The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 21 Trading
We can no longer put off returning to Kyoto.

Gao Jinying is the county magistrate of Puzhou. He cannot leave at will without an order from the court, so Gao Jinying and his wife will definitely not leave Puzhou.

As for Qin Ruizhi herself, she had a record of instigating Su Pan to return to Beijing. Gao Jinying and his wife would definitely not agree to her returning to Kyoto alone.

However, if Gao Lingchu and Gao Lingzhou can be persuaded to return to Beijing with her, things will go much smoother.

Qin Ruizhi made up her mind and began to comfort Gao Lingchu: "Achu, don't cry. Even if you cry so much that the Pu River bursts its embankment, the gift money you sent will never come back. At worst, we will have to suffer ourselves and take care of ourselves. Eat less in the future, wear old clothes with patches, and you can get by."

Hearing what Qin Ruizhi said, Gao Lingchu cried even more sadly. Originally, Gao Jinying was an upright official, and life in the Gao family was very tight. Now that he went out to earn 1000 taels at a time, he was short of food and clothing. He might as well stop living. Forget it.

"Sister, we used to live very frugally, but now we are reduced to wearing patched clothes. Then we are really worse than Xiaonian. Xiaonian has never worn patched clothes."

Xiaonian only worked in Gaofu and did not sign a contract of sale. Gaofu was benevolent and did not treat his servants harshly, so Xiaonian's life was pretty good.

"What Mom did this time really went too far." Gao Lingzhou was fuming, but the gift money had already been sent out. If it was impossible to go back, after much deliberation, he could only go to his father to complain. Although he couldn't get the gift ticket back, at least he could Next time, I will definitely not give so much gift money.

Yan Yingzhu has just gotten married. After getting married, she will have children. The child's birthday ceremony and birthday will all cost money.Absolutely, absolutely cannot give so much gift money again.

"I'm going to tell daddy and ask him to take good care of mom. He must never make such a decision on his own again."

Letting Gao Jinyin restrain Sun Xiumin was a good idea for the Gao sisters, but it was too useless for Qin Ruizhi.

She wants to go back to Kyoto.

Qin Ruizhi stopped Gao Lingzhou and said, "Ah Zhou, my uncle is busy with official duties and is focused on government affairs. Even if you tell him, he will ignore it and it will be useless. I have a good idea. Do you want to listen to it? ?”

"Sister, do you have any good ideas?" Gao Lingzhou urged.

Gao Lingchu also became interested and moved closer to Gao Lingzhou, waiting to hear Qin Ruizhi's opinions.

Qin Ruizhi cleared her throat, "Let's go back to Kyoto."

Going back to Kyoto is a good idea.

A few days ago, Sun Xiumin mentioned to Gao Lingzhou that he wanted to take the two sisters back to Kyoto.Gao Lingzhou was full of expectations, waiting for the date to return to Kyoto.

Gao Lingchu's eyes lit up, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes immediately darkened, "Sister, you're not still thinking about Su Pan, are you? If you secretly want to reconcile with Su Pan under the pretext of returning to Kyoto, I I don’t want to do that at all. If that’s the case, then I would rather stay in Puzhou, eat porridge and wear patches, than I don’t want you to make the same mistake again.”

"Ah?" Qin Ruizhi's expression twisted, and she reached out and poked Gao Lingchu's head, "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about in your head? Who do you think your sister is? I'm such a arrogant person." For a person who despises himself, being humiliated once is not enough, but he has to be humiliated a second time. Besides, how many lives do I have? Death once is not enough, how many more times do I want to die?"

It makes sense. Gao Lingchu patted his little heart. It turned out that he was overthinking, "Sister, I know I was wrong. I have wrongly blamed you. Don't be angry with Achu."

"Why would I be angry with you? I think that the Gao family is from the same family. The Gao family in Puzhou is the Gao family, and the Gao family in Kyoto is also the Gao family. It makes no sense that we are the only ones living a hard life in Puzhou, so Let’s go back to Kyoto and live a leisurely and wealthy life hiding under the wings of the Gao family.”

Gao Lingzhou nodded and agreed: "Mother said she would take us back to Kyoto..."

Qin Ruizhi's expression froze, "When did my aunt say that?" Gao Lingchu was also curious: "Why did mother never tell me?"

"Just..." Gao Lingzhou felt guilty. She remembered that her mother had told her that her father's promotion had not been finalized yet, so it was best to keep quiet, so she shut up at the right time and said nothing more.

"Tell me, when will aunt tell you that we are going back to Kyoto?" Qin Ruizhi asked, vaguely feeling that this would be a big problem.

"Mother never said that it was me who wanted to return to Kyoto." Gao Lingzhou denied it, his expression flashing, and he was lying at first glance.

"Ah Zhou, I'm counting the time. It's estimated that Yan Yingzhu's wedding car has just left Puzhou. I'll ride fast and catch up in less than a day. Otherwise, I'll catch up on horseback now. If I catch up, I'll follow them back to Beijing. , you can go to Su Mansion and be a concubine for Su Pan."

Qin Ruizhi looked at Gao Lingzhou jokingly, "I have stayed in Puzhou enough anyway, and I will definitely go back to Kyoto. Either I can go back to the Gao family in a dignified manner and be a eldest lady who is surrounded by everyone, or I can grovel and go to the Su family to be a concubine."

"Okay..." Gao Lingzhou was really fed up with Qin Ruizhi's threats, but this was still her weakness, so he could only tell the truth what her mother told her that day: "On that time when my sister made a fuss about going to Xiangzhou, my mother said Dad handled the refugees in Xiangzhou very well this time and did not let the people of Puzhou be implicated. This is a great credit. He may be promoted. Then we will return to Kyoto together."

Can you get promoted if you handle refugees well?And if you get promoted, you will definitely be transferred back to Kyoto?

Qin Ruizhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she secretly thought:
Isn't Sun Xiumin too confident?
During the Donggong Rebellion 20 years ago, Gao Jinying was implicated and demoted to Puzhou. From a small county clerk, it took him three years to be promoted to county magistrate, and he has been stagnant ever since.

In the past 20 years, I have made many achievements, and I should have been promoted long ago.

The official position has not been promoted in 20 years, indicating that someone does not want him to be promoted.

But now, he can be promoted again, which means that someone is helping him operate and he can be promoted.

Su Yiling is now the Prime Minister Zuo, and also serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in charge of the appointment of officials. Just today, Yan Yingzhu married into the Su family with a high-profile dowry worth a long street.

Not long ago, Mrs. Banquet Sun Xiuyang sent people to kill Qin Ruizhi in Whirlpool Ridge, and Yan Yingzhu stabbed Qin Ruizhi again. She should have been imprisoned for a serious crime, but Sun Xiumin forced Qin Ruizhi to swallow this breath for the first time, and let the matter be settled and not ruin the Yan family and the family. Yan Yingzhu’s future.

This was Sun Xiumin who dared to bring a knife to Su's house to propose to Qin Ruizhi.

It turns out it’s not sisterly love.

This is a deal.

The final beneficiary is Gao Jinying, the Gao family.

Using the Yan family as an intermediary, they surrendered to the Su family in exchange for a good future for Gao Jinying, which in turn allowed Gao Lingchu and Gao Lingzhou to improve their status and find a better marriage.

A gift of 1000 taels is really not much.

In that case, let's go back to Kyoto.
