PS: Zheng Lingling's appearance is to bring out this chapter, I often wonder if it weren't for the Qing Dynasty's seclusion and seclusion, wouldn't it have been so miserable in the last years of the Qing Dynasty.

I can't change the fact that the Old Summer Palace was burned down to a few pillars, and how many treasures were snatched away and scattered overseas, but there will never be such a thing in my pen.

Well, a few words of nonsense.

"You weren't going to tell me, were you?"

Zheng Lingling pursed her lips and lowered her head, and her voice was lower, "If I can't stay in the pavilion, I won't say it, I don't know my cousin's temperament very well, but he doesn't like the Zheng family for sure, otherwise he won't ignore it for many years, as long as the Zheng family has done too much, my cousin will definitely teach them a lesson, even if I get married, I will be happy to have been in it for the rest of my life, and my cousin can be regarded as indirectly avenging me." ”

"You don't like the Zheng family."

"Yes, I don't deny it." Zheng Lingling twisted her fingers, and blurted out many things that had not been said to anyone, "My father is obviously the second son of the Zheng family, and my brother is obviously more competitive than several in the long house, but my grandfather and grandmother never see it, and the eccentric long house is taken for granted, my father has no status in the family, the elder brother is suppressed, the younger brother is bullied, and my mother is trampled on without dignity during the concubine, I remember that before I conceived my younger brother, my mother also had a child, and my mother didn't dare to say it to my father, for fear that my father would cause trouble impulsively, so she only told me." ”

Unconsciously, Zheng Lingling burst into tears, "My mother was deliberately pushed to the ground by my aunt and fell to the ground before the child was shed, but the other party sued the wicked person first, saying that my mother would not go." She fell so tired that she also fell, my mother was so angry that she was seriously ill, and she could barely get up after lying in bed for three months, my surname is Zheng, and I have been tied to the Zheng family all my life, which cannot be changed, but if I can marry a better family, maybe I can help my mother's family, my father is impulsive, and my mother is weak. The elder brother was suppressed by the long house. Don't hide it from my cousin-in-law, my younger brother has always been in my discipline, I believe, as long as they are given a chance. They will definitely have a bright future. Only then can we have a good life. So this time, knowing that Daddy Lu Dao was calculated, I still came to the pavilion with the plan, and I couldn't help it. My cousin is my only hope......"

As she spoke, Zheng Lingling knelt down in front of Xia Hanqiu, "Cousin-in-law, no, princess Niangniang, you help me, help our family." ”

Xia Hanqiu is not a hard-hearted person, seeing a flower-like girl crying in front of her, her heart has softened, if she hadn't always followed the principles of dealing with it, I am afraid that she would have already opened her mouth and agreed.

Sighing, Xia Hanqiu personally helped the person up, "It's not that your cousin doesn't miss the old love, it's just that the Zheng family has done too much to hurt his heart in some things, and the Zheng family really doesn't treat him with affection, you haven't recovered yet, go back and rest first, I'll mention this matter to him, but I can't give you any guarantees." ”

Zheng Lingling couldn't help but be overjoyed, tears fell again, she wiped them in a hurry, and explained embarrassedly: "I usually don't have so many tears, and tears are superfluous in such a family, which will only attract their bullying even more." ”

"I understand, I've been in that environment." Handing over his silk handkerchief, Xia Hanqiu seemed to see himself who had been thinking hard back then, "I have more free time to read books, broaden my horizons, and maybe I can walk out of a way without asking others." ”

Is it like you? Zheng Lingling held back this sentence, she thought she was a little smart, but she was self-aware, even if she was given a chance to do it again, she couldn't do it like her cousin-in-law.

She somewhat understood why her cousin didn't even look at the woman next to her, and the one he had now was already beyond the reach of the world.

As soon as Zheng Lingling left, Duan Ziyi walked out of the room, his face calm, as if he hadn't heard anything just now.

But there is only a wall between the inside and the outside, and how can it not be heard.

Xia Hanqiu pressed this matter first, and talked to Duan Baiyu about the incident mentioned by Zheng Lingling, "Nanling used to be your imperial uncle's fiefdom, where it was by the sea, and once Yang Lao saved someone, saying that the descendants of the people who came out of this place many years ago came back to find their roots, but the dynasty has changed here, and the old address they remember is difficult to find, and later Yang Lao helped solve this matter."

They are businessmen, coming back to find their roots is naturally one of the reasons, but the two places are far apart, to find business opportunities is also their purpose, Yang Lao will naturally not let go of this opportunity, the past few years of the war, the cost is very huge, if it is not for the profits brought by this merchant ship every year in the past few years, we are afraid that the silver we prepared has already bottomed out, this matter has always been in charge of Yang Lao, but Yang Lao is old, every year this run is not easy, although there are a few people to help, but in the end can not be alone, Bai Yu, If you have a trustworthy person who can't be sent to Yang Lao, this trade route will always be handed over to you in the future. ”

Duan Baiyu also knew a little bit about this matter, but he didn't expect it to play such a big role, and these days were enough for him to know how much the military consumption of the Dao Dao would need every year.

