"Mom is right, if this Lord Lou is so resolute and wants to capture me back to the Great Song Dynasty, I have nothing to do——"

She nodded yes, but carefully scrutinized,

"But Tang Fang is not a fan after all, and I think this Lord Lou, although he is all-round in civil and military affairs and has military merits, he doesn't value me so much, and he wants to lure me to the boat to capture him."

She smiled and pointed to the one hundred and three ships on the sea outside Tangfang, and she could calculate two or three thousand boats.

"There is such a ship, but he tricked me into getting on the ship and captured me to return to the court, just afraid that he would lose face - who called me just a woman?"

Mr. Li and Huang Qilang nodded at the same time, and Mother Ji finally had a smile and said:

"The eldest lady is right."

"But this thing must not be guarded against......

She smiled bitterly, feeling that she still didn't think deeply about Ji's mother, whether Lou Yun would do this is one thing, but she didn't think of this danger at all, but it was too undesirable, she shook her head and sighed,

"After my mother's words, I would never dare to go to his boat."

Fortunately, her original plan was to wait for the Chen family to come to the workshop to ask for marriage.

She groaned slightly, looking back at the sea.

The shadows of the buildings and ships in the firelight, after all, are only forty or fifty.

A total of more than 100 Great Song fleets did not all sail into the sea within five miles of Tangfang, one is because there are arrow tower guards, and it is impossible for all of them to sail in by sea, and the other is also the need to respond to each other and support each other.

Lou Yun's Fujian sea boat, the shape of the keel ridge is particularly conspicuous, five boats are lined up, and the boats seem to be connected with iron rings between the boats, so as to maintain balance in the strong wind and waves.

However, the ships of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, because of the heavy shallow sand off the mouth of the two Zhejiang roads, cannot use the ship type with the keel ridge, which is a ship type with a thick bottom and a flat waist, and such a ship of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is the most common merchant ship in Tangfang Port.

The sea ships she built in Migang were in the style of Fujian sea ships, and it really needed to transfer a group of craftsmen from Quanzhou.

There is no way to bypass Lou Yun in this matter......

And she originally thought that this matter should be able to negotiate with the Chen family and the envoy.

Her vision couldn't penetrate the dark sea outside Tang Fang, and she couldn't understand Lou Yun's intentions for the time being, and when Lou Yun returned to the room and sat by the cabin window, because the cabin window was half-hidden, she couldn't see the bright green figure like smoke in Tang Fang.

"My lord, the lower officials have arranged for the steward to go to the Tang Tomb Ji family to ask for marriage, and has also prepared a rich meeting gift of eighteen boxes, you can put the boat down at any time, go straight to the water gate of Tangfang, and ask to see that lady Ji."

Chen Hong, the head of the Chen family in Quanzhou, didn't know if he was in good spirits on happy occasions, so he changed into a new dark blue Jiupin official robe, and changed his name to be a lower official according to the false title of the Jiupin Wensan official he had already obtained.

He wore a black lacquered stooped-down official hat, but there was no official belt around his waist, but even such a nondescript wide robe with big sleeves made his full beard look much more gentle.

It's just that the face behind his beard is also full of vigilance and embarrassment.

"My lord, the lower officials think that it is better to let people enter the workshop to investigate one or two, and then I will go to see the lady Ji in person, if it is convenient for the adults, the lower officials will see it, or call her to the boat to meet her is the best policy."

Because of the big business, the Chen family not only won the false title of nine products, but even the three brothers in the family also had this official product.

Such an official position is very different from the actual official from Lou Yun's three list of jinshi, and he is not a concubine like Wang Shiqiang, and he did not climb to the top of the platform completely by his talent, but the identity of the son of the Chen family is more important.

But he is forty years old, and the sophistication of the people and worlds that he has honed between officials and businessmen for decades is enough for him to understand that he is the opponent this time

Ji is not easy to mess with.

Seeing Ji Chenhu's majesty of going to sea like Long Jiao just now, he had already guessed that this fierce man had a secret agreement with Lou Yun, otherwise he would never have escaped from Lou Yun's hands unscathed.

But looking at Ji Chenhu burning the Arrow Tower with his bare hands just now, and then thinking about whether the heroine of Tangfang was still his own sister - he really didn't think it was a good idea to go out in person to ask for his nephew in the second room.

Although Chen Wenchang was locked in his room by him, and asked him to marry this time, and he had to marry if he didn't marry, but his uncle went to Tangfang to ask for his relatives by himself, and the possibility of going and not returning is not small.

Who told him to have been conspiring with Lou Yun for the past two or three years, how to drive down the position of the owner of Tangfang, the lady of Ji, so that the cottage goods are gone, the Siming Wang clan has no alliance, and the twelve rivers are controlled by Fujian maritime merchants, and it is logical.

Who told that the big lady who wanted to get rid of the control of the Siming Wang clan and needed to rely on the power of their Fujian maritime merchants?

