Chapter 517: Poached?
"How much is it?" Zhou Chang was still "ambitious" a month ago.
But after a month of "live streaming with goods", it was all "small-scale" activities, which completely exhausted the newfound will.
The viewpoint system did not answer, but displayed nothing in front of it.
[Level: Upper Nine-Three]
【Commission: -3,826,600 taels】
【Order: 133】
Zhou Chang was lying on the rocking chair. He raised his eyelids and became more and more dissatisfied: "Why are those more than a hundred orders still hanging? I told you that they are for the new princess. I won't touch any of them."
It has somewhat worked since the conversation a month ago.
Yuan Yun no longer does things that cause trouble, and she even went back to her parents' home some time ago.
Zhou Chang didn't stop him.
After Yuan Yun went back, there was no response from any party.
Zhou Chang could feel more at ease.
Even Yuan Yun's attitude gradually softened. She would meet with Zhou Chang intentionally or unintentionally, and they would chat about daily life from time to time.
This made Zhou Chang even more relieved.
It seems that verbal communication is not completely useless. At least Yuan Yun should have taken her words to heart.
The days seemed to have returned to the way they were before.
Apart from the renewed pressure of money, Zhou Chang gradually felt that everything was over.
When Yuan Qi was around, Zhou Chang had a bright future for money, so he dared to expand his business.
She supported everything Prince Yi could think of, including building dams, orphanages, shelters, and expanding medical clinics and pharmacies.
However, since Yuan Qi left, he took the initiative to return the business dividends between the two.
These businesses have become bottomless pits that cannot be filled no matter how much money is spent.
Even though Zhou Chang's "live streaming sales" business is not doing well, it has at least made some progress. But when I think about Prince Yi's affairs, I feel helpless.
Just as he was about to continue worrying, the skinny monkey came running in from outside: "Your Majesty, I heard a piece of news, I wonder if you want to know."
Without Yuan Qi's small kitchen to eat and drink, Skinny Monkey not only lost weight, but also became a lot lighter.
Zhou Chang was not interested and was not prepared to say anything.
The thin monkey answered his own question directly: "I heard that the top scholar Wen got married today."
"Who are you talking about? Wen Qingyan?" Zhou Chang suddenly jumped up from the rocking chair.
"It's him." The skinny monkey went over and pulled Zhou Chang up from the chair that was shaking back and forth.
Zhou Chang asked before he could even stand still: "Who is he marrying? Miss Yuan? Where is Miss Yuan? Has she returned to Jindu? How did you know the news?"
After a series of questions, the skinny monkey had no time to answer, so he just picked out the answers he knew: "Your Majesty, I only heard that the top scholar in literature seemed to marry the daughter of Wuwei General Lu Hui, and it has nothing to do with Miss Yuan."
"Why isn't it Yuan Qi?" Zhou Chang didn't know what was going on in his heart. "Why is it like this? Why did Wen Qingyan go and marry the daughter of some general?"
"She is the daughter of General Lu Hui of Wuwei." The skinny monkey repeated it again. This was what he had deliberately inquired about.
Zhou Chang's head was full of questions, and he could no longer care about so many things: "You said he got married today? Come on, I want to go and ask clearly."
Unless she marries Yuan Qi, no matter who Wen Qingyan marries, it would be equivalent to stealing Yuan Qi's "corner", right?
The skinny monkey curled his lips in disapproval: "Your Majesty, what are you doing there? What are you asking? The top scholar got married, but he didn't invite us."
Zhou Chang was anxiously looking for clothes: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and put on your clothes. I want to go find him and ask him clearly."
"What do you want to ask?" The skinny monkey went to the other side of the screen and brought out a long outer robe for Zhou Chang to put on.
Zhou Chang hadn't digested this sudden news yet, and he felt even more "bitter" so he had to change the subject: "You are sure it's today, right? Where is the mansion where Wen Qingyan is getting married? Since you heard about it, you must be able to find out, right?"
As he spoke, he sat down in front of the bronze mirror again, at least he did not forget to comb his hair.
"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry. It's not even noon yet. The wedding will be held at dusk." The skinny monkey took his time and started to comb Zhou Chang's hair. "I heard that the top scholar bought a new house in Jindu for his wedding, which is near East City. But Your Highness, if you really want to go there uninvited, what are we going to do when we get there?"
"You know that very well. Just take me there later." Zhou Chang was unable to answer the skinny monkey. She didn't even know what she was going to do there, but she was determined to go.
"Your Highness, are you going just like this?" The skinny monkey combed his hair into a bun in no time, but the hint he gave in front of the mirror was obvious.
Zhou Chang's mind was already a little confused after hearing the news. It was not until a white jade hairpin was inserted on his head that he remembered: "You mean I need to prepare a gift for my son?"
The skinny monkey gave a "what do you think" expression.
After all, they were going to attend the wedding, and they were not planning to steal the bride. Zhou Chang also agreed: "That's right, then quickly... go to the warehouse and see what's left of the gifts from the previous wedding. Take whatever you can with you."
Naturally, Prince Yi and Yuan Yun received another wave of gifts at their wedding.
However, because he began to lack money again, Zhong Yu also went back to his old business. He pawned everything he could in exchange for silver, and then opened a shop.
So, although Zhou Chang was anxious, he still had to pick and choose. He felt that the gown he had just changed into was too casual, so he changed it. After a lot of trouble, he finally got on the carriage after noon and rushed to Wen Qingyan's new residence.
It was already dusk when the two arrived at Wen Mansion.
Wen Qingyan was standing on the steps in front of the mansion in a bright red wedding dress, ready to welcome the bride.
With the looks of "Flawless Prince", he should be handsome no matter what he wears or where he stands.
However, the first thing Zhou Chang saw when he got off the carriage was a "sick" tree falling in the wind.
Wen Feiwen Qingyan, who should be a beautiful man with a dazzling beauty, looked like a man in red wedding clothes. His haggard and slightly sick face, although still handsome, had no expression at all, like a dead man.
The moment he saw Zhou Chang, he was shrouded in a layer of frost: "What is your Highness Prince Yi doing in my house?"
"Why did you get married?" Zhou Chang was also very straightforward.
There were not many guests at the Wen residence. If it weren't for the red silk and red lanterns hanging on the porch, it would not have been possible to tell that a wedding was being held. It also seemed that the ceremony was deliberately not to be lavish.
The skinny monkey was pulling Zhou Chang from behind, and even though there were not many people around, they were still going in and out.
What's more, now is the time to welcome the bride, and all the guests are crowding at the door, waiting for the sedan chair to land.
When Wen Qingyan heard Zhou Chang's question, he felt even more shaky, but he still managed to remain calm: "Why does Your Highness Prince Yi ask this?"
"Talk to me for a few words." Zhou Chang didn't want to stand at the bottom of the stairs and look up at Wen Qingyan, so he went up and pulled Wen Qingyan to the porch.
