"The little girl moved to the Great Song Dynasty with the eldest lady, and I hope to be able to visit the adults in the future. When I first return to my homeland, I will inevitably have some mistakes, and I will ask for advice from adults in the future. ”

“…… Naturally, this is the case. ”

The generals were curious to watch here.

They grimaced, knowing that this little girl should be the confidant of the female owner.

In Quanzhou City, it is common for Fanfang women to come forward to deal with the government.

Although he is young, he will be able to come out to do things in a few years.

What's more, their eyes also saw the small crossbow machine under her cloak, and the knife she wore at her waist.

There were torches and figures in front of and behind the mountain road, Lou Yun glanced at Ji Qingchen quietly, and said with a polite smile:

"In the owner's Tang Fang, there are a lot of outstanding women. I want to help the owner. ”

"The adults complimented me, but they would do some chores so that I could find a few days to rest. In the future, when they go to Quanzhou City, they will inevitably contact the local government for various things, and if they can pay their respects to the adults, they will also ask the adults to give advice. ”

Looking at each other, he finally understood:

Even if she wanted to take a break, it was because she wanted to make room for this little girl to have more experience.

What's more, there are capable women like Li Hailan and Li Molan in Tangfang, as well as Xu's Qiniang......

And in Quanzhou City under his rule, there are 400,000 merchants in Fanfang outside the city alone, and there is ten times the land of Tangfang, which may be just right for them to experience.

She bet on the Jiangbei border with 15,000 taels of gold a year, which was originally a gamble. Only when business starts on the border river can she return to her roots.

When the time comes, I'm afraid that this little girl named Ji Ruiniang will be able to stand alone.

"I remember a sentence in an old book."

He said abruptly.

When the envoy spoke, she could only pick it up. smiled and asked, "I don't know what the adult refers to?" ”

She didn't know what he was thinking, so she was also surprised to find that Lou Yun looked at her with a look of sudden realization. I just heard him laugh and laugh:

"If you don't accumulate silicon, you can't move a thousand miles, and if you don't collect small streams, you can't become a river-I understand what the owner means. In the future, when the owner of the workshop asked the small owner and Miss Li to do their work in Fanfang. I'll make it easier. If the owner wants to reopen the workshop in Fanfang, please tell me when you have difficulties. ”

“……”

She didn't know where he could tell that she meant that, but he did say that she was coming to Quanzhou City

After the plan. Since he is willing to give convenience, of course she will also make every effort to support the envoy and thank her politely.

"Praise from adults. Thank you, sir. ”

There is still a five-mile mountain road from Tangfang. The group continued to advance in the mountains, and it was still Lou Yun's home that would open the way, and he walked in it

, she and her fangding pressed back.

"Big Lady ......"

Ji Ruiniang finally relaxed and was led by Ji Qingchen to walk. She also excitedly talked about all kinds of news from the market.

The child's crisp voice would drift to Lou Yun's ears from time to time, and he walked in front, and the canopy of the trees on the side of the mountain road gradually thinned.

The morning star had risen and met his eyes, and the sky was still gray.

Thinking of the conversation he had with her just now, he was in a happy mood for some reason.

Despite the sight. He still has no chance of intersecting with her.

Even in her eyes, there was a faint indifference to him.

But she's still her after all.

She was not as innocent and weak as he originally thought, she was the woman who surprised him at the Fan Merchants Conference last year. She is still the angry Shengfan who let him be fooled in the old sacrificial ground of Yazhu Mountain......

When Lou Yun was inexplicably comforted in his heart, Ji Qingchen was also in Xiao Ruiniang's mouth and heard countless news.

For example, the person who rescued the lord of the small country was the Fusang maritime merchant, and the Fusang maritime merchant in Xifang needed Ji Chenhu's support.

For example, the lord of the small country now lives in the castle of Kunishou, and everyone is trying to persuade him to join forces with the Ezo people.

The conditions that a small lord can promise to the Ezo tribe are: As long as he returns to the safe capital, the Ping clan is willing to return all the Ezo land.

