Chapter 133 Entering the Palace to Receive Reward
Thinking of Silly Bai Tian, Shangguan Yue actually thought of the Ninth Prince Xiao Yunteng.
Why did she suddenly think of that stupid fat guy?
She should be thinking about the current situation. Zhou Huaizhi is very approachable and makes people feel warm during the conversation. No wonder Zhou Cheng let him take over the business. This man is indeed capable.
The final result of the negotiation was that Shangguan Yue provided technology and an investment of 200,000 taels of capital, accounting for 50% of the shares; Zhou Huaizhi invested 500,000 taels of capital, accounting for 30% of the shares; and Zeng Qianer invested 300,000 taels of capital, accounting for 20% of the shares.
The group’s headquarters is located in Yuecheng. A new building will be built for company use, and other funds will be used to expand the dyeing factory and beauty factory.
A garment factory will also be set up to mass-produce ready-made clothes, Chen Bianbian will be invited to join in clothing design, and a clothing design department will be established.
"Mr. Zhou, the headquarters is in Yuecheng. I'll trouble you to travel between the two places in the future. When the company matures, we will set up a branch in Lincheng. That will be more convenient. After all, we have a lot of business in Lincheng."
Shangguan Yue thought about it and decided to set up a branch in Lincheng and let Zhou Huaizhi manage it, after all, his family was here.
"That's fine. It's all right. Maybe I'll settle down in Yuecheng in the future."
"Okay, let's make it this way. We'll set off back to Yuecheng tomorrow. If Mr. Zhou has time, he can come to Yuecheng to help. If not, he can come after the company is established.
Big sister, will you go back with me tomorrow or stay in Lincheng? If you don’t go back, then you…”
What Shangguan Yue wants to say is that if the problem is not solved and it is dragged on like this, it will not be good for anyone. You can't keep hesitating about whether to leave or stay, to separate or to get together.
Three pairs of eyes looked at Zeng Qianer.
"Why are you all looking at me? I definitely want to go back to Yuecheng with you, but... I'm worried about the children. I want to see if they are willing to go back to Yuecheng with me to play for a while."
The two children were disobedient and made her very angry, but they were her own children and she had raised them with so much effort. They were her flesh and blood, so naturally she was reluctant to let them go.
"Then go back and ask them! If you want to save the relationship, go for it. If you can't save it, don't force it. You have to know that rushing is not worth it. They have never experienced setbacks. If they have, they will naturally understand."
Shangguan Yue could only comfort Zeng Qianer. She could not help with these household affairs. The more she tried to help, the more trouble would arise. The last meeting at Cheng's house shattered her belief that the child was an angel. She told him that the child was simply a unreasonable little devil.
After the meeting, Zeng Qian'er went back to the Cheng Mansion. When the two children got out of school, she asked them if they would like to go back to Yuecheng to visit their grandfather. However, the meeting ended in an unpleasant atmosphere.
The two children kept scolding Zeng Qianer, saying that they had told her last time not to come back after leaving the house, so how could she be so shameless as to come back on her own and beg them like a dog.
He also said that now the whole city was filled with rumors about her, saying that she was secretly meeting with men outside her and flirting with other men, which had caused their father to lose face. She should admit her mistake to their father and then tell other people outside that she had acknowledged her mistake and would not make the same mistake again.
Zeng Qian'er was so angry that smoke came out of her head and fire flashed from her eyes. They were simply hopeless and she really wanted to retrain them.
Cheng Rui was even worse. He knew that she had never met with other men secretly, nor had she had any affair, but he didn't investigate and just let the child talk nonsense with others. It was so disheartening that the couple had not even basic trust in each other for ten years.
next morning
Five carriages were ready. Shangguan Yue, Chen Bianbian and Zeng Qian'er sat in the largest and widest carriage in the front, leaving Yan Hong alone to serve in the carriage. The other maids, Xiaoman, Huaer and Baizhi sat in the carriage at the back.
Jin Feiyun was escorting from behind, and the three carriages behind were loaded with luggage and Lincheng's specialties, as well as some strange dried bamboo shoots, dried vegetables, and so on.
Jin Feiyun thought, what's the point of bringing these ordinary food from the poor back to Yuecheng? No rich family would be interested in these foods.
Zeng Qian'er was packing her luggage slowly. In fact, there was nothing to pack or organize, as everything had already been packed.
Seeing her looking back frequently, everyone knew that she wanted to see whether Cheng Rui, Cheng Ziyu and Cheng Ziheng would come. If they came to keep her or see her off, maybe she would not leave, or maybe she would come back after leaving.
After waiting for only an hour, none of the people who were supposed to come showed up. Instead, Zhou Huaizhi arrived early and brought a lot of snacks for the journey as well as storybooks.
Even the disaster victims and refugees nearby who had received help came to see them off when they knew they were leaving.
----
The disaster ended because the General's Mansion, the Shangshu Mansion and Prefect Cheng generously donated money for disaster relief and played a good leading role. The victims in other cities were more scattered because they did not have the largest number of victims like Lincheng.
Therefore, it is not difficult for local officials to raise funds. They mainly ask local wealthy businessmen for donations, and the wealthy businessmen have no choice but to accept the donations. It is not clear whether the donated funds are used for their own benefit. As the emperor is far away, the wealthy businessmen can only regard it as a way to ward off disaster.
The emperor didn't have to spend any money, and his ministers solved the problem. The emperor was very pleased and naturally rewarded his ministers according to their merits as he had mentioned before.
The emperor's words were golden, so he asked the general's wife and his eldest daughter Shangguan Yue, Minister Zeng and his wife of the Ministry of Personnel, and the wife of Prefect Cheng of Lincheng to go to the palace to receive the reward after returning to Yuecheng.
As soon as Shangguan Yue and his companions returned to Yuecheng, they received an oral order from the emperor to go to the palace tomorrow to receive their reward. Everyone else was very happy because it might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the emperor.
Shangguan Yue was thinking, was the emperor summoning her in the palace or in the imperial study? If it was in the imperial study, then she would have a chance to see if Zi Yanling was really in the imperial study.
Chen Bianbian was happy that she finally had the chance to meet the emperor who was still alive but had passed away. How magical was that, wasn't it?
Chen Bianbian was so excited that she couldn't sleep well all night. She could finally go to the palace. She had never seen what the palace of South Vietnam looked like.
Shangguan Yue was not as excited as Chen Bianbian. If what she saw in her dream was true, then the palace was indeed grand and luxurious, but her main desire was to see whether the Purple Flame Feather was really in the imperial study.
Last night she told Xiaobai and Xiaolan that they had searched almost the entire South Vietnam, but there had been no news for many years, because the palace was so heavily guarded that not only could no one get close to it, but even birds could not fly in.
Therefore, they never came to the palace to look for it, nor did they believe that the purple flame feathers, which were not very eye-catching, would be hidden by the royal family. After all, when it comes to beautiful feathers, the peacock's are more dazzling.
Now it is said that Zi Yanling is very likely in the palace. The five little birds are very excited. They come to wake up Shangguan Yue early in the morning, fearing that she will oversleep and miss the time.
Compared with Chen Bianbian's happiness, Shangguan Yue was a little uneasy, always feeling that something would happen on this trip to the palace.
