Chapter 131 Proposal
After the palace banquet was over, Chu Qing saw Chu Yuan outside the palace gate.
Chu Yuan was pacing back and forth beside the carriage, holding his arms and biting his thumbnail. He was like that, and if Chu Qing didn't come out, he could chew off half of his finger.
"Boss!" Chu Yuan rushed forward like a child who finally found his mother, grabbed Chu Qing's shoulders and looked up and down.
"What are you doing? I didn't fight!" Chu Qing said in a funny tone.
"You can get hurt just by looking at me. Who can trust you?" Chu Yuan muttered when he saw that Chu Qing was fine.
Chu Qing quietly rubbed the left shoulder that was scratched by Chu Yuan, and did not dare to talk back. The child was really frightened by the arrow last time.
"Where are the boys?" Chu Qing got on the carriage and asked Chu Yuan who was driving the carriage without putting down the curtain.
"We'll see you soon." Chu Yuan replied.
Not far after turning the corner, a group of people shouted out from an alley facing away from the street! "Boss! Boss
Back!"
"You haven't left yet?" Chu Qing asked.
"Hey, I can't get into the palace, so I'm just waiting here." The boy from the action team replied with a smile.
"You still think... No, what have you done?" Chu Qing was shocked!
"We didn't do anything, we just took a look. When we were done, we were glared at by the guards, and we left."
Chu Qing patted her heart. Fortunately, she didn't do anything, otherwise she would have wasted all her goodwill in front of the emperor today.
On the way back to the inn, Chu Qing asked again: "Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet!" the boys replied.
"Let's go find a place to eat!" Chu Qing said.
"Okay!" They all said in unison this time, making Chu Qing tremble.
After finding a restaurant that was not too big or too small, the group of people set up two tables on the first floor and ate together.
"Boss, you haven't eaten either?" Chu Yuan asked.
"It's all cold, so I haven't eaten it." Chu Qing replied simply. Indeed, by the time she finished playing tricks, she was really cold. She didn't have the heart to eat the food that would be served later. Those people kept looking at her without eating, which was annoying.
.
"Oh, it's pitiful that the emperor can't have hot meals." A boy said.
"Shh! Keep your voice down! Xiaobao said, keep your mouth shut when you go out!" Chu Yuan reminded everyone.
"I thought they were not allowed to eat randomly!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Chu Qing dusted off the rice particles on his body and said, "Let's all go shopping on the street tomorrow. Come out for a while. Don't go back empty-handed."
"Okay!"
Chu Qing took a late nap. Because the main activity today was shopping, Chu Qing started to spend money on himself after eating. This was a difficult task.
Xiaobao was afraid that she wouldn't remember to bring money, so he specially got a pile of broken silver for her, but he never thought about how his mother would put it on her body. His mother was a woman, wearing a bra and a skirt, so there was no way.
Wear a belt bag.
It's really a lot of trouble to put a few pills in your sleeve pockets and hide a few pills in your belt. Why don't you just give me a banknote?
Chu Qing was just not used to hanging purses. Others used purses as wallets. Chu Qing thought that thing was just there for others to grab, so she never used it.
Instead of worrying about stuffing money, why not just wear men's clothes! Chu Qing was so angry that he changed into men's clothes and tied a belt bag, perfect!
I felt really refreshed after changing my clothes! Just as I was about to open the door and walk out, I heard Chu Yuan shouting from outside the door: "Master, we have a visitor!"
Is there a visitor? Who is it? I live in an inn and I don’t know anyone, so who is visiting?
When Chu Qing opened the door, a "big peach" came towards her.
I saw this person wearing a pink jacket with a straight collar, a pink lining, a pink pleated skirt, and pink embroidered satin shoes with raised heads. Even the flowers on his head were
The cloud crowns are all made of pink silk yarn.
"Hey! Did I find the wrong person?" "Big Taozi" said as he looked sideways at Chu Qing, just like looking at a waiter in a hotel.
Although Chu Qing was dressed as a man, he did not hide his feminine features. Therefore, "Big Taozi"'s appraising gaze seemed a little wrong.
"Who are you looking for?" Chu Qing asked.
"I'm looking for Chu Baihu." "Da Taozi" replied while half-covering his mouth and nose with a pink handkerchief. It was as if Chu Qing had some strange smell on his body.
"What's the matter?" Chu Qing asked again.
"Who are you? What does my business with Chu Baihu have to do with you?" "Big Taozi" rolled his eyes.
