Feng Sheng's face turned pale all of a sudden.
She was powerless to refute King Wei's words, her eyes trembled, and she didn't speak.
The king of Wei glanced at her, and walked away.
In the following days, Feng Sheng fell into a long silence. No one talked to her, she never took the initiative to speak, Wei Wang would appear from time to time, but every time he saw her like this, she would always be angry at her.
But Feng Sheng no longer wanted to deal with it.
She could see that King Wei's attitude was firm, and she had no face to turn black and white again, pretending that nothing happened, so she could only keep silent.
Another month has passed, and now the maids are familiar with her, and when they see her depressed, they will also make her happy.
Take her to fish viewing today, and make some novelty food tomorrow, and there is always a constant stream of new things from outside, all of which are rare and novelties in the market, Feng Sheng knows who sent them, But I don't know what to say.
One day, the servant girl Du Juan brought a puppy.
The puppy is very small, covered in snow-white, just as long as Feng Sheng's handful, with a small fleshy body, very soft to the touch. It has a pair of round black eyes, which seem to be a little timid, looking at Feng Sheng with wet eyes, so cute that people can't wait to give their hearts to it.
Feng Sheng named it Jixiang.
With auspiciousness, Feng Sheng finally has something to do every day. Feed Jixiang, comb it, and take it to play in the garden. Little Jixiang is chubby and runs like a meatball on the lawn, always making Feng Sheng laugh.
Occasionally, when she calmed down, Feng Sheng would also think, is she considered Wei Wang's concubine now
Feng Sheng knows what an outside room is, that is, a woman who has no official status and is raised outside, but generally a woman who can be raised as an outside room is extremely favored. Otherwise, there's no need to raise it as an outhouse, right
Thinking about it this way, I feel that I am also very powerful. When I was a man, I could stir up chaos in the world, and if I was kidnapped, I could harm a gang. Now I am a concubine, and I am very different from others.
She was still thinking about what to do in the outer room, the only one she could use as an example was Jiu Yiniang.
Compared with Jiu Yiniang's life, it seems to be pretty good. She doesn't have to fight with other women in the mansion, and she is more free. She also thought about whether she wanted to have a child too, but could she give birth to King Wei? The black face in her mind made her shudder with fear, and she immediately stopped thinking about it.
Feng Sheng seemed to accept her fate, and began to live a life of eating, drinking, sleeping and playing. Occasionally, when King Wei came again, she would not remain silent, and would even joke with him.
But instead of being happy, King Wei became even more unhappy. Feng Sheng couldn't help but lament that this man was too difficult to serve.
During a month of dark and windy night, Feng Sheng was suddenly woken up by someone shaking, only to find out that it was King Wei when he woke up.
King Wei seemed to have drunk alcohol, breathing out the smell of alcohol, and his eyes were shining brightly.
"The sage said, only women and villains are difficult to raise, and you have both!"
What is this saying? Feng Sheng feels a little wronged, feeling that she has been slandered.
"I didn't keep my promise, but acted like the king abused you. You were obviously unhappy, but you pretended to be happy. Who are you pretending to be!"
Well, she is not happy. But she has worked hard to make herself happy, what else do she want
"Originally, this king has planned to write a letter to ask for the title of princess, but now this king is unwilling. As this king, all the women in the world can be picked. What are you, Fang Fengsheng! Tomorrow, this king will let you go, but Remember, the woman this king doesn't want can't tolerate other people's accusations, so stay away from Fan Jinchuan, otherwise... "
Feng Sheng's face was sprayed with alcohol, and he was forced to say so many words, and then the culprit left.
Leave her sleepless all night.
The next day, someone came to arrange for her to leave.
Looking around at the piles of gold and jade in this room, those clothes, jewelry and antiques, Feng Sheng only took away auspiciousness except for his clothes.
"He has a weird personality, and he has seen too many good things. If he doesn't take you away, he might throw you somewhere, but he won't have time to accompany you every day in the future." After getting into the carriage, Feng Sheng rubbed his auspicious lips. said the little head.
The carriage sent Feng Sheng to the Salt Transport Envoy.
When she got off the bus, she realized that they were really in Yangzhou, in Yangzhou city. She stuffed Ji Xiang into her sleeves, then tugged at the men's clothes on her body, and walked into the gate.
She was still thinking about how to explain the days when she disappeared after she went in, but Fan Jinchuan had already rushed out of it.
"Fang... my dear brother!"
Fan Jinchuan was black and thin. As he became thinner, he became less gentle and more angular. He was very excited, looked at Feng Sheng's eyes, slightly flushed, originally wanted to grab her arm, but he didn't know what to think, so he withdrew his hand again.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back! His Royal Highness Wei Wang said that you were injured and it was difficult to move. I was anxious to see you, but I couldn't separate myself." After entering and sitting down, Fan Jinchuan said.
