"This courtship is just a pretense, I can use it, and he can use it."

She smiled, before she finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, she turned her head to look, Mrs. Wang was sweating profusely, and she broke in with a disgraced face, if it weren't for her youngest son Wang Bao'er was supporting her, the road would almost be unstable.

"Mom, what's wrong—?"

She couldn't help frowning.

"Big lady! Oh no! Saburo arranged for someone to guard outside the courtyard of the Fusang woman, to stop the old woman from doing errands, and the old woman broke in with this old face, and the woman had already given birth to the child-"

The crowded warehouse platform was so silent that there was hardly a trace of breathing for a while, everyone lowered their heads, and the sound of killing on the sea was overwhelming, but Xiao Ruiniang almost felt that the air on this platform could not be breathed.

Even Huang Qilang turned his head, it was not good to look at Ji Qingchen's face more.

Her slender five fingers clenched the lens barrel in her hand, endured the anger of smashing directly to the ground, turned her eyes calmly, and looked at Ji's mother who had been silent with Wang's mother and son upstairs.

She had just instructed Ji's mother to ask for news outside the workshop.

The old woman was holding an orange lantern and walked to the railing of the platform, and she lit the braziers at the four corners of the platform one by one, and walked quietly and leisurely, as if she were still in ordinary years, waiting for the last time to pass at night.

At this time, she felt Ji Qingchen's eyes, and in the jumping firelight, she turned her face, and there was no fluctuation on her wrinkled old face, and she said slowly:

"Big lady, in order to take care of the affairs of the Honglu Song Pavilion, the old body has just summoned the tile lady back, and she has already found out in that courtyard - after Wang's mother left, Ji Jun of Chikuhou River immediately sent a messenger to Zhuma Temple to deliver the letter, and the letter has been intercepted."

When Xiao Ruiniang heard this, she secretly patted her little chest, knowing that the eldest lady deliberately asked Mother Wang to deliver the medicine, and sure enough, there were other arrangements, not to hurt the baby and Third Brother Ji to turn her face, but to listen to Mother Ji continue:

"Recently, a prince monk from Heian Capital came to the Zhuma Temple—"

She frowned and listened patiently, it is not uncommon for Prince Wupin in Ping'an Capital to become a monk and become a monk, and he can be driven to Zhuzi Zhuma Temple, most of them are also involved in the rebellion, and sure enough, I heard Ji's mother say:

"In the letter written by Ji Jun to this monk, she said that she had dealings with the royal relatives in the capital before she was exiled, which mentioned that she gave birth safely today, and asked the monk to send monks to pick up her child - Wa Niangzi has also observed Ji Jun's physical condition these days, and according to the day, the child may not be San Lang's."

As soon as he heard that the son born to Ji Jun was not necessarily Ji Chenhu's child, on the platform of the small building, seven or eight people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, the so-called Ji Jun of Chikugo River was naturally the woman from the Fuso family that San Lang knew.

As for Wa Niangzi, she is Ji Qingchen's henchman in the inner curry, who is good at witch medicine and herbs, helping women give birth safely, and it seems that she has not seen her for more than half a year, but now it seems that she actually went to Ji Jun's side to stare at her.

"Bullshit Ji Jun!"

On the contrary, Mrs. Wang jumped up, wiped her tears and shouted:

"If it weren't for Saburo's seed, what would he send someone to do in that courtyard? My wife's heart is frightened—"

Speaking of this, Wang Bao'er took a step forward, his thirteen-year-old height was already a line taller than Wang Pozi, and the wound on his forehead was the scar left by San Lang beating him, but the look in his eyes was still tender, he looked like a teenager, he supported the old lady with a smile and persuaded:

"Mother, let's not worry, the eldest lady is in charge of everything."

"My son, when the eldest lady handed San Lang into my hands, I raised it for three years, and I didn't dare to slack off, where did I think he became what he is now?"

Mrs. Wang's concern was not in the same direction as her youngest son, and she was almost about to cry and fall to the ground.

"In the past two years, he has lived in the Nanfang house, which item of food and clothing is not my wife worrying about him, I just hope that he will have a future, and I will pull you two brothers in the future, if San Lang becomes a cuckold waste, how can my wife have the face to live in this square again in the future!? How can I be worthy of the big lady......"

"That's it!"

