The ancient sages said: "Marry a wife and marry a virtuous, marry a concubine and marry a face." ”

Marry as a wife, run as a concubine.

Marrying a concubine is a fairly simple matter, and at night, a small sedan chair can enter the door.

But getting a wife is extremely complicated.

What Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, Najib, Greeting, etc., none of them can be missing.

Not to mention Zhu Yujiao's identity.

This is a dignified 'golden branch and jade leaf'!

The process is even more complex.

And the identity and status of the wife and the concubine are also very different.

The simplest, when the wife eats, the concubine can only watch, can't serve the table, and has to serve on the side.

The children born to the wife are the sons and daughters, and they are born with great dignity and have the right to inherit the property of their father and mother.

The concubine can only be a concubine, and there is no guarantee in all aspects.

When the concubine enters the door, she must give her wife tea, and the wife can only enter the door if she agrees, and if she does not agree, the husband can't help it, no matter how much he likes it, he can only be a 'don't be a housewife'.

So throughout the ages, for this name, I don't know how many heads have broken blood and dog blood.

At this time, Xu Changqing and Zhu Cihong, the two little children, discussed their marriage, which must seem a little funny in later generations, but it is normal at this time.

The eldest brother is like a father.

After all, Zhu Yuanjiao has no father, to a large extent, Zhu Cihong can make all decisions on behalf of Zhu Yuanjiao.

However, this matter is much more complicated, especially after Zhu Yujiao. Entering the door of the Xu family, there is a question of rank.

This seems to be Xu Changqing's private matter, but in fact, it is not much different from the real 'national capital' of the Ming Dynasty, and it has already touched the hearts of countless people.

Even Xu Changqing didn't dare to be slacking off on this.

Seeing off Zhu Cihong and his brothers, Xu Changqing also fell into deep thought.

It is definitely impossible for Zhu Yujiao to squeeze out Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei.

Needless to say, the Wu family said.

If Xu Changqing really wants to squeeze out Wu Sanmei, the whole world will probably be in chaos, and no one knows what will happen......

Although the Li family is slightly weaker than the Wu family, in Haicheng, in the skeleton of the model army, the strength should not be underestimated!

After all, he has the foundation laid by Li Chengliang back then.

This also means that Zhu Yujiao can only rank the 'third'.

However, Xu Changqing also has a big head for this thing, and some actions must be done in person.

That's why Xu Changqing will win over Yuan Guifei's side, including the nobles' side.

At the beginning of the whaling industry, Xu Changqing actually had a framework in mind.

Take the lion's own share, more than 50% of the shares, this is definitely not said.

At this time, Yuan Guifei's side has already removed one percent, and there are still three percent of five.

On the side of Queen Zhou's mother and son, Xu Changqing actually wanted to give one to five, but looking at it now, if Yuan Guifei's side is well hidden, it will not be a big problem to give one percent.

The rest was left to Zhu Chunchen, Xu Yunzhen, including Zhu Guobi and others, but it was impossible for them to think of a share if they couldn't think of silver.

There is also the share ratio in it, as well as the details that can only be fully controlled by yourself, including how to do the shares on your own side, you need to sort it out little by little.

……

As night falls, the lights come on.

The huge sea city also gradually began to liven up.

Unlike the ordinary city at this time, where there are only high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen at night, Haicheng is gradually prosperous because of the economy, and the people have more and more silver in their hands, and this prosperity is comprehensive.

Dignitaries and wealthy businessmen can go to high-end places to consume, and ordinary people can go to various night markets for pastime, many snacks are delicious and affordable, and you can also inquire about the news, understand the exotic customs, and increase your knowledge, why not?

This also makes the entire Haicheng have a down-to-earth prosperity.

Including many dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, sometimes they are accustomed to eating big meals, and they are also willing to go to the night market to have fun and feel another style.

Even, many long-lost snacks have gradually been found in Haicheng.

Not far in front of Xu Changqing's official hall, is the largest night market in Haicheng, 'Flower of Haicheng', the kind of lively noise can be heard from a long distance, but instead of annoying, it is a lot more angry.

Of course, the rent of this shop is often staggering.

But they are all the benefits of the core of Xu Changqing.

In the hustle and bustle, on the side of the new official hall, several carriages slowly drove out of the mansion and headed for the old official hall across the street.

The old official hall has long been prepared, the middle door is wide open, Li Youwei, Xian'er, Gu Hengbo, Tang Yu, Kou Baimen and other Xu Changqing's wives, except for Wu Sanmei and a few daughters who are in confinement, all came out to greet them.

Queen Zhou and her entourage were a little surprised when they arrived, they didn't expect that tonight would be such a big card and the Xu family would be so grand.

Queen Zhou hurriedly went down to greet Li Youwei and the other daughters, and at this time, she didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Zhu Yujiao's willow eyebrows frowned slightly.

What does that mean? Do you want to give her a kick?

Especially when she saw the white and chubby little guy next to Li Youwei who was being carefully held by her mother-in-law, Zhu Yujiao was even more uncomfortable.

"Sister, get out of the car."

Just as Zhu Yujiao was thinking about things, an immature and cute figure ran to her side and greeted her happily.

"Huh?"

Zhu Yujiao was stunned for a moment, and found that it was Zhaoren, the little girl, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I know, Sister will get out of the car immediately." ”

But as soon as she got out of the car, she suddenly found that she thought she was already dressed beautifully, but the women around her were more beautiful than the other.

Especially Yuan Guifei's side.

Zhu Yujiao couldn't say what was going on for a while, but she just felt that Yuan Guifei at this time was definitely much more beautiful than before.

And she herself, in this kind of group, it is difficult to stand out so much.

The group greeted each other for a while, and Li Youwei hurriedly smiled and beckoned everyone to go to the inner house.

