It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Chapter 123 Aunt Qingluan’s mother? ? Isn’t that my mother-in-law? ?

Lu Yuan didn't want to say anything about the greatest heroes serving their country and their people.

However, sometimes it really is like that.

The amount of money that Yanxiang Club can make in the future is really huge.

What's wrong with earning so much money and using it to improve the lives of your own people?

Do you have to be like that stingy Zhou Paopi, squeezing people until not a single drop of oil comes out?

Not so much.

At present, the construction of the entire factory area is very fast, and it is estimated that it will be completed after the first month of the year.

Someone is going to say something at this time, huh?
In this age without mechanization, how can you build a large factory in just one month?

What are you playing?!
This is mainly because what Lu Yuan is doing now are the most basic.

For example, when it comes to things like factories, Lu Yuan wouldn't build a brick and tile house.

These things are like temporary houses on a construction site.

It's a large frame structure surrounded by a large layer of iron sheets to protect it from wind and rain.

As for the future, it will naturally not be that simple. It will be reinforced from the outside and repaired slowly.

The main thing now is to move in lathes and other equipment and start the production line.

Cities are not built in a day.

Especially this winter, it's already like this. Even if we rush, we won't be able to produce anything good.

Let’s leave it this way for now, as long as we can build a proper dormitory before October this year.

Spring is coming soon, and the weather is gradually getting warmer, so living here won't be so harsh anymore.

The fifteenth day of the first month.

There was a festive atmosphere in the Zhao residence.

Today is the Lantern Festival, which in some places is called Shangyuan Festival or the Little New Year.

Red lanterns were hung in the mansion early in the morning.

Not only the Zhao Mansion, but the entire Taining City was decorated with lights and colors.

As per the custom, today we enjoy the lanterns and eat Yuanxiao.

It's a lively day at home today, Gao Mingna is back.

Li Hemei and her group of cats and dogs also came back.

Logically speaking, Li Hemei and her group should not be able to come back so early.

It was Lu Yuan who asked Li Hemei and her group to come back.

These days, Li Hemei and her team have been monitoring Qing Cangwei.

The messages sent back were not important.

The things that Qingcangwei is investigating are not particularly important industries for Yanxiang Society.

To put it simply, these people are not investigating the core industry of Yanxianghui.

It should be just as mentioned before, maybe they want to set up some small industries of Yanxiang Society to make it look like a good start.

If this is the case, since the other party wants to do it, then let them do it.

Give the imperial envoy some face.

Of course, in order to give face to the imperial envoy, it is not necessary to call Li Hemei and her group back. They still need to be monitored.

it is just……

During this time, Lu Yuan thought about it.

This is although Lu Yuan did not agree with Gao Mingna that he would help her.

There was not even a verbal alliance between Lu Yuan and Gao Mingna.

The only problem is that even so, if you think about it carefully, this matter has actually been decided.

Regardless of whether Lu Yuan is willing or not, Lu Yuan and Gao Mingna have already formed an alliance.

This alliance with Gao Mingna means an alliance with imperial power and the imperial envoy.

So there is no need to monitor Qing Cangwei anymore.

In this case, let’s stop wasting time and quickly let Li Hemei and others come back to celebrate the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

“I said don’t let Qingcangwei investigate.

Li Hemei has returned."

This is the first time Lu Yuan has had time to talk to Gao Mingna in private since she came back this morning.

At this time, the family was hanging lanterns around the inner courtyard.

Gao Mingna was folding lanterns with Lu Yuan in the house.

Gao Mingna listened to Lu Yuan's words and raised her eyes slightly and looked at Lu Yuan.

Gao Mingna has beautiful curved eyes.

In fact, when Gao Mingna came back today and saw the group of people with cats and dogs, she understood what Lu Yuan meant.

However, Lu Yuan did not say it explicitly, so Gao Mingna was not sure.

What if Lu Yuan wanted the cats and dogs to come back to celebrate the holiday, and then leave again tomorrow?

