History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

"Prosperous age?" Minning heheed.

In her opinion, no matter how many factories she opens, it will not benefit one out of ten people in the Qing Dynasty, and more people still live in scanty clothes.

People in Fucheng today are not as wealthy as ordinary rural people in her era.

In that era, we did not dare to call it a prosperous age, but dared to call it a developing country. How can this era have any face?

Minning turned her head and asked Biying, "Who has the face to advocate it?"

"That's what the newspapers say. A few days ago, a courtier said that the people in the suburbs of Beijing have already lived a life of eating meat, and they called for a prosperous age to come."

Min Ning sneered, "Where is the flatterer again, this is putting gold on the emperor's face!" If she is a superior, she will directly beat this person out with a stick.

"Master, you can't say such things outside." Biying was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward to cover her mouth.

Minning rolled her eyes, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Prosperity?

snort!

Taking the people in the suburbs of Beijing to represent all the people in the entire Qing Dynasty, how can they have that face?Don't forget, her factories are the most opened in the suburbs of Beijing, that is to say, those common people work for her to live such a good life.

It has nothing to do with those officials, each of them has a thick skin.

"What's the attitude above?" Minning held the pen in his hand, supplementing the regulations written by the fourth master before.

"I haven't heard anything, but the emperor seems very happy. He even went to the suburbs of Beijing in micro-clothes yesterday. No, it was reported in the newspapers."

Minning probably understood that only the imperial court could command so many newspapers.

Newspapers are under the control of the imperial court. No matter whether the imperial court wants to advocate the coming of a prosperous age or other things, the newspaper office has to follow suit no matter what it thinks.

"That's not true. The emperor has always wanted to be a wise king in a prosperous age. These people are also in the emperor's favor. In fact, our emperor doesn't know why. The foundation of the imperial court is dying. Can the people have a good life?" Last year, the folk song "Kangxi Kangxi eats bran and drinks water" would not come out. At that time, many ministers resigned.

Unexpectedly, only a year has passed, and this group of ministers became bolder again, and the strange thing is that the emperor also accepted it.

Bi Ying shut her mouth, not daring to answer those words.

Copy it again, and when the ink dries, Minning stuffs the small book into his pocket.

"I have something to go out, you help me look after a few children." Min Ning walked out, halfway through, he seemed to remember something and said to Bi Ying behind him.

Biying stopped in her tracks and watched Minning leave helplessly.

"Master, where are you going?" Minning came to the outer courtyard to ask someone to prepare a carriage, and Zhang Qilin hurried over after hearing the news.

"Why should I report to you?" Minning looked down at him after getting into the carriage.

Zhang Qilin thumped, and quickly fell to his knees, "The slave doesn't have the guts, it's just that the master Baylor has explained that you won't be allowed to go out during this time."

"I'm just looking for Lord Baylor, you'd better get up." After Minning finished speaking, he got into the carriage directly.

The coachman was about to leave with his carriage, Zhang Qilin hurriedly got up to dodge.

"Grandpa Zhang, what should I do? Lord Belle told me that it is best not to let Master An go out during this period." The group of Japanese did not give up looking for Master An.

Zhang Qilin looked back at the speaker with a helpless expression, "What can I do? Master An insists on going out, can you stop him?"

The two faced each other and sighed together.

The carriage drove out of Baylor's mansion, Minning opened the curtains, and saw two people waiting not far from the gate of the mansion. These two people were short in stature and flat-faced, sitting cross-legged opposite the mansion.

Minning lowered the curtain, thinking that these Japanese people were quite persistent.

I have to talk about this a few days ago, the emperor finally agreed to summon the Japanese, and these Japanese even brought the lawsuit before the emperor, which was related to the members of the royal family. Handle it yourself.

But after all, the capital was the territory of the Qing Dynasty. After the Japanese hit a wall a few times, they thought of going to Minning directly and asking Minning to return their innocence in the newspaper.

