Chapter 453 Conversation Between the Grandfather and Grandson
There were signs that a war would break out in Xijiang. The court was prepared for it and so it was not a big surprise.
But it didn’t mean that they could take it easy. The war was all about money. Even if nowadays Darui was still rich, fighting on two fronts placed a lot of stress!
And at this juncture, the actual regent, Marquess Qin, was seriously ill, which could be traced to the remaining members of the Gu family. The internal struggle of the Jiang Family was no longer a secret... Things didn’t look good with all the mess that was going on!
“It is a battle that can’t afford to lose!” Duke of Huainan Chu Xiao headed for Xue Chang as soon as he received the news of the war in Xijiang, “Prime Minister Xue, please give some advice!”
Xue Chang screwed up his eyes and stroked his moustache, “As an official of Darui, how can I not hope that Emperor’s army can pacify Xijiang as soon as possible? But I don’t know anything about

He is over forty years old this year while he is just Juren.” Jiang Yashuang told his wife in private, “When he first came to me, I saw that he was well organized and he talked about his official duties in a sensible way.

"Mi Yinyin was kind of crazy already when she was in the Mansion of Sir Jibei, and then the Thirteenth Young Master wrote the divorce letter to her after she was sent back to her maiden family. Although it became a peaceful divorce after Madame Shi intermediated, she was no longer the thirteenth madame after all. Mi Yinyin became even crazier after she knew it." Su He gossiped about the things she overheard, "She was tossing around at home every day and it made everyone miserable. Although Old Madame Mi and Madame Chu loved her, they couldn't leave her to disturb the lives of other family members. So, they pampered and persuaded her into being sent away to stay at the village outside the city."Qiu Yelan asked, "When was this?""It was the days around last Lunar New Year's Eve. I think they were afraid that she might spoil the auspicious atmosphere of the festival, right?" Su He made her guess, "She stayed in the village for over a month. After the f

“Our father always deeply respects this eldest uncle, regarding him as his own father.” Jiang Tianqi wiped his cold sweat, uncovering worries and fears in his tone, “Certainly, he mustn’t hear the death. But now, our father’s elder brother died while all grown men are serving around our father. We can’t just send our butlers or bodyguards to Kui County. What should we do?”Nobody could blame Jiang Tianqi for his unsuitable behavior now. Even if Marquess Qin’s health condition had been improved, he was still on the bed. And the most important thing was that the sad news of his brothers’ deaths would strike his struggles for life. Otherwise, he shouldn’t hold Madame Tao’s hands to say the words hidden in his heart.Under this circumstance, Marquess Qin must give up his last struggle for life after hearing that Kui Xiannan died and go with his brother.All people were in silence for a long while. Jiang Tianqi looked at the fourth branch, “M

"Is Hong Shan pregnant?" Jiang Tianqi had a showdown with his nephew to deal with the situation after the pillar of the family fell. Madame Zhuang, who was waiting for her son in the fourth branch, had a pale face, "Are you sure?""Because she hasn't been pregnant for a long time, the doctor doesn't dare to confirm it, but he also says that she may well be pregnant." The servant sent by Madame Wen said cautiously, "Madame let me come here to ask you... What if Hong Shan is really pregnant?"Qiu Yelan, who was also waiting for her husband, had a twitch at the corner of her mouth, thinking that fortunately Chu Yitong had just been sent back to the yard by Madame Zhuang. Otherwise, she would be so annoyed.But Madame Zhuang was just as annoyed as her eldest daughter-in-law. After rubbing her forehead for a long while, she said lukewarmly, "What about Hong Shan herself? Would she like to be with Dan'er or would she like to marry another pers

This night, Jiang Yashuang served a bowl of medicine to Marquess Qin. Suddenly, Marquess Qin asked, "Kui Xiannan died?""What do you say?" Jiang Yashuang was taken aback, considering if somebody serving him just now leaked. Jiang Yashuang disagreed in the mouth, "My eldest grand uncle can't get up now. But it's no big deal. And for the return of the eldest uncle’s family, my eldest grand uncle gets a higher spirit and becomes healthier.""I dreamed that he said goodbye to me." Marquess Qin said weakly.Jiang Yashuang kept calm, "You must worry too much about my eldest grand uncle so that you dreamed about him at night. It can't be real.""Just go into mourning!" Marquess Qin closed his eyes and said weakly, "He is the eldest brother of our generation. Don't trifle his mourning things for me. And pay attention to the people of condolence. Don't send children of grandsons to temporize him. Your generations go in condolence. Ma
The Counterattack of the Downcast Queen Chapter 459 One-year-old Birthday Banquet
But no matter how empty the national treasury was, it was not possible to keep highborn ladies from marriage. It was basically impossible to save on these expenses. It was no wonder that Marquess Qin treated Xue Chang so favourably. Faced with the amount of money the court needed to spend, if there hadn’t been a prime minister who was good at filling the national treasury without harassing the people, he would have exploited their people!Qiu Yelan sighed for a while about the pressure on the national treasury. And then she suddenly thought of Chu Chunxiao, “Chunxiao is about the same age as Yongfu. She is 20 years old this year. Even though Yongfu doesn’t marry, she has gotten engaged. It has been three or five years now, hasn’t it? They can’t continue to force her to marry the Duke of Puyang, can they?”Jiang Yashuang was reminded of this. He pondered for a moment and said, “All right, you should go to the palace in a couple of days and put the fee

And the Lian Family received them with great enthusiasm. At the birthday banquet, Madame Lian sought an opportunity to ask quietly, “I heard that Princess Royal Lexin is going to get married in the same month of Emperor’s birthday, right?”“Yes.” Qiu Yelan knew what she meant, “After the marriage of Princess Royal, it was the turn of Prince of Wei.”Madame Lian was relieved. Back then, Wang Qingqian was unexpectedly chosen as the princess. But first, she couldn’t get the dowry together, which was finally solved after the raid on the Duan Family. And then Empress Dowager Gu and the former emperor died. On the advice of important officials,

He Shuijin went ahead and did it. Two days later, there was news that she got so mad that she imposed heavy punishment on a dozen stewards. Of course, the reason was that they made major mistakes that had resulted in huge losses.“It is no exaggeration to say that our family is now rolling in money every day. You and the stewards have earned so much for the family over the years, haven’t you? But we all make mistakes. You can punish them for their occasional mistakes. Why be so angry?” When Madame Tao found out about this, she called He Shuijin over and advised her, “Don’t make them feel chilled in their hearts. It is okay to make up for the mistakes in other ways. You need to take care of such a big family. Even though you are young, it’s no good for your health if you always get angry!”“My grandmother, the thing you don’t know is that I have got a plan to make a good deal of money.
