Nongmen's fierce wife busy farming

Chapter 1061 Investigating the situation
Liu Gongren glanced at Mrs. Gu, and couldn't help sighing, "I heard that the general and his wife are a match made in heaven, and their fates are intertwined, which is why Diehe loves him now."

"Liu Gongren was joking, it's all rumors."

Bai Ningxiang twitched the corners of her lips, not planning to talk about her private affairs, "Since Gu Yiren likes the garden of my mansion, would the two ladies go and have a look?"

"Of course you can't ask for it."

While speaking, Bai Ningxiang led the crowd along the nine-curved corridor to the garden behind, around the artificial lake, watching while walking.

Knowing that the garden was created by Zheng Daru, the voices of admiration are endless.

It wasn't until the girl came to inform that the banquet was ready that Bai Ningxiang led everyone back to the main hall to sit.

After a meal, the host and guest had a good time, and after today's simple get-together, Bai Ningxiang has shown her face in Zhangzhou Mansion.

Walking around in Zhangzhou Mansion in the future will save some unnecessary troubles. As for the friendship with the wives, Bai Ningxiang does not plan to have a deep friendship, so it is good to maintain the status quo for the time being.

I just hope to meet in the future, to have a nodding acquaintance, and that's all for saving face.

In the past and present, Bai Ningxiang has lived many years. Whether it is the local magistrate, Tongzhi or Zhouzhi, they are not just superficial official positions.

Behind them, there is family support, even if there is no family, there are forces to rely on behind, Bai Ningxiang does not plan to have a deep friendship with anyone before finding out who is the enemy.

At the first meeting, everyone was probing with polite words, and no one would offend anyone until they had figured out the other's temper.

After the banquet was over, everyone drank a cup of tea and got up to leave.

The three wives bid farewell and left together, Bai Ningxiang sent them to the second door at once, watched them leave, and then returned to the side hall, asked Yun Ni to take off the extra accessories, and changed into a light silk casual clothes.

"Hey, serving guests is tiring. It's like looking at an account book. It takes a lot of thinking." Bai Ningxiang leaned on the beauty's couch, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Lie down, madam, the servant girl will massage your shoulders for you to relax." Yun Ni chuckled, thinking about the performance of the ladies today while massaging.

"Ma'am, the servant girl feels that Madam Gu's temperament seems quite arrogant today, even her daughter Gu Xuan is the same. I heard that Madam Gu is also the daughter of a family, and she is related to the queen's mother's line by marriage. What do you say?" Is she relying on this identity to do this?"

Mrs. Gu's natal mother and Sun's current mistress are sisters of the same clan. If you get closer, it is said that Mrs. Gu's mother is the queen's aunt... It's a pity that she is a side branch, and her status is much different.

Even so, in the eyes of outsiders, Mrs. Gu is close to the Sun family, and the Gu family is the Queen's lineage.

What an honor to be cousins ​​with the mother of a nation?

"If it's a descendant of the direct line, it's okay to be a little arrogant... Unfortunately, it's just a side branch of the same clan, that is, relatives who haven't been out of the fifth server.

There are some things that can't be seen through, and Madam Gu's identity is just to deceive those who want to cling to her.

Liu Gong didn't take her seriously without seeing her today?
Between the words, it is quite intriguing.

"Let someone ask secretly, is there any other suspicion between Liu Gongren, Mrs. Gu, and Mrs. Mu?"

Knowing yourself and the enemy can lead you to a hundred battles. On the bright side, everyone is smiling, seemingly friendly and eager. As for who looks down on who behind the scenes, it is really hard to say.

"Madam, don't worry, Ding Yang has already sent people to investigate. By the way, Feng Si sent ten shadow guards for Madam to dispatch." The water depth in Zhangzhou Mansion is safe, and it is more reliable to use your own people.

"Leave it to Ding Yang, let them pay attention to the movement of Zhangzhou Mansion, and report at any time if there is something to do."

Bai Ningxiang closed her eyes, and before the business got up, she had to get familiar with the surrounding situation before making a move.

After the banquet in the General's Mansion, those prominent people in the mansion were not idle, they were all inquiring about Bai Ningxiang's situation, whether they wanted to build relationships or wanted to cling to them, they were all active.

Moreover, the most obvious thing is that there are more people squatting outside the mansion, whether it is the servants in the backyard or the front yard, there are people who try to make friends with each other.

The most inquired is about her preferences as the general's wife, asking if she really grew up in the countryside, who else is there in her natal family, etc., but Han Jing, a great general, no one dares to inquire easily.

When Bai Ningxiang heard Ding Yang's report, she couldn't help shaking her head, "Let Mother Xue restrain the servants, especially those who go out to buy every day, be careful about this, and be strict with your mouth. If you talk nonsense and damage the reputation of the General's Mansion, directly Send it out."

"Yes, ma'am."

After several times of beatings by Ding Yang and Xue's mother, and the sale of a girl and servant for a profit, the mansion was completely quiet.

When Han Jing returned in ten days, Bai Ningxiang taught him as a joke, and then innocently shrugged her shoulders,

"It seems that my general's wife's influence is not small, and it has caused so many people to explore."

Seeing Bai Ningxiang's helpless expression, Han Jing couldn't help laughing,

"We suddenly settled in Zhangzhou. Those people with ulterior motives naturally have to find a way to find out about you and me. The intention is nothing more than friendship, and of course they are afraid of offending the powerful."

"After all, the Han family's influence in Qingdu is still very deep. Whether it's a local official or a local gentry, they all want to find out our temperament. Even if we can't get close right now, it will be easier for us to communicate when we meet in the future."

"If they can become wealthy merchants, they must have their own skills. Of course, some people with ulterior motives are not ruled out. As long as we take precautions, there will be no problem."

As Han Jing said, she stretched out her hand and pinched her nose, "If Ma'am gets bored, they are the ones who have something to do."

"What do you think? He didn't break the law, he just squatted at the door, you are a great general, can you arrest him and beat him up?"

Bai Ningxiang listened to Han Jing's tone, slapped his hand off, and gave him an indecent look by the way.

"Has the handover of your military power been completed?"

"Well, Lu Ran has already set off to go back." Han Jing took a sip of tea, looked at Bai Ningxiang's blinking eyes, and raised her eyebrows, "Madam, what do you think?"

"Ahem...you told me about the jade pit and the silver mine last time, remember, I'm going to open a Duobao Pavilion, and I've already found several master carvers, mainly focusing on jade carving and silver carving, as for the rest I'm still looking for it."

"But before that, there must be raw materials, so I'm going to let Feng Si take people to mine the jade pit first, and get back a batch of rough stones."

Bai Ningxiang thought for a while, silver mines are generally controlled by the imperial court, and the people below mine them strictly and selfishly, so before mining silver mines, adequate precautions must be taken.

Before she is absolutely sure, she will not move easily,
