After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Yan Qingqing had heard about the separation of the Wu family. The main reason for the fuss was that no one in the Wu family was willing to separate.

But now, it is not up to them whether to divide the property or not, so they are all arguing with each other about who has ruined more of the family property over the years. Fortunately, they can share more when the property is divided.

Without Wu Jingzhi, the Wu family was like a piece of loose sand. Even if Wu Dongcheng wanted to rebuild the family business, he was unable to do so. Over the years, he had been addicted to women, and he had long been drained of his body, and he also lacked fighting spirit.

However, if Wu Jingzhi wants to completely break away from the Wu family, he still needs to fight with these people.

Yan Qingqing just smiled after hearing the news. Wu Jingzhi handled the matter quite decisively. Whether he can completely get rid of the Wu family depends on Wu Jingzhi's ability.

Yan Qingqing thought for a while and asked Ruyi to shout Ah over.

Soon Ada came over. Although he was no longer the chief steward of Mingzhao Mansion since he followed his wife to the capital, he was still her chief steward.

Madam trusts him far more than Butler Yu.

Besides, Ah Da knew that he was still young and had insufficient experience, and it was for his own good that his wife asked him to learn more. Therefore, although Ah Da did not have a clear position now, he never complained.

This is also the reason why Yan Qingqing is optimistic about him.

Ada greeted Yan Qingqing, and then asked: "Madam, what are your instructions for calling me here?"

Yan Qingqing smiled and said, "Have you heard about the Wu family?"

Ah Da replied: "I heard it. After all, it concerns the eldest girl. The younger one has been paying attention to it."

Yan Qingqing knew that Ada was reliable, so she said: "The Wu family has been divided recently. There must be many shops for sale at a cheap price. If you see something suitable, buy it back."

After saying that, he asked Ruyi to take 50,000 taels of silver notes to Ada, and then said, "If it's not enough, you can come back to Ruyi to get it."

Ada took the banknote and went out to wander around. After all, suitable shops also need to be carefully inspected. He couldn't just buy two to fool his wife.

Fast forward to the eighth day of the first lunar month, and the spirit of the New Year is gradually fading away. Yan Qingqing plans to open Rouge Fang and Charming Beauty as soon as possible.

Young man Yan Qing had already written to Li Sanniu, asking him to select a few capable shopkeepers and accountants to come to Beijing after the year.

It is estimated that it should arrive in about half a month.

After all, they don't have much property in the capital now, and Li Xiangan and Mu Xi can also take care of it.

But Yan Qingqing can't just waste the two of them in the shop all the time. After all, they have more important things to do.

There are also members of the Han family. The emperor granted marriage to Han Yu and Li Yueniang years ago.

Although the Ministry of Rites was solely responsible for the Three Books and Six Rites, Yan Qingqing still asked Han Yu's parents to come to Beijing to discuss the matter.

She didn't want Li Yueniang to have the same miserable in-laws as Li Xiniang.

Although she thinks the Han family will not, who can guarantee whether the Han family will expand? After all, Han Yu is now the number one scholar and has entered the Hanlin Academy on duty.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying in the officialdom that there would be no cabinet without the Hanlin Academy. Today’s cabinet ministers all come from the Hanlin Academy.

However, with Han Yu's qualifications, even joining the cabinet would have to wait decades later, and the Han family did not have the capital to take advantage of her yet.

There is also Ding Xiu. Li Xiangkang sent a letter to him years ago, inviting him to come to the Imperial College to study together, but the Ding family has not replied yet. Yan Qingqing is really not sure what the Ding family means.

There is also the matter of salt production. In addition to writing detailed procedures, Yan Qingqing may also have to teach on-site. Considering this, there is really a lot to do in the new year.

However, things have to be solved one by one, and Yan Qingqing has the patience.

Just when Yan Qingqing was making plans for the new year, Ruyi took back a post from the concierge and handed it to Yan Qingqing.

Ruyi knew Yan Qingqing's habits, and she would not get ordinary posts in front of Yan Qingqing.

So she took it and took a look. It turned out that Mrs. Pei invited her to go to Jiyun Temple to offer incense on the tenth day of the first lunar month.

Yan Qingqing is not keen on burning incense and worshiping Buddha, but he also has an attitude of awe towards Buddha. Sometimes burning incense and worshiping Buddha is also a spiritual sustenance.

Moreover, Mrs. Pei's reason made her unable to refuse, because Mrs. Pei said that she wanted to pray for the soldiers at the border and asked the famous master of Jiyun Temple to pray for the dead souls buried at the border.

Yan Qingqing thought that the reason why Mrs. Pei sent her this post was firstly because they had a good relationship, and secondly because Li Xiangjian was also a military commander and they would have some common topics.

After reading the post, Yan Qingqing immediately wrote a reply, telling Mrs. Pei that she would honor the appointment as scheduled.

On the morning of the tenth day of the lunar month, Yan Qingqing got up early and asked Ruxue to find a moon-white robe embroidered with lotus flowers for her.

Wearing a full-grade emerald white jade hairpin that resembles a precious flower, this outfit is simple yet somewhat luxurious.

Yuan Huiniang and Mu Xi heard that Yan Qingqing was going to worship Buddha and wanted to go with her.

Yuan Huiniang wanted to follow Yan Qingqing around because she was a little bored at home after coming to the capital.

Mu Xi was afraid that Yan Qingqing would be in danger when traveling. After all, Yan Qingqing had been assassinated twice, overtly and covertly, since entering Beijing.

Even though Yan Qingqing's arrangements were very thorough, Mu Xi still felt uneasy.

Yan Qingqing saw that the two wanted to go and did not refuse. It was also good to take them out for a walk.

Mu Xi saw that Yan Qingqing had packed up and said, "Madam, I have arranged the manpower.

There are eight guards traveling with us, and there are twenty secret guards. Another twenty people are deployed outside Jiyun Temple. If there is any emergency, they can rescue immediately. "

Yan Qingqing looked at Mu Xi with amusement and said, "Mu Xi, I won't dare to go out again if you act like this. It's such an exaggeration.

This is in the capital, at the feet of the emperor. Who can assassinate me? "

Mu Xi replied: "That's not necessarily true. Madam can still be assassinated in the palace, let alone outside the palace."

Moreover, Li Xiangan also told Mu Xi about Yan Qingqing's ability to make salt, and asked her to ensure Yan Qingqing's safety.

It is inevitable that someone would leak the news about such a big matter, and Yan Qingqing would be really in danger.

Yan Qingqing was a little helpless when he heard this, but if Mu Xi wanted to deploy more manpower, let her do it. Anyway, their home now has no shortage of secret guards.

Regardless of whether there is danger or not, it is good to let them go out to relax and refresh themselves.

Yan Qingqing picked two more pieces of jewelry from her dressing table and put them on the heads of Yuan Huiniang and Mu Xi. Then she said with a smile: "Okay, let's make ink. Mrs. Pei thought we were going to break the appointment."

After saying that, he took them both into the carriage.

Jiyun Temple is located ten miles outside the city. It is the national temple of the Great Yan Dynasty. Generally, only the royal family and dignitaries from the capital are eligible to come to Jiyun Temple to offer incense.

Soon Yan Qingqing arrived at Jiyun Temple. Looking at the majestic gate, Yan Qingqing was in awe of the solemn golden Buddha statue.
