The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Chapter 204 Respect to the future head of the Gu family

Qi Meizhi looked at Eunuch Zhang with a gloomy face. She knew that he had been a little distracted recently, but as her personal attendant, this was not a big problem at all. She was the Queen Mother and she had this privilege.

However, now that things are like this, if she doesn't give him a few words, I'm afraid he will cause even greater trouble for himself.

"Flies don't look at seamless eggs. If you have done nothing wrong, why would people look at you? I have told you a long time ago that you must be careful when doing things, so that others may misunderstand you. It would be better for you to directly explain the arrogant and domineering one. If you show your face to others, who will you find fault with if you don’t?”

Eunuch Zhang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Qi Meizhi scolding him like this. As long as his master is still willing to scold him, it means that he has passed this test and the good life will continue.

"Your Majesty, this slave will definitely change his ways and won't let them catch his pigtails again. I also ask Your Majesty to give this slave another chance to change his ways."

He knelt down and looked at Qi Meizhi with a pleading look on his face.

Qi Meizhi didn't want to do anything to him. After all, he still had to do a lot of her dirty work. Without this right-hand man, many of her things would come to a halt.

"If you have made mistakes, correct them, but if you don't, you will be encouraged. I am not an unkind person. You must be careful in your words and deeds in the future. You represent the dignity of the Ai family when you go out."

"Yes, I have remembered it."

Qi Meizhi just allowed him to stand up and motioned for him to come forward and give her a squeeze on her shoulders.

Eunuch Zhang walked slowly behind Qi Meizhi and carefully massaged her shoulders with moderate force. When he saw Qi Meizhi humming with enjoyment, he spoke in a low voice.

"My dear, those rotten scholars, are you going to let them go like this?"

When he thought of those who attacked him, he felt itching with hatred, and he would never compromise with these people easily.

Qi Meizhi's anger, which had subsided a little, rose again, "Sooner or later, I will find a chance to deal with them."

As soon as Eunuch Zhang heard this, he knew there was something going on, so he stopped applying eye drops.

Gu Deyin paid close attention to the court's movements, and naturally knew immediately that Eunuch Zhang had been joined by the officials. This was a good start.

She continued to write another secret letter to Liu Ruohe, and it was time for the second step.

Based on her understanding of Qi Meizhi, she would not be willing to let people around her get involved and would definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate. She just had to wait patiently for the opportunity.

As for the temporarily frustrated part of her business, she was not in a hurry to deal with it. The Gu family could afford to compensate for these losses.

Recently, her father has started to let her do the grain business. This is a big deal. Qimeizhi is not the queen mother who was the regent of the previous dynasty. She still can't reach out to this business that is related to people's livelihood, so this area is almost affected. can be ignored.

After actually taking over the core business, she discovered that the Gu family almost monopolized half of the world's grain. The amount of money left her stunned. She began to understand why Qi Jinzhi wanted to take advantage of her. It was probably because of this.

The Gu family's dispatching ability is second to none. His father has taken this business to the extreme, and in the dispatch of grain from the north to the south, without the cooperation of the Gu family, the Ministry of Household Affairs will not be able to successfully raise military rations.

This business was too big. When she realized this, she was worried and had a strong desire to challenge. She understood what it was.

This is the lifeblood of the people.

After lying in a chair for a while, she decisively got up and went to find her father and brother.

As if aware that she would come, Gu Jianghuai and Bo Qingya were drinking tea across from each other.

As soon as Bo Qingya saw her, he smiled and waved to her.

"This is the new Yuqian Longjing this year, try it."

Gu Deyin sat over and saw her step-brother pouring tea for her. She picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The rich tea aroma instantly spread in her mouth, and she sighed with enjoyment.

"Good tea."

Hearing this comment, Gu Jianghuai and Bo Qingya both smiled.

After chatting about tea for a while, Gu Deyin finally got down to the topic, "Dad, Brother Ya, this business is so big that it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the court..."

When Gu Jianghuai and Bo Qingya heard this, their expressions did not change drastically, which was expected.

"How is my son doing?"

Hearing his father's question, Gu Deyin smiled and said, "Dad, you've already swept your tail, why are you asking me what I'm doing?"

Her father never did business that would make people lose their heads, so no one except the head of the family could see the real ledger of the Gu family's grain business. In other words, from the outside, the Gu family was an imperial businessman. , but not the richest man in the world.

Gu Jianghuai laughed happily after receiving his daughter's approval.

"Since you are determined to become the head of the Gu family, you must take up this responsibility. Not only must you protect the safety of the Gu family, but also let everyone in the world have food to eat. Our Gu family does not make those shady money."

He never engages in unscrupulous business. Even though he controls half of the world's food trends, he never allows food prices to be raised, and sometimes even takes the initiative to balance food prices so that ordinary people can afford to eat.

"Yinmei, although we are businessmen, ranked last among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, we also have our own moral principles and persistence in our ideas. This is the conscience of a businessman."

Bo Qingya smiled and added that these words may be ridiculous. They are not emperors. What does the rise and fall of the world have to do with them?

However, a person must live up to his conscience, otherwise he is no different from a pig or a dog?
The rise and fall, everyone is responsible.

