At that time, Wen Ying was already accustomed to the life of the East Palace, and Yu Wenjing wanted to go to the court, so she went to Fengyi Palace to walk around, accompany the Queen Mother, and deal with palace affairs at the same time.

The Queen Mother was very curious about this year's Autumn Festival, "That female Xie Yuan, but she was hit?" ”

"Yes." Wen Ying sat beside the Queen Mother and smiled, "The person that the imperial brother likes has some strength. ”

The Queen Mother nodded, "Hey, grandma's eyes have been getting worse and worse recently, and she has seen things with flowers, so she doesn't like to go out and walk around, and you are a lot more comfortable with grandma in the palace." ”

Wen Ying smiled, and while beating the queen mother's leg, she said, "Grandma, Wen Ya is going to leave the palace in a while." ”

The Queen Mother nodded, "Go, grandma go and rest." ”

After Yu Wenjing went down, Wen Ying sent the humane imperial study to inform him, Yu Wenjing sent someone to follow Wen Ying, and Wen Ying left the palace.

Leaving the palace is for the sake of releasing the list, she has already read the list in advance, there is Zhuang Qing's name, and Yu Wenjing also nodded next to Zhuang Qing.

There are a few surnamed Zhuang on the list, but this Zhuang Qing is the most mysterious.

Now Wen Ying naturally went to congratulate Zhuang Pujia.

The list was sent today, but yesterday, Wen Ying had already sent someone to inform Zhuang Pujia, who was in her yard early in the morning, preparing tea and snacks and waiting.

In a blink of an eye, it has been more than half a year since Zhuang Pujia moved here to make a yard.

Although the yard is small, it is complete, and it is dressed up by Zhuang Pujia extraordinarily elegantly, although it is the beginning of autumn, it does not look desolate at all, but it is lush.

"Miss, the crown princess is still half an hour away." The maid reminded.

"Hmm......" Zhuang Pujia smiled.

The maid said softly, "Miss, the crown princess really values Miss." ”

Zhuang Pujia lowered her eyes, "Just, is it important?" ”

The maid wondered, "Isn't this important?" ”

Zhuang Pujia moved the cup and straightened her back slightly, "Since I am famous and arguing with others, on the style of a gentleman, I have seen a lot, and I can guess people's hearts, but it is the first time I have seen someone like the crown princess." ”

The maid is even more at a loss.

Zhuang Pujia smiled and shook her head, "Let's see if there's anything wrong." ”

"Yes." The maid stepped back.

Zhuang Pujia looked at the green bushes outside, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

Yes, the people around her, including her father, thought that this was because the prince valued her.

If it is the crown prince, the prince wants to open the female official system, so it can be explained that he values her, but the crown princess is not to her.

If it is important, why do you have to come over in person every time, she is now the crown princess, it is a great honor for others to be informed and rewarded in person.

Zhuang Pujia smiled.

In the past, when Wen Ying was still the lord of Wenya, Zhuang Pujia felt that this Wenya county lord was simple-minded and weak, because of an accident, she was afraid of associating with a noble girl, and her small scheming could make Wen Ying have no backhand.

But after so many things, Zhuang Pujia felt that among the peers she had seen, Wen Ying should be the smartest one.

But not with the calculating wisdom of the world.

Maybe it's what the Buddhists call foolishness and great wisdom.

She had hurt this woman, but the other party could smile and not bother with the past.

Zhuang Pujia remembered that when she and Kong Yu stood on top of the bell tower, the then Wenya County Lord looked at her with a simple expression but was full of an indescribable emotion. She seems to know that there are some things that she can't reach, so she generously lets others come to her, this kind of demeanor is different from the kind of person who has to work hard to hold it firmly in her hands even if she can't really have it.

Maybe from the point of view of knowledge, Zhuang Pujia can't talk to Wen Ya like Kong Yu, but from a certain point of view, Zhuang Pujia feels that what the other party is doing is beyond her reach, and she didn't wake up at the beginning, but in hindsight, she didn't lose for no reason.

Once upon a time, she underestimated it.

got up and went to the yard, and as soon as he took two steps, he heard a knock behind him, and before he turned around, his waist was grabbed.

"Pu Jia...... You've forgiven me......" came from a low voice

The moment Qin Ke learned that the list was released, the joy in his heart overflowed involuntarily.

Before he came to ask Zhuang Pujia for forgiveness, he learned that Zhuang Pujia was preparing for the exam, and Zhuang Pujia also told him that if he didn't bother her, he would forgive him when she was on the list.

In fact, Zhuang Pujia already didn't care whether to forgive or not, she just wanted to give the two of them a step down.

In order to prepare for the exam this time, Zhuang Pujia also communicated with Kong Yu.

Kong Yu couldn't participate in the imperial examination, but he also made a test paper in private, and the test paper was submitted, and the examiner sighed that it was a pity, if Kong Yu could participate in the Autumn Festival in a bright and bright way, he would be the only one who would be the leader this time.

And Qin Ke also knew about Zhuang Pujia going to find Kong Yu.

Zhuang Pujia sighed, "Qin Ke, let go." ”

The voice is flat, no joy or sorrow.

Qin Ke froze and could only let go.

When Zhuang Pujia turned around, he nervously grabbed Zhuang Pujia's hand, and his face was tense, "Pujia, you believe me, I have changed, I have a book, I can also discuss it with you......"

