The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

Pei Yi took a sip of tea and said to Liu Ji, "Yousi, Censor Liu has no choice but to do this. You are the only child in your family. Your mother was injured when she gave birth to you. She has not had any children for so many years. Your father refuses to take a concubine. How dare he put you in danger?"

Liu Ji drank a sip of wine in annoyance and said, "But look at how the military commanders of the Great Jin Dynasty have withered now! The Zhao family can only guard the west, and the northern border has been in constant turmoil. If there is trouble in the country one day, can we count on those civil officials? If I go with you, although I can't beat Yu Heng, I can at least beat Hua Manxi, who can't hold a sword! I am the only one, and Hua Manxi is even better. If even he can go, why can't I?"

Pei Yi put down the teacup and said, "Manxi is not as useless as you say. He is not good at martial arts. Many weapons in the barracks are much more powerful after being improved by him. Although you are good at martial arts, you have never been on the battlefield, so you should not be blindly confident."

Liu Ji scratched his head in annoyance and said, "I can't even if I want to! Where can I get a chance to fight with real guns? Let's not talk too much, drink! Don't just drink your tea, you promised me when you went to the northern border that you would accompany me until I was drunk when I came back."

After saying that, he handed a wine glass to Pei Yi.

Pei Yi took it and put it on the table, refusing: "I am in the recovery period, and the Crown Prince's wife said that drinking is strictly prohibited. You should drink less too."

Liu Ji laughed again, "Wow! Pei Nandu, Pei Nandu, who are you? Look at the unruly temperament of Zhuiyun and Huadiao. You are their master, the eagle on the battlefield of the northern border, how can you be so docile and obedient! You are really screwed! I am really more curious about my sister-in-law."

The word "sister-in-law" undoubtedly pleased Pei Yi, and he didn't care at all about Liu Ji's teasing him.

He took a sip of tea and said, "Then let's do it tomorrow. I'll bring her here tomorrow night and you can discuss the details with her."

Liu Ji immediately perked up and said, "Okay! Tomorrow at 11:00 p.m., I'll be waiting for you and my sister-in-law in this private room!"

In the evening, when Pei Yi returned to the Prince of Yan's mansion, he told Xie Zhichan about Liu Ji's maternal grandfather's family. Xie Zhichan was surprised and said, "Prince, how did you know that I was worried about the supply of goods for these two stores? How about this, I will give you a profit dividend, and I will add another 10%, so I will give you 30% every year."

Previously, Pei Yi named a painting logo for Xie Zhichan's shop, but Xie Zhichan insisted on settling the bills clearly as a fake couple. Pei Yi couldn't persuade Xie Zhichan, so he had to accept her profit-sharing contract.

Now, upon hearing Xie Zhichan's attitude of not wanting to take advantage of him at all, his face darkened and he said, "Do you really have to be so clear with me?"

Xie Zhichan smiled and said, "The more you work, the more you get. This is what you deserve! Even when Xiao Liu'er and the other two worked for me, I gave them extra money."

Pei Yi frowned and asked, "Am I the same as them in your eyes?"

Xie Zhichan looked at Pei Yi and thought seriously for a while, then shook his head and said, "Prince——" Then he said in Pei Yi's expectant eyes, "Xiao Liu'er and I went through hardships together on the way back from Northern Xinjiang, Mai Sui took care of me, Yue Yan protected my life, and you, Prince, are now just my creditor and partner. In my heart, the Prince is of course different from the three of them."

Pei Yi was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard her talking nonsense in a serious manner.

Xie Zhichan actually had some feeling about what Pei Yi was saying, but Pei Yi didn't point it out clearly. She didn't want to misunderstand him, and subconsciously she was afraid that her "fox tail" would be exposed, so she always wanted to avoid this question, and simply adopted the attitude of "if you don't poke this layer of window paper, then I won't poke it either."

She didn't want to dwell on this matter too much, so she changed the subject and said, "Young Master Liu has made such a great effort, should I also give him a share of the profits?"

Pei Yi immediately said: "You can't give him more than 30%!"

This is his last act of stubbornness!

Xie Zhichan felt amused and touched his ear, saying, "Okay, I'll just give him 10%."

