Chapter 274

"Liang Yi?"

Qiu Yan was taken aback for a moment, but then she figured it out: "You don't want to marry Liang Yi?"

Qiu Min nodded.

She doesn't like Liang Yi.

"The matter between you and Liang Yi was arranged by Concubine Guo. If you want to refuse, it may not be easy." Qiu Yan said.

Although Concubine Guo is not Emperor Cheng Zhao, she is not something that the Qiu family can refuse if they want to.

"I……"

"Qiu Min, have you fallen in love with someone else?" Qiu Yan didn't know Qiu Min's expression.

"No, no..." Qiu Min shook his head, not wanting to admit it.

"Really?" Qiu Yan asked.

"I think my cousin is pretty good." Qiu Min said in a low voice.

"Cousin..." Qiu Yan was silent.

The cousin is Qin Xuan.

She also had a good impression of Qin Xuan before, but unfortunately, she married Jiang Chen when she didn't express it, and when she didn't have a deeper affection.

Thinking of Qin Xuan now, Qiu Yan suddenly realized that although she hadn't completely forgotten, that figure had already faded.

"This matter is really a problem..." Qiu Yan didn't know how to answer.

If she knew that Qiu Min also liked Qin Xuan before marrying Jiang Chen, she would have fought for it, but now she is also thinking about Qiu Min.

After all, it is impossible for myself and Qin Xuan.

Qiu Min likes Qin Xuan, why not give her a favor?

"Let's not talk about this, Second Sister, you don't know, there have been fake bank notes in the mansion recently." Qiu Min said.

"Fake banknotes?" Qiu Yan was taken aback, the Qiu family is a big family with a lot of expenses.If it's just one or two fake banknotes, with Qiu Min's identity, he may not be able to know about the fake banknotes.

Now that Qiu Min knows about this, it is obvious that there are many fake bank notes.

"Well, now we have to pay three thousand taels of silver bills. My father made up the money and it was only five or six hundred taels. The rest still needs to be collected by the third and fourth uncles, but the third and fourth uncles have no money. Grandma thinks it is only I can sell the farm now." Qiu Min nodded.

"Three thousand taels?" Qiu Yan was a little dazed.

Is it more than three thousand taels?
a lot of.

Before, in her eyes, three thousand taels was an astronomical figure.

However, when Jiang Chen asked Luo Shiniang to take care of things with her, he took out one hundred thousand taels all at once, and when he wanted to purchase goods, he took out another hundred thousand taels.

She didn't know how much money Jiang Chen had, but relatively speaking, three thousand taels was very little.

Now that such a big family as the Qiu family is actually worried about three thousand taels?
At this moment, Qiu Yan didn't know that if it wasn't for Jiang Chen's appearance, she would fight for the marriage and make her own decisions because of the fake bank notes.

"Yes." Qiu Min nodded, "Three thousand taels, that's too much."

Qiu Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Qiu Min, follow me to see your brother-in-law."

"Second sister, you are..."

Qiu Min didn't speak, but walked towards the teahouse in front.

……

At this time, Jiang Chen was drinking tea at a place near the window in the teahouse.

Seeing Qiuyan and Qiumin coming over, he quickly asked them to sit down.

"Husband, I want to go home." Qiu Yan said.

"Sure." Jiang Chen had been to Qiu's house before when he returned home, but he didn't stay long.After all, according to the customs of the Song Dynasty, when the concubine's room returned home, he already attached great importance to the Qiu family.

"Husband..." Qiu Yan hesitated, and told Jiang Chen about the fake bank notes.

"Fake bank notes?"

Jiang Chen remembered the plot in the play, but he didn't say much, he just asked Qiu Yan: "What do you want to do?"

"If possible, I'd like to help... But husband, don't worry, I only take my own money." Qiu Yan was afraid that Jiang Chen would misunderstand, so she quickly explained.

"Are you rich?" Jiang Chen knew that although Qiu Yan was his concubine, the monthly salary was only ten taels a month, which was raised by Jiang Chen when Luo Shiniang and Qiu Yan made the monthly salary.

According to Luo Shiniang or Qiu Yan's words, the monthly salary of their Luo family's concubine's room is only five taels.

Now that Qiu Yan has only been married to him for a few days, how can she have money?

Unless the dowry is used.

But can Qiuyan's dowry be so much?
"I……"

"It's inappropriate to take money." Jiang Chen said.

The Qiu family is a big family. Now that Qiu Yan, a concubine, is asked to bring money back to make up for the shortfall, wouldn't the Qiu family lose face?
Maybe for the Qiu family, this is a humiliation to them.

Qiu Yan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately figured out why.

"But I have a way..." Jiang Chen said.

"What can my husband do?" Qiu Yan asked.

"You guys go shopping first, I'll look for you in half an hour, now I'm going to investigate something first." Jiang Chen said.

