Cheng Yue sat in the seat, saw Kuo Kuolun and Ba Bahan coming down, and hurriedly got up with the three ladies to salute, and said with a smile: "Have you slept enough?" I'm in a hurry to leave, so I have to ask Mrs. Song to wake you up, sorry, sorry. The expression was calm, the complexion was natural, and there was no trace of reluctance.

Kuo Kuolun and Babahan had been staring at his face all the time, but they couldn't help but see anything unusual, and they couldn't help but doubt their own judgment. Is it really him? Or did nothing happen last night?

Kuo Kuolun walked up to Cheng Yue and asked tentatively, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

Cheng Yue said with a smile: "The queen mother really asks questions, and she also asks such private things." Pointing at Mrs. Gu, he said, "Yes, I took Mrs. Gu into the room last night, please don't say it." I don't care, Mrs. Gu doesn't like others to know. ”

Mrs. Gu's cheeks immediately flew with red glow, and she buried her head in the arms of Mrs. Song beside her in shame, and turned Mrs. Song's body over to cover her figure.

Mrs. Gu thought that Empress Kuo Kuolun and Imperial Concubine Ba Ba Han would tease Cheng Yue a few words because of this, but unexpectedly, Kuo Kuo Lun and Ba Ba Han neither congratulated her nor made fun of her, but continued to stare at Cheng Yue with straight eyes and ask questions.

Kuo Kuolun approached Cheng Yue and asked, "Have you been in the house last night?" ”

Cheng Yue said at a loss: "Yes, what's wrong?" My new Mrs. Gu last night liked her so much, I kept sleeping with her, did you lose anything? ”

Hearing this, Kuo Kuolun immediately turned to Mrs. Gu and said, "Mrs. Gu, did Cheng Yue never leave you half a step last night?" Still holding you in the morning? ”

Mrs. Gu was so ashamed that she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, where would she want to answer such a detailed question, but Kuo Kuolun was the queen. She didn't dare not answer. I had to nod my head slightly. But he refused to say a word.

Seeing Mrs. Gu nodding, Kuo Kuolun was suddenly at a loss in his heart, could it really be that he had misunderstood? Is there any other reason for the abnormality of my body?

Cheng Yue said with concern: "Queen Mother, what happened?" Or do you hear something? No outsiders can come in here, but the occasional wild cat or bird is inevitable. ”

Kuo Kuolun waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about this, let's eat." Depressed, he sat down with Babahan to eat.

Cheng Yue smiled slightly, and sat down with the three ladies to have breakfast. During the banquet, he also peeled eggs for five women. I don't know what it tastes like when Kuo Kuolun and Ba Ba Han eat it.

After breakfast, Cheng Yue said goodbye to the three ladies and left. Babahan looked at Cheng Yue's back without saying a word, and the feelings in his eyes were extremely complicated.

Kuo Kuolun sighed: "Sister, are we wrong? Did we misunderstand him? ”

Babahan pondered for a long time, sighed slightly, and said, "Maybe." I'm going to go fishing at the lake, are you going to go? ”

Kuo Kuolun said: "You go, I want to accompany the Queen Mother to farm, today is the day of fertilization." ”

Babahan said with a smile: "We have all become village women, and after Cheng Yue completes the villa in Dadu." We also opened a plot of land there, and every now and then we went over and planted one. Do you think it's good? ”

Kuo Kuolun bit his lip and muttered, "It's him again." ”

Babahan said with a pun: "Of course it's him." ”

Cheng Yue returned to the mansion happily, and Wan Ze greeted him coquettishly. Suddenly noticed that Mrs. Gu's face was flushed, and she seemed to be unconsciously avoiding her gaze, so she pulled Cheng Yue aside angrily and funny, and whispered: "Xianggong, Mrs. Gu has just arrived in Lin'an, what are you anxious about?" ”

Cheng Yue said with embarrassment: "I was in a hurry and couldn't hold back, but anyway, she is my person sooner or later, and it doesn't make much difference if it's earlier or later." ”

Wan Ze stepped lightly on Cheng Yue's feet and said angrily: "If I am not greedy enough, I guessed that it would be like this." This time you got your wish, right? Rou Niang, you have to be careful. ”

Cheng Yue said "um" and said, "Are you extra busy today?" I didn't see Nang Jia Zhen and Ding Niang. ”

Wan Ze said: "Yes, Nangjiazhen and Kutoulun went to train together. Early in the morning, the recital sent is about to flood the house of Dingniang, and all the yamen in various places will be presented to you for ideas, especially the household department, because the day after tomorrow will issue new coins, and there are more than 1,000 related recitals sent up, all of which must be approved one by one, which is really bitter for your women's army. ”

Cheng Yue smiled slightly and said, "Then we will also be busy, can you come to help?" ”

Wan Ze said in surprise: "Can I do it?" ”

Cheng Yue nodded and said, "Okay, you can come, let Qinglian and Pearl come to my study together to listen to the dispatch." The other concubines and palace maids all went to Ding Niang, and Ding Niang distributed them everywhere. They are well-read and can help me with something, isn't that why I came to them? ”

Wan Zexi said: "Yes, I'll go now." ”

Cheng Yue returned to the study, sat on the chair and stretched, looking at Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Song in front of him and smiling contentedly.

