Xiao Qin'er still had a miscarriage.
She was very angry, very upset, very anxious, and very hateful. She couldn't control her emotions.
Even with pregnancy-stabilizing drugs, adults still need to calm down and cooperate.
Xiao Qin'er had no way to cooperate.
The three women living in the small courtyard are the three thorns in her heart.
Liu Yi's attitude was like a knife, slashing directly at her face.
No matter how Madam Xiao tried to persuade her, no matter how Liu Yi humbled himself, they could not dispel the hatred in Xiao Qin'er's heart. It was even more impossible for her to swallow her anger and accept all this.
She was born with a strong personality and she couldn't accept herself being so compromising.
She can't live a life of compromise with her husband.
She was depressed and her emotions fluctuated greatly.
When Liu Yi came back from the yamen, she finally exploded.
In front of Madam Xiao, she asked Liu Yi to drive away the three concubines.
Liu Yi coaxed, persuaded, and lied to her, but he just refused to agree to her.
Madam Xiao also hoped that Xiao Qin'er could be more open-minded. This kind of thing would happen sooner or later.
If you can't cross that hurdle, you will be the only one who suffers. No matter how a man goes through it, he will go through it, without the thousands of entanglements that women have.
Worrying about things is just torturing yourself.
If you think more positively, the world will be vast and the world will be yours. If you don't care about that man, you won't feel bad.
This is Mrs. Xiao's experience.
It is also the true meaning of life summed up from countless blood and tears.
This is how she lived for decades, and this is how Princess Pei lived for decades as well.
Those who can live a good life are those who are willing to turn a blind eye.
Give up your love for a man and don't get too serious about it. Getting too serious will only hurt yourself and cause you to feel depressed. If you die young, your children will suffer.
The so-called ignorance is a blessing, this is the truth of life.
However, Xiao Qin'er was angry, and coupled with her pregnancy, her emotions were fluctuating.
She didn't hear a word that Madam Xiao said.
She looked at Liu Yi in front of her and felt that his face was hateful.
"ah……"
She suddenly screamed and picked up a pillow and threw it at Liu Yi.
After the blow, blood gushed out from below.
By the time the imperial physician arrived, the child could no longer be saved.
The bedding stained with blood was thrown in the corner, looking shocking.
The maids were quiet and didn't dare to speak loudly.
Mrs. Xiao stayed by the bed, comforting Xiao Qin'er.
Liu Yi sat in the outer room, sulking.
Pei pointed at him, "You, you...what can I say to you? She asked you to drive those women away, so what if you just agreed to her this time?"
Liu Yi wiped his face and said nothing.
Pei sighed, "Just keep going."
Liu Yi's face turned pale. He never thought that Xiao Qin'er was pregnant at this time.
If it had been a little later or earlier, the result would not have been this.
Madam Xiao tucked in the quilt for Xiao Qin'er and said, "Take good care of yourself and try to give your eldest brother a younger brother or sister next year."
Xiao Qin'er lay in the quilt, her eyes empty and unfocused.
She seemed not to hear what Mrs. Xiao said, she was living in her own world.
Madam Xiao wiped her tears and said, "You need to be more open-minded and stop being so stubborn. Now that things have come to this, your health is the most important thing."
Xiao Qin'er listened carefully and gritted her teeth. "Mother's words imply that I should endure it, right? Why don't you stand up for me? Why don't you drive those women away for me?"
You are my biological mother, yet you force me to accept it, force me to be more open-minded, and always make excuses for Liu Yi. Who is your daughter, anyway?
She vented, she roared, she was dissatisfied, she was sad, she was upset.
Madam Xiao was obviously frightened. She looked at Xiao Qin'er in shock. "You, are you resentful of me? I'm doing this for your own good! When encountering something like this, if you don't want to be more open-minded, do you really want your brothers to beat Liu Yi?"
"Yes, I just want my brothers to beat him up. You are my biological mother. Why did you come to the palace to visit me? To vent my anger! Why don't you vent my anger? Why do you always speak for Liu Yi?