But now that Lu Yuanming had said it, Gao Mingna understood what he meant.

"Oh?

You're moving the cats and dogs back without even consulting me?
Do you believe me now?"

The corners of Gao Mingna's mouth curled up in a beautiful arc.

Lu Yuan had doubted and disbelieved him before, and until now he had transferred the cats and dogs back without discussing it with him or even negotiating any conditions.

This is enough to prove that Lu Yuan believes in himself very much.

There is no one in this world who doesn't like to be trusted.

Gao Mingna was naturally very happy that Lu Yuan was willing to believe in her.

Lu Yuan didn't respond to this, he just looked at Gao Mingna and raised his eyebrows and said:
"What do those Jianzhou Jurchens mean?"

Gao Mingna shook her head and said:
"Nothing, it's just that this group of Jianzhou Jurchens want to hire an immortal and do some business."

Listening to Gao Mingna's words, Lu Yuan frowned.

This is actually very similar to what Yu Zhenqing and his group said when they were leaving.

It's right.

only……

Lu Yuan looked at Gao Mingna curiously and said:
“Is it really that simple?
Would they take such a risk just for something like this?

And if it was that simple, why did you come back now?"

Gao Mingna looked at Lu Yuan and tilted her head slightly, revealing a mysterious smile and said:

"You really want to know?

But let me make it clear first, this matter has nothing to do with you or the guild.

This is about the above things, there is no good in knowing it.

On the contrary, if something happens in the future, you will be in trouble because you know the inside story of it.
You will really be tied to death on the same boat with me."

Ok……

Lu Yuan thought about it for a while, then waved his hand and said:

"Then you better stop talking. I won't listen."

Since it has nothing to do with me, it is dangerous to listen to it.

Then why should I listen? Lu Yuan is not a very curious person.

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Gao Mingna couldn't help but pursed her lips and snorted with some displeasure:

"Pfft, I thought you wanted to ally with me completely."

Listening to Gao Mingna's words, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:

"Who said we wanted to form an alliance with you?
It's just that it seems that there is no other way except to cooperate with you in this matter.

Who made me be targeted by you?

But after this is over, go do whatever you need to do and don’t bother me anymore.”

Gao Mingna did not respond to Lu Yuan's words. She just looked at Lu Yuan and said:

"These days, what you have done has really spread far and wide.

I often heard your name in the military camp.

You always come up with a big one for others."

Lu Yuan knew that Gao Mingna was talking about the bandit suppression.

Don’t talk about this.

Yanxiang is so good at it.

What day is today?

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month!

It has been nine days since the first battalion of the special forces was dispatched on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

During these nine days, starting from the sixth day, five battalions were dispatched simultaneously.

Five special operations battalions have wiped out nine gangs of bandits.

On the Yanxiang Society's side, there were no other casualties except for a special forces member who broke his leg because he lost his balance while climbing the mountain.

And there is still time to wipe out the bandits.

Every day news came back that a bandit’s den had been wiped out.

All these things were discussed privately by the people of Taining City.

After all, no one has ever seen this kind of bandit-suppression posture before.

They surrounded the mountain and started bombing indiscriminately.

We went there in the morning and finished the battle in the afternoon.

In the past, when the government was suppressing bandits, would it take you at least three to five months to accomplish that?
These days, it has become the topic of discussion among everyone outside the Great Wall, and the only thing it has is the Yanxiang Club.

Of course, it was mainly because Prefect Chen played well in coordination.

Lu Yuan just received news that a certain brigade had wiped out a group of bandits.

On the same day, Prefect Chen immediately wrote an official document and sent express horses to post it in front of the government offices outside the Great Wall.

To be honest, the Yanxiang Society is almost becoming a myth in the whole outside the Great Wall now.

This is mainly due to some big braggarts.

How should I describe this place outside the Great Wall?

I'm not being regionally biased, this is just what I'm saying...

