Chapter 38: What’s the point of not colluding?
Chu Jiuning raised her eyes and met Chu Jingchi's gaze.
Smiled at him.
Chu Jingchi felt cold all over and inexplicably terrified.
Chu Jiuning ignored him and continued talking to Chu Linxiao and Chu Boyao.
"The most important purpose of going to Chunshan Academy is to learn from their strengths and make up for my own weaknesses. If we can recruit teachers from there to come to Hanshan, that would be even better. In addition, while making acquaintances with the powerful, we must also inquire about various news from the upper echelons. If there is no collusion between officials and businessmen, there will be no point."
"But if we don't do this well, we merchants will be at a disadvantage and will be suppressed by the government. We will end up being subservient and working for nothing. You must use your own means to make these powerful people work for us, without offending them and making them work wholeheartedly for us."
Chu Linxiao's eyelashes twitched violently. He looked at his cousin who was sitting on the chair and saying these words lightly. The emptiness deep in his chest seemed to be filled up instantly.
"How easy is that!"
Chu Boyue clenched his fists tightly, and the arrogance in his eyes suddenly disappeared. Deep down in his heart, he agreed with Chu Jiuning. This is how it should be.
Why do merchants have a low status? They do ten thousand times more than ordinary people!
"It's not easy, so I'll give you some time to do it slowly. Brother Yue, without the government to protect us, how long do you think our Chu family can move forward?"
He should understand the principle that a big tree attracts the wind.
Chu Boyue was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a cold face. What he said was absolutely correct.
so.
Not only did he want to make friends with the powerful and influential, he also had to find a way to marry a legitimate daughter. In this way, their family would be stable and they would be able to rise to the top in one step.
When the idea entered his mind, he felt a fire burning in his chest, becoming more and more radical.
This Chu Jiuning.
If he really has some skills, it would only take a few seconds to make him calm down and do things for her.
far away.
A guard appeared and spoke to Chu Jiuning.
"Miss, all four members of the Gu family are dead. They must have been dragged to a mass grave."
Chu Jiuning nodded, looked up and said to Chu Linxiao.
"I can't entertain you two brothers today. Once I'm ready, I'll have someone deliver your admission certificates. You can then report to Spring Hill College."
This is the first time in history that a merchant's son has entered Chunshan College. It will definitely cause a sensation and bring unprecedented difficulties.
"When you go there, a lot of people will give you a hard time, so be careful."
"good."
There was a hint of gloom in Chu Boyue's eyes, and then the two of them were sent out by servants.
Chu Jiuning brought her people back to the bridal chamber.
"If the news of the Song family giving birth to a child in such a hostile family gets out, not only will the servants be disheartened, but all the servants in the capital will be disheartened."
"Not only that, he also had people search the yard and took all the valuables from the Gu family to his own yard."
"You didn't see it. He was beaten to a bloody mess, and blood was dripping as he was dragged. It was horrific."
"I have spread the news, and soon the entire Song Mansion will know about it."
Listening to them chatting freely and feeling the chattering in her ears, Chu Jiuning's eyes were full of tenderness. After this action by Song Jinhuai, it would be impossible for him to have a loyal servant again in the future.
"My lady, I am still unhappy."
After Amber helped Chu Jiuning sit down, she frowned and shouted. Chu Jiuning looked at her with a smile, and she pointed in the direction of the newly renovated courtyard and said angrily.
"This Second Miss Song is showing off her things everywhere, saying how favored she is and how wealthy she is. She invited four young ladies over at once. I wonder how proud she must be."
Needless to say.
She knew which ones they were.
A chill came over her, and she slowly leaned back, nestling into the soft cushion, with a cold look in her eyes.
When it came to asking for gold, silver, and jewelry, she would call her sister-in-law first and sister-in-law second. Once she got them, she would scold her for being from a poor family and saying she was not even worthy of carrying her shoes. Not only did she show off her treasures everywhere, she also forced her to give things to her sisters.
Just give it to me.
They also mocked her at the banquet, ruined her reputation, and even forced her to kneel in the snow for three hours, almost breaking her knees.
and.
These people even teamed up to harm her, causing her to fall into a winter lake. If she hadn't escaped quickly, the ugly servants they had specially arranged would have succeeded.
Lower your eyes.
She stroked the cup in her hand gently.
"I worked so hard to renovate the yard, but before I could even get comfortable in it, it was snatched away. It makes me feel uncomfortable no matter how I think about it."
After saying that, he slowly poured the water in his hand onto the ground.
"Why not burn it down? No one should live there?"
"fire?"
Amber raised her face and smiled. It seemed that the young lady had anticipated that the yard would be robbed, so when she renovated the yard, she secretly made some tricks and placed flammable things on the west side of the house. As long as they were quietly lit, the fire would quickly burn.
As long as they run fast, nothing will happen to them.
"That's easy. I'll arrange it right away."
With that, Amber turned and walked out.
She just doesn't believe it.
After suffering so much fright, Miss Song would still dare to stay there.
Chu Jiuning was too lazy to stay in the wing room, so she took everyone to rest in the yard, looking in the direction of the new yard, waiting quietly.
About a quarter of an hour later.
Black smoke rushed straight up, and Chu Jiuning pinched a cake and ate it slowly.
Chu Jiuning led everyone to sit in the dining table and looked in that direction. A quarter of an hour later, when thick smoke rose over there, Chu Jiuning picked up the tea and slowly took a sip.
"By the way, bring two kilograms of this tea first, and go out later."
Finished.
Chu Jiuning stared at the tea leaves in the bowl and couldn't help laughing.
She told the emperor that the production of this tea is small, the roasting is complicated, and it requires a variety of precious herbs. In fact, the annual production of this tea is at least several hundred kilograms, and the roasted herbs are not all precious. As long as you are careful when roasting and don't make mistakes, it is not troublesome. You can easily roast dozens of kilograms, and the cost is at most one hundred taels of silver per kilogram. But she now has to sell one thousand to two thousand taels of silver per tael of tea.
A businessman's mouth is a lie!
That’s absolutely true.
"The fire is getting bigger."
Nanny Hong pointed at the rising smoke and said with some regret.
"It's a pity that we have arranged so many good things, including the toys that the old slave made for the young lady."
Chu Jiuning sat up after hearing this and said anxiously.
"Didn't you bring it back?"
That was when she was four years old. She went out and saw that others had parents, but she didn't. After she came back, she cried and asked her grandfather where her father and mother were. She said that others had small toys made by her mother, but she didn't. Aunt Hong saw her crying and then cried with her. She stayed up all night to make her a stuffed dog.
Later, they did a lot of things, but Chu Jiuning’s favorite was still the pink dog.
Seeing that she was anxious, Nanny Hong gently stroked her long hair.
"It's not a puppy, it's a little tiger. I've put all the personal belongings that the young lady likes over there."
That's good.
Chu Jiuning then went back to her nest. When Nanny Hong saw her delicate daughter, her eyes were filled with love.
Mingtang shouted as he looked at the smoke in the distance.
"Just burn it. Miss doesn't like things that have been touched by others anyway."
Chu Jiuning nodded.
Nanny Hong seemed to remember something and leaned forward to ask with some concern.
"If that's the case...what if His Royal Highness has been touched by someone else?"
