It's not that she doesn't like it, it's just that the burden is too heavy.
That period was the most relaxing time in her memory, and she didn't have to think about anything.
The memories of the past were so good that over the years, Gongsun Wenqing's eyes have been covered with a thick filter. No matter how ugly or coward Ning Qiao becomes, in Gongsun Wenqing's eyes, he is still
innocent.
Gongsun Wenqing always believed that as long as he was good enough to him and met Ning Qiao's needs, brother Ning Qiao would one day change back to his former self.
Manager Sun was almost angry to death. He admonished with some frustration: "Miss, it's been almost ten years. You should be very clear about what can be changed in ten years. People's hearts are the most changeable."
At first, when Gongsun Wenqing said that he had fallen in love with the Southern Crown Prince, he was actually a little happy.
After all, the status of the Southern Crown Prince is not something that would make the Gongsun family feel honored, but it is still a good status.
Even if the Southern Kingdom changed hands later and Ning Qiao was cowardly and incompetent, Manager Sun thought that the lady still liked him, so it was not unacceptable. After all, Gongsun's family had a big business and there was no problem in raising a man.
But now, he had to admit that he had made a mistake at the beginning. It would have been okay if Ning Qiao was a waste, but he was simply a troublemaker! He had dragged his young lady into this state! He should have stopped her from the beginning.
Now it's too late to regret it.
Gongsun Wenqing naturally understands that Manager Sun is doing it for her own good. She has never suffered any setbacks in her life. However, the recent setbacks have really hit her hard, but these are not enough to shake her belief.
"When this matter is over, I will go back to apologize to my father and the elders. I believe that brother Ning Qiao will change back. When the time comes, my father and the others will definitely like brother Ning Qiao."
Manager Sun knew that Gongsun Wenqing had made up his mind, and it was useless to persuade him. He could only sigh and said: "I understand that I will always follow the young lady."
Gongsun Wenqing helped Sun Guanshi up with some emotion: "Uncle Sun, thank you."
No matter what decision she makes, the people around her will always support her. This is Gongsun Wenqing's only comfort now.
At this time, Ning Lang and Murong Che, who were far away in the South Country, were having dinner together. The food of the South Country was indeed famous all over the world. Murong Che learned a way of eating called "hot pot" from the folk.
Thinking that Ning Lang was bored in the palace, he took Ning Lang and set up a table of hot pot in the imperial garden. It was the first time Ning Lang saw this, it was quite novel, and he was enjoying the meal when he suddenly sneezed.
Murong Che frowned and handed it over to Ning Lang. He went up to wipe Ning Lang's mouth and said, "Everyone says that Your Majesty, eat slowly. This chili powder is the most pungent, and no one will compete with you."
Ning Lang rubbed the tip of his nose, smiled coquettishly, and took the chili powder farther away.
For some reason, just for a moment, some scenes seemed to flash through his mind, as if they happened a long time ago.
Murong Che looked at Ning Lang's careless look and sighed. After being the king for so long, Ning Lang seemed to be the same as before, like a child in front of him, without any change.
Fortunately, when it was time to be serious, Ning Lang could still pretend to be solemn, at least it was enough to fool the ministers.
"I'm going to worship my ancestors in two days. I have to fast these days. Don't eat too much. Be careful of being spotted. There are also those sacrificial words that I asked you to memorize. Have you memorized them?"
Murong Che said in detail while filling Ning Lang's meat.
Ning Lang blinked. He didn't read any of the books Murong Che sent.
But he still said: "Write it down."
Murong Che raised his eyebrows and said, "Can you carry it?"
"Silk clothes..." An obscure sentence came out of Ning Lang's mouth.
Murong Che's eyes widened: "I'm just looking down on the king."
Ning Lang scratched his head in embarrassment: "Actually, I didn't read the books you gave me, but for some reason, I just remembered these words and said them."
Murong Che remembered that Ye Fuxun once told him that Ning Lang once encountered a dangerous situation of near death and his memory disappeared.
Because the Golden Gu King's child Gu stopped growing even during the years when his body was sleeping, and now he looks so much younger than himself.
"Your Majesty, have you remembered what happened back then?"
Ning Lang's eyes were a little dull, but he quickly regained focus and said calmly: "I probably...remembered a few things. There seemed to be some more pictures in my mind just now."
Murong Che asked with great interest: "What picture?"
He was a little curious as to what the first past event that Ning Lang recalled would be. It must be a very important memory for Ning Lang.
Ning Lang bit his chopsticks, frowned and said thoughtfully: "It seems to be a girl. I seem to have seen her before, she looks familiar."
"Female?" Murong Che looked at Ning Lang with a deep look in his eyes: "It seems that the king has someone he likes?"
"What...what kind of thing do you like? Gucai doesn't have one!" Ning Lang blinked and retorted.
…
Lu Guo and Gongsun Wenqing gathered their spirits. Since they decided to finish this matter, they must deal with the matter at hand.
The previous actions to disrupt prices in mainland China should not be carried out again, otherwise they would only lead to losses, so Gongsun Wenqing simply gave up.
Although the loss was considerable, it was still acceptable. Stopping the loss in time is also a skill. She gave up very decisively and handled the matter very neatly without letting the aftermath affect her.
Then Gongsun Wenqing seemed to disappear, at least on the surface, Gongsun Wenqing did not do anything.
But not long after, Ye Fuxun received the news that in just half a month, Gongsun Wenqing had acquired more than a dozen gambling houses in the capital!
There are not many gambling houses opened. It should be said that there are not many people who have the strength to open gambling houses.
There are only so many gambling houses in the capital. Except for some gambling houses with big figures behind them, all the scattered gambling houses have been taken into the hands of Gongsun Wenqing without anyone noticing.
In this short period of time, Gongsun Wenqing managed the gambling houses with great success and attracted a large number of customers. If the popular gambling houses had not suddenly become sparse, Ye Fuxun might not have discovered it yet.
this matter.
When Yunyuan Pavilion reported this matter, Ye Fuxun made a rough calculation. In this short period of time, Gongsun Wenqing may have earned tens of millions of taels of silver. This is all real gold and silver.
The previous bad checks were different.
Even if Gongsun Wenqing is his opponent, Ye Fuxun has to admit that Gongsun Wenqing is extremely talented when it comes to making money in business, and even Shang Jun may not be able to achieve such results.
Gambling houses are inherently profitable industries, and it would not be an exaggeration to call them a gold-selling cave. But to open a gambling house and make it so successful, the knowledge involved must be profound.
