Chapter 200: Feed
Although I didn't find out about the Moon Pavilion when I went out today, I also had an unexpected gain, at least I knew the recent situation of the salt farm. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info She asked the guards to give the two of them some money and sent them away, and then a few people came out of the salt pan and walked all the way back.
I didn't eat anything for a day, and when I was on the road, I felt hungry, and I happened to see a noodle stall, and a few people got off the horse and ordered a few bowls of noodles, cut two plates of beef, and asked for two jars of wine.
A few people were hungry, so they sat down and devoured it, and when they finished eating, when it was time to settle the bill, several people looked at Guo Wenying.
Guo Wenying was also looking at them, pretending not to understand.
Pi Xiaosan couldn't help but say: "Boss, let's go out with you, and we have to settle the bill for a noodle meal?"
Guo Wenying felt quite uncomfortable, she wanted to settle the bill, didn't she have no money in her pocket. She smiled humbly, "Next time, next time, invite the brothers to drink." ”
Pi Xiaosan got the money, but he was still reluctant, muttering in his mouth. This made Guo Wenying feel very faceless, and said in her heart that she would definitely talk to Feng Jingting next time and return her money, she was a court official, penniless, and this official was too wretched.
Back in Xingyuan, Feng Jingting was waiting for her, his face looked quite bad, he was unhappy that he didn't report the matter of going out in person.
Guo Wenying told her about going to the salt farm, and said something about her suspicions about Nanling Gong. just didn't say anything about going to the big ticket number, Fang Yuntang gave her salt.
She was also very unhappy about his domineering attitude, it was clear that Fang Yuntang was her fiancé, but in front of him, it was as if she was cheating with someone. Sometimes she wonders, how long can she put up with him?
Feng Jingting pondered: "Do you mean that this rebellion in Fujian is likely to be manipulated by Nanling Gong behind the scenes?"
"Although not necessarily, but it is not far away, the prince thinks about it, if the Japanese bandits and the mountain bandits have nothing to do with him, why does he not send troops to exterminate them? His men and horses are much stronger than the southeast army, how can he not deal with the mountain bandits and the Japanese bandits? So it is very likely that this Nanling Gong and the mountain bandits and the Japanese bandits colluded with each other, and the mountain bandits who attacked us last time are the evidence, I am afraid that those people are raised by him, and they usually rob and assassinate, and sometimes they are also used to help him collect money. Otherwise, he is a grandfather, and he doesn't have much from the court, so how can he support so many private soldiers?"
Feng Jingting secretly groaned, the number of soldiers reported by Jiang Taiping to the imperial court was only 30,000, and the annual salary was also 30,000, but everyone knew that he was by no means the only soldier in his hands. How are these soldiers raised? There are really a lot of twists and turns.
He pondered: "It's not unreasonable for you to say this, if I am Nanling Gong, I will inevitably manipulate the bandits to rob the people on the one hand, and pretend to suppress the bandits to gain a good reputation on the other hand." Jiang Taiping has been able to sit in Fujian for many years, and has accumulated a large number of people who work for him, so it is absolutely impossible for him to be out of line. However, this will be released in advance, and everything will be discussed after Mr. Lu and the Northwest Army have changed their guards. ”
Guo Wenying nodded, there were no soldiers in his hands, and sure enough, his waist was not hard.
She also said that she could collect some salt from the salt factory and sell salt, and the money earned from selling salt could solve the current problem of shortage of military spending.
Feng Jingting listened, couldn't help hugging her, took a sip on her face, and praised: "Ye is so delicate, you are really the top of your heart, and even thought of this for your master." ”
Guo Wenying said in her heart, this is not what I think, it is what Guo Ye's fiancé thinks, but unfortunately I can't tell you this vinegar jar.
Feng Jingting was in a good mood at this time, and he didn't pursue her going out without permission, but only asked her if she was tired after going for two days, how good she was, and held her face, saying that she hadn't seen her for two days, and she seemed to have lost weight.
Guo Wenying endured it, but finally couldn't hold back, slapped his hand away, and said angrily: "What about Guo Ye's money? Give me back the money, I can't even pay for a meal when I go out to eat, and I have to let my subordinates treat me, it's really embarrassing to die." ”
Feng Jingting laughed when he heard this, "Silly Jiaojiao, you are so stupid and cute, won't you ask the steward for money if you want to go out?" The middle feeds in the house are all in your hands, didn't I ask the steward to give you a bunch of keys a few days ago? That's the key in the master's library, you can't take it yourself for how much money you want?
Guo Wenying said "ah", he did ask someone to give her a bunch of keys a few days ago, but she really didn't take it seriously, and it wasn't her own money, so she spent it as if she owed him, so she threw the keys aside.
I didn't expect it to be his private treasury...... Key?
What did he put in his private vault? She pondered, and for a moment of curiosity, she finally asked someone to open the treasury to take a look.
The prince's treasury, there are really a lot of good things, even if he always boasts that he is the poorest prince in Southern Qi, but no matter how poor he is, he is still the prince. As soon as he opened it, he almost blinded Guo Wenying's eyes, and there were a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and antique utensils inside, some of which were sent by officials, some were shipped from the Kyoto Palace, and there were many silver ingots and silver tickets, all of which were in boxes.
She took some silver money on her, probably the ones he took from her, as if he had returned the money, and as for the rest, she didn't want to take care of it, and she didn't bother to take care of it for him.
The key, there is a chance to return him another day.

A few days later, Lu Qifang finally arrived in Ningde, accompanied by Yunmo, who was specially transferred by the prince to serve Guo Wenying.
Lu Qifang's arrival made Xingyuan very lively for two days, Feng Jingting held a banquet in the mansion to entertain everyone, Lu Huaidong and Lu Weixin both came back from the barracks, and Mai Yunteng also invited over, plus Guo Wenying, several people sat at a table, eating and drinking together.
I haven't seen each other for a few months, and several people have endless words, but some things are inconvenient to talk about at the dinner table, and Feng Jingting didn't communicate much with Mr. Lu, and only asked about the situation in the Jingli Palace.
Lu Qifang first talked about him left and right, and then he was forced to ask him, and only then did he say that Concubine Shuniang was in charge of letting him marry the daughter of Uncle Xu Ding's family as a side concubine, and now people have welcomed him into the mansion.
Feng Jingting's face sank, and he shouted: "Nonsense, this king is not in Beijing, how can he get married?"
Lu Qifang smiled and didn't dare to reply, he knew that the prince knew that he was definitely unhappy.
He didn't want to feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't hide this kind of thing. Hearing the prince ask again, he had no choice but to say: "It was the idea of the lady concubine, saying that she would let the Sixth Highness welcome the relatives of the prince, and also said that she would send people to Ningde in a few days, so that she could have a relationship with the prince...... Yuan ......" he said and glanced at Guo Wenying, but finally didn't say the word 'room'.
Guo Wenying is nothing, but Feng Jingting was so angry that his face turned blue, and he even scolded a few words of "nonsense", and shouted that whoever dared to send someone would cut off his head.
Originally, Mr. Lu was very happy to come, but because of this incident, Feng Jingting turned his face, and then everyone was in no mood to get together again, so they drank a few drinks casually and left in a hurry.
