LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 52 Worship
Mrs. Chang is indeed not short of money.
The Chang family itself has been the darling of several generations and has a very strong family background. After Mrs. Chang got married, the Chang family's wealth increased dozens of times.
Outsiders don't know that the famous God of Wealth in the Yujin Dynasty is Mrs. Chang.
She has been very good at business since she was a girl, and there are all kinds of new gadgets emerging one after another. Many seemingly unrelated shops are actually Mrs. Chang behind them.
After getting married, she played the piano and played the piano with her old uncle, and with his support behind her, she made a lot of money.
Although it cannot be said that they are as rich as the country, they are definitely one of the richest families.
Being so rich, he still had a clear path with the Holy Emperor. Whenever the Chang family had something new or something good, a copy would be sent to the palace first.
If there was any natural or man-made disaster in the Yujin Dynasty, Mrs. Chang would enter the palace immediately. For example, in the third year after the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, there was a severe drought in the area, but the imperial treasury was empty.
It was Mrs. Chang who went into the palace to meet the emperor and said bluntly that the Chang family were ministers and the Chang family's money was His Majesty's own money. She even directly used half of the money to support disaster relief.
That time the emperor and the empress were deeply moved. It has been more than ten or twenty years since he took the throne, and he still feels emotional every time he thinks about it.
The Tian family is also at ease with the Chang family, subsidizing them openly and covertly. In the eyes of the current emperor and empress, the Chang family were the most loyal ministers of the Yujin Dynasty. Although the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were puzzled, they were not envious.
With the support of the current sage, Mrs. Chang's business is even bigger and more stable.
The most profitable restaurants in Beijing, the most well-known restaurants, the clothing stores and jewelry stores that are most sought after by noble ladies are all under the name of Mrs. Chang.
For such a rich old lady, even a little leakage from the cracks of her fingers is enough for people to eat.
Now, the old lady started to reveal herself to Long Baoer. The pocket money given to such a young girl is better than the dowry that many noble girls receive when they get married.
"Your second sister-in-law doesn't know about this, right?" Xue Qingsong suddenly remembered this.
This guy is a bit petty, and he has caused trouble for his second uncle for so many years.
"I am in charge of all my mother's things. My elder sister-in-law is in charge of all expenses of the uncle's house. My second sister-in-law will not know." Chang Chun shook his head.
The Cao family is good at everything, civil servants and clear-minded people. The reputation is still good, and it will not increase the power of the Chang family.
This was what her second brother had chosen.
Mr. Cao also looks good and has some talents. It's just that the Cao family's background is too weak, and Qingliu is equivalent to poverty, which makes the Cao family feel a little petty.
It is precisely for this reason that the Zhuangzi shops under the name of the second brother, with an annual income of millions, dare not leave it to her to take care of.
First of all, she couldn't take care of it. She even took care of the accounts in her own yard. After all, the Cao family was very poor. The only things they kept in their accounts were clothing and food, and they didn't even have many servants.
Secondly, Cao’s temperament is such that he really can’t stand it.
When she first got married, the old lady planned to leave all the Zhuangzi shops under Chang Maoming's name to her.
As a result, Mrs. Cao thought that these were the accounts of the entire Chang family, and secretly thought that the old lady didn't like her eldest sister-in-law, so she was about to take over the housekeeper's power, which made her feel powerful for a while.
But she didn't know people well and listened to other people's beliefs. Not only did she mess up the accounts, but the people in charge also said one thing to her face and the other to her back.
When the incident happened, Mrs. Cao foolishly pleaded with the supervisor.
Chang Maoming was so angry that he took the account book back to the old lady.
After that, Cao was left to manage the accounts of his own hospital.
Fortunately, she can still take care of these accounts. But then something happened with Yingying.
Mrs. Cao once again showed her petty spirit and raised her niece from a thin little girl to the fat and rude person she is now. It's hard to know what to say.
Now that Chang Maoming is back, Xue Qingsong will feel bad if Cao makes trouble again.
"That's good." Xue Qingsong was relieved and looked at Long Bao'er, who had big eyes in his arms, and couldn't help but nod her nose, "Little girl, you are quite lucky."
"What's wrong?" Chang Chun asked with a smile.
"His Majesty just sent Eunuch Guo to convey the order, saying that when he enters the palace, he will take Long Bao'er with him."
"Husband, what does your Majesty mean by this?"
"I don't know, but Eunuch Guo said it is a good thing."
"That's fine." Chang Chun felt relieved.
Entering the palace is the first day of the Lunar New Year. They, the court officials and wives, all have to enter the palace.
In addition to congratulating the Holy Emperor and the Empress on the New Year, they also enjoyed royal meals. Originally, they did not plan to take Long Baoer with them.
Although the royal food is good, it is not enjoyable to eat, and I am afraid that children will not be able to bear any singing and dancing.
So in previous years, the couple went there alone, without any of their seven sons.
But since His Majesty has spoken this year, he has to go even if he doesn’t.
It was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye. On this morning, Chang Chun specially took Long Baoer to Yuntai Temple. Now Master Ma has placed an order here.
However, Chang Chun did not bring Long Baoer to visit Taoist Ma, but to pay homage to Grandma Sun.
After being kicked out by the Ji family, Grandma Sun dragged her sick body to the capital and told Xue Qingsong everything.
It's just that the old man was terminally ill. Even if the Xue family hired an imperial doctor to treat him, he still passed away.
When Xue Qingsong went to pick up Long Bao'er, Chang Chun took care of Grandma Sun's funeral affairs by herself. He also set up a memorial tablet for Grandma Sun in Yuntai Temple, where she could enjoy incense.
Long Baoer was young, and her health was too low before. Chang Chun didn't dare to bring her over after a dusty journey home.
Now that the Chinese New Year is here, I have to come over.
Long Baoer was very sensible along the way, but he was still a child. Although he had known for a long time that he would never see her again, he still hugged her and refused to let go when she saw the memorial tablet. She cried so sadly.
Even Chang Chun and the several maids he brought with him couldn't help crying.
It wasn't until Chang Chun coaxed Long Bao'er to cry anymore that Grandma Sun felt uneasy, that the little girl sobbed and held back her tears, "Mammy, Long Bao'er has found her uncle and aunt. Don't worry, Grandma, Long Bao'er will be safe in the future." I have a family."
After kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, Chang Chun asked Long Baoer to burn incense for Grandma Sun, and donated a large sum of money for sesame oil. Then he took Long Baoer home with his eyes red and swollen from crying.
Because of this trip, Long Baoer was in a very low mood all day long. Several brothers came to tease her and coax her to smile a little.
That night, a large table of delicious dishes was prepared at the general's house, which was much richer and more exquisite than usual.
The family had a hearty New Year's Eve dinner and stayed up late together.
