Jiapingguan Chronicle

"I have a question. Since you don't want to, it's fine to cancel the engagement. Why do you want to continue? It's unreasonable!"

Xue Ruitian rested his cheeks and looked at Mrs. Ning curiously.Although he has heard some rumors about the daughter of the royal family in Ningchang Kingdom and Songjiang Mansion before, the rumors are rumors after all, not as detailed as what I said. He wants to know that neither the Wang family nor the Ning family are willing to have this marriage , but had no choice but to secretly marry Ning Changguo and this young lady of the Wang family under the banner of fulfilling the marriage contract. Why?

Xue Ruitian would not believe it if there was nothing tricky about it.

Hearing Xue Ruitian's words, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha also nodded. They also felt very strange. Although there were interests involved, it took almost 20 years from the conclusion of the marriage contract to the completion of the marriage contract. No matter what kind of interests were involved, it was already gone It needs to be guaranteed by the relationship of in-laws, but it is very strange why the marriage contract should continue to be fulfilled when both sides are unwilling.

"Because the Wang family is retreating!"

"Retreat?" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows, "The Ning family's retreat?"

"That's right!" Mrs. Ning sneered, "They're all geniuses, they're all schemes, there's no real engagement!"

"Tell me carefully."

"You should all know the Qinglian Sect, right?" Mrs. Ning looked at Xue Ruitian, "You should be able to find something, but I won't ask. Your business has nothing to do with ours."

"We know the Qinglian Sect." Xue Ruitian nodded, "Many big families in the south of the Yangtze River are followers of the Qinglian Sect, and the people also believe in it. It's just that in recent years, the Qinglian Sect has been encircled and suppressed. Less, but not really much less, is it?"

"Yes, there are still many in the dark, and they are not ordinary people. They are all rich and prestigious. The Qinglian Sect actually doesn't care about ordinary believers. It's okay to have them or not." Old Man Ning Ren sighed, "Do you know that the Ning family has been working for the Qinglian Sect since a long time ago."

"Didn't it start from Ningchang Kingdom?"

"Of course not." Seeing the expressions of the three people, Mrs. Ning smiled, "Didn't you think so?"

"In other words, the Ningchang Kingdom was not selected by the Qinglian Sect or the Empress Dowager after arriving in Xijing City, but was he the one who was selected from the beginning? He was calculated from the beginning to the end. of?"

"It can't be said that they were calculated. It can only be said that each takes what they need. Only the Zhongzhou family foolishly thinks that Ningchang State becoming their adopted son is the good luck brought by their family's long-term good deeds."

"That's not the case?"

"No!" Mrs. Ning shook her head, "I only found out about these things after Ning Chang State himself told me about it. The Ning family's tying of the Qinglian Sect ship started with Ning Chang State's great-grandfather, but it was just like this before. For many years, it was just running errands, and nothing major could be done. It was only in the generation of the father of Ningchang that he had touched the core. Our Wang family has always wanted to own a pier, and we have taken a fancy to the Ning family's one from the beginning, but the pier , it was actually used by the Ning family to sell goods for the Qinglian Sect."

"Sell goods for Qinglian Sect? Qinglian Sect also sell goods?"

"Of course, there are many ways for the Qinglian Sect to collect money. It's not just about collecting offerings from believers. How much offerings can be collected is far from reaching the amount they want. Therefore, if you want to get more silver, gold, For more jewelry, we need to open up some other businesses. Therefore, we will sell some items to believers in the temples and dojos under the name of Qinglian Sect. These items are all from the sea and should not be particularly expensive, as far as I know Yes, the profits of Qinglianjiao's business are quite high."

"Then what are they selling?"

"It's not special. Tapestries, scrolls, incense burners, spices, etc. I have seen these things before. They are not produced in Daxia. They are very exotic."

"No wonder, it's coming from the sea."

"That's not very clear." Mrs. Ning sighed softly, "Before Wang and Ning signed the marriage contract, both parties put forward a lot of conditions. Our family put forward one condition, that is, we can get married, but it is only in name. The Ning family agreed, after all we are from the Langya Wang clan, if they don't agree, there is no chance of finding another family similar to ours to marry."

"So, it was already confirmed at that time. It can only be in the name of husband and wife, but not the reality of husband and wife?"

"Well!" Mrs. Ning nodded, "These all happened before Ning Changguo and I were born. If it wasn't for people in my family, I wouldn't be very clear about it. The excessive condition is that our Wang family can use the pier to ship goods, but they hope that we can lease them a few boats, but they will not pay the rent."

"Let them a boat, but you can't charge them money? How big are their faces!"

"It's mutual. We won't pay for the occupancy of the pier." Mrs. Ning said with a smile, "Although the Wang family is a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, they are also in business, and they don't think there is anything wrong with being a businessman. However, a large part of our business needs to go to sea, so we must use the Ning family's wharf. The Ning family knows that the wharf is necessary for our business, so they proposed to exchange things. They used If the pier is exchanged for our family’s boat, if it’s true, our family will take advantage of it.”

"The Wang family has a lot of boats?" Shen Cha looked at Mrs. Ning curiously, "If the Ning family uses the Wang family's boats and the Wang family wants to take the goods, wouldn't it mean that there would be no boats available? Speaking of which, it wouldn't be considered an advantage."

"Xiaocha, what you don't know is that the Wang family has a shipyard."

"That's right!" Mrs. Ning nodded, "Our family has a shipyard, so we can build our own boats, so we don't have to worry about not having any boats to use."

"Indeed." Xue Ruitian smiled, and looked at Mrs. Ning, "But the Wang family knew from the very beginning that the Ning family was going to help the Qinglian sect sell goods?"

"I didn't know at first, but after a year or two, I found out that there was a problem. I found out later that it was helping the Qinglian Sect to deliver goods." Mrs. Ning sighed, "Everything has happened, and there is nothing we can do about it. , It is easy to get on a pirate ship, but difficult to get off a pirate ship."

"The Wang family is not willing? Don't all the big families in the south of the Yangtze River believe in Qinglian Sect?"

"This is just a misinformation. Not all big families believe in the Qinglian Sect, and quite a few hate them." Mrs. Ning sighed softly, "Our Wang family is one of them."
