Prodigal Son System [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 40 The Second World
For more than a month, the beard that Xiao Ran "grows" with the hair she cut off didn't grow very long, but in order not to let Jing Yan see the strangeness, she directly glued back the original beard. .Xiao Yuankui was very pleased with the fact that Xiao Ran got a beard glued on from nowhere.That's the only way to look like a man!The Xiaobai face before is really embarrassing to the Xiao family!
When Xiao Ran arrived at the private room of the agreed restaurant, Jing Yan was already waiting inside.
"Master Xiao..." When Jing Yan saw Xiao Ran, he stood up excitedly.Since Li Ran's "farewell without saying goodbye" last time, Jing Yan has not seen Xiao Ran for several months, "Last time I heard from Ah Zhan that you were assassinated and seriously injured, how are you doing now? I didn't see Mr. Xiao going to the court, Prime Minister Xiao said that you are still at home to cultivate..."
"Actually, my injury has healed a long time ago. It's just that I have been imprisoned by Xiao Yuankui in Xiao's house during this time." Xiao Ran motioned Jing Yan to sit down, took a cup of tea that Jing Yan poured for him, and then turned to Jing Yan. Tell about Xiao Yuankui's main purpose for letting himself go to the appointment this time.
Jing Jing waited for Xiao Ran to finish talking about Xiao Yuankui's plot, propped his chin and fell into deep thought.
Seeing Jing Yan like this, Xiao Ran thought that she was also very resistant to Xiao Yuankui's despicable tricks, so he added: "Miss Jing, I think it's better for you to break off the engagement with me as soon as possible. Xiao Yuankui will always stare at you. Now that you are in such a beautiful position, Xiao Yuankui will not let you go if you don't get rid of your thorn in your eye. Also, these days, you should be more careful, if his plan doesn't succeed today , I think he will plan the next time!"
"Actually..." Jing Yan paused for a moment, but still told Xiao Ran what happened in the past month. "Since last month, there have been thieves trying to break into my mansion one after another. Fortunately, Ah Zhan sent me a team of guards. They all used ang to kill all these thieves. I was still wondering who sent these thieves, but now it seems that they must have something to do with Xiao Yuankui."
In his heart, Xiao Ran mourned for Xiao Yuankui who died in vain for a second, and then curiously asked about the progress of the women's fire team.
"It's progressing very fast, and now everyone looks good. These girls have no fear of being able to set foot on the battlefield in the future. Instead, they are faintly excited. Also, you know about the Beijing Women's College, Young Master Xiao, right?" ?Using the books you gave me, Mr. Xiao, Ah Zhan has cultivated a large number of talents of all kinds. In addition to military affairs and politics, Ah Zhan pays special attention to the cultivation of agriculture, industry, forestry and commerce that Mr. Xiao you proposed at the beginning! In order to cultivate Out of the most powerful army in the Yin Kingdom, Ah Zhan decided to follow your advice, Mr. Xiao, and began to encourage business. She also promised the students who choose to study business that if they are good enough in the future, they will be awarded the title of "Imperial Merchant" .”
"That's great!" Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have always had the lowest status in ancient times, even the ancient plane where Xiao Ran is located is no exception.If the queen can break the stereotypes and pay more attention to businessmen, the Yin country will be stronger in the future. "I think that if we can cultivate another royal caravan and sell some special products of the Yin country, or the glass mirrors and glass cups developed by the disciples of the Mohism, to other countries at a high price, we will surely gain more benefits!"
After listening to Xiao Ran's suggestion, Jing Ting's eyes lit up.The blueprints that Xiao Ran handed him back then, apart from water conservancy projects and ammunition, the rest were some strange gadgets that he had never heard of.It is these little gadgets that the Mohist disciples are very happy to ponder over, and the glass mirrors and glass cups they make are really amazing to me.At that time, I and Ah Zhan didn't want to sell these treasures, but just wanted to keep them for my own use.
