Chapter VII: Shelter

Mrs. Xie looked at her granddaughter in a daze, and she didn't know how much she had heard, and she didn't know what to say for a while. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But Wang Jiqing looked at his eldest uncle, his face was calm, but his words were amazing.

"Uncle, this niece's ceremony, all the famous families in front of the family, and most of the family officials in the court have come to watch the ceremony, I am afraid that it is not only to participate in the niece's ceremony, but the niece wants to be more afraid of the new salt and iron decree issued by the imperial court."

On the first big day after Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Emperor Wen, the current son of heaven, issued an order to nationalize salt and iron, and no longer allow private sales. However, the family members in Jiangnan did not get any news in advance, and they were caught off guard. Especially in the south of the Yangtze River---- the Wang family in Jiangzhou controlled most of the iron mines in the Great Jin Dynasty, while the Jinling Xie family was based on salt, and in the face of the new decree of the imperial court, the Wang Xie family was the first to bear the brunt. It is no wonder that the families in Jiangnan want to take the opportunity to get together and discuss countermeasures.

"That's right," Master Wang didn't deny it, but just glanced at his niece, and before he knew it, his beloved little niece had grown to such a smart point.

"Uncle, our Wang Xie family is in the south of the Yangtze River, far from the capital, so it is just that they don't know in advance. But Qinghe Cui's house is at the gate of the capital, if they didn't hear the wind in advance, it would be impossible. After all, for women in this era, it is a big deal to withdraw from relatives, and many families cannot accept a woman who has withdrawn. This time and space is not like my previous life, and it is normal for love to break up.

"Besides, although my Great Jin Dynasty has been holding the imperial examination for more than 200 years, as far as I know, no one from the real family has passed the imperial examination, except for one exception."

"Hmph, what a sixteen-year-old boy Zhuangyuanlang," Master Wang didn't understand when he heard this, and immediately looked at Mrs. Xie.

"In this way, three years ago, the Cui family was afraid that they colluded with the royal family." Mrs. Xie sneered, "This Cui family is really killing themselves. Since the death of Mrs. Cui, the current Cui family is really a fool. It's ridiculous that the Cui family, which is a famous family for thousands of years, doesn't have a smart person. "As everyone knows, the four great families have always been in the same spirit, sharing glory and loss, which is also the foundation of the family group's confrontation with the royal family. It is ridiculous that the Cui family is now turning their backs on the interests of the royal family and turning their backs on the interests of the family. Nowadays, the contradiction between the royal family and the family has become increasingly acute and irreconcilable. And the Cui family did this, thinking that they had caught up with the royal family, and wanted to take refuge in the royal family to save themselves, which was tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger. The Cui family, which has lost the support of other families, may soon become a stepping stone for the royal family.

"Boss, you personally take Cui Sanlang's Geng Ti to the guest house and bring us back with our gentle Geng Ti. Even if you want to withdraw from your family, it is our Wang family who takes the initiative to withdraw from your family, so what is the Cui family who took refuge in the imperial court! ”

"Yes, Mother." Master Wang took the box from Mama Zhou's hand, but did not leave. "How should my mother deal with the matter of the salt and iron order?"

Mrs. Xie didn't speak, just smiled and looked at her granddaughter.

"Uncle, things are dead before they are alive. The imperial court has taken back all the mines, but the people who can mine are from our royal family. Besides, aren't the Cao Gang and the Ma Gang, who master water and land transportation, still in our hands? ”

"Gently, if you are a man, you will be the next head of my Wang family." Master Wang laughed and pulled the second master Wang out to discuss with the staff.

Mrs. Xie sent away her two daughters-in-law, looked at her granddaughter, and became melancholy for a while.

"Gently, don't worry, the daughter of our Wang family is not worried about getting married, and grandmother will arrange to see each other, and she will definitely find a better family for you." Mrs. Xie has always been decisive, and after arranging the family's major events, she felt a little guilty in the face of her granddaughter.

"Grandmother, I know you love me." Wang Ji didn't care, "Let's talk about family affairs later, my granddaughter wants to go out for a walk." ”

"It's good to go out for a walk, and now it's good to go to the Eagle Temple outside the city to stay for a few days." Although it is a voluntary retreat, it is not a glorious thing after all, although she doesn't care about her granddaughter, she is also uncomfortable in her heart, so Mrs. Xie thought about accompanying her granddaughter to go out for a walk.

"Grandmother, my granddaughter has grown up so much, and she hasn't been out of Jiangzhou City yet." Wang Ji despised Mrs. Xie and misunderstood what she meant, thought about it, and said directly, "My granddaughter wants to go out for a trip and see the scenery of the rivers and mountains of the Great Jin." Didn't my grandfather often say that it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles? ”

"It's fine." Mrs. Xie is not an ordinary woman in the house after all, so she agreed after a deep sigh. This world is always demanding of women, even if their granddaughter has never made a wrong step, after the news of Wang Cui's two families is announced, the world will put the responsibility of retiring on the woman. At this time, it is also good to go out and avoid it, and after a few years of limelight, it is enough to take the granddaughter back to see a good family matter.

"Miss, look, the Vulture Temple is almost here."

"Miss, I heard that the vegetarian food of the Eagle Temple is the most famous."

"Miss, I heard that the great monk of the Eagle Temple is proficient in Buddhism, and many people can't ask to see it."

Young girls who have never been out of the house always yearn for the outside world, Wang Ji despised the liveliness of what the maids said, so she put down the doctor in her hand and looked at the mountain gate not far ahead.

Wang Jiqing originally planned to go to Quanzhou first, but Mrs. Xie said that she traveled rashly and was known by outsiders, and she was always bad for her reputation---- and this world always requires women in the boudoir to go out of the door. So he suggested that she might as well go to the Vulture Temple to live for a while, and said to the outside world that she would pray for her deceased parents, wait for a while, and then quietly leave the temple.

Wang Jiqing wanted to go to Quanzhou, also because his cousin Wang Zelei was in Quanzhou, responsible for the maritime trade between the Wang family and overseas countries such as Liuli and Fusang. The Wang family used iron ore, weapons and other goods to exchange for precious stones, spices and other novelties from overseas countries, and then transported back to the Great Jin Dynasty to sell, and the silver earned every year was worth a year's tax revenue of the imperial court.

"Miss, the carriage can't go up on the mountain road behind." The one who replied was ---- Yang Wei, the leader of the guards arranged by Mrs. Xie. On this trip, Wang Jiqing only planned to take Wan's mother and Qianyu, two big maids and Liu Er, and four rough maids such as Xiaoyu and Liu'er. However, Mrs. Xie thought about her granddaughter's safety, and specially arranged an elite escort team of more than 100 people.

"Miss, please get out of the car, and your subordinates will carry you up the mountain in a soft sedan car." Yang Wei saw that his young lady was looking at the mountain gate and was distracted, so he urged again.

Wang Ji was thinking about the matter in Quanzhou, but ignored it.

"No need, Brother Yang, I want to go up by myself." Wang Ji jumped off the horse, looked at the peach blossoms blooming on both sides of the mountain road, and couldn't help but chuckle.

April in the world is full of flowers,

The peach blossoms of the mountain temple are in full bloom!
