Chapter 239
After figuring out the ins and outs, Wen Changhou's face changed several times, and finally he said a lot of good things with great anxiety, and then took Xia Xiaoyuan and left in a hurry. γFengyun Reading Network. It's not that he doesn't want to be cheeky and almost want to make a face, but it's really that the prince of Qi said it clearly, and he didn't dare to try to challenge people's bottom line.
It is necessary to know that now that Mobei is in the first war, the prestige of the protector is indistinguishable, and he even heard that the emperor has the intention of handing over the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army to him. And the status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is even more unshakable, whether it is the protector of the country or the prince of Qi, he can be regarded as a person close to His Royal Highness the Prince.
Especially the prince of Qi, in addition to the relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, the person himself is a nobleman, and His Royal Highness the Prince is a real cousin. Today's saint has only one eldest sister, and she can be regarded as going at a young age, and King Qi is even more important to the emperor. In this way, although the prince of Qi is not the true prince heir, his status will never be worse than the so-called prince next to him.
Seeing the Marquis of Wenchang and his entourage leaving in a hurry, the prince of Qi took a breath, and then said with a smile: "The Lord Protector is also good at talking, you are a military general, you shouldn't be so pedantic, people are bullied to the door, and you can't bear it." After thinking about it, he muttered, "I see that you have learned a lot from my third brother, but you don't have the same brute strength as before, if the Duchess of Guo is in front of you, maybe you will make the Marquis of Wenchang embarrassed." β
Because the prince of Qi is the person in charge of the procurement of grain and grass for his own family and the Ministry of War, plus his daughter-in-law has also said some things, as well as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Rui, Zhang Manchu also has some understanding of the prince Qin Yuanming in front of him. can enter the eyes of his daughter-in-law, and he is not the kind of person who behaves.
Immediately, he was not polite, and said with a smile: "What the prince said is, but today is a good day for my son, and it doesn't make people feel bad." And let him be frightened for a few days, and when he returns to Beijing, he will slowly settle the account. β
With such a face of fragrant tea and spring joy, why is it just angry? To put it mildly, isn't it just looking for bad luck and slapping your daughter-in-law in the face?
That is, at this time, he hadn't heard what was going on in the wing room, if he knew that Xia Xiaoyuan was relying on the name of Mrs. Hou, not only to make a fortune, but even to ridicule his daughter-in-law with sarcasm, it is estimated that he would not let it go so easily, and maybe he would lose his temper on the spot. Of course, that Lin Yanran is naturally not pleased.
Lin Baozhu didn't know about this for the time being, but it didn't lead to any mistakes. However, after the guests dispersed, Qin Yuanming still sat in the hall and refused to leave, of course, the clerk also stayed.
"Don't worry, I have a few words that I want the Protector to help ask Madame." Qin Yuanming didn't say much, and said straight to the point, "When my wife left Beijing before, we discussed the matter of opening a shop in the capital, and now that everything is ready, it's just a word from my wife." As long as Zhang Ji is willing to supply, the shop Zhang Ji will take three points of profit, and the signboard can also be hung with Zhang Ji's name according to the meaning of the lady. After a pause, he said, "It's just that the capital is different from other places, just like the industry in my hand, most of them are also hung under the banner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which not only saves a lot of trouble, but also makes some people who are not open-eyed be in awe, so this signboard needs to be carefully considered." β
When he came here, in addition to joining in the fun, the most important thing was to worry about the shop. To be honest, he was behind the Wen family's caravan, so he naturally knew how much profit Zhang Ji's item tea had brought to him in the past year or so. To tell the truth, if this development continues, then the money that can be secretly supplied to the prince's cousin by the overt and secret industries under his own hands will be more informed. If it is possible to tie Zhang Ji to the ship of the East Palace, then in the future, whether the cousin moves troops or secretly operates anything, I am afraid that he will no longer have to be restricted by gold and silver.
Qin Yuanming didn't know which one his cousin valued in Peachtree Bay, but when he looked around, it was just a Zhang Ji.
Seeing that the prince said it so bluntly, he couldn't help but feel anxious, but he didn't dare to show half of it on his face, for fear that it would cause the prince to see the clues and bring trouble to Lin Baozhu.
In fact, he didn't dare to believe all the rumors in the capital about how the protector of the country loved his wife and how he allowed his wife to show up and do business. Even if there is news from the palace people, he just thinks that everyone is in the clouds, even if he sees that Lin Baozhu is very comfortable every time he goes out of the house, he can't believe that the dignified protector of the country can really not care about the eyes of others and let his wife act as a merchant.
And now, as soon as the words of the prince of Qi came out, if he was narrow-minded, I was afraid that he would have a gap with Lin Baozhu because of this. What's more, it is inappropriate to let the first prize army of the Protector of the Nation pass the word to his wife, and it is for the sake of a copper-smelling business.
