Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 43

During the rainy season, everything is wet and wet, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Cheng Fu thought he had arrived early, but Wu Ying didn't want Wu Ying to be there sooner, as if she had been waiting for a long time.The elegant room they lived in was the most luxurious on the boat, and the refreshments on the table were exquisite.

"I wanted to talk to you a long time ago, but there was never a suitable time." Wu Ying changed a pot of freshly brewed tea and added it for her.

"I'm just a small person making a living in Jinling City, so I don't deserve Young Master Wu's attention."

The boat was out of the pier, the sound of the pipa came from the first floor, and then someone was singing Jiangnan ditty, the soft voice was very touching.

"Miss Cheng is too modest." Wu Ying dressed more flamboyantly today, which complemented his alluring face, and no one could help but look at him more.

Cheng Fu thought this person was good-looking from the bottom of his heart, "Master Wu invited me, do you want to cooperate or make friends?"

Wu Ying raised her eyebrows, "What's the difference?"

"I never do business with friends." She was curious, didn't Wu Ying understand the reason behind all these years?
Wu Ying really didn't understand, but what the little girl said surprised him. He didn't expect that at a young age, she also knew the eternal law that if you do business with friends, you will lose them.

"Then Miss Cheng thinks you and I are suitable to be business partners or friends?"

"..." I didn't expect the other party to let her make a choice.

"What kind of business is Hongzehang mainly involved in now?"

Wu Ying is not surprised that she made this choice. In fact, sometimes business partners are much more durable and reliable than many relationships, as long as everyone has the same goal.

"Medicine, silk, seafood, wood."

These types are extremely profitable, and Cheng Fu is not surprised that the other party has this ability.

"I'm preparing for the Cheng Family Chamber of Commerce, which is mainly engaged in land use and folk entertainment activities. If Master Wu is interested, he can take [-]% of the shares."

"Okay." There was almost no hesitation.

Cheng Fu took a sip of tea and continued: "Master Wu has to understand one thing. Since he is a business partner, he should not be a shopkeeper. If you want to sit at home and boss around and wait for the money to float into your pocket, then you and I will do it." Wine and meat friends are more suitable."

"I'm not that kind of person." Wu Ying retorted immediately.

After talking, Cheng Fu no longer sullenly, showing a relaxed smile, toasted each other with tea instead of wine, "I will send the detailed regulations to Hongzexing in two days."

When the boat returned to the pier, Cheng Fu had to go to the tavern, so he didn't stay any longer.Before leaving, thinking about Cheng Han's previous attitude, he said to Wu Ying who was sending her to the pier: "Wu Ziqi's affairs will not go well, I hope Young Master Wu will think about it and make plans early."

After the person got into the carriage and drove away, Wu Ying frowned, thinking about what the other party said just now.

The Cheng brothers and sisters would not let Wu Ziqi go, Cheng Fu didn't need to tell him at all, but she still did.So is it understandable that she already knows the smog in Wu's house?She is persuading him to make up his mind?
Capital
We all know that the crown princess is recovering from illness, but no one sees her out and about, and she rejects the posts sent by the female relatives without prejudice.Everyone couldn't figure out what kind of attitude she had, and why she suddenly became cold.

"Packed up?" Zhao Yantao threw a few books into the cage, no one looked back.

"En." Min Qinyue responded in a low voice.

After the cage was closed, Zhao Yantao was finally willing to put his eyes on her, "Go back and change clothes, and I will pay my respects to my mother."

Not long after the fourth prince Zhao Yanran and Zhang Wanqing got married, Zhang Wanqing had a happy pulse at the doctor's office. Now the palace is full of joy. The empress specially kept the couple to live in Yongfu Palace until the fetus is stable before returning to the palace.This is unprecedented.

In addition, she also specially took out the treasures in her box and placed them on display, saying that the baby was born safely and all of them belonged to Zhang Wanqing.The people in the palace were the most snobbish, and all of a sudden the concubines were comparing and rewarding good things, and the attitude of the palace people also changed.

No one knows who reported that the Queen's treasure box contained the "Ping An Jade" gifted by an expert.

When the prince and his wife arrived at Yongfu Palace, Zhao Yanran and Zhang Wanqing happened to be there.Min Qinyue lowered her head and followed Zhao Yantao obediently, not looking at Zhao Yanran and his wife.

"I heard that you are going on tour, are you ready?" the queen asked the prince, but her eyes stayed on the eldest daughter-in-law the longest.

In the past, he was not very satisfied with Min Qinyue being his son's wife. After learning that she had killed Zhao Yanran, he hated seeing her daughter-in-law even more.It's just that in front of others, she doesn't want to embarrass everyone, so she reluctantly socializes.

"There's nothing to fix." Zhao Yantao replied lightly.

The queen glanced at the silent Min Qinyue again, "You can go out on patrol, the princess doesn't have to accompany you, I'm getting worse day by day, and I want someone to help me." She wanted to put people under her nose Keep it up, so as not to make any more mistakes.

