My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 179 Xiao Ningyue's Deep Affection
Xiao Ningyue came to see her older brother. Her older brother was very good at studying, so Xiao Ningyue was very happy. She also hoped that her family would have a scholar, a juren or a jinshi. However, all this depended on fate. But her younger brother's study would be helpful whether he had the opportunity to become an official or do business in the future.

If I am not good at studying, the family business will be handed over to my eldest brother. If my eldest brother is good at studying, the business will be handed over to my second brother. In any case, the family business cannot be lost.

Xiao Ningyue's elder brother hesitated for a moment, looked at Xiao Ningyue, thought for a moment, and asked, "Sister, I heard that you are very familiar with Haozhou Bo? And I also heard, I heard, "

"What did you hear?" Xiao Ningyue immediately looked at Xiao Ningyue seriously and said.

"I heard that the reason why our family did not collapse was because you, elder sister, relied on the Earl of Haozhou. If it weren't for the Earl of Haozhou, we would have collapsed. Some people say that you, elder sister, wanted to enter the Earl of Haozhou's family, even to be a concubine." Xiao Ningyue's eldest brother said with his head down.

After hearing this, Xiao Ningyue was silent for a moment, then said, "What do you think of your elder sister?"

Xiao Ningyue's eldest brother immediately knelt down and said to her, "Big sister, I know you've been wronged. For the sake of the family, you were rejected by someone. It's my incompetence, but I don't want others to say bad things about you. I wanted to beat them up, but I, I don't have the courage."

Xiao Ningyue just smiled and continued, "What do you think of those rumors outside? Those rumors are true, but not all of them."

"I, I still hope that my sister can get married, marry into a good family, instead of being someone else's concubine." The younger brother knelt on the ground and said with his head down.

Xiao Ningyue smiled, then sighed and said, "Your sister will not marry. Either she will become the woman of Lord Haozhou, or she will never marry. I fell in love with Lord Haozhou. It's not that I covet Lord Haozhou's status and position, but because when your sister was most desperate, it was Lord Haozhou who saved her.

Do you know that your eldest sister put all our family property in front of Haozhou Bo, and Haozhou Bo still chose our family property. I just wanted to exchange for our family's safety. But Haozhou Bo looked down on it. Not only did he look down on it, he also gave his Xu family's cloth to our family to sell, so that our family could be revived.

At that time, I made up my mind that I would live with a man like this for the rest of my life, no matter who he was.

There are rumors outside that my sister wants to be the concubine of the Earl of Haozhou. It is true, but this is also my wishful thinking. I don’t know whether it can succeed or not.

Whether it succeeds or not, it all depends on fate. If I'm lucky, I might live with him, even if I have to eat coarse food, I'll be happy. If I can't live with him, that's also my fate, and I'd rather live alone with an oil lamp until the end of my life.

Sister, if you just find someone to marry, I believe your life will not be bad, but I look down on those people. Even if this person is the prime minister's son, I still look down on him, or even if he is the eldest son of a duke given to me by someone else, I still look down on him.

I just like Haozhou Bo and I just like Sakya Bao.

Therefore, you don't have to pay attention to the rumors outside. The Earl of Haozhou is not that vulgar, nor is he that hungry to the point of being ruthless. Even if your sister gets close to him, he may not agree.

Everything is fate. What I want now is that you grow up quickly so that I can hand over the family business to you to manage. If I can't enter the Xu family, I will find a nun and become a nun, because in this world, except for Shakyabao, I can't love anyone else." Xiao Ningyue looked at her older brother and said with a wry smile.

When Xiao Ningyue's older brother heard this, he burst into tears and cried, "Sister, why do you have to do this?"

Xiao Ningyue smiled and wiped away her brother's tears, saying, "Last year, when our family was in trouble, your sister knelt down and kowtowed hundreds of times before she found Shijiabao, but no one was willing to lend a helping hand.

In the end, I gambled with my life.

When Sakyabao was in the capital, everyone said he was a playboy and arrogant. I plucked up the courage and stopped Sakyabao's horse. I was thinking that I would either be beaten to death by Sakyabao or ask Sakyabao for help.

But with just one word from Sakya Bao, our family was able to buy the spindles. Later, Chen Tangjin came to cause trouble for our family again. I went to find Sakya Bao again and happened to meet Chen Tangjin coming out of Cuiyueju. Sakya Bao raised his whip and beat Chen Tangjin. Until now, Chen Tangjin has not dared to cause trouble for our family.

I guess he won’t dare to do that in the future. If I could enter the Xu family at that time, he would probably kneel in front of me and beg for my forgiveness.

At that time, my sister and Shakyabao were not related in any way, and there was a huge gap in their status. However, he was willing to help and saved our family from the dire situation. He also saved the lives of our entire family. Brother, do you think my sister should pay him back?
Even if Shakyabao wanted my life now, your sister would give him her life without hesitation.

Last year, your sister's knees were sore from kneeling.