But this is also the embarrassment of the Houmen deep house.

It is indeed regular to open the atrium, but the mansion is generally too large, and there are various architectural barriers, it is difficult to walk the carriage, so you can only walk to the back house.

On the way, Zhu Yujiao didn't want to communicate with Li Youwei and them, so she deliberately fell behind and walked with Yuan Guifei.

With such a close distance, she was even more sure of one thing, Yuan Guifei was indeed more beautiful.

Not only is the skin better, but also more delicate, and the confidence from the inside out is even more fascinating, that is, she is a woman, and she is attracted to her for a while.

Picking a season when no one was paying attention, Zhu Yujiao laughed quietly: "Aunt Yuan, you seem to be a lot more beautiful." Is it the water and soil of our Haicheng that nourish people? ”

"......"

When Yuan Guifei heard this, her legs were a little weak, she almost didn't mix garlic under her feet, and fell to the ground, thinking that the matter between her and Xu Changqing was exposed.

Fortunately, after a while, Yuan Guifei found that Zhu Yujiao's eyes were purer and did not have too many impurities, so she didn't find anything.

Hurriedly smiled: "Jiao'er, don't tease your Aunt Yuan, I'm an old bone, how can I compare with you." Watch your step, the road is not easy to walk. ”

When Zhu Yujiao was successfully diverted and no longer focused her eyes on her, Yuan Guifei only felt that her heart was beating non-stop.

In fact, when she was applying makeup just now, she also felt some changes in her......

It's a hard feeling to put into words......

It's an inside-out change......

Even if you dress up slightly, the effect of the previous careful structure will come out, and even the effect of the previous careful dressing will be even better......

"Phew, what are you thinking, you're not the protagonist tonight, don't mess around anymore......"

After a while, Yuan Guifei calmed down a little, and was busy holding Zhaoren's little hand and gradually came to the back house.

On the back house, Xu Changqing's mother, the Yang family, including Li Youwei's mother Zou, Wu Sanmei's mother Zu, and Xu Changqing's several mothers-in-law, as well as Wu Xiang, who has recovered a lot, are all here.

The group hurriedly greeted them and greeted them with a smile.

However, Yuan Guifei didn't see Xu Changqing.

This made her heart a little bottomless for a while......

Why did Xu Changqing go to such an important matter......

For a long time, everyone sat down, drank tea, and began to serve, Xu Changqing was late, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Queen Mother, His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm really sorry, I have some military affairs temporarily, and I have delayed for a while, and I hope you will be able to do it." ”

Of course, Empress Zhou and Zhu Cihong didn't dare to take this seriously, and they were busy smiling and passing the matter.

But Zhu Cijiong pouted a little, and secretly hated them in his heart, Xu Changqing clearly didn't take them seriously!

The Xu family was very well prepared for tonight's banquet, and several chefs were temporarily transferred from Haicheng Hotel.

As the mother of the Xu family, Li Youwei will certainly not allow this to go wrong.

What sea cucumbers, abalone, bluefin tuna, including whale meat, wild boar and other rare things, you name it.

But it's luxurious and not wasteful.

Tonight's banquet is buffet-style, and even if you can't eat it, you can give it to your subordinates.

As one of the few men in the venue, Wu Xiang quickly became the host, old and spicy and skillful enveloping the atmosphere on both sides, and his whole body was radiant, how could he still look sick before?

Xu Changqing chatted with him the most just now, and the whaling industry also left half of the shares of their Wu family.

Don't look at the small number of shares, but it represents Xu Changqing's attitude, and it also represents the Wu family's real entry into the core industry of Haicheng.

Even though it was 'the princess getting married' at this time, Wu Xiang was extremely down-to-earth in his heart.

With this old fritter town, the atmosphere is also relaxed and active, everyone only talks about Fengyue, but not about business.

In fact, Huaguo is like this, everything is nothing more than human favor.

When the love is in place, everything is naturally easy to talk about, but if the love is not in place, then ......

In this regard, there has been a very successful example in the Western world.

At that time, in order to allow many products to enter the huge Chinese market, many Western bigwigs worked together to set up a super class in Haval for a period of one year, and half of the students were the main persons in charge of the major Chinese enterprises convened.

A year later, their various products were easily opened, and whether it was imports or joint ventures, they were all straightened out.

Xu Changqing, as the controller, wants this situation.

If one meal doesn't work, two meals, and if two meals don't work, every day.

Anyway, Xu Changqing is not short of this silver, when will things be straightened out, and when will it be finished.

However, Xu Changqing can sit firmly in Diaoyutai, and Zhu Yujiao also began to put down the mustard and gradually liked the stable and comfortable atmosphere of the Xu family, but some people still felt unhappy.

That's right.

It is the 'third prince' Zhu Cijiong.

Zhu Cijiong is thirteen years old this year, after all, he was born in a heavenly family, and the environmental nutrition is definitely not to be said, and the development is also excellent.

He is in adolescence, and at this time he is more imposing than the crown prince Zhu Cihong, and he is really a handsome son.

I thought that he would be able to find something tonight and show off, but he suddenly found that no one paid attention to him at all, and he had no chance to speak at all.

This made him extremely depressed, and he could only use wine to drown his sorrows.

Usually at home, Queen Zhou will not let him drink.

But as he drank, he soon discovered a new landscape......

Xu Changqing's wives and concubines are really more beautiful than the other.

Especially Gu Hengbo, the big oiran who was born in Jiangnan, and the one named Tang or something, made him shocked.

At first, he only dared to look secretly, for fear of being seen by others, but as the alcohol became more and more serious, he didn't bother to hide it, and his eyes began to be green, almost wanting to eat Gu Hengbo and Tang Yu.
