Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 156 Cong Shoubei

However, just because no one cares about this place and no one comes here, she is still the top leader of Shicheng.

There are many merchants in Shicheng now, and the wisdom of the common people should not be underestimated.

These common people, regardless of gender, will go out to do business as long as they have some skills, and the rest will just farm.

Moreover, Gu Yao also knew that food is the foundation of the people, and farming is the most important thing for the people.

Therefore, she collected very little tax from the fields and no harsh taxes, which was also to allow the people of Shicheng to recuperate.

Fortunately, the ancients mainly relied on fields, and land was their foundation.

After all, they need to have enough food to eat, so even though the common people go out to do business, they still farm the land.

Moreover, the ordinary people in the city who do business will buy land as long as they have money.

Therefore, the tax revenue of their government office is still considerable, which is why she is evaluated for excellence every year.

That day, Gu Yao received a call from Cong Shoubei, asking her to go to a restaurant in Shicheng for a drink.

She was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Shoubei Cong would come to see her. Generally speaking, she rarely interacted with civil and military officials.

However, Shicheng is quite remote and there are usually some bandits there, so she and Cong Shoubei are familiar with each other.

She has no prejudice against military officers. After all, without them, they would not be able to serve as officials safely.

Just because Gu Yao didn't look down on them, Shoubei Cong was quite nice to Gu Yao, and sometimes the two of them would work together very well.

Some bandits in Shicheng were killed by the two of them, and they divided the bandits' belongings in half, which also allowed Gu Yao to make a small fortune several times.

"Sister Cong, long time no see. We were really impressed when we heard that you went to the border."

Cong Shoubei is a nice person. Gu Yao likes to greet her.

What's more, although she is a military officer, she is very cultured and sometimes I can get some inspiration from her words.

Their Shicheng is so peaceful now because of her, so Gu Yao admires her very much.

Cong Shoubei stood up and said with a smile: "Ayao, long time no see. I just came back this time, so I thought we two would get together. After all, we both have to stay in Shicheng, so we should help each other.

Cong Shoubei's family is from the capital, but she doesn't like them very much.

After all, she is the daughter of the Cong family's servant, and she is able to get all this because of her own reasons.

After her mother died, her family separated, and she moved out with her father. There were only three husbands in her family, and no maids.

Although she has few children, she is already very satisfied.

The children in their family are very harmonious, and there is rarely any conflict at home, so she is living a good life now.

The reason she met Gu Yao this time was also because she wanted to marry into Gu Yao's family.

She heard that the eldest son of the Gu family had reached the age of marriage, and wondered if their Cong family could marry a man from the Gu family.

Cong Shoubei picked up a glass of wine and handed it over, saying with a smile: "Ayao, we two are old acquaintances. I know your family's situation over the years, and you know my family's situation. In fact, I came here today hoping that our two families can become old friends. You know my second daughter. Although she is not stable enough, she is still a good person. I wonder if Ayao has any ideas."

Cong Shoubei's words were quite serious and sincere, and her family still had some assets.

What's more, although her three husbands were not from wealthy families, at least their dowries were quite generous.

Even her doctor Lang was the illegitimate son of a sixth-rank official in the capital, so she had some connections in the capital, but not many.

She became a garrison commander over the years because she worked hard. Although she was assigned to Shicheng because of her family background, at least she was satisfied.

He was living a pretty good life, and Gu Yao had even been very filial to him since she came here.

After all, she is a military attaché, and the defense here depends on her.

So their family is okay, and she especially wants her daughter to marry Gu Yao's son.

Her children also knew that they had received a good education. If they could marry Gu Ning, their family would have another connection with the civil servants.

Gu Yao was a little surprised after hearing this. She didn't expect that Cong Shoubei would actually want to ask for Aning on behalf of her daughter.

Although her family was indeed looking for a husband for Aning, they had never thought of Cong Shoubei before.

What's more, the Cong family still has connections in the capital. It can be said that they cannot compare with the Gu family in terms of family background, but compared with others, they are still a good match.

Gu Yao smiled and said, "Sister Cong likes my Aning, which is a good thing for my family. However, this matter still needs to be discussed with her fathers. After all, Aning is also under the guidance of my doctor Lang, and her biological father is in poor health so he is being taken care of on the farm. I hope Sister Cong can understand."

Cong Shoubei said with a smile: "I understand this. After all, I watched Aning grow up. Moreover, your Aning is so outstanding. My doctor Lang has been thinking about her for a long time, but he was just too embarrassed to come. So I wanted to talk to you."

At this time, she added: "In a few days, my husband will hold a flower viewing banquet. If you have time, bring your husbands over to play and have some snacks. One of my chefs is from Beijing. You have been away from Beijing for many years. This time, you can try some new dishes from Beijing."

Gu Yao was naturally willing, after all, she was happy that Cong Shoubei wanted to marry into their family. "

I had seen him before for Gu Ning, but I didn’t expect Cong Shoubei to have this idea. I feel like we are quite destined to be together.

She was familiar with the Cong family, which also had some assets. Even the second daughter in the family was a good girl and was also studying. Although she didn't know if she could pass the exam, at least Shoubei Cong had plans for her.

Even if he can only pass the imperial examination, it's fine. A juren can also become an official. With her around, will she not let her son live a miserable life in the future?

Gu Yao and Cong Shoubei were both very satisfied, they drank together and even listened to the little songs in the restaurant, they felt that their life was a good life.

Gu Yao was a little tipsy when she returned, after all, she couldn't drink very well.

But fortunately, the alcohol content of wine in ancient times was not high, and their wine was also pretty good, so you won’t get drunk after drinking it, just a little dizzy.

Tonight, I came to Lin Wulang's room, drank some sobering tea, and watched him embroidering under the light. I said, "Alu, I found a good in-law for Aning. What do you think?"

Lin Wulang was surprised when he heard this. He put down his embroidery, came to her side, touched her forehead and said, "Wife, you are still drunk, why are you talking in your sleep? I am still looking for Aning, but I am not satisfied with any of them. What kind of in-laws do you want to find for him?"
