This kind of training every day, without the tension of Tianchengwei, for Nangong Jin, he can do as much as he can think of, and there is no pressure at all, until he receives an invitation from Zhangfu.

However, this time it was not a poetry meeting, but a worship of the Buddha, and it was the Nangong family who was invited. It is specially pointed out that the second son and Li Gongzi must be present. But this sentence made Zhou Tang dissatisfied, all Pingyang knew that the pockmarked girl of the Zhang family couldn't look down on her family, and she didn't go to Miss Zhang to participate in Lord Zhang's poetry meeting. Who knows, the Zhang family will take a fancy to the Zhongnangong family.

However, the meaning of this invitation is more like the Zhang family wants to choose one of the two.

Nangong Jin is not angry, since he knew Zheng Shu's wish, he has the mentality of not letting go of one, and he doesn't think that girl must be ugly, but her appearance is a little ordinary. Li Songran doesn't care even more, anyway, he is studying with the prince.

On the day of the trip, Zhou Tang still stopped Nangong Dingkang and only let Nangong Pu take his two younger brothers to go, which somewhat showed the attitude of the family.

Although Nangong Dingkang didn't arrive, Lord Zhang was not too disappointed, maybe he was used to being rejected, at least the Nangong clan still came to the appointment.

In Nangong Jin's view, worshipping Buddha is what women do, but fortunately, there is a sister-in-law, and Lord Zhang pulls Nangong Pu to talk about the past and the present, leaving him and Li Songran with nothing to do, so they can only wander around in this temple.

Li Songran brought the things he saw and thought of in Huai'an all these times, and Nangong Jin really helped analyze and find ways to solve them, and this long afternoon was not too boring.

"Second son." Xiaoxiao waited not far away for a long time, but she didn't see them stop discussing, so she had to step forward to interrupt the conversation between the two.

Seeing that the two of them stopped and looked at her in unison, they smiled and were a little nervous, and saluted to the two, "Second son, Li Gongzi." ”

"Is there something wrong?" Nangong Jin knew that Hanxiao was ordered by Miss Zhang to come, and she should have made an appointment with him again, thinking that Miss Zhang didn't even dare to raise her head, it was a little funny.

"Can, can you ask the second son a few words?" He lowered his head with a smile, a little embarrassed.

Nangong Jin smiled and asked, "What do you want to ask?" ”

"My young lady asked the second son, but it was a joke?" Xiaoxiao tried her best to pretend to be questioning, but she blushed before she finished speaking.

Nangong Jin was stunned, but Li Songran couldn't help but smile on the side.

"My young lady is not a national beauty, why does the second son still come to worship the Buddha?" Xiaoxiao didn't dare to look at him, and asked with her head down.

This question made Nangong Jin laugh, "There are rumors that I will die soon, is your young lady credible?" ”

Xiaoxiao didn't expect Nangong Jin to ask this, and hesitated and said, "The second son is tough, I don't think I can ...... it."

"Originally, it was all rumors, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became. In my opinion, Miss Zhang doesn't have to look down on herself so much. Nangong Jin said generously.

Hanxiao stood for a while, not knowing what to say, so she had to salute Nangong Jin and said, "Hanxiao retires." ”

When the others walked away, Li Songran finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you serious?" ”

"What?" Nangong Jin was asked inexplicably.

"Is this going to talk about marriage?" Li Songran was afraid that he really didn't understand, so he asked again.

"I've seen them all, and there's nothing wrong with that." Nangong Jin laughed as she spoke, "It's not so fast, the matter of the South China Sea hasn't been dealt with yet, maybe you will go first." ”

This time, the Buddha did not see Miss Zhang Qiongshan again, but two days later, Nangong Jin asked people to send a coral hairpin.

**********

Since Yao Fangwei left Tianchengwei, he went all the way to Shuzhong, and when he arrived in Huguang, he met a scholar who was tall and big, but a little stupid.

This person entered Beijing at the age of thirteen to take the exam, but unfortunately he failed the exam three times in a row. When I returned to my hometown this time, I plan to study hard and take the exam next time. I thought that Pingshui would meet, but who knew that they would go to Chongqing Mansion together. This scholar was a little stupid, and wanted to accompany Yao Fangyu to Luzhou several times, but was finally sent back by Yao Fangyu when he moved out of the 'high hall, not far away'.

From Chongqing to Luzhou, there is no danger on this road. The ancestral home of the Liang family is not difficult to find, however, there are not many Liang family members who stay in the ancestral land, and most of them are old and weak.

When Yao Fangwei handed over Liang Lie's ashes to the Liang family, the entire mansion was immersed in grief. Next, the funeral of the Liang family was held for three days, and Yao Fangyu participated as a righteous daughter until the ashes were stored in the ancestral hall, and then buried after Liang Lie's three sons arrived.

The funeral was over, and although Yao Fangyu didn't know where to go, she also offered to resign.

Before leaving, Liang Lie's cousin took out a package and gave it to Yao Fangyu. said that Liang Lie had confessed that if Yao Fangyu came to Luzhou in person, he would hand over this thing to her, and if he didn't come, he would destroy it five years after his death.

In the package are several account books, well preserved, but the time is not coherent, the earliest is decades old, and it can be seen that it is Liang Lie's handwriting. Yao Fangyu flipped through it casually, it should be Liang Lie's personal account in and out, I didn't understand his intentions, so I didn't read it anymore, maybe it was just to leave her a souvenir.

