This incident was regarded as a joke and soon spread in the noble circle of the capital.

Most of the people who came to Dingbei Hou's Mansion as guests were curious, wanting to meet this rumored Miss Qi who was "rich and noble" and very similar to the deceased Gu Guifei.

However, Miss Qi was busy handling the goods and had no time to meet and greet the ladies of the inner house.

This kind of hands-on style is different from the ladies in the capital who don't touch the spring with their fingers. While the ladies praised them, they had to criticize them in private.

"As the daughter of the boudoir, it is really inappropriate to show up like this without taboo and deal with the shopkeeper of the businessman. ”

"Yes! I lost my father and mother, I was untaught, and I acted in a biased way. ”

In the eyes of the ladies, the daughter of the boudoir should have the appearance of the daughter of the boudoir, and it is the right thing to play the piano, paint, read, and practice calligraphy as a pastime. Even if you want to learn some general affairs, you should also be confined to the inner house. If you want to do something, just send the big girl or steward around you. How can there be a reason for yourself to come forward?

This Miss Qi is too unsophisticated!

Originally, the ladies who heard that Miss Qi was still unmarried and had the idea of getting married, they all retreated.

……

The rumors are rampant, and Miss Qi obviously has no effect.

She temporarily lived in Dingbei Hou Mansion, leaving early and returning late every day, so busy that she had no time to care about these messages.

She rented a rather large inn and placed the goods she brought into the capital.

These goods were brought back from overseas, including extremely precious and rare spices, many rare jewelry, and corals unique to the seabed. There are also novelty seasonings and grain seeds brought from exotic lands.

Merchants in the capital flocked to it and rushed to buy it at a high price.

With the big backer of Dingbei Hou Mansion, no one dares to think about any ghost ideas. The goods brought by Ms. Qi were sold in just a few days.

There are good deeds who privately calculate for this Miss Qi. Not counting the principal, the value of the goods sold these days has been as high as one million taels. If you cut off the capital, you have to earn hundreds of thousands of taels anyway!

Such a capable and capable woman, marrying back as a daughter-in-law is definitely a sure profit!

The real high-ranking family disdains to marry such a daughter-in-law, and the slightly lower family can't help but move their minds. Because Miss Qi lived in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, someone asked the official media to go to Fang's front to listen to the situation.

Fang's refusal should not be: "Miss Qi is my life-saving benefactor, I begged repeatedly, and she was willing to stay in Gu's house for a few days." I'm an outsider, how dare I make decisions for her. ”

Those who came to explore the wind all touched their noses and returned in a huff.

……

"These poor and crazy shabby households, anyone dares to fight with their ideas. ”

In Luo's mansion, Mrs. Luo whispered to her daughter-in-law Yao Ruozhu: "Don't use your brains to think about it, how can Miss Qi marry again." ”

In just one sentence, it is meaningful.

Yao Ruozhu didn't understand, pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "What my mother-in-law said is true." ”

The Luo family and the Gu family are next door, and Mrs. Luo is of course familiar with the "deceased" Gu Guanqi. After seeing this Miss Qi, there were many guesses and doubts in my heart.

However, there are some things that you can see through but can't say that you can't say that you can't say that you can't say that you can't say that Mrs. Luo only showed one or two words in front of her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Luo glanced at Yao Ruozhu and asked with a seemingly casual smile: "You went back to the Hou Mansion a few days ago, and you also saw Miss Qi." In your opinion, Miss Qi is a little similar to the deceased Gu Guifei?"

Yao Ruozhu responded softly: "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare to say anything, there are always five or six points." ”

No one is the same. Five or six points are similar, but it is not particularly rare.

Mrs. Luo's eyes flashed, and she said pointedly: "The Fang family has been depressed for the death of their beloved daughter in the past few years, and now that there is this Miss Qi in front of them, it is also a comfort. It's a pity that Miss Qi refuses to recognize her as her stepmother, otherwise, it will be much easier to move around in the future. ”

Yao Ruozhu smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Qi plans to leave the capital after the New Year. She runs around doing business, and she doesn't live in the capital at all, so she can't move around. At most, when I came to the capital, I borrowed it for a few days in the Hou Mansion. ”

Mrs. Luo nodded: "That's fine." ”

What is good in the end, but I have not elaborated.

Yao Ruozhu didn't ask any more. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted casually for a few words, and then moved away from the topic.

……

Cui Mansion.

Mrs. Cui had no choice but to chant a few times in front of Elder Cui Ge: "This Miss Qi, since she has already come to the capital, why does she refuse to recognize the Fang family as a godfather?

Cui Ge Lao said: "A woman's opinion! Admitting a godfather is too eye-catching, and it is easy to provoke criticism. Isn't that just right now? ”

It can communicate openly and brightly, but it will not fall into the mouth.

"Also, it's a good thing to do business. Such a bright style is completely different from ordinary ladies. ”

It's much better to show up so openly than to hide it.

The more this is the case, the less suspicious others will be.

Mrs. Cui thought about it and had to admit the benefits of doing this: "What the master said is that the concubine thinks too much. Knowing that this could be the case, we should have arranged a way out for Ah Ying that day......"

"Be cautious!" Boss Cui Ge interrupted Mrs. Cui with a face: "Such words will never be allowed to be said in the future." ”

Mrs. Cui also knew that she had lost her words, and immediately responded.

Cui Junying faked her death and left the palace that day, and the Cui family put her clothes in an empty coffin for burial, but secretly sent Cui Junyao away for resettlement. It's Mrs. Cui, and I don't know where Cui Junyao was sent.

In the past few years, Mrs. Cui has been thinking about it from time to time, but she also knows that there will be no chance to see each other in this life.

These days, seeing that Miss Qi is returning to Beijing and living in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, Mrs. Cui's mind can't help but be lively. I couldn't help but say a few tentative words......

"Our Cui family is different from the Gu family. ”

After decades of husband and wife, Cui Ge Lao knew his wife's thoughts very well, and opened his mouth in a low voice: "The Cui family has been loyal to the court for generations. The honor and disgrace are all placed on the Son of Heaven. ”

"And Gu Jiajian is in the emperor's heart, and the saint is very strong. Gu Hai served as the secretary of the ministry and was in charge of the rule of the Great Qin. Inherit the title of Marquis of Dingbei, and then sit in the border army, and the military power is in hand. There is also Queen Gu in the palace, which can be described as prosperous, and the Cui family cannot be compared at all. ”

"What the Gu family can do, our Cui family can't do. Not only can you not do it, but you must forget about it completely and never mention it. ”

Mrs. Cui was full of shame: "What the master said is that the concubine was confused for a while, and she actually had extravagant thoughts." Thinking about seeing Ah Ying again......"

As he spoke, his eyes were already red.

Cui Ge wiped his tears for Mrs. Cui, and his expression was still calm and calm: "Ah Ying has changed her name and surname, married and had children. You will live a stable and happy life in this life. You don't have to worry about it anymore. ”