Minning ignored it. Which one was false in the newspaper?To restore their innocence, wouldn't that mean pouring sewage on themselves?

In this way, the Japanese divided two people and came to sit in protest opposite Baylor House.

When to return their innocence, when to evacuate.

There was no such thing as protest in the Qing Dynasty. The people of the Qing Dynasty had a very high endurance, until they couldn't bear it, they would directly rebel against you, and they would never play sit-in protests with you.

Fortunately, these two people are far away from the gate of the mansion, and the two sides are still in a state of confrontation. What should happen to Baylor Mansion, just ignore these two people.

The carriage rattled to the household department, and before Minning got out of the carriage, he saw a lot of people crowded at the household department entrance.

After getting off the carriage, Minning approached.

Only after looking at it did I know that there was a list posted in front of the household department.

The list shows which companies are qualified to invest in maritime trade.

She took a rough look and found that the requirements were quite high. The companies that wanted to participate had to invest no less than 10 taels.

10 taels is a small amount for companies established by some businessmen, but for some small officials from poor families who rely on borrowing from the state treasury for a living, it is out of reach.

The threshold of 10 taels can reject many people.

That is to say, the company established by the imperial court was not friendly to some people this time, so Minning had another idea. In this way, she could form another company to play with those small officials.

This not only wins the relationship, but also binds these petty officials to their boats.

Still thinking in his heart, Minning did not enter the household department, but turned around a newly opened door on the east side of the household department.

There is a courtyard in the household department, which is close to the east gate. Recently, this courtyard has been independent as a place for sailing and attracting investment. In order not to disturb the regulations of the household department, another gate was opened and it was directly independent.

Minning handed a sign to the gatekeeper, and when he entered, he found that there were also many people in the yard.

Everyone sat close to each other and whispered, and Minning could tell that they were a small group.

Minning walked to the front of the main room, scanned the room, and saw the fourth master who was sitting at the desk and recording something.

Fourth Master was busy and didn't see Minning, but Eighth Master saw it. He got up and left the desk, "Little Sisao."

Fourth master also heard the voice and looked up.

"Why did you come here?"

Minning bowed to the eighth master first, and then walked to the fourth master's desk.

Fourth master handed the writing paper to the person at the desk, and the person took the paper and saluted and left.

Minning took out the small book in his pocket and handed it over, "Hey, I have added some rules and regulations for you, and I brought them here for you to read."

Fourth master took it, glanced at it from beginning to end, and found that compared with this book, the one he wrote was full of omissions.

And in this regulation, everything that should be thought of has been thought of, and some things that he didn't think of have also been predicted here.

Seeing the end, he pointed to the last line and said, "The final interpretation right belongs to Daqing Trading Company. What does that mean?"

"It means that we have the final say on how to interpret all the treaties." Minning replied with a smile.

Ba Ye who was on the side heard this and came over, "It's still my little sister-in-law who can come up with this trick." No, if there is any objection to the rules, they can explain them however they want.

In the past, this was just a secret rule, but no one has ever written it on paper.

Seeing the eighth master coming, the fourth master did not say a word.

Minning continued, "That's all I can think of. There will definitely be mistakes in the implementation of these regulations, and we will continue to rectify them in the future. Some regulations are not applicable, some regulations are outdated, and there are some new problems that do not have suitable regulations. I It is recommended to draw up once a year, what should be changed, what should be deleted, what should be added, and everyone should discuss it carefully.”

Minning does not suggest that all regulations should be rigidly set and not changed. Society is changing and times are changing, and some regulations will definitely become outdated.

After hearing this, the fourth master didn't say anything, and threw the small book directly to the eighth master, "Old man, take a look again, and send someone to take it to the bookstore to print a few more copies, and when the person comes, I will send a copy Give it to him." After finishing speaking, Fourth Master pulled Min Ning away, leaving Eighth Master alone.

Eighth Master smiled helplessly with a small book in his hand. He didn't expect that he really came here to do odd jobs for Fourth Brother.