Now the question is not so much about these ledgers, but where do you go?

Go to Pingyang to borrow 30,000 taels of silver from Nangong Jin? He promised then, but is he still counting? If you borrow it, you can go back to the South China Sea directly, buy yourself, and give Nangong Jin a freedom. And then what? How to return?

Also, my sister is still buried in the South China Sea, is it moving? It shouldn't be necessary, even so, he didn't oppose the South China Sea faction. However, if you can't pay back the 30,000 taels, what's the difference between that and wanting? Even if Nangong Jin gives it, can he take it himself? Or, according to what Dong Run said, find a place to hide like this for the rest of your life, everything has nothing to do with you.

Yao Fangyu walked forward without a goal, the world was vast, and he was finally left alone.

It seems that this loneliness has been with me since I was born, and my father has never seen it, my mother...... I don't remember what it looks like. I only remember my sister, with my little self, and then I am the master.

If you think about it, it seems that when I was a child, Master didn't like himself very much, he liked his sister. At that time, I was always running around alone, and I didn't want to take care of the sisters. Until...... Jia Daoren, Yunmengshan.

A figure floated in front of Yao Fangyu's eyes, standing at the head of the city, and outside was the Tatar army besieging the city. He never seems to be afraid, and there is always a kind of 'big deal' madness. Why didn't he go? It's like in Yunmeng Mountain, he has already left the mine, and for his own sake, he will go back and kill Jia Daoren.

Mine ...... Wait, the mines?

There is a huge sulfur mine in Yunmeng Mountain, although some of it was blown up at the beginning, it should still be there, right?

A thought flashed through Yao Fangyu's mind. Brimstone! Is it possible to exchange sulfur and Nangong for 30,000 taels of silver? However, if it is Yunmeng Mountain, Nangong Jin also knows that this alone is definitely not enough. And the Nangong clan doesn't cultivate immortals, what can this sulfur do? The key is that the price of sulfur is not too high, if it is 30,000 taels of silver, I am afraid that the entire Yunmeng Mountain can be bought. Huoo medicine? The Nangong clan has four halls in the north, and if all of them are made into huo medicine .......

Yao Fangyu smiled, now that she has nothing, it is better to occupy Yunmeng Mountain first. In short, no matter what, you can't let Nangong Jinbai give 30,000 taels of silver.

**********

It has been several days since the incense of the Zhang family, and the big table in Nangong Jin's room is full of all kinds of materials, all of which are from Huai'an.

In just a few days, Li Songran collected all the information according to Nangong Jin's requirements, but Nangong Jin had been staring at this pile of things for two days.

If he just collects all kinds of rents, Li Dashao will not starve to death in his life. However, since he took over his own business, in addition to the cooperation with Quanzhou, there are three other businesses, which were introduced by the eldest brother. All these four pieces will not be lost, especially most of the business in Quanzhou is presided over by Wu Xinzai, but he doesn't make much money. Especially after he proposed to cut off the freight cooperation with Huai'an for the long term, Wu Xin did not stop, but reduced the original scale, and opened some other businesses to cooperate with Huai'an. From this point of view, Wu Xin seems to know Li Songran's difficulties better than him.

Looking at the three businesses introduced by the eldest brother, one is Yanyin, which allowed Songran to participate in the shares. One is grain and rice, which should be said to be a derivation of salt, Songran collected grain in Huai'an, and the rest was handed over to the Nangong clan's closest hall to Huai'an. The last door was to let Song Ran be responsible for the freight from Huai'an to the capital, which was obviously squeezed out by Nangong Pu.

To be honest, Li Songran really didn't do much, and Huai'an's family property has been running according to the original trajectory. Other, alas, .......

In Nangong Jin's room, the two of them had been silent for a long time.

"Why don't you get married? It doesn't have to be me first, right? Nangong Jin looked at Li Songran, who had been sitting silently next to him, and suddenly asked.

Li Songran was stunned, he didn't think he would ask this, "How do you ask this?" The face was reluctant to answer, "Anyway, you didn't get married." ”

"I think Miss Zhang is good." Nangong Jin smiled indifferently, "What about you?" Who do you think is good? ”

Li Songran was stunned by his question, and after a while, he pointed to the information on the table and reminded: "Aren't we looking at these?" ”

Nangong Jin didn't hear it, found another topic, and said with a smile: "I really like cooking." I've been wondering if I should open a restaurant by myself, but if I didn't have the capital, maybe I would have opened it sooner. Uncle Meng said that my skills are good, not bragging, and there are a few big dishes, at least better than the restaurants in Yanzhou. What about you? Like what? ”

Li Songran also laughed, probably he couldn't figure out what to do. So, his eyes drifted to a glass in the corner, "You haven't used it, and you put the dust?" ”

Nangong Jin followed his line of sight and patted his head, "I've thought about using it to make tea." As he spoke, he got up and took the glass, carefully wiped it with his sleeve, and looked at it for a long time, "Your workshop is in Pingyang?" ”

"Yes." Li Songran nodded.

"Still on?"

Li Songran shook his head expressionlessly, "It's closed early." ”

"It looks like a lot of fun." Nangong Jin seemed to be very interested, and asked with a smile: "Did Huai'an get it?" ”