She drank in a deep voice, and categorically stopped Mrs. Wang's nonsense, San Lang Ji Chenhu's mind was sometimes not even accurate about her sister, otherwise why would she use this method to test, sure enough, the child conceived by Chikugo Chuan Jijun was not an ordinary bloodline,

"Bao'er, your mother has worked hard, help her to sit in the backyard house-Rui'er, go serve hot tea to Wang's mother and beat her legs."

Wang Bao'er was first afraid of Ji Chenhu, and the second was Ji Qingchen, his mother was third, and when she heard her order, she hurriedly responded, and together with Xiao Rui'er, who ran over, helped Wang Pozi downstairs.

"It's just two arrow towers, although they were taken down by San Lang, which made him prestige among the villagers, but the arrow tower island can only be counted if it has an official document deed."

Huang Qilang and Mr. Li discussed a few words, stepped forward to speak,

"San Lang wants to take the building with brute force and get the position of the owner again, so that the elders in the workshop will not be convinced."

He knew that when Ji Qingchen first opened the workshop, he didn't have many cronies in his hands.

In order to thin out the power of the two younger brothers in the north and south square, lest they become popular again, she raised yì to build the Tang Fang Li Elder Association in the first few years without manpower.

She selected the elders from the community who had made meritorious contributions, lived a long life, could read and write, could do business, had unique skills, or had many children, and organized them together, and established a 29-member Li Lao Association in a ratio of 100 to 1 for 30,000 residents.

In addition to being responsible for the annual audit and publicity, the elders are the owners of the common discussion.

When the workshop was first established, nearly 100 people who were selected by her to learn various techniques from the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty were often meritorious, unique skills, literacy and business, so many of them were selected, accounting for more than half of the old people's association.

This has made her position as the owner of the workshop as stable as Mount Tai every three years.

But there was no real manpower she could use in the workshop, and the two younger brothers were also like her, hurriedly learning how to manage the 30,000 people in the square.

She waited until the flood of the Yellow River in Jinguo, and thousands of northern Han craftsmen and their families moved in Tang Fangzhong, and these people became her own team and organized the three hundred Neikufang Ding in her hands.

In addition, Ji Chenlong has five department store stacks, and Ji Chenhu has nearly two thousand Nanfang Fangding, although the force in her hands is far from being comparable to the number of Nanfang and Beifang, but because she has mastered the inner library workshop, it has become an indispensable storage in Tang Fang.

Just as she used her own strength to take on the huge debt of three mountains and take the lead in building a workshop, even if she couldn't lobby a large number of people like Erlang and Sanlang, she was the backbone of the entire Tangfang.

Nowadays, although the strong men registered in the workshop are in the hands of their three sisters and brothers, they have to be dispatched, and they are still under the name of the elder association, such as Wang Bao'er gathering and making noise for the purpose of checking the accounts, and the order to block the street entrance was also issued by her husband in Guòli.

"Even if I give the position of the owner to San Lang, it's not the most important thing, but I wonder what this Lord Lou wants to do?"

She looked at the huge fleet of ships that had sailed to the sea of Tangfang, and the sea fight in the firelight really seemed to be lively, but there were not many real casualties.

The rockets flew sideways on the sea, but the accuracy was too poor, sometimes seeing the fire burned to the boat, the deep water and the current of the fang Ding had already escaped, and thousands of fishermen were even more on the periphery, without getting Ji Chenhu's instructions to really participate.

She knew that the people didn't actually know the mystery in this, but Ji Chenhu didn't attack fiercely, and the Great Song fleet didn't fight back, of course they just had to obey the dispatch.

A limited number of leaders on duty, such as Li Hailan, who should have returned to the small fishing boat, such as Ji Hong, who was guarding at the water gate in the east, and the six brothers of the Xu family, who were Ji Chenhu's henchmen, should be able to sense that something is wrong, but they will never act rashly.

In the past ten years, they have all been accustomed to Ji Chenhu's command in the fight.

And that Lord Lou really deserves to be from a military position, and he is so shrewd that it makes people uneasy, he can immediately use it according to Ji Chenhu's offensive, and cooperate intimately, so that he can perform this good show.

She couldn't help but think of the bronze mirror case in which Quanzhou merchants sued Zhao Bingqian for murder and robbery, as well as the fake birthday gift case in Lin'an Palace.

Maybe she thought she was secretly manipulating and pushing the chief official of the Quanzhou City Shipping Division to become a state envoy, leading him to the East China Sea, so as to help her speed up the construction of the ship - maybe it caused a ** annoyance to herself?

What went wrong?

