Chapter 271 272. Queen Zhou

Jin Qianqian, "Tang Monk is not bad either. Look at all the female fairies vying for him."

Gu Wenheng said seriously, "It's possible that he's not Tang Monk, but the bandit leader."

Jin Qianqian also thought of the crosstalk at the same time and was instantly amused, "Anyway, you always have a twisted logic."

Gu Wenheng, "Isn't what I said the truth?"

Jin Qianqian smiled and nodded, not forgetting to give a thumbs up, "What you said makes sense."

“…”

After the confinement, Gu Wenheng returned to Fu County to hold a full-month banquet. He began to pack his bags with others. "Although this place is not far from Shangjing, you should still bring everything you and your child are used to."

Jin Qianqian, "But this is too much, it's like moving house."

I'm afraid three carriages would not be enough to hold all the stuff the mother and her two children had.

"The rocking bed that Xiaobao is used to sleeping in, and Luo Luo's favorite toys, we can't do without them. And those clothes, we may have to make them as soon as we arrive in Beijing, they are already a bit thick."

"Wouldn't this be too high-profile?" Jin Qianqian wanted to put all the things into the space, but it was impossible. There were too many people serving here inside and outside, and she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly when the time came.

Gu Wenheng, "Don't forget, you are now an imperial merchant. If you have too few things, others will doubt your financial strength."

The imperial examination system stated that students could not engage in business, but there was no hard and fast rule that wives could not use their dowry to run a business.

Over the years, all the properties purchased and the stakes were recorded under Jin Qianqian's name.

In the past, some fellow disciples had used this matter to criticize him for some personal gain, but Gu Wenheng spread his hands and said that he did not have a penny in his name, and all that his family had now was earned by his wife with her dowry.

Everyone was shocked at the time. No one expected that Gu Wenheng, who was respected as Gu Juren in public and behind other people, was actually supported by his wife.

Gu Wenheng heard some of their gossip, but said proudly, "If you have the ability, go find a woman like this.

Envy? If you are envious, just say it. I won’t laugh at you.”

The fellow disciples were all shocked when they heard this, but they couldn't do anything to him.

Jin Qianqian, "If I become a Jinshi, my superiors will assign me an official position. I don't know where I will settle down in the future. If I clean it up now, I will have to deal with it again later."

Gu Wenheng, "Don't worry, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Shangjing for a while."

Otherwise, Qianqian had just finished her confinement not long ago, and he would not be willing to let them travel with her.

"Prince Bai has sent you news again!"

Gu Wenheng, "Even if he didn't send me any news, I would have guessed it more or less.

In the past few years, the court has not been peaceful. The current emperor has been fighting wits and courage with the two groups of ministers. No matter what, I have been labeled as one of the current emperor's people. Do you think that the one above will let me go easily before we develop feelings and tacit understanding? "

Even though he and Master Bai had only been exchanging ordinary letters in the past two years, Gu Wenheng was able to figure out something from just these few letters.

Besides, this city is not far from Shangjing, and he has a good understanding of some figures and factions in the officialdom.

He and Jin Qianqian also specially made a relationship chart, and even some in-law relationships were recorded by them.

Jin Qianqian was still optimistic, "They say that serving a king is like serving a tiger. In fact, I would like you to be sent out."

Gu Wenheng, "That depends on the ranking of this imperial examination."

Jin Qianqian was full of confidence in Gu Wenheng. After all, including the cheating time in space, Gu Wenheng had more than twice the time as others, and it might even be longer.

In addition, with the continuous accumulation of financial resources in the past two years, Gu Wenheng can be said to have finished all the examination papers from all over the country and all dynasties. Now it depends on the last hurdle.

As soon as Bai Jinglie entered the South Study, he performed his greetings and then slumped down on the seat beside him without any image.

"What's this like?" Hua Shunming scolded with a smile, but in his heart he enjoyed the fact that his only cousin and close friend could be so frank with him.

"When will you let me out? I'm tired of staying in Shangjing." Bai Jinglie complained, but did not correct his posture at all.

"If all else fails, I can arrange a marriage for you. This is better than the one that Lord Bai and his men specially find for you."

Bai Jinglie looked miserable, "Please forgive me, I feel that things are pretty good now. The Crown Prince's wife you mentioned will probably be allowed to stay in Shangjing to serve them in the name of filial piety.

With the methods used by Kuang, I'd better not harm the girl."

Hua Shunming didn't care, "Even if that's the case, there are probably still many families willing to marry their daughters into your family. Everyone just takes what they need.

Look at my harem. I was disgusted at the time because they could ignore their business just for a concubine position. "

Bai Jinglie rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are so good at making sarcastic remarks now. When you made Miss Zhou your queen, everyone was stunned. It took them a long time to remember that she was the granddaughter of the commander of the border town.

You did give some concubines to them, but your harem has not been peaceful in recent years, right?"

Hua Shunming drank his tea and smiled complacently, "Then you are wrong. Although my harem is wonderful, it is not as outrageous as you think."

When Hua Shunming thought about what the Queen had done in the past two years, he felt relaxed all over.

As expected of a military background, although she doesn't know any calculations or conspiracies, the queen has always believed that force can defeat skill. Coupled with her own power delegation, the entire harem is now in perfect order, just like in the military camp, with morning and evening exercises every day.

Bai Jinglie had also heard about this, and asked curiously, "These old officials have been making a lot of noise, right?"

Hua Shunming, "So what if there is a commotion? The harem is naturally ruled by the queen, since their daughter is not sitting in that position.

I asked them how their wives and concubines in the backyard get along with each other, and they immediately fell silent.

"But this concubine is still different from an ordinary concubine."

Hua Shunming looked at him with a half-smile, and asked a question that those people had asked at the time, "What's the difference?"

Bai Jinglie, "..." Now he somewhat understood the mentality of those old ministers. It turned out that the legitimate daughter he had carefully raised could only be regarded as a lowly concubine in there.

I secretly sympathized with those people for a few seconds, "So Queen Zhou manages the harem like the legend says?"

At that time, when he was still working outside, Bai Jinglie heard some rumors that the concubines in the harem, in addition to paying their respects every day, also had to run around the palace a few times.

It is said that Empress Zhou disliked their poor health and was afraid that they would not be able to perform the art of spreading leaves well for the emperor. This was to strengthen their bodies so that they would not have to gasp for air after every step, thus requiring the support of the palace maids.

Hua Shunming spoke for Queen Zhou at this time, "Those are all exaggerated. My queen only lets them exercise moderately every day to avoid wasting too much energy.

This method is really good. You see, my harem has been peaceful in the past two years. I like to take a stroll in it when I have nothing to do."
