Chapter XXXVII

"Hey, you busy man, how do you have time to treat me to dinner. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" He Chengtai entered the box and joked with a smile An Ran, he was fair-skinned, tall and strong, white and fat, and looked like a white fat man.

"Why can't it be that I haven't invited you to dinner before?" An Ran slapped his hand off his shoulder, glanced at him, and said funny.

"I didn't invite you to dinner a few days ago, and you didn't respond. Isn't it a little strange to me? He Chengtai complained with some dissatisfaction, "I thought that you were a talented man who didn't look down on us." The two have known each other for many years, and their relationship is unusual, so they speak more casually.

He Chengtai's family is in Yangzhou and he came to the capital to study. Back then, An Ran went to Yangzhou, and often met He Chengtai at the banquet, he was cheerful and generous, and acted quite chivalrous. This year, He Chengtai also came to Shishan Academy to study, and the two are often together.

An Ran's eyes narrowed slightly, and then sighed slightly, "Hey, it's me who is wrong, I was not in good health a few days ago, so I pushed all the posts." It's not just that your invitation has been pushed. Enron pretended to be angry, "Why don't you trust me so much." ”

When He Chengtai heard this, yo, he people, and hurriedly arched his hand flatteringly, cautiously approached An Ran, and smiled with a smile on his face, "It's brother, no, I'm here to make amends for you." What, are you still taking medicine?

"It's great. If you don't have a good body, I'll invite you to dinner. An Ran said that his heart was very warm when he heard his concern.

As he spoke, the meal was already on the table. An Ran poured him a full glass of wine and poured himself a full one.

Only then did he say, "Today's meal is not for nothing, I really have something to look for you." After a pause, An Ran said again, "You know, I'm just a concubine in a family, and I will be separated in the future." The lord of the family has already spoken, and when my young brother becomes a relative, he will split up the family. Over the years, I have only saved less than 2,000 taels of private house, which is not enough money in the capital. In the future, there will be more places for the family to use money, is it possible to rely on the daughter-in-law to support the family? You are an expert in making money, see if you can come up with an idea. ”

Hearing this, He Chengtai turned his wine glass, thought for a while, and answered directly, "You mentioned this, I really have a profitable business, it depends on whether you dare to do it." ”

An Ran straightened up, made a gesture of listening, and said with a stern expression, "You speak first." ”

He Chengtai put a peanut in his mouth and said, "My family has a caravan going to the sea, and they have to go back and forth three or four times a year. He specializes in transporting tea, porcelain, and silk from this dynasty overseas, and then selling Western goods back, which is very profitable. However, this is a big profit and a big risk. The weather at sea is changeable, and there are often tsunamis, storm surges, and in addition to pirates, which can lead to ruins. But if you really want to do this, it's good to find someone you can trust and go to sea with our boat. ”

Enron knows how profitable sea freight is. But I don't have much money in my hand, and if there is an accident, there is really nothing. An Ran was silent for a while, raised his head, his eyes were firm, and said, "Okay, that's it." ”

"You've figured it out. I say hello to the people in the fleet, and the next time you go to sea is in two months, and you get the people and things ready. He Chengtai thought about it and reminded An Ran.

After making a decision, An Ran directly found Ya Po and bought two families, one surnamed Jiang, a couple in their thirties, one of whom was literate and could settle accounts, and the two had a son in his teens;

An Ran rented a small courtyard and arranged the people who bought it, and scraped together three thousand taels of silver. After inspecting their conduct, An Ran gave the money to Jiang Wen, a man from the Jiang family, and asked him to spend all three thousand taels of silver in exchange for a special product of the dynasty, and took Cheng Qiang and his eldest son to go to sea with the fleet of the He family's trading house. Then he arranged for the youngest son of Cheng Qiang's family to secretly collect some medicinal materials that were easier to find. The rest of the people temporarily gave Ji Shuyi and asked her to make arrangements.

In this way, Enron only waited for the caravan to return safely.

After that, An Ran returned to the previous days of studying, practicing, and refining.

In the same year, in the twelfth year of Wenjing of the Daqing Dynasty, Emperor Wenjing at the 40th birthday banquet, Dafeng was the prince who had reached the age of 15 and had already begun to work.

In addition to the eldest prince who was named a prince in the early years, the second prince is the crown prince, and the third prince is Prince Jing, this time five princes were crowned as princes. Among them, the fourth prince is Prince Yu, the fifth prince is Prince Rui, the seventh prince is Prince Gong, the eighth prince is Prince Su, the ninth prince is Prince Zhao, and only six princes died young. and gave marriage to the seventh, eighth, and ninth princes.

For a time, the situation in the capital changed.

You must know that there are thirteen princes in the saint today, and there are two concubines among them. One is Chu Mingde, the crown prince of the former queen, who is the eldest daughter of the general of the Northwest. The other is Chu Chengzhe, the ninth prince who succeeded him, and then came from the Chengenhou Mansion.

As we all know, the crown prince Chu Mingde is not loved by Emperor Wen Jing, and the prince's ability is mediocre, he is jealous, and he can also win the name of "Lixian Corporal" in his early years, but now he is short-tempered, and it is not the past. And although the mother family is a general's mansion, the military power in her hands has long been handed over, and the crown princess is only the daughter of a four-rank civil official, so she can't exert any strength for the battle for the throne.

On the contrary, the Nine Emperors are handsome, smart and studious, and versatile, and have successors to deal with him, and he is very popular with Emperor Wenjing, and many ministers in the court support him.

There is also Chu Zhengxin, the fourth prince who was named Prince Yu, with a cold personality, a very deep city, and a princess who can make money and talent, so that he has the support of many literati, as well as the support of his wife Wu'an Houfu, and his biological mother is Li Guifei, who was born in a big family, so he has the support of the family.

Another prince Chu Qixuan occupies the name of the eldest son and is eyeing the throne. The three princes are gentle and elegant, outstanding in literature, and very respectful of the literati, and the foreign family is the Suzhou Wen family, a family in the south of the Yangtze River, which is a scholarly heirloom.

Since Emperor Wenjing's birthday banquet was crowned queen, the battle for the throne has begun to emerge. Each prince showed his magic and won over the courtiers, and now the capital is a land of right and wrong.

In the past six months, the turmoil in the capital has nothing to do with Enron. An Ran put more of his mind into cultivating physical arts, in order to speed up his cultivation. Enron thought of a lot of ways.

That is, through various extreme cultivations, leaving them to die and then reborn, reaching the maximum strength that the body can bear, and developing the potential of the body.

Among them is the squatting horse step. Horse steps can open the muscles and bones, strengthen the legs, and adjust the breathing. At the beginning, I practiced squatting and horse walking, and I only lasted for a quarter of an hour at most each time, and I felt that my legs were sore, I had difficulty breathing, my body could not maintain balance, and my body was shaking.

A month later, An Ran clearly felt the strength of his legs, and his breathing slowly became deeper and longer, and at this time he could hold on to the squatting step for half an hour. Every time there is a fire burning in the legs, burning the bone marrow, and it is impossible to hold on, An Ran will stop. At this time, the body has reached its limit, and if you practice the running exercises and practice the physical arts, the effect will be better.
