Li Xianhuai immediately said: "the ancestors of the Ji family started their business by selling tea. In their grandfather's generation, he became the deputy envoy of the Salt Department, and he became rich from then on. Not many people in the Ji family were in the official position, and they had a donated mansion. I know the same thing. But they have been imperial merchants for several generations, trading north and south through the Tongzhou Canal, and their wealth is really scary. Their wife is now at the helm. I think she is a smart one. At this age, the family does not take the lead in everything, but does more and more. The bigger"
"This Ji Yao is quite a figure, but he is dragged down by his wealth. He and his old lady are secretly at odds with each other, and he secretly does many things that the old lady doesn't know about." After saying this, Li Xianhuai laughed twice. "Sir, do you still remember the Luo family of the Imperial Shang family? Their eldest son, Luo Tai. You once saw him in Liuhe Restaurant, the one you poured tea all over him?"
Ye Xian thought for a while. When he was ten years old and had just returned to Yanjing for a year, he went out to play with his cousin from the Gao family and sat in Liuhe Restaurant. There was a young man with a delicate appearance and a thin body who had a dispute with his cousin over a trivial matter. He thought the man was too noisy and poured a cup of scalding hot tea on him. The young man was so burned that he screamed and threatened that he would not be able to leave the restaurant. The guard behind them pointed at Ye Xian and said to him: "This is the Crown Prince of Changxing." Then he pointed to his cousin: "The eldest grandson of Master Gao, the Minister of Rites."
The young man who claimed to be Luo Tai, the eldest son of Luo, was immediately speechless. He was looked at coldly by the guards and was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"Something like a clown." Ye Xian didn't care, "What does it have to do with cousin Gu Jinchao?"
Li Xianhuai replied: "The old lady in their family must not know that this young master Ji has always been in contact with Luo Tai. The old lady is an upright businessman and never deprives her subordinates or makes unconscionable money. This Luo family is just the opposite. The old lady hates them to the extreme. She has never wanted anyone in the family to interact with the Luo family However, Master Ji met Luo Tai during a flower viewing party, and he kept interacting with Luo Tai against the old lady's wishes."
Ye Xian looked at Li Xianhuai: "you pick the key points."
Li Xianhuai scratched his head: "When I went to inquire, the attendant of Luo Tai of their Luo family said a lot. I want to make it clear to you It doesn't matter that he has contacts with Luo Tai. What kind of person is Luo Tai? Forget about fighting eagles, I often go to places like Goulan Jiaotang, how can I not take this Young Master Ji with me But this Young Master Ji is not really addicted to this, he just goes with him once or twice and then goes away. went."
He lowered his voice: "Jiyao only ordered geishas to keep him company, and he kept himself clean But Luo Tai had a lot of thoughts, and he had long thought about dragging Jiyao into the water. Just put something in Jiyao's wine, and Ji Yao took it The geisha who was only fourteen years old became unmarried. After that, Ji Yao stopped interacting with Mr. Luo, but he didn't know that the geisha became pregnant because of this. Luo Tai found a yard to raise her, and planned to use the child to control her in the future. Ji Yao"
Ye Xian's eyelids jumped when he heard this. People always have troubles when they are young, so it doesn't matter if he didn't make a big mistake But this Ji Yao is really not smart either. Even if his love breaks his body, how can he dare to leave his child for others to manipulate? What would Gu Jinchao do if he knew about the existence of this child in the future? If such a person marries Gu Jinchao, will she be able to live well in the future?
Ye Xian took a deep breath: "Are all the things you asked about true?"
Li Xianhuai glanced at the prince. This was the first time he asked himself such a question. Li Xianhuai looked arrogant, and he knew better than anyone else that the prince was so concerned with Miss Gu's affairs that he had even rushed to see her. It would have been impossible if he didn't have some thoughts in his heart.
He thought for a while and said: "I bribed Luo Tai's attendant to inquire. Maybe what this attendant said is not entirely correct"
Ye Xian immediately said: "There is no smoke without fire. Find this geisha and let her confront the Ji family in private." This matter cannot be spread out in a big way. "It must be done in private to see how the Ji family reacts to this child." , then you will know the truth or falsehood." Not only can he know the truth of this matter, but he can also know the attitude of the Ji family towards Gu Jinchao. If they dared to hide this matter regardless of anything and pretended that they had done nothing to marry Gu Jinchao, it would be fine if Gu Jinchao of the Ji family didn't marry him.
Ye Xian thought for a while and said, "It's almost the twelfth lunar month, and I haven't seen my eldest sister for a long time. You have prepared something for me, and we will visit the Gu family tomorrow."
This matter must be made clear to Gu Jinchao, he cannot let her trust someone else.
Ye Xian felt a little hesitant. If Gu Jinchao didn't marry Ji Yao, with her reputation, who could she marry from a good family?
Judging from the current situation, this Ji family can be glorious for at most twenty years. Unless it declines midway, it will definitely be suppressed. It is not good for the court if the power of officials and businessmen grows. So the Luo family is at Grandpa¡¯s place.Rapid decline after ?? is actually a good way to preserve oneself. The old lady of the Ji family is smart and knows how to keep her wealth secret, but if the Ji family continues to do this, something will happen sooner or later.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the old lady is a little unclear as to why. After all, her vision is not broad enough.
