Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1575

Cen Yuan had been busy outside all day. He just came back and washed his hands in the copper basin. He stretched out his arms and let his wife change his complicated outer robe into soft casual clothes. Then he sat down and took a sip of the tea she handed him. He took a breath and said, "Mrs. Gu, the richest woman in Ganzhou."

Shi Anxia's mind raced, "Did you hear wrongly? How could such a good person be so smitten..."

It was quite difficult to swallow the words "my father is a loser".

Cen Yuan smiled and said, "Your father's appearance is very attractive. As long as he doesn't do anything stupid, he can just sit there and not move, which is still pleasing to the eye."

Shi Anxia laughed angrily, "He does stupid things every day!"

Ganzhou’s richest woman, Mrs. Gu! She had met this person once.

After the Northern Wing won a great victory in the previous life, the court rewarded the meritorious service, and all the wealthy people who donated money and contributed during the war gathered together.

At that time, Empress Dowager Huizheng named Madam Gu, the richest woman in Ganzhou, as Lady Yuguang because Madam Gu donated all her fortune to the court and then took her family back to the countryside to farm and grow flowers.

Later, he became a big flower grower. He is really good at what he does and loves what he does.

This is the pride of Ganzhou.

When Queen Mother Huizheng met with Lady Gu alone, she asked her, "Do you have any other requests?"

The elderly Madam Gu asked innocently, "Is Madam Yuguang considered a title?"

Queen Mother Huizheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Of course."

Knowing that Madam Gu cared about, or rather, that the Gu family, who had been doing business all their lives, cared about the title of nobility, she quietly had someone fill the title of Earl Yuguang.

To put it bluntly, the national treasury was empty after the war and could not provide more silver for compensation, so they conferred some honorary titles to show that the court remembered their contributions to the northern wing.

Even so, Madam Gu was overjoyed and sincere, and did not care how much compensation she would get for the wealth she had donated.

Because of this, Queen Dowager Huizheng felt more and more guilty every time she thought about it.

Shi Anxia murmured, "Madam Gu has taken a fancy to my father. I think I know what she really wants."

Cen Yuan was puzzled, "What is it?"

He just thought that Madam Gu was simply attracted by Shi Chengxuan's good looks. After all, his father-in-law had no worries about food and clothing, and his heart was not hurt. His eyes were stupidly clear, and he really showed the youthfulness of not knowing the immensity of the world.

Shi Anxia explained, "Although my father is not a marquis, he is also the father of Marquis Jian'an."

Her brother Shi Yunqi automatically inherited the title after the one-year mourning period was over. Now he is no longer the crown prince, but the real Marquis of Jian'an.

Cen Yuan was a little surprised, "Are you saying that Madam Gu wants to cross the social class barrier by marrying your father?"

Shi Anxia felt that this guess was the closest to the truth. "It's just that Chen Jikang didn't cherish it and played a good hand of cards badly."

In the North Wing, there are only two families who have achieved class advancement from merchants: the Chen family and the Ming family. The hierarchy of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans makes merchants dream of climbing up the social ladder after they become rich.

Cen Yuan said, "Chen Jikang has no idea how to deal with himself after being promoted to a noble title. He always thought that he should take a position in the complicated situation of the capital. But he didn't know how to take a position."

"How is Uncle Chen?"

"Uncle Chen is much more down-to-earth than Chen Jikang. He has returned to Yucheng. He said he would return to the capital during the Chinese New Year and come to visit you then."

Uncle Chen replaced Chen Jikang and inherited the title of Baron Fuguo.

"He is my elder, and I should visit him." As long as the elders don't act up, Shi Anxia doesn't mind giving them enough face.

Giving face to the elders that her husband values ​​is giving face to her husband. I remember that when Chen Jikang first came to Beijing, she also gave him enough respect.

Shi Anxia suddenly remembered, "By the way, where did you get the news that my father was going to get married?"
