Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

It's incredible that such a cold person as the Crown Prince can have such a gentle side!

What is the relationship between Master Xia and the Crown Prince?

Could it be...it shouldn't be, the prince is not that old, it is impossible to have such an old son!

Could it be...the prince's long-lost brother? Never heard of it!

Of course, there is also a type of gossip commentator who expresses "it's true", but on the inside...

Xia Chuntao didn't want to know their inner thoughts, she just wanted to end this weird quiet atmosphere quickly.

"Sir Zheng, in March next year, our villa will be the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom. If our Rongcheng Speech Party is held, I would like to do my best."

The free speech meeting is held once a year, usually in mid-March, and lasts for ten days each time. Mainly, representatives of various university schools gathered in Rongcheng to promote the ideas of their own schools and conduct debates.

The Talking Conference was a very important gathering of literati, not only in Vinh Thanh, but also in the whole of Dai Viet. By then, leading figures from various university schools in the north and south will gather in Rongcheng for poetry gatherings, debates, and theoretical lectures...

For the literati in Dai Viet, it is a literary feast, but for Xia Chuntao, it is the best advertisement.

In the past, free speech meetings were led by the prefect of Rongcheng and co-organized by the city's chamber of commerce and well-known gentry. When Fatty Zeng was the prefect, he squandered all the money allocated by the court to organize activities. In the end, all the expenses were settled by the chamber of commerce and the squires themselves, and everyone dared not speak out.

Now that the prefect has been replaced by Zheng Zhiping, everyone still doesn't know much about the new prefect, and no one wants to be the first to do it.

Besides, Changyan will be in March next year, and it’s still early. Who would have thought that Master Xia would mention this at this stall!

Not long after Zheng Zhiping came to Rongcheng, he gradually straightened out the big and small affairs in Rongcheng. He just needed a platform to express himself. How about speaking out? What a good time!

"You can rest assured that if it is held in our Taoyuan Villa, I will definitely make all the talented people who come to participate in the poetry meeting feel at home, and I will never lose the reputation of Rongcheng."

Zheng Zhiping stroked his beard and glanced at Xia Chuntao.

The young man can talk!

"Rongcheng's reputation", rather than "his master's reputation", because he knows the importance of Rongcheng to himself as a prefect!

"For specific matters, you write a plan to me, and I will apply for funding from the court as appropriate. But you have to be mentally prepared, the funding may not be too much."

Everyone at the table was stunned. What's going on?

Just a few words to settle the matter of the Free Talk Club? Is it too hasty? So many of us have yet to express our opinions!

Moreover, in the past, it was jointly organized by several companies. Looking at the current situation, Taoyuan Villa will host it exclusively?

The most important point, Mr. Zheng said, is to apply for funds from the imperial court! In the past, there was never any funding, so everyone just managed to get it done.

Isn't this Xia Manor Master very lucky?

Everyone was unconvinced, but who gave them a big backer?

The president of the Rongcheng Chamber of Commerce is the most unconvinced person among them. After all, the chamber of commerce used to contribute the most money and effort. Over the years, the Changyan Conference every year is like his own son. Now the son has to find a new mother. Can the old mother Agree? Definitely not!

"Sir, is this decision too hasty? In the past, several of us jointly organized it, and the literati who came to participate were also very satisfied. Master Xia Manor..."

The president of the Chamber of Commerce quietly glanced at Ling Qingxuan and saw that his expression was calm, so he bravely said: "Master Xia is young after all. He has no experience in holding such a large-scale cultural gathering. It is inevitable that there will be omissions. How about..."

"How about this, how about you all submit a plan to me, and whose plan is the most suitable will be adopted?"

Xia Chuntao's eyes lit up, isn't this equivalent to a tender!

What's the problem with this? The more detailed the plan, the better, but the budget is not as small as possible. It must meet the court's funding requirements. Just ask the prince to help find out about this!

Sure enough, there are people in the court who are easy to do things with!

Everyone also thinks this method is fairer.

Therefore, on the grand day of the opening of Youranju, Xia Chuntao gained a number of competitors.

After drinking for three rounds, Zheng Zhiping asked Ling Qingxuan, "This little brother, Prince, is really young and promising. I wonder where his family is and who is in his family. Is he married?"

Ling Qingxuan glanced at Xia Chuntao, half-smiling but not smiling, "Why, Mr. Zheng wants to be her matchmaker?"

Zheng Zhiping has three daughters. The eldest daughter and the second daughter are both married. The younger daughter has been the most favored since she was a child and has a lively temper. Zheng Zhiping wanted to find a man as his son-in-law who could tolerate his daughter and support the family business.

Such a son-in-law is not easy to find. He couldn't reach someone with a high family status, and he didn't want to. If his family status was too low, he was afraid of mistreating his daughter.

Master Xia is very suitable! Be smart, understand people and the world, be generous and don’t care about others, and the most important thing is that you still have money! If my daughter gets married in the future, she will not suffer hardship.

As for looks...

Master Xia's appearance is a bit unmanly, but it doesn't matter. If he has a beard in the future, he should still be able to see it.

When the young couple has a child, he will become an official and work with his wife to raise their child. It’s very beautiful!

By the way, I still don’t know who is in Xiaoxia’s family? What will happen when Xiaoxia's parents also fight for their children? How about letting my daughter have more children...

"I'm afraid Mr. Zheng will be disappointed. Xiaoxia has four children."

"What a wonderful child! When the time comes... eh?"

"Master Xia is already married?"

Zheng Zhiping's sweet dream was shattered by Ling Qingxuan's words, "He looks very young!"

Ling Qingxuan turned to look at Xia Chuntao. At that time, she was listening to several big businessmen talking about business. Shui Mengmeng's big eyes were full of energy, like a good student who listened carefully to the class.

"I heard that the fox demon in the mountains can live hundreds of years and is still as beautiful as seventeen or eighteen years old. Xiaoxia may not know what magic she learned from the fox demon, so she looks young."

Zheng Zhiping was shocked by Ling Qingxuan's nonsense.

I have never seen the prince speak so freely. Is this still the commander of the Dragon and Tiger Guards who made everyone in the civil and military circles fearful?

"Is the prince drunk?" Zheng Zhiping asked carefully.

"Drunk?" Ling Qingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Maybe..."

After this day, "Youran Ju" became famous among the rich and powerful in Rongcheng. Many wealthy people heard about the luxury and uniqueness of "Youran Ju" and were eager to try it. Suddenly, not to mention the private rooms on the second and third floors, even the buffet on the first floor was hard to find.

Xia Chuntao finally experienced the rapid decline of "making money every day".

I am so happy!

The happy Xiaoxia classmate embarked on the road to the capital again.

The capital of Dai Viet is similar to what Xia Chuntao imagined, prosperous and heavy. There are officers and soldiers patrolling each main street from time to time, and there are many cars and horses that need to be avoided. It feels not as comfortable as in Rongcheng.

But no matter what, this is where the rich and powerful gather.

It’s good to have more powerful people. Xiaoxia is good at making money from rich people!
