Outside the Chengfu Gate, there are a lot of guests and people.

Zhu Changjue brought a gift to congratulate and beg for wine, but Li Chun couldn't refuse.

The door is a guest, no matter how unwilling he is, he can only greet Zhu Changjue into the door.

But he was only afraid that Zhu Changjue would make a moth, and after thinking about it for a while, he still decided to bring people in person......

And Cheng Ziyu didn't want to say hello to Zhu Changjue, so she dodged into the gatehouse, and told her to go into the painting to keep an eye on Dou and Wei Hong in person.

The Cheng Mansion is not more spacious than the General's Mansion, and there are not many tables in the front yard, so the seats are all arranged in the back garden.

Cheng Ziyu was about to go to the back garden, but was stopped by someone behind him.

Zhu Changzhe is here.

Cheng Ziyu wondered in his heart, why was he so early?

He's light, light, and completely low-key.

Compared with Zhu Changjue, who is arrogant in brocade clothes, he is dressed as an ordinary son.

Cheng Ziyu secretly sighed at his carefulness.

It's not just that he deliberately doesn't steal the limelight from the host, but also because the greater the contrast between him and Zhu Changjue, the more eye-catching he will be. As soon as the crown prince falls, many of the original princelings and wait-and-see people will definitely reconsider the princes.

Obviously, he chose a completely different path from Zhu Changjue.

The more simple and low-key he is, the more he can gain the appreciation of those clear streams. Especially at this time, the more polite, polite, and approachable he is, the more beneficial it is to him.

Of these two princes, one intends to lure with strength, and the other chooses to attract with personal ability. In this regard, there are different opinions......

And what made Cheng Ziyu frown slightly was that as soon as Zhu Changzhe opened his mouth, he called the three words "Cheng Ziyu".

As it was during the Southern Tour.

It's not Miss Cheng, it's not the general's wife, it's not the county lord, it's not even Siniang or something...... It's a bit weird to call it by its name. It sounds inexplicably intimate.

As soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong.

He tried to be calm on his face, but in his heart he only wanted to smack himself twice, he hadn't thought much of her lately, but he didn't seem to have forgotten her either.

As soon as he entered the gate, he saw a red shadow drilling into the moon gate on the side of the corner road. His heart skipped a beat, and he recognized the profile at a glance.

A hint of joy just climbed up, but saw that the person was about to disappear from the moon gate, he was in a hurry, and subconsciously opened his mouth to call...... It's impulsive.

Cheng Ziyu was slightly embarrassed.

Since the last time Hong Ze, the two of them have hardly met and spoken in private.

The two met the courtesy, and Zhu Changzhe could only smile faintly.

"I'm going to the banquet, am I going here?"

Cheng Ziyu knew that he was pretending to relieve his embarrassment, so he reprimanded the maid who welcomed the guest.

The two of them were on the way, and she was the host who was called in, so if she ignored the VIPs, she would seem to be sneaky.

Cheng Ziyu could only come generously and personally lead Zhu Changzhe to the inner courtyard.

"You're good-looking."

As soon as the atmosphere was delicate, Zhu Changzhe wanted to solve the embarrassment again. But when he spoke again, he repented again. What did he mean by that?

He has always prided himself on being calm and calm, but he regretted it twice in succession in just a few breaths, which made him a little depressed.

Good looks?

She is not recovering from a serious illness, why is he saying such a sentence?

She is a woman, how can she speak and judge her? She is a bride, she is overjoyed, and she naturally looks good. She is already a wife and has nothing to do with herself, what is her complexion, how can it be his turn to judge?

She smiled perfunctorily, but she winked his eyes.

He sighed in a faint voice.

He failed to pick the flowers he liked in time when they were on the branches, and no matter how delicate they were under the care of others, he could only watch them from a distance and not covet them.

The woman in front of her is really different from the trumpet flower in her back garden that is full of calculations but has no ability.

The taste of regret and chagrin is really bad.

But......

Zhu Changzhe's eyes must have been, but fortunately, he has already figured it out. The existence of Cheng Ziyu, who can't be begged, is a good thing for him in front of him, at least he can remind him from time to time that he can fight hard to get what he wants......

At least it was an incentive for him to sprint to that position with all his might.

Otherwise, he would have found nothing......

"Chengfu is a small place, and today's banquet is set up in the back garden, so don't want to laugh." Cheng Ziyu smiled lightly, her calmness made the atmosphere much more relaxed.

"It's not a big place, but you can see that the design is good. There are not many Cheng families, just enough to live. The most important thing is to be lively and happy, and the rest is not important. ”

"I think so too."

"I'll ...... later. It can also be the same as when you were in Jingxi, and you have time to come to the old man for tea, right? ”

A while ago, due to the need to improve the pottery pointing objects, Zhu Changzhe ran to the mountains. But as soon as he opened his mouth like this at this moment, he was weird again, and Cheng Ziyu subconsciously stagnated.

