Clan Prosperity Starting With My Servant Girls-Chapter 252: Are You Married?

"Have we met before, young master?"

"You are such a young and capable master, unlike my husband. If you are interested, my sister is young and talented."

"Don’t listen to her, her sister only loves to gossip. I’m sure a young master like you would be more interested in wine and poetry, which I’m also interested in."

"My father runs a business all over Da Qian, he would definitely be interested to meet with you and help take your business to the next level."

"Please I’m trying to have a conversation with the young master."

The young mistresses tried to be shy and demure when they approached him.

Those who were married tried to introduce their sisters to him.

And for those who were still single and available, they hid their faces behind their silk fans, pretending to be shy when they tried to talk to him.

Lin Xuan Qi shook his head and gave them an awkward smile.

But they didn’t get his signal that he wasn’t interested.

More and more of the young mistresses gathered around.

Finally, he decided to make them retreat once and for all.

"I’m sorry but I’ve got to get back to make sure that preparations for my wedding go smoothly."

He said and the young mistresses went silent.

They didn’t expect him to be married but it made sense when they glanced at his handsome face that was looking healthy and full of hope for the future.

All of them sighed to themselves silently inside.

However, one of them lowered her head and whispered, "I wouldn’t mind being your concubine..."

The other young mistresses beside her were shocked initially but they came around to it quickly.

So what if they weren’t his wife, it was a matter of who was more fertile to bear him sons to continue the family name.

"I would be willing too..."

One by one they began to chorus the same thought.

Luckily Lin Xuan Qi already had an answer for that.

"The wedding is with my wife and concubine, I don’t think I would have the time and energy for more." He said and quickly went into the retail store with Lu Ting.

The young mistresses could only shake their heads and sigh at his figure that was getting further away from them.

Blasphemy! Why are all the good men taken!

They looked up into the sky and grumbled at the Tian Dao for their unfortunate circumstances.

Inside the retail store, Lin Xuan Qi went through the records and earnings.

He took half of the silver and put it into the horse carriage in wooden chests.

The priority for him was to deliver the silver to the Sima Family for Sima Long to have peace of mind.

That was the best he could do for his buddy for now.

He didn’t waste any time and let half of the guards be on alert in the retail store while he delivered half of the earnings to the Sima Family mansion.

...

Sima Family mansion.

It didn’t take him too long to arrive at the Sima Family mansion and the guards went in to inform Sima Long without any trouble.

"Brother Lin... you shouldn’t have to be in such a rush." Sima Long was surprised to see him again so soon when he came to the gates of the Sima Mansion.

"I think it is better for me to get it done as soon as possible." Lin Xuan Qi didn’t say much more than that but Sima Long appreciated it.

With the profit that he got from the soap business, it should help him persuade the family head that he was doing well enough for the family.

And with it, Zhang Jie could be treated with the best that the Sima Family had access to.

"Bring out the wooden chests." Lin Xuan Qi turned around to the back, glanced at the guards and said.

They nodded their heads and began to bring down the wooden chests that were inside the horse carriage.

"Come with me." Sima Long said and led them through the gates and into the mansion.

Lin Xuan Qi followed and walked beside Sima Long.

Inside the mansion, it looked just as busy and prosperous as he remembered it to be.

Sima Long led him and his guards to a building where it was guarded by men in full armor.

An elderly man with a long and gray mustache and beard came out from the building.

"Long, why are you here again?

"I remember you had just gotten your allowance earlier in the month.

"I hope you didn’t spend it all in the brothels and on wine."

Sima Long slapped the back of his head and gave the elderly man a bow.

"Granduncle Xiong, I haven’t been to the brothels since my wife got pregnant..." He tried to explain but Granduncle Xiong only shook his head at him.

"As the saying goes, a leopard never changes its spots...

"If you aren’t here to request more allowance, why are you here?"

Granduncle Xiong said and stared coldly at Sima Long.

Lin Xuan Qi stepped forward and said, "Elder Xiong, I think you are mistaken."

Granduncle Xiong narrowed his eyes and turned his focus to Lin Xuan Qi.

He sensed no Spirit Qi from Lin Xuan Qi and he thought that Lin Xuan Qi must have been one of those young masters who frequented the brothels like Sima Long.

"Who are you? I would keep quiet and stand to the side if I were you." He said and stared intensely at Lin Xuan Qi.

To his surprise, Lin Xuan Qi was composed and didn’t flinch.

He shook his head at Granduncle Xiong and said, "My buddy Sima Long is here not to request more allowance."

The guards that were holding the wooden chests put them down and opened all of them.

"Here is the profit for the day in his venture with me..." Lin Xuan Qi said and Granduncle glanced at all the taels of silver inside the wooden chests and stroked his beard.

Finally, after a few moments of silence, Granduncle Xiong glanced over at Sima Long and nodded his head at Sima Long.

"I guess I was wrong, some leopards do change their spots."
