Chapter 473 Where to find a bride to marry?

Prince Changping looked at Qi Yizheng eagerly, and He Linzhang also looked at him, thinking that Qi Yizheng knew everything about him, and if he really married Princess Xinlan, it would not be impossible to confer a title of marquis on him.

He Linzhang had already thought about Qi Yizheng's wealth and glory for the rest of his life, but Qi Yizheng said inexplicably: "My family has already discussed a marriage, and if it's fast, the wedding will be completed this year."

He Linzhang narrowed his eyes and asked, "Which girl is this?"

Qi Yizheng made up his mind: "She is not a noble lady, it's just... it's just that we haven't reached an agreement yet. I will report to His Majesty when we have reached an agreement."

He Linzhang raised his eyebrows: "I've kept this in mind. We must get married this year." He Linzhang thought that Qi Yizheng was only one year younger than him, and he already had a group of children. It was time for this companion who grew up with him to get married.

The quick-talking Qi Yizheng was just looking for an excuse to fend off the Prince of Changping, but he didn't expect His Majesty to take it seriously! He was in a state of confusion, wondering where he could find a bride to marry in such a short time.

"What? You are getting married this year? Who?" Madam Qi asked while calculating today's accounts.

The Qi family was not a wealthy family. Qi Yizheng had six older sisters, all of whom were married. He was the only son, and had served His Majesty for many years, but his marriage had never been settled. When she heard him say that he wanted to get married, Mrs. Qi was very surprised.

"I just lied. Prince Changping was looking for a marriage for his daughter, Princess Xinlan, and asked me about it. I thought our Qi family was not good enough to be in the palace, so I lied to His Majesty that I was already discussing marriage. I didn't expect His Majesty to be so anxious that he actually said that I must get married this year. Big sister, do you know anyone with a family of similar status to our Qi family? Please help me introduce them to someone."

Madam Qi has been living alone with her children since her husband died in battle. How could she have any social life?

"I stay in the shop all day, so I don't know many people. I don't attend any banquets in the capital, so I don't know if there are any girls of marriageable age waiting to be married." Madam Qi glanced at Qi Yizheng and said, "Why don't you ask the imperial concubine for help? Maybe one of her relatives or friends will have someone who knows her background."

Qi Yizheng hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, if the Imperial Concubine knows, then His Majesty will definitely know. I have already said that I am already discussing marriage. If I don't even have a partner now, doesn't that mean I am deceiving the Emperor?"

Qi Yizheng looked sullen, and Madam Qi was also in a headache: "What should we do now? We can't just find a girl on the street, right?"

"Boss, boss, are you asleep?" The brother and sister were talking when they heard Jiang Yingying's voice coming from outside.

Madam Qi got up and opened the door for her. Seeing her standing outside the door a little awkwardly, she asked in confusion, "Why don't you go to rest so late? Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Yingying touched her head and said embarrassedly: "I wanted to sleep, but I was too hungry and didn't fall asleep. The door to the front yard was locked again, so...can you give me the key first? I'll go get some food and put the money on the account."

Madam Qi's eyes widened: "Can you still eat more? Didn't you add an extra bowl of rice for dinner?"

Qi Yizheng popped his head out from behind Madam Qi and said, "Big sister, give her the key. I'm hungry too, so bring me some food too."

Madam Qi was speechless when she saw these two foodies.

Watching Jiang Yingying go to get food, Madam Qi suddenly thought of an idea. She looked at her brother and asked tentatively: "What do you think of Yingying?"

"What's going on?" Qi Yizheng asked in confusion.

"Aren't you anxious to get married? What do you think of Yingying? Look, she owes me a lot of money. She must have to work in the shop for the next two years. She seems to be quite diligent, lively and cheerful, and quite likable. But there is one bad thing about her, she eats too much!"

After saying that, he glanced at Qi Yizheng and said, "With your salary, if you two spend it, I think it will be a disaster."

Qi Yizheng choked. It seemed as if he and Jiang Yingying were already married. Why was he already thinking about the financial expenses?

"Big sister, you should find someone suitable again. I really can't afford to feed someone who eats so much."

After Qi Yizheng finished speaking, he asked curiously, "You just said that she owed a lot of debts in the shop? How much did she owe?"

Madam Qi's account book was right beside her, so she flipped it open and took a look: "She owes another five taels recently, and now she owes twenty taels. Oh, let's see how much food she brings later, and we have to put it on the account."

Qi Yizheng: “…”

"The longer it takes, the more she will owe. I don't know when she will be able to pay off her debts and redeem her indenture." Madam Qi shook her head. She was really worried about this girl.

After Jiang Yingying took back the food and handed the key to Madam Qi, she stretched out her hand to Qi Yizheng: "Here, it's the errand fee."

Qi Yizheng frowned: "It's just such a short distance, and you're still charging me for running errands?"

Jiang Yingying looked at him calmly: "Then I have to collect it. I have a huge debt now. I can scrape together a little to pay off the debt first."

She looked like "It's not easy for me, don't be stingy", which almost made Qi Yizheng laugh.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you." Qi Yizheng took out his purse, took out some change and handed it to her, then turned around angrily to eat.

Jiang Yingying smiled happily: "Thank you, General Qi. Please enjoy your meal. Boss, I'll go back to my room first. Please write down the bill in the notebook."

Jiang Yingying left with a happy face, and Qi Yizheng said angrily: "Sister, you see, I really can't go to her, otherwise she will make me broke! She is so stingy, she even charges money for helping me get things, she is calculating to the extreme."

Madam Qi looked at her brother with amusement and raised her eyebrows, saying, "I think you dote on me and are willing to give me money. You actually gave me twenty coins for running errands."

Qi Yizheng choked and his face turned red: "Which eye of yours saw me pampering her? I want to beat her up! Humph, you dare to ask me for money, so stingy."

Madam Qi just smiled and said nothing. It seemed that she had to find an opportunity to hint at it and see if the girl had any feelings for this silly boy.

Jiang Yingying has recently felt that her boss is watching her silently. She used to work in that industry and was very alert to the surrounding environment, so she could sense any slight abnormality. She wondered if she had done something wrong and made her boss worried.

But she couldn't ask directly, so every time she noticed her boss's eyes looking at her again, she worked extra hard, for fear of displeasing her boss and ruining her livelihood.

In fact, it’s not entirely because she can make money in this shop. The most important thing is that the food in the shop is delicious, and new items are often launched. She can’t eat it if she leaves here.
