At that time, his father did not show any intention of taking the heir, after all, in the eyes of Taizu, he was a dispensable existence, and in the future, he would also be the life of an idle prince.

In this case, whether there is a sister-in-law or not, the impact is really not big.

My grandfather and several uncles thought about it for a long time before nodding and agreeing to this family business.

Who doesn't want their daughter to marry someone who knows how to love her and take care of her, although her father is not favored, she is also a prince, and she has a queen mother in her heart, and it will not be too bad for the two to live behind closed doors in the future.

It's a pity that my grandfather and uncle also had times when they looked away.

The reason why my father wants to marry my mother is because of Cao Guifei!

It's funny.

Although his maternal grandfather's family is not as good as the second grandfather, he is also a fourth-grade member in the court, and he is more than enough than the bottom, and the queen mother married his father, which is really not high, after all, at that time, his father was just a dispensable prince.

But even if it is a dispensable existence, it is not something that Cao Guifei can afford.

Therefore, Cao Guifei can't be a concubine, she can only barely be a concubine, once the queen mother can't give birth to an heir, Cao Guifei's child is recorded in the name of the queen mother, and she is raised as a son-in-law.

What a good calculation.

It's a pity that the sky is not as good as the people.

The queen mother, who was diagnosed by the imperial doctor as difficult to conceive, actually gave birth to his eldest son, which shows how unexpectedly he is!

Although he didn't hear the queen mother mention the events of the year, it was not difficult for Duanmu Jing to guess that his father married the queen mother, in order to show respect for the queen mother, those side concubines and concubines were given "child avoidance soup", and Cao Guifei, who had no fear, was not in a hurry to get pregnant.

Therefore, it is conceivable how "shocked" Cao Guifei and her father were when the queen mother was "unexpectedly" pregnant.

He didn't know if the fall of his mother into the water was a ploy of his father and Cao Guifei.

It's no wonder that he thinks of the two of them so dirty, in the heavenly family, there is only something that cannot be imagined, and there is nothing that cannot be done.

Retracting his sluggish mood, Duanmu Jing said: "This year, the queen mother often gets out of bed and walks around, unlike previous years, when she can only lie in bed in winter. ”

"That's good, you know what you need."

Duanmu Jing nodded unceremoniously.

The body of the queen mother has always been a knot in his heart.

The queen mother is less than forty, she is in the prime of life, and every time she is tormented by illness, he feels really uncomfortable.

For a long time, the queen mother has been living in the palace to worship the Buddha, one is because of the frustration of the father, the mother's family has nothing to help him, in this case, simply let him not be a threat to anyone, and be an idle prince in the future, and secondly, it is because of the mother's physical reasons.

Therefore, Cao Guifei is the only one who is in charge of the phoenix seal.

However, he is not reconciled, what should he do?

If the queen mother's body was calculated by Concubine Cao and his father, how could he be indifferent?

Also, the downfall of my grandfather's family looks like the handiwork of the former emperor, but who knows the truth of the facts?

"The second prince has been in the limelight recently, and according to Duanmu Qing's temperament, it is estimated that he will not be proud for too long." This was said by Gu Jinzhen.

Wei Nanshui added: "The power of the second prince's ancestor is too great, Duanmu Qing will not compete with such a strong force as soon as he comes. ”

"If it's the fourth, the third hasn't figured out his hole cards yet, and he won't be able to do it," Duanmu Jingmo rubbed his jaw and said, "The fourth child's mother family seems to be weaker than the third, but he has a good master." ”

"The master of the Four Princes is very famous in the rivers and lakes, it is said that he is still the junior disciple of the head of the sect, and his status in the sect is very high. Of course, these are not the most important things," Wei Nanshui said here, and laughed mockingly, "The master of the four princes likes to wander the rivers and lakes, and his reputation in the rivers and lakes is very good, and even with the four princes in the rivers and lakes, he has some prestige in the rivers and lakes. ”

"Could it be that the fourth child wants to use these rivers and lakes to usurp the throne?" Duanmu Jing scoffed.

"It's not impossible." Gu Jinzhen's words made Duanmu Jing frown suspiciously.

Gu Jinzhen explained: "None of us know how powerful the rivers and lakes are, don't underestimate this part of the people, the number of people is not necessarily less than the Royal Forest Army, and the force is not inferior to the Royal Forest Army, if they have a heart, whose chair is it, maybe it." ”

Duanmu Jing nodded thoughtfully.

There are many uprisings recorded in the history books, and several dynasties were taken by means of "uprisings", and those who were just some unbearable and oppressed people could not be compared with well-trained people in the rivers and lakes.

Under normal circumstances, these people in the rivers and lakes only ask about the society and the country, and the change of dynasty has little impact on them. It is precisely because of their worldly superiority and their attitude that successive dynasties have allowed their existence, of course, this is only one of them, and the other is to be afraid of their power.

Once some people gather these forces, who knows what will happen?

