After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her
Chapter 186 Sharing with You
The small sleeve arrow looked delicate and easy to carry, as if it was made specially for her. Cheng Songan had just seen its function, and it was very useful to her.
Of course Cheng Songan wanted to accept it, but Cui Yuanqing's words made it impossible for her to accept it calmly. Once she accepted it, it would mean that he would continue to exist in her life.
"No need, I'll just go out less." Cheng Songan said, "Besides, I might leave the capital and go somewhere else in the future. Can you come for me?"
Leaving the capital was her obsession, and Cui Yuanqing always knew it. She wanted to go back to Yizhou, but he always found her.
But now, she should not be so eager to return to Yizhou anymore, because the people of Yizhou are not as kind to her as before. She might go to the northwest and shoot a Gyrfalcon, which is a gentleman's agreement between her and Ming Zhan.
Thinking of Ming Zhan, Cui Yuanqing's face became gloomy again. She had not yet settled the score with him for pulling off her arm.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Cheng Songan smiled as if to ease the atmosphere: "Even if you can, I don't want you to come. Lord Cui, we have our own lives to live in the future. We can't keep entangled. It's not fair to your future wife."
The future lady.
Cui Yuanqing smiled silently, put the sleeve arrow in her hand, and asked, "Do you still want to take care of the disaster?"
The topic changed a little suddenly, but Cheng Songan still nodded. She had been making preparations. These days, she had secretly asked people to reserve a lot of Nanyang potato seeds. At present, the people of the Daqian Dynasty have never eaten this kind of thing and do not like to eat it, so the seeds are extremely cheap. She did not spend much money. When spring comes, she will transport them to Henan and Anhui at a lower price to teach people how to cultivate them.
On the other hand, she secretly ordered large quantities of grain in the name of the Cheng family in Hebei, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces, and signed a contract of sale that could not be revoked once it was signed. Each document had the words "cultivate the mind and break the bones, never change" on it. This would prevent the sellers from repenting and hoarding grain and then selling it at a high price after a drought.
"Is there any more silver?" Cui Yuanqing was not surprised and turned around and asked.
This question hits a sore spot.
The Cheng family was a family of clean officials, not a wealthy family. Even when Old Master Cheng was appointed as a prime minister, the family wealth he had accumulated was only that of the middle class in the capital, and the dowry for Cheng Songan was also fixed. The potato seeds were bought with the gold given by Cui Yuanqing, which was not a large amount, but the purchase of grain was a large commodity transaction, and the cost was not low. She mortgaged all her dowry and barely paid 30% of the deposit.
Cui Yuanqing met her dodging eyes and asked sternly, "You are risking your life and property for an uncertain disaster. Is it worth it?"
"I'm not giving it away for free," Cheng Songan explained. "This deal is large in volume and it's a pre-order, so the price is 10% lower than the market price. If there's no disaster, I won't lose out if I sell it at a low price. If there's a disaster, the price of grain in all grain-producing areas will be several times higher than in previous years, and I'll still sell it at this year's market price, which means I'll make a profit and break even."
Cui Yuanqing sighed: "The world is bustling with people all for profit. The world is bustling with people all for profit. With profit at the top of the list, do you know what some people can do?"
Cheng Songan's eyes turned cold: "I signed a death contract. If anyone regrets it, I will sue him until he is dead. Besides, these grains are sold to the court for disaster relief. If there is a disaster, I will report it to the emperor first. The emperor will not abandon me."
"You haven't answered me yet," Cui Yuanqing continued, "Is it worth it?"
Cheng Songan looked up at the dark night and nodded gently. Her life was a chance for rebirth given to her by God. She changed some things, some people lived because of her, and some died because of her. These changes would affect the fate of many people. She had to do something to apologize to the gods.
Cui Yuanqing looked at her with burning eyes, and after a long while he reached out his hand and touched her head. This action was very intimate, which made Cheng Songan feel very uncomfortable, and she moved away from him.
"Do whatever you want to do. If you get into trouble, just push it onto me and I will share the burden with you." Cui Yuanqing mounted his horse, left these words, and disappeared into the night.
Cheng Songan stared at the direction where he was going, feeling mixed emotions. Was this still the Cui Yuanqing who refused to say a word to her in her previous life? He now seemed to be more like his brother Sansi.
This situation was very bad, and Cheng Songan stopped the idea in time. Fortunately, Haitang and the others hurried back. Several people rushed to her, asked about her well-being, and followed her back to the mountain residence.
"Now that the lord has found you, why don't you keep him for a cup of tea before leaving?" Haitang actually spoke for Cui Yuanqing.
Taxue nodded in agreement. Seeing that Cheng Songan was safe and sound, he resumed his mischievous look and asked with a smile, "Did the two ministers fight here? Is it Lord Cui who is more powerful? Otherwise, why was it Minister Lu who left first?"
Cheng Songan hid the hidden arrow in her clothes so that they wouldn't see it, or they would make fun of her. At the same time, she was puzzled: "How can we fight if Lu Qingshan is not here?"
Several people looked at each other with strange expressions, but Li Wenbin was the most straightforward. He said, "We saw the Cloud Piercing Arrow and rushed back immediately. Halfway, we ran into Minister Lu driving his carriage back. We thought he was sending the young lady back. Haitang called him, but he didn't seem to hear it."
Cheng Songan was silent. It seemed that Lu Qingshan had really been here. The four of them were traveling together, so they were definitely not mistaken. But when did he come? He went back alone without showing up. He must have seen Cui Yuanqing hugging her, which was a bit embarrassing, but when she thought of Cui Yuanqing finding her out of nowhere, she felt warm again.
I felt a little confused in my heart and rubbed my hands unconsciously.
Qiangwei was observant and sharp-eyed. When she saw that she had a wound on her hand and found out what happened, several people immediately turned against her and scolded Cui Yuanqing and Cheng Wanxin respectively.
Haitang pondered and said, "We first found Cui's house. When the master heard about it, he immediately went with us to Lu's house, but found that the young lady had already left. After asking Mrs. Lu, we learned that she had left the house before the young lady left. We then split up with the master and went to look for you separately."
"Why did Master Lu leave you behind? Why did the young lady leave the Lu residence in such a hurry?"
Cheng Songan didn't want to hide it from them, so she told them what Mrs. Lu meant. But she really didn't know why Lu Qingshan suddenly left the house and where he went. Maybe there was an urgent matter to deal with in the government office.
After a day and night of noise, Cheng Songan was extremely tired, so he told everyone to rest. He slept until noon the next day, when he was awakened by the noisy noises outside.
"What happened?" she asked through the window.
Taxue came in bounding and skipping: "This is incredible. The master has sent half of his family fortune to Yuqiao Mountain Villa. Now the whole city is talking about it."