As for the Gu family in Daxing, Mrs. Feng has been frequently talking to Jin Chao in the past few days, and her words indicate that the matter has been decided: "seeing that if you get engaged to the second master Ji, you will get married in May. Grandma, please talk to you more at this time, so that I won't panic after you get married. If you have any shortcomings in your dowry, you can tell my old lady and I will give you more."
Feng Shi told Jin Chao with a smile. Gu Dezhao's share of the property proceeds went to the Gu family, and the Gu family became much richer. She was afraid that Gu Jinchao's mother would die early and the dowry would not be arranged properly. She would not look good when she got married, and it would not be the Gu family's face that would be disgraced.
Gu Jinchao smiled: "Grandma, don't worry about this, I have nothing to offer." Feng seemed to have already made plans to settle the matter, which made Gu Jinchao unable to say anything he wanted to say. She knew that she should succumb to reality and marry Ji Yao. But there was still a knot in her heart that she couldn't get rid of.
Miss Yongyang Bosi smiled at her, her child's face, and Ji Yao's indifferent eyes. These are all lingering.
However, Feng suddenly asked about her mother's dowry, which made Gu Jinchao feel nervous.
It would be better if she didn't ask for it. When she gets married, the dowry will go directly out of the Gu family. But if Ms. Feng asked, her mother would have left quite a lot of dowry. When she gets married, does Feng not ask for the dowry?
This was a subtle reminder to her that her dowry was for Mrs. Feng¡¯s purpose.
Jin Chao immediately smiled: "I originally planned to leave half of mother's dowry to Jin Rong. If the matter is settled, I will show you the brochure." She came to show it to Feng, which is better than Feng's. It¡¯s better to think of something that you have and don¡¯t have.
Feng Shi hummed. Ji is the daughter of the Ji family in Tongzhou, so how can the dowry not be generous? Although Gu Jinchao's food and clothing expenses were not conspicuous on weekdays, there were more maids and women around her than other concubines, and no one was seen to be poorly fed or clothed. It can be seen that her mother's dowry was rich, but Feng didn't know how much it was.
Gu Jinchao then resigned and returned to Yanxiu Hall, and said to Tong's mother: "In my private treasury, mother's dowry has been counted before. You count it again and put it in the book. Mother's dowry is divided into two and is to be given to Brother Rong. I want you to stay." She thought for a while and said, "The accounts of Jinyin Tower are not included in this."
There is a large amount of silver circulating in the books of Jinyinlou. She will give this part of the money to Brother Rong in the future. He is still young now.
Mother Tong agreed and took the literate Caifu and Baiyun to inventory things.
Not long after Jin Chao sat down, a little girl came over and told him that the Crown Prince of Changxing had come to visit and went to the fifth lady's yard.
He said he would come over in the twelfth lunar month, Gu Jinchao remembered. But at the end of the year, it¡¯s a busy time.
He should be here to see the Fifth Madam. The Fifth Madam¡¯s child will be born in three months.
Gu Jinchao sent the little girl down. When she had nothing to do, she made a small coat for the fifth wife's unborn child. She sat next to the stove, with needlework placed on the big kang. Qingpu helped her with the threads and embroidered the pattern of five bats offering birthdays. The bats had small stripes on their tails, which looked very cute.
After a while, Yuzhu sneaked in.
"Miss, the prince said he has something to say to you. He has sent a servant outside the back room in the West Cross Courtyard to convey the message"
Gu Jinchao put down the knot in his hand and frowned: "What can he do for this?"
Originally, it was okay to come to see her secretly. After all, it was for his father's sake. Now that she was about to get engaged, she couldn't see him in private.
Yuzhu said again: "The prince said that he told the fifth lady that he wanted to ask you about raising orchids, so don't be afraid."
Gu Jinchao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he changed his clothes and went to sit down in a room in the West Cross Courtyard.
Ye Xian was standing under the veranda hung with ice edges, looking at the light snow falling outside. Gu Jinchao appeared from afar, walking slowly and wearing a cloak.
She brought Qingpu, a girl who often followed her.
Gu Jinchao walked to the verandah and Qingpu closed his umbrella.
She saluted Ye Xian and said hello without even taking off her hood.
Ye Xian looked at her for a long time with his hands behind his back. It's snowing outside and the world is extremely quiet.
He didn¡¯t speak, but suddenly reached out to help her take off her hood. Gu Jinchao was caught off guard and looked at Ye Xian blankly. What is he doing?
Ye Xian paused and said, "Your cloak doesn't fit, and the hood is so big, I can't see your eyes." Before Gu Jinchao could say anything, he immediately said, "I heard that you are getting engaged to Ji Yao?"
He is tall, so of course he cannot be seen clearly. Gu Jinchao cursed, but how did he know that he was getting engaged to Ji Yao? Could it be that he came to him for the purpose of getting engaged? It was none of his business! Gu Jinchao asked, "Why does my cousin ask this?"
Ye Xian felt that Gu Jinchao had no intention of being unwilling, but she was very calm, as if she was not the one who wanted to get engaged. He paused and said: "I said I owe you a favor, and now I want to make it clear to you. Let's postpone the engagement for the time being. You may not know what Ji Yao did, so let's find out first. To prevent you from suffering after you get married." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Are you engaged to Ji Yao? "
