Zeng Siniang's words made Master Gu even more satisfied, he said: "The eldest daughter-in-law is worthy of being from a famous family, and this insight is far-reaching. You're right, let's have a good discussion about what to do next. I think the first one is to first express to Concubine Li through our family's manpower in the palace that our Gu family will be loyal to her. Burning the cold stove at this time can get the greatest benefit in the future. Not to mention the benefits in the future, at present, the predicament of our Gu family can be solved because of Concubine Li's justice. ”

"Second, I want to ask the eldest daughter-in-law to communicate more with the Duchess of Liguo. You are sisters, and you have been in contact with each other a lot, and others can't say anything. There is a lot of contact with the Duchess of Liguo, and if we have anything, the Duchess of Liguo can also help more, just like this news. If it weren't for the hint of the Duchess of Liguo, we would not have thought of it. Hey, who would have thought that the throne set by the national teacher and the emperor was actually given to the four princes who were still in infancy? ”

Master Gu couldn't help but sigh again.

He continued: "However, eldest daughter-in-law, let me tell you, although you and the Duchess of Liguo are close sisters, but now that you are married, you will have children in the future, and she will not always take care of you. The strongest connection in the world is the connection of interests. People who do business in this world want to become a national teacher industry. The national teacher industry has been the most profitable in the past dynasties. For example, the Shen family before was rich, the first maritime businessman, and the rich rivaled the country. The current Qin Guoshi also has four industries under his command. ”

"These four industries have not been rising for a long time, but in just two years, they have created huge wealth."

"However, not just any family's industry can become a national teacher's industry. In the term of Qin Guoshi, it should be that he will no longer accept the national teacher industry. However, we can't tie up with Qin Guoshi, if we can, Qin Guoshi's sister-in-law is the same. Therefore, I think that I would not only like to give a generous gift to the Duchess of Liguo and thank her for providing us with such important news this time, but I also want to divide some dry shares of the family's property and give it to the Duchess of Liguo. ”

This is a big deal, Zeng Siniang and Gu Chun were surprised.

Zeng Siniang was a little embarrassed: "Father, when my fifth sister got married, it was ten miles of red makeup, and the marriage was very rich, and she was destined to be worry-free, rich and glorious in her life." What's more, now she is the Duchess of Liguo, the sister-in-law of the national teacher, and she doesn't have to worry about money. Can she ask for the dry shares we sent? ”

Master Gu said: "The eldest daughter-in-law is worried. We are not worried that we have nothing to give to the Duchess of Liguo, but that we are worried about whether people will accept it. This matter, we will slowly think about it in the future, anyway, the eldest daughter-in-law, you have to work hard. ”

Zeng Siniang could only reluctantly agree.

Then, Master Gu discussed with Gu Chun in detail.

As soon as Mrs. Zeng Si and Mrs. Gu saw these business matters, they couldn't take care of too much, so they walked away. Zeng Siniang wanted to go back to her room to see the child, and Mrs. Gu wanted to enter the treasury to choose some things to reward for the eldest daughter-in-law.

Zeng Siniang returned to the room, looked at the child, and changed into homely clothes. At this time, Bingmei, the personal maid, came in and said, "Young lady, when you are not at home, the second young lady is making trouble again." I told her about your trip to the Liguo Mansion today. also knew that the gift list was valuable, and immediately became unhappy, saying that when her sixth sister married Master Fang, she would also go to visit the sixth sister, hoping that the old lady would also prepare expensive gifts for her. ”

Zeng Siniang was annoyed: "It's really shameless." My fifth sister married into the Qin family, she was the serious hostess of the Qin family, the Duchess of Liguo, and a serious relative of our Gu family. However, the sixth sister of the second brother and sister is married to Lord He as a concubine, can the concubine's relatives be considered serious relatives? I want to see, that is, I have prepared a heavy gift for her, she will go to He's house, can Mrs. He visit a concubine for her? Whether or not she recognizes her sister as a concubine as a relative. ”

Bingmei looked disdainful and said, "Isn't that the reason? The old lady rejected her in the same way. However, the second young lady said that now the family's business is difficult, and the relationship in the palace has not been good. Since the old lady and the old man let the eldest and young lady go to the Qin family to go to the door, why can't they let her go to He family to try? Although her sixth sister is a concubine, she is deeply loved by Lord He, and if the sixth sister of the second young lady says good things in front of Lord He, King Jin will have a good impression of our Gu family, and the virtuous concubine in the palace will not be so demanding of our Gu family. Isn't the business problem of our Gu family also solved? ”

Zeng Siniang sneered: "Dreaming? Lord He's greedy reputation, who doesn't know in the capital in the past few years? He is only a second-class official now. If you really enter the cabinet and become the prime minister in the future, I am afraid that no one in the world will have a way to live. The second brother and sister don't know where the confidence comes from, her sister who is a concubine can influence Lord He, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and Concubine Xian? ”

Bingmei didn't say anything.

Zeng Siniang became more and more upset the more she thought about it, no, this matter can't just be said in the inner house. This time, the old lady rejected the second brother and sister, what if the next time, the second brother and sister said that the old lady was moved? Stepping on two boats is a taboo in officialdom. Since the Gu family has decided to follow the line of the Qin family, the national teacher, the King of Qin, and Concubine Li, they can't have entanglements with the Xianfei Niangniang family, otherwise, if the two ends don't fall well, the entire Gu family will be unlucky in the end.

Zeng Siniang originally wanted to go to her mother-in-law's upper room again, but she thought that she had just come back from there, and besides, her mother-in-law had already rejected her second brother and sister, and she would go over again, didn't she say that she didn't trust her mother-in-law, she wouldn't do such an unwise behavior.

Zeng Siniang thought about it, so she could only tell her husband about it first, and then her husband would tell the master and his wife.

Zeng Siniang waited anxiously until dinner, and Gu Chun did not come back.

Zeng Siniang asked someone to set the meal, and talked to Gu Chun at the same time: "Xianggong, why did you come back so late?" ”

Gu Chun said: "Hey, it's not that my father wants me to think with him about giving it to Concubine Li and your fifth sister, what gift does Qin Guoshi have?" This time, we can't just give ordinary gifts, this time since our Gu family wants to be sincere, we must have some sincerity. ”

Zeng Siniang said: "This is. Actually, although this thing is important, but the concubine Liniang is a favorite in the palace, the king of Jin, the Qin family, and the national teacher are all wealthy, what good things haven't you seen? It's not bad for us to have a thing, if you want me to say, how is the thing or secondary, the most important thing is sincerity. ”

Gu Chun is a shrewd person, as soon as he heard it, he knew that his wife had something to say, so he couldn't help but stop to eat and ask his wife: "What do you mean by this?" ”
