Chapter 821: Chu State's Letter [22/23]

At the end of the third year of Dingyuan, Jingshi was really not calm.

The prince rebelled, the slaughter was assassinated, this kind of thing, Jingshi has not happened for decades, in the past two years, the national strength of the Chen State has been thriving, the south of the Yangtze River is flat, the grassland is stable, and the unstable factors at home and abroad have gradually become stable.

Even His Majesty has to sacrifice to the heavens to show merit, which shows that Chen Guo is thriving and thriving, but what happened one after another was like a slap in the face.

These days, a lot of people have died in Jingshi, and the entrance of the largest vegetable market in the city has always been filled with a faint blood gas, which can't be washed away.

When the people looked up at the sky, they would even feel that there were countless souls floating in the sky of Jingshi.

However, the people are forgetful, and the New Year is approaching, which is a great event for everyone, especially after the time enters the wax moon, the entire Jingshi begins to recover and boil.

In the past half a month, the household department has counted all the population of the Western Regions in Beijing, whether they are slaves and maidservants in large families, or pet concubines in powerful families, as long as they are willing, they can regain their freedom, be escorted by the imperial court, and return to the Western Regions.

This matter was carried out under the pressure of many small countries in the Western Regions, and the powerful and wealthy businessmen in Beijing were very cooperative, and there were few voices of opposition.

At first, there were voices of opposition, but then the guards raided the houses, and no one objected.

His Majesty has been very murderous recently, especially after King Kang's rebellion and the assassination of the right, this is something that everyone can see, in the past two years, the powerful families in Beijing have decreased by nearly thirty percent, and the remaining families have also sensed the danger, and they dare not have any disobedience.

Of course, some people from the Western Regions, most of whom are women from the Western Regions, have a very nourishing life in Beijing, and they are not willing to change their current lives and are willing to stay in Beijing, and the imperial court is not reluctant.

During this time, the number of times Emperor Chen went to court was significantly less, and the number of excerpts sent by Shangshu Province every day was also reduced again and again.

This increased the difficulty of the work of Shangshu Province, Tang Ning spent every day in a busy situation, after this year, there was only less than half a year left before the three-year period.

It was at this time that Tang Ning received a letter from Li Tianlan.

The content of the letter surprised him, Xiaoxiao and the old beggar actually arrived in Chu State, and they also met her, and they are now living in the original Xinwang Mansion, which is also the current Eldest Princess's Mansion.

It was only now that Tang Ning understood the reason why the old beggar and Xiao Xiao had not heard from him for so long.

She wrote this letter to invite Xiaoru and Xiaoyi to go to Chu as guests, although the letter did not say it, but Tang Ning knew very well that she was reminding him that their three-year period was approaching.

It is undoubtedly the most suitable choice to let Xiaoru and Xiaoyi go to Chu State now, because it will be less than half a year, or more than a year, and Tang Ning will also leave Chen State.

All he has to do now is to wait for Su Mei to come back, and then take them and Zhao Man to leave together.

There are two places that are absolutely safe for him.

The first is the grassland, and the second is the state of Chu.

He has already begun to lay out in the grassland, where there are little brute girls, who can let him leave all his worries behind.

Although Li Tianlan can't cover the sky with one hand in the Chu State, as the eldest princess, she will not be bullied if she is as small as she is in the past.

Maybe they can stay in Chu State for a while, and then go to the grassland together, after all, the matter of the father-in-law of Chu State has not been resolved, and he will definitely go to Chu State in the future.

Tang Ning had almost finalized this plan, but he didn't expect to be opposed by Xiaoru and Xiaoyi.

"Where the husband is, the concubine will be there." Zhong Yi looked at him and said, "Let's go together, stay together." ”

Although Su Ru didn't speak, she held Zhongyi's hand and motioned for her to stand on Zhongyi's side.

"Okay then......" They disagreed, and Downing could only compromise temporarily.

Anyway, it's still early, and it's not too late to wait for this year.

It's just that this letter from the State of Chu still deeply reminded him that the day when they left was not far off.

Tang Ning has already begun to let Tang Yaoyao deal with the business in Jingshi, Jingshi is different from other places, doing business here, you need to have an extremely large background, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch, otherwise after they leave, Jingshi's business is in trouble, Tang Ning simply asked her to gradually withdraw Jingshi's business to other states, although this will lose part of the profits, but also avoid the trouble that may be encountered in the future.

After eating, Tang Ning came to Xiao Ru's room, saw her alone in the room, and slowly closed the door.

When Su Ru heard the voice, she glanced back, her face turned red, and she lowered her head and said, "Brother Xiao Ning, it's still daytime......"

"Where do you want to go......" Tang Ning walked over, nodded on her forehead, and said, "I'm here to talk to you about serious things......

Su Ru looked at him and said, "I can't persuade my sister." ”

Tang Ning was surprised: "How do you know I'm going to say this?" ”

Su Ru said: "What Brother Xiao Ning thinks in his heart, I'll just look at you." ”

It seems that it is impossible to develop Su Ru into a traitor, this matter can only be discussed in the long run, Tang Ning looked at her, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Then guess what, what do I want to do now?" ”

Su Ru looked up at him, and her face immediately turned red......

……

Mr. Lao She said that a girl's blush is better than a long dialogue.

The premise of this sentence is that girls don't apply powder, if they put a thick layer of powder on their faces, and then apply a layer of rouge, the devil will know if they blush or not.

The pursuit of rouge by the women of Jingshi is no different from the women who loved cosmetics in later generations.

The Tang family has several rouge shops in Beijing, and the business is very hot, and the rouge produced by Tang Renzhai has always been in short supply.

However, even if this business is hugely profitable, Tang Ning still has to sell these shops out to prepare for leaving Jingshi in the future.

Of the five rouge shops, four have been plated out, and there is still one left, and the other party can't eat it.

Tang Ning sat in the back hall, drank a cup of tea, and was about to leave when he heard a familiar voice from the front.

"How do you sell this box of rouge?"

Tang Ning stood up and walked out, and saw the county lord of Anyang talking to the shopping guide girl in the rouge shop.

Tang Ning greeted her and said, "Qiao, county lord." ”

The county lord of Anyang looked at him and asked, "You are a big man, what are you doing in the rouge shop?" ”

Tang Ning glanced at her and said, "This rouge shop was originally our family, why can't I come?" ”

The county lord of Anyang looked up and saw the plaque of Tang Renzhai, so he said, "I almost forgot, half of the shops on this street are yours." ”

"Wrap this up for me first." She said a word to the little girl, then looked at the maid behind her, and said, "Feng'er, pay." ”

Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll send it to the county lord." ”

"In that case...... "The county lord of Anyang looked at him and said, "Then I will have to pick a few more boxes." ”

Tang Ning looked at her and said, "What I just said is this shop, and the county lord can pick a few boxes if he wants to." ”

Tang Ning is a person who repays the grace of a drop of water, the county lord of Anyang helped him twice, Tang Ning remembered this love, and the 10,000 taels of silver and this shop should be his reward for her.

The county lord of Anyang was stunned, and only after a moment did he look at him and ask, "Do you have something to ask me?" ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "No." ”

The county lord of Anyang thought about it, as if he realized something, took two steps back, looked at him and said, "You are not the type I like, we can't ......"