"Sure enough, compared to Mr. Xiao, our vision is too narrow after all. Did you know that apart from glass mirrors and colored glass cups, the disciples of the Mohist school also made other things that look gorgeous but are useless? When we arrive at a warehouse, even in the warehouse, we don’t like taking up space! Now it seems that we can exchange these 'waste' occupying space for more value!"
Xiao Ran was naturally very happy that the blueprints he drew were so valued. "After I go back, I can still draw some blueprints with Xiaoguan, but I don't know if I will meet again in the future to give you the blueprints..." Thinking of his prison-like life recently, Xiao Ran sighed softly.
"Young Master Xiao!" Seeing Xiao Ran's sudden depression, Jing Yan suddenly raised his voice, "Why don't you... just follow what Xiao Yuankui said?"
"!!!" Xiao Ran seemed to understand what Jing Yan said, but he didn't seem to understand, "Miss Jing, what you said... I don't really understand..."
Facing Li Ran's staring eyes, Jing Yan blushed, bit her lower lip, summoned up her courage, and said seriously to Li Ran: "Young Master Xiao, I mean, it's better that our engagement is not broken. You... Just as Xiao Yuankui said, we... uncooked rice and cooked rice, you will not only explain to Xiao Yuankui when you go back, but he will not stare at me so much in the future, and may even win me over to his side , by then, I may be able to understand his conspiracy more clearly. At the same time, we will be able to meet frequently in the future, and it will be more convenient if you have any blueprints you want to pass on to me!"
For Jing Yan to have such an open mind, Xiao Ran, a modern person, was shocked for a long time.After a long time, Xiao Ran looked at Jing Yan in a complicated manner, and said in a serious tone: "Miss Jing, you know, if... I really do that, do you know how much it will damage your reputation? Besides, in the future, if you Those who are interested..."
"It's okay!" Jing Jing looked back at Xiao Ran with extremely firm eyes, "I don't care about these false names! Now I just want to help Ah Zhan, help her stabilize her power, and help her become stronger and stronger! People or something, I..." Jing Jing moved his eyes away, and when Xiao Ran didn't pay attention, he hid the nostalgia in his eyes, "I don't think there will be any more..."
"No! I can't do this!" For Jing Yan's proposal, Xiao Ran refused without thinking. Although, if he became himself, he should be much freer in the future, but Xiao Ran didn't want to do this.Let's not say that I don't have the hardware conditions, but in this ancient times with backward thinking, I can't easily destroy a woman's reputation.
For Xiao Ran's unhesitating refusal, Jing Ting's eyes darkened, but soon, he cheered up and tried his best to persuade Xiao Ran. "Why not? Mr. Xiao, there is a marriage contract between you and me. In the eyes of some people, I will marry into the Xiao family sooner or later..."
"But there are more people, as well as the people who support you, who think that you will definitely cancel the engagement with me! In their hearts, a person like me is not worthy of you at all!"
"No! Young Master Xiao, how could such a talented person like you not be worthy of me? Strictly speaking, I am not good enough for you! If it were not for your persuasion and encouragement, Young Master Xiao, I would not be worthy now." Under the control of the Jing family, I live without myself at all!"
"But everyone doesn't know..."
"But I know! So I don't mind!"
Facing Jing Yan's sudden agitation, Xiao Ran froze.As for Jing Yan, she also realized that her behavior at the moment was a little out of line, afraid that Xiao Ran would see something, so she also fell silent.
After a while, Xiao Ran sighed and said softly: "Miss Jing, you..."
Xiao Ran's soft voice tightly tugged on Jing Yan's tense heart.
"You really did your best for the queen, but I hope that while you are helping her so hard, you can also have your own life, so you don't have to wrong yourself."
"No..." Jing Yan's nails pierced into her palm fiercely, and she controlled her voice, "No, I don't feel wronged!" After finishing speaking, she took a deep breath, and continued to persuade Xiao Ran: "Young Master Xiao, this is the only way to solve your current predicament. Only because of our marriage relationship, Xiao Yuankui will not continue to target me, and maybe he will give me a little trust. I can pretend On the surface, she is the empress, but secretly spread some false news to Xiao Yuankui, and Mr. Xiao, you don’t need to be persecuted by Xiao Yuankui anymore, and you don’t need to be confined in Xiao’s house. We can help you if we need your help. It's easy to reach you..."
