Early the next morning, while the sun was not so fierce, Qin Shan drove Qin Xiaoxiao and Hu Qingqing to the county town.

The three of them split into two groups. Qin Shan went to Deyilou and asked Xing Li about Prince Wang.

Xingli has a wide network of contacts and knows people from all three religions and nine schools. As long as it is a person named by Le An, he has many ways to find out the affairs of the other person's ancestors for three generations.

Qin Xiaoxiao and Hu Qingqing went to Meng's house, firstly to visit Zhou Baoer's family, and secondly to inquire about Mr. Wang.

Nowadays, the Meng family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and their connections have been established. In addition, they have lived in Le'an for a long time, and they must know more about the Wang family's affairs than the Hu family has learned.

Today, Zhou Baoer was at home and saw Qin Xiaoxiao with her hands full of gifts. She said angrily: "I am happy when you come, why are you bringing so many things?"

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "I haven't come to visit you for a long time. This is just a little thought on my part. It's not worth taking seriously."

"You're welcome to come to my place. Don't do this next time." Zhou Baoer took the gift and handed it to the maid, then took the two sisters to the main hall.

After a while, the two elders of the Meng family came over with Wan Wan. After some pleasantries, they excused themselves and left, leaving Wan Wan behind who was clinging to Qin Xiaoxiao.

Qin Xiaoxiao brought some gadgets to the little girl. After teaching her how to play, he let her play slowly by herself and talked about business with Zhou Baoer.

Zhou Baoer glanced at Hu Qingqing, guessed the reason why they were asking about the prince, and told her what she knew: "I have heard people mention that prince once or twice. He is said to be someone who knows how to be polite and progressive, but what kind of person he is, or... You need to find someone to ask."

Qin Xiaoxiao nodded to express his understanding: "Young Master Wang has only been in Le'an for half a year. It is really difficult to find out about his past. I'm afraid we have to find out his place of origin."

Zhou Baoer said with a smile: "There is no need to go to such trouble. There is a customer in the cloth village who is from the same hometown as Mr. Wang. He will come to pick up the goods in two days. I will ask you about it then."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't expect such a coincidence, and said happily: "Then Auntie Lao will be here."

Zhou Baoer waved his hand: "It's just a matter of a few words, so there's no need to be polite to me."

Hu Qingqing on the side breathed a sigh of relief. If Mr. Wang was a person worthy of being entrusted with her life, she would follow her family's arrangements and get engaged to him; if he was a man of bad conduct and full of calculations, she would definitely not agree.

Just thinking about Hu Biantou and others who already regarded the Wang family as their in-laws, she couldn't help but start to have a headache, and she didn't like their villainous appearance.

Sometimes she couldn't help but think that the better she married, the prouder they would be, but she didn't want them to be proud, and wished that their plans would fail and their happiness would be in vain.

Fortunately, she knew that this idea was wrong. No matter what Hu Biantou and others did, she still hoped to live the life she wanted, and would not ruin her lifelong happiness for these troublesome people.

Qin Xiaoxiao chatted with Zhou Baoer about business matters and learned that the Meng family's printing and dyeing workshop in the capital had received a lot of business and gained some fame. He couldn't help but feel happy for her. He talked about buying a hilltop to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms. thing.

"This is a good thing. When your silk is turned into cloth, you can bring it to my printing and dyeing workshop. You just need to pay for the dye and labor."

Zhou Baoer said cheerfully, and couldn't help but laugh a little: "I thought that after you married into the Princess Protector's Palace, you would be your Marquis in peace and contentment, but I didn't expect that you would be much more troublesome than me."

Qin Xiaoxiao did not say the reason for the "torsion", but smiled and thanked: "Then it's agreed, from now on the printing and dyeing will be left to your family's workshop."

After saying that, she suddenly realized that she had no intention of setting up a weaving workshop. She slapped her forehead and said, "I just want to raise silkworms. I don't want to continue weaving and selling cloth!"

Zhou Baoer thought for a while and suggested: "Let's get one. You don't need this little money. It's better than having someone lower the price in the future. If you don't want to go to such trouble, you can buy it in my shop."

Qin Xiaoxiao really didn't have enough money to buy a weaving workshop, but she did find it troublesome to get so many things at once. She couldn't help but persuade Zhou Baoer in turn: "Auntie, you don't have a weaving workshop at home, don't you think it's troublesome?

If so, why not get one."

Zhou Baoer shook his head, with a different kind of light shining in his eyes: "In the future, Meng's printing and dyeing workshops will be opened all over the country, and there will be no extra energy to set up a weaving workshop."

