Red Dust Daqian

Shen Qianrou thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed a rare opportunity. If handled properly, Qianmutang might become famous overnight.

Shen Qianrou, who seemed to have realized something, said to Shen Yueer, "Mr. Mumu, I'll listen to you. Qianrou will go and take care of it right away. I will definitely help you sponsor the Qixi Poetry Conference." Zhou Sen nodded with satisfaction and said to Xiangcao, "Qianrou, then you guys go first. Senior Sister and I will wait for a while before we leave. This way, if we leave at different times, it won't arouse suspicion from those who have ulterior motives."

Shen Qianrou had no intention of leaving, and continued to say to Shen Yueer: "Wait a moment. Senior Sister Xiangcao, did the handsome Li Qigong you mentioned come to the poetry conference today? Why, I didn't find the bad-looking guy you mentioned." Zhou Sen felt a headache when he heard this question. What a joke, he was just meeting with a spy to discuss important matters, and he didn't want to be discovered. Shen Qianrou took the risk of not letting Zhou Sen leave, and actually gossiped with Xiangcao about whether the bad-looking Li Qigong was present. She vomited blood.

Xiangcao's gossipy heart was instantly ignited, and she replied disappointedly: "I have been looking for him too, but I didn't see Mr. Li Qi. However, I did see the old man Yuwen next to Li Qi. When he appeared on the judges' bench, he caused quite a stir and people were watching." What the hell is going on? Two women talking about other men in front of him, isn't this just cheating on themselves? Zhou Sen couldn't care less, and pulled Xiangcao, who was chatting, away from Shen Qianrou.

Shen Qianrou yelled, "Mr. Mumu, what are you doing? Why are you dragging Senior Sister Xiangcao away? Senior Sister hasn't told me where Mr. Li Qi is?" Shen Yue'er also complained, "Master Mu, you are so stingy."

Xiangcao, who returned to the competition area, asked Zhou Sen, "Mumu, do you think Qianrou can do it? Will the King of Chu accept the glass statue provided by Qianmu Hall as the prize for the poetry competition?" Zhou Sen replied confidently, "Don't worry, the King of Chu will definitely accept Shen Qianrou's suggestion. Did you pay attention when we were reading the rules of the poetry competition just now? The prizes for the first and second place were provided by Jiangxiazhou Trading Company. I don't know if they have any tricks. However, the King of Chu likes glass statues so much, and he should be happy to use glass as a prize."

In the viewing area, Shen Qianrou immediately found the steward Liu of the Chu Palace to discuss the sponsorship of the glass statue for the poetry competition. Shen Qianrou said, "Steward Liu, I heard that there are additional prizes for the winners of this Qixi poetry competition? Qianmu Hall is willing to sponsor the poetry competition and provide an extra prize for the champion of the poetry competition. How do you think?"

It was really sad for a seventh-rank official like the prime minister's doorman to thread the needle. Manager Liu directly rejected Shen Qianrou's request and said disdainfully: "The prize for the first place in the poetry competition is not something that anyone can provide. It was the prize that the King of Chu personally drafted after reporting to the King of Chu before the poetry competition."

Shen Qianrou saw that Manager Liu was not very willing to help her, but this little thing was not difficult for the powerful Miss Shen. Shen Qianrou asked Shen Qianrou for 10 taels of silver and secretly gave it to Manager Liu, and sincerely requested: "We, Qianmu Hall, are engaged in the glass and ceramic business. Please help us, Manager Liu, and ask for help. I hope you will accept this small gift of sincerity."

Butler Liu took the silver without hesitation, and immediately smiled and said, "Oh, it turns out to be the famous Qianmu Hall. The prince still likes your glass sculptures. The glass horse sent to the palace last time was very good. I will ask for the girl, but the glass prizes provided by Qianmu Hall cannot be of poor quality. Otherwise, I will have a hard time explaining it."

Shen Qianrou secretly pouted, "You are really the one who takes advantage of others. How can the quality be bad? A middle-grade or low-grade colored glaze horse statue sold by Qianmu Hall can make the prince love it. Qianmu Hall has not even put out the truly top-quality colored glaze for sale. If it weren't for maximizing profits, I'm afraid it would shock you, an old eunuch, to death."

Shen Qianrou replied with a smile: "Manager Liu, don't worry, the glass statue provided as the prize for the poetry competition is not much worse than the glass horse that the prince won." Manager Liu sighed, wow, Qianmu Hall really spent a lot of money, the glass horse of that quality is almost out of stock, and they can actually provide a glass statue that is not as good as the glass horse statue as a prize, that's unacceptable. Manager Liu said excitedly: "That's fine. I will report to the prince right away, and the girl will wait for a moment."

Seeing Steward Liu's reaction, Shen Qianrou knew that the sponsorship of the glass statue was a possibility. After respectfully thanking Steward Liu, she directly arranged for Shen Yue'er to go back to Qianmutang to get a glass wolf.

Not long after, Steward Liu returned and said to Shen Qianrou excitedly, "The prince finally agreed, but it took me a lot of effort." What a waste of effort, it took a lot of effort. The actual situation was that when the King of Chu heard that Qianmu Hall wanted to use the glass statue as a reward for the champion of the poetry competition, he agreed without hesitation. Shen Qianrou understood that Steward Liu said this to seek credit in front of her, so she thanked Steward Liu many times and secretly gave him 5 taels of silver.

Just as the hour of Si arrived, there was a sudden commotion in the viewing area. A young woman with a scarf covering her face was seen walking slowly to the main stage of the viewing area, surrounded by many guards. The woman's face could not be seen clearly, but judging from the pomp and circumstance, it was certain that she was the child of a powerful person.

A man who looked like a eunuch shouted to everyone in a sharp voice: "Princess Wanning has arrived, everyone is here to greet her." After hearing the shout, all the people in the Hundred Flowers Garden bowed their heads and saluted, avoiding her gaze.

Wow, a princess came today. Zhou Sen had never seen a princess in this life or the next. He didn't know what the Daqian princess looked like, but the scarf on her head covered her face tightly, so he couldn't see her face clearly, which was disgusting.

The other contestants around Zhou Sen saw that Zhou Sen was staring at the princess without any avoidance etiquette, and they all pointed fingers at Zhou Sen. Zhou Sen didn't know the etiquette of avoiding the princess, and felt that everyone was puzzled and ignored them all.

"You bold demon, don't bow your head. You dare to be rude to the princess. Capture him immediately." The captain of the guards with a sword beside the princess saw Zhou Sen from afar, raised his head and stared at the princess, shouting.

After the captain of the guards gave the order, the guards quickly captured Zhou Sen who was spying on the princess without hesitation.
