Chapter 367: Out in the open
The woman in the front was dressed in a red riding suit, looking heroic, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath.
Everyone felt that the eldest princess had changed. Ever since Mr. He and Mrs. He passed away, her aura had become increasingly cold.
For a whole month, everyone in the capital knew that Dongli was a bad person. Not only did he harm others, he also wanted to harm the new emperor.
Everyone also knew that when the eldest princess returned to the capital, Nan Xu would probably start the first war.
The revenge for the murder of his father and mother must be repaid with blood.
Looking at their backs, those who had some thoughts in their minds lowered their heads and hurried home, hoping that it was not too late.
The new emperor felt nervous when he saw the eldest princess, who was covered in dust and had a murderous aura.
"Did you have a smooth journey? I'm sure the eldest princess must be tired. Go wash up first. I'll wait for you here."
Xia Yining drank a sip of tea, shook his head and said, "No need. What do you think of sending troops to Dongli at this time?"
"Wait a little longer. The people from the Northern Dynasty and Western Shu haven't left yet. The empress wants to meet you in person to make sure you are safe before setting off again.
As for Xishu, many people have come to the palace in recent days, and they have all been talking about forming a marriage alliance with Nanxu, especially you, the eldest princess.
What do you think?
Hearing this, she thought of her good friend and a smile appeared on her face. She obviously didn't expect that the Empress and Yu'er were still waiting for her.
“After we leave the palace, I will invite them to have dinner at the Left Prime Minister’s residence, which will be considered as putting it into practice.
As for...”
Thinking of that group of people in Western Shu, especially those princes who were like peacocks, made her very impatient.
"Tell them to get out of here right away, or I will attack Xishu after I defeat Dongli, and directly merge them."
New Emperor:!!!
Awesome, you are worthy of being my idol, woooooo~~~
What should I do? I really want Xishu to commit more suicide. It would be great if I could just defeat him.
Thinking carefully, Nanxu is not completely stable yet, and now is not the right time to attack the two countries. I can only suppress the thoughts in my mind.
I sent someone to deliver the message to Xishu Inn as soon as possible.
Xia Yining did not wash up in the palace. Instead, after leaving the palace, she went to the inn to meet the Northern Dynasty Empress and Zhen Yuer in person.
When the two of them looked at her, their eyes turned red. They had known Ning'er for so long, but had never seen her so embarrassed.
The Northern Dynasty Empress stepped forward and put her arm around her shoulders, saying seriously, "Don't torture yourself, or the two elders will be heartbroken if they know.
Look at this tired little face, eh~~~ it makes people feel uncomfortable. "
Zhen Yuer, who was standing by, stopped making a fuss and took a step forward, looking at her worriedly.
"Isn't it? You've worked really hard during this period. Ning'er, you must take care of yourself."
Xia Yining:...
I touched my face and found that it was impossible to become ugly, I just lost some weight.
The words of the person in front of me were too exaggerated, and I thought she was in a very tragic situation, but in fact, she wasn't.
"Okay, I'll keep your words in mind.
Have your meal in the mansion today. I believe you will set off back to the Northern Dynasty soon.
Let's talk about jade by the way, and ask someone to add the Gu family members later."
When the group returned to the mansion, Mrs. Xia came to greet them. She felt bad to see that her capable sister-in-law had lost so much weight in such a short time.
"Ning'er, the water for washing is ready. Just clean up and come out for dinner."
"Well, thank you, sister-in-law. Ning'er will go back to the courtyard first. Please entertain them."
"Hey~~~ Go ahead, leave this to me, don't worry."
After returning to the Glazed Pavilion, she waved her hand and the seven Dharma protectors came out of the space. Due to family matters, they had been staying inside during this period of time.
Now that they can come out and take a breath, the three tigers are naturally happy.
But they have not forgotten the two people who committed suicide for love, and now they are not as lively as before, but just lying obediently on the chairs.
The saddest one was Xiao Zi. Mrs. He was very kind to her when she was alive and raised her like her own daughter.
But at the last moment, her life really came to an end, and even if she was covered in treasures, she couldn't be saved.
During this period of time, she had been crying secretly, not daring to let Sister Ning'er see it, otherwise it would make her sad again.
Sitting aside and drinking tea obediently, when I picked up a piece of dessert, I always thought of the time when Mrs. He smiled and wiped the dessert crumbs for me.
Wuuuuuuuuu~~~I'm so sad and want to cry.
Losing the person closest to you is like a long dampness that makes you think of her unintentionally.
Chi Yan sighed softly and patted her head lovingly: "Don't cry anymore after crying, otherwise your sister Ning'er will see..."
The little girl wiped her tears and said with chubby cheeks: "Well, Xiao Zi knows, I promise not to let my sister see it."
After Xia Yining had packed up, she keenly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but she said nothing.
He walked into the front hall with the people around him.
The Gu family members who had been waiting there for a long time had been staying in the guest house obediently when the incident happened in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion.
Apart from burning incense, I just watched them go when they set off.
Seeing her so thin, Gu Huacheng felt a pain in his heart and didn't care about the difference in status.
"How is the eldest princess? Have you not had enough rest these days?"
"Well, it's okay. Thank you for your concern, Master Gu. Just take a few days' rest.
The reason I asked you to come here today is to talk about jade shops, from the early craftsmen, to the store decoration, and then to the later operations.
I am ready to let Master Gu take over everything, and by the way, help me train two people, He Qing and He Yao. "
Upon hearing this, the two men stepped forward, bowed slightly, and then stepped back to stand behind her.
“I also know that Master Gu has a large family and a great business, so he must not have much time, so we decided to adopt a cooperative model.
All profits from the store will be split 50-50. I will not interfere with your management. I will just look at the account book every month and just wait for the money to be received.
What do you think, Mr. Gu? Are you willing?
Gu Huacheng was stunned by this. He thought that the eldest princess's business would be accepted by the Third Master, but he didn't expect...
He quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "I am willing, but the share is too high.
I share the profit with the eldest princess 7:3, so you can take 7 and I will take 3.
As for the two people beside you, I will take them with me and teach them well, so that they can become apprentices as soon as possible."
No need. I think a 50-50 split means I won't take care of the store affairs. You need to do a lot of things yourself.
As for what is happening in the capital, just do it with confidence and no one will dare to embarrass you."
"I dare not deceive the princess. Three points is enough or even higher. The Gu family is able to do business under you. To put it bluntly, they are taking advantage of you.
Just talking about interpersonal relationships, the Gu family can take advantage of your momentum and move forward.
If you really want to calculate, from now on, you will have to share 30% of the Gu family's business in Beijing.
What do you think, Princess? If you think it's too little, we can split it 50-50."
Gu Huacheng did not hide anything and laid everything out in the open.
