Chu Xiang and Li Bohan, this fake couple, were becoming more and more in sync with each other. They could show off their love at any time and place. Chu Xiang, this Qin Wangfei, was also becoming more and more confident and arrogant with each passing day.
Anyone who wanted to send women to Li Bohan would be kicked out by Chu Xiang, as if Li Bohan was her last life-saving straw. Even if she died, she would grab onto him and not let anyone touch him. However, Li Bohan would always stand on Chu Xiang's side with a doting expression. As long as Chu Xiang was happy, it was fine. He even told them to exchange women for jewelry. Chu Xiang would definitely like it.
Since Li Bohan was like this, everyone had to send some expensive jewelry over. Chu Xiang's treasury immediately became rich.
In just half a month, the entire Jing City knew that Qin Wangfei was a jealous woman through and through. Her personality was very fierce and she couldn't tolerate Qin Wang taking concubines.
Chu Xiang became a jealous wangfei as an abandoned concubine of the cold palace and enjoyed Qin Wang's special favor. People were puzzled and speculated whether she was secretly seductive. Their hearts were full of jealousy, but they didn't know whether it was disdain or envy. Qin Wangfei's reputation as a jealous woman spread like wildfire. She really did block all the women sent to Li Bohan.
In exchange, she often disguised as a man to go out of the fu to understand the business situation in Jing City. Occasionally, she would need help from Li Bohan's confidants and no one would fool her. Li Bohan's advisors saw that not only did she not cause trouble, but she also helped a lot. Their rejection of her lessened, but they still thought that their lord's main wife should be a daughter of a noble family. They didn't recognize Chu Xiang as the mistress of the house.
Chu Xiang didn't care about Li Bohan's subordinates. They didn't have much interaction in the first place. She also planned to create a complete economic chain in this dynasty and then break away from Li Bohan's power.
Business had a very low status in ancient times, but she had no choice. With her current skills, business was the most reliable. As long as she was strong enough to control the economic lifeline, she would have a way to raise a private army. With Prime Minister Chu's help, she would definitely have a place and no longer be controlled and looked down upon.
Chu Xiang had a clear understanding of the status of women in this dynasty. She did not feel that she could easily become powerful here. Using and being used was the only way for her to become strong. One day, she would be able to do whatever she wanted in this dynasty. At present, as long as she coaxed Li Bohan, she would be able to obtain the greatest freedom, which was much better than other women.
On New Year's Eve, the palace held a New Year's Eve banquet. Consort Hui, who had been treated coldly by the Emperor for a few days, vented her anger on Chu Xiang. Originally, she wanted to teach her a lesson, but Li Bohan was already preparing to return to the station. He didn't want to cause more trouble, so he protected Chu Xiang the entire time. Chu Xiang didn't even say a few words, let alone go anywhere else. Consort Hui didn't even have a chance to harm her.
Zi Yu and Fu Tai also stood guard beside the two of them, determined not to let any "careless" palace servants dirty Chu Xiang's clothes. Consort Hui had the system, but she was helpless in this situation. She could only watch as Li Bohan doted on Chu Xiang, wishing he could hold her in the palm of his hand. Then, as soon as the New Year's Eve banquet ended, he took her away.
The King of Qin asked to leave and return to the station. The Emperor naturally didn't care. After probing for so long, the Emperor had completely believed that the King of Qin was a brainless fool who wouldn't cause trouble. With such a worry-free Imperial Uncle, he was happy to act like he liked him. He had always been very good to people who followed him.
Chu Xiang and Li Bohan sat in a comfortable and luxurious carriage, slowly leaving the capital. Chu Xiang held a cup of hot tea and read a book. Her expression was natural, as if it was just a simple spring outing.
Li Bohan looked at her for a while and was a little curious. He picked up the book in front of her and looked at it. He wondered, "Folklore? What book is this? It's a mess. It's all about folklore and it's not even certain if it's real or fake. You like reading this? "
Chu Xiang leaned against the soft pillow, "If you want to make a lot of money, you naturally have to understand the people first. I grew up in the Prime Minister's fu and entered the palace as a concubine. I didn't have the chance to understand these things. Now, I'll take a look and then go deeper into the folklore. I'll be able to quickly understand what the people like. "
Li Bohan laughed, "You really plan on dressing up as a man to do business? Doing business isn't as easy as you think. It's not something that can be made just by moving your mouth. It's very tiring and bitter. How can a delicate sister like you endure it? If you're worried that you won't have anyone to rely on in the future, I'll give you some shops and fields. You can let the people below take care of them. They'll be your dowry. "
"Weren't the jewels that those people gave me my dowry? I want more than that. Don't forget the conditions you promised me. In any case, no one knows that Qin Wangfei is doing business, so you don't have to stop me. If something happens to me, you can announce that Qin Wangfei has died of illness. No one will suspect or care. "Chu Xiang drank a mouthful of hot tea. Her words were neither fast nor slow, but the meaning in her words was very firm.
