Chapter 140 Imperial City Inn

Hearing Xiao Er's footsteps walking away, Yuan Hao couldn't help asking: "Sister, are people in this capital so easy to get along with?"

Yuan Qiu shook his head, smiled wryly and said: "You are just a fool, this noble land of the capital is at the foot of the emperor, so many famous families have taken root here, and how many nobles from the imperial city run rampant here, you may encounter powerful people anytime you go out, Do you expect these rich and powerful people to treat you with such courtesy? Is this realistic?"

Yuan Hao shook his head like a rattle, which is obviously unrealistic.

Yuan Qiu said again: "It's not easy to live in this capital city. In the future, you will gradually know that this little girl is polite to us. If the service is not good and the guests are unhappy and uncomfortable, would people still be willing to spend money to stay? Why not spend money to live in an inn that can make you feel comfortable and happy?"

Yuan Hao nodded half-understanding: "Sister, I understand."

After a while, Xiao Er brought hot dumplings and hot soup, and brought two large buckets of bath water.

Yuan Qiu rewarded Xiao Er with a piece of silver, and Xiao Er worked even harder, and said with a smile: "Look at you guys with dusty faces, I'm afraid these two buckets of water are not enough, I'll go get two more buckets of water."

As soon as Xiao Er left, Yuan Hao asked in a low voice: "Sister, this Xiao Er works so hard, why don't you reward him more?"

Yuan Qiu stretched out his finger to scratch his little nose, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, please remember, don't reveal your wealth at any time. We are single and weak. If you let someone with a heart set your sights on, do you have a good way to escape?"

Yuan Hao shrank his shoulders and said with a dry smile, "Just pretend I didn't say it, pretend I didn't say it."

After eating, the two of them took a nice bath, while Yuan Qiu was still washing clothes, Yuan Hao had already fallen asleep on the bed.

"This kid, it looks like he's exhausted." Yuan Qiu smiled and shook his head, and covered Yuan Hao with a quilt very distressed. He was at the age of growing up, but he stayed with her in the carriage every day, and sometimes missed Sutou. , even going forward in the bumps all night and all night, he couldn't eat well, sleep well, and his round face had lost a lot of weight. Now that he has arrived in the capital, he needs to be mended.

Prime Minister's Mansion

In the main hall of the Rongheyuan, the elegant and luxurious old lady Chang Jiashi is sitting in the main seat, and the prime minister Zhuo Zhonghai is sitting in the first place on the lower left. Below Zhuo Zhonghai is his wife Chang Meifeng.

Zhuo Jihong, the grandson of the Zhuo family, is seated first on the lower right. Below Zhuo Jihong is the eldest lady Zhuo Qinyue, and the second lady Zhuo Qinlan.

The old lady's eyes swept across the faces of the two granddaughters, her eyes were very pleased, Qinyue is sixteen this year, and she was born very upright, beautiful and elegant.

Qin Lan has just turned fourteen years old, her small face has just opened up, she is already very dazzling, she will definitely be a great beauty in the future, everything is good, everything is very good.

"Zhong Hai, how do you think about this matter?" The old lady asked Zhuo Zhonghai directly.

Zhuo Zhonghai pondered for a while, and then said: "Mother, this matter is not up to us to decide."

The old lady frowned, and said displeasedly: "Why don't we have the final say? Didn't Concubine Jiang agree a long time ago? Now that our children are so grown up, we can't delay it any longer."

Zhuo Zhonghai shook his head: "What Concubine Jiang said doesn't count, the emperor has to nod to count. After all, Prince Jing's marriage was originally arranged by the emperor. After all these years, although the emperor knew that Qinya had been missing for many years, there was absolutely no way to find her." It is possible to return, but he still does not let go of the divorce, as long as Prince Jing does not withdraw the engagement, his marriage cannot be discussed again."
