Chapter 461: Arrogant capital and confidence (nine more)

Gu Jiu came to Chunhetang, please sit in the lower position after the salute.
Pei's face was gloomy, "It's really hard for you to ask! People who don't know think you are the master of the palace, and the princess must stand aside in front of you."
Gu Jiu blinked, "Who annoys his mother and concubine so much?"
"Is there anyone besides you. Gu Jiu, don't pretend to be stupid in front of this princess."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "The mother-in-law calms down, and the daughter-in-law is not pretending to be stupid. The daughter-in-law is just very confused. The mother-in-law is angry because there are rumors outside that hurt the daughter-in-law and hurt the reputation of the palace. Or is it because you are dissatisfied with the daughter-in-law and think The daughter-in-law is the kind of person in the rumors."
"It's really rare. You know that because of your business, rumors are flying everywhere." Pei's sneered.
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, "Why did the mother concubine be angry?"
Pei snorted coldly, "Is there any difference?"
Gu Jiu said naturally: "Of course there is a difference. If it is the former, my daughter-in-law is grateful to my mother and concubine for fighting the injustice for me. If it is the latter, my daughter-in-law has to plead a few words to resolve the misunderstanding."
Pei smiled coldly, "You have a thick-skinned face. This princess asks you, "You were kidnapped and imprisoned, is this true?"
"Naturally true."
Pei's face collapsed, "So what can I say. Your reputation is bad, not only your own reputation, but also the reputation of Liu Zhao and the palace.
Do you know how awful talking outside is now? No matter where he goes, Liu Zhao will be pointed out.
If the matter is so serious, it's okay for you to stay in the east courtyard all day long without leaving the door. Do you think things can be solved if you don't come out? The princess tells you, there is no way! "
Gu Jiu smiled lightly, not angry because of Pei's attitude.
She whispered: "My daughter-in-law doesn't think that things can be solved without coming out. The daughter-in-law came to meet the mother and concubine with the heart of solving the problem."
Pei said twice, "It sounds good. You said to solve the problem, but the princess is asking you, how do you want to solve it? Do you want to ask yourself to go down? If you have this consciousness, the princess will really praise you. , Decisive enough. If you don't have this awareness, you will be less eloquent in front of the princess, saying something and nothing."
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "Just now the mother and concubine mentioned the son and said that the son is going out, no matter where he goes, he will give pointers. Is this true?"
"How can this kind of thing be false. Is it possible that you think this princess deceives you by talking nonsense?" Pei's dissatisfaction, staring at Gu Jiu with a half-hearted look.
Gu Jiu shook his head, "Mother concubine has misunderstood. My daughter-in-law hasn't been out recently, just want to verify one or two. The mother concubine has thought that if I clean up by myself, the green hat on the son's head can be safe and secure, and never take it again. It won’t come down. Then the yellow mud will fall off the crotch,"
Having said that, Gu Jiu smiled softly, "It's not shi, it's shi."
"You..." Obviously Pei didn't expect Gu Jiu to speak so vulgarly.
Gu Jiu interrupted her, and continued: "Only the Royal Mansion will come forward to curb the rumors and catch one or two typical examples of him, so that the rumors will be gradually eliminated."
Pei smiled contemptuously, "Do you think that if you do this, others will not laugh at Liu Zhao? Naive!"
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "Is Liu Zhao afraid of being laughed at? He has always been a person who is not afraid of things. There are people who dare to laugh at him in front of him. He has his own way to keep him from coming off stage.
Of course, what the mother concubine said is also reasonable. The imperial palace came forward to curb the rumors, but it could not put an end to the rumors. People who do not believe still do not believe.
But because of the position of the palace, some people will think about it carefully and try to figure out the truth about this matter.
The palace has come forward, and others will inevitably think that it must have confirmed that nothing happened before the palace can come forward to curb the rumors. This will not bring back some people.
The rest are dubious. After a while, after the turmoil subsided, I took my brother out to have a banquet, and appeared openly and frankly in front of others. By then, even the dubious people would have to turn to me.
After all, ordinary people encounter similar things, even if they are innocent, there is no way to face everyone's scrutiny like me. In the face of rumors, there is only magnanimity. "
Pei sneered, "You think pretty beautiful."
Gu Jiu smiled and said: "Mother concubine, don't forget, I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the palace, and my reputation also represents the reputation of the palace. Now is the critical time, and the court is discussing the candidate for the crown. The mother and concubine are sure to let go. Rumors slander the palace? Are you afraid that it will affect the reputation of the prince, and then affect the impression of the prince in the minds of courtiers?"
Pei's face was dark, "Stop you, everything will be over."
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, "Even if he wants to divorce his wife, the mother and concubine are sure that there is not enough time? If I remember correctly, the court meeting will be five days later.
I don't believe that five days and the divorce of his wife can calm the rumors in Beijing. With the divorce of his wife, the rumors will only rise above the clamor, becoming more and more fierce, and run counter to the original idea of ​​the mother and concubine. "
Pei's eyes narrowed slightly.
