Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

In Gu Yanshu's eyes, it was perfectly normal for Beijing to criticize Liu Ruxi.

This is the only way to awaken women's consciousness.

But for Liu Ruxi and even Liu Susu, this is obviously a terrible thing.

Before that, both Liu Susu and Liu Ruxi thought that as long as they could get the Heli book, everything would be fine.

Liu Susu was even thinking about Liu Ruxi's future life with Liu Ruxi.

Now Liu Ruxi has completely given up on the relationship between men and women, and has no thoughts of remarrying at all.

She also understands that it is impossible for her to live in the British government all the time.

Even if she and Ding Yibai reconciled, rather than being divorced.

But after all, this is not a glorious thing. Living in the British government all the time will inevitably affect the reputation of the girls in the government.

When she got married, the dowry was fairly generous.

Now use this dowry to buy a modest house in Kyoto or nearby, hire a few servants, and live a life of seclusion in the garden every day, which is not bad.

Liu Ruxi liked to grow flowers when she was not out of the cabinet, and she used to grow many rare varieties. After marrying into the princess mansion, she never had the chance to touch those favorite flowers and plants.

For the rest of her life, Liu Ruxi has a lot of time to do what she likes.

In Liu Ruxi and Liu Susu's vision, Liu Ruxi's life will get better and better in the future.

However, these remarks in Beijing are like a ruthless hammer, directly breaking all Liu Ruxi's illusions about her future life.

At this time, Liu Ruxi finally understood why Princess Li was so sure and why the people's mouths made Princess Funing succumb.

Rumors are like knives, although there is no blood, they can cut the most painful part of the heart, and the knife is fatal.

Seeing that there are more and more people in Beijing clamoring for the British government to hand over Liu Ruxi for severe punishment, and the voices of dissatisfaction with Liu Ruxi already existing in the British government are also getting louder .

The direction of speech in Beijing has also quietly changed.

The first person to stand up and refute was Miss Mei from the Hushi General's family.

Speaking of Miss Mei, she is quite famous in Beijing.

But unlike ordinary ladies who are famous in Kyoto for their "beauty", "talent", "intelligence", etc., the reason why this Miss Mei became famous in Kyoto is entirely because of her aggressive personality.

Miss Mei was one of the family members of the generals who entered Beijing with His Royal Highness Li Wang two years ago.

Perhaps because of growing up in the border for many years, this Miss Mei is completely different from the ladies in Beijing.

She never pays attention to the set of ladies' standards of smiling and not showing her teeth, and she doesn't even care much about the defense of men and women. She often fights with the soldiers under General Mei.

The character is carefree, never reserved.

When she first came to Beijing, Miss Mei restrained herself for a while, perhaps in order to integrate into the circle of noble ladies in the capital.

As a result, in less than a month, she had exposed her true character by beating up a dude who was molesting a civilian girl for a long time on the street.

The dandy in Beijing may not have much ability, but at least in terms of family background, he has never lost to others.

Miss Mei's beating directly hit the grandson of a first-rank official in the court, and the impact on his reputation can be imagined.

Miss Mei's reputation was ruined, and the noble ladies in Jingzhong who were not very familiar with her at first naturally respected her at a distance.

Ordinary gatherings, unless necessary, would not easily post to Miss Mei.

Miss Mei, on the other hand, didn't seem to care about this at all. Instead, after her reputation gradually declined, her life became more and more chic.

There is a long whip pinned to his waist, and he hangs out with some warriors all year round. If he is not used to someone who has done something excessive, he will definitely draw out the long whip and give him a good meal.

However, the great general of the hussars was not only a first-rank official in the court, but also his body was similar to that of His Highness King Li.

Regarding Miss Mei's behavior of "bullying men and women" in Beijing, the dandies she has dealt with are simply outraged and dare not speak out.

The same is true this time.

When Miss Mei was gathering with her friends, she heard people at the next table talking about Liu Ruxi, and after understanding the cause and effect.

