Chapter Ninety-Eight: Out of the City
Now that everything is clear, Xu Jiao has no anger or dissatisfaction with Sixian Hou before.
"Master Hou." Xu Jiao took the initiative to nod at him.
Si Xianhou couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that she didn't have anything unusual, he thought that this girl would behave very sadly, after all, it was their father and son who couldn't stand him.
"Miss Xu is okay?" As soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong, and Xu Jiao smiled at him instead.
"I'm fine, thank you for taking care of me these days." Xu Jiao got into the carriage and lowered the curtain until Sixian Hou could no longer see her.
Now that Zhan'er has asked for it, it's time to meet His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Sixian asks to see you."
King Qi was still thinking about why the girl hadn't come yet, and he would definitely agree to come today.
"Let him in." King Qi thought that he had come to intercede today.
The Marquis of Sixian came in and respectfully bowed to the courtiers.
"Get up, this time you have come to intercede for your son?" King Qi asked lightly, but he didn't plan to open up just because of Sixian Hou's plea.
"Back to Your Majesty, no. Zhan'er has already figured it out and is willing to marry the princess of Wei. Sixian Hou got up and bent down to Qi Wang Huiyu.
"What?" As soon as these words came out, King Qi stood up in shock.
Oh his salt!
King Qi pointed at Sixian Hou, his arms were shaking: "That Xu Jiao, does she know?" ”
Si Xianhou didn't know why His Majesty was concerned about this issue, but he replied honestly: "Zhan'er said that she would tell Miss Xu first, she already knew, and it is estimated that she will return to the store from the prison first." ”
King Qi was about to cough up a mouthful of old blood, and he wanted to accuse Sixian Hou, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know what to say.
This matter is actually his own problem, and the father and son of Sixian Marquis didn't say anything.
"Marry, marry, then marry the princess of Wei."
Forget it, at least he doesn't have to marry his son to the unlucky princess of Wei, Wu Zhan marries her, and Wei and Qi can officially establish trade relations, and he can be regarded as benefiting.
You can't have both fish and bear's paws.
Let's find a way to get the salt later.
He thought about it carefully, and if this salt recipe was in his hands, he would definitely benefit a lot.
The main reason why King Qi can still sit still now is that he doesn't know that this salt recipe is almost a business, otherwise even if he tears his face and the king of a country loses face, he will still snatch things.
Xu Jiao returned to the store, Wu Hai saw that she was in a bad mood, and after being with the princess for so long, he didn't have the initial apprehension, the princess was usually very good to them.
"Princess, when are we going back to Yuehua Kingdom?"
When the brothers heard that they were going back, they were very excited.
Xu Jiao thought about it and looked at everything around here.
"In three days, we will sell all the salt in our hands first, and then sell the shop, and we may not come back in the future."
Wu Hai didn't dare to ask why he didn't come back in the future, he probably guessed a little.
The relationship between Wu Gongzi and the princess can be seen by all of them, but the two of them have not been aware of it.
The princess suddenly ordered like this now, it should be that there was some reason for something to happen between the two, and it didn't come to the end.
Wu Hai secretly glanced at Xu Jiao a few times and found that she did not have any obvious and sad emotions.
The princess shouldn't be very sad.
"Why are you staring at me?" Xu Jiao couldn't understand why Wu Hai was looking at herself with that kind of cautious and sympathetic eyes.
"Don't get out of the work yet, hurry up and sort out everything and sell it, we can't keep a grain of salt for free."
Three days later, the procession of almost 100 men left the city in the early morning.
Wu Zhan came out three days ago, but since it was broken, he didn't go to snoop anymore, but even if he didn't look, Ah Liu would take the initiative to tell him the news.
She had been selling off all her salt stock three days earlier, and the shop was selling out quickly.
Because of the salt and fragrant dew, people from the entire royal capital often go to that place, forming a new commercial center, so as soon as the news of the sale of Wangpu was thrown out, it was bought almost in the next second.
Even if there is no more fragrance and salt in the future, a commercial center has been formed, and a lot of shops and snacks have been opened there, and any roadside location is eye-catching, let alone a shop.
"She, is she leaving today?" Wu Zhan had never taken the initiative to ask Xu Jiao for the first three days, but Ah Liu took the initiative to talk endlessly, he just didn't interrupt.
Ah Liu didn't say it today, but he finally took the initiative to ask.
Ah Liu's mood was a little low: "Childe, Miss Xu is leaving." ”
Wu Zhan was bowing his head to practice calligraphy, his hand trembled imperceptibly, and then quickly stabilized.
Ah Liu looked at Childe's completely indifferent look, and couldn't help but start to get anxious.
"Childe, what's wrong with you? Why did she suddenly stop communicating with Miss Xu, she is now back in Yuehua Kingdom. ”
Ah Liu has followed Wu Zhan since he was a child, and since he met Xu Jiao, how much the son cares about her and cares about her, Ah Liu sees it in his eyes.
After getting to know Miss Xu, Childe suddenly became much more lively, and he usually had a lot more time to be happy.
"Okay, Ah Liu, I will return to the bridge and return to the bridge road with Miss Xu, and it is okay for her to return to Yuehua Kingdom."
Ah Liu was about to say something, but a voice came from outside the room.
"Childe, Master Hou asked you to go to the front hall to receive the order."
The one who should come still has to come, and sure enough, when Wu Zhan arrived in the front hall, the faces of the eunuchs who came to announce the decree turned into a chrysanthemum.
"Gongzi Wu, congratulations, the wedding date between you and the princess of Wei has been set, and it will be on the tenth day of the first month of next month."
An old voice came out: "Why is it so fast? We haven't prepared anything yet. ”
It was the old lady who said this, she liked Xu Jiao very much, but it was a pity, even if she relied on the old and sold the old, His Majesty would not respond to her in this kind of thing.
The eunuch saw that the old lady was asking, and replied good-naturedly: "The marriage of the two of them is mainly for trade after the marriage of the two countries, so there is no way to be in a hurry." Don't worry, old lady, everything will be prepared, and you don't need to worry about it. ”
Wu Zhan had already made a decision, and he would not be hypocritical at the moment.
He took the decree with both hands steadily, and the eunuch returned to the palace to resume his life.
"Zhan'er." The old lady pulled him over and stroked his back with her old right hand.
"I'm sorry for you."
Wu Zhan shook his head, he wanted to squeeze out a smile, but found that his cultivation was not in place, only a wry smile.
The old lady was even more sad: "What kind of sin has this been created, this kind of thing is our family's turn, what kind of plague god is the princess of Wei, why does she rely on our family?" ”
Si Xianhou hurriedly stopped his mother and continued: "Mother, the wall has ears, don't say it anymore, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, and maybe after this princess enters the door, it will not be so bad." ”
