Chapter 191 State Banquet Competition
Snakes are good at wrapping around hard objects. If you hit the snake's vital parts with a stick, the snake will turn around and move up with the stick, opening its mouth and showing its fangs, and rushing straight towards the person hitting the snake.

Prince Qing is such a person. His connection with the Song family originated from paying for the barbecue that night. The second time they met was at the birthday banquet of Old Lady Yang. In front of Old Master Song, he praised the younger generations of the Song family.

At the same time, the male members of the Song family were invited to join the army, either to serve under Uncle Yang or directly under his command as soldiers.

Prince Qing has always been serious, and he has a great deal of dignity after having been in power for many years. Compared with the easy-going emperor, he is more like the ruler of a country.

The Song family was so overwhelmed by the praise from such a big shot that Mr. Song was so happy that he didn't know what to do. But what was shocking was that he refused in the end.

The old man bluntly said that his descendants were not ambitious enough and did not deserve such honor, which also ruined Uncle Yang's original plan.

Uncle Yang really wanted the male members of the Song family to stay with him so that it would be convenient for him to guide them. If he gave them some small privileges occasionally, they would grow up quickly.

But after Prince Qing said this, he didn't dare to cheat, nor could he openly compete with his boss for the person, which immediately made Uncle Yang worried.

In the end, through the relationship between Song's father and Song Qingwan, Uncle Yang was sent to guard the city gate, while the eldest and second brothers entered the Imperial City Division with their superb martial arts.

My fourth uncle, my younger brother-in-law, and Ye Xiaoxing from my grandmother's side were all preparing to start their own business again or take care of the household affairs.

The Song family did not rely on the Yang family or Prince Qing. Even so, he showed up on the day of the Song family's wedding banquet and brought a very expensive gift.

The Song family has elders and staff from several branches, so Song Qingwan was not very busy on the day of the banquet. She only received her business friends and specially invited some foreign trade goods merchants who were interested in cooperation.

With this move, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was going to make a big move.

When Song Qingwan met Prince Qing, he was touring the Song family's garden, and it was the only way to the inner courtyard.

Song Qingwan thought that he might be waiting for her, "Good luck to your Highness." Prince Qing was still with only his entourage, so since they met, they had to exchange pleasantries.

"Hehe, the little girl seems to be very busy?"

You're asking the question even though you already know the answer. "It's okay. Common people still have to work hard for three meals a day and a few pieces of silver." So don't come and disturb my life.

"Why bother, Xiao Song? Your military talent is better than your brother's. It would be a blessing for the Yuan Dynasty if you could join the army. Wouldn't it be nice to be a female general like Old Lady Yang, who is so majestic and impressive?

If you can come under my command, I will allow you to start as a centurion. With the assistance of the Seven Saints, I believe you will soon be promoted to general.

Besides, if you don't consider yourself, you have to consider the Seven Saints. Wouldn't it be a waste to use the talents of the Seven Saints in business? It's really a pity.

Or do you want to rely on a man like a weak woman? Trapped in the backyard?" Prince Qing frowned, seeming to disapprove of Song Qingwan's choice.

Song Qingwan's eyes were subtle. The old man was trying to steal Li Minghe's girl, and people were watching him.

She wiped her nose with her sleeve and said with a simple smile, "What's the point of fighting and killing? I'm tired of being poor and I'm a bit vulgar. I just want to sleep on a pile of money."

The corner of Prince Qing's mouth twitched. He never expected this result. "You, I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the royal family like this." He glanced in Li Minghe's direction meaningfully.

"I won't go to the royal gate." She only goes into the door of wealth, and from then on she is Song Qingwan who only recognizes money and not people.

Prince Qing had a strange look on his face. “Generally, capable people are not bound by form or mind. With Miss Song’s ability, it’s okay for her to pick a few more men. How about considering my son?” The old man really invested a lot of money, but he didn’t know which son this was. If it was that prince, Song Qingwan would absolutely refuse.

She shook her head vigorously. "No, no, no. My parents said that I have a bad temper and I am only suitable to find a live-in husband. Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness." She declined the offer.

King Qing seemed to be just testing the waters with this remark, and he did not insist, "Well, it seems that Miss Song really loves money, but she has to get it in a proper way, otherwise it is easy to capsize.

Even though I don't know much about business, I have heard that Miss Song and the eldest princess are competing fiercely for business. The princess's business is mostly run for court expenses, and has contributed countless disaster relief funds to the Yuan Dynasty over the years.

So why is Miss Song like this?" His previously careless attitude suddenly became serious, and he even secretly released the pressure.

This was undoubtedly a warning to Song Qingwan.

But Song Qingwan could straighten her back even more. “We ordinary people have a hard time making a living. I just want to make some money to support my family and not cause trouble for the court. I have also paid the business tax.

I have not violated the law, nor do I intend to compete with the princess for profit. Everything that has happened is just basic operations, and cannot be compared with the princess's righteousness. Your Majesty, you are embarrassing me."

Prince Qing did not expect Song Qingwan to be so rigorous. Neither inducement nor intimidation had any effect on her. She was indeed a character. It was a pity that she could not be used by him.

"Well, since Miss Song has a plan in mind, I hope your persistence can allow you to go to the end." The old man finally walked away with his hands behind his back, well, the kind that walked directly out of the Song family.

It was not until King Qing could no longer see the figure that Jiang Ling beside him said, "Miss, I think this old man has a serious illness and may not live long. The stench of decay is coming out of his body."
Generally, an old man with this kind of corpse odor will not live more than three months. "People who play with drugs are always sensitive to smells, and Jiang Ling is very sure of his conclusion.

Song Qingwan was shocked. No wonder the old man used strong fragrance on his body. She thought he was going to have sex with the eldest princess, but it turned out that he wanted to cover up the corpse odor on his body?

Oh my goodness, Xie Qingcheng said that the emperor had good luck, and Song Qingwan finally believed it, because he would soon outlast this uncle, a strong competitor.

Prince Qing was scheming outside while the Emperor was enjoying his retirement in the palace. I'm afraid Prince Qing was so angry that he died in the end.

But this news is not good for Song Qingwan. When a person is about to die, he will definitely become more crazy to achieve his goals. It feels like something big is going to happen.

"Hold a meeting in the evening." Make sure everyone is careful.

Song Qingwan subconsciously looked towards where Li Minghe was, but the man was no longer there.

Damn it, when will I be able to change this habit of nosy things?
After finishing her work, Song Qingwan returned to her yard and suddenly felt that there was someone in her room.

And the one who could enter her room, could it be?

Sure enough, when she pushed the door open, she saw a familiar figure. Who else could this person be but Li Minghe?
What's going on? Xiao Huatian is not stopping people anymore? Or did someone give him a pass?
"Why are you here?" Song Qingwan didn't even close the door. She walked straight to the table, sat down, and poured herself a glass of water.

Li Minghe followed behind her and whispered, "Have you calmed down? I was wrong. Come and see when you can forgive me."

"What have you done wrong? You just don't trust me, and I don't have the ability to gain your trust. Didn't we agree that you should let me practice more? Maybe one day in the future, I will be someone worthy of your trust~"

Change tomorrow

Finished~