Hearing that person's mouthful of "offensive", "shocking the world", "should be severely punished"... Dang Lian couldn't hold back the violent temper in his heart, and pulled out his whip to beat the person beside him.

He refused to give up after smoking, and pointed at the man's nose to scold him.

What about "Fuck your mother! It's immoral to be divorced? Why don't you men say that you are immoral when you go to brothels and change brides every night?"

"Also shocking the world? Only you, with long hair but short knowledge, empty age and no brain, feel shocking!"

"Severe punishment? I am familiar with the laws of Tianqi, but I don't know when there is a clause that prohibits marriage between husband and wife? Could it be that you just added it yourself?"

"You feel that what others have done makes you feel uncomfortable, so you want to punish severely? Damn! Miss Ben advises you to take a pee and take a picture of yourself first, to see if you are worthy!"

……

What kind of temperament Miss Mei has, other people are very clear about it.

Hearing this burst of scolding, and then looking at the wounded person on the ground, the person who was still clamoring to punish Liu Ruxi severely, as a warning to others, immediately shut his mouth, not daring to take a breath .

When Miss Mei came to Beijing, Liu Ruxi had already married into the Princess Mansion.

Therefore, for this Miss Mei, Liu Ruxi had only heard of her name, but never met her.

Originally, Liu Ruxi was still thinking about why Miss Mei would stand up and speak for her for no reason.

Hearing that General Hushi is a general under King Li's command, he immediately felt that Princess Li should have arranged this matter, and he felt a little more grateful to Gu Yanshu in his heart.

If Gu Yanshu knew what Liu Ruxi was thinking at this time, he would probably tell her:

Although your speculation seems reasonable, but thanks to the wrong love, this matter really has nothing to do with him.

Originally, Gu Yanshu did plan to arrange some manpower to guide public opinion.

After all, although those people were targeting Liu Ruxi, they also ran counter to Gu Yanshu's idea of ​​equal rights.

As long as they can win the public opinion this time, it will be much smoother to promote the idea of ​​equality between men and women in the future.

However, before Gu Yanshu could put these plans into action, he heard the news that Miss Mei was fighting against the Confucians in the teahouse, and beat the most loud people with her hands.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yanshu discovered that Miss Mei's actions brought him far more surprises than this.

Miss Mei took the lead as a striker, and those who originally thought the remarks were unreasonable gradually stood up and refuted them.

Miss Liu Er just couldn't bear the humiliation and asked for a divorce, which is reasonable, why should she be severely punished?

Why don't these people say that it is Princess Funing and Ding Yibai who cause the cause first and the fruit later?

Why not ask the Princess Mansion to call Ding Yibai out and punish him severely as a warning to others, instead of punishing Miss Liu Er who has already been tortured so much?

Just because Miss Liu Er is a woman, is she going to be treated like this?

If this is the case, then what is the reason?Where is justice?

As more and more people stood up to speak for Liu Ruxi, the two different voices gradually became even.

As the owner behind the Yaoyue Pavilion, Gu Yanshu could tell at a glance that most of the people who stood up to speak for Liu Ruxi this time were regular customers of the Yaoyue Pavilion.

Gu Yanshu used to be a person who would push the boat along with the flow, and when he saw such a situation, he simply contributed to it.

The two voices that were originally tied, under the impetus of this force, quickly decided the winner.

Those voices who clamored that the husband of Tianqi man was weak, and demanded that Liu Ruxi be severely punished as an example to others, gradually became less and less, until finally disappeared.

As these people stopped, another voice also gradually stopped.

Originally, Gu Yanshu wanted to take advantage of the victory to chase after him, but then he thought about the public opinion this time. In the final analysis, it was because of Liu Ruxi.

As for Liu Ruxi's matter, there has been a lot of trouble in Beijing for a long time.

Too much is too late, if you continue to entangle this matter, I am afraid it will arouse the resentment of the people.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanshu decided to let it go. It is not difficult to see from this incident that many women's thinking has changed greatly.

It will be much easier to make changes after this idea is formed in the future.