"This place is full of men, so it's not suitable for you to come here. Next time if you need something, let the little eunuch in the house run errands."

Fourth Master pulled Min Ning out of the yard, and taught her a lesson as he walked.

Minning perfunctory him, "Okay, okay, I'll go back right away."

Fourth Master personally sent her to the carriage.

Zhang Tingyu had just returned from Changchun Garden, and just passed through the Xizhimen carriage to stop, the driver knocked on the door of the carriage and said to Zhang Tingyu, "My lord, there are people blocking from below."

Zhang Tingyu frowned, and then he lifted the curtain and looked down, only to see a young man in green clothes blocking the carriage

"Who are you, and why did you stop the official's carriage?" Zhang Tingyu asked in a deep voice.

As the emperor's favored minister, he was very calm, and it was not once or twice that he blocked the carriage. There were always some people who wanted to know the emperor's recent actions from him.

The young servant bowed directly, "Master Zhang, please tell me something about my master."

Zhang Tingyu was half puzzled, "Who is your master?"

The boy said, "My master Mr. Zhang should know him." He opened one hand and curled up his thumb.

Zhang Tingyu saw that it was not four characters?He immediately got out of the carriage and said to the boy, "Hurry up and lead the way for me."

The servant bowed and stretched out his hand, "Master Zhang please."

Zhang Tingyu followed the boy to a teahouse on the side of the street, went to a box on the third floor, and found that the person sitting in the room was not Sibeile as he had imagined, but a woman.

Then he realized that this person must be the well-known An Fang Fujin.

"I've met Mr. Zhang." Minning got up and saluted.

Zhang Tingyu retreated to the side, lowered his head and said hastily, "I don't dare to accept the great gift from Fang Fujin. I don't know why Fang Fujin came to see me."

Minning opened his hand and asked Zhang Tingyu to sit down.

Sitting opposite her, Zhang Tingyu still didn't dare to raise his head to look at Minning's face. The glance he caught just now made him feel that this An Fang Fujin was really young, not at all like a woman in her twenties. It's no different from a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

Minning beckoned, and immediately someone came over to make tea for Zhang Tingyu, "Master Zhang, I invite you here this time to discuss something with you."

Zhang Tingyu asked quickly, "I don't know what happened to Fang Fujin?"

"I heard that the emperor allowed you to sail and do business alone?"

Zhang Tingyu immediately said: "Speaking of which, this matter is thanks to Fujin, if I hadn't followed your instructions, I wouldn't have gotten this honor."

Minning laughed immediately, "It is said that Mr. Zhang is a sensible person, and it seems to be true."

"Cian Fujin has won the prize." Zhang Tingyu still replied modestly.

"Well, I won't talk to you anymore. You also know that sailing is very profitable. You have the qualifications to do business alone, so there must be no need to be involved in the company opened by the imperial court."

"What does Cian Fujin mean?" Zhang Tingyu doesn't know, so to be honest, the right to do business is a weak point in his opinion. He has never been involved in it, and although he has won this honor, he still doesn't know how to deal with it.

"What I mean is that I will co-host a company with you. I ship and deliver goods. You invest some money, and gather some small officials to invest in this company..."

Zhang Tingyu hissed, and immediately understood the meaning of this side Fujin, who wanted to win the hearts of some small officials in Beijing.

"This..." Zhang Tingyu directly wanted to refuse, and he didn't want to get involved in the fight for the throne at all.

Minning saw what he meant, and opened his hand to prevent him from saying it again, "I'm not in a hurry, you go back and think about it, and ask the boss more." The boss in Minning's mouth refers to Zhang Ying. This time, she not only wanted to take some small officials into her hands, but also wanted to take Zhang Tingyu into her hands.

Zhang Tingyu thought that if he helped her, he would be able to repay the favor?It's late, it's not easy to go down after getting on her boat!

After Zhang Tingyu left the teahouse, Minning looked out the window and saw him getting into the carriage and leaving. She smiled only after the carriage disappeared.

