Chapter 177: The purpose is actually love brain?
Seeing Wu Huan's eager eyes, Bai Shi Tong couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say you liked the prefect? Seeing him pursuing another girl, don't you feel uncomfortable at all?"
Wu Huan hesitated for only a second before saying, "If he doesn't marry another woman, I will push him into the worldly and cruel place. If he says he wants to marry another woman, there is no problem with me being his mistress."
Baishitong raised his head slightly, his eyes showing admiration, "This young man is really brave."
"Then what about this concubine's daughter?" Wu Huan asked again.
"It's still the same, neither hot nor cold, and no one has been mentioned to say that she likes anyone. But I think as long as the young master doesn't marry, she would rather remain single. But this is just a rumor, and I don't know how much to believe. I also haven't seen her being affectionate to the young master. In short, this concubine's daughter is not an ordinary person." As the know-it-all said this, he rubbed the bracelet again, and kept looking at Wu Huan with a sly look in his eyes.
"I have money, I am really rich. Is there any secret about the prefect?" Wu Huan couldn't wait to speak.
Baishitong looked Wuhuan up and down and pointed at the table. "Pay the previous amount first. These are things that can be found out by just asking around. I won't make it difficult for you. 500 coins."
Wu Huan nodded and took out 500 coins without hesitation. Even though he cursed the profiteer in his heart, he still acted extremely calm.
"Do you want to know something else? I have some very exciting news now, but this..." After saying this, the know-it-all rubbed his hands.
Wu Huan immediately understood and patted his pocket, "Just tell me."
Know-it-all nodded with satisfaction. This kid is really smart.
"It's like this. I recently received a big order... Although it has little to do with the governor of Kyoto, the governor is happy to be involved in it, and it also has a very, very close relationship with this concubine's daughter." After saying this, the know-it-all smacked his lips, looking like he was struggling with whether to tell the news or not.
But after looking at Wuhuan's seemingly bulging wallet, he still spoke.
"I'm telling you, don't talk about it outside."
Wu Huan nodded in understanding.
"This young official has no stains, nor any scandals. He finally has a place he likes to go to, so naturally many people are eyeing him. The key is that the business of this place is getting more and more prosperous. I can't tell you where it is, but it was created by a very capable young woman.
Therefore, many people want to pull this young lady down from the altar of hard work and progress. But since Lord Shaoqing has no stain, wouldn't there be a stain if the two of them were put together?
This prefect loves to participate, and he just wants to find a companion for the Shaoqing. "The know-it-all said it vaguely, but Wu Huan already understood what he meant.
The other party wanted to use the gossip to tie Miss An and Shao Qing together, and use public opinion to make the two inseparable. When there was no other way, the two were paired together.
From now on, we will share honor and disgrace.
If Miss An did something wrong, she could also throw the dirty water on Shaoqing.
As for Miss An, that is easier to explain.
Although there are many women doing business in this era, there are still many people who think that the most important thing for a woman is to get married and have children. If the young lady stops here and is identified with her husband's family, then her small business will not be a big deal.
After all, such a big marquisate would not fight with other restaurants for the business of a daughter-in-law. After all, it has crossed the class.
What's more, many big families don't like their daughters-in-law to show up in public. With this back and forth, Kyoto restaurants will not be able to move to the next level.
So at the beginning, they threw mud at Kyoto restaurants and used public opinion.
If it weren't for the Kyoto governor's backup plan, they wouldn't have been able to accomplish anything.
No wonder the prefect secretly asked An Qiao to find the Shaoqing.
They are really just trying to gain a little bit of business without considering the consequences.
Know-it-all saw Wu Huan didn't move and thought he was frightened. "Hey, it's just a small matter, why are you so nervous? People say it's better to destroy a temple than to ruin a marriage. Don't be so nervous. After all, what we want to promote is a beautiful love, not something that can't be put on the table."
"But...but...are Shaoqing and that young lady willing?" Wuhuan stuttered.
"You are still concerned about others. The prefect has put a lot of thought into that concubine's daughter. It's useless for you to try harder. And if the young master doesn't like that young lady, why does he go there every day? Is it really because the food is delicious? I don't believe it. I have eaten in the most expensive restaurants in the capital, and I don't have that kind of obsession." Know-it-all was a little disdainful. Since he made money, he has not been to that kind of cheap restaurant. Therefore, he has never been to the Kyoto Restaurant since it opened, no matter how popular it was.
Wu Huan nodded, "Master, do you have a way to get the prefect not to marry that concubine's daughter?"
The know-it-all rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm just a news seller, not a real matchmaker."
After that, he rubbed his fine red bracelet again and said, "Give me the money. Today's news is quite informative. Three silver ingots."
Wu Huan took some time to get out three silver ingots. Know-it-all saw that he was reluctant and couldn't help but snorted, "You were the one who asked me to tell you, and now you're reluctant again. I told you that this news is expensive, I'll only sell you three hard nails, and I still think it's not enough! It's about a hand of cards tonight."
Wu Huan handed over the silver, nodded slightly, and prepared to leave.
After all, Baishitong was not a gangster, and he did not do anything beyond the rules. He just said as he turned to leave, "Remember to keep it a secret. If you ruin the prefect's business, I don't know if you can survive."
Wu Huan nodded timidly, "How could I harm our prefect? Since he likes her, I will help him marry her."
As he spoke, he wiped his eyes, as if tears were really flowing out.
Know-it-all quickly waved his hand and let him go, feeling disgusted by such a grown man.
Wu Huan left the alley quickly, he had eaten a lot of melon. He couldn't wait to go back and share this gossip with everyone, but he couldn't help but think that it was really a ghost, this man was sitting at home, and his wife came from the sky.
I have seen people giving out candies, cakes, and eggs, but this is the first time I have seen people giving out wives.
Perhaps it was because many people had tried to provoke the young lady several times, but were stopped by Lord Shaoqing, and after finally causing trouble in her shop a few times, the young lady remained so calm and composed.
The opponent couldn't stand it anymore and could only use this method to try to get rid of Miss An.
Wu Huan walked and laughed, never expecting that matchmaking could one day become a means of business competition.
