Chapter 764766. Inheritance
Bai Jingyang suddenly sneered in the direction of the main house, "Even our good elder brother has to observe the three-year mourning period this time. I wonder if he will still have a place beside the emperor after three years.
Now he has not received the imperial edict from Cao Zhong, so he may not be able to obtain the title of Marquis. "
Kuang Yunqiao's eyes lit up, "Yes, it is difficult for many people to be reinstated after mourning, let alone the emperor's close ministers. Maybe someone is already thinking about how to replace him."
When she thought that Bai Jinglie might be in trouble, Kuang Yunqiao felt particularly happy.
But they didn't feel happy for long, as a maid ran into the yard and told them to go out and receive the order.
Kuang Yunqiao, "..."
After a long series of reprimands, the final word was that the reputation of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion was completely lost in this imperial edict.
Old Madam Bai knelt in front, staggering, until Bai Jinglie inherited the title, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But the eunuch gasped for breath and took a long time to continue reading, which made Old Madam Bai feel like her head was about to explode. The hereditary title was gone with Bai Jinglie.
Holding on for a breath, she waited until Bai Jinglie sent the angel out. Then, Old Madam Bai could no longer breathe and collapsed on the old woman beside her.
It was a chaotic situation and it was not easy to save her life. Old Madam Bai could only spend the rest of her days on the couch.
Kuang Yunqiao said with some gloating, "The foundation passed down by our ancestors was destroyed in your hands. Are you so proud of yourself now? I don't know how I will explain this to my ancestors in the future."
Bai Jinglie glanced at her and said, "If you don't listen to the imperial edict carefully, I don't mind having someone read a few more times in your courtyard."
Anyone who is not stupid knows who the rebuke at the beginning is referring to.
"you……"
Bai Jinglie said to the newly promoted Marquis' wife Deng Mei'e, "Madam, I'll have to trouble you to take care of the affairs of the mansion from now on, and change the proportions of some people."
Kuang Yunqiao's face froze, and she then remembered that she was not recorded in the family tree, otherwise, Bai Jingyang, the second son, would not have only received 10% of the family property.
Deng Mei'e glanced at Kuang Yunqiao and said, "Yes, Lord."
These few short words also informed who would be the head of the mansion in the future.
Bai Jinglie brought his confidants to the study. Now he finally got what he wanted and obtained the title of Marquis of Wu'an.
He felt a little cold in his heart. He had tried his best to help the emperor over the years, but he didn't expect that he still didn't get any preferential treatment.
"What's going on?" Bai Jinglie asked the people below with a cold face, "Why did you take back the hereditary title? I haven't done anything wrong these days, right?"
"My Lord," Wang Lei saw that he had already called himself the Marquis, so he changed his tone and addressed him respectfully, "Has our affairs in Lucheng been discovered?"
Bai Jinglie, "It shouldn't be. Gu Jin is so far away, she can't figure out whether this is the emperor's intention or our private actions.
Can you ask someone to find out if there is any new person around the emperor during this period?
There have been people who have been jealous of my position for a long time and want to take my place."
Wang Lei, "But you have to observe mourning for three years, Lord."
Bai Jinglie leaned back in his chair, rubbing his forehead.
When Bai Yugang was alive, he was always worried. Now that he is gone, he has left behind so many troubles.
Others say that children are a debt, but he has no way of expressing his pain because he has such a father.
"Yes, we still have to observe mourning. Who knows what the scene will be like in three years?"
The emperor hasn't sent anyone to take over his business yet, but it won't be long before he does.
Thinking of the sweetness he had just gained from the sea trade, Bai Jinglie took a deep breath and said, "Let our people be smarter during this period, and you have to win them over.
Isn't there a love-stealing policy? Then find a way to make His Majesty take away his love."
Wang Lei is not so optimistic. Looking at the past and present, how many people have been able to seize love?
What's more, the prince, no, it's the marquis, what the marquis has done is not irreplaceable.
Seeing that his family members had not yet come around, Bai Jinglie said, "Now we can only make some adjustments in terms of manpower..."
As long as the people under him don't do their job well and the people who take over are unable to handle things well, he doesn't believe that the emperor will not be anxious.
Wang Lei, "...Isn't it a bit risky? The emperor arranged for someone to be with the marquis before, I'm afraid he had planned this in advance."
There is a saying that Wang Lei didn't say more clearly: the people working below are all replaceable. If they don't do a good job, there will be too many people who want to replace them.
Bai Jinglie, "Give me this order first, and I'll consider the others later."
He had accumulated some private property over the years. He was already very satisfied as the glass workshop had a stable dividend every year. With the accumulation over the past few years, he was even richer than the ancestral property of the Marquisate.
But once he came into contact with maritime trade, he realized that it was just a small-scale business.
Over the past year, he has focused on maritime trade and inevitably neglected the glass factory.
The dividends paid by the glass factory this year were much less than in previous years, but the amount from maritime trade was enough to shock everyone.
All these went into the emperor's private treasury. He followed behind and got some benefits, which was more lucrative than what he had earned in the previous years.
As for Gu Wenheng noticing it, maybe he is worried now, thinking that this is the emperor's intention.
&
Gu Wenheng sent the letter and put the matter aside.
In addition to dealing with the important matters at hand, Gu Yi's wedding is also approaching.
Jin Qianqian was entertaining Gu Shulin and his wife in the side hall, and Gu Wenheng, the head of the family, was naturally there too.
"These guys have caused you a lot of trouble here," Gu Shulin saw a row of kids standing in a row and felt it was a bit difficult to take care of them.
It is said that the teenagers can eat their fathers out of money. With so many young men, all of them are tall and strong. I don’t know how much Gu Wenheng and his wife will have to pay.
"Not really. They have all found things to do now, and can help us out occasionally." Jin Qianqian said with a smile. This was because these guys were knowledgeable and understanding, and knew how to lend a hand whether they were inside or outside the mansion.
"Just tell me if you have anything to say. These guys only have the strength to be worthy of attention anyway." Dai Ling said a little awkwardly.
Gu Wenheng was completely different from the previous village boy. His official authority made her feel a little ashamed.
"They are all good guys," Jin Qianqian praised, making Gu Yi and the others standing nearby smile.
Gu Wenheng coughed lightly, and these people immediately restrained their expressions and stood there more respectfully.
Gu Shulin glanced at them and nodded with satisfaction, "I asked you to come out with me so that you can learn more, but if you have those wicked thoughts in your mind, don't blame the clan for being rude when the time comes."
The young men from the Gu family stood straight, and they even saw the shadow of the old patriarch in Gu Shulin.