I don't expect to receive the Zhang family at once, I just hope that even if they stand in a neutral position in the seizure of the heirloom, it is enough to lean towards them a little.

Zhang Tingyu looked very solemn after returning home. Zhang Yingzheng was teasing the bird. Ever since he saw that the money from the court was returned, the fourth son’s health has also improved, and his mood has also improved. My favorite hobby is to carry a birdcage and go to the streets like an ordinary old man.

While teasing the bird, he glanced at his son, saw his son's appearance, and asked him, "What's the matter, what happened in Chaozhong?"

Zhang Tingyu shook his head, sat next to Zhang Ying, and then said all the things just now in a low voice.

Zhang Ying is an old man, so he naturally knows that the court, the clan and high-ranking officials will make the most of the profits this time when the court establishes a business. Even the businessmen will accompany them.

It turns out that the four princes aimed at these small officials, and yes, the emperor is still physically strong, and at least he has ten years to live. If this is the case, these small officials should all be promoted after ten years. Maybe there are so few A fish that slipped through the net walked into the court.

Those who are eligible to go to court are at least the third rank, and these people will be the help of the fourth prince at that time.

"Father, what do you think your son should do?" Zhang Tingyu asked Zhang Ying for help.

Zhang Ying snorted, "What else can I do? Didn't they just plan with you? Don't worry about this matter, let's just invest some money and join that company."

"But in this way, won't you be tied to the fourth prince?"

Zhang Ying no longer teased the bird, but turned to look at her stupid son, "You are so stupid, your third brother works under the fourth prince, Jian Fujin, and you are the fourth brother who also lives in the hospital of Jian Fujin. Just being branded as the fourth prince, and now you still want to escape?"

"Father……"

Zhang Ying patted him on the shoulder, then walked out the door carrying the birdcage.

Halfway through the walk, he turned around and said, "By the way, we will follow what that person said. The crown prince looks a little dangerous."

Zhang Tingyu was a little frightened when he heard the news.

Although he knew that the prince's status was unstable, he did not expect to hear such terrifying news from his father.

It seems that there is nothing unusual at present, thinking that when the emperor just returned to Beijing, he recruited his father to talk to him, could it be the words revealed by those emperors?

Zhang Tingyu's head was full of thoughts for a while, and he didn't care about the pressure that the fourth prince Fang Fujin put on him just now.

If the crown prince is defeated, who among the princes is most likely to take the throne?

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Tingyu felt that the possibility of the fourth prince was not impossible. Zhang Tingyu immediately felt relieved. Who wouldn't want Conglong Zhigong?

In the past, he didn't want to get involved in the fight for succession because the situation was unclear and the crown prince's position was very stable, but now that the crown prince was about to fall, Zhang Tingyu was immediately moved since Long Zhigong beckoned.

"Brother, we finally arrived in the capital." After getting off the carriage, the youngest laughed out loud when he saw Huo Ting's mansion in the capital.

After learning that the imperial court was the head of the company to participate in the Eastern trade, all the accounts in the Qing Dynasty got the news and rushed to the capital one after another.

Huo Ting, who was originally in Shengjing, also got the news, and immediately rushed to the capital without staying in a carriage.

Huo Ting got out of the carriage and went directly into the mansion.

Someone in the house is already waiting for him.

"President Huo, it's finally time for you."

"It's raining and snowing again. I thought you'd be at night for a few days."

"Have you received the letter? We have already made up our minds, but you are the backbone."

As soon as he entered the door, someone really wanted to talk to Huo Ting.

Huo Ting stretched out his hand and pressed it. "Everyone, stop for a while. I just returned home. Let me change my clothes first and wait a while."

"No rush, no hurry, I've been waiting for more than ten days anyway, don't rush this moment."

"President Huo, please be busy first, we will wait for you here."

Huo Ting bid farewell to these people and went to the backyard, and took a hot bath quickly to feel the warmth of his numb body.