After the turmoil subsided, Gu Yanshu once again received an invitation from Liu Ruxi, inviting him to go to Guiyuan for a gathering.

This time Liu Ruxi sent an invitation to Gu Yanshu, the main purpose is two:

The first purpose, and the most important one, is to express gratitude to Gu Yanshu.

If Gu Yanshu hadn't given her some advice at the beginning, she might still be entangled with Ding Yibai.

Then there was Gu Yanshu's kindness to make Miss Mei stand up and help her when she was criticized by thousands of people.

It was only at this time that Gu Yanshu realized that Liu Ruxi had always thought that it was his arrangement that Miss Mei spoke up for justice.

While feeling slightly amused, he did not forget to tell Liu Ruxi the truth of the matter.

When she knew that Miss Mei's words were entirely her own thoughts, Liu Ruxi was obviously surprised, and the expression on her face even froze for a short time.

Afterwards, Liu Ruxi came back to her senses for a while, and a complex look of unknown meaning flashed in her eyes.

This look was too complicated, and Gu Yanshu couldn't see the meaning clearly, he could only faintly detect a trace of self-mockery from it.

Afterwards, Gu Yanshu heard Liu Ruxi say her second purpose for meeting Gu Yanshu today——

Say goodbye to Gu Yanshu.

Logically speaking, the relationship between Liu Ruxi and Gu Yanshu is far from being so cordial.

But Liu Ruxi left Beijing this time, and she doesn't plan to return to Beijing. Now that she has met Gu Yanshu, she should say goodbye.

Gu Yanshu never expected that Liu Ruxi, who was talking about buying a small courtyard in Beijing a few days ago, would make such a decision now.

Seeing the surprise in Gu Yanshu's eyes, Liu Ruxi looked down at the teacup on the table, and chuckled lightly:

"The matter of reconciliation and separation is too much trouble. If I continue to live in Beijing, I will inevitably have many inconveniences. If I don't leave here, I will at least be at ease from now on."

If possible, Liu Ruxi naturally didn't want to leave the capital.

This is the hometown where she was born and raised.

However, this reconciliation seems to be a complete victory for her, but in fact there are many hidden dangers inside.

There are more and more voices of dissatisfaction with her in the British government.

There were already two sisters in the mansion who were looking at each other, and they were all affected to a greater or lesser extent by this incident.

If she is forced to stay in the capital, Liu Ruxi's existence will remind other people in the capital all the time that there was such a deviant daughter in the British government.

For the sake of the other girls in the British government and for her own comfortable life in the future, Liu Ruxi finally decided to leave Beijing.

She has a lot of dowry in her hand, even if she leaves the capital, she can live well.

Gu Yanshu knew it in his heart, nodded slightly, and asked again:

"After leaving Beijing, where is Miss Liu going? What are you going to do?"

"I heard that the climate in Nancheng is pleasant, and the water and soil support people. I should go to Nancheng."

Liu Ruxi paused for a moment, then said:

"As for what to do... I haven't thought about it yet."

The future life that Liu Susu had originally thought about was not applicable after leaving the capital.

As for what to do now, Liu Ruxi really didn't think about it.

For her, the most important thing is to leave Beijing.

"Since that's the case, there is one thing in this hall that I want Miss Liu to help with. I don't know what Miss Liu wants?"

Gu Yanshu frowned slightly, and asked softly.

Liu Ruxi quickly looked at Gu Yanshu:

"His Royal Highness, but it doesn't matter!"

"If you want to come, Miss Liu also knows that the hall likes to open some shops when there is nothing to do on weekdays."

Gu Yanshu is not a shy person either, he directly stated his plan:

"The industries in central Beijing have stabilized now, so this hall wants to open similar shops in other places."

"The scenery in the south city is pleasant, and it is also a place where merchants gather, and it is also in the plan of this hall."

"It's just that the shop is easy to buy, but the shopkeeper is hard to find. Ms. Liu used to be a frequent visitor of Yaoyue Pavilion, and I think she has some understanding of the business model of Yaoyue Pavilion. It just so happens that Ms. Liu decided to settle in Nancheng this time. The job of the shopkeeper of Yuege?"