Qin Xiaoxiao was startled, and was instantly aroused with the ambition to do something big: "Then I will just open one. I will find more useful people in the future, so I don't need to worry too much."

Zhou Baoer said: "That's the reason. You can sell the cloth to me in the future. You don't have to worry about not being able to sell it because it's in your hands."

Qin Xiaoxiao smiled happily: "Are we a perfect match?"

Zhou Baoer also laughed: "We took advantage. In the future, when others find out that I do business with the Princess Protector's Mansion, they will not only look down upon Meng's Printing and Dyeing, but they will also be able to calm down those who have evil thoughts."

Qin Xiaoxiao heard this and said worriedly: "Someone is plotting against you?"

Zhou Baoer said casually: "Shopping malls are like battlefields. This kind of thing is inevitable. You will understand later."

Qin Xiaoxiao saw that she said it so easily, knowing that the couple could handle it, but still said: "If someone is trying to cause harm or bully others, aunt just come to me."

Zhou Baoer rubbed her head and said warmly: "If you really encounter a big problem that cannot be solved, I will not be polite to you."

After lunch at Meng's house, Qin Xiaoxiao and Hu Qingqing played with Wanwan for a while. When the little girl fell asleep, they said goodbye to Zhou Baoer and left Meng's house, arriving at the place they had agreed with Qin Shan.

Qin Shan was already waiting there and told the sisters what he had learned from Xing Li: "The prince's reputation is not bad. He likes to go to the theater to watch plays and listen to music on weekdays. I didn't hear that he went there."

Those no-nonsense places.”

After hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao felt that the prince's son probably had no big problem, so he said to Hu Qingqing: "If there is no problem with my aunt's reply in two days, it will only depend on your own willingness to make this marriage possible."

I don’t want to anymore.”

Hu Qingqing said cautiously: "Well, I will think it over carefully."

In the next two days, Qin Xiaoxiao and Mingyue will take advantage of the coolness of the morning to go into the mountains to collect herbs. The medicinal materials collected last time have been made by Mingyue and made into pills and powders with various effects.

This time, the two of them specially selected those herbs that are old and can replenish the body. These herbs will have better effects. If they are made into balls and sealed and stored, they can be stored for a long time, which is just right for Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao to use.

Qin Xiaoxiao was very tired after going up and down the mountain. On the third day, he stayed at home to rest, thinking about going to Meng's house again in the next two days to see if he could find out any specific news. It was almost noon.

, Zhou Baoer actually came over first.

She realized that the matter was serious and planned to call Hu Qingqing and Qin Taohua to her home so that the mother and daughter could hear it with their own ears.

Qin Shan did not let her go and rushed to Hu's house under the bright sun.

During this gap, Zhou Baoer told what he had learned. Qin Xiaoxiao was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a while: "Auntie, you mean that the person named Wang likes a man?"

Zhou Baoer coughed and said somewhat uncomfortably: "If that guest didn't lie, then Mr. Wang really likes a man."

Qin Xiaoxiao's face became very ugly: "That guest has no need to lie to you, what he said is probably true."

She knew how good Long Yang was from the book, but had never heard of such a thing in reality. Before she was ready to find out the details of the man named Wang, what she wanted to know most was his character. She never thought about what this man liked.

man.

The fact that he liked men was well known to the locals. It was because he hired a male actor and the actor's fiancée discovered it. The fiancée was so angry that she publicized the matter.

Men liking men is contrary to human ethics in the eyes of ordinary people and cannot be tolerated in the world. No wonder the man named Wang doesn't stay at home and follows Magistrate Wang all the way to Le'an. He is afraid that his reputation will be ruined in his hometown.

I simply couldn't stay any longer.

It's just that he likes men. That's his own business and no one else can care about it. But he should never put his thoughts on Sister Qingqing. Isn't this deliberately deceiving others?

It's just that the Wang family thought that the two places were far apart and that the good news about Wang's good fortune in Longyang would not spread to Le'an, so they rushed to marry him and even set their sights on Sister Qingqing.

Mrs. Miao and Lin Qiuniang on the side were also shocked. They had lived in a closed village for most of their lives and had never known that men could like men. For them, this was too shocking to the world.

Mr. Qin was relatively calm, but his brows were furrowed.

"What, what are we going to do?" Mrs. Miao was so anxious that she couldn't help complaining about the Hu family: "The marriage hasn't been finalized yet, and they were making noises outside. Everyone in the village knew about the marriage.

