Chapter 1002： 309 Contradictions (1/2)
The outside world's various disputes over the peace talks did not affect the capital of Zhennan in the capital.
Due to the increasing summer heat, Xiao Yi got enough ice early, and two ice basins were placed in the room every day. The coolness revealed that Nangong Xi was unwilling to go out.
Meimei took a nap, and as soon as Nangong Aya got up, Lily entered the room with a large stack of books.
”Concubine Shi, the housekeeper Zhu sent the account books.”
Checking accounts is generally at the end of the year, but the accounts at the end of last year were really chaotic. In the past six months, Nangong Yu also spent some effort to rectify it, thinking that he should also look at the books in the middle of the year.
Moreover, Xiao Yi needs a lot of money to raise soldiers, and she also has to see where she can move some money.
”Take me to my study.”
Nan Gongxi gave a casual command and asked Bai Hui to save herself a home-made bun, only to wear a few beads, and went to the small study.
Nangong Yan looked at the books in the book case and asked casually, ”Is that all?”
Lily replied: ”The housekeeper Zhu said that there are still some that haven't been delivered yet. The new school's steward has just gone. I haven't had time to sort out the old accounts and I'll send them back later.”
Nangong nodded and asked her to prepare tea and snacks for herself, and then she looked carefully.
The original account books were burned by the owner of Nangong, and all the accounts have been re-recorded. Therefore, each of these books is only a few pages, although it is small, but it is much clearer than the original mess.
only……
”I still don't have any money.” Nangong Yan sighed with depression.
These industries that have been difficult to recover have spent a lot of money on rectification, and at least wait until next year to see some profits. I am afraid that the spending in this year will depend on the shipyard in Jiangnan and the money bank. If it is enough to support the government, the money is more than enough, but it is not enough to support an army.
And last time Xiao Yi mentioned that Fuzhong and Kailian in the southern Xinjiang had been forcibly taken over by the king of Zhennan. Both cities suffered great damage during the Nanban invasion. Xiao Yi took the initiative to exempt two years of taxation. However, urban reconstruction requires silver, and the temperament of Zhennan King may not provide a little silver for Xiao Yi's city.
Nangong Yu has a headache. In the past few months, the silver that has been sent to southern Xinjiang has been 70,000. It should be no problem for a few months, but ...
”No ... I won't show you ...”
Suddenly, there was a frivolous laughter outside, and Bai Hui, who was serving in the study, frowned, and was about to go out to remind him, but Nangong Yan simply put down his account book and exclaimed: ”You come in.”
The door of the study was opened, and Lily and Aunt came in a little hesitantly.
Bai Hui stared at Lily, but it was not easy to reprimand him in front of Nangong Li, but Nangong Li suddenly noticed that Lily's cheeks were slightly red.
Lily's blatant temperament blushes?
Nangong frowned, and said with amusement, ”Lily, take it out and see.”
Lily's face was stiff, she turned her head to stare at her, and then walked to the front of Nangong Yan with a grin, and spread her right hand. I saw a wooden ladle lying on her palm. This mule is nothing special, it looks a bit rough, like the craftsman who made this mule or a novice.
Let's look at Lily's reddish face again. Nangong Ai's mind suddenly flashed a thought, and said deliberately, ”This **** is just a workman, so I can't wear it out. I'll give you a better one, so don't forget it.” . ”
Lily quickly withdrew her hand and shook her head in a hurry: ”Second concubine, I, I like this.”
”Who sent it?” A word from Nangong Su suddenly made Lily's brain not to react, so she suddenly blurted out, ”It's Alan.” As soon as her voice fell, she knew she had said something wrong. Quickly covered his lips with his hands and stared at Nangong Yan.
A straight-headed person is easy to use! However, I didn't expect that Lily and Alan ... obviously, their first knowledge was very unpleasant. Later, Lily looked at Alan no matter what, and now it seems that they are a pair of happy enemies.
Bai Hui was also dumbfounded, staring at her cousin with her eyes wide open, thinking: This little girl, is such a big thing hidden from herself? !!
