"what do you mean?"
Being pulled aside, Ji Man raised his eyes and met Mo Yuhou's deep eyes: "You also know about the road construction?"
"What road construction?" Ji Man's eyes were blank and innocent, and he shook his head, "I'm just teaching you to read well, and I didn't intend to read a sentence in a book."
"Oh?" Ning Yuxuan let go of her with a cold snort: "What book? Are you here to listen?"
Ji Man straightened his clothes, and said solemnly: "From "The Analects of Confucius·Building Roads", it is a lost Confucian classic. In order to save time, reduce transportation costs, and finally reduce commodity prices and promote consumption."
Looking at Ning Yuxuan with a dull face, Ji Man sighed and patted him on the shoulder: "I know you don't understand even if I tell you."
It's obviously nonsense, why can it be taken for granted? Mo Yuhou looked at her helplessly for a long time, then turned to leave.
"What is the road construction that Lord Hou just said?" Ji Man grabbed his sleeve.
Ning Yuxuan paused, turned his head and said: "The king of Changjun wrote a letter requesting to repair the road between Changjun and the capital, how can you not know about this?"
"I know, it turns out that this is the case, isn't it normal? The emperor should agree." Ji Man smiled and said: "The new emperor has just ascended the throne, so we can't give the princes the impression that they treat their brothers harshly." .It’s just a road, and it won’t cost the court much money.”
"A woman's opinion." Mo Yuhou snorted softly, "This road cannot be repaired."
"Why?" Ji Man was puzzled.
Mo Yuhou didn't say much, just glanced at her and left.
Naturally, it can't be repaired. The treasury paid for the opening of trade routes for Changjun. Once the transportation is convenient, many things will also be convenient. The new emperor is not a fool, so naturally he won't take advantage of this.
However, when the vassal king came to Beijing, the queen mother cried to several princes and vassal kings, and the reputation of the new emperor treating his mother harshly and treating his elder brother lightly spread. The taxation itself is very strict, the new emperor's reputation among the people is extremely low, and many literati and refined scholars wrote poems and songs as metaphors.
Mo Yuhou dismissed Changjun Wang's proposal on the grounds of insufficient funds in the household department, but once this happened, Wangyue Pavilion had to stop working. Say money is tight, then don't fix anything.
The new emperor's complexion was very ugly. Ning Yuxuan originally wanted to persuade him to endure this for a while and continue to build after the vassal kings returned to their respective territories. Moon Pavilion is completed.
Well, Ning Yuxuan couldn't persuade him any more, the princes from all walks of life didn't know what benefits they had received from the Changjun King or the Queen Mother, and they wrote letters to help Zhao Zhe speak. Under the unanimous condemnation, Zhao Li would rather agree to build the road to Changjun than stop work on Wangyue Pavilion.
Hearing the news, Ji Man wanted to sigh, it turns out that Zhao Li, who is cruel, merciless and deformed, also has love in his heart
Wangyue Pavilion, Wangyue Pavilion, really lived up to Pengyue's sincerity in helping him back then.
Ning Yuxuan was very dissatisfied with the new emperor's decision, it seemed like a child's willful decision. But there is no way, he is the boss, and he can only issue the decision of the boss, ordering the Ministry of Accounts to allocate funds.
Ji Man made a small calculation, the road will probably take a year or two to repair, and during this period, she will have to sell Changjun rice at a small profit. But fortunately, she has already obtained permission from Zhao Zhe. She is responsible for exporting the rice in Changjun.
The Food Bank Alliance will re-elect a leader every year, and Ji Man has been very busy recently, because after a while, it will be the day of re-election. She is not from the capital, does not have many connections, and her assets are not too rich, but she wants that seat. Although there is no real power, that position is the one that deals with the government the most.
If you want to be promoted, apart from outstanding performance, the most important thing is to be a good person. Ji Man has already slightly raised the price of Changjun rice, so as not to bring too much pressure to everyone in the industry, and then made appointments with the shopkeepers of various grain stores for dinner and drinks, and by the way, made an appointment with Mr. Tang last time. They are all happy to go.
No one would think that Ji Man was trying to win them over, because every year the league would have a lot of competition, and Ji Man was like a small shrimp in their eyes, and there was no possibility of competition.
Mo Yuhou listened to Gui Bai's report of Ji Man's recent whereabouts, and sneered, "Why is this woman so fussy?"
Selling rice can be so busy, what kind of officials are invited to dinner, doesn't she know that the household department is also in his hands
Why are you so stupid
As night fell, Ji Man came home late again, and as soon as he got back to his room, he was so tired that he asked the maid to prepare the tub for a bath. The human skin mask on her face has been worn for ten days, and if she doesn't take it off, her face will be full of acne.
After closing the window and locking the door, taking off the mask and taking off his clothes, Ji Man buried his face in the water and got up again, heaving a long sigh of relief.
