Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

“Cheng Qi, you have to remember that the girls of my Xu family are not unable to find a husband, but they choose a husband.

If you can't marry well, you can find a son-in-law.

Look at the days when I read the moon, aren’t they good?

Even if she doesn't marry or marry, our Xu family can still afford to support her."

Xu Siyu doesn't want others to think the same way as she does. She just hopes that her family will give her enough confidence so that girls don't have to follow the crowd but can make their own choices.

Many years ago, Xu Siyu thought that she would never get married.

In this world where men are superior to women, she doesn't think she can find happiness in marriage.

But just when I gave up hope, Lin Yiqing caught up with me.

Xu Siyu is very lucky. In this era, she has met a man who respects her and shares the same feelings with her.

“Things have already happened, and it’s understandable that others want to make changes.

It is obvious that when the Hu family approached the Xu family, they were not only interested in Shi Shi.

Now that he wants to cancel the engagement with our Xu girl, he must have thought it over carefully.

As for our Xu family, should we continue or give up?

You have to ask Xishi about this question first, and of course, your thoughts as a father.

To marry or not to marry, to cancel the engagement or not, all the pros and cons, you have to break it down and make a clear decision, then you can decide whether to marry or not, or who to marry.

Furthermore, since you are the clan leader, you should know that Xishi’s marriage represents the reputation of the entire clan.

This isn't just your family's problem.

If you choose to arrange the marriage of the clan leader's daughter in a way that is unjustifiable due to some irreversible circumstances, how will the other girls in the clan get married?"

There was no direct objection, but Xu Siyu explained to Xu Chengqi her views on this marriage from many perspectives.

Different marriages, different characters, different management,

There is no correct answer. Everyone chooses a relatively comfortable and satisfactory path among trade-offs.

Xu Chengqi carried the coffin away. He was going to start his new life, carrying the burden of the fate of his entire clan. Xu Siyu looked at her eldest nephew and realized that he had aged a lot.

She wants to stay young forever, so she always wants fewer things to bother her, but things never go as she wishes.

This year, the country suffered from major disasters and people's lives were difficult.

The one million dan of grain donated by Xu Siyu only helped Lezhou to block the pressure of external harassment, but the disaster has not been alleviated, and the world cannot be said to be at peace.

The Xu family caravan is still trying hard to export to the north.

The caravans suffered fewer and fewer disasters because there were fewer and fewer living people to be seen.

The northerners who survived the snowstorms, severe frosts, locust plagues and food shortages by hiding in cities and military settlements were truly lucky and capable.

The situation in the eastern part of the Ming Dynasty was not good either, but the east was connected to the fertile land of the Central Plains and the Jiangbei Plain. In ancient China, it was said that "three counties in the Central Plains are equivalent to one county in the southwest", so the recovery was relatively fast.

Even if there is only one season's harvest, as long as it is enough to support people, life will gradually return to normal.

Xu Siyu received the news that the Crown Princess was visiting from Yuanzhou.

A merchant ship was borrowed to welcome the guests. To put it bluntly, from the moment Xu Siyu got on board, she had to start the reception work.

This is really not a cost-effective task.

When the Crown Princess arrived in Lezhou, she no longer took a people-friendly approach.

The huge carriage and entourage had to provide food and drink for at least a hundred people a day. Xu Siyu didn't understand what the Crown Princess wanted in this not-so-affluent time, with such a laborious and costly tour.

"One is to inspect the national borders and ensure stability on behalf of my father; the other is to raise funds and food for the Eastern Expedition..." the Crown Princess said to the welcoming personnel.

Then she boarded the carriage Xu Siyu had prepared for her, invited her to ride along, and whispered in her ear, "If the Prince Regent goes on an expedition to the east and fails to reach the shore, it will be my fault for not gathering enough food and fodder, and my position as the Crown Princess will be in jeopardy. If the expedition goes smoothly, the Prince Regent's achievements will probably surpass mine, the Crown Prince. Besides, I'm a woman!"

When we first met, she was dressed in a fiery red dress, and when we met again, she was still an eye-catching bright color. But the girl who had been the crown prince for three years was no longer the young and naive girl she was seven years ago. The red on her body was more like fireworks. What did she want to ignite?

Zhu Yuyang is intelligent and has a plan for success.

There was no need for a grand reception. Her officials and Xu Siyu's officials handled official matters, while she stayed in the high pavilion of the City Lord's Mansion with a bird's-eye view of the entire city to discuss deeper cooperation with Xu Siyu.

"Lord Anle should already know that my biological father's surname is Zhu.

The Zhu surname is a descendant of the governor of Youyun area.

In those days, Emperor Gaozu of the Li Dynasty invited him to march west with the throne of the northern land, and his clansmen surrendered to him and followed him in the wars against the former King of Linjiang.

Afterwards, half of the tribe's strongest men sacrificed their lives for the Li Dynasty's rule, but in return they only received the title of Northern Tiger General.

My grandmother, Ma, had wealthy ancestors. When my grandparents were not treated well, she was prudent and distributed the family wealth to her maternal relatives. She chose Xiangzhou as a place to retreat and recuperate, and changed her surname to Sima. She built a fort on the land and only focused on production, not caring about the disputes in all directions.

The three emperors of the Li Dynasty were all suspicious and constantly suppressed and persecuted their former generals.

My biological father was also murdered by the Emperor of Li Dynasty in the war in the north.

When a general went to war, his family would be monitored by officials representing the emperor.

My mother realized that the Northern Tiger Army was in danger, so she gave birth to me through induction. The next day, she pretended to be normal and sent me to Xiangzhou secretly in order to save my life.

However, he never expected that he would be intercepted on the way by the Shenwei Army, which was representing the Li Dynasty to guard the banks of the En River.

When the Sima family thought that I would be punished by the Li Dynasty, not long after, the Sima family received an invitation from the Linjiang Palace in Jiangling, and conspired to rebel against the Li Dynasty with Sima Yang as a hostage.

......"

Some people are destined to be in politics.

The son of the Prince of Linjiang was held hostage in Lichao, and the daughters of the Zhu and Sima families were held hostage in the Prince of Linjiang's mansion...

The quality is endless.

Newborn babies do not have the power to say "no".

Zhu Yuyang became an unknown orphan, and was chosen by Linjiang Prince Meng and became the only Princess Yuyang recorded in the jade disc.

When the Li Dynasty was the only powerful dynasty, the Sima family, the Shenwei Army and the Linjiang Palace were holding each other's secrets, and their relationships were strong before the event was accomplished.

After the success, they started a new plan.

This is true for all political groups, and even more so for the Crown Princess, the Regent, the Prince of Jinyang, and the Prince of Southwest, who are cloaked in the cloak of the royal family.

The fact that Zhu Yuyang was able to ascend to the position of Crown Princess means that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the power behind her must have been higher than that of the other three kings.

Now, it is more obvious that the King of Southwest is not in the fight for the throne, and the King of Jinyang is also hidden in the explicit competition. On the surface, the two forces of the Crown Princess and the Regent are competing for and balancing the political situation of the Ming Dynasty.

"Accompanying me on this inspection tour is my concubine, Jiang. He is the Empress Dowager's only blood relative in this world. Jiang's ancestors were once the governor of Hezhou in Lingnan. Now they have fled from the south to the north and have moved to Jiangling. The head of the family is the prefect of Jiangling Prefecture."

Jiangling Prefecture was the seat of the Ming Emperor's fortune, and its status in the Ming Dynasty was second only to the present-day capital, Yanpingjing. Those who could govern this place were also close ministers of the emperor.
