Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

  What is the Liu family best at?

   Naturally, they are engaged in mining operations. Although the Liu family is also involved in other businesses, the foundation is still in the mines.

   If nothing happened, it would be fine to run the business for two more generations based on the relationship with the Ministry of Household and the prestige accumulated.

   But now the reputation of the Liu family has plummeted, and their opponents are taking advantage of the fire. Now that most of the mines in the hands of the Liu family have been recovered, it is estimated that the rest will not be retained for long.

   Although the Liu family is rich in assets, even if they don’t run a mine, they can run other businesses, but in the end it’s too bad.

   Whether in terms of income or status.

   They are doing things for the imperial court by operating the mines, and their status is still higher than that of the imperial merchants. At least if the disciples of the Liu family want to become official, it is very easy as long as the requirements are not too high.

  For example, Wei Cong was sent to the mine to do the ninth-grade documents. Although he was only ninth-grade, he was still an official, and his identities were different.

   But now that they have lost the mines and started other businesses, they are merchants. What if the imperial court approves them as merchants?

   Is it really going to fall from the scholar class to the merchant class?

   Hearing Gu Jingyun's words, Master Liu couldn't help but feel hot, and quickly cupped his hands: "Please also save my Liu family."

   "You Liu family are serving the imperial court, and there is no mistake in official business, but it is a loss of reputation, which makes the superiors unhappy, and the opponent takes the opportunity to attack."

"Exactly," Mr. Liu nodded fiercely, and he couldn't guarantee anything else. There is absolutely no one who is more fair and dedicated to the operation of the mine than their Liu family, "It's just that now everyone in the household thinks that I am a virtuous person. It's a loss, so I don't want to think about my Liu family anymore."

   And the contacts that their Liu family had managed for generations were not used at this time, and the Liu family was almost losing ground. He did not expect that his wife could drag the Liu family down to this point, and his heart was like a fire, complicated.

   He also had doubts in his heart. If he had dealt with his daughter and gave her the justice she deserved, wouldn't the Liu family have become like this?

  It is a pity that there is no "if" in the world, the big mistake has been made, and he can't think of any other way except to seek a breakthrough.

   If you can catch up with Gu Jingyun, then the Liu family might really find a chance to survive.

  Gu Jingyun can indeed give him life, but life is not for nothing.

   "I asked the Ministry of Homeownership, and now only two mines in Shanxi and Henan have not been identified as candidates for mining, and the rest of the mines have been allocated. I think it should not be difficult to operate these two mines based on your Liu family's experience."

   Mr. Liu's eyes lit up, "The Liu family's stewards and long-term workers are still retained. As long as there is a mine, we can start the operation immediately, and we will live up to the trust of the court and adults."

   He paused, looked up at Gu Jingyun, gritted his teeth and said, "At that time, 15% of the profit from the mine will be recorded in the name of the adults."

  The mine has always been violent, comparable to salt tea, so after 40% of the cost, almost 60% of the profit can be made, of which about 20% to 30% is turned over to the court every year, depending on the conscience of the miners and the requirements of the court.

   The remaining 40% to 30% is the profit of the miners. But the Liu family has always been cautious, preferring to earn less by themselves, and never give the court a handle, so the share handed in has always been a little more than the court requires.

   is usually between 25% and 30%, which means that Mr. Liu’s profit from operating the mine is finally shared equally with Gu Jingyun.

   Mr. Liu is indeed as cautious as he knows, but unfortunately he is too confused in family affairs.

  Gu Jingyun nodded without any objection, it was a deal with him.

   "Then let's get started, I'll hold down those two mines for now, and then go to the Ministry of Household to apply for it after you improve your reputation."

   Mr. Liu responded quickly. He used to think that it was difficult for Mrs. Liu to enter the ancestral grave, but now that there are interests entangled, it seems that it is not so embarrassing.

   He bowed to Gu Jingyun and stepped back. Gu Jingyun looked at his back and sneered. He was so polite and humble towards outsiders, but why was he so indifferent to his wife and children?

  Gu Jingyun doesn't understand Master Liu. In his opinion, the closest people in the world besides his mother, uncle and aunt are his wife and children. People outside can do whatever they want.

   Mr. Liu is just the opposite. He has good reviews outside, but in Mrs. Liu's heart...

  Nanfeng pushed the door and came in, bowed his head and said, "Master, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and mochi you want are all wrapped up."

   "Go back to the academy." Gu Jingyun personally took the two packets of dim sum.

   This is for Baolu. Since she became pregnant, her appetite has not only improved, but her taste has also changed. Her favorite dessert in the past was chestnut cake, but now she prefers sweet osmanthus cake and mochi.

  Gu Jingyun returned to the academy with the dim sum. Li Baolu just finished a class, so he pulled him directly to find a stone table and sat down while eating and asked, "What did Mr. Liu say?"

   "He agreed. Recently, he will find a good day to move Liu Shuo to his ancestral grave. Mrs. Liu will be buried next to Liu Shuo after the execution."

  Li Baolu was surprised, "He really agreed? I thought it would be difficult."

   Gu Jingyun smiled, took out the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said softly, "Now the Liu family's reputation is very bad, he will naturally agree to improve the reputation."

  Li Baolu raised her eyebrows and looked at him suspiciously. She always felt that it shouldn't be that simple. Although she brought it up at the time, she just felt that she had to try it anyway, but she couldn't guarantee the possibility of success.

