Chapter Twenty-Five: Marrying?
"It's about the same price as in our store." Qi Yan said.
"That's good." Yuan Qing nodded clearly, the same commodity, in order not to avoid vicious competition, the market price of this commodity must have a mandatory provision, which cannot be too high or too low. For example, the market price of a pair of shoes is 80, the owner sells it for 40, and the west family sells for 100, so many people will choose to go to the east to buy, but how long can the owner sell such cheap shoes? Maybe after the owner brought customers in, the price of shoes rose to more than 80. Then the question arises, people are used to buying a pair of shoes at forty, and now they are over eighty, so who still buys such shoes?
In the end, this kind of shoes cannot be sold, which is a fatal blow to the entire industry that produces such shoes. If you want to do it for a long time, you can't be so immoral......
Today, Qi Yi brought a variety of information carriers in the opinion box of the Tangerine Weekly, the content is without exception, writing jokes, talking about suggestions, talking about hearts, sharing knowledge, and voting for the goddess in her heart......
Some time ago, the male god of Qiuzhou has been chosen by the people, and now people are concentrating on the goddess.
The ranking has not changed much, Han Qianyi is still firmly ranked first, the second place is still the dance star Shiqiu, and the third place has changed, from Lin Xianyu to Su Yue, and then from Su Yue to Shangguan Yijiao, so now the third place is Shangguan Yijiao, and Su Yue was squeezed to the fourth place. The fifth place is Lin Xianyu.
At the moment, the top five are them. Yuan Qing had first-hand information, although she couldn't get used to Su Yue, but being a newspaper person had to seek truth from facts, so she still wrote it truthfully.
Fu Qian and Shiqiu's books have been sorted out by Yuan Qing, and now they are working hard to copy in the hands of various writers, a book may be ten pages at most without a few pages, although ten pages is not much, but copying it is also very tiring, and five pages of ten pages are drawings, so the workload of the painter is greater than that of the writer.
In order to help them publish a book, it is not actually a book, at best it is a very thin magazine, only ten pages. The so-called star magazine.
Maybe these two magazines will be able to meet you at the end of this month.
Just wait slowly
Late autumn is cold, and the frost is even more obvious. At this time, in the hall of the palace, there was the sound of several people talking.
"Hmph, don't think that if you leave the house quietly, the mourning family won't know where you went." A middle-aged beautiful woman pointed at a handsome man and said angrily.
The man turned his face away and looked at Gu Yijing, the concubine beside the woman, and asked for help.
"Sister, stop scolding Yezi, he doesn't want you to worry either." Gu Yijing said to her.
"Sister, you are always used to him, now it's okay, I have arranged the wedding for him, and he ran away without saying a word, and the girl will only have five days to pass the door." The more the woman spoke, the angrier she became. "If I hadn't come to your birthday yesterday, I wouldn't know where this kid would be going."
The middle-aged woman is Li Ye's mother, Concubine Hui. She arranged a marriage for Li Ye a few days ago, Li Ye refused, he fled to Qiuzhou, Concubine Hui looked for him everywhere, and also came to the palace of Qiuzhou to look for it, but Gu Yijing had the heart to protect it, and Concubine Hui couldn't find it.
Yesterday on Gu Yijing's birthday, as a good sister, Concubine Hui came to celebrate her birthday, and then Li Ye was discovered who couldn't escape.
"Mother, I said that I would never marry that person." Li Ye said.
"Don't marry? What's wrong with being quiet? She is smart and virtuous, and she is a beautiful lady, and her family background is not worthy of you? "Concubine Hui drank it regardless of her image." You...... Nostalgia for flowers all day long, showing mercy everywhere, it is rare that people are quiet if they don't dislike you, you actually ...... Ran away from marriage...... You unfilial son. ”
"Mother, are you alright?" Li Ye looked at Concubine Hui's excited appearance, afraid that she would have coronary heart disease again.
"You...... Leave me alone, just let me be. Concubine Hui shook off Li Ye's outstretched hand and gasped.
Jingruo is the quasi-princess arranged by Concubine Hui to Li Ye.
"Mother, the child has said that it is good if she is quiet, but the child has no feelings for her. So no matter what you say, the child will never go back to marry you. Li Ye said, his face, which was always playful in the past, was firm at this time.
"You...... You're really going to be angry with your family. Concubine Hui pointed at Li Ye and said angrily.
"Mother, let's postpone the marriage while the matter is not a foregone conclusion." Li Ye said.
"Yezi, do you really dislike that Jingruo?" Gu Yijing asked.
Li Ye looked at her and nodded firmly, "Auntie, you also want Yezi to be happy, that Jingruo, Yezi really has no feelings for her, if Yezi marries her, then the rest of our lives will definitely be miserable......" He said with emotion, his tone was sad, and he almost squeezed out a few tears.
