Chapter 337 Don’t even think about it
Guanyongbo Mansion.
Wu Zhiheng went to the backyard with a grim look on his face.
Wen Xianglian saw him come in and immediately went over to untie his cloak with a smile.
She noticed that he looked strange, so she asked, "Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Zhiheng said with a sullen face: "I just met with the Fifth Prince and was scolded by him."
Wen Xianglian frowned slightly, "Why did he scold you?"
Wu Zhiheng said irritably: "It's still Qiao Ye and Lu Shao's business."
"The candles Qiao Ye made for the Seventh Prince were a big hit at the Emperor's birthday banquet, and he was even crowned a king."
"It caused great dissatisfaction among the Fifth Prince."
"He asked us to win over Qiao Ye, but we didn't do it."
"They asked us to deal with Lu Shao and alienate the couple's relationship, but we didn't accomplish this task."
"That's why I was called in and scolded."
"And he was very worried that Qiao Ye and his wife would turn to the Crown Prince because of the Seventh Prince."
This was also something he was a little worried about.
He boarded the fifth prince's boat and couldn't get off.
Naturally, they hoped that the fifth prince could kill the crown prince and overpower the other princes to ascend to the throne.
Otherwise, if the crown prince came to the throne, all the people in the Fifth Prince's faction would be in trouble.
It's just that damn girl keeps causing trouble.
The prince had previously contracted malaria in Qiongzhou, a disease that even the Imperial Medical Bureau could not cure.
Who would have thought that the prince would actually get better after taking the pills made by Qiao Ye.
Today he also heard from the fifth prince that the prince had obtained a lot of medicine from Qiao Ye.
Then he tried his best to win over the noble families in Qiongzhou.
The person who originally tried to trip up the prince was actually subdued by the prince.
If nothing is done in Qiongzhou, it will become the prince's territory.
Listening to the Fifth Prince's words and the other party's reproaches, he felt more and more regretful.
I should have killed Qiao Ye and his sister directly before leaving.
If that dead girl hadn't intervened, the prince would have been dead by now.
When Wen Qiulian heard this, the smile on her face disappeared.
She really didn't expect that her silly daughter would be so powerful after she recovered.
If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have deliberately left it alone all these years.
She asked: "Did the people you arranged approach Lu Shao?"
Wu Zhiheng nodded, "I went there and thought of many ways to get close to Lu Shao or to gain his pity, but all failed."
"Selling oneself to bury one's father, falling sick on the road, being abused by parents and chased to be sold, etc."
"These tricks that can arouse a man's pity are used by my people."
"But Lu Shao not only doesn't understand romance, he's also heartless. He pretended not to see anything."
"Those women couldn't get close to him."
Wen Xianglian thought for a moment and said, "Maybe your people are not using the right method."
Wu Zhiheng looked at her and asked, "Tell me about it."
Wen Xianglian replied: "When Lu Shao and Qiao Ye got married, both of them were in bad situations."
"Qiao Ye helped him get rid of the oppression of his family and his father, and he showed up in public all day to run various workshops."
"She also interacts with other men, such as the Seventh Prince."
"Qiao Ye has a very strong character, not the kind of soft person that people would pity."
"And the fact that Lu Shao likes Qiao Ye very much shows that he likes strong and independent women, not weak ones."
"You can try a few different types of women to get close to him again."
"For example, if the family is engaged in business, but the father and brother died unexpectedly at an early age, the only daughter in the family will ignore the prejudices of outsiders and insist on taking over the family business, and she is doing better and better."
"for example……"
She had studied men a lot before, so she was able to control Wu Zhiheng and Qiao Erniu.
There were several men who liked her.
So I know that many men have their own preferences.
How can you possibly hook up with a woman who has all the wrong preferences?
Wu Zhiheng also reacted when he heard her words.
"I really didn't think of this before. My people also made a mistake."
If it were him, he would prefer a docile woman who depends on him for everything.
He disliked Qiao Ye's tigress-like character the most.
So I didn’t even think that Lu Shao liked the tigress.
"Xianglian, you are smart."
Women are more careful than men, so if you have any problems in the future, you should ask your wife more often.
He stood up and said, "I'll have someone rearrange it right away."
After saying that, he hurried away.
Wen Xianglian watched him leave, then sat down and thought deeply.
Naturally, she hoped that Wu Zhiheng and the others would succeed.
That wicked girl was so unfilial. Not only did she not acknowledge her, she also instigated her son to disown her.
