Syndicate Growth Manual

Zhao Min returned to his own Zhilan Garden, without saying a word, he went back to the inner room with a brocade box in his hands.Qian Jin was placing supper on a small square table with blue sea and clouds in the main room, seeing this, she looked at Bai Zhu who then opened the curtain and came in.

Bai Zhu shook her head at her, seeing that the inner room was closed even the partition, she didn't dare to go in and disturb her.She dragged Qianjin out, hid in the corridor and told the story.

Qian Jin had the same reaction as hers, although she was shocked, but also a little happy.

"You said, Master Cui is..."

Baizhu nodded affirmatively, and whispered: "Of course, I looked at him, but he was wearing dark clothes. It can be seen that he was waiting there specially, knowing that our eighth lady would ask him to deliver things every New Year's day...... Give it to Ba Niangzi's flower hairpin, so why do you need to guess the meaning?"

Qianjin was so excited that her face turned red, she clenched her fists and said, "Then, can you ask Your Majesty to cancel the previous marriage? Master Cui comes from the Cui family of Qinghe, and is the eldest son and grandson, so he is worthy of our eighth lady." , not like that Zhao Yuan! It looks like a piece of wood, without any friendship at all!"

Baizhu also agrees with this statement, not to mention that she knows her wife well, so I'm afraid she won't be tempted.But she knew better what the so-called gift of marriage was.

Let's see if the folks mention Zhao Chen and his son again, which one doesn't say hello! ?Your Majesty will not easily cancel the marriage just to win over the heroes and generals.She knows the truth, how can someone as smart as the lady not know?It is precisely because of this that the lady's expression is so sad, perhaps, she is crying in the room at this moment.

Met the man I liked, but married someone else...

"Don't talk about it anymore," Baizhu sighed, "The marriage must not be cancelled, why bother to arouse the lady's thoughts, it will only increase troubles in the end."

When Zhao Min came out again, his expression was very calm, but Qianjin looked at it quietly, with a tinge of red in the corner of her eyes, she might have really cried a lot.

"What kind of cheese is this?" She sat down in front of the table and looked at the small bowl in front of her.The bowl is filled with snow-white and crystal-clear milk, sometimes with some rose-red things sandwiched in it, and there is a slight air of coolness, obviously it has been chilled.

Baizhu knelt aside, looked at her expression carefully, and said, "Sour plum cheese, I brought it from the Evergreen Garden of the eldest lady during the day."

Zhao Min was stunned, took a bite with a spoon and ate it. It was cool and smooth in the mouth. The crumbled sour plum meat was more sour than usual, but it was refreshing and appetizing when paired with sweet cheese.Although this food shouldn't be eaten at night, but she didn't have much appetite at first, and she would be more energetic after eating it...

She thought for a while and asked: "The people from Evergreen Garden sent this cheese, but what else did they say?"

Baizhu went out with her, so of course she didn't know, Qianjin said: "Not only cheese, but also a box of newly made jewelry, and a few horses of this year's new materials, all of which are light blue stone, green lotus root and lotus powder blue. , I cut the clothes to be worn in summer, which is suitable for summer... The servant girl greeted the eldest lady on behalf of the lady, and said that everything is good, but in the recent bitter summer, I don’t eat much, but I like to eat this cheese.”

Zhao Min opened her eyes wide, Qian Jin's words went through her mind a few times, and she came to a conclusion.

"Sister, do you have it?"

Both Baizhu and Qianjin looked at her in disbelief, and they didn't know how their wife came to such a conclusion.

After all, Wang Jijing has never given birth since she got married.

They naturally didn't know the inside story, but Zhao Min did.In the past, Zhao Jing hated Yuan He, but Gein still thought about Zhao Chen and couldn't let it go, so naturally he couldn't accept the man next to him... This point, no matter what kind of woman it is, is the same.There is one more thing that women all over the world have in common, and that is appointment.

Women are different from men. Men in the world have many ways to live. They can live without a family, and they can wander for half their lives, but they never lack the company of confidante, women who bear children; but women, they have to have a family. They can be lofty or lonely, and they can dislike their husbands, but no matter their status is high or low, they will eventually go back to the back house to have children, and their hearts will slowly return to their nests from then on, and they can't live without them.

