Others only thought that Yang Cui got to where she was today because of Cen Xiao, but Madam Lu knew that Yang Cui was a woman of great talent.
Before even meeting Cen Xiao, he began to demonstrate his value by cooperating with the Su family.
Government and business have always been complementary; doing business requires the protection of officials, but getting promoted also requires money to pave the way.
Having sufficient economic strength makes one's path in officialdom much easier.
Yang Cui's family is small, so their expenses are much lower than those of large families. Even established families with a rich history may not be as financially secure as Yang Cui.
Madam Lu continued, "Cousin Yilin is very good, but in terms of wealth, he cannot compare with Miss Yang. The Cheng family has a deeper foundation than the Yang family, but without the Cheng family's help, cousin Yilin's efforts will be in vain."
Moreover, his family situation is complicated. His father is mediocre and unlikely to achieve anything. There is also a legitimate son born to his stepmother. It would be extremely difficult for him to find a legitimate daughter from a high-ranking family. If he were to marry a concubine's daughter from a high-ranking family, how many resources would the woman's family be able to provide? Furthermore, Young Master Yuan is studying in the Southern Study. His husband says that he will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future.
If Ms. Yang continues to support education, who knows how many talented individuals she might cultivate in the future? Don't forget she's also currently running a veterans' employment center.
In this way, whether there are her people among the civil officials or the military officials who respect her, these connections will become an asset to Yuan Qiu, and also an asset to Er Ya and San Ya's husband.
"Furthermore, Miss Sisi is of good character, knows arithmetic, and has been taught by Lord De'an. She will definitely be good at managing the inner quarters in the future."
Chen Shiqi often praised Er Ya and San Ya, so Lu Shi spent some time getting to know Yang Shi and her two daughters. The more she learned about them, the more she admired Yang Cui.
Marriage should be between equals, but you are picky about the other person, and the other person is picky about you. Ms. Lu believes that we should look at all factors, and not just focus on birth. As long as the other person is not too bad and has potential, that is acceptable.
Chen Xiuying felt she had been refuted and lost face, so she said sarcastically, "Since you think so highly of Yang Sisi, why not let her become part of your family?"
“I do indeed have this intention,” said Madam Lu. “My cousin Yunxi’s second son is twelve years old this year, and I’m thinking of bringing them together.”
Shan Yunxi is Lu's cousin. She grew up in Lu's family without parents and has a good relationship with Lu.
The Jiang family she married into wasn't of very high social standing, and since the eldest son usually inherited the family business, she thought it wouldn't be bad if Shan Yunxi's second son, Jiang Chong, could be paired with Er Ya.
Chen Xiuying was speechless.
Madam Chen said, "Right now, Lord De'an certainly has no mind to discuss his children's marriages."
Regardless of whether we can become relatives, I greatly admire Lady De'an's character. Now that General Cen is dead, it's hard to guarantee that no one will try to take advantage of her. If possible, I might as well lend a hand and forge a good relationship.”
...
Kyoto, a certain house.
"Cen Xiao is a cunning and treacherous man. Are you sure he's the one who died?"
“Our people have verified that the deceased is indeed Cen Xiao! After falling into the river, the body was slightly swollen, but it is still clear that it is Cen Xiao. You can rest assured, Your Highness.”
“If Cen Xiao hadn’t really died, Yang wouldn’t have fainted several times. Yesterday at the funeral hall, if someone hadn’t held her back, Yang would have committed suicide by running into a pillar.”
"She's quite the devoted woman," Xia Yunfeng said. "This woman is capable and can make money. It would be great if she could be of use to me in the future."
Xia Yunfeng planned that once they had accomplished their mission, they would definitely bring Yang Cui into their household. Such a capable woman should not be allowed to fall into the hands of others.
"Your Highness, everyone now thinks that Nan Yue is about to launch an invasion, and their attention is all focused on Nan Yue. This is the perfect opportunity for us to strike!"
"Pass down the message: once General Qiu encounters our troops, take immediate action! They certainly don't know that General Qiu is already one of our men."
When General Qiu leads his elite troops to attack the capital, the emperor's expression will be priceless, hahaha...
The day this is accomplished will be the day you are all ennobled and appointed prime ministers…
"Your Highness, this humble official congratulates you!" The crowd immediately bowed and paid their respects.
Once it's done, wouldn't he be the crown prince? Xia Yunfeng thought his subordinates were very perceptive.