"That's what His Royal Highness King Wei told you?" In other words, he never planned to hide her in the golden house as an outer room, but to intimidate her.
"Your Highness said so, didn't you?"
Feng Sheng lowered his head and smiled, and said: "That's not what I meant, I just wanted to say that it was thanks to His Royal Highness King Wei for saving me this time, otherwise I might not be able to come back."
After hearing this, Fan Jinchuan showed guilt. If she didn't want to save him, she wouldn't be in danger. These days, this thought burned his heart like a fire, but he had no one to confide in, so he could only taste the heart-piercing taste silently and alone.
Now she's finally back.
Fan Jinchuan's heart was agitated, and he was about to say something, when Zhichun Zhiqiu outside received the news of Feng Sheng's return, and he was anxious to see her, so naturally he couldn't continue.
Feng Sheng bid farewell to Fan Jinchuan, and returned to the residence with Zhichun and Zhiqiu.
This courtyard is no different from the past, but it makes Feng Sheng feel like a lifetime away. Zhichun and Zhiqiu both cried until their eyes were red, and Uncle Yu sighed when he saw her, thankfully she was fine this time.
No one asked what happened to Feng Sheng in the tiger's den this time, everyone seemed to have forgotten about it tacitly, and the appearance of auspiciousness also diverted the attention of the two girls, so that they finally stopped crying.
Since her mother died, this was the first time Feng Sheng felt that a woman's tears were so terrifying.
Then there was rest. Everyone seemed to think that she should take a good rest, including Fan Jinchuan, who didn't bother her. But Feng Sheng learned many things that happened after she left from Zhichun Zhiqiu and from Uncle Yu.
Needless to say, Jianping Emperor Longyan was furious after the incident, and ordered to investigate and arrest the culprit. The salt lords in the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River were in a terrible situation, and many people suffered from the disaster.
On the other side, Fan Jinchuan turned grief into strength, and did not forget the important event of the two. He continued according to the plan discussed with Feng Sheng before, but Eunuch Huo no longer dared to point fingers at the matter before.
Fan Jinchuan, who was eager to avenge Feng Sheng, rarely showed his strong wrists. Taking advantage of the turmoil in Huainan, he swept down countless corrupt officials. With these as repressions, Huainan's New Deal went smoother than expected, and now everything is on the right track, we just need to see the effect.
As for the matter of the salt shop, Jin Jinfu has almost arranged it.
He came forward and set up official salt shops and transshipment warehouses in various places, especially on both sides of the Yangtze River, in the name of the government. The official salt shop is both wholesale and retail. Once the establishment is completed, salt dealers from all over the country will not use the two Huaihe Rivers to transport salt, but only buy salt and fetch salt from the nearest place. This will be completed by the end of the year.
As for the mopping up of the Salt Gang, according to Fan Jinchuan, it was the king of Wei who personally came forward to sit in charge.
He sent undercover agents to infiltrate the Salt Gang, and then worked together inside and outside to find out the location of the main rudder of the Salt Gang and wiped it out. Now the Salt Gang is gone.
With this series of tricks, those salt merchant buildings are about to fall, but they dare not move rashly. It is said that the people around Fan Jinchuan were bribed when they went out recently, but it is a pity that Fan Jinchuan doesn't eat this pot at all. Although there was a mistake in the plan, somehow it was back on track, even better than what Feng Sheng had expected.
"The only one is the head of the Jiang family. It was found out that he bought the people of the Salt Gang, and he wanted to kill people to avoid future troubles. But when he was going to arrest him, he didn't know who spent half of his family's wealth. I bought my own life, so this time it’s just a matter of nothing.”
Most likely because he hated it in his heart, so Uncle Yu was very angry when he said it, but Feng Sheng was not surprised by this.
"It seems that the higher ups are really short of money. I said why did they send a disaster." When Eunuch Huo was sent down, Feng Sheng guessed that something was wrong, and now it coincides with her guess.
"Okay, after being idle for a while, my body is almost moldy. Let's go out for a stroll.",
"Master, what are you going out for?"
"Take a look around, but the young master didn't intend to take you there, you just stay at home to see the auspiciousness." Feng Sheng said, shaking his fan, making Zhi Qiu so angry.
Feng Sheng really just went out for a stroll.
After going to the West Lake and Wenchang Pavilion, I planned to go to the East Market, but I was really tired, so I found a theater to sit down and watch a play.
As soon as she sat down, the waiter looked at the tea and brought over several bowls of melon seeds and fruit, and suddenly someone sat down in the empty seat beside her.
