Chapter 346 Princess Rui Arrives
Seeing that the manager spoke a little disrespectfully, Gu Xi frowned and looked at her.
"Manager Chen is dissatisfied."
Manager Chen listened to the eldest princess's cold words.
He was so scared that he quickly knelt down and said, "I am speechless. Please forgive me, Princess."
All the people from Jinxiu Pavilion nearby also knelt down.
Manager Chen just started to feel scared.
This is the eldest princess. I am really confused.
Although the princess has not gone out in recent years and has no idea about worldly affairs, her status is unmatched.
Song Yiyi looked at her grandmother: "Grandma, Yiyi will not lie."
Shen Xia looked at the people around him who were trembling with fear.
Then he said to Gu Xi: "Mom, let them all get up!"
Gu Xi glanced at a few people and said, "Everyone, get up! Go down! Have someone deliver the finished product in half a month."
Manager Chen stood up and said, "Thank you, Princess. I'll deliver it in half a month."
Watching them leave.
Shen Xia looked at Gu Xi: "Mom, Yi Yi didn't lie, Shengshi Fanhua belongs to our family."
Gu Xi looked at Song Yiyi in surprise.
Then he said, "Really?"
Shen Xia nodded: "Really, that thing is just expensive outside, there is really no need to spend that money."
After listening to Shen Xia's words, Gu Xi realized that she didn't know much about this prosperous era.
But I just heard from the manager that it would cost two hundred thousand taels of silver to buy two rolls of this colorful seven-color glazed gauze.
This alone is enough to show that Shengshi Fanhua’s industry is quite large.
Shen Xia continued, "At this time, I came to Beijing because customers in the north felt that it was too far to go to my hometown to get the goods, so my third brother and I discussed building two branches, one in the south and one in the north, to make it easier for everyone to get the goods."
Gu Xi never asked Shen Xia about her three husbands.
Suddenly discovering my daughter is not that simple.
Then he asked, "What do you do, my husband?"
"My eldest brother is a fourth-rank general in General Xiao Bei's hands."
"In Xiao Bei's hands?"
"Yes, they were my mother's subordinates back then."
"Then I'll talk to Xiao Bei. The fourth rank is still too low."
Shen Xia shook her head: "Mom, no need, wait for big brother to develop on his own."
Gu Xi looked at Shen Xia's refusal and did not force it: "What about the second one?"
"My second brother is farming at home!"
"Ah! This second one is a little off." Gu Xi was stunned.
"No, my second brother is a third-rank official in charge of agriculture."
Gu Xi was confused. When did the Si Nong have a third-rank official? Aren’t all officials of the fourth rank?
Nanny Gui reminded her, "Princess, a few years ago, a man named Shennong appeared in the south. He made great changes to agricultural development and doubled the country's grain production. His Majesty specially appointed him as a third-rank official in charge of agriculture and originally wanted him to come to Beijing, but he said he could better study crops in the countryside."
But I didn’t expect that he was the princess’s husband.
Gu Xi smiled and said, "As expected of my daughter, Gu Xi, you can create a bright future even in a muddy land. What about the fifth child?"
Shen Xia was embarrassed: "Ayu, you are still young, you just passed the exam, and you are still studying."
"How young is that?"
"Seventeen."
"Okay! This one is a little worse, but it's small anyway, as long as it pleases you."
Shen Xia really admires Gu Xi's openness!
Although she was open-minded, she had never thought about finding several husbands and had been guarding her husband all these years.
Gu Xi was not satisfied with Shen Xia's husbands at first, but after getting to know them more deeply, she found that they were quite acceptable.
So she decided to respect Yuan'er's wishes, and if Yuan'er no longer wanted to find a new partner, then let her go.
These men still have potential and room for improvement, and their abilities can be enhanced through training.
However, she was worried about how the Rui Palace would react to this matter.
In fact, Gu Xi thought in her heart that these husbands could only be concubines, and the one from the Gu family was the most suitable to be the master. It was said that Gu Zizhan had been making a name for himself on the battlefield over the years and was now a general of the third rank.
But the problem is, I don’t know whether Gu Zizhan is willing to accept this arrangement.
That boy has been very smart since he was young and has his own plans in mind.
Back then, despite the large age gap between the two, Gu Xi originally did not agree to this marriage because of the huge age difference, but after seeing Gu Zizhan, she agreed.
I also think he has a promising future and is smarter than his father.
While Gu Xi was still thinking about these things.
Butler Ming came in and reported: "Princess, Princess Rui is here to visit."
When Shen Xia heard it, she realized it was Princess Rui.
Gu Xi looked at Shen Xia: "Yuan Er, do you want to go with us?"
Shen Xia shook her head: "Go, mother! I won't see outsiders."
"Okay, Yuan'er, mother plans to pick a date to hold a family reunion banquet for you."
Shen Xia held Gu Xi's hand and said, "Mom, okay, listen to me."
In fact, Shen Xia didn't like this kind of banquet at all. She didn't know if it was because she read too many novels or watched too many TV dramas in her previous life, but she always felt that the banquets of aristocratic families were never peaceful.
There will always be something wrong, otherwise it will not be perfect.
But Shen Xia could see that Gu Xi really wanted to do it, so she did not object.
"Okay, then mom will go to the front yard."
Gu Xi came to the main hall in the front yard.
I haven't seen Princess Rui for many years. My former good sister seems a little strange now.
When Princess Rui saw Gu Xi coming in, she stood up and said with a smile, "How are you, Princess?"
Gu Xi nodded and looked at Princess Rui: "It's okay, how come sister-in-law has time to come and see me."
"I have wanted to come and see you for a long time, but you have not been out for these years, so I did not come to bother you. I heard that Princess Anping has been found."
Princess Rui thought that when her son was a child, he liked to play with Princess Anping.
So she thought about the marriage between the two families and wanted to see if she could make her son forget what happened.
Because of what happened that year, I haven't seen him for five years.
Apart from the rewards bestowed upon him by His Majesty, no other news has been heard about him over the years.
I have to say, she really regretted it.
In fact, he is capable and even if he marries someone from an ordinary family, he can still make a name for himself.
Why couldn’t I see it clearly back then?
When Gu Xi heard Princess Rui mention her daughter, she smiled and said, "Well, she's back."
Princess Rui looked at the nanny beside her and saw a box in her hand.
Princess Rui picked up the box and placed it on the table: "This is a gift for Princess Anping."
Gu Xi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll have someone pass it to her."
"Princess, are you planning the marriage between our two families?"
Gu Xi heard Princess Rui mention it and said, "As for marriage, I am of course very optimistic about your Zizhan, but Yuan'er got married before."
When Princess Rui heard this, she calculated Anping's age and found that he was already 20 years old this year, so it was normal for him to get married.
I originally thought that if Anping hadn't gotten married, Zizhan would have been very nice to that girl when he was a child.
Also planning to get along.
"What about the marriage?" Princess Rui didn't know what to do.
Gu Xi said: "Actually, I am more optimistic about your Zizhan, but I don't know what you think, sister-in-law."
When Princess Rui heard this, she thought that this meant that our Zizhan would marry a divorced woman.
How can that be possible? But it’s hard to say it out loud.
Then he smiled and said, "I don't have any objection. He has always been the one who makes the decisions on Zizhan's affairs. Why don't we wait for Zizhan to come back and let the two children meet him?"
