Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me
Chapter 98 Gu Zhilan came up with another way to make money
The imperial edict had been issued, and Minister Gu set off for his post three days later.
Minister Gu was extremely depressed. He had worked hard all his life, but in the end, it was all in vain and he couldn't even make it through the years.
But amidst this dejection, there was also a sense of relief that the emperor only demoted him and did not confiscate his property.
After being thankful, he calmed down again. Now the capital is in turmoil and the fight for the throne is about to break out. Instead of gambling his life and death with Prince Yao, it is better to seek peace of mind. The emperor exiled him to Quanzhou, and he can live a good life with his family.
These days, with the comfort of Mrs. Gu, Gu Qiong has become much more stable. She is just waiting to go to Quanzhou, where no one will know what is happening in the capital anymore.
Everyone in the Gu family was busy packing their luggage. Only Gu Zhilan, who had a high fever and was still not recovered from her illness, got furious when she saw the wedding dress brought by the maid.
Gu Zhilan looked at the pink wedding dress that the maid bought and was so angry that her eyebrows were raised. She raised her hand and picked up the scissors to cut the wedding dress: "Why did you bring a pink wedding dress? I want to wear a phoenix crown and a red bridal gown!"
The maid trembled, but hurriedly stopped her: "Miss, you are marrying into the Qi family as a concubine, so you cannot wear a phoenix coronet and a red robe. Besides, the wedding is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and there is only this pink dress left in the clothing store. If you cut it, you will have nothing to wear on your wedding day."
Gu Zhilan's face was full of disbelief: "...Become a concubine? You said, the Qi family wants me to be a concubine?"
The maid nodded blankly: "Indeed, the master went to the Qi family to ask, and that's what the Qi family said."
Gu Zhilan was so angry that she was shaking and her whole body was cold, but in the end her reason prevailed. She threw down the scissors and yelled at the maid with red eyes: "Get out! Get out!"
Qi Xun had clearly promised to be with her for the rest of her life, so how could he want her to be a concubine?
No...she had to go and find out.
Gu Zhilan gritted her teeth, dragged her sick body out of the yard, and went to the front yard to find Minister Gu: "Master Gu, what is going on? Ask clearly, is this really what Qi Xun meant? Did he say it himself that he wanted me to be his concubine?"
She didn't understand and didn't want to believe it. How could Qi Xun say such a thing?
Now, there was clearly no obstacle between the two of them, so how could he, how could he say that he wanted her to be his concubine?
In the front yard, Lord Gu was directing the servants to pack the luggage. When he saw her coming, he was too lazy to pay attention to her.
He finally realized that this Miss Zhilan was like a reincarnated jinx. If she got involved with the Qi family, the Qi family would be ruined, and if she got involved with the Gu family, the Gu family would also be in trouble.
Master Gu hid the perfunctory look in his eyes, but his tone was still a little impatient:
"Zhizhi, that's exactly what Prince Qi said. You really embarrassed yourself too much at the snow viewing banquet... But once you enter the Qi family and win Prince Qi's heart, it's not impossible for him to make you his wife."
Gu Zhilan was already angry, and she became even angrier when she heard about the Snow Viewing Banquet. She raised her hand and kicked the box she had just packed to the ground:
"Since Lord Gu went to the Qi family, why didn't he fight for me to be his wife? Is this how Lord Gu works for His Royal Highness Prince Yao? At the Snow Appreciation Banquet, I was framed like this. Have you checked who did this to me? And Shen Xiyue, she actually dared to ask someone to throw Qi Xun and me out of the Princess's Mansion. Did Lord Gu ask someone to file a memorial to impeach her? I have been ill for these days, Lord Gu..."
Minister Gu remained calm and waited until Gu Zhilan finished her accusations before he smiled and said, "Zhizhi, don't be impatient. If you don't want to be a concubine, there are still ways..."
Gu Zhilan blinked and suddenly became alert again. She thought that Minister Gu had come to his senses after being scolded by her.
He immediately raised his chin again, with a proud look on his face: "What do you think?"
