Chapter 230 The one you are engaged to is Princess Fanghua
Chapter 230 The one you are engaged to is Princess Fanghua
Li Qingzhu was used to seeing animals, so he naturally knew a little about horses. At least he would not buy a sick horse.
What Li Qingzhu bought was an old horse. In fact, most people are reluctant to sell old horses because they know how to ride. However, this was an old mare, and a foal mare she gave birth to could replace the old horse when it grows up.
It is expensive to raise a horse, and the older the horse gets, the less able it is to pull heavy objects. The owner naturally wants a young and strong mare with strong fertility.
The old horse may not be able to give birth to a foal, so the best option is to sell it.
Li Qingzhu knew, of course, that this was an old horse, but the fact that the horse was cheap was one thing, and the main thing was that although the horse was old, its coat was still shiny, proving that the owner had fed it well.
The horse is healthy, not sick. I have touched the bones of its limbs and found none of them are broken. This horse can pull for another five or six years without any problem, and he only needs to pull for one or two months.
Along the way, Li Bing, Li Qingzhu and their friends went to some of the most reputable restaurants in the city to eat and stay in hotels. As long as they showed their badges, the shopkeepers would treat them like distinguished guests.
They were really flattered by the good food and wine, the comfortable rooms, the waiters who served them at any time.
Li Bing didn't expect that his second daughter was so capable. Could this business be spread all over the country?
If Shangguan Yue were here, she would definitely say that this was a subsidiary of their group, which managed the chain stores in this city.
We had been instructed what the distinguished guests should bring with them, how many people there were, whether they were male or female, their approximate ages, etc., so it was natural that they were treated as guests of honor.
Normally, there are people who come with badges to eat and stay, but they are all from the higher level who come to check the accounts, etc., and there will be no separate notice. Those who are notified in advance must be important people, so everyone tries to do what they are supposed to do to the best of their ability.
I hope their superiors can see this and say a few good words to them when they go back, then their future will be limitless.
Shangguan Yue had already returned to the general's mansion and told Chen Bianbian and Shangguan Yan about the situation of the Li family. Shangguan Yan heard that her brother-in-law was so good at hunting, which meant that he was good at archery, so it was most appropriate to arrange for her brother-in-law to go to the military camp.
Moreover, this brother-in-law Li Qingzhu can be said to be one of our own. The camp outside the capital is a mixed bag of good and bad people, and there are spies from all sides. It is better to have more of our own people.
Li Ruomei has informed Chunfen that Shangguan Yue is of great use. Chunfen has seen double-sided embroidery before, so she knows that this is indeed a rare talent.
I didn't expect that this lady's sister could create double-sided embroidery with different patterns on both sides. That's incredible, an amazing talent. Now their cloth business can be taken to a higher level, and they can customize high-end embroidery for royal officials.
The two had already made arrangements. Xiao Doudou was only about four years old, so she could just go to school. The difficulty lay with Li Bing. He had been teaching in a small mountain village, and was no longer suitable to teach when he came to the capital.
No one could think of what to do with Li Bing, so they just let him enjoy his life at home. After all, he is old and has worked hard for most of his life, so it's time for him to take a break.

A small courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing
"Prince, when are we going back to North Vietnam? North Vietnam is in turmoil right now, and the Emperor's health probably won't last much longer. Our people don't need to take action."
A young man said to a tall figure.
"You mean to say that we don't even need to do anything, and the emperor has already been taken by someone else?"
"Yes, Prince, the emperor has actually been poisoned for a long time and will not survive for more than a year."
"Hahaha! He has finally met his day. It seems a lot of people want him dead. The pity is that I can't kill him myself. Have you found out who did it?
The man sneered with a sound of gnashing teeth.
"It should be one of the princes. Maybe they all made a move. After all, who doesn't want that position?"
"Understood, let's go!"
"Shi, Prince, Master..."
"What else? Jin Qing, are you hiding something from me?"
"My Lord, hehe, this matter, how should I put it, it can be said to be a good thing."
"You're waiting until now to tell me about this good thing? You don't want to take credit for it? Tsk!"
"Yes, the princess has arranged a marriage for you, Prince. This will make it easier for you to compete for that position in the future."
"Oh? Marriage? Who are you going to marry?"
When he heard that the engagement was arranged, for some reason Jin Feiyun's mind appeared Shangguan Yue's face, which was sometimes cute and sometimes cold.
"She is Princess Fanghua, the daughter of Prince Hou, a prince of a different surname who has been through life and death with the emperor."
Jin Qing finished speaking quickly with his eyes closed. It had been a long time since he heard the prince speak. He opened one eye and looked at the prince. The prince was in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking. It was estimated that the prince did not hear a word he had just said.
"Jin Qing, what did you say just now? What's the matter with Princess Guan Fanghua?"
"Sir, I said that the princess arranged a marriage for you with Princess Fanghua!"
Jin Qing didn't care and answered loudly.
Jin Feiyun stood up suddenly. He was seventeen years old, youthful yet a little mature. His face was finely carved, with three-dimensional features, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.
What a charming and seductive face! But now this face is so gloomy that it is scary.
"Why did my mother want to marry someone I wanted to avoid?"
"My lord, this is not the princess' fault. It is because Princess Fanghua would not marry anyone other than you, my lord. If the two of you were to marry, the prince would be willing to lend a helping hand.
We are weak and the princess has no relatives in the capital. We cannot compete with those princes with our men alone, but if we marry Princess Fanghua, our chances of winning will be much greater.
Just marry her as the principal wife, and the prince can take in anyone he likes in the future."
"This is different! Jin Qing, if you like someone, you definitely don't want to let her down, you only want to give her the best. But... forget it, it's too early to say now."
Jin Feiyun sighed lightly. As long as he sat in that position and had the ability in the future, he would be able to do whatever he wanted. It would be easy to get whatever he wanted.
By then she would have grown up and would create a more glorious kingdom with him.
As if thinking of a scene that would happen in the future, Jin Feiyun's phoenix eyes were unusually bright.
Xiaoyue, wait for me, I will make you the most noble woman in North Vietnam in the future.
"Prince, we promised Shangguan Yue that we would help her for three years. Now three years have passed. When will we return to North Vietnam?"
Jin Qing's words reminded Jin Feiyun of the scene four years ago. He was locked in an iron cage, and she was standing outside the cage. Although she was young, her captivating gaze seemed to see through him completely.
From that day on, he didn't dare to look her in the eye for a long time. He was afraid that everything he thought and did would be revealed under her gaze.
But he just couldn't help wanting to look at her, wanting to get closer to her. He felt that he was really sick, and a very serious one. The older he got, the more he dared not face her.
But when I'm away from her, I miss her terribly, especially in the past year, when she's often nowhere to be found, and I don't know what she's busy with.
He wanted to ask, but didn't know how to start. This was also overstepping the boundaries and she would be unhappy. Since the past three years, she rarely told him to do anything.