Without Jing Yan's analysis, Xiao Ran also understood that this was the best solution.You don't have to worry about scaring the snake, and you can also grasp the enemy's secret movements.But... Xiao Ran glanced at Jing Yan, and always felt that he was very sorry for her.
"Okay, I accept your proposal. But I don't think we need to make raw rice and cook it. We just need to put on a show and tell Xiao Yuankui that I have succeeded. After all, if the empress really gets rid of those restless poisonous snakes in the future , if you and I dissolve the engagement again, you will have an explanation to your future lover..."
"No..." Jing Ting wanted to explain again that he would never have someone he likes again, but when he thought of something, he clenched his fists tighter, and his voice changed into: "Okay, I also think that only It's good to put on a show, after all...Young Master Xiao can also explain to your future lover."
Regarding Jing Yan's words, Xiao Ran just smiled and didn't say anything.However, Xiao Ran's attitude made Jing Ting feel even more sad.
What should be said has already been said, and when the two of them fell silent at the same time, Xiao Ran suddenly thought of the empress's strength again, his heart tightened inexplicably, and he spoke again and emphasized to Jing Yan: "Miss Jing, please promise me , no matter what, you can’t tell the queen what I did!”
Seeing Xiao Ran's serious attitude, Jing Yan couldn't help but solemnly nodded his promise.This is not the first time Xiao Ran has emphasized it. Even though Jing Yan didn't understand why Xiao Ran was so jealous of Yin Zhan, she still nodded seriously and said, "Young Master Xiao, don't worry, I will never tell Ah Zhan..."
"Don't tell me anything!"
Before Jing Yan could finish speaking, the door of the private room was kicked open, and immediately after, Yin Zhan came in with a few guards with unkind faces.
"..."
Xiao Ran and Jing Yan looked at each other, and Jing Yan was also taken aback by Yin Zhan who broke in suddenly.
"Azhan, why are you here?"
"Hmph! Knowing that you agreed to the appointment with that old man Xiao Yuankui and this guy, I'm not at ease, so I'll come over and have a look!" Yin Zhan glanced at Xiao Ran coldly, and when he met Jing Yan's suspicious gaze, his tone eased again. Slow down: "Yuan, what are you doing with this guy and hiding it from me?"
"I...I..." Jing Jing glanced at Xiao Ran quickly, then lowered her head, and replied in a panic: "No... nothing, just talking to Young Master Xiao about our marriage..."
"How, how did the talk go?"
"Azhan, I...I decided to marry Mr. Xiao..."
"Yuan!" After hearing Jing's answer, Yin Zhan's voice suddenly rose, "Yin! This guy's rhetoric is unbelievable, why do you..."
"Ah Zhan, listen to me, Young Master Xiao is different from Xiao Yuankui, we can try..."
"Yu Xuan!" Yin Zhan interrupted impatiently without waiting for Jing Xuan to finish speaking. She glared at Xiao Ran who was standing there loading wood, and said viciously: "It's none of your business here, why don't you hurry up and give it to me?" I'm going!"
Then, Xiao Ran rolled away in a hurry.Well, I have a whole night, so I just went to watch it.
After Xiao Ran left, Yin Zhan walked to Xiao Ran's position, and when Jing Yan was not paying attention, he picked up a bag of things that Xiao Ran had left on the chair, with a thoughtful look on his face.
When Xiao Ran arrived at the private room of the agreed restaurant, Jing Yan was already waiting inside.
"Master Xiao..." When Jing Yan saw Xiao Ran, he stood up excitedly.Since Li Ran's "farewell without saying goodbye" last time, Jing Yan has not seen Xiao Ran for several months, "Last time I heard from Ah Zhan that you were assassinated and seriously injured, how are you doing now?
