"I don't! He is such a gentle and kind person, why is he not a good person? Besides, he has a bad relationship with his wife, and his sick wife will only drag him down, and it's good that the son doesn't dislike her. Zhou Minqi said unconvinced, "Anyway, I am married to him, auntie, you don't have to worry about me, just wait for the son to come and propose!" ”

"Why are you so confused!" The third aunt saw that she was obsessed and angry, and said ruthlessly, "You are not allowed to go anywhere these days, you must cut off contact with that man!" Otherwise, I'll lock you up for the rest of your life! ”

"If you lock me up for the rest of my life, I will marry him!" Zhou Minqi was unconvinced, "If I can't marry him, I'd rather die!" ”

The third aunt was so angry that her chest was panting, and she really locked Zhou Minqi in the room ruthlessly, and did not allow her to leave the hospital one step at the door, so she had to force her to bow her head and admit her mistakes, and never contact the prince of An Guo again.

Zhou Minqi was locked up for a few days, and when she found that her aunt had no intention of soft-heartedness, she began to make a noise about going on a hunger strike, and smashed all the furnishings in the room, making a lot of noise.

The third aunt really couldn't suppress this matter, so she had to tell An Nan honestly.

Zhou Minqi has been locked up for a few days, she is not comfortable, the whole person is a lot haggard, her daughter and the married husband have a private agreement for life, if An Nan is ruthless, Zhou Minqi will be "violently ill and die", there is no way to live, how can the third aunt not worry, but unfortunately her daughter is not angry, she has to go to the road of death, she can't pull it, so she has to come to ask An Nan for guilt, hoping that An Nan's subordinates will show mercy to let her daughter live.

An Nan looked at the third aunt who was kneeling in front of her, her eyes were red and haggard, and she had to whisper to plead for her daughter, and secretly thought that she and the third aunt were really sympathetic.

"She really said that if she is not the prince of Anguo, she will not marry, otherwise she is willing to die?" An Nan asked lightly.

"Yes." The third aunt replied embarrassedly, what her shameless daughter said, she wanted to kill her when she heard it, but she couldn't do it.

"I'm not a ruthless person, and I won't kill her. You tell her, let her wait at home with peace of mind, if the prince of An Guo really comes to propose, then I won't disagree, but during this period, she will be grounded in her own yard, if there is a scandal to damage the reputation of the Zhou family, then I will not be soft. An Nan said, and finally it was a warning.

"However, the prince of Anguo is not a good match!" The third aunt said anxiously, "Can a man who seduces an ignorant girl when his wife is seriously ill have a good character?" Minqi won't have a good life if she marries him! ”

"A's honey, B's arsenic, you don't think he's a good person, but Minqi thinks he's the best, can you persuade her? If you could, you wouldn't have come to me. You block her, thinking it's for her good, but she will only resent you, so why bother, people who don't hit the south wall and don't look back will not listen to the persuasion of others. An Nan woke up the third aunt, Zhou Rui and Zhou Minqi are worthy of being brothers and sisters, they are also naïve and naïve, and they don't care.

"Is it all she can do?" The third aunt looked blank and muttered.

Seeing that she was so sad, An Nan made a suggestion to comfort her: "If you really want Zhang Juren to be your son-in-law, don't you still have Minshu?" She is also of marriageable age, if she wants, let her marry Zhang Juren. ”

The third aunt's eyes lit up, yes, Minqi didn't listen to persuasion, but Minshu was an obedient and good boy! Since Minqi is dying, and he can't stop it, let her go! The third aunt was already disheartened.

So Zhou Minqi got what she wanted, stayed in the room with peace of mind and waited for her lover to propose, and Zhou Minshu agreed to the third aunt's proposal and made a marriage with Zhang Juren.

The family affairs of the concubines were settled, and An Nan turned her attention to other things. She checked all the Zhou family's family background and her dowry, and came to a conclusion: The Zhou family is really rich, and I am also very rich......

Thinking about it, Zhou Zhan is not as honest as he shows, otherwise he would not have saved this large amount of family property, but now that all this money is used by me, An Nan couldn't help but smile, wishing that Zhou Zhan would stay in the Taoist temple for the rest of his life and not come back.

With so much money, what a pity it is not to spend it, in case the emperor suddenly doesn't want to let go of Zhou Zhan on a whim one day, won't the Zhou family be completely wiped out? An Nan didn't want to put her life on the emperor's "benevolence", so she decided to send people to the sea to go to Western countries, and at the same time find a place for herself to settle down overseas, so that even if the emperor wanted to raid his family and exterminate his family, he would have a way back.

Just do it, An Nan found a confidant steward, began to assign various things, and asked people to hire skilled shipwrights to help build a sea ship.

Nowadays, the emperor did not order a ban on the sea, so there were many merchants in the coastal areas who dared to go to sea to do business, although it took several years to go back and forth at a time, and the sea was dangerous, but the profits were too great, and the risk was worth it.

It took a lot of effort for An Nan to build a few big ships, find a few crew members who had experience at sea, and send henchmen as the main envoys, so that they could go to the outer land with the sea ships that had been out to sea several times.

The sea vessels sent this time were to test the waters, and An Nan did not expect them to make much money back, but only hoped that they had seen the customs and customs of foreign countries, and after gaining experience, they would be able to carry out overseas business in a planned manner next time.

Although the matter of going to sea did not violate the law, it was better for the Zhou family to keep a low profile in such a situation, and An Nan planned to use reliable people for all the people she sent out in the future, but there was no talent in this area among her current subordinates, so she decided to train her own henchmen who specialized in going to sea.

She had young children scavenged, either bought from human teeth, or taken in little beggars on the streets, little refugees who had fled...... These people who are malleable, capable of learning, and young will become their most reliable subordinates as long as they are cultivated from an early age.

An Nan adopted them in Zhuangzi, sent people to teach them to read and write, practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, and even found a blonde and blue-eyed Yi man to teach them the Western Yi language, tell them about the customs and customs of overseas countries, and let them make the best preparations for going to sea.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the original group of children have been raised with good food and drink, and they have all grown into strong and strong teenagers, all of whom are multi-skilled talents, and everything is ready, just waiting for the group of people who went to sea to come back, so as to turn paper talk into actual exercises.

Fortunately, God paid off, An Nan sent people to the sea three years ago back, several sea ships lost one, and the crew also lost a lot, An Nan was very distressed, but the goods brought back by the remaining ships were enough to make up for these losses, and even made a lot of money, overall, this trip to sea was a success.

Annan rewarded these people who successfully went to sea, and also generously compensated the families of the crew who failed to return, and started her maritime career.
