The mother and daughter talked about their experiences after separation.
In fact, they both know what happened to both parties.
However, the exchange of letters is still fundamentally different from face-to-face sharing.
"Back then, thanks to the two secret recipes you sent us, we were able to integrate into the Northern Dynasty faster and better."
"Yu Wensong is an old fox. Although he intends to make friends with the Gu family, he still knows how to observe and evaluate."
"He did run to the riverside to greet us and escorted us all the way to Pingcheng."
"But your father and I both felt that Yu Wensong was more polite than sincere at that time!"
Mrs. Xiao is not an ordinary housewife, she is a princess of the former dynasty and the mistress of the Gu family.
She has a basic understanding of people's hearts and government affairs.
Therefore, Yu Wensong's speculation cannot be hidden from the Xiao family.
"Of course, this is normal! After all, we are homeless dogs on the run. Even if Yu Wensong wants allies, he must first determine whether our Gu family is qualified!"
In addition to the talents and fame of the two brothers Gu Yi and Gu Ji, the songs and books brought by the Gu family are also one of the criteria for measurement.
The formula for purified rock salt and the drawings of horseshoes sent by Gu Qingcheng directly raised Gu's value to the highest level.
The Gu family is the Gu family, with a profound heritage and countless secret recipes!
"In addition to Yuwensong, there is also Mu Shao!"
"Oh, by the way, Mu Shao is Mu Xiu's father."
Mrs. Xiao continued.
Gu Qingcheng nodded, "I know! I have heard of Mu Shao's name. He was one of the leading generals in the battle of Jiangling."
Compared to Yu Wensong's smoothness, Mu Shao seemed much more "irritable".
He is more in line with the world's imagination of a warrior - a warrior who is fierce and brave, but less strategic.
Well, to put it in layman’s terms, it means a simple mind but well-developed limbs!
Of course, no one is truly stupid who can secure the position of General of the Zhu Kingdom.
Mu Shao's "reckless man" is probably just a character.
Relying on this "brave and foolhardy" recklessness, Mu Shao won the late emperor's favor.
When the late emperor was alive, Mu Shao's power and prestige were higher than that of Yu Wensong.
Unfortunately, the late emperor died and Yu Wenquan took the opportunity to ascend to power.
Mu Shao, a reckless man who "didn't know how to adapt", became a thorn in Yu Wenquan's side and a thorn in his flesh.
However, the character cannot be destroyed, otherwise, Mu Shao's reputation will be discredited, and the entire Mu clan (Qiu Muling clan) will also be implicated.
Mu Shao could only swallow it hard.
Gu Qingcheng: ...This is probably the so-called "character design for success and character design for failure".
So, don’t mess with people easily.
It's easy to tip over!
"Mu Shao was forced to commit suicide. Fortunately, the Qiu Muling clan did not fall. His legitimate son still inherited tens of thousands of troops!"
Madam Xiao didn't know that Gu Qingcheng was complaining secretly and continued to talk about the changes in the Northern Dynasties.
"Mu Shao continues to be a reckless man who doesn't understand current affairs, just for the sake of the Qiu Muling family's troops!"
As for Mu Xiu, he had to leave the Northern Dynasty because of his father's death.
Mu Shao was definitely not loving to Mu Xiu, but after all, he was a close father and son.
Mu Shao is the general of the Zhu Kingdom. Even if he doesn't take care of her, he can still protect Mu Xiu in disguise.
Once Mu Shao passed away and his younger brother became the head of the family, Mu Xiu's life could only be imagined.
There are only two ways to go before Mu Xiu:
First, continue to find a backer, stay in the Northern Dynasties, and be a leader that everyone looks at.
Second, stay away from the Northern Dynasties and start over.
He chose the latter.
After coming to Lingnan, especially after meeting Gu Qing, Mu Xiu realized deeply: I made the right choice!
Rather than dislike him, Junior Sister Gu's sister admired him very much.
After having low self-esteem for twenty years, even if Gu Qingcheng said "you are so beautiful" to her face, Mu Xiu
I don’t dare to have any delusional thoughts——
When a little girl who is about to get haircut compliments an adult man on how good-looking he is, she actually means "I like you" implicitly. .z.
But, that little girl is Gu Qing and Gu Sanniang.
As for himself, he is just a humble person born from Hu Ji.
He didn't even dare to fantasize secretly!
He was satisfied that his junior sister didn't treat her as an alien and didn't dislike him.
"What? Junior sister, you, what did you say?"
Therefore, when he returned to Gu's Wubao and was invited to the study by Gu Qingcheng, Mu Xiu was stunned after hearing Gu Qingcheng's question.
"Brother, I heard that your uncle is a famous businessman in the Western Regions?"
Gu Qingcheng seemed not to notice Mu Xiu's disbelief, and thoughtfully repeated his question, "And you once helped the Mu family with some general affairs!"
Taking care of general affairs mainly involves handling the Mu family's many businesses.
In ancient times, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were valued.
Merchants are definitely at the bottom.
When the imperial court signs for civilian husbands and laborers, it first dispatches criminals, merchants, and son-in-laws.
Being able to be classified with criminals shows how low the merchant's social status is.
Of course, merchants are also different from merchants.
Mu Xiu is not really a businessman, he is more like a big shopkeeper of the Mu family.
After all, the Qiu Muling family was a first-class family in the Northern Dynasty. Even if Mu Xiu wanted to "take it upon himself to commit suicide," the Qiu Muling family could not afford to lose this person.
On the surface, he is still the eldest son of the Mu family, but out of filial piety, he helps the elders in the clan handle some common affairs.
As a concubine of Hu Ji, Mu Xiu not only inherited his biological mother's appearance, but also inherited his maternal family's talent for doing business.
At first, some elders of the Mu family asked Mu Xiu to take care of the general affairs out of humiliation.
However, Mu Xiu performed amazingly.
He can calculate the accounts clearly without any calculation.
All kinds of business methods are self-taught without a teacher, and you can learn them at your fingertips.
In less than three years since Mu Xiu took over the Mu family's property, the assets have doubled several times!
"After all, Hu Ji is the bastard who is good at these **** jobs!"
Some people in Qiu Muling's family clearly received dividends from Mu Xiu's management, but they still disliked them again and again.
And Mu Xiu's expertise in business has become a strong evidence that he is indeed despicable.
Mu Xiu:......
If someone from the Mu family or anyone else said to him, "You have learned the true story of your great-grandfather," Mu Xiu would definitely think that the other person was humiliating him.
But, at this moment, the person who said such words was Gu Qing.
She's his junior sister!
Mu Xiu recovered from the shock and looked deeply at Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng's eyes were still so bright and dazzling, without ridicule or malice.
On the contrary, she seemed very happy, even with a little bit of expectation.
What are you looking forward to, little junior sister?
Do you expect me to be a business wizard?
Gu Qingcheng: ...Of course I look forward to it!
You are my royal butler and the God of Wealth in the future!
"Brother, you must also know that our Gu family has some property."
"Sugar, salt, and grain businesses..."
As Gu Qingcheng spoke, she neatly took out a stack of account books and pushed them directly in front of Mu Xiu.
Mu Xiu:...T-Have you taken out the account book now?
Junior sister, how can you be so gullible?