It was the first time that she saw a woman who would divorce her future wife. She spoke so plainly and had a well-founded discussion.
Are you really careless, or are you confident? This
"Looking at the princess, you don't seem to care if you are dismissed."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "Because my daughter-in-law knows that divorcing his wife is the next best thing, Liu Zhao would never do this. The prince would not allow him to do that."
"Why do you say that divorcing your wife is the next best thing?"
Gu Jiu spread his hands, "Isn't it obvious? Divorced his wife, Liu Zhao's green hat on his head is firmly worn, and he will want to take it off for the rest of his life. We will live in harmony for a lifetime, and Minger will add a younger brother to Yu Ge'er. Or my sister, it can make the rumors self-defeating."
"It's a dream! How big is Liu Zhao's heart that will protect you repeatedly and continue to have children with you."
Pei's is almost mad.
Gu Jiu frankly asked, "Where can the mother and concubine find a capable daughter-in-law like me?"
Pei wanted to refute this, and she was very unconvinced, "You can do it? You are jealous, and you don't even let Liu Zhao take a concubine room. Can you do it? The princess did not see where you can do it."
Gu Jiu smiled faintly, "Liu Zhao’s expenditure this year, as of today, totaled 135,320,225 dollars. Gongzhong accounted for 35,000 taels. The remaining one hundred thousand taels is my kindness. Jealous woman supply.
By the way, these hundred thousand taels, of which seven to eighty thousand taels were spent on errands related to the palace. For example, this time, in order to allow the prince to return to Beijing on time, let alone burn forty to fifty thousand taels of silver, but the public school didn't pay a penny.
The guards are on duty, and rewards are indispensable, plus settling expenses, which is a lot of expense.
Since the mother and concubine despise me so much, it is better to ask the accountant to make up the money Liu Zhao owes me. Then I made up another resignation letter. Without saying anything, I immediately moved away from the palace with my dowry. "
"You, you are ridiculous!"
Pei couldn't understand Gu Jiu's brain circuit at all.
A woman, not ashamed of being abandoned, as if she was looking forward to it.
"Do you know that the divorced woman cannot hold her head up all her life."
"Really? My daughter-in-law doesn't know. Anyway, my son is General Fengguo, and I am the mother of General Fengguo. Moreover, I earned this title for Brother Yu, so I didn't touch the palace. Plus I have money. After being retired, I can live comfortably. I don’t know that I can't lift my head."
After speaking, Gu Jiu grinned at Pei's, the smile was brilliant.
Pei's eyes were blinded by her smile, and his heart was too frustrated.
"Do you have any shame?"
Gu Jiu had an open face, "My daughter-in-law didn't do anything shameless, why should I feel ashamed?"
Pei's eyes were sharp, "You said you spent one hundred thousand taels for Liu Zhao. Is there any evidence? Where did you get so much money?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "I have a receipt for every payment of silver, with a signature and a seal on it. It must not be faked. As for why I have so much money, does the mother and concubine really know? Just a southern city? Three or four million taels have been invested in out-of-door projects. Do you think I can have no money?"
"What? You actually invested three or four million taels in it? Where did you get so much money?" Pei was obviously stunned by the numbers Gu Jiu blurted out.
Don't say three or four million taels, even if it is three or four hundred thousand taels, Pei will be shocked, okay?
Gu Jiu smiled, "Of course I borrowed so much money from the Shaofu Bank. With so much money in my hand, I just leak a little from my fingers, let alone one hundred thousand taels, even two to three hundred thousand taels. You can also tell. If the concubine does not believe me, you can send someone to the Shaofu Bank to ask how much money I borrowed."
"you you……"
Pei panted quickly, his face turned pale, and he was greatly irritated.
"You borrowed so much money from Shaofu, how can you pay it back? Can you still afford it?"
Gu Jiu said lightly: "As long as the project outside the South City Gate has been working on, I can still afford it. So even if I am dismissed, the Shaofu will support me.
Because I am the biggest customer of Shaofu Bank, they can't bear to let me go bankrupt. Not only won't let the collapse, but also borrowed more money, let me continue the Nanchengmenwai project.
If the mother and concubine don't believe me, you ask Liu Zhao to write a letter of resignation, and you will come back to see what my life is like in half a year. "
"Absurd! It's absurd!"
Pei didn't understand finance, nor did he know what kind of ecstasy the people in Shaofu had been pouring, but subconsciously believed that what Gu Jiu said should be true.
The Shaofu will definitely support her.
In just a few years, Gu Jiu moved around, using Mrs. Zhao's name and various money-burning projects, as if to run a huge network in the capital.
This network of relationships is not entirely supported by the palace.
Even if she leaves the palace, some people in the network will leave. But there will be a group of people who choose to stay.
Gu Jiu alone can continue to operate this network.
Because Gu Jiu also has a son, Liu Yu.
Liu Yu's knighthood was earned by Gu Jiu for the emperor.
She can earn the title for Liu Yu, she can earn her life, and maybe she can earn the title for Liu Yu twice.
Gu Jiu already has arrogant confidence and capital.
No wonder she was so calm in the face of gossip.