Where in the world is there rice to eat for free?

However, he didn't understand that the lively courtship for most of the past half a year was just an excuse to test each other, and who knew what the real calculation of Mrs. Ji was?

If she turned her face, she would never regard her Chen Hong as the uncle of her future husband, so she would let him go.

Lou Yun Zhengan sat in the public hall cabin.

Outside the half-hidden window, he could only see the firelight on the arrow stacks on the sea outside Tangfang, and the figure of Ji Chenhu jumping into the sea on the nine-story arrow tower, he put down the tea cup in his hand and said with a smile:

"Why should you be afraid if you don't need to go in person?"

There were no outsiders in this public hall, Chen Hong took a step forward and complained in a low voice:

"My lord, you haven't seen the slippery of the leaders of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Wang Shiqiang's face was full of spring breeze after returning to the ship, and he was completely the appearance of the deputy groom's official, and the lower official looked at it, he and the female owner rekindled the old relationship, just waiting for her to partner with us to pit us, marry a flat wife in this Tang Fang, and make a big show."

"If the female owner is so easy to fool, the official has to urge Chen Gangshou to go in person, and even the son of Wenchang should stop being locked in the cabin to study, and hurry up to the workshop to marry the female owner."

Lou Yun couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said,

"You see that he is full of spring breeze, but I see that he is frustrated, if you don't believe it, are you willing to bet with me?"

When Chen Hong heard the gamble, his eyes immediately turned red, which made Lou Yun feel that he had suffered a loss at the hands of Wang Shiqiang because of the bronze mirror gambling this time, and he lost face, and he completely deserved it, only to see him roll up his sleeves and smile:

"Bet on it, what do adults bet on? I took ten boxes of Three Buddhas Qi incense medicine, and bet that Wang Shiqiang is a little Dengke today, he would rather go back and turn his face with Mrs. Lou, but also marry this female owner, so as to appease the maritime merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang - but see how he will explain to his father-in-law when he goes back! My lord, this family affair you married for Miss Lou at the beginning is really good, and it can't be better. ”

"Their marriage is not my idea, I just want to help her for the sake of the same surname and clan."

His face was indifferent, and his interest in gambling faded a little.

Although Chen Hong is rude, he is a very shrewd character, and immediately felt that he was unstable, and suddenly thought that in the rumors, he went to the Lou family at the age of fourteen to recognize his relatives, and he must have suffered a lot, maybe it was the Lou family lady who gave him some good faces, and he only repaid one or two now.

"It's me who talks too much, why should adults care about that, Mingzhou Lou's house is now outside, where can the family be compared with the adult's southwest mansion? The son in their long room is not angry, and he has to rely on his daughter to come out to support the façade, Miss Lou is also hard, and her father is useless, her mother left them a brother and a sister and a brother early, but her brother also died early, leaving two children, the younger brother is younger, after all, Lou is old, and he can't even take care of his granddaughter, where can he take care of her? ”

“…… It's not easy for her either. ”

Lou Yun's eyes dimmed slightly, and he seemed to sigh, and then he also laughed,

"I bet ten boxes of myrrh in Zhancheng, and bet that Wang Shiqiang except for one wife and two concubines in the house, it will be impossible for Hongluan Xingdong to move again, as for the female owner, I think it is rare to see him after he returns to China this time."

"My lord's words, the lower officials are a little unbearable."

Chen Hong laughed and high-fived him, but he felt that he was really still surnamed Lou, and he helped Mrs. Lou to curse that Wang Shiqiang couldn't get close to women, he knew the habits of the maritime merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but whoever ran the sea outside, how could he raise a few more concubines?

At most, they are greedy for freshness, and they write three or four years of rental deeds, and change one after another, not asking them to have offspring, nor staying in the house to raise them as aunts.

In his Chen Mansion, isn't that the case?

"Your Excellency, you're ready."

Lou Da's voice sounded outside the door, Chen Hong couldn't help but have doubts in his eyes, Lou Yun stood up, looked at Chen Hong, and said with a smile:

"Since you are afraid, I will give you a strong courage, lest the female owner think that you have no one to support you."

He looked at the boats of Jiangsu and Zhejiang not far from the window, but the bright green shadow of Ji Qingchen standing in the night wind and waves passed in his heart, and he unconsciously had a trace of impulse:

If you can go back to your cabin at once, and then take a closer look at the woman's eyebrows on the painting of the beautiful woman, you may be able to see if her face under the curtain of the porch at the back of the house can match her wonderful figure in the light of the waves and fire......

He suddenly noticed that he was distracted, and hurriedly gathered his scattered thoughts, and said with a smile:

"They have been in possession of the East China Sea for ten years, and they should know some of our methods."

--Especially the female owner with her hand stretched too long-stretched.〜

Bow and thank the book friend Mingyue Qiqi for the gift reward.
