Chapter 232 Duke Min’s plan
Let’s just say this female shopkeeper looks familiar!
She is actually a first-class maid next to the imperial concubine? !
That is more valuable than the head mistress of an ordinary family!
No wonder she has such a graceful appearance and can make people feel comfortable...
Are today's Emperor Tianwu and the Crown Prince so picky?
You don’t even want to stay in the palace?
Or have all the palace servants been released to become female shopkeepers? !
Mrs. Min Guogong pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't show any signs of expression: "It turns out she is a female official, but I am blind."
Yunque also pursed her lips and smiled: "The slave is just a servant, how can I be a female official?"
The previous dynasties were all destroyed.
Even though I used to have the salary of a female official, I no longer have it.
I and my sisters can save a life, and Emperor Tianwu and the Crown Prince can also give everyone a way out. I don’t know how many people are grateful.
Mrs. Min Guogong thought for a while, took a post from her mother and handed it over.
"We want to hold a plum blossom appreciation party at our house. I heard that the boss of Liulicang is also a girl in her prime."
"I wonder if the shopkeeper can help me forward this post to your boss?"
Yunque was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and took the post from Mrs. Min Guo with both hands.
"Our big boss may not have time to come to Liulifang, but I will definitely try my best to deliver the message."
Mrs. Min Guogong nodded and looked around the various crystal-clear colored glazes in the colored glaze.
Every set here is exquisite and looks priceless.
However, their prices are not high. A set of six such exquisite ice and snow glass cups only costs a few hundred taels...
"The big boss has opened four shops in a row in the past few days, and each business is getting better and better. This is also the blessing of the Tianwu Imperial Court."
"It is impossible for ordinary people to do business with the imperial court."
"I admire this big boss very much, so I would like to take the opportunity to make acquaintance with him."
Yunque nodded with a smile: "The slave family must bring the message to..."
When Xiao Yingchun got the post, he was a little confused.
She looked at Fu Chenan: What do you mean?
Fu Chenan looked solemn. He waved to his personal guards and asked them to go down and investigate.
A moment later, the news brought back by the guards made Fu Chenan laugh angrily.
Xiao Yingchun was also stunned.
It turns out that Duke Min Guo once sent a girl as a concubine in the previous dynasty, and was later named a jade concubine.
This jade concubine had snow-white skin and was very good at acting coquettishly, so she was loved by the late emperor.
The government of Min State took this opportunity to obtain the management rights of the only salt mine in Daliang at that time.
Later, the salt mines were controlled by Min Guogong, and all the salt in the Liang Dynasty was supplied from the salt fields in Min Guogong's hands.
This privilege allowed Min Guo Gongfu to make a lot of money.
I thought that this prosperity and wealth would continue like this, but who knew that Fu Zhonghai would usurp the throne and change the dynasty?
Moreover, the late emperor was cruel and even killed all his concubines before his death.
I had obtained a salt mine before, how could I be willing to give it up?
So Duke Min's Mansion prepared to repeat the same trick and sent the third lady in the mansion and a beautiful cousin to the palace.
Xiao Yingchun looked at Fu Chenan blankly: "My love rival has appeared?" Or are they two at once?
Fu Chenan twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a silly smile: "Not necessarily, what if it is for my father?"
Xiao Yingchun was caught off guard: "Cough cough cough cough..."
So maybe the stepmother?
Let’s get back to the topic: “Should I go to this plum blossom appreciation party or not?”
Fu Chenan didn't care: "If you're curious, you can go and have a look. If you don't want to go, just pretend this post doesn't exist."
"Anyway, I only want you, and I won't marry any other woman." My biological father will definitely support his decision.
After thinking about it, Xiao Yingchun nodded: "I want to see what the daily life of women in this era is like."
Fu Chenan immediately turned to look at the guards: "Go and ask Mrs. Ningyuan Hou if she is going?"
"If she doesn't have a post, let Mrs. Min Guo Gong give her a post." The guard rushed over and replied after a while: "Mrs. Ningyuan Hou also received the post."