Could it be that this Lord Lou has seen through it, and it is impossible for her to marry the Chen family, so she has to support San Lang to replace her, so as to pave the way for Fujian maritime merchants to return to the East China Sea?

But it is not impossible for her to be sold by him, she and Wang Shiqiang, a maritime merchant in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, have a hatred of repentance after all, this Lord Lou should summon her no matter what, before he can decide whether she is worth befriending......

Only from the bottom of her heart knew that if this Lord Lou had always been in charge of peace and could not clearly support the Northern Expedition, it would be impossible for her to really join forces with him.

Sitting and waiting to die is not her choice.

"Could it be that this envoy is a woman, so she doesn't take it?"

Mr. Li frowned and whispered, because he was an old neighbor, so he dared to say such a thing, knowing that Ji Qingchen preferred to listen to useful truths at this critical juncture.

"Maybe that's the reason, but there are as many Xiaoyi tribes and small tribes as the Great Song Dynasty canonized in the southwest, southeast, and even northwest, and it's not uncommon for female leaders to be canonized - besides, this Lord Lou is not an ordinary person."

She shook her head slightly, he didn't need to give her a fancy to Saburo at all.

"It is precisely because I am a woman that he should believe that I will never make peace with the Siming royal family lightly."

Xiao Ruiniang wanted to speak on the side, Ji Qingchen saw her, but remembered that because of this series of changes, Li Hailan had not had time to see the message, so he asked her to tell the news.

Xiao Ruiniang had already memorized the contents of the pigeon letter, and hurriedly said:

"Sister Hailan met the Great Song Sea Boat when she was fishing thirty miles away, so she stepped forward to ask about the origin, because there were the stewards of Huang Dongzhu and Wang Dongzhu on the boat, and I saw the Tibetan general who is usually in charge of national ceremonies in Dazaifu——"

She pouted slightly and looked at Huang Qilang, who nodded and said:

"Brother Wang Xiandi did invite the Tibetan general from Dazaifu to go to the Song ship to check the national credentials, presumably he should have arrived on the ship."

She nodded, gestured with her eyes, and asked Xiao Ruiniang to continue to tell Li Hailan the news and listen to her:

"Sister Hailan said that after she confirmed her identity, she whistled and summoned all the ladies who went out fishing to protect the boat, and took the initiative to pick the best sea pearls and fresh fish caught today and presented them to the Song envoy."

Although he was in adversity, Ji Qingchen couldn't help but feel gratified.

Usually, when the envoys of Goryeo, Okinawa or the Jurchens of the East China Sea in the Liaodong region come to Tangfang, as long as there is a state banquet in the Honglu Pavilion, in addition to Erlang and Saburo attending together, she will often bring the three daughters of the Li family and the seven ladies of the Xu family to participate, so that they can familiarize themselves with the etiquette of state guests.

Now that Li Hailan is facing the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, she advances and retreats to a certain extent, and has good etiquette, so she will not let people underestimate her Tang Fang, and her years of hard work have not been in vain.

"Mr. Li's family is well-educated."

She smiled and complimented.

Among Li Dingwen's three daughters, the favorite is also this little daughter, and now I can hear that she behaves appropriately in front of the angels of a country, and sees the eldest lady praise, although he is humble on his face, the joy of "my family has a girl who has just grown up" can be seen by everyone.

"Eldest lady, the letter also said that the eldest brother and third brother of the Xu family have been chasing after the Great Song fleet, and they sent her a message, saying that San Lang was captured by mistake, although she has the heart to ask the Song envoy to see San Lang, but she is worried that it will be abrupt, so she can only endure it temporarily."

Rui Niang spoke clearly, and told the last news in the pigeon letter in detail,

"The letter said that when she gave a gift, the Song envoy was very happy, summoned her to the ship, and asked the name and origin of Sister Hailan at that time, and praised her as a loyal minister of the previous dynasty, and did not blame her, and gave her a cup of imperial wine from the Zhao official family of the Great Song Dynasty - she took this opportunity to take a closer look on the ship, but she did not see any trace of San Lang."

Although Mr. Li was worried about the intention of collusion between the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty and Ji Chenhu, he still felt sour in his heart and moist his eyes when he heard the words "after the loyal ministers of the former dynasty".

For the sake of this loyal minister, the Li family has been buried in a foreign country for more than 200 years and more than ten generations.

――I heard that the official family of the Zhao family is kind to the scholars, and it is really not a lie——

Bow and thank the book friend Kefei for the gift reward.
