Chapter 520: Can't afford to climb high (three shifts)

This spring is particularly short.
It seemed that it had only been here for a few days, and then flew away with a buzz.
It was only April, and the weather had already begun to show its momentum in advance, making people feel the horror of summer.
April is so hot, wait until June and July, I am afraid it will not be too hot.
This year, Gu Jiu has no new projects launched. Continue to work on the old project last year, so she is very relaxed.
She is relaxed, but not at Shaofu.
The House Order of the Shaofu arranged people to pay attention to the movement outside the South City Gate and the movement of the cement road.
Ten times more worrying than Gu Jiu's owner.
Whenever there is a turmoil in these two projects, the Shao Fu Jia Ling becomes very nervous.
When his old man became nervous, the young man's office became nervous.
Gu Jiu is the number one client of Shaofu Bank. Just count the money she borrowed the most.
Outside the South City Gate, the new house opened, and the young family was pleased. After being happy, I began to worry again.
Because the house sold so well, thousands of houses were robbed in two or three days.
It gives people the feeling that everyone in the capital is so rich, as if every household is not bad.
Why is the young man so worried?
Because he was worried that Gu Jiu would start to work again when he had the money, and he would want to build a house on a large scale, constantly repairing it.
He knew that Gu Jiu was the biggest landlord outside the Nancheng Gate.
It's like moving ants, buying them piece by piece.
Over the years, the land outside the Nancheng Gate has become a piece of land, and farmland may become a house at any time.
Several times, Shaofu Jialing complained to Gu Jiu, "Why do you build so many houses?"
The capital is just this big, with just this large population.
Can anyone buy so many houses?
At that time, Gu Jiu smiled and said, "There are many houses for that little house. When the ancestors are free, they should also experience the people's feelings. It is not that I have to build so many houses, but the people need houses."
The young man's family was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "It's nonsense. The common people have houses to live in, so where do you need so many houses."
"When my house can't be sold, my ancestor is right."
"The old man is getting old and I don't understand what your young people think. The old man just reminds you that you must repay the loan on time. Your Majesty has always sent people to stare at the Shaofu Bank."
"The ancestors can rest assured that they can't miss business."
Of course, Shaofu Jialing could not really rest assured.
He sent people to stare at the South City Gate and the cement road, but he saved a lot of things for Gu Jiu.
Once something goes wrong in these two places, the Family Order of the Young Mansion will definitely notify her as soon as possible.
...
On the rare days of rest, cousin Su Zhengsu came to visit.
"Quickly invite Cousin Su to the Flower Hall for tea."
It is rare for Su Zheng to visit, and Gu Jiu is very happy.
In the past few years, the Su family has supplied medicinal materials to the pharmacy, and invested money in Nanchengmen and Cement Road. The days are finally showing signs of prosperity.
But the Su family is really not for business.
In the first two years, I made some money by supplying medicinal materials. With the capital, the Su family wanted to do some other business and buy back the sold family business early.
As a result, except for the medicinal material business supported by Gu Jiu which is still profitable, all other businesses have lost their energy.
After several tossings, I almost made the cost of the medicinal materials business.
At this moment, all the Su family members realized that their family is really not for business.
The reason why the medicinal material business can make money depends on Gu Jiu's pharmacy looking for them to purchase medicinal materials all the year round.
They only need to be a middleman to ensure the quality of the medicinal materials and supply them on time.
After realizing that it was not for business, the Su family stopped thinking about doing business.
They will earn money to buy land and house.
In my hometown, the farmland that had been sold out of poverty was bought back little by little.
On the capital side, the old house cannot be bought back.
He repurchased a house.
After Su Zheng was admitted to the Jinshi and became an official, the Su family successively went to the capital.
After all, the capital is the root of the imperial city. Whether it is studying or doing business, it is better than home.
Gu Jiu packed up and went to the Hua Ting to meet with Su Zheng.
"Cousin Su is a rare visitor, it's rare to come to the palace."
Su Zheng joked: "The threshold of the palace is too high, I really dare not step in easily."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "I didn't expect that Cousin Su, who has always been serious, also learned to joke."
Su Zheng waved his hands again and again, and said with embarrassment: "If you have more entertainment, you will learn a little too."
