When Jiang Fan and his party arrived in Beijing, there were still several days before the Chinese New Year. Gu Fangqiu took someone to pick them up at the pier in person.

The Gu family followed Gu Fangqiu and left in a carriage, while Jiang Fan and Guan Xiujin returned to the palace together.

Among the gifts Jiang Fan brought to the little emperor this year was a bag of sweet potatoes.

All the sweet potatoes in the village were dug up in December, and this year's output was much larger. Jiang Fan was finally able to eat with his stomach open. Before he left, he asked someone to figure out the sweet potato vermicelli and brought some to the little emperor.

After arriving in Beijing, Jiang Fan rested for one night, and went to the palace the next day to have a meal with the little emperor, talking about rubber trees and cotton.The little emperor also liked to eat the sweet potato vermicelli that Jiang Fan brought, and he couldn't wait to raise his hands in favor of the promotion of sweet potato planting.

After the meal, the little emperor also reminded Jiang Fan that Jiang Fan must be present at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve.

Every year on New Year's Eve, courtiers of a certain rank will bring their families into the palace to participate in the palace banquet. For them, this represents a symbol of status and the trust of the emperor.When Jiang Fan, a businessman without rank, appeared at the palace banquet, he didn't know how many people would pay attention to him.

However, he and Guan Xiujin will have a wedding sooner or later. This palace banquet can be regarded as the little emperor and Guan Xiujin disclosing Jiang Fan's identity to the ministers, letting them know who Mr. Jiang is.

But before that, Jiang Fan, Gu Changqing and the others sneaked a look at the person who wanted to marry Gu Fangqiu.

The man who wanted to marry Gu Fangqiu was Nie Yingjue. He was [-] years old and unmarried. He owned two famous restaurants in Shanghai.

The first time Huomiguo was shipped to Shanghai, it was sold at a random stall in front of Jiaoyan Pavilion. At that time, Nie Yingjue approached Gu Fangqiu as a partner, hoping that Gu Fangqiu could sell her Huomiguo in wholesale However, he was rejected at that time. Later, he could only buy a large amount of Huomiguo at the original price and sell them in restaurants, but it also made him a lot of money and attracted a group of new customers.

There is a chamber of commerce in the upper capital, and any businessman with a reputation will join. Sometimes there will be some kind of event, but people in this circle will not be able to get in at all, and will miss a lot of communication and opportunities.

In Shangjing, Gu Fangqiu was the ostensible manager of Jiaoyan Pavilion and Baizhen Pavilion. Not long after she came to Shangjing, she was invited to join the chamber of commerce.

Naturally, Gu Fangqiu would not refuse.

It was on this occasion that Nie Yingjue gradually became familiar with Gu Fangqiu.

Everyone was curious about the masters behind Jiaoyan Pavilion and Baizhen Pavilion, and if they wanted to inquire about each other, they would naturally not miss the inquiry about Gu Fangqiu.So what happened to Gu Fangqiu, anyone who joined the Chamber of Commerce, no one didn't know.

Gu Fangqiu has never concealed her past, nor has she felt ashamed.During the period, no one approached her with ulterior motives because they underestimated her, but coveted her wealth or the Jiang family behind her, because she remembered what her father said, and she could not bring trouble to Jiang Fan, and she also saw that Clear, so never been confused.

She is very polite in dealing with people, but she seems careless. Nie Yingjue appreciates the clear indifference in her gestures and gestures, so she started to be curious about the Jiang family behind Gu Fangqiu, and then began to be curious about her.

This kind of curiosity will inevitably change in the process of slowly understanding the distant view.

He had inquired that every time Gu Fangqiu went back to his hometown in the past two years, he would look at men. He felt that Gu Fangqiu could also look at him, and those people must not be as good as him.He is a straightforward person, and he doesn't like to twitch and test things slowly. He directly came to the door, in the store, counted his own conditions for Gu Fangqiu, and talked about his advantages and disadvantages that he thought he could show. Didn't hide it.

After finishing speaking, in Gu Fangqiu's blank expression, he asked seriously: "I want to marry you, what do you think of me?"

Nie Yingjue's family composition is a bit complicated, it can be regarded as a scholarly family.He is the legitimate son of the family, his mother died, his father hoped that he would study and take the imperial examination, but he was rebellious and unruly, he threw down his books and plunged into the business world.His father made a move and wanted to sever ties with him.

Nie Yingjue was also sad about this, but he thought about it very openly.But because there is still a concubine at the bottom, the other party is afraid that he will go back and block his way, so he always thinks of ways to send women to him, hoping that he will indulge in it.Even if Nie Yingjue cared about the little family affection, she was annoyed by this move, and said that she would not marry a wife until she was thirty.

So now in his thirties, he is still single, even because he is wary of his concubine, even though he is single, he still pays attention to his relationship with men and women. Prostitute, sleep with that famous actor tomorrow.

Although his father clamored to sever ties with him, he was actually just trying to scare him, trying to force him to change his mind, and they didn't do anything if it didn't work out. Moreover, seeing that this man was in his thirties but hadn't married yet, his father Inevitably, he panicked and began to ease the relationship between the two parties.

