Chapter 349 She can be made a noble concubine
Qi Zhen looked at Wei Ruo unscrupulously, with a look of disappointment in his eyes.
Nothing special is Qi Zhen's summary of Xu Heyou's evaluation.
Listening to Fan Chengxu's description, he thought he could at least stand out a little more, but he didn't expect it to be such a young man who couldn't be recognized among the crowd.
If he saw this on a normal day, he wouldn't even look at it.
Feeling Qi Zhen's eyes sizing him up, Wei Ruo also looked at him subconsciously.
Upon seeing this, Fan Chengxu introduced the two of them: "Yes, this is the He You brother I mentioned, and he is my business friend."
After answering Qi Zhen's question, Fan Chengxu said to Wei Ruo: "This is Brother He You. Mr. Qi from the capital, he happened to be drinking tea at my place today."
Fan Chengxu did not tell Wei Ruo Qi Zhen's name, but this description made Wei Ruo guess the identity of this person.
He is from the capital, his surname is Qi, and he can be Fan Chengxu's guest. He should be the third son of the Qi family, Qi Zhen, as Chu Lan calls him!
Don't tell me, it's okay to look like this. With a delicate and handsome face and a pair of peach blossom eyes, it is indeed quite charming to look at.
It's just that she's still a little worse than Chu Lan, let alone her second brother.
"I've met Mr. Qi." Wei Ruo greeted Qi Zhen politely.
Qi Zhen responded with a smile: "Mr. Xu, I have long admired your name. Mr. Xu's tea and wine are very good. Ever since I tasted them at Brother Fan's place, I have always wanted to meet Mr. Xu himself." "I'm afraid I have to let Mr. Qi
. I'm disappointed, I'm just a common man doing small business to make ends meet." Wei Ruodao.
Fan Chengxu said: "Brother He You, please stop being so modest. What you are doing is not a small business. You don't know how popular tea and wine are." Qi Zhen also said: "Yes,
this tea and wine The wine is indeed very good, especially this wine. Even in the capital, I have never tasted such a mellow liquor."
"Brother He You, please sit down and have a cup of tea." Fan Chengxu enthusiastically invited Wei Ruo to take a seat.
Fan Chengxu didn't really want to deal with Qi Zhen, but it was hard for him to drive away Qi Zhen if he came.
And Xu Heyou was the person he wanted to see and talk to. After finally meeting him today, he couldn't let him go.
Wei Ruo thought for a moment and then sat down in the vacant seat.
Fan Chengxu poured tea for Wei Ruo himself.
Seeing Fan Chengxu pouring tea diligently, Qi Zhen said with a smile: "I have been with Brother Fan these past two days, and I heard him praise you several times, saying that you are the most interesting person he has met in Taizhou Prefecture." "Boss Fan is crazy
. Okay, I'm just a vulgar person who loves money, I can't be called interesting." Wei Ruodao.
"What a coincidence, the people sitting here today are all common people." Qi Zhen said, put away the fan in his hand, pointed at Fan Chengxu and said, "Brother Fan also loves money, and I love beauty." Qi Zhen said about his love for beauty
. I never shy away from this and admit it very generously.
"Oh? Did Mr. Qi meet any beauties when he came to Taizhou this time?" Wei Ruo asked. "The land south of the Yangtze River is indeed rich in beauties, and I did meet the woman I like. She is weak, boneless, charming, and quite different from those who grew up in the capital." Qi Zhen commented.
"Master Qi must take good care of it and find a wife as sweet as water. In the future, her red sleeves will be more fragrant, and her nephrite jade will be warm and fragrant in her arms. A thousand pieces of gold will not exchange for it." Wei Ruodao.
Hearing this, Fan Chengxu smiled: "Brother He You, if you have such an idea, it means you still know too little about Mr. Qi. Mr. Qi has a high status in the capital, and the beauty from Taizhou Prefecture cannot be his legitimate wife. , he is just acting for the occasion."
Qi Zhen said: "Brother Fan, please don't say that I am like a libertine who plays with people's emotions. I sincerely pity the beauty. Although I can't give her a status, I won't. Damn it, as long as the beauty is willing, I am willing to give her a serious status and take her back to my home as a noble concubine."
Fan Chengxu said: "It has been rumored recently that the second lady of the Wei family had a secret meeting with a man . Is it you who had a private meeting? Do you still want to take her back to be your concubine? "
Qi Zhen replied with a smile: "As long as the Wei family agrees, it's not a bad idea."
Fan Chengxu said: "Let me remind you, although the Wei family has declined, their ancestors have been prominent and their titles have not been removed. You How can the Wei family agree to have their legitimate daughter be your concubine?"
Qi Zhen said, "That's their Wei family's business. If they don't want to, I can't force it. I really like the second young lady of the Wei family. Her delicate appearance is unforgettable for me. She is the most unforgettable among the many beauties I have met so far."
Fan Chengxu smiled and said: "Speaking of which, Miss Wei's reputation is also bad now. I'll do it for you. It’s not impossible to have a concubine, but it’s just a hardship for the well-known
eldest lady of the Wei family.” They are all legitimate daughters of the Wei family. If the second young lady becomes a concubine, it will definitely affect the eldest lady. As long as there are some No decent family would ever marry an eldest lady as their official wife.
"Then it has nothing to do with me." Qi Zhen smiled. In the eyes of someone like him, the situation of the Wei family's two daughters was not worthy of his concern.
Wei Ruo listened to the conversation between the two, sipping her tea without interrupting, like an outsider listening to gossip.
Fan Chengxu suddenly turned to look at Wei Ruo and asked: "Brother He You, are you interested in beauty? If so, come with us to listen to music at Yanmeng Pavilion tonight." Fan Chengxu invited.
"No, I'm more interested in making money." Wei Ruo declined, and then asked Fan Chengxu, "Why did Brother Fan come to see me recently?" Fan Chengxu
did not answer immediately, but turned his head and glanced in Qi Zhen's direction, and then said : "I want to ask Brother He You, can you give me a few extra jars of Thyme?"
Qi Zhen was present, and some things were inconvenient to say, so Fan Chengxu could only choose what he could say.
"Why does Boss Fan want to ask for a few extra jars of thyme?" Wei Ruo asked.
"It's your fault that this wine tastes so good. Nowadays, many people in the capital care about me asking for this wine." Fan Chengxu said helplessly.
Fan Chengxu further explained: "A while ago, the young master of the Lu family, Lu Yuhong, got several jars of thyme from somewhere and had them transported back to the capital to honor his grandfather. His grandfather loved wine, and after drinking the thyme, he praised He kept talking. He also invited his drinking buddies to taste the wine together, which spread the word about the wine. Knowing that the wine came from Taizhou Prefecture, they all came to me, even people in my family asked me to ask for it. Come on."
Anyone who can be the drinking buddy of Mr. Lu family is a very important person in the capital.
Such a group of high-status people all fell in love with thyme, so naturally there was a group of people who wanted to join in the favor and find wine as a gift.
Qi Zhen also said: "If there is any surplus, you can also sell me two jars. I am willing to pay a high price."
