A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Lin Wuchen leaned closer and whispered, "Boss Liu may not know that Princess Yongjia and Princess Chaoyun have a close relationship with the Crown Prince. And that General Chen is valued by Princess Yongjia."

"Boss Liu thought, if he becomes the Crown Prince someday..."

He pointed upwards and continued, "Then the Li family will rise rapidly. General Chen will naturally become prosperous as well. How can he not remember the kindness of the Liu family?"

"When Magistrate Liu needs to move up one day, the Liu family will have a say."

"The most important thing is that the Liu family got exactly the money they deserved."

Liu Qing was able to build such a large business from scratch, so he was certainly not stupid. After a little thought, he understood what Lin Wuchen meant.

"Third Young Master, are you saying that I told General Chen directly that I wanted to help my brother find a future?"

"This is a good idea, but I can't let the Lin family pay for it. Wouldn't that mean I'm taking advantage of them?"

Lin Wuchen waved his hand and said, "Boss Liu, please don't be polite to me. The Lin family's business in Huzhou still relies on Lord Liu to take care of it."

"Besides, we both get what we want. I am doing good deeds to repay my debts, Boss Liu is getting a favor from General Chen, and General Chen is also buying the house he wanted. This is a good thing that kills three birds with one stone."

Lin Wuchen's few words made Liu Qingxi smile.

Then Lin Wuchen gave Liu Qing 20,000 taels of silver and told him to hand over the house to General Chen on the 15th.

Liu Qing was puzzled and asked him why. Lin Wuchen explained mysteriously that this was the day the master had calculated for him to repay a favor.

Liu Qing suddenly realized that May 15th was indeed a great day for Buddhists. He did not think that Lin Wuchen's behavior was abnormal. Anyone with a large family would have consulted a monk or Taoist priest to calculate their fortune and play with Feng Shui.

After Lin Wuchen left, Liu Qing went to Li's house and asked to see Chen Ping.

Chen Ping didn't know what Liu Qing was going to do, but for safety's sake he didn't bring him into the mansion. Instead he went to a restaurant outside and found a private room.

After the two sat down, Chen Ping asked politely, "Boss Liu is anxious to see me, is there something wrong?"

Liu Qing personally poured tea for Chen Ping, then said with a smile: "Didn't General Chen take a fancy to my house before? I thought about it and decided to give it five thousand taels. It is a blessing for the house that General Chen takes a fancy to it."

As he spoke, he handed over the tea in his hand.

Chen Ping did not show any joy on his face, nor did he take the tea.

"Boss Liu, if you have something to say, please speak up."

Liu Qing suddenly gave him 20,000 taels of silver, saying he didn't believe it without a reason. He didn't dare to get involved in something that fell from the sky.

Liu Qing smiled and carefully handed the tea to Chen Ping.

"Don't worry, General Chen. I'm just trying to make a good relationship for the Liu family."

Chen Ping looked at him suspiciously, picked up the tea and took a sip.

Seeing this, Liu Qing continued, "I know that General Chen is deeply trusted by Her Royal Highness the Princess. I just hope that one day when the Li family reaches the top, General Chen will still remember the Liu family."

Chen Ping knew that Liu Qing's brother was the prefect of Huzhou, so he could naturally understand the meaning of Liu Qing's words.

He was going to use 20,000 taels of silver to bet on the future of the Li family. If he lost the bet, it would be nothing to lose 20,000 taels of silver.

But if the bet is really won, it would be a smooth road for the Liu family.

Chen Ping lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said, "Will the Liu family not make any demands that would embarrass this general? I am only a fifth-rank general, and I am afraid that my ability is limited and I can't help the Liu family in any way."

Liu Qing smiled and said, "General Chen, you are worrying too much. I will sell the house to you for 5,000 taels of silver, and you will buy the house for 5,000 taels of silver. This is a transaction between us, and I can still threaten you with the deed."

"Besides, you don't have to belittle yourself. If the Liu family needs help, we will be thankful if you can help introduce them. Otherwise, with the status of the Liu family, I'm afraid they won't even be able to enter the gate of the Li family, let alone... talk to that person."

Chen Ping no longer had any doubts at this point. Knowing that the Liu family was after the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Yongjia, he felt relieved.

"Boss Liu, do you want to use this house to make friends with me? If I refuse, it would be too disrespectful to Boss Liu."

Chen Ping also had a smile on his face. He had looked at many houses for sale in the capital, and only the one owned by the Liu family was worthy of Li Chaoyun.

When Liu Qing heard Chen Ping say this, he knew that the matter was settled. He ordered the waiter to bring up the good wine and food, and he drank some wine with Chen Ping.

The two agreed to go to the government office to sign the documents tomorrow and complete the transaction three days later.

*

The transaction between Liu Qing and Chen Ping went smoothly. After signing the documents, Liu Qing specifically told Lin Wuchen about it.

In the blink of an eye, it was May 15th, and Su Qingyu got up with Shen Zhixiu in the morning.

When Shen Zhixiu was changing his clothes, Su Qingyu helped him straighten his collar and cuffs, and suddenly asked, "Chen Ping and the Liu family are handing over that house today. He should take Li Chaoyun to have a look, right?"

Whether today's event can be accomplished depends entirely on when Li Chaoyun goes to the new house. Although she will go sooner or later and the plan can be postponed, today's opportunity is rare.

Su Qingyu tried to stand in the man's shoes and speculate on Chen Ping's actions.

But she is not a man after all, so she can only speculate.

Shen Zhixiu said casually: "She should go. If she doesn't go, we can only find a way for her to go."

Of course, they had prepared for this method. However, a deliberate strategy would eventually reveal its clues, and it was not as natural as Chen Ping's own decision.

Su Qingyu asked, "If the Third Master gets a nice house, will he immediately take his beloved woman to see it?"

The two stood face to face, Su Qingyu raised her head slightly, waiting for his answer.

Shen Zhixiu put his arms around her, holding her slender waist with a little strength, "How can your husband afford to buy a house? If you want to buy one, you should use Qingqing to buy a house, and it's better to support your husband."

He said these joking words seriously, and Su Qingyu glared at him, "Third Master, you are not serious."

Shen Zhixiu said seriously: "I guess he will bring Li Chaoyun with him today. This house is not just a private meeting."

Su Qingyu looked at him in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Shen Zhixiu smiled and said, "Chen Ping's father was a retainer of the Li family. Although Chen Ping is not considered a servant in the Li family, his status is definitely not that high."

"He was born a military commander, and he bravely fought on the battlefield. How could such a person be willing to be a subordinate of the Li family?"

"Buying a house is just a way for him to look good on himself."

Su Qingyu's eyes lit up, and she felt that what Shen Zhixiu said made some sense.

"So, the first thing he should do after getting the house is to take Li Chaoyun with him. In that house, he is not a retainer of the Li family, nor a subordinate of Princess Yongjia."

"He is a man of integrity, Li Chaoyun's man, and the head of the family."

At this point, Su Qingyu suddenly laughed, "If such a person is given a chance, he will rise to prominence. He can wipe out the entire Li family for the sake of his own dignity and respect."

This is human nature. When a lame man can walk, he will definitely throw his crutches far away.

Before Shen Zhixiu left, Su Qingyu sent him to the main door and said, "Leave Chen Ping and Li Chaoyun's affairs to me. We can send someone to report any news at any time."

Shen Zhixiu nodded, walked a few steps and then turned back to give instructions.

"For things like this, you should do your best and leave it to fate. You can't force yourself to take risks."
