Chapter 978 A Scholarly Family, Noble for Half a Lifetime

Yun Dai said: "Gu Hongmiao, you have always looked down upon merchants, and now the entire Gu family is going to be a household of merchants. I want to ask you, how do you feel?"

Gu Hongmiao was kneeling on the ground, his head hanging down, looking like he wanted to cry but couldn't.

"Why? Why on earth is this?" He murmured to himself, "What has become of the Gu family? They are in such a state of desolation that they can hardly feed themselves. Why is the Queen still unwilling to let go of the grassroots family? Does it mean that the Queen really doesn't have any sense of father and daughter in her heart? Love?"

Yun Dai bent down and looked directly at him: "Gu Hongmiao, when you wanted to sink your own daughter into the pool and throw your grandson to death, why didn't you care about the relationship between father and daughter? In your eyes, your daughter is just a child. Something that can drown you at will?"

Gu Hongmiao's eyes flashed and his expression became painful.

"I...how could I be willing to let my daughter die? It's just that at that time, those kinds of things that were immoral and degrading to the family tradition, if we weren't severely punished...sigh." He sighed painfully, "In the end, ordinary people are not serious. Take action."

"Haha." Yun Dai sneered, "If the emperor hadn't passed by and saved Yan'er and I, we would have turned into bones by now. You are so cruel and heartless, and you still expect me to care about the relationship between father and daughter? How ridiculous!"

"If the common people are really cruel, and you and your children stay at Pan's house, I will have more opportunities to do something. How can you live in peace?"

"Really, when I was preparing to do business, who sent people to obstruct and threaten Aunt Pan's family? Sister Yunwu sold lanterns on the street to make a living, and who sent people to destroy and evict her several times?" Yun Dai sneered, "You think being a merchant is a lowly thing, well, from now on, your Gu family will be a household of merchants who don't wait for elegance!"

Gu Hongmiao couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

He covered his face and cried.

A scholarly family, noble for half a lifetime.

This is his pride.

Now all is gone.

The family has been completely ruined by his hands, and now it has changed from a farming family to a merchant family.

This blow was a hundred times heavier than the blows Ye and Gu Yunxiang gave him.

He was so beaten that he could hardly get up, and he was completely discouraged.

Yun Dai was not interested in seeing him like this. After reading the imperial edict, she turned around and came out.

She saw Mrs. Tian holding the child, thought for a while, walked over and looked at the child.

The child Yu An is quite cute, but unfortunately his legs are disabled and he looks thin and small.

Tian asked timidly: "Queen, will my husband only be able to do business in the future?"

"Yes." Yun Dai said, "Do you think doing business is not as good as being a teacher?"

"No, civilian women don't think so." Tian said, "Being a teacher only costs three to five taels of silver a month. It is difficult to support a family. If you are doing business..."

She paused and asked in a low voice: "A commoner woman would like to ask the Queen, I wonder if the emperor asked my husband to do some business and make money?"

Yun Dai smiled and said: "He will soon know what kind of business you are doing. Although I can't guarantee that you will live a rich life, at least you will have enough food and clothing."

Mrs. Tian's eyes lit up, and she immediately knelt down with the child in her arms: "Thank you, Queen Mother, thank you Queen Mother."

Yun Dai raised her eyebrows: "Your husband was originally a scholar, but now he wants to be a businessman, and his identity has changed. Are you thanking me instead?"
