Tian's foundation is a little poor, which makes her very embarrassed, but she persists.

Shen Rouning taught from shallow to deep, comforting her not to be anxious, let alone tired. She had nothing to do, and she didn't have much to say to communicate with Mrs. Shen Si, so after thinking about it, she simply asked Shen Si and Mrs. Shen Si, and took some account books to look at.

Mrs. Shen's body has been seven months, and the rest of the days will only become more and more difficult. Shen Rouning helped the housekeeper director, and it didn't take much effort.

As for the long term, he heard that Shen Rouning would not leave for the time being, and actually returned to Beijing. Before leaving, he bought a pair of bracelets and gave them to Chao Yan in front of Shen Rouning, and Chao Yan accepted them with a blushing face. Chang Chang was very happy, and said that after returning to Beijing, he would find a matchmaker to go to Liu's house to propose marriage......

The days passed slowly in this ordinary tranquility.

In the early summer of Qinglong's eighth year, Mrs. Shen Si successfully gave birth to a white, tender and lovely girl named Shen Rouhuan. Master Shen Si couldn't close his mouth happily, but he always paid attention to Mrs. Shen Si's body, and Shen Duanrong was very happy, and he didn't know how many times a day he had to see his sister.

Mrs. Shen Si is also in a good mood, and often smiles and hugs the baby, with soft eyebrows and full of love. Once, Shen Rouning even heard Mrs. Shen Si humming a song to lull the baby to sleep.

The sky was fine that day, there were a few white clouds in the clear blue sky, and the acacia flowers were hanging in bunches all over the branches, and the city was full of fragrant fragrance. There were pigeons pacing leisurely on the roof, and the pomegranates in the yard were red like fire.

Shen Rou stood quietly under the porch and looked at Mrs. Shen Si who was humming softly in the room. She was holding the letter that Mama Fan had brought back from Beijing.

By her side, Mama Fan shed tears.

Mama Fan was sent back to report the good news before. I came back today with a big cart of stuff. She was in a hurry, and she was in a hurry to talk to Mrs. Shen Si just now, but at this moment, like Shen Rouning, she held her footsteps, and couldn't bear to disturb the mother and daughter in the house.

Approximately, in Mrs. Shen's heart, this is her first child...... Shen Rouning stood there, thinking to herself, I wonder if Mrs. Shen Si will have many more children in the future......

Little babies grow fast.

In the blink of an eye, the moon was full, and the eyebrows and eyes were opened. It looks more and more pink. It's beautiful. Her beauty is not exactly like Mrs. Shen Si, but combines the advantages of Mr. Shen Si and Mrs. Shen Si, especially a pair of big eyes that are like washed black glass beads. I don't know how likable it is.

Simply finished the full moon ceremony. Mrs. Shen's complexion also recovered. Shen Rouning finally began her travels. Since the end of July of the eighth year of Qinglong, she has adjusted fat powder to cover her ear piercings and dressed up as a merchant teenager. Protected by a few people, starting from Yueyang, first all the way to the west, along the surging river all the way to the west, into Shudi, climbing the plateau, and then south, into Yunnan......

The sun is hot and hot.

Shen Rouning stood at the bow of the boat, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, short clothes and trousers, at first glance she looked like a boat boy, if she was not facing the drawing board, but holding a fishing rod.

"Master, listen to the boatman, after half a day's walk, you will be there!" Bi Dong walked out, and when he saw that the painting on Shen Rou's board was almost finished, he complained: "It's really hot here!" It's still the first month of the year, not to mention the cold snow, the hot is just like summer! ”

She held a folding fan, opened it to block it above her head, and squinted at the sky.

The sun is hot.

The surrounding plants are dark green and lush, and it seems that all the leaves are wide and intimidating.

The sun evaporated the water vapor from the jungle, and it was stuffy, wet, and uncomfortable. The lush vegetation on both sides of the river stretched out to the water, and from time to time it was necessary to send a small boat down to cut down the branches and weeds in order for the big boat to pass.

At the end of the first month of the eighth year of Qinglong, Shen Rouning took the transport ship of the Nanyang Trading House to see the manor they had built here. If possible, she would like to go to the royal capital of this small country. Of course, safety comes first, and if the opportunity is not good, she will not take any chances.

