Chapter 37 Random thoughts

However, Cheng Pingan got Xin'er this day, and the Marquis of Rongwei had agreed to Feng Rongrong to be his concubine, but the old lady of the Marquis of Rongwei proposed to take back Feng Songxian's dowry.

Cheng Ping'an was not short of money, he only remembered that Feng Songxian brought a generous dowry when he married him, but even though it was rich, Cheng Ping'an didn't take it seriously.

Now he is running a lot of businesses, and there are caravans connecting the north and the south, and the money he earns every day has gone to sea, so how can he think of Feng Songxian's idea, so it's just that he didn't expect to return the dowry However, what the Rongweihou Mansion is doing now is obviously exchanging Feng Rongrong for a dowry, probably because in their eyes, a concubine is not as important as money, and Cheng Ping'an looks down on the Rongweihou Mansion.

In addition, when Feng Songxian married him back then, the Rongwei Hou Mansion did not agree, so that Cheng Ping'an still remembers the grudge, he made up his mind, no matter what, when Feng Rongrong entered the door, he would find a way to break up. The entanglement with the Marquis of Rongwei was broken.

Cheng Pingan happily agreed to return the dowry, and when she called Linglong, she only asked her to tidy up and return it to the Rongwei Hou Mansion, but Linglong hesitated for a long time before saying, "Master, the dowry without grandma is... maybe... "

"What are you afraid of?" Seeing Linglong's hesitation, Cheng Ping'an felt a little angry, and it showed on his face.

Linglong gritted her teeth: "I'm afraid it's not complete enough. Over the years, the master has promoted Xiaoqing to manage the business of the shops outside, and asked Hongfu to help with the housework. The two of them often crowded with Grandma Kuang and called, Let us girls not only want to buy things but not get the money from our house, a good wife and the main family are often withheld even the money they deserve, and our girls have no choice but to spend it with the dowry money. In the past few years There is also a lot of money spent, and a lot of things have been sold to live, how can I get it together now."

Cheng Ping'an was shocked when he heard this, and changed his expression for a moment: "How could this be? Feng is the one my matchmaker is marrying? I was afraid that she would treat you harshly, so I called Xiaoqing and Hongfu butlers..."

Linglong lowered her head, secretly proud of herself, but there were tears rolling down her eyes: "Master, why don't you think about what it's like to enter the mansion with the name of our girl and not be a housekeeper, but being taken care of by a girl? Our girl is not respected by the master, so naturally she can make a fool of herself, and the same is true for those two, who often wear gold and silver to show off in front of our girl, and the slave also fights for the girl's injustice. I wanted to tell the master, but the girl didn't call The slave said that he only said that he didn't want to embarrass the master."

What Linglong said made Cheng Pingan feel great pain in his heart, and at the same time he was furious, cursing: "These two sluts, no matter how much I value them, I can't go beyond the reason of the housekeeper's grandmother, they dare to carry me behind my back!" To act like this, I'm afraid..."

Cheng Pingan said in his heart that it was strange that Feng Shi became more and more divorced from him later on. I am afraid it was caused by these two sluts. Maybe they not only treated Feng Shi harshly, but also sowed discord. I am afraid Feng Shi was caught by these two things. To make a cheap death.

At this time, Cheng Pingan made a mistake that almost all men make, and he also has the mentality that almost all men have, that is, if something goes wrong, he does not find the cause from himself, but blames the mistake on others, but he doesn't think about it If it wasn't for his permission, how would Xiaoqing and Hongfu dare to do this? If it wasn't for him not giving Feng Songxian the right to be a housekeeper, how could Feng Songxian's life be so sad.

"Master, now that the Rongweihou Mansion wants a dowry, what if we can't get it out? It's not good for the Lord's reputation if it spreads out. No one will say that the Duke's Mansion is greedy for the dowry money of the daughter-in-law."

Linglong lowered her head and cried and said.

In her heart, she was secretly elated. Her words not only tricked Xiao Qing and Hong Fu, two girls who had been at odds with her, but also gained a lot of goodwill in front of Cheng Pingan. Knowing that Cheng Ping'an is a person who misses the old days, although Cheng Ping'an didn't like her very much when Feng Songxian was alive, but now that she is dead, Cheng Ping'an always thinks of Feng Songxian's benefits. Attack the opponent from the head, and benefit yourself.

She had long been envious of the caravan under Xiaoqing's management, and wanted to grab some money, but Xiaoqing served Cheng Ping'an very early on, and she held more weight in Cheng Ping'an's heart than Linglong, and Linglong was not easy to do it for a while. It happened that Cheng Ping'an mentioned Feng Songxian's dowry money, Linglong had an idea, and tried to use the excuse to provoke the caravan in Xiaoqing's hand to take it into her own hands.

Sure enough, she only made a few provocations, Cheng Ping'an not only believed it, but became angry with Xiaoqing and Hongfu, and Linglong cried bitterly when she saw her.

Cheng Ping'an comforted Linglong and called the housekeeper to ask some questions, and then asked Feng Songxian's earlier companion to intervene. It is true that Feng Songxian has been extorted for a long time, and some girls have seen Feng Songxian take out the dowry as money.

