"Oh, my dear granddaughter, you are really going to tear out my grandmother's heart."
Looking at the crying Ji Wanying, Yu Wenshi comforted her with heartache: "Your mother just passed away, you must stop talking nonsense. Even if you made some small mistakes, they are not worthy of death. What's more, you are still an ancestor."
No matter what, she will not just watch you die."
As she said that, she looked at Lin Jinshu meaningfully.
Knowing that the eldest daughter-in-law always turned towards the one in the palace, she deliberately said: "Besides, your mother has been cruelly sentenced to death by the ancestors. Even if the fault is the biggest, your mother will atone for it. Queen, she
Why should I be dissatisfied? Now, in order to prevent my granddaughter from entering the palace, I have even instigated Your Majesty not to set up a sixth palace. How can there be such a domineering woman? I have never seen an emperor who favors only one palace."
Lin Jinshu was upset when he saw the grandfather and grandson singing in harmony, and simply said bluntly: "I can't help the princess with her thoughts. This is your majesty's family matter, but I still want to advise you, princess, you can still sit here peacefully."
That is the mercy of the Imperial Grandmother and His Majesty, I hope you will cherish it."
As he spoke, he warned everyone in a more serious tone: "Now that I have taken over the housework of the Ji family, I have always been a person who cannot tolerate disdain in my eyes. From now on, I hope that you will strictly abide by the laws of the country and the rules of the family, and do not have your own way.
, If there are people involved in the land enclosure matter, the occupied and hidden fields should be returned earlier, and the private breeding departments of the three states of Qinghe should also be abolished earlier. If I find that someone is committing crimes in violation of national laws, then don't do it.
It’s my fault that I don’t recognize my relatives.”
After saying that, he walked away resolutely.
Ji Cen'an was too lazy to watch the show in the second room's family anymore. He bowed to everyone and followed the princess out of the living room.
Ji Rongheng has long disliked his cousin. If it weren't for the protection of her ancestors, she would have had her head chopped off so many times. Now she is still here pretending to be pitiful and trying to cause trouble. She is really desperate.
Silently snorting a few words, he coughed and slowly stood up, and left with an excuse: "I haven't had time to go to the palace to thank you before I came back from Qingyang City. Seeing that the wedding is about to happen, my grandson has to go to the palace to personally thank His Majesty and the old man.
My ancestors expressed their gratitude."
After that, he walked away in a hurry.
"Oh, these juniors are really more outrageous than the last."
The old patriarch Ji Muzhou shook his head helplessly and sighed. When he looked back at Yuwen and Ji Wanying, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
As his eyes wandered, he scanned the dark crowd sitting in the hall, and advised with earnest words: "Jin Shu, this kid, may be speaking too harshly, but it is indeed true. For the honor and disgrace of our Ji family,
All clan members should really restrain themselves, the empire is no longer what it used to be."
After the words fell, the heavy sound of the cane resounded in the hall: "Let's all disperse."
After all, the arms could not hold up the thighs, and the Tang family was so powerful that it was wiped out by the new emperor in just a few strokes, not to mention that the Ji family had to rely on their ancestors. If they angered the Empress Dowager again, it would be difficult for them to have a peaceful life.
Seeing the family members in charge leave one by one, Ji Wanying felt even more confused and cried to death: "My grandfather, grandmother, brother, and sister-in-law can't tolerate me. My granddaughter has no shame in living anymore."
"They don't care about you, grandma does."
Yuwen's face turned livid with anger: "Today I will go to the palace in person to meet my ancestors. I will definitely ask for an explanation for you. Even if it is a request, I will also ask for a seal for you."
Considering the current situation of the second wife, Ji Muzhuo also hoped that Wanying could enter the palace, so he acquiesced to his wife's suggestion.
In Rongde Palace, Chu Nanzhi was leading Sang Qi, Lin Jinhui, Lin Jinyun and the Chu sisters to check the dowry lists sent by Ouchi.
Thinking of Sangqi who would return to the Tataraka tribe after the new year, Chu Nanzhi said to her with reluctance: "Sangqi, you have made a great decision by helping me pacify the three states of Qinghe this time.
Your majesty and I will keep your credit in mind, and we will definitely send a message to Jingling City when you get married, and I will personally prepare a dowry for you."
"My master knows everything well. My brother and I are just following the trend."
Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Sang Qi sighed sincerely: "I only hope that our two countries will always be allies and there will be no war."
"Will do."
Chu Nanzhi smiled and said.
Although she knew that the pretty boy was an ambitious guy, she would not start a war for no reason.
What's more, what the empire needs most right now is to recuperate and vigorously reform, rather than to invade and encroach on other countries.
A few people were talking when they saw Tang Weiming walking in with his son-in-law Liu Shuyang.
Since leaving Luyan Port, this guy has been running around running his toilet business, and I haven't seen him in almost two years.
Seeing that her son-in-law was becoming more and more calm and reserved, Chu Nanzhi happily stepped forward, looked at him carefully, and couldn't help but teased: "Shu Yang, you are becoming more and more like a master."
"Sister, please stop teasing me."
Liu Shuyang touched the back of his head nonchalantly, then handed the accounts in his hand to her, and introduced them one by one: "These are every account of the toilet business that Carpenter Wang and I have done in the past two years, as well as Dr. Qian's account."
Chu Ting asked me to bring the profit accounts of the hospitals, restaurants, and markets built in the capital."
At this point, he added with a slightly gloomy face: "These properties have made a lot of money this year, but the horse farm that my eldest sister asked me to run is really unprofitable."
Seeing him mentioning the racecourse, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but chuckle: "It's not a profitable business, so you can close the racecourse when you go back this time. Only two venues for playing polo will be left, and maybe things will turn around."
After saying that, he took the account book and handed it directly to Tang Weiming.
Liu Shuyang took another wooden box from the palace servant and continued:
"Last year, all the money I earned from the toilet business was invested in expanding production, so I didn't send any money over. This year, Binh Ninh Prefecture's income was pretty good. After taking into account the costs, I still had a profit of 90,000 taels. I converted all of it into silver.
The tickets are all in the wooden box. As for the account books and bank notes that Dr. Qian and Chu Ting had escorted, they asked me to bring them in together if it was inconvenient for them to enter the palace. If eldest sister has any doubts, just summon them again."
Looking at the box full of banknotes, each move was clearly marked, Chu Nanzhi herself was dumbfounded. What surprised her even more was that Liu Shuyang, a loser who couldn't help himself, had grown up in just two years.
Earned ninety thousand taels of silver.
She happily took out the 90,000 taels of silver notes arranged in the wooden box one by one, handed them back to him, and said with a calm smile:
"Shu Yang, these are all the money you earned with your own abilities. You and A Zhu will discuss the disposal yourself. But I have to make it clear that no matter what business you want to do in the future, I am very relieved.
It’s just that you have to abide by your duties and don’t think that you can do whatever you want now that you are the son-in-law of the father-in-law’s family. I hope that every money you earn is clean.”
Liu Shuyang has been tortured and persecuted by those profiteers and clans. Although she cannot be an official in the court now, she may have the support and protection of her eldest sister. She does not want to let her down, but she still wants to be like Taigong Zhao.
The respected Yishang made a solemn promise: "Please rest assured, eldest sister, I will definitely not disappoint eldest sister's expectations."