Arrived at the foot of the mountain. Dozens of Nanfang board boats were waiting to greet her, and she saw Xu Da and Xu Si. also knew that Xu Shuqing and others arranged a banquet in the Nanfang Mansion to welcome the envoy and the owner back.

And the "national envoy" in the Nanfang Mansion is the big building.

When she got on the board boat that greeted her, and while discussing with Beitongnu, she looked at the Tangfang Water Gate from afar, she already knew:

At least, she doesn't need to worry about Ji Chenhu for the time being, and she doesn't need to worry about being unwilling to move back to the Fangmin in Song with her for the time being.

As long as the Ezo tribe agrees to the conditions of the small lord, Tang Fang should not be in danger immediately.

Enough for her to move them back one by one.

"Lou Yun's matter, you didn't tell the truth."

Ah Chi's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and she stopped and turned her head to look at him beside her.

"Did he mention your family affair to you? You didn't say yes? ”

She was a little surprised, just now he and Lou Yun were talking on the mountain road, and there was not a word that was unsightly.

How did he start to doubt again.

"It's not that I'm not telling the truth. He really didn't say anything on the drum tower. only talked about the official affairs of the Song Kingdom. ”

She originally led Xiao Ruiniang to get off the boat and take the car, so she simply let Ah Chi sit on the cow wheel, and it was Ji Mo and Ah Chi who drove the car on the other side

still decided what kind of dealings there was between her and Lou Yun, and said categorically:

"Even if it were, there must be something."

“……”

In Ah Chi's questioning, she touched Xiao Ruiniang sitting next to her.

“…… You're right. I'm not a little girl anymore. He didn't say it, and I knew it in my heart. ”

"You didn't even ask him?"

“……”

She was simply speechless, secretly scolding this Ah Chi, he is still a man, and she didn't see him go to talk to Lou Ling first?

But she could only explain, saying:

"What did I ask him? I'm getting ready to get married. I'm worried that I'm too late. I really don't get along with Gongzi Wenchang. I don't know if this family business will work out......"

Ah Chi was unmoved, and she was not led off topic.

"Leave that alone, what did he say?"

She had no choice but to continue:

"What can he say? He was engaged to the lord of Shunchang County, and he was already in a hurry. I don't know the depth of affection between the two of them, though. But this matter was set too quickly, so it could only be for his official business in the court. Whether he regrets it or not, naturally, has nothing to do with me. It's his own business. I can't afford to go with him for this infamy. ”

Ah Chi listened to her voice flat, speaking so indifferently and distantly. I couldn't help but lean at her and said:

"This is incomprehensible and gentle. He didn't have a crush on you, shouldn't he? ”

Ji Ruiniang in the car shrugged at him, but Ah Chi ignored him at all.

She smiled dumbly and said:

"My marriage with Wang Shiqiang is also too anxious. I also thought that he helped a lot when I built the workshop, and I also need his help to manage the Tang Fang-"

"Of course I know about Wang Shiqiang—"

"Now. How do you know that Lou Yun is suddenly interested in me, and he is not anxious about the affairs of the Han Shen government? ”

She didn't forget what Lou Yun said on the drum tower.

He proposed to cut off Jin Yuan, and once she refused, he couldn't bear to propose her marriage to Chen Wenchang.

"What's more. How do you know that I am not anxious about him now because of the matter of moving back to Quanzhou City? ”

Just like when she was close to Wang Shiqiang.

"The big lady won't be like that."

Ji Ruiniang immediately comforted her.

She smiled and looked down, looked at her, and said:

"It's nothing to think about it, and don't be too yourself in the future. The tiger still has a nap, let alone us? ”

She asked herself, when she first started to do something she was not good at, it was too normal to want to find someone to lean on.

"When you go to Quanzhou City in the future, you have to start doing something by yourself. Usually if it is convenient. It's not a bad thing to ask experienced men for advice. But if you don't have a solid heart, don't rush it. ”

She finished teaching Xiao Rui Niang. Only then did he look at Ah Chi,

"He has a lot of things on his mind, and it's hard to say whether his marriage with the county lord of Shunchang can be resolved smoothly. If he hadn't been in a hurry to get engaged before he went on the mission, or if he had settled down in another four or five years, he would have met again. It's all easy to say. Maybe he doesn't like me yet. But now, it's not possible. ”

She paused,

"Thankfully, he's still self-aware. There is no opening for this opening. ”

If he had directly said what had happened at the Fan Merchants Conference on the drum tower, he would have gone down the mountain today. She's going to avoid it and go away.