Li Bohan slightly frowned, "You really want to split up with me? I've been away from the station for so long. I must take the water route back as soon as possible. Also, I must take most of my people with me, just in case. If you dress up as a man and take the land route back to the station, you'll be a few months later than me. It's also very dangerous. I don't even know if you're still alive. Also, your father will be exiled soon. I'll rescue him to the station as soon as possible. Don't you want to see him soon? "
Chu Xiang rubbed the rim of the cup and shook her head, "It's not important whether I see him early or late. What's important is that my father is well. I've written a letter. When the time comes, you can give it to my father. After he reads it, he will naturally assist you. I hope you can treat my father well. "
"Prime Minister Chu is very talented, so I will naturally treat him well. There's also one more thing that I can't explain to Mufei. Also, Qin Wangfei won't show up or go over … … "
Before Li Bohan could finish, Chu Xiang interrupted him with a smile, "Wangye, you can't be reluctant to part with me, right? Your words … … Do you think it's interesting? If you can't even handle this small matter, how can you talk about great things? You agreed to let me do business because you want to see if I have the ability. Then just let me do it. If I don't succeed on the way to the station, then I'll obediently play the role of Qin Wangfei in the future. If I have a big harvest, then let me show off my skills. I'm also helping you. How about it? "
Li Bohan helplessly said, "I can't beat you every time. Why do you have so many fallacies? Now, other than me, there's no one else who will indulge you like this. Alright, you're a good wangfei. I can only be a strategist. You take care of yourself. I'll wait for your good news at the station. I hope you'll succeed. "
Chu Xiang revealed a bright and beautiful smile and raised her cup, "Thank you, Lord, for your appreciation. I'll use tea instead of wine to toast you."
Li Bohan clinked his cup with hers. Seeing her smile, he felt like he had been bewitched. This amazing woman who could act, act coquettishly, and do things, how could he treat her like a block of wood by his side every day? Thinking of being separated, his heart felt empty. This feeling of having someone perfectly cooperating with him was too good. With just one look from him, Chu Xiang knew how to respond. This was something even his mother couldn't do.
Chu Xiang made him have no worries, but thinking about it, this was a woman he had just met. He didn't know her very well, so how could he have such strong feelings for her? He felt like he was used to having her by his side. He sighed in his heart and finally agreed to her request. This was really a kind of indulgence, but he wanted to indulge her once. He wanted to see if she could spread her wings and soar into the sky. He was looking forward to it.
When they were far away from the capital, Chu Xiang separated from Li Bohan with a group of guards. She didn't take Zi Yu with her. This kind of thing was not suitable for Zi Yu. She let Zi Yu go directly to the station.
She and the guards disguised themselves as a caravan. When she was in the capital, she secretly got a batch of goods. At this time, they only changed a few carriages, and they were no different from other caravans.
Chu Xiang often chatted with the guards along the way, asking them where they were from, where they had been, and what they knew. She learned a lot about the local customs, as well as what they had and lacked. She took advantage of the differences in the regions she would pass through along the way and began to sell a large number of goods. Every time she arrived at a place, she would stay for a few days and find a partner.
At first, the guards were just loyal to their duty to protect her safety and were not very convinced by her. As a result, they slowly watched Chu Xiang sell the goods at a high price and negotiate with all kinds of people. Every time, she could obtain the greatest benefits and make friends with business people. Their view of Chu Xiang completely changed.
In particular, Chu Xiang, a delicate girl, was not afraid of hardship or tiredness. Sometimes, when they did not rush to the town and slept in the wilderness, she did not complain. She could also arrange everything in an orderly manner. She was not like a woman in the back house at all, but a big businessman outside.
They were gradually convinced by Chu Xiang and began to take the initiative to do things for Chu Xiang. They really became a caravan.
Chu Xiang amassed a large amount of wealth. From reselling goods to buying and selling prescriptions, recipes, and so on, there would always be people who would sell their precious things at a low price when they were down and out. These things could always find a wealthy buyer somewhere else. This was not only making money, but also accumulating contacts. And after these things passed through Chu Xiang's hands once, they were all recorded in Chu Xiang's mind. They were all her wealth.
Chu Xiang went to many towns and even villages. She signed agreements with dozens of shopkeepers and agreed on the time to escort the goods. Since ancient times, there were different ways of doing business, but there were also similarities. Chu Xiang had studied for dozens of years in her first life and became one of the world's top businessmen. She was very good in this area. She used the method of investing with ideas again. She often hit a wall, but she still managed to get a lot of connections.
The guards who were with her admired her more and more. They were already willing to follow her and no one had any complaints. They all felt that they were wang fei's people. In any case, when wang ye gave them to wang fei, they were like this. They were definitely loyal to wang fei.
After a full five months, Chu Xiang's group finally arrived at Qin Wang's residence. She disguised herself as Lin Mu and brought a large sum of money to seek refuge with Qin Wang. Qin Wang attached great importance to her and personally met her.
The advisors were very confused. Even if Lin Mu brought a lot of wealth, it was not enough for wang ye to meet her. There were many rich merchants who were richer than Lin Mu. Why didn't wang ye attach any importance to her?
The only advisor who knew the inside story kept his mouth shut. He did not dare to reveal anything, but his heart was very shocked. He thought that something had happened to Chu Xiang outside. Who would have thought that Chu Xiang would succeed. In just five months, she had earned so much money and connections. In the long run, Chu Xiang would become their money bag. If Chu Xiang really had a high talent in accumulating wealth, then wouldn't wang ye be like a tiger that had grown wings? This Princess Consort really can't be underestimated!
