauerkraut and spicy hotpot base directly in the farm - anyway, the place there is big.
As for the pepper sauce and spicy hot pot base, they were naturally sold in Chutiankuo’s restaurant.
Because Zhu Cuilou earned a lot of money, Chu Tiankuo regarded the restaurant as one of the sources of the news. Therefore, he opened a restaurant semi-colon in Beifang.
Chu Tiankuo also planned to open a few semicolons in other lively prefectures. Anyway, he had someone to watch.
On the contrary, the situation of Mumianhua is not particularly good. Although those men followed the merchants to Yazhou, there were no merchants who went directly to Yazhou.
So, they walked and asked, and the journey slowed down.
In addition, winter is coming, although there is less snow in the south, it is rainy, so the journey is quite difficult.
Now, it has been more than three months. I received a letter a while ago. They said that they were still waiting for the rain to stop in a small town that Jiang Zhixia didn’t know.
"Oh, I don't expect too much, I just hope that I can have time to sow in March and April next year."
Jiang Zhixia sighed and said.
Traveling today is indeed extremely difficult.
After talking about her own business, Jiang Zhixia talked about her newly opened rouge and water powder shop, "Flower Rhyme Beauty Face".
Jiang Zhixia specially made a sign with satin cloth, and then hired someone to circle around the street. Everyone saw the words on it that contain no lead powder, no cinnabar, made of pure natural flowers and plants, non-toxic and harmless.
Curious, I asked more questions.
As a result, there were more people in the shop. After all, no one wanted to get infected with toxins.
The two of them were talking about business matters in detail, and for a moment, there were bursts of laughter in the room.
Not to mention, Chu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia laughed and laughed here.
Just say that after the drunk Marquis of Weiwu returned to the backyard, he ignored the wife of Marquis of Weiwu and Miss Zhu who were waiting eagerly in the main hall, and fell asleep directly on the bed.
Mrs. Weiwuhou looked at the drunk and unconscious Marquis, and could only helplessly comfort Miss Zhu.
"There must be no problem this time. I have asked you, a grandma, to be a concubine. Then Chu Tiankuo can no longer be ignorant of raising your praises. Let's wait for your uncle to wake up and ask in detail which day to carry you into the introduction."
Miss Zhu nodded shyly.
Now that my uncle and my uncle are just taking a concubine, there must be no problem.
So she shyly said goodbye to Mrs. Weiwuhou and returned to her yard.
Unexpectedly, when Marquis of Weiwu woke up the next day, Miss Zhu Biao learned about her rejection again.
When she heard the news that Weiwuhou said in person, she barely supported herself and said goodbye to Weiwuhou and Weiwuhou's wife.