Minister Gu stroked his mustache and said slowly, "The emperor wants to demote me to Quanzhou as a county magistrate. If Miss Zhizhi doesn't mind, come with me to Quanzhou. When the time comes, I will find you a farmer or merchant, and you can always be my wife."
Gu Zhilan frowned: "...What? You were demoted to Quanzhou?"
Minister Gu nodded, looking calm: "Yes, Zhizhi, whether you want to go with dad or marry into the Qi family, it's up to you."
Gu Zhilan turned and left.
Of course she wouldn't go to Quanzhou.
Her dream of leaving her name in history has not yet been realized, so why go to Quanzhou, a remote place?
As for why Minister Gu was demoted, she didn't ask any more questions. What does this have to do with her?
Incompetent people are not worthy of her eyes.
But the Gu family was going to leave Beijing in three days. She didn't want to talk about whether she felt wronged or not, she just hoped to find a way out for herself as soon as possible.
She thought about it and decided that now that King Yao was gone and Qi Xun had no power or influence, no one would look after her, so it would be better for her to enter the Qi family first. As long as she could calm down now, she would definitely have the opportunity to turn things around in the future.
Time was urgent, and even though there was no tradition of getting married in the twelfth month, she had to agree to the marriage.
Lord Gu was already busy packing his luggage, and he also had to free up time to arrange Gu Zhilan's marriage, so it was inevitable that he was a little too busy to take care of it.
On the other hand, Mrs. Qi was not very happy with the Third Miss Gu, who had brought shame to her son in the capital. She also thought that her concubine was just a concubine, so she kept everything simple.
The wedding was scheduled for two days later.
......
Gu Zhilan sat alone in the room in a daze.
She suddenly felt confused. Why was her life becoming more and more difficult?
She used to think that she was well-versed in 5,000 years of history and could be considered a person of unparalleled wisdom and strategy. Although she had been hanging around in brothels in the past two years, she felt that she was stirring up trouble.
But the incident in Jiangnan dealt her a heavy blow. For this era, she was still one step behind in strategy, but fortunately she quickly offered another method to make King Yao trust her again...
Now that the Jiangnan case is finally over, she has the opportunity to start a new life. Before she attended the snow viewing banquet, everything was clearly fine.
She had intended to establish a name for herself with her poetry in the future, but it was Shen Xiyue who exposed her in public for plagiarism and inability to compose couplets, embarrassing her. That was why she was helped to the side room to rest, and was caught in bed with Qi Xun by everyone for no apparent reason.
It’s all Shen Xiyue’s fault!
......No, not Shen Xiyue.
It was the one Shen Xiyue mentioned, the one who traveled through time like herself!
Gu Zhilan stood up suddenly. Yes, that time traveler, he was the destroyer who made her fall from the altar again!
kill him!
Gu Zhilan's mind was filled with this thought. Only if he died, she would be the only time traveler in this era, the only one chosen by God!
But how can I kill him?
His Royal Highness Prince Yao is not in the capital, and he has no help at the moment. How can he kill the guest of honor in the Princess's Mansion alone?
She struggled for a while, but reality forced her to regain her sanity and she sat back on the couch.
As a fellow time traveler, why should I block her way?
But Gu Zhilan was not someone who only knew how to complain, nor was she someone who would give up easily. After thinking for a while, she came up with an idea.
Time travel is just a higher starting point than people of this era, but it is still far behind her.
After all, she has hooked up with King Yao, the most likely competitor for the throne in this era. Power is the killing weapon in the feudal era.
Instead of wasting time here over an unknown time traveler, it would be better to prove your own worth to His Majesty King Yao... Even if we are all time travelers, there are still levels of status.
Since I am not as smart as others and my talent is not well known, now I should be practical and start with the second-level money.
Money is a good thing, although in the eyes of those in power, silver is the most shameful thing.
But from top to bottom, rich or poor, who would complain that money is hot to the touch?
The old opium business was gone, but she would still take advantage of fair and honest opportunities to make money!
Now, let her do it again!