Such a way to make money, he naturally wanted to grasp it in his hands, but this trade route was opened up by Uncle Huang's people, if he took over, wouldn't he pick ripe peaches without doing anything?

"I still have some side plans." Seeing that Duan Baiyu was silent, Xia Hanqiu didn't know what he was worried about, and continued: "I asked Yang Lao to ask the other party to bring some extra seeds and other things over there every year, and I have been trying to plant them, but they have had little effect, I think maybe the water and soil climate in this place of Huiting is not suitable, and when the world is stable, the world's talents will be used by you, and there may not be no specialization in agricultural affairs. I have other ideas. ”

Xia Hanqiu paused, his gaze swept from Chang Zhi's body, and fell back to Bai Yu, "Even the most prosperous Wu Dynasty in history has just unified this continent, but this world is far more than this continent, the other end of the sea may be a weak and small country, or it may be a big country that is far stronger than the Wu Dynasty back then, and now their merchant ships can find this place and communicate with us, maybe in the future, there will be an army coming from the other end of the sea, landing from a certain coast, and invading my Daliang, Bai Yu, What's the first thing that comes to your mind right now? ”

Duan Baiyu blurted out without thinking, "The mouth of the coast has been sealed and the communication has been cut off." ”

Xia Hanqiu smiled bitterly, the memory of her previous life was enough for her to know the dangers of closing the country to the Dao, but it was not only the Qing Dynasty that would make such a decision, it was here that Bai Yu was still smart and brainy and made such a decision.

"This can be protected for a while, but have you ever thought about the future?" Although Xia Hanqiu was a little disappointed that Bai Yu would think so, she didn't mean to blame, if she didn't have the memory of her previous life, she would definitely think so.

"No one knows how big the world is outside the road, and what can be known now is the country represented by the merchant ships that come here, but how do you know that there will be only this one? I asked Yang Lao to ask each other, and they said that as far as they knew, there were three other countries, and they had all been there, and two of the three countries were connected with them, and the other country was not allowed to get close to them, you see, not to mention the others, there were three countries that established exchanges, and they would progress together ideologically and economically, while the other country chose to isolate itself from the outside world, and they would not know what the development of the outside world had become, and they would not understand the future development trend of this world, let alone absorb the techniques of other countries for their own use. Over time, who do you think will be the one who will be eliminated? ”

Duan Baiyu's face turned pale, he never thought that things could be thought like this!

But as my aunt said, if he is closed off and other countries are making progress together, wouldn't the Great Liang ......

"Auntie, I'...... I ......"

"Don't look like this, you haven't done anything wrong, and the powerful Wu Dynasty in history hasn't taken a step out, not to mention that you haven't reached the crown yet, and there are places to learn."

Xia Hanqiu's comfort made Duan Baiyu feel more comfortable, and turned to look at Uncle Huang, "If it was Uncle Huang, what would you do?" ”

Duan Ziyi raised his eyebrows, "Do you really want to know the Dao?" ”

Duan Baiyu gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes." ”

"I'd like to go to the other side of the sea to have a look, and I'll hit someone else's idea before I know that someone else might be a big deal." Seeing his depressed expression, Duan Ziyi was in a good mood, "What are you comparing to me, I have traveled all over the ten countries in the world at your age, and I don't know how many adventures I have experienced, you ask Mingde how many times he has saved my life." ”

Mingde looked at his nose and nose, and when he didn't hear it, the prince thought that it was a good memory, and he didn't remember it again until he died.

Duan Baiyu was a little frustrated in his heart, he was really far behind.

"It's not a matter of urgency, maybe nothing will happen in a hundred years, but Bai Yu, I hope you keep this matter in your heart, even your children and grandchildren need to remember to guard against people on the other side of the sea, it is always good to be prepared."

"Auntie, don't worry, I remember."

Xia Hanqiu smiled with relief, "Don't be scared by me, you will cut off that trade route when you turn around, use them well, they are your best eyeliner." ”

"I understand."

This matter has been in Xia Hanqiu's heart for a while, and when he took advantage of the situation to say it, his heart was a little lighter, and he turned to talk about Zheng Lingling, "In other words, are you going to take a hand?" ”

"You are soft-hearted, if I don't save you when I die, I won't be treated as a cold-blooded and ruthless person." Just now I saw Qiu'er's vision, and in the blink of an eye, I talked about such a trivial matter, Duan Ziyi thought it was quite interesting, "I thought of a suitable person." ”

"Who?"

"Longbow."

Xia Hanqiu thought about it and felt that these two people were really suitable, "I heard that Mrs. Yu is so anxious about his marriage that she wants his brother to marry on his behalf, but the Zheng family is ......."

If the Yu family is a relative like the Zheng family, I am afraid that they will not be happy, but they dare not disobey, Yu Longbow is a descendant of the exchange, is it really good to lose him so much?

"Irrelevant people have to be thrown off." Duan Ziyi sneered, "You really think of me as a clay man, Mingde, you pick a proper person to go to Nanling, separate the second room of the Zheng family and move it to the pavilion, and ask the people over there to watch it, if the rest of the Zheng family dares to take a step out of Nanling, break their legs and throw them back." ”

"Yes, lord." (To be continued......)