"Qin Ke, do you like to read?" Zhuang Pujia frowned, and looked back at Qin Ke, "Those who are so good, Jun Feng is about to do it, do you like to watch it?" Do you like those stocks? ”

"I can ......"

"Look me in the eye!" Zhuang Pujia frowned slightly, stared at Qin Ke and said firmly, "Qin Ke, you don't like to read, you like to do business, you like to make money......"

Why does Qin Ke like to make money?

Because when he met Zhuang Pujia, he was a poor boy.

And she is the daughter of Shangshu Mansion, and she is the first beauty in Linzi, she looks so delicate.

Qin Ke is not a material for reading, but he is a business material.

He has an accurate insight into the current market situation and can profit from it.

In Qin Ke's eyes, like Zhuang Pujia, it takes a lot of silver to hold her high, but Zhuang Pujia herself does not pursue wealth and nobility, which makes Qin Ke's only point of superiority that can match Zhuang Pujia no longer exist.

"Pu Jia, don't leave me......" Qin Ke frowned, he had already worked hard, but ......

"Qin Ke, I didn't say I was going to leave you." Zhuang Pujia smiled, "I, Zhuang Pujia, can't have a maid and two husbands." ”

As he spoke, he slowly stroked Qin Ke's face, "Qin Ke, troubled times are coming...... Do you understand? ”

Qin Ke shuddered heavily.

He knew that.

Half a year ago, Qi raised the tax on merchants, three months ago, it raised the tax on agriculture by half a point, and three days ago issued a conscription order.

The caravans under his command traveled through various countries, and several caravans were out with difficulty, and few returned.

All this is a signal of an imminent war, and the Qi State is hoarding troops and hoarding food and silver, preparing for a long-term war.

"Qin Ke, you have your own pace, and I also have my direction. I just want you to understand that the matter of children's love is not what I think, maybe I have taken a wrong detour, but now the opportunity is in front of me, I will not miss it...... Qin Ke, you are very good, you started from scratch until now, in just a few years, you have made yourself a legend in the business world, which has made many people unreachable, in a way, you have succeeded, and I have just started. Zhuang Pujia said softly, "If the Zhuang Pujia you meet is not excellent, not the first beauty in Linzi or the first talented woman in Linzi, there is no insight to appreciate you, so as to help." It's an ordinary, narrow-minded woman, would you work so hard? ”

Qin Ke was silent.

Indeed, if it weren't for Zhuang Pujia being so good herself, maybe he would feel that what he gave her was enough.

It is because she herself is outstanding and is always trying to move forward that he has low self-esteem and always feels that he is not strong enough to match her.

His eyes looked at her, and his voice was hoarse, "So...... What do you want me to do? ”

He was just scared.

Afraid of her attitude towards him during this time, it makes him feel that she may never need him.

"Mind and gaze, you can't always focus on the past that has happened, I don't blame you, it's just that I want to move forward, you have to move forward, we are in the same direction......"

Qin Ke looked at Zhuang Pujia's beautiful face for a long time, then took a step back, "I know......"

"Miss, uncle, the crown princess will be here soon." The maidservant girl on the side came.

Zhuang Pujia smiled at Qin Ke and didn't speak.

Qin Ke turned around and left from Zhuang Pujia's courtyard and returned to Qin's house, so he wrote a letter of harmony in the study and handed it to his entourage, "Bring it to Madame." ”

"Master, do you really want to reconcile with your wife?"

The attendant looked at him in astonishment.

Qin Ke took a deep breath, "I'm going to go on a long trip." ”

Of course, I don't really want to reconcile.

He just wanted to show Pu Jia, and he already understood.

And in the past, Pu Jia helped him, but he was able to get up so quickly not only because Pu Jia, the emperor was in charge of the courtiers, and the king of Wen'an outside the court was mainly Yanshan and controlled the business network of Qi State, and he supported a group of people, who came and went, all in the hands of King Wen'an, and King Wen'an only had two regulations.

First, the interests of the family and the country must not be harmed.

Second, we must not harm the people.

If it is violated, it will be treated as treason.

The merchants under King Wen'an came and went, and their hands were like iron buckets, and once someone forgot their original intention because of profit, King Wen'an would send someone to deal with it.

But other than that, King Wen'an would not interfere in other things, but Qin Ke knew that the purpose of this was just to make the Qi State strong.

The troubled times are coming, and the people who can understand the situation must do their part.

After Qin Ke left, Zhuang Pujia went to greet Wen Ying in person.

"Flat."

"The crown princess has only recently been married, so why bother to go there in person."

After Wen Ying got married, she put on her hair in a bun, and there were two more points of woman's charm between her eyebrows and eyes, but her eyes were still clear, and she said with a smile, "You are among the best, but your reputation is mysterious, and many students are inquiring about your news, when the imperial brother showed me the list, he guessed your pseudonym after clicking on your name twice." ”

In other words, Zhuang Pujia is about to fall off the horse.

Zhuang Pujia smiled and replied, "Bo Yuan is now a politician of the prince and gives advice to the prince, and the prince should have asked Bo Yuan about my style, so it is normal to be able to guess my pseudonym." ”

"Actually, this palace came to you today for another matter." Wen Ying put down the teacup, and a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes.

Grandma and mother-in-law both wanted to find a marriage for Chang'an in advance, so as to avoid the chance that Chang'an might marry far away, but Chang'an himself disagreed.

She wanted to ask Zhuang Pujia, if she really got to that point, was there any other way?
