Qi Yuning was helpless, her brother was really childish.
Even if the side door is blocked, there are still other ways to go.
Qi Yuanan took Lingling to go horseback riding, and Qi Yuning sorted out the account book and went to Qi Yuanan's courtyard to find A Ping.
Ah Ping is sewing small clothes.
Qi Yuning saw the small clothes and said, "What exquisite small clothes, but why are they all for girls?"
"I want to give birth to a daughter as cute and well-behaved as Lingling."
A Ping sewed the small clothes carefully.
Qi Yuning thought that A Ping would be disappointed eventually, but these small clothes could be given to Ling Ling in the future.
Qi Yuning handed three booklets to Ah Ping and said, "These shops are all owned by our Qi family. The Qi family has businesses all over Dasheng. Do you know about the Fuyi Clinic?"
Ah Ping nodded and said, "Yes, it's the largest pharmacy in Dasheng."
Qi Yuning said: "This Fuyi Clinic is the property of the Qi family. There are 59 branches in the whole Dasheng. In addition to running a clinic, Fuyi Clinic also does herbal medicine business. Before my grandfather died, he thought that the medicine should be in his hands, so he entrusted it to me.
The general manager of the medical clinic is Aunt Yueya, who is old now. The managers of the medical clinic are Shuangjiang and Xiaoxue. These two are not often in Beijing, and they always go to various places to check on the medical clinics. "
Qi Yuning opened the booklet and said, "The front of this booklet records the shopkeepers of the Fuyi Clinics in various places. These are the 18 medicine shops of Fuyi Clinics. There are medicine shops from Lingzhi Island in the east to Baishan in the north, from Lingnan in the south to Beicheng in the west."
Ah Ping was surprised: "So many!"
Qi Yuning opened the booklet and said, "And here are the Qi family's grain shops and farms. There are a total of 138 stores, 320 farms, and 10,000 hectares of arable land."
Ah Ping was shocked and asked, "How much? Princess, did you say it was 10,000 acres?"
"No, it is ten thousand hectares."
Qi Yuning sighed and said, "How can ten thousand acres be enough to feed so many Qi family soldiers? There is little arable land in the North City to grow food. The more than 200,000 Qi family soldiers have to rely on these ten thousand acres of food to survive. Although the court will also provide military rations, they are always the worst after all. The North City is hard, and we can't let the soldiers suffer any injustice."
Qi Yuning added: "This is our tea business in Minzhou. This tea is very profitable. It is only because of these teas sold overseas and in the Western Regions that the Qi family can become rich. The person in charge of the foreign business is Kong Li..."
Ah Ping saw the booklet that Qi Yuning showed her. The Qi family's assets were recorded in it, and they were already rich enough to rival a country. "The Qi family is so wealthy."
"Although the Qi family is extremely wealthy, their expenses are also high, and it is not easy to support soldiers."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Since I took over the family business, I have had very little free time, but now that you are here, sister-in-law, you can take over the important responsibility of the Qi family business."
Ah Ping was extremely surprised again and asked, "I answer it?"
Qi Yuning said: "You are the mistress of the Qi family, so naturally you have to answer it."
Ah Ping covered her belly, pursed her lips and said, "Princess, I really can't take over this huge family business. I don't have the ability."
Ah Ping knew that the palace was wealthy, but she had never imagined that the palace's assets were almost as rich as a small country. It was not an exaggeration to say that the palace was wealthy enough to rival a country.
"Mother, dear! Aunt!"
Lingling came into the house, holding a horse whip in her hand and said, "Mom, Lingling can ride a horse now!"
Qi Yuning chuckled and touched Lingling's head.
Qi Yu'an walked in and saw three thick booklets. He looked at Ah Ping, whose expression was not good. He walked forward and asked, "What is this?"
Qi Yuning said: "Since my sister-in-law has come into the family, all our family assets will be handed over to her. After all, I can't manage my mother's family's account books after I get married."
Qi Yu'an frowned and said, "You are still the daughter of the Qi family after you get married, so how come you can't take care of things? Ah Ping can't even read a few words, and it will take her seven or eight years to take over the entire Qi family business. You should continue to take care of it."
Qi Yuning said: "How can a married daughter still manage her parents' account books?"
Qi Yu'an said, "It doesn't make sense for an unmarried daughter to stay out all night. Didn't you do that? Ping is not suitable to manage this account book. She is too delicate and can't control the people under her. But you are used to it."
Ah Ping also said, "Princess, I am too stupid to learn how to keep an account book. You should continue to manage the account. We are all family. After a woman marries out, she is still a family member. Since we are all family members, it doesn't matter who manages the account."
Ah Ping did not have any ambitions. When she saw the properties listed in the brochure, if there were only a dozen shops, a dozen farms, and a few thousand acres of land, she might have taken over.
But these are tens of thousands of hectares of arable land, and there are only tens of thousands of hectares of arable land in Shancheng County. She really can't do anything about it.
Qi Yuning looked at Qi Yu'an and said, "Okay, I will take care of the family business for now. Tell me when you want to take it back."