I am your biological daughter. Who is Liu Yi? He is not your son. Why do you make me tolerate him in every way? Why?
Xiao Qin'er questioned in pain and screamed loudly.
What hurt her more than Liu Yi’s betrayal was her biological mother’s betrayal.
She was disappointed and she was sad.
She understands the truth.
She is not a fool, she understands all the principles.
But at this time, what she needed was not reason or bowls of chicken soup.
She needed her family to stand by her side, to share her hatred and fight alongside her. No matter how noisy or how she acted, her family would support her unconditionally.
Instead of repeatedly instilling various great principles.
Who wants to listen to big principles!
Who wants to listen to your life experience!
You have your life experience and I have my way of living. Why should I live according to your experience?
Xiao Qin'er burst into tears, her heart was broken.
Liu Yi hurt her face, but Madam Xiao hurt her heart.
Mrs. Xiao's actions made her realize that even her family could not be relied upon when she was in the most difficult and helpless time.
In the end, the only person she can rely on is herself.
This is a kind of growth, but it is accompanied by bitterness and sorrow.
No one wants to grow up, everyone wants to be their mother's child.
But her mother pushed her in front of the bloody reality and left her to fight it alone.
She can't bear it!
She couldn't stop crying.
Madam Xiao was also crying, "Qin'er, you just had a miscarriage, don't cry. Be careful not to hurt yourself."
"Don't bother with me. Go take care of your good son-in-law. Go take care of him."
Madam Xiao cried and said, "Everything mother does is for your own good."
Xiao Qin'er asked angrily, "For my own good? Have you ever asked me if I need it? I don't need you to do this for my own good. I just want you to teach Liu Yi a lesson and kick those women out, but you didn't do anything.
You still want me to accept it, to swallow my anger, and to forgive. Why! If these words came from the princess, I would not be angry. Because she is the princess, the mother-in-law, not my biological mother. But you are my biological mother, why don’t you help me, but help Liu Yi instead? "
When it comes to family matters, many times we don’t need to judge right or wrong, we only need to take a stand.
Who are your relatives? Then please stand on the side of your relatives unconditionally and support them.
What Xiao Qin'er needs at this moment is support, not bowls of chicken soup and words of truth.
She had a miscarriage and lost the baby.
She has no scruples anymore.
She just wants to blow the roof off.
If she doesn't have a good life, no one else can have a good life.
She refused to look at Madam Xiao again.
At this moment, mother is not as reliable as brothers.
Mrs. Xiao was in a sad mood. She gave Xiao Qin'er a few words of advice, but when she saw that she ignored her, she could only sigh.
Madam Xiao walked out of the bedroom.
Liu Yi heard the noise and stood up.
"Mother-in-law, Qin'er..."
Bang!
Madam Xiao took two steps at a time, walked up to Liu Yi, and slapped him in the face.
Liu Yi was stunned. He covered his face, forgetting to react.
Pei, who was standing aside, opened her mouth, wanting to say something to Madam Xiao.
Suddenly, he thought that the root of the matter was Liu Yi, and Xiao Qin'er had another miscarriage today, so he finally let it go.
Madam Xiao said, "This slap was given on behalf of Qin'er. Think about it yourself. Are you worthy of Qin'er?"
Liu Yi had nothing to say, everything he said was wrong.
Madam Xiao looked at Pei again and said, "You, my in-laws, are bullying Qin'er like this. Do you really think that there is no one in our Xiao family? This matter is not over yet."
After that, Madam Xiao took her people and returned to the mansion to discuss the follow-up actions while it was still daylight.
How the Xiao family vented Xiao Qin'er's anger is not discussed for now.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The bidding conference will be held today.
Early in the morning, Gu Jiu left the house in a carriage.
…
Wu Dabiao got up early, had breakfast, and went to the address on the invitation out of curiosity.
The steward greeted him at the gate of the villa.
"Mr. Wu is here. What a rare guest! Please come in."
Wu Dabiao coughed lightly and said, "There are quite a lot of people here!"