He put on warm new clothes and thick cotton shoes, and then he returned to the main hall with ease.

As for the third child, Huo Ting directly asked him to eat after taking a bath, don't bother him.

These people in the main hall were all members of the Jiangnan Cloth Merchants Association.

However, Huo Ting's main business has been transferred to Mongolia. The title of president of the chamber of commerce does not match his name, so he wants to step down.

But they were stopped by these people several times. After all, Huo Ting has a wider relationship than them, but he knows Mr. Lin, and he is a good friend with Mr. Lin's younger brother. With this relationship, how could they be willing to break up with Huo Ting.

"Tell me what's going on. I'm in a hurry and I haven't figured it out yet." Huo Ting sat down at the head and took a sip of tea before speaking.

Immediately someone below said eagerly, "This time, the Oriental Trading Company, which is mainly formed by the imperial court, not only recruits the clan and officials, but also allows us businessmen to join."

Huo Ting laughed, "pull us in, don't we ask us to pay, and they benefit?"

Someone immediately shook his head below, "No, no, this time is different from others. The clan members will form a company, the court ministers will form a company, and we businessmen will also form a company. Incorporate courtiers and clan relatives into the company."

Huo Ting laughed, "There are no rules that can stop this." Rules are dead, but people are alive. If he wants to mix in, there are thousands of ways to avoid it. For example, if the clan wants to mix in businessmen The company can definitely send people to join in.

"That's what happened later. This time it's really clean, and the higher-ups are also very strict. Every company has to list who is involved. No one is allowed to fish in troubled waters. Any company that has problems is not allowed to be included in the court. Among the joint companies that host."

"Wait, tell me clearly, what does this company mean?" Huo Ting has heard the names of several companies. Although he has seen them in newspapers, he doesn't understand what this company means.

"The company is that we invest money in partnership with the imperial court to apply for a business license. With this business license, we also need to apply for a tax certificate and a business license. Only with these three certificates can we officially operate. Then we join the imperial court in the name of the company. In the joint company, we hand over the money we raised, and all companies distribute dividends in proportion to the money drawn. According to the above regulations, dividends are generally distributed once a year. After dividends are distributed, they are transferred to the accounts of each company in the bank. After reaching the account, we will divide the money according to the ratio of our respective investment." One of them read out a small book.

When Huo Ting saw it, he asked him to come here. After opening it, he read it from beginning to end, and finally understood.

"It turned out that we were not allowed to operate it, but handed over the money, and the operation was managed by the imperial court."

The people below nodded, "Yes. According to the current situation, the trade in the East will be controlled by the imperial court. If there is a risk, it is much better for someone to share it than for us to go it alone."

What is there to be afraid of in maritime trade, isn't it just that the goods will lose money?

Sometimes, all the savings of the family are invested in it. In this sinking, if all the wealth of the family is lost, the family fortune will be ruined.

There are a lot of people joining this time, even if there is a loss, if everyone shares it, it is only a drop in the bucket, and it will not hurt one's muscles or bones at all.

But if you do the math, the profits you get are definitely not as much as you made by yourself.

However, Jiangnan basically relies on water transport and waterways. Investing money into the maritime trade organized by the imperial court is just another way to make money. You can't make money by hiding the money at home, so you have to spread it out to make money. , This is the truth that every businessman understands.

"What do you mean?" Huo Ting glanced down and asked.

The five or six people below glanced at each other, and then said to Huo Ting, "We plan to set up a company together, only 10 taels, and 2 taels per person is enough. This was just asking for directions. If it's really a big profit Continue to increase."

Anyway, this booklet says that the investment ratio will be adjusted every year, and the upper limit is no more than 100 million taels.

Huo Ting touched his stubbled chin and pondered, "Well, I just came back and I don't know anything. How about I go find out the news and tell you when I come back."

"Okay, okay, then we won't bother you." These people originally wanted to ask Huo Ting to go up there. Is it reliable? Although 2 taels is nothing to these giant businessmen, but It was also silver, and if it was thrown into the water for no reason, it would be as painful as cutting flesh.

