Donate money to the flood-stricken people in the south and find short-term jobs for the homeless people.
By doing charity, he opened the door to cooperation with the royal family and gilded his own shop.
The Queen Mother smiled widely and praised him repeatedly, "Very good! Although you are a woman, you also have a conscience to help the poor and the needy. Come, I will give a name to Shopkeeper Ye."
Nanny Qian brought over the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone that had been prepared long ago.
The Empress Dowager came from a prominent family and was naturally well versed in literature. The Queen Mother wrote down the eight characters "Ultimate sincerity and kindness, loyalty and righteousness for the country" with a flourish of her brush.
Nanny Qian handed the Empress Dowager's gift to Ye Qiu Shuang.
Ye Qiu Shuang held the scroll in her hand and knelt down again to express her gratitude. Ye Qiu Shuang returned to her seat holding the empress dowager's handwritten letter.
My heart was beating fast with excitement.
When she returns to the shop, Ye Qiu Shuang will follow Chen Wei's instructions and frame the Queen Mother's gift and hang it on the wall in the center of the shop. Then he made several copies of the Empress Dowager's gift and hung them in various branches in Daqing State.
From then on, Chen Wei's shop was officially connected with the royal family, and it rose rapidly with the royal support.
Sitting at the table, Shen Wei was in a good mood and drank another sip of green plum tea happily. As long as she follows her business expansion plan, based on cloth and grain, and then develops industries of all sizes, in less than ten years, she will definitely become the richest businessman in Daqing, rich enough to rival a country.
If you have money in your hands, you have nothing to fear.
After Ye Qiu Shuang presented the gift, she sat back in her original seat in a low-key manner. After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere at the birthday party became harmonious.
It's time to relax and unwind, and singing, dancing and string music come in.
Chen Wei clutched the celadon teacup and glanced leisurely at Concubine Lu Xuan beside her. Lu Xuan kept a low profile tonight and did not drink any alcohol. Judging from her expression, it seemed that she had no intention of announcing the good news of her pregnancy.
Could it be that she plans to wait until the fetus is stable before announcing the pregnancy?
Shen Wei took a sip of tea, fortunately she was prepared. Chen Wei was just about to ask Cai Lian to ask Doctor Mo for help when a refreshing and elegant fragrance slowly spread in the air.
Chen Wei looked up and saw a graceful girl wearing a light purple veil walking into the inner hall, holding a Jiaowei Guqin in her hand.
Chen Wei had already seen the arrangements for the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet at the Ministry of Rites. Logically, after the guests presented birthday gifts, it should be the turn of the musicians from the vocal troupe to dance. Why did a young girl suddenly come?
Shen Wei gnashed her teeth secretly.
The Ministry of Rites was indeed complex in its relationships. In addition to the royal family, there were also several powerful families involved, who had even arbitrarily modified the itinerary of the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.
The palace lanterns in the hall were bright and the light was soft. The girl in simple palace dress came over with a zither in her arms and knelt down to salute the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
The eunuch brought the table and stools, and the girl in purple skirt sat down leisurely. The slender fingers gently stroke the strings, and the beautiful guqin sound flows.
The sound of the piano is beautiful and elegant, and the mysterious melody lingers on the beams of the house. The sound of the piano is pleasant and melodious, like heavenly music.
Not only does the piano sound beautiful, but the girl's figure is also as graceful as a willow. Even with her purple veil on, you could tell she was good-looking.
Chen Wei admired the beautiful music for a while, and Cai Ping came over to pour tea, and whispered to Chen Wei quickly: "Master, that is Tan Tai Yinxue from the second branch of the Tan Tai family. She is eighteen years old, good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and born beautiful."
The tea was sweet, and Shen Wei took a sip silently.
It turned out that the Tantai family had given up on the stupid queen and were preparing to send a new person into the palace to compete for favor.
The eighteen-year-old Tan Tai Yin Xue is both talented and beautiful, and she is probably not stupid either. Li Yuanjing wants to squeeze out the value of the Tan Tai family, so he will probably accept new people and temporarily paralyze the Tan Tai family.
