Xiao Muqing has always been well-behaved, and Mrs. Xiao felt that she no longer had her by her side since she was a child. She felt very guilty, so how could she not love her more.
But upon hearing Bai Ling's name, Mrs. Xiao's expression turned cold.
"Although she is a princess bestowed by the royal family, her background is not worthy of mention and she is not worthy of your brother."
Mrs. Xiao did not hide it from Xiao Muqing. After all, her daughter would marry into a big family and become the head mother.
"The Xiao family has been a prominent family for centuries. Your brother is the young master of the Xiao family, so he is qualified to marry a royal princess. The Bai family comes from a peasant family. Without the royal gift, Bai Ling is not qualified to be your brother's concubine.
A girl who is in public all the time and even sneaks into the military camp has a bad reputation."
"Mom has misunderstood. Ling'er is a doctor. He is effective in treating plagues and is praised by everyone in heaven."
Xiao Muqing hurriedly spoke out, using her eyes to signal Mrs. Xiao not to talk nonsense, lest the walls would have ears.
"My daughter knows that her mother loves her brother, but the Xiao family is already a prominent family and it is rare for her brother to be tempted. Why doesn't her mother help her brother?"
Seeing that her daughter was so sensible, Mrs. Xiao's anger became a little less intense.
But when I heard that my son was attracted to Bai Ling, my displeasure towards Bai Ling increased even more.
"Your brother doesn't need support from his in-laws, but if he marries a wife from a small family, he will inevitably be ridiculed. The upbringing of his children will also be a problem in the future. If Bai Ling really wants to marry in, let her ask for the title of the princess to be reduced, and reluctantly
Give her a concubine."
Mrs. Xiao said in a benevolent tone.
"This..." Xiao Muqing stopped trying to persuade her, knowing that this was Mrs. Xiao's biggest concession.
Bai Ling, who was completely unaware of the conversation between the Xiao family's mother and daughter, immediately made arrangements for the opening of Hua Xiangrong after returning to the house.
Duan Yulang also came to the capital to deal with some matters and came to see Bai Ling. Duan Yulang helped arrange many things, which saved Bai Ling a lot of trouble.
This time Chu Wen also came to the capital. Chu Wen, who had saved some money over the years, also wanted to do something.
However, if you want to buy a shop in the capital, you won't be able to do it, but you can still churn out some goods and earn some money from running a business.
"Brother Chu Wen, would you like to help me?" Bai Ling knew Chu Wen somewhat well and knew that he was unwilling to owe favors, so he took the initiative to ask.
"Linger just say it," Chu Wen said.
"I want to open Hua Xiangrong to all major cities, but it's not convenient for me as a woman, and I don't have any acquaintances in other places to support me. Is Brother Chu Wen willing to be a pioneer for me?" Bai Ling asked.
Chu Wen never used the back door because of his good relationship with the Bai family, but he was also well-known in Zidong City, which shows that he was a man of skill.
Bai Ling needs the dark forces, but he also needs the industry that can lead the way, so he naturally needs a trustworthy helper.
"If Ling'er trusts me, I will do it." Chu Wen thought about it briefly and nodded in agreement.
Over the years, Chu Wen has been working hard to make progress, never taking advantage of the Bai family, but the distance between him and the Bai family has become wider and wider, otherwise he would never nod his head today.
"Thank you so much, brother Chu Wen."
Bai Ling smiled slightly.
"Whatever Brother Chu Wen wants to do, he can do it at the same time. It's all easy. But I can't let Brother Chu Wen help in vain. From now on, every time Brother Chu Wen helps me open a new store, I will give it to Chu Wen."
Brother Wen’s half of the net profit, Brother Chu Wen, don’t shirk it, or else just pretend I didn’t say it.”
Bai Ling remembered their childhood friendship and was willing to give Chu Wen a hand, but he didn't want to go too far.
Half a percent profit is still a considerable profit in a year, not to mention there will never be only one store.
This time Chu Wen did not refuse, he just took a deep look at Bai Ling and nodded in agreement.
