The prosperity of Nanhai County benefited from maritime trade, and the obstacles of thousands of mountains and rivers in the north made land transportation particularly difficult, but Nanyang County is the mouth of the Xijiang River, which made Nanyang County occupy the most unique geographical location in the Lingnan area, coupled with the prosperous overseas trade of the Daning Dynasty, Nanyang County became the commercial center of the entire Lingnan region.

Nanhai County is Panyu County, half of the population of the entire county is living on overseas trade, relying on more than a dozen large commercial houses specializing in overseas trade, Xinlong Commercial Bank is the leader of these dozen trading firms, with hundreds of ships and nearly 10,000 sailors, but its background is very mysterious, some people speculate that its background may be related to the royal family of Beijing, because its chief steward is a middle-aged man with a Beijing accent.

The chief steward is surnamed Shen, called Shen Hongyi, his real identity is the brother of Uncle Shen, the entire Xinlong Commercial Bank is also invested by Uncle Shen, it has been eight years, Uncle Shen just wanted to use it to make money at the earliest, after all, the Emperor of Nanyang County is far away, and it is difficult for the imperial court to know that its background is his Uncle Shen, but with the decision of the King of Chu to take the heir, Uncle Shen changed its use, and Xinlong Commercial House became the third cave in the three caves of Uncle Shen's cunning rabbit.

During this time, Shen Hongyi was very unhappy in his heart, three months ago, the Qi family relied on the relationship between the emperor and the emperor, and opened the Qi Ruifu Commercial Bank and Qi Dafu Qian Zhuang in Panyu County, they used 500 second-hand sea ships bought from the army, established a huge maritime trade caravan, and took Panyu as a transit to continuously transport the grain from Linyi and Lingnan to Qizhou, basically monopolizing the grain trade in Nanhai County, and the grain trade has always been the main source of profit for the Xinlong Commercial Bank.

Although Shen Hongyi was very unhappy in his heart, he still had to endure this tone, two months ago Shen Qiwu, the son of Shen Guo's uncle, came to Nanyang County, so that Shen Hongyi knew that the situation in the north was not good now, and they had to keep a low profile and forbearance, and they could not have problems in the last period of time.

Xinlong Commercial Bank is very calm, and in the past two months, they have been purchasing a large number of materials, various daily necessities, tools and appliances in Lingnan and Chuzhou, and shipping them overseas in large quantities.

On the morning of this day, a large sea ship slowly sailed into the port of Panyu County, and there was a young and slender man standing on the side of the ship, this person is Shen Guo's most beloved third son Shen Qiwu, Shen Guo's uncle has six sons, in fact, the first three are born to the original wife, the eldest son Shen Qiyun, the second son Shen Qiyuan, and the third is Shen Qiwu.

A few months of life in the south made Shen Qiwu dark and thin, but he was full of spirit, he came from Jiuzhen County, during this time he had been running back and forth between Beihai County, Jiuzhen County and Nanhai County, this time, as usual, he came to Nanhai County to escort a batch of goods.

Shen Qiwu is now renamed Zhao Wu, his mother's surname is Zhao, except for his uncle Shen Hongyi in Nanhai County, no one knows him, let alone knows his identity, he never changes his face, everyone calls him Zhao Sangongzi.

The boat stopped on the pier, and the director of the ship stepped forward and said with a smile: "Third son, let's go eat first after going ashore!" When everyone thought of Baiwei Restaurant, they were all panicking. ”

Shen Qiwu smiled, "Let's go eat!" I'll go to the trading house first, anyway, remember, we'll go back the afternoon after tomorrow, so let's not play and forget. ”

"Don't worry, the third son! I've explained it all, and you won't forget it. ”

The ship's board was put on the embankment, and the sailors got off the boat, talking and laughing and laughing and went to Baiwei Tower, two miles away, and Shen Qiwu led his horse to get off the ship, he went to Xinlong Trading House, this time he wanted to transport away five thousand tents, I don't know if the goods have been prepared.

Xinlong Commercial Bank has three large warehouses at the wharf, but the headquarters of the commercial bank is in the city, Shen Qiwu's horses have also experienced a long voyage, and they have not fully adapted to the land for a while, he slowed down his horse, walked slowly, and walked out of the dock, Panyu County is hundreds of steps away, but Shen Qiwu didn't know that he had been targeted.

After walking more than a hundred steps, a team of more than 100 soldiers ran towards him, Shen Qiwu hurriedly dodged to make way, but when the soldiers passed by him, they suddenly launched and threw Shen Qiwu and his two followers to the ground.

Shen Qiwu struggled desperately and shouted: "I didn't violate the king's law, why are you arresting people?" ”

Where would the soldiers reason with him, tied him up, gagged him and threw him into a carriage, which sped away.

After a while, the carriage drove into a military camp, and the soldiers carried him into a house, at this time Shen Qiwu guessed a few points in his heart, his identity must have been exposed, but who would know him here?

But before he could react, he saw a middle-aged man in the room, and he was stunned for a moment, "It's you!" ”

"What a coincidence! Shen County Order, let's meet again. ”

The middle-aged man smiled, he is the fourth leader of the Qi family, Qi Huan, he was ordered to come to Panyu to prepare for the establishment of Qi Ruifu Commercial Bank and Qi Dafu Money Village, a month ago, one of his stewards recognized Shen Qiwu, Shen Qiwu was the county magistrate of Jiangning County in the past, and many people knew him.

The Qi family immediately used a pigeon letter to transmit this information to Luo Jing, and five days ago, Luo Jing sent back an order from Huangfu Wujin to arrest Shen Qiwu and seize the entire Xinlong Trading House.