Feng Sheng, who was drinking tea, looked over and said, "Hey, isn't this the master of the Chen family? You are always busy with people, why did you come to this place to watch a show? I made an appointment with someone at the place where you were sitting. It’s not good to be seated.”
The head of the Chen family's old face twitched.
Since the implementation of this new policy, their life has been worsened day by day. The top ten salt merchants in Yangzhou stomped their feet in Yangzhou earlier, and now they have to shake their feet. .
People who are good at studying have already started to find another way out. When they scolded Huang Jinfu for being a prodigal, if they lost all their property and died and couldn't enter the ancestral grave, it seemed like a slap in the face. No one is as good as that golden blessing. It turns out that he has already hugged his thigh and withdrew the money in advance. Now it is said that Jin Jinfu is in charge of the establishment of the official salt shop, needless to say he is proud of himself, and the person behind him is the boy in front of him who is only twenty years old.
This family member was just a teacher next to Fan Jinchuan, but within two years, he was born in an unorthodox way, and was appointed as the seventh-rank Wenlin Lang by the imperial court. It is said that the New Deal was all done by him. This person had deep scheming, and he plotted against everyone in Lianghuai and Huaihe without making a fuss.
Step by step, one link after another, in fact, the process in the middle is no longer a secret, but it is just under the nose of everyone, these things just happen.
The success made everyone dumbfounded and amazed. Looking back, they regretted it unceasingly. They only sighed at what happened at the beginning, and actually broke out in a cold sweat.
This person is tall, and this is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy.
Look at him now, it's not that he didn't move his soldiers, he took the initiative to come to the door. He had to be thankful that he was not really old, and he could still run fast, at least ahead of the others, so that he could give the Chen family a chance.
"This old man came here uninvited, I hope my little friend won't be surprised."
Little friend? This is the title of Wangnianjiao. You must know that the Patriarch of the Chen family has always been known for being mean and unkind, so it is rare to be able to show off like this.
"Meeting is fate, since there is fate, then sit down and drink a cup of tea."
Are you willing to talk to him
No one cared how the Patriarch of the Chen family sighed, the drama on the stage had already begun.
The sound of the drum board has already sounded, and the singing voice is endless, and there are applause from time to time. The Patriarch of the Chen family was in a state of confusion, wishing he could take over the venue and drive these people away.
But Mr. Fang is born different from other people, so he can just find a seat in a theater with such a status. According to the vision of the Patriarch of the Chen family, such a theatrical garden is just for some Banff pawns to pass the time.
The tea was too bad, the fruit and melon seed plate was rough, and even the chairs they sat on were extremely simple and cramped, which made him lose his sense of calm in the past.
But he only had this one chance, and the other party's intentions were obvious, and he had already seen that the servants of the Liu family were already waiting by the door, and there was a person from the Cheng family sitting sideways. Perhaps the Bao family, Wang family, and Zhang family are still waiting outside the door.
"I also ask Mr. Fang to raise your hands high and give the Chen family a way to survive."
I don't know if the other party heard it, because this place is really noisy and it's not a place to talk about things.
Just when the Patriarch of the Chen family was feeling uneasy and wanted to say it again, Feng Sheng spoke suddenly.
"The two Huaihe Rivers lead to Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, and Henan, a total of six provinces. Only Jinfu alone can't eat such a big pie."
The implementation of the New Deal may have a blow to the salt merchants, but it is not enough to shake the foundation. At worst, they will abandon their allies and switch to the New Deal. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many constraints behind him, and let the salt merchants choose, they would be willing to invest in the New Deal.
But after so many years, in order to do big business and ensure power, the government, business, government, and top ten salt merchants have been too deeply involved with the officials, and they are deeply intertwined. But now it is no longer a question of whether to change investment or not. Once the construction of the official salt store is completed, it will be the time when the top ten salt merchant buildings will collapse. At that time, it will only end in ruin.
No one wants to lose their family.
"It seems that the owner of the Chen family is also a sensible person, so I won't let you out of the circle. You can share this piece of cake, but as a price, you need to hand over your Chen family's account book. I think you should understand this account book. What kind of ledger is it. I can not only share a share of the pie, but also save you from worrying about the future. Do you think this business can be done?"
The Patriarch of the Chen family originally had a very ugly face after hearing the account book's words, but what he said later made him look dazed again. If it is true what the other party said, the Chen family can completely get out of the quagmire.
"Does Master Fang understand the meaning of no worries?" He gritted his teeth and said with his old face twitching. Those who didn't know thought they were going to quarrel with others, but in fact it was just that they were getting old and couldn't control the flesh on their faces, so they twitched when they got excited.
Feng Sheng smiled and shook his fan: "Of course I understand."