If the relationship fails, Qingqing’s reputation will be damaged again.”

Qin Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Grandma, if the person named Wang likes men, Sister Qingqing will definitely not be able to marry her, and this marriage cannot be concluded!"

Lin Qiuniang hesitated and said: "Perhaps Mr. Wang has changed after menstruation? He still looks good and has a good family background. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Qingqing to find someone better than him."

Seeing that her mother had such thoughts, the Hu family must also have the same idea, and it is very likely that they will continue to marry the Wang family. Qin Xiaoxiao said anxiously: "It's easy to change a country's nature, but it's hard to change it. How easy is it to change it? Even if he changes it now, what if he and the Wang family change it?

Qingqing returns to her old ways after getting married. What should Sister Qingqing do? Will she compete with another man for her husband all day long? "

Mr. Qin agreed with his granddaughter: "This matter cannot be taken lightly. Osmanthus fragrans and Qingqing will come soon. If they are undecided, let's try to persuade them to prevent them from being confused by Wang's appearance and family background."

Lin Qiuniang was completely speechless. Thinking about it carefully, she wouldn't want to take such a risk.

Mrs. Miao had nothing to say and said sadly: "Why is Qingqing's marriage so unsatisfactory!"

Qin Xiaoxiao felt the same way, and couldn't help but wonder if her ability was gone. She obviously wanted Sister Qingqing to marry a good family, but there were so many twists and turns, and these twists and turns were vaguely related to her.

After about an hour, Qin Guihua and Hu Qingqing arrived.

Hu Qingqing realized that everyone's faces were not very good-looking.

She didn't have much affection for the prince, so even if the marriage couldn't go through, she wouldn't be too upset, so she looked very calm.

Qin Guihua was different. She had great expectations for her to marry into the Wang family, otherwise she would not have left home work alone and rushed here in a hurry on a hot day, so she looked very impatient at the moment.

"Sister Zhou, you, what did you ask about?" She looked at Zhou Baoer cautiously, as if she was afraid of hearing bad news, and said to herself: "We asked about Mr. Wang before, and they all said that he is a good person.

.”

"Okay, if you stay in the village all day, what can you find out?" Mr. Qin couldn't stand it any longer. He was afraid that she would not be able to blame Zhou Baoer for being nosy, so he told Mr. Wang that he liked men.

Qin Guihua couldn't accept it and stammered: "This, this can't be true. How can a man like a man? Is it because he is mentally ill and confused?"

Qin Xiaoxiao said: "Nothing is impossible, this kind of thing is written in the books."

Upon hearing this, Qin Guihua asked eagerly: "Does the book say how to treat this disease? Will it be possible to become a normal person after marrying a daughter-in-law?"

Qin Xiaoxiao really couldn't answer this question, so she had to persuade her: "Little aunt, no matter whether it is a disease or not, Sister Qingqing cannot marry her."

Mr. Qin also advised: "There are many good men in the world, so there is no need to worry about someone who likes men. You'd better ask a reliable matchmaker to propose marriage to Qingqing."

Qin Guihua was unwilling to give up and felt that she could not find anyone more suitable than Mr. Wang. But seeing that her father and niece did not agree with Mr. Wang, she did not dare to say anything and looked at Hu Qingqing, who had remained silent: "

What do you think?"

Hu Qingqing said without hesitation: "I listened to grandpa and Xiaoxiao."

Looking at her mother who was hesitant to speak, she knew what she was thinking: "Mom, let's just think that the prince likes men because he has something wrong with him. Are you sure that if I get married to him, his problem can be cured?"

good?"

Of course, Qin Guihua was not sure, and felt confused: "This... as long as you keep him in check and don't let him go out to find men, this life will not be impossible!"

When Hu Qingqing heard this, she almost couldn't hold her breath: "Mom, I can control this if I want to! Even if I can control it, I don't want to waste my energy on it. Just give up on this!"

Qin Xiaoxiao was also speechless. If her mother said such a thing, she would definitely scold her mother to the point where she doubted that she would say such a thing.

Seeing that her daughter was really unhappy and there was no room for change, Qin Guihua said with a sad face: "Everyone in the village knows that our family is going to marry the nephew of the county magistrate. Now that you are not happy, I don't know how many unpleasant things they will say. You

It’s even harder to find a marriage.”

Hu Qingqing was not worried, but she couldn't ruin the rest of her life just to silence others. Her words became more intense: "Mom, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. I will definitely be able to get married and won't be disgraced as an old girl at home."
