Some people came up to chat, and Pei Xingyuan was busy brainwashing these people who were trying their best.
Mi Xiayao was naturally alone. She paid attention to Pei Xingyuan's direction and walked away from him without hesitation.
At the nearest window, I saw a woman holding a heater in her hand. Although her clothes were not luxurious, she looked like a woman with a solid attitude.
Daqi's folk customs are open and women are never restricted from going out, so many women can be seen at tonight's restaurant banquet.
"Mrs. Gu, how are you?" Mi Xiayao greeted skillfully.
The woman known as Mrs. Gu recovered her thoughts and saw an ordinary-looking stranger chatting with her.
"I am Qian Bo's wife." She introduced herself calmly.
When Gu Yun heard this, he let out a light sigh of understanding.
"How is your health lately?" Mi Xiayao asked directly.
Gu Yun is one of the most famous family bosses in Tangzhou. His brother is seriously ill and has been bedridden for several years. His sister-in-law is helpless and can only mourn. The huge Gu family can only be taken care of by Miss Gu's second daughter, Gu Yun.
Her deeds were well-known in Jingzhou City at that time.
I heard that a man was found to marry into the Gu family, but the man was also in poor health. After Gu Yun gave birth to an eldest daughter, her husband passed away, leaving behind a daughter with injuries.
Fortunately, Gu Yun is quick-witted and decisive, and is not an indecisive woman. The Gu family has developed rapidly in recent years, which is largely due to her.
Mi Xiayao had a good impression of such a powerful woman who was in charge of the family. She was an acquaintance in her previous life, and then she was busy with the affairs of the Duan family and clearing a lot of debts from those ungrateful people.
In this life, since she has encountered him, it is better not to fall into the pit of resentment like Pei Xingyuan.
and……
To be honest, the investment pit created by Pei Xingyuan was too much for her when she thought that he would make money and run away in the future.
"Mrs. Qian...!" Gu Yun didn't expect that someone he had never dealt with would know that she had a daughter. "I didn't expect...you are quite considerate."
Mi Xiayao smiled and said, "Madam, you also heard about the stock investment and came here to take a look?"
"People who are in business will always pay more attention when they hear that money makes money." Gu Yun has a generous personality and speaks frankly what he is thinking.
Mi Xiayao glanced at Pei Xingyuan who was not far away, "Money begets money, and ultimately there are risks. If you don't need to take risks, there is no need to invest in this investment."
"You have to look at novel things three times before you feel at ease." She turned to look at Gu Yun in front of her again, and said it very sincerely.
The two women's eyes collided.
Gu Yun hugged the stove in his arms tightly and laughed out loud after being silent for three seconds, "Your husband doesn't say that to others like you."
"You also know that even couples have two minds." Mi Xiayao cleverly avoided this topic with some teasing words.
The smile on Gu Yun's eyebrows deepened, "You are more interesting than Qian Bo."
"I'm much smarter than him." Mi Xiayao nodded in agreement.
"If you have a chance, come to my shop for a cup of tea?" Gu Yun became more interested in Mrs. Qian.
But the other party smiled mysteriously, "I'll definitely do it if I have the chance."
Then tonight there was a small chamber of commerce gathering at the restaurant. With Pei Xingyuan's strong encouragement, many vendors began to boldly throw thousands of dollars in.
On Mi Xiayao's side, she separated from Pei Xingyuan overnight, hired a carriage and set off directly towards the capital.
Pei Xingyuan, on the surface, said that his cooperation with her was terminated, but in fact he still sent secret guards to protect them.
He returned to Jingzhou City overnight to prepare for the finishing touches.
——
It was cold and snowy outside, and the carriage was several paces slower than usual in the wind.
But the snowy road ahead to the capital was blocked, and no matter how fast the carriage was, it would still be delayed for several days.
Mi Xiayao didn't want to waste time in such a place, so she drove the carriage directly along the road near the lake. Although it took a long detour, it could avoid the blocked road, which was a rough calculation.
Fortunately, the road around the lake was not completely blocked, and we arrived in the capital one day earlier than taking the official road and waiting for the snow to be plowed.
There was no need to face Yi Rong when she entered the capital. After changing back to her usual clothes, she held the child in her arms and passed the inspection of the capital gate. After entering the city, she went directly to the main house of Mi Mansion.
After all, the Mi family in Beijing was a civil servant family with three consecutive generations of cabinet bachelors. Among them, Mr. Mi was a bachelor of Wenhua Palace and was responsible for tutoring the prince in his studies.
It was precisely because the old emperor was terminally ill and unable to manage the government in a coma that the prince took the opportunity to deal with this old minister who had been delaying him from doing bad things. The Mi family also had a hard time in the capital these days because they had offended the prince.
Looking at the mansion that should have been glorious in the past, but now as dim and dull as dust, Mi Xiayao's eyes flashed with secret hatred.
When she entered the main hall, she happened to see several uncles sitting around, discussing who else could be entrusted to bring the old man out.
"Dad has been in jail for so many days, how long can he last without seeing anyone alive?" an uncle wailed.
Among them, the one sitting in the center of the town was my uncle. He glared and said, "There are so many people in the whole capital! We only found a few of them and they said such unlucky things!"
"What the youngest said is correct. If father were to fall, and the current prince does not recognize our status as civil servants, even if the other veterans try to stop the prince from executing us, the official career of the Mi family would have been over long ago.
"
When one person talks about mourning, there will always be others who follow him.
"That is, you are all well-established people now, and you can support your waist without feeling sore. If the reputation of the Mi family is really ruined, we are not like the third child in Qingzhou. We have money, even if we no longer serve as officials.
I won’t starve to death.”
"You mean to separate the family, Mi Feng!" the uncle yelled with his eyes widened.
Mi Xiayao stood in front of the door, listening to their quarrel, and seeing that they were about to start a fight, she had to speak out.
"Uncles, don't be anxious."
A woman's unique and clear voice sounded, quickly attracting the attention of the three or four people in the hall.
The leader, the uncle, saw clearly that the person coming was Mi Xiayao, and seemed not to have expected that the other party would come at this juncture.
"Ayao?"
"Uncle, the matter of my coming to the capital is a long story. The most important thing right now is grandpa's matter." Mi Xiayao knew the importance. She quickly passed over unimportant topics and said directly: "I have brought a lot of dowry now."
When I come back, half of the dowry was bought for me by my grandfather back then."
"Now that grandpa is in trouble, they should come in handy."
"The capital is so big, and there are so many intricate connections, there is always someone who is willing to help."
Her categorical words stood like a sea-fixing needle in the center of the lobby.
But before the needle could stand firmly, it started to wobble.
"It turned out that there was a person, but that bastard rebelled. Phew, people named Pei are all wolf-hearted people!"