Seeing this, Zhu Changzhe hurriedly added:

"There are a lot fewer coastal pirates, and there's a lot to do and do. I'm going south soon, and I'm going to find some coastal livelihoods by the way. You know, ceramics are the most important piece of overseas trade, and it's also on my mind......"

Cheng Ziyu nodded.

On the contrary, the past and present lives have changed dramatically.

As soon as the coastal pirates were wiped out, it was cheaper for Zhu Changzhe.

Kang Anbo is equivalent to black and white in the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Zhu Changzhe is close to the water, if he wants to do business, he must not be rich and oily?

What kind of business has this money to come quickly and cleanly? With this financial support, his rise will also be rapid, right?

"Unfortunately, my grandfather will go to Beijing from tomorrow. If you have a deal to negotiate, I'm afraid you'll have to go far. Or after you go south, you can discuss one or two directly with my third uncle. You can rest assured, as long as it is the goods you want, we can negotiate the price. ”

Cheng Ziyu's heart has been quickly fighting.

There are no more than three types of overseas trade that are the largest and most profitable: tea, silk and ceramics.

There are too many varieties of tea and too miscellaneous, and the shelf life is short, so Zhu Changzhe may not get involved. Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty pursues high-end and good tea, and all the people who can go out are middle-to-lower tea, and the profit margin may not be able to tempt Zhu Changzhe. In contrast, silk and ceramics are clearly easier to buy and sell.

The profit of silk is high, but the largest output is Shudi. Either you have to travel thousands of miles to transport, or you need middlemen. For people like Zhu Changzhe who urgently need to accumulate strength, it is obvious that ceramics are more convenient and cost-effective.

He took the goods directly from the Cheng family, the first-hand source of goods, omitting a large number of potters' profits and transportation costs. It is simple and feasible, and it is also convenient for him to quickly raise profit margins......

Coupled with his strength along the coast, as long as there are no accidents, it will not take a few years for him to rise and dominate the coastal foreign trade. If you help him grow up at this moment, even if the Cheng family makes less money, let him make a million profits first, let him concentrate on selling pottery, don't go to other businesses, and what the Cheng family can harvest in the future is a steady stream of long-term trading......

Seeing the light in the eyes of the people around him flickering and jumping, the corners of Zhu Changzhe's lips involuntarily rose up. He thinks she looks best when she calculates others!

He laughed: "What is the price, I want control." Everyone makes money, and the business that benefits is stable. The Cheng family doesn't need to give me a copper plate, and even I can pay an extra 10% price, as long as I can ensure the long-term high-quality priority supply in my hand. ”

He hooked his lips as if she was underestimating him.

Cheng Ziyu understood.

Everybody makes money? All benefited? Staying steady? He probably dragged the emperor into the water. The emperor has never been involved in overseas trade, and if there is silver to be made here, it is still a big silver, so the military power of Kang Anbo will not be dispersed.

Everyone earned money together, and the coastal military pay was also settled. The navy can be developed, and it can also curb the rampant piracy of pirates and pirates. In this way, a virtuous circle is formed.

In this way, the imperial court can increase its control over the coast, save money and make money, why not?

And this matter is also a sure gain for the Cheng family and his own status and wealth! Aren't they all making money and benefiting? Isn't it the safest way to have such a deal?

"Well, it's me who is superficial again. Fabulous, superb. If there is anything the Cheng family can help, you just have to say it bluntly. Cheng Ziyu invited Zhu Changzhe into the Hanging Flower Gate.

Zhu Changzhe didn't dare to look at her, so he could only sigh in his heart. He began to pity again. How good it is that she can still understand him. She didn't have to say anything to understand it. If he loses her, will he be able to find the next person who can understand what he means?

Vinlan's face appeared inexplicably in front of his eyes.

Vinland? Does she count?

He laughed to himself......

"By the way, Vinland won't be here today." Cheng Ziyu suddenly looked back at Wen Lan, which made Zhu Changzhe startled, almost thinking that she could see through herself.

Cheng Ziyu lowered her voice.

"Her injuries are quite serious, and if she reveals her injuries, the previous lie will be in vain."

"Hmm."

Zhu Changzhe thought of the back of the stubborn departure the night before, his steps slowed down, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Before the decree was made, it was not easy for me to go directly to see her. If it's convenient for you, bring me a message. Tell her that Zhou Jingyi was grounded by me. If she is unhappy, she will clean it up with her own hands later. In addition, my house is already repairing her quarters separately......"