Zhao Min could see clearly, she knew that her elder sister would not be able to escape from her original family in the end.

The Yuan clan is a big family in the Central Plains, like the Cui clan, it has lasted for hundreds of years, regardless of whether the descendants are good or not, but they are best at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.Even though Yuan He is not the eldest son, he also understands the generations of wealth that Zhao Jing can bring to him and his family, so how could he just watch the husband and wife separate?Yuan He used to be a well-known noble son in Jiangcheng. Naturally, he is not a general like Zhao Chen, but he is also proficient in bow and horse, and is proficient in the six arts. As long as he puts his mind to it, Zhao Jing may not be able to withstand his water-grinding kung fu. It only took more than a year. Still in the same room.

These days, having kids is just a matter of course.

"Go, get a horse that is red and full of gold," Zhao Min settled down, and ordered, "There is still time, I want to embroider a picture of a hundred children playing for my elder sister, and make a quilt for my nephew at that time... It's still cold, so I can make a few more jackets."

Before Baizhu had finished, Qianjin took a deep breath: "Lady, it takes more than half a year to embroider the picture of Baizi playing, how can I embroider it? The little man is too big, even if he made a quilt, that, that is too big." It's over."

Zhao Min took a mouthful of cheese and stopped talking.

She felt very tired, and she was even more tired when she found out about Zhao Jing's happy event.

Returning to Xiguan one month later, Zhao Chen received the return from the hidden guard with a thoughtful expression.

Zhao Yuan was sitting beside him, and couldn't help but moved towards Zhao Chen.

"Father, what's in it?"

Zhao Chen naturally put away the silk that was as thin as a cicada's wing, and said casually, "Zhao Jing is pregnant."

"What?!" Zhao Yuan raised his brows and looked at him in surprise, "That crazy woman can also get pregnant?"

Zhao Chen looked at his stupid son patiently.

"Whether she's crazy or not has nothing to do with whether she can get pregnant?"

Zhao Yuan told him to choke, folded his arms and did not speak.He didn't like Zhao Jing, that crazy girl. At that time, he had suffered for many days, not to mention that Li Chun had been ill for several months, and Fan's almost... Sigh.

Now that he thinks about Zhao Jing again, he feels weird again.Logically speaking, the monarch Zhao Mian is his uncle, so isn't Zhao Jing his cousin?When Uncle Shen came over a few years ago, the first thing he said was "You look a lot like Wang Jijing", and then he secretly put a few bugs in Uncle Shen's appetizers.How did he know that there is a reason for the resemblance, cousins ​​and brothers, it is completely normal to look a little bit alike.

If Zhao Jing was born, wouldn't he become a cousin?

"I remember she was married to that..." Zhao Yuan thought hard for a long time, and clapped his hands, "That Yuan family!" He looked at his father, "The Yuan family, isn't it against us?"

Zhao Chen pinched his son's chin and shook it, the corner of his mouth curled up and said, "To be precise, it's a problem with generals. When Lu Tuo was in charge of the three armies, the original family's head couldn't look down on Lu Tuo. Since Lu Tuo married the Eldest Princess, he should be resigned from the military, and Lu Tuo almost drew his sword and chopped off the arm of the original Patriarch in court..."

He didn't tell Anu, in fact, later the king enumerated the crimes committed by the Lu family, which included the contribution of the Yuan family.Not only is the Yuan family resenting Lutuo's rudeness, but they are also dissatisfied with Lu's father and son's domination of the government.

But he didn't say anything, Zhao Yuan was not stupid, he knew that the Yuan family had quarreled with the Lu family in the past, and when the Lu family fell, the Yuan family might also be thrown into trouble.He turned his head, and became more curious about the piece of silk that Zhao Chen hid.A secret report was passed from Jiangcheng to Xiguan on a fast horse, and it was absolutely impossible just to tell his father that Zhao Jing was pregnant...

