Red makeup against the world

Chapter 287

The prince looked gloomy, looked at Master Du who came in and said: "Is this true?"

Master Du nodded: "I sent people to inquire early in the morning, and the servants who came out to buy from An Guogong's mansion all said that Mrs. An Guogong recognized Miss Xu in the old year."

"Boom!" With a loud sound, the prince slapped suddenly, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table jumped up.

He said angrily: "Mr. An, you don't know how to flatter me! I think it's his honor to think highly of him. He has repeatedly rejected it. Is it because he wants to go to Queen Cao's side?"

Master Du persuaded: "Based on what my subordinates see, An Guogong is timid. When the former emperor was alive, An Guogong's mansion stood on the side of King Ruyang, and it turned out that the current emperor ascended the throne. It must have left them with lingering fears. Get out of the way."

"I am the orthodox crown prince, how is it the same as the original King Ruyang?" The prince was annoyed.

Now among the four princes, Duke Ding is Empress Cao's natal family, Duke Zhong is only loyal to the emperor, and Duke Ping is fatuous and incompetent.An Guogong was the only one left, but he was a coward who refused to give up.

Counting in detail like this, even if he is the crown prince, there is not a single government behind him to support him.

The crown prince Fu forehead, since Qian Yang Wang's life and death are unknown, his money has been cut off again, it is really difficult both at home and abroad.He couldn't think of a way to break through the current predicament.

What about the prince?His father was in the prime of his life, and he, a prince without strong backing support and no source of money, was just an empty shell.

Even the emperor father, if the first emperor hadn't made the decision to give Ding Guogong's eldest daughter as the crown prince and concubine to consolidate his power, how could he have successfully ascended the throne?Even if he doesn't want to admit it in his heart, he can't deny Empress Cao's help to the emperor's enthronement.

……

In Jiashanfang, Xu's house.

With a joyful expression on his face, Xu Wenmin hurried in and went straight to the yard where his father was.

"Father!"

Xu Changzong raised his head from the account book and asked, "What's the rush?"

Xu Wenmin smiled and said, "Big happy event!"

As he spoke, he took out an official document from his sleeve, handed it to his father and said, "Today, Erfang is handing over this document to me. My son still can't believe it, it's actually true!"

Xu Changzong took a look and laughed loudly: "My Xu family is finally here!"

It was clearly written in the document that Xu Changzong was appointed as the master book of the Luoyang government-run brocade workshop, and he was in charge of the weaving and tribute books of silk weavers.To put it simply, it is to manage the household registration of silk weavers in the Luoyang jurisdiction.

This position was finally thought of by Dali Temple Minister Ju Lihui scratching his head.

The emperor asked him to draw up a compensation statement for those who were implicated innocently and imprisoned in the case of the emperor's heir.

The Zhen family is easy to deal with, the person in prison is just a steward, and he is an imperial businessman himself, so it is enough to reward some gold and silver to show the emperor's favor.

The man in charge of the Xu family was imprisoned, and the compensation was light and he couldn't explain it.In the palace, the words of Liu Zhaoyuan, who was being favored, were spread again, saying that he would do a salvation for the prince who died young, and asked him to think carefully.

But the Xu family is only a businessman, and they cannot be given official positions anyway.He has considered empty titles, dismissed officials, and even lords, even if it is a special case, it is not appropriate.

After some difficulty, he remembered that the Xu family was a big silk family in Jiangnan Road, and he heard that their properties in Jiangnan had been sold out.It just so happens that there is a government-run brocade workshop under the banner of Jingzhao Mansion. It would be a good idea to go there to be a master book, not an official, but also related to the Xu family's industry.

Sure enough, the compensation clause was submitted, and the emperor approved it with Zhubi.

Xu Wenmin was happy to see his teeth but not his eyes. The prison for his father and son was not in vain. He said with a smile: "Fang Zheng said that this matter is a compensation statement ordered by the emperor himself, just to make up for our innocence. Losses in prison."

Xu Changzong kowtowed on the ground excitedly: "The emperor is wise! The emperor is wise! Long live the emperor!"

The father knelt down, and the son was no exception. Xu Wenmin quickly fell to the ground and shouted long live three times.

The position of the chief bookkeeper is just in time for the Xu family.

After they were released from prison, Mrs. Xu handed over the bank certificate delivered by the He family to Xu Changzong.These days, although he was sick, he was thinking about the future of the Xu family.

All the property in Jiangnan Road has been sold. Considering the friendship between my family and the He family and the family style of the Xu family, it is natural that I can't get over the difficulty, so I will redeem the property.Therefore, we can only find other ways.

With the He family's 300 million taels of silver in hand, as long as you choose the right business, with the experience and reputation the Xu family has accumulated over the years, it will not be difficult to operate.

The silk flower workshop that Xu Wanzhen built by herself is not bad. Maybe the Xu family can go the way of textile manufacturing, such as silk flowers, silk fans, ready-made clothes, custom clothes, etc.Although there are "clouds" pearls and jades in front, Xu's family can take the high-quality route when it comes to small things such as silk flowers and silk fans; when it comes to tailoring tailor-made clothes, they can take the civilian route.

The plan in Xu Changzong's heart is roughly the same.The Xu family has been dealing in silk fabrics for many years, and they have such a good partner as the He family, so they have inherent advantages in raw materials.The only difficulty is that there is a lack of skilled craftsmen who are proficient in this way.

Didn't someone give you a pillow just as you were about to doze off for this appointment?
In this way, Xu Jiaxing is expected.How could the father and son not be excited?
……

Jiangnan Road, Suzhou Sun Family.

When Sun Zhitao received the letter from the capital, his heart was full of sadness and joy.

Since Xu's family went to the capital, he has been silently following the news of the capital.

The case of murdering the emperor's heir was concluded. Although there was no imperial decree, after Shi Jieyu was demoted to a commoner, and then died of dystocia, and the news spread that the three clans of the Shi family were exiled for three thousand miles, everyone with a discerning eye knew about the case The real culprit was Shi Jieyu, and the emperor was really angry.

Today, he finally got the news that Xu's father and son were released from prison.

After thinking about it, he grabbed the letter and walked to his mother's yard.

"What? Are you going to the capital?" Mrs. Sun exclaimed.

Sun Zhitao nodded: "Mother, my son wants to go to 'Songxi Academy' to study."

"Songxi Academy." Mrs. Sun understood in a blink of an eye, "So you haven't given up on Miss Xu's family yet?"

Mrs. Sun said earnestly: "The Xu family has sold all their properties, and there is a lawsuit. My son, you are going to be an official career in the future, and marrying Miss Xu will help you a little bit?"

Sun Zhitao handed the letter in his hand to Mrs. Sun, and said in a deep voice: "Your majesty is wise enough to distinguish right from wrong. The Xu family father and son have been released from prison without guilt. My son understands that without her company in this life, even if a high-ranking official has to be a steed and ride, there is no one else." What's the point? What's more, Tu Shanzhang of "Songxi Academy" is her great-grandfather. In the eyes of people who Tu Shan grew up in Shilin, if I get one and a half points, how can I say that she is of no help to me? ?”

He made this distinction, and it is well-founded.

Mrs. Sun looked at him blankly, and sighed: "Fool! You think clearly, but the matter of retiring was brought up by the Sun family. How can the Xu family accept you again?"