The corners of Zhao Yantao's mouth floated into a smile: "Aren't the four younger siblings in the palace? Besides, there is also the concubine Xian. Mother needs her help, who is not working hard." When he hurt his wife, he became more and more merciless noodle.

Min Qinyue remained silent, like a puppet at the mercy of others.

The queen couldn't hold back the eldest son, so she could only let him go.Anyway, she didn't want to see Min Qinyue dangling in front of her every day.Right now Zhang Wanqing is still pregnant in the palace, this is her precious son's first child, and she doesn't want anything to go wrong.

Zhao Yanran didn't understand why her brother's attitude towards him had changed so much, it was obviously the princess who was sorry for him, if it wasn't for her own fate, her grave would be taller than her own.At the beginning, he also complained that the prince was partial, but after a long time, his brother treated him more and more distantly, he became a little confused, could it be that he was still at fault.

After leaving Yongfu Palace, the prince and his wife went to the imperial study together.

"Your Highness, there is something unclear about my concubine."

"Do you want to know why Gu wants to take you?"

"Yes……"

Zhao Yantao stopped and looked at her from head to toe.Min Qinyue's appearance was average, Gui Zai was willing to work hard on himself in the past few years to make up for the lack of appearance.

"Leave you in Beijing, and you won't know how you died."

Min Qinyue's eyes widened, as if she didn't understand what the other party meant.

Zhao Yantao patted her on the arm, and continued to walk forward, "I never thought that what you said is not unreasonable. It's just that you are too stupid, and people will find out if you mess up."

"Your Highness, my concubine is ashamed." She wished she could kneel down for him right now.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you did the right thing. You don't care about these brothers anymore, just be your princess. If you live alone, you can live."

Min Qinyue burst into tears, unable to say anything.

Emperor Chengqi originally wanted to take advantage of Zhao Yantao's tour and deal with Min Qinyue, but Zhao Yantao saw through his plan, and now it was a certainty that Min Qinyue would accompany him on the tour.

The husband and wife said their farewell ceremony, Zhao Yantao let Min Qinyue go back first, and stayed to talk with Emperor Chengqi for a while.

"What are you doing in the south of the Yangtze River?" Da Yue has a vast territory, and the prince mainly visited the northwest, southwest, and southeast this time... It may take a year and a half at the earliest, and it may take two to three years to return.Emperor Chengqi was a little bit reluctant.

It was only then that Zhao Yantao remembered that the route he had planned included the link of Jiangnan, "Let's play."

"Bastard!" He deliberately wanted to piss him off.

"Min Qinyue is not worthy of the position of concubine. I plan to demote her as a good concubine and choose a woman with good character as your concubine." Emperor Chengqi didn't even want to look at Min Qinyue, even the side concubine didn't want to give it to her. .

Zhao Yantao didn't object either, "Then the emperor has to choose carefully for the son. After all, the fourth brother has such a 'kind-hearted' concubine. If she wants the fourth brother to replace the son, the new prince Concubine, don't have the ability to fight back, you'll just be a short-lived ghost." Anyway, the minister can't take care of himself, but he can't protect others.

Emperor Chengqi wanted to hit the prince with the inkstone again, but the other party's words reminded him of Zhang Wanqing's past actions, and he immediately lost his temper and felt tired.

Before leaving, what did Zhao Yantao think of, "I heard that the queen mother has a 'Ping Anyu'. Father, you see, my son and minister are going to travel far away. There are still many difficulties and obstacles waiting outside. Why don't the father help the son and the queen to seek peace?" Reward?"

Emperor Chengqi remembered that the empress did have this thing, "Those are all fake, I have already sent you two more teams of imperial city guards." No one has real things.

"Oh... there, the minister will leave first."

The look in Zhao Yantao's eyes when he left always made Emperor Chengqi feel weird, and he didn't know what it was until dinner time.Disappointed, the prince was disappointed in him.Emperor Chengqi was so angry that he dropped something again. This prince is getting more and more weird. He can be unhappy just because of a piece of jade.

When Changshun arrived at Yongfu Palace, he bumped into the fourth prince and his wife accompanying the queen for dinner, but the emperor's fate was difficult, so he still told the emperor's order.Of course, the expressions of the three people present were all different. As for what they were thinking, he didn't dare to guess.

The queen felt that the emperor made her very ashamed by doing this, but the emperor is a king, so she could only do it no matter how reluctant she was.

Zhang Wanqing's face was open-minded, but she was somewhat unhappy in her heart. Zhao Yanran saw that she was disappointed, and it took her a long time to coax her back.But the matter quickly spread throughout the harem, and then spread out of the imperial city.The Zhang family has become the topic of conversation after dinner in various inner houses.

