After being divorced, the concubine became the first lady

Chapter 41 A monk can escape but cannot escape from the temple

When the two sisters went out, they saw Chu Yan in their carriage.

The city gate army was dispatched. Without even thinking, something serious must have happened. The driver was so frightened that he hurried home to report the news.

Chu Yanke was so anxious that he walked up to him and looked him up and down. He let out a long sigh of relief after confirming that he was not injured.

Chu Lanlan smiled with bright eyes: "Brother, I want to hold a dog tail and grass feast at home."

Chu Yan: "?"

Chu Lanlan laughed at the confused look on her face. She was so happy tonight.

She is a concubine and has a low sense of existence. When her father is in trouble, she feels like the sky is falling. Although she has a good relationship with Yang Yu, without the support of her mother-in-law, she feels really unsure.

The third sister is a god in the sky tonight!
Everyone in the Chu family is waiting worriedly.

Seeing a group of three people entering the house, Hanzhang jumped out of his mother's arms and shouted: "Third aunt, fourth aunt."

It was two people who shouted, but they kept looking at Chu Jinjin.

She knew that it was her third aunt who saved her.

Chu Jinjin smiled and touched her head.

There is a child at home, and the atmosphere seems to be much more lively.

Even though the matter has passed, everyone is still frightened when they hear it, with worries and excitement in their eyes.

The leaders of the city gate all suffered a loss.

Wang said solemnly: "I will go to Yang's house tomorrow with gifts."

Chu Jinjin showed off her power, but Yang Minjing also helped a lot. As the nominal mistress of the house, this kindness should be repaid generously.

Chu Jinjin nodded: "I plan to go to the mine in the next few days."

After tonight's battle, the Chu family should be stable for a while. At least those families who are lower than the city gate leaders must first consider whether they have enough weight if they want to please the imperial concubine.

The mine is a sharp sword hanging over the Chu family's head.

One-third of the family property rests on it.

The relaxed atmosphere was made heavy by her words.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I don’t know what to say.

Please advise, Chu Jinjin created a miracle once, what kind of thing can ordinary people do?

But if you don’t persuade me, I won’t worry even more.

That's the imperial court.

It's not the Black Eagle Citadel, nor is it a city gate leader. Behind it is the ninety-five-year-old emperor.

Chu Jingde said in a deep voice: "Jinjin, we can't rush this matter."

Maybe I hope my family is safe now that I have rescued my son, and settled many things. Of course I am not willing to let the good mine turn into this, but compared with the current situation, it seems so unimportant.

Gold mines involve the country's economy, and the responsible officials are high-ranking and powerful officials. He is worried that Chu Jinjin, who is not afraid of anything, will be beaten again.

When the time comes, it’s not just the first-rank officials who will be beaten, but the royal family’s face.

That's simply not something the Chu family can afford.

After speaking, he added: "We can test the situation first, and then we can take a closer look at what the situation is."

Chu Jinjin had a hearty nap tonight, and she felt very tired now. She yawned for a long time: "Grandpa, don't worry, I know it well and will never make fun of the whole Chu family."

Chu Jingde heard the implication, this still needs to be dealt with.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, without further persuasion.

This granddaughter can no longer be said to be like Zu Jian when she was young.

The Chu family has never produced such a powerful person.

***
The next day everyone was busy with their own work.

Mrs. Wang brought gifts to the Yang family to pay her respects. Chu Lanlan had attended many banquets, but had no experience in hosting them, so she roped in Chu Lingling, the matron of the house. Chu Jinjin, on the other hand, slept until noon and had lunch. I was still trying to sleep, but my mother grabbed my ears and pulled me out of bed.

As big-hearted as Mrs. Liu, she felt that her daughter was too unworthy of being the head of the family.

Chu Jinjin had no choice but to go to inspect the village.

The Chu family's business is very large and complex, and it cannot escape the constraints of the general environment. It is nothing more than a trading or manufacturing industry.

Chu Zijian is still unconscious, but the foundation he has laid is very good. Each shopkeeper has been carefully selected and is operating normally.

Chu Jinjin turned around a few times and finally came up with some ideas.

Having reached today's position, there is no need to hide. She imagined that the Chu family could be bigger and stronger, just like her father's goal, to make the Chu family the leading wealthy businessman in the entire capital and even the country.

By that time, the real wealth will rival the country, so the emperor will have to be polite.

When the apocalypse came, she was just five years old, and her impression was vaguely of modern prosperity. Some industries seem to be grafted into this world.

