The capital is really charming in terms of wealth and wealth. There are noble and wealthy families all over the place. Every house has high walls and rich doors. The mansions and courtyards are lined up in rows. The capital seems to be a gathering place for powerful people.
Daughters from such a wealthy family should usually have no worries about getting married, but there is an exception.
Outside the door of a magnificent house, there were waves of chasing sounds.
"Miss, miss, please stop quickly. You have screwed up the drafts of the three princes this month. It's the last time today. If you don't go, I'm afraid your reputation will be ruined and you won't be able to marry!"
The maid ran after Qu Xiaonan in front of her, with an anxious look on her face.
However, Qu Xiaonan seemed not to hear her words and kept running forward without slowing down. Finally, she was panting and couldn't run anymore. Then she slowly turned around and said, "I'm still young, but my parents are so worried."
Why am I getting married?"
Qu Xiaonan's head and face were covered with sweat. Anyway, he resisted participating in the talent show for the princes. His innocent and pretty face was also covered with beads of sweat.
"Miss, you are already twenty-one years old. The noble daughters of your age have several children. If you don't get married, you really won't be able to get married." The maid said while wiping her sweat.
"I don't want to marry a bunch of dandy princes. They are all princes with such bad tempers. My parents even asked me to choose their first concubine. I really don't know what I think." Qu Xiaonan pouted and huffed.
Hummed.
"But even if you don't want to marry, you can't be so rude. Last time you put a flowerpot on the third prince's head. If word spreads about it, who would dare to marry a young lady!" the maid said with a worried look.
While the maid was pleading with Qu Xiaonan, Qu Wenzhou's Minister Qu had just arrived home and saw Qu Xiaonan shouting and making a fuss.
Seeing her father come back, Qu Xiaonan's eyes lit up and she immediately ran over and hugged her father's arm: "Dad, my daughter doesn't have to worry about getting married. Why do you always let your daughter enter the draft?"
"Don't worry about getting married? Do you know how bad your reputation is now? You are such a busy third prince, and there are so many rich kids watching here. After watching this, who still wants to marry you? Who still likes you?" Qu Wenzhou
He lectured with a straight face.
"I don't care, I don't like it." Qu Xiaonan pouted and said.
"Nonsense! This matter is not up to you! You must get married as soon as possible. With your reputation so bad, no one will dare to want you in the future." Qu Wenzhou shouted fiercely.
"Dad, do you mean that your daughter won't be able to get married? Do you believe that her daughter will be able to find a husband as soon as she leaves home?" Qu Xiaonan said like a bet.
"Dream! If you're like you, it's good if you don't pay for it. How much dowry should I pay for you before someone is willing to marry you, a domineering and naughty little monkey!" Qu Wenzhou looked like he hated the iron.
"You! Dad, don't you believe it? I'll go out and find you a son-in-law who can ride a dragon and come back soon!" Qu Xiaonan looked at Qu Wenzhou angrily and walked away.
"Hey! You!" Qu Wenzhou pointed at Qu Xiaonan's stubborn back and sighed, but then shook his head. He knew his daughter's temper all too well.
It is really difficult for Qu Xiaonan to get married. Anyone who has heard of her name in the capital will avoid her. Even the princes who covet beauty will take a detour when they hear Qu Xiaonan's name.
Therefore, Qu Xiaonan's marriage has been postponed to this day. Qu Xiaonan is getting older and older. Although she is only twenty-one years old, she is not as easy to marry as those girls who are seventeen or eighteen years old.
Qu Shangshu could not help but envy the ministers of his age, all of whom had grandchildren in their arms, but he only had one daughter, Qu Xiaonan, who was still unmarried.
"We can't let her continue to behave like this, otherwise my face will be completely embarrassed by her." Qu Wenzhou thought secretly.
Qu Xiaonan ran to the street alone, looking at the lively scene around him, and suddenly felt irritable in his heart. He remembered that no one wanted him, and became even more angry. He thought of those unlearned and unskilled princes, and thought of himself.
Being forced by my parents, I suddenly felt angry.
I thought in my heart that I must find a good husband today, so as to open the eyes of those who look down on her for not getting married in her twenties, and to avoid being laughed at in the future.
Qu Xiaonan was thinking about it while wandering around the street. When she saw a blank sign, she came up with a plan and stepped forward to grab a sign.
"I must choose a good husband today." Looking at the sign in his hand, a sly look appeared on Qu Xiaonan's face.
Qu Xiaonan, a daughter of a noble family, actually went out on the street to recruit brides. The sign on the sign said that young men from all walks of life were welcome to come and see each other.
In an instant, people from the whole street gathered around. Most of them came to see Qu Xiaonan's jokes, and some wanted to show off their talents. But there were also some people who were desperate for Qu Xiaonan's appearance.
Come.
Qu Xiaonan felt happy being surrounded by these young talents. She was worried about not finding her right husband.
Unexpectedly, not long after he was proud, a tall and tall man, dressed in black, with a jade crown on his head and clear features, suddenly squeezed out of the crowd and rushed into the street on a fierce horse, disturbing the people around him.
They all ran away, fearing that they would be trampled by horses.
Qu Xiaonan didn't know why they all backed away. When he turned back, he saw that the horse was disobedient. It came up and kicked Qu Xiaonan, and trampled her sign to pieces.
Seeing that the sign she finally got was being trampled on, Qu Xiaonan was furious and was about to get angry when a voice rang out.
"Tsk, the response is really slow." The voice was unhurried and very lazy.
Hearing the sound, Qu Xiaonan turned around and saw a handsome man with a sinister look in his eyebrows, leaning next to the horse and looking at her.
"Hey, let me tell you, who are you! Don't you know how to apologize to someone if you bump into them?" Qu Xiaonan asked with eyes wide open.
"Apologise?" He asked nonchalantly, "How come I bumped into you before I bumped into someone else? You weren't paying attention, okay?"
"Why are you like this? You are so unreasonable? Why don't you hit me if others don't hit me!" Qu Xiaonan pointed at him angrily and said.
The people around him kept coaxing Qu Xiaonan: "Miss Qu, this is General Li. You can't get angry with him. He is a battlefield Rakshasa. He is famous and invincible. If you get angry with General Li, you will definitely fight."
But."
Qu Xiaonan didn't think so: "When will a general, a general who protects his family and country, bully ordinary people?"
He stared at her and asked lazily: "Are you a commoner?"
The two people almost turned against each other on the spot, with neither one willing to give in to the other, and the situation reached a stalemate for a time.
