It's getting late.

Coming out of Chen Hong's tent, Ji Qingchen didn't think it was a big deal to be hung aside by his cold face.

Anyway, Zhang Xueli was there, he said a few words, although Chen Hong ignored her, he also accepted the gift from Lao Siniang.

She chose this tent camp where she couldn't hide any secrets to apologize, and walked from the tent of the female guest to the tent of the male guest, of course, to let the officials and businessmen of Mingzhou City see it.

In this way, Chen Hong's face can be regarded as making up for it.

She will ask the Chen family to come to her again in the future, and others will not say that she is a bully.

After sending Zhang Xueli away with gratitude, she also sat in the tent and pondered.

Lao Siniang pondered and felt that she did have some affection for Chen Wenchang, and Chen Wenchang's actions were worthy of this marriage.

But the woman thought about it again and again, and still asked Li Qiulan and Ji Ruiniang to go out of the tent to play.

She turned back, stood on the edge of the couch, and persuaded softly:

"Big lady, I see that Lord Lou is quite attentive to the eldest lady, and there will be no elder cousin in his family to ask the eldest lady to suffer this grievance......"

She didn't know Ji Qingchen's plans for this marriage, and knew that she had the ability to turn things around, but she had just stood in Chen Hong's tent with two pillars of incense, and Chen Hong was stunned that she didn't give her a chair or a bowl of tea.

If you marry in the future, will you still have a good life?

On the contrary, it was Zhang Xueli. The old scribe came as soon as he was invited, and he was also thoughtful and polite in his work. Although it is for the things on the West River, it is also a big favor after all.

Without Lou Yun's acquiescence, he would not have come.

Ji Qingchen knew that she would have to say these words sooner or later, and now she didn't shy away from it, she just laughed softly:

"Lord Lou, he plans to tell us to return empty-handed on the West River Road."

Lao Siniang had obviously thought about it. Hurriedly said:

"Don't worry, big lady. Thousands of miles for officials only for money, he joined forces with the Xie family, and then joined forces with the Chen family, isn't it just to do something to make the official family value him? Will you be promoted and make a fortune in the future? The big lady can help him with these things, and he doesn't have to worry that he doesn't value the dà lady. It's just that the eldest lady knows it in her heart? He is not only for the sake of the eldest lady......"

“……”

Ji Qingchen was now thinking about whether Chen Wenchang could come back from Quanzhou City.

Chen Hong and his parents must have had news for a long time, and the second master of the Chen family wants to detain the second son. Don't tell him to come back to her. Naturally, this family business will not be done.

If she were Chen Wenchang. She'll be embarrassed too.

"Big lady, I heard Ji Fu vaguely saying that Lord Lou wants to withdraw from the Shunchang County Lord for the sake of trying the case. Now he is telling Ji Ergongzi and the county lord of Shunchang about family affairs......"

Lao Siniang helped her to recline on the couch, although she knew that she was not so delicate, she still slowly helped her beat her legs,

"Supposedly, let's not do such a thing as breaking up people's marriages. But since Xie Thirteen Gongzi did say it. Lou is booking the wrong person. It's a different story......"

Ji Qingchen groped for the flower rope on his wrist, thinking that he had worn this wrist rope for more than half a year. Chen Wenchang also knows.

Although she has her own way to make Chen Hong regret it, she heard that the Chen family's parents in the second room are not extremely shrewd businessmen, and they may not be able to do things like Chen Hong.

They might think she's even worse.

If he can't come back for a while because of his parents, she just goes with the flow. Looking for someone else?

Or send this wrist rope to Quanzhou City and let Chen Wenchang also take a look?

Let him think about it, and he came across the sea to ask for his wife. It's not easy either.

If he had to take some time to convince his parents, she was willing to wait.

……

She couldn't make up her mind. Standing in the tent, the two pillars of incense were also a little tired, and they leaned on the couch with their eyes closed and pretended to sleep, but they did not stop Lao Siniang from continuing to speak.

Lao Siniang was secretly happy in her heart, covered her with a thin blanket, and slowly persuaded her in her ear, saying:

"Don't mention the eldest lady, I can also understand the woman, Lord Lou has some romantic reputation in Quanzhou? I heard that this returned to Goryeo with an official trick. In addition, he was born in the southwest Yishan, and of course he is inferior to the son of Wenchang in terms of everyone's upbringing. But he must not have meant to do so......"

Suddenly, Ji Qingchen thought of Lou Yun in the moonlight forest.

When he hid his identity and teased each other like that, he offended her?

It's not a ......

That night, she thought it was just a funny joke.

Regardless of identity.

If he hadn't been engaged at that time, if he had mentioned the encounter in the moonlit woods on the drum tower that day, she would have wondered what to do......

"Lord Lou, I'm afraid that what he wants is not only to be promoted and make a fortune."

She opened her eyes and sat up straight, whispering in Lao Siniang's ear,

"Wang Gangshou went back to the southwest border army, and Mrs. Huang also told me something. The Tusi Mansion over there has a close relationship with Lou Yun, and Wang Gangshou also found out that he secretly instigated those Tusi to reorganize their troops in the southwest. ”

"Whole troops?"

Lao Siniang was startled, and her heart for promotion and fortune suddenly shrank, and the sweat on her forehead seeped out, "Big lady, this is ...... This ......"

Does this mean rebellion?

“…… It's not like that. ”

Ji Qingchen pondered.

Because she first came to the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how much she knew about the affairs of the court and China in the past, it was just Wang Shiqiang's foundation for her.

So she couldn't inquire about it.