All of them got a lot of tans.

Shen Rouning is good, and her skin has become a healthy wheat color, just like Chen Yulan's complexion, which makes her look more like a teenager. And Hongying and Bidong are particularly dark, especially Hongying, she is not as good as Bidong Aimei and pays attention to skin maintenance...... She simply learned from Shen Rouning to change into men's clothes, and she couldn't tell that it was a girl's family at all.

"If you hadn't been here, would you have believed that there really would be a place in the world where the summer would end all day?" Shen Rouning put away the drawing board and stood on the bow of the boat to move slightly, but she had already begun to sweat lightly.

"I've heard that in March and April, it's even hotter here." Bi Dong stuck out his tongue and said, "How can the people here stand it!" Not even ice! ”

"Have you seen it?" Shen Rouning smiled slightly, shook her head, and said, "Don't worry, we won't stay until then." After the merchant house loaded the grain and spices, we returned to Daqing with the ship. ”

The master and servant returned to the cabin, Shen Rouning wrung cold water and wiped her sweat, sat down, picked up a fan and slowly fanned the wind. Bi Dong took out the bowl, and the red tassel carried out a fluffy coconut fruit, shook it vigorously, and then dug a hole in the top with a dagger, and poured out a sweet and faint milky white juice. A coconut fruit poured a full bowl for Shen Rouning, and there was more than half a bowl of red tassel and Bidong.

Chao Yan didn't come out.

She was married to Chang Chang, and Shen Rouning let her go back to her home in the capital with Mama Fan very early to get married. The province is very tired, and when it comes to getting married, it is too late for anything.

A bowl of coconut water is full of mouthful, and the heart is cool.

Bi Dong was still unsatisfied, and said: "I heard that this fruit can be put for a while, and I don't know how long it can be put away, and after returning to Daqing, can I still drink it." It's much more relieving than an ice bowl! ”

"This is a fruit that was only discovered by the trading house, and I heard that a lot of it was directly transported to the capital, and Yueyang is afraid that it will be difficult to buy it." Shen Rouning replied.

"That's a shame." Bidong shook his head.

A few people were talking, and Hongying went out for a while and came in again, and said to Shen Rouning: "Master." Here we are. There's the Red Pier ahead. ”

After the Red Wharf, a few miles away, there is the Red City.

What the Red City didn't have originally, at least not like it is now, is mathematically round, and the building is majestic and solid-

The Nanyang Trading Company bought land here and built a manor, which led many powerful families and merchants to follow suit, and bought large and small wasteland from the local government in the vicinity, and within two years, tens of thousands of tenant farmers had gathered here.

Of course, Nanyang Commercial Bank will not give up earning the money of the local magnates. Optimistic about a piece of land. A city was built for their own transactions, and now the restaurant, inn, casino, and green building are very prosperous.

That's it. I don't know how much benefit it will bring to Nanyang Commercial Bank!

Shen Rouning stood at the gate of the city. Some emotion.

She looked at Ji Tong who came out. asked curiously: "If you build a few more towns like this, I'm afraid that this place really belongs to Daqing...... Will they be able to rest assured? "The idea of building a city was proposed by Ji Tong.

Ji Tong smiled proudly. "When I said I wanted to build a city, I stuffed a lot of pearls and gold for the prince here before I got the permission. Now that it has been built, it is used for commercial transactions, and they are slowly getting used to it. In short, there is nothing that cannot be done with the dots in place. ”

"But if you want to build a new city in the future, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Shen Rouning nodded.

The authorities will be stupid, but not everyone in this country is brainless. Build a few more such strongholds, and it will be easy for Daqing to take this small country again!

"Ji Shao is amazing." Shen Rouning said admiringly.

"That's it." A person who accompanied the steward said with a smile: "The princesses here all want Ji Gongzi to be a concubine!" ”

"Oh?" Shen Rouning became curious.

