Chapter 270 Arrangement
My uncle made this arrangement firstly to train my eldest cousin and secondly to expand the Lou family's market in the north.
The Lou family, from their ancestors to my uncles and their generation, have basically grown up in hardships. They have suffered for survival, so they always have more vision and foresight than ordinary people.
But since the next generation, the Lou family's business has expanded, and the children have no worries about food and clothing. Although they are children of merchants, they are not lacking in poetry, books, rituals and music.
It can be said that apart from their merchant backgrounds, they are no different from other children from aristocratic families, and some are even better than those people.
But these are far from enough. One's background alone can restrict a person.
Emperor Yuanheng ordered that merchants were not allowed to read, wear silk and satin, be extravagant, or enjoy all the preferential treatments enjoyed by the gentry.
If the Lou family wants to move up a level, they must climb up the Internet and rely on their own abilities to enter the class of the gentry.
But would those people let the Lou family go?
This resulted in the Lou family finding it increasingly difficult to make progress.
They were happy to see Lou Jing marry a commoner's daughter.
The dandy boy hooked up with Lou Fan and spent his days in debauchery, which was also part of the plan of those nobles.
And Lou Shan is naturally dull, so he is not a concern.
All the descendants of the Lou family are included in their plans. If the Lou family wants to climb up, it will be as easy as ascending to heaven.
"Since Mr. Gao has returned home, why don't you come in and take a look before leaving?"
Gao Mu stopped and looked at the man in black who had appeared behind him and said, "Is this the lady's courtesy as a guest?"
He was surrounded by dozens of men in black. Although they had not fought yet, he could see that these were all top-notch experts. Now that he was alone, it would be difficult for him to escape from such a situation.
They lured him out of the city and set up this siege and killing situation. They really put a lot of effort into it for him.
He had calmed down by now, staring intently at the place where the voice had just come from and said, "If that's the case, why don't you show up and see me?"
Torches were lit all around, casting a little light into the dim alley.
The gate of Gao's mansion was opened, and Yuan Qing, surrounded by many men in black, walked towards Gao Mu.
She looked down, chuckled and said, "It turns out that Mr. Gao's leg disease was fake."
Gao Mu also spoke to her in a relaxed manner: "The girl has also kept a lot from me. It's mutual."
The secret guard who had been following Gao Mu noticed something unusual when he was arguing with those people at the city gate. He was afraid that he would not have time to go back and report it, so he passed the sudden change to his brothers who were waiting nearby through special communication methods.
When Yuan Qing received the news that Gao Mu had returned, he was actually just a little faster than Gao Mu.
While instructing Mu Xiaoxiao to return to the inn and make preparations with Madam Cheng, she went to Gao's mansion to inform Gao Yi to set a trap.
Even if Gao Mu can break through the encirclement, he must be exposed today so that he can be identified later.
During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the country's population had dropped drastically due to war, so everyone from high-ranking officials to ordinary people tacitly agreed to the right of widows and divorced women to remarry. The status of women was significantly improved.
Yuan Qing had read many ancient history books, and she felt an unprecedented suffocation from the words soaked in blood and tears.
Now, she had the same feeling here again.
If you want to change, you have to do it little by little.
Fortunately, Wen Chengyu was an enlightened monarch, and his support greatly reduced the difficulty of this matter.