"Goodbye!" Chu Qing was about to close the door.
"Hey, why are you like this! Does your master know that you are like this?" "Big Taozi" was dissatisfied.
"You have nothing to say! Whose wife is so rude? Does your master know?" Chu Yuan shouted.
"I, you! I am the wife of the governor of Beizhen! How dare you be so disrespectful, believe it or not..." "Big Taozi" pointed at Chu Yuan in an arrogant manner and threatened.
When he heard that he was a family member of his boss, Chu Qing did not dare to offend him. Without waiting for "Big Taozi" to say something unpleasant, he quickly bowed and invited: "Please forgive me for offending, Mrs. Wu! I'm Chu Qing."
"Oh! You are Chu Qing!" "Da Taozi" was about to roll his eyes, but immediately changed his tone and said with a smile on his face: "Look what you said! Ouch, isn't this a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple?
!”
As he spoke, he held Chu Qing's hand and walked into the house, as if he was going to their home. Chu Qing was completely confused by his words and deeds of being arrogant at first and respectful at the back, and turning his back on guests.
When he reached the table, "Big Taozi" stretched out his hand to signal Chu Qing to sit down first, and then sat down himself.
"That Chu Baihu, I'm here today to propose a marriage to you!" "Big Taozi" said enthusiastically.
"Meet me for marriage?" Chu Qing was even more confused.
"Yes! It's like this. When our master came back from the palace banquet yesterday, he couldn't forget your heroic appearance. He also said that you are a hero among women. You have to be alone with your young son, but you also don't forget to contribute to the country."
"Our master said that women like you are the real female role models. He sympathized with your hard work and said that the more capable you are, the more you need someone to rely on. Our master is willing to be your support..."
"Big Taozi" kept talking, and Chu Qing finally came back to her senses. No wonder Bai Hua reminded her yesterday that Wu Jichang looked at her several times, so it turned out that he had this idea.
Chu Qing secretly thought to himself that he was really not a white man now. He had an official position and a family property, but he was just a widow with a child. He held the iron ore purchase license in his hand and the soybean oil specially used for the palace. Although the business was not
It's big, but it has a big background.
If I were a man, I would probably marry a woman like myself. As the saying goes, "bring your dowry, bring your sister, and drive your family's carriage"! This is really an ugly person, but I want to
So beautiful.
"Madam," Chu Qing interrupted Big Taozi, but she didn't expect that her own words were also interrupted.
"Oh Chu Baihu, I am not a wife, you are the wife after you marry me!" "Da Taozi" said affectionately, but her heart was extremely sour.
Wu Jichang's first wife had been dead for several years. Their concubines had been fighting overtly and covertly for so long, and none of them had been chosen as a stepmother. But now they wanted to marry a man who was neither a man nor a woman.
Guess she recognized the situation last night and didn't show any dissatisfaction. As soon as those few people said slanderous words, they were scolded by the master and left. He also said that they would be kicked out of the house!
The master just saw that he was speechless, so he gave him the task of "proposing marriage" and promised that if the matter was completed, he could make him a "concubine".
The person in front of me is neither young nor good-looking, and she is not a young lady. She is also a "slut", so how can she win the heart of the master? Alas, people with different fates may have different fates!
Outside the door, Chu Yuan and a group of young men were lying on the door listening.
The "big peach" who acted arrogantly just now is also the wife of the boss's boss. They were afraid that their unscrupulous attitude would cause trouble to the boss, so they all leaned on the door and eavesdropped.
They thought that if this damn woman held the boss accountable, even if they knelt down and begged for mercy, they wouldn't be able to let the boss take the blame for them.
But from what I hear, I am proposing marriage to the boss! How is this possible? The boss is their boss, no one can rob her!
But what they say is right. The more capable the boss is, the more he needs to rely on. As long as there is a man to rely on, why does the boss need to work so hard to make money to raise children?
I heard that their Mr. Wu is an official of the fourth rank. If the boss is willing, he can naturally live a peaceful and prosperous life; but if the boss is not willing, then he has offended his superior!
The young men are very complicated now, they are both afraid that the boss will agree and they are afraid that the boss will not agree.
"Um..." What can I call this if not madam? Whatever, let's call it madam!
"Madam, I accept your and Mr. Wu's kindness. It's just that the emperor summoned me yesterday. The emperor is very concerned about my children, and I am worried that the emperor is afraid that I will not be able to perform my duties well due to family burdens, so I have shown my fault.
The attitude must be consistent. So..."
Chapter completed!