Ji Tong's face was a little red, and he said, "It's just a princess of a small country." ”

He didn't want to say more, but the shopkeeper saw that Shen Rouning was interested, so he said it. This is the person in charge of the Ying Palace, surnamed Meng, and the chief steward of Meng. He knew that Shen Rouning had a good relationship with the lord of Mingjia, and he also knew that she still had the shares of Nanyang Commercial Bank in her hand, so he was very polite.

It turned out that Ji Tong went to the country several times to socialize, and the little princess here admired Daqing culture, and saw that Ji Tong was talented and personable, and at a young age, he was very capable. This little princess is very favored here, and she is also very beautiful, and Ji Tong is not too ruthless to refuse......

The princess of a country, but in the eyes of the chief steward of Meng, it is just a wind (just a rhyme affair. Even Ji Tong himself probably didn't think about really marrying her. This made Shen Rouning not know what to say.

This was originally Annam, and the national strength was not weak. But there was civil strife, and a small country was divided into four small countries, some of which were kings, and some were simply generals, fighting each other, and no one was subordinated to anyone. It is precisely because of this that it will be so easy for people to buy land and build a city in Daqing. Otherwise, a unified Annan is afraid that Daqing will not take advantage of it too much, even if their land is barren.

The small country is too small, and the place managed by a prefect in Daqing is bigger than their country, how can the people of Daqing look down on such a force? So much so that Ji Tong and the others simply didn't even want to introduce their names to Shen Rouning.

Just when Shen Rouning walked into the Red City, a major event happened in the capital of Daqing!

Now it is the ninth year of Qinglong, and Daqing is still fighting with Dajin, taking several cities again, and pushing the border north for a full 200 miles. And the capital of Daqing is still singing and dancing, and thousands of students are gathered, and it is prosperous.

And in the autumn of last year, Chen Houyun ended up in a low-key manner, and the top name in high school was Xie Yuan, and he was famous in Beijing! The chief examiner made public Chen Houyun's policy answer sheet, and unanimously praised: "With this paper, it is enough to be the champion!" ”

In other words, Chen Houyun's answer level in the Autumn Ceremony is comparable to the first place in the Spring Meeting! It is undeniably the best talent! Even several Confucians suggested that Emperor Qinglong should simply recruit Chen Houyun as the champion, and he would be able to serve Daqing in advance; Second, also give other people a chance, don't let Chen Houyun cover everyone's light alone!

Such praise is unprecedented.

On the day of the release of the autumn list, Concubine Liao met the queen and talked privately for a long time.

"Auntie, everyone says that Chen Houyun has the talent of the champion...... The emperor also attaches great importance to him...... "Concubine Liao bit her lip. If the queen was willing to help her and insisted that she marry Chen Houyun, wouldn't she be the wife of the champion that everyone envied now! And the marriage of the two families will definitely give the eldest prince more help!

Hearing Chen Houyun's dazzling, Concubine Liao's heart, which had been silent for a long time, was once again a little unwilling.

Emperor Qinglong didn't pamper her much. As the show girls finished learning the rules one by one and began to serve and be sealed, she didn't see Emperor Qinglong much. Counting, she is just a little higher than the titles obtained by this batch of young girls. But nearly a year later, there are two concubines of the fourth grade, not counting her.

And her lofty ambitions seem so far away.

She wanted the queen to be ill at that time, but her little hands and feet that she didn't want to move were soon discovered, and the queen got better, opened the door of Kunning Palace, and sat in the sixth palace again. Fortunately, the queen mother was suspicious of other people and did not suspect her.

On such a day, it is difficult for Liao Concubine to be reconciled.

The corners of the queen's lips lifted slightly, revealing some mockery, and said: "Isn't Concubine Liao so deep in love with the emperor that she can't help herself, so much so that she shamelessly stripped off her clothes and climbed onto the dragon bed?" Why are you thinking about other men now? ”

She looked at Concubine Liao and said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that this palace will tell the emperor?" ”

Concubine Liao's heart sank, and she hurriedly said: "Auntie, I am, I am...... I just feel that the Liao family has lost a lot! Of course I am sincere to the emperor! "If Emperor Qinglong knew that she was still thinking about Chen Houyun in her heart, she would be finished!

The queen snorted coldly and said, "You are sincere or not, this palace does not want to judge." ”