Shen Qiwu seemed to step on the air, his face turned pale, he knew that something bad was coming...... Shen Qiwu was arrested, and the Guangzhou Governor's Office issued an order to immediately seize the Xinlong Commercial Bank and arrest all the key personnel.

Groups of soldiers ran on the wharf, one after another military ships sailed into the sea, more than 400 cargo ships moored in the port and the sea were all detained, and more than 300 backbone members of the Xinlong Commercial Bank were arrested.

The accident of Xinlong Commercial Bank caused an uproar inside and outside Panyu County, and all kinds of news were brought to Luojing and Shuzhou in the Central Plains by Feige.

Soon after, a similar arrest occurred at the Xinlong Commercial Bank in Hepu County, Beihai County.

........ Luojing, the night is quietly falling, tonight is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Luojing is the sea of lights, although it can not be compared with last year's grand occasion, but the Luojing Imperial Court in order to heal the war wounds of Luojing, specially transferred 150,000 lanterns from all over the country, coupled with the support of major commercial houses and shops, on the night of Shangyuan, there are 200,000 lanterns on the streets of Luojing, especially on both sides of Luoshui, 100,000 lanterns are bright and practiced, tourists on both sides of the strait are like weaving, hundreds of thousands of people help the old and the young to watch the lanterns on the street.

In front of the palace of the king of Lanling County, there was another kind of liveliness, with more than 20 carriages parked, and nearly 1,000 cavalry lined up to guard both sides of the carriage.

The palace is extremely busy, the family of Huangfu Wujin will officially move into the palace, since a few days ago, Huangfu Wujin's family has begun to move one after another, all kinds of things have moved over first, tonight is the day when their family stays in the palace.

Su Han walked around the various rooms, although she didn't live here for a long time, she had a little nostalgia, she sighed, although she didn't like the palace, but this was not something she could decide.

"Big sister, I feel like the little guy in my stomach is kicking me."

Qi Fengwu walked with a big belly and walked hard, Ah Qiao carefully helped her, Qi Fengwu has been very distressed, counting, she should have given birth at the beginning of the month, but today is fifteen, she has not given birth yet, which makes her feel uneasy, I don't know what happened?

Su Han held her and smiled slightly: "It's okay, didn't the imperial doctor say it?" You are not right, and Heilan checked it for you last night, the child is normal, don't worry too much, go to the palace to recuperate, I guess it's been a few days. ”

Here Yu Hailan walked quickly, "Sister, the time has come, it's time to go." ”

"Let's go!"

Su Han took a long breath and smiled at everyone: "Don't think too much, just when we are moving into a new house." ”

The maids gathered a few housewives out of the mansion, everyone got into the carriage, at this time, the princess of Lanling sent out, wanting them to wave goodbye, "Jiutian, you take care all the way!" ”

"We will, and Grandmother will come to see us often."

Everyone said goodbye, the carriage started, the speed was not fast, and slowly drove towards the direction of the palace, more than a thousand guards guarded on both sides of the carriage, slowly walking.

Su Han and her sisters sat in a wide carriage together, two nurses each held a child and sat in the back row, by the window, Su Han silently looked at the brilliant lights outside the window, listening to the laughter outside the window, she had an indescribable loss in her heart, as soon as she entered the palace gate as deep as the sea, and then wanted to walk in the lamp market like a commoner, and then wanted to buy a lantern, and experience the joy of carrying it in her hands and walking through the crowd, although it was impossible for her to be the queen and the mother of the world, and be admired by all the people, has the identity that every woman dreams of, but she feels that she has also lost a lot, and sometimes, she misses reading in the small bookstore in Weiyang County, the spring afternoon, the warm sunshine, the little Taoist priest of Laoshan who made her laugh, will never come back.

Jing Niang is a different taste, she sat opposite Su Han, her heart was nervous and expectant, she never dreamed that she could become a princess one day, she was originally just a lowly music girl, she just didn't want to be poor anymore, thinking about saving her uncle and aunt, so she resolutely threw herself into Huangfu Wujin, she seized an opportunity, but her whole life has undergone earth-shaking changes, she was very scared in her heart, she didn't know if she could adapt to the new identity and life.

The calmest of all was Yu Hailan, although she knew where to go? But for her, even if it is a thatched hut or a forest house, she will never abandon the emperor, what she wants is not identity, but a family, a husband who cares about her and loves her, and she also expects that after the beginning of spring, she can also conceive her own child....... The carriage had already passed Luoshui and slowly drove into the end gate, which was the gate of the palace, when the carriage rested on a stone, and the body shook violently.

Feng Wu: 'Oops! Covering her stomach, the sudden pain almost made her faint, beads of sweat ran down her forehead, everyone was frightened, and they supported her together, "Feng Wu, what's the matter?" ”

"My lower abdomen hurts terribly!" Feng Wu was so hurt that she couldn't speak.

Yu Hailan hurriedly asked, "What kind of pain is it?" ”

"Burst and burst.... For a while"

Everyone understood that Feng Wu was about to give birth, and Su Han hurriedly said, "Quick!" Go and call the midwife. ”

The two midwives were in a car behind, and Ah Qiao jumped out of the carriage and ran forward, "Grandma Wang, Grandma Li, come quickly!" ”

Jing Niang moved quickly, she hurriedly hung up the night pearl lamp, the carriage suddenly lit up, everyone got off the car, and several eunuchs waiting at the gate of the palace heard that Er Niangniang was about to give birth, so frightened that they hurriedly sent someone to bring hot water.

Half an hour later, a baby's cry sounded in a tower next to the gate.

The midwife shouted the good news: "Congratulations to the princess, she is a daughter!" ”
