Chapter 404
Gu Shaolin immediately suggested: "If the prince can persuade the emperor to relax the restrictions on businessmen, you can publicize it on the Voice of Sui..."

Naturally, Gu Shaolin had also seen Da Sui Zhiyin, and after seeing the font on it, he knew that the famous real Yunmeng was probably his cousin Ran.This also explains why King Ping married his cousin as his concubine.His Royal Highness Prince Ping was a rare talented man with both civil and military skills in the Sui Dynasty, so he naturally wanted to marry a real talented woman.It's not that Gu Shaolin is boasting, he doesn't believe that there is anyone in the Sui Dynasty who is smarter than Sister Ran.

Gu Shengwen didn't think too much about it, he only knew that King Ping supported business and was willing to make decisions for businessmen.If all businessmen in the world knew about this, they would definitely support King Ping very much.Therefore, he immediately praised: "My lord is far-sighted. Relaxing commercial restrictions will bring great benefits and no harm!"

Yang Yan said with a smile: "If this matter can be facilitated, it is natural to publicize it on the Voice of the Sui Dynasty."

After talking about business, Yang Yan asked about the studies of his uncle Wei Qingyuan and cousin Gu Shaolin.He just raised a few topics and got the two of them talking, and he basically understood their personalities.

An Ran said that her uncle is not suitable for being an official, but only for teaching, and Yang Yan deeply agrees.The little uncle's personality is too upright, so he can't get along well in the officialdom.In addition, he has read a lot of books, but he still lacks some practicality.In contrast, Gu Shaolin came from a family of merchants after all, so his speech and views on things are much smoother. Although he is not as good as Zhao Anqi, he can be regarded as a leader among the younger generation.

Therefore, Yang Yan praised immediately: "Shang Qiu's books are good, so why don't you just stay in Chang'an. Go to the Imperial College to study for a year, and take the exam the next year. It shouldn't be a big problem to get a top two."

Gu Shaolin was fine after hearing this, but Gu Shengwen stood up excitedly and bowed deeply to Yang Yan, saying: "Thank you, my lord, for your help!" Thinking that his family will also produce a Jinshi, and he will be promoted to the family of officials, Gu Shengwen was overjoyed.

Yang Yan said with a smile: "This is Shang Qiu's own ability. Although I am a prince, I can't bend the law for personal gain. At most, I can help recommend a few suitable places for him after the exam." After speaking, Yang Yan asked Wei Qingyuan again Said, "What is Mr. Wei's plan?"

Wei Qingyuan said: "This time I came to the capital for Sister Ran's marriage. At the beginning, Brother Qi's letter was vague, which made people worry. Now I know that Sister Ran has become a princess, and His Highness treats her well, so I can rest assured gone."

Wei Qingyuan was a person who never flirted with flattery, if it was someone else, with such a nephew and son-in-law, he would have to flatter him, maybe he would be a Jinshi in the examination next year.Even if he doesn't win the Jinshi, as King Ping, it should be a trivial matter for him to fill in the vacancy of a county magistrate!But he was fine, as if he didn't understand what King Ping said, and he said so much, but he didn't say a word for himself.

However, Yang Yan felt very comfortable when he heard it. This is something that only those who really care about An Ran can say!He nodded with a smile and said, "Sometimes being a rich man in the country is better than working hard in the officialdom."

Just now Yang Yan didn't address Gu Shengwen as Uncle, but now he addresses Wei Qingyuan as Uncle.Gu Shengwen was startled for a moment, but Gu Shaolin quickly understood.Thinking that King Ping valued his cousin so much, he was completely relieved.

At this time, An Qi finally came back.He greeted Dugu Kai at the door and came in, clasped his fists and bowed: "My subordinate Zhao Zixian has met His Highness."

Yang Yan said with a smile: "Excuse me, let's sit down and talk." He laughed again, "You are diligent, and you don't want to delay the Guozijian class for a day."

An Qi met with his uncle, uncle, uncle and cousin again, and then sat down.

When Zhao Shifu saw that An Qi was back, he wanted to say goodbye and go back. He sat in the same room with the prince and drank tea. He couldn't even speak. If he stayed, he would embarrass the princess, so he might as well hide in the house by himself!

Gu Shengwen didn't want Wei Qingyuan to leave with him, but Gu Shengwen still wanted to listen to the prince's advice, but seeing that Zhao Shifu and Wei Qingyuan had left, thinking that Prince Ping called Wei Qingyuan his uncle alone, he had no choice but to leave with him.

Gu Shaolin hesitated for a while and planned to leave, but Zhao Anqi took the initiative to keep him.

Yang Yan heard from An Ran that they grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and that her cousin was kind to her, so these favours, he would naturally have to be repaid by her husband, so he said with a smile: "Shang Qiu stays, we young people say Speak. An Ran once mentioned that you both grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and you also loved her so much, this king thanked you very much."

Gu Shaolin didn't expect Ran to tell King Ping everything. He was very surprised, but he quickly got up and saluted, "Your Majesty is serious, Shang Qiu is ashamed."

Yang Yan waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be formal, just talk casually as your relatives."

At the noon banquet, Yang Yan specifically told An Qi that it doesn't need to be too grand, just a little homely.Men and women are separated by a screen, with women seated inside and men seated outside.

The women can hear the sound of persuasion outside, but the men can't hear what the women are saying inside.After more than a year, it was rare for everyone to sit around and eat together, but for the sake of eating and sleeping, the women ate quietly, and even if they helped each other, they just looked at each other and smiled.I'm all ready to go back to my room after dinner so I can talk.

After the meal, Gu Wanniang took An Ran over and asked a few words alone.

Originally, when her daughter got married, she, as a mother, should talk to her about human relations, pregnancy and childbirth before marriage.But her daughter was married from the Shu Palace, so she never found a chance to say it.Now that her daughter is married, she naturally has to ask before she can rest assured.

It's just that such words are not so easy to say.She wanted to speak but stopped several times, not knowing how to ask.

On the contrary, An Ran saw her mother's embarrassment and knew what she wanted to ask, so she blushed and said, "Mother, I, my wedding night has a little day, we...haven't consummated yet..."

"Why is it such an unfortunate coincidence?" Gu Wanniang opened her mouth in surprise, unable to speak for a long time. "Then, what happened to your yuan pa?"

An Ran lowered her head, and whispered into her mother's ear: "Mother, that Yuan handkerchief is fake. Your Highness said that this will save a lot of trouble, and prevent the empress from doing bad things."
