If the business woman does not help the poor, the villain's dream of prosperity will be shatter

After hearing what Qin Shu said, Xiao Cheng's face turned pale instantly.

Yes, since his surname is Xiao, he no longer has the right to be willful.

When he was young, had he never resented his father?

Have you ever felt sorry for your mother?

Everyone living in this world has their own limitations.

How many people can really live happily without restraint?

He also knew that his grandmother had always disliked Qin Shu.

Wanting to marry Qin Shu is undoubtedly wishful thinking.

Lord Ji is right: Qin Shu may look weak, but she is actually very stubborn and would rather break than bend.

It is even more impossible to let her be someone's concubine...

He doesn't have the qualifications either.

He should have known this would be the outcome.

He came here today under the influence of alcohol, but in the final analysis, it was only because he was unwilling to give up!

Qin Shu doesn't like him, so what about Fu Rong?

Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng asked, "What about Fu Rong? Do you like him?"

Fu Ying is the head of the Fu family, and his wife's family probably needs a lady from a prominent family.

Qin Shu twitched her lips slightly and replied coldly: "This has nothing to do with Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Cheng tilted his head, looked at Qin Shu with red eyes, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "That means I love you. I want to know, where did I lose?"

Did he lose because of his family background or because of his family?

Qin Shu was startled, then chuckled, "Mr. Xiao, not everything in this world is about winning or losing. If Mr. Xiao insists on an answer..."

She turned to look at Xiao Cheng, seeing his expectant eyes, and said word by word, almost cruelly: "That is, if you have never entered the game, how can there be a win or a loss?"

Xiao Cheng is one, and so is Fu Zheng.

After she learned that her father knew that her second uncle had poisoned her mother, but still put her mother in danger for the so-called repayment of favor, and that her mother eventually died from her second uncle's plot, she completely gave up on the word "love".

The words "never participated in the game" struck Xiao Cheng like a bolt of lightning.

With a pale face and a lost soul, he stood up and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his throat was choked and he couldn't make any sound.

He also knew that it was unmanly for a man to shed tears, especially in front of the woman he loved.

But my heart hurts so much!

Xiao Cheng turned her head away, letting the tears flow down her face. She said again, "I'm sorry," and then left as if escaping.

Li Youlin glanced at Qin Shu from the door and quickly followed.

Nanny Chun walked over to Qin Shu and called carefully, "Miss?"

Qin Shu came back to her senses, smiled slightly and said, "Mammy, I'm fine."

Nanny Chun sighed, "This Mr. Xiao is a very affectionate person. It's a pity that he was born into such a wealthy family, so he has to face many difficulties."

Who can I blame if I can't make promises to others and can't control my own heart?

Qin Shu looked at the door and said nothing.

Among all the tastes in the world, love is the most bitter.

But if we could control our own hearts, why would there be so many infatuated men and resentful women in this world?

Nanny Chun whispered again, "I heard that Madam Xiao in the palace invited Master Xiao to the palace yesterday. I think it was to propose a marriage."

Qin Shu smiled faintly, "Really?"

As for Xiao Cheng's marriage, Li Youlin brought in the news at the beginning of the hour of Wei: the emperor had arranged a marriage for Xiao Cheng, with the second daughter of Chen, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

The wedding date is set for early June next year.

Qin Shu also received an order from the emperor to go to Jin to promote the planting of new grains.

Since the founding of this dynasty, women's participation in political affairs has been unprecedented, and the imperial edict even gave Qin Shu the title of "Jiedu Yushi".

Of course, there is only a name but no rank.

But it also gave her full power to dispatch everything.

Nanny Chun was a little dazed when she looked at the imperial edict. After a long while, she asked cautiously, "Miss, is the emperor appointing you as an official?"

Qin Shu couldn't help but laugh, "No, Mammy, I'm not an official, but I have power."

It is against ancestral rules for women to serve as officials.

But if she is not given power, it will be impossible to intimidate local officials.

Now that you have this title, it is equivalent to doing work for the emperor under the banner of the emperor.

Almost the same as the imperial commissioner.

We have to wait until Fu Ying returns from the yamen to find out what exactly happened.

Unexpectedly, Fu Ying did not come back until dusk.

Speaking of this, Fu Ying couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "I used to think that those court officials were all dignified and serious, but I didn't expect that in the court, they were no different from that country shrew."

Nanny Chun and Qingsang couldn't help but move a small stool and sit aside to listen.

Today is the grand court meeting that takes place once every ten days. All officials in Beijing, regardless of their rank, must attend the court.

Fu Ying held a low official position and was almost at the end of the team.

I couldn't hear what the important officials of the imperial court were saying, but I could clearly see them rolling around, throwing tantrums, and rolling up their sleeves and cursing at each other.

Fu Ying took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "When the emperor proposed to let Shu'er promote the planting of new grains, he was immediately strongly opposed by the court officials headed by Grand Tutor Wei."

"Prince Jin directly proposed that Grand Tutor Wei do this, leaving Grand Tutor Wei speechless."

"Later, someone suggested that someone else be sent. The King of Jin asked that person who in the whole court could take on this important task. The person hesitated and recommended the King of Yu."

"The Emperor asked Prince Yu if he understood the way of farming, and Prince Yu replied that he did not understand. Then the Emperor's memorial was thrown at that person."

"This matter has been settled. But His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin said that if Shu'er went to Jin alone, she would have no power or position, and might not be able to convince the people. He requested that the Emperor grant Shu'er the title of Imperial Envoy."

"The people from the Imperial Censorate lost their patience and immediately came out to argue with the court's laws and ancestral etiquette. The emperor was furious and directly appointed Shu'er as a military governor."

Although the Jiedushi of this dynasty was a seventh-rank official, he not only managed military farms, but also dispatched military supplies and had certain authority to command troops.

Great power.

This was equivalent to setting a precedent for women to serve as officials.

"Then Cao Heng and Jian Zhongwei from the Censorate hit their heads against the pillar. Prince Ning took the opportunity to make a memorial, proposing to only give the title of Jiedu Censor without granting a rank. Prince Yu was to supervise, and the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Agriculture all sent people to go to Jin with Shu'er."

This is how the matter was settled.

The emperor must not want Prince Jin to take all the credit.

Prince Ning and Prince Yu also achieved their goal of getting involved.

Fu Ying explained the whole story in just a few words, but it was unknown how much thought the advisers from various forces had to put into the process.

Qin Shu's heart moved, and she asked, "Are you going with us?"

Fu Ying raised his eyebrows, looking innocent, "I am the deputy director of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Water Resources, and I am the head of the Fu family. Who in the whole court is more suitable than me?"

Seeing his smug look, Qin Shu couldn't help but smile.

Fu Ying scratched his nose and smiled shyly, "In fact, His Highness told me about this long before I went to the Water Department. But at that time, nothing was finalized, so I didn't tell you."

Qin Shu was slightly stunned: This is Fu Ying’s own business, why should I tell her?

And why does the meaning of this sentence sound so strange?
