Lady Changning

Chapter 52 Opening a new path (2)

Seeing Xuan Jing's straightforward answer, Fifth Yiniang was also embarrassed. The people on both sides are her own family, so it's not good to help anyone.She looked at Xi Changning, usually she was the only one with a lot of thoughts, this time she didn't know if she could handle it by herself.

"Master Xuan denies Chang Ning just like that, but Chang Ning also refuses to admit it. You are about the same age as me, why can't you and I can't, just because you are a man?"

Of course, Xi Changning will not just give up like this. This idea has been in his mind for several days, and official women can't get in. The court is too cruel. Sooner or later, he has to figure out a way out. A place where she can retreat completely, the struggle between her and Xi Hanxue is still very long, and there are many people participating now, maybe it will be longer.

"Am I such a person? If you are a young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you don't do it, and you run out to do business. It's your father who knows what happened. Naturally, the Xuan Mansion is from Jianghu and doesn't like to care about you in the officialdom." thing."

Xuan Jing's worries are not without it, maybe it's because Xi Changning is a daughter, but Xi Changning's status is very embarrassing now, even if the capital and the palace are all celebrities now, I'm afraid it will be involuntary in the future.

"Master Xuan, as far as I know, the Xuan Manor now has a lot of business in cooperation with the imperial court. Presumably your father has long wanted to get away. The imperial court's money is not easy to make. The price is high and the emperor is afraid of angering the emperor, and the price is low. It's a losing business."

In the previous life, Xi Changning still remembered that when he married Yan Xiufeng and went back to the mansion for a visit, he saw Wu Yiniang frowning and asked out of politeness. It is equivalent to losing his left and right hands, and Master Xuan became seriously ill with anger. The turmoil did not subside until the third prince ascended the throne.

When Xuan Jing heard what Xi Changning said, he was taken aback. What he said was not bad at all. His father was also very worried about it. Some officials were corrupt and deliberately lowered the price. His father could not afford to offend him. He once asked his father to leave the court. Now that if the power wants to leave the imperial court, even if there is a loss, it can be earned back. I am afraid that in the future, those officials will open their mouths one by one, and it will be difficult to escape.So the Xuan Mansion looks glamorous, but the hidden dangers are also great.

"How did you know?" Xuan Jing blurted out.

Of course, Xi Changning would not say that she knew it a long time ago, she could only say that she knew a little bit, hoping to fool her.Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, Xuan Jing thought that she must have some idea, can such a person be used?

"Master Xuan, there is no one in your court, I think someone like me is perfect."

All businesses require capital, and Xi Changning has nothing but herself, so the only bet she can make is herself.Xuan Jing is a businessman, with a frizzy surface, but once the interests are discussed, the essence of a businessman will be revealed.

"Auntie, are all the people in Xiangfu so strange?" Xuan Jing was curious and funny, this girl was not small, and she was also ambitious.

Fifth Yiniang was quite embarrassed, this Chang Ning was really on guard against everyone, she was only let down a little earlier, but now that she is connecting this girl with Xuan Jing, she can't feel at ease unless there is an exchange.Really think this is talking about business, or Xi Changning.

Xuan Jing looked at Xi Changning again and again, and he had a solid foundation in his heart. Since it was introduced by his aunt, it should not be bad, but it would be too cheap for this bold girl to agree so easily.After thinking about it, he took out a brocade bag from his cuff and handed it to Xi Changning.In the capital, he didn't just join in the fun with Huangfu Zimian, there was one more thing waiting to be done, let's test this girl now.

"This is a small town on the edge of the capital, Hucheng. If you can take it back, it's yours."

Xi Changning was startled, took the land?It could still be hers.Is this testing her or cheapening her?
When Wu Yiniang heard that it was Hu Cheng, she quickly took the brocade bag from Xi Changning's hand, and opened it to reveal the land deed.The mouth began to mutter words again.

Hucheng was not called Hucheng at first, but it is called Hucheng mainly because there are refugees who fled from Human.It was originally the Xuan family's land, but in the early years of the famine, the refugees were given temporary refuge. Later, the barbarian refugees from the north occupied the land and refused to give up the land, dragging on for many years.Xuanjia talked about the morality of the world, and originally said that refugees should take refuge, and barbaric refugees are also refugees, so the use of force is absolutely unacceptable.The land is a good land, I am afraid that if this continues, I will panic, so I want Xuan Jing to take the land.

Coincidentally, Xi Changning proposed to cooperate, and now it can be regarded as a bargain for her.But if this land is really so easy to harvest, that's fine. The problem is that those barbarians are unreasonable.

"You kid will have problems. When your father went to reclaim the land, he was teased by those savages, so he didn't say anything because he couldn't bear it."

"Master Xuan, Chang Ning has taken over this matter. I hope Master Xuan will remember what you said."

Seeing such a good opportunity, Xi Changning would not give up no matter what.

"Okay, if you can get it back, not only will the land belong to you, but I will also pay half of the funds in the future. But you must not forget what you said before."

