Shen Ziqiao saw Qi Zheng's deathly pale face behind Mrs. Qi, even though she knew that his injury was not serious, she was startled. He can turn himself into this. When she went out just now, he was still smiling brightly, and he didn't look hurt at all.
Old Madam Qi wiped her tears, wanted to hug Qi Zheng but was afraid of touching his wound, her heart was ruthlessly grabbed, "What the hell is going on?"
Qi Zheng held Mrs. Qi's hand weakly, and his voice was like a thread, "Grandmother, don't worry, I'm fine."
"It's all like this, how can you be fine!" An Guogong looked at the eldest son distressedly, "Who is it? Who hurt you like this? What do you think of our An Guogong's mansion!"
"I... I was ordered by the empress to pick up my grandfather." Qi Zheng said in a low voice.
Go ask Mrs. Lu to come back and he will be hunted down! What is the meaning of this, the people present can't understand, now who is against the queen, who is against the Lu family? Who doesn't want Mrs. Lu to return to the capital? The answer is ready to come.
Little Gu and Concubine Sun are cousins. Hearing Qi Zheng's words, he curled his lips and said, "Isn't it where you provoked someone you shouldn't..."
"Can we still afford to offend the Sun family?" Mrs. Qi shouted angrily, "Tell the Sun family, this matter is not so easy!"
"Mother..." She said something wrong, since Qi Zheng's injury must be the Sun's fault.
"Shut up!" An Guogong turned his head and glared at her.
Little Gu had no choice but to curl her lips and stop expressing her opinion.
Qi Zheng didn't seem to have little Gu in his eyes, and the days when little Gu could jump around were numbered, so he didn't need to talk to her at this time.
An Guogong patted Qi Zheng's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Heal your wound well, and you don't have to worry about things outside."
Qi Zheng didn't even have the strength to say a word.
Shen Ziqiao was crying softly at the side. "Grandmother, father, I want to accompany my husband to Zhuangzi to recuperate from his wounds."
"Which village are you going to? Can't you recuperate your wounds at home?" Madam Qi asked displeasedly. Is Zhuangzi better than home
Qi Zheng said weakly, "Grandma, I want to go to Zhuangzi, it's safer..."
In other words, is it not safe at home? Little Gu's face turned livid with anger.
Isn't this obviously referring to her? Could it be that Qi Zheng is recuperating at home, and she will kill him
Mrs. Qi and An Guogong also understood what Qi Zheng meant. When they remembered Qi Zheng was almost poisoned back then, their expressions were even uglier than that of Little Gu.
Shen Ziqiao stepped forward to hold Qi Zheng's hand in fear, but the expression on her face was resolute.
"Jiaojiao. Brother Zheng has suffered such a serious injury, so he should take a good rest. If the wound is opened by moving..." Mrs. Qi knew that she couldn't convince Qi Zheng, so she wanted Shen Ziqiao to change her mind.
"Sister?" Shen Ziqiao looked at Qi Zheng nervously, "Grandmother is right. How about..."
"Grandmother, I'm going to the village to recuperate." Qi Zheng closed his eyes, still refusing to change his mind, as if he was desperate for the safety of the family, and he didn't want to give any chance to hurt him and his wife.
Mrs. Qi was so anxious that she couldn't speak, "You... okay. Okay, I'll go to Zhuangzi with you!"
"Grandmother, it's fine to have Jiaojiao accompany me." Qi Zheng paused in his heart. What else can you do if you let the old lady accompany you? He took old lady Qi's hand and squeezed it hard, "Grandma, the doctor said it. As long as you are careful, you will be fine."
"But..." Mrs. Qi looked at Qi Zheng's hand. He looked hesitant.
An Guogong narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Qi Zheng and Shen Ziqiao, "Okay, I'll send you guys to Zhuangzi."
Little Gu couldn't hide her disappointment in her heart, it was such a rare opportunity, and it was wasted in vain.
…
…
With the support of An Guogong and Mrs. Qi, Qi Zheng and Shen Ziqiao left the city soon, got into the carriage, and Qi Zheng, a seriously injured person, automatically regained his vitality.
Although Shen Ziqiao and Qi Zheng were reluctant to part on the official road outside the city, the current situation no longer allowed them to hesitate.
"Be careful in everything, stay calm when you encounter anything, and don't do anything dangerous." Qi Zheng kissed her on the cheek and told her in a low voice.
"I will definitely protect myself." Shen Ziqiao hugged him and kissed his lips flatteringly.
Qi Zheng increased his strength, kissing her until she was almost out of breath before letting go, "Be careful on the road."
Shen Ziqiao caressed his handsome face, "You too, don't get hurt again."
"Go!" Qi Zheng said with a smile.
Those who followed Shen Ziqiao to Dongyue, besides Uncle Qun, had two other four guards, Hongyu and Hongying, and Shen Ziqiao also brought Liang Jianhai to Dongyue.
"Young Madam, if you want to take the waterway, you can only go to Beijin. In today's weather, it may not be much faster to take the waterway." Come to talk to Shen Ziqiao with an expression.
"Then don't take the waterway." Shen Ziqiao said, "As long as you can feel Dongyue as soon as possible."
Uncle Qun bowed his hands and went to arrange the next journey.
Hongying murmured, "Young Madam, this group of uncles are obviously relying on their elders to sell their elders, and they don't respect you at all."