Mrs. Song said coquettishly: "The official must be using his brains, he is too busy today, so the official should rest first." Mrs. Gu's face turned red again.

Cheng Yue hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, what I just thought was, if I didn't come here, how could I have such good luck to have a beauty like you?" I just wanted to be secretly happy for a while, and I didn't think about anything else. ”

Mrs. Song approached Cheng Yue, kissed Cheng Yue affectionately, and whispered, "We are the luckiest." ”

Cheng Yue coughed twice vigorously and said with a wry smile: "This time I really started thinking about something else, didn't you say that you were busy today?" ”

Mrs. Song laughed very loudly, and Mrs. Gu was very envious. Although she has committed to Cheng Yue, she can't be as close to Cheng Yue as the two ladies in a short period of time.

The sweet time was very short, and in the blink of an eye, Wan Ze was in front, holding a large bundle of songs. Qinglian and Pearl pushed a small cart in the back, which was also full of notes to be approved, and walked in together. This has already been selected by Dingniang and other concubines, and they are dozens of times more than that.

Wan Ze said happily: "Xianggong, we are here." ”

Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Song hurriedly stepped forward to take the fold from Wan Ze's hand. Cheng Yue smiled: "Good wife, very capable." ”

Wan Ze shook his wrist and said with a smile: "I'm dizzy when I watch the music these days, and I want to ask Xianggong for advice and learn the art of governing the country." ”

Cheng Yue said: "Okay, let's start, Qinglian, Pearl, you are responsible for teleporting back and forth, Wan Ze, Mrs. Song, you are responsible for drafting orders for me, Mrs. Gu, you can obey my orders at any time." ”

The five girls replied yes in unison. Wan Ze handed over the first order, Cheng Yue immediately dictated the order after reading it, Wan Ze memorized it first, and then wrote it down next to it, and at the same time, Mrs. Song had begun to memorize the second order. In this way, the efficiency can be greatly improved, and there is no need for Cheng Yue to write non-stop every day.

After the two finished writing, Qinglian and Pearl sent the orders to the relevant concubines, and they polished the orders, summarized and distributed them to the various ministries and yamen, and Mrs. Gu was responsible for taking care of Cheng Yue and Wan Ze, where they couldn't get busy, they went to help, the work was much smoother than the first day, and they didn't have to be so tired, and the new center of the Great Song Dynasty finally began to operate smoothly.

Within the borders of the Great Song Dynasty, from Xuzhou to Guangzhou, and even as far as Qiongzhou, most of the people have heard that the Metropolitan Governor wants to issue new coins, although the old coins are not invalid, there are still many people who hurry to take out the old coins and spend them, so these days the market is extremely prosperous, and almost all walks of life are very prosperous.

Cheng Yue's Industrial and Commercial Bank of China had already begun to open in the south, and this time it took the opportunity to open a branch in Guangzhou. With the golden sign of the Metropolitan Governor, the Guangzhou branch received a mountain of money, gold and silver alone, as high as more than 1 million taels in ten days.

Quanzhou, which is even more lively than Guangzhou, has three times the size of merchant ships, and together with the shipbuilding industry and the emerging insurance business, the branch there is listed as one of the three major branches of ICBC along with the Suzhou branch and the Lin'an head office. Secondly, the development momentum of Shanghai, Ningbo and other places is also extremely strong, and Shanghai has issued a large number of loans, and countless positions have been transferred from Lin'an.

Su Rong was as well-behaved and gentle as ever in front of Cheng Yue, but outside, she was already a big chaebol known as the "Female God of Wealth", and the wealth in her hands was still above the treasury of the Great Song Dynasty. Cheng Yue's loan of 5 million yuan for road construction was repaid by Su Rong with the money earned from insurance and mortgage business, and the reason why Cheng Yue was able to spend a lot of money before and after the Northern Expedition did not need to blink his eyes, Su Rong made great contributions.

Cheng Yue returned to Lin'an, and Guan Sheng was transferred back from Su Rong's side to deal with the related matters of the household department, and the twenty palace maids carefully selected by Wang and Cheng Yue were sent, plus the maid ring that Su Rong used before, in order to cope with the next business expansion.

On this day, it was the day of the issuance of new currency, and before dawn, a large number of Lin'an people had been seen queuing up at the entrance of the head office and several branches of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, waiting to get the new money as soon as the door opened. I heard that the new money is exquisite and abnormal, and it is incredible, how can anyone not be curious?

An hour after leaving the door, a clerk came out and hung out a table with the exchange standards of various coins and new money, the most valuable can be exchanged for two, and the least valuable can be exchanged for one hundred and twenty for one, which is the same as the exchange price of various coins on the market.

Because the Southern Song Dynasty had just experienced a series of wars with Meng Yuan, there were a lot of friends on the market, most of whom were not sealed by the Lin'an Imperial Court, but were used by local governors to indiscriminately use heavy rewards to boost morale and facilitate the fight against Meng Yuan. Because it is difficult to control the total quantity and quality, the value of Jiaozi continues to plummet, and finally it is roughly equivalent to waste paper, and everyone hopes that there is a stable value of the coin that can prevent their wealth from being lost. After seeing this form, the crowd immediately became commotion, and everyone had more expectations for the new coins, secretly calculating how many new coins they had to exchange.
