Chapter 65: Happy Events
"Okay, you Han Rui! Daring! How dare you knock me out! In a light boat, Zhao Yan scolded Han Rui angrily.
This dog minion! Sneak up on him from behind! Smuggle him onto the boat! What a lawlessness!
"Young master, it's also a helpless thing to do! If we don't leave, the city lord will burst the embankment on a whim, and when the time comes, the city will be flooded, and we will all die here! My death is small, if the young master is folded here, it will be an irreparable loss to the foundation of the Zhao family! Please also take care of your body! When he won Dragon City one day, what kind of woman did he want? Why only care about a fragrant girl! Han Rui poured out his heart and lungs to advise, for him, there is no comparison between women and great causes.
Zhao Yan asked coldly, "Commander Han, do you have a wife?" He agrees with Han Rui's words very much, the country and the beauty, he naturally chooses the country! But the country and the people who make themselves tempted! He couldn't make a choice for a while? Why do you think you're attracted to that girl? I've only seen it twice!
"Yes!" The young master asked, Han Rui naturally wanted to answer, he was not confused, his four sons were all over ten years old, and in a few years, he would also go to the battlefield to establish meritorious deeds!
"And do you love your wife?" Zhao Yan asked again.
But this time Han Rui was silent, he and his wife were ordered by their parents, and the matchmaker said that he was usually responsible for the young master's guards and rarely went home! Now that I think about it, he can't even call his wife's name?!
"Then you just don't understand love."
Love? Zhao Yan didn't understand, and he didn't even understand why he was careful to pretend to be tender in front of Xiangyan in the first place.
He has been in the local big family Zhao family since he was born, although he is a concubine, but fortunately, Zhao Lingjie doesn't care about his concubine, he only likes his personal ability, so Zhao Lingjie often entrusts him with important tasks! even did not hesitate to marry the daughter of the Liu family to him to enhance his status in the Zhao and Liu families and the army!
He's powerful! Even if Yoo Hee was pretty, he had turned a deaf ear, and he thought that women had no feelings for him anymore...... Until he met the fairy who fell into the crowd in a goose yellow gauze skirt, just one glance, his long-dormant heart suddenly beat hot!
At that moment, he couldn't help but run over, grab her hand, and take her away......
"Young master, with all due respect, the young master is determined to be in the world, don't ...... for a woman"
"I know! Go back to Sangzhou first! Go back and tell your father, Suzhou can be fell! ”
As long as he hits Suzhou, he can point to Wuzhou! When it comes to conquering Wuzhou! He will definitely marry that proud woman home! Even if she doesn't agree, he's going to use a strong one!
"In addition, go back to Sangzhou and send someone to closely monitor the movements of Wuzhou City, if there is any situation, just report me alone!"
"Yes!"
……
After 5 days:
Xiangyan held a banquet on the street outside the gate of the city lord's mansion to entertain the major families and landlords and squires in Wuzhou City, this time the Chen family and the Qiao family were guests, so they attracted many people to come and watch!
But what's even more appealing
The Lord of Xiangcheng actually wants to open the ring to challenge Xu Zhan!
Now the people of Wuzhou City are crazy, and tens of thousands of people are blocking the streets around the City Lord's Mansion! The water surrounding the city lord's mansion is impassable!
Taverns, teahouses, treasure houses, inns around the City Lord's Mansion! All of them were packed!
Xu Zhan! That's Xu Zhan! Xu Zhan, who was famous in Wuzhou City when he was a teenager! Xu Zhan, who was famous for his poignant love in Jiangnan when he was young, and Xu Zhan, who won the first place in the ring of Wuzhou City a few years ago! Despite a few years of seclusion! But as soon as he appeared! ignited the passion of the people of Wuzhou City! The past is vivid, that Xu Zhan stepped forward when Wuzhou City was in danger! This is even more admirable!
"I can't think of it! Xu Zhan's popularity is unexpectedly high! Xiangyan sighed as she saw the crowd of people outside the mansion on the high-rise building of the City Lord's Mansion.
Chen couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, yes!" "He's a poor man, how have he ever seen such a scene!
Wu Zhibo also seconded: "That's right! That's right! "Xu Zhan's name he also heard about when he was a child, but he didn't expect him to be so popular, so many people came to see his ring!
Guan Duyi said sourly: "Hmph, I'll see him beat him down later!" ”
"If you can really take him under your command, the recruitment after this will have an unexpected effect! At that time, there will inevitably be many admirers of Xu Zhan who will join our army! Elite soldiers, dial in the ranks! Regain Wuzhou! Great things can be done! Zhuge Xian also sighed! This popularity is not much different from when he was on the list of the seventy-two sages of Great Qin! In addition, he has been missing for many years, and there is a certain loss of fame! This makes him even less than Xu Zhan, who is almost a household name in Wuzhou City.
"Come on, brother!" Li Chunyi cheered Guan Duyi up.
The five days passed quickly, and as soon as the people returned from Pingshan Island, they devoted themselves to their busy daily lives.
But in the past five days, there has been a lot of good news!
Happy Xiangyan cheered!
Kong Yanli divided and segmented the market in these five days! The market price of salt was recovered from those who sold salt, and the clause that salt was not allowed to be sold without permission was promulgated, and at the same time a salt market was created, and the government sold it directly at a low price, and the supply of salt exceeded demand!
