Chapter 178 The capital is too scary
"I came back to tell His Majesty that I will be sleeping with my sister these days."
After saying that, he held his head high and left.
"Su Peisheng, do you believe what Concubine Hua said?"
"What did the emperor say?"
Yinzhen shook the bracelet in his hand for a long time without replying.
After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Nian Shilan did not return to the Yiku Palace or go to the Changchun Palace, but went to the Imperial Garden.
"My queen, why do you have to embarrass yourself like this? At worst, let's just go all the way~"
"Songzhi, if I had the memory of my past life, maybe I would really attack the emperor, but now, none of the subsequent events that my sister told me about have happened, and our Nian family is still fine. That's enough. If the world is in chaos, how can you and I live in peace?"
"The threat posed by the Nian family to the emperor is getting smaller and smaller. My sister and I have been working hard to get the emperor to focus on governing the country. As long as the Nian family is safe, I am willing to do whatever it takes."
"Songzhi, now I just want to wait for the opportunity to leave this golden cage. Do you have any ideas about your future?"
"Wherever the queen goes, I will go there."
"Silly girl, if I leave the palace, I will definitely not see the light of day for the rest of my life. If you follow me, won't that harm you? If you find someone you like, I will recognize you as my sister and marry you off in style."
"My lady, I will never leave you for the rest of my life."
"Forget it, let's talk about it later. When you meet that person in the future, you may not say that. Then I will make fun of you."
"My lady, I will not let you have such an opportunity."
Changchun Palace
"Hongshi, what are your plans next?"
"Mother, I brought back several boxes of broken diamonds that foreigners didn't want this time. I think we can use them on our clothes. I'm sure they will sell for more money."
"Also, mother, are you going to open a restaurant and a weaving shop? I wonder if you plan to open them in the capital or in other places. If you need to go to other places, your son is willing to do it for you."
"Of course." Su He asked Cuiguo to take out all the papers in the cabinet.
"This restaurant in Beijing serves hot pot, but I plan to make some new dishes in the Jiangnan restaurant. I have never been to Jiangnan, so when you have time, go there and take a look at their restaurant design style, dishes, and taste."
"This weaving workshop is in cooperation with the imperial court. I plan to set up similar factories in the northwest and northeast, hiring disabled soldiers and their families to ensure that our brothers on the battlefield can wear warm clothes."
"If we can cooperate smoothly with Junggar, the winter for the soldiers will be much easier."
"And there is the gold mine of the imperial court. I plan to ~"
"Mother, please wait a moment. I am not very smart. I cannot digest all the words you have said at once."
Su He tapped Hongshi's head and said, "You, don't underestimate yourself. Mother thinks you have a talent for business."
Hongshi smiled sheepishly, "Thank you, mother!"
"Okay, there's no rush for business matters. What I want to say is all on those papers. Take your time to read them."
"Things have to be done one by one. It will be tiring in the early stages, and you need to go through it bit by bit. In the later stages, it is time for you to integrate and utilize all the resources at your disposal. If you do well, it will be much easier in the later stages."
"Hongshi, leaving Elizabeth aside, you are old enough to get married. Do you have someone you like?"
"Mother, I will listen to you."
Su He shook her head helplessly, "Hongshi, you are the ones who live your life, so you should naturally choose someone who you like. As long as the person you choose has no problem with character, mother will stand by you and support you."
"But my mother's choice must be good."
"Hongshi, Elizabeth has a point that I agree with very much, that is, we need to get along with each other. Even if we fall in love at first sight, once the passion fades and the beauty ages, how long can the love last?"
"Mother knows you don't like this one, you can still marry someone else, but look at your father's harem, which woman is living a happy life?"
"It's not easy for women in this world. They don't have the ability to make a living, and they have many constraints and shackles. They can only hope to marry a good man, but how many can get their wish? Everyone goes from being full of joy to being covered in scars."
"Mother, I understand. I know everything. I will never be the kind of person who hurts people's hearts."
When Su He saw that Hongshi's eyes were filled with tears, she knew that he must be thinking of his own mother.
"Hongshi, I believe in you, but I don't want you to be hurt by others, so you need to learn to distinguish and open your eyes. Don't listen to what others say, but see what she does. The most important thing is to feel it with your heart."
"If you like a girl and can't make up your mind, tell mother and she will help you with the advice."
"Yes, son, I remember it."
Su He thought about it and decided not to speak.
[Anyway, it's still a few years before Concubine Ying enters the palace. In this life, the clever little Yunzi is by Hongshi's side, so there's no chance that she'll fall for Fatty Ju's concubine.]
[Forget it, find an opportunity to let Hongshi go to Qingliang Terrace to meet that noble lady Ying. If they like each other, they can get together quickly. Don't do it like in the drama, hurting both yourself and the lady.]
Hongshi:!!! I have fallen in love with the emperor's concubine, this is impossible, too terrible, too terrible! Is someone trying to harm me? No, no, I can't stay in the capital anymore.
Su He took out a bunch of scrolls from the cabinet next to the small couch, "These are all selected by your Empress Hua for you. Take a look and see if there is anything you like and want to get along with."
Hongshi looked at two and then stopped, "Mother, I'm afraid that the daughter of this rich and powerful family will not like someone as dull as my son. If she likes me, it's probably because of my status. I don't want to get married now, so let's talk about it later."
"Hongshi, you are not stupid, it's just that everyone is good at different things. Because of your identity, there is nothing wrong with that."
"Let me give you an example. If a woman says, 'This man likes me because I'm beautiful,' is that wrong?"
"Mother, do you mean that appearance, temperament, and talent are the same as family background, wealth, and status?"
"Yes, people live in the real world and naturally have to face real problems."
"Everyone in this world thinks that merchants are lowly and that they are full of money, but who can live without money? Why don't those high-ranking officials feel that money stinks when they are corrupt? Is there anything in life that can be separated from money?"
"What my mother wants to tell you is that although you chose to be a merchant, you have provided job opportunities for the people and increased the country's tax revenue, and you have also made great contributions to society and the country."