The matter of opening a branch was originally part of Gu Yanshu's business blueprint.

It's just that, as Gu Yanshu said, shops are easy to buy, but shopkeepers are hard to find, so Gu Yanshu has not been able to implement this matter.

Shops like Taoranju and Guiyuanju are okay. The shopkeepers are all men. Be careful and there will always be suitable candidates.

You can invite Yuege to be different.

In a women's club, if the shopkeeper is a man, it will inevitably make the ladies feel conflicted.

But trying to find a woman like Mrs. Yao who has extraordinary skills and can handle her own affairs is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It's not that Gu Yanshu can't send Mrs. Yao to other places to expand the territory, and then let a woman with less ability take over the management of Yaoyue Pavilion in Kyoto.

However, Miss Yao's family members are all in Beijing, so it is not the best choice to separate Lady Yao from her family, or to let Lady Yao's husband and children wander with Lady Yao.

It just so happened that Liu Ruxi mentioned the matter of leaving Beijing at this time, so Gu Yanshu raised the matter with Liu Ruxi without thinking about it.

No matter what, Liu Ruxi never thought that Gu Yanshu's so-called asking for something turned out to be this matter, and a trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his face.

Aware of Liu Ruxi's thoughts, Gu Yanshu said softly:

"If Miss Liu has any embarrassments, it's okay to say."

Liu Ruxi shook her lips, and replied in a low voice:

"The concubine may not be able to take on this important task."

Hearing that Liu Ruxi was not unwilling, Gu Yanshu smiled slightly, and asked slowly:

"Do you know why this hall wants Miss Liu to be the shopkeeper of the new store in Yaoyue Pavilion?"

"Why?"

Liu Ruxi thinks that there is nothing extraordinary about her, and she can be treated favorably by His Royal Highness Princess Li.

"Miss Liu was able to bravely propose reconciliation, and she was able to hold back even an inch when negotiating with the eldest princess and strive for the greatest benefit for herself. She has already possessed an excellent anecdote and the qualities it should have."

Gu Yanshu also had the idea of ​​letting Liu Ruxi be the shopkeeper of Yaoyue Pavilion after hearing the negotiation at the beginning.

"But that's all because of His Highness's guidance." Liu Ruxi's slender eyelashes trembled.

"At the beginning, this hall did not give little advice to Mrs. Yao."

Gu Yanshu replied without thinking, seeing the worry in Liu Ruxi's heart, and added:

"If Ms. Liu agrees, this palace will let Mrs. Yao give her all the money. At that time, the shopkeeper Zhao of Guiyuanju will also go to Nancheng to prepare for opening a branch of Guiyuanju in Nancheng. You can discuss it with shopkeeper Zhao."

And after Gu Yanshu finished speaking, the hesitation and doubts on Liu Ruxi's face were also eliminated a lot.

Not long after, Liu Ruxi gave Gu Yanshu the answer:

"Ruxi will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!"

Unexpectedly, Liu Ruxi made up his mind, but Gu Yanshu didn't agree immediately:

"This hall knows that this is not a small matter for Miss Liu. Miss Liu can also go back and think about it before giving me an answer."

Once he agrees to be the treasurer of Yaoyue Pavilion, he will inevitably show his face like Mrs. Yao.

Even in a women's club like Yaoyue Pavilion, the clients they face are all women, but this is not a small challenge for a lady like Liu Ruxi who has followed the rules since she was a child.

Therefore, Gu Yanshu hoped that Liu Ruxi would give a definite answer after thinking about it carefully.

But Liu Ruxi just shook her head, with an extremely firm expression:

"Ruxi has already considered it clearly, and is willing to relieve His Highness' worries!"

When she made the decision to leave the capital, Liu Ruxi had already decided that she wanted to change her way of life.

She has long been tired of the life restricted by the rules and regulations set by the world.