After Bai Ling thought for a whole night, he wrote down the names of several cities and asked Chu Wen to start with these places first.
The start-up capital was naturally provided by Bai Ling, and the goods were also provided by Bai Ling. Chu Wen needed to find the manpower himself.
As the saying goes, first be a villain and then be a gentleman. Bai Ling wrote an agreement and asked Duan Yulang to be the middleman.
"You are so partial! You don't want to think about me, but you give such a good thing to a young boy. What's the difference between this and giving money?" Duan Yulang said angrily before leaving.
"People's hearts are naturally biased. If you have the ability, show me how to be straight." Bai Ling waved his hand, indicating that he would not give it away.
In the palace, Pearl Palace.
Concubine Ming died due to dystocia, so the infant Princess Yayang was given the title and became the most favored among the princesses.
Looking at the three words "Pearl Palace" inscribed by the emperor himself, we know that Princess Yayang is the apple of the emperor's eye, and even the queen has to give her some credit.
In addition, Princess Yayang's maternal ancestral home is the Han Dynasty, and she will not compete for the throne. No one wants to kill her. However, there are always several princesses who are jealous of her being favored. Overt and covert fights are inevitable, but
He won't have a bowel movement.
"Is your mother sure?" Princess Yayang asked excitedly when the little palace maid who was running errands came back.
Princess Yayang should not be like this when she often leaves the palace.
But the letter Shangguan Yu wrote to her had already made Princess Yayang unable to sit still. She wanted to see what kind of woman Bai Ling was that could be so protected by her cousin.
But Shangguan Yu clearly stated in the letter that unless Bai Ling was in danger in the palace, Princess Yayang could not come forward, and it was best not to have any intersection. This is the real protection.
"The Queen said that the princess has not left the palace this month. If she wants to play outside for a few days, she can, but she must bring enough guards." The palace maid replied.
"Okay, you go make arrangements. I will go and talk to my father." Princess Yayang stood up and said.
Although she is favored, Princess Yayang is very well behaved and understands her situation very well.
Raised in the Han Palace since she was a child, Princess Yayang is not an ignorant girl, nor is she coquettish.
Royal study room.
"Your Majesty, Princess Yayang has come to say hello to you." Desheng saw the emperor holding up a cup of tea and hurriedly stepped forward to report.
"Let the princess come in." The emperor raised his eyebrows and knew that Princess Yayang had left the palace again, otherwise she would not have come to him.
"My son, I would like to send my regards to my father." Princess Yayang saluted as she entered the royal study, and said delicately: "My father is diligent in his work and loves his people, but he must also take care of his body. The sun is shining brightly outside now, so my father takes the time to go out for a walk.
The imperial doctor said this is good for your health."
"Yayang is the one who cares about his father the most, but it's a pity that your mother and concubine..." The emperor looked at his daughter who looked 80% similar to Concubine Ming sadly, and did not say the next words.
Princess Yayang is a little disappointed. She has never seen her mother and concubine since she was a child, and she has no deep feelings for her. However, she envies others who have mothers to take care of her.
However, Princess Yayang has a cheerful nature, so she is also tolerant.
"I want to leave the palace and visit my aunt. I have already informed my mother and queen. In a few days, my mother and concubine will die. I want to go to Huangjue Temple to recite sutras and pray for my mother and concubine. I also ask my father for permission." Ya.
Princess Yang’s way of blessed life.
"Go, you are a filial child, and your mother and concubine will be pleased." The emperor sighed, and then asked: "Bring more guards, and bring your usual things. There is no need to rush back to the palace.
Let’s play there for a few more days.”
The right thing is to relax your mind.
Every time after the death anniversary of Concubine Ming, Princess Yayang would be depressed for a few days, which made the emperor feel distressed.
"Thank you very much, Father. When I return to the palace, I will bring you fresh fruits." Princess Yayang was blessed again, but she did not follow the rules and looked very happy.
"Okay, my father is just waiting for the fruit from Yayang." The emperor smiled and waved his hand, with a hint or two of guilt hidden in his eyes that was hard to see.
As for whom he is guilty of, only the emperor himself knows. (To be continued)
