After Lao Siniang sent Yu Niang away, she didn't know how to persuade her when she stood in front of Ji Qingchen.

"How many sea vessels are there in the Taicang shipyard?"

Ji Qingchen asked.

She wouldn't really want to give Lou Yun a concubine just because she left a courtyard for concubines in the mansion.

"Twelve new ones have been built, five have been sold to Li Quan, and there are seven more under his own name."

After all, Lao Siniang was shrewd, and hurriedly said,

"The Chen family's shipyard in Mingzhou has five pieces of inventory, and the Wang family's shipyard also has this number. There is also the Chen family in Quanzhou

There are also shipyards—"

Ji Qingchen calculated, unless the Mongols came in front of her, she really had no reason to turn around and flee.

Now the front line is victorious, besieging Xijing.

There is indeed a controversy in the court about whether to recruit back the two armies or further attack the capital of the Jin Kingdom.

The old ministers in the political hall felt that they should slow down, so as not to make another Zhang Bangchang or Wu Xi.

Shilin Qingliu was jubilant, writing poems, worshipping ancestors and crying spirits, excitedly waiting to recover the old capital of Bianliang. Then he fought all the way to the Jin people's hometown.

Zhao Duanning is not very bold, but he is not as timid as a mole.

She took the car and went to Zhao Deyuan's mansion, wanting to ask the official Zhao Duanning which clan relatives he usually respected, and if she could let them come forward to persuade her.

Unexpectedly, on the way, she received news from the palace.

When Chen Wenchang entered the palace to give a lecture today, he persuaded the official family to take the royal drive in person.

In the unexpected joy, she didn't care about any taboos, and wrote a letter on the carriage to tell Lou Yun about the incident, and asked people to send it to Jeju urgently.

She urged directly:

"Go to Chen's Mansion."

Ultimately. Xiao Funing went out of the mansion to marry Gan Niangzi to make a place, which was the same as the courtyard where she prepared a concubine room in the mansion.

This is to avoid making the official family suspicious.

Otherwise. Could it be that Lou Yun was defeated in Jiangbei and returned?

At that time, of course, no one wants to send a concubine.

I don't have to live this day.

"Shanchang Chen went to the Bachelor's Mansion?"

Ji Qingchen heard the news in Chen's mansion. After talking to Mrs. Chen without saying a word, she resigned.

When Chen Wenchang left the palace, he asked someone to deliver a message to his family, saying that he went to visit Ji Chenhu, the brother-in-law of Lou Xianggong, in the bachelor's mansion.

He was going to her, of course.

But the two of them missed each other.

"Madame, go home?"

"No need. Go to the front dock to change boats and go to Taicang. ”

She didn't have to think about it at all, and went directly to Taicang Academy by boat.

Chen Wenchang and her are the front and back feet.

He also obviously understood that Taicang was more convenient to speak.

……

Taicang Academy was near the shipyard, Ji Qingchen couldn't help it, and got off the ship at the port in front of the shipyard first.

She walked deep on the edge of the dock, looking up at the huge keel of the sea ship floating in mid-air.

It was supposed to be the time of the afternoon rest, and she sent the shipwrights home. Walking alone beside this huge keel.

She still remembers that many years ago, she went to the shipyard in Quanzhou in order to build a sea ship in Tangfang.

Before Chen Wenchang went to Tangfang to ask for relatives, she went to Quanzhou City.

"Be careful."

I don't know when, Chen Wenchang's sigh came from behind him, "It's easy to drown by the dock." ”

She froze in her footsteps and turned her head to look at him.

Chen Wenchang is obviously the same as her, he has not returned home after leaving home, and his face is slightly tired. There was a hint of a smile on the corner of his lips.

He was still dressed in a dark blue Confucian robe that he wore in the palace, with a hat on his head, a piece of blue jade embedded in the hat, and a knife-shaped ancient Dong jade hanging on the ribbon around his waist in addition to the palace card.

"This shipyard is all your own. What else to see here? Be careful. ”

Chen Wenchang persuaded.

And she knew. He remembers years ago.

Except for a chance encounter on the street of Chen's house, the place where they first met was actually the Chen family's shipyard.

At that time, she was nothing more than the daughter of a shipwright delivering food.

And he is only the son of the proprietor's family.

Because there is nothing to do in the academy. That's why I came to my own shipyard.

She followed the memories of that time and pedaled. I boarded the sea ship that had not yet been built in the dock, and looked out at the blue sea outside Taicang Port.

"This shipyard is not all Tangfang. Isn't the Chen family also involved? ”

She laughed.

Chen Wenchang just smiled. There was no sound.

Ji Qingchen couldn't help but turn his head to look at him.

Since he and Xiao Funing divorced earlier, she once realized that Chen Wenchang actually tolerated her in every way.

Later, Lin Hongzhi made trouble, and she didn't remember much about it.

It's just that Mrs. Chen was recuperating in the capital for a while, and she couldn't help but think of these things.

"Shan Chang, he used to want to discuss with Ji Niangzi about taking the old lady over, but he never dared to mention it."

Before Xiao Funing got married for the third time, he once told her with a smile.

At that time, she still felt that Xiao Funing's eyes were inexplicably strange.

She and Zhao Deyuan secretly discussed that Mrs. Chen's old disease didn't need to be treated in the capital at all, just keep it in Quanzhou City.

Mrs. Chen came over to give her daughter-in-law a dismissal, so that her youngest son would not be bullied.

Chen Wenchang took the old lady over, purely to make the old lady happy, so he didn't care about finding trouble for Xiao Funing.