”It turned out to be Alan.” Nangong Nian nodded pretending to be contemplative, and when Lily looked at him nervously, she suddenly laughed and said, ”In a few days, let Alan come to propose you.”
Lily immediately opened her eyes and smiled, and nodded joyfully, without any twisting, but there were a few hearty children.
Although the eldest daughter who followed the hostess usually stays until eighteen, even in her twenties, but for the several girls who are around her, Nangong aunt naturally also hopes that they are good. It ’s okay to get married early.
It's a pity that Yimei ... Thinking of Yimei, Nangong Yan's expression was a little dark, but soon he got up his spirit and teased Lily.
Jokingly, footsteps came from outside the door, then Xiao Yi pushed in the door and walked in. As soon as Nangong Xi was in a good mood, he asked, ”What happy thing can't happen today?”
Nangong stood up and greeted him. Lily was a girl's house, and when she heard the word ”happy event”, she couldn't help turning her face into a red one, and hurried away, pulling her cousin and her son.
Xiao Yi was confused, and Nangong said with a smile: ”You're right, our family is about to do a happy event.” Then he said about Lily and Alan.
Xiao Yi heard a happy face and said, ”Alan's kid is really good. Lily is a good match for him.”
Nangong Ying answered, ”I think so too.”
Alan's temperament and character are in her eyes, and she can be regarded as a good match, so she agreed.
Xiao Yi took her to sit on the beauty couch, passed the book case, noticed the stack of books placed on it, and asked casually: ”... are these new books?”
Nangong nodded and pointed his fingers and said, ”I've forgotten about it for the time being, and can move another twelve dollars out of it. However, it's not always possible to rely on us to move west and west together. I've thought about it, but I still have to be young It's the silver that she got out of her hands, and she doesn't know where she's got all the silver ... It's too late, I'm afraid I can't rely on the emperor this time. ”
Xiao Yi had been listening with a smile. At this moment, a sly light flickered in his eyes, and said, ”Speaking of which, last time, my father asked me to give half of the property to Xiao Luan, and we just divided it.”
”You mean ...” A flash of light flashed through Nangong's mind, ”That's good!”
How many industries Old Lord left in total is naturally Xiao Yi's account. Xiao Fang dare to say that in these years, Xiao Yi's industry has only earned a total of 6,200 silver, so they can also say, Old Lord Just leave two shops.
Give his body in his own way.
Xiao Fang wants to give Xiao Luan some more industries, and she will definitely not give up. As long as she dares to make trouble, by then, her own Xiao family will come forward.
In the end, Xiao Fangshi has occupied a ”mother” status, and everyone in the world values filial piety. For Nangong Yu, in order not to hinder Xiao Yi's reputation, it is worth even more effort.
”Counting the time, it's time for the imperial edict to arrive in the southern Xinjiang ...” Nangong Yu couldn't wait.
Speaking of southern Xinjiang, soldiers in the battalion of Luo Yuecheng are still training in the southern Xinjiang, a thousand miles away.
Just listening to the direction of the martial arts from time to time heard the soldiers stepping, shouting, the sound of weapons collision ... one after another, endless.
At the gate of the barracks, two tall soldiers were guarding both sides of the entrance. One of them had a square face and saw no one around, and quietly shouted ”Three Trees.” He called his companion and whispered in his ear. .
”What ?! The princess has seized the world's grandfather's property ?! Qian Dazhuang, aren't you kidding me!” Another black-faced man exclaimed in disbelief, scaring Qian Dazhuang to look around Looked, glanced at his companion, motioned him to whisper.
Qian Dazhuang continued: ”That's still fake! Yesterday my mother-in-law came to see me in the camp and told me that it has spread out long ago. Why do you think the princess was sent to the Ming and Qing temple? Fined! ”
Why did the princess go to the Ming and Qing temples to pray for blessings? They naturally don't know, but since they are all spreading like that now, it must be true!
Chen Sanshu was almost stunned, and he sighed after a while: ”The princess's courage is too big, hey, do you think it is actually ...” Then, his voice went down, frowning, using The finger wrote a quick ”king” in the air.
