Chapter 333: Transformation, Growth
Zheng Yingying looked at Duan Mingyu quietly, his appearance had not changed much, because Duan Mingyu was still in his early twenties, and he could not grow a beard yet, and his chin was very clean.
Now he is a member of the court of the second grade, a member of the provincial peace chapter of the door, a member of the political hall, equivalent to the prime minister of later generations, due to Tian Lingzi's dictatorship, now he can only be regarded as a deputy prime minister, but such a fast promotion speed is really amazing, although it is because he has made a splashing contribution, but there is no lack of seven princes to use the power of the court to fight for him, even for various reasons, he is still the object of ten thousand eyes.
However, even if the official position is high, the title is not inexpensive, and the military power is not small, but he is still only a young man, Duan Mingyu has a pair of bright eyes with a gentle smile. It's just that after experiencing so many lives, his expression and temperament have quietly changed, becoming more confident, more mature, and more sharp. Looking forward to it, his confident and calm feeling made Zheng Yingying feel both cordial and happy.
A man should be like this, strong, wise, and confident in everything under control, but never with the maturity that arrogant, impulsive and reckless young people do not have. If Duan Mingyu initially attracted her was the witty nature of his conversation, his gentleness and kindness.
If Duan Mingyu initially touched her heart because of his infatuation with Dong'er, then what moved her heart at this time was the feeling that he was growing up. Looking at Duan Mingyu at this time, she had a feeling that he was growing up, just like a tree, stretching its branches and leaves, growing vigorously, gradually forming a dense canopy and a thick village trunk, which can shelter from the wind and rain and rely on rest, it is this feeling, just when she is physically and mentally exhausted, but she still has to struggle......
She is a delicate girl, and she has always hated the kind of man who has no eyes and is rough and arrogant, which is why Duan Mingyu's delicacy and gentleness moved her. But her daughter's mind is fickle, and when she sees Duan Mingyu as her man, the perspective of scrutiny has quietly changed, and she needs this man to be strong and confident.
In the past, she was like a heavenly horse on the grassland, reserved and unrestrained, and the man with the lasso was instinctively resisted and avoided by her, but when she belonged to a person and was willing to be his little woman, she hoped that you would have a pair of strong arms, and that you would have a whip that could control the fierce horse.
This change in mood is not difficult to understand, just like when your girlfriend is dating you, she can't wait for you to send a rose to her every day, but when she becomes your wife, except for the best woman who is too loser, most women will change, and I can't wait for you to transform into Grande immediately.
I have to say that Duan Mingyu also gradually called Zheng Yingying's pulse and mastered her subtle psychological changes, he found that his intentional frivolity and teasing, intentional obstruction and blow, although Zheng Yingying often screamed and jumped angrily, but she actually had a feeling of enjoying it...
With continuous growth and continuous transformation, the two people are gradually attracting and reshaping the relationship. He didn't think about these things at all before, he originally just wanted to save a small life under the sword of this demon girl, but after so many ups and downs, after getting along with each other, the relationship between the two became more and more ambiguous, and they fell into love unconsciously.
"Yingying, have a drink?" Duan Mingyu raised his glass, woke up from his contemplation, and called softly. When Zheng Yingying saw his cynical smile, she felt a little hateful, but ...... She didn't hate Duan Mingyu's evil smile at all. She raised her wine glass and touched Duan Mingyu lightly, and when a glass of wine went down, the two pink cheeks overflowed with a touch of red.
This restaurant has been secretly acquired by Duan Mingyu, so the two of them are not afraid that they can't afford to pay for wine, and what they drink is naturally expensive wine, Duan Mingyu will always try his best to make money no matter where he goes, but every time he does business, he will basically get rich to the people and drive the economy of one party, but buying this restaurant called Fuguilou is not to make money, according to him, now he has been able to rank first on the Forbes list with his top assets, and this little money is really irrelevant to him. The main reason for buying this rich building is to facilitate the banquet of dignitaries and dignitaries and discuss related important matters.
The policy of the Tang Dynasty since the founding of the country is like this, the political status of merchants in the Tang Dynasty is very low, the court law strictly stipulates that businessmen are not allowed to be officials, and businessmen are not allowed to intermarry with scholars. You must not exceed the official rank, stand side by side with the wise and gentlemen of the court, sit and eat together." Therefore, the status of merchants is lower than that of ordinary people, and the common people are allowed to serve yellow, and industrial and commercial miscellaneous households are not allowed to serve yellow, and it is forbidden for industry and commerce to ride horses. The private property of merchants was also not protected by law, and the imperial court could confiscate it at will.
For example, in the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, more than 60 pieces of assets were confiscated from Jingzhao merchants. In the third year of construction, "scrape the money of rich businessmen, and those who give out Wanwei borrow the rest to supply all the goods of the merchants in Chang'an, and if they are not true, they will be beaten." People are overwhelmed with suffering, and there are those who are hanged."
The imperial court persecuted the merchants too much, so the merchants inevitably supported the rebellion of the feudal towns against the Tang court, and gained a certain social status, which became the basis for the division of the feudal towns. As a result, for more than 200 years, it has always been that scholars and warriors have valued business, until the Song Dynasty unified the Central Plains, in fact, the phenomenon of suppressing commerce was far less serious than that of the previous dynasty. But the court has become a trend, and after the world is peaceful, God knows that they have learned a lesson and have not followed the Tang law.
Now that the world is in turmoil, ordinary businessmen are naturally not happy, as for the peace of the world, the business of merchants is prosperous, and the kingdoms are lined up in the autumn, and the barriers are important, so it stands to reason that it is the most inappropriate for businessmen, but in fact, merchants were not only highly profitable at that time, but also had a very high social status. Wherever they went, the country treated each other with courtesy and respect.
However, these are very few businessmen who can have enough virtuous energy to make a fortune, and the same is true of all the candidates since the end of the Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties. And businessmen like these former owners of Fuguilou not only have a low status, but also make more and more money to earn, in the case of the army, money, and power in one, even if they are unwilling, they have to obediently hand over the title deed and hand over the restaurant to Duan Mingyu.
As soon as they got drunk this night, Zheng Yingying and Duan Mingyu were both carried back to the Protector's Mansion by the shopkeeper, and they were so drunk that they were unconscious.