The second half of the sentence is what Xuan Jing wants to say. The power of the Xuan family does not affect the officialdom. His father is still full of blood, but he did the business of the court in a daze, so now they need people from the court too much.Xi Changning is smart and low-key, which is just right for him.

Xi Changning nodded to admit the feasibility of this matter.In this way, the two of them reached a consensus.

"Xuan Jing."

Hearing Wen Run's voice behind her, Xi Changning was stunned again. She couldn't control the anger in her heart, and always rose up and down when she met the second prince. Is it too early?

"Miss, the second prince said he wanted to find Young Master Xuan, so I led the way."

It turned out that Mingyu led the way, otherwise it would be impossible to find it so quickly.Xi Changning turned around and bowed, treating him like an ordinary prince, with a deliberate calm on his face, even Mingyu found it strange, let alone others.

However, there are also people who are slow-witted. For example, the second prince Huangfu Zimian, I don't know if he is born slow-witted or just keeps silent.Just nodded to Xi Changning.

But Xuan Jing knew who Huangfu Zimian was. Although he traveled all over the world with the old Taoist priest, his temper was very simple. It's cottony.

Xi Changning originally thought that Huangfu Zimian was also an indifferent person, so he left after saluting, as if this had nothing to do with the person who gave her the Zilong wooden plaque before.But still couldn't help asking Mingyu.

"Is there something wrong with me?"

Mingyu was a little at a loss by this question, and shook her head.Xi Changning teased himself, what kind of problem is this.

She didn't want to be caught by the third prince as soon as she walked outside the hall door. Since she rescued her from the fire last time, although she took care of her personally, the prince also told her about it, and she agreed.

"Are you avoiding me on purpose?"

No matter how dull the third prince, Huangfu Shenqian, knew that Xi Changning was avoiding him, it was too obvious to turn a blind eye to him.

"The third prince is overwhelmed, Chang Ning just doesn't want to cause trouble to the third prince."

Xi Changning answered evasively, but it was from his heart.

The third prince didn't seem to be listening, the cold air on his face covered up his gentle face again, he pulled Xi Changning over and imprisoned her between the wall and his embrace.

"Did the prince say something to you?"

The pretty eyes are full of anger, presumably she has concluded that there is something between her and the prince.It doesn't matter what she says.

Seeing that Xi Changning didn't speak, the third prince became even more angry, even he himself didn't know where the anger came from.

"Is it him!"

Seeing the anger of the third prince with his own eyes, Xi Changning was also stunned. Is this still the usual gentle third prince?Although he knew that he was pretending, he had never seen him so angry that even his handsome face was a little flushed.

"Third brother."

The gentle voice appeared when she was most unable to react, like a life-saving straw, the third prince turned his back to everyone, and when he turned around, he had already changed back to the original third prince.

"Second brother. You're here. It just so happened that I teased this girl, Changning, and ended up being so frightened. I won't dare to tease this girl next time."

A few words also explained why the two of them appeared in front of everyone in this posture, and the matter passed like this.

"I never saw you so naughty when I was a child. After being with my elder brother for a long time, my temper has become naughty. That's good. It will save you from being as taciturn as when you were a child."

Is it true that Huangfu Zimian has no clue at all?Xi Changning didn't think it was an act. If it was true, how could this person be so indifferent, only thinking about the good, not the bad.

"Second brother is joking. Go in and have a look at elder brother and fourth younger brother. I'm afraid the eldest lady's kindness will overwhelm them."

The third prince was able to come out free, mainly because the attention of the eldest lady and Xi Hanxue was on the prince.

Before leaving, the third prince looked at Xi Changning silently, Xi Changning was still in fear, as if he was still surrounded by an aura that did not belong to her, suffocating her.

Xi Changning didn't step into the hall again, and he didn't know when the prince and his party left.Instead, he and Mingyu returned to Tayue Pavilion.

Since Xi Changning was originally an idle person, the maids and mothers of Tayue Pavilion were also very casual, and they didn't know where to be lazy at this time.Only Xi Changning and Mingyu were left in Tayue Pavilion.

Seeing that the young lady was absent-minded, Mingyu brought the young lady a glass of water, and then helped the young lady tidy up here and there.I have long been dissatisfied with those maids in my heart, and I gave them a good look, but I learned how to climb trees, and secretly neglected the lady so much, today I have caught the current, what will I say about them.

When Xi Changning thought of the brocade bag in his sleeve, he immediately took it out and inspected it carefully. The material of the bag itself is high-quality and there is no need to study it. The main thing is the land deed inside. No matter what happens in the future, she doesn't need to rely on the Xiangfu for food.

Just thinking about this, she feels that all attempts are worthwhile, but the previous few failed to take back the land, what can she do with a single child, if this land belongs to her, Xi Changning, then she can't mobilize any forces from the Xiangfu .

It seems that before everything is prepared, one should go to this Hucheng to have a look.
