Chapter 15: Love and Separation (II)

She was slightly stunned, and was about to deny it, but he was already in charge, walking back and forth in front of the corridor, and said in a deep voice:

"If you want to coincide with him, I can't control it-"

He snorted heavily, endured without saying much, and continued, "Since we want to use troops, we can't help but integrate military power, financial power, and human rights, and the Jingkang change is inevitably because there are too many checks and balances in the army, people are floating in things, and there is no military order to have such a result, and it is natural for Prime Minister Han to seek the position of Pingzhang political affairs." Why should we think that he is seeking power?

She knew that he couldn't listen to it, so she hesitated and decided to tell the truth, "What I promised you to support the Northern Expedition at the beginning is indeed impossible now. ”

He froze as he walked back and forth, and turned his face to look at her in almost disbelief.

"Qing Niang!"

She stared at him immovable.

“…… Qingniang, do you still have something to hide from me? ”

He suddenly softened his voice again, and asked her softly, and she stared at him, perhaps her heart swaying from side to side in order to survive was cowardice in his eyes that "erections are not enough".

"I ......"

She opened her mouth slightly, almost as impulsively to tell him again the history of the Mongol Society's southward movement in the textbook, so that he could understand that the only reason she had changed now was that she finally understood that the chances of success of the main battle faction supported by Wang Shiqiang were not high.

However, she looked into his eyes, and the urge to explain it disappeared.

She already knew that the person who was questioning her now was Wang Shiqiang, a doorman in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Wang Shiqiang, the husband of Mingzhou Knowles, not the love-couple who had a heart-to-heart relationship with her back then and talked about everything.

Now she no longer needs to share the inexplicable past of her previous life with him, praying that he can understand her fears......

"Qingniang, are you unexpectedly - aren't you worried about your brother Ji Chenhu at all?"

Wang Shiqiang's voice sounded, and in her eyes, it was still the demeanor and coercion that she had when she first entered the door, so she also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, put away her swaying heart, smiled slightly, and said:

"Wang Gang's capital is not afraid of Prime Minister Han's monopoly on power, so why should I worry about San Lang?"

"Okay, young lady-!"

Wang Shiqiang heard that she and Lou Yun's tone was exactly the same, and he couldn't help but be furious, no matter how calm he was, he couldn't help but be a little speechless, and he didn't need to ask more questions just now when he doubted whether the Chen family had secretly spread the news of Ji Chenhu to her ears, "You only wanted the Northern Expedition in the past, and never cared about any powerful ministers and emperors, do you think I can't see it?" ”

Although she was slightly startled, she also knew that he was too close to her, and she was dispensable to the Great Song Zhao official family, and he didn't say that he could feel it in his heart, so he didn't argue with him, but just sneered:

"What does it have to do with me whether the emperor is the emperor or not, I haven't eaten a single rice from Zhao Guan's family! I know that Wang Gangshou only has power in his eyes, and there is no gang at all, no wonder the two concubines in the family can give birth to a son and a daughter earlier than the main wife, it turns out that this is the rule of Wang Gangshou's family, and now I am very glad that I have no ability to marry into your Wang family, lest I have to watch my husband forcibly occupy his two dowry girls within three days of marriage! ”

When it comes to talking, Wang Shiqiang, a man who wants to save face, is not her opponent anyway.

Listening to her from state affairs all the way to family affairs, and then scolding him for taking a concubine three days after he got married, he was ashamed, but he could hardly suppress his deep hatred for Lou Yun in the past few years. Huang Qilang saw that he quarreled with them again, and his language was rebellious, Xiao Ruiniang had already returned to the house smartly, and he also walked away to avoid the disaster of the pond fish.

"What do you know?"

He gritted his teeth and cursed,

"I did lose you for a while and married a wife, but am I so stupid that I can't see that she is the eldest daughter of the eunuch family, and I am the concubine of the merchant, so I am not a household at all? Why did the Lou family take the initiative to go to the Wang family to hint at my mother-in-law? If I hadn't accepted the two henchmen around her as concubines, how could I have found out the inside story of the past-"

If it weren't for Lou Yun, why would he have hastily repented of his marriage with Ji Qingchen, and now he is full of regrets, the traveling monk from Fusang is simply a trap given to him by Lou Yun, but she is still bothering to arrange it here and treat Lou Yun diligently!

His marriage is completely a dark situation!

Even his wife, Stephen Knowles, was clear before marriage, only he, Wang Shiqiang, and her, Ji Qingchen, were kept in the dark, and were dismantled by Lou Yun waiting to be broken.

Thinking that Lou Yun hung her portrait on the head of the bed in the cabin, even though he knew that it was a trap after a trap, he still got off the ship with anger, but now he thought about it, he was even more angry.

