Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1108 Regret
Although the carriage was covered with felt cloth, but looking at this heavy carriage, one knew that it must be extraordinary. This was a fleet of ships going out to sea to transport property northward. Needless to say, the property carried in these carriages must be priceless.

All the servants in the mansion were extremely happy. First, the news of the army's victory and return to the division spread throughout Chang'an, and now the caravans that went out to sea also returned with full load.

The butler greeted him out overjoyed, and at the same time sent someone to know the inner house.

The servant girl trotted into the back garden with small steps.

"Princess, princess, great joy!" the servant girl exclaimed in surprise.

Princess Changle and Wu Jue were thinking about Su Cheng, when they suddenly heard the servant girl running in and shouting overjoyed, their hearts almost jumped out of excitement.

Happy event?
What more joy can there be?

Could it be that Su Cheng came back early?

It's not impossible. After the army captured Pyongyang, the emperor didn't return immediately. He had to appease the people of Goguryeo and make arrangements, but there was a possibility that Su Cheng could return early because of something.

This is exactly what they were looking forward to day and night.

"Cai'er, is the father-in-law back?" Cui Mo asked in surprise.

The servant girl Cai'er couldn't help being stunned when she heard this, the father-in-law is back?Isn't the father-in-law still on his way back to the teacher?
Could the father-in-law be back in two days?
"No, I didn't see my lord come back. It's the caravan that went out to sea. They returned with a full load. I heard from the housekeeper that there are hundreds of carriages!" Cai'er said respectfully.

It turned out that the caravan from the sea returned with goods, which was indeed a happy event.But Princess Changle couldn't help sighing in her heart when she heard this. Just now she thought it was Su Cheng who came back.

Although it was a happy event for the caravan to deliver goods, it was nothing compared to Su Cheng's return.

No amount of money is just icing on the cake, not to mention Princess Changle, even Wu Jue, Cui Mo and others are a little disappointed, after all, the Duke's Mansion is already rich enough.

However, this is a good thing after all, and the sailors who went to sea have gone through hardships, and it is very difficult. As the head of the house, how can you feel disappointed?

Princess Changle smiled angrily and said, "I have received a letter a long time ago, saying that the sea-going ships have returned to Lingnan, and they should arrive in Chang'an by the time. I thought they would be delayed by the heavy snow. Let's go." Look!"

The front yard was bustling with activity. Carriages drove into the Duke's Mansion through the side door. People who were acquainted were greeting each other, while the sailors who had returned from the sea were spitting and talking.

"The princess is here!"

Following the servant girl's loud shout, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

"Meet the princess!"

Princess Changle nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard. My father-in-law is away on an expedition and is on his way to victory. It is inconvenient for me to entertain you, so I can trouble the housekeeper to entertain you on my behalf."

After all, Princess Changle brought Wu Jue and the others into the front hall, and Liu Xiaochuan and the others came to the front hall holding a few account books.

"Princess Qi, this trip to the sea first went to the country of Wa, and the goods were exchanged for gold and silver. Then I left the fleets of the major families and went to the spice island. I loaded the spice island and returned with a full load."

"The little one picked out the best spices and brought them back to Chang'an in a total of [-] cars, and the rest of the spices were left in Lingnan for sale, but now that the world knows that there is still a spice island, as long as they go to sea, they will be able to attract them continuously." Come back to the spices, so the price of the spices is not as good as before!"

"This is the account book for this sea trip, please have a look at the princess!" After speaking, Liu Xiaochuan respectfully handed over several account books.

If there are too many things, they are worthless. Everyone knows this truth. Now that we have found a spice island overseas and can have a steady stream of spices every year, the price of spices will naturally drop.

"I was just a boy back then. After years of experience, I have become more and more prudent. When the father-in-law comes back, he will reward you heavily. It has been almost a year since he left home. Go back to rest and reunite with your family! "Princess Changle said with a gentle smile.

Liu Xiaochuan and the others saluted and thanked each other, and then retreated excitedly.

The maid brought the ledger to the table, and Princess Changle casually picked up the ledger and flipped through it, ordering: "Cuimo, Yingluo, take the maid to put it away, the spices will follow the usual practice, and the rest Just make a book and put it in the warehouse!"

Sujiazhuang was very lively because of the heavy white stone carriage, and the city of Chang'an was also very lively.

Because not only Sujiazhuang's sea-going fleet returned to Chang'an with goods, but also the fleets of other aristocratic families also returned from sea.

Although the fleets of these aristocratic families did not bring back spices, they did bring back crates of gold and silver, as well as some local specialties of the Wa Kingdom, which seemed rather strange.

It is not uncommon for Rongguo Duke's fleet to get rich. After all, Rongguo Duke's mansion has the ability to turn stones into gold, which is unmatched by anyone.

But the family's fleet also made a fortune after going out to sea, what does this mean?
This shows that going to sea is indeed a lucrative way of making money. People all over Chang'an are so excited that they can't wait to tear down the door panel and use it as a boat to go to sea.

Chang'an City is very lively, but Jincheng, which is thousands of miles away, has fallen into an eerie calm.

The court was very calm, the news that the princess was pregnant had been widely known, but the court was very calm, without any objection.

Even the big real bone families in the court didn't have any objections, didn't mention ancestral etiquette, didn't raise any objections to the princess being pregnant.

"It's beyond my expectation to be so calm. Could it be that the big families just watched me give birth to the child? They are all eyeing the throne. They are fighting each other openly and secretly. How can they stop here?" Jin Shengman held the dried plums and asked doubtfully. .

After conditioning, her discomfort was relieved a lot, but she became very fond of eating sour food.

As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. How could Kinderman not know this?
These days, she has been sending people to watch the movement of several big families. She smiled slightly: "This is the child of Rong Guogong. Rong Guogong is famous. How can they not be afraid? So, don't worry, there is me Keep an eye on them! You just need to cheer up the maids, keep the iron bucket guarded here like an iron bucket, and then raise the fetus well, so that it will be white and fat, so that the child will be born."

The maids around her are all trustworthy people, so Jin Shengman is confident that she can give birth to the child safely, but she is actually worried about the future.

Because when the child is old enough to run and dance, it is impossible to detain the child all the time. At that time, what if the big families have evil intentions towards the child?
As the saying goes, how can there be a thousand days to guard against thieves only if you are a thief for a thousand days?
Thinking of this, Jin Shengman suddenly regretted it.
