On the Wanshou Festival, the eldest prince had an affair with his direct cousin without a matchmaker. Although it was not widely publicized outside, everyone in the aristocratic circle in Kyoto knew about it, especially the second and fourth princes who had a chance to compete for the throne.
, and even took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, and asked the censor to read a book about the eldest prince, and be labeled as morally corrupt.
After this happened, Emperor Rende looked very unhappy. After all, it was the royal family's face that was hurt, especially when they got the news that the queen wanted to plot against Lord Huimin, and the reason for the plot was because of Lord Huimin's death.
After making connections, he felt extremely unhappy.
Let me ask the father who wants to see his son form a clique for selfish purposes, and wishes he could burp his ass quickly so that he can ascend to the throne. Isn't the Queen's behavior just looking at his position eagerly?
He knew that his sons were getting more and more anxious, but he was only in his fifties. Although the emperor's life was short, who could be happy with such an obvious look?
If the emperor is unhappy, everyone will suffer. He has a stern face and scolds every trivial matter. The eldest prince was even ordered to reflect on himself at home. Uncle Qiu Guo was criticized for his lax upbringing, and even those who were members of the eldest prince's party were scolded.
Everyone behaves with their tail between their legs.
As for Qiu Ningyan, she was waiting for the royal decree to grant her a marriage as a concubine, but Queen Qiu was already punished by the emperor to copy Buddhist scriptures. So she didn't even think about granting a marriage, she just rejected it without even mentioning it.
Let’s talk about the two of them.
In this way, the rumors outside are getting bigger and bigger. Some people even say that the two of them have been in an affair for a long time.
People say that Qiu Ningyan is so self-willed and degenerate. The more rumors spread, the more unpleasant it becomes.
Qiu Ningyan couldn't hold it in any longer and cried at home every day. She asked Qiu Guojiu to deliver the news to the queen. Qiu Guojiu was also annoyed. He was punished by the emperor. At this time, the family business had problems again.
The previously profitable Liulichuang business was wiped out by Qi Qiqi. Now, the most profitable cosmetics, powder and spices, suddenly someone used them and had a problem, causing disfigurement. Coupled with the Huimin County Lord, suddenly
Another one is called Liyanfang. The rouges and gouache inside are exquisite and come in many varieties. They claim to be able to turn a forty-year-old woman into an eighteen-year-old. The spices are also fragrant. There are only fragrances you have never seen before. There is nothing you can think of.
, even for men, some kind of cologne was released, which brought more than half of the business of Qiujia Xiangfang.
Not only that, a cloth shop of the Qiu family was also involved in a fraud. In order to gain advantage, they spent 30,000 taels of silver to buy a large number of so-called high-quality Yun brocade. However, when they arrived, they were all fakes that were of the highest quality.
Unfortunately, the merchant was still nowhere to be found, and he lost thirty thousand taels of silver in vain.
Uncle Qiu Guo was very worried. His sister had to make money in the palace, his daughter was making trouble every day, and his newborn son got sick every day, and half of his hair was gray.
How could he still smell a series of things? It was clear that Prince Xian was behind some of the incidents, but he could not do anything about it. In this way, Uncle Qiu complained about Empress Qiu. If she hadn't done this trick
, the family will not be like this, and his daughter was bitten and wiped clean by the eldest prince. No matter what, it was your royal family who took advantage of it. Are you not admitting it now?
Empress Qiu listened to the words brought by the palace servants from her uncle's house, smashed two sets of expensive tea cups, and then asked to be served and went to see the emperor.
As the Chinese New Year approached, the emperor finally relented and allowed the eldest prince to quietly carry Qiu Ningyan into the palace in a small sedan chair. She was not a concubine, but a good concubine. This made Qiu Guojiu and Qiu Ningyan very angry.
The seven holes produce smoke, but you don't agree. If it works, you can either become a sister-in-law or be tied with a white silk ribbon, whichever you choose.
Not to mention these troublesome things, Tian Minyan's life was extremely smooth and busy. Ever since the Longevity Festival, she had been meeting with shopkeepers and managers from various industries to check and reconcile accounts. She was busy non-stop.
As the New Year is approaching, everything needs to be done. Luo Shi will take care of the festivals, while she and her father and brothers will take care of the property.
Due to proper management, all of their businesses have doubled compared to previous years, not to mention the new business. The military uniform supply project in cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs has made a huge profit.
On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily again in Kyoto. Tian Minyan and her family gathered around the fire pit in the house to roast sweet potatoes and peanuts, while eating tea and talking.
"Master Xia said that it is basically impossible for me to take the Juren Examination in the past two years. It is not too late for me to study more and increase my knowledge before taking the exam. I just thought that I can't just study in Beijing all the time. My family has more business. I
It's also managed. It is said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. In this way, I can gain more knowledge." Tian Minrui said to Tian Huairen and the others: "Didn't Fang Yu skip the exam and go into business? I heard him say that he planned to go to school.
Let’s open a few shops in Liaoning. Our family also has Qian Zhifang. Now the business has grown, so I thought that I might as well cooperate with the Fang family and open a few shops in Liaoning when the new year starts. Dad, what do you think?
?”
"Doing business won't delay your studies?" Luo Shi was very worried, and Tian Huairen was also hesitant.
Tian Minyan, however, absolutely agreed and said with a smile: "Brother's idea is good. We can't stop studying and broaden our horizons. It will only be good for him in politics and business in the future. Besides, it's not like he said he won't take the exam.
I will still take the exam in the future. The Fang family in Liaoning Prefecture has the connections and connections, so our family’s business can be established."
"It's not like our family is short of money." Luo Che sighed.
Tian Minyan chuckled and said: "Who said there is no shortage? In the future, my dowry, my sister's dowry, and my brother Xiaowu's betrothal gift will all be money."
"Hey, you're not ashamed, and you even asked for a dowry." Luo Shi teased angrily, and other family members also laughed at her.
Tian Minyan didn't blush, and said openly: "How can I not mention it? How many years can I still stay at home? This house must be left to my father and brother. Only when this business is opened will there be a way out. If Xiao Wu becomes a
Being in politics means you are short of cash."
As soon as this matter came to the point, Tian Huairen and Luo Shi were at a loss. Xiaowu also said: "Sister is right, mother, my uncle's family is also doing business, we can also help. In the future, if the third brother can
If you can make a difference, you can also help. I think this is quite good."
"A big family, a big business, and luxuriant branches and leaves will be conducive to the development of the family." Tian Minyan said tightly.
"The family is big, the business is big, and the money is big." At this time, Xiao Yaya also clapped her hands and said with a sweet voice in Luo Shi's arms.
Luo Shi and the others were immediately amused and said, "Okay, once you brothers and sisters are relieved, can we still talk about it?"
These words were an agreement. Tian Minrui and Tian Minyan looked at each other and smiled. This was just the beginning. If their family wanted to grow stronger, they had to manage and develop, and they could not sit back and watch the sky.
Tian Minyan, on the other hand, thought of one more thing. This could be regarded as leaving a way out for Zhong County's uncle's house, just in case. Therefore, she did not intend to let some business come to the surface. She had to discuss with her brother and the others what to do.
