Reborn to be replaced? Remarried to the royal palace, raising children and training husband

Although both of them are daughters of Marquis Dingyuan, the gap between them is so obvious!

One is petty and narrow-minded, while the other is well-mannered and magnanimous, fully embodying the demeanor of a mistress of a noble family!

Ji Yinli couldn't help but think: If he had married Gu Qinlan, she would surely not be bothered by Hu Jingrong's marriage, and would not have argued with him!

Thinking back to the beginning, Gu Qinlan was originally chosen, but later the wife of Dingyuan Hou suggested that Gu Qinlian's age was more suitable for him, and...

Gu Qinlian's mother was still alive, and her status in the Marquis's Mansion must be more superior, so he agreed to change the bride.

Thinking back now, Ji Yinli felt extremely regretful and wished he could slap himself in the face!

How could this pearl be mistaken for a fish eye?

Gu Qinlan was unaware of Ji Yinli's inner struggle. After the matter was resolved satisfactorily, she led everyone into Taibai Tower.

She then sent someone to return the wild ginseng to the young man and prepared an extra ten taels of silver as compensation.

"What happened today was caused by my failure to discipline you strictly, which led to you suffering injustice. Although this amount of compensation is small, it will serve as compensation for you."

However, the young man resolutely refused the ten taels of silver as compensation. He hugged the wild ginseng tightly, bowed deeply to Gu Qinlan, and said sincerely:

"A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. I only take what belongs to me."

Gu Qinlan looked at the young man in front of him. Although he was wearing clothes full of patches, they were washed spotlessly and looked exceptionally neat.

His words and actions revealed a neither humble nor arrogant temperament, and he did not show any fear after meeting her, which was really impressive.

Gu Qinlan showed great interest in this young man and asked with a smile:

"From what you said, it seems that you have read books before?"

“I had some opportunities to study, but unfortunately my family fell into poverty and I abandoned my studies.”

When mentioning this, a hint of loss and emotion flashed in the boy's eyes.

After a brief pause, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned his gaze to Gu Qinlan again, asking seriously:

"Princess, since you have handed over the staff and manager of Taibailou to Jingzhao Yin, I wonder how you plan to deal with the future of Taibailou? Do you plan to close it or recruit new staff to continue the business?"

In fact, Gu Qinlan had not thought deeply about this. After all, today's incident happened suddenly, and she had not considered these details when she came.

But what surprised her was that the boy actually asked this question. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked curiously:

"What happens if we continue to operate? What happens if we choose to close?"

The boy did not hesitate at all and immediately began to analyze it carefully.

"Taibailou is located in a prosperous commercial district. It would be a pity if it were to close. The reason why its business was so bleak in the past was not only because of the negligence of the shopkeeper, but also because there were several restaurants competing with it."

"For example, Shuxiangyuan is mainly for the people, with affordable prices for ordinary people; while Chunjianglou attracts dignitaries, and its dishes are exquisite rather than quantitative, which is suitable for banquets between officials."

"Compared with Shuxiangyuan and Chunjianglou, Taibailou lacks any outstanding features, so it is understandable that its business is bleak. If it wants to change the current situation, Taibailou must find new features as a breakthrough point."

While the boy was expressing his views, he did not forget to observe Gu Qinlan's reaction from time to time.

Seeing that she remained calm and did not show any displeasure, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Qinlan's heart was already surging as she listened here. She was shocked by the extraordinary talent of this young man.

He not only has insight into the crux of Taibai Tower, but can also come up with practical suggestions and strategies. He is truly a rare talent.

Lou Donglei, who was standing next to him, was more familiar with the details of Taibai Tower than Gu Qinlan, so he was also extremely amazed when he heard the young man's precise analysis.

Lou Donglei's gaze was fixed on the young man, with a gleam of appreciation for talent in his eyes. He couldn't help but turn his gaze to Gu Qinlan, vaguely revealing his wish that she could recruit this talent under his command.

Gu Qinlan naturally understood Lou Donglei's intention, but she did not react immediately. Instead, she turned her attention back to the young man.

Her eyes finally fell on the boy's clenched fists and the wild ginseng in his arms. A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she asked curiously:

"How did you know that I would come to Taibai Tower?"

"what?"

The young man raised his eyes with a little surprise, and met Gu Qinlan's penetrating eyes. Then he lowered his head a little shyly, twisting his body a little uneasily.

Gu Qinlan stared at the young man and naturally caught the hint of hesitation that flashed across his eyes.

She couldn't help but smile. Although the boy was very smart, he was still young and lacked some maturity.

"You are indeed smart. You deliberately waved the wild ginseng in front of Shopkeeper Yang and others. Isn't your purpose to lure them into greedily taking your treasure for themselves?"

"You deliberately created conflicts not only to attract my attention, but also to test my background."

"You not only want to attract my attention, but also want to confirm whether I am worthy of your loyalty, right?"

At first, Gu Qinlan did not think about it in this direction, but the coincidence of all this was too obvious.

Just think about it, if a young boy from a poor family holds rare wild ginseng that can change his destiny, how could he openly display it in front of everyone?

Most people would choose to hide such treasures properly, but the young man did the opposite. How could one not suspect that there was something fishy going on?

Perhaps the young man had already seen through Manager Yang's greedy nature, so he deliberately set up the trap just to win a future for himself.

The young man was deeply shocked after hearing Gu Qinlan's analysis. He knew that he could no longer hide it, so he knelt down without hesitation, kowtowed to Gu Qinlan, and said sincerely:

"I didn't mean to plot against you. I just...wanted a path to success!"

Having said that, the young man looked up at Gu Qinlan again. The previous tension was gone in his eyes, replaced by unswerving determination and ambition.

He had experienced wealth and had also tasted the bitterness of poverty, and he knew that only by being in a high position could one look down on the crowd and truly live out one's dignity.

Gu Qinlan stared at the young man in front of her. When he looked into her eyes, her frankness and determination made her smile and ask:

"Then why did you choose me?"

"I don't intend to hide it from you. At first, it was me who chose Prince Duan."

The boy scratched his head shyly and spoke bluntly.

The God of War of the Western Wei Dynasty is a hero in every man's heart. He longs to follow Prince Duan, but unfortunately he is not a martial artist and he has a younger sister at home who needs to be taken care of. It is almost impossible for him to join Prince Duan's team.

The reason why he chose Gu Qinlan was because she was not only the Princess Duan, but also the bridge to his dream.