Gu Deyin was instantly in awe of her father and brother. She was determined to follow the business path. Initially, she wanted to gain power. Only in this way could she have some control over her own destiny. But now she has a deeper pursuit, and the path of her father and brother is also the path she wants to take.

"Dad, Brother Ya, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job in this business and never let this business fail in my hands."

She said almost as if she was swearing. Gu Jianghuai smiled comfortingly. At this point, he felt that there was a successor.

Gu Deyin's eyes suddenly heated up when she saw her father's smile.

She thought about her previous life, when her second uncle took over the Gu family. Since then, food prices have been rising year by year. She was in charge of the Xu family's middle income fund at that time. For this reason, she didn't know how much money was put into it, so that the Xu family's group White-eyed wolves eat well.

Later, there was a drought one year, and food prices almost skyrocketed. It was also from that year that Xiao Mingzhang began to control food prices. A series of policies were introduced one after another, and the Gu family began to go downhill from that moment on.

By the time she died, the Gu family was no longer as prosperous as it was when her father was alive. It was just that the broken ship still had three nails, so it could still hold on.

It is estimated that not long after her death, the Gu family will collapse. With Xiao Mingzhang's ruthlessness, once he finds out that the Gu family is the culprit of the soaring food prices, he will definitely take action on the Gu family.

Those in power would not miss this opportunity to use the Gu family's financial resources to fill the national treasury that was empty due to disaster relief, not to mention that Uncle Gu was too greedy and brought it upon himself.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and became even more disgusted with Uncle Gu. He was trampling on her father and brother's lifelong ideals.

The Gu family must not be allowed to fall into the hands of people like Uncle Gu.

"Dad, I will carry forward the Gu family."

She said firmly to her father.

Hearing this, Gu Jianghuai and Bo Qingya looked at each other and told Gu Deyin in advance, just to let her know what they were doing, and they did not want her to expand the business.

The Gu family is already a giant. If it expands further, the court will notice and there will definitely be no good things for the Gu family.

"No, my daughter, have you gone astray? As a father, I don't want you to work too hard..."

Gu Jianghuai quickly persuaded his daughter to change her mind. She didn't need to work too hard and just maintained the status quo.

Gu Deyin shook his head and said, "No, dad, you have your business philosophy, and I also have mine."

Only by controlling the lifeblood of the world's economy can she truly stand at the top. In this way, no matter who wants to touch her, they have to think carefully.

Not even Xiao Mingzhang could give her such a sense of security.

Instead of believing in a man's illusory love, it is better to believe in the strength in one's own hands. This is the basis for a real life.

Gu Jianghuai's eyes blinked, and he saw something called ambition in his daughter's eyes.

Is this his Gu Jianghuai's daughter?

Yes, his daughter never let him down.

He suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly, "Okay, this is my daughter, Gu Jianghuai. My daughter, you can do whatever you want, but your father is behind you, and I will take care of all the big things for you."

Bo Qingya didn't say anything, but raised the tea cup and drank tea instead of wine, "To the future head of the Gu family."

Gu Deyin accepted the offer of tea from her sworn brother without hesitation, and also offered tea in return.

"So Brother Ya, you have to live a long life so that you can see me climb to the top of the mountain and see all the mountains below."

This frank conversation made the family of three more united.

Compared with Gu Deyin, who is full of lofty ideals, Liu Ruohe's life has been difficult recently.

Eunuch Zhang, who was frustrated outside, found fault with her as soon as he returned to the house. He scolded her for several hours, but she could only endure it without daring to speak back.

Liu Ruohe had never felt so aggrieved, but no matter how painful it was, life would go on.

When Eunuch Zhang saw Liu Ruohe trying to get up, he immediately stepped on her vest and said, "You bitch, who allowed you to get up?"

Liu Ruohe had no choice but to please him carefully and freely. After all the good words, Eunuch Zhang finally calmed down a little and allowed her to get up from the ground.

She didn't dare to look at the wounds on her body, so she knelt and crawled towards Eunuch Zhang with a flattering look on her face.

"Father, I have a plan, I don't know whether to tell it or not..."

Eunuch Zhang saw that she was deliberately trying to get Qiao, and immediately grabbed her chin viciously and said.

"You bitch, you still dare to play tricks on me. It seems like you don't want your little bitch to live anymore, right?"

As if thinking of something, he smiled sinisterly again.

"I almost forgot that you still have a good brother who is on the run. What? You don't want him to live? That's easy to do. Our family will allow you and your family to report to the underworld."

When Liu Ruohe heard these threats, she was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat.

Her disgust for the moody Eunuch Zhang has reached an unprecedented level. Originally, she would delay Gu Deyin's orders as long as she could, but now, she has changed her mind. The sooner this disgusting thing dies, the better.

She licked her lips and said with a charming smile, "Father-in-law, how dare I? You praise me too much, but I was afraid that I might be careless, so I hesitated..."

Only then did Eunuch Zhang say "Hmm" with some satisfaction.

Liu Ruohe then continued, "Father, since it's not peaceful here in the capital, why not go out of the capital? When you get outside, you are like this, who else do you have to be afraid of?"

She gave Eunuch Zhang a thumbs up.