Qian Dazhuang immediately comprehended, whispering: ”Listen to my mother-in-law saying that many people are saying this now. Whatever is said, there is a stepdad when there is a stepdaughter. It is really pitiful ...”
Suddenly Chen Sanshu's complexion changed, and he said in a hard voice: ”Old money, since you have been caught by the wind, let's talk to the centurion ...”
Qian Dazhuang was confused by him, ”When did I ...” Seeing his companions keep winking at him, he finally realized that he was wrong, and turned stiffly, only to see a middle-aged man in armor The man was looking at them not far away with sharp eyes.
The two soldiers busily bowed on one knee and performed the military salute: ”Have met General Song!” Oops! What they said just now does not know how much General Song heard.
Song Xiaojie strode forward to the two soldiers, and coldly dropped a sentence: ”Good job, don't chat!” Then he strode out of the camp.
The two soldiers frightened their legs and fought. I thought that this time, the punishment of the thirty army stick would be unavoidable, but did not expect General Song to let them go with one eye closed. The two glanced at each other with a long sigh of relief.
After Song Xiao distinguished himself in the camp, he immediately jumped onto a dark horse, and then galloped away towards Luo Yuecheng.
His eyes were dimmed and his mind was heavy. The words of the two soldiers were just the tip of the iceberg. Now what the army generals and the southern Xinjiang people think of Zhennan King is what worries him most!
Going on like this will inevitably lead to instability in the army and the people.
It seems to mention that Wang Ye is ... Song Xiaojie secretly said.
After arriving at Zhennan King's Mansion in Luo Yuecheng, Song Xiaojie first reported his military situation to Zhennan Wang Yan. After dealing with the matter, he said eloquently: ”Master, what will happen if I don't know what to mention?”
The king of Zhennan looked right, and Shen said, ”Xiao Jie, why can't you and me say that?”
Song Xiaojie rationalized his thoughts and said, ”Master Wang, do you know the most popular new drama in the city?”
The King of the South of the Town froze in a fog.
In the past, the princess Xiaofang loved to watch operas. From time to time, the chanting sounds were heard in the house. However, when Xiaofang went to Qingming Temple, the house became much quieter. Why did Song Xiaojie suddenly mention the opera? Xiao Fangshi interceded?
In the end, they are also husband and wife for more than ten years. If Song Xiaojie really loves him, he will simply go down the steps ...
Zhennan Wang was thinking, and then he continued to listen to Song Xiaojie: ”A few days ago, the drama team in the city made a new play, called” Girl Girl Teacher ”. This play is about a former general named Shi , The perennial battle went out, the family to the re-married step-family Wang Shi Rong, Wang Shi treats the eldest daughter left by the original match as her own, love as treasure, but unfortunately that girl Shi Shi is coquettish and wayward, disrespectful to the stepmother Over time, General Shi Da was very displeased with the eldest daughter. On the contrary, he loved the children born in the second room. When Shi Shi was old, General Shi Da hurriedly chose her family to marry her. Notorious, the married man's reputation is naturally not very good, but no one expected that Shi girl used evil to control evil spirits, and she actually turned into a widower and became a jinshi a few years later. After that, the city There were rumors gradually that the stepmother was unkind, and that the girl Shi had tarnished herself for self-protection, but the Wang family had a sinister heart, not only deliberately killing the girl Shi, but also took away the dowry left by the original match ... ”
”It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!” Hearing here, King Zhennan finally couldn't hold back his anger and interrupted him.
What is General Shi? What's Wang?
This play is clearly insinuating his own king of the south of the town and the little concubine of the princess!
These Diaomin are really brave!
The king of Zhennan looked so dark, he said angrily, ”Which opera team dares to be so bold?”
Song Xiaojie sighed for the attention of King Zhennan. For a moment, a lot of pictures flashed through his mind. Now the cities and army in the southern Xinjiang have spread, probably only the person in the bureau, Wang Ye, has nothing. Got it.
He gritted his teeth, and made his words clear: ”Master, not only those opera teams, but now the people in South Xinjiang are preaching that the princess's occupation of the world is not returned ...”
The king of Zhennan looked even more ugly, and almost came up without a shot. ”How did this happen ?!”