Duanmu Jing's face was slightly gloomy.

Therefore, several of his brothers are better than the other, and he is really the most unproductive.

"So what do we do now?" Wei Nanshui glanced at Duanmu Jing and said to Gu Jinzhen.

These three, one is more difficult to deal with than the other, and it will take a long time to break them one by one.

"Now, the second prince and the fourth prince are all working against Duanmuqing's forces, let's just wait and see what happens, of course, we can't blindly let Duanmuqing suffer, it's interesting to be evenly matched, so the movement is big."

Sitting on the fisherman's profit or something, is his favorite.

"Duanmu Qing is very cautious, it is not easy to find out his secret forces, and he has many private properties, these are his fundamentals."

"Private property?" Duanmu Jing carefully recalled Gu Jinzhen's words, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean Duanmu Qing raised soldiers in private?" ”

Gu Jinzhen's noncommittal attitude made Duanmu Jing more sure of his guess.

"Any more news?" Wei Nanshui asked.

Gu Jinzhen shook his head regretfully.

He died a little earlier in his previous life, and these were only found to be a symptom, and there was no further progress.

But......

Gu Jinzhen thought optimistically: At least he knows some signs, if he investigates carefully, there is nothing that cannot be found, and it can be regarded as saving a lot of things in the early stage.

"Then we're ...... Or ......" Duanmu Jing asked.

"Let them fight by themselves and reveal Duanmuqing's private property, which will be enough for him to drink a pot."

Raising soldiers is to burn silver, otherwise how could Duanmu Jing hit the Gu family's idea?

As long as Duanmuqing's financial resources are controlled, Duanmuqing's lifeline will be grabbed.

In fact, the business of "Splendid" is not necessarily very good, although it is a high-end route, how many can be worn on the body all year round?

What's more, these face-saving things can only be used when socializing, so how much can be done?

Moreover, the big families have a plan for food and clothing, not every piece of clothing will use top-level Shu brocade, even if the Qiao family is now an imperial businessman, how much share can be sent to the palace?

Because of the infighting of the Qiao family, the originally rare Shu brocade is about to become a rotten street, as long as there is silver, you can buy things, no matter how rare it is, there is no original preciousness, so "Shu Xiulou" and "Jinxiu" look like a cloud, in fact, the silver earned is less than before.

Gu Jinzhen knew that the current "Jinxiu" was no longer the main source of Duanmu Qing's silver.

Some of the industries in Duanmuqing's hands before had developed well and had a certain foundation, and Duanmuqing handed them over to Qiao Laosi.

Qiao Laosi's talent is not good, but it is also from the Qiao family, the vision is there, and the current business is okay, and Duanmuqing's monthly income has increased by one percent.

Don't underestimate this, there are many things that can be done.

Several people discussed specific plans, decided to start after the year, and then dispersed.

Gu Jinzhen and Qiao Yixi arrived at the "Meal World".

The fact that Qiao Lixi is one of the bosses of "Meal World" is still under secrecy, so the two were enthusiastically taken into the upstairs private room by Xiao Er, and then took over the menu in Xiao Er, and Jin Baijin and Yu Rou came.

"What a coincidence, you're also there." Qiao Yixi said.

Jin Baijin walked to Qiao Yixi's side and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea unceremoniously, and poured two sips hard.

It wasn't until he couldn't get enough of it that Yu Rou came over.

Qiao Lixi immediately looked over.

Yu Rou only smiled and did not respond, and Qiao Yixi pouted depressedly.

I don't know how these two people are progressing, looking at the appearance of the fat man, the future is worrying.

In fact, she still likes Yu Rou, this girl has a good temperament, although she is only a businesswoman, but the rules are very good, and she is very capable, and the two shops she runs have a good income, if she can really make a success with the golden fat man, with the ability of these two people alone, I don't know how many times the family property will be multiplied.

"I'll come over today to check the accounts, and by the way, I'll discuss the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the steward."

The medicinal diet of "Diet World" was dominant in the Imperial Dynasty, although it was not miraculous enough to cure the disease, but it was indeed effective in nourishing the body.

This is a long-term process, and it is this trickle of silver that Qiao Yixi earns.

Especially in winter, the ladies who have been in the back house for a long time are most likely to be wrong here and there.

It's good to be cold, don't exercise for a long time, have strict requirements for food, when you're young, it's a little better, you have a good foundation, you can't see any problems, but you can't get older, and the big and small problems come up one after another, which is very torturous.

Therefore, the business of "Meal World" has been very good, especially in winter, and all kinds of warm and nourishing dishes are the favorite of the family.

Now, Qiao Lixi has launched the "Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner", which is a rare concept in the imperial dynasty.

Whose Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is not eaten at their own home?

Even ordinary people, on the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve, will do their best to make a table of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and reunite the family.

But when Qiao Yixi proposed this concept, Jin Baijin thought about it for a while and nodded.