Three nights later.

Chu Lanlan's first banquet in her life has begun. Of course, she can't really call it a dog's tail flower, that would be too disrespectful, so she chose a name that appeals to both refined and popular people - Spring Appreciation Banquet.

The Chu Family Garden does not plant any particular flowers and plants, but it is large enough to have all kinds of seasonal flowers and plants.

According to Chu Jinjin's instructions, Chu Lanlan intended to make friends with these young ladies to establish her own social network. The entire banquet was of a very high standard, from snacks to tea, everything was top-notch.

The first one to arrive was Yang Minjing. Because of the shock brought by Wang's visit, and of course mainly by Chu Jinjin, the relationship between the two families quickly warmed up. She brought some pleasant news.

Li Chengmen leader was fined three months' salary.

He didn't mention Chu Jinjin's matter, only that he drank too much and was confused before mobilizing the city gate army.

"It seems that the salary is only three months, but in fact it has a far-reaching impact. There is no hope of promotion within at least three years." Yang Minjing still analyzed clearly and sighed after summing up, "But my cousin is also wise to protect himself. If he repays the truth truthfully, I'm afraid he will lose his job." It’s the Wusha hat.”

Officialdom is so dangerous.

The city gate army was mobilized for a civilian woman. If the imperial concubine was implicated, the consequences would be disastrous.

The eldest lady who came later obviously also knew that after a few days of calm, she was a little reluctant to come. The eldest lady from a dignified official family actually came to attend a flower viewing banquet of a merchant girl. It was too cheap.

But thinking about the murderous Chu Jinjin that night, I felt a little worried.

However, now that I know this, all of them are extremely virtuous.

Only Li Yulu didn't come.

I guess I don’t have the nerve to come.

The scene of being made things difficult for them did not happen at all. On the contrary, they were shocked by the high-level treatment.

The tea is Yuqian Longjing, which costs hundreds of taels per tael, and the snacks are the most famous Daoxiangzhai. Of course they have these things at home, but when it is their turn, they may only have a little bit, and they are reluctant to use them on weekdays.

Chu Lanlan also set up a popular treasure hunt. As for the jackpot, all the ladies almost lost control of their expressions - a pink pearl the size of a thumb.

Pearls themselves are valuable, and as for the pink color, they cost at least several hundred taels of silver.

The rest of the remaining treasures are worth more than ten taels of silver at worst.

No one is left empty-handed.

Before leaving, everyone was a little bit unsatisfied.

Chu Jinjin also gained something.

The business gene has finally awakened.

These eldest ladies don't have much money. They only get a pitiful amount of money every month. That's because they don't have a boss yet and there are people behind them.

Especially the concubines and so on, I can't say that there is anxiety about body shape and appearance, it's almost the same.

What if you open a beauty salon?

Chu Jinjin still knew how much she weighed, and fighting was as easy as using her brain. She asked her grandfather and Chu Yan for advice.

Then he talked about whatever came to mind, such as VIP services and facial and body care, which made the two of them confused.

There is no such place in Beijing.

I have never heard of such a service.

But one thing can be confirmed, this group is really easy to make money, just like the Chu family's rouge shop, every time they come to Beimo, the new models are quickly sold out, and the money is spent without even taking a look. In a blink of an eye.

Chu Jinjin maintained the style of a hands-off shopkeeper, only talking but not doing anything, and confidently left it to Chu Yan to investigate and prepare detailed information.

As for her, she had something big to do.

The mine manager followed her request and submitted the post to Master Yipin Zhou, but he was rejected as expected.

That was Chu Jinjin's invitation as the head of the family.

The attitude couldn't be more obvious, procrastination.

The manager of the mine already knew that the Chu family had a fearless Chu Jinjin, and he was afraid that she would force him, so he wrote a long letter to explain how the place where Mr. Zhou lived was strictly guarded.

Chu Jinjin had no intention of forcing it.

She is not stupid.

Even if you don't fight, you will be jailed if you force your way into the residence of a first-class official.

Her idea was very simple. If she could run away, the monk would not be able to run away from the temple.

The reason why Mr. Zhou has been able to rise to prominence has a lot to do with the fact that he married a good wife. Mrs. Li was born in the Li family, one of the best in the capital. She had served as two prime ministers. She had a rich background and had students all over the world.

And in this season, just like most of the female relatives of officials and families, Li will go to Fenghuang Mountain in the suburbs for an outing, burn incense and make wishes on April 4th every year.

Tomorrow is April 4th.
