Although the southern border of Mingzhou is stable, it is not without any friction.
The living conditions of the people in southern Xinjiang are harsh, and it is not a day or two since they have imagined the fertile land of the Great Wu Dynasty.
At this time, the Holy Majesty transferred back his father-in-law, who was a general on the frontier, with only one intention, that is, he wanted to reuse He Changdi.
This is slowly withdrawing power from Jing Anbo, and tilting the He family's power in the DPRK towards He Changdi.
Otherwise, the He family would decentralize too much power, which would not be a good thing for the imperial court.
Uncle Jing'an is now in the year of his destiny, which is already considered old for a military general, and he has been away from home for many years, it is his turn to return to Beijing to enjoy his old age.
He Sanlang looked at her clear and lively almond eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up, "Can you figure out the reason?"
Chu Lian blinked, "The Holy One really wants to use you?"
He Changdi reached out and pinched her reddish tender face, "It's not stupid at all."
Chu Lian puffed her cheeks and avoided his claws.
"When my vacation is over, I will take over the affairs of the Military Selection Department. I'm afraid I will be busy by then, and I won't have so much time to accompany you."
"I don't need you to accompany me." Chu Lian muttered softly.
He Changdi threw the book in his hand aside, and suddenly lowered his body, pressing down on her with one long leg, his hot breath gushing against his ear, "You really don't need me to accompany you?"
Chu Lian's cheeks were flushed by his actions, fearing that he would mess up, she stretched out her small hands to push his strong chest, "You are dead, don't press me down, it's uncomfortable."
He Sanlang found that his body had reacted, and felt sorry for her for being too tired last night, so he had to hold back, and only lowered his head and gently pecked at the corner of her mouth, "Don't tease me."
Chu Lian was really wronged to death, she didn't do anything just now, why did she tease him.
She opened her watery eyes angrily and stared at him fiercely. He Changdi covered her eyes with a big palm, slightly pursed her thin lips, and gritted her teeth: "Tell me not to tease me, or I will really kill you right now."
Chu Lian: ...
He Changdi resumed his leisurely sitting posture leaning against the head of the bed, and he took out an envelope from his sleeve pocket and handed it to his wife beside him.
Chu Lian also sat up, leaning cross-legged beside him, staring at the envelope he handed over suspiciously, "Letter? Whose?"
He Sanlang saw that she was only wearing thin lotus-colored pajamas. Although the bedroom was not cold with a fire wall, he was still worried that she would catch cold, so he stretched out his hand to pull up the brocade quilt to cover her legs, "It's not a letter, you open to take a look."
Chu Lian could only take it suspiciously, opened the envelope, and took out two pieces of paper of good quality from inside. When he opened it, it turned out to be two house deeds.
Moreover, it is a shop with an excellent location on Suzaku Street. The two leases are the front shop and the courtyard behind it.
Chu Lian's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "Where did such a good shop come from?"
High-ranking officials and dignitaries in central Beijing, as long as there are some famous shops on Suzaku Street, there are owners behind them. It is not easy to get such a good shop, and money alone is not enough.
Even if we only talk about silver, these two house deeds add up to at least five thousand taels...
This is still a conservative estimate.
Even if it is the Jing'anbo Mansion, when the public property is at its lowest, there are no shops on Zhuque Street, at most there are one or two on the second street.
"Do you like it?" He Changdi didn't answer Chu Lian's question, but just asked her if she liked it.
Chu Lian opened his mouth and couldn't speak, but felt that his husband was extremely mysterious.
She said honestly: "Who would not like such a good shop."
However, although she said she liked it, there was not much excitement on her face.
"I have sent someone to the government to settle down this shop, as long as you like it, don't you like cooking, you can do anything with this shop." When He Changdi said this, his usual cold face became extra gentle.
Chu Lian held the deed in his hand, and suddenly raised his head to look into his deep pool-like eyes.
"Husband, tell me where the money comes from?"
She had asked before, when he bought her jewelry, but He Changdi didn't say anything, and now he spent a lot of money to buy a shop for her, which totaled 10,000 taels.
He just went to the northern border to join the army and has never done business. How did he get so much money? Could it be a bribe
But Chu Lian subconsciously didn't want to believe that this was how he got his money.
Seeing her black eyebrows furrowed, He Changdi knew that his daughter-in-law wanted to have a divorce.
He muffled a laugh, and couldn't help pinching her face again, "Lian'er, where do you think you're going, it's not what you think."
Chu Lian rolled her eyes, "Then your money is too easy to make, and the business in my hand is not as much as yours!"
He Changdi knew that it was not appropriate to keep this matter from Chu Lian anymore. If he didn't tell her, she would think wildly. Instead of hearing those rumors from other people, it's better for him to tell her himself.
He hooked his slender fingers towards Chu Lian. Chu Lian hesitated for a moment, but still snuggled into his arms, with his ears close to his lips.
He Sanlang's slightly hoarse voice rang in her ears, and after a while, Chu Lian sat up straight, stared at him with wide almond eyes, and looked at him in disbelief.
Even she stuttered, "Really...really?"
He Sanlang smiled, "Is there any truth to what my husband told you?"
"You guys are too brave!"
He Changdi shook his head, "The result will be the same if this matter falls into the hands of any powerful person. I have done very little."
So Chu Lian didn't say anything anymore, but secretly told He Changdi to handle this hot matter well.
He Sanlang didn't want her to worry anymore, so he took the initiative to change the subject, "With this shop, what do you want to do?"
Chu Lian felt like a bright mirror in his heart. I'm afraid that He Sanlang just heard that the old matriarch was going to return to Linju, so he deliberately spent money to find supplements for her.
He looks like a cold-faced Hades, and he doesn't like to talk too much, but he actually does more than anyone else.
"Open a restaurant."
Originally, Gui Linju was gone, so she had a plan to open a restaurant of her own again, but it was not so easy to find a good one, and she didn't have enough money in her hands, and Jian City in the north also invested a lot, so the plan was delayed up.
Now that He Sanlang sent her to a shop for no reason, she can get started and advance the plan.
He Changdi raised his eyebrows, and as expected, Chu Lian would still open a restaurant.
It's been a long time since the young couple cuddled together and chatted warmly. Even He Sanlang, who has always talked less, became more interested in talking.
Thinking of the Linju designed by Chu Lian at the beginning, He Changdi admired his little woman very much.
What is the structure of this little brain, and how can it have so many wonderful ideas, some of which he has never even thought of.
When he was chatting with his good brother King Jin, even King Jin praised Chu Lian's novel ideas.