  Gu Jingyun looked at her calmly, and even bent down and kissed her eyes, asked with a low smile, "Am I good-looking?"

  Li Baolu's face flushed red, she glanced nervously from side to side, and said in a low voice, "This is in the academy, pay attention."

  Gu Jingyun nodded with a smile, "Okay."

  Li Baolu can no longer remember what she suspected.

  Gu Jingyun also changed the subject at the right time and asked, "How are the students from your Wei family?"

   "School is suspended," Li Baolu stuffed a mochi before sighing, "I heard that Mrs. Wei is going to give her a marriage. Anyway, she didn't even come to the academy after the holiday."

   "If you do something wrong, you will be punished. It's just marriage. It will never be worse than Ning Sihan's possible end."

  Li Baolu nodded, which was why she ignored it.

At that time, she took the initiative to stay with Ning Sihan and just had the idea of ​​giving her eldest brother a good impression, but later she wanted the two of them to meet and cultivate their relationship. After knowing that Wei Zhuo planned to cook cooked rice, not only did she not stop her , and also deliberately left to create opportunities for Wei Zhuo, which shows the viciousness of his mind.

  If they weren't next door then...

  Li Baolu felt a chill in her heart whenever she thought of the consequences.

"Master and mother are already on their way back," Gu Jingyun racked his brains to come up with this slightly pleasing thing seeing her in a low mood, "I just received the letter, and it is estimated that they will be in a few days. We're going to the capital."

  Li Baolu's mood turned cloudy, but she couldn't help rolling her eyes and said, "Who knows if they will run to other places in the middle?"

Hearing this, Gu Jingyun also felt helpless. Bai Yitang and the others set off from Yazhou to return to Beijing in February, but they walked around for more than three months without arriving. .

"Uncle means to get married as soon as they come back, and they can go wherever they want after they get married. So don't think about Mrs. Liu and Ning Sihan all day long, but think about the marriage between master and mother. ."

   "Then let's count the days, and ask for an appointment as soon as they come back." Li Baolu discussed with Gu Jingyun enthusiastically.

  There are a lot of things needed to prepare for a wedding, so Li Baolu really didn't have much free time to pay attention to these two things. Even if she remembered it, Gu Jingyun could always find something to divert her attention.

   So before you know it, these two things fermented, fought, and ended in a place that Li Baolu could not notice.

   Driven by interests, Master Liu moved very quickly. It only took three days to persuade the clan elders to agree to move Liu Shuo to the ancestral tomb, and also agreed to let Mrs. Liu be buried in the ancestral tomb.

  Master Liu entered the sky prison again to meet Mrs. Liu.

   Mrs. Liu still looked like that, but Lan Liu, who lived beside her, was in a daze. When she saw her father, she couldn't help but jumped over to grab the railing and cried emotionally, "Father!"

  Master Liu was taken aback, "You, why are you here?"

  Lan Liu's eyes dimmed, "Isn't my father here to see me? Daughter, my daughter has a hard time here!"

This is the Heaven Prison, of course it will not be very good. Mrs. Liu has Li Baolu's face, and the jailers are very polite to her. They can have a basin of hot water to wash them every day. Although the food is not good, it is not too bad. , As for the Lan Liu family, the Liu family hates her, the Lan family wants to leave her, and the Huang family is too busy to take care of her, so she will not have a better life.

   In addition, there is Mrs. Liu to stimulate her every day. It can be said that Lan Liu's life these days is more uncomfortable than in prison.

  Although the prison is a multi-person room, and this is a single room, she would rather go back in time, she would rather live in a multi-person room.

   Mrs. Liu also got up and stood there looking at their father and daughter with a half-smile.

  Master Liu took a deep breath, patted his daughter's hand and said, "Father will give you some care afterward, so that you can go in peace."

  Lan Liu weeps, she has already confessed, and it is unrealistic for her father to save her, she is satisfied if she can live a better life in the last days.

Only then did Master Liu look at Mrs. Liu, his mouth opened and he said dryly: "I have persuaded my relatives to choose a good day to move Brother Shuo to the ancestral grave, and wait for you to be buried next to Brother Shuo, mother and son. You can also be a companion underground."

   Mrs. Liu was stunned, her eyes widened slightly, she stared at Master Liu for a while, and asked dryly, "Who mentioned it to Master?"

  Master Liu was a little embarrassed, "Can't I be the one who mentioned it?"

   Mrs. Liu looked at him sneeringly.

   Master Liu turned his head slightly and said abruptly, "This is also for the Liu family's good, and this is good for the Liu family's reputation."

   Mrs. Liu felt that something was wrong. Her IQ has risen rapidly in the past month. Did she let her, a murderer, be buried in her ancestral grave just for the sake of fame?

  The Liu family is not the only Liu family, let alone Master Liu! Master Liu must have paid a lot for their mother and son to be buried in the ancestral grave, and why did he pay those prices?

   She didn't feel that he had deep feelings for their mother and son, or that he was suddenly ashamed, he must have gained greater benefits.

   Involuntarily, she remembered what Li Baolu had said when she asked Li Baolu to wait a little longer and would reply to her before the execution.

   Mrs. Liu's eyes became hot, and she couldn't help covering her mouth and crying.
