Fenglin Tianxia – Queen with a Thousand Pets

Chapter 391 Everyone’s Thoughts

Entering July, Bianjing has reached its hottest time, but for those who have a lot of salt and tea in their hands, this is more worrying than the weather.

In the Tang Dynasty's residence in Bianjing, a large number of ice cubes were placed in the study, but it could not reduce the rising heat.

How much cash do we have left? Chen Xi looked at the account book and asked with a slightly gloomy expression.

There are still more than one million yuan. The steward lowered his head and replied.

Well, let's follow their ratio. This year's rice will be harvested early.

Girl, what should I do with those tea leaves and salt drinks? We can't pick up the goods at all now. The steward raised his head slightly and glanced at Chen Xi and asked.

Give it to the prince. That's what the prince has agreed to do. He asked the prince to go to the political affairs hall. Chen Xi threw away the account book, stood up irritably, walked around a few times, and said: Go to Jiaoyinpu to lower the price. Sell half of it.”

The stewards in the room all left, and a maid came in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge. She glanced at the little maid who was standing timidly aside, put on a considerate smile and said, Girl, have some porridge.

Chen Xi sat on the chair, took off the veil and threw it aside, letting out a long sigh. That pig, King Tang, told him again and again not to pick up so many goods, but he refused to listen. Now he is fine. He has millions of strings of tickets in his hand but he cannot pick up the goods! No matter what you do this time, you will lose millions! Moreover, the old man in the family didn’t know why he was so upset that he canceled his marriage to Zhao Yinfeng at such a good opportunity! Nothing goes as planned...

Xia He, I remember that at this time, the lotus flowers in Anguo Duke's mansion were in bloom, right? Chen Xi's sudden question made Xia He stunned for a moment, and then replied: Yes, but now the mansion is Dingguo It's the palace, I heard that Mrs. Yang has never come out since she moved in.

Really? Didn't you say that Cheng Jia lives at her place a few days ago?

I live in a separate courtyard, Mr. Han's place.

I'll leave the next post for her. I'll see when it's convenient for her. I'll go see the lotus flowers.

Xia He is just right, can we share the reward? Ling Qingyu put down the post, turned his head and asked, Yan Qi, who is this Miss Chen?

He is from the Chen family in Yingchuan. His father is the minister of the third rank of Zhengsheng. The marriage between his sister and Zhao Yinfeng broke off after the Zhao family was defeated. Their relationship with the Tang Dynasty is very subtle. They have no status, but they live in the Tang Dynasty. In the royal palace in Bianjing, she is in charge of the palace's internal affairs and manages the properties under the Tang Dynasty's name. She opened the Tianyi Building. Yan Qi said while gently waving the fan behind her head.

Ling Qingyu looked at the lake. The lotus flowers in the lake had already bloomed half of the lake surface. The green lotus leaves lined the graceful flowers. The breeze blew, bringing the subtle fragrance all over the lake.

Xia He is just right. I heard that the scenery here is one of the best in Bianjing. Ling Qingyu sighed. Cheng Jia and Wang Xuanzhi were the only people who had been to Bianjing for so long, but it was understandable. Su Wanyun was about to get married, and the family must have He won't let her out, and I'm afraid it won't be easy for the rest of them to come, right?

Do you agree to her coming? Yan Qi picked up the post and asked.

Did her family not tell her about this relationship with Prince Tang? Ling Qingyu asked.

It is said that Mr. Chen has severed the father-daughter relationship with her. This person has a very bad reputation in Bianjing and basically has no contact with the ladies. Yan Qi flipped the lightly scented post in his hand and said.

So, let's refuse for the time being. I'm still in a state of sadness. How can I be in the mood to look at lotus flowers? Moreover, we can't have anything to do with other forces now.

Okay! Yan Qi threw the post to Ying Shisan and said, Just say that Madam is in bed now. When she recovers, she will sweep the bed to welcome her.

Ling Qingyu chuckled lightly and said, I am seriously ill in bed. By the way, how is Cheng Jia doing?

We can't let anyone into the Cheng Mansion right now, but there's no news yet, so he probably didn't say anything, right? Yan Qi pondered for a while and replied. According to the doctor, Cheng Jia was seriously ill this time. He was bedridden for several days and he was not beaten. Who could show him that he looked so seriously injured?

Well, I have to tell Ding Dong. Be prepared to retreat at any time and arrange the boat. If something happens to those shopkeepers and family members, we can't let them suffer. Ling Qingyu leaned back slightly and leaned on the chest behind him. ,road.

Yan Qi put his hands around her waist, laid his head on her shoulder, and said, Okay! If something really happened, if he really couldn't send her away at that time, then let's die together.

The cold touch of her fingers woke Cheng Jia up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yao Yue's face with a trace of panic. Moving his eyes downwards, he saw her hands on the string of her clothes. Looking back at her, her eyes It has some depth in it.

Sir, it's the master. The master wants a slave. Yao Yue said with a blush.

