Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 105 Old Xu, do you want a wife or not?

Mrs. Hu here is also not worried, probably did not hear the previous words, nodded with the same concern and said: "Everyone is right, His Royal Highness King Qin can't be taken care of, that is, my daughter is still young, otherwise Lao Hu and King Qin Your Highness's friendship, I will send it to the prince to be a concubine even at the expense of my old face."

"Ahem, that's that, what is the relationship between Shopkeeper Hu and King Qin? We are all envious, at least he is also a concubine. We are different, we are satisfied if we can be a maid." Everyone echoed.

Shopkeeper Hu blushed, and said in his heart, prodigal girls, where did I get such a big face?If there is one, let alone a young girl, even if one is born now, if I can book a place as a concubine, I will give birth to him.

Mrs. Hu gasped in surprise, "That's right, if you can't be a concubine, you can become a maid. In a few years, the maid will be able to wash and cook. I'll go back and ask her if she is willing..."

After speaking, he turned and went back to the back house.

Shopkeeper Hu looked at the bosses in embarrassment, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Ahem, please don't get me wrong, that's what I just said. I know why you are here. It's not easy to send someone to King Qin's side. Um, what..."

"Understood, we all understand, shopkeeper Hu needless to say..." Everyone held back their laughter and waved their hands.

At this time, shopkeeper Hu saw Boss Jin, and with a flash of inspiration, he turned his face straight and said: "It's fine for others, Boss Jin, you can't do it, you are a brothel owner, what is the identity of His Royal Highness Qin Wang? I have a relationship with you, How do people think of His Highness?"

"Bullshit, it's true that I run a brothel, my daughter is fine and clean, how can you see it that way? You... you all think that way?" Boss Jin was about to stab, and turned his head to look at the others. They all had the same eyes, and their hearts sank. Then they turned to look at the daughter, the child's eyes were full of sadness. At this moment, Boss Jin felt his heart pierce.

After a moment of silence, Boss Jin gritted his teeth and said, "I will close the brothel when I go back, and open a calligraphy and painting shop when I go back."

……

The crowd admired Boss Jin's courage very much. Shopkeeper Hu didn't bother, thought for a while, and said bluntly: "Everyone, you have also seen that I can't even talk about my own daughter, so what can I do for you?"

"I didn't let you do it. You just need to talk to His Highness and let him take a look. If you don't think that she is a little girl, we will give up." Boss Jin changed his mind and said in another direction.

Speaking of this, shopkeeper Hu refused, nodded and agreed, and made up his mind to visit King Qin in private tomorrow, and ask him a favor, and he shouldn't be scolded for giving him a beautiful woman.

The next morning, shopkeeper Hu took his son to visit Li Yuanying. Li Yuanying, who was growing vegetables in the backyard, was very happy. Lao Hu was one of the few civilian friends he had in Chang'an, and so many people flocked to curry favor with him. Hu Neng never forgets his original intention.

Ask Doudou to take shopkeeper Hu's son to play in the toy room. Li Yuanying and shopkeeper Hu sat opposite each other on the stone bench in the backyard and drank tea, very leisurely.

Seeing shopkeeper Hu who was fidgety and fidgeting, Li Yuanying laughed and said: "Old Hu, we are old friends. If there is anything, we can just do it directly. Don't shy away from it. Did you encounter any difficulties? Don't Because I'm a prince, you don't dare to speak, I'm still me."

Shopkeeper Hu was overwhelmed, his face turned red in an instant, he picked up the teacup and drank it down, boldly lowered his voice, leaned over to Li Yuanying and said, "Then I can talk."

... It's just the two of us here, so what?
Cough!

Shopkeeper Hu regained his tone, "Then I'll just say it straight! I heard that you are choosing a side concubine. Someone asked me to ask, do you want concubines and maids?"

What the hell?
puff……

Li Yuanying couldn't hold back, and directly sprayed the tea in his mouth all over Shopkeeper Hu's face. Hearing this tone, why is it so familiar?
A familiar movie scene involuntarily appeared in my mind: Old Xu, do you want a wife?