"it is good."

Qiu Yan nodded, and took Qiu Min to go shopping.

After leaving the teahouse, Qiu Min looked at Qiu Yan: "Second Sister, does he really have a solution?"

"Don't worry." Qiu Yan nodded, not doubting Jiang Chen's words: "Let's go to the bookstore in front to read some books."

"Okay." Qiu Min nodded.

Walking into the bookstore, Qiu Yan thought about wanting to read novels, so she asked Xiaoer about it.

"Ma'am, that book has already been bought." Xiao Er is also a smart person, as soon as she saw Qiu Yan's hair bun, she knew that Qiu Yan was married.

"Bought it?" Qiu Yan was a little puzzled when she heard the words.

"Qiu Yan, Qiu Min."

At this moment, a voice sounded.

"cousin."

Qiu Min was taken aback when he saw Qin Xuan.

"Cousin." Qiu Yan didn't expect to see Qin Xuan here, but she saluted calmly.

"I didn't expect to see you here..." Qin Xuan's eyes swept over Qiu Yan, especially when his eyes fell on Qiu Yan's bun, he felt bitter in his heart.

There is nothing more painful than watching your own woman marry someone else.

It's a pity that although he is the second son of the British government, he can't change everything.

"Is my cousin here to buy books?" Qiu Yan asked.

"Yes, I just bought this one." Qin Xuan nodded.

"It turns out that this book was bought by my cousin." Qiu Yan felt a little pity.

"Qiu Yan, if you want it, how about I send it to you?" Qin Xuan said.

"Thank you cousin, but I can't take it." Qiu Yan refused. Although she was a cousin, she was also a man. She couldn't accept things from a man, not to mention that he used to like him a little bit.

"I was the one to be abrupt." Qin Xuan came to his senses.

"Cousin, why are you here?" Qiu Min likes Qin Xuan. If Qiu Yan hadn't married, she might feel that Qiu Yan would be a threat to her, but now she wouldn't use Qiu Yan as a threat at all. So, I don't think there will be anything between Qin Xuan and Qiu Yan.

"I'm here to buy books..."

Qin Xuan chatted with the Qiu family sisters.

About half an hour later, Jiang Chen walked into the bookstore.

"Qiu Yan, you are really here."

"Husband."

Qiu Yan heard the voice and hurried up to meet her.

"Second brother-in-law." Qiu Min called out.

"Young Master Jiang." Qin Xuan also saw Jiang Chen.

Although Jiang Chen snatched Qiu Yan from him, he and Jiang Chen had a good relationship, and Jiang Chen didn't know that he liked Qiu Yan, so he couldn't get angry when facing Jiang Chen.

"So it's Mr. Qin." Jiang Chen greeted Qin Xuan with a smile.

"Husband, when we came just now, my cousin was there." Qiu Yan explained.

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, then said to Qiu Min: "Qiu Min, come with me."

"I?"

Qiu Min was taken aback, but followed Jiang Chen out of the bookstore.

"Qiu Yan, this is..." Qin Xuan looked at Qiu Yan.

Now that Jiang Chen has married Qiu Yan, does he still have something to do with Qiu Min?
"Husband has business with Qiu Min." Qiu Yan didn't say much.

After a while, Jiang Chen and Qiu Min walked into the bookstore.

"Second sister, I'll go back first." Qiu Min said to Qiu Yan.

Seeing the smile in Qiu Min's eyes, Qiu Yan knew that Jiang Chen must have confessed something just now, so she nodded immediately.

After Qiu Min left, Jiang Chen and Qiu Yan also said goodbye to Qin Xuan.

"Master Jiang, this book is for you." Qin Xuan handed a book to Jiang Chen.

"Book?"

Jiang Chen's heart moved, he glanced at Qiu Yan next to him, smiled and took the book Qin Xuan handed over: "Then I will thank Young Master Qin."

After leaving the bookstore and getting into the carriage, Qiu Yan looked at Jiang Chen and hesitated to speak.

"Take it." Jiang Chen handed the book to Qiu Yan.

"Husband?" Qiu Yan looked at Jiang Chen.

"It's just a book, Qin Xuan is your cousin, and will only be your cousin, you don't need to care about it." Jiang Chen said with a smile: "At the hammer ball meeting, I could tell that Qin Xuan was interested in You are interesting, but at that time our names had not been decided, so it was understandable for him to have ideas. I won't care about this matter."

"Husband, my cousin and I really have nothing to do." Qiu Yan said hastily.

"I know." Jiang Chen took Qiu Yan's hand and said, "We treat each other sincerely, so we should trust each other."

Just a book.

If it is in the first film and television fusion world, it will not be a problem at all.

However, Jiang Chen also understood Qiu Yan's worry.

In this era, once a woman is suspected by her husband, the best result is to be lonely for the rest of her life.