Qi Yu'an said: "Just keep it under control."
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling and said, "If this happens, I won't have time to accompany Lingling. Lingling's parents can't accompany her during the day, and they can't be together with her at night. How pitiful."
Lingling threw herself into Qi Yuning's arms, "Woo woo."
Qi Yu'an said: "I asked someone to open the side door, so Lingling's father can still come to accompany Lingling at night."
Qi Yuning smiled and said, "Thank you, brother."
"Uncle is so nice!" Lingling raised her eyes and smiled at Qi Yu'an, her eyebrows curved into crescents, "Lingling likes uncle!"
Qi Yu'an hugged Lingling and said, "Who does Lingling like more, daddy or uncle?"
"I like Daddy!" Lingling said with a faint smile.
Ah Ping said softly, "Your Highness, children always love their parents."
Qi Yuan was thinking about what Lingling had said in the morning about his cousin saying that his father was not a good person. He couldn't help but look at A Ping's belly. He would have to be nicer to him after he was born.
…
In the East Palace.
Uncle Qin brought his eldest son Qin Han and fifth son Qin Zhen to Zhao Chong to discuss matters.
Zhao Chong offered tea to Uncle Qin and said, "Uncle, eldest cousin, fifth cousin, please have some tea."
Uncle Qin said, "I heard from the Queen that you want to make the granddaughter of Master Song the Crown Princess?"
Zhao Chong responded: "Yes."
Uncle Qin frowned and said, "Aren't you kidding me? The Song family is powerless now. If the old tutor was still alive, it would be fine. But now the Song family is nothing. You can't marry the daughter of the Song family as the Crown Princess."
Zhao Chong said, "Isn't this exactly what my uncle wants? My uncle didn't allow me to marry Princess Qi because he was afraid that the Qi family's in-laws would dominate. Now I can only marry the daughter of the declining Song family. Isn't that good?"
"Of course not!" said Uncle Qin.
Zhao Chong said: "Uncle, I have made up my mind. Father and mother have also decided that Song Heqing will be the Crown Princess."
Zhao Chong knew that Song Heqing and Qi Yuning were close. If Qi Yuning really became Lu Ze's wife, she would be his nephew's wife, and he would not be allowed to even look at her once more in the future.
But Song Heqing and Qi Yuning are good friends, and they will definitely interact more even after marriage.
He could also look at Qi Yuning a few more times.
Qin Zhen said, "Aren't you just kidding? Are you as crazy as Qi Yu'an? He wants to marry an orphan girl from the mountains, and you want to marry the daughter of an official who has already declined."
Zhao Chong said: "The decree has been made."
Uncle Qin frowned and said, "It's not impossible to change the decree. Now that the old emperor is gone, your marriage is up to you. The Qi family helped us a lot by getting rid of the King of Shu! I heard from the imperial physician that the old emperor has been in poor health recently?"
Zhao Chong didn't like Uncle Qin's disrespect for Emperor Shi Yuan. "Uncle, do you know that your address is disrespectful? My eldest brother is my father's eldest son. He made such a big mistake. He must feel guilty and sad. It's hard not to feel depressed."
Uncle Qin said coldly: "Since the old emperor loves his eldest son so much, why not go and accompany his eldest son as soon as possible!"
"Uncle!" Zhao Chong said repeatedly.
Qin Han said: "Your Highness, your eldest cousin's wife's revenge must be avenged! Yu Li is crying every day now, and the Qi family is protected by His Majesty, so it is difficult to avenge her.
Only when the old emperor dies and you ascend the throne can you get rid of the Qi family and avenge your cousin's wife, and we will no longer be oppressed by the Qi family!"
Zhao Chong said: "Get rid of the Qi family? How easy is that?"
Uncle Qin said, "Chong'er, how can you allow others to snore beside your bed? If you don't get rid of the Qi family, you won't be able to sit firmly on the throne in the future. Now that the King of Shu has been eliminated, it is a good time for you to ascend the throne and get rid of the Qi family."
Zhao Chong shook his head and said, "The Qi family is loyal and devoted, and my father has a long and blessed life. Uncle should be careful with his words."
…
As soon as Lu Ze returned to the princess's mansion, he turned around and went to the prince's mansion.
In Chunjiang Garden, Lingling was feeding the little koi in the yard, Qi Yuning was looking at the account book at the window, and the years were peaceful and quiet.
Lu Ze walked to Qi Yuning's side and said, "The candidate for the Crown Princess has been decided."
Qi Yuning raised her eyes to look at Lu Ze and said, "I thought the matter of the Crown Princess would be delayed for a while since the King of Shu had just left?"
Lu Ze said: "The King of Shu has brought a stain to the royal family. Your Majesty naturally does not want people to talk too much about the King of Shu's treason. Only the news of the crown prince's wedding can suppress the royal scandal of the King of Shu's treason."
Qi Yuning raised her eyes and asked, "Who is the Crown Princess?"
"Guess?"
Qi Yuning looked into Lu Ze's eyes and asked, "He Qing?"