After a moment of contemplation, Li Yuanying asked with a serious expression: "What? Someone knows about our relationship and forced you to set up a relationship? How dare you! Who is it?"

"No, no, don't get me wrong. It's not persecution, nor is it a villain. It's just a few shopkeepers they know. They heard that you were choosing a concubine, so they found me. You also know that there are people all over the world. Thank you, so everyone is very concerned when they hear that you need someone to take care of you.

So a few shopkeepers brought their daughters of the right age to ask me for help yesterday. They wanted their daughters to come and take care of you. They also knew that their status was not enough, so they dared not ask for concubines and nobles, as long as they could be a concubine or a maid.

I thought, none of them are bad people, and they don't dare to have any bad intentions. It's not a bad thing to give them away to you, so I dare to ask you. "

Shopkeeper Hu explained nervously.

After listening quietly, Li Yuanying finally understood, and signaled to Lao Hu not to be nervous, but to be careful.

"Thank you for your kindness. The selection of the concubine was decided by the emperor's brother and the emperor's wife. You know, King Qin of the Tang Dynasty can't even have a woman by his side. It's not that I lack people to take care of me. The emperor's brother gave me the Qin Palace to support me. There are thousands of family members, but I just like this small shop. There are fathers and children in it. Who will take care of them? They are all girls from a good family. It would be great if they can find someone to marry. Wouldn’t it be nice to send them to be maids? I wasted my whole life, so don't mention it again."

Shopkeeper Hu laughed and said: "That's not what you said, this is your opinion. In the eyes of ordinary people like us, having the opportunity to serve His Highness King Qin is a blessing that has been cultivated in three lifetimes. To be honest, our group A merchant's child, marrying someone is nothing more than a merchant or at most a small official, but it is far inferior to a maid in the Qin Palace."

Li Yuanying interrupted and said: "Okay, you still insist on stuffing someone with me? Don't talk about it, hurry up and drink tea. If I promise you today, I guarantee that tomorrow your threshold will be broken. , the day after tomorrow, the entire West Market will be overwhelmed by people rushing to send their daughters, Lao Hu, who has nothing to do with the Tian family..."

this……

Hearing this, shopkeeper Hu's face changed, and he couldn't help but feel regret in his heart. After all, he was just a commoner, and he thought things simply, and almost made a big mistake.

Thinking of this, he stood up, not in the mood to drink tea, "I'm really sorry, it was my short-sightedness that almost caused a catastrophe, so I'll go back and refuse them, and thank you behind closed doors from today onwards, I promise not to add anything to you." trouble."

"Don't worry, drink tea before leaving..."

"Another day!"

After seeing off Shopkeeper Hu and his son, someone came from the palace and brought a big box. Li Yuanying opened it and saw, oh, it was full of portraits of beauties, and the box was full.

The servant Lao Gao explained: "These are the portraits of women sent by aristocratic families from all over the world to choose concubines. These people are coming to Chang'an one after another. The Empress said that there are a lot of people. Please make a preliminary selection based on the portraits."

Preliminary selection?
Li Yuanying couldn't help laughing, why did she feel like a beauty pageant in her previous life?It's just that I was the audience in the previous life, and I became the judge in this life.

"Old Gao, the initial selection is not a problem, but your portraits are too...too ingenious. They are simply representatives of the abstract art. Can you use this to see the beauty and ugliness of a person?"

"Ah? Your Highness, are you saying that these paintings are not good? But, these are all painted by the disciples of the master painter Yan Lide, who are already considered to be the most brilliant painters in the Tang Dynasty."

That's it?

Li Yuanying pointed to two of the portraits and asked, "Can you tell which woman is more beautiful in these two paintings?"

Without hesitation, Lao Gao pointed directly to the pair on the right.

"Although the two paintings are delicate, they only outline the lines of the characters without any three-dimensional effect. The two people have similar outfits and similar faces. How do you tell them apart?"

"Physique! Your Highness, the one on the right has a slightly plump figure, so it must be good for fertility!"

Pfft... Li Yuanying suddenly remembered something, Datang regards fat as beauty, could it be... I'm finished, so what beauty should I choose?This is not choosing a concubine, this is choosing a fat man!
