Xu Jinrou's eyes flashed with ridicule, "I am the princess of Jin, who does Xiao think this child belongs to?" ”

Xiao Tianze's expression eased, "As long as it wasn't slaughtered by Liu Ren, I have already inquired very clearly, Song Heng, the king of Jin, was assassinated two months ago, and you are now a widow." ”

Xu Jinrou sighed gloomily, "Hey, but after all, she is a widow, she is no longer the daughter of Xu Shilang's family on the shore of Mirror Lake, and she no longer has the luxury of choosing the identity of her husband, nor does she dare to have the luxury of a husband who only loves me." ”

Xiao Tianze suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Jinrou's soft hand, "The promise made on the shore of Mirror Lake seven years ago, I... Not a joke. ”

Xu Jinrou gently broke free of her hand, "It's been seven years, things are people, I am no longer a girl in the boudoir, and the privy envoy is not a spy who licks blood with a knife, I am married and now a widow, you are now the privy envoy of the Southern Court of the Western Barbarian Country, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition." ”

Xiao Tianze's eyes were blazing, "So what?" You are now single, although I have a concubine but no wife, you and I have the same family background, the appearance matches, what the husband in your heart wants, I fully meet, can make your wish come true. Well..., the child in your womb can stay as you want or not, and I will definitely treat it as my own in the future. ”

Xu Jinrou took a deep breath and shook her head slightly, "It's different, I'm no longer the me I was then, and you are no longer the you were then, and now the privy envoy is more pitiful to me." ”

Xiao Tianze frowned, "Princess Jin is now the third envoy of Dachu and the guest secretary of the Prison Mansion, so she shouldn't need me to be pitiful..., hey, I am still the same as I was at that time, but you met Liu Rentu." But has Jinrou thought about it? If you are with Liu Rentu, can he marry you? A person who can't give you a stable future, is it worth it for you to spend your life for him? ”

Xu Jinrou chuckled, "Why does a woman's stability have to rely on a man?" ”

Xiao Tianze was stunned for a moment, and then he also smiled, "Seven years ago, I didn't like it, it was just fate, but now I see you again, not only with a beautiful face but also with a clear mind, wise and intelligent, but I really like it." ”

Xu Jinrou stared at Xiao Tianze's handsome face, "Do you have to be husband and wife if you like it?" Why can't we look at each other? ”

Xiao Tianze lifted the blue and white pot on the tea table and poured tea for Xu Jinrou, "Since you like it, why do you want to look at each other?" I'm not in a hurry, the position of the wife of the Privy Council of the Southern Court will remain until you come. ”

Xu Jinrou smiled, "You will regret it." ”

Xiao Tianze filled the tea cup in front of him, "It's my business not to regret it, although you can act according to your heart, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Xu Jinrou took a sip of tea, and suddenly the corners of her mouth smiled, "Such a precious blue and white pot in the clouds is actually chrysanthemum tea." ”

Xiao Tianze picked up the teacup and took a big sip, "What's wrong with chrysanthemum tea?" Only you know if the tea is suitable for your own drinking, no matter how expensive or low, it should be served in the best pot..., hey, why do you say it? ”

Xu Jinrou's eyes flashed, and she diverted the topic, "I don't know when the privy envoy will leave Da Chu?" ”

Xiao Tianze didn't ask anymore, "Well, I'm not in a hurry to leave, I need to wait for the news of the locust plague in Ximan, and at the same time, I should stay in Dachu for about a month, by the way, I also want to ask Xu Keqing to settle a place for me to live." ”

Xu Jinrou was a little puzzled, "You are the privy envoy of the Western Barbarian Southern Court, do you still need me to settle the residence?" You can go to Liu Jianguo! ”

Xiao Tianze's expression turned cold, "I don't want to beg him." ”

"Then..., Privy Envoy Xiao can also go to the Marshal's Mansion."

Xiao Tianze shook his head, "I'll tell you the truth, I don't get along with the Mo family, especially Na Mo Nanfeng, who often makes a move when they meet." ”

Xu Jinrou was a little embarrassed, "Then I have to stay in the guest house." ”

"My dignified privy envoy of the Western Barbarian Southern Court wants to stay in the guest house for a month, and it will be inconvenient to do things, um..., your mother's mansion, Xu Shilang's mansion is not very spacious?"

Xu Jinrou's expression became serious, "My Xu family died at the hands of the Western Barbarians, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to live in the Xu Mansion, right?" ”

Xiao Tianze was a little embarrassed, "Oh, it's really not suitable!" I'm really sorry, but I've forgotten this cause and effect after a long truce. ”

Xu Jinrou didn't care, "Well..., I suddenly remembered a place, which is prosperous and close to the Prison Mansion." ”

"Oh, where is it?"

"It used to be the residence of Li Sansi, the envoy of the Duzhi, and now it was bought by Yue Dapeng, a Ximan rice merchant, with a hundred loads of grain, and the privy envoy could buy it to live, and later Dachu also had a place to stay."

Xiao Tianze's eyes lit up, "This idea is really good, so it will be more convenient for Da Chu to see you later." ”

Xu Jinrou sneered, "Don't forget, I'm a pregnant widow." ”

Xiao Tianze smiled evilly, "This privy envoy knows, I like everything you are, as long as you nod, I can immediately marry you and go to Xiban to be the eldest lady." ”

Xu Jinrou smiled helplessly and turned her head to look out the window.