Cheng Pingan couldn't suppress the fire in his heart.

Although he is not a good person, he never thought of being harsh on his wife. He originally thought of making all his women happy, and he always thought that the women in his backyard were gentle and gentle like sisters, but now one When the bloody reality was stripped to him, Cheng Ping'an was hit hard and filled with righteous indignation.

He called Linglong and instructed: "Prepare according to Feng's dowry list. If there is anything missing, take money to make up for it. After preparation, send someone to the Rongwei Hou Mansion."

Linglong was delighted, she responded loudly and went to work.

Cheng Pingan wanted to dispose of Xiaoqing and Hongfu for a while, but he thought that these two people had been by his side since he crossed into this world, they were always gentle and respectful, and he was a little reluctant to dispose of them. .

I felt depressed for a while, so I rode out for a stroll.

Unknowingly, Cheng Ping'an rode out of the city on horseback. Looking at the beginning of summer, the beautiful scenery of green trees and red flowers could not help but open his heart, and his depression dissipated a lot.

He crossed the moat, but when he looked back, he was very surprised, and at the same time, fear grew in his heart.

It turned out that there were a lot of wooden machines standing beside the moat. Cheng Ping'an took a closer look and found that the principle was not much different from modern excavators, but simpler and not as convenient to operate as excavators. But this kind of thing was built in the Great Xia Dynasty. It's not ordinary people.

Cheng Ping'an thought too much for a while, and rode over to ask a craftsman who was directing the dredging: "Who made this machine?"

The craftsman recognized Cheng Pingan at a glance, and hurried over to greet him, Cheng Pingan jumped off the horse and observed carefully, smiled and said: "This machine is quite delicate, if it is modified again, it can be used in many ways, But it’s not bad, it saves a lot of manpower and material resources.”

The craftsman also laughed: "Young master is right. In the past, it took so many people and effort to dig the mud. Now that we have this wooden utensil, we really save the boss's effort."

Cheng Pingan asked again: "Do you know who made this?"

The craftsman laughed loudly: "It is said that it was made by the Ministry of Industry, but I saw the Commander of Jinyiwei come over and change a few places. Thinking about it, it may be his old man who came up with it. Speaking of which, the Commander is also strangely nervous. Others say he is the most sinister, but I see that although he is a little cold-tempered, he is the most hard-faced and soft-hearted, and he treats us craftsmen very well..."

Cheng Ping'an didn't care who the craftsman praised, he only had one sentence in his mind, Commander Jin Yiwei, Commander...

He was horrified, this commander was not the same person who went to the cemetery to dig his aunt's tomb earlier, that person's martial arts skills were extremely high, he kicked him far away.

Speaking of which, Cheng Ping'an is somewhat confident in his own skills, and he is nothing in front of that person.

He also thought about the fact that Emperor Qingping attached great importance to this commander, could it be... Could it be that this person also came from time travel like him?If not, how can he explain that he can create such wonderful things?

The more Cheng Pingan thought about it, the more flustered he became. For a while, he didn't care about talking to the craftsman, so he jumped on his horse and left.

He was flustered because of his lack of control, and he didn't have any sense of restraint when riding a horse. He entered the city in an instant, not wanting to knock down a woman who was carrying a child, and the woman who hit him let go of the three or four children in her arms and died. When Cheng Pingan saw it, he jumped off the horse and apologized, helped the woman up, hugged the crying child and put it in the woman's arms. Go to the doctor for a diagnosis and treatment, if there is anything, I will be compensated according to the price."

The woman didn't know why she had a bad face, she kept avoiding Cheng Pingan, holding the child away from Cheng Pingan and said: "No need, no need, I have nothing to do with you."

After speaking, he took the child and left.

Cheng Pingan quickly stopped him: "It's better to go and have a look. Cheng is not an unreasonable person, even if he bumps into someone, he will naturally bear the responsibility."

The woman became a little angry when she saw that she couldn't avoid it, she looked up at Cheng Ping'an and scolded angrily: "You are so unreasonable, young man, you stop me from doing anything even if I say I have nothing to do, I am busy at home, you get out of the way quickly .”

Although Cheng Pingan felt uncomfortable when he was scolded, he didn't say anything and gave way to the woman when he thought that he was wrong.

While muttering in his heart that the woman didn't know good people, he got on his horse and thought about when he would find a time to find out the commander and find out what his background was.
This was just a small episode, and Cheng Pingan didn't take it very seriously, but when all this fell into the eyes of a person not far away, he saw something.

One day, Ji Songxian was driving back to Jinling City to buy some embroidery thread and bring some snacks from the city for Mrs. Wu. As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw Cheng Pingan passing by. Ji Songxian didn't want to pay attention to this man, so he asked Uncle Wu to hide away open.

Later, when Ji Songxian saw Cheng Ping'an bumping into someone, the woman's words and deeds showed a little bit of discord, and although the child was crying, he was weak, obviously starved and seemed to have been given medicine.

Ji Songxian was shocked for a moment, thinking of a certain possibility, he immediately asked Uncle Wu to catch up with the woman.