"Thank you all for coming. Please come in. We are all having tea inside."
At this time, a local businessman from the capital also came to the villa. He was showing off with a fan in the middle of winter, like an idiot.
The local businessmen glanced at Wu Dabiao with disdain and secretly complained: Where did this bumpkin come from?
As a businessman, Wu Dabiao is very sensitive to other people's eyes.
He glared at me and said, "Kid, if you dare to look at me sideways again, beware of my fist."
"Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth."
The steward stepped forward to separate the two groups, not forgetting to remind them, "We have rules here. We allow fighting over money, but we absolutely do not allow any verbal insults, let alone physical assaults.
"If anyone breaks the rules, I'm sorry, but from now on, the doors of Sihai Trading Company will be closed to you. In the future, we will not invite anyone who breaks the rules to participate in any business opportunities."
Tsk!
Sihai Trading Company is so awesome that it even drives people out.
Isn't it just a matter of spending money to show off? Everyone has some money.
Wu Dabiao glanced at the local businessman and said, "Kid, watch out, I'm going to hit you to death with silver in a moment."
The local businessman, fanning himself, didn't mind the cold: "Country bumpkin, I'm waiting for you. The person who wants to kill me with money hasn't been born yet."
The two of them snorted coldly, turned their heads, and entered the courtyard one after another.
This villa belongs to Princess Huyang.
Gu Jiu paid to rent it as a way to add some income to Princess Huyang.
The villa underwent a major renovation.
The walls separating the rooms were knocked down and pulled through.
It was redecorated in the style of later small theaters.
The seats are neatly arranged in rows, fixed and installed, and gradually raised to ensure that even the last row can clearly see the table.
At the front, the curved countertop looks very simple.
The roof was raised and a second floor was added.
The second floor is all private rooms.
People sitting in the private room can clearly see everything in the hall through the window.
The merchants who came to the scene saw this new decoration for the first time.
Some people despise it for being too shabby and unrefined. This kind of shabby place is unworthy of their status.
The owner of Sihai Trading Company made so much money, but he refused to spend money on making it luxurious. There's not even a carpet on the floor. How can that be right?
Gu Jiu hid on the second floor, listening quietly to the businessmen's complaints.
The corners of her mouth twitched.
Money!
If you want a luxurious venue, the rich have to pay for it.
In order to bid for this event, she paid for the venue rental, decoration, and invitations to heroes.
The emperor didn't spend a penny.
You want her to spend money to build a luxurious venue? It’s nothing if she has no money.
Next time, when she has money, she will build a circular landmark building outside the South City Gate. Build a venue that can accommodate thousands of people at the same time, which can be used for performances and auctions.
It can be as extravagant as it wants. It will blind the eyes of these wealthy people.
When some people dislike something, naturally there will be others who praise it.
Although the venue is simple, it is worthy of praise just because it can accommodate three or four hundred people at the same time.
You know, many times, what is lacking for gatherings of hundreds of people is a large venue.
So they had to sit outdoors or choose places like ancestral halls.
Why do clan members usually hold meetings in the ancestral hall?
Because the ancestral hall is spacious enough.
There is a choice, who is willing to go to the ancestral hall to hold a meeting.
It feels guilty to talk about gossip in front of the ancestral tablets!
Therefore, clan meetings often yielded little results. The real decisions were all made privately.
There was a knock on the door.
Qingmei opened the door and Bai Zhong walked in.
"Madam, the Grand Master has arrived. I will place the old man in room seven."
Gu Jiu nodded, "I understand, go ahead and get busy."
"As you command."
Bai Zhong retreated.
Gu Jiu asked Deng Cunli, who was waiting beside him, "What do you think?"
"Madam has a wonderful idea, and I admire it."
Gu Jiu said, "Now that you're back this time, I plan to keep you in the capital. What do you think?"
Deng Cunli was a little hesitant.
He likes the Northwest because he feels comfortable there and can stand on his own.
Gu Jiu knew that he had a knot in his heart and said, "Don't rush to make a decision on this matter. Think about it slowly. When you have made up your mind, tell me."