"Are your uncle and aunt okay?"
At the end of last year, Su Zheng's parents, Gu Jiu's uncle and aunt, took their children to the capital. At that time, Gu Jiu also visited.
Su Zheng nodded, "Sister Xiao Jiu is interested, and everyone in the family is very nice. I am here today, I want to ask sister Xiao Jiu about something."
Gu Jiu said hurriedly, "Cousin Su, please tell me."
Su Zheng looked hesitant, as if he didn't know how to speak.
After thinking about it, he said, "I'm coming here today because of my marriage."
Oh!
Gu Jiu smiled meaningfully.
Su Zheng, a three-year-old unmarried young man, the marriage has been dragged on until today.
The eldest uncle and the eldest aunt worked tirelessly to go to the capital, the main purpose of which was to settle Su Zheng's marriage.
Gu Jiu smiled and asked, "Is Cousin Su's marriage done? When will I have a wedding wine?"
Su Zheng shook his head, "That's not true. I'm here today because someone asked a matchmaker to come and propose marriage the other day. Nothing else, the family who proposes the marriage is too big, which is really surprising and astounding. My father can't do it either. Knowing the specific purpose of the other party, he asked me to go to the palace and ask sister Xiao Jiu."
When Gu Jiu heard this, he put away his joking thoughts, "Whose family proposes to make uncle Su and Cousin Su so nervous?"
Su Zheng looked around, then said in a low voice, "The Cui Family of the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion."
what?
Gu Jiu was shocked.
Sure enough, the background is huge, surprising and staggering.
"Are you sure it's the Cui family of Zhen Guo Gongfu?"
Su Zheng nodded, "It's true. Sister Xiao Jiu, I'm just a little-known person. Why would the Cui family look at me? It's weird to send a matchmaker to propose marriage. My father guessed whether it was Cui. Because of Xiao Jiu’s sister, the family will come to propose marriage."
"No, it can't be all because of me." Gu Jiu slowly shook his head, "Is it a prostitution or a prostitution?"
The same surname is Cui, the protagonist and the general are quite different.
Su Zheng said solemnly: "It's a prostitute and prostitute. If it's a prostitute, I don't need to be nervous."
It turned out to be a direct daughter or a daughter.
This thing is strange.
After the death of Empress Ruizhen Cui, the Cui family of Zhen Guo Gong's mansion slowly faded out of sight.
After the death of Prince Renxuan, Zhen Guogong resigned directly and went home for retirement.
This generation of Zhen Guo Gong was the nephew of Queen Ruizhen Cui. He was only in his early fifties, so he quit his job and went home for the elderly, apparently for self-protection.
In the Cui family of Zhenguo Gongfu, there are still a few errands working in the yamen, but they are all small officials of the fifth and sixth ranks. Not only do they have no real power, but they also have no qualifications to go to the Great Court.
It can be said that in just a few years, the Cui family of Zhenguo Gongfu has faded out of the right stratum.
However, the lean camel was bigger than the horse. At any rate, it was also the official government's mansion. It had a knighthood on him, and his family was placed there. It was not something the Su family can climb.
The Cui family of the government of Zhenguo, marrying the prostitute's prostitute to Su Zheng, the seventh grade official, what picture?
Graph money?
In the past two years, the Su family has taken a sigh of relief, and has a family background that can afford the children at home to study.
Figure people?
Cousin Su looks good, but not as good as Maung Bi Pan An.
Picture talent?
In the same year, the pros and cons were chic and handsome, and they made good poems. They were young unmarried men of the same age. Su Zheng is incomparable with the other party.
Oops, only the personal connections are left.
Twenty years ago, the Su family was demoted out of Beijing, and there were very few personal connections left. I don’t have close contacts with my in-laws.
The only thing left is Gu Jiu's relationship, which has always been in contact, and it's still close.
But it's about the prince and the succession to the throne. Given the current situation of the Cui family of the town government office, I am afraid that I don't have the guts to provoke such a dispute.
It's no wonder that the proposal of the Cui family in the town government's residence made Uncle Su's uncle panicked and directly asked Su Zheng to come to ask Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu thought about it and said to Su Zheng: "How does the uncle reply to the matchmaker?"
