Reborn to be replaced, remarried to the royal palace to raise children and train husband

The Zheng family’s mansion is not large, even smaller than Jindu’s.

After all, in the capital, land is extremely valuable, but this scale is enough.

The servants in the mansion had long known that their master would be returning to Beijing, and had hired people to do repairs and clean the house several days in advance. Now, apart from looking a little cold and desolate, the mansion does not look dilapidated at all.

Because they came directly to the capital from the mountains, the items they carried with them were extremely limited, so the task of packing their luggage was omitted.

Gu Qinlan summoned the senior managers of the house, carefully inquired about the layout of the courtyard, and quickly made a reasonable allocation of the courtyard.

Princess Duan lived in the bright Chunhui Courtyard, while Zheng Huiyi was placed in the adjacent fragrant Fangfei Pavilion. Zheng Huaiyu's residence, the elegant Qiyue Garden, was located on the other side of Princess Duan's courtyard.

Gu Qinlan chose a courtyard named Qingyu for herself. It was the third largest courtyard in the entire mansion. The largest courtyard was naturally Chunhui Courtyard. Gu Qinlan planned to leave the second largest courtyard to Zheng Dinglian.

The residences of the two brothers Zheng Fenghui and Zheng Fengyun are adjacent to Zheng Dinglian's yard.

Since the masters did not bring much luggage, it was very easy for the servants to pack up, but the furnishings in the house did appear a bit simple.

Gu Qinlan then summoned two senior female housekeepers from the Zhao Mansion.

"As the two maids have seen, our family arrived in the capital like a famine refugee. We have nothing and need to buy almost everything from scratch. Can you tell me which shops in the capital are more reliable?"

The maid surnamed Ji replied respectfully, "If Miss San needs to buy some clothes, you can ask the embroiderers from Huajintang to come to your home. The embroiderers from Huajintang have outstanding craftsmanship and enjoy a very high reputation among the noble ladies in the capital."

The maid surnamed Liu suggested: "You can consider Dianjin Pavilion when buying jewelry. Even the empresses and princesses in the palace will send people to buy the gold and silver jewelry in their shop."

"You can go to Wanbaozhai to buy various artworks and decorations."

“For pastries and delicacies, head to Zhenweifang.”

"As for fine wine and delicious food, Xiankelai and Zuiyunxuan are the best choices..."

The two maids listed all the famous shops in the capital city one by one as if they were familiar with their own family.

Gu Qinlan nodded repeatedly after hearing this. These shops were also famous in her previous life.

However, she was somewhat surprised that she seemed to have some connection with several of these shops.

After the two maids left, Gu Qinlan asked Fu Yu to fetch the package that Zheng Dinglian had given her that day.

She found the answer in the deeds to numerous shops.

Those Golden Pavilion, Wanbaozhai, and Cyclamen were actually all Zheng Dinglian’s properties!

This is truly amazing!

All those shops that she coveted in her previous life turned out to be owned by Zheng Dinglian!

Gu Qinlan couldn't help but admire in her heart that Zheng Dinglian was really an extraordinary talent. He could not only fight on the battlefield, but also write with a brush. Even in the business field, he could achieve such brilliant achievements.

Is there anything in this world that he can't do?

Perhaps the only thing that cannot be done is to give birth to offspring.

Gu Qinlan was slightly surprised, then regained her composure.

She summoned Fu Yu over and said, "Go to Dianjin Pavilion and Wanbaozhai immediately and ask them to send some goods from the shops over. Also, have someone go to Xiankelai to reserve two tables of banquets and have them delivered to the mansion."

"Send someone to Huajintang and ask them to deliver some finished clothes and fabrics tomorrow."

Fu Yu immediately went to carry out the mission.

About an hour later, the shopkeepers of Dianjin Pavilion and Wanbaozhai arrived at Zheng's house in person with a large number of goods.

The two shops sent out a total of six carriages. Such a spectacular scene attracted the attention of passers-by.

When Fu Yu came back, he asked hesitantly, "Miss, if we make such a big show, won't it attract too much attention?"

Gu Qinlan smiled and replied, "We haven't done anything shameful, so why should we be afraid? We arrived in the capital with almost nothing. If we keep a low profile, I'm afraid people will look down on us."

In this capital city, there are many people who flatter the powerful and bully the weak. The Prince Duan's Mansion was once besieged by refugees in Jindu, and I don't know how many people secretly expected the Prince Duan's Mansion to be a joke.

At this moment, it is appropriate to be a little more ostentatious to show the extraordinary strength of Prince Duan's Mansion.

Sometimes, keeping a low profile is not a good idea.

Of course, it is not advisable to be blindly high-profile without understanding the current situation.

Fu Yu immediately understood: "So the secret is here. I have understood it."

Just as Gu Qinlan had expected, in the southern corner of the city alone, many families were closely watching the movements of Prince Duan's Mansion.

They entered the palace in a low profile, and many people thought that Prince Duan's palace might have been looted by the refugees, or even suffered more misfortunes.

However, to everyone's surprise, so many treasures were purchased in a short period of time.

Those are the world-famous Dianjin Pavilion and Wanbaozhai!

Each of the items is priceless.

Who would dare to question his strength after purchasing so many treasures at one time?

Before everyone's surprise had subsided, the Zhao family's steward arrived at the door leading several carriages.

The Zhao family welcomed all members of the Zheng family into the city with great fanfare yesterday, and today they sent in several trucks of supplies with great fanfare, which aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Hasn't the Zheng family always lived in seclusion deep in Jindu? How come they are so close to the Zhao family?"

"The Zhao family calls themselves loyal subjects, aren't they afraid of being laughed at?"

"The Zheng family is the same. Didn't they never interact with others in the past? I didn't expect that they would get so close to the Zhao family right after they emerged. They are so naive and have no scheming at all."

However, there are also people with keen insight who laugh at these talkative people.

"Why can't the Zhao family be a loyal and independent minister? How can the Zheng family clearly support a certain prince? The Zheng family has always been loyal to His Majesty and the court. The Zhao family and the Zheng family have the same stance. Isn't it the most natural thing for them to be on good terms with each other?"

Not only is it natural, it is also the scene that the emperor would most like to see.

The emperor is old, and the princes have their own thoughts, and the fighting has been fierce in recent years. How can the emperor be happy when he sees his subjects starting to choose sides?

He is not dead yet!

At this critical moment, the Zhao family and the Zheng family's high-profile display of friendship was undoubtedly sending a clear signal to the outside world: they would not favor any prince and would only be loyal to the current emperor.

How could the emperor not be delighted?

He has ruled for half his life. If he ends up alone and helpless, how will the world laugh at him?

Those who have come to their senses can't help but applaud: "The Zhao and Zheng families are really smart! They showed their friendship at this critical moment, and the emperor will definitely look at them with new eyes. Just wait and see, these two families will surely have smooth sailing."

There are many speculations from outside and the opinions vary.

However, no one guessed the truth: the friendship between the two families had nothing to do with state affairs.

The Zhao family and Gu Qinlan remained silent tacitly, and were even somewhat happy to see the misunderstandings from the outside world.

After all, this will provide the most powerful protection for Zhao Qingyu and Zheng Huiyi.

No one would doubt these two girls.

When the two girls learned about what their family had done for them, they were even more grateful.

How lucky they are that their family would rather be misunderstood than not protect them.

Zheng Huiyi felt it particularly deeply.
