Farming and reading family

This kind of thing should never have been told to Gao E, but now Gao E is already in the vortex of these things. If she is not careful, she will die without knowing how she died.

Gao E was silent for a moment. "Could it be that Zhiweilou is helping the Crown Prince win over officials and wealthy merchants?"

Xu Boyan nodded slightly: "To be precise, it is to help the prince they chose to win over officials and wealthy people."

"Who are they?" Gao E was puzzled.

"They are a few old aristocratic families. Their ancestors had served the emperor well. Later, they were worried that their power would be too great and they would be liquidated by the court, so they used their status as in-laws to interfere in government affairs." Xu Boyan sneered.

"That's not right." Gao E was puzzled. "Isn't there only one family of relatives?"

"What if the queen comes from several families in turn?" Xu Boyan reminded.

Gao E suddenly realized that after several generations, they would all be rotten in the same pot, and no one could escape unscathed.

"So Zhiweilou is the prince's power, but not entirely the prince's power. The key is that others don't know who Zhiweilou has won over, so the list of regular customers of Zhiweilou is very important." Xu Boyan explained.

"You mean... it was Zhiweilou who took action this time?" Gao E guessed.

"Except for Zhiweilou, no one else would move so quickly." Xu Boyan was very sure.

Fortunately, he had not been targeted by Zhiweilou before, so there was no possibility that there were people from Zhiweilou around him.

"Then..." Gao E was worried, "You are going to confront Zhiweilou."

"Zhiweilou and I have always been in opposition." Xu Boyan sneered.

The Tao family is the prince's party, and Zhiweilou will definitely take action when something happens to the Tao family.

Gao E looked overwhelmed: "Your affairs are too complicated. It's still easier to farm in the village."

Xu Boyan smiled. Gao E could understand these things easily. How could she be a simple person? She just chose to be simple.

It was getting late when Bai Hao came back from outside.

"Master, no poisonous snakes have been found in the city these days. However, people doing business under the city wall said that they saw several snakes yesterday and thought it was going to rain again." Bai Hao reported.

Ordinary people cannot tell whether a snake is poisonous or not, and they think all snakes are poisonous.

Xu Boyan looked at Gao E: "What do you think?"

"That is to say, the man doesn't need to bring the snake with him at all. The snake will follow him wherever he goes," Gao E analyzed.

Although there is no technology in this era, there are many strange people who are difficult to understand.

They had just finished their discussion when Lianxin came with snake-attracting incense.

"How do you plan to use it?" Gao E didn't know how many times this snake-attracting incense could be used.

Xu Boyan looked at the snake-attracting incense in his hand and said, "I need to think about it."

"Then you think about it slowly. I'll go back first." Gao E said as she stood up.

"Where do you live? If anything happens, I can ask someone to look for you." Xu Boyan stood up.

Gao E thought for a moment and said, "Yueyuan."

Nowadays, everyone gathers in Yue Garden, and she is not the only one there.

Xu Boyan felt that Gao E was not taking the matter too seriously: "Okay."

Gao E did not go directly to Yueyuan, but went to see Zheng Xiaoshun.

Chen Tao's house has two courtyards, and Mrs. Jin came to greet Gao E as soon as she arrived.

"Boss." Mrs. Jin was very respectful to Gao E.

"Aunt, just call me Gao E." Gao E said with a smile.

The Jin family is also adaptable and can remain calm even when they are reduced to slavery.

Mrs. Jin shook her head: "How can this be possible? It would be bad if people misunderstood us."

Seeing that she insisted, Gao E said nothing more.

At this time, Zheng Xiaoshun came out with a cane, followed by Que'er who was limping like him.

"What happened to Que'er?" Gao E thought to herself that she was going to see her mother and nothing should go wrong.

"Imitating me." Zheng Xiaoshun looked as if he had lost all hope in life.

Gao E laughed and said, "Have you seen a doctor? What did the doctor say?"

"I asked a doctor to come to my house, and the doctor told me to take care of the patient." It is not convenient for Zheng Xiaoshun to go out now, and the Jin couple will not let him go out.

"I see you..." Gao E looked him over. "Go to Yue Garden tomorrow to find Master Jin and see if she can arrange something for you to do. Staying at home all day is not a good idea."

"Okay." Zheng Xiaoshun perked up, then instantly became listless. "Then what about her?"

Gao E looked at Que'er, who had an innocent face, and said, "Take her along."

"What if..." Zheng Xiaoshun hurriedly corrected, "What if there are so many people there and she gets lost again?"

"Can't you keep a closer eye on them? Besides, Yueyuan is our home." Gao E said angrily, "How can you let your own people get lost in your own place?"

Zheng Xiaoshun said he really didn't want to bring her: "My second sister-in-law is here too, so I can't take her first."

"I have something else to do." Gao E refused. "I just came to see you, and now I have to get busy." She said and left.

The gate of Yueyuan is closed and no visitors are received.

When the door opened, I heard the sound of stringed instruments and drums from inside, it was so lively.

"What's going on?" Gao E looked at Jin Ruyi who came out to pick her up.

Jin Ruyi took Gao E's arm and whispered, "The Princess is feasting with those scholars."

Gao E was surprised: "Didn't she come here for Que'er's matter?"

"Yeah, so I don't know if I'm careless or just don't care at all." Jin Ruyi didn't know how to explain.

The two people avoided the main road and went to Jin Ruyi's residence. When they arrived at Jin Ruyi's residence, Jin Ruyi laughed immediately.

"Are you scary?" Gao E said unhappily.

"I slapped Ye Linchuan today." Jin Ruyi said happily.

Gao E was surprised: "How did you smoke it?"

"I slapped him directly." Jin Ruyi made a slapping gesture. "When he saw me, he wanted to pull me aside. I pushed him away and slapped him."

She happily told Gao E what happened today.

Gao E thought Ye Linchuan must be depressed to death: "Then he didn't contact you again?"

"Does he dare?" Jin Ruyi said angrily, "Don't even mention that Miss Qiu is watching us. There are also the Princess and Prince Bin here. How dare he dare to come and find me?"

Gao E nodded and said, "I'll ask Zheng Xiaoshun to bring Que'er over tomorrow morning. I'm not sure what will happen then, so you can act accordingly."

Jin Ruyi nodded: "How is it going with Master Xu?"

"All the members of the Zhao family are dead." Gao E said with some emotion.

The Zhao family had been in He County for generations, and they were like local tyrants. But they died quietly, like an ant stepped on by the roadside, with no one even glancing at it.

"Why do you look so sad?" Jin Ruyi looked at Gao E.

"The Zhao family is vying for the title of the richest family in He County. They are much more powerful than ours." Gao E said directly.

"Ordinary people are like this." Jin Ruyi sighed. "Our Jin family is still the richest family in Qinzhou City, but what happened?"

"Are we starting to compete for misery?" Gao E thought of the big family behind Zhiweilou.

Jin Ruyi thought about it and said, "Hey, are those scholars going to live here forever?"

"What?" Gao E thought this was the only way until the road got better.

"What if the princess falls in love with one of them?" Jin Ruyi reminded, "These are all scholars hired by Mr. Du. They can't possibly be the princess's concubines."
