When Princess Yong'an saw Gu Qianxue coming, she was overjoyed, "You bad girl, why did you come to see your foster mother after three days in Beijing?"
Get over your head and face, and train first.
Although the two are foster mothers and daughters, perhaps because they were bullied a lot by Princess Yong'an in the past, Gu Qianxue couldn't respect and love each other, instead they were like friends.
"Oh, the eldest princess is so funny. If you want me, go to the Shangshu Mansion to look for me. If you don't want me, just send a letter. If you don't look for it, you keep saying that you miss me. Is it fake?" Qianxue said without saying a word. went back.
"..." Chu Yan.
"!" All the servants.
Everyone was terrified, not only because they were afraid that Princess Yong'an would fight Princess Qianxue, but also because Princess Qianxue would make Princess Princess angry. After all, Princess Princess is pregnant.
Just when the butler was racking his brains to think of how to persuade him, the eldest princess gave her a blank look, but she was not angry.
"Huh? Do you think I have no eyesight like you? Considering that you have been away from Beijing for so long, your mother also misses you, and deliberately gave you three days to get close to your mother. How about you say that I am a fake?" Princess Yong'an pointed at Gu Qianxue with her white and fat fingers, "In that case, I'm not welcome, you can stay in the princess mansion for a few months and stay with me until your birth."
"..." Gu Qianxue's face fell down, "Don't, don't, I'm wrong, can't you? I admit my mistake to the great Princess Yong'an. It's because I'm ignorant and don't understand His Highness. Please don't leave me, I'm very busy. .”
Princess Yong'an finally couldn't hold back, and poked Qianxue Guangjie's forehead fiercely with her finger, "Are you busy? What important national affairs are you busy with?"
Qianxue was afraid that Princess Yong'an would come up stubbornly and leave her behind, which would cause trouble, so she hurriedly changed the subject, "I think the foster mother is flexible and has such a belly shape, maybe it's a boy?"
When mentioning the unborn child in her womb, Princess Yong'an softened her whole body, "That's right, Doctor Matthew made a diagnosis, and as expected, it's the eldest son."
Qian Xue took the eldest princess's arm, and the two walked along the smooth stone path to the mansion.
"My son? That's great! I think a stepmother is the most suitable for raising a son. She must be brave and good at fighting and extremely brave." Qianxue said.
Princess Yong'an heard something else from this seemingly flattering sentence, "You mean, I am not suitable for raising a daughter?"
Qianxue secretly laughed in her heart, she really knew herself. "No, no, mother-in-law, don't think about it, let me tell you, progesterone and estrogen are high during pregnancy, it's easy to think about it, it's not good."
The conversation between the two was very weird, like a gun with a stick, but sincere and warm.
Soon, the two of them entered the courtyard and went straight to the bedroom without going to the hall.
There is a small couch in the room of Princess Yong'an, which is covered with thick cushions, making it extremely comfortable to lean on.
The two of them took off their shoes and lay half on top of it. A small table was set up in the middle, which was full of rare fruit snacks.
"Go to the Palace of Three Treasures for nothing, tell me, what kind of problem did you come across to ask me?" Princess Yong'an stared at Gu Qianxue with a look of "I understand you".
Qianxue didn't raise the issue, she sat up abruptly, her face serious, "Mother, let's have a private chat!"
Princess Yong'an is very curious. You know, the consort has not allowed her to go out or practice martial arts on horseback for the past few months.
"You all go down." He sent all the servants out.
Qian Xuedao, "Mother-in-law, let me introduce you. This person's name is Chuyan, he is my confidant, so don't avoid suspicion."
Princess Yong'an saw that Gu Qianxue was not avoiding suspicion, so she didn't insist, "They're all gone, what's the matter?"
Gu Qianxue said, "Are there any official women in Beijing who do business? What kind of business do they usually do?"
The eldest princess was taken aback, "Do you need money?"
Qianxue nodded, "Yes."
"As much as you need, I will give it to you." The eldest princess said directly.
Qianxue was moved in her heart, but still refused, "No, no, I can't ask for the eldest princess's money, I want to earn it myself, so you just answer the questions I asked."
One is that she doesn't want to owe anyone any more favors.
Two, the nursery school is a bottomless pit. Since the children are adopted, they must be raised until they reach adulthood. According to the situation in Nanyue Kingdom, they must be raised until they are sixteen years old. It is not enough to rely on others to help them. .
The third is that she is not familiar with the aristocratic circles in the capital city. In comparison, Princess Yong'an is very familiar with her. She learned from the experience of her predecessors and avoided many detours.
Princess Yong'an sat up slowly, with a serious look on her face, "I know you are capable, but the laws of our Nanyue Kingdom clearly stipulate that you are not allowed to do business for officials."
Qianxue was surprised, "Why... there is such a rule?"
The eldest princess said, "Think about it, being an official has certain privileges. If officials and businessmen are integrated, they will inevitably fill their pockets. Don't talk about doing business for officials, even if they have many contacts with that businessman, they will be investigated."
Gu Qianxue nodded slowly, "It turns out that it is like this, so it's really good."
The eldest princess continued to explain, "Except for the family property of all officials, which do not need to be registered, all private houses and shops under the individual's name must be recorded and reported. The number of shops for officials themselves is limited to ten. There are five concubines and two other concubines. Those who exceed this amount will be punished. Of course, if there is an unexpected situation in the official’s family and he cannot afford it, he can also report it. If an official finds out, he will allocate funds immediately, and the state will bear all the required amount. "
Gu Qianxue was shocked after hearing this.
She thought that this era was backward, but she did not expect such advanced management regulations.
"So, if you really use money, or report it to you, or give it to me, but you can't do business," said the eldest princess, "otherwise it will affect Gu Shangshu's official career."
Qianxue forced a smile, "I don't use money, it's just a passing interest." Bitter in her heart, what should I do
Princess Yong'an asked again and again, but Gu Qianxue still insisted that she didn't need money, so she had to give up.
The two chatted for a while, and after lunch, the eldest princess wanted to take a nap, so Gu Qianxue left.
Before leaving, the eldest princess gave her pocket money of three thousand taels of silver, and she couldn't resist, so she had to accept it.
The carriage left the Princess Mansion, but Gu Qianxue's mood became more and more depressed.
If you don't want to use Mr. Su's five million taels of silver, you can't do business. You have 8,000 taels of silver in your hands, and dozens of taels of money come in every month, and there are more than one hundred children in the nursery. Do you want to sit and eat
Money is needed for food, money for clothes, education and medical care.
The more I thought about it, the more bored I became, and I felt very depressed.
"Stop." Qian Xue said.
"Princess, is there something wrong?" Chu Yan asked.
Qian Xue shook her head, "I'm very bored, let's get out of the car and take a walk."
"Okay." Chu Yan also agreed.
The coachman was sent back to the mansion by Qianxue, while Gu Qianxue and Chuyan wandered around the street.
"Business must be done, but to make money secretly," Gu Qianxue said, "It's not convenient for me to come forward, and Chu Yan, you are the boss, but what kind of business should we do? Where do we start?" ?”
"No, servant girl..."
Just as Xiang Yan was about to refute, a luxurious carriage stopped beside them.
The door of the carriage opened, and a young man came out of the carriage, dressed in purple, with a jade tree facing the wind.
