When he opened the box, Yunyou was mentally prepared to accept a box of children's toys.

However, the next second after the box was opened, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared.

Yunyou was almost blinded by the golden light.

"This this……"

Qu smiled slightly: "You are not mistaken, it is all gold."

"How can I accept so much gold? Logically, as a brother, I should give a gift to my sister."

Wen Qianqian immediately said: "Second brother, I didn't give you this gold for free. This is the capital for your business. When you expand your business in the future, you have to give me 50%!"

The gold will just sit there anyway, so it’s better to let my second brother use the money to make money.

This way she would have an endless supply of gold.

Yunyou laughed when he heard this.

"Qianqian, aren't you afraid that your second brother's business will fail?"

[Don't be afraid! My second brother is a natural businessman.]

Yunyou was stunned: "Is that so...?"

He himself doesn't think he has such talent, but his sister believes in him so much.

For some reason, Yunyou felt more resolute.

"Mom, I don't plan to follow my grandfather to study and become an official. I want to go out and try my luck."

Qu was silent for a moment, then said, "You can go out and make your own way, I won't say no. But you still need to study. Your grandfather has some business families under his wing, I can ask them to teach you some business skills."

Yunyou nodded immediately: "Okay!"

Compared with the Four Books and Five Classics, he indeed prefers to learn about business.

After the mother and son had made the decision, they discussed the matter with Prime Minister Qu.

Prime Minister Qu complied with all his daughter's requests and immediately assigned someone to teach Yunyou how to do business.

He just didn't understand why Qu chose Yunyou as his adopted son.

Even though Wen Chengyi is dead, she still has two sons.

But when he thought of the current situation of the other two, Prime Minister Qu sighed again.

What a misfortune for our family!

What did the Qu family do wrong to have to suffer this?

Prime Minister Qu was full of confusion about his future.

He even felt that after his son's generation, the Qu family would be completely wiped out.

dead.

Now, he can only take one step at a time.

Prime Minister Qu watched Qu leave with a sad face, little did he know that his good days had just begun.

……

the other side.

After Wen Hongshen gave the silver to the beggars to spread rumors, he went to study in the private school of the Grand Secretary.

Today the Grand Secretary gave a test question.

It is about the question of establishing a legitimate heir and a virtuous one.

“Everyone can express their own ideas.”

All those who could study under the Grand Secretary in the academy were legitimate sons of various families.

Therefore, most people naturally respect the ancient tradition of "establishing the heir".

However, some people also thought about the current situation in the palace.

Especially those who were members of the Crown Prince Party, they said leisurely, "Of course, the most virtuous one should be appointed. The current Crown Prince was not the legitimate prince born to the Queen, but because the second prince born to the Queen had a congenital defect and could not speak, the eldest prince born to Consort De was appointed. If we follow what you said and appoint the eldest legitimate prince, doesn't that mean that the decision made by the current Emperor was wrong?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

No one dared to say that the decision to refute Emperor Ming's decision to appoint a crown prince was wrong.

After all, if this word gets out, it would be a serious crime punishable by beheading, or even the entire clan would be implicated.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, the princeling showed a smug look.

The Grand Secretary's gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on Wen Hongshen, who was sitting in the last row and remained silent.

Wen Hongshen has made rapid progress in his studies in the past two years and is one of his most admired students.

"Hong Shen, you speak."

Wen Hongshen already had an idea in his mind and was just waiting for the Grand Secretary to call him.

Among the noblemen present, his status was the lowest. Without the Grand Secretary calling him, he could not speak on his own and offend others.

Now the Grand Secretary called him and he stood up immediately.

"Sir, in fact, the ancestors had already decided to establish the eldest son as the heir. But the decision of the current emperor is not wrong. The emperor is also doing it for the sake of the entire Ming Dynasty."

The princelings in the front row sneered, "What Hong Shen said is simply like listening to a speech of yours, like listening to a speech of nonsense."

The Grand Secretary stroked his beard and said, "Hongshen, you obey both sides, so which side are you on?"

Wen Hongshen said calmly: "The student hasn't finished speaking yet."

"In fact, virtue and vice can be disguised, but the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children can be identified at a glance."

"I think that if the illegitimate son is truly virtuous, he will not try to seize the position of the legitimate son for his own selfish desires. If the legitimate son can control the illegitimate son and not do foolish things, he will naturally be able to ensure the prosperity of the family."

"So I think that instead of arguing here about whether to establish the heir or the virtuous, it is better to be a loyal minister."

As soon as Chunchen's theory came out, the school fell silent.

It was the Grand Secretary who came to his senses first.

"What a Junchen. Hong Shen, you are indeed my most promising student."

"For today's homework, everyone should go back and write an article on 'On Pure Ministers' according to what Hong Shen said."

"Yes……"

"it is good."

Everyone agreed, and when they looked at Wen Hongshen again, many of them were amazed.

Wen Hongshen was neither humble nor arrogant. He said goodbye to everyone one by one and left the university scholar's private school.

Only when there was no one around did Wen Hongshen slowly curl the corners of his lips.

Pure minister theory?

Ha ha.

I really have to thank Wen Chengting today.

If Wen Chengting had not mentioned to him three years ago that a sixth lady he knew had once proposed this "pure minister theory", he would not have been able to say these words today, and would not have been valued more by the Grand Secretary.

His older brother is truly a treasure that can never be fully explored.

only……

Wen Hongshen's eyes darkened.

He didn't have many of Wen Chengting's articles left, so he had to get Wen Chengyi back to the Hundred Households Mansion as soon as possible so that he could continue to display his talents.

I don’t know what the rumors are like outside now.

That group of beggars roaming around the capital, and everyone in the streets and alleys should know about Qu's cruelty by now.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. If Qu drives her own son out of the house, she will surely be cursed.

Therefore, even if Qu was really cruel enough not to let Wen Chengyi go back, she had to let Wen Chengyi go back.

In the capital, rumors can kill people.

He didn't believe that Qu, the soft-hearted and easy-to-control woman, could withstand this wave of rumors.

Thinking of this, Wen Hongshen shook the purse around his waist and went to the largest teahouse in the capital.

This teahouse is bustling with people coming and going.

Just find a seat and sit down anywhere, and you can hear the hottest gossip in the capital.

Sure enough, Wen Hongshen had just asked the waiter for a pot of tea, and before the tea was served, he heard someone at the next table vaguely mention the three words "Wen Chengyi".

Wen Hongshen immediately pricked up his ears and sat down closer to them to listen carefully.

Say it!

Swear!

Tell us all about Qu's evil deeds!

If it weren't for the existence of Qu, why would he become a concubine who couldn't use his own identity?

If it weren't for Qu, why would his mother and sister have to suffer in the countryside?

Qu couldn't blame him, because it was all Qu's own fault!

The two men drank a sip of tea and continued talking about the previous topic.
