Zhou Hao's marriage proposal went smoothly.
Liu Wan'er may have the idea of ​​trying to win over Gu Qianfan, but she not only did not object.
He also said a lot of good things to Zhou Hao, and even suggested that the officials ask the Ministry of Rites to organize the wedding.
Zhou Hao doesn’t care. If there is any benefit, he will keep it. It’s different whether he will do it or not.
The official marriage is one hundred times better than the Virtue of Ouyang Xu's wife.
The official even issued an order for the Ministry of Rites to organize Zhou Hao's wedding. You should know that only the royal members of the Ministry of Rites will intervene.
Gu Qianfan's treatment made many court officials jealous.
The Qingliu even cursed Gu Qianfan’s ancestors for the eighteen generations.
......
The half-covered face finally caused an accident.
The shopkeepers of twenty-seven tea shops in Chatangxiang came to make trouble.
Because of the innovative methods of attracting customers with half-covered faces, other tea shops have made the business bleak.
So Manager Hu from Qingmingfang connected with other twenty-six tea shops to come here to discuss the explanation.
A large group of old men rushed in with a whimper.
Zhao Paner quickly walked out of the counter and said politely: "Sorry, everyone, we are full of seats here."
The old man in black clothes and long beards in the lead is Hu Mingfeng and Manager Hu from Qingmingfang.
A hint of sarcasm flashed across his face and said, "It's so strange. Madam Zhao even cut off Su Niang's friends. She even pretended not to know us bosses in Tea Soup Alley?"
Su Niang is a pipa musician, and Qingmingfang invited her to fight against Song Yinzhang.
However, Su Niang was impressed by Song Yinzhang's pipa skills and became a disciple, so Hu Mingfeng rushed to come.
The guests present were all artful literati and poets, as well as some rich people who wanted to squeeze into the circle of literati.
After all, the consumption here is still very high.
There are two old men here who are very famous in the literati circle of Bianjing.
An old man dressed in a simple manner is called Yuan Tuntian, known as a master of poetry, but it has been more than 20 years.
There is also a Mr. Zhuoshi, who give people a feeling of being inseparable from Meng.
Mr. Zhuoshi came up and said hello and laughed, "Isn't this Manager Hu from Qingmingfang?"
He was reminding Zhao Paner.
Zhao Paner quickly saluted and said, "Shopkeeper Hu, what else can I do to teach you?"
Manager Hu shook his head: "The half-covered face is so beautiful, how dare we have any advice? We just came here to say hello to you. The way of tea in ancient times talked about the virtues of a gentleman, purity and harmony, but this half-covered face is arbitrary. Not only did it challenge the market at a high price, but it also came up with the despicable way of attracting customers by music and tea. This kind of laughter in brothels is simply a shame for the tea ceremony!"
Drinking a broken tea is just a pastime, and it also makes these people feel superior.
"that is!"
"She is too shameless."
"We are ashamed to join us!"
For a moment, the shopkeepers who followed him became loudly matched.
Zhao Paner's face looked extremely ugly. She was originally from the Jiaofangsi, and these words were pierced into her heart like a knife.
Manager Hu sneered at the tea guests around him and said, "So we advise all the distinguished guests, from tomorrow, we will not receive any distinguished guests who are half-covering their faces to enjoy themselves!"
Haha, I can't do business at first glance.
The teahouse is just a pastime, and even the restaurant does not dare to drive the guests out.
If there is no such thing as doing business, monopoly is not like this.
The tea shopkeepers all agreed.
Zhou Hao is not here. If he were here, he would definitely persuade Zhao Paner to kill all these people.
He paid the money and ran directly to their door to open a half-faced branch. Zhou Hao could even kill these shopkeepers with money.
Yuan Tuntian smiled and smoothed out the situation: "Why are we all neighbors? Today we are half-covering our faces. We will go to your Cha Tang Township Lane with our relatives and friends on a day."
The restaurant in Zhao Paner’s new apartment has been changed to a teahouse, so the location is not in Tea Soup Lane.
It’s not that these shopkeepers are worried, they have attracted all the tea drinkers.
It is a bit far from Tea Soup Lane, so even if the guests are full, the flow of tourists will not be able to share Tea Soup Lane.
