Chapter 258 Recruiting
"Even if he is the prince, we cannot kill him all!"
"It was Tan Silang who committed the crime, not the Tan family who committed the heinous crime of exterminating the family."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince's punishment is too harsh. We can just give them a hand and prevent them from being bullied. That won't be a big deal, right?"
Shang Shu Ling: ...If it is not a big deal for our whole family to return to our hometown and farm, then we can indeed say that.
He patiently explained: "As a father, I feel guilty towards you and your late mother, so I always indulge you."
"But that doesn't mean I can offend the prince or fight against him for you."
Yu Yiguo didn't understand: "I just helped the Tan family, how can it be considered as going against the prince?"
She muttered, "If he is really such a narrow-minded person, then this prince is not that good."
Yu Jijun:......
"What do you know? The Tan family is disliked by the prince."
"If they don't fall into poverty after losing power and still live as comfortably as before, what will other people think?"
"They will think that offending the crown prince is not a big deal, and your highness's prestige among the people will be weakened."
"Who do you think she will blame for all this? Your father?"
Yu Yiguo explained blankly: "I...I didn't think so much."
The Shang Shu Ling, who understood the child's character, did not blame her, "It's enough for a father to get what he wants."
"I'm not stopping you from repaying the favor."
"In the ten years since the Tan family came to Beijing, we have provided them with so much convenience."
"You even introduced the prince to them and built a ladder for them to reach heaven."
"They didn't hold on firmly and fell down."
Seeing that his daughter was gradually softening, his tone softened as well.
"If you really want to repay them, then you can help them yourself, using your own monthly allowance."
"But it is impossible for Aye to help you with the favor you have already repaid."
Yiguo understood the pros and cons and stopped making trouble.
She went back to Madam Tan: "Sister, although I can't stop the Tan family's foundation from collapsing, at least I can protect you from being bullied."
But it was far beyond her expectations and Mrs. Tan could not accept it.
"A powerful official like the Shangshu Ling is afraid of a child!"
Yiguo pushed her hand away and asked with a frown, "What do you mean, sister?"
"Do you want my father to die for your mistakes?"
"No matter how young the prince is, he is still the king, and no matter how powerful the Shangshu Ling is, he is still a minister. I owe you, but the Yu family does not owe you."
Yiguo was spoiled for ten years after returning home, and her temper became worse. After getting married, she continued to live in her parents' home, living as she pleased.
She snorted coldly and turned away.
"How many people would ask for my help? If you don't want it, forget it. Why would I go after you?"
Mrs. Tan realized that she was about to lose her last support.
She hurriedly put on a shy smile and finally managed to coax Yiguo into a better mood.
But although Mrs. Tan had a smile on her face, her heart was filled with despair and bitterness.
Why did it turn out like this? If she had properly disciplined her clansmen, had not complained about the Crown Prince's actions, and had been a good money bag.
The Tan family is so prosperous now.
The Tan family has never been irreplaceable to Bei Jingchu.
Originally, she wanted to leave all the affairs to Bei Huan, but the child was still young and she felt that she was not capable of doing so.
Bei Jingchu gave up some of the ideas of exploiting child labor, and was very conscientious, seeing her cousin's pitiful expression, allocated a few billion yuan of assets to her to manage.
For the rest, I will think about choosing a new merchant.
Bei Jingchu was too lazy to interview everyone one by one, so he simply gathered all the merchants together and held a banquet.
Once the news got out, people in the capital were the first to get the news, and everyone was trying desperately to grab a chance.
Especially the former rivals of the Tan family, they were simply ecstatic.
The He family is one of them.
Madam He slapped her thigh and laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, the Tan family used to follow the prince to eat meat, and they didn't even leave a single sip of soup for us!"
"Look at that bank. How many people are jealous of it? They are doing exclusive business."
"Now, even my golden rice bowl is broken. I have never seen such a stupid person in my life."
She held the invitation card that she had managed to snatch with great difficulty in her hands, as if it were a treasure.
"We must remember the lesson of the Tan family this time. Why do we have to forcibly seize a woman and go against the laws of Dai Viet?"
"There are so many girls who are willing to date you. Are they unable to find women or what?"
"Money and power are used to protect our own people from harm, not to bully the weak."
"The worst thing about doing business is showing off. We need to keep a low profile."
Her son should be.
Not long after Mrs. He married into the He family, her husband died.
A bunch of people were eyeing the widow and orphan, ready to wipe out the entire family, but she managed to keep the family business going and it continued to grow.
Catch up now and successfully cross the threshold of getting an invitation.
Her guilty gaze fell on her "son" and she said, "You are a posthumous child. Back then, all the wolves and tigers in the family were eyeing us."
"If mother had given birth to a daughter, she would have been driven out to some small courtyard to fend for herself, let alone manage the family business."
"My son, I have made you dress up as a boy since you were a child. Thank you for your hard work."
"If we succeed in surrendering this time, with His Highness's blessing, you can become a wife with dignity."
He Mosheng also showed infinite yearning, but she didn't dare to think too much, and only said: "The competition this time will definitely be fierce, and we may not have a chance of winning."
"Don't hold your hopes too high, mother."
"Being a husband for life is better than having all the family property taken away from you right from the start."
"Mother did nothing wrong."
The banquet was held in the Fish House, which was different from what everyone expected.
They thought it was a normal procedure, with music, singing and dancing, the prince coming to raise a glass and greet people, everyone presenting gifts and so on.
As a result, when we arrived, all the hungry people went to eat in the hall. Everyone took a number, lined up, and went in for the interview one by one.
Mrs. He held the number plate, not knowing whether to be surprised or sigh.
This is really unheard of.
When they were called, Mrs. He went in.
First she saw a little girl, whom she thought was the prince. As she was greeting him, the person leading the way introduced him, "Madam He, this is Princess Mo Qing."
Although she didn't know why she met a princess, they were people she couldn't afford to offend.
The young princess asked her a few questions, and Mrs. He, who was an expert, answered them easily based on her experience.
Then she was led to the next room.
When we went there, another family came out with sad faces.
She couldn't help but stuffed a silver ingot into her pocket and asked the guide, "What is this?"
"Of course, he failed the assessment and was screened out."
Just as she was asking if this was the prince's room, the guide had already pushed the door open and led her in, revealing a young man.
The guide said, "Madam He, this is the Marquis of Renwei."
She went through many trials and tribulations, and walked from room to room, meeting all the sons of powerful and wealthy people that she had never seen in her life.
Even if we return empty-handed today, it will be worth it.
The guide in the last wing said, "Madam He, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Finally... here we are.
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May His Royal Highness be blessed with good health."
