Jiang Sui transmigrated into a historical romance novel as a background character, so insignificant that she didn’t even deserve a name in the original story. But the moment she heard the name Xiao...
In his eyes, or in the eyes of everyone, Jiang Sui's personal abilities are unquestionable. She always does things with confidence and will not do anything that she is not sure of.
But he actually naively thought that she was just greeting him in advance.
“I must open a restaurant, but the problem now is that if I open this restaurant, the future profits will certainly not be a small amount. You are about to take the imperial examination and become an official. I believe that with your ability, you will have no problem passing the imperial examination and embarking on a career in the government.
However, those who receive salary should not compete with the people for profit. This is a written law of Daqing and must be followed. And I am your wife. If I continue to do such a big business, won’t it affect your career? This is illegal, so I thought, if I can find a suitable candidate to be a nominal shareholder, it will be good. This candidate cannot be our Xiao family. We are all your direct relatives. For you, it is not good to do too big a business!
So, I am very distressed. Where can I find such a person, a trustworthy and capable person to be the boss behind the scenes? "
It turned out that her distress was all because of him. Xiao Hechuan was in love at that moment. He didn't know why, but his behavior and thoughts of always considering himself and putting himself first really caused ripples in his heart.
Does this mean that she loves him too? That's why she thinks so much about him, so long-term?
She really, don't love too much...
Jiang Sui certainly didn't know about Xiao Hechuan's rich inner thoughts. If she knew, she would probably have a different opinion of the future Prime Minister.
Although he was an acting genius, Xiao Hechuan also began to think about the problem she mentioned.
Sui Sui's worries are not without basis. Daqing has always been wary of officials engaging in business. Being an official means that they already have considerable power. They eat the salary from the court and at the same time make money through business. This is absolutely not allowed and is also a fear for those in higher positions.
If there is no clear written regulation, then you officials will be richer than the emperor. What will happen then?
"Sui Sui, there is actually a very suitable candidate. It depends on whether you are willing or not!"
"Who is it?"
When Jiang Sui heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
Xiao Hechuan did not keep the secret and immediately explained:
"My teacher, Mr. Zhong Yun!"
"Mr. Zhong Yun? What do you mean?" Jiang Sui still didn't quite understand what he meant and hoped that he would speak clearly.
"The teacher is now over 40 years old. He has been alone for most of his life and has no children to take care of him. Once a teacher, always a father. In my heart, he is not only a teacher, but also a father. If you want to find a figurehead to take over the ownership of the restaurant for you, and you want the other party to be trustworthy and reliable, then the teacher is the best candidate!
He is no longer in the official career, so he is naturally not bound by the laws of Daqing. Coincidentally, you are also an orphan, so you can recognize him as your godfather. From now on, your teacher will be your maternal family member. Then, as his only nominal student and godson, it is only natural for me to respect him and provide for his old age.
The teacher is open with me, so I should be open with him. He is trustworthy and reliable. What do you think of this proposal? Are you willing to accept it? "
"Yes! Of course I am willing. It is my honor and blessing to recognize Mr. Zhongyun as my godfather. Why wouldn't I want to do that? It's really beyond my reach. I'm afraid Mr. Zhongyun won't agree!"
For Jiang Sui, being able to be Mr. Zhong Yun's goddaughter was already a high status for her. The original owner was just a country girl, but if she had Mr. Zhong Yun as her godfather, her status would be completely different, and she would be transformed into a family of scholars!
"He wouldn't be unwilling. I know him. Besides, the teacher has always had a very high impression and evaluation of you. He said that you are an extremely intelligent and capable woman. It is my blessing to marry you. He always taught me to cherish you.
I chatted with him in my spare time and told him about your life story. He said you were a poor child. He once said that if it were you, he would be willing to be your godfather, but I just thought it was a joke!
Now at this critical moment, we have something to say, so why don't we just make this happen? I will go to pay New Year's greetings to the teacher in two days, and you can come with me and we can bring this up, how about it? "Xiao Hechuan didn't lie, Mr. Zhongyun did say this.
"Is it really possible?" Jiang Sui was a little excited and a little unconfident.
Seeing her expectant look like a little rabbit, Xiao Hechuan couldn't help but scratch her nose:
"Of course you can, trust me!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Sui laughed happily and excitedly turned around twice while lifting her skirt.
If Xiao Hechuan said yes, then it must be possible. She just needs to unconditionally believe in her family's future prime minister.
Before they knew it, they finally reached the main hall. The whole family was waiting for them to go out to watch the lantern festival. Xiao Lanlan immediately noticed the mandarin duck pendants hanging on Jiang Sui and Xiao Hechuan, which were hard to ignore.
"Oh, Fourth Brother gave Fourth Sister-in-law good things again. I am really envious!"
Jiang Sui heard this and did not refute it. Instead, he boasted proudly:
"This is a pair of mandarin duck pendants that your fourth brother spent a year carving himself!"
She was blatantly showing off. Love is worth showing off, and by doing so, she was also giving Xiao Hechuan enough emotional value.
What is this called?
This is called the art of controlling your husband.
Xiao Lanlan immediately made a clicking sound, her eyes full of teasing. The two aunts and sisters-in-law often teased each other like this and were used to being disrespectful, so no one thought there was anything wrong.
On the contrary, the second sister-in-law and her husbands looked at them with disappointment.
They were all born from the same mother, but why are the first few so dull-witted, while the cleverness and romantic gene belong to the fourth one?
Anyway, every time Xiao Hechuan was brought up to show off, the three brothers would be denounced by their wives!
"Don't always say you're envious. Your future brother-in-law is very nice to you. He sends someone to bring you delicious and fun things every now and then. I think you're the one who should be envied the most." Jiang Sui glared at Xiao Lanlan.
Xiao Lanlan did not refute, but instead raised her head and smiled with a very relieved smile.
She thought to herself, that's natural, Yan Qing is the best man, she chose him herself and she likes him no matter how she looks at him. Of course, her brothers are also very good, especially the fourth brother, who is the kind of person who can't be faulted with at all.
Everyone was talking and laughing, teasing each other, and then they left the house. It was a grand procession, and Xiao's father and mother also went, surrounded by the children, like the moon surrounded by stars.
According to this development trend, what Xiao's mother once said, that she would at least become an old lady in the future, would probably come true in a few years.