Now that Gu Yanshu has provided her with such an opportunity to choose, and smoothed out all the difficulties she may encounter, what reason does she have to refuse?

Seeing that Liu Ruxi's determination was not small, Gu Yanshu stopped persuading her, and only asked Liu Ruxi to study with Mrs. Yao for a few days before leaving Beijing.

"Miss Yao will explain to you the responsibilities and benefits of the treasurer of Yaoyue Pavilion. If there is anything you don't understand, you can directly ask Lady Yao. This hall will not elaborate on it for you."

After all, Gu Yanshu and Liu Ruxi are different men and women, and the two are influential figures in Beijing, if they meet frequently, there will inevitably be some rumors.

In order to avoid these unnecessary troubles, he simply left the matter to Mrs. Yao.

Yaoyue Pavilion is the most profitable shop under Gu Yanshu's management.

Now that the shopkeeper of the branch has been selected, it means that the branch of Yaoyue Pavilion will open soon.

At that time, the assets under Gu Yanshu's name will increase by a large amount.

Thinking of this, the corners of Gu Yanshu's lips couldn't stop rising.

Just when Gu Yanshu was thinking about how much more money he could make every year after the opening of the Yaoyue Pavilion branch, Zhi Ge hurried over from the side:

"Your Highness, hurry up to eight hundred miles."

Eight hundred miles to expedite, it is self-evident where this letter came from.

Ever since Qin Lu sent Gu Yanshu a safety letter in [-] Li urgently, and Gu Yanshu also sent him a letter back.

In the days that followed, Gu Yanshu would receive letters from his family Xiaolu who was far away in Yizhou almost every once in a while.

"Huh? Didn't one just arrive a few days ago? Why did it come again today?"

Gu Yanshu frowned slightly, and there was a trace of doubt in his tone.

There was obviously a hint of disgust in the tone, but the smile on the face that was already smiling now became more and more obvious.

Reaching out to take the envelope, looking at the familiar "My Wife Yan Shu" on the cover, even the eyes are gradually filled with a smile.

And Zhi Ge has long been familiar with the occasional inappropriate words of his Royal Highness, and he pretended not to hear them. After slightly clasping his fists, he retreated directly.

Gu Yanshu stretched out his hand, carefully opened the envelope, and took out the letter paper.

Just like the usual letters, most of Qin Lu's letters this time are about his daily life in Yizhou.

First, he reported some work to Gu Yanshu.

For example, officials from all over Yizhou cooperated very well, and the construction of the dam went much smoother than he had imagined.

Now that the dam has been repaired for less than half, if the progress continues according to the schedule, he should be able to return to Beijing ahead of schedule.

Then he told Gu Yanshu about the interesting things in Yizhou in the past few days, such as the customs and customs that were different from those in Kyoto, and the food that was different from Kyoto in Yizhou in the past few days.

It's just a pity that Gu Yanshu was not by his side when he experienced and experienced these different things.

Just for these trivial daily matters, Qin Lu wrote four pages of letter paper eloquently.

That is, Qin Lu's letter, no one dared to open it and read it privately.

Otherwise, let others know that His Royal Highness Li Wang, who seems to be fierce and ruthless, can talk like this in private, and the prestige that His Highness Li Wang built with his military exploits in the past may no longer exist.

While feeling so emotional in his heart, Gu Yanshu looked down at the last page of letter paper.

When he saw the above content clearly, Gu Yanshu was a little dumbfounded:

My little deer actually expressed strong dissatisfaction with his behavior of writing only a few sentences in his last reply, not even filling a page of letter paper, and even condemned him.

At the same time, he also ordered Gu Yanshu to write more letters than his letter this time.

"childish!"

Gu Yanshu looked at those dissatisfied words, muttered with a smile, then shifted his gaze, and continued to look down.

When he saw the last six words on the letter paper, the smile on Gu Yanshu's face gradually dissipated.

After repeatedly rubbing that sentence with his fingertips several times, Gu Yanshu seemed to be lost, and murmured in a low voice as if sad:

"Little Deer...I miss you too."