The reason why Huo Ting didn't leave Huo Ting aside, but insisted on waiting for him to come back, was because Huo Ting had something to do with the above.

They came here specially for this purpose.

Now that the goal is achieved, I can't wait for Huo Ting to inquire.

After sending people away, Huo Ting came to the small living room next to him, where the third child was already eating a lot.

Huo Ting sat down, and someone brought a bowl of noodles immediately, and he immediately joined the noodle eating team.

"Brother, what are those people looking for you for?" The third child ate five bowls of noodles in one breath, wiped his mouth after feeling full, and asked Huo Ting while drinking some wine.

Huo Ting took a mouthful of noodles, picked up the empty wine glass next to him and raised it to the third child, who immediately poured him a glass too.

Huo Ting took a sip and felt the heat from his throat to his stomach before he said, "What else can I do? I just want to have a relationship."

"They want you to ask Mr. Lin, isn't Mr. Lin still in Shengjing?"

The small living room is next door to the main room, with a wooden door in between. If you are in the main room, you can hear it in the small living room.So the third child heard everything that was said in the house before.

Huo Ting nodded, "Although Mr. Lin didn't see him, he gave me a letter before coming here, allowing me to pay homage to Baylor's residence."

The third child showed surprise on his face, "So the eldest brother will also be a member of the prince's family in the future?"

Huo Ting smiled implicitly.

The third child reacted immediately, and said happily: "His prince's disciple, the elder brother is no ordinary businessman, he is no worse than that imperial merchant." Now how many merchants in the south of the Yangtze River have taken refuge in the prince. That huge wealth is a piece of fat in the eyes of the court. If it is caught by a small tail, it must be chopped off with a single knife.

How many wealthy businessmen can't sleep day and night after earning a huge amount of wealth, isn't it because they are afraid that a knife will be chopped up one day?

Why do some ordinary people know that their wealth is not revealed, but the rich merchants live more extravagantly than the emperor? Isn't it because they may lose their heads one day. Anyway, earning so much money is cheap, and others might as well enjoy it first.

Although it cannot be said to be a talisman to become the disciple of the prince, it is more confident than a businessman with a clean net worth.

It would be even more extraordinary if the prince whom he relied on became prosperous in the future. Looking at the four major families in Jinling, all of them are local emperors.

Jia Yuanchun was sewing a purse at home, the purse was embroidered with patterns, after biting the thread, she admired the purse before calling the maid beside her.

"Where is Baoyu?"

The servant girl replied, "At the old lady's place, Aunt Min sent home letters and New Year's gifts today, and the old lady was carried away by Jia Baoyu."

"Where's your wife?" Jia Yuanchun asked again.

"The madam is also at the old lady's place." Jia Yuanchun suddenly realized that the old lady should be using the gift from Aunt Min to overwhelm his mother.

My uncle's family is not comparable to Uncle Lin's family, and my eldest uncle passed away a few years ago, and the family business was defeated by the eldest uncle, and now it is supported by the second uncle.

The second uncle is an official in another province, and he is not close to his family. His mother is very strong. Over the years, he has often competed with the old lady for power in the mansion, with more victories and fewer defeats. The old lady will inevitably find her mother Poke where it hurts.

You must know that on weekdays, I only see my mother giving gifts to my uncle's family, and the gifts returned by my uncle's family are a bit shabby. On this point, my mother naturally can't hold her head up.

Thinking of this, Jia Yuanchun was afraid that the old lady would embarrass his mother, so he got up and went to the old lady's yard.

In the early years, Jia Yuanchun was also raised by the old lady, but when she grew up and the baby was born, she was moved out and had her own boudoir.

As soon as he entered the old lady's yard, Jia Yuanchun heard talking and laughing inside.

Listen carefully, not only Grandma You next door, but also sister-in-law Li Wan who just started.