Pei Yi then felt a little relieved. After all, he was closer to A Yuan than Liu Ji.

On the second day, Xie Zhichan arranged for people to put up plaques for the three shops, and re-arranged the shelves. He hung several paintings of ladies produced by Liu Yanzhai in the lobby, all of which had the logo of "Qianyuan Pavilion" on them. He also added a bronze mirror on the counters of the rouge shop and the jewelry shop.

Although Xie Zhichan wanted a glass silver mirror, the current productivity level of the Dajin could only provide bronze mirrors. She had to make do with it for now, and after getting in touch with her grandfather's family in Lingnan, she would see if she could really buy a few silver mirrors from the Nanyang merchants to exchange them.

After such a busy day, it was already evening time without me noticing.

Xie Zhichan hurriedly changed into a clean dress in the dressing room of the clothing shop, and asked Mai Sui to re-brush her hair into a dignified and steady Chao Yun Jin Xiang bun. She then put on a more luxurious tourmaline peony hairpin, and still held her hair back with a white jade pearl tassel.

As soon as he walked out of the door of the clothing shop, he saw Pei Yi's carriage parked at the door of the shop. Xie Zhichan lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Pei Yi sitting inside.

Pei Yi had been staring at Xie Zhichan since she walked out of the shop. He saw that she had changed out of the dark green clothes she had worn this morning and put on a pink and purple double-breasted narrow-sleeved shirt and a lotus-colored pleated skirt with silver gauze.

The whole person looks dignified and charming.

He couldn't help but stare in amazement.

Even after Xie Zhichan got on the carriage, his eyes were still on Xie Zhichan.

Under Pei Yi's aggressive gaze, it was hard for Xie Zhichan not to notice that he was staring at her.

She couldn't help but look at Pei Yi and asked, "Is there anything dirty on my face?"

Pei Yi shook his head, raised his eyebrows, and said, "It's only afternoon now, why did the Crown Prince's Consort change her clothes? It's only early summer now, she shouldn't sweat during the day."

Xie Zhichan finally understood what this man was doing. He must have thought that she had changed her clothes in order to meet a strange man.

She glanced at him and said, "You won't sweat in the daytime, but you will get dusty. When you are talking about business, you should dress yourself properly to show respect to others. Don't your saintly books say 'A gentleman should dress properly and look respectfully'?"

Although Pei Yi was very unhappy, he had to shut up.

Xie Zhichan could see that he was feeling awkward, and he didn't know what was causing this bastard's possessiveness, as it was clear that he was not even his.

But she still explained: "I am doing this for your sake. You can't go to meet your friends in a sloppy manner."

Sure enough, when he heard that it was for him, Pei Yi's expression instantly brightened.

Only Xie Zhichan understood his temper and complained to Pei Yi in his heart.

The two arrived at Shuiyun Tower, and the waiter quickly led them to a private room.

Liu Ji had been waiting in the private room for quite a while. When he saw them come in, he only glanced at Xie Zhichan and greeted her with a smile, "Yousi greets my sister-in-law."

Xie Zhichan returned the greeting.

Liu Ji smiled at Pei Yi again and said, "I was wondering what kind of fairy could melt the ice sculptures in Northern Frontier. It turns out that she is really a fairy-like sister-in-law!"

He spoke casually, without any disrespect, so Xie Zhichan just smiled.

Liu Ji enthusiastically acted as a host and led the two of them inside. He asked the waiter to bring up the good wine and food, then closed the door of the box and the three of them sat down together.

The waiter came back quickly and served all the dishes, and brought two pots of Lihuabai and a cup of Biluochun, before closing the door of the box again.

The three of them then started talking while eating.

The conversation was mainly between Xie Zhichan and Liu Ji, while Pei Yi was responsible for picking up food for Xie Zhichan.

Liu Ji originally wanted to drink a few more cups with Xie Zhichan, but Pei Yi only let her drink one cup, which meant that they knew each other from then on, so he never let her drink again. This made Liu Ji feel a little bored, and he kept asking when Pei Yi's injury would be completely healed. When Pei Yi recovered, he would definitely find Pei Yi and get drunk.