Cheng Jia's eyes were a little erratic. The year he won the first prize, his father decided to make a maid next to his aunt his wife. Later, he found out that the maid was actually a spy that his aunt had put in his room, so he asked her directly. He drove him out and asked the maids in his room to be his maids, but he was not interested in this kind of thing at that time, and he didn't pay attention to those maids. It wasn't until that time that he knew **** **** What a happy thing.

Seeing that Cheng Jia didn't move, Yaoyue mustered up the courage to untie the belt, and at the same time looked at Cheng Jia carefully. Everyone in the house knew that the young master had mysophobia, and the young master was not good at such things in the room. The girls who were married to each other were kicked out of the courtyard after not staying long. In the past two years, there were no girls at all, so much so that the servants secretly told the story that the young master had broken his sleeve?

The fingers were cold and had a greasy feeling, crawling on his body like a caterpillar. When Yao Yue opened his clothes and caressed the skin, Cheng Jia couldn't help it anymore and pushed him away. Open, lying on the bedside and vomited.

Master! The bookcase who had been peeking outside rushed in, waved his hands at Yao Yue, who was huddled at the foot of the bed in fear, and told her to leave quickly, while picking up a tea bowl and rinsing Cheng Jia's mouth.

Isn’t it okay to invite a woman as beautiful as Yue Yue? The book desk sighed inwardly, and quickly cleaned up after Cheng Jia rinsed his mouth. Seeing that what Cheng Jia spit out was just some bitter water, he felt dark again. These days I just eat gruel, and there is still something to throw up.

Book desk, get ready, I'm going to court. Cheng Jia ordered as he leaned against the bed and took a few breaths.

Sir! Why are you going to court like this? Didn't the master ask for leave for you? Shuan asked in surprise.

If something happens tomorrow, I must go. Cheng Jia looked at the sky outside, pointed at the table and said, Bring me the medicine.

The bookcase was stunned for a moment, then he remembered the medicines sent by Han Jue, and hurriedly ran over and took out the medicine bag, saying: Yes, even Dr. Xu said this is the best medicine. At that time, Dr. Xu kept saying I asked where this medicine came from. With such good medicine, Cheng Jia's illness must be fine. Unfortunately, the young master has always refused to take it.

Cheng Jia took the pill and swallowed one. Tomorrow morning, the court would decide the punishment for this battle. He had to listen to it no matter what. The original reward for Heishui Pass was given in a hurry at the suggestion of the second prince. The political hall's original intention was to confuse the situation and use military exploits to cover up the failure and the 30 million military expenses. The reward for Heishui Pass was not increased. There is no reason, only an inexplicable result, and the defeat of the New Army and Zhao Jiajun is not mentioned at all, so the people of the country have no idea why Yang Zhao was posthumously named Ding Guogong, and he kept praising the Zhengshitang and Zhengshitang. Your Majesty, the court is really kind to give such a high reward just for dying in battle. Those defeated generals have been staying at home and have not been punished. It is not that the political hall does not want to punish them, but once they are punished, they will naturally investigate the causes of the war and the 30 million military expenditures. This is what Zhengshitang is unwilling to face. But he has picked out all of these now, so he must go and see what the result will be tomorrow.

Master, can I bring you a bowl of porridge? Shuben asked cautiously. When Cheng Jia nodded, he hurriedly signaled to Huaban standing at the door.

Not only Cheng Jia paid attention to the morning court on July 6th, but many people also paid attention.

In the Duke's Mansion, Zhao Mingliang kept wandering around outside the study, looking at the silhouettes of the old man and Zhao Yinfeng on the window, wishing he could rush in and listen to what they had to say.

When Zhao Yinfeng walked out of the study, what he saw was Zhao Mingliang's rare anxious look, although when he saw him, he immediately returned to the calm and composed person he was.

There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, and Zhao Yinfeng left without even saying hello. He took 30 million guan. Zhao Mingliang secretly swallowed 15 million guan this time, and left a little money to return to the Ministry of War, as Zhao Mingliang. The sincerity of the family was shown to the political hall. Just because he swallowed these fifteen million yuan, even if he sent so many people to die, can he be forgiven for causing such a huge defeat for the Zhao family for the first time? A person like this still needs my help? Grandpa, what do you think I am?

Zhao Mingliang hesitated, then walked into the study, bowed his hands and stood in front of the old man.

Have you collected the money? Mr. Zhao looked up at him and asked.

Yes, the silver notes are here. I want them to hide the copper coins and silver first. Zhao Mingliang respectfully held a stack of silver notes in front of the old man with both hands.

Please put this away. From now on, the war matters will be handed over to Yinfeng. I will apologize to you tomorrow morning. You don't have any position. The title cannot be taken away from you. At most, I will give you a few words of reprimand. He looked at Zhao Mingliang. On his face, the old man put on a rare stern face and said: I decided to hand over all the Zhao family's wealth to you this time, not because I want you to become an official. This Zhou Dynasty is almost done. Let's If you add more heat, the time is almost there. With Yin Feng helping you conquer the world, what are you still afraid of?

But I want to prove to you that even on the battlefield, I am stronger than Zhao Yinfeng! Although he was thinking this, Zhao Mingliang said respectfully: My grandson will definitely cooperate well with his third brother if he knows about it.