The reason why this peace jade is special is because there are rumors that when the queen was born, many masters calculated that she was the fate of the phoenix, but she had no children all her life, and her later life was bleak.It was the Queen's mother who found an expert to change her life. This Ping An Jade was a gift from the expert to ensure that the Queen ascended the throne smoothly and gave birth to a dragon son.The queen has been by her side for so many years, and no one is willing to give it to her. This time she took it out as a reward for Zhang Wanqing's birth, and the meaning of it is very worth pondering.As a result, the emperor rewarded the prince with one sentence.

Seeing his son sleeping in a corner in the practice room, Xu Ze said to himself, "The prince's trip must not be peaceful." Concubine Zhu Xian finally looked forward to this opportunity, and she would not miss it.

"People in the Hanlin Academy will also change, you just do your own thing, don't get involved in whatever they say..."

"You live this year honestly, and I will make your wish come true." Isn't it just an outsider.

Xu Ye suddenly sat up straight, with a hoarse voice, "Really?"

"Stop pretending to be asleep?" Xu Ze laughed at him.

"...I didn't sleep in the first place." The boy muttered.

Xu Ze pulled him in front of him, patted his face, and tidied up his messy clothes with a broken heart, "Anyway, you have to avoid suspicion when your father is alive. Just do as you please .”

According to Emperor Chengqi's intention, after Master Zhang stepped down, Xu Ze would definitely take over. No matter how good Xu Ye was, with his father on top, it was his limit to be a third-rank official. Only after Xu Ze stepped down, He can go up.This process is long and depends on Xu Ze's physical condition and the attitude of the next emperor towards the Xu family.

"Son, do you understand what I mean?" Xu Ze stared at him.

Xu Ye scratched his head and said impatiently, "Understood."

"You know a fart. Good old man, you and her can live a peaceful life." He didn't want to tell his son this so quickly, who made Xu Ye's thoughts so obvious, and started planning since he first entered the Imperial Academy He had no choice but to remind in time to prevent this kid from messing around.

Xu Ze smiled and patted his son's head again, "Remember what I said, don't pay attention to what the people in the Imperial Academy tell you."

Xu Ye felt that his father was worrying too much about this matter, "Yeah."

"Okay, let's play." Xu Ze patted him hard on the back.

There was another person in the practice room, who was also sitting in the corner, and Xu Ze walked up to him and sat down, sighing.

Guang Zhi slightly turned his head to look at him, "Don't worry about it."

Xu Ze rubbed the center of his brows, "This kid has been pretending to be stupid for so long that even I often thought that I had given birth to an idiot who couldn't support the wall."

"If Xu Ye suddenly becomes sensible, you will be sad." Parents are like this, hoping that their children will always need themselves.

Xu Ze seemed to have been hit on the head with a sap.

Guang Zhi sighed that it was rare for a friend to see something clearly, "He must be different in front of Miss Cheng's family than in front of you." So no matter how capable Xu Ye is outside, he will always change automatically in front of Xu Ze. the role of the son.

"Look at you tired, get down, I will loosen your muscles and bones for you."

Xu Ze squinted, "The craft you learned from your confidante in Lushui Pavilion?"

"Don't tell you."

In fact, without Xu Ze's reminder, Xu Ye also knew what would happen to the court after the crown prince left Beijing.Some people must be sure that the prince will never come back, and some people want to take this opportunity to eat away at the power the prince has left in Beijing.The competition among various families will surface, and the Hanlin Academy will bear the brunt.

That's why he pushed a bunch of invitations today, and stayed at home honestly without seeing anyone.

The water in the capital city was muddy, and he wanted to leave Beijing not only because of the little girl, but also because he didn't want to become his father's weakness.Without him, Xu Ze would be invincible in court.And he also wanted to leave the capital temporarily to find a way out for the Xu family's future.After all, once the emperor and the courtiers, there is no family that can last forever.

Lying on the bed, the teenager picked up a pouch from the pillow, with his head embroidered on it, a little dull, a little cute, with rough stitches but barely strong.The boy touched and touched repeatedly, and finally placed it gently on his chest, and slowly closed his eyes.

Jinling
With Gao Sheng's efforts, Cheng Fu finally recruited four stewards in one go.Song Xinyi and Yan Xingsheng are in charge of the Cheng Family Chamber of Commerce that Cheng Fu is preparing - Lianghexuan, while Zhou Zhengping and Qian Shan are in charge of the operation of the tavern.There can't be no one in the capital for a long time, Gao Sheng must go back in April at the latest.

At the same time, Cheng Fu also received a surprise from Xu Ye——a list of those who were forced to return to their hometowns to seek another way due to various reasons.With this list in hand, she can try to find these people to work for herself.

"What are you thinking?" Cheng Han looked up to see his younger sister in a daze.

"...I'm thinking about my husband in the village." The little girl folded the list carefully and put it in the drawer in a happy mood.

"Huh?" Who?

　Tomorrow it will be changed from 19:22 to [-]:[-] in the evening
