Chapter 127: Back to Songjiang (I)
In the living room of Aunt Wang's residence in the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce, Wang Jinxuan sat on a chair, her beautiful eyes were red, and tears couldn't stop pouring out. Aunt Wang was sitting next to her and kept sighing, her face full of helplessness. In addition to Aunt Wang's female dependents, Zhou Zhong is also here, but he is now like a headless fly, walking around the living room, and he has no free time at all.
Since the news of Wang Lun's imprisonment came, Zhou Chong didn't want Wang Jinxuan to know, but he didn't expect Bang'er to hear the news in addition, so she hurriedly told Wang Jinxuan about it.
"Brother, don't turn around, my head is dizzy from you, what should we do now?" At this moment, Bang'er suddenly opened her mouth to break the dull atmosphere in the living room, she originally felt a little self-blame in her heart, regretting that she shouldn't have told Wang Jinxuan about it, but now seeing Zhou Zhong constantly walking around the hall, this made her heart even more irritable, and she couldn't help but speak.
After Zhou Zhong heard Bang'er's words, he had to sit on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip of herbal tea to go to the fire and said: "I have already told Uncle Wang before, let him delay as much as possible, and there will be nothing to do in April, but now it is only early March, there is almost a month in the middle, and it will take almost a month from Songjiang to Beijing. ”
When Zhou Zhong was walking back and forth just now, his mind was constantly calculating the time difference between Liu Jin's death and Wang Lun's arrival in Beijing. The time is just right. However, what Zhou Chong was most afraid of was that Liu Jin had not been moved when Wang Lun first arrived in Beijing. If he was executed immediately, it would be too unjust, so he had been thinking about how to delay the time.
"Brother Zhou, can we really save my father?" Hearing Zhou Chong's words, Wang Jinxuan also stopped crying and asked with a concerned face, the pear blossom with the rain on her face made people feel pity at first sight.
"Absolutely, the most important thing now is to stall for time. I've already thought of a few feasible ways to do it, and now I'm going to let people prepare! Zhou Zhong stood up when he said this, there was not much time left for them now, in order to save Wang Lun's life, he might have to risk going back to Songjiang City.
However, just as Zhou Chong was about to turn around and leave, Wang Jinxuan grabbed his arm and asked again: "Brother Zhou, what preparations do you have to make, I wonder if I can help?" ”
Zhou Chong smiled bitterly when he heard this, Wang Jinxuan was a weak woman. And she is a daughter who doesn't know the world, where can she help herself? But Zhou Zhong thought about it. Wang Jinxuan is now ownerless, if she is not allowed to do something, I am afraid it will make her even more uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chong deliberately pondered for a moment, and then said to Wang Jinxuan: "Well, there is one thing I want Jinxuan to help you with, so let's do it, you write a letter to Lord Xu Guanxu, the prefect of Songjiang, in your own name, begging the other party to do us a favor, as for what to help, I will talk to him face to face!" ”
"What, brother, you want to go back to Songjiang?" Hearing Zhou important talking to Xu Guan in person, Bang'er's face immediately changed, the box was discovered by her, so Zhou Zhong didn't hide it from Jinyiwei when he investigated Zhou's mansion, and now when Bang'er heard that Zhou Zheng went back, he was naturally startled, worried that he would meet Jinyiwei and be unfavorable to Zhou Chong.
"Don't worry, it's nothing, this time I will ask the people from the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce to help, they are the head snakes of Songjiang Mansion, with them as cover, no one will know about my return to Songjiang, and I am just talking to Lord Xu about some things, and I will come back as soon as I finish talking, there will be no danger at all!" Zhou Zhong said with a smile.
Wang Jinxuan didn't understand the conversation between Zhou Chong and Bang'er, listening to the meaning of Zhou Chong's words, it seemed that there was any danger for him to return to Songjiang now, but now was not the time to ask, so she didn't ask more, just thinking in her heart how to write a letter to her father's friend Uncle Xu.
Then Zhou Chong comforted Wang Jinxuan a few words, and then immediately rushed to the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce in Nangang District, Xie Lingyun was checking the account book just sent at this time, and when he saw Zhou Chong coming in, he immediately said with a happy face: "Come and see, the soap has been listed in Nanjing, and as soon as it appeared, it was immediately snapped up, I thought that our inventory was enough, but I didn't expect it to be in short supply, and it seems that it can only be sold in limited quantities." ”
Seeing Xie Lingyun's happy appearance, Zhou Chong's heavy mood couldn't help but ease slightly, and he showed a smile at the moment and said: "Nanjing is selling so hot, thanks to Lingyun's preparation before, so that most of the powerful people understand the benefits of soap, otherwise where would others take out a dozen taels of silver to sell a piece of something that I don't know the purpose of?" ”
Zhou Chong's praise is not to please Xie Lingyun, but his own sincerity, before the soap went on the market, Xie Lingyun launched the relationship of the Xie family, sent some soap to some flower boats in Nanjing, and used it by those very famous prostitutes, although the social status of these prostitutes is very low, but the influence is great, and it also leads the fashion trend of the Ming Dynasty.