But is Jiang Chen such a person?
No.

Jiang Chen is definitely not such a person.

"Husband, you are so kind." Qiu Yan was so moved.

She was just worried that Qin Xuan's matter would affect her relationship with Jiang Chen, but she didn't expect Jiang Chen to take it seriously.

No, it's not that Jiang Chen didn't take it seriously, it's that Jiang Chen believed her.

What is more important to a woman than a man trusting her?

"Fool, you are my woman, don't I still trust you?" Jiang Chen smiled, he could even handle the woman in the first film and television fusion world, so in this second film and television fusion world, could it be Can't handle Qiuyan and the others?
If the two are not married, it may be difficult.

But now with the marriage gift from Emperor Cheng Zhao, the relationship between the two has become a foregone conclusion, and it is easy to win Qiu Yan's heart.

"Husband, actually there is one more thing I haven't told you." Qiu Yan said.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen asked.

"I was rescued when I was young. The person who rescued me gave me a folding fan, and this person is Liang Yi." Qiu Yan said.

"Folding fan? Liang Yi?"

Jiang Chen was stunned.

He didn't expect Qiuyan to tell him such a thing.

It seems that he really has no reservations about him.

"Yes, that's him, but I didn't have any..."

Qiu Yan wanted to say something, but Jiang Chen pulled her into her arms.

"Do you think I will still doubt whether you and Liang Yi can't make it? You, you underestimate me too much." Jiang Chen hugged Qiu Yan tightly and said: "In the future, don't you want to know? I'm not the kind of ignorant person people."

"Yeah." Qiu Yan nodded.

"That's right." Jiang Chen kissed Qiu Yan.

"Husband, don't do this in the carriage..." Qiu Yan buried her head in Jiang Chen's arms.

Jiang Chen smiled.

What about in the carriage?

In the first film and television fusion world, when he, Jiang Nansun and Shi Yi were together, they kissed in public.

However, he also knew that the two worlds were different, so he didn't go too far.

Back at Jingxiu Villa, Jiang Chen saw a military camp appearing next to the villa.

"Husband, what's going on?" Qiu Yan was startled.

"It's the guards." Jiang Chen didn't expect the five hundred guards to come here today.

"Guardian?"

"Yes, they escorted us when we went to Yangguo." Jiang Chen didn't explain much, and after letting Qiu Yan return to Jingxiu Villa, he went to the guard barracks.

"Yong'an county magistrate."

A tough man came out.

The name of this sturdy man is Zhang Hu. He is a captain in the guard army and the leader of the five hundred guards.

"Captain Zhang."

Jiang Chen had seen Zhang Hu last time.

Unlike the five hundred guards, this tiger was arranged by Qin Yuyuan.

Although it was arranged by Qin Yuyuan through Yongchanghou, Jiang Chen had to suspect that Zhang Hu was from Qin Yuyuan.

Or, Zhang Hu is a man of Emperor Cheng Zhao.

"Lieutenant Zhang, we are going to Yang Kingdom next. Going to Yang Kingdom is full of dangers, so I am going to let my guards train with you." Jiang Chen directly stated his purpose.

"Yong'an county magistrate..."

"Lieutenant Zhang, you should call me by my name." Jiang Chen interrupted Zhang Hu, and said, "Also, does Captain Zhang have any objections to my arrangement? Didn't the higher-ups tell you to listen to me?"

"This..." Zhang Hu frowned.

"This matter is settled. After all, we will cooperate sincerely in the future. If there is a gap in training together, how can we cooperate?" Jiang Chen said.

"Well..." Zhang Hu couldn't refuse.

At that moment, Jiang Chen introduced Wu Shiyi, who was wearing a mask, to Zhang Hu.

The mask Wu Shiyi wore was a very hideous mask.

Jiang Chen's arrangement is also to allow Wu Shiyi to better integrate into the guard army.

"Lieutenant Zhang, we will be leaving in a few days. What else do the guards need to prepare?" Jiang Chen asked.

"We only have ten days' food and grass." Zhang Hu said.

"Ten days? I've already arrived at Luoyang Mansion in ten days, so can't I get food and grass in Luoyang Mansion?" Jiang Chen was taken aback when he heard this.

The guards are not ordinary people. A person needs at least four catties of food a day, and five hundred people need two thousand catties. Adding horses, donkeys, etc., the daily consumption is almost ten stones.

And that's just food.

If you add other nutritious foods, this consumption will more than double.

Jiang Chen thought that Song Guo was responsible for these food expenses, but now it seems that he is overthinking it.

"Mr. Yong'an County, after leaving Kaifeng Mansion, we will be your personal guards, so you have to solve the food and other issues by yourself." Zhang Hu replied.

"Is this what Duke Qin meant?" Jiang Chen came to his senses, but he was not displeased or dissatisfied, but infinitely pleasantly surprised.
