When Chu Tiankuo was in the military camp and went to inquire about the transfer to the border city again, he was taken back to the capital by the mighty marquis.

The two of them went to Chu Tiankuo's restaurant in Nanfang, and after finding a secret box, Weiwu Hou talked about giving Chu Tiankuo a concubine.

After Chu Tiankuo heard this, he sternly refused with a black face.

However, Weiwu Hou only thought that Chu Tiankuo was embarrassed to accept a concubine immediately because of the newlywed Yan'er, so he kept persuading him from the perspective of being a man.

Say anything is just a concubine, if you like it, go a few more times; If you don't like it, you have to keep it like a kitten or a puppy.

What do you say, when he saw Jiang Zhixia, he was knowledgeable and reasonable, and he must be virtuous and virtuous.

Chu Tiankuo listened to these words, and the more he listened, the darker his face became.

In the end, the mighty Marquis saw that Chu Tiankuo's face was getting worse and worse, as if he was really firm and stopped after refusing.

Although Chu Tiankuo was in an unhappy mood, the mighty Marquis was always his father-in-law and his commander.

Therefore, in order to avoid embarrassment, he still let the shopkeeper serve good wine and food, and accompanied Weiwuhou to have a good drink.

So, he also learned that he was the father and daughter of Chengenhou, and I am afraid that it has been slowly spread among the high-ranking families.

In the end, with a complicated face, he sent the drunken Weiwu Hou back to the Weiwu Hou's mansion.

After sending people off, he cried with a sad face and went home to find Jiang Zhixia for comfort.

After Chu Tiankuo returned home, he didn't dare to hide this kind of thing from Jiang Zhixia---- and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to.

Rather than waiting for others to spread this word to Zhixia's ears and make her angry, it is better for him to take the initiative to explain.

So, Chu Tiankuo told the matter that the Marquis of Weiwu wanted to give him a concubine, and told him exactly as it was.

After Jiang Zhixia heard this, he stared at Chu Tiankuo for a long time.

Seeing that Chu Tiankuo was straight, he couldn't help asking, "Lady, what are you looking at?" ”

"Look at your charm. If I'm not mistaken, this Miss Zhu Biao was in love with you when she walked out on the Green Day in March, right? In June or July, the Lady of the Mighty Marquis will propose marriage to you. Now, it's more than half of November, and it's been more than half a year, and she hasn't married yet, and she still regards you as a target. ”

Jiang Zhixia teased with a smile.

Chu Tiankuo was teased by Jiang Zhixia's laughter, so he had to retort helplessly: "I directly refused every time." ”

Jiang Zhixia covered his mouth and chuckled.

At this moment, she naturally believes in Chu Tiankuo.

"But I also learned from the mouth of the Marquis of Weiwu that my relationship with the Marquis of Cheng'en Mansion has slowly spread among these high-ranking families. If so... ”

Chu Tiankuo groaned and did not speak.

Although he didn't speak, Jiang Zhixia also understood what Chu Tiankuo meant.

Now, because Chu Tiankuo has not let go, these high-ranking families are all waiting.

Some of them are flexible, like the mighty marquis, who want to be one step closer to him.

Now what I'm afraid of is not these high-ranking families, but the people in the palace.

Since I went to the palace to meet on the tenth day of the first month, the palace has been quiet. But the more this is the case, the more worried people are that the palace will not issue an order directly.

"When I go back to the army, I can only grind the mighty marquis a few more times to see if I can be transferred back to the border city as soon as possible."

In the end, Chu Tiankuo said in a concluding manner.

can only work hard, but the outcome of things is not something that the two of them can decide.

Speaking of which, the two of them put the topic aside.

The two of them discussed the sales of wine, the situation of peppers, and the matter of cotton flowers.

Wine sales have been good.

Nowadays, because the quantity of wine is scarce, the price has naturally gone up. As a result, people who still have preferences come to buy.

The situation with peppers is also much better than expected.

Because Jiang Zhixia had money in hand, after getting married, she arranged for people, found craftsmen, and built a few greenhouses at the back of the hot spring house. As a result, the peppers in the greenhouse ripen very quickly.

Nowadays, the amount of supply to the restaurant is sufficient.

So, Jiang Zhixia asked Xiao Man to make peppers into various flavors of pepper sauce and spicy hot pot base. What beef pepper sauce, what pork pepper sauce, what mushroom pepper sauce.

Xiao Man is really better than her mother's cooking skills, Jiang Zhixia put forward a general idea, Xiao Man can make results after tossing in the small kitchen for a few days.

So, Jiang Zhixia bought a new subordinate and arranged to make pepper sauce and spicy hot pot base directly in the grange----- anyway, the place is big.

As for the pepper sauce and spicy hot pot base, they are naturally sold in Chu Tiankuo's restaurant.

Because Zhu Cuilou earned a lot of money, Chu Tiankuo regarded the restaurant as one of the sources of news. Therefore, he opened a restaurant branch in Beifang.

Chu Tiankuo is also planning to open a few semicolons in other lively cities. Anyway, he had someone to watch.

On the contrary, the situation of cotton flowers is not particularly good. Although those men followed the merchants to Yazhou. In the end, there is no direct business to Yazhou.

So, as they walked, they inquired, and the journey slowed down.

In addition, winter is coming, and although there is little snow in the south, it is rainy, so the journey is quite difficult.

Now, more than three months later, the letter they received a while ago, they said that they were still waiting for the rain to stop in a small town that Jiang Zhixia didn't know.

"Alas, I don't expect too much, I just hope that I will have time to sow seeds in March and April next year."

Jiang Zhixia said with a sigh.

Nowadays, travel is really extremely difficult.

After talking about her own business, Jiang Zhixia talked about her newly opened rouge gouache shop 'Flower Charm Beauty Noodles'.

Jiang Zhixia specially asked people to make a sign out of satin, and then hired people to go around the street. Everyone saw the words on it that do not contain lead powder, do not contain cinnabar, are made of pure natural flowers and plants, and are non-toxic and harmless.

Curious, I asked more.

As a result, there were more people in the shop. After all, no one wants to be infected with toxins.

The two of them chatted carefully about business, and for a while, there was a burst of laughter in the room.

Not to mention, Chu Tiankuo and Jiang Zhixia were laughing and laughing here.

Let's just say that after the drunken Weiwuhou returned to the backyard, he ignored Mrs. Weiwuhou and Miss Zhu Biao, who were eagerly waiting in the main hall, and fell asleep directly on the bed.

Mrs. Weiwuhou looked at the drunk and unconscious Weiwuhou, and could only helplessly comfort Miss Zhu Biao.

"This time there will be no problem. Let you be a big lady to be a concubine. That Chu Tiankuo can't be ignorant anymore. When your uncle wakes up, I'll ask you in detail about the day you'll be brought in. ”

Miss Zhu Biao nodded shyly.

Now, my aunt's father is out of the horse, and he is just taking a concubine, so it must be no problem.

So, she said goodbye to Mrs. Weiwuhou shyly and returned to her yard.

Unexpectedly, when the mighty Marquis woke up the next day, Miss Zhu Biao learned the news that she had been rejected again.

When she heard the news from the mouth of the Marquis of Weiwu himself, she barely supported herself and said goodbye to the Marquis of Weiwu and Mrs. Marquis of Weiwu and left.

When Miss Zhu Biao returned to her courtyard, she had a resentful expression on her face.