He didn't know what to do, but she had learned enough.

"You're too careful, too. The boy of the Wang family has broken your heart, but it will not make you afraid like this-"

She was silent for a moment.

Ji Ruiniang glared at Ah Chi angrily, and Ji Mo also looked at him coldly.

Ah Chi's face was expressionless, and when she felt a little too direct in her heart, she opened her mouth again and said:

"There's one thing you don't know - before you met me, Wang Shiqiang was also engaged to marry at the beginning."

When Ah Chi heard about it for the first time, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Even Ji Mo turned his head to look at her.

"You mean—"

Asked this, Ah Chi also suddenly felt that it was normal for Wang Shiqiang to be engaged before.

He also often dealt with Song Shang, and knew that Wang Shiqiang was everyone's concubine after all, not an upstart like the Ji family, whose parents were not there.

The mother-in-law of the Wang family will not wait to see him again, but she still has to be engaged to the concubine, and the façade must be done after all.

She spoke slowly, and said:

"He was six years older than me, and he was twenty years old when he met me."

Wang Shiqiang is not as famous as Chen Wenchang, and he is not the second son of Chen Wenchang's doting parents, so he can eat the noodles at home early.

How could he do as he pleased, without being engaged?

"When he met me, his mother-in-law had already betrothed him a kiss. Ben is also the daughter of a small county official in her mother's distant relatives, and I heard that she was the county magistrate of a poor county. It is said that he is not a mother and son, and it is enough to find a daughter of a small official family for him. He didn't object either. But he had a lot of eyes, and later went to inquire, and it turned out that the small county official was a criminal official who was greedy for ink in the place where he was an official, and was cut off. ”

As soon as Ji Ruiniang heard that she was a criminal official, her eyes widened and she covered her mouth.

He understood then that his marriage could not be done by his mother-in-law. I found myself in the place. ”

She looked at Ji Ruiniang's surprised look with a smile,

"Of course, I also knew about it, and I also felt at that time that this family business was not his own intention, and it didn't hurt that I was happy with him."

"Of course it is."

Ah Chi obviously felt that it was not worth considering whether to engage or not,

"Is there anyone who does not know his own thoughts, but tells others to decide? Even parents can't do that. ”

He doesn't listen to his parents at all.

Now, in front of his parents, there is no room to speak.

"Of course you're right. But—"

She shook her head and sighed, only feeling that at that time she was still lacking in experience and didn't know people's hearts.

"When he was with me, he did dissolve the marriage. I don't know what happened to the daughter of the little county magistrate. But now that I think about it, I was in too much of a hurry. He was on good terms with me at that time, and he would rather fall out with his family than marry me, and he seemed to have a deep affection for me, but I was afraid that most of them were not resentful of his mother-in-law. In his heart, he still wants to marry a woman from an official family. ”

At this point, the figure in front of him stopped.

There was still some way away from Fangzhong Street, and she could see that Lou Yun turned his head to look at this side in the crowd.

Most of the people descending the mountain were men, and only she and Lloyd's took two ox carts.

She knew that Xu Da and Xu Si would hide their eyes and ears, send Lou Yun to Nanfang Mansion, and finish this scene.

The maritime merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang knew that he had gone to Zhuma Temple, but in this situation, they would not ask more questions for the time being.

After walking for a while, she got out of the car, turned her head to look at Ah Chi, and said:

"Therefore, the affairs of Lou Yun and the county lord of Shunchang are his business, and the affairs of me and Chen Wenchang are my business. Naturally, I don't want to listen to what a betrothed man can say. ”

Not worth listening to.

Fortunately, he didn't say anything.

When Ah Chi heard this, he couldn't speak anymore.

And when she stepped on Fangzhong Street, it was the rising sun. She stood at the intersection and recognized Chen Wenchang, and when she saw his smile in the light, she also knew:

This time, she can start over. (To be continued)
