Chapter 908 Deeply Puzzled
What a joke, how can the family wealth exceed that of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion? No, who said that the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion has a lot of wealth? It seems that the Liao family did not pay much protection fee.

Didn’t the Liao family only provide medicinal materials to the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion and get paid for it? How did it get involved with protection fees? Now, only the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion in Daliang has a good ending.

For example, the Duke of Liang’s Mansion was not tolerated by the previous emperor. What’s more, the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion still holds military power. How dare they act as a protective umbrella and use it to make money?

“Who told you that the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion is very wealthy?” Zhou Banxia tilted his head in confusion. Not to mention that there have been no major wars on the border in the past fifty years, even the first Duke of Zhenguo?

He was originally an illiterate mountain villager and a personal soldier of the founding emperor of Daliang. Even after he was conferred the title of Duke of Zhenguo, he was still brave but not wise.

He was famous for his ability to fight wars, but every time he went to war, he always had a military advisor who understood military tactics by his side to give him advice. That military advisor was the first Duke of Liang, Zhou Shan.

Unlike the Duke of Zhenguo who only wanted gold and silver as spoils after every battle, the Duke of Liang was very good at making money. While others wanted gold, silver and jewelry, he wanted treasures that could be passed down to his family.

In order to defame himself, Duke Liang took almost all of the things like books, calligraphy and paintings, rare books and secret recipes. That was why her uncle became extremely wealthy even after returning the ancestral property.

After all, the first generation of Duke of Liang had accumulated a considerable fortune, and successive generations of Dukes of Liang had a talent for business. Even if only one third was returned, it would still be a huge legacy.

Like her master mother.

She was just a daughter of the Duke of Liang who was married off. Yet, even in her private treasury, the only place in the imperial residence that had not been sealed off, there were an inordinate number of head ornaments and jewellery.

How much?
Her dowry list was several meters long, and the only item recorded for head ornaments and jewelry was just a few words. But what was this “a few”?
what!
Just as her eldest brother had said before, they only picked out a few things and sent them over. Just as her eldest brother had said, they only picked out a few things. The west wing in the front was even more crowded than it could hold.

Even the daughter who married out was so wealthy, how could the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion compare?

Even the Gao family is much wealthier than the Zhenguo Mansion. After all, the Gao family has never married daughters-in-law of low status, unlike the Zhenguo Mansion, where several mistresses were of humble origins.

The worst thing is!

The Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion also had a Crown Princess, who had a huge dowry. Before the Crown Princess could give birth to a child and become the Queen, even her dowry was eaten up by the royal family.

“Hahaha…” Gu Wenxuan thought his wife was beckoning him with her finger and whispering something to him, “Are you so sure?”

“Of course, my uncle said that when the founding emperor was still at war, he had already made a golden rule: whoever eats the salary without working will be punished along with his entire clan. No one dares to do that.

Since the Zhenguogong Mansion has been able to remain as stable as a rock until now, it is clear that it will not be idle. Think about it again, even if the Crown Princess left, what if she left behind a son? “

Passively standing in line?
Has it become the same as the Duke of Liang’s Mansion?

No, the wife is thinking of the timing of her master’s departure! Gu Wenxuan immediately replied: “It’s too complicated, let’s compare with the Liao family.

You should accumulate strength first, and when our daughter grows up, let her defeat the Liao family. The only thing that bothers me is what kind of husband should I find for my daughter? “

“…” You know how to change the subject. Zhou Banxia couldn’t help but smile. Whatever, the dead are gone, and the living are like this. “Think about it slowly. There is plenty of time when the children get married.” “Yes, I’d better go back and talk to my father-in-law about this. My father-in-law is good at finding a son-in-law. Just look at me and my father-in-law will like me at first sight.”

blow!
Keep blowing!
Gu Wenxuan looked at his wife’s teasing eyes and couldn’t help but laugh, “You don’t understand this, isn’t there a saying that the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him, but the more the father-in-law looks at him, the angrier he gets?
I stole my father-in-law’s little cotton-padded jacket, and he can still say that my third uncle looks like a good boy. Do you know what that means? Your father has always loved me, but he is just afraid that I will become proud. If you don’t believe me, go back and ask your father if he is satisfied with me, the third uncle?”

There is nothing you can do if you are not satisfied. Can you return the goods? Zhou Banxia laughed and nodded, “That makes sense. If a son-in-law is as attentive as you, he will definitely be 100% satisfied.

Look, I’m sending you to the brick kiln again. Yes, did you tell your parents before you came back? What did they say? Did they think I was too naive? “

“What are you thinking about?” Gu Wenxuan glanced at her with amusement, “Don’t say that our parents are not short-sighted people, the real priceless treasure is you, do you understand?

As long as you are here, you can turn a workshop into a brick kiln if you use your brain. Even if you give them another workshop, see if they will feel bad.

If you say that your father felt sorry for you not taking the prescription seriously before, he doesn’t feel sorry anymore now that you have taken the pancreas prescription and have used it to great effect.

Just like the tofu shop, let alone the whole Qingyang County, we are not the only one in our town who can make tofu. But is there anyone who can make it in so many different ways like you?

From adding soy products step by step to now the entire Qingyang County soy products industry has been monopolized by you unknowingly. Needless to say, you can imagine that our parents know that you have ulterior motives in doing things.

Otherwise, why does my elder brother still think that you are very scheming and I can’t beat you. Yesterday in the study, my elder brother said in front of our father, Liu Lang, you should consult your wife more often, hahaha…”

This brother-protecting demon, Zhou Banxia’s mouth twitched, “The whole Gu family’s heart and soul are all on you two brothers, no, and Baoya is also very smart.

When I was seven or eight years old, I was not like Baoya. After a trip to Beijing, I almost knew every powerful family’s family tradition and which family valued which in-laws.

I was so stupid at that time. I couldn’t even figure out which family in my own village was reliable. Even when I was in college, I was still cheated by that hypocritical cousin.”

“It’s not your fault. What girl has to rely on herself for everything? No one is there to guide her. You are already very good. You know how to hide 70 cents out of every dollar you earn.”

Speaking of earning one dollar and hiding seventy cents, Zhou Banxia couldn’t help but roll his eyes at him, then thought it was funny, “It was your idea, but I was stupid enough to cooperate with you.

You did a lot of things like this to trick me, but I was young and ignorant and thought that I was the one who gave the money to you for safekeeping.

After that, it becomes a habit for me to consult you whenever I have any problem, and I am foolishly afraid that you will be bullied, and I don’t feel at ease wherever you go.”

And so it went on. When we grew up, we still considered each other good brothers. We went everywhere together and did everything together. We didn’t realize we couldn’t be good brothers anymore until we went to college.

This brother who was quick to realize was very dishonest. When a boy borrowed her notes to copy, she lied to her that the boy wanted to borrow her hand so that she could exchange his notes and say that they were lost.

She didn’t understand what puppy love was at that time. After hearing what he said, she took the initiative to use her imagination. She even dared to use dirty tricks and hated the other party for not being able to see her good brother.

Later, when someone sent her flowers, this guy lied to her and told her to get past him first. She really thought he was her elder brother!
“You’re so mean.”