Needless to say, the cleaning effect of soap is needless to say, after those famous prostitutes use it, it immediately spread through their mouths, and the result is that before the soap goes on the market, it has caused a huge sensation, so just a city, immediately caused a lot of people to rob, speaking of the Ming Dynasty in recent years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, and the domestic people are living very hard, but the number of rich people has not decreased, so a dozen taels of soap is an unattainable sky-high price in the eyes of ordinary people, but for those rich, it is not worth mentioning at all.
Hearing her beloved's praise, Xie Lingyun was even more proud, but she soon noticed that Zhou Chong's expression was different, and she asked a little strangely: "What's the matter, Xianggong, do you have something on your mind?" ”
Zhou Chong didn't hide it after hearing this, only to see him nod and say, "I just got the news, Uncle Wang has been imprisoned." ”
Xie Lingyun is also a smart person, and she also knew that Zhou Zhong was trying to save Wang Lun, so now after hearing that Wang Lun was imprisoned, she thought for a while and said, "What do you want to do, Xianggong, and what do you need my help with?" ”
Now is not the time to be polite, so I saw Zhou Zhong immediately said: "I want to go back to Songjiang immediately, and then go to see Governor Xu, let him maneuver around it, it is best to bribe those who came to escort Uncle Wang, first, let them take care of it on the road, and second, it is best to delay on the road for a few more days, so that when I get to the capital, maybe there will be some variables." ”
Hearing that Zhou Yi returned to Songjiang, Xie Lingyun couldn't help but show a worried look, some time ago, Jinyiwei asked around about Zhou Chong's situation, and there were also some strangers in Songjiang Mansion, although these people suddenly disappeared two days ago, but who knows if they will hide in the dark? It would be terrible if these people found out if they went back in the week.
Thinking of this, Xie Lingyun wanted to persuade Zhou Chong not to go back, but when she met Zhou Chong's resolute gaze, her heart immediately softened, with her understanding of Zhou Chong, whenever he showed such a gaze, he had already made a decision in his heart, and no one could change it.
"Okay, I'll let Aunt Shui and Uncle Hei arrange it now, and they can leave tomorrow morning at the latest, but you also have to promise me that after persuading Prefect Xu, you will come back immediately, and you must not stay in Songjiang City for long!" After the last, Xie Lingyun sighed secretly in her heart and said softly.
"Don't worry, I'm a very timid person, even if there is any danger, I will flee back as soon as possible!" Zhou Zhong saw Xie Lingyun agree, he joked happily, and at the same time reached out and grabbed Xie Lingyun's slender waist, and then kissed her on the face.
Seeing Zhou Zhong so dishonest, Xie Lingyun couldn't help but be ashamed, stretched out two pink fists and gently knocked Zhou Chong's chest, but unfortunately her appearance of refusing to welcome was really Zhou Chong couldn't hold it, lowered her head and gently kissed Xie Lingyun's ruddy lips. Xie Lingyun only struggled symbolically twice, and then gently hugged Zhou Zhong with both hands.
After a suffocating long kiss, Xie Lingyun was completely paralyzed in Zhou Chong's arms, her face was extremely ruddy, and she looked extremely gorgeous and cute. Speaking of since, since they left that desert island, they have never crossed the thunder pool, it's not that they don't want to, but considering the pressure of the world, after all, they haven't finished their marriage, and Zhou Chong still maintains a marriage contract with Wang Jinxuan, so if the matter between the two of them is discovered, it will cause a big blow to their reputation.
It is precisely because of this that when Zhou Zhong and Xie Lingyun get along, they will deliberately control the distance between each other, at most, they will hug and hug to alleviate the pain of lovesickness, but it is the first time that they want to kiss like this today.
"Xianggong, are you really sure that there will be a huge change in the situation between the DPRK and China in April?" Xie Lingyun crouched in Zhou Chong's arms and suddenly asked. Regarding the matter of letting Wang Lun delay time, Zhou Chong naturally did not hide it from Xie Lingyun, but he only said that there would be a big change in the DPRK and China in April, and did not specifically say that Liu Jin was moved down by Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong.
"Well, I can be sure of this matter, so I asked Uncle Wang to delay the time as much as possible, but calculate the time, when he arrived in the capital, it was just April, and I was worried that when he arrived in the capital, this major event had not happened, so it would be too bad!" Zhou Zhong is very sure that the history books of later generations are very clear, and it is absolutely impossible for him to remember wrong.
"Alas, speaking of which, the matter of Master Wang is still caused by my clan uncle, but unfortunately the clan uncle and the officials of Yuyao's lineage are very reluctant to protect themselves, and they can't help at all, I just hope that Li Gong in the court can delay a little longer and let Lord Wang get through this difficulty!" Xie Lingyun said softly at this time. In fact, the reason why she doesn't want Wang Lun to die is also selfish, after all, Zhou Zhong and Wang Jinxuan still have a marriage contract, if Wang Lun dies, with Zhou Chong's temperament, I am afraid it is impossible to divorce Wang Jinxuan again, what should she do then?
