I originally thought that I was not entering the harem of an emperor. There would be no concubines competing for favor, and there would be no need to stage any "palace scheming." It would just be simple.
After actually sitting down at the palace banquet and out of Li Wenchong's sight, Gu Qingling realized that every cat and dog wanted to step on her.
It seems like stepping on her will take advantage of her.
The "palace scheming" between the emperor's relatives is no less leisurely than the emperor's harem.
"Who are they?"
Gu Qingling called the names one by one.
Although she couldn't recognize the whole person, who asked her to follow Concubine Rong around her? She didn't know him, but Concubine Rong knew him.
"Then you are really not unjust..." Li Wenchong had a strange expression.
Because these people either had an old grudge against his mother and concubine, or had some relationship with the Prince of Jin County, or...
Some of the things Gu Qingling did blocked the way of others.
Li Wenchong and Gu Qingling had a close relationship. Only then did Gu Qingling find out that Mrs. Qi was one of the people who signed up to join the investment club but was kicked out by her.
If you want to put it this way, a lot of people were kicked out by her. Didn't she offend many officials of the Ming Dynasty?
But there is no way, the Daming Investment Club has just started, and even if she has projects in hand, it is impossible to start all of them.
In other words, she does not need such a large amount of funds for the time being, so she can only set conditions first and select a group of investors who are excellent in all aspects.
First, he cannot participate in the struggle for imperial power, second, he cannot be a prodigal, third, his family cannot be in decline, and fourth, he cannot...
If you don't line up like this, won't many of the powerful people in the DPRK be kicked out?
Even some seemingly neutral families were kicked out by Gu Qingling.
When Gu Qingling heard the reason, he felt helpless: "Can you blame me? If Daming Investment Club wants to develop for a long time, it must choose people with clean backgrounds. If I select them, will Daming Investment Club still have it in the future?
Already?"
Of course, Gu Qingling also knew that Li Wenchong was just talking.
If Li Wenchong hadn't forced her to do this, he wouldn't have helped her investigate the details of those people to see who could get in and who couldn't.
Although not all of the people let in are clean people, they are basically within control and will not damage the foundation of the Daming Investment Club.
This year was also the first year that Gu Qingling did not return to Jinling to celebrate the New Year.
A house is divided into several parts and each has its own New Year. It is really not deserted. Whether it is a big house, a second house, or a three-bedroom house, each one is a little unaccustomed to it.
But they also understand that they may have to live like this in the future.
"Do you think my mother is doing well in the capital?" Mrs. Yao Er looked at the moon in the sky and asked Mr. Yao, "Will she miss Brother Hong, Sister Ling and the others?"
"I will definitely think about it. They are my grandsons. How could I not think about it?" Yao Erye said, "Oh...if it wasn't for us, my mother wouldn't have remarried. If she didn't remarry, she could sit with us.
Let’s celebrate the New Year together.”
"Yes, I didn't feel it when Mom was here before, but now that Mom is gone, I feel that the house is empty, as if something is missing."
Not far away, the laughter of Brother Yu and Brother Zhou could be heard. They were having a great time in the company of their brother and sister, and they didn't need to worry about it as a couple.
But even so, the house still felt deserted without Gu Qingling, the big house, and the third bedroom.
The couple were relatively speechless.
In the third room not far away, Mrs. Yao San didn't feel much at all. She didn't care at all whether everyone was celebrating the New Year together. What she was more concerned about was why Mr. Yao didn't come back this year.
What Mrs. Yao San didn't know was that far away in Wangcheng, Mr. Yao San and Shi Wan had already lived a small life as a family.
Shi Wan was much more lovable than her, and everything followed Yao Sanye's psychology, so that Yao Sanye could save face outside, and when he came home, he was also warm and soft, happy and reluctant to miss Shu.
"father……"
Yao Anxi exposed a tooth as small as a grain of rice and shouted to Mr. Yao inarticulately.
That cute and cute look almost melted into Yao Sanye's heart, and he quickly hugged her: "Oh, my little darling, come here, daddy gives me a hug."
"Master, why did you hug me again? You will spoil Brother Xi rotten..." Shi Wan glared at him, as if complaining, but there was a hint of autumn in his eyes.
Mr. Yao enjoyed it very much and said: "How can I spoil my own son if I hug him? He won't be spoiled. Don't worry."
If someone who didn't know met her, they would think that Shi Wan was Mr. Yao's legal wife.
"Aqiu——"
Mrs. Yao San sneezed, and just when she was about to say something, she saw the maid Xin Dongxue coming to report that the old aunt wanted to invite her.
"It's not going to stop during the Chinese New Year!" Mrs. Yao San was depressed. She couldn't do anything about her mother-in-law.
She wanted to be reasonable, but Aunt Chen would not reason with her at all; she wanted to be unreasonable, but Aunt Chen was even more unreasonable than she was.
The old lady Gu Qingling has remarried again and even moved to the capital. Who should Mrs. Yao San ask to reason with?
Mrs. Yao San muttered and asked the maid Xin Dongxue to inform Yao Anyi.
Even if Mrs. Yao San no longer likes Yao Anyi, she also knows that with Aunt Chen, only Yao Anyi can speak for her.
If she wants to have a better year this year, she has to let Yao Anyi say some nice words to her.
Yao Anyi put down the book and sighed: "Okay, I understand, I'll go there right away."
Why can’t we spend the New Year in peace and quiet?
He just wants to read the book carefully, why is it so difficult?
…
Beijing.
Yao Mansion.
After Mrs. Yao arranged for her twin sons, she turned around and saw Uncle Yao staring at the moon in a daze.
"What's wrong? Miss Xin again?"
Uncle Yao turned his head: "Well, although I know that she is married close and will not suffer any grievances in the Huo family, this is still the first year of her marriage. In the first year, she did not celebrate the New Year at home, and in the first year, my mother did not
We don’t celebrate the New Year at home. In the first year, only our family of four will celebrate the New Year together..."
Originally, the Zhu family was so lively.
Even though each of the three bedrooms only had one or two sons, how could the house not be lively if the three bedrooms were together and there was an old lady like Gu Qingling around?
During the meal, he could talk to his second and third brothers and have three or five glasses of wine.
Although most of the time, he didn't remember what he said, but when he recalled the atmosphere at that time, he still felt very nostalgic.
"Tell me, when Brother Hong passes the Jinshi examination, if I find a way for him to become a capital official, will the second brother and his family move to the capital?"
"Uh..." Mrs. Yao didn't know why Uncle Yao said that, and said, "It's unlikely, right? Most of the shops owned by the second brother and sister are in their hometown. If nothing else happens, Sister Ling may also marry...
Locally, I think it is unlikely that they will move to the capital just because Brother Hong is in the capital. On the contrary..."
In the future, when her and Uncle Yao's sons are older and older, they will be more likely to return to Jinling for retirement.
If it weren't for the future of her children, to be honest, Mrs. Yao would have felt that her life in Jinling would be easier.
"What's the opposite?"
"On the contrary, we may go back to retire in the future."
Uncle Yao was stunned for a moment: "...That's good. If that's the case, then we have to write to the second brother and the others and ask them to leave a yard for us."