Zhao Chen said softly: "Don't make a wild guess, some things haven't happened yet, so it's hard for Father to tell you."

"Oh, I see." Zhao Yuan tugged at the blanket on the ground depressed.He thought to himself, could he still do bad things?Hiding it so tightly... There must be some terrible news inside!

Zhao Chen looked at his son's little virtue like a cat's claws scratching his heart, and his usual Ling Ran's eyebrows and eyes became soft like water.There are such emotions in the world, just looking at the person in front of him, my heart is full of joy, he laughed and cried, I want to look at every appearance carefully so that I can remember it in my heart... for him As far as Anu is concerned, even if Anu doesn't need him to shelter from the wind and rain one day, he still wants to guard and protect Anu. Why should the other party worry about those dirty things?

At the beginning of July, the monarch sent another envoy to call Zhao Yuan back to Jiangcheng to get married.

Liqiu and Lixia serve Zhao Yuan to change clothes.At this time, Zhao Yuan was about to turn 14 in half a year. In Zhao State, he was already old enough to marry a wife and have children. He had lived in the army for many years, and his height was almost five feet six. Calculated according to the unit of later generations, It's almost 1.7 meters.Most of Zhao's adult men are 1.7 to 1.7 meters five, and there are more tall men in the army, so he stood there, except for his slightly immature face, no one dared to look at him as a child.

Li Qiu smoothed out Zhao Yuan's black hair, tied it all up on the top of his head into a man's single bun, and fixed it with a jade hairpin. Li Xia chose a dark green thin satin coat for him, with only a few lotus sticks at the corners. leaf.When he put it on, he was tall and straight, very refreshing.

When the envoy saw Zhao Yuan, he was also secretly surprised.He had met Zhao Yuan before. At that time, he was only a little doll that reached the general's thigh. It has only been a few years!

He originally thought that Zhao Yuan grew up in the wind and sun in Xiguan, and his prestige may be prestige, but it is definitely not as good as Jiangcheng, such as Fan Cheng and Fan Xin, or the famous Zhenlang, not all generals look like that ?Even Zhao Chen, the handsome general when he was young, is now dark-skinned, tall and strong, far from the aesthetics of the countries in the Central Plains.

But the young man who came out of the inner room was tall and slender, with broad shoulders and a slender waist. She is slender and thick black, her phoenix eyes are clear and energetic, her nose is straight and straight, her lips are brightly colored, and she is full of heroic vigor and delicate beauty of a teenager.

"Xiao Yuanlang is really Mr. Meilang, and Min Ji is the so-called harmony between heaven and man!" The envoy exclaimed.

Zhao Yuan's face suddenly turned cold, and he folded his arms and raised his chin, saying: "But don't talk about me and that troublesome son Min Ji! I want to marry a fair-skinned and beautiful wife! Go back and tell Your Majesty, I, Zhao Yuan, would like to die for His Majesty, but I can never marry Min Ji! Please take back the treasure and allow me to marry another!"

"This..." The envoy looked at him in shock, and couldn't believe what he heard for a moment, "This is... are you, are you crazy?"

Zhao Yuan waved his hand with an impatient expression, "Take this lord to rest in the wing!"

When Jiangcheng came, he maintained an expression of not closing his mouth, and was pushed out by the guards.As soon as the others disappeared outside the door, the arrogance on Zhao Yuan's face subsided. Although his face was expressionless, there was guilt in his eyes.

He knew that once his words were spread back to Jiangcheng, he was afraid that Zhao Min would suffer from the rumors, and his words were so contemptuous... I wonder if she would not be able to bear it, if she did something stupid——

Zhao Yuan never thought that one day he would do something to hurt an innocent person for himself.However, only if he said this would he reduce the suspicion of the monarch to a greater extent. After all, the rumors about Min Ji outside are not good. He is a teenager and has never seen his fiancée. Based on hearsay, he is young and active Being sought after, it is also reasonable to make a move to refuse marriage.

Such boastful, arrogant and rude, even if he has some military merits, what kind of achievements can he have in the future?

Liqiu, Lixia, Lidong and the others stood aside with shocked expressions.
