Chapter 27b: Big Plan to Make Money
In the past, because Nangong Chen was originally Luo Qing Luan"s unmarried husband, and also because this marriage was personally appointed by the deceased empress, he had never considered having his eldest daughter, Luo Qing Shuang, replace his other daughter"s position. Instead, he took a fancy to that revered Prince of Chu, Nalan Ye.
But later, the rumors regarding the erotic ill.u.s.trated books occurred which directly led to Luo Qing Shuang"s reputation reaching rock bottom. Don"t even think about climbing towards Nalan Ye, he"s afraid even a regular official wouldn"t be willing to bring this kind of daughter-in-law into their family.
Therefore, when Nangong Chen was willing to cancel his engagement with Luo Qing Luan and marry Luo Qing Shuang instead he agreed without the slightest hesitation.
As far as what he owed his eldest daughter, after all, with her ident.i.ty as an aristocratic daughter, yet becoming a concubine, how could he not feel guilty about it? Even though he knew that w.a.n.g Xue Ru"s request was somewhat unreasonable, he still did not think much on it.
But he certainly did not antic.i.p.ate that Luo Qing Luan would hit the nail on the head and pointed out that his blunder which might possibly drag the entire general"s mansion to drown in the water.
"Qing Luan, Father has carefully thought about what you said. It is indeed somewhat reasonable."
After all was said and done, he felt somewhat ill. Luo Cheng spoke in a gloomy voice. "Then let"s not talk to Fifth Prince about having him personally escort the bride. Let"s immediately choose a propitious day and just have Luo Qing Shuang sent over there."
"Father—-" Luo Qing Shuang"s face also ashened.
"Master, can this matter still be……"
Luo Cheng directly interrupted w.a.n.g Xue Ru by raising his hand, then said, "No need. I"ve already made up my mind about this matter. Everything is to be kept simple. Right now, I"ll visit Fifth Prince"s Mansion and choose a propitious day together with him. You and Qing Shuang should make preparations, so that there"ll be no issues when that time comes."
Finished speaking, he also didn"t eat his meat and just turned and entered an inner room to change his clothes, getting ready to leave.
Once Luo Cheng left, Luo Qing Shuang also could no longer control her rage. "Luo Qing Luan, are you satisfied this time?"
"What is Elder Sister saying?"
Luo Qing Luan smiled faintly. "I"m truly looking after your interests as to avoid everyone encountering a mishap. Since Father has commanded, Elder Sister and Father"s Concubine should hurry and go make preparations. Oh yeah, I have yet to congratulate Elder Sister for marrying her ideal husband. I still have things to do, so I won"t disturb you."
Finished speaking, she turned around and left without looking back.
……
After she"d settled this matter, Luo Qing Luan felt invigorated. All of the slight gloominess that she felt in the past when Qing Shuang picked on her was swept away cleanly and neatly.
"My Lady……" As Dai Yue put the room in order, she asked curiously. "Is the side madam really going to send the eldest lady into Fifth Prince"s Mansion surrept.i.tiously?" Wonder if the side madam will truly be able to bear it. When that time came, perhaps it might get interesting. Too bad she wouldn"t be able to see it.
Luo Qing Luan"s eyes shined. She was in the middle of writing the sequel to that book she delivered to Boss Li last time and casually blurted. "That"s correct. When the time comes, it"s a pity that her head will surely be covered by the veil, and we won"t be able to see her sobbing face."
No matter, she truly wasn"t very interested in Luo Qing Shuang getting married to Fifth Prince. What mattered to her more was what"s the best way to make money as soon as possible. Also her acupuncture techniques, she also want to quickly become skilled at it.
At present, her current body was truly much clumsier than her former body.
Once she finished writing this book, Luo Qing Luan had Dai Yue properly put away the paper and brushes while she started to figure out how much money she currently had.
She opened the secret compartment in her bed"s headboard and felt inside for the little wooden box. What was contained inside was all of the money that she currently possessed. Besides the one thousand taels that she received from Boss Li the first time she met him, as well as her forty percent cut of profits from sales. There was then the one thousand five hundred she received the second time around.
Even though she spent some money at Heavenly Dream Tower, in the end, she still won back two thousand taels. As for the contract she made with Mr. Yu, because it was too soon to produce results, she"s afraid that still required a period of time.
She prepared to make another trip to Heavenly Dream Tower to take another look. If Mr. Yu had everything prepared, then she would be able to make money at all times. One she thought about the shining white silvers which will flow into her pockets like running water, Luo Qing Luan smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.
"Let"s go, Dai Yue. We"ll go to Heavenly Dream Tower again."
Inside Heavenly Dream Tower, Luo Qing Luan did not immediately see Mr. Yu at all. Rather, she waited for over an hour before he leisurely showed himself.
"I"m really so sorry, Brother Luo, I had some matter to attend to and came late. Did you wait long?" During these few days, Nangong Yu had almost always left early and returned late, the time he spent at his home reduced by more than half.
But once he thought about Luo Qing Luan"s pointers, he then itched to see results as quickly as possible. Consequently, he had always been occupied with making preparations here. Just now, he went to inquire about the training of several young ladies who arrived recently. Once he heard that Luo Qing Luan came, he hurried over.
"It"s alright, today I came to ask you how the preparations are coming along." Luo Qing Luan said faintly.
"I was just about to tell you about this matter."
Nangong Yu called for Mama Du and had her quickly make some preparations. After a short period of time, three pretty young girls with completely different styles came. They quickly paid their respects to the two people.
Luo Qing Luan looked at these three people. The first one named Ruyan (Like Mist) was indeed like her name implied. She wore a full length bluish-green cotton dress along with a light layer of makeup. Long, shapely eyebrows, exquisite nose, her appearance seemed to reveal a faintly sorrowful nature. Even though she was somewhat inexperienced, Luo Qing Luan supposed that given a bit of time, and also after the process of repackaging, she would absolutely attain a big reputation.
The second named Hongyu (Rainbow Jade) was lively instead. Even though she had not taken the initiative to speak, she still did not flinch at all when Luo Qing Luan looked straight at her and even smiled back. She wore a red dress and applied a bit more makeup that Ruyan, appearing even more charming.
As for the third one, she actually could not see any distinguishing feature. Conforming to the norms of society, her appearance was delicate and pretty, that"s all. Luo Qing Luan looked at Nangong Yu and asked puzzled, "This young lady……"
Apparently somewhat proud of himself, Nangong Yu"s eyebrows lifted as he answered, "This s Miss Fengming (Cry of the Phoenix). She"s skilled with the bamboo flute. I searched for a long time before meeting her by accident. Would you like to listen to her flute?"
"Sure. Let"s hear it. Only this way will we be ensured of success when the time comes."
Since this was the first time that they tried her ideas, Luo Qing Luan could not be careless no matter what. She must ensure that the results exceeded the norm by far.
