Houmen's concubine

Chapter 48
After Wang Tong'er sat down, she saw that the carriage was inconspicuous from the outside, but inside it was spacious and luxurious. Inside was a couch covered with soft animal skins and a blanket.

There is a coffee table on the couch. On the tea table is a pot of hot water, two plates of fruit cakes, and a delicate small incense burner, which burns incense sticks of pine resin, which is very refreshing.

Well, what a pleasure to sit in this carriage!

She noticed that the cakes on the plate were all double-glutinous rose cakes. It seemed that since she first ate the top piece of double-glutinous rose cake among the pastries in Xie Yuheng's study, every time Xiaomo sent the cakes to the study They all turned into double glutinous rose cakes.

Wang Tong'er was only curious for a second, and then no longer cared.

Except for the speed of the road and the carriage, it is not inferior to the luxury cars of the 21st century.

Wang Tong'er didn't sleep well at night, but now she huddled in a corner and fell asleep after being bumped by the carriage.

Xie Yuheng looked at the little girl sleeping in men's clothes curled up in a corner, she was cute and cute, and threw an animal skin blanket to her, covering her body.

He didn't want to bring her with him, but the little girl was restless at all.

Either sneak home during the day, or sneak out to play at night.

If she left for a month, how wild would she still be?
Maybe, if you want to go wild, you can go wild in the arms of that idiot Xie Yuhuai!

Xie Yuheng was several evidences for catching Wang Tong'er leaving the mansion, and last night, Wang Tong'er asked to leave, so he might as well take her with him and rest assured.

······
While the carriage was jolting, Wang Tong'er woke up in a daze. Looking at the animal skin blanket covering her body, she felt warm in her heart. The Shizi is really a good master. If you leave him, you will never meet such a considerate master again.

The figure of Second Miss Shen appeared in front of my eyes, thinking about the days of being rubbed by the hostess every day in the future, let's forget it!

She peeked at the tough and handsome eldest son in front of her, feeling suspicious in her heart, and always wanted to ask Xie Yuheng: Why did she come out with her as a burden?Just seeing him keep his eyes down, with a gloomy face, holding a book and reading, he didn't have the guts to ask him wisely.

Sitting in the corner of the couch, Wang Tonger guessed, could it be that Xie Yuheng's investigation in Ganzhou in the previous life was brought forward?

She knew that Xie Yuheng in his previous life went to Ganzhou to secretly investigate the iron mine incident a few months later, and it was that time that he brought back the two women given to him by the local officials, who were brought back by him and arranged to live outside.

In this life, many events are different, it is estimated that this lady's time travel caused the butterfly effect!

Forget it, since he made up his mind to take him out, it's useless to ask.

As the saying goes: if you come, you will be safe.

Xie Yuheng is now an official at the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He has just passed the new year, and he is announced to the palace by Emperor Mingzheng every day to discuss matters related to Ganzhou iron mines and weapons.

Emperor Mingzheng learned from the insiders who were placed in the four major families that this was a case of collusion between officials and businessmen, who cut corners and cut materials.

The matter of the Ganzhou Iron Mine could not be delayed any longer, so after Xie Yuheng entered the palace yesterday, Emperor Ming Jia sent him to Ganzhou to secretly investigate the matter of the iron mines under the jurisdiction of the imperial court and the weapons manufacturers and officials.

The Great Zhou Dynasty fought wars for decades, and the weapons were seriously worn out. Iron must be used to make weapons!

The main iron ore production sites in the Great Zhou Dynasty were all in Ganzhou.

Although the iron ore is owned by the imperial court, the weapon manufacturing is controlled by the four major families in Ganzhou.

The four major families are Ji, Xue, Ren, and Liu, with the Ji family as the head.

The Patriarch of the Ji family, Ji Yongzhen, is old and has long since stopped asking about family matters.

Now his nephew Ji Xiao is in charge of Ji's family affairs, because Ji Yongzhen and his wife only had two daughters, he is very upright, he only has one wife, and he doesn't take concubines.Therefore, there is no son who can take on the position of head of the family, so the ambitious nephew of the second wife can only take it.

Earlier, when the upright Patriarch Ji was in power, the Qin Nan weapon makers still behaved according to the rules and kept themselves safe.

It took less than two years for the position of Patriarch to be handed down to his nephew, Ji Xiao, to deteriorate.

The 30-year-old new head of the family, Ji Xiao, has long been displeased with his uncle's credo of 'quality first, profit second'.

He joined forces with the other three major weapon-making families, and would rather spend a lot of money on high-ranking officials who came to the court to inspect the goods, but also cut corners and shoddy.

Of course, if you spend a lot of money, you must earn it back on the product. If you don’t cut corners, how can you make huge profits by shoddy?
Nowadays, the weapons produced in Ganzhou are not as good as before, nor are they thick, thin and easy to break.

The quality of this weapon is directly related to the victory or defeat of the war, and it is also related to the safety of the soldiers!
In fact, in the previous life, Xie Yuheng was also sent to Ganzhou by Emperor Ming Zheng to investigate the case because of this incident.

By the time he went there, he had lost the best time. Therefore, after his rebirth, he also knew that the errand to Ganzhou was still his own.

In fact, the best time was two years ago, when Ji Xiao had just ascended to the position of gang leader for two years, the best time was when his wings were not yet full, and his butt was still hot.

However, he hadn't been reborn at that time.

Therefore, he asked people to bring this matter to the emperor in advance.

This is also the reason why Wang Tong'er wondered how she was a few months earlier than her previous life.

······
During the whole day, the group of them only tipped at noon, ate some dry food and drank some water, and then continued on their way.

On the way, because of Wang Tong'er's convenience, the time for a cup of tea was delayed.

Along the way, when Wang Tonger was bored, she would open the curtains to enjoy the scenery along the way. Because she was walking on a mountain road at this time, the mountains on both sides were steep and the rocks were jagged. Sitting in a carriage, driving on the mountain road and looking up, the clouds and fog Halfway up the mountain covers the line of sight, and the sun shines through the gaps in the clouds and mist, shining brightly. Such strange mountain scenery cannot be seen in the capital.

I didn't arrive at a small market town called Shuangling until it was dark, and I found the largest inn in the town to stay.

Don't underestimate this small market town, because it is located in the north-south hub, so the town is quite lively, and there are several more inns than other small market towns.

Xie Yuheng still put down the book in his hand, opened the door curtain, stepped off the carriage, and walked towards the inn.

Wang Tong'er admired Xie Yuheng very much in her heart. It is not unreasonable for this person to be able to sit in this position at such a young age.

You see, he never leaves his books along the way...

When Wang Tong'er got off the carriage, the group of them had already entered the inn. Some went to the backyard of the inn to feed the horses and drink water, and some asked a buddy to guide them to arrange board and lodging. The shopkeeper nodded and bowed and led him down to the first-class guest room upstairs.
