Chapter Eight Marriage(1/2)

After Qin Xi left the teahouse, he went to a pawn shop and pawned all the jewelry he had won, and got more than a thousand taels.

Although it's not much, I hope Lin Ruyu's expression will be happy when she finds out!

To share the happiness, he also gave each of the jade peach and pomegranate one hundred taels, which made them extremely happy.

Yutao said happily: "Girl, keep winning next time!"

Qin Xi smiled: "Okay! Let's go shopping!"

Then she went to a grocery store, a medicine store and a foreign trade store to buy various seeds and a few fishing rods.

After buying these things, she went home.

In the carriage, Yutao couldn't help but express her surprise and asked: "What's the use of buying so many seeds, girl?"

Last night, the girl asked her father to ask the caravan to collect more seeds from outside the customs. No matter what kind of seeds, vegetables, medicinal materials, flowers, fruits, spices, as long as they are seeds, it will be fine.

Qin Xi smiled: "Grow it! When you return home later, ask Uncle Feng to find a dental shop to see if there are any good villages, fields, or wasteland. I want to buy it."

But now she only has 10,000 taels of silver left in her savings, and is now in debt of 100,000 taels!

You still have to make money as soon as possible!

The caravan had already set off for a month, and she didn't know if they could successfully stop the goods and find the letter. She had to make more preparations.

Yutao: "......"

So the girl’s recent hobby is farming and fishing?

When Qin Xi bought Zhuangzi, he bought the land secretly, in order to leave a way out for the Qin family.

As for collecting various seeds, it was because there were many crops grown on the island that were not available in this dynasty, and she was just preparing them for future use.

Soon the carriage returned to the Qin Mansion, and Qin Tingyun also came back at this time.

"Dad." Qin Xi shouted.

Qin Tingyun was very happy to see Qin Xi: "Xi'er is back from dinner? Did you have fun? Is the food at the Summer Palace good?"

Of course Qin Xi was happy, Lin Ruyu must have fainted with anger at this moment!

She smiled and said, "The food at the Summer Palace is delicious. I even asked the waiter to send a portion back to my house for my parents to try. Where was dad this morning?"

Qin Tingyun could see that his daughter was really happy, and he was even happier. His meeting with Prince Jin went smoothly today!

Now that the matter has been settled, it's time to talk to my daughter.

Qin Tingyun said with a bright smile: "Dad is going to the Prince of Jin's Mansion today to discuss your marriage to Prince Jing."

Qin Xi: "......"

What the hell is her marriage to Prince Kyung?

This never happened in my previous life!

Jin Palace

King Jin took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, and then said: "Ten years ago, I saw that the little girl from the Qin family was lively, cute, and energetic, so I made an engagement with Brother Qin."

Princess Jin was a little confused after hearing what King Jin said: "I wonder which Qin family the prince is talking about?"

There is no one named Qin among the aristocratic families in Beijing!

"The Qin family of Jianghuai who just entered Beijing."

Princess Jin: "...the Qin family, the richest man in Jianghuai?"

Princess Jin asked with some uncertainty.

After all, even if a merchant's daughter marries into the palace as a concubine, her status will not be enough!

King Jin nodded: "Yes, Brother Qin is very kind to me."

So the prince wants to repay his kindness? After hearing this, Princess Jin pondered in her heart and said: "Then I want the prince to take her as his concubine?"

For a merchant girl to be a concubine for the prince of the Jin Dynasty, this is already a great gift.

The prince's purpose of repaying his kindness was also achieved.

Princess Jin was thinking that the Qin family was extremely wealthy, and that the crown prince’s concubine came from the Hanlin Academy and was the head of the Qing nobility.

It would also be nice to have a rich concubine.

King Jin frowned when he heard this, "Concubine? How could the princess think so!"

Isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?

What a bastard!

He wanted her to propose marriage to the fourth child!

The King of Jin was about to say that he had made a marriage contract and not a concubine, when a voice sounded: "Father, the king, mother and concubine, I don't want to take a concubine for the time being."

Taking a merchant girl as a concubine?

He doesn't want it!

Even if he doesn't choose his concubine from aristocratic families, he can choose him from among the powerful people in the capital. Why should he have to accept a businesswoman?

King Jin frowned.

The Crown Prince of Jin and Xiao Jingxuan walked in together at this time, and they bowed respectfully: "I have met my father, the king, and my mother's concubine."

Princess Jin smiled and said: "No courtesy, please sit down quickly!"

The prince of Jin sat down and emphasized again: "Father, I have just taken a concubine, and I don't want to take a concubine for the time being!"

Although the Qin family is rich, given his status, how many wealthy businessmen want to curry favor with him!

There is absolutely no need for him to marry a merchant girl for money.

Even if it is a concubine, he still wants to marry a concubine who is helpful.

King Jin blew his beard and glared: "You bastard! You have a good idea! If the Qin family girl becomes your concubine, then I, the king, will repay kindness with hatred!"

Qin Tingyun only had one daughter, but he doted on her like jewels! If he really dared to let his precious daughter be a concubine, it would definitely be enmity!

Qin Tingyun saved him back then, and even saved an entire army of soldiers! And over the years, Qin Tingyun has also helped him countless times.

He has made great contributions to defeating Xirong over the years, and Qin Tingyun definitely deserves a share of the credit!

Without his timely delivery of large amounts of food, grass, cotton-padded clothes, and medicinal materials several times in times of crisis, the army he led would have died of starvation, freezing, and illness before they were killed by the enemy!

Although he is just a businessman, he is much better than some civil servants in the court who only know how to fool around!

When Princess Jin and Prince Jin heard this, their identical eyes flashed with surprise: Your prince/father, do you want to take a concubine for yourself?

The King of Jin looked at Xiao Jingxuan and said without any surprise: "This marriage was decided for the fourth child back then, and he agreed to be his real wife."

Princess Jin and Prince Jin were even more surprised!

Both of them looked at Xiao Jingxuan.

Xiao Kyung-hyun took a medicinal bath for a day and a night before the rash subsided. Hearing this, he frowned: He has no plans to get married in this life!

Princess Jin was unsure and said: "My wife, the princess of the county?"

Although the fourth child was born as a concubine, he is now a county king personally appointed by the emperor!

Marry a businesswoman and become a county princess?

Is the prince right?

More importantly, this matter is not easy to handle!

She had already shown Prime Minister Kyung Hyun her eye on the eldest daughter of the Imperial College and made an appointment to see her.

That girl is the cousin of the Crown Princess, so the Crown Princess may be unhappy if she goes back on her word.

Prince Jin nodded: "Yes, Princess, find a day for the two of you to see each other."

He had indeed agreed on his first wife back then, and when he proposed an engagement between the two families, Qin Tingyun also knew that she couldn't afford it, so she politely refused, saying that she was reluctant to let her daughter become a concubine.

He then said she was his real wife.

He decided to get married not just to repay a favor, but because he admired Qin Tingyun as a person!

Although the Qin family is a merchant, in his eyes, there is no distinction between scholars, farmers, industry and commerce!

It only depends on character and ability.

Qin Tingyun is a very capable person with a good character!

The fourth child has such a father-in-law, and he will never be like me in the future, always worrying about insufficient military pay and soldiers not having enough to eat and clothing to keep warm!

Oh, by the way, he will also be able to enjoy the glory of his father in the future, and he can accept the military salary donated by Qin Tingyun with peace of mind!

Prince Jin glanced at his fourth brother sympathetically, and was secretly glad that he married early.

Otherwise, he would have to vomit blood if he married a businesswoman as his first wife!

Xiao Jingxuan frowned and said: "Father, I do not intend to marry."
