Chapter 130: Smuggling
However, Ning Hong was surprised that he still had some plans for Ning Zhao's marriage, if Ning Zhao was involved with others behind his back, wouldn't his abacus be in vain again?
"Who is it?" Ning Hong couldn't help but ask, frowning unhappily.
Ning Zhao looked at Ning Hong and flatly denied: "My daughter has no sweetheart. ”
Ning Lao Taijun glared at Ning Hong and blamed: "You are so fierce, even if Zhao'er has a sweetheart, she won't dare to tell you!" ”
Ning Hong was said by Mrs. Ning, and his face immediately eased, but he still didn't believe Ning Zhao's words in his heart, and asked, "Ah Zhao really doesn't have a sweetheart?" ”
Mrs. Ning was also curious, turned her head to look at Ning Zhao, Ning Zhao nodded, the blush on her face disappeared, and said sincerely: "There really isn't." ”
Mrs. Ning shook her head in frustration, then laughed again, and said, "Let's not worry, Zhao'er is still young, we can wait slowly, and it is not too late to wait until a wishful husband." ”
Ning Hong immediately agreed and agreed: "Indeed, now that your sister's marriage has been decided, you are still young and not in a hurry, your father will make decisions for you in the marriage event, don't look for someone to be unladylike again." ”
Ning Zhao nodded, thinking to himself, didn't his mother meet someone unladylike and delay her life.
It was rare to see Ning Zhao so well-behaved, Ning Hong felt comfortable, got up and said to Ning Lao Taijun: "Let Ah Zhao accompany you, and my son will retire first if he still has something to do." ”
Mrs. Ning waved her hand, and Ning Hong turned around and strode out of the courtyard.
When only the grandfather and grandson were left in the courtyard, Mrs. Ning looked at Ning Zhao with a smile in her eyes and asked, "Your father has already left, don't you tell your grandmother?" ”
Ning Lao Taijun is really old, Ning Zhao has covered it up so well, and he is still caught this little bit, it is really ......
"Grandmother." Ning Zhao pursed his mouth, grabbed Ning Taijun's arm, and said coquettishly: "What do you want people to say?" ”
"Huh...... Is this shy? Mrs. Ning laughed, touched Ning Zhao's head, and said, "It seems that she really has a sweetheart!" ”
Ning Zhao's bag was tied to Ning Lao Taijun's shoulder and he didn't speak, Ning Lao Taijun dragged the person up and asked, "Tell my grandmother, which son is it?" If so, Grandmother has done this for you. ”
Hearing this, Ning Zhao's eyes lit up, and then quickly dimmed again.
She can't say, at least not Jin Yuan.
Although Mrs. Ning admitted the contract, she still had a problem with Jin Yuan if she couldn't keep it in her heart, and coupled with the relationship between Ning Hong and Jin Yuan, Mrs. Ning, the lord, would definitely not be able to do it.
"Say it." Mrs. Ning urged.
Ning Zhao thought about it, and then smiled: "Where is a sweetheart, it's just a little appreciation, and besides, people don't know anything, I didn't mean that." ”
"You mean people don't know you like him yet?" Mrs. Ning followed her words and understood.
Ning Zhao's cheeks turned red again, and he nodded quickly, and said shyly: "I haven't skimmed the eight characters yet, I don't want to say it yet." ”
Mrs. Ning only thought she was shy, smiled and stroked her hair, and said lovingly: "Okay, okay, grandmother won't ask you anymore, when you decide for yourself, come and tell your grandmother, and then grandmother will go and tell your father." ”
Finally flickered over, Ning Zhao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly nodded at Old Taijun Ning, and said with a smile: "I know, I must tell my grandmother as soon as the time comes." ”
Mrs. Ning loved to see her smile like this, reached out and touched her cheek again, and changed the topic.
The grandfather and grandson have been chatting for a while, the maid who is waiting has already prepared lunch, Ning Lao Taijun left Ning Zhao to finish the meal and then leave, Ning Zhao promised to come down, until the end of lunch, waiting for the old lady to take a nap, Ning Zhao then went back to his yard.
——
The cessation of the fighting at the border is a time for the two sides to recuperate. This time, the soldiers were poor and lacked food, and the people at the border were even more miserable.
The imperial palace was empty, and some people had other thoughts and started the idea of border trade.
"Your Majesty, there are two major ferries south of the Yangtze River near the border with South Vietnam, and the previous two transactions were official ferries."
Jin Yuan stood in the center of the main hall in an official robe, and said to the old emperor on the dragon chair: "However, not long after the war stopped, this section opened a lot of private ferries, and the border lands where materials were purchased at low prices and sold at high prices in order to make huge profits. ”
"Really?" The old emperor sat on the dragon chair in a dragon robe, and when he heard this, his brows furrowed tightly.
When the war was interrupted, it was when the imperial court was weak, and the old emperor didn't expect that someone would be so bold and reckless and dare to grab business with the imperial court!
Jin Yuan closed the fold and handed it to the eunuch in charge.
The eunuch in charge respectfully sent the fold to the old emperor, and the old emperor opened it and looked at it, and was immediately furious.
"How dare these people be so bold! smuggled and traded, and didn't take the imperial court into account at all - Jin Yuan! The old emperor threw down the fold and shouted loudly.
Jin Yuan bowed, "Weichen is here." ”
The old emperor looked at him, and then looked at the first crown prince Murong Cheng, who was standing, and said, "Prince." ”
Murong Cheng stepped forward in response and stood respectfully.
Everyone looked at the two people standing in the center of the hall, and their hearts were like mirrors, and they heard the old emperor say: "The matter of private ferry trade will be entrusted to you two to investigate, I want to see what is so bold as to dare to defy the imperial court!" ”
The two knelt down together and shouted respectfully: "Weichen/Erchen obeys the order and will live up to the emperor's order." ”
After the end of the early dynasty, everyone dispersed, and the prince waited outside the palace until Jin Yuan came out, and Murong Cheng said to him with a smile: "Father and emperor let the two of us investigate this matter, and there will be Lord Lao Jin to mention it in the future." ”
Jin Yuan arched his hand towards Murong Cheng, smiled gently, and said, "The lower officials don't dare." ”
"Hehe......" Murong Cheng smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Jin Yuan's shoulder, and said, "The border trade is a matter of great importance, Lord Jin should not be neglected because of the previous misunderstanding." ”
"The lower officials should do their best to solve problems for the emperor." Jin Yuan lowered his eyes and said lightly.
Murong Cheng looked at him, as if sighing, and said, "It is really a blessing for our court to have a loyal minister like Lord Jin in the imperial court. ”
With that, he withdrew his hand, smiled at Jin Yuan, and turned around to lay down the steps.
Jin Yuan watched Murong Cheng walk away, his eyes were calm, he raised his hand to straighten his robe, and then walked down slowly.
"Smuggling?"
In the backyard of the medical hall, Ning Zhao sat on a rattan chair, making tea in his hand, while reminiscing about his previous life.
This did happen in the previous life, but the time is not the same as now, but the development of things is always variable, and Ning Zhao does not dwell on this.
She poured a full cup of tea and handed it to Jin Yuan opposite, recalled this incident in her mind, and said:
"Although there are no formal procedures for private trade, the imperial court has no clear regulations, and the emperor will leave this matter to you and the prince to deal with, you have to prepare well."