Shen Ziqiao smiled, remembering that this group of uncles threatened her not to get close to Qi Zheng. The reason why he was unhappy was because he wanted to protect Qi Zheng more than accompany her to Dongyue.
I am afraid that in the eyes of Uncle Qun, it is very willful for her not to stay by Qi Zheng's side to take care of her, but to run to Dongyue at this time.
She respects Uncle Qun, without him, Qi Zheng would not be able to grow up in peace.
For the next few days, Shen Ziqiao and the others were on their way all the time, and at night they were at the inn. These days, Shen Ziqiao not only asked the group of uncles to inquire about the news from Dongyue, but also from the capital.
I heard that the third prince is getting more and more attention from the emperor, and I even heard that the cat that Sun Guifei kept by her side almost bit the little emperor's grandson, the emperor was furious...
It should be the queen who started to clean up Concubine Sun Gui and Sheng Peiyin.
Before, the empress had been immersed in the sadness of the emperor's sudden temperament change, so she didn't spare her hands to deal with Concubine Sun and the others. Now... fearing that she had given up on the emperor, she wanted to start protecting her son and grandson, so naturally she would no longer tolerate Concubine Sun and Concubine Sun. Sheng Peiyin continued to jump.
"Young Madam, Shopkeeper Liang has something to see." Hongyu came in and said.
He took Liang Jianhai to Dongyue because he wanted him to help deal with Ma Junfeng. Hearing that he came to see him, he must have something to do, so Shen Ziqiao hurriedly let him in.
"Miss San." Liang Jianhai bowed his head to Shen Ziqiao.
"Shopkeeper Liang, what's the matter with you?" Shen Ziqiao asked, she was getting more and more worried about her grandfather and the others before arriving in Dongyue in a few days.
I heard that Yee Hing Hong is still affixed with a seal.
"Miss San, I found that there are too many merchants rushing to Dongyue on the road recently, which is a bit unusual than in previous years." Liang Jianhai's thick eyebrows were slightly tightened. He carefully observed the merchants on the official road these days, only to find that these merchants are all It was going to Dongyue.
Now it is the end of the new year. According to normal, it should be the off-season for business in Dongyue.
"What's going on?" Shen Ziqiao had lived in Dongyue for two years, so she naturally understood what Liang Jianhai meant by being unusual. What was the reason for going to Dongyue instead of going home for the New Year
Liang Jianhai said, "I inquired carefully today. These merchants are shipping cotton to East Vietnam. I heard that Henghui Bank is buying cotton on a large scale."
"Isn't Henghui Bank Ma Junfeng's firm?" Shen Ziqiao asked in surprise, what are you going to buy cotton at this time? Do you keep it
"I heard that Gore's cotton was affected by the disaster this year, and it needs to buy a large amount from other places. Originally, Yee Hing was buying cotton, but I didn't expect that Yee Hing would..." Liang Jianhai said.
This is Liang Jianhai's advantage. With a little limelight, he will find out the whole matter clearly.
"What's the price of cotton now?" Shen Ziqiao asked.
"Originally the price was very low. A bale of cotton was about 50 taels. Now it has been bought by Henghui Bank on such a large scale. The price has reached 150 taels a bale." Liang Jianhai has already investigated the price of cotton clearly. .
"So now these merchants transport all the cotton to Dongyue and sell it to Henghui Bank?" Shen Ziqiao asked with a smile.
Liang Jianhai nodded and said in a low voice, "If Henghui Bank succeeds in stockpiling cotton this time, then..."
Then Henghui Bank is very likely to replace Yee Hing Hong.
"Where is Gore? Is there a map?" Shen Ziqiao pondered for a moment, becoming curious about where Gore is.
Liang Jianhai said, "I'll look for it tomorrow."
They are still on the road now, and it is not easy to find a map outside Dazhou.
The next day, Liang Jianhai asked Uncle Qun to help him find a map of overseas countries, as well as an introduction to the customs and regions of overseas countries.
Shen Ziqiao spent a whole day and night reading it, and then ordered Liang Jianhai to buy all the cotton from the merchants he met on the road, and hurriedly ordered Dongyue's shopkeeper Fan to buy cotton in a high-profile manner.
She also wrote a letter to He Chen, asking him to help buy cotton.
"Miss San, are you... deliberately raising the price?" Liang Jianhai couldn't understand why Shen Ziqiao did this. If the price of cotton was raised too high, it might be out of control.
"That's right, the cotton that Yee Hing Hong bought before was not 1,000, but 500 bales. Including our inventory in the capital warehouse, there are at least 2,000 bales. If Ma Junfeng wants to buy cotton, then we will make him a fortune." .” Shen Ziqiao said with a smile.
Liang Jianhai felt that Shen Ziqiao didn't just want to make money from Ma Junfeng by doing this.
His eyes fell on the map in Shen Ziqiao's hand.
Shen Ziqiao showed him the map with a smile, Liang Jianhai looked at it for a while, his brows and eyes showed joy, "Miss San?"
"The price of cotton must have been severely raised." Shen Ziqiao sneered.
"The price should be moderate, otherwise Ma Junfeng may not continue to buy." Liang Jianhai said.
"Within three hundred taels." Shen Ziqiao said.
Liang Jianhai said with a smile, "I know what to do."