Mr. Zhuoshi smiled and said, "Yes, Manager Hu is so kind to make money!"
Manager Hu said lightly: "Mr. Zhuoshi, don't be persuading me. There is a way of doing things differently. We are just businessmen, how can we compare with these lowly women who are in the walls and flowers and willows..."
Zhao Paner had evil eyes in his almond eyes. He was about to scold him but was interrupted by another scolding.
"Bold! The dog can't spit out ivory in its mouth. Who do you think is the willows in the walls and flowers!"
The speaker's voice is spy, but it has a sense of majesty.
Everyone looked at the door and saw a row of ceremonial guards walking in.
The front one holds the imperial edict with the left hand and the right hand is floating dust. At first glance, it is the father-in-law in the imperial city.
The eunuch held the imperial edict and shouted, "Open his old man's mouth for me, I see what else can he spit out from his mouth?"
"yes!"
A tall guard came forward, and the shopkeepers were so scared that they retreated one after another.
These businessmen must not dare to confront the government under their status.
The guard grabbed Manager Hu's collar and slapped him.
Soon, Manager Hu's face became swollen and blood began to emerge from his mouth.
Everyone dared not stop him, and Zhao Paner said a little unbearable: "Dadfather-in-law, show mercy!"
"Stop!" the eunuch shouted.
The guard threw Manager Hu, who was spitting teeth with blood foam in his mouth, to the ground.
Manager Hu is dizzy now and will not be able to remember it for a while.
The eunuch smiled and said, "But Zhao Paner, Miss Zhao, Qiantang, face to face?"
"The girl from the folk is Zhao Paner!"
The eunuch nodded and raised the imperial edict and shouted: "Zhao Paner receives the imperial edict!"
Boom! Before Zhao Pan'er could react, she had already knelt all over the ground.
Sun Sanniang quickly pulled Zhao Paner.
Zhao Paner then knelt down and said, "Minister Zhao Paner received the order!"
The eunuch carried out the imperial edict and read it: "Gu Qianfan, the lord of Qiantang County, has been upright since he became an official, and has made outstanding achievements. He is a pillar of the country. I heard that Zhao Paner, a daughter of the Zhao family in Qiantang, has both virtue and beauty, and is in harmony with the lord of Qiantang County, and is in love with each other. Therefore, the Grand Historian ordered the Grand Historian to draft this marriage imperial edict to show the great grace of the emperor and achieve a good marriage. Once this is issued, I hope everyone in the world knows it and wish everyone in the world congratulates this!"
Many people are confused after reading the imperial edict. Is this a marriage grant?
A female shopkeeper in a restaurant, a low-ranking businessman, would even get married by the emperor.
It's incredible that the other party is still a founding uncle.
If they knew that Zhao Paner was a good person, they would be even more depressed.
After Zhao Paner received the order to thank him, he felt a little dizzy.
Song Yinzhang helped him back to rest.
Sun Sanniang said happily: "Today, the owner is happy, all the tea and fruits are free!"
"good!"
The tea shopkeepers were happy, and the shopkeepers in the tea soup alley were irritated.
Manager Hu has been taken away to treat his injuries.
The other shopkeepers began to pester Sun Sanniang to apologize and put all the responsibility on Storekeeper Hu.
There was originally a wonderful tea competition, but it was directly ruined by the imperial edict.
They dare not make things difficult for half-covered face now.
At least I dare not come to bully this way.
At the beginning, it was just to see that Zhao Paner and the others came from another place and had no background to bully?
Now they can't even dare to borrow a hundred courages from them.
-------------------------------------
late at night.
Zhao Paner was lying on the window, holding her cheeks and looking at the moon in the sky.
What happened today shocked her.
In front of everyone's eyes, the imperial edict will be given to the marriage, and it is estimated that the entire Bianjing will spread all over tomorrow.
This kind of scenery has only made her recover until now.
Tomorrow, Najib (engagement) will be presented by the Ministry of Rites.
The Ministry of Rites is a matchmaker, and she still feels dreaming.
And she was waiting for Gu Qianfan to come and told her that all this was true, but Gu Qianfan didn't come tonight.
"Oh!" she sighed.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared, blocking the moonlight.
Chapter completed!
