Chapter 19: Properties under the name

Coming back from Peach Blossom Lake, it was late at night, Zhang's hand lamp had not stopped, seeing Qu Gao coming back, he stepped forward to take off Qu Gao's coat, and ordered his subordinates to bring hot water, but he just asked Qu Gao where he went, and only silently did his duty as a wife.

Married for more than two months, Zhang's temperament has become more and more gentle, although there is little contact with Taishou and the fifth lady, but every time they meet, they are also courteous, and recently they often go to the two ladies in the backyard, and they stay for a long time, the two ladies are kind-hearted, and treat Zhang and Qu Gao as if they were their own children.

"Shiqi, I'm going out tomorrow, you don't have to wait for me to eat at noon." After taking a bath, the two of them lay down to rest, Qu Gao said.

Zhang sighed softly, pulled Qu Gao's hand and placed it on his lower abdomen, responded casually, and suddenly said: "By the way, in two days, my father said that he was going to spring hunting, and he used to take me there, but this time I can't go, my father wants to take you with me, let me ask." Qu Gao turned to the side, stared at her peaceful smile, and asked, "What's wrong?" But not feeling well? You haven't been in good spirits these days, and I haven't seen you practice martial arts. ”

Zhang flattened his mouth, buried his head in Qu Gao's arms, rubbed it, and muttered shyly: "Child, you see how careless Daddy is, my mother puts Daddy's hand on my stomach every night, and Daddy just doesn't understand." Qu Gao picked up Zhang's and was ecstatic: "Are you pregnant?" I'm going to be a daddy? I'm going to be a daddy! The corners of Zhang's mouth raised, and the head hidden in Qu Gao's arms was buried deeper, and he said in a low voice: "I never knew that when I was pregnant with a child, I would feel more down-to-earth and more open, I remembered the days when my father used to take me hunting, and I could understand his love for me." Later, because of my mother and Wu Niang, I became a little more obedient, and I annoyed my father many times, but no matter what, I am his child, he gave birth to me and raised me, how can he not love me? I don't annoy him anymore, and I hope my kids won't annoy his dad in the future. Raising his head as he spoke, his eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness and joy, Qu Gao hugged her tighter, printed a kiss on his forehead, and said softly: "The child has such a gentle mother, which is a blessing for me to be a father." ”

On the second day, Qu Gaoxian sent someone back to Qu's house to report the good news, so he put on a cloth coat and a hat, and came to the east wharf of the city agreed with the king, and Zhu Yan and Chang Fuhai were also waiting here. At the appointed hour, the guards of the palace appeared in front of the three of them with Zhao Che and more than a dozen people who were traveling with him. Several of them had apparently been tortured, and although they had changed their clothes, their faces were pale and haggard, and their bodies were heavy.

The palace guards brought Zhao Che and his party to Qu Gao and said politely: "What Gongzi entrusted has been achieved, my family Langjun reminds Gongzi not to forget the promise to my family Langjun." Qu Gao nodded, and the guard took two steps back, mounted his horse and walked back.

"Xiao Gao, thank you very much! The mountains are high and the rivers are far away, we will see you in the rivers and lakes! Zhao Che said goodbye to Chang Fuhai and Zhu Yan one by one, and then took everyone on the passenger ship.

Qu Gao didn't speak, and this time he was not as reluctant as he was three months ago, as if he was seeing off a stranger. Yes, in prison, Zhao Che asked Qu Gao if he really came to save him or to make him confess, from then on, Qu Gao knew that the two had a distance, Qu Gao could understand that he was wary of outsiders after being punished, and even suspicious of anyone, but the truth that Wang Shou told him made it clearer to him that the two would never be friends again in the future, and there would be no friendship. As for that birth and death, it just happened to be together.

This time he came to the rescue, and he should repay his kindness for teaching archery.

After Zhao Che left, Chang Fuhai asked uneasily, "Xiao Gao, what promise did you promise that person?" Troublesome? This matter was his opening to Qu Gao, and Qu Gao took responsibility, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.

"Little things, big brother doesn't have to worry about it." Qu Gao was in a good mood this day, and he didn't take anything to heart, not to mention the oath that the king forced him to make, I am afraid that he will not need it for the rest of his life in the future. parting ways with the two at the gate of the music shop, Qu Gao wanted to go to the market and buy some gifts and supplements for the Zhang family.

Although Zhang is also the daughter of a nobleman, she is thrifty on weekdays, and she doesn't like those treasures and playthings, but she loves weapons, but now she doesn't touch them for the sake of the fetus.

Passing by a newly opened women's clothing shop that looked to be of good quality, Qu Gao thought that it was almost summer, and Zhang didn't seem to have added clothes yet, so he walked in.

