When Hong Peiju met Chen Zhuoxin, the eldest son of Chen Guogong's mansion was still Chen Jia.
When Hong Peiju saw Chen Zhuoxin, she knew that Chen Zhuoxin was ambitious. Even if he could not become the heir apparent, Chen Guogong's love for Chen Zhuoxin's mother and son would definitely find a way out for Chen Zhuoxin.
In this way, he couldn't hold the lap of the emperor's relatives and some noble princes, but the one he could hold in Chen Zhuoxin's arms was better than nothing.
At that time, compared with Hong Peiju, Chen Zhuoxin did not lack money or status. What he lacked was respect and recognition.
Huang Tian always paid off, and Hong Peiju and Chen Zhuoxin soon became close friends who talked about everything.
Hong Peiju even gave all her women to Chen Zhuoxin, but unfortunately Chen Zhuoxin looked down on Su Jin.
Moreover, at that time, Chen Zhuoxin had to pretend to be stoic and diligent in his studies. Although he was living and drinking outside, he never stayed in a brothel.
In the mansion, Chen Zhuoxin was determined not to have sex with each other, and even the maids were not allowed to get close to serve him.
For a time, he also gained a good reputation.
Here, Hong Peiju secretly asked Su Jin to give birth to Chen Zhuoxin's child quietly.
Hong Peiju felt that with such a handle in hand, Chen Zhuoxin would take care of it no matter what.
Chen Zhuoxin later became the eldest son of Chen Guogong, and then became Chen Guogong, and for a time he ranked among several great princes.
Hong Peiju was overjoyed and felt that she had finally made the right bet.
But what Hong Peiju didn't expect was that Chen Zhuoxin would fall out of favor faster than turning over a book!
As for Hong Xianglin’s son, he doesn’t even care!
After becoming Chen Guogong, Chen Zhuoxin rose through the ranks step by step. Later, he won the Holy Heart and even acted as the agent of the Ministry of War.
At the same time, Chen Zhuoxin revealed his lustful nature. Although he married the head of Qiqing County as he wished, there were more and more aunts in the house! A bunch of concubines and concubines!
Hong Peiju thought, it's no wonder that Chen Zhuoxin didn't take Hong Xianglin seriously. Rare things were more valuable than a legitimate concubine, let alone an outsider.
Maybe Hong Xianglin is not the only one out there!
Of course, there is another aspect, that is, Hong Xianglin is too incompetent!
Even if he is not as outstanding as Zhou Huan and others, if Hong Xianglin can be as shrewd as Yin Hong, the steward of Chen Guogong's mansion, I am afraid Chen Zhuoxin will think highly of him!
However, Hong Peiju has always felt awkward about Hong Xianglin and was unwilling to pay too much attention to him.
That ignorant and stupid woman Su Jin thought that she was favored by Duke Chen and the Marquis of Huai'an, and that her son was a rare genius in the world!
With the power in hand, Chen Zhuoxin has more and more younger brothers, and naturally there is no shortage of Hong Peiju.
However, Hong Peiju knew that the main reason was that she was not of much use to Chen Zhuoxin.
It wasn't until Ji Min left the Duke Li's Mansion according to the order, and after a lot of open and secret fighting in the court, that the big pie fell into the hands of the Marquis of Huai'an!
Chen Zhuoxin had just begun to include Hong Peiju in his small circle.
Chen Zhuoxin asked Hong Peiju to test the "killer poison" on Liu Bisheng and asked him to test the Ji sisters, which was equivalent to Hong Peiju's "voucher of surrender."
But obviously, Chen Zhuoxin and Concubine Jiao Xian were not satisfied!
Hong Peiju was also very aggrieved!
You don't tell everything about what you think or know. You always reveal half of what you say and leave the other half behind, leaving people confused.
Let’s just talk about this “Killer Gu”. You don’t have to tell me where it came from, but you have to tell me why it didn’t exist, right?
Is there any harm?
Is there an antidote?
What to do if it floods?
Don't tell him anything, just let him find someone to use "Killer Gu"!
As a result, the Hou Mansion was turned into a mess!
Also, when it comes to Duke Li’s Mansion, Duke Chen’s Mansion and the royal family have a common secret.
But the secret is to say nothing, just say that this secret is said to have been made by three top figures from the Sogu Clan, from Shenmeng Valley, Qiyao Ridge, more than a hundred years ago.
This secret is summarized in four lines of poetry, one line is known to the royal family, and one line is known to Chen Guogong’s family.
There are two more sentences that are known to the public of Liguo.
However, the blood memory of Duke Li’s family has been sealed!
The easiest gap to open is Ji Min!
However, how to unlock the secrets of Ji Min is also in the poem!
This is back again!
However, Hong Peiju is not very discouraged. At least, on the issue of Ji Min, he and Chen Zhuoxin are on the same starting point!
Especially now, Ji Min is in the Marquis of Huai'an.
No matter what, he finally got involved with the Holy Emperor, the royal family, and the Duke of Chen Guoli family on this matter!
The back hall of "Good Neighbor".
After listening to Li Mi and Zhou Huan and Zhou Biao telling the story of the Marquis of Huai'an's fortune, Ji Jun and Ji Min couldn't help but feel emotional.
Ji Min’s quiet road,
"This is knowing what is happening but not knowing why."
Ji Jun thought, but it was not true. Seeing that a girl entering the palace could gain wealth, his own family also sent girls to the palace.
However, this girl was not properly taught how to avoid risks in the palace, how to maximize benefits, how to act at the right time, and how to conserve strength when necessary instead of blindly running rampant.
It was just that the Hong family at that time believed that as long as a woman was young, beautiful and talented, she could win the Holy Heart.
