After finishing the meal, Liu Dapao felt worried.

I once heard someone pretending to be cool and said that his happiest time was when he was a teacher and only received enough salary to survive. I just felt that this person deserved to be struck by lightning for pretending.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that what others said may not necessarily come from their own feelings.

The higher the status, the messier worries have not decreased at all, but have become more and more numerous.

Not only do we have to face bigger and bigger tops that we couldn't reach before, we also have to guard against the bottom that we didn't need to be careful about before.

And the people above actually intend to win over the people below.

I used to compete with mediocre people in a battle of wits and courage, but now I'm scheming with outstanding people all day long.

Now that you are an official, why is it more troublesome than before when you were just a pure gang boss?

Ah~

When I think about it this way, I want to wash my hands of myself as soon as possible and retire as soon as possible~

As for how he should deal with it, after much deliberation, he seemed to have only one sentence: If it rains and the mother wants to get married, let him do it.

After finishing the meal and sending Suning Xian and Du Mengdong away, it was already completely dark. According to the time of later generations, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, close to ten o'clock.

"Niece, let's go on the way, why don't I give you a ride?"

"No, Uncle Su, I have something else I want to talk to Lao Xiong."

I thought to myself, what I really want to talk about has not been talked about yet, I just watched the two of you bickering.

But strange to say, he was obviously puzzled and anxious at home before, but after meeting Liu Dapao, she was not anxious at all.

Instead, he would help Liu Dapao lead the topic to cronyism, listen to articles full of hypocritical benevolence, righteousness and morality, and even chat with him about everything while eating, and actually have a great time chatting with him.

I really put that problem aside for the time being.

At this time, the meal was finally finished and Suningxian was finally leaving. How could she go home and sleep obediently?

However, when Suning Xian heard this, he reflexively glanced at the big bright moon hanging in the sky.

At this time, most people should have gone to bed.

Still chatting?

How long do you plan to chat for?

After the chat, can we still walk this night?

For a moment, Suning Xian looked at these two people with something a little wrong.

To be honest, when he was just having dinner, no, when he was fishing, he noticed that there was something a little unusual about the relationship between the two people.

But I didn't dare to think about it.

Because normally, the origins of these two people are too different. This is a real difference, and it is unlikely that they will get together.

Besides, the difference in age is quite big. Murong Yan has no idea who has high vision. Phoenix, Longson, Prime Minister's son, Pan An's appearance, and the top scholar in a new subject have all been introduced to her, but she has never taken a fancy to them.

It is impossible to fall in love with an older man in his thirties.

But...she is Murong Yan, who has always been rebellious.

Thinking about it a little bit, it is impossible for these two people to get together, but to talk about a misfire, this kind of thing seems to be...

How can I put it, people in this era did not have so high requirements for women's chastity. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Liu E was married for the second time, which did not delay her mother's etiquette for the world, listening to politics behind the curtain, and wearing a yellow robe.

Fan Zhongyan also took the initiative to marry his daughter-in-law to his student after his son's death.

In wealthy families, it is rare for parents to ask their children to marry strangers directly, and there are still some cases of pre-marital sex.

Based on Suning's understanding of Murong Yan, she could really do this.

For a moment, Suning Xian didn't know what to say.

Never mind, it doesn't seem so suitable, after all, I'm not really her uncle.

No matter, it doesn't seem to be the case, after all, this is the granddaughter of my old leader.

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "I will ask my tooth soldier to pick you up at the door in a while. It is dark and it is too late for you to go home. No matter how late it is, just ask him to wait for you."

At least I won't let you stay here overnight.

At that time, no matter what happened, there will be no explanation for what should not have happened.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Su."

Liu Dapao, of course, also understood what Suning Tien meant. In fact, when he heard that Murong Yan wanted to stay and continue chatting, he felt a little dizzy.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk this time, on the contrary, he actually really wants to talk this time. He also wants to ask Murong Yan about some things he doesn't quite understand, maybe she can know.

But he was afraid that the old lady would come to his door with a knife and kill him!

Besides, although this little girl’s grandfather is dead, she still has a father who is a military governor!

However, at this time, it was difficult for him to say no, and he seemed to have no money here. Instead, he seemed to have a ghost in his heart.

A gentleman is magnanimous, he doesn't really want to do anything with Murong Yan.

Anyway, at this time, almost everyone was thinking wrongly about them, but the two parties involved were not thinking wrongly.

Murong Yan didn't think nonsense because she had no etiquette in her eyes and had a completely contemptuous attitude toward secular etiquette. She didn't care what others thought.

