Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Chapter 191 Yu Ziqing and the others are here

This is exactly the effect Lan Qiyan wanted. Either remove Yu Zian from his official position and let him return from the Northern Frontier, or they would become ordinary citizens, which would make it easier for them to cause trouble.

Otherwise, she could continue to turn the capital city upside down, gather all their money, and then use it for people's livelihood.

It has been almost a year since Lan Qiyan came to the capital, and he has truly discovered that for those poor people, giving them silver directly will only harm them.

It would be better to use the money for practical purposes, such as opening a pharmacy, charging an appropriate amount of consultation fee for people with poor financial conditions, and providing free treatment to those who are really in need.

A welfare home was opened to adopt children who had no parents or relatives, and to provide them with a unified education by hiring teachers. In addition, teachers were hired for boys and embroiderers were hired for girls.

In addition, there are various craftsmen working as teachers in the welfare home. Lan Qiyan’s purpose is very clear.

The purpose is to let them master a skill so that they can support themselves in the future.

Yuze looked at Lan Qiyan with a smile, "Mom, have you thought about it?"

"Okay, what's up?"

"Mother, the sweeper of Happy House earns three hundred taels of silver a month after deducting costs and personnel expenses. Tell me, how can you realize your idea?"

Lan Qiyan jumped up from the stool, "What? Only three hundred taels? Such a good deal, only three hundred taels?"

"Mom, the drinks and snacks we use are all top-quality, the staff salaries are the highest in Beijing, the welfare benefits are the best, the charging standards are the most reasonable, and the taxes are paid on time, so..."

"Mom, all businessmen are dishonest, and all dishonest people are businessmen. You are not suitable for doing business."

"Big brother and second brother are right, mother, let us handle the business, and you take care of the other things."

"It doesn't matter. Just do it. What does your father say? How is the impeachment of my man being handled now?"

"Just deal with it coldly. When the emperor was in court, his original words were, why don't you withdraw General Yu to control his wife, and you go guard the northern border for me."

"How did the civil and military officials react?"

"Humph, everyone is keeping their tails between their legs and dares not even fart."

"Tsk, I thought I could really get him to come back, but after looking around, no one dared to go. Where's Xie Lin?"

"He was hanging around in the flowers and didn't come to court."

"This guy looked like a playboy when I first met him, but now his true nature is exposed."

"Where's Yuan Xiao?"

"I had a fight with someone a few days ago, and both of us were injured. I'm lying at home now."

"Where's Li Yan?"

"He fell in love with an actress and wanted to marry her. The Li family is in turmoil now."

"Where's Chen Feng?"

"He plays with cats and dogs all day long. I saw him going out of town to catch crickets this morning."

Lan Qiyan smiled meaningfully. The four of them were very smart. It seemed that Yu Zian was the dumbest one now.

"Don't worry, mother. Those memorials are of no use now. The customs in the capital have become much more open-minded now, and women are no longer willing to stay in the harem."

Lao Liu, do you feel that your mother has changed as well?"

"Mom, I know you were the one who enlightened her. I misunderstood her. It's good this way. Only by staying away from love affairs can you live a long life."

After hearing this, Lan Qiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It's over. Has this child's view on love been affected?

"Six, they are special cases, you don't need to think like that."

"Then mother doesn't believe in love either. Do you think we are stupid? You are just enjoying the sight. You didn't do anything to my father."

Lan Qiyan scratched his head. "I like things to happen naturally, not love at first sight. Love at first sight is all about lust. If you use lust to seduce someone, love will fade when lust fades. I don't like that."

“But most of them are love at first sight.”

"I am one of the few, not the majority. Everyone has different views on love. I hope you will make up your mind before taking action in the future and not hurt girls."

"Mom, is having many wives and concubines considered harmful?" Yu Zhen's words were like a depth bomb, which made Lan Qiyan very sober.

These children have been exposed to this kind of thinking since childhood, and they think it is normal to have many wives and concubines.

She was very serious, "Second brother, mother only wants to be with one person for the rest of her life. If he can't do that, I don't want him."

Yu Zhen's face was filled with shock, "Mom, how many people in this world can do this?"

"It doesn't matter if I can't do it. It's fine for me to live alone."

Lan Qiyan shook her head. Damn it, it’s hard to change the thoughts of ancient people. It doesn’t matter. As the saying goes, “Birds of a feather flock together.” She would slowly infiltrate the mind.

“Madam, Madam, there is a group of people outside, saying they are your eldest brother, second brother, and third brother, and they said they are from Yushi Village.”

Old Lady Yu stood up and said, "Those three are here? Yanyan, don't go. I'm going to send them away."

"Wait a minute, isn't it strange that they can find this place so accurately?"

"Brother is right. This must have been guided by someone. Otherwise, where did the money come from to travel from Yushi Village to the capital?"

"Qiuye, how many of them are there in total?"

Qiu Ye thought for a moment, "More than twenty people, big and small."

"They've all come with their families. Mom, go out and take a look. If they ask, just tell them that I'm dead. I just died last night and my body is still warm."

"Pfft, pfft, what unlucky words are you saying? I'll go check it out. You wait at home."

"Grandma, let me go with you." Yulin said.

"No, you'll affect my performance if you go. Qiuye, take me to change my clothes. The more worn out the better."

Lan Qiyan twitched his lips. Why did they all learn from her?

Outside the door, a group of people looked at the luxuriously decorated Lan Mansion with excitement.

"It seems that our rescue was not in vain. Lan Qiyan and mother really have a great opportunity. They are enjoying the delicious food and drinks here without taking us with them. Mother is too biased."

"Brother, please stop saying that. What if they don't accept us later?"

"The noble said that if we are not allowed to enter, then we will throw a tantrum. Lan Qiyan has to have some dignity."

Yu Zitian always has a bad feeling. Does Lan Qiyan have any shame? Does Lan Qiyan have any shame?

She is a shameless person in the village. Is she going to save face now?

"Wife, let's step back for a moment."

"why?"

"I just feel like something is not right."

Cheng Panpan looked suspicious, "I also feel something is wrong. Why do I feel like I'm being tricked?"

"Yes, someone wanted to deal with Lan Qiyan, and lured us here."

"Why didn't you tell us at the beginning? If you had told us, we wouldn't have followed you."

"I had no choice. Think about our situation at the time. If I hadn't come along, I might have lost my life."

"Are we safe now?" Cheng Panpan looked around and felt it was so scary. It would be more secure to live a peaceful and stable life in the village.

"In broad daylight, probably not."

After she finished speaking, the door opened and Old Lady Yu walked out wearing tattered clothes and with a numb expression.

Yu Ziqing walked over and said, "Mom, you are popular in the capital... Mom, what happened to you?"

Old Lady Yu raised her head and asked, "Who asked you to come?"