The folk customs here are generally that they can speak colloquial language.

And they are not just ordinary people who can speak in plain language. Especially when people here speak in plain language, they just brag about everything, and each one is better at bragging than the other.

If you go to the streets of Taining City now, you will often hear people bragging about the special forces of Yanxiang Society.

What? My eldest nephew is serving in the special forces team.

You may not know this, but my eldest nephew said it.

When they were suppressing bandits, they would carry the red cannon on their shoulders and fire at them.

What else could it be?

My friend's eldest nephew has to say that the Red Lady from Yanxiang Club is really amazing.

As long as the Red Lady is invited out, there will be a huge crowd of people, red flags waving, gongs and drums beating, and firecrackers blasting.

Otherwise, everyone in the special forces team is a god-like soldier sent down from heaven. He saw it with his own eyes.

Holding a magic gun, he could kill one Japanese soldier with one shot from 800 kilometers away. No, it was a bandit.

Anyway, this thing is getting more and more outrageous.

The main thing is that what the special forces are doing now is really weird.

After all, if you look at history over the years, who has ever suppressed bandits in this way?

Going there during the day and coming back at night, how can this be considered as suppressing bandits? Isn't this just a pure spring outing?
So, it’s all thanks to the special forces for doing these evil things.

So no matter how it is blown, no matter which version it is, there will always be people who believe it.

Thanks to these people's bragging, the reputation of Yanxiang Club and Hongfen Niangniang has really risen during this period.

What else is special?

Lu Yuan also brought in people from the villages surrounding the bandits, which again brought him a lot of good reviews.

Anyway, now that the Yanxiang Guild is outside the Great Wall, it is the number one guild both in terms of strength and in the hearts of the people.

Of course, there is also Lady Red.

Nowadays, there are more people worshipping in the earthen temples dedicated to Hongfen Niangniang than in the City God Temple.

As for the current situation, we should do a few big things, not too many, just one or two.

Then Lu Yuan could think of a way to carry Hongfen Niangniang into the City God Temple.

Lu Yuan gave Gao Mingna a smug smile but didn't say much.

Gao Mingna looked at Lu Yuan curiously and said:
"It's not just you who has the final say, right?
What do my eldest sister and third sister think? "

Even if the special forces will help when the time comes, he still has to give an explanation to his eldest sister and third sister.

After all, my eldest sister and third sister had already made plans.

Yanxiang will not get involved in this matter at all.

Regarding this matter, Lu Yuan looked at Gao Mingna and said:
“I haven’t told them yet.

We can discuss it with them later. It’s not a difficult matter.”

Listening to Lu Yuan's words, Gao Mingna nodded seriously.

This is indeed the case.

No one else in this world dares to say it, but if it is Lu Yuan, his sister and younger sister will listen.

"When will the imperial envoy come down?"

Lu Yuan asked curiously again.

Gao Mingna immediately said:
"We have already set out from the Imperial City. We estimate that we will reach Taining City in ten days."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded. Just as he was about to say something else, Aunt Qiaoer walked in.

Looking at the two people in front of her, she said in a soft voice:

"Why are there only two of them~
Hurry up~
There are cats and dogs, and those two little guys are almost dead. "

Listening to Aunt Qiao'er's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh:

"Why do you want this?

How many of them have been hung up? "

Aunt Qiaoer said with a smile:

“The children love hanging lanterns.

The inner courtyard has been hung up, but I want to hang more.

Don’t hang lanterns in the front yard anymore.”

After Aunt Qiaoer finished speaking, she took away the lanterns that Lu Yuan and Gao Mingna had folded.

Before leaving, she did not forget to turn around and ask Lu Yuan and Gao Mingna to fold a few more.

Aunt Qiaoer walked away with the clatter of her high heels.

Gao Mingna looked at her third sister and couldn't help but sigh:

"Qiao'er is a little different from before...

It was really hard to imagine that she would lead her children so happily..."

