Chapter 537 From now on, your name is Du Qingruo
That is, these concubines and maids have one thing in common.
Their waists are very slender, even thinner than those of women with normal waists, and their feet are also small and white. At this moment, they are dancing barefoot on the carpet, and the bells on their ankles make tiny sounds, making them look very fragile.
Seeing this situation, Qiao Lianer thought of Du Qinglan.
Of course, if this is a special aesthetic preference of a certain type of people, Du Qinglan's conditions are even better than those of these concubines and maids.
It was this connection that set off alarm bells in Qiao Jianer's heart.
Her intuition was correct, or at least she was 60 to 70 percent sure it was correct.
That kindhearted man, wouldn't he be referring to the eldest prince?
"Your Highness, I'm hungry. Please let me have something sweet." A concubine snuggled up to the eldest prince and acted coquettishly.
When the eldest prince heard this, he picked up the ruler from the couch and carefully measured the concubine's waist.
He said disdainfully, "Still eating it, it's a millimeter thicker."
Qiao Jianer left with a twitching mouth.
She used the space teleportation method, so she went to two places and not much time passed.
The first thing Qiao Jianer did was to go find Butler Chai.
Butler Chai has already found Mr. Ze Ri and is leading people towards the Qiao family.
Qiao Jianer appeared unexpectedly nearby, which startled Butler Chai.
"My Lord, when did you come?"
Qiao Jianer said, "Butler Chai, please go back first. I have something to tell the master."
After Butler Chai left, Qiao Jianer took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and put it in Mr. Zhe Ri's hand.
"Princess, what does this mean?" Mr. Ze Ri didn't understand.
"No matter what, the date of the wedding must be postponed to a month from now. The further away, the better."
Qiao Jianer was confident that he could investigate the matter thoroughly within a month.
Mr. Ze Ri put the silver into his sleeve and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely get things done."
After entering the Qiao family, the fortune teller compared the two people's birth dates and looked through the almanac, and finally made his decision.
"The best day is the Spring Equinox in two months. When everything comes back to life and the flowers bloom, it will be the perfect time for a wedding."
"It takes two months." Da Meng reacted a little too much when he heard it. He wished he could marry Du Qinglan in ten days or so.
"Alas, there are two or three good days recently, but there are always some flaws, it's not so perfect. If the captain is anxious, I will look for a closer one." Mr. Ze Ri said reluctantly.
Du Qinglan was about to speak when Da Meng immediately said, "That won't work. It has to be the best day. It doesn't matter if it's later. It will allow us to be more prepared."
Mrs. Lu also sighed: "Everyone in the family hopes that you can get married soon, but the good days are still to come, so just wait. Qinglan, now that your relationship is settled, you can come every day. Don't be embarrassed. It's so lonely at home alone."
"As long as you don't mind me bothering you." Du Qinglan said.
"How could we dislike you? Just don't say this word from now on. You have to become a member of this family. Everyone is eager for you to come and get together more often." said Qiao Lao San.
In order to welcome Du Qinglan's arrival today, all the men in the Qiao family took leave.
Everyone was relieved to see Du Qinglan being so polite and that Da Meng's major life event had been settled.
"I think Sister Qinglan seems to be literate." Pei Qingrong said.
She had a feeling that Du Qinglan was the kind of person who had been cultivated.
Du Qinglan nodded. "When I was little, my parents were still alive and we had some money, so we hired a teacher to teach me how to read and write. Later, when they passed away, I persisted in studying diligently on my own and now recognize all the commonly used characters."
Everyone was very happy about this unexpected surprise. The Qiao family didn't care that Du Qinglan had no background or parents, but they hoped that she would be a cultured person.
Qiao Jianer was eating quietly on the side. She didn't say much today.
But she did not miss any of Du Qinglan's reactions.
Just now, they said that the wedding would take two months, and Du Qinglan seemed a little anxious.
If Da Meng hadn't insisted on choosing the best day, she would have said that she didn't care about the date.
Now we know that the eldest prince has a thin waist and small feet. Starting from this point, we may gain more.
The next day, Qiao Jianer stepped into Xinyue Tower.
This is one of the three largest dens of money-losing in the capital. In front of the gate and at the railings of the upper floors, there are many girls standing. They are dressed coolly in the winter and are waving their handkerchiefs to the passers-by, chatting and chatting.
Seeing that the person who came in was a girl, still a little girl, with a heroic look between her delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a generous and bright demeanor, the boss who greeted the guests was stunned for a moment: "Girl, you have come to the wrong place."
Qiao Jianer took out a token from his sleeve and showed it in front of her.
Seeing the engraved words of Princess Feiluan and the former general of Qingfeng's fiefdom, the proprietress was shocked and quickly bowed deeply.
"Princess, why are you here?"
"Something happened." Qiao Lianer said.
The boss immediately invited her to the flower hall in the back, had someone serve her some good tea, and asked cautiously, "Does the princess have any instructions?"
Qiao Jianer took out several silver notes worth one thousand taels from his sleeve, totaling five thousand taels, and placed them on the table.
After seeing such a large quantity, the boss's eyes widened and he covered his mouth with a handkerchief.
"Aiya, if the princess has anything to say, just tell her what you want. Why be so polite?"
"Find the girl with the thinnest waist and smallest feet here." Qiao Lianer said.
The boss was even more puzzled: "There is such a girl, her waist is so thin that it can be held in one hand, and her feet are only half the length of a palm, but her appearance is only pretty, not outstanding."
"That doesn't matter." Qiao Jian'er knew that since the eldest prince had such a hobby, he would keep the person even if she was not very good-looking.
Seeing that she was determined, the boss ordered the manager to bring the girl over, and soon, the person came in front of Qiao Jianer.
She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and her figure was even more slender than Du Qinglan's. Her waist was as thin as a water snake. When she walked towards him gracefully, Qiao Jianer was a little worried that her waist would break.
"I want to talk to this girl alone." Qiao Jianer raised his hand and asked the boss to go down.
"Well, my lady, please make yourself at your leisure. The steward is just outside the door. Just shout if you have any instructions."
When the boss left, he glanced at the girl, hinting that she should be obedient.
After everyone left and the door was closed again, Qiao Jianer spoke slowly.
"I want you to do something. If you do it well, I will give you 10,000 taels of silver and redeem you, allowing you to leave here forever."
The girl had her head down, but when she heard this she raised her eyelids in disbelief, her pupils dilated as if an earthquake had occurred.
"I mean what I say. Just tell me whether you're willing or not."
The girl's eyes turned red, and she immediately knelt down: "I don't ask for money, but as long as I can redeem myself, I am willing to go through fire and water for you, the princess."
"Okay, while you're working for me, your name will be Du Qingruo."
"You have a sister named Du Qinglan."
