When the men in the family saw so much silver in the afternoon, they were also surprised. Even if the family was rich, not everyone could afford six million taels.
When Yinzhen and Yin? reported the matter to the emperor, the emperor was also surprised. Finally, he summoned the important officials of the court, and everyone agreed with the emperor's decision to lift the ban on sea trade.
With so much money, who wouldn’t be tempted? After all, it is interests that drive people’s hearts.
After unanimous discussion between the emperor and the civil and military ministers, each family contributed a portion of silver, and the court built ten large ships. Then, they found some skilled sailors and tried their luck in making a fortune.
At the same time, everyone also elected a prince from the royal family to be the person in charge of this matter.
The weather gradually got warmer, and Ruoxi entered the palace to participate in the selection. Originally, Ruoxi planned to go home if she was not selected.
So Ruoxi was unusually well-behaved during the audition.
Unexpectedly, in the end the Eighth Prince asked Concubine Liang for help, and the Fourth Prince also asked Concubine De for help, both wanting them to plead with the Emperor to give Ruoxi to them.
The wife of the Eighth Master's wife was also surprised to discover the Eighth Master's special attention to Ruoxi, and her heart sank even more. What kind of man had she fallen in love with?
The emperor also listened to the requests of Concubine De and Concubine Liang. He was a little surprised for a moment and suddenly remembered the desperate Thirteenth Sister.
He still remembered the Qinyuanchun poem that Ruoxi had recited, and he had a good impression of the little girl. He had never expected that both of his sons liked her, which was a difficult situation.
He remembered that the Eighth Brother's concubine was the sister of this Maertai Ruoxi, and it seemed that he had personally asked for her hand in marriage. Wasn't this Ruoxi the younger sister of his concubine? Could it be that they had fallen in love over time?
And hadn't the Fourth Prince just married his cousin, a princess from the Guarjia clan, as his legal wife? Why was he now interested in Ruoxi, the Eighth Prince's cousin? Could he be trying to win over General Maertai of the Northwest, or perhaps the Eighth Prince?
What are the fourth and eighth brothers thinking about every day? Why are they so confused when it comes to women? There are many women in this mansion, so why do they fall for the same woman this time?
The emperor had a good impression of Ruoxi. She was lively and simple-minded.
I heard that she was getting along well with Bao'er recently, so out of kindness, I thought about it and finally put Ruoxi in my palace as a tea-serving maid.
Baoer and Qingchuan were a little surprised to hear the news. Finally, they asked Yinzhen and Yin? and felt relieved when they learned that she was doing well in front of the emperor.
After spending some time together, the emperor was very satisfied with Ruoxi's recent performance.
He asked her whether she liked the Eighth Master or the Fourth Master, and said that he could make her a concubine.
Qingchuan said that she didn't like anyone and that she wanted to follow the example of Lords Baoer and Qingchuan, make contributions to the country, and then marry. The emperor laughed out loud.
He also said that if she met a boy she liked, she could tell him and he would arrange a marriage for Ruoxi.
…
Time flies, and it is the 48th year of the Kangxi reign.
Baoer’s youngest child is five years old and started studying at Baoer’s academy last year.
There are also Yuyan and Zhaozhao, both of whom are ten years old.
The two of them started working together long after they knew the plans of Baoer and the other adults.
Baoer's academy has been operating successfully over the past few years, providing the country with a wealth of talent and producing many top scholars in both literature and martial arts.
There were also some top math students who passed the exams and obtained the title of "Ming Suan Chuan" and were directly appointed as minor officials in the six ministries.
Therefore, many wealthy and powerful families in Beijing send their children to the college.
Yuyan and Zhaozhao obviously also know that there are many people with potential in the school.
So two years ago, he finally persuaded the emperor to agree that the two of them could study in the academy for two years in secret.
In the past two years, the two of them have observed many promising talents in the academy.
The four younger brothers and sisters who are already eight years old have also been conquered by their two older sisters in the past two years.
As soon as the two sisters leave, the four of them will help them gather some talents for future use, or quietly win them over.
Rong'an Marquis Mansion
Baoer looked at Nian Gengyao in front of him reluctantly. He was almost thirty years old, but still so handsome.
She choked up and said, "Nian Gengyao, although I can't bear to leave you, I know you have your ambitions. Don't worry, I will take good care of the two children at home. If there is a chance, I will let Qingheng accompany me to Sichuan to see you."
"You have to take good care of yourself over there, okay?" As she said this, tears began to fall.
"Baoer" Nian Gengyao looked at the woman in front of him who was crying again, and wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief with some heartache.
"Don't cry, I feel bad. Don't worry, I will write to you often, and you have to write back to me. Maybe I will come back in three years."
"I know, but I'm still so sad. We have been together for so many years. When have we ever been apart for so long?" Baoer pouted and said unhappily.
"You," Nian Gengyao sighed
It can be said that Nian Gengyao has had a successful career in recent years, and his talents are highly regarded by the emperor.
At the beginning of this year, he was ordered by the emperor to go on a diplomatic mission to Korea. After returning to Beijing, he was appointed as the governor of Sichuan, becoming a legitimate frontier official.
Ever since the imperial edict was issued, Baoer has been sleeping in Nian Gengyao's room all these days, and the others have no objection.
Tomorrow is the day when Nian Gengyao takes office, so Baoer is extremely reluctant to let him go.
The next day, Nian Gengyao strode out under Bao'er's reluctant gaze. He swore in his heart that he would return as soon as possible.
After Nian Gengyao passed away, Baoer had been distraught for the past few days, but finally she cheered up with the care of her children and her husband.
