Mrs. Zhao patted her son on the shoulder and smiled: "Yutong has to go to the shop. It's not safe for her to be alone along the way. Go see her off quickly."
Ling Yutong's eyebrows froze, and just when she was about to refuse, Wu Liuguang said: "Okay."
"Miss Ling..."
Wu Liuguang turned to her and raised his hand to signal.
Now, I had no choice but to refuse.
Ling Yutong nodded slightly and walked out side by side with Wu Liuguang.
Behind the back, Mrs. Zhao looked at the backs of the two handsome men and women, and the corner of her mouth raised a smile with special meaning.
On the way, Ling Yutong asked casually: "Master Wu, are you still adapting to coming to Beijing? Where do you live?"
Wu Liuguang replied: "I have been in Beijing for a few days, and I have adapted well. My temporary residence is very close to Qi Mansion. It is a small courtyard."
Ling Yutong nodded, the two of them talked about each other, and soon they arrived at Xingyue Pavilion.
At this time, Wu Liuguang's eyes were a little tangled, but he still said: "Well, Miss Ling..."
"Um?"
Ling Yutong turned to look at him.
Wu Liuguang really couldn't hide his thoughts, his eyes were full of shame.
"What my mother just said...her personality is like that. Miss Ling's suggestion was originally to ask for help, but I'm afraid...my mother will become more and more troublesome the more she helps."
He spoke very carefully, and every word he spoke, he was obviously searching for the right words over and over in his stomach.
Ling Yutong raised his eyebrows in surprise.
He thought to himself that this Wu Liuguang was quite different from his parents.
He looks like a true gentleman.
Wu Xuan and his wife, Wu Xuan usually lives in seclusion, but every time there is a critical moment involving interests in the family, he must return to the scene.
Mrs. Zhao's love for money is all on her face. She knows how to hide it, but every time she hides it, people can see it.
Tsk.
Xingyue Pavilion was just in front. Ling Yutong turned his head and smiled softly at Wu Liuguang: "Master Wu, thank you for being willing to tell me this."
As for not letting Mrs. Zhao come? How is that possible?
Mrs. Zhao is an indispensable part of her plan.
Under the eaves of Xingyue Pavilion, as soon as Qi Yan took a step forward, he saw Ling Yutong and Wu Liuguang standing together not far away, looking like a happy atmosphere.
His steps paused slightly.
Ling Yutong didn't notice his subtle change in mood. After saying goodbye to Wu Liuguang, she went to shopkeeper Liu to check today's inventory.
Qi Yan was right, she really...should buy some.
Allocate part of yesterday's income to Shopkeeper Liu, and Song Yue and Shopkeeper Liu will arrange these chores.
She started a new day of consultation.
At this time, in the palace.
The Holy Master frowned: "Go and send some seasonal fruits to the Queen. The latest golden hairpins are also sent to the Queen for her to choose."
Happy and happy.
After making arrangements, he saw that His Majesty was still frowning, and his eyes seemed to be brewing with a violent and stormy aura, which made people's hearts tremble.
Thinking of recent events, Xifu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It seems that the Holy One has the Empress in mind beforehand, letting the Empress pick out any good objects first, but this specialness is only special in dead objects.
In terms of true love, it has to be Concubine Xian.
But the second prince... is really useless.
After the Lotus Lantern Festival, the second prince was banned again. This time, not only was he banned, the emperor also punished him by copying books and memorizing lectures.
That posture seemed to be trying to push the second prince's growth and nurture him into a talented person.
As the person closest to the Holy One, he is the first to know about all His emotional changes.
Recently, His Majesty's temper is like a volcano that can erupt at any time, it's scary.
And the root cause of all this...
An Nanhou.
The feud between An Nanhou and the Holy Emperor can be traced back to when they were still princes.
From the deep brotherhood to the fight for the heir, they stood on real opposites. After the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, Annan Hou retreated to southern Xinjiang, and then lived in peace for many years.
But there is an undercurrent beneath the calm.
Over the years, others did not know, but he knew that the Holy Emperor had never forgotten his secret rivalry with An Nanhou.
This time, the long-standing conflict between them escalated.
And the Qi family was once again involved in the turmoil.
One wave after another, the Qi family, which had just been renamed, was sent a letter by the court's admonishing officials to get closer to the Marquis of Annan.
If it were just a simple statement, the death of Qi Ce, the second son of the Qi family, was revealed, and an insider said:
Qi Ce died on the battlefield to save Marquis Annan.
And when the team returned to Beijing with Qi Song Jinying's bones, he also chose not to leave because of the tense war in northern Xinjiang, and stayed under the command of Annan Hou.
The remonstrator's words were extremely sharp.
The Qi family had no old friendship with Marquis Annan in the past. They had always been loyal to the Holy Lord. So why did Qi Ce choose to fight alongside Marquis Annan at a critical moment?
If you must contact us retroactively.
One generation further up in the Qi family, those are the true supporters of Marquis Annan!
But with the death of our ancestors, these things are rarely mentioned.
Xifu remembered it clearly. At that moment, when the admonisher finished speaking, the Holy Master's face immediately fell.
There was a frightening coldness on his icy face.
All civil and military officials in the palace were quiet.
The remonstrator's intention was to put it clearly on his face: "Qi Ce deliberately approached Annanhou, and the Qi family chose another master to restore Annanhou's former glory"!
As one of the few insiders, Xifu knew that back then, in the battle to seize the throne, An Nanhou overpowered the emperor, who was still the prince.
If there hadn't been that accident...
The current position of the Holy Father may need to be replaced by someone else.
"Qi family, how are you doing lately?"
The cold tone brought back the mind that was addicted to joy and happiness.
He hurriedly replied: "The Qi family has been doing well recently. It's just...Qi Yan seems to have taken a leave of absence and hasn't been to the school grounds for three days."
"Miss Ling... took over the Qi family's abandoned shop and started selling rice noodles in the city... and also provided free medical treatment to the people, specializing in difficult and complicated diseases."
"But in just three days, the Qi family's shop has made a lot of money, and now the door is gilded, but... Miss Ling doesn't seem to show up anymore."
The Holy Father frowned deeply.
There was a trace of disgust in his eyes.
"The Qi family is a general's residence, and it can be said to be a well-known family. Even if the children in the family are not biological, they should learn etiquette and rules from childhood. How can a woman be exposed to the public and manage the store business?"
"Making money? Your hands are stained with the smell of copper, but you still want to help the world and practice medicine?"
"absurd."
"Even if the Qi family is short of money, can't they afford to hire a worker to manage the shop? It would be too ugly to let a woman appear in the public eye."
Xifu buried his head deeply.
He knew that the Holy One would criticize him.
Although the people of the Zhou Dynasty were open and open, the merchants were still the lowest class.
When Miss Ling went to manage the shop, in the eyes of all the nobles, she was devaluing herself and willing to fall.
There was silence for a moment.
The same news and similar discussions were carried out by various nobles. The nobles did not know about the war situation on the border.
But with the new news in Beijing, Ling Yutong was almost laughed at as a joke.
Even the Qi family is subconsciously looked down upon.
At this time, a large family was sitting across from each other in Qi Mansion.
Mrs. Qi said deeply: "In Kyoto right now, no one in the nobility laughs at us, and among the people, no one disrespects us."
