152 men
After dinner, Cheng Yuan walked along the corridor and went out to walk to Huo Yao's room.
Huo Jue was folding clothes, and the edges and corners were very smooth by him.
Seeing Cheng Yuan coming in, he smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng hasn't rested yet?" β
Cheng Yuan stroked his beard with a smile: "People are old, and they are afraid of accumulating food when they go to bed early, so they just saw that there was a light in your house, so I came over to take a look." As he spoke, he looked at his bed furnishings with a smile and said, "I can't see that although Huo Guard is a man, the house is so well organized, it can be seen that he is a careful person on weekdays." β
Huo Jue said: "Mr. has won the award, but he has been away for a long time, and he is slowly learning to do these little things." - Sir, please be seated. He asked Cheng Yuan to sit down at the small round table in the room, and while making tea for him, he said with a smile: "A big man does these mother-in-law things, which makes Mr. laugh." β
"Why did Huo Guard say that?" Cheng Yuan took the tea and said: "As the saying goes, governing the country and the Qi family level the world, this business is magnified is the world's affairs, a game of chess, depending on who plays, some people come down as plain as water, and some people play thunderingly." A big husband doesn't necessarily mean that he can't do these little things. β
Huo Jue smiled and didn't speak.
Cheng Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "Seeing that Huo Escort talks well, I don't know what books I have read?" β
Huo Jue said: "The prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, who have read any books? It's just that I have only followed an old show for a few months, and thanks to him teaching a few words, I won't be blind. The second master and the gentleman are both very knowledgeable, and they are very admired by him. As he spoke, he looked up at Cheng Yuan. The eyes are not dodging or dodging, and the heart is as open as possible.
Cheng Yuan muttered: "Huo Huwei is a martial artist, but he worships literati? β
Huo Jue looked at him, smiled and said: "Reading can be reasonable, can strengthen the country, if the people of the world understand the principles of the past and the present, act without reason, and rule by courtesy, there will not be so many wars and disputes in the frontier, and the people of Dawn can live and work in peace and contentment." Ultimately. Martial arts can put down rebellions. But if you want to make the world stable for a long time, you have to rely on civil governance. β
Cheng Yuan stared at him and said, "But if you read too many books, the more people understand, the greater your ambitions." The deeper the hiding. but those who deceive me in the court. Which one is not Xuefu Wuche? Yue Fei is strong in martial arts. defeated the Jin soldiers for 3,000 miles and made a world-class feat, but in the end he was defeated by Qin Hui, a literati. It can be seen that reading too many books may not be a good thing for the court and the community. β
Huo Jue said with a smile: "Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat, and everything cannot be conclusive." This matter of the court society is too far away, so don't mention it. β
Cheng Yuan stayed in Huo Yao's room for about half an hour, and then walked into the garden.
Xie Wan was still in the study, and when he saw Cheng Yuan coming in, he put down the pen in his hand.
"How?" She said.
Cheng Yuan stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "This person has a quick mind, speaks without leakage, and can't see any flaws at all. However, from his demeanor and conversation, it can be inferred that he must have been well-educated, his actions seem to be casual, but he exudes a natural elegance, and his eyes always reveal sincerity when he speaks, like a gentleman from a noble background. β
Then, he told him the content of the conversation he went to talk to Huo Jue.
After hearing this, Xie Wan groaned: "This is strange, Qian Zhuang found out, he is indeed from an ordinary family, although there are more well-educated scholars among the people, but there are very few people who want to develop such a habit of maintaining neatness and elegance at all times." And from what he said, he should have read a lot of books, and he has been wandering around for so many years, where did he go to receive systematic education? β
Cheng Yuan pondered for a moment, equally puzzled.
"Girl-" After a long time, Gu Xing on the side suddenly poked her arm. "I know that there is a place where I can cultivate people."
Xie Wan looked at her, and she said, "It's a brothel that specializes in training men." β
Gu Xing grew up outside, her heart is simple and clean, and she doesn't know what a girl's family shouldn't say casually.
But when she said this, Xie Wan quickly met Cheng Yuan's eyes.
This may sound strange, but there's no better explanation than that. Qinglou Qianfang is the best at training people, with Huo Yao's appearance, as well as his figure, coupled with his both civil and military skills, he must be very popular with many good male scribes. And shouldn't his observation of words and expressions be the result of reading countless people?
But when she thought of the so manly Huo Yao who was injured and carried her down the mountain, she intuitively denied it.
No young man would take a strange woman's discomfort to heart despite the pain, right? Although she was good at saving him. But after so many days, he should always show a little bit of the characteristics of being a little bit of a little girlβfor example, to make something fragrant in the house, or to put some ideas on her and Xie Lang.
