Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 216 I Can't Be Overwhelmed (4)
The next day Mrs. Zhu told Lian Xiangjin the news. Lian Xiangjin was very dissatisfied when she heard that her father had just given some useless land. If you come to something else, you can only admit it.

I don't know if it's because of Luo Qian's wedding or because Songning County has no more fragrances, but Luo Jinxing came back very quickly after going to worship his ancestors this time.

After returning to the royal capital, I took a rest and came to see Xianglai.

With the side door opened by Xianglai, it is much more convenient for him and Yu Zixi to enter the Lian Mansion. As long as they don't make too much noise, Lian Xiu doesn't inquire carefully, and they come and go as they please.

Xianglai was a little surprised to see Luo Jinxing, and said, "Why did you come back so soon?"

Luo Jinxing said: "There is no reason to stay longer, so I came back earlier."

Xianglai said: "You can see me, Erjie and Tianlai?"

Luo Jinxing nodded and said: "Well, I've seen you all, your second aunt is in good health, and Tianlai is also good."

He pondered for a while, and said, "Guess who else I saw besides them?"

Xianglai asked strangely: "Who else is there? There seems to be no one worth seeing over there."

Luo Jinxing stared at her and said, "I saw Xu Zongde, and he told me about Tianlai's gold mine."

Xianglai was surprised and said: "This old guy, I thought he didn't have the guts to deal with the Lian family, but I didn't expect to sue you."

Luo Jinxing said: "Maybe I know that Lian Chongxue's mother and son are against me, and I am the only one who dares to clean up Lian's family, so I came here."

Xiang Lai said: "This old guy didn't think wrong, but he didn't know that you and I were on the same team."

Luo Jinxing said with a smile: "Well, yes, this old guy didn't even know that we were worried about telling the secret, but he bumped into it himself."

Xiang Lai said: "Then how did you deal with it?"

Luo Jinxing said: "I'm going to win over Chen Changzhi, so I gave him to Chen Changzhi, and asked Chen Changzhi to lock him up for any crime. It is estimated that he will never have a chance to come out in this life."

Xiang Lai said: "It's locked up well, now no one is even asking for the money deposited in the Korean embassy!"

After a pause, he asked again: "Then did you go well with Chen Changzhi?"

Luo Jinxing said: "It went very well. After beating Songning all these years, he wanted to curry favor with me. This time I took the initiative to find him, but he was too happy. He showed his loyalty to me with a lot of foam, and I agreed. If he is the magistrate of Huikang when I am in power, that guy will be so happy that he can't find his way, and he will definitely serve me wholeheartedly in the future."

Xianglai said: "That's good, but if you use him as the prefect of Huikang, I'm afraid he will not be much better than Cao Mingquan."

Luo Jinxing said: "What are you afraid of? By that time, the entire Huikang people will probably work for you. Are you afraid of suffering and poverty?"

Xianglai glanced at him with a smile, and said, "You really dare to flatter me."

After talking about the trip to Huikang, Luo Jinxing asked again: "How is your side, have you made any progress these days?"

Xiang Lai said: "Well, there is a little effect. We used the aggressive method to provoke Lian Xiangjin to ask for a lot of dowry from Lian Xiu, which made Lian Xiu lose a fortune."

Luo Jinxing said: "Well, the family is separated and the daughter is married. I guess Lian Xiu has been tossed a lot."

Xianglai said: "Brother Yu has asked the Korean embassy to formally negotiate with the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty. The two countries will exchange business and trade. The Northern Liao Dynasty will send envoys to Korea. Luo Qian is also interested in going."

Luo Jinxing said: "Go, it's good to go, it's better to let him in."

Xiang Lai said: "Well, Lian Xiu is very attentive to Big Brother Yu now. He probably got the news from Luo Qian a long time ago. It seems that he will not give up until he wins all the business rights in Korea."

Luo Jinxing lowered his head and said in thought: "At present, our plan is going smoothly, but even if we add Korean business rights, it won't force Lianxiu to the point of jumping over the wall."

Xianglai said: "Yes, no, I will increase my efforts in business and waste his money."

Luo Jinxing objected, saying: "No, this is too obvious. The bad relationship between you and him is not conducive to the next plan. I think we should wait for a while. There may be other changes in the matter. If it doesn't work, I will force the snow , put pressure on Lian Xiu through her."

Xianglai was a little worried and said: "It's not very good, what if she is in a hurry and then tricks you."

Luo Jinxing said: "It's okay, with Xu Lin here, she has killed me countless times over the years without success, not less than once or twice..."

Xianglai's face fell, and she said, "Are you trying to comfort me? Why does it make people worry more and more the more you listen to it?"

Luo Jinxing hugged her with a smile, and said: "It's okay, don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, and I will arrange it in advance so that she won't succeed."

Xianglai stopped talking, but she was thinking about finding another way.

After the two talked for a while, it was getting late, and Luo Jinxing left the mansion.

After Luo Jin left, Xianglai and Yang Mengwan had dinner and chatted for a while before going to bed, but at this time Xu Che who lived in the concierge knocked on the door and called Huiling out.

Huiling came back soon after she went out, went to Xianglai and said softly, "Miss, Wang Shi is here and seems to have brought news."

"Oh?" Xianglai quickly stopped undressing and said, "Let's go and have a look."

After speaking, he kissed again and tied up his clothes, and went out to the concierge where Xu Che lived.

The dumb coachman Wang Shi has been waiting here for a while.

Xianglai came in and asked, "Wang Shi, what's the news?"

This Wang Shi knew a few words before he was murdered and became dumb. Later, after he became dumb, it was inconvenient to communicate with others, so he could write more. Hearing Xiang Lai's question, he walked to the pen and paper prepared by Xu Che, and wrote: Lian Xiu went to Li Han Pavilion and hired Yuan Yao.

Li Han Ge Xiang Lai has heard of it a long time ago, it is a relatively famous brothel in the capital, but Yuan Yao has never heard of the name, and asked Xu Che: "Who is Yuan Yao, is it famous?"

Xu Che shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it, it's definitely not Li Han Pavilion's top card."

Upon seeing this, Wang Shi wrote again: The new girl is very beautiful.

Standing behind Xianglai, Huiling pursed her lips, probably laughing at Wang Shi's peeping at Lianxiu's woman.

Xianglai asked again: "Does Lian Xiu like her very much?"

Wang Shi wrote: I like it very much. These days I always go secretly, through the back door, except for the bustard and me, no one knows.

Xianglai thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I see, you keep watching, and let me know if there is any movement."

As she spoke, she turned her head and gestured to Huiling, who took out a bank note from her sleeve and handed it to Wang Shi.

Wang Shi didn't dare to unfold it, but he knew that as long as the bank notes were not too small, he went out gratefully.

After he left, Xianglai asked Xu Che to pass the news to Luo Jinxing and Yu Zixi tomorrow, and then he and Huiling went back to the main room for bed.