Hearing him say this, Gu Yijing seemed to have been touched by her heartstrings, and there was a strong resonance, yes, if she hadn't been forced into the palace by the former emperor, she might be able to tie the knot with the person she likes like an ordinary woman......
"Yezi, you're right. If you marry someone you don't like, it's just pain. Gu Yijing nodded sadly, "Sister, since Yezi doesn't like Jingruo, let's postpone that marriage, we can't let these children suffer again." ”
The hall was silent......
Concubine Hui closed her eyes and thought for a long time, opened her eyes, and nodded silently. Both of these women are from the past, and they know what it's like to spend their lives with someone they don't like.
"The child thanks the mother and the aunt for the fulfillment." He got up and walked over to the two of them and bowed deeply.
So this marriage, which made the nine princes have to escape, was postponed......
Her affordable concubine also dotes on her son Li Ye very much, otherwise this sure marriage would not be so easy to push off, of course, it is Gu Yijing's catalyst that urges her. yes, that parent doesn't want their child to be happy? Those parents who sell their children for glory are just needed by the plot, in real reality, there are few such parents, tiger poison still does not eat children, do they really have to watch their children suffer again?
As long as it's not a last resort, that parent will be so ruthless?
Li Ye walked out of the hall, and the two concubines in the hall sat quietly with each other.
"Sister, Yezi he...... I'm afraid I can't control him. Concubine Hui hung her head and said helplessly.
"Sister, it's not up to our mother, we can take care of less." Gu Yijing said.
"You're right, but this kid is really not worry-free, since we arrived in Liuzhou, he has been restless, lingering in Fengyue all day long, as if he was fascinated by the goblins there, he didn't listen to what I said, and he didn't want to take him a concubine. When will he take care of this child? Concubine Hui said. In the end, I thought about whether to find him a princess so that he could settle down. ”
"Forget it, sister, he doesn't like that Jingruo, don't force him, this kid can't be forced, the more he pushes him, the more he refuses." Gu Yijing said, "By the way, Yezi refuses to marry Jingruo, does he have someone else in his heart?" ”
"I asked him too, but he always said he hadn't met that person yet." Concubine Hui said.
"That means he doesn't have a sweetheart in his heart right now." Gu Yijing said.
"I guess that's what happened." Concubine Hui nodded, and said, "Yezi is almost twenty-one, I'm worried about him." "Other princes began to take concubines at the age of sixteen, and they all married princesses at the age of nineteen, although they don't need to compare with other princes now, but ordinary people can also compare.
"Sister, don't say it, Qiuzhou is as beautiful as a cloud, and it would be a good idea to let Yezi pick a princess here." Gu Yijing proposed.
"Really?" Concubine Hui was suspicious.
"Everything depends on fate, and we can't help him much, so let's try."
"It's fine." Concubine Hui nodded in agreement.
A lawn place in the palace, very open, almost the size of a football field, one person holds a bow and arrow, draws the bow, closes one eye, the other eye looks at the direction of the target, for a moment, the hand is released, the arrow is off the string, against the wind, whirring, in an instant, the feather arrow is not bad in the bull's-eye.
Not far away, there was a sound of clapping, "Brother Eleven's archery skills have improved again." "Listening to the voice, it looks like Li Ye.
Hearing this, the person holding the sword, put down the bow and arrow, he was dressed in a black robe, his eyebrows were handsome and picturesque, his posture was slender, steady and elegant, this person was Li Chen. He looked at Li Ye and said, "How is it?" Has the marriage been postponed? ”
"Haha, that's nature." Li Yelang smiled, with a look that still needs to be said.
"It's just a bargain, are you so happy?" Li Chen said lightly.
"Seriously, Brother Jiu, I envy your eleventh brother." Li Ye walked up to him and chuckled, "No one forced marriage, it's easy." How is it like me, forced to marry by my mother every day......"
"Are you older than me?" He said.
"Who called me your ninth brother?" Li Ye said, he sat aside and took a bow and arrow from the guard's hand, "I haven't shot an arrow for a long time, see if my eyesight is okay." ”
So the two brothers were on this lawn, playing with bows and arrows.
The autumn is high and cold, and the sky is gray and white, and it is a little bleak.
In a garden, the wood and grass are fragrant, there are two people sitting at a stone table, drinking tea opposite each other, and suddenly a maid ring came to the two of them and said: "Two concubines, the prince is here." ”
Then there was a sound of footsteps, and when I looked up, two men with outstanding looks walked slowly. After a few people sat down, they began to create a topic.
Gu Yijing was the first to speak, "I called the two of you here today to ask you what your plans are." ”
"What are you going to do?" Li Ye asked.
"Yezi, how old are you this year?" Concubine Hui asked.
"Don't you know, mother?" Li Ye asked rhetorically, but when he saw his mother's expression of not being angry and arrogant, he said, "The child is twenty years old this year." ”
"It's twenty-one." Concubine Hui smacked her tongue to herself. "And when are you going to get married?" To be continued
