Chapter 358 Talented Girls (Please Subscribe)
Even though the old lady was well-informed, she couldn't help but be stunned after learning the specific thoughts of Prince Zhongshun from Aunt Xue's mouth.
Who would have thought that Prince Zhongshun could be so crazy in order to control himself!
When I first heard about it, I thought it was unbelievable. The old lady’s first reaction was that it was impossible!
After thinking about it carefully for a while, the more I thought about it, the more likely I felt that I could succeed!
After all, Prince Zhongshun already controls several large islands in the outer sea and is qualified to establish a vassal and a country outside. While the Supreme Emperor is still alive, it is impossible not to give this opportunity now!
Once Prince Zhongshun's plan succeeds, the old lady cannot even imagine how violent the reaction of the other princes in the royal family will be.
Which royal person doesn't want to become a powerful vassal king with a fiefdom?
Even though the domain is offshore and you have to develop and build it yourself, it's not a big deal.
It's better than being trapped in the capital, subject to various restrictions like being in prison, and living a depressed and oppressive life, right?
In addition, the old lady is keenly aware that the royal princes can establish vassal states in the outer seas. Can they, the top noble forces, follow them to establish vassal states in the outer seas?
In short, after the old lady knew the specific thoughts of Prince Zhongshun, she was very confused and depressed for a while.
"Prince Zhongshun has made such a start, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future!"
The old lady sighed: "Such a thing is really unbelievable!"
"There is nothing we can do about this. Prince Zhongshun also wants to find a way out!"
Aunt Xue said something fair: "Although I haven't read much, I know the life of a member of the royal family. It's not as easy as I imagined!"
"There are too many restrictions. No matter whether you are motivated or not, you are still severely restricted!"
"Ordinary people will try their best to find a way out, let alone the children of the royal family who are rich in resources!"
"In my opinion, if there were fewer princes in the capital, there would probably be a lot less trouble!"
Having said this, he lowered his voice and said: "The old lady should know who are the proprietors behind those unattractive industries in the capital!"
How could the old lady know?
The largest gambling house, the largest brothel, the largest pawnshop, and even the owners behind the largest dental shop in the capital are all princes from the royal family.
Otherwise, the royal family is the most ruthless lender in the capital?
It's just that the people they lend money to are only wealthy people, and they can't directly harm ordinary people.
These are all gray industries that make a lot of money quickly. There are a lot of troubles in them, and they are naturally troublemakers. Things happen almost every day.
To be honest, if there were fewer royal bosses in the capital, the overall environment would be much peaceful.
"I just feel a little uncomfortable with it!"
The old lady smiled bitterly and said: "If Prince Zhongshun really achieves his goal, the pattern of powerful people in the future will probably change a lot!"
"The old lady also has ideas?"
Aunt Xue reacted immediately and said with a smile: "With the strength and energy of Rong Mansion, we can indeed join forces. At least Prince Zhongshun will not deny him face!"
Of course she was referring to Jia Huan, who had already known some inside information from her son Xue Pan.
To be honest, Prince Zhongshun reached this stage thanks to Jia Huan's bewitchment.
Of course, if it is not completed, it is called confusion, but now that there is hope, it is called far-sightedness.
The Xue family paid a heavy price for this!
They provided money, food, and people, and even organized a fleet of ships. It can be said that they have done their best.
But despite this, Prince Zhongshun's attitude was only lukewarm. In contrast, he treated Jia Huan much more enthusiastically, almost treating him like a distinguished guest.
Such different treatment, doesn't it mean that Jia Huan was born in Rongfu?
Aunt Xue's idea is naturally a bit extreme, but it is also in line with the mainstream of this era.
The Xue family has paid such a high price, and it is not realistic to expect Prince Zhongshun to get a share of the Xue family's offshore interests.
In fact, what the Xue family wants is very simple, that is to restore the official status of their ancestor, ‘Ziwei Sheren’!
But now it has come to a point where Prince Zhongshun has not fulfilled his promise, and everyone in the Xue family is very anxious.
But he didn't dare to take the initiative to ask. You can imagine how anxious he was!
"Yes, if Rong Mansion can have a fiefdom on the outer sea, then Baoyu will be completely worry-free from now on!"
The old lady sighed: "Let's take a look at the situation first. If there is a chance, I will definitely not miss it!"
These words made Aunt Xue curl her lips in private!
Co-authored, the old lady was thinking about increasing Jia Baoyu's future bargaining chips. She also didn't think about whether this person could hold on and whether he had the ability to manage the territory well.
Sometimes, Aunt Xue didn't even know what the old lady was thinking.
There are obviously other more promising grandsons, so why do you only favor Jia Baoyu?
But, judging from Jia Baoyu's current behavior, it was clear that he was an Adou who couldn't help him.
Of course, she would not express these thoughts easily.
"There will be a chance!"