If she could drive a wedge between the young couple, based on what she had found out about Qiao Ye's personality, she would probably take the initiative to divorce Lu Shao.
After all, Qiao Ye was behind the divorce between Wei Fenghua and Jiang Jian.
After Qiao Ye divorced, she would try to find a new husband for Qiao Ye.
Then take control of this disobedient daughter.
And that unfilial son, if he wants to escape from his mother, forget it.
She has been looking for a suitable woman recently, if that rebellious son can still return to the capital alive.
She arranged his marriage.
No matter what, she is his mother, and he cannot disobey his parents' orders and the matchmaker's words.
In the past, her two children were insignificant, and she was too lazy to think about them or try to control them.
But when the two children became more and more powerful, she couldn't help but want to control them.
Take them into your own hands.
From childhood to adulthood, she has had this desire to control her family, Wu Zhiheng, and Qiao Erniu.
The same naturally applies to her children, including her youngest son and daughter, whom she truly loves.
And my niece had actually planned it out and became Mr. Song's concubine.
Otherwise, her husband would have been quite happy, thinking that marrying Young Master Song would be more useful than that fourth-rank official.
Otherwise, she would have to give her niece a good beating for daring to act on her own.
the other side.
Lu Shao didn't know that Wu Zhiheng and his wife had changed their way to deal with him.
But he didn't care even if he knew it, he was not interested in women at all.
Except for his young wife, all kinds of women are the same in his eyes.
At this time, Lu Shao and Qiao Ye arrived at the provincial capital and found an inn to stay in.
This is Qiao Ye’s first time in the city.
It looked more prosperous and lively than the county town, so she took Lu Shao for a stroll on the street for the whole afternoon with great interest.
In the next few days, the two of them will go out for a walk.
Then it was soon time for the provincial examination.
While Lu Shao was taking the exam, Qiao Ye went to visit the city by himself.
She found that the city was developing well, especially now there were many merchants coming from all over the country to Mayu County to purchase goods.
Many of them have to pass through the city, thus boosting the flow of people and economy in the city.
The prefect was not a corrupt and incompetent official, and he had always made achievements in the city.
If this place develops better in the future, housing prices will definitely rise as well.
So Qiao Ye went to the brokerage firm and asked the broker to take her to see the house and shop they owned.
Finally, he bought a few shops and a house.
There are two shops that can be used for personal use, one for a woolen yarn shop and the other for a furniture store.
The rest are rented out.
As for the house, ask someone to clean it up and don’t rent it out yet.
This time, the young master can become a student only after passing the provincial examination and take part in the subsequent academy examination to become a scholar.
When the autumn examination comes, I have to come to the provincial capital to take part in the provincial examination and become a juren.
There will be no need to stay in an inn then.
After Lu Shao finished his exam, he found out that his young wife had bought a shop and a house.
After the house was transferred, I hired someone to clean it.
Qiao Ye brought Lu Shao back to the new house and said, "No need to stay in the inn. Let's wait for the results to be announced in the city."
Lu Shao chuckled and said, "My lady is really thoughtful."
"I listen to you."
Qiao Ye took the initiative to hold his arm.
While showing him the house, he said, "Do you want to hire a few people?"
"Guardian, cleaner and cook."
The house she bought this time has three courtyards, and it is too empty for just the two of them.
Cleaning is also troublesome.
Lu Shao smiled and said, "No need to hire. One of my men just happened to bring his parents and brothers here from the border."
"They want me to help arrange some work."
"When the time comes, arrange for them to come to the house to work."
"I can help out at the shop in the future."
Qiao Ye nodded, "That's great, your people can use it with confidence."
The last time Lu Shao went to the border, he brought back several people.
It can be seen that those people are very loyal to Lu Shao, and Lu Shao also trusts them very much.
They should all be people who had interactions with him in his previous life.
Among them is a grandfather and grandson who are descendants of Lu Ban and are very good at carpentry.
Because he saved the other's grandson, the grandfather was very grateful and loyal to Lu Shao.
It can be seen that Lu Shao respects and cares for that grandfather very much.
She guessed that he must have learned woodworking and carving from the other person in his previous life.
This time when he went to the border, he should have the intention of rescuing the other party's grandson and bringing them back.
That grandfather was really amazing. She had previously suggested the shock-absorbing spring to him.
The other party has really figured it out recently.
The carriage they took to the city this time was equipped with shock absorbers, which was indeed much more comfortable.
Then Lu Shao sent a message, asking the man to bring his family to the provincial capital.
He and Qiao Ye also moved from the inn to the house.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day for the announcement of the results.
