The two siblings laughed and played for a while, no longer worrying about the annoying things in their hearts, nor thinking about the impending separation, trying to immerse themselves in the joy of being together.

  "Hua Jiu said that the place is now barely habitable, I told him to speed up again, after next year's Wulin Conference, you bring Dad and Mom there."

  Hua Ruyi leaned back and stretched her body to look at her, "Did you invest all the silver money you earned over the years in that?"

  Hua Ru Chun paused for a moment and smiled, "Brother, don't worry about me, I have silver coins for self-defense."

  When she said that, Hua Ru Yi knew he was right. He was very clear about how much money Lin Cang Ge had made over the years. Every year, the money he received was enough for him to spend lavishly until the next time he got his hands on some more. This was only one percent of the profit, and his parents each took one percent, as did Ru Meng, which added up to four percent. As for the remaining six percent, given Xiao Mei's personality, it was unlikely that she would keep all of it in her hands, and the money would likely be spent.

  So, Linlang Pavilion will become bigger and bigger.

  She also wants to develop Linglong Pavilion and go to that small island... Hua Ruyi doesn't believe she has any more spare money in her hands.

  But thinking of the dowry they had prepared, Hua Ruyi felt a bit more at ease. Even if her younger sister didn't have a single silver coin on her, with that dowry in hand, she wouldn't be poor.

  Little sister's wholehearted goodness to her family has always been known, but when he knows of her sacrifices for the family, he still can't help but be moved. The Huas having such a daughter and him having such a little sister is the blessing they accumulated from their past lives.

  "You should take care of yourself more from now on, don't just think about others."

  "Brother, do I look like someone who would shortchange myself? I'm not that nice to everyone, but you guys are my family, so of course I'll be good to you. Who else would I be good to?" Hua Ruchu deliberately made her words sound particularly cute and playful. She loved making money, but actually didn't have much concept of it; using money to make more money was a kind of entertainment for her. As long as she felt a sense of accomplishment from earning it, even if she lost some, she wouldn't take it too seriously. In the business world, there's no such thing as a general who always wins - this was the conclusion she'd drawn from two lifetimes of experience. Being able to stay calm and level-headed in both victory and defeat was the greatest victory of all.

  Hua Ru Yi didn't hold back on this matter anymore, and had Ya Huan bring out the Go board to set it up. He enjoyed playing Go with his little sister, her moves were bold and open, even if there were traps, they were all visible on the surface, making them easy to spot but hard to avoid. Her offense was fierce, and her defense was impenetrable, but when her attack was restricted, she could turn her defense into an attack. The chessboard reflected her personality - his little sister was a straightforward person, but not someone who could be easily deceived. This kind of temperament made him feel at ease, at least in places where there were no family members to protect her, she had the ability to take care of herself.

  The journey from Yangzhou to Jizhou is long and would have taken several months before the Grand Canal was opened, but now it only takes half a month.

  When the boat docked at Jizhou Wharf, the sky was just brightening.

  The four maidservants carefully helped Hua Ru dress in the heavy phoenix coronet and ceremonial cloak, then tidied themselves up, put on their new clothes with auspicious air, and arrived at Jizhou. Every word and deed of theirs represented the Hua family, represented Miss, and naturally couldn't let Miss lose face.

  "Chun Yu, open the window for some fresh air."

  Early summer, Yangzhou is the time when grass grows and swallows fly. Wearing beautiful spring clothes to go for a walk is something many young people would do. However, in Jizhou, it's still quite chilly at this time, so Hua Rujiu added an extra layer under her wedding dress compared to when she got married, and the windows were only occasionally opened halfway.

  Walking to the window and looking at the bustling dock outside, those people coming and going, is her husband among them? Hua Ruochu took a deep breath of the cold air and slowly exhaled. She, Hua Ruochu, was getting married, but it was to a stranger she had never met before. Hopefully, he wouldn't be too disappointing.

  Today, the largest dock in Jizhou was cleared by the Qi family. All the big families in Jizhou gave face to them and those who had needs went to other docks. There is not only the Qi family's face but also the emperor's face involved. Who in all of Jizhou doesn't know that this is a marriage bestowed by the Emperor?

  Jizhou Taiyuan, the root of the emperor is located here, and the Qi family is in the most concentrated place of this regime. This is also why the Qi family knows that once the crown prince falls, they will also be finished, but they have to make a choice. In Taiyuan, there is no middle force, either left or right, even if you want to be a wall grass, no one will give you such an opportunity.

  Not going to Yangzhou to welcome the bride in person was already an impoliteness on Qi You's part, and when he learned of the news a step earlier, Qi You led the welcoming crowd to the dock.

  Qī Zhèn stood on the high bow of the ship and stretched, his eyes scanning the last ship in the distance that seemed out of place here, a smile at the corner of his eye as he walked towards where his brother was.

  "Big brother, mission accomplished successfully, is there a reward?"

  Qī Jiā grew up by the old general's side since childhood, not to mention others, even with his parents he wasn't close. The younger siblings below him were all distant from him. If there was an exception, it would only be this one in front of him. No matter if he was silent or cold, he always came over with a warm face, completely disregarding other people's attitudes. Over time, the relationship between the two brothers turned out to be not bad.

  "What do you want?" He smoothed out the new, unwrinkled deep red brocade robe, and Qi You's expression was as calm as usual, just like he had no relation to the bride he came to pick up. He was only here to complete a task, go through the motions.

  But probably no one would have a good impression of such a forced marriage arrangement.

  "Remember, I'll talk when I think of it." Qi Zhen squeezed out the people beside his brother and leaned in to whisper a seemingly playful but actually warning phrase: "Be careful, don't slack off."

  Qī Yòu's heart skipped a beat, and with a thoughtful gaze, he looked at his younger brother for a moment, nodding almost imperceptibly.

  The people who were squeezed out by Bei Qi secretly gritted their teeth with hatred, but on the surface, they still looked obedient and pitiful, with a hint of grievance in their tone, "Big brother, second brother bullied me."

  Qī Yòu gave him a glance, and without saying yes or no, patted Qī Zhèn's head, and walked towards the ship that had just docked. Even a ship has to be built so luxuriously, only people from Yangzhou have such idle money, but I don't know if it's sturdy or can withstand big waves.

  Qǐ Zhèn smiled and chased after Qǐ Yòu, not taking that person seriously at all. It's no wonder he didn't want to stay at home; the people in the Qǐ family were all experts at changing their faces, and he himself admitted he couldn't learn it, so he only looked up to this big brother who bore the weight of the Qǐ family's honor and shame.

  If it weren't for his brother's wedding, he would still be carefree outside and wouldn't have come back. However, he has already decided where to go next. Yangzhou is indeed a great place, especially that woman... Ah, she's so charming that he can't take his eyes off her. Her skin is so tender, her eyes are so alluring, her figure is so seductive, and her tone is so soft...

  If it weren't for the fact that his sister-in-law was already married, he would have liked to become a live-in son-in-law. She was truly the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, but he didn't know how her younger sister compared to her.
