Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 120 Dispelling doubts
Under the service of Uncle He and Xiaoman, the two of them retreated after dinner.In the quiet living room, the topic of the morning continued.

"Now I am a brave lieutenant general of the third rank, and the adopted son of the mighty Marquis. You know all these things."

Chu Tiankuo first mentioned things about himself that Jiang Zhixia already knew.

Seeing Jiang Zhixia nodding, he went on to say: "The identity of the righteous son of the mighty Marquis really doesn't have much right except what you said to bluff people. But..."

He paused for a while, as if organizing his words, and said slowly: "However, although this identity does not have much power, it will still have some effect. Otherwise, the mighty Marquis would not recognize us as Adopted son. Speaking of which, Marquis Mighty Wu recognized me as adopted son not simply to thank me and my father for saving our lives."

After he finished speaking, Jiang Zhixia's eyes widened in surprise, looking extremely cute.

His hands were itchy, and he couldn't help it, so he flicked her forehead lightly.I saw Jiang Zhixia's eyes widen, and then he covered his forehead with his hands in a daze.

He looked cute and laughed out loud.

When he saw that Jiang Zhixia was about to lose his temper, he hurriedly continued: "To put it bluntly, we are just using each other. He wants to use us to help his son. And we are just using his background to save ourselves. power."

After saying this, his expression became sharp.

"Three years ago, Marquis Weiwu returned to Beijing to report on his duties. Most of the Zhenwei Army stayed in the border town, under the jurisdiction of his eldest and second sons. This small part of the Zhenwei Army, after returning with him, was stationed in the At the camp outside the capital. He recognized the three of us as adoptive sons, just to put his third and fourth sons in the Zhenwei Army in the capital, so that we could assist him. And I also used him I opened Zhu Cuilou because of my identity and background. At first, it was just to make a living—I wanted to earn some more money, so that I could distribute it to the survivors of my brothers who died in battle.”

Chu Tiankuo said melancholy.

One will be a million bones.

The living people naturally survived, but who can remember the dead people?
Even if no one deducts the pension money issued by the imperial court, it is not enough for the whole family to live a good life.

What's more, there will always be someone in the court to lend a hand.The pension money in the hands of the bereaved family members is really pitifully small.

"It's just because of your blessings that by accident, Zhu Cuilou has become bigger."

Chu Tiankuo looked at Jiang Zhixia with a smile and said.

Zhu Cuilou was originally just an ordinary jewelry shop that disappeared from the crowd.As a result, with the blessing of Zhixia's jewelry pattern, it has become a top jewelry store - even the empress's phoenix crown was handed over to Zhu Cuilou this year.

You know, in the past, the empress's jewelry was all made by the Shangyi Bureau.

For this reason, Jiang Zhixia specially drew a series of jewelry patterns of the hairpin head and the phoenix.

At present, Zhu Cuilou has opened several branches, and the business is also booming.

"I have a military position, and the purpose of opening a shop is to make a little more money. Naturally, I won't open everything like a professional businessman. After all, my energy is limited. However, because of this Shop, I just discovered that opening a shop is not just about earning a living.”

Seeing Jiang Zhixia's confused look, he smiled again, feeling that seeing Zhixia had a lot of expressions today.

Gentle, kind, happy, dazed, surprised, confused. . .

"When shopkeeper Xu accidentally told me that there were two noble ladies buying jewelry in the shop and chatting, I found some information in it. So, based on those information, I got to know some people. Later, You get more information and you get more connections.”

Chu Tiankuo didn't go into detail about what kind of information and who he met—after all, Zhixia didn't understand what he said.

"In this way, I understand the importance of shops. I also understand why there are so many shops in the families of honorable ministers. Shops are not only about making money, but also an information network. On a larger scale, they are also a network of relationships. "

Chu Tiankuo said flatly.

It's just that he understood too late, so the power he managed was only more than two years old, and he wasted the first year when he first came to the capital.

"So, now I have opened a restaurant again. It is still relatively rare for men to go to jewelry shops. It is limited to get information only from women. After all, there are many men going to restaurants. Nowadays, The restaurant has only been open for a few days, not to mention the profit, but only the information I got and the people I came into contact with, which is much more than the jewelry store. In this way, the jewelry store provides me with money, and the restaurant provides me with information. I use these to develop my own power."

Seeing Jiang Zhixia's stupefied look, he thought that Zhixia didn't understand what he meant when he said these things.He hurriedly said reassuringly, "It's normal that you don't understand these things."

Jian Jiang Zhixia frowned upon hearing this.

He quickly added, "I'm not saying you don't understand because you're not smart."

Chu Tiankuo frowned, thinking about how to say something more appropriate.

"Before you, after all, you entered the palace directly from the countryside. Later, you simply worked as a rough envoy in the palace. The concubines and powerful palace people you came into contact with were relatively few, and there were not many things you encountered. You don't understand, nor do you understand their treacherous thoughts, their methods of fighting for power. Your mind is very pure, and you don't understand those schemes at all. Therefore, it will be easier to think and do things. There will be more."

Chu Tiankuo kept staring at Jiang Zhixia and said that he was afraid that she would get angry.

However, Jiang Zhixia was not angry at all, instead he looked thoughtful.

Chu Tiankuo is right, he really doesn't know how to plan.

In her past and present lives, she didn't know how to do it.

In his previous life, he had never personally experienced a battle.

The company she works for is originally a small company with not many employees, so there shouldn't be many intrigues, right?
Even if there was a struggle within the company, it had nothing to do with her.Naturally, she would not pay attention or understand.

Therefore, even though she has watched a lot of Gongdou dramas and novels of Gongdou Zhaidou, she still doesn't know how to calculate.

Every time she reads a novel and substitutes herself, she feels that if it is herself, she will not be able to figure out those strategies even if she is killed.

Even if he could barely think of a strategy, it would probably be full of loopholes.

In this life, although she is in the queen's palace.However, she is just a poor maid.

Even if there were some chances later, she rarely had the chance to appear in front of the nobles in the palace.

In the palace, she had come into contact with the most noble people, that is, the wives who came to the palace to meet.

But even if they were in contact with wives, they were just simply leading the way, serving tea and snacks and other small things.There will be some rewards.

However, a married woman will not make any plans in front of a court lady.

So, without contact, without experience, how can you really have a scheming and a strategy just by relying on paper?

　Adding more holidays is really terrible. . . .

　　However, thank you all for your support.

　　Your support is my motivation to continue.

　　Thank you for your rewards, various tickets, and subscriptions.

　　I wish you all a new year with endless banknotes.