But both of them are above him, and there is really no place for him to intervene here. However, thinking that it might bring embarrassment to Lin Baozhu, he thought about what to say in his heart, and he could avoid embarrassment.
But he didn't want to, and before he could open his mouth to confess, he saw that Zhang Manchu didn't think about it, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't interfered in Zhang Ji's business, and my wife is in charge." It's just that it's inconvenient for her to go out to meet guests now, if the prince and Young Master Wen don't dislike it, and drink some tea for the time being, I'll ask Madame about her plans first. β
It's about his daughter-in-law's hard work, and Zhang Manchu really doesn't dare to make decisions without permission. Who doesn't know that in addition to valuing her own family, her daughter-in-law has the rest of her mind on Zhang Ji. If he worries his daughter-in-law because he said the wrong thing, it is not worth it.
As for face, in front of the daughter-in-law, what is face worth.
Regarding the cooperation between the prince of Qi and the Wen family, Lin Baozhu had already made up his mind. This is a win-win situation for the three parties, so why not?
After getting the quasi-letter, there was no need for the prince of Qi to stay with the clerk for more, and the two of them took some good tea from Zhang Ji, and then left satisfied. And Zhang Chang and the others naturally put down their gifts and went back to Beijing. The East Palace is rarely taken care of, he has been out of Beijing for many days, and he will not go back, for fear that the prince will not be able to use people.
Not to mention Zhang Ji's business in the capital, what kind of regulations does Lin Baozhu have. only said that Wen Changhou, who was humiliated and threatened, was in a hurry to move with a white face at this time.
If it was usual, Xia Xiaoyuan followed his unknown weird hobby, and if he thought about it, he would have been picked up by Wenchang Hou and gently let go. But not now, with the last words of the prince of Qi, how can he have the leisure to have fun?
I only saw the post station, Wen Changhou ignored Xia Xiaoyuan in the sedan chair behind him, and angrily entered the special courtyard behind the post station. Looking at the objects in the small courtyard, he was full of grievances, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and naturally he smashed it with a thunderbolt. It was only when he was a little angry that he confessed to his subordinates and called his wife over.
Xia Xiaoyuan was also frightened at this time, she wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass the Zhang family, but she didn't want to be driven out directly. Not only that, but the partial life also provoked Hou Ye to be full of anger, along the way the nose is not a nose and eyes are not eyes, even if she begged for mercy softly, and even said a lot of words that couldn't even be said by Goulanyuan who was smiling, Hou Ye's face changed by half a point without asking.
When she entered the house at this time, she saw that the house was in a mess, where did she dare to speak? After thinking about it, she still held her breath, gritted her teeth and smiled and took two steps forward, deliberately revealing half of her arm with red whiplash scars, and said with a smile: "Master Hou is angry, and he broke his body for the sake of others' words, but it's not worth it." β
Wen Changhou is in a bad mood at this time, and seeing her charming appearance again, his heart is even more angry. immediately slapped the table and scolded: "Someone else? That's the prince of the protector and the prince of Qi, it's too late for others to get up and curry favor, but you just go up to cause trouble for the master. On weekdays, I see that you are also a well-behaved and obedient person, but the dog who doesn't want to bite people doesn't bark, how can you see that the Duke of the Protector is tall and healthy, are you envious and jealous of the Duchess of the Protector? This is a god who can't keep up, and he hasn't hooked up yet, so he wants to give people no face directly? β
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the words he said were naturally unbearable. However, Xia Xiaoyuan has obviously been used to it for a long time, and even the green bamboo and the housekeeper who are guarding outside are deaf to this, and their expressions remain unchanged.
"Qingzhu, bring me a whip." Marquis Wenchang scolded, then kicked Xia Xiaoyuan down, and said angrily, "Why can't the master satisfy you, you want to have two hearts?" Today, the master will teach you what it means to keep women. β
In the early years, Xia Xiaoyuan did not suffer much, even after the family fell behind, she could be regarded as a pampered life in the dart game. Later, with the experience of her previous life, she successfully attached to the concubine of the Marquis of Wenchang Mansion and the Marquis of Wenchang, in fact, at the earliest, she planned to cling to the concubine of the Marquis of Wenchang, but she didn't want to have no chance at all.
Later, in order to please Wenchanghou and be the main room, so that she would not be regarded as a plaything and abandoned at will, she used all her scheming means to even endure Wenchanghou's whipping and all kinds of abuse. Others may think that Wen Changhou is a useless and cowardly wallgrass, but she knows that this tyranny and cruelty are no worse than those evil men.
At this time, she was put on her stomach with a real kick, Xia Xiaoyuan only curled up on the ground with her stomach in pain, cold sweat broke out, and her mouth followed Wen Changhou's words. She knew in her heart that if she didn't let Wen Changhou take such a breath, she was afraid that her life would be even more difficult in the future