"Wen Lan is not easy, if you can, you might as well be kind to her. She left her hometown and had to rely on herself to carry everything, since she chose you in the end, you are her only and last support. If you fail her, she will have nothing. ”

Cheng Ziyu couldn't help but say this. At this moment, Vinland's situation always reminded her of herself in her previous life. I hope Zhu Changzhe can be more reliable than Zhu Changan.

"You seem to be feeling the same way." Zhu Changzhe laughed. "But why should I bear her?"

"I'm talking about what if."

"For example?"

"In case, she has no value one day or someone replaces her value...... "Zhu Changzhe is the most like the emperor. One day, it is difficult to guarantee that Vinland will not become an outcast.

Zhu Changzhe couldn't help but want to laugh.

"You're really nice to her. Think so much about her. Don't worry, I'm ashamed of her. "More than once." I'll treat her well. Even if she is worthless, even if it is for your sake, I will take care of her. ”

Cheng Ziyu turned her head and glared at him, what do you mean by looking at her face?

As soon as I turned around, I saw Zhu Changzhe smiling brightly, obviously joking with her.

She was just about to squirp when a laugh was heard not far away.

"Yo yo yo, who are all this talking and laughing?"

Zhu Changzhe's smile, Cheng Ziyu's looking back, and the two looked at each other, just by coincidence, they were caught by the eldest princess Dou.

When he entered the painting, he said that Princess Jue had just gone to change her clothes...... What a coincidence!

"Ouch! It's time to fight, it's time to fight! Dou strode and patted his red lips, looking like he had said something wrong, which immediately attracted many guests to look over.

"I watched from a distance a pair of people talking and laughing approaching, and I thought it was the bridegroom and the bride. But I was dumbfounded, it turned out to be the bride...... and the Five Princes. As soon as the words reached Dou's mouth, the taste suddenly changed.

Originally, the two of them walked openly, and the people who saw it didn't think it was weird, but at this moment, they were picked up like this, and the atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Zhu Changzhe frowned and was about to speak, but Cheng Ziyu was already cold and walked in front of him.

As soon as her momentum came out, she was not weaker than Dou's.

"Princess Jue, what are these words? Clumsy? Isn't it? But not only do you have bad eyes, but you also have a bad memory? My father-in-law just walked in front and led you and King Jue to this back garden, have you forgotten?

My father-in-law greeted King Jue in front of me, and how did you see the bridegroom coming from behind with me? Did my husband grow wings or did he learn the art of retreat? Where did they come from? The philosopher is dressed simply, and my husband is dressed in a red dress, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to admit that you are mistaken, right? Laughing and laughing? I am the Lord, the King of Philosopher is a guest, do you not talk or laugh at each other, are you silent and weeping? ……”

Cheng Ziyu's anger came up.

After all, it's for the two days ago. These people are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they are really hateful.

She was not wrong, then she was not afraid of offending the Dou clan at all.

She and Zhu Changjue were mortal enemies in their past and present lives, and they can't change it anyway. There is no need to save face or something. She didn't care what the people present thought. She just took the reason.

Of course, as soon as she opened her mouth like this, in addition to the ugly Dou family, she also saw Wei Hong's face behind the Dou family, which was obviously gloating about the Dou family.

"So, do you have bad eyes and memory? Or is it deliberately rhetorical? Do you want to drive a wedge between me and my husband? Or is it to cause trouble for the five princes? Or do you deliberately want my husband to lose face? Today is a good day, or do you want to see the Cheng family's jokes? Let's make this clear.

Although I am the lord of the county appointed by the Holy Lord, in the final analysis, I am still a businessman who is looked down upon, and I can do nothing. But my husband is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and the Philosopher is the pride of the Heavens, so his words must be clarified. ”

Dou's heart panicked.

There are some surprises, but also some regrets, and the secret channel is negligent and reckless.

She just saw Zhu Changzhe smiling with a spring breeze. She knows these princes too well, when has this fifth child been so happy and gentle. This is obviously Cheng Ziyu's mind has not changed.

She naturally has her purpose, she just wants to take this opportunity to pick out the relationship between Li Chun and Zhu Changzhe in public. If she can make a difference between Li Chun and Zhu Changzhe, she and her husband will take advantage......

She expected that Cheng Ziyu would be overjoyed today and would not dare to speak before she spoke, and a "misunderstanding" would be a big deal to resolve her wrong words.

How do you know that this Cheng Ziyu didn't play cards according to common sense at all, and ordinary people are misunderstood, shouldn't it be explained?

But what about her? Neither pays attention to the demeanor of the bride, nor does she take into account the identity of the general's wife, and she doesn't care about her position that today, as the master, should turn big things into small things and small things into nothing, and even dare not even give face to the most powerful King Jue at the moment?

It's like a firecracker, and it's like a mad dog. is so aggressive, yelling, doesn't she want to be embarrassed? Why did Li Chun take a fancy to such a shrew, he was really angry.
