After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 505 Extra ()

The old lady has been in the capital for so long. Even though she has little contact with the wives of officials, she is served by a group of people. Not only has she not aged, but she is getting younger and younger. She wears gold and silver all day long. When the eldest and third sons of the Gu family came to Beijing for the first time, they didn't even recognize that this was their mother.

They thought it was some old lady.

Old Mrs. Gu was now in high spirits. Her two sons were scolded by her like quails, and they just kept nodding their heads.

Chen Chunhua is indeed a stubborn person, but no matter how much she thinks, she cannot match Boss Gu in strength.

Boss Gu didn't dare to take any risk. Now he didn't do anything else. He just kept a close eye on Chen Chunhua at home all day long and didn't let her do anything wrong.

Gu Yun entered Jingzhao Prefecture under Gu Mingda's arrangement and returned to his old job as a minor clerk.

Although he was young, he was experienced and had an uncle who was a high-ranking official. The people in Jingzhao Prefecture were very polite to him, and soon his life in the capital was on track.

He was even lucky enough to solve a major case and was appreciated by his superiors, who married their daughter to him.

Even though Gu Yun had a difficult start, he managed to take root in the capital. He himself did not like studying, but he saw with his own eyes that the second branch of the Gu family became successful through studying, so when his own son was born, he made every effort to ensure his son's studies.

Gu Yun's action was laughed at by Old Lady Gu, who said that she was forcing her son to fly because she couldn't fly.

Although the old lady laughed at him, she also helped him brainwash his great-grandson. However, it seemed that all the spiritual energy of the Gu family was given to the second branch.

Gu Yun brainwashed his son for many years and indeed made his son develop a habit of loving reading. However, due to his limited talent, after his son passed the imperial examination, he failed in repeated examinations and finally became a minor official. Although he did not become rich, he did improve his status as a major family.

In contrast, under the leadership of Zheng Cui'er, the Third House seemed to have always been particularly sober. No matter how high the official position of Gu Mingda, the head of the Second House, became, Zheng Cui'er was always focused on doing her business.

Zheng Cui'er is very skilled in making soy products. When she first came to Beijing, she decided to open a small tofu shop. With the cooperation with the Luo family, her business is getting better and better.

When Gu Xiaoya grew up, she was a talented person. She improved the products at home and produced a tofu fruit that became popular all over Beijing.

Gu Laosan was reluctant at first, but under Zheng Cuier's insistence, he invested money to help Gu Xiaoya open a snack bar.

Even though the third wife had a son, Gu Xiaoya did not marry out. Instead, she chose to marry a son-in-law to stay in the Gu family. Her snack bar grew bigger and bigger, and she even opened several branches in the capital. The third wife no longer had to worry about food and clothing.

In comparison, her younger brother, Gu Xiaobao, the only child from the third room, seemed much more mediocre.

Gu Mingda's official position became higher and higher, and because his family members were around him, even if someone showed signs of wanting to do something bad, they would know immediately and stop him in time, so there was no scandal of a fire in the backyard.

The Gu family members in his hometown had caused several troubles, but Gu Mingda did not cover up or condone them. Instead, he sent his confidants back to his hometown to inquire about the situation from the very beginning, and brought his post to ask local officials to handle the matter impartially.

Seeing that he had no intention of indulging himself, his family members gradually gave up their illegal thoughts and lived a peaceful life.

After Liu Xiaoru married Manager Luo, even though she had the Empress Dowager's imperial decree granting the marriage, there were still many people in the Luo family who talked behind her back.

However, as Gu Mingda's official position continued to rise like a rocket, the Luo family had no time to curry favor with him, and no one dared to say that Liu Xiaoru could not have children. The competition for the head of the Luo family was originally suspenseful. Shopkeeper Luo had no children and was on the verge of being eliminated. However, because of Gu Mingda's sudden rise and the marriage between the Gu family and Prince Ding, the fate of Shopkeeper Luo finally fell to him.

Liu Xiaoru had always hoped to have her own child, but later she saw with her own eyes a young woman from the Luo family lose her life while giving birth. She became more open-minded and stopped drinking those bitter soups and medicines. She devoted herself to her own business.

She gave up the idea of ​​having children, and Shopkeeper Luo was not in a hurry either. They waited until the couple were over 30 years old. It happened that the parents of a child in the Luo family had an accident. After discussion, the couple took the baby back to their home and raised him as their own.

Liu Xiaoru's own business is also very big, but money is just a number to her.

Whenever a natural disaster occurred, the imperial court would provide relief money and grain to the local areas. Liu Xiaoru would always take the lead in donating money. Because of her actions, she was awarded a plaque of "Benevolent Merchant" by the imperial court. In this way, not only in the circle of businessmen's wives, but even in the circle of businessmen, Liu Xiaoru was the first.

Not to mention, the current emperor and empress would call her "Auntie" when they saw her.

Although Xie Xingchuan acknowledged his relatives, he did not change his surname to Gu because he remembered the Xie family's many years of raising him.

When Xie Xingchuan was sixteen years old, the border was in danger. General Xie was defeated and the foreign tribes demanded the princess' marriage.

They pointed the finger directly at Princess BoA.

If you are not a royal family, the foreigners will not agree.

Although the old emperor was getting older and his health was failing, he had lived for most of his life and had only Bao'er as his biological daughter. How could he bear to let his own daughter go to marry a foreign prince?

But apart from Baoer, there was no suitable woman among the royal family. Either their age was not right or their blood relationship was too distant. After much thought, the most suitable person turned out to be the sixteen-year-old Shen Ling.

Shen Ling was already engaged to Gu Yan, but because the eldest princess wanted to keep her daughter for a few more years, she had yet to marry her off.

The eldest princess discovered that something was wrong with the old emperor at the first moment. As she only had this one daughter, she was naturally reluctant to let her go. She couldn't help but regret that she should not have forced her daughter to stay at home.

The old emperor was hesitant, and the eldest princess was worried every day.

As a result, the Gu family was immersed in the shadow of the possibility that their eldest son’s wife might have to marry a foreigner in the future.

At the critical moment, Xie Xingchuan did not discuss with anyone, but ran directly to the old emperor and signed a military order.

"I will not retreat, and neither will the soldiers I lead. We will definitely drive the foreigners out of the border town! If we fail, I will die!"

Xie Xingchuan likes the capital and likes being with the Gu family, but he knows very well that he will eventually have to return to the battlefield.

When Gu Yan learned about this, he blamed himself deeply, thinking that because of his own happiness, his younger brother was put in a dangerous situation.

Xie Xingchuan comforted his elder brother for his future marriage harmony, "Brother, the capital is so prosperous that I am getting lazy. If it weren't for you guys in the capital, I would have returned to the border long ago. Even if Miss Shen hadn't happened, for my adoptive father, I would have asked His Majesty to order me to guard the border."
