Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 224: The Merchant's Daughter Wants to Marry the General 21

Shen Guli's thin eyebrows wrinkled into a jumping arc, "I'm afraid this is not suitable. The taste of the sauce will be strong after it is soaked, and it will expose the whereabouts of the soldiers."

Shen Guli tilted her head and looked at Li Xuanzhi. She had never been to the battlefield and did not know the responsibilities of each branch of the army. She only put forward her opinions based on her own understanding.

Lee Hyun-ji: -----

The girl tilted her head and looked up, her pair of bright almond-shaped eyes looking over at him, her dark pupils reflecting the outline of his crescent-white brocade robe.

Lee Hyun-ji's eyes moved slowly. Her eyebrows were as delicate as a painting, her lips were as red as cherry blossoms, her skin was as white as snow, and her long hair tilted behind her because of her movements, with the ends of her hair playfully showing at her slender waist.

"Your Majesty?"

Li Xuanzhi quickly came back to his senses, his Adam's apple rolled, "You're right, but there is a solution. When the time comes, just don't let them use the sauce, just put some salt!"

Shen Guli: -----

Then what is the soul of instant noodles?

But when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

"Your Highness, if you are in a hurry, we have our own workshop in Beijing, so it may take some time to supply the goods."

"Do it as soon as possible. If there is any trouble that cannot be solved, you can ask someone to come to the palace to find me!" Li Xuanzhi said as he took off his dragon-patterned jade pendant from his waist and placed it on the table.

Shen Guli's eyes fell on the fine ring-shaped jade pendant. This was the correct way to use the backer!

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Shen Guli accepted the jade pendant as a token of love without hesitation.

Shen Guli did not boil tea again, but used the boiled water to make a cup of scented tea for Li Xuanzhi.

"This is a tea made from honeysuckle and chrysanthemum. It is suitable for people who work at their desks for long periods of time. It helps to clear away heat and detoxify, relieve summer heat and relieve restlessness, clear the liver and improve eyesight, and protect the eyes."

Clears the liver and improves eyesight. Could it be that Shen is scolding him?

Seeing Lee Hyun-ji looking at the jasmine in her cup, she explained: "Your Majesty is already handsome and majestic enough, he doesn't need the blessing of jasmine for beauty and nourishment!"

Lee Hyun-ji: ----

What did he say? It seems like he didn't say anything.

He was just curious as to whether any flowers could be used to make tea.

Lee Hyun-ji took a sip of the honeysuckle tea that clears the liver and improves eyesight. It was slightly bitter, with a hint of chrysanthemum's herbal flavor, and tasted okay.

"This is something I prepared specially for my younger brother who is studying at home. It works well. If Your Majesty likes it, I will have someone prepare a copy for Your Majesty to take back!"

It turns out that it is really beneficial for clearing the liver and improving eyesight.

"Is your brother studying?"

"He can just read and write roughly, and can understand account books and contracts." He knew his own younger brother well, and he did not have the talent of a top scholar, and he would only be a businessman in his life.

Therefore, there is no need for the prince to promote her younger brother.

"It seems that Boss Shen has a very good relationship with his younger brother!"

Shen Guli didn't believe that Li Xuanzhi hadn't investigated her family background. She smiled lightly, "To be honest with you, my brother and I are not valued by our father. Now he and my mother are in charge of processing the noodles needed by several stores on the farm."

"Oh? Boss Shen knows the way of doing business very well. How could he not be valued by Mr. Shen?"

Shen Guli's face was calm as she gave a brief account of the family affairs, as calmly as if she was reporting on someone else's family affairs.

After she finished speaking, she stopped writing, blew on the wet ink on the rice paper, and handed it to Li Xuanzhi, "This is the contract I drafted, please take a look, Your Majesty."

Only then did Li Xuanzhi realize that she had already written a purchase contract for instant noodles while talking.

"Guxiang Noodle House? Does a business like this need to be stamped by Shen Ji?"

Shen Guli waved her hand and said, "No need. I have never used the Shen family's resources since I came to the capital. These are all my own businesses. They are the dowry businesses that my mother gave me in advance."

An unmarried girl could talk about dowry in front of a man she was not even familiar with, which made Li Xuanzhi a little overwhelmed.

"Miss Shen, do you want to leave the Shen Mansion and do it on your own?"

This was the first time that Lee Hyun-ji called Shen Guli "Miss Shen". She didn't know why Lee Hyun-ji suddenly changed his attitude, but this was a good thing for her.

"Yes, I support my mother and father's divorce. I cannot change my surname, but I will definitely leave the Shen family with my mother." Even if her adoptive father is unwilling to let his child leave home, she can still choose to get married.

Anyway, she has already reached the age of 15.

Li Xuanzhi coughed. How could there be such a bold woman who could openly say that she supported her parents' divorce?

"Will your parents get divorced?"

Shen Guli said firmly, "Yes."

According to the developments in her previous life, within a year, her adoptive father would want to divorce his wife and make way for his concubine.

She just prepared early.

Li Xuanzhi didn't know what to say for a moment. The Seventh Prince, who was well-read in the books of sages, didn't know how to educate this bold and rebellious little boss in front of him.

"Have you ever thought that your father might have some hidden reason for doing this?"

"What's the secret?" Shen Guli said disdainfully. Isn't it just that when a man reaches middle age, he always wants to find a young and fresh woman to counteract his growing greasiness?

Did Aunt Xuan force him to have children? She gave birth to one child after another, almost catching up with the number of children her own mother gave birth to!

Li Xuanzhi pondered and said, "Maybe the favored concubine was given to him by some big shot whom he couldn't afford to offend, so he had to -"

"What do you mean?" Shen Guli suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Xuanzhi, "What big shot?"

The reason why Gu Li was so frank with Lee Hyun-ji about the Shen family's affairs was because with Lee Hyun-ji's status as a prince, he would definitely know what he wanted to know.

Perhaps the prince had already checked her entire ancestry thoroughly, and now he just wanted to verify her sincerity.

But she didn't expect that the prince would care so much about her family affairs, and suddenly said something that seemed to be true but was not.

A prince like you wouldn't do something without a purpose.

Gu Li was silent.

Her parents had been in love for decades, and they had never quarreled even after other concubines came into the family. It was only after Concubine Xuan came into the family that they started to quarrel constantly, and their former affection gradually faded.

The Shen family is the richest in Yonghe Prefecture. Although gold and silver are not omnipotent, they can solve most problems. So who is the big shot who can really make the cheap father afraid and take good care of the concubine sent by the other party, and even break up with his wife?

"How big of a figure? Like General Xie?"

Li Xuanzhi looked at her steadily.

Gu Li's heart was in a knot. "A big shot as important as the prince?"

Shen Guli opened her almond-shaped eyes wide and emphasized the words heavily on purpose. Li Xuanzhi felt his cochlea getting a little hot.

He nodded vaguely, and then said something inexplicably: "I should be slightly better." He is bigger!

A big shot like the Seventh Prince must be either a prince or a royal prince, and it can't be the current emperor.

Shen Guli swallowed, thoughts surging in her mind.