Jia Yuanchun felt a little strange. He thought there were only wives and old ladies, but he didn't expect there to be so many people.

After the servant girl reported, Jia Yuanchun walked into the room.

Then I heard Grandma You joking, "Girl Yuanchun is here, where did you hear the news?"

Jia Yuanchun was at a loss, but still saluted everyone.

Then I watched the old lady take out the purse she just made, "I'm looking for Baoyu, I made him a purse to put the jade in."

The old lady took the purse, glanced at the eldest granddaughter with satisfaction, and pulled her to sit beside her, "What a good boy, I still miss my younger brother, but it's a pity that your old lady has delayed it."

Originally, the old lady had already given up on sending Yuan Chun to the palace, and had already told the old concubine of Pingjun Palace to find a good marriage for Yuan Chun.

But I didn't expect that the second child's family would make up their own minds, stuffing money and putting Yuan Chun's name in the primary election.

What a shame!

A big girl who was drafted well was tossed into a dilemma by them. This is sending her child to suffer.

Jia Yuanchun looked puzzled, so he glanced at the others, and Youshi, the daughter-in-law of Jia Zhen in the Ningguo Mansion next door, said, "Yuanchun is a good thing, but your mother entrusted you with the relationship and let you enter the palace."

Jia Yuanchun looked shocked. The old lady had met the princess two years ago, but then it was fruitless. The old lady had already given up, but she didn't expect her mother to not give up.

She understood that her mother had never given up on letting her enter the palace to serve the prince, and then she thought that she did not have the ability to send herself into the palace. After a long time, she must have given up on this idea, but she did not expect that she would actually do it. .

Next year is not a draft year, so if you want to enter the palace, you can only participate in the minor election.

But how can she, a girl who has already participated in the draft, participate in the minor election?Those people who don't know what's going on, don't they think that she wants to enter the palace because of her greed for wealth?

Then Jia Yuanchun's mind was buzzing, remembering that the old lady had leaked to her a few days ago, telling her that she had asked the concubine of the Pingjun Palace to help her talk about a marriage.

One is to enter the palace as a concubine, and the other is to marry an ordinary family as a first wife. These two thoughts have been flashing in Jia Yuanchun's head. She doesn't know which one to choose is the right one.

Mrs. Wang led Jia Yuanchun away. After returning to the house, Jia Yuanchun came to his senses and asked Mrs. Wang anxiously, "Madam, are you really going to send me into the palace?"

Mrs. Wang pulled Jia Yuanchun, "Silly girl, what's wrong with entering the palace to be a master? Look at your Aunt Min, but she married a Tanhua, and the old lady has been holding me down all these years. Your second uncle fought hard, earned some credit, and was promoted to an official position, but in this mansion I still have to look at the face of the old lady."

"But..." Jia Yuanchun wanted to refute. Compared with the uncle in the big house, the old lady still handed over the housekeeping to the wife.

Mrs. Wang gave her a sideways look, "There's nothing wrong with it." Then she nodded her brain to enlighten her, "The prince will be the emperor in the future, do you think it's better to be a concubine, or run the house like a mother all day long?" For business matters, always look at the old lady's face?"

Jia Yuanchun's expression loosened, and Mrs. Wang made persistent efforts: "Think about it, the princess has no heirs now, and the prince is still young. If you can give birth to a brother, then you will be the prince and grandson. With princes and grandchildren, we Jia Your family is relying on you, and your brother and brother are counting on you, so you are not allowed to be stupid."

"But my daughter participated in the small election to enter the palace, and I don't know how other families arrange our family."

Mrs. Wang embraced her daughter's head and leaned on her shoulder, "You silly girl, all the words in this world are said by the winners, and when you become a master, those rumors will naturally dissipate."

Jia Yuanchun lowered his head, blushing on his face, "Then, let the wife decide the daughter."

Mrs. Wang patted her daughter's head with a smile, "Don't worry, the prince is extremely talented and handsome. He is definitely worthy of my Yuanchun."
