Chapter 339 Waiting for the Right Time
There were two ladies living in the inn opposite, in a room on the first floor.
Not far away, the beautiful woman Zhu Xiu, who was sitting by the window, turned behind her and waved.
"Second sister, come quickly, the beauty is here to welcome you!"
Zhu Yi put down what she was doing and hurried away.
"coming."
"Have you seen them both?"
Zhu Xiu scanned the crowd, carefully looking for a familiar figure, and his face gradually became troubled.
"There are too many people watching, so I haven't seen my brother-in-law and husband yet."
"Is the news from Big Brother reliable? Did they really come to Beijing without telling us just to watch the live broadcast?"
Zhu Yi walked to the window, sat opposite her third sister, and answered calmly.
"Absolutely reliable."
"When my elder brother was in Prince Chen's mansion, he was familiar with a spy. He hired this person and secretly learned that my husband and brother-in-law had made an appointment for a live broadcast, which would not be available until ten days later. Even so, they were still impatient. Every morning before dawn, they would go to the gate of Yiren Qingcheng, occupy a good position, and stand far away to watch the live broadcast."
Zhu Xiu curled her lips, full of displeasure.
"What kind of live broadcast is this? I've never heard of it. What's so great about it?"
At this time, the Tong Pan brothers went around the window, hid in a quiet corner, and began to eavesdrop on the conversation.
There was a hint of melancholy in Zhu Yi's brows.
"My elder brother said that Princess Yuexi originally intended to make beauty products to help guests maintain their skin. She arranged for a host to explain the beauty science so that it would be pleasing to the eyes and not too boring to listen to."
Zhu Xiu was puzzled.
"Since it's a beauty product, women should be more concerned about it, but when I look around at everyone, why do I only see men vying for it?"
Zhu Yi looked haggard, and was filled with sorrow and bitterness.
"Miss Ning's charming appearance and her gorgeous make-up immediately attracted the attention of men all over the world. In order to see her, they would rush to Shengjing without stopping; they would even spend a lot of money to win her smile."
Zhu Xiu was filled with anger and indignation.
"It's fine if you're a single man, but my brother-in-law and husband are both married, how can you do this?"
The withered leaves slowly fell before Zhu Yi's eyes, just like her mood, disappointed and helpless.
"Previously, Princess Yuexi had the idea to broadcast a live broadcast like a school to teach about beauty."
The resentment in her eyes was like a flame, growing more and more fierce.
"Those men with families, by listening to the lessons of beauty maintenance, will devote themselves to their wives at home. In this way, while gaining a good reputation, they can also appreciate beauties with peace of mind!"
"At this time, if a woman can no longer bear it and stops her husband from watching the live broadcast, she will be criticized by thousands of people for being treacherous and unvirtuous."
"I heard that a big thing happened yesterday. A woman went to Tinghetai to file a complaint, accusing her husband of using a good reputation to fall in love with another woman. She begged Tinghe Chengmu to personally review the case and make the decision for her."
"As a result, when Lord Mu asked him a simple question, the man recited everything that was said in the beauty salon that day. He was so fluent that he could recite it backwards. Before the court was even opened, the case was already concluded. The woman made a false accusation. According to the law, she shall be punished with 20 strokes of the cane!"
Zhu Xiu stared in amazement.
"No wonder my second sister told me that you and I can only observe secretly and must not do anything."
"It's unbelievable, they can actually memorize it?!"
Zhu Yi sneered, using clever sarcasm to show her disdain.
"It can be seen that Miss Ning's live broadcasting talent has indeed fascinated them."
Helpless, Zhu Xiu's eyes were filled with melancholy.
"Then what's the point of us rushing to Beijing?"
Zhu Yi frowned slightly, her face solemn and determined.
"My elder brother told us to wait for the right opportunity and take action immediately if the situation changes to bring them home."
Zhu Xiu's message was somewhat weak and he raised objections.
"With more and more tourists coming to Beijing, the money needed for inn accommodation is increasing day by day; the price of dishes in restaurants changes every day. Big brother said 'wait for the right time' lightly, but do you know how much money it costs to wait?"
Zhu Yi's eyes were sharp and gloomy facing the wind.
"But I can't just watch my husband and brother-in-law spend money on rewards and empty the treasury. They are all sons-in-law, and the silver they use is all our family's savings!"
"It's not easy for my elder brother to support the family alone, how can we let them squander money as they please?"
Zhu Xiu withdrew his gaze, looking frustrated and bored, and caught an ant to play with it.
"The silver for sealing the mouth was originally awarded by Princess Yuexi. Perhaps she was reluctant to give it up, so she made up such a pretext to guide us to return it on her own initiative."
Zhu Yi's serious expression faded, a hint of doting appeared, and she gently touched her third sister's forehead.
"In addition to the silver, there are also the monthly allowances and rewards that my elder brother has earned over the years. Do you think serving His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen is an easy job?"
Zhu Xiu picked up some heart-breaking crumbs and fed them to the ants, sensing a bit of interest and smiling.
"Well, let's wait and see what happens."
Zhu Yi gave careful instructions and was especially gentle.
"Brother is unable to come to Beijing, so we must be careful not to cause him any trouble."
Zhu Xiu nodded obediently.
"Yes, little sister knows."
After getting the news, Tong Pan gave his second brother a wink.
Tong Zhe understood, and left cautiously with his brother and returned to Bingqing Garden.
Waiting for his brother to take his seat, Tong Zhe sat on one side, relaxed his face and smiled.
"It turns out that Princess Yuexi had already planned to use a false name to give the distinguished guests a high-sounding reason to go and watch the live broadcast."
"No wonder the world is talking about how talented Princess Yuexi is, and she can be called the best counselor in the world!"
Tong Pan's lips slightly raised, with a hint of awe.
"There is another thing that the two women did not mention."
Tong Zhe was humble and lowered his head.
"Brother, please give me some advice."
Tong Pan's brow was stern, as if he was thinking deeply. He took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.
"Ms. Ning Si is the daughter of an aristocratic family. She is still young and has not yet married. She broadcasts live every day and has no time to meet other people. It is very likely that her future husband will be chosen from the audience of the live broadcast."
"Among them, those with ministerial status may want to win over the Ning family, or may care about being well-matched; those with civilian status may want to marry into the Ning family, and after all the hardships, they will finally emerge as a butterfly."
"Therefore, the beautiful lady has many distinguished guests in the city."
Tong Zhe narrowed his eyes and smiled brightly.
"Brother's analysis makes a lot of sense."
Tong Pan understood the truth and soon came up with an idea.
"If we can find some noble women to broadcast live here..."
Before he could finish, Tong Zhe was so frightened that he interrupted him quickly.
"Brother, be careful with your words!"
Tong Pan stopped cooperating and said no more.
Tong Zhe looked around and confirmed that there was no one around. He was still nervous and lowered his voice to remind others.
"We are in the brothel business, how dare we mess with the nobles?"
Tong Pan remained calm and explained his meaning.
"I mean, claiming to have found someone, not actually hiring them."
"When Emperor Jin announced the live broadcast, he mentioned that the live broadcast effect is uncertain, so please carefully identify it."
"Isn't what Your Majesty said just a reminder?"