"The mountain chief thinks that Ji Niangzi must quarrel with him, so he keeps telling the old lady that he will pick her up when he finds a famous doctor who can definitely cure her in the capital."

Xiao Funing sighed,

"But I don't dare to say this to the mountain chief."

Ji Qingchen nodded at that time, saying that she would never suffer such a loss.

It's one thing to be filial, it's another thing for a mother-in-law to deliberately make trouble.

She won't get used to Chen Wenchang.

Xiao Funing's eyes were even more strange when he looked at her.

……

"The official family is smart. It's not that I don't understand what's at stake. ”

Chen Wenchang stroked the strings of the sea ship with his hand, saying that he was in the palace to persuade the official family to drive the royal family.

"The so-called son of a daughter can't sit down. If the official family makes a mistake. The court was shaken, and the people were uneasy. What if Jin Bing takes advantage of the situation to go south? After this palace change. Several elders in the political hall also have the same meaning as the official family. ”

“……”

She couldn't help but admit that it made sense.

Since it is a war, of course, there are winners and losers.

I have to force an emperor who is not familiar with military affairs to go to the expedition in person. Saying that the Northern Expedition is all the work of his leadership, the ministers don't have to worry about the high merit, what if something happens to the emperor?

The new prince is only five years old, and if Zhao Duanning is out of town, there will be another young monarch in Lin'an City.

Isn't the palace change busy in vain?

"What did the mountain chief tell the official?"

She was puzzled.

"I just said, I don't want to marry the lady of the Gan family."

Chen Wenchang is very calm.

Ji Qingchen could only be dumbfounded.

At this time, she felt that Chen Wenchang's ambition was to be a clear stream, which was not without benefits.

“…… Only the mountain chief dared to say this. ”

At least Lou Yun took the official family's money. She took the position of the lady of the country, unless she was playing tricks, she really couldn't say in front of the emperor:

She doesn't allow Lou Yun to take a concubine, the official family, you have to look at the line of sight to test loyalty or something, find another way.

This is not something that the court can say.

Empress Xie must feel that her moral level is not up to standard.

But Qingliu is different.

Chen Wenchang said this sentence to make the official family unhappy, but he has no official position, and the official family will not feel that he has suffered a loss when he comes, and the benefits are given to the white-eyed wolf.

Second, I will feel that he dares to speak out.

If the official family does not dispose of Chen Wenchang, he can still occupy the reputation of "Aishi".

"The official asked me at the time if I could drive the expedition in person."

Chen Wenchang felt that the ministers all remembered Yue Fei's fate. But an official like Zhao Duanning, whose IQ level is up to the standard, doesn't remember the misery of Song Gaozong's escape from the Jin soldiers to the East China Sea.

"What did the mountain chief say?"

"I just said that I am willing to follow the official family."

Ji Qingchen was stunned, and looked at Chen Wenchang's eyes with some weirdness.

Chen Wenchang's answer was too subtle.

"I can't be the master of the government. I don't advance or retreat through the battle formation, and if a scholar like me thinks that the benefits of pro-conscription are more than his suppression of foreign ministers, he can only follow. ”

Chen Wenchang's logic is simple.

"If something happens to him in front of the battle, will we still be able to escape? It's not a deliberate attempt to put him in danger. Whether he goes or not. It's good for him to make up his own mind. ”

The burden in her heart was instantly swept away, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited when she looked at Chen Wenchang.

Such a look made Chen Wenchang laugh.

Just look at it. She refused to give Lou Yun a concubine, and all pointed to him to be this bird.

"You're—"

He shook his head and couldn't help but sigh:

“…… is not as generous as Queen Xie, and she can't always love you. ”

“……”

Ji Qingchen knew that he was right, but no matter how she heard this, she was weak-hearted.

Could it be that Chen Wenchang is complaining, he has endured her a lot, and she doesn't blame him for not being as generous as Queen Xie.

She hesitated slightly, wanting to ask about Xiao Funing.

Why did he send her out of the house so lightly?

Didn't you say that you would be a husband and wife for the rest of your life?

"Mrs. Xiao, she said I don't have her in my heart. Let me send her out of the house to marry another. ”

Chen Wenchang sighed, as if he just said it to himself,

"Maybe I'm not good enough for her......"

When Ji Qingchen heard these words, he was also stunned.

"Xiao Niangzi, she ......"

This Xiao Funing really dares to say.

"Actually, this time, it's my mother who is not good. But if she wants to avoid it, it's not impossible. She didn't even care about Lin Hongzhi and used it. I wondered if she was working hard with me......"

Chen Wenchang muttered a few words to himself.

She couldn't find the words to persuade her.

The matter between Xiao Funing and Mrs. Chen was indeed not handled by Chen Wenchang in the middle.

But now that the world pays attention to filial piety, if you want to deal with this matter well, Xiao Funing should not be virtuous in front of her husband.

She has to be fierce, Chen Wenchang dares to say that she has nothing to do to pick up the old lady, she makes noise every day.

Anyway, I'm not afraid to marry someone else, what don't you dare to quarrel with?

However, Xiao Funing, after all, was unwilling to do this in front of Chen Wenchang.

She likes Chen Wenchang too much.

He finally came to his senses, looked at her, and said:

"You have an old favor in the official family. You must not mention the matter of pro-recruitment, just cry and complain that you are unwilling to take a concubine for the Prime Minister Lou. Even if you offend the queen's family, don't offend the official family. (To be continued......)