"Lou Yun is this person, just for his selfish interests in Quanzhou City, he did not hesitate to harm the country's affairs, he came to the East China Sea to cut off the relationship between Tang Fang and the Siming royal family, lest you and I join forces to gather financial resources and support Prime Minister Han's Northern Expedition——"

"It turns out that Wang Gangshou still knows the money I have spent over the years, and has been supporting you in preparing for the Northern Expedition—"

She sneered, but she didn't want to quarrel about the past affair with him, whether she was in the affair or not, it was also the matter of Wang Shiqiang and his wife, and his brother-in-law, they were the family with broken bones and tendons, not to mention whether he could believe it, even if she believed it, could she still join forces with Wang Shiqiang to deal with his wife?

Not to mention, she's using Louyun right now.

"Wang Gang first remembers the money I have spent over the years, so he will trouble me to tell me, what is happening to my family's San Lang?"

She turned the conversation around and suddenly asked about San Lang's whereabouts, although she was not worried that he would have an accident at sea, Wang Shiqiang kept mentioning him but there was always a reason.

I'm afraid it has something to do with the fact that the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty arrived a hundred miles outside the square this time.

Her eyes swept over the yellow-spotted ancient jade on Wang Shiqiang's waist, and there was a two-finger-thick wooden board on the side of the jade pendant, on which three stars rotated, which was exactly what she had taken away from Wang Shiqiang, Tang Fang's waist card.

Today, who secretly gave the fang card to Wang Shiqiang?

Three days ago, there were big waves on the sea, and some people in the workshop must have been worried that San Lang would not return if he was shipwrecked at sea, so they were so eager to let Wang Shiqiang, who owned a sea boat, enter the workshop.

"I entered the workshop in advance this time, and I also want to go to Dazaifu to discuss with them the etiquette of welcoming the envoy, since the young lady is not worried about the whereabouts of San Lang, I am not good at overstepping the bounds, so I can only say goodbye first, and do not delay the young lady to welcome the distinguished guests——"

Wang Shiqiang heard her ask about Ji Chenhu, but this time he didn't go down the ladder and bargain with her, he knew that the words had been exhausted, but his hatred for Lou Yun was deeper, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with her for a while, after he finished talking with a cold face, he simply turned around and left.

She didn't expect him to be like this, and after being slightly stunned, she saw him greet Huang Qilang to leave together, and when she arrived at the door, she turned around and said:

"Young Lady...... The 50,000 catties of grain I sold to Tangfang last year have already been eaten, right? ”

The sound of footsteps, Ji Hong hurriedly walked back to the yard with a pigeon in his hand, and was about to report the news from the sea, as soon as he heard Wang Shiqiang mention food, it was completely a threat, and then remembered the slump in the workshop over the years because of the lack of food, he was already rampant and domineering in the workshop and was almost driven out of Tang Fang by Ji Qingchen, his horse face changed, and he couldn't help but jump up and attack.

However, she threw a glance at him without hurrying, and as soon as his heart turned, he also endured it and waited aside.

"Our family's food -- thank you for asking."

She was naturally more calm than Ji Hong, raised her hand to take off the girdle on the well wheel, folded it easily, and put it on the small bench where she was sitting by the well just now and was ready to slaughter chickens.

"But I remember that the merchants who sold grain at sea were not only Wang Daguan's family, right? Fujian maritime merchants also had to sell grain. ”

"That's fine—"

He didn't deliberately say more, after all, it took thirteen days to transport from Quanzhou Port to Tangfang, but Mingzhou Port only took seven days, not to mention that the Siming Wang clan also monopolized the grain purchase of Goryeo, and it could be transported from Tamna Island to Tangfang in three days.

He didn't need to remind her that after the workshop was opened, it was he Wang Shiqiang who bought her 50,000 catties of grain year after year to maintain the rations of the people in Tangfang, and only charged the cost price and sea loss when selling grain, and it was impossible for anyone else to save him.

She knew it all and didn't need him to say more.

"A few days ago, although San Lang encountered a typhoon at sea, he didn't have an accident, he was rescued by Lou Yun and was on the envoy ship, you don't need to worry."

At first glance, when she heard Ji Chenhu's whereabouts, Ji Hong was already shocked, her expression was still unmoving, knowing that the grain and her brother were the basis of his Wang Shiqiang's door-to-door marriage, and replied with a smile:

"Thank you Wang Gangshou for the news-"

She had already guessed that most of the people who gave him the cards were the boys who were making trouble outside Nanfang, they were all Ji Chenhu's subordinates, stealing cards from him, and it was possible for him to use the boat to find someone in the deep sea, but Ji Chenhu was cunning in the sea, and it was really impossible for him to have an accident.

Although Wang Shiqiang expected her to be like this, he couldn't help but secretly annoy her for being too calm, and said: "If there is still a place where I can be used, you just send someone to inform Zuo Ping as usual, and I will come to see you." ”

After that, he strode away, Zuo Ping, who had been passing love letters and letters between her and him in previous years, bowed his head and gave her a salute, and followed quickly, Huang Qilang saw them leave without looking back, and wished it was over, so he hurriedly threw a "harmony first" look at her, and the nine-bar dowry in the courtyard was not carried away, leading Li Heimao and other boatmen to chase after him.

Only she frowned in the courtyard and thought: San Lang was rescued by Lou Yun at sea?

That's impossible.
