Gu Jinan calculated and felt that with the support of his mother and sister, the store should be able to open soon.
The next morning, he went to rent a shop from the landlord, but no matter how sincere he was, the other party was unwilling to rent the shop to him.
He went to several stores and got the same response from everyone.
Finally, a homeowner secretly told him that he had offended someone.
But when he thought about it, he didn't seem to have offended anyone, not to mention that the people he met didn't seem to have such great abilities that so many landlords in the capital were unwilling to rent to them.
Wang Yanran was surprised to see him returning home dejected again.
"Still haven't rented a shop yet?"
Gu Jinan said something that offended someone, and Wang Yanran couldn't guess who did it.
It was not until Fang Zhanrong went out to inquire that he found out that it was the eldest prince who did it.
"What did you do to offend the eldest prince?"
Gu Jinan shook his head: "I have never met the eldest prince, how could I have offended him?"
"The eldest prince is not blaming Fubao for the incident with the imperial concubine. You are Fubao's elder brother, so he can't stand you doing well?"
Wang Yanran guessed that the last time the imperial concubine was banished to the cold palace, she felt that the eldest prince looked at them unkindly.
Everyone knew that Fubao was in the palace on the day the imperial concubine died. If the eldest prince believed that Fubao was related to the imperial concubine's death, wouldn't his hatred for their family be even greater?
"That must be the reason!"
Gu Jinan frowned fiercely. If that was the case, he might not be able to do business in the capital.
"Mom, don't tell Fubao about this."
Gu Jinan glanced at Fubao who was still sleeping. If he couldn't do business in the capital, he would go somewhere else. He didn't want to make his sister feel guilty.
"good."
Wang Yanran sighed, "Everyone says that the eldest prince is sensible and upright, but now it seems that he is not as good as the rumors say."
"Isn't it? The eldest prince is just good at pretending."
Fang Zhanrong snorted coldly. His father was the Grand Tutor and had a very good eye for people. His father had always told him since he was a child not to get close to the eldest prince because the eldest prince had a bad temper.
He also witnessed with his own eyes the eldest prince torturing the palace maids.
"Mom, you and your sister must be careful in the future."
It didn't matter if he couldn't open the store, he was just afraid that the eldest prince would play tricks on his mother and sister.
"Don't worry, mother will definitely pay attention."
After observing for another two days, there was no other movement from the eldest prince, and the Imperial Master's Mansion relaxed a little.
It was the 80th birthday of the old lady of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. Wang Yanran got up early in the morning and changed Fubao into a festive dress. The little girl was pink and tender in the red dress with auspicious cloud patterns. She looked like a snowball, which made people happy just by looking at her.
"Hey, this is Little Lucky Star!"
The old lady of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion had heard of Fubao's name a long time ago and came out to greet him in person.
"Madam Wang, can I hold Fubao in my arms?"
Although she is eighty years old, she is in good health and still walks with a breeze.
"It's Fubao's honor to be liked by the old lady!"
Wang Yanran put Fubao into the old lady's arms. The little guy blinked his eyes and looked at the old lady's aura with his little mouth wide open.
"Incredible! The old lady is destined to live a hundred years!"
Generally, an elderly person who lives to be seventy or eighty years old is considered to have lived a long life, but the old lady of Yong'an Marquis had made military achievements in her early years and did many good deeds, which increased her luck and extended her lifespan.
She was a lucky star, so naturally she liked the strong and peaceful aura of the old lady.
Looking at the little girl giggling at her in her arms, the old lady couldn't stop smiling.
In fact, the old lady of the Marquis of Yong'an did not look particularly kind. On the contrary, she looked a bit serious. None of the grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-grandchildren in the family were not afraid of her.
But the little baby in her arms was not afraid of her, and was smiling and enjoying it.
The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
"Come here, bring me the longevity lock I prepared."
Looking at the large solid gold longevity lock and the series of jewelry that matched it, Wang Yanran quickly declined.
"Old Madam, this gift is too precious..."
This is the first time we meet, it would be inappropriate to accept such an expensive gift.
"A gift from an elder cannot be refused, take it!"
After the old lady of Yong'an Marquis said this with a fierce face, Wang Yanran did not dare to refuse.
Fortunately, they came with enough gifts this time, otherwise accepting such generous gifts would be a debt of gratitude, and she was afraid that it would affect Fubao.
"I've never seen my mother-in-law love children so much!"
The eldest lady of the Marquis of Yong'an smiled and said that the current Marquis of Yong'an is the eldest son of the old lady of the Marquis of Yong'an, and the Marquis of Yong'an's backyard is now also managed by the eldest lady of the Marquis of Yong'an.
The wife of Marquis Yong'an is very versatile and a wonderful person.
At this moment, she pretended to be jealous, causing the old lady of Yong'an Marquis to glare at her and then smile.
"None of the children at home are as lovable as this child."
"Isn't it? This child, I like him just by looking at him!"
The eldest lady was all smiles and wanted to take the child from her mother-in-law to satisfy her desire, but she failed.
The ladies who came to the banquet were amazed when they saw this scene. They had never seen a baby who was just one month old being so popular when going out.
Seeing Fubao being liked, Wang Yanran was also happy.
But she was not someone who didn't know etiquette. After drinking a cup of tea, she brought Fubao back.
The old lady is very busy celebrating her 80th birthday and can't spend all her time on them.
Soon, everyone showed their birthday gifts.
Wang Yanran is now asking for her dowry back, and she is considered wealthy, so the gifts she gives are naturally of high quality, but they are not better than those of the old lady's descendants.
The old lady of Yong'an Marquis was very satisfied. Mrs. Wang was indeed a good person.
At the banquet, the old lady of Yong'an Marquis asked Wang Yanran to have dinner with her. Shaoyao took Fubao to drink goat milk and did not come back for a long time.
Wang Yanran was a little anxious and asked her servants to look for Shaoyao, but they couldn't find her.
Fubao is missing!
The old lady of the Yong'an Marquis immediately sent people to look for him, but they searched the entire Yong'an Marquis Mansion but could not find Fubao.
"Madam Wang, don't worry. I'll have someone look for her outside right away."
Marquis Yong'an also came and immediately dispatched people to look for Fubao.
The Crown Prince, General Leng, and the Third Prince received the news that Fubao was missing and sent people to look for him.
The Taifu Mansion and the Minister Zhou Mansion also sent out all the servants in their homes.
All the staff of the Imperial Master's Mansion were mobilized to search for Fubao everywhere.
"Mother, could it be that the eldest prince did this?"
Gu Jinan's face was filled with anxiety. If his sister was taken away by the eldest prince, the consequences would be disastrous.
"It shouldn't be. The eldest prince is still keeping vigil and has not behaved in any unusual manner in the past few days."
Fang Zhanrong had been watching, but didn't notice any unusual movement from the eldest prince.
"Then who took my sister away?"
The Yong'an Marquis's Mansion is celebrating a birthday today, and with so many people coming, it's difficult to verify who did this.