Sure enough, no matter how stressful the work is, a hot bath will solve it when you come back.
After happily washing his face and drying his body, he was about to get out of the bathtub when he heard the door open with a "squeak".
What are you kidding? Ji Man quickly buried herself in the water, she locked the door just now, why was she pushed away like that
"You're a leisurely person." Ning Yuxuan's voice had already reached the side of the bathtub, looking at the swollen head on the water, he pulled him out helplessly: "I'm not afraid of suffocating myself."
Ji Man blushed, looked at him and said, "Can Hou Ye observe the courtesy of a gentleman and not look at injustice?"
Looking at her, Mo Yuhou was stunned for a moment, but he didn't hear what she said, he just stretched out his hand in a daze, and touched the face that he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Sang Yu."
Ji Man frowned: "Master Hou, next is Ji Man."
As if she had never heard of it, Ning Yuxuan lowered her body, pulled her face, and kissed her lips lightly: "It's been a long time."
Not wearing anything on her body, Ji Man gritted her teeth: "Let people know that Master Hou broke into the room of his wife and conspired to commit crimes. Do you still want Master Hou's reputation?"
"What is fame?" Ning Yuxuan picked her up from the water, splashed her all over his body and didn't care: "When did I care about that thing?"
As early as when he opened the city gate, the word Moyuhou had become a name that many people secretly cursed in their hearts.
Ji Man was slightly taken aback, being hugged by him, all the water on his body was wiped clean, he was put on the bed, wrapped in the quilt and rolled quickly.
"Master Hou wants to have sex with me?"
"About...what?" He bullied himself, slightly dissatisfied and said, "Can you stop saying things I don't understand?"
Ji Man leaned against his chest and said seriously: "A dating is a way for two emotionless strangers to go to bed and release their inner desires."
Just about to kiss her forehead, but was stopped by this sentence. Ning Yuxuan lowered his head and looked at her quietly: "You and I are strangers without feelings?"
"At least it's not a legal relationship." Ji Man laughed dryly: "I still keep the letter of divorce given by Master Hou."
Stiff on the side of the bed, Ning Yuxuan took a fixed look at her, pursed his lips and said, "I even forgot, you are no longer my wife."
"Yeah." Ji Man casually took a piece of clothes on the bed and put them on: "It's getting late, Master Hou should go back earlier."
"Okay." Ning Yuxuan got up, got off the bed and was about to go out, then remembered again and said, "I came to see you to say that there will be a banquet at Zhu Shilang's house tomorrow to celebrate the old lady of the Zhu family's 80th birthday. Do you want to come with me?"
Tobe servant? That is the adjutant of the household department, an adult of the fourth rank. When she was Mrs. Hou before, she didn't think that the officials were so powerful, but now that she has become a commoner, she realized that she really should be currying favor with.
Ji Man almost wagged his tail, looked at Ning Yuxuan with bright eyes and said: "Thank you, Lord Hou, I will definitely wait for Lord Hou to go with me tomorrow."
Ning Yuxuan smiled faintly, turned and left the room.
He didn't have long hands yet, so he pushed the door open and didn't know how to close it, so that Ji Man sat on the bed and was a little cold from the wind blowing in from the door.
In the evening of the next day, Ning Yuxuan's carriage was waiting at the main entrance. After Ji Man would coax him to rest, he quickly jumped into the carriage.
"Hou..." Liu Hanyun was walking to the door, and wanted to say that there is a banquet today, as the main wife, should she also go along? As a result, Mo Yuhou didn't intend to take her with him at all, but took his good wife with him.
This Master Ji has really been valued by Lord Hou recently, and because of his partiality for Hao Hao, he gave him everything that is good.
Liu Hanyun sighed and turned back to his yard.
Ji Man was thinking about what to do along the way, and whether there would be any taboos. Mo Yuhou leaned against the carriage and yawned, but he said casually: "Zhu Shilang's family has a son, who is the same age as Haohao, but he is so stubborn that it gives him a headache. You should go, he should be very happy."
Slightly startled, Ji Man turned to look at him, does this man mean to help her
"He doesn't like people talking too much, you just have to pay attention." Ning Yuxuan glanced at her, propped his head and closed his eyes.
Ji Man is so grateful, it is still useful to have a big Buddha at home. Although Ning Yuxuan probably won't continue to help her if she finds out what she really wants someday, but now she can think about her and take her through the back door, which can make her feel a little grateful.
Although this person may have a sworn feud with her, Ji Man is not in a hurry, the revenge will be avenged slowly, and he has to stand firm first.
There were people coming and going at the gate of Zhu's mansion, and there was no place for the carriage to stop. Ji Man was still worried, but Ning Yuxuan's car drove directly to the back door, and a man about forty years old was welcoming him: "Hou My uncle is very grateful for the presence of the Lord in person."