It will take time to really investigate deeply, not to mention that Wang Shiqiang only speculates that he has not obtained any useful evidence.

"I think he may be for the source of soldiers in Jiangbei. Didn't he tell the officials that the army in the north of the river was not well supplied and lacked training? He can't just talk about it, but he has to come up with a useful note for the officials. Only he knows that. ”

"I see."

Lao Siniang is most concerned about the queen in the palace, and she doesn't know much about the military and political affairs outside, so she naturally listens to her, and immediately relaxes, "Since he is a little loyal to the king, he wants to do something about it, and he must have someone to help him——"

At this time, she suddenly hesitated and looked at Ji Qingchen's face carefully.

Over the years, Ji Qingchen has helped the Korean government.

"He wants to be loyal to the king. That's his business. Our business is our business. ”

Ji Qingchen knew that she should explain this to this woman, otherwise she would not be able to do things for Tangfang in Mingzhou City in the future.

"You know, I have been in business with Huang Qilang for ten years. When we didn't know Wang Shiqiang, we had already discussed that we would build a warehouse in the Great Song Dynasty together. He and Sister Huang are in charge of the business from Jiangbei to the northwest, and I, Erlang and Sanlang, I are doing the business from Jiangnan to the East China Sea, and we help each other. Tang Fang can do without the Siming Wang's family. There is no need for the Chen family. But if we part ways with the Huang Inn—"

Before she finished speaking, Lao Siniang's face changed color and she hurriedly spoke. Road:

"Big lady, this won't work—"

"Therefore, the Huang Clan Warehouse has been bet on the Han Shen government, which is my first difficulty."

She also closed her eyes slightly. Then he opened his eyes and smiled:

"It's just that I'm not afraid to talk to you. Huang Qige is for the sake of righteousness. Bet on the Han Sam government. As for me—"

Lao Siniang looked at her and knew that she had been regarded as a confidant, so she couldn't help but listen to her very softly.

"Don't say it's Lou Yun, it's that I didn't know Wang Shiqiang at the beginning, or Wang Shiqiang took a fancy to other governors. I will also bet on the side of the Korean government. ”

She spat out word by word, "I'll take his Northern Expedition." ”

“…… The meaning of the owner. Woman, I see. ”

Although Lao Siniang is a Han from the north, her shrewd mind doesn't care why Ji Qingchen is betting on the Northern Expedition.

In her spinning mind, she was just thinking:

If Ji Qingchen can't lead Tang Fang to Lou Yun, and can't immediately seek a four-grade promotion to make a fortune, then as a confidant of the owner, what she has to think about is of course how Ji Qingchen can get it back from the Han Shen government.

Or, what kind of benefits can Lou Yun come up with, so that Ji Qingchen can not lose the local area.

"The official family has only been on the throne for four years. The eldest lady has been in Han Mansion for four years......"

She pondered, inquiring carefully.

After all, she has only been in Tangfang for more than a year, and she doesn't know a lot of inside information.

"It's been a decade."

Ji Qingchen sighed, "It's not just the gold placer on the river that is bet. ”

In Lao Siniang's surprise, she lifted the thread blanket on her body and took Lao Siniang's hand.

"From the first year when the two rivers were dug up, there were already Song boats that began to berth. In addition to paying off my debts every year, I started to have some money to spare. Because craftsmen must be used on the river, even if the money to buy grain is not enough, I will immediately start a workshop in Tangfang. Teach the physics and chemistry textbooks in the workshop to the craftsmen in the witch slaves—"

Lao Siniang was also a little abrupt.

She is a northern Han Chinese, so she doesn't need to go to the workshop to learn, but she is also proud of the hydraulic machinery in the Tang Fang, which makes the Song craftsmen full of praise.

Only then did she understand that it was no wonder that Mother Ji was the chief steward of the inner library, just because all the slaves who had mastered the skills of craftsmen among the remnants of Southern Kyushu belonged to the names of the five witches.

At the beginning, the eldest lady accepted this batch of witch slaves, and only then did she initially build the Tangfang workshop.

"Later, it was the Siming royal family who helped us build the river and build the port, and the Song craftsmen taught a group of craftsmen. Then you northern Han craftsmen were transported to Tangfang one after another......"

She recalled the hard work of the past ten years, recalled the firearms, telescopes, hydraulic machinery made in the workshop, and countless future items of improved bows and crossbows, and smiled lightly.

"Han Shenzheng was born in a famous family, although he himself became prosperous after he ascended the throne because of the dragon's work, but my Tangfang workshop was completed for ten years, and it was all bet on the Han Shen government."

“……”

Lao Siniang is a sub-stack manager, so she can't quite know how many things the workshop produces, but she inquired that Wang Shiqiang has a group of craftsmen in his hands and sent them under the name of Huang's warehouse, and they have learned a lot of workshop techniques from Tang Fang.

She also heard about him selling firearms in the field to raise money.

Because there was Ji Qingchen's dark stock in the warehouse before, she couldn't intervene in the affairs of the inner warehouse workshop according to the rules of the warehouse, so she didn't care about this business in the past.

But now that she listens to Ji Qingchen's accounting, she knows:

Ji Qingchen got off the coffin book during the Northern Expedition when South Korea participated in politics.

"To say something unpleasant, even if Wang Shiqiang and Huang Qilang collided with evil now, they closed their hands together and fell to Lou Yun. Of course I won't stop them. But if I don't stay in the Han government, it's impossible. ”

Ji Qingchen sighed, "Lou Yun checked Tangfang for several years before coming to the East China Sea, and he knows these things. ”

“……”

Lao Siniang was almost speechless for a while. (To be continued) R655
