Chapter 554: Turmoil? Opportunity?
Gu Mingzhu didn't wait for Cui Lin in the evening, he went to the front yard with Cui Cheng after dinner, and didn't come back until late at night.
It seems that the Cui family has encountered something, and it is a big deal.
Gu Mingzhu yawned with a fan to cover her mouth, and flipped through a page of the scroll, but her mind was not on the scroll, frowning slightly and thinking about what had happened for a long time.
Since she married into Cui's house, Cui Lin treats her needless to say, caring for her everywhere, although everyone in the Cui family is still unfamiliar with her, but they also maintain a polite and harmonious appearance, as for Zheng Yuan who is so malicious, Gu Mingzhu didn't take it to heart, the beam between them is already untied, and in the future, either the east wind will overwhelm the west wind, or the west wind will overwhelm the east wind.
It's just that the attitude of Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Cui towards her is a little ambiguous, under Mrs. Cui's kindness and Mrs. Cui's calmness, Gu Mingzhu can feel their defense and dissatisfaction with her.
Yes, because she Cui Lin even gave up the position of the sect son, it is no wonder that the old lady Cui and the eldest lady, who have great hopes for him, have a knot in their hearts for her.
Thinking of this, Gu Mingzhu sighed softly, it was Cui Lin's choice to give up the position of Zongzi, he made a choice, what Gu Mingzhu had to do was to do his own thing and let them slowly accept themselves.
There is also the middle feed of Cui Mansion, Gu Mingzhu has no intention of taking over for the time being, not to mention that Mrs. Cui is still there, and she, the newly married bride, must not show a look of being eager to take over, even if Cui Fu is so complicated, she can't easily interfere for a while.
What's more, Cui Lin is already about to give up the position of Zongzi, it is better for her not to cause trouble, in contrast, the second lady and the Wang family are even more willing to accept this hot potato.
She leaned against the window and thought about it, turned a few more pages, and it was not until the night was getting deeper and deeper that she asked Aoi and Abi to rest.
Putting down the Luo tent, the brocade was light and soft, everything was the same as usual, but Gu Mingzhu lay down with her eyes closed and didn't feel sleepy, feeling like something was missing.
She rolled over, a little confused.
has never been like this on weekdays, even in the face of difficult situations, she will not embarrass herself, and can always sleep peacefully, but now I don't know why, but she can't sleep when she closes her eyes.
What's missing? Gu Mingzhu frowned and turned over again.
It was not until it was time for her to toss and turn that she fell asleep in a daze.
When she woke up in the morning, she only felt that her body was weak, and she opened her eyes sleepily, looking at the couch next to her, but it was still neat, not like someone had slept.
Cui Lin didn't come back? Gu Mingzhu frowned, and couldn't help but feel a wave of worry in her heart.
It seems that there is really something embarrassing, otherwise Cui Lin would not have come back.
"Lang Jun didn't come back until after the ugly hour last night, and he went back to the front yard just after the time." Ah Bi combed Gu Mingzhu's hair in a bun while whispering.
Gu Mingzhu's heart moved, her brows furrowed slightly, she stretched out again, ordered someone to deliver food as usual, and went to Mrs. Cui's courtyard when she ran out.
Mrs. Cui is not as calm as Gu Mingzhu, her expression hides a little anxiety, and her face is a little haggard, obviously she already knows, but she doesn't say a word about Gu Mingzhu, and still takes her to take care of it.
It wasn't until the evening, when Cui Lin returned to Yusheng Courtyard, that Gu Mingzhu knew what had happened.
“…… The silk weaving line of Huainan and Huaibei has been out of stock, and the Yangzhou Cui's grain store in Zhejiang Province has not much left, and the rice grain of the grange has been hoarded for too long, and it is about to enter the autumn, if it cannot be transported to the grain line as soon as possible, the autumn rain is even more difficult. Cui Lin's face was calm, but his face was slightly gloomy, "Jiangxi Province and Qiannan Province are also like this, and the industries everywhere have been seriously blocked. ”
Gu Mingzhu didn't expect it to be so serious, she sat down with a straight face: "How can this be?" ”
Cui Lin took the tea soup served by Hongluan, only took a slight sip and put it on the table: "Most of Longyou Road, Gyeonggi Province, and Dugi Province are the Zheng family's properties. ”
Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but be taken aback: "Bandits? How so. ”
For example, today is no longer as chaotic as at the beginning of the dynasty, except for the time of disaster, there will be no bandits in leisure, not to mention the official road where cars come and go, how can there be thieves and bandits disturbing the people, not to mention that it is the Cui family's convoy, with the Cui family's reputation and excellent guards, the bandits are afraid that they will avoid it, how can they dare to stop it.
Unless......
Gu Mingzhu raised his eyes and looked at Cui Lin, Cui Lin knew that she had guessed, and bowed slightly: "It's the DPRK and the Zheng family joining forces." ”
Therefore, there will be bandits on the official road, and the government has never taken action, allowing them to block the Cui family's convoy.
Originally, when they were in Chang'an, the Cui family and the Zheng family had already had a disagreement, and it was already expected that the Guan Long family would never be screwed together like an iron bucket like before, but I didn't expect the Zheng family to do something to the Cui family so soon.
Gyeonggi Province and Togi Province are the main north-south transportation routes, and all industries of the Choi family need to transport goods to and from each other through these two places.
Gu Mingzhu thought for a while, then asked Cui Lin, "What are the plans of the clan?" ”
Cui Lin said slowly: "Originally, there were still a lot of things left here, and I could deal with it for a while, but it was a long time...... Father has already let the fourth uncle go to the Zheng family in Xingyang. ”
I want to negotiate with the Zheng family, but I am afraid that the Zheng family may not be willing to let go.
After all, it has always been the Cui family as the leader, the Zheng family is the second, this is the Zheng family's dominance and the best opportunity to control the family, as long as the Cui family's various industries are suppressed, the Cui family will inevitably be greatly damaged, and the Zheng family has the support of King Xian, it will only prosper, and the Cui family will soon be able to suppress the Cui family.
Gu Mingzhu knew, how could Cui Lin not think of it, so he was not optimistic about this trip to the Zheng family, but he didn't panic at all, and said lightly: "It's okay, if the Zheng family has other plans, we won't be helpless." ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at him and smiled lightly: "If there is anything, tell me too." ”
Cui Lin didn't hesitate to tell her about it, and he discussed it with her for so long, and he also trusted her, Gu Mingzhu cherished this trust and was willing to try his best to help him.
Zheng Yuan also knew about it.
Zheng Yuan's heart was pounding, and she sat on the couch for a long time without speaking, surprised and happy.
What is surprising is that the relationship between the Cui family and the Zheng family has been so deadlocked, the family has always supported each other, and there has never been such a confrontation, she is the daughter of the Zheng family, but now that she has married into the Cui family, I am afraid that it will inevitably be affected by the relationship between the two families.
If the Zheng family can really gain the upper hand, the Cui family will bow their heads after all, then her status in the Cui family will never be what it is in front of her, and the Cui family will not dare to underestimate her anymore, and Cui Wei will be more dependent on competing for the position of the son.
Thinking of this, Zheng Yuan showed a slight smile on her face, this is a great opportunity.
