Chapter 61 Family Business
"Madam, are you going to support Concubine Ru to win your favor?" Chun Jing asked uncertainly after the people had gone far away.
Pu Qiongzhi didn't answer directly, "That depends on what the Queen wants me to see Rupin for."
She simply relied on the fact that she was the mistress of the harem and wanted others to be knowledgeable and sensible, and to bow to her and her son at the right time.
But she is not a fool.
If she defected to the Queen, she would be standing against the Queen's enemies.
She just wanted the Pu family to become the richest family in a down-to-earth manner. Now it seems that the only way is to play power games.
However, she did not regret marrying Earl Gong Ning.
It was precisely because Lord Gong Ning was indifferent to all this that she was able to keep her family business.
People are often controlled by the things they desire and become slaves to them. Since everyone wants her money, the initiative is in her hands!
"Whether Rupin can rise up depends on herself. All I can do is pave the way for her."
"I've already told her everything I need to say. The rest depends on her own wishes."
"Old Marquis Gongning protected his daughter too well, which is why she is so vulnerable. Now that the bloody reality is before her, it's time for her to grow up."
Whether she will become a useless person who dies in depression and become the handle and weakness for others to control the Earl of Gongning's Mansion, or turn around and become the umbrella of protection for the Earl of Gongning's Mansion, it depends on what she does next.
"Before that, I remembered something..."
"I've been married in Kyoto for a long time, and it's time for me to go back to Jiangnan to see my old father."
Hearing this, Chun Jing was overjoyed. "We are going back to Jiangnan? Really? The master will be very happy if he knows!"
"I see you are quite happy now!" Pu Qiongzhi smiled at her.
Return to the Earl of Gongning's Mansion.
As soon as Pu Qiongzhi entered the door, she saw Nangong Hua moving a chair and sitting in the middle of the yard.
Uncle Yang was busy directing the servants to move things.
"Husband, this is..." Pu Qiongzhi asked.
Nangong Hua straightened himself and said, "Madam, please take a rest and change your clothes first."
"Let's set off immediately and return to the Pu family in Jiangnan."
He suddenly remembered something today.
At this time in the previous life, the old boss of the Pu family had an accident and broke his leg.
If they set off immediately, they might still be able to make it in time.
He remembered that the Ninth Prince was on patrol in the Jiangnan area at the time and happened to come across the man and rescued him.
It was from that moment that Qiongzhi officially handed over the power of the Pu family.
But in this life, the Ninth Prince has not married a wife. If they cannot arrive in time, his father-in-law may be in great danger.
"I was just about to say that I've been in Beijing for a long time and I miss my father. I didn't expect that my husband would share the same sentiment."
Pu Qiongzhi was a little surprised, and looked at Chunjing in confusion.
What a coincidence?
"The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is superb at this time of year and can't be missed." Nangong Hua could only find an excuse to explain.
Pu Qiongzhi nodded and teased, "Does my husband always have such a good taste?"
After she said that, she went to the back house on her own.
Yan'er was eagerly waiting for her wife to come back. She had counted the accounts in her hands three times.
"Madam! You are finally back!" When she saw people, she ran over happily like a puppy.
Pu Qiongzhi changed out of her heavy court robes with the help of her and Chunjing.
"My Lord suddenly felt like going to Jiangnan! I couldn't stop him, so I could only pack some clothes for you..."
Pu Qiongzhi raised her eyebrows, as if puzzled. "What clothes are you packing? Pack all the cool things you got as a reward from the palace!"
"Go now, take a few servants with you, call the shopkeeper Qiao and the others, and buy some more things from Kyoto. Everyone is waiting for you when you get back!"
"When has the family ever lacked my clothes and jewelry? If you really can't find them, just buy them and make them!"
"Ah? Oh! That's right! How could I forget about this!" Yan'er clapped his hands, jumped up, took his purse and ran out of the house.
Pu Qiongzhi drank a cup of tea and took a break. "Recently, several shops in Beijing have made a lot of money..."
"Madam, are you going to spend money again?" Chun Jing was alert.
Pu Qiongzhi chuckled, "Guess!"
Before I got married and moved to Beijing, my father said he had his eyes on the craftsmanship of a shipping company.
This boat company mainly makes small boats for lake cruises rather than large ships for sailing on rivers and seas, so the craftsmanship is more refined.
My father said that his family's boat business was a craft passed down from generation to generation, and the workmanship was very exquisite.
But this family was stubborn and insisted on competing with the government-run shipping company, so their business was naturally bleak.
No matter what kind of skill you have, you have to support your family. My father said that within three months, their family might not be able to hold on.
Pu Qiongzhi originally thought that her father wanted to open a new shipping company, but she didn't expect that he actually wanted to make furniture.
I don't know how the business is going now.
When she got married, she took away 1.6 million taels of silver, and the family fortune must have been drained out.
Right now, she has a lot of money on hand, which is just enough to help her father in an emergency!
Thinking of this, Pu Qiongzhi felt a little better.
Half an hour later, Yan'er came back with a group of servants in a rage, pulling three carts of goods behind them.
"You little girl! You've never bought anything before!" Pu Qiongzhi was shocked and looked at these things with a headache.
My husband already had a lot of luggage, and now they are so tired from the journey.
"It's been a long time since I went back... Hehe!"
Although Pu Qiongzhi was helpless, she still tolerated her behavior and asked, "What did you buy?"
"Madam, I've bought all of Kyoto's most famous candied fruits and pastries! Oh, and lamb wine, too. I've ordered over a hundred jars! Now I have gifts for the clan elders when I return!"
"Have you bought some tea balls? Your grandfather loves them the most," Pu Qiongzhi asked.
Yan'er nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry! I've remembered everything! I even bought a lot of storybooks!"
"This Bixulang's storybook is very hard to buy. The young ladies in Jiangnan are all thinking about it! Not long ago, they wrote to ask me if I had the sequel."
Pu Qiongzhi chuckled, "You girls, really are..."
"Madam, is everything ready? Let's set off now." Nangong Hua asked.
Pu Qiongzhi arranged for Nangong Jiayu to be taken care of, then she stood up and went out, "Okay."
"Let's find a restaurant to have a meal later, and then travel overnight. We will reach the post station before dawn tomorrow." Nangong Hua said.
Pu Qiongzhi had no objection. Although she didn't know why he was so anxious, she had traveled around with her father when she was young, and it was not uncommon for her to travel in such a hurry.
"Madam, if you insist on getting through this section, we can change to the water route and head south." Nangong Hua explained, as if he was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable.
Pu Qiongzhi comforted him, "Don't worry, my husband. If you are anxious, I can ride a horse."
"Madam can actually ride a horse?" Nangong Hua was a little surprised, and once again witnessed how skilled his wife was.
