Chapter 706 She, believe me!
The mother and daughter talked about their experiences after they separated.
In fact, both sides knew what had happened.
However, there is an essential difference between exchanging letters and face-to-face sharing.
"Back then, thanks to the two secret recipes you sent us, we were able to integrate into the Northern Dynasty faster and better."
"Yuwen Song is an old fox. Although he intends to make friends with the Gu family, he will still observe and weigh things."
"He did run to the riverside to greet us and escorted us all the way to Pingcheng."
"But your father and I both felt that Yu Wensong was more polite than sincere at that time!"
Xiao was not an ordinary woman in the inner palace. She was a princess of the previous dynasty and the mistress of the Gu family.
She has a basic understanding of human nature and the government affairs of the world.
Therefore, Yuwensong’s speculation could not be concealed from the Xiao family.
"Of course, this is normal! After all, we are fugitives who have lost their homes. Even if Yu Wensong wants an ally, he must first confirm whether our Gu family is qualified!"
In addition to the talents and reputations of the two brothers Gu Yi and Gu Ji, the troops and books brought by the Gu family are also one of the criteria for measurement.
The formula for purifying rock salt and the drawings of horseshoes that Gu Qingcheng had someone send directly raised the value of Gu's company to the highest level.
The Gu family is the Gu family, with a profound heritage and countless secret recipes! "In addition to Yu Wensong, there is also Mu Shao!"
"Oh, by the way, Mu Shao is Mu Xiu's father."
Xiao continued.
Gu Qingcheng nodded, "I know! I have heard of Mu Shao's name. He was one of the generals who led the troops in the battle of Jiangling."
Compared to Yuwen Song's smoothness, Mu Shao seems much more "violent".
He is more in line with people's imagination of a warrior - brave and powerful, but slightly lacking in strategy.
Well, to put it simply, it means being simple-minded and strong-limbed! Of course, no one who can hold the position of the general of the state is really stupid.
Mu Shao’s “reckless man” is probably just a character setting.
Relying on this "bravery without strategy" and recklessness, Mu Shao won the favor of the late emperor.
When the late emperor was alive, Mu Shao's power and prestige were higher than Yuwen Song's.
Unfortunately, the previous emperor died, and Yuwen Quan took the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
Mu Shao, this "inflexible" and reckless man, became a thorn in Yuwen Quan's side.
But his character cannot collapse, otherwise, Mu Shao's reputation will be ruined, and the entire Mu family (Qiu Muling family) will be implicated.
Mu Shao had no choice but to continue acting.
Gu Qingcheng: ...This is probably what is called "Success or failure depends on the character setting".
So, don’t mess with the character easily.
It's easy to overturn!
"Mu Shao was forced to commit suicide, but fortunately the Qiumuling clan survived, and the tens of thousands of troops were still inherited by his legitimate son!"
Xiao had no idea that Gu Qingcheng was secretly complaining, and continued to talk about the changing situation in the Northern Dynasty.
"Mu Shao continues to be a reckless man who doesn't know the current situation, all for the sake of Qiumuling's troops!"
As for Mu Xiu, he had to leave the Northern Dynasty because of his father's death.
Mu Shao was definitely not kind to Mu Xiu, but they were, after all, the closest father and son.
Mu Shao is the general of the state. Even if he doesn't take care of her intentionally, he can still protect Mu Xiu in disguise.
Once Mu Shao passed away and his younger brother became the head of the family, Mu Xiu's life would become unimaginable.
There are only two options before Mu Xiu: first, continue to find a backer, stay in the Northern Dynasty, and become a bastard that everyone looks at with awe.
Second, stay away from the Northern Dynasty and start over.
He chose the latter.
After arriving in Lingnan, especially after meeting Gu Qing, Mu Xiu deeply realized: I made the right choice! Instead of disliking him, the junior sister of the Gu family admired him very much.
Having felt inferior for twenty years, even if Gu Qingcheng said to her face, "You are so pretty," Mu Xiu did not dare to have any delusions.
When a little girl who is about to come of age compliments an adult man on his good looks, she is actually implying "I like you."
But, that little girl is Gu Qing Gu Sanniang.
As for myself, I am just a lowly person born to a Hu girl.
He didn't even dare to fantasize secretly!
He was already satisfied that his junior sister did not treat him as an alien and did not despise him.
"What? Junior Sister, what did you say?"
So, when he returned to Gu's Wu Castle and was invited to the study by Gu Qingcheng, Mu Xiu was stunned after hearing Gu Qingcheng's question.
"Brother, I heard that your great-grandfather is a famous businessman in the Western Regions?"
Gu Qingcheng seemed not to notice Mu Xiu's disbelief, and repeated her question considerately, "And you also helped the Mu family with some chores!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Taking care of miscellaneous affairs mainly involves handling the many businesses of the Mu family.
In ancient times, people paid attention to scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans.
Merchants are definitely at the bottom of the social ladder.
When the imperial court conscripted civilians for labor, they would first select criminals, merchants, and sons-in-law from other families.
The fact that merchants were classified together with criminals shows how low their social status was.
Of course, each merchant is different.
Mu Xiu is not a real businessman. He is more like a head manager of the Mu family.
After all, the Qiumuling family was a first-class family in the Northern Dynasty. Even if Mu Xiu wanted to "lower himself", the Qiumuling family could not afford to lose this person.
On the surface, he was still the eldest son of the Mu family, but out of filial piety, he helped the elders in the clan to deal with some mundane affairs.
As a bastard born to Hu Ji, Mu Xiu not only inherited his biological mother's appearance, but also inherited his mother's talent for business.
Initially, some elders in the Mu family asked Mu Xiu to take care of the chores with the intention of humiliating her.
But Mu Xiu performed amazingly.
He can calculate the accounts clearly without using counting rods.
He learned all kinds of business skills without any teacher and they are easy to use.
It has not been three years since Mu Xiu took over the Mu family's assets, but he has increased them several times!
"After all, this is a lowly offspring of Hu Ji, and he is good at these lowly jobs!"
Some people in Qiumuling's family clearly benefited from Mu Xiu's business, but they still kept complaining about it.
Mu Xiu's expertise in business became a strong evidence that he was indeed humble.
Mu Xiu: ...
If someone from the Mu family, or anyone else, said to him "You have inherited your great-grandfather's true teachings", Mu Xiu would definitely think that the other person was humiliating him.
But, at this moment, the person who said such words was Gu Qing.
She's his junior sister!
Mu Xiu recovered from her shock and looked deeply at Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng's eyes were still as bright and shining, without any mockery or malice.
On the contrary, she seemed very happy, even with a hint of anticipation.
What is Little Junior Sister expecting? Expecting me to be a business genius? Gu Qingcheng: ...Of course I expect it! But you are my personal butler, the future God of Wealth!
"Brother, I believe you also know that our Gu family has some assets."
"Sugar, salt, grain and other businesses..."
As Gu Qingcheng spoke, she swiftly took out a pile of account books and pushed them directly in front of Mu Xiu.
Mu Xiu: ...You're taking out the account book right now?
Junior Sister, how can you be so gullible?