"I obey your command."
Gu Jiu stood up and went to Room No. 7 to pay his respects to the Shaofu Housekeeper.
"Grandfather, you are finally here."
The Shaofu Housekeeper laughed heartily. "For such a big event, how could I not come? This place is well-maintained."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, then complained, "Don't look at the small place, it's too expensive."
The Shaofu family commander looked at Gu Jiu speechlessly and said earnestly, "Xiaojiu, could you please stop bringing up money every time you see me?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "After all, our ancestor is the God of Wealth."
The Shaofu Housekeeper waved his hands repeatedly, "I am only managing the money for Your Majesty, I am not the God of Wealth."
"Old Ancestor is too modest. Old Ancestor, please drink tea."
Gu Jiu poured the tea himself and placed the cup in front of the Shaofu Housekeeper.
The Shaofu Housekeeper drank his tea and asked, "Xiaojiu, tell me the truth, how confident are you in this bidding meeting?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It's too early to say anything now. It's better for us to see for ourselves how this bidding will be conducted."
"You're still keeping me in suspense. There's nothing I can do about you."
Just as Gu Jiu was talking with the Shaofu Housekeeper, Bai Zhong, sweating profusely, was welcoming a group of uninvited guests.
The emperor got off the carriage and looked around. "It's quite quiet."
Chen Dachang, Wei Zhong of the Left Guard of the Jinwu Guard, Xu Xianzhi of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the King of Chu, Liu Zhao, several other imperial grandchildren, and many guards accompanied the emperor.
The guards spread out and guarded the entrances just in case.
Wei Zhong and Xu Xianzhi, along with several experts, protected the emperor.
The King of Chu glanced at Liu Zhao and said, "If I hadn't heard it from others, I wouldn't have known that all of this was done by my sister-in-law. She's very capable. Brother Zhao, congratulations on marrying a good wife."
Liu Zhao ignored the King of Chu.
The King of Chu clenched his fists, smiled magnanimously, and refused to argue with the eccentric Liu Zhao.
The emperor asked Bai Zhong, "Has it started yet?"
"Your Majesty, it's not time yet."
The emperor put his hands behind his back and walked through the back door.
Bai Zhong hurriedly followed, planning to send someone to inform Gu Jiu.
The emperor came uninvited and killed everyone by surprise. What should we do?
But the emperor had been on guard against him for a long time, "Don't tell anyone that I'm here. I just came to take a look."
Bai Zhong was sweating profusely.
This, this, what should I do?
He looked at Liu Zhao, hoping that Liu Zhao could come up with a good idea.
Liu Zhao shook his head slightly and told him not to do anything small and to obey the emperor's orders.
Bai Zhong had no choice.
He welcomed the emperor to the largest private room, Room 8, which was right next to Room 7.
The auction is about to begin.
Gu Jiu stayed in room number seven, accompanying the Shaofu household steward.
"It's almost time to start. Are all the people sitting here wealthy merchants from all over the place?"
"Exactly."
“How are you going to shoot it?”
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Please allow me to keep this a secret for a while."
Boom boom boom!
The gong was struck three times, and the noisy hall gradually quieted down.
Erzhuang comes to the stage and he is the main character today.
He coughed lightly and held up a simple loudspeaker.
Through the simple loudspeaker, his voice was clearly heard by everyone.
His voice was a little distorted through the speaker, but his words were concise and powerful.
“Dear friends who have come from afar, and all our neighbors, thank you for your trust in Sihai Trading Company and for allowing us to gather together for this grand event.
Today is a day worth remembering. This moment is a moment worth remembering. Because everyone here will participate in an auction that is unprecedented and will never be repeated.
I'm sure everyone is curious about what we're selling at this auction. Let me tell you, we're not selling merchandise; we're selling reputation, quality, and your position among your peers for the next five years.
Do you think I'm exaggerating? So, I'll cut the crap and introduce our protagonist today. Your status in the next five years will be determined by this.