Shen Wei didn't care who Li Yuanjing wanted to sleep with or who he wanted to take as a concubine.
She only cared about the possible threat posed by Tan Tai Yin Xue.
The Tan Tai family learns from every failure; the Tan Tai Yinxue sent to the palace must be smarter than the Queen. Chen Wei had to nip Tan Tai Yin Xue in the cradle before she rose to power.
Thoughts flashed through Shen Wei's mind. Shen Wei deliberately rubbed her brows and told Cai Ping: "I feel a little dizzy. Bring me the detoxification soup."
Cai Ping understood what he meant: "I will do it right away."
Inside the hall, Tan Tai finished singing the song "Yin Xue".
The Queen Mother nodded slightly and praised him indifferently: "Your piano skills are good. I'll reward you."
Tan Tai Yin Xue took off the purple veil on her face, revealing a snow-white and beautiful face. Her skin was as white as cream, her eyes were like peach blossoms, and there was a red dot between her eyebrows. She was very pretty.
A noble lady sitting at the table recognized her and exclaimed, "Isn't this Tan Tai Yin Xue? How could she be here?"
The most beautiful woman in Yanjing City was Concubine Mei Liu Ruyan.
Later, Liu Ruyan got married, and the reputation of Tan Tai Yinxue of the Tan Tai family gradually became known.
Tan Tai Yin Xue slightly bent her knees, her beautiful eyes looking at the emperor behind the pearl curtain, and said softly: "I am Tan Tai Yin Xue, your servant, respectfully wish you good health, and wish you good health to the empress dowager. When I was a child in the boudoir, I admired the emperor's noble character and the empress dowager's kindness and benevolence, and I do not ask for any reward."
Madam Tan Tai, who was sitting in the honorable seat, put down her cane, stood up tremblingly, and said respectfully: "My little granddaughter has always admired the emperor, and swore in her boudoir that she would not marry anyone but you. The queen is seriously ill and cannot take care of the emperor. If the emperor does not mind, I am willing to send my granddaughter to the palace to serve the emperor."
Tan Tai Yin Xue's cheeks flushed, she looked shyly at the emperor behind her eyelids, then quickly lowered her head.
A girl’s thoughts cannot be hidden.
Everyone present had their own thoughts.
Lu Xuan watched coldly, sizing up Tan Tai Yin Xue without leaving any trace, thinking about how to suppress her. Concubine Mei Liu Ruyan drank her tea calmly with a calm expression.
The chubby Zhang Miaoyu was eating fruit, her big eyes fixed on the candied fruit on the table opposite Shen Wei, thinking about how to tactfully ask for the plate of candied fruit.
Zhang Miaoyu didn't care about the girl from the Tan Tai family at all. Anyway, no matter how beautiful a girl is, she will look the same soon after entering the palace—except, of course, Sister Shen Wei.
Concubine Lan was so angry that her teeth were itching. What was the Tan Tai family going to do? One queen is not enough, and they have to send a new person into the palace?
Seeing that Tan Tai Yin Xue has such a charming look, she will definitely be favored if she enters the palace. Lanpin's heart was boiling like oil, and she wanted to pounce on Tan Tai Yinxue and tear her face apart.
Everyone was silent.
Sitting on the honorable throne, Li Yuanjing had a sinister look in his eyes. The Tan Tai family still had evil intentions. Even after the Queen fell, they still wanted to send new people into the palace to maintain the superficial prosperity of the Tan Tai family.
The Tan Tai family is like a skinny camel, but there is still value that has not been squeezed out. Li Yuanjing decided to let Tan Tai Yinxue enter the palace temporarily.
He was about to open his mouth to confer the title of noble on Tan Tai Yin Xue when he suddenly heard a dull and suppressed cough. It was Chen Wei's voice. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Shen Wei not far away, weakly "Xi Zi Holding Her Heart" with a worried look on her face.
The maid brought a bowl of warm detoxifying medicine.
Chen Wei frowned, endured the bitterness of the medicine, and drank the antidote in small sips - Chen Wei was like a cabbage in the wind, weak, pitiful, and helpless.
Li Yuanjing: ...
Suddenly I felt so guilty.
