Poor Family Chapter 291

  Chapter 291, doing my part

  In the hall, Princess Chengyang, surrounded by female family members, had a smile on her face, but her eyes didn't have much warmth.

  The son actually abandoned the guests and led the way for the women of the Shi family himself!

  Princess Chengyang was very annoyed. Did Mingyu know what signal he would send to the female relatives present?

  My son knows that Mingyu has abided by the rules since he was a child. He must have been instigated by the sixth girl of the Shi family to do so.

  At this time, the family members of the Shi family entered the house.

   Once people have prejudices, it is difficult to be fair and objective.

After talking briefly to Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi, Princess Chengyang looked at Shi Fuxin. She had already made a judgment in her heart. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that there was a traitor hidden inside this girl. Not as good as she wanted.

  As the emperor's younger sister, although she had some unsatisfactory days before the emperor ascended the throne, after the emperor ascended the throne, her life went smoothly, and she was sought after by everyone wherever she went.

  In this case, Princess Chengyang became more and more unwilling to wrong herself.

  According to her temper, she is too lazy to talk to girls who don't please her, but thinking that her son is in the period of fascination with the sixth girl of the Shi family, if he doesn't give the Shi family any face, it will be difficult for him to explain.

  In this way, Princess Chengyang had to forcefully suppress the dislike in her heart, and patiently talked with the female family member of the Shi family, Zhou Xuan: "Mingyu doesn't have many friends in the capital, fortunately, your Jiulang can hang out with him."

   As he spoke, he looked at the other female relatives.

   "Mingyu is an acquaintance, and Shi Jiulang got acquainted, so he directly called him a brother and got up. No, he has a lot of brothers and sisters at once."

   "At this time, the girls in my family are really likable. Since Mingyu and Jiulang have become brothers, you are also his younger sisters. In the future, you will often come to the princess mansion to accompany me to relieve boredom."

   These words explained to everyone why Fan Mingyu got closer to the Shi family.

   are brothers and sisters

  After hearing this, the expressions of the other female relatives relaxed a little, especially the ladies who were sitting next to Princess Chengyang also praised the girls of the Shi family.

  When the old lady heard the meaning of Princess Chengyang, she took a quick look at the sixth granddaughter, and saw that the sixth granddaughter was eating tea without changing her face, and she felt a little relieved.

  Going out as a guest, Sister Xin still looks like a lady.

  In the time that followed, with Princess Chengyang as the core topic, the female relatives present responded and cooperated actively, and the whole hall was filled with laughter and laughter.

  Shi Fuxin watched all this silently, at first she could sit still, but after a long time, she got a little bored.

  Compared to being handsome in the house, she still prefers to do practical things.

  Thinking that the two islands seized from the Sea Snake Gang have already started to produce medicinal materials this year, Shi Fuxin felt happy. With the supply of these medicinal materials, the 24 branches of Shennongtang will be able to sell more medicines.

  However, the three islands currently owned are all in the southernmost part of Dachu, while the branches of Shennongtang are all in the north. One south and one north, a lot of manpower, material and financial resources are spent on the transportation of medicinal materials every year.

  For better management, Shi Fuxin set up three branch halls of Shennong Hall, which are the branch hall of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the branch hall of Beijiang, and the branch of Liaodong Hall.

  The three branch hall masters each control the branch in their area.

  Each branch church is in charge of a pharmaceutical factory.

  The current mode of operation of Shennongtang is that the collected medicinal materials are transported from various places to the three branch pharmaceutical factories, and the pharmaceutical factory prepares pills according to the prescription given by Shi Fuxin, and then supplies medicines to the branch stores in the area.

  Having branch masters to manage each branch store saves Shi Fuxin a lot of management troubles, but there is also a problem, that is, the power of the branch masters is a bit too great.

  At that time, Fu Xin was in the capital for a long time, unable to go to the various branch halls to supervise in person, and the head of the branch hall who had no restraint was very likely to do something that deceived the superior and the inferior.

  She also knows that this kind of problem cannot be completely avoided, as long as it is not too much, she can tolerate it.

  However, it will definitely not work if there is no restraint at all. She knows how human nature can't stand the test.

  After getting two islands, she was thinking about building another pharmaceutical factory.

  The three major branches of the pharmaceutical factory can only produce some basic pills, and in this newly built pharmaceutical factory, she will build more drug production lines, which cannot be produced by the three major branches, and then distribute the drug sources uniformly according to the performance of each district.

  Considering geographical factors, Shi Fuxin wanted to build the pharmaceutical factory in Guicheng, where her brother's southern chief arresting yamen is located.

   Although Guicheng is not in the middle of the north and south of the Great Chu, sending medicinal materials from the three big islands to Guicheng, making pills, and then sending them to the three branch halls from Guicheng can strengthen her control over Shennongtang.

  With her brother watching, she can rest assured about the pharmaceutical factory.

  When Shi Fuxin thought about these things, her mind was a little distracted. She didn't come back to her mind until Shi Fulin and Shi Fubin called her.

