Reborn to love Lord Qiansui Chapter 60 part 1

Chapter 60 The prelude of the marriage alliance (1)

Yang Ji knew that he was unable to contend with Lin Qing and that his family would never accept Zhao Zimu, but he still said that he could do anything for her. Was he stupid? Naturally, he was not.

If one wants a woman’s heart, one must first capture that heart. There were many infatuated women in the word and many heartless rats. One could imagine how crazy a woman could become for love.

Yang Ji wanted to rely on his family background and that he had one more leg than Lin Qing, plus his sweet words to let Zhao Zimu fall in love with him. Afterwards, Zhao Zimu would leave Lin Qing on her own initiative because of her love for him. Like this, he would get two birds with one stone; he didn’t actively provoke Lin Qing. Lin Qing’s anger would only be vented on Zhao Zimu by then. Also, he could get his junior sister. It could be said such thoughts were very sordid and contemptible.

• A penis is considered a third leg in China.

Zhao Zimu didn’t expect that her senior brother’s mind was so vile. They had known each other for so many years. If he didn’t go against the rules, she wasn’t willing to truly have a fall out with him. He got a palm from Zhao Zimu this time because he had touched Zhao Zimu’s bottom line. As long as he knew that there was no next time, she could ignore him. Only Lin Qiansui…Zhao Zimu suddenly had the urge to go buy a washboard.

Lin Qing had sent someone to eavesdrop, but he wasn’t so stupid as to let Jia Yi and Jia Er leap onto the roofs and vault over the walls. Moreover, the people at Qingyu mountain practice martial arts all year long and they might be discovered by them. The most important thing was that they were not far away!

So, Jia Yi and Jia Er secretly went to listen at a corner of a wall. One listened and the other used his powerful martial arts to convey the conversation between madam and that handsome fool to Lord Qiansui…

That was why Lin Qing could know what they spoke about and let Jia Yi gave Yang Ji a warning lest that guy act recklessly and still wanted the person who was his.

Because of the proximity, Zhao Zimu learned that Lin Qing had sent someone to follow her and as expected, by the time she went back, Lord Qiansui was already waiting for her with pursed lips.

Others may be frightened when they see this action of Lin Qing because from their point of view, this expression of the old eunuch was extremely evil and he must be angry. So, someone would definitely suffer! Zhao Zimu only felt that it was cute. Although, vinegar is sour, but it is good for the body.

• Eat vinegar is being jealous in Chinese.

Zhao Zimu walked to him, touched his forehead with her lips and said, “Why are you angry? I won’t bother anymore with him in the future.”

Lin Qing’s expression eased a little, but then he smiled gloomily, “I want to confiscate all his possessions and exile him. What do you think?”

“Too heavy!” Zhao Zimu said sincerely. After all, he was someone who has some relation with Qingyu sect. Confiscate his possessions and exile him was a bit too heavy.

“Then, tell me one that I am satisfied with, otherwise, I will do it as I want!”

This overbearing remark made Zhao Zimu’s head hurt. Who caused him to provoke Qiansui?

Lin Qing wouldn’t spare him. If only he was scolded, he could pretend to not have heard it. After all, there were many more coarse fellows at court who scolded him more than Yang Ji. However, when the person that is in his heart was scolded, he would want him dead. Even if not dead, he would want to cripple him.

“Half of his household’s wealth?” Zhao Zimu probed. Yang household got rich in the south because of the business in cloths. Everywhere in the south had Yang household’s shops. Everywhere, the money was several tens of thousands. They were a first-class wealthy family among the locals.

Half of the household’s wealthy was a huge amount of money. It was conceivable that if Yang household couldn’t bear such a big blow, it would be difficult to raise their heads again under the suppression of the local wealthy merchants.

Lin Qing casted Zhao Zimu a glance and reluctantly accepted. Zhao Zimu kissed his forehead and said, “Let’s go.”

Emperor Jinghui agreed to the Xiongnu’s marriage proposal and agreed to marry princess Ningan to their second prince Mu Ke. As soon as the spring arrives, the Xiongnu would send an entourage to fetch Great Liang’s princess.

No matter how one looked at this, it felt a bit weird. Such a hasty marriage made people feel that the Xiongnu doesn’t have good intentions. However, it was already a foregone conclusion. Even if someone wanted to say something, it was useless. So, the palace became busy.

A marriage of a princess was a big matter. No one was not nervous. The busiest departments were the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue.

The Ministry of Rites was mainly responsible for preparing all the matters related to the marriage of the princess. The procedures, etiquette, dowry as well as the personnel who would marry with the princess should be regulated. After reporting to the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue would check the list, calculate the required funds and allocate the money from the state treasury.

If the palace didn’t have the thing needed for the marriage, they had to but it outside the palace. If outside of the palace didn’t have it, they had to make it themselves. Also, these had to be reported to the Ministry of Works and they had to convene craftsmen to manufacture things for the marriage.

The old maids in the palace were also busy teaching the princess the etiquettes of marriage and teach the princess everything she had to pay attention to before the marriage. These affairs in the palace would be taken care of by Lin Qing.
