Chapter 294: The House of the First Good

"I see." Chen Ying nodded, his expression extremely calm.

It was one of the scenarios she had envisioned.

She knew that Jiao Xing's death must be related to Xingji Bo Shizi and his wife.

It's just that even if someone witnesses Jiao Xing being carried out, it can't be asserted that it is one of the Xingji Bo Shizi and his wife who killed her.

Even if the person who revealed the information is willing to testify, this testimony will be easily refuted.

However, Guo Wan's news was still very useful, Chen Ying smiled at her, and said sincerely: "Thank you so much, you have helped me a lot." ”

Guo Wan waved her hand and said: "It's just a little thing, the eyes of the people in this house are all like copper coins, it is not difficult to inquire about the news, and I have someone who can be used." ”

She turned around and pointed to the housekeeper surnamed Sima, covered her lips and smiled: "It's really right to invite her here, my silver is not in vain." ”

Looking at her smile, Chen Ying was not unadmirable in her heart.

A person who has brains, is willing to put in the blood, and knows how to make trade-offs, no matter what she wants to do, she can always succeed.

"Have you already arranged the rest of the matter?" Thinking of Guo Wan's future whereabouts, Chen Ying couldn't help but ask more.

Although she knew that this was also a vain question, Guo Wan must have arranged everything a long time ago, but she still couldn't help but want to ask.

When Guo Wan heard this, she stared at Chen Ying's eyes, and added a little softness, and said slowly: "Thank you for your concern, the rest of the matter has been arranged, if nothing else, it will be revealed in these few days." ”

"So fast?" Chen Ying said in surprise, and then became more and more worried: "'His' parents, do you agree?" ”

"His" parents naturally refer to the emperor and queen.

Will they agree that the prince will be with Guo Wan?

Guo Wan's identity has always been a big obstacle between her and the prince.

Guo Wan didn't care, raised her hand and brushed her sideburns, and smiled: "Actually...... I'm still finished. ”

Chen Ying was shocked by her words.

Unexpectedly, Guo Wan would reveal such a secret.

Is she still a virgin?

However, on second thought, it is also possible.

That Qiu Shilang fainted before he even finished the cave room, and has been seriously ill in bed since then, Guo Wan is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to have sex with him at all.

"I'm from a low background, but it's a good thing." Guo Wan spoke again, her expression calm.

Chen Ying understood her words.

Throughout the dynasties, in order to prevent foreign relatives from being powerful, there are many concubines in the palace, which is an unwritten convention, and this is the case with Queen Situ and Empress Dowager Xiao.

Although Guo Wan is the daughter of Bofu, her biological mother is a merchant, and her biological father is also an attached horse with no real power.

I hope that Emperor Yuan Jia can look at this advantage of Guo Wan and allow her to live in the East Palace.

Although she thought so, Chen Ying was still worried about her.

This matter is too difficult, and it cannot be solved by asking for it and kneeling down.

There has to be a big turnaround.

Chen Ying has tried to simulate several scenarios, but each one has a great deal of chance, and there is no way to win with one blow.

At this point, Chen Ying stopped thinking about it.

This matter should be grinding for a while longer, and it is impossible to solve it in the short term, and Guo Wan's so-called "recent days" should also be a vague concept, not a real reference.

However, things turned out far beyond her expectations.

Not long after the flower banquet in Xingjibo's mansion, a shocking news smashed into the aristocratic circle of the capital, which caused a thousand huge waves.

In order to help the large number of displaced victims, Han Duanli, a wealthy merchant in Dengzhou, generously donated a full 500,000 taels of silver to the imperial court to help the imperial court purchase fertile land, build houses, distribute clothes and so on.

As soon as this incident came out, the whole country was shocked.

500,000 taels of silver, almost equivalent to one-third of the taxes of the Great Chu Dynasty back then.

Such a good deed, why shouldn't it be written about?

This incident directly shook the emperor of the dynasty, and His Majesty issued a special decree to allow Han Duanli to enter the Beijing face saint, and handwritten the plaque of "The First Good Home" to this good man.

At the same time, Emperor Yuanjia quickly issued a decree to give Guo Wan, the granddaughter of Han Duanli and the eldest daughter of Xingjibofu, as the crown prince's son.

When the news came out, the entire aristocratic circle in the capital almost exploded, and everyone was asking where Guo Wan was sacred in those days.

When Chen Ying heard about this, she was doing her daily homework - practicing big characters.

On the side of Zhishi's book, with a shocked tone that was rare for her, she repeated the whole thing from beginning to end, and the eyes of the truth-seeking people on the side listened to it straight.

That Fourth Grandma Qiu is a widow.

Who would have thought that she would be able to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, which is too surprising.

Even though he had seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince send Guo Wan home in a long time, the news was still too shocking, and no one could help but be speechless.

After listening to the truthful narration, Chen Ying's writing hand also stopped in mid-air.

Then, she focused on the big words in front of her.

Seeing this, neither the truth-seeking nor the truth-seeking dared to make a silent sound, and stood silently on the side.

About half a moment later, when the last big character was finished, Chen Ying put the pen on the shelf, nodded and sighed: "It turns out that her arrangement is like this." ”

What an unexpected move.

It's so subtle that it's amazing.

With Han Duanli's good deeds, Guo Wan's identity will not only not become a reason for people to criticize, but will make people praise the Great Chu royal family.

In order to reward the merchants who contributed to the country, the emperor was willing to let his widow's granddaughter become the concubine of the crown prince, which was exactly the emperor's benevolent and generous treatment of meritorious heroes, and he would rather wronged his son than be sad for the good people who cared about state affairs.

Such an emperor, what is it if he is not a Ming monarch?

No wonder Guo Wan is so confident, it turns out that she has already made the most appropriate arrangements.

Naturally, Han Duanli's cooperation is also very timely, and it is conceivable that he has high hopes for this granddaughter.

Looking back at this time, Chen Ying finally understood that there was a reason why this old lady Han was able to become the richest man in Shandong. His vision and means are much higher than those of ordinary businessmen, and he can be called a leader.

"The girl doesn't know yet, but this matter is not over yet." Zhishi said again at this time.

Chen Ying was taken aback by what she said, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that there is still a change?" ”

As the saying goes, "the power of heaven is unpredictable", she is afraid that Emperor Yuan Jia will change his mind.

This emperor is pragmatic, he doesn't care about the face of the so-called king at all, and he may really be able to do such a thing as taking back his fate.

Knowing the truth, he hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Don't worry, girl, it's not that there is something wrong, it's a new thing in Xingjibo Mansion." ”
