After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

As soon as Xiao Baozi said these words, his identity was almost revealed.

Zhongli Qiuyang is the naval admiral of Linshui City!
This name is not something ordinary people can call at will.

The Regent stayed in the Admiral's Mansion when he came to Linshui City. Today, when he went to Linshui Port, he was accompanied by the Admiral in person.

It's just that Bai Zhiwei doesn't know if one of these two girls is Zhongli Ruoshui, but it doesn't matter, these two girls are both people around the regent!

Still a pillow person!
Of course Bai Zhiwei is even happier.

He bowed again, this time without calling himself.

He said respectfully:

"I've seen two empresses!"

Empress, this title is usually used for the emperor's concubines.

Although Li Chenan is still the regent, the news that he will ascend the throne as emperor when he returns to Beijing has already spread.

This call of "Empress" made Xiao Baozi and Ning Chuchu feel very happy.

Xiao Baozi’s slender eyes curved into crescent moons:
"Hey, shopkeeper, did you notice it?"

Bai Zhiwei thought I was just lazy, not blind!

"The grace of these two empresses, a villain can tell from a distance that they are not mere mortals."

"You are quite sweet. Since you know that he is still at Linshui Lake and has not had lunch, you should hurry up and make arrangements."

"I can't eat you for nothing, he won't like it. How much money will Zhongli Qiuyang pay you..."

Before Xiao Baozi finished speaking, a voice came from the stairs:
"The money will be credited to the old man's account!"

Xiao Baozi and Ning Chuchu looked up and saw a gray-haired old man walking over.

Of course he is Chen Dingmao.

He came to Xiao Baozi and bowed:
"This little old man, Chen Dingmao of the Chen family in Yingzhou, has met two empresses!"

Xiao Baozi and Ning Chuchu stood up.

It’s not that they know the name of Chen from Yingzhou, it’s just because he is an old man!

After spending a long time with Li Chenan, even Xiao Baozi, who has always been a big talker, has become accustomed to respecting the old man.

After all, Li Chenan has been to so many rural areas, and when he met those old farmers, Li Chenan always maintained enough respect.

If your father-in-law is like this, then of course you have to be like this too.

Chen Dingmao and Bai Zhiwei never expected that these two noble men would stand up, nor did they expect that these two noble men would also bow to Chen Dingmao!
"I've met Mr. Chen!"

This guy scared Chen Dingmao quite a lot.

He quickly turned sideways and bowed again, with cold sweat pouring out of his face.

"Young man can't afford it!"

Ning Chuchu smiled sweetly, "Respecting an old person is an elder, and Mr. Chen deserves it!"

"What's more, the Yingzhou Chen family is a righteous clan of the Ning State. I still remember that during the Jinghua period, the barbarians from the Western Regions invaded the Ning State. When the country was about to survive, the Yingzhou Chen family donated tens of millions of taels of silver to the country's war."

"He made great contributions to the Ning Kingdom in expelling the barbarians from the Western Regions. He was summoned by Emperor Jinghua and given a golden plaque, conferring the title of Lord of Loyalty and Righteousness to the then head of the Chen family!"

"Mr. Chen, although this title is not hereditary, the righteous deeds of the Yingzhou Chen family are recorded in the history of the country, and they can be regarded as famous for generations to come."

Chen Dingmao looked at Ning Chuchu in surprise.

That happened a hundred years ago. Nowadays, apart from the disciples of the Chen family in Yingzhou, very few people still remember this incident.

That golden plaque is still enshrined in the Chen family's ancestral hall in Yingzhou, and the words "loyalty and righteousness" are engraved on it.

That was the greatest glory of the Yingzhou Chen family and the most successful business done by our ancestors——

It is precisely because of the reputation of Duke Zhongyi that the Chen family in Yingzhou has developed rapidly in more than a hundred years!

Although he donated tens of millions of taels of silver, the Chen family now has the power to mine in Yingzhou.In the past, Chen's main business was tea.

Although the profits from tea were huge, they were still three points behind those from mining and smelting copper and iron.

During these more than a hundred years, the Chen family accumulated greater wealth and became a wealthy family in Ningguo.

And all of this is thanks to the imperial power!
Chen Dingmao knows it very well.

Imperial power can make a family take off, but in the same way, imperial power can easily destroy a family!
Now the Chen family in Yingzhou has become very large and extremely beautiful.

But behind this scenery, there is an unpredictable disaster!
After all, more than a hundred years have passed since the shadow of our ancestors has lost its luster and has even been forgotten.

And the golden plaque of loyalty and righteousness enshrined in the ancestral hall... it may not be able to provide the huge Chen family with the ability to protect against wind and rain.

For example, the Shang family in Jiangnan Province!

The Shang family is not just a descendant of the Prime Minister Shang a hundred years ago.

The people of the Shang clan still have the blood of the royal family flowing through them!
But so what?
Emperor Zhaohua was buried, and the regent just slapped the Shang family upside down?
The Chen family of Yingzhou does not have royal blood!
In the eyes of outsiders, the Chen family in Yingzhou is already a towering tree.

But Chen Dingmao knew that looking at Ningguo, the Chen family in Yingzhou was actually just a weak grass!

If Chen wants to exist safely, he needs the blessing of a real big tree!

There is the biggest tree in the world!
It’s imperial power!

Our ancestors invested imperial power to protect the Chen family in Yingzhou for hundreds of years.

Now, as the head of the Chen family, I need to hug this biggest tree tightly again for the tens of thousands of Chen family disciples in Yingzhou!

In this way, we can probably keep the Chen family safe for another hundred years!
So, he quickly bowed again and said casually: "Your Majesty, you are knowledgeable. That is what the Chen family should have done. To accept the emperor's favor... The Chen family has been cautious in their actions for more than a hundred years, for fear of letting others down." That golden plaque is covered in dust.”

Ning Chuchu's lips curled up, "That's good. Since Chen An is vigorously promoting industry and commerce, as long as it is a legitimate business, don't worry about making too much money and feel uneasy."

"Mr. Chen, haven't you eaten yet? Why don't you just eat something with us here?"

"I happen to have a small business. Let's see if Mr. Chen is interested."

Of course Chen Dingmao is willing.

This is the best opportunity to get close to the Regent!
As for small businesses...where is the royal business that is small?
Besides, business is not important, what is important is getting to know these two noble people!
This is a bridge.

It is also the most reliable bridge directly to the Regent!
But there were three more people upstairs.

He quickly added: "You two ladies, there are also three of my business friends..."

Xiao Baozi got a little impatient and waved his hand: "Then please come down together."

This is actually somewhat inappropriate.

After all, she is the woman of the future emperor, and her status is very different. It is against etiquette to sit at the same table with merchants like them.

If Zhongli Ruoshui were here, she would definitely not send out such an invitation.

Because they are already considered members of Li Chenan's harem, and according to royal rules, women are not allowed to participate in politics!
But Xiao Baozi is a person with no etiquette.

What Ning Chuchu did this year had nothing to do with etiquette.

So when Chen Dingmao cast a doubtful look, she nodded indifferently.

On the contrary, Bai Zhiwei was thinking more about Zhou Xiang. He quickly said: "There is a private room on the second floor. How about... going to have a meal in the private room?"

Xiao Baozi looked at Ning Chuchu.

Ning Chuchu sighed for three breaths and nodded:

"Okay...please ask the shopkeeper to deliver the food to Linshui Port as soon as possible."

Bai Zhiwei quickly bowed:
"Little man, let's make arrangements!"

Chen Dingmao bowed and said: "Two ladies, please come upstairs!" (End of Chapter)