In the previous life, she was not pregnant, Xiao Tianze's scorching attitude and words made her heart like a deer, but in this life, she was like water, how could she marry him? There is still a lot to do in this life.

……

The process of transporting guinea fowl was very smooth, with the help of 100 soldiers from the government and 1,000 soldiers sent by the marshal's office, a total of 880,3100 guinea fowl were loaded and transported to Xiban in just one night.

That night, Liu Rentu was going to see Xu Jinrou to ask what was going on, but Xiao Tianze pulled him to drink all night, and the two of them were so drunk that they didn't get up the next morning.

The people from the four major families wanted to return to Xiban together with the guinea fowl, Xiao Shenji, Tang Buer, and Feng Jiukong all surrendered their hands and said goodbye to Xu Jinrou.

Huo Ruyan pulled Xu Jinrou aside, "Sister Jinrou, I know a lot about you, if there is anything unsatisfactory in the future or you can't stay in Dachu, you can come to Ximan to find your sister." ”

Xu Jinrou smiled, "Thank you, sister, with your words, my sister will have to rely on." ”

Huo Ruyan glanced at Huo Jinsheng in the distance, "Actually, my brother Jinsheng is very good, although he does not have a handsome appearance and is not as powerful as Liu Rentu, but he is a good man who can be entrusted with his life." ”

Xu Jinrou bowed slightly, "Sister's words, my sister wrote them down." ”

The Cuipingshan chicken farm was emptied overnight, and all the hired workers Xu Jinrou paid double their wages, and those friends of Ang Lee, Xu Jinrou each rewarded an extra hundred taels of silver.

When everyone was happy, Xu Jinrou called Li An to the house alone.

Li An bowed and saluted, "Princess, what will your subordinates do next, but do you still want to raise chickens?" ”

Xu Jinrou shook her head, "You don't need to raise chickens, these friends of yours will continue to be used, but they need to go out and learn some useful skills." ”

Li An was stunned, "I don't know what skills I want them to learn?" ”

"Those who learn how to mine, including iron mines, silver mines, and salt mines, will be paid as usual during this period, and their salaries will be doubled after they finish their studies."

Li An replied respectfully, "My subordinates will do it, I don't know what the princess wants her subordinates to do?" ”

Xu Jinrou instructed Fang Ruo to bring a silver ticket and hand it to Li An, "This is 50,000 taels of silver tickets, of which 1,000 taels are for your reward, and the remaining 49,000 taels need you to set up a brocade factory in Cuiping Mountain." ”

Li An knelt on his knees, "Thank you for the princess's reward, how can your subordinates be so valued by the princess, there is really nothing to repay." ”

Xu Jinrou motioned to Fang Ruo to help Li An up, "This is what you deserve, and you will get more from doing things seriously in the future." ”

Li An stood up, "My subordinates will definitely do their best to live up to the princess's trust." However, there is a doubt among my subordinates, now that the people of Dachu lack money in their hands, there are not many people who buy brocade, although the Xiban people are rich, but most of them buy brocade from Ximan, so I am afraid it will be difficult to sell after the brocade is ready. ”

Xu Jinrou smiled, "You don't need to worry about this, it won't be long before Da Chu will do business with overseas Tianluo countries, although Tianluo countries lack brocades, they will not buy Ximan's, and then Da Chu's brocades will inevitably be in short supply." ”

Li An's eyes flashed with admiration, "Isn't the princess really able to pinch and calculate, an unknown prophet?" This was the case when guinea fowl were raised. ”

Xu Jinrou's expression was indifferent, "I'm just conjecturing based on the current situation, how can it be as good as you say." ”

Li An was half-convinced, and bowed down to receive the order.

Xu Jinrou told Huo Jinsheng that she asked Ximan Qianzhuang to prepare 50,000 taels of silver, and she would go to get it in person in a few days.

After leaving Cuiping Mountain, Xu Jinrou went to the prison country's mansion, but the servants in the palace told her that Liu Jianguo and Xiao Shu's envoy had drunk all night last night and had not woken up yet.

Xu Jinrou didn't wake up Liu Rentu, this wicked man was drunk and wanted to do something shameful with her, but now that she is pregnant, she can't cope with it.

Two days later, news came that millions of guinea fowl appeared, and after several battles, most of the locusts became chicken food, and the locust plague in Xiban was finally resolved.

Then there was a series of chain reactions, the price of grain in Xiban began to fall first, and within a few days, the price of grain in Dachu returned to normal, and a catastrophe turned invisible.

After drinking the medicinal diet made by Qingluan for nearly two months, Xu Jinrou's pregnancy reaction was indeed not so strong, but her stomach never rose, and she never showed her pregnancy.

Qingluan said that this is a normal phenomenon, some pregnant women will have a big belly in the early stage, and some will not show their pregnancy until the later stage, but the fetus in the womb is normal.

Although a thin pregnant woman will become pregnant early, Xu Jinrou's taller stature should also be the reason why it is not easy to show pregnancy.

In the past few days, Xiao Tianze has been looking for Liu Rentu to drink every day, and Xu Jinrou has never seen him, but on this day, the queen has sent a will to invite Xu Jinrou into the palace.

Xu Jinrou knew what was going on with the queen looking for her, the matter of the Cuipingshan chicken farm could not be airtight, the queen asked her to enter the palace to ask about the situation, and then forced her to sell the Xu Mansion as soon as possible and then hand over the silver to the palace.

However, this time, Xu Jinrou decided to resist and disobeyed.