Liu Dapao wasn't just imagining things, he was just feeling ashamed of himself. He thought this was nonsense.

If Murong Yan was older, for example, a widow in her thirties, he would have been kicked out at this late hour. He would still understand that a boy has to protect himself after traveling through time.

After everyone left, Murong Yan saw that Liu Dapao looked a little restrained, and even had a bit of emotion on his face caused by embarrassment and some unknown emotion, but she couldn't help but smile:

"Why, as talented as you are, are you still afraid of people gossiping?"

"Young lady, we are joking. We are like swans to toads. Even if there are any rumors, come to think of it, they are just to make people laugh, and no one will believe them."

"It's hypocritical for you to be so humble. In my eyes, you and I should be like fireflies compared to Haoyue. I am the firefly."

"Hmm, hmm? Girl...that's too exaggerated."

"Are you exaggerating? Forget it, it's not important. It's getting late. Let's talk about business quickly. Quickly, find a quiet room where no one will disturb you. I can't wait any longer."

………………

The other side.

"Sir, the banquet between Su Jieshuai and Black Heart Bear has just ended at this time. Murong Yan did not come out, and Su Jieshuai and Du Mengdong left together. They seemed to be talking and laughing, and seemed to be very affectionate. After they broke up, Du Mengdong went to find

Dragon Crossing the River, it is very likely that Su Jieshuai wants to meet the Dragon Crossing the River."

"Um."

Shen Yi nodded when he heard this. He first made a cup of tea for the yamen servant, then took out a copper coin and rewarded him. He smiled and said, "Su Jieshuai seems to think highly of this black-hearted bear. What do you think?"

, Jieshuai meets the black-hearted bear, what will he talk to him about?"

"How can a villain guess this? I think he should be gentle and try to win over her."

"Black Hearted Bear is an outstanding person. I have known him for many years, but I never realized that he was so capable before. If my prediction is correct, Su Jieshuai has no idea why he will cross the river in Qingping Town."

Long Liwang has been assigned an official position."

"Qingping Town? This... General Shi's entire army was wiped out. How can it be rebuilt in a short time?"

"Yangzhou has never been short of jobless refugees. If the dragon crossing the river was allowed to do what it wanted, it would take just a few thousand soldiers and horses to do it with just a breath of air."

"Qingping Town is an important town for soldiers and horses. Shi Ping used to be a fourth-rank general. He was a general who was honored by the Ministry of War and even received by the officials in person. With him crossing the river... I'm afraid he is not qualified."

"Of course, he may not be directly allowed to take over from Shi Ping, but a military town with three to four thousand people can always arrange a suitable position for him. As for what kind of position it will be, it still depends on how well they talk.

Will this dragon cross the river be obedient in the future?"

"He wants to...use Yizimen to completely control Yangzhou's military power, or even control Yangzhou Mansion?"

"He doesn't want to control Yangzhou any day. In the past, Yang Fujun was suppressing him, but now Yang Fujun has left. After all, I am a general judge who is temporarily in charge of the affairs of Yangzhou City. If he doesn't seize this

Chances are, that’s like hell.”

"However, this may not necessarily be a bad thing."

"Good thing?"

"Xiao Xiong can still be dealt with clearly. Think about it, if he really defected to Suningzhan regardless of the situation, why would Suningzhi have to work hard on his second and third brothers?"

"The situation between the DPRK and China is now very turbulent. It can change at any time. Yangzhou is the most important place in the south of the Yangtze River. Yangzhou is in the southeast. Once there is a change in Yangzhou, the whole south of the Yangtze River will be shaken. Once there is a change in the south of the Yangtze River,

Then the sky will collapse and the earth will collapse, and all life will be destroyed. Alas, the people have not had such a peaceful life for just twenty years~!"

"Sir, now... we have nothing to do with his Suning title. According to you, if the profits from the soy sauce method created by Black Heart Bear go into the pockets of the military, I'm afraid we won't even be able to control finances and taxes.

There is nothing they can do."

"It's not that bad. After all, the three brothers from Yizimen are all from Yangzhou and are old acquaintances. Besides, even if Su Ningzhan can win over Guo Jianglong and Du Mengdong, can he win over the entire Yizimen?"

"I asked you to investigate soy sauce brewing before. How did the investigation go?"

"It's not difficult to check. Recently, Yizimen has purchased eighteen ships of soybeans, all of which were shipped through Mengji Cargo. They only see the goods coming in, but not the goods coming out."

"Meng Kee Trading Company? Who is he and what is his background?"
