"Sister, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look very good. I guess you have been having a sweet time with your brother-in-law recently and are in a very good mood." As soon as Gu Xirong came, she put a handkerchief to her lips and giggled.

When Gu Xiling heard this, her scalp went numb.

This guy has no control over his mouth. He can even talk about things between men and women in bed.

This is shameless.

"Not as good as my sister." Gu Xiling smiled awkwardly, "But my sister, why did you come here uninvited? Is there something urgent?"

Gu Xirong hated Gu Xiling's hypocritical attitude. She obviously hated her, but was polite to her.

But it’s better this way, otherwise it would be difficult for her to come to the house!

"Sister, my husband was impeached by a traitor yesterday. Fortunately, His Majesty was very observant and found out the truth, so he didn't wrongly accuse my husband. His Majesty values ​​my husband and sees that he has a sincere heart to serve the country, so he specially transferred him to the north."

"According to my dream, our previous preparations, and Lai Fu, the Northern Rong prince, we will surely win a great victory. My husband is a skilled warrior and well-versed in the art of war. He will surely achieve great success on the battlefield."

Gu Xiling's mouth twitched, but she couldn't say that what Gu Xirong and Xie Jin did was wrong.

She still holds the same view, that it is too radical.

On the surface, Li Guojiu could not extend his hands into the military, but what about in private?

How could there be no layout?

Besides, by doing this, Your Majesty, isn't this a slap on Uncle Li's face?

This will lead to a series of changes, and the situation is not optimistic.

Even if the North can win a great victory, who can guarantee that Xie Jin will achieve military merit?

However, since this was chosen by Xie Jin and Gu Xirong, Gu Xiling could not stop them, nor did she want to stop them.

He is seeking death by his own ability, why should we stop him?

"Your Majesty is wise." Gu Xiling smiled, "My sister and her husband from the Xie family are deeply in love, and I'm sure they will follow suit."

Gu Xirong smiled, "Of course, while we are still young, we should spend more time together. Without others to disturb us, I can not only rest assured to take care of my health, but I may even get pregnant again."

"Ah?" Gu Xiling was stunned. How could she get pregnant immediately after a miscarriage?

Shouldn’t you wait half a year before asking for it?

Forget it. Even if she said so, Gu Xirong wouldn't appreciate it. She would think she was deliberately trying to stop Gu Xirong from having a child.

"I really envy the relationship between Sister Rong and Brother-in-law Xie." Gu Xiling complimented and took a sip of tea. "It would be good for Sister to leave the capital and see the customs and practices of the north. It just so happens that Sister also had a dream that foretold that Brother-in-law Xie would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort and make great contributions."

Gu Xirong was quite proud when she heard this. "My husband and I are naturally in love. Now that I see that my sister and Prince Zhou are in love, I can rest assured. There is a snow disaster in the north, Sister Ling, as long as it is a disaster, there will be many victims."

"I want to buy some food, medicinal herbs, and cloth. But I am short of money. Can you lend me some silver? But don't worry, I will write an IOU. It is I who borrowed it."

Gu Xiling was stunned. "Sister Rong, it's not that I don't want to lend you money. Have you forgotten that the medicine shops and drug stores that raised prices during the flood this year were all punished by His Majesty? Don't expect to make money from this thing. Don't touch it."

"Although Beijing City is far away from the capital, you should not be lucky and think that the emperor is far away and cannot control you. That would be a big mistake. I am kindly advising you, you must keep it in mind."

Gu Xirong smiled happily when she heard this, "Sister Ling, you worry too much. How could I do such a foolish thing?"

Gu Xiling's eyes were full of suspicion. It was not like Gu Xirong had not done this before!

"As for me, I am transporting food, medicine and cloth to earn reputation for my husband and the Xie family. There are many people affected by the disaster, and I can provide porridge for free. If my husband makes great contributions and has a good reputation, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the North."

Hearing this, Gu Xiling suddenly realized, "Oh, so that's how it is! Sister Rong, you are so thoughtful."

During the snowstorm, it was indeed a kind act for wealthy families to provide porridge to the people.

If it is done well, the common people will benefit.

As for earning fame, there is nothing wrong with earning it with real money.

Seeing Gu Xiling's surprised expression, Gu Xirong became even more proud of her actions, which would definitely bring great benefits to her husband.

"Sister Ling, you know the Xie family's situation. We don't have that much money. We haven't divided the money from the fur business we did together. I'm short of money, so I came to ask for your help."

Gu Xiling nodded. She had to borrow the money. However, she would not borrow too much.

"Sister Rong, you also said that the fur business has not made any money yet. In order to do this business, I took out all my private money. Now there is not much left. I can only lend you two thousand taels of silver and give you another five hundred taels of silver as a gift."

Gu Xirong was stunned. "Sister Ling, this money is too little, isn't it? There are many victims in this disaster. There is a great demand for food and medicinal materials. How about you lend me 20,000 taels of silver? After all, the Changning Marquis's Mansion is a big family, don't be so stingy."

"Ah?" Gu Xiling was stunned, as if she didn't hear clearly, "Sister Rong, how much do you want to borrow?"

"Twenty thousand taels of silver." Gu Xirong said confidently. If the money was too little, nothing could be done. "I know my sister is reluctant to part with it. So, I've brought the deed of our partnership in the fur business. I'll leave it with you as collateral. Is that all right?"

Gu Xiling felt that she had underestimated Gu Xirong's shamelessness. "Sister Rong, those furs probably haven't been shipped to the northern border yet! Even if these furs can be sold, your share of the profits may not be 20,000 taels of silver."

"Also, you used the money to buy food and medicinal herbs and distributed them to the disaster victims. That was kind of you. But if you do this, won't you live a normal life in the future? Don't the interpersonal relationships and various courtesies in the officialdom require money?"

Hearing this, Gu Xirong smiled and said, "I won't spend all of these 20,000 taels of silver. I'll have to keep some for living. This time, if my husband can achieve success, my husband and I will definitely be grateful to the Changning Marquis' Mansion."

The implication is that if you don’t lend them money, they will be unwilling to give in and will bear a grudge against you.

It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.

Gu Xiling lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking.

What can I say about Gu Xirong and Xie Jin?

In fact, it has nothing to do with her, you can ignore it or not.

But I can't stand Gu Xirong's troubles!

Things in dreams are not useless to her. They are still somewhat useful.

Even if Gu Xiling didn't believe it all, there was no need to exclude it all.

"Sister Rong, 20,000 taels of silver is really too much. I don't have it." Gu Xiling smiled bitterly, "I have two layers of mother-in-law above me. I'm not pregnant, and I don't have any foundation. My dowry is really not much."

Gu Xirong was calm and composed, smiling, "Sister Ling, as long as you give me 20,000 taels of silver, I will tell you a dream about Zhou Jin and Princess Xueying. I'm sure you will be very interested, right?"
