Farming and reading family

In Luo Qing'er's opinion, keeping Yunzhou here is a great favor to Yunshuang.

If Yunshuang can follow Prince Qing to further progress in the future, he will be an incredible backer.

"It's only a matter of time before he sets up his own household." Gao E knew that he was a backer, but she didn't intend to repay the favor. "I can still force others to stay in my own house."

Luo Qing'er won't say anything more, Sister Gao will definitely be right in the end.

The two men talked and walked back carrying the crab basket.

Chen Ke was already receiving Xu Boyan, but the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Seeing Gao E and the others return, Chen Ke secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Madam, Lord Xu is here."

Gao E nodded: "My husband is chatting with Master Xu. I will go prepare dinner and keep Master Xu for dinner."

Chen Ke laughed dryly: "Okay."

He is the man of the family, so of course he has to be the one to entertain the men outside.

Xu Boyan saw Gao E go to prepare dinner as soon as she came back, so he had to continue chatting with Chen Ke.

The two of them didn't have much common topic, so they just chatted about Qingtan Academy. Xu Boyan was also surprised to know that Qingtan Yaji had been cancelled.

He knew that the people at the Qingtan Yaji last year forced the Danyang Society to disband. This was good news for him as it would put an end to the Tao family's trouble.

Before, he had thought that if he seized the opportunity to attack the Tao family, it would be troublesome if those literati made trouble.

Through these literati, the Tao family portrayed themselves as kind and generous, making people completely ignore their violent and plundering nature.

Without these literati getting in the way, things would be much simpler.

Everyone had dinner together. Chen Ke found an excuse to go to the school, and Gao E arranged for Xu Boyan and others to stay.

"Lord Xu is going to be promoted again this time?" Gao E joked.

"It's not a promotion, it's just a change of official position." Xu Boyan said with a smile.

"Then Lord Xu must make good arrangements here in Qinzhou City. It would be better to appoint an official like Lord Cao. I don't want a bunch of people to come and cause trouble for me as soon as Lord Xu leaves." Gao E joked.

"The new prefect of Tanzhou is named Deng Yu, and he's from the Deng family of Anping. This is a trade-off." Xu Boyan didn't hide it. "I don't know him very well, but children from aristocratic families tend to be more careful about their reputation."

Gao E sneered when she heard Xu Boyan say this.

"What?" Xu Boyan was puzzled.

"It's nothing, all crows are black." Gao E said directly.

When Prince Qing gained some momentum, he began to win over the aristocratic families, and official positions became the price of their exchange.

"Lord Xu, what do you think you can use to compare with the aristocratic families in the future?" Gao E looked at Xu Boyan.

Xu Boyan was silent for a while: "I was the one who facilitated this."

Since Xu Boyan said so, Gao E didn't say anything.

"By the way, is Dachang a little turbulent now?" Gao E changed the subject.

"Dachang is in turmoil?" Xu Boyan frowned. "What have you heard?"

"I heard that bandits are rampant nowadays. If the people lived and worked in peace, there wouldn't be so many bandits." Gao E speculated.

Xu Boyan smiled and said, "For this kind of thing, all it takes is one corrupt official. There were also many horse bandits around Qinzhou City before."

"The court doesn't care?" Gao E saw that Xu Boyan said it as a matter of course.

"Didn't you say that all crows are black? If you kill one greedy person, another will come. There are very few people like Cao Geng." Xu Boyan said helplessly.

Gao E didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

"Who built the road to your village?" Xu Boyan thought of this.

"Our village and Luoyun Village built it, and I'll provide the meals." Gao E said lazily.

"It's well repaired." Xu Boyan praised.

Gao E naturally knew it was correct.

The two of them talked about the honeycomb coal shop in Qinzhou City.

The shop she is using now was rented by Xu Boyan for ten years, and it is under his name. No one should touch it, so it is enough for Gao E to use.

Gao E was a little worried when she heard that it was rented, but with Xu Boyan in front of her, it should be fine.

When Gao E came back from chatting with Xu Boyan, Luo Qing'er was already waiting for her in her room.

"Go back to your room and sleep." Gao E saw that Luo Qing'er was only wearing her inner clothes.

"I have something to talk to my elder sister about." Luo Qing'er refused to leave.

"If it's not a good thing, there's no need to talk about it." Gao E said directly.

Luo Qing'er was not angry either, and stepped aside: "I want to open a Happy Cuisine in the capital."

Gao E looked at Luo Qing'er in surprise: "Xu Boyan let you drive?"

"What does what I am going to do have to do with him?" Luo Qing'er said proudly.

Gao E thought Luo Qing'er kept calling him "Brother Boyan" and thought she would obey Xu Boyan in everything. "Do you have money?"

"I can take Brother Boyan's." Luo Qing'er said confidently.

Gao E laughed and said, "Okay, even if he lets you take it."

"There are many women in the capital who have their own businesses." Luo Qing'er said seriously, "Brother Boyan will definitely marry a noble lady. When he gets married, not to mention that I take his money, even if we live in the same courtyard, I might be regarded as a thorn in his side."

Gao E looked at Luo Qing'er and asked, "Did Xu Boyan tell you that he was going to marry a noblewoman from the capital?"

"It doesn't necessarily have to be from the capital." Luo Qing'er analyzed seriously, "Brother Boyan is weak now. My identity as Prince Bin's adopted sister is actually of little use. Only by marrying a noble lady can he gain a firm foothold."

Gao E thought of what Xu Boyan said about the position of Qinzhou prefect being a deal with the Deng family.

So whoever he marries at that time will be a deal.

The greater the power of Prince Qing, the smaller Xu Boyan's role will be, so he also has to consider himself.

"I thought you would be with Xu Boyan." Gao E looked at Luo Qing'er.

Although Luo Qing'er talked about revenge, she could see that Luo Qing'er was interested in Xu Boyan.

Luo Qing'er did not deny it: "I have to take revenge, I have to make Brother Boyan's life better."

Gao E nodded and said, "If you really want to open Huanxizhu in the capital, why not give 10% of your shares to the Princess?"

"Okay." Luo Qing'er nodded.

Prince Bin refused to let her go. She had not blocked the arrow for Prince Bin in vain. Even if Prince Bin did not interfere in state affairs, she could not watch others bully his benefactor.

The two began to discuss opening a Huanxizu restaurant in the capital.

Opening a Huanxizhu restaurant in Beijing is a bit more complicated than in other places, because there are too many powerful people there, and it is a bit difficult to gain a foothold.

Moreover, according to Gao E's pricing, Huanxizhu is just ordinary people's food in Beijing. It must be adjusted in Beijing. At the very least, it must be mid-range restaurant.

This requires some effort in ingredients and service.

Xu Boyan spent a night at Chen's house and was about to leave with Luo Qing'er the next day, but who knew that someone came from the Princess's Mansion.

The person who came was the eldest princess's confidant Xue Heng, who asked Gao E to hide Princess Qingfeng.

Gao E didn't need to hide this. Zheng Xiaoshun and Que'er never came back after they followed Du Weiqing and others to Dancheng last year.

At first, I would write to her and tell her about the new and exotic seafood I ate, but later I wrote less and less.

Gao E only knew that they were now living in Youyan Villa, but she didn't know where exactly it was.

"Did something happen in the capital?" Xu Boyan asked solemnly.