Lu Yuan didn't say much.

If people can be happy and cheerful, who would want to do bad things and hurt others every day?

……

Early February.

The south gate of Taining City was crowded with people.

Everyone was waiting to welcome the Governor.

Nothing happened during this period of time and everything was very quiet.

Gao Mingna left the Zhao Mansion the day before yesterday.

If I leave this time, I won’t come back this year.

Just like before, after leaving the Zhao Mansion, Gao Mingna was no longer Gao Mingna, but Lingju.

I haven't seen Lady Hongfen during this period.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lu Yuan placed a bowl of Yuanxiao in front of the tablet of Lady Hongfen.

The next day when Lu Yuan went to collect the rice dumplings, he tasted the bowl of Yuanxiao and it had no taste.

In other words, Lady Hongfen has eaten it.

That means there's no major problem with Lady Hongfen, so you can rest assured.

Apart from these, there are things going on in the factory.

There is nothing much to do at the factory and everything is going on as planned.

The workshop has been fully built, and the lathes for each production line have been moved from the previous workshop into the workshop.

Now all the major workshops have started operation.

Everything is getting steadily better.

About half an hour later, a group of people appeared in front of everyone.

Needless to say, this is the imperial envoy.

The surname is Lin.

“Isn’t it nice~
I just made a new appointment with Meijing yesterday~"

Behind the crowd, Aunt Qiaoer was showing her new clothes to Lu Yuan.

A beautiful dress.

Lu Yuan looked at it very seriously and expressed his opinion.

Li Qingluan, who was standing on the outermost side, looked back at the scene, smiled dotingly, shook her head and said nothing more.

Speaking of my sister, ever since she married Lu Yuan, her mind has been no longer on the guild.

Almost all of it is on the little man at home.

Every day I think about what nice clothes to wear and what nice rouge to use.

Just like a little girl in love.

Li Qingluan didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

What I, the third sister, want is this kind of stable and happy life.

In fact, I don't care much about the guild.

In the past, Yanxiang would be in danger in Taining City, and as her third sister, she would be willing to help her.

Now that the Yanxiang Guild is so prosperous outside the Great Wall, my third sister doesn't care much about the affairs of this guild.

That's okay.

If you have to endure all the hard work and intrigue beforehand, you will not be able to relax and enjoy yourself after you succeed.

What's the point of working hard before then?
However, this is his third sister, and he is not interested in her. Or, what he wants is far from being achieved.

The convoy in the distance was getting closer and closer.

We are almost reaching the front of the welcoming team.

However, the imperial envoy has already arrived.

But by the time the imperial envoy arrives at Yanxiang Club, it will still be early.

The above are the officials from various places outside the country.

It would take at least half an hour for the imperial envoy to greet officials from all places and then come to the Yanxiang Club.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Yuan and Zhao Qiaoer and the others were not in a hurry at all and were chatting casually in the back without taking it seriously.

As the madam of Yanxiang Club, Li Qingluan could only stand in the front properly and maintain her demeanor.

Speaking of which, Li Qingluan also wanted to hide behind the crowd and let her little man see if the new hair accessories she was wearing today looked good.

But, who makes me the eldest sister?

When the imperial envoy's carriage got closer and closer and finally stopped.

Li Qingluan's expression suddenly became strange.

From the initial shock, to disbelief, to trembling all over and a face full of shock.

Li Qingluan's unusual movement was naturally felt by Lu Yuan, Zhao Qiaoer and Jin Meijing who were behind Li Qingluan.

It is rare to see Li Qingluan's mood change drastically.

"what happened?"

Lu Yuan quickly took Aunt Qingluan's hand and asked in a low voice.

At this moment, Li Qingluan turned around in shock, looked at Lu Yuan behind him with a look of disbelief, and stammered:
"I...I feel my mother's breath..."

Ah? ?

Lu Yuan blinked.

Aunt Qingluan’s mother? ?

Isn't that my mother-in-law?