After Ziying returned to Wuzhou City, he told Xiangyan a crucial news!
Mining!
Outside the city of Wuzhou, the mountains are dense, the ore is abundant, if the ore is mined, the manufacturer and dealer take it!
At the same time, he also brought back a nude pink stone on Pingshan Island!
It was this stone that made her jump with joy!
This is an ordinary stone!
It's rock salt!
The nutritional value and taste of rock salt are far superior to sea salt! And the mined ore can also be crafted into weapons! It's a double win!
If she could secretly process rock salt and sell it, it would be a huge fortune!
By the way, it can solve the problem of not asking for sea salt!
Just do it!
So this difficult task was handed over to Ziying and Tian Shaoqian and his subordinates!
There is also the battle with Liu Chang in the past few days.
Lose both!
At first, Liu Chang had the advantage, and then Li Fen led his troops to arrive, and he couldn't hold on to it, and after three days of fighting, Liu Chang retreated! This is another happy event!
The banquet officially starts in the evening! Lanterns were lit up around the Castle Lord's Mansion and on the avenue, and the atmosphere was as lively as a festival!
"The two heads of the family, thank you for your help this time, you can't drink in the future, you can only replace the wine with tea, and I hope the two heads of the family are not strange!" Xiangyan respectfully toasted to the two old men with white hair.
These two people are Qiao Cheng, the head of the Qiao family, and Chen Qi, the head of the Chen family.
Qiao Cheng stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "The Lord of Xiangcheng doesn't need to say thank you, when Wu Fan occupied Wuzhou City, our Qiao family did not stand up, resulting in Wu Fan's fish and flesh people, although he didn't dare to touch my Qiao family, but the old man still regrets it now!" Besides, the lord of Xiangcheng loves the people and treats them lightly, if I, Qiao Cheng, protect myself in Mingzhe, wouldn't it be an insult to the prestige of the Qiao family! ”
"Hahaha~ Old Qiao is really backbone this time! Let the old man be impressed! Chen Qi laughed.
"Hmph, you old thing, if it weren't for your granddaughter begging your son, would you agree?" Qiao Cheng didn't give Chen Qi a good face.
Everyone knows that the head of the Chen family is nominally Chen Qi's eldest son, but the real power is still in Chen Qi's hands.
Even if he called the wrong name and called Chen Qi's family master, he would not deny it.
Although Chen Qiao's two families are world friends, these two old men have a bullish temper and a donkey temper, but they can't get together.
"Oh, you old thing, the older you get, the more grumpy you become, and you can get on the head after two glasses of wine?"
"Huh? You still say? Who got drunk first last time they drank? ”
"Don't count last time, last time I invited the old man of the Zhang family to be a matchmaker for my grandson at noon, I have drunk a lot, I didn't expect you old thing to take advantage of people's danger! You want to bet on me at night! If I don't want to fight, won't I be looked down upon by you?! Speaking of which, you old thing must know that I drank too much at noon and deliberately at night! It's cunning! ”
"Blame me? Soldiers are not tired of cheating, but you old man Chen is behind the gate? ”
"Hmph, I've lived for so many years, and I'm still so fast! If the old man can still touch the Chen family's ancestral Jin Xuan knife, he will be the first to come to you! ”
"Old thing! Don't forget! Your family's ancestral Jin Xuan knife was made by my Qiao family's ancestors! ”
……
The two old men talked to themselves, completely leaving Xiangyan aside.
Listening to the two old men talking about their ugly things angrily, Xiangyan sneered: "The friendship between the two heads of the family is really deep. ”
"Humph! Who has a deep friendship with this old man Chen! "Humph! Who has a deep friendship with this old man Qiao! ”
The two heads of the family said disdainfully in unison.
Seeing that the other party was doing the same, he snorted coldly! Don't look over your head at each other!
Xiangyan was full of smiles, she was more kind to the old man, and when she looked at the two heads of the family, she unconsciously remembered her grandfather.
I can't help but have sore eyes.
It wasn't until the two heads of the family frowned and looked at her that Xiangyan realized that her tears had already broken free.
"The Lord of Xiangcheng looked at us two old men crying, do you think of some old people from the past?" Qiao Cheng's mind is still relatively delicate, he guessed a little.
"Yes, I remembered my grandfather." Xiangyan wiped away her tears and replied with a smile. Her grandfather can put her at ease and make her happy.
"The lord of Xiangcheng is benevolent and generous, presumably it is also inherited from his ancestors, I wonder if the old man is okay? The old man really wanted to get acquainted with him. Chen Qi asked, but this moment touched the most sensitive memory in Xiangyan's heart.
Xiangyan lowered her eyes and said, "My grandfather has passed away for many years. ”
"This ......" Chen Qi stroked his beard embarrassedly, and then took a full glass of wine in a muffled voice.
"What about Lingzun?" Qiao Cheng also asked about this Xiangyan's family situation, although Daqin has almost no Xiang surname, but maybe it is a famous family!
"My father also went with my ancestors."
"Oh." Qiao Cheng also asked what he shouldn't ask, thinking that Xiangyan would be sad, and he also drank a full cup.