   "Sixth sister, what are you thinking about, so preoccupied?"

  Shi Fuxin saw all the female family members walking out: "What's wrong?"

  Shi Fuying: "The princess invites everyone to play the game of 'Qushui Liushang' while drinking and composing poems."

  Shi Fuxin let out an 'oh', followed the Shi family with Shi Fuying and Shi Fulin, and followed the princess to a place with a wide view.

  I saw a flat stone with a diameter of about five meters, surrounded by winding water.

  The curved water is only two or three meters wide, and the bottom of the water is crystal clear, paved with a layer of warm pebbles, countless aquatic plants swaying with the water waves, and among the aquatic plants, there are strips of koi.

   "Still the Royals will enjoy it."

  Shi Fuxin carefully looked at this place where the game of "Qushui Liushang" can be played. This place was obviously dug out by hand. She made up her mind that she would also build such a place in Zhuangzi in the future.

  After Princess Chengyang took her seat, the other female relatives also sat on the floor.

  Shi Fuxin glanced at Pingshi, who was surrounded by Qushui, and then at Princess Chengyang, with some doubts in her eyes.

  Why don't you sit in the middle?

  If she is the host, she will sit on the flat stone in the middle, so that she can have a panoramic view of all the guests' actions.

   Soon, Shi Fuxin knew why Princess Chengyang didn't go to the middle Pingshi.

  Not long after the female relatives sat down, Master Fan brought a group of young princes over.

  Seeing a group of young talents coming over, the ladies are okay, and the young girls immediately whispered to each other.

  Shi Fuxin also came alive, the girls sat on one side, and the boys sat on the other side, um, it was a bit like a blind date.

   No, it's not a bit like it, this is the blind date event organized by Princess Chengyang for Fan Mingyu.

   Hey, why is Chu Yao here?

  Seeing Chu Yao, Shi Fuxin was stunned at first, but soon realized that this guy is considered older and single in this day and age, so it is not surprising to come to this kind of blind date.

  Thinking that Chu Yao, a son of the royal family, actually had to rely on other people's blind dates to solve the problem of leaving the single, she couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

   "My God, the third son Yao is also here."

  Although Chu Yao's reputation is not good, but because of his good-looking face, he still became the object of the most attention of the girls at the scene, but the wives of the various families didn't pay much attention to him.

  Because Princess Chengyang doesn't like the Shi family, therefore, the position of the Shi family's female family members is a little far away from her.

  Fan Mingyu brought people to meet Princess Chengyang and the wives, looked at the positions of the female relatives, then smiled and walked to sit down opposite Shi Fuxin.

  Princess Chengyang saw her and took a deep breath, so she didn't express her dissatisfaction on the spot.

  Fan Mingyu's actions also made the other female relatives look a little strange.

  Chu Yao took a look at Fan Mingyu. The owner's house always attracted the most attention. After thinking about it, he also walked over and sat down on his right hand.

  When Shi Fuxin saw Fang Mingyu sitting opposite her, she generously gave him a bright smile, but when she saw Chu Yao approaching, the smile on her face became a little stiff.

   After everyone sat down, Princess Chengyang began to speak.

  The gist of the words is to invite everyone here today, the purpose is to have fun, everyone must have fun and have fun.

  Then, the maids put the snacks and delicacies that had been prepared in the water, and slowly floated down from the upper reaches, and sent them to various places.

   After everyone talked and laughed for a while, and had something to eat, Princess Chengyang sent someone to bring fruit wine. Watching the maid put the glass of fruit wine in the water, she said with a smile:

   "Whoever the cup spins or stops in front of him will have to improvise a poem and drink. If he can't write a poem, he will be punished to perform on the flat stone in the middle."

  Young girls and sons are unwilling to admit defeat, and they don't want to lose face in front of the opposite sex, so everyone tried their best to express themselves at the beginning.

  Chu Yao seemed to be sipping the wine casually, but in fact he was secretly looking at the ladies carefully.

   He was very frustrated when he was rejected several times in a row.

  He had to lower his requirements, and lowered the standard for finding Yue's family from the honorary circle to finding from the family of officials above the third rank.

  He knew that he had a bad reputation and that getting married was not easy, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

  Meng Moling noticed that Chu Yao was in a bad mood, leaned over and said in a low voice: "Brother Yao, the ladies who came today are from good families, and several girls from the Shangshu family are here."

  Chu Yao gave an 'um', he valued family background, but also valued people.

  No way, the situation in the palace is complicated, if someone is not good enough, he will be hindered.

  He doesn't expect his future wife to help him, the only requirement is to protect himself and his future child.

  Through his own mother, he knows too well that if a mother can't protect her child, how bad the child will be!

  Meng Moling looked at Chu Yao, hesitant to speak.

  Chu Yao frowned: "Speak up if you have something to say."

Meng Moling hesitated for a moment, and sat directly next to Chu Yao, whispering in his ear: "Brother Yao, many girls are looking at you shyly, if the girl's family is unwilling to let you marry their daughter, why don't you try to betray your appearance?" ?”

