When they were studying at the Qiao family, Qiao Xin asked them to do a survey. In any mansion with many wives and concubines, there was no couple who were of one mind, and no one in the house lived in harmony!
His mother died early, and in order to prevent him from being bullied by his stepmother, his father only allowed those women to have the status of maids and did not even give them the title of concubines.
Even so, he was bullied by his second aunt and grandmother since he was a child! He would never let his children go through the suffering and journey he had gone through again.
Xu Can took Qiao Lingyin's hand and placed it on his wound, and stood up again.
"My wife, it hurts so much. If you touch me, I can see blood coming out and a big lump has formed. Can you be gentler next time..."
Qiao Lingyin felt guilty for a moment. She was indeed a little impatient this time, but she didn't mean it.
She has always been considerate, gentle and caring, so it is forgivable that she occasionally reveals her true nature.
While Qiao Lingyin was coaxing her husband, she was thinking about how to repay those bastards who were trying to sow discord between them!
......
Early the next morning, the madam of Qunfang Pavilion received a huge order as soon as she opened the door.
Xiaoyao Hou's steward made a lavish purchase of all the girls in their attic!
The other party was very generous and didn't even try to lower the price.
This is the first time they have encountered such a situation since they started doing business.
No matter how evil the madam is, she still has a bit of conscience. The girls are all from poor families and have no choice but to enter here. They may not want to lose their lives easily even if they live for another day.
This is obviously not normal, the madam asked another question.
The steward did not hide it and said with a smile: "Our Lord is going to send the girls to the back house of the masters to enjoy happiness!"
"Enjoy...enjoy happiness?"
"If you don't believe me, mom, you can come with us and take a look!"
So the madam of Qunfang Pavilion saw this scene.
The servants and stewards of the Xiaoyao Marquis's mansion blew trumpets and beat gongs and drums as they circled the capital city. Then they walked to the gate of a certain lord's mansion and lined up to sing.
"I have followed the Marquis' orders and returned the gift to Lord XX. Thank you Lord XX for taking the time to care about the Marquis!"
Madam:......
People who eat melons:........
In just one morning, the steward of Xiaoyao Marquis's Mansion sent more than twenty girls away in the name of courtesy, especially to the mansion of a certain prince and his father-in-law, where the most girls were sent!
This not only caused a huge uproar in the capital, but even the masters in the palace were alarmed.
When His Majesty saw Marquis Xiaoyao’s head still wrapped with its wound, he couldn’t bring himself to blame him.
After hearing that the woman he brought back had dared to blatantly provoke Qiao Lingyin and accidentally hurt Xu Can, the Emperor and the Empress did not intend to ask any more questions and waved their hands to let Xu Can leave the palace!
Sending beauties secretly is a common method for officials to win over each other, but this is the first time I have seen such a thing known to everyone. It seems that what the other party sent was something.
A plaything relied on the person behind it and broke the head of Marquis Xiaoyao just one day after entering the house, and even forced the gentle wife of Marquis Xiaoyao to show off her power this time without caring about anything!
No matter how generous the Marquis's wife is, she was brought up by Old Madam Qiao. How could she really be someone without temper?
What's more, her mother's family has such a strong backing and is very confident. Why bother provoking them for no reason? They are just bored!
His Majesty thought that the court officials must have been too idle recently to do such a thing. He was not dead yet. How dare they stir up trouble right under his nose?
It was originally a romantic affair, but it eventually affected the imperial court.
Your Majesty has been sending officials to different posts in a row for half a month, clipping the wings of many small groups and causing everyone in the court to feel insecure.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was an opportunity to warn the prince.
Your father is still alive and well, it’s not the turn of these little bastards to stir up trouble!
After this incident, anyone who wants to send someone to Xiaoyao Hou will probably have to think twice.
Don’t end up not only failing to achieve your goal, but also getting yourself into trouble!
When everyone came to their senses, Marquis Xiaoyao had already taken his children to Lingnan Road to help the king share his worries!
It was not until the new emperor ascended the throne and summoned him that Marquis Xiaoyao returned to the capital with his clansmen to retire.
During the more than ten years that he served as governor of Nanhai County, Xiaoyao Hou and his wife encouraged maritime trade and established trading companies.
The commercial taxes were used to build bridges and roads, establish schools and academies in the local area, enlighten the people, improve people's livelihood, and seek benefits for the local people.
During this period, Xu Can expanded the official roads leading to the imperial court from various counties in Nanhai County, greatly strengthening the imperial court's control over Lingnan Road!
Qiao Lingyin made use of the large amount of resources left by Qiao Xin, and went to Quanzhou and other places to recruit a large number of shipbuilding craftsmen with high salaries, acquired shipyards, established shipyards based on Yazhou Island, and formed the largest maritime merchant fleet in the whole of Dajing.
Then, together with her brothers and sisters, she sold the porcelain from Changnan Town and the tea from Anhua County and Zhangzhou City to various places overseas.......
When Xiaoyao Hou and his wife left office, all the people saw them off!
A hundred years later, local people built a hall and a shrine for the couple!