At this time, Nie Yingjue began to pursue Gu Fangqiu in private, sending a basket of fruit today and a bouquet of flowers to the store tomorrow.

Of course, he pursued him, but Gu Fangqiu didn't agree yet, and she didn't really like Nie Yingjue at the moment, but she had a slight liking for him, and in all fairness, he was indeed the most suitable condition among all the things she had seen.

Jiang Fan also thinks that Nie Yingjue is not bad. Although his temper is a bit fiery, he is not reckless.In terms of family composition, although he has a concubine younger brother, he himself is a legitimate son. Although he is a businessman, he has the skills to stand on his own, so he will not suffer no matter what.The main thing is that he is not the kind of person who obeys his elders in everything. If Gu Fangqiu marries him, and there is no mother-in-law above, they should be very comfortable living outside.

Gu Changqing also had his own connections in Shangjing. Within two days after arriving in Shangjing, he asked about Nie Yingjue and his family.After reading the information, Gu Changqing was naturally also very satisfied. In the past, Gu Fangqiu could not have children, and he also paid attention to whether his daughter would get married again. Now it is different. He still hopes that his daughter will have a happy small family.

Gu Li's mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law more, and the more she watched, the more satisfied she became.

Of course, it's useless for them to be satisfied, the main thing is to look after Gu Fangqiu.

Gu Fangqiu is not in a hurry, it's the same sentence, let's look again.

So Nie Yingjue entered a year-long investigation period, of course, this is all later.

Because Jiang Fan was going to enter the palace on New Year's Eve, Jiang Fan and Gu Changqing spent the New Year together the day before New Year's Eve.

The next day, Jiang Fan put on the elegant but gorgeous clothes that Guan Xiujin specially sent for him, and entered the palace with Guan Xiujin in a carriage.

There is no queen mother in the palace, only a few old concubines, and the only person Jiang Fan needs to meet when entering the palace is the little emperor, so the time for the two of them to enter the palace was not too early. When they entered the palace gate, many carriages had already parked beside them. Jiang Fan saw Among some of the women's relatives, there are several fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls who are elegantly or gorgeously dressed.

Guan Xiujin noticed his gaze and said, "It's almost seventeen."

At the age of 17, you can get married and have children.Guan Yiran is the emperor of a country, and someone in his harem has been making calculations for a long time.

In the past few years, the female relatives have not had the opportunity to enter the palace to pay their respects. The annual Longevity Festival and New Year's Eve palace banquet are two opportunities for them to meet the little emperor. Fadi just around the corner.

"Don't you want to be drafted?" Jiang Fan asked curiously. Isn't that how it is shown on TV? The emperor marries several wives at once.

Guan Xiujin said: "About another year. However, I have no intention of expanding the harem."

Jiang Fan was surprised. Most men yearn for hugs from the left to the right, but Guan Yiran is sitting in such a seat. It is a matter of course for him to have three thousand beauties in the harem, but he would refuse.

Others got out of the carriage, but their carriage continued to move forward. Guan Xiujin mentioned to Jiang Fan about the events related to the seizure of the heirloom.At that time, Guan Yiran, who was young at that time, actually still had a lot of resentment towards his imperial grandfather. If only he hadn’t married so many women and had so many children, then they wouldn’t have murdered him because of that chair. His imperial grandmother, parents and even his imperial uncle.

Guan Yiran didn't want such a thing to happen to him in the future, so he made up his mind to marry only one in this life.

The so-called virtuous wife is less harmful, if Guan Yiran really only marries one, then he must be very cautious in choosing the empress, and he must be able to control the family without him opening his mouth. After all, the harem has always been connected with the court. I don't want to add a family of wives whose desires are inflated just because someone in the family is a queen.

It was the first time Jiang Fan heard that an emperor would have such a unique lofty ideal. At that time, he made this wish, but he hadn’t become an emperor yet. After being influenced by power for so many years, he can still keep his original intention. Really rare.

Thinking of those well-dressed girls in front of the palace gate, Jiang Fan smiled, not knowing who would end up with it.

After getting off the carriage, Jiang Fan followed Guan Xiujin to the little emperor's place. Along the way, he met many ministers. When they saluted Guan Xiujin, they couldn't help but secretly looked at Jiang Fan next to him.

However, Guan Xiujin didn't intend to introduce them, and they didn't dare to ask, so they could only gather together to guess Jiang Fan's identity after he left.

Someone guessed Jiang Fan's identity. At first, everyone thought that Mr. Jiang was an old man. Later, after the Jiang family's incident came out, and combined with the news that some people sent people to Lishan Village to inquire, it was confirmed that Mr. Jiang was really just an old man. A young boy of twenty.

So some people couldn't help it. Mr. Jiang looked so young, handsome, and he didn't seem to be married yet. If he could recruit him to be his son-in-law, let's not talk about those rare good things. The main reason is that he relied on Wang An and Xiao The relationship of the emperor.

It's a pity that the other party didn't stay to talk to them, so they couldn't find a chance to talk to Jiang Fan. It wasn't until the palace banquet started that these people with different thoughts saw Jiang Fan and Guan Xiujin appearing with the little emperor.
