Looking at the arrangement of the old lady, Mrs. Yao Er could guess that the old lady was planning to make two preparations.
On the one hand, Dafang seeks development in the capital and a future for the Yao family.
No matter which descendant of the Yao family becomes successful in the future, as long as there are members of the Yao family in the capital, it will not be difficult to make a difference.
In other words, when her son Yao Anhong takes the imperial examination and enters Beijing, he will be taken care of by a big house.
On the other hand is Jinling.
The old lady's vigorous development of Jinling was actually to preserve the foundation of the Yao family. Only with the foundation, should something happen to the capital, would there be a place to retreat.
Instead of like before, after being "driven" out of the capital, the Yao family had "nowhere to compare"?!
It was embarrassing to go back to Jinling, but I had no choice but to find a place to stay closer to the capital, namely Yunyang City.
If it hadn't been for the old lady who found a prescription for preventing and curing smallpox from somewhere and brought a glimmer of glory to the Yao family, she could have found some ground for the Yao family and returned to Jinling in a "return to hometown in glory".
It is said to be "returning home in rich clothes", but anyone with a sharp eye can guess what is going on.
It is also because of this that when I first returned to Jinling, the Yao family was actually not very popular. However, Mrs. Yao had a better status and was a first-class wife. The Yamen had to give Mrs. Yao some respect, so...
Mrs. Yao took great power to clean up the Yao family in Jinling, and gave everyone in Jinling a severe blow. It was also from this time on that everyone in Jinling knew that the Yao family in the capital was not easy to mess with.
Because they were not easy to mess with, no one dared to attack the Yao family easily, so the Yao family had the opportunity to slowly develop under the leadership of Gu Qingling.
Slowly, today came to be.
If it were in the past, Mrs. Yao Er would definitely not be happy to leave the capital. After all, the capital is the center of power in a country. If she leaves the capital, what will happen to her children in the future? How will she take care of her natal family in the future?
But it's different now.
Now the development of Jinling has given her some hope, and also made her realize that staying in Jinling has more benefits.
If the second Mrs. Yao chooses the capital, she will always be inferior to Mrs. Yao. There is no way she can do it. She is the eldest daughter of the Yao family and the wife of the clan, so she is naturally the representative of the Yao family.
But what if Mrs. Yao Er chooses to stay in Jinling?
In Jinling, she is the "face" of the Yao family. Not only will no one pressure her, she can even take advantage of the glory in the capital to get wind and rain.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. As long as the Yao family does not make mistakes, what is the difference between her in Jinling and the earth emperor?
What's more, in Jinling, she can also take care of her parents' family.
What's more, because she has the final say here, she has more room to operate. She can send whatever she wants to her parents' family. She has money in her hands and doesn't need anyone's "permission" at all. It feels so unnecessary.
So cool.
Mrs. Yao Er was worried about Xiao Jiujiu, but Gu Qingling pretended not to notice.
There are no fish in the water, and Mrs. Yao's selfishness does not touch the interests of the Yao family. To a certain extent, everything she does is just to protect the interests of her second wife.
Just like Mrs. Yao, she would also do some small tricks for the benefit of the big house.
She didn't care about these little fights, as long as they didn't get in front of Gu Qingling and didn't exceed Gu Qingling's bottom line. She wasn't deaf or dumb, and she wasn't a family man.
At her age, there are certain things that she has to learn about Buddhism.
It had been a long time since she had entered the scent-smelling space. Gu Qingling took some time off and wanted to tidy things up before returning to Beijing to avoid inconvenience when she arrived in the capital later.
After all, she returned to the capital to "get married."
Even if her marriage to Li Wenchong is full of calculations and the product of various trade-offs, as soon as she gets married, her personal space will be invaded by Li Wenchong, and she will not be as free as she is now.
"call……"
Gu Qingling breathed out.
Suddenly, I want to regret my marriage again, how to break it?
【Ding……】
[The merit points have been accumulated, and the system is officially activated.]
…
Gu Qingling, who had just entered the space, was stunned for a moment.
What?!
system?!
Isn't she bound to the "scent-smelling space"? What does it have to do with the system?
Also, she has been in this world for so many years and has used this space for so long, how could she only activate it now?!
There was a white mist in front of his eyes, and then Gu Qingling was "thrown" out of the fragrance-smelling space.
Yes.
That's right, it was thrown out.
He also threw his butt in such a way that Gu Qingling was stunned.
Rubbing her sore butt, Gu Qingling couldn't believe this was true.
Damn it, the "scent-smelling space" she has used for so many years has always been a "trial version", right?
If she hadn't been "ambitious" and engaged in economic development to accumulate enough merit, wouldn't it mean that she could only use one "trial version" space in her life?
[Ding...the system has been activated, please log in again and bind your personal identity.]
Upgrade so quickly?
She thought it would take several days. Gu Qingling was a little surprised and said "Go in" in her mind.
In an instant, she returned to the scent-smelling space.
This time, she was shocked.
The space for smelling fragrance used to be small, just "a few acres", and equipped with a well (i.e. Lingquan Well), and the rest were all purchased by her later.
However, now, not only has the scent space suddenly become extremely large, but there are also distant mountains and forests, and the fields are endless as far as the eye can see, and there is even a stream running through it.
The small house that she had worked so hard to build had turned into a large, antique courtyard with a warehouse next to it.
In the forest filled with white mist, there were faint sounds of birdsong, and there seemed to be wild roars.
Gu Qingling: "..."
So, the scent space she used for several years before was just a "trial version"?
Is this the real "smell-smelling space"?
【Ding...are you bound?】
"Bind."
[Hand-made gift packs are being distributed, do you want to collect them? 】
"receive."
A white light flashed before Gu Qingling's eyes, and a palm-sized little guy with two pairs of dragonfly wings appeared. It had long hair as black as a bath in the sea, scattered behind her, fluttering in the wind.
On both sides of the long hair, there are two thin strands of hair, with a bunch of small fluorescent white flowers tied on them. On the top of the head, there is a golden crown.
It slowly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of eyes as dark as night.
When Gu Qingling's appearance met its eyes, the little guy showed a sweet smile, with the dimples at the corners of his mouth: "Wow! Did you wake me up?"
"That's right, you are the novice gift package sent to me by the system." She thought the gift package contained some kind of seeds, but she didn't expect it to be a Chinese version of an elf?
[That’s it, Master, I am the Elf Butler. In this space, I know everything...] It circled around Lu Qingling, looking happy, [Master, for the sake of being so cute.
