I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 899 Got Her Idea

To be honest, Xia Ying was quite proud of herself!

Although Gu Yuanlong's current success is inseparable from the good genes given by his innate parents.But in the past ten years, her selfless devotion to Gu Yuanlong has also had a great impact on this child's growth, so Xia Ying doesn't think Gao's words are wrong.These words themselves are fully deserved!
She also raised a smile: "Thank you Mrs. Gao for the compliment, but compared with your family, our family is far behind!"

"How could it be? Madam Gu, you don't know. Every year, my husband and his nephews will go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing to experience the people's livelihood. Every time he comes back, he will lament with me that the life of the common people is difficult. The reason why everyone says they are poor It is difficult to have a precious child, not only because it is difficult for ordinary people to have a household registration in Yan's family all year round, and who can afford money to educate their children? There is also a more important point, that is-in such an atmosphere, there are not many pawns Parents would have the consciousness to ask their children to go to study and test their academic achievements. But you just did it! And you did it so well! So compared with your family, our Cao family lost!" Gao said sincerely.

Her words really touched people's hearts!

Moreover, every single word was spoken from Xia Ying's point of view, without any pretentious flattery.

It was only after dealing with her once that Xia Ying truly realized what Gu Yuanlong said about his biological mother's shrewdness and ability to behave.

This one can really talk, and she knows exactly what people want to hear!
Even though she knew in her heart that this person didn't really praise herself, Xia Ying still felt very comfortable being praised by her.

But at the same time, she felt that this Gao family was terrifying!
As long as Mrs. Gao wants to please anyone, she will definitely please everyone.After all, how many people in the world can withstand the continuous bombing of such sincere sugar-coated shells?

Fortunately, Xia Ying kept thinking about Gu Yuanlong in her heart, so she didn't let herself float up.

Now, she only replied lightly: "In this case, I will accept your compliment from Mrs. Cao with a cheeky face."

"Where, this is what Madam Gu deserves!" Gao Shi nodded with a smile.

And today, Gao seems to be particularly interested in Xia Ying.After seeing the rest of the people around, she came to Xia Ying's side again.

"Mrs. Gu, I don't know if there are any more places around you. Could you allow us, mother and daughter, to put two stools?"

What can Xia Ying say?
In other people's territory, how could she have the right to call the shots?

And as soon as Gao's words fell, the servant girls in Prince Qin's mansion had already moved two chairs and placed them beside Xia Ying.

Xia Ying only nodded in agreement.

In the next second, Gao Shi and her stepdaughter both sat down beside her.

Now that they had already sat down next to each other, Gao Shi inevitably started talking with Xia Ying again.Soon, their topic naturally shifted to Gu Yuanlong——

"By the way, Mrs. Gu, since you came to the Prince Qin's mansion for a banquet today, I wonder if Gu Jieyuan came here with you?"

Xia Ying's heart trembled.

"No!" She shook her head quickly, "There is only less than half a year left before Chunwei, and we have just settled down in the capital. This kid is busy visiting teachers everywhere, and he and Jinke are going to attend Chunwei together. Discuss poems and essays together, how can you come out with me when you have time?"

"That's it! It seems that I have witnessed and don't understand Yuan Gong's demeanor today." Gao said with a face of regret, "But it doesn't matter, our Cao family also has a few young people who will participate in Chunwei this year, and we can let them meet later. , Let’s share and learn from each other.”

She thought it was beautiful.

Now Gu Yuanlong is communicating with and studying with students recommended by the great Confucians of the dynasty, and these people are all outstanding in scholarship.Gao's so-called letting the Cao family boys meet and communicate with Gu Yuanlong, in fact, is to push the Cao family boys to the side of those Confucian students?
After returning from Zhai's mansion that day, Xia Ying had already inquired about it. Although the shell of the family that Gao married was still looking bright and beautiful, the reputation among scholars has been declining.In the past ten years, there was only one Jinshi in Cao's family, and he was also a Jinshi on the third list.The son of a wealthy family who inherited poems and books didn't even enter the top two lists. This incident almost made people laugh out loud!
Up to now, they have been reduced to using Gu Yuanlong's line to provide a line for the boys in the family, which is ridiculous to say the least.

"This, it depends on the child's own wishes!" Xia Ying casually perfunctory.

At this time, she began to appreciate the arrangement of separate receptions for male and female guests in this era!Otherwise, sooner or later Gao would have to meet Gu Yuanlong before Chunwei.

But now there is such a barrier, as long as they are more careful, Gao will not be able to see Gu Yuanlong.As long as you don't see him, Gu Yuanlong is safe for the time being!
But even if she was rejected by her, Gao Shi did not let Xia Ying go.She pulled Xia Ying to ask about the Yaji in Chen Shanchang's residence, and following this topic, she inquired about the Qianjin Bookstore led by Xia Ying.

After going back and forth like this, not only the two of them chatted passionately, but also Mao Linglong and Mrs. Mao who came later joined in the conversation.

Even at the end, the other female relatives around were also attracted to come over, even Qin Wang's side concubine came over to ask a few words.

It was also at this time that the noble ladies in the capital found out that Xia Ying and Mao Linglong had been working to help the poor women in Jiangbian Province!And they have worked hard for so many years, and they have already achieved results!

Seeing that everyone was very interested in this matter, Xia Ying also took the opportunity to announce the fruits of their labor.

"Since our family moved to the provincial capital of Jiangbian Province, until this year, in a total of five years, our Qianjin Bookstore has accumulatively earned 780 taels of silver. After deducting expenses, the net profit is also 340. Eight thousand three hundred and forty-four thousand taels. We used all the money to help women in Jiangbian Province, and the number of people who were helped reached nine thousand four hundred and seventy. And among the more than 440 people, we also took in more than 9000 The girls who had lost their livelihoods started to work in Qianjin Bookstore one after another, and they all did a good job! The whole family can eat and clothe themselves!"

When these ladies heard this, everyone clapped their hands and applauded.

Some people who eat fast and chant the Buddha's name even recite the Buddha's name contentedly.

After that, Xia Ying looked forward to the future positively.

"This is just the beginning. Didn't Master Chen Shan of my Four Seas Academy help me convene an elegant gathering of calligraphers and painters? After the gathering, all of them gave their works to Qianjin Bookstore, and I am also working day and night We will work hard to sort it out. Wait for another three months at most, and this album will be published together. All the money exchanged at that time will be used to help poor women in the countryside."

The people present looked at Xia Ying with different eyes instantly.