But he didn't. Even if more than ninety percent of the maids in the house like him, he always keeps a safe distance from them. It's just a little disregard for her identity in front of her, and it seems that she has never been regarded as a master, but just an equal person.
"There is no such ...... in the world," she muttered.
Cheng Yuan didn't think it was like it.
But Gu Xing's words stuck to his heart like kraft candy and couldn't be picked up.
If it wasn't from the museum, how could there be such a comprehensive literacy?
"Perhaps, he has only been trained, but he has never actually received guests, so he can still keep his heart." Cheng Yuan proposed this possibility, which even he thought was absurd. Where in the world is there such a righteous and otherworldly little man? "Didn't he be beaten up when the girl met him? Maybe he just escaped. β
Cheng Yuan laughed at himself and felt that he was becoming more and more talented in making up stories. This matter can still be related to him!
Xie Wan looked at him blushing like an old eggplant, and didn't speak.
At this point, there is no point in talking about it. Whether it is Luotuo's noble son, the real prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, or the little man who escaped, no matter who he is, it is a fact that she has no way to dig out the truth at the moment, and it is also a fact that he has no ill will towards the people of Songyuan - even if he has, at least he has not shown it for now.
Song Yuan has nothing to worry about except for a few money, if he is for her money, there are more people in the world who are richer than her, and with his ability, he can completely plot against those people.
If it is the person who wants her, with his appearance, there are more warblers and Yanyan around, does he need to spend so much effort on her?
So, as long as she knows that he has no malicious intent, she can turn a blind eye.
Of course, if he caused her trouble one day, she would not hesitate to chase him away.
Huo Yao was put down here for the time being, and someone in the house kept an eye on him for her.
She's going to do something serious, so she's been reading Caoyun-related literature lately.
The rice shop in Jingshi has fully entered normal operation, and she will have more money in hand, so she plans to open a few more shops outside Jingshi next year.
This is to prepare for entering Beijing. The head-to-head struggle with Xie Rong should begin.
She remembered that in her previous life, at the end of the summer of next year, there was a major change in the cabinet, and the first assistant Du Cen retired, and Ji Zhenyuan was the successor. If there is no change in this life, then after Ji Zhenyuan takes the throne, Xie Rong's position will definitely change. If he succeeds this time, her journey will be even more difficult.
Therefore, stopping Xie Rong from climbing up again before this is the first thing that must be done.
Now there are seven or eight months left before that time. If she enters Beijing after the year, then she has to deal with the affairs of Qinghe first.
The first is to solve the problem of shipping. In the future, she will open more shops, and she will naturally need more ships. After going to Jingshi, she didn't have the energy to care about these things anymore, so she naturally had to prepare before she went.
Since the old man Huining came, she has been more concerned about the matter of Cao Yun, and the matter of Cao Yun has nothing to do with Xie Rong at first glance, but don't forget, the official in charge of Cao Yun in the imperial court is Huo Da, the protector of the country, and Xie Rong is now assisted by Huo Da's son-in-law.
His connections are getting wider and stronger, which is inseparable from the relationship between the East Palace.
The prince's mind is unpredictable, and he can't tell whether he is helping Yin Yu or Yin Yao, if someone uses Cao Yun to make some moves to frame the Huo family, it is actually not a good thing for her.
The Huo family is in turmoil, and Cao's fortune will be affected, in that case, she must spend more energy on business, but doing business is only a source of her money, not the ultimate goal, so she doesn't want anything to happen to the Huo family at all.
Xie Lang decided to set off for the south on the fifth day of the winter month, because he was catching up with the warm winter in the south.
Xie Wan sent two nurses to follow, asked him to drive lightly, and then gave him the address where Shen Tian was. His expenses in the south were naturally taken by Shen Tian, and he didn't have to worry about this at all.
When they went out, Xie Wan called Qian Zhuang to Fenglu Hall.
"You prepare, let's go to Cangzhou tomorrow and go to the dock to see the boat."
The Cao Gang is so bad now, and it may not have an impact on the merchants who hire the boat, and now it is the golden season for the rice and grain merchants before the summer harvest next year, if there is any dispute, although the Cao Gang will compensate, but if the real loss is the grain on the ship, it is not a compensation that can be recovered.
There are some things that can be done by sending people, but some things still have to be done in person, and she doesn't want to make some mistakes when the time comes.
Xie Wan gave the order here, and Xing Zhu and the others began to prepare. This time, not only the four guards are going, Cheng Yuan is going, Yuxue is also going, and Luo Shengwu's mother will take Xiuniang and them to take care of the house.
Cangzhou is three hundred miles away from Qinghe, Xing Zhu Gu Xing's hometown is here, along the way Gu Xing kept saying the name of the place, Xing Zhu also used a rare smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