However, Mrs. Ningyuan Hou has been a widow for many years and is not very sociable. She always rejects posts like this upon receiving them.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything. Since Fu Chenan wanted her to protect Xiao Yingchun, she would naturally go.
Fu Chenan felt relieved: "I asked Mrs. Ningyuan Hou to protect you. When that day comes, just follow her."
"I know." This time Xiao Yingchun was obedient.
Fu Chenan couldn't stand her obedient appearance, so he pulled her into his arms and pecked her on the lips as fast as lightning.
Xiao Yingchun:! ! !
Fu Chen held her in his arms contentedly, sighing while calming his thundering heartbeat.
"When will Yingying marry me? I can't wait!"
Xiao Yingchun was stunned for a moment, but did not answer.
If she married into this dynasty and had to face so many women coveting her own man, she would rather be single.
That's fine as it is.
Forget about three wives and four concubines vying for favor and supremacy.
Fu Chenan thought she was shy, so he lowered his head and kissed the hair on the top of her head, and then "comforted" Xiao Yingchun.
"Just wait, Yingchun Academy is stepping up its construction and will be open to the public soon."
"When the time comes that I say I want to marry you, they won't dare to say anything."
Xiao Yingchun thought for a while and changed the subject: "Since we are talking about salt mines, do we need to get some salt?"
The salt over there is so cheap. It’s delivered by the ton without any pressure at all.
Fu Chenan laughed: "I originally wanted to discuss it with you in the next few days, but I didn't expect that Duke Min Guo's mansion would take the initiative..."
It would be impolite not to kill the fat chicken that is delivered to your door.
Little did he know that as soon as Mrs. Min Guogong returned home, she was scolded by Min Guogong Lang Shiming.
"If you want to send your daughter to the palace, send your daughter to the palace. Why are you teasing Miss Xiao?"
"She is now the most beloved person of the prince. When the two of them go out, they walk together, and when they go in, they sleep together..."
Mrs. Min Guogong was frightened by these words, and interrupted Min Guogong without caring about the rules.
"What did you say? They are already in the same room?"
"..." Duke Min was so angry that he forgot all the rest of his words!
After a pause, Min Guogong glared at his wife fiercely: "Even if we don't have a roommate, Miss Xiao's bedroom is placed next to the East Palace."
"Is there any difference between people living in the same room but in different rooms?"
"Now that the emperor is in his prime, the throne and the fourth concubine's position are all vacant. If two children enter the palace to compete for power..."
Give birth to a prince and raise him... I don’t know who will be able to sit in that position in the future!
Can a son born in his own family be the same as a son-in-law born in someone else’s family? !
After hearing this, Mrs. Min Guogong immediately felt that it made sense and regretted it.
"Then what should I do? The posts have all been downloaded..."
Duke Min Guo thought about it for a while, but then smiled proudly: "If it's done, it's done."
"The prince is already twenty-three, but he is not yet married. He is obviously not willing to settle for anything less."
"If this Miss Xiao..." is not clear, the prince will definitely not want it again.
These days, it’s so easy to ruin a woman’s reputation!
Gong Min Guo thought of the four shops whose business has been booming recently and made people jealous, and his heart suddenly moved: "Where is Shun'er? Ask him to come over, I have some instructions."
Lang Yongshun is the second son of Duke Min. He used to be good buddies with Ao Guangchun, the Marquis of Ningyuan, who ate, drank and had fun together. The two of them had one thing in common: they were not doing their jobs properly.
But Lang Yongshun is obedient. Apart from failing to study, he likes to have fun and does whatever his parents ask him to do.
Lang Yongshun had been married for two years, but the wife he married was infertile. Upon examination, it turned out that she was physically ill and infertile.
Although there was nothing wrong with his wife, Lang Yongshun divorced her obediently.
Duke Min and his wife were thinking of remarrying him.
If she could marry that girl Xiao... Mrs. Min Guogong would also be moved.