When she said this, she felt quite perfunctory.
At this moment, a maid came to report that the old concubine of Nan'an was here.
Aunt Xue just stood up to say goodbye, without any idea of getting to know Princess Nan'an.
At present, the old concubine of Nan'an has almost become a laughing stock among the officials and people in the capital.
How hard she worked to save Prince Nan'an back then, how embarrassing she is now!
As for Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it has declined rapidly, and is basically not very willing to deal with it. There is a strong sign of being rejected and isolated by the powerful people in the capital.
This is the fact, quite cruel and realistic!
Especially now that Jia Huan has won the battle, it makes Prince Nan'an even more useless.
Aunt Xue left Rongqing Hall and did not return to Xue's house immediately. Instead, she took a detour to Yingchun. Sure enough, Xue Baochai and all the sisters were also there.
Seeing Aunt Xue coming, the girls hurriedly stood up to greet her.
Yingchun's face was slightly red. Although Aunt Xue came to visit from time to time, she still felt a little embarrassed. Her future mother-in-law was too enthusiastic.
"Mom, why are you here? Aren't you talking to the old lady?"
After Xue Baochai sat down, he asked curiously: "How about going to my aunt's house?"
"Do you dislike me for interrupting your private chat?"
Aunt Xue rolled her eyes and made all the girls smile awkwardly. Then she said angrily: "The old lady from Nan'an is here, shouldn't I take the initiative to avoid her?"
Although there was no sinister tone, the girls present could not help but have a certain thought in their hearts: Princess Nan'an was not welcomed by Aunt Xue.
It is indeed unpopular. Who dares to get involved with Nan'an County Prince's Palace easily at this time?
If one person is not good, he may be remembered by the current emperor.
Do you really think that the current emperor will be indifferent to the things that Princess Nan'an did before?
It's just that I'm unreasonable and it's hard to get entangled with an old woman.
But Princess Nan'an has brought shame to today, and may even be recorded in the history books. This cannot be explained clearly by simply offending her.
At this time, only old relatives with good relationships dared to come into contact with the old concubine Nan'an, while the rest were afraid to avoid her.
Someone like Aunt Xue has a pretty good attitude and acts like a pure stranger.
If it were someone with a bad temperament, she would probably have to ask the old lady to enjoy herself even though she was rejected.
Among the girls present, Tanchun naturally had the most complicated mood!
Who told the old lady of Nan'an to let her go out to help with the 'marriage'?
Even if Mrs. Wang and the old lady concealed it, the Rong Mansion was a big sieve, how could they possibly hide it?
Tanchun has just started, but I am very scared!
Fortunately, both Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai were understanding people and told her not to worry as soon as possible, such a thing would never happen.
Just the fact that Jia Huan and Jia Cong didn't agree was enough as a reason.
The same is true, Tan Chun also regretted going to Nan'an County Prince's Mansion!
It should be said that the contemporary Nan'an County Prince does not have no daughters, and there are quite a lot of them.
Whether she is a direct descendant or a concubine, why do you treat your own girls as treasures and then harm other girls? It’s really a sinister person’s heart.
I heard that the Prince of Nan'an County had no choice but to evict the concubine from the family, and I felt gloating in my heart, but I didn't expect that something happened again.
Aunt Xue has a good temper. If she really wants to get along with the girls, it will be easy.
No, she had no intention of leaving. She just sat down and chatted and laughed with the girls, and even recounted the conversation she had just had with the old lady.
If nothing else, Aunt Xue’s social skills are amazing!
What she had said to the old lady before would definitely not be easily communicated to the younger generation if it were placed on other people.
Unless those in power in the family carefully cultivate the next generation of heirs, they will not easily tell their children about such a major event.
It was as if their dignity would be damaged if they said this.
Aunt Xue has no such scruples. She is not the one who calls the shots at home anyway.
Sure enough, the girls suddenly became interested and started chattering about the information Aunt Xue told them. They were all in high spirits and were very happy.
Lin Daiyu simply drew a map of the sea area on the white paper and pointed out that this was the hometown of Prince Zhongshun in the sea, and what kind of development plans he had in the future.
Now, not to mention the other girls, even Aunt Xue was dumbfounded.
The look in Lin Daiyu's eyes was completely different.
Although Lin Daiyu said modestly that these specific information were informed by Jia Huan, Aunt Xue still felt that Lin Daiyu was quite extraordinary and must have her own understanding and opinions on the things she just described.
Besides, Jia Huan's ability to tell her these things represents his absolute approval.
In other words, Jia Huan and Lin Daiyu's emotional foundation is quite good!
Gee, why didn't you notice it before?
The fire of gossip in Aunt Xue's heart burned brightly, and then she sat quietly and listened to the girls arguing fiercely based on the chart information provided by Lin Daiyu.
Just by listening to it, I can clearly feel the talents of the girls!
