Chapter 4557 Taking Advantage
The two Gu brothers have been in charge of the company over the years. The company's business has been very large. The merchant ships have expanded overseas, using tea, porcelain and silk to exchange for countless silver for the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Their brothers also went out with merchant ships from time to time, and they were no less knowledgeable than Yun Dai and Zhao Yuanjing.
Therefore, the two of them reacted much less than the cousins in the Hou Mansion.
This made Yun Dai feel much more relaxed.
Gu Chengan knew that they had already had dinner at the Marquis Mansion, so he ordered someone to prepare good refreshments and explain in detail the affairs of the business in the past few years.
"Princess Qian'er is very capable and manages the business well." Gu Chengning held the tea cup and praised Qian'er.
Yun Dai smiled and said, "Don't praise her deliberately."
Gu Chengan also laughed: "This is a fact, why is it a compliment?"
"It's good that half of her thoughts in the past few years have been on the business." Yun Dai said.
Regarding the entanglements between Qian'er and Li Zhongci, she already knew in detail from the letters sent to her by her children.
As parents, she and Zhao Yuanjing certainly felt sorry for their daughter, but she had chosen her own daughter in the first place, so she could only bear the consequences herself.
What's more, she is a princess and has brothers and sisters to protect her in Kyoto. The Li family cannot cause any substantial harm to her.
If he was injured, it was only a psychological injury.
This kind of injury cannot be solved by outsiders.
She can only feel it slowly by herself, and then things will get better naturally if she sees away from it. When she meets another person who can give her warmth, she will truly get over this trauma.
The fact was just as Yun Dai expected.
Qian'er went out for a walk, saw the suffering in the world, saw more mountains and rivers, and realized that the things she and Li Zhongci had were nothing.
She has completely let go and can be with Xiaozhuang without any worries.
This process was very long, which resulted in her not being able to focus wholeheartedly on running the business.
Zhao Yuanjing said from the side: "Qian'er's concentration on work is far less than that of her mother."
Gu Chengan smiled and said: "It's true. When it comes to doing things, who can be as dedicated as the Queen Mother?"
When the business was first established, she worked hard all night to produce all the products she sold.
The growth of the business was also a painstaking process for her.
Today's Qian'er is just picking things up.
What's more, there are already mature chief stewards and second stewards.
The two stewards back then were not like they are now.
The young Gu Chengan was full of resentment, and he also had the desire for an official career as a scholar. As for Gu Chengning, he was simply an ignorant and ignorant dandy, a gangster who lived on the streets.
It has been tempered over the years.
Mentioning the past, Gu Chengan sighed: "If it hadn't been for the Queen Mother, I don't know what we would have become."
"I'm afraid I'm living in poverty on the street, right?" Gu Chengning smiled, "That's secondary. The most important thing is that I will definitely not be able to marry the most beautiful woman in the world and have a lot of children."
Yue Xi, who had been listening gently and quietly, heard the words and raised her eyes to look at him, her cheeks filled with a hint of womanly love and shyness.
It's amazing.
Yun Dai teased him: "Isn't that right? If we talk about taking advantage, the second manager still took a huge advantage. Back then, Yue Xi was the concubine chosen by the Empress Dowager for Zhao Yuanjing."
Gu Chengning chuckled.
"This is all in the past, and I still bring it up." Zhao Yuanjing said calmly, "Fortunately, I have the foresight to find an opportunity to escape from the palace. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been tortured to death by you."