Su Zheng whispered: "I am afraid of offending people, so I dare not say it to death. Just saying that the family is poor, it takes a few days to consider."
"Is there a reply from the Cui family?"
"Not yet. Just be afraid. A matchmaker will come and wait for a reply in two days. You can't postpone it any longer, but you can only refuse it. I'm afraid that I don't know whether I'm guilty or not."
Gu Jiu pondered for a while, "Wait a minute. I haven't paid attention to the movement of the Cui family. I asked someone to ask my Royal Highness, he should know some inside information."
"Sister Xiao Jiu, trouble."
"No trouble."
Gu Jiu sent someone to the study to invite Liu Zhao, but Liu Zhao was not there and left the house.
Qian Fu personally went to Hua Ting to reply, "Ms. Qizhen, half an hour ago, His Royal Highness needs to leave the house temporarily for some business. Regardless of the situation in the Cui family of the town government mansion, the old slave knows a thing or two."
Gu Jiu laughed, "Why did I forget you? If you say who has the best information, it is you in the entire palace. Why did the Cui family send a matchmaker to Su's family to propose marriage? Let's just listen."
Qian Fu first glanced at Su Zheng, "This matter is still in the making, and Young Master Su doesn't know that there is excuse for the inside story."
"What inside story?" Gu Jiu was curious.
Qian Fu said: "Calculate the time, wait until tomorrow, the court should have an attack. Your majesty has arranged someone, and someone in Ming'er will propose to cut the title to test the reaction of the court."
"What? Jue Jue?" Gu Jiu was shocked.
No wonder the court was silent.
This matter is too much involved.
"The Cui Family of the Town Government Palace, did you get the news in advance?" Gu Jiu instantly wanted to understand the connection.
Qian Fu nodded, "Exactly. The Cui family of the town government is now in an embarrassing situation, but their family is one of the only remaining hereditary government offices.
This generation of Zhen Guo Gong is not good at being an official, but he is really good at looking at the direction of the wind. It is estimated that the Cui family will be overthrown, so arrangements are made in advance.
Marrying the daughter of the daughter to the son of Su, now it seems to be a low marriage. In the future, when it comes to the day when you have to cut the jue, this move will survive. The Su family leaned on his wife, so he could protect a few people no matter what. "
Gu Jiu looked at Su Zheng.
Su Zheng's face paled, "It's so! It's so long-term. It's just that the reduction of the title is of great importance, and your majesty's foundation is unstable. How dare you do the reduction of the title at this time. Don't you worry about the generals making trouble?"
Qian Fu said: "That's why it is a temptation, not really cutting the jue. However, your majesty's heart of cutting the jue will not die for a day, and this matter has been hanging. In the current situation of the Cui family of the town government, he lowered his daughter. Marrying is also a strategy of self-protection."
Su Zheng was a little flustered. It was the first time in his life that he had come into contact with this level of affairs, and he didn't know how to choose.
He looked at Gu Jiu, "Sister Xiao Jiu, what should I do? Can I just reject the Cui family?"
Gu Jiu said: "Look at the news in tomorrow's dynasty first, and then make a decision. Cousin Su, don't panic. Whether you marry Cui's daughter, or whether you want to cut the title, you will not be involved. Your Majesty cuts Sir, I’m afraid the drunkard doesn’t mean wine."
Su Zheng was a little confused.
After all, he hadn't been exposed to this level properly, and he didn't know many things. The lack of information prevented him from making accurate judgments.
Gu Jiu didn't elaborate, "After cousin Su returns, you can tell your uncle about the reduction of the title. But you can't spread it, so as not to break your majesty's arrangement. I will send someone to send it to you when I have news. These few days, you will be a errand as usual."
Su Zheng took a deep breath and calmed down, "I will wash my sister Xiaojiu more. I will be tight-lipped about the cut of the jue, except my father."
Gu Jiu personally sent Su Zheng out the door.
After returning to the east courtyard, she called Qian Fu to talk to her.
In front of Su Zheng, there are some things that cannot be said through.
When outsiders are gone, Gu Jiu has no scruples, "Who gave your majesty the idea, and tried to test the civil and military reaction with the majesty. Are you not afraid of the shock in the army and the instability of the people?"
