Chapter 178 Lin Fu has six daughters, each with her own beauty, but he refuses to marry any of them.
It is said that Qu Youjiu once went to Mount Lu to visit the daughters of two important figures, one of whom, Li Tengkong, was one of Li Linfu's daughters.
A popular saying goes: "Li Linfu had six daughters, each with their own beauty, and all the men who sought his hand in marriage refused."
It goes without saying that Li Linfu had more than six daughters.
He has more than 25 daughters and more than 25 sons, and Li Tengkong is one of them.
This Ms. Li Tengkong's original name has been lost to time and is no longer known.
Since she decided to become a Taoist nun, she gave herself the Taoist name "Tengkongzi" because she could ride the clouds at any time and go straight to the Heavenly Palace to transform into a fairy sister.
Although Li Tengkong comes from a wealthy family, she disdains those frivolous and vain things.
She and Cai Xunzhen, the daughter of Cai, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites (note that this is not her real name, but her Taoist name), went to Mount Lu to cultivate immortality and ascend to Taoism.
Cai Xunzhen cultivated at the foot of Misty Peak to the south of the Screen Stack, while Li Tengkong cultivated at the foot of Lingyun Peak to the north of the Screen Stack.
They studied the Three Caverns of Magic, using elixirs and talismans to help people relieve their illnesses. They became the "Healing Sisters" in a parallel universe of the Tang Dynasty, except that their magic wands were replaced with medicine jars and talismans, and their incantation was "Health and Happiness"!
Like Qu Youjiu, he was granted gold and released the following year. He married a woman who also bore the surname Zong. The Zong family was the granddaughter of Zong Chuke, the prime minister during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian. The two shared common aspirations and interests, namely seeking immortality and visiting Taoist masters. Therefore, their honeymoon trip was purposeful...
Zian has really gotten some juicy gossip today! What kind of scheme is Xiaosi's group setting up?!
After the three young men restrained themselves for a moment, Xiao Si subtly winked at them.
This gesture silently told the young men present that they already understood the current situation and should have a clear judgment and plan in mind.
Seeing Xiao Si's reaction, the three understood what to do next.
Needless to say, Wei Jian, who sits in the main seat, started his career at a very young age. How could he not be young and promising? Just look at all these imperial relatives at this table.
“Lord Wei was known for his competence when he first started out,” Xiao Si quickly interjected.
Lord Wei, on the other hand, appeared very humble and composed.
Qu Youjiu then reiterated the "relying on family connections" label to Wei Jian's forehead, thinking to himself:
"Damn it! I'm so talented, yet I can never find the right path, I can't get into the upper class, I have to suck up to princesses, and I have to be a live-in son-in-law... If I had this family, wouldn't I be known for my competence?!"
"Wherever Lord Wei Jian goes, tax revenue inevitably increases. This is a fact universally acknowledged," Xiao Si continued, expressing his admiration.
"However, does Lord Wei know that the one who obtained the treasure song is also present?"
"Oh? Lord Cui?" Lord Wei looked puzzled, as Lord Cui from Shanxian County was not present.
Qu Youjiu gave Xiao Si a look, and Xiao Si nodded firmly. Qu Youjiu had no choice but to stand up and clasp his hands in greeting.
Lord Wei expressed his appreciation and thanked the real Master Yi Zi for solving his urgent problem.
However, when it comes to Xiao Si's opinion of Li Linfu, or his daughter's opinion, there is indeed some jealousy.
These daughters were born into wealthy families and had autonomy even in the Tang Dynasty, enjoying better treatment than the emperor's daughters in the time she transmigrated to.
Xiao Si had long heard that there was a beautifully decorated little window inlaid on the wall of Lin Fu's hall, adorned with precious gems and covered with deep red silk.
She whispered to Qu Youjiu:
"Brother Qu, do you know that Lord Lin Fu, who is currently eating my hamburger, usually has his six most beloved daughters sitting behind the window? Whenever a distinguished young gentleman comes to visit, Lin Fu lets his daughters choose their preferred partner from inside the window?"
Qu Youjiu noticed that Xiao Si's emotions were fluctuating, and stepped forward to speak up and ease the tension for his friend's sake:
"Don't worry about it. Fame and fortune on this earth are inherently corrupt at their core. Watch how I rub them..."
Xiao Si watched curiously as Qu Youjiu stood up and clasped his hands in greeting.
"I've heard that Lord Lin's six daughters are all very beautiful, and all wealthy families desire them. However, Lord Li is an enlightened man. He doesn't make decisions for his daughters, but instead opens a window in the meeting place, hangs a gauze curtain, and lets his daughters peek at the noblemen coming and going. Only when they see someone they like do they give them a chance. The choice is entirely given to his daughters."
Li Linfu smiled happily.
Little Si understood. No wonder.
It is said that the important figure Li Linfu had a great fondness for Li Bai!
Indeed, ever since that gathering, Li Linfu has made sure to invite Qu Youjiu to every party, and he has generously provided fine wine and food.
At Li Linfu's gathering, Qu Youjiu no longer worried about losing all his family's wealth and could eat and drink to his heart's content, with all expenses covered by Li Linfu.
At these gatherings, Qu Youjiu not only enjoyed the food and drinks, but also made a bunch of powerful and influential friends, and his network and popularity skyrocketed!
