Chapter 46: Guo Xiang
If Guo Xiang is a man, then she will definitely become the person with high hopes for the entire Guo family, but she is a woman, which has become her sin.
In the eyes of most of the Guo family, since she is a woman, she should stay in the back house in peace, and when she is old, she will be married out by her father and mother, and go in and out of the paper mill all day long, and stay with the workers of the paper mill to study papermaking, what is going on?
If the eldest master of the Guo family is still a little relieved in this matter, and he turns a blind eye to Guo Xiang's study of papermaking, then the heir who passed over from the long house really regards Guo Xiang as a thorn in the flesh.
The eldest man of the Guo family does not value his heir, and he does teach him wholeheartedly, but this heir just failed to understand the matter of papermaking, the same thing, Guo Xiang understood it after listening to it once, and this heir only half understood it after listening to it ten times, which also gave the eldest man of the Guo family a headache.
And that heir, who is ordinary, hates the outstanding Guo Xiang.
It's not hard to imagine what happened next.
Ten years ago, Guo Xiang, who was only seventeen years old, imitated the pine flower paper and created a total of ten colors of note, named "Ten Barbarian Notes", which was a good thing, and it was a great opportunity for the Guo family to change the decline, and even the eldest man of the Guo family was considering whether to recruit a son-in-law for Guo Xiang.
But who knows, Guo Xiang also sent a finished product to Zhiyuan Study, and within a few days, the heir of Guo's family calculated the secret recipe of these ten brute notes, and even bought several workers in the paper mill for this reason.
It's just that these ten brute notes were indeed made by Guo Xiang himself, and the workers in the paper mill didn't know anything at all, so the heir's calculation naturally fell through.
The calculation failed to get his way, and he was also unmasked by Guo Xiang, this heir did not stop doing it, and when Guo Xiang went out to be a guest, he actually bought off a maid next to Guo Xiang, led Guo Xiang to the guest room where there were already people resting, and deliberately took many people to "catch the adulterer".
In front of everyone's eyes, Guo Xiang was covered with a mouth, and it was indescribable.
The final result was that Guo Xiang had to marry in a hurry.
The person she married was carefully selected by her heir, naturally not a wealthy family, and it was just that she couldn't live a good life in her husband's family, and her husband died of illness within a few years, and then he was scolded as a Kefu, and he was kicked out of the house, and he had to return to his parents' house with the white eyes of his brother and sister-in-law......
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a history of bitter tears.
When Yuan Bao said this, he said with some disdain: "The heir of the Guo family's house is really not a particular person, just look at how he calculates the eldest girl of the Guo family, you know how ruthless he is, the eldest master of the Guo family chose such a person to succeed, and he is really blind." ”
After listening to Yuanbao's narration, Ji Qing couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
As a woman, it is much more difficult than a man, and even her own excellence sometimes becomes a sin.
Just like this Guo Xiang.
After sighing, Ji Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.
Xiao Er of Zhiyuan Study said that on the day Guo Xiang sent the first batch of ten finished barbarian notes to Zhiyuan Study, all those notes were bought by An Guogong.
So......
The letterhead paper used in the letter in her hand is not the ten kinds of barbarian notes made by Guo Xiang, I am afraid that only Guo Xiang himself can know.
This matter still needs to be seen by Guo Xiang to know with his own eyes.
If it weren't for that, Ji Qing wouldn't have let Yuanbao inquire so much.
If Ji Qing guessed wrong, it means that she was looking in the wrong direction, but if she guessed correctly......
How could the letterhead paper that was bought by An Guogong appear in the hands of an ordinary old Xiucai, and most importantly, the letter still had his grandfather's handwriting on it.
All of this was so weird that Ji Qing couldn't figure out the reason for it for a while.
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Ji Qing looked at Yuan Bao again: "You have done a good job in this matter, I still have one more thing to hand over to you......
Yuanbao's eyes lit up: "Girl, just give orders!" ”
For Yuanbao, who has followed so many masters, he just wants to stay here in peace and stability now, if he can get some rewards and marry a daughter-in-law, it would be great.
Therefore, no matter what Ji Qing tells him to do, he will do his best to do it.
Ji Qing said: "The person who sold old books in Zhiyuan Study last time, do you remember?" ”
Yuan Bao nodded.
It hadn't happened for a few days, and he had done it, so of course he remembered it clearly.
"You want to inquire about the man's father." Ji Qing paused, and then explained one more sentence, "Remember not to make a noise when you inquire, let alone attract the attention of others." ”
If there is really something wrong with the old Xiucai, if she is not careful, she will not only startle the snake, but also cause trouble for Yuanbao and even herself.
Hearing Ji Qing say this, Yuanbao's expression was also grim, "Girl, remember the little one." ”
Ji Qing nodded and let the ingots go down.
Thinking of his guess, Ji Qing's brows couldn't help but twist.
Although the ingots are clever, there are still too few people in her hands to use, if Lao Xiucai really has any secrets, it would be a little inappropriate to let the ingots check it, and it is best to have someone who is used to doing these things to use.
But......
Where is she going to find such a person?
Just when Ji Qing was embarrassed, Honeysuckle came in to report.
"Master, Lord He has arrived." Honeysuckle Road.
Since Ji Qing moved to Xinghua Hutong, Honeysuckle and Holly have also changed their words, no longer calling He Zhang "Master", but changing to "Lord He".
Congratulations!
Ji Qing's eyes lit up.
She doesn't have any available manpower, but there will be no shortage of manpower for He Zhang, and if she asks He Zhang how many people she can borrow to use, she doesn't know if it's feasible or not.
Ji Qing also knew that He Zhang had helped her too much, and she hadn't been able to repay her yet, but if she wanted to find out the truth that had been hidden for many years, she could only ask He Zhang for help.
This is probably "no itch if there are more lice, and no worry if there are more debts"?
Just when Ji Qing was thinking like this, He Zhang walked in with Honeysuckle.
"Ruyi." He Zhang said.
Ji Qing stood up.
He Zhang was still wearing regular clothes, obviously coming to Xinghua Hutong directly after getting off the government, and he didn't go back to He Mansion to change his clothes.
After looking at him, Ji Qing couldn't help but say, "Lord He, why don't you go back and change into civilian clothes?" ”
He looks like he is wearing a black veil and an official uniform, and he looks really majestic.
In the past, almost all of the congratulatory chapters that Ji Qing saw in the He Mansion were dressed in civilian clothes, but he had almost never seen such a congratulatory zhang.
This at first glance......
It made Ji Qing feel a little weird, Xu is He Zhang's momentum was too strong at this time, and she was a little difficult to look at him directly.
