Chapter 580 582. Incomparable

"Are you going to talk about Yue'er's marriage?" Since the lady looked so serious, Prefect Nan guessed it at a glance.

"I heard that His Majesty is going to grant him an imperial decree. Master, don't just focus on the farm these days. It's time to choose a good one for Yue'er."

"Madam, are you sure?"

"I've thought it through. We don't have any background, and if we really send Yue'er to that wealthy family, we might end up harming her.

Look at that Jin, who has been following Master Gu all the way and enjoying a high status. How can our Yue'er be worse than her?"

Prefect Nan was speechless, "Madam, do you think every scholar will have the same fate as Gu Wenheng?

Throughout history, there have been few people who have been promoted as quickly as he has."

Madam Nan, "I know all this, and I didn't expect Yue'er to find a husband like Lord Gu.

For a couple who have supported each other all the way, their affection is always much better than those who are combined for interests.

I just want our daughter to have a more relaxed life in the future.

Besides, Mrs. Gu can live such a good life even though she has no family.

Our Yue'er has you as her father, the prefect, so how can she be worse than her?"

Prefect Nan shook his head and said, "Don't always compare like this. There are some things we really can't compare with."

"How can this be compared..."

Prefect Nan didn't listen to her chatter at all. Some things needed to be planned for early, so it seemed he had to talk to his confidants.

Tianzhuang soon noticed that the wind direction in Lecheng had changed.

In the past, if his place was vandalized, the bailiffs would come quickly. But for some reason, they were dragging their feet now. There were several times when he got impatient and urged them again and again before they came.

It is not as convenient for his subordinates to go out and do things as before, and some old business partners even avoid him.

He realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't find the reason for a while.

Li Yong saw that he was anxious and felt uncomfortable. As an outsider, he thought that Tian Zhuang probably didn't get anything good this time.

It was just that when he came back before, he was sought after in a somewhat confusing direction and did some things without any scruples.

He had traveled around Shangjing and had already understood the ins and outs of it.

My aunt and cousin are not as good as what is said in Lecheng. In the eyes of the nobles in Shangjing, they may not even be worth mentioning.

It's just that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, which gives people an illusion.

"Master, what do you think we should do next?"

If he stopped in time and left Lecheng with his remaining belongings, he might have a chance to make a comeback.

But obviously, these words were not something a butler like him could say.

Tian Zhuang also came to his senses at this moment and realized that his previous bluffing might have been noticed by some people. Those people were very realistic and it made sense to lean to the other side.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Notify them and ask them to sell the goods as soon as possible. Sell the shops that can be sold, and sublet the ones that can't be sold."

However, by doing this, his business in Lecheng would also lose six floors.

What remains are some manors and the escort company.

Seeing that Tian Zhuang was finally not stubborn, Li Yong breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's go find Master Gu?"

Although Xiao Yunhai is only a small county magistrate now, it is much better to be with the local officials than to rely on others like this.

Tian Zhuang frowned, "Yun Hai is probably unreliable. Lan Fen has been in Beijing all these years, saying that she was taking care of Jing Yu and Shi Yu, but this is just an excuse.

In the past few years, Yunhai and I have been communicating less and less. It seems that there has not been a single letter so far this year?"

Li Yong lowered his head and thought to himself, you two brothers and sisters are the same.

When the aunt saw that her uncle had lost power, she simply found an excuse to stay in Beijing for a long time.

As for Tianzhuang, he has been too lazy to even perform the rituals in recent years, and even if he remembers to do so, he just goes through the motions.

It is impossible that the old man did not notice it, otherwise the letters would not have gradually decreased over the years.

I'm just saying that, to the outside world, the farm is all about the brother-in-law of the master's wife, and if they go there to seek refuge now, even if they are not welcome, we have to give them some face and help them settle down.

"What do you think about moving to Shangjing?"

The villain in Li Yong's heart kept shaking his head. It would be better to move to a remote place. At least he would have some spare money and could become a rich man.

"I don't know if it's too young. How about you discuss it with the ladies?"

Tian Zhuang glanced at Li Yong. He used to think that this man was quite clever and could come up with some ideas. But what happened today? He was shirking responsibility for everything.

"Okay, I don't need anyone here anymore, go down quickly and have someone clean up the shop downstairs.

If someone comes to cause trouble again, you should be patient. "

It's not that he didn't think about sending another letter to the capital to ask for help, but the cost was not something he could afford.

Maybe he will take care of it, but he will definitely suffer serious injuries and may end up with nothing.

It would be better to cut the Gordian knot and save as much as possible.

Tian Zhuang went to the backyard alone, and he thought a lot on the way.

At that time, I just wanted to vent my sister's anger, but I didn't expect to get myself involved.

It seems that I should reconsider my attitude towards my sister and niece in the future.

Jin Qianqian didn't expect Tianzhuang to run away so quickly. It had only been a short time since she last received a letter, and this time only ten days had passed, and the situation was completely different.

"Since ancient times, it is true that the people should not fight against the officials." Jin Qianqian smiled and shook her head. She also knew that this was the choice made by Governor Nan after weighing the pros and cons.

It seems that borrowing those guards from Brother Zhou was a right move.

"This is also because our fists are stronger than theirs," Gu Wenheng said his guess, "A roundabout relationship can never compare to direct power.

Is the business in Nale City still going on?"

Jin Qianqian, "Of course, we have invested so much manpower and financial resources, it would be a loss if we take it back now. I don't do business at a loss.

Don't worry, Lixia and the others know what's going on. They will do their job honestly and won't get involved in the affairs of the local officials and gentry."

"That's not what I meant. You've always been complaining about not having enough manpower, and you left so many people there that you can't handle it all at once."

Gu Wenheng felt sorry for Jin Qianqian after all and didn't want her to work so hard. They had more money than they could spend anyway, so why should they work so hard?

As for the industries in Lecheng, as long as the word gets out, there will be many people willing to take them over, so there won't be much loss at all.

Jin Qianqian, "I don't want to dampen the enthusiasm of Lixia and the others. That girl wants to be like Qinglan and also wants to make a difference.

Now that she has finally set up this business, if she is called back now, wouldn't that be a blow to her?"

Seeing that Jin Qianqian had made up her mind, Gu Wenheng didn't say anything more.