Only Shakyabao can help your sister and our family." Xiao Ningyue said with tears in her eyes as she sat there, looking at the trees in the distance.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Xiao Ningyue's older brother said crying.

"You are still young, and you don't understand a lot of things at home and outside. I just hope that you grow up quickly and can stand on your own. Then I will feel more at ease." Xiao Ningyue wiped her eyes and said to her older brother with a smile.

"Yes! Thank you, sister!" The older brother nodded and cried. "No matter when in the future, even if Sakyabao took my life, you must respect him enough when you see him. He is the savior of our family. Without him, we would have turned into dust now. Our family must remember this kindness, especially you. You must remember that you are the eldest son of our family." Xiao Ningyue said to her younger brother.

My brother nodded affirmatively.

As for Xu Qin, he was so busy that he didn't return to the city until the evening. After thinking about it, Xu Qin did not go home directly, but took a detour to Prince Zhao's Mansion.

When Zhu Gaosui heard that Xu Qin had arrived, he immediately had someone bring him in. Zhu Gaosui also stood at the door of the living room with a smile to greet Xu Qin.

As Xu Qin walked around the screen wall, Zhu Gaosui shouted with a smile: "Hey, Shijiabao, what brings you here?"

"Third cousin, I'm here to make a living." Xu Qin said with a smile.

"Come here quickly. It's time for dinner. Let's have a drink together." Zhu Gaosui also greeted with a smile.

When he arrived at the living room, Xu Qin also saw Princess Zhao and immediately bowed.

Princess Zhao is actually a very sensible person, but King Zhao is sometimes not very reliable. However, if it weren't for Princess Zhao's supervision, King Zhao would have done many ridiculous things.

But then again, my aunt's vision in choosing daughters-in-law is really impeccable. Whether it's the Crown Princess, the Princess of Han, or the Princess of Zhao, they are all really excellent women. Not to mention managing the household, they are all very capable and are good wives to her three sons.

"Shakyabao, come in and sit down quickly. You are a rare guest. You two brothers will want to have something to drink later. I will go and prepare some snacks for you." Princess Zhao said enthusiastically.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Xu Qin said with a smile and bowed.

"Why call me Your Highness? Call me sister-in-law. Don't call me Your Highness. It's too formal." Princess Zhao said in feigned anger.

"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, thank you very much." Xu Qin immediately responded with a smile.

"You two continue chatting, I'll go get ready." Princess Zhao said with a smile.

After Princess Zhao left, Zhu Gaosui smiled and asked Xu Qin to sit down, saying, "Zhu Gang came to see you, didn't he? Don't blame me, your cousin. The workshop owners used to come to my palace every year to give gifts and smile. I couldn't not go. If I didn't go, I would seem incompetent. I can't even handle such a small matter."

"Hehe, I don't mean to blame you. Zhu Gang came to me and said that he hoped to accept yours, but he has no power and has to ask me for permission. I was worried that those nobles would come to intercede for me, which would make it difficult to do. I didn't expect you to come to intercede, so Zhu Gang didn't make the decision. Don't worry, it's okay, I'll accept them all. But cousin, you've suffered a great loss." Xu Qin said to Zhu Gaosui with a smile.

"Huh?" Zhu Gaosui looked at Xu Qin in confusion.

"If it was your own workshop, you would probably make tens of thousands of taels this time, but how much money can you make by helping others to intercede? Besides, the Trade Bureau is estimated to go to sea more than a dozen times a year in the future, or even dozens of times. Just think about it, how much is the volume?
Of course, I don’t want you to rob other people’s workshops. If His Majesty finds out, he will deal with you and me too. However, you can set up your own workshop and make some money!

Let's not talk about other things, just say that the workshops you helped to arrange marriage this time are worth about 200,000 taels, which is just the amount of goods we carry every time we go to sea. I also know how much profit we make, about 50,000 taels, less than 60,000 taels, but what if our trade bureau goes to sea twelve times a year? Third cousin, calculate it yourself, how much money is here? "Xu Qin said to Zhu Gaosui with a smile.

"Hey, this, Sakya Bao, don't scare your cousin. There are some small conflicts between us, but I never said that I want to kill you." Zhu Gaosui looked at Xu Qin in surprise and said.

Xu Qin was speechless when he heard this. Only Zhu Gaosui could say such a brainless thing. If he wanted to harm him, what was the point of making him lose some money? If he wanted to harm him, then this was a chance to kill him directly.

But Zhu Gaosui still thought that I was trying to cheat him of his money. That was his narrow-mindedness and there was nothing he could do.

"My third cousin, why would I scare you? If you suffer a loss, you can go to my aunt and cry. It will be me who will be in trouble, right?" Xu Qin said helplessly to Zhu Gaosui.

"Yes, if you really cheat me, your aunt will punish you. Okay, but how can I do it? I don't know how to run such a workshop." Zhu Gaosui felt much more relieved after hearing this.

As long as he could make money, Zhu Gaosui was interested.
