"I know too, isn't this a big matter?" Aunt Chen said worriedly, "If it were the other girls of the Yao family, I would definitely not have any objections, and they would still be beating gongs and drums, as if they were so happy.
But... which family will grant a marriage to an old lady? You will know it is famous when you hear it."
"There is indeed something going on here, but it's not convenient for me to tell you. As long as you know, everything I do is for the good of the Yao family. Da Lang and Er Lang came out of my belly. I
It is impossible for a mother to harm her own child."
"I believe this. Just like me, no matter how much I disliked Saburo or favored Liulang, I would never do anything to hurt Saburo. After all, Saburo is also my son and came out of my belly.
No? In this world, how can a mother not love her children? Unless the child is not her biological child."
"In that case, what else do you have to worry about?" Gu Qingling smiled, "The third bedroom has been divided again. Even if something happens, it will only happen to Da Lang and Er Lang. San Lang is relatively safe. If Da Lang
, What benefits did Erlang get? Sanlang is their biological brother. When eating meat, he will naturally not forget to let his biological brother drink some broth. And I also left my family property to the third family. As long as you manage it well.
, even if something happens to us, you will be able to live a prosperous life."
"This is... the old lady," Aunt Chen sighed, "I now understand why you said before that you would leave a way out for the Yao family. Now, isn't it just a way out? Isn't it a blessing or a curse, until the end?
, no one knows.”
"It's a blessing in disguise. No one knows until the end."
…
"What?! His Majesty decreed that Mrs. Yao should remarry?! Or marry Prince Chong?!" An old lady stared wide-eyed and couldn't believe it, "How is this possible?! How old is Mrs. Yao?
How could Prince Chong be so young, how could he point out an old woman to Prince Chong? Isn’t Prince Chong the most famous person in front of His Majesty? Could it be that... something happened?!"
"I don't know. I just heard about it. It was spread on the street that a father-in-law came to Yao's house to announce an edict." The young daughter-in-law patted her chest, "My heart is still beating fast even now. I thought
I heard wrongly."
"Hurry up and have someone check it out."
"I've already sent someone there. Whether it's true or not, there will be news soon."
After a while, the servant who was in charge of inquiring came back and said that a father-in-law had indeed come to the Yao family to declare an edict, and that there was indeed such an edict.
But he doesn't know anything else.
"How could it be?! How could His Majesty issue such an imperial edict? Could it be that His Majesty also heard the rumors?"
"Could it be that His Majesty was angry and issued this edict to punish Prince Chong?"
"This... is not necessarily true. What if His Majesty hears this imperial edict and wants to cover it up for Prince Chong? So... after an imperial edict is issued, who would dare to gossip about Prince Chong?"
"Well... this is also possible. But... Your Majesty wants to issue such an imperial edict, but will he take the blame for Prince Chong? Your Majesty is too doting on Prince Chong, isn't it? Isn't it clear that Prince Chong...
…Any special preferences?”
"What's wrong with having special preferences? How many of the historical royal family don't have any little hobbies? It's not like bullying men and women or corrupting the imperial court. He's just a prince. What's wrong with having some little hobbies? I guess His Majesty is happy."
"ah?"
"You are stupid. Which emperor wants his younger brother to be perfect?"
One sentence immediately explained why Emperor Mingguang issued this edict. Didn't this just tell everyone that Prince Chong just had special hobbies, so he was not a good king.
In the future, even if his son fails to live up to his expectations, it will not be Prince Chong's turn to fight for that position.
But this is not the point, the point is...
"Mom, we just withdrew our capital from the Yao family before, and suddenly this imperial edict came. What should we do? We can't go to the Yao family again and send the money back, right?"
"Then what should we do? Have we completely offended the Yao family? Even if we have to give it away, we have to give it away. I would rather give away more than to end up with the Yao family's small book and be troubled by the Yao family in the future."
One by one, the families that withdrew their capital were vomiting blood.
I originally thought that I was a little clever. I heard the "inside story" in advance and quickly figured it out for myself.
Who would have thought that Emperor Mingguang would actually issue such an imperial edict?!
With this imperial edict, who would dare to criticize the ambiguity between Mrs. Yao and Prince Chong?
On the contrary, these people who are withdrawing their capital are put in a dilemma. It is not right to withdraw their capital directly, nor to go back to the Yao family. No matter what they do, it is wrong.
At this time, Mrs. Yao Er is so proud that she asked you to withdraw your capital. Now it’s okay, it’s time for you to beg me.
While she was taunting those people who deserved it, she put on a cold face and made things difficult for them.
Why not be embarrassed?
When she first begged them, she didn't see them doing the Yao family's good. Since everyone was just in a "interest relationship", let's just let the interests speak for themselves.
If there is something profitable, Mrs. Yao Er will "reconcile" it after giving it a hard time; if there is nothing profitable, Mrs. Yao Er will directly refuse it with a cold face.
On the other side, Gu Qingling also asked the newspaper to publish a piece of news, saying that the Yao family was going to issue "stocks", worth one tael of silver per share, and anyone who held the stock would receive "dividends" at the end of the year.
Listed below are several factories and shops that participated in the issuance of "stocks". They are basically the busiest industries in Jinling.
As soon as this news came out, the whole of Jinling was shocked.
"Oh my god?! Is the Yao family crazy?! Doesn't he want to make money? He still sells this kind of thing?!"
"What do you mean?" Ding Daniu on the side was confused and didn't know what Zhou Qiao was happy about.
Zhou Qiao was surprised: "You didn't understand? Stocks, after you buy them, it is equivalent to owning shares in the Yao family's factories. As long as their factories make money, it will be based on the amount of your share.
How much dividends will be distributed to you at the end of the year...but for a short period of time, stocks are not allowed to be traded, so you can only use them as dividends at the end of the year."
"Is there such a good thing?!" Ding Daniu's eyes widened, "I heard that the Yao family's factory is making money. That paper factory and craftsman's workshop are making money. The paper we use,
Pens, what pens are not produced by the Yao family's factory? With such a good business, the Yao family is willing to share it with us?"
"How do I know this? If I knew, I wouldn't be here."
…
Things like this are happening in every corner of Jinling.
Most ordinary people don't know what the Yao family is doing. They only know that if they buy one share, wouldn't they be able to get a large amount of money at the end of the year?
Although one tael of silver is quite a lot, but if someone in the family works in various factories in Jinling, which one doesn't have a few taels of silver in deposit?
Therefore, they can still afford one tael of silver.
The key point is - if I pay out this tael of silver, will I be able to make money, or will I lose money?