  Chu Yao glared at him with a 'shua', his eyes were very dangerous.

  Meng Moling bit the bullet and said: "Brother Yao, don't stare at me either. The old concubine intends to tell you Miss Zhuang of Duke Wen's mansion. This news is no secret in the noble circle."

   "Originally, some girls don't care about your reputation, but the old concubine made such a move, who would dare to marry you?"

"We all know that after the new daughter-in-law enters the door, she has to make a living under the hands of her mother-in-law. The old princess is the talker in the backyard. She has a favorite candidate. If another girl bites the bullet and marries you, I also know that life after marriage will not be easy. of."

   "In this case, even if the girls like you, their families will never agree."

   "So Brother Yao, you really have to use some extraordinary means, otherwise, you can only accept the girl arranged by the old concubine for you."

  Chu Yao remained silent, with hatred in his eyes.

The girl in Duke Wen's mansion, it sounds like the old concubine found a good marriage for herself, but he knows very well that the reason why the old concubine chose a wife for him from her natal family was not because she loves his grandson, but because she wanted to control him through the pillow wind. him!

  How could he accept a wife who was destined to disagree with him! !

  Chu Yao also knows that the reason why no one chooses him is that besides his bad reputation, he is just a dude who has nothing to do all day long besides his status as a son of the royal family.

   Without enough profit-driven, it is impossible to impress truly powerful people.

  Thinking of this, Chu Yao narrowed his eyes. He had to find a way to get the emperor to announce his identity as the commander of the special supervision department.

  Chu Yao was worried about her marriage, while Shi Fuxin, who was opposite her, was leisurely watching the excitement.

  Shi Fuxin doesn't know how to compose poems, and every time she sees that the cup is approaching her, she uses her internal energy secretly to make the cup flow to other people, but she never refuses the food that floats in front of her.

  At the beginning, the girls and young masters were trying their best to show their literary talents. After a few laps, some girls and young masters could not write poems, and began to show their talents on the flat stone in the middle.

  As soon as the talent came out, the atmosphere reached a climax.

  Princess Chengyang has been paying attention to her son, and she is very annoyed when she finds out that his son is not interested in the talents of the ladies of each family, and only cares about flirting with the sixth girl of the Shi family.

  She had known for a long time that Shi Fuxin was not good at writing, and wanted to make a fool of her in public, so as to reduce her son's liking for her.

   But what is annoying is that the wine glass has stopped in front of almost everyone, but it has never stopped in front of Shi Fuxin.

  At this moment, the person performing talent on the flat stone in the middle is Princess Chengyang's favorite candidate for daughter-in-law.

  Princess Chengyang really didn't want to see her son flirt with people in public. As soon as the song was over, she smiled and said, "Miss Jin's piano skills are really amazing."

   As he spoke, he looked at Fan Mingyu.

   "Mingyu, the piece that Miss Jin played just now, my mother saw, is very in tune with the sword technique you are practicing recently."

   "Mother is having a banquet today. As the host, why don't you invite Miss Jin to play another song, and you will dance swords by the side to cheer everyone up, how about it?"

  Princess Chengyang's words made it difficult for Fan Mingyu to refuse, but he didn't want to dance with the girl from the Jin family in front of Shi Fuxin, he hesitated for a moment, and turned his eyes to Shi Fuxin.

  Shi Fuxin saw the inquiry in Fan Mingyu's eyes, smiled and nodded.

When Fan Mingyu saw him, he was overjoyed and stood up: "Mother is right, my son should help everyone, but Miss Jin has already played a song, and my fingers hurt from playing it, my son wants to invite the sixth younger sister of the Shi family Do me a favor, let her play the qin and my son dance the sword."

  Hearing this, Princess Chengyang almost didn't come up. Just as she was about to find a reason to refuse, she saw the sixth girl of the Shi family stand up without restraint.

  Shi Fuxin had a proper smile on his face: "Young Lord asks for help, Fuxin should help." After speaking, she and Fan Mingyou looked at each other and smiled.

  Chu Yao has recovered from his own thoughts, looked at Shi Fuxin who was doing his part, and his eyes flickered a little.

  He didn't believe that this girl couldn't see that Princess Chengyang was trying to win over the girl from the Jin family and Fan Mingyu, and she dared to stand up, which is admirable courage.

Meng Moling leaned over again: "Brother Yao, Lord Fan Xiaohou is very concerned about Fat Pomegranate. It is said that he has already expressed his heart to Princess Chengyang and Marquis Yongchuan. Unfortunately, the Princess and Marquis Yongchuan look down on the Shi family and Fat Pomegranate." .No, let's find a way to dismantle them.”

  Chu Yao: "The Shi family is indeed a bit poor." Looking at Shi Fuxin again.

  Is this girl taking an oath of sovereignty?

  Although he is not very reserved, his uncompromising temper for his own interests is too appetizing to him!