I don’t know that the battles in the harem and the court were not much different in terms of brutality.
I don’t know that the competition among the women in the harem, whether it is fighting for favor or the throne, all requires scheming and planning, the support of family power, and the guidance of knowledgeable people.
A girl who has never experienced any wind, frost, snow and rain entering the palace rashly is like taking a little tiger that has been raised in a cage for a long time and suddenly releasing it into the forest.
Apart from being helpless and being at the mercy of others, the way out is really limited.
Especially since I am not that smart, nor am I that good at learning and adapting. I am really like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth.
It seems that for many things, one cannot just take them at face value.
Ji Jun remembered that in his previous life, he had a distant cousin in his family.
My cousin's father-in-law was the director of a large local factory, and later he was transferred from the position of director to the director of the largest administrative district in their city.
My cousin's eldest brother stayed in this factory after graduating from engineering college.
In the mid-to-late 1980s, there were very few college students, and those with science and engineering backgrounds were willing to take the technical route.
But his elder brother-in-law is very talented. He can talk, sing and dance, and has a cheerful personality.
The people in the factory's sales department tend to be older and generally have low levels of education.
At that time, the factory's performance was good, and the sales department needed to deal with people from all over the world, and sometimes even received foreign guests. Therefore, the quality requirements for sales staff were getting higher and higher.
As the son of the former factory director, my cousin and his uncle volunteered to work in the sales department.
Therefore, his uncle became the first college student welcomed into the sales department since the establishment of the factory, so he naturally paid special attention to it.
Moreover, my uncle's social skills were very strong, and he quickly opened up a lot of sales for the factory, and was soon appointed as the head of the sales department.
My eldest uncle is the head of the sales department of a large factory. My father-in-law is the district chief.
My cousin opened a restaurant in the early 1990s, and it was very prosperous for a while!
At that time, his uncle often went to his brother-in-law's restaurant to entertain clients, signing orders with a stroke of his pen!
My cousin was very complacent for a time, thinking that he had a lot of business talent, which soon expanded.
Soon someone became jealous of my cousin's restaurant.
So he encouraged his cousin and said,
"With our abilities and business talent, we have to go south to earn money from foreigners! How can we earn three melons and two dates here? How many foreigners can we see here? How much money can you make if you work so hard?"
My cousin was already in a state of confusion at this time. He had no idea that his success in the catering business here was not because of his outstanding business talents. He didn't know that there were many people in this soil. He came to patronize his restaurant because he took care of his father-in-law and his uncle's face.
My cousin just thinks that he has a sharp vision, chooses a good location, and chooses a good chef. He even thinks that he has a few so-called signature dishes. With these signature dishes, he can be invincible in the world and become a catering business. The boss among the bosses in the world.
So, my cousin refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on going south.
Within a year, because he was not accustomed to the climate and the land, the restaurant he opened in the local area was not an exaggeration. He quickly lost all his savings!
In the mid-to-late 1990s, more than one million in savings were lost!
As a last resort, my cousin returned to his hometown. At this moment, I couldn't even get two thousand yuan in cash out of my pocket.
In order to make a living, my cousin knew that he had to be down-to-earth. He started by setting up a roadside stall selling pancakes and fruits and selling tea eggs, making money every penny. Now he has a small shop.
Of course, my cousin's father-in-law had passed away for many years at this time, and my eldest uncle had also retired.
The old fair-weather friends, the friends who were close friends and sworn to each other, are all gone.
Even friends who had visited his restaurant many times, ate and drank with him, and praised him as a "business wizard" and "catering leader" turned a blind eye when they passed by his stall.
Ji Jun later thought that there was a saying "mistaking platform for ability" that might be referring to my cousin.
However, whether my cousin is arrogant or unable to recognize reality, in the final analysis, he only sees the surface of things.
Ji Jun remembered that he had a senior brother.
After working for more than ten years, the senior brother got into a dispute with the leader at a local hospital and became discouraged.
Just at this time, the senior brother's classmates in the dormitory came back from the south and tried their best to encourage the senior brother to go to his hospital.
He said that the hospital where he worked was newly established and was recruiting doctors. It most needed young, capable and experienced doctors like Senior Brother.
Moreover, this hospital in the south attaches great importance to talents, with good treatment, comfortable climate, good geographical environment and humanistic environment, and so on.
When the eldest brother was in college, he was far superior to his classmates in the dormitory, both in terms of study and talent.
Seeing that my classmates were enjoying themselves and prospering in the south, I couldn't help but feel both convinced and moved.
He felt that if people like his classmates could be so proud and successful, then he could only be better than him, or at least no worse than him.
So the senior brother quit his job here and followed his classmates to the south.
But after arriving there, many problems were discovered.
First of all, the local housing prices are much higher than the city where he originally lived.
For example, the house price in the city where he originally lived was several thousand per square meter, but in that place, the average starting price of a house is ten thousand or twenty thousand, and the better ones are even tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
Another problem is children's learning.
Because there are great differences in teaching methods and learning content between provinces.
The children also face problems such as being acclimatized, having certain language barriers, and being unable to integrate well into local school life.
Another problem is that in new hospitals, because wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and many new problems have been encountered.
But at this time, the senior brother does not have an escape route like his cousin, and it is impossible for him to return to his original unit.
Because he had already bought a house and a car with a loan in a southern city.
The mortgage and car loans cannot be cut off, so the eldest brother is in a dilemma.
At this moment, the senior brother realized why his classmates in the same dormitory were more relaxed and happy.
Because my classmate’s father-in-law was a big boss and bought a house locally early, my classmate’s children were sent to the south to go to school when they were in kindergarten.
Being so carefree, to be honest, I can feel free and at ease wherever I go.