"Yo, Qu Lang, you're here." A beautiful woman took care of this shop, stepped forward to look at it in amazement, and said with a smile: "Qu Lang's posture must be beautiful in women's clothes." ”

Qu Gao's face sank and he snorted heavily. The woman covered her face with a Luo fan and said with a coquettish smile: "Qu Lang is a big man, how can he deal with my little woman?" Saying that, he turned sideways to attract customers, and said: "Come in and take a look, our clothes, workmanship and materials are all exquisite." ”

Qu Gao picked out two clothes that could be worn at the moment under the introduction of the woman, but the woman refused to accept them when she checked out. "The concubine has admired Qu Lang for a long time, although these two clothes are not worn by Qu Lang, but Qu Lang looks at it every day, and it is enough to think of the concubine occasionally." The woman laughed.

Qu Gao has also been confessed by many women, and the affectionate posture of his daughter's family should be shy, but the woman in front of her is only in words, but her expression is with a charming naughty joke. Qu Gao didn't want to entangle with him more, so he said: "If you don't take the money, I can't ask for this clothes." ”

"Okay, okay, the concubine won't mess with Qu Lang." The woman accepted the charm and replied: "But the concubine still doesn't dare to accept this silver." The owner of this shop is none other than Qu Lang! ”

"Huh?" Qu Gao listened to the woman explain the reason, and his jaw was so shocked that his jaw was out of joint, Qu Gao had never interfered in Zhu Yan's business affairs in the past three months, but he didn't know that it had grown so rapidly!

Since receiving orders from General Zu Ti, Zhu Yan has collected many women who are proficient in weaving and embroidery, most of them are exiled from the north, and many of the women's husbands have already been conscripted into the army without knowing life and death, or have experienced war and chaos to live alone.

The north is rich, and the women also learn more poetry, calligraphy, ritual and music, among these women, there are many who are proficient in calligraphy, painting, piano music, musical instruments, singing and dancing, Zhu Yan picked them out for training, opened a long music workshop, there are a few weaving and embroidery skills, Zhu Yan asked them to make some high-quality Chinese clothes, sold in this shop. Not only that, Zhu Yan also bought some land and planted it for those women who had no skills. Some of these women are lonely, some are dragging their young sons, Zhu Yan has arranged for them to live in a house and a salary sufficient to support themselves, and has found a husband for their children to teach them to read and write, most of these women are like the women in front of them, and they are quite rich.

How capable is this Zhu Yan! No wonder last night the king praised her as a strange woman! Qu Gao only said that he was just saying it casually, but how could a person of Wang Shou's status speak casually, as Zhu Yan said, the evaluation of a person by a celebrity can make a person or ruin his life. It's a pity, it's a pity, the words are only in the boat, only the two of them can hear it, if the king's head praises Zhu Yan as a strange woman in front of people, she will be happy!

"If Qu Lang buys clothes in the East Market, and the South Market is easy to eat, maybe he can meet the shop under his name, and the girl instructed that he is not allowed to accept the Qu family's silver, and Qu Lang should not be embarrassed as a concubine." The woman wrapped her clothes and groaned again.

"Thank you then." Qu Gao took the clothes wrapped in the brocade box, rode on the white horse, and came to the door of Changle Fang.

The two girls in front of the door also knew Qu Gao, and with a slight salute, they stopped greeting, Qu Gao went to the single room in the middle of the second floor and knocked on the door, "Come in." Zhu Yan's voice came from inside.

"Brother Yi, why did you come back again?" Zhu Yan was puzzled, and saw the brocade box in Qu Jia's hand between his low eyebrows, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Yi, this is here to praise Ah Yan's ability?" ”

Qu Gao smirked, this Nizi is far more intelligent than herself, even if she hides it in her heart, she can't hide it, nodded, Qu Gao said: "Sister, last night Wang Shou told me that you are a strange woman, and my righteous brother is convinced today." ”

Zhu Yan's brows drooped slightly, his face turned a little blue, he sighed heavily, and said in a low voice: "If you can get this evaluation of the jade-faced Wang Lang, you should be content." Qu Gao sat down and asked, "Ah Yan, you told me that day that if the time is good, you will open your own clan, and now that you have these properties in your hands, why do you put them all under my name?" Aren't you afraid that I'll roll up and run away one day? ”

Zhu Yan grinned with red lips when he heard this, smiled very happily, raised his forehead, and replied: "In the name of the righteous brother, in addition to the convenience of acting as the righteous brother, in these industries, there is also the strong support of the righteous father and the righteous mother, and the righteous mother handed over all the materials obtained from the sale of the righteous brother to me, so it is natural to take care of the industry in the name of the Qu family." After sipping his saliva, Zhu Yan continued: "As for the righteous brother who wants to run errands in the industry, he thinks beautifully, and the people in these shops all listen to me!" As he spoke, he frowned, his face full of pride.

"It's amazing!" Qu Gao got up in fright, bowed to Zhu Yan and said, "In the future, I have to ask my sister to take care of me, Gao thank you here!" The two of them laughed.
