Farming and reading family

In fact, the eldest princess had other plans.

These people are following Gao E now because they have never seen the prosperity of the outside world.

Once they arrive in the capital, if the princess gives them enough preferential treatment, maybe they will choose to stay.

Of course, she would not treat Gao E unfairly and would give her some gold as compensation when the time comes.

Those three guys are so skilled in martial arts, it's a waste to keep them here.

"Actually, the Golden Princess doesn't have to come out." Gao E smiled helplessly.

The princess looked at Gao E. She had never been treated like this in the court. But what Gao E said was true: "Don't blame me if your people can't come back."

"I respect their choice." Gao E knew that the eldest princess would not easily give up on winning over Lu Qingluo and the others.

The eldest princess didn't expect Gao E to be so magnanimous, she must be pretending.

Everyone wants to plant orchids and jade trees in their own yard, and she doesn't believe Gao E is an exception.

Princess Qingfeng came after the eldest princess had discussed these things with her.

"Princess." Gao E felt that she was here to say goodbye.

"Sister Gao, please still call me Que'er. I like this name." Princess Qingfeng said with a smile.

Gao E nodded: "I made something for you to eat on the way. If you want to eat something in the future, just write to me and I will have someone bring it to you."

Princess Qingfeng knew that this was unlikely. The journey from the capital to He County was long and the train would break down along the way. "Okay."

"Don't worry, when my business grows bigger in the future, maybe I will go to the capital and come to see you." Gao E saw that Que'er was a little disappointed.

"Okay." Princess Qingfeng nodded. "Then, with the Princess's Mansion protecting us, no one will dare to mess with Sister Gao's business."

Gao E thought: "Thanks to you."

"My mother asked Sister Lu and the others to send us off. She will most likely try to find a way to let them stay. Sister Gao should talk to them." Princess Qingfeng reminded.

Gao E thought for a moment and said, "For many people, being able to work in the Princess's Mansion is much better than working here. If they really want to, I respect their choice."

"Sister Gao, don't you think it's a pity?" Princess Qingfeng didn't want this to happen.

"What's there to be sad about? Many people in our lives have been accompanying each other for a while, just like you and us. If they have a better choice, we should congratulate them." Gao E was very calm.

Princess Qingfeng still felt it was a pity.

"Don't think too much. You may meet more people, better people, on the road ahead. He doesn't need to worry so much. If you force him to stay, he will only cause resentment." Gao E said with a smile.

Princess Qingfeng nodded and took out a stack of banknotes. "Give this to Zheng Xiaoshun." Then she took out a few banknotes and said, "This is for Lu Hao."

"Are you going to thank them for saving your life?" Gao E did not refuse.

"They are both grown up now, it's time for them to get married." Princess Qingfeng suddenly sounded a little old-fashioned.

"As for getting married...it depends on fate." Gao E didn't force it.

Just like when they are thirteen or fourteen years old, whether they are boys or girls, they all want to find someone to marry them. When they are eighteen or nineteen, they are extremely anxious. However, when they are in their twenties or thirties, no one says anything anymore. People around them assume that they are widows or widowers and just let it go.

The two chatted for a long time before Princess Qingfeng left reluctantly.

As soon as she left, Lu Qingluo came in: "Can I not see that old woman off?"

"Yes." Gao E nodded, "but I don't have two thousand taels of gold."

Although Lu Qingluo was not greedy for money, the other party gave too much: "Then how should I spend these two thousand taels of gold?"

"Donate a library to Qingtan Academy." Gao E said directly, "When the time comes, I will erect a statue of you in it so that everyone who goes to the library to read will know you."

"Why should I let them know what I'm doing?" Lu Qingluo was not interested.

"Then when I build a girls' school in the future, you can donate a yard so that everyone there will remember you." Gao E changed the place.

"Why should I donate it to you?" Lu Qingluo felt that Gao E wanted the gold.

"Because I need it." Gao E said with a smile.

"Forget it, I'll just make the trip." Lu Qingluo said with embarrassment.

That night, Gao E asked Luo Dagang to pack up her carriage. The carriage originally belonged to Princess Qingfeng, but she painted it black.

Before dawn the next day, the eldest princess and Princess Qingfeng left in a carriage.

Prince Bin had a lot of grievances in the back. Why did he have to take the official road with the guards from the Princess's Mansion?

Isn’t his life a life?

If it really doesn't work, then just don't go together. Why do we have to go together?

Gao E sympathized with Prince Bin for two seconds, and just had to accept her fate of having such an unreliable sister.

Mo Xun also wanted to leave, but he felt relieved knowing that the people from the Yun family, Wei family and Jin family were living well here.

It was not until noon that the princess's guards escorted the fake princess away in a grand procession.

When Gao E saw them leave and go home, she leaned back on a bamboo chair and relaxed completely.

Chen Ke also came back and asked: "If these people leave, can Zheng Yan and the others come back to live here?"

It's quite crowded with so many children living in the school.

"Okay." Gao E nodded. "Mr. Du and the others have no objections these days, right?"

"No, Mr. Du and Mr. Hong are busy with the paper mill. They said that they will have to ask a bookshop to produce the poetry collection this time, which will be a considerable expense." Chen Keyong's voice became lower and lower as he spoke.

Before, he thought that the four thousand taels he brought back was a lot, but after the gathering, he realized that the little money he had was just a drop in the bucket, and his wife should have paid the lion's share.

"The poetry collection still needs to be published." Gao E was very sure that this would bring both fame and fortune. "I'll have to trouble Mr. Hong to do it later."

Chen Ke hesitated again and again: "Can the poem I read not be included in the collection?"

"My husband's poems have been circulated. If they are not included in the collection, how will others view our collection?" Gao E knew that Chen Ke was struggling again.

Chen Ke was really worried about what would happen if someone asked him to write poetry in the future.

"Don't worry, my husband. Things will work out in the end. We can talk about the future later," Gao E comforted.

After much deliberation, Chen Kesi finally left.

The next day Xu Boyan came to see Gao E.

"The princess and the others have left. Is there anything else, Lord Xu?" Gao E asked with a smile.

"There's also the matter of Lu Yong." Xu Boyan reminded.

Lu Yong was really unlucky as he was locked up for so many days because of the eldest princess's matter.

At first he was very calm, thinking that Xu Boyan would not dare to do anything to him, but in the end he was left alone in the cell by Xu Boyan.

As the days passed, even Lu Yong in white couldn't hold it anymore.

"Oh." Gao E had forgotten about this matter. "No movement from the Tao family?"

"The eldest princess has sent a message to the Tao family. What else does the Tao family want to do?" Xu Boyan thought Gao E underestimated the eldest princess's deterrent power.

"Does that mean the Tao family won't set their sights on Ghost Crying Mountain anymore?" Gao E was happy that this matter could be resolved.

"You can say that, but any secret moves are another matter." Xu Boyan couldn't guarantee that either.
