If the resources are short, they will increase in value because of their rarity. For the same price, you can buy more in other countries and less in yours, which creates an economic crisis. If countries open up trade with each other and sell their surpluses, you will get money and the other country will have resources, and you will form an alliance, which is a win-win situation. Don't underestimate the power of cooperation, many things, often cooperation can be a win-win situation. ”

Dom fell into deep thought, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "You are right, I agree with you. ”

At this moment, the excited and joyful laughter of a matchmaker sounded at the next table, and she ordered a few plates of side dishes, and a jar of wine, and was enjoying it happily.

Almost everyone in the neighborhood knew her, and they were so happy to see her and said with a smile: "Matchmaker, have you talked about a marriage again?" ”

The matchmaker waved her hand, her voice joyful and high-pitched, "That's not it! Guess what, this time I'm taking that family's red line? ”

People passing by came over one after another, "Which one?" It can't be the young lady of the Guo family, right? ”

The matchmaker's smile narrowed into a slit, "Guess right!" This time it can be regarded as a negotiation, and the lord gave me a lot of money! ”

She took out the bag hanging from her waist, stretched out her hand and shook it, and there was a clanging sound inside, heavy.

Everyone's eyes straightened, "So reluctant?" But this Miss Guo family, isn't she unwilling to marry the son of the Liu family? ”

The matchmaker smiled confidently and glanced at him angrily: "What you said is the words of the matchmaker who was ordered by my parents, and I have already drawn the red line, does she dare to obey?" After getting engaged, they will be members of their Liu family! On the day of the wedding, the matchmaker, I, just drink the wedding wine and get the red envelope! At this, her smile widened, and the folds on her face looked like flowers.

Everyone else was very red-eyed, and some people ridiculed her: "Matchmaker, when it comes to such a big marriage, shouldn't you invite us to eat and drink well, so that the big guy can be happy?" ”

The matchmaker's smile retracted, glared at the ridiculous person, protected the bag in her hand, and scolded with a smile: "You think beautifully!" Auntie, grandma, I have worked a lot of hard to negotiate this marriage, what have you done, you have to come to eat white food? Go and go, all of them will go, and my aunt and grandmother will be happy alone. ”

Everyone cut and dispersed.

That was the end of the conversation, and the sound of the discussion was in Dom's ears, and he lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.

Li Qiuchi saw his sullenness, so he asked, "What's wrong?" You don't seem to be happy. ”

Dom looked up and looked at her puzzled, and his voice was extremely confused: "Why can't you women choose the person you like, and even have to make decisions about marriage?" ”

After Li Qiuchi was silent for a moment, he sighed, "The fate of most of our Central Plains women is like this, the marriage contract is often based on the words of the matchmaker on the orders of their parents, and they also pay attention to the right person. ”

Therefore, in ancient times, there were many miserable loves, which stemmed from the fact that women could not choose their own marriages.

Li Qiuchi silently added in his heart.

Dom pursed his lips, his mottled eyes deep and pure: "What about you?" Are you going to submit to this fate too? ”

Li Qiuchi was stunned, and then she smiled dumbly: "My fate, of course, is in control of myself, and others can't restrain me." ”

As a woman in the new era of the 21st century, of course, she will not believe in fate.

When Dom saw her bright and confident face, the lake in his heart seemed to be touched by something, and ripples.

Chu Jinrong sat down in a place that Li Qiuchi was not easily aware of, and listened to their conversation in his heart.

"My destiny, of course, is in my own hands, and others can't restrain me."

Her melodious voice like a jade bead rolling down echoed in Chu Jinrong's mind over and over again, he lowered his eyes, overshadowed the shadow in his eyes, poured a cup of tea and drank it all.

When he wanted to refill the cup again, his hand suddenly trembled, and the tea splashed on the table when it spilled, disturbing his mood, and Li Qiuchi's words lingered in his heart, he put down the teacup and simply stopped drinking.

What exactly does she mean by that? Is it dissatisfaction with the marriage contract? He lowered his head and smiled bitterly, yes, she should be dissatisfied, with her temperament, she would not like such a forced marriage contract. So she just said this to explain to the envoy of Mu Yingying? After being together for so long, isn't there a trace of emotion between them? Chu Jinrong thought sourly in his heart.

Zhao Xiaotang looked at Chu Jinrong's restless appearance and sighed, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really interested in the Crown Princess.

Li Qiuchi had actually noticed Chu Jinrong's presence nearby, but she didn't break it.

She and Dom laughed and talked for a while, and then they parted. She sat alone in her original position, sipping tea, waiting for Chu Jinrong to come over.

Chu Jinrong saw that Li Qiuchi was the only one left, and his heart was even more confused, so he simply walked over directly and sat opposite her.

Li Qiuchi didn't raise his head, and took a sip of tea with a smile, "It's here." ”

Hearing her words, Chu Jinrong was surprised, "You...... Waiting for me? You already found me? ”

He looked directly at Li Qiuchi, only to see that she poured a cup of tea for Chu Jinrong without surprise, and then chuckled: "Otherwise, do you think you hide it well?" ”

Zhao Xiaotang helplessly supported his forehead beside him, to tell the truth, the princess told the truth. I have never seen a stalker so blatant, staring at people so directly, even fools can see it.

Li Qiuchi looked at him with smiling eyes: "Actually, you don't have to worry about me, I can still handle it alone." ”

It was originally a word of relief, but Chu Jinrong misinterpreted her meaning. He hooked his lips sarcastically and took a sip of tea, "Think I'm redundant and affect you to get along with him?" ”

That he was referring to Dom, of course.

Li Qiuchi was stunned by his sudden sarcastic tone, "What are you talking about?" I just don't want to bother you. ”

Chu Jinrong raised his head, his eyes were deep, "Before, you troubled me so many times. Now, what, want to put aside the relationship? ”

She frowned, "Did you take gunpowder?" Speak yin and yang weirdly. ”

"Fang Cai, you said that you are in charge of your own destiny," Chu Jinrong's voice was faint, and his eyes were cold, "What is your attitude towards our marriage contract?" ”

Li Qiuchi paused with the hand holding the teacup, the air fell silent for a moment, and for a while, she didn't know how to reply.

In fact, there is still a word she said to Dom that has not been said. The person you like is going to marry no matter what, and it doesn't matter if it's from your parents' orders, what matters is the person.
