When the four of them arrived at Mrs. Luo's house, Yu Mingqiu was not there.
I was also very surprised to see Madam Luo Junyao and Madam Song Huanluo, and a little surprised to see Qin Ning and Shen Hongxiu. Although Madam Luo came from an ordinary background, she had read a book after all, and she had seen a lot of things in the world while running an embroidery workshop over the years.
After hearing about the identities of Qin Ning and Shen Hongxiu, he greeted them calmly and gracefully.
Qin Ning and Shen Hongxiu were both from wealthy backgrounds, and they really didn't know anyone who lived in such a place.
They didn't know the relationship between Yu Mingqiu and Madam Luo, but they also knew that Madam Luo was running the yard previously. They also saw that she was well-founded and polite in conversation, so they all had a very good impression of her.
Naturally, there were no earth dragons in the Luo family courtyard, but Yu Mingqiu sent a lot of fine silver frost charcoal. At this time, there was still snow in the sky, and Madam Luo quickly pulled the four of them into the courtyard which was not bright but was very clean.
In the main room, I personally added charcoal and burned the fire even more vigorously.
The orange-red charcoal fire quickly warmed up the originally cold main room. Even a little princess like Qin Ning, who had never known cold since she was a child, couldn't help but get closer to absorb the warmth of the charcoal fire.
Madam Luo brought a bowl of hot soup for each of the four of them and watched them drink it. Then she also sat down and said, "It's snowing today, why did you come out?"
Song Xuan smiled and said: "We went to take a look in the yard over there. I happened to have something I wanted to tell Sister Luo, so I stopped by to see you."
The courtyard where the girls were housed was not far from Mrs. Luo's small courtyard, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was just a drop-in.
Madam Luo smiled and said: "I see, don't worry, Princess. I sent people all the supplies for the winter two days ago. If nothing else, it won't be a problem for the people living there to have a good winter."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Why should I worry about Sister Luo's work? Minmin and I just want to see how the weaving workshop is preparing."
Song Xuan nodded and smiled: "Exactly, I have looked at all the merchants that provide raw materials that Sister Luo told me before. I also visited two companies and agreed with them that the supply will start in February next year.
In addition, I have also found some sales. We have just started, and even if everything goes well, the volume won’t be too big, and we can’t really just go out but not get in.”
Madam Luo looked at Song Huan with some surprise. She knew that this girl Song was from the martial arts academy of Anlan Academy, but she looked like a talented girl with her gentle appearance. She didn't expect that this girl was so powerful.
A few days ago, when they were just doing things together, she casually told some news about Dasheng and some famous and reputable merchants in Shangyong. In just a few days, she was able to negotiate deals with people.
Not only Madam Luo, but also Luo Junyao and the others looked at Song Huan. Song Huan said calmly: "It's nothing, I'm just trying. I think...it's quite interesting."
Qin Ning looked at Song Huan with some confusion, "Where's the fun? We have nothing now and you go to discuss business with others? If you can't make something by then, wouldn't you have to lose money on both ends?"
Song Huan smiled and said: "I believe in Yaoyao. Since Yaoyao said that those spinning machines can make cloth faster and better, I naturally believe it."
Hearing this, Luo Junyao couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "Minmin, you say this to me, it puts a lot of pressure on me."
"It's a good thing to have pressure." Song Huan said.
Shen Hongxiu, who was sitting next to her and holding a soup bowl, said: "Minmin, how did you go out to discuss business with people? Is it because of your current status?" People are indeed different, and Sisi was disciplined. It is difficult to go out at home, but Minmin is able to run out and do so many things after her usual busy schedule, and it seems that she is not discovered by the Song family.
Even if many people in Uncle Pingjiang's mansion don't care about controlling her, this is still too powerful.
Song Xuan smiled and said: "Of course not. Aren't we going to start work after the Chinese New Year? Sister Luo and I discussed opening a weaving workshop first and registered it with the government. Then I would act as the manager of this weaving workshop. Let’s go talk business.” Although she is a young girl, Mrs. Luo has been able to run an embroidery workshop on her own for so many years, so she naturally has the means to talk to those merchants.
"Your weaving workshop has nothing." Shen Hongxiu pointed out.
Anyone who can do business in Shangyong is certainly not a fool. Who would be willing to negotiate a deal with an empty shell like yours?
Song Yan smiled and said: "I have money, and I don't need them to invest anything in advance. Why wouldn't they be willing?"
"..." Oh, use money to hit people.
But Luo Junyao was a little worried, "Minmin, is there someone protecting you? Don't let your money go to waste, so be careful."
Song Huan smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't forget that I am also a student of the Martial Arts Academy, and I still have the ability to protect myself." As a person who has been preparing to run away from home since he was very young, Song Huan feels that his own The self-protection ability is pretty good.
Shen Hongxiu said: "Both Yaoyao and Minmin are doing big things, and we can't seem to be of much help. From now on, I will be responsible for protecting Minmin's safety." She is still much stronger than Song Kuan, and her father is General, this aspect is naturally more convenient than Song Huan, who was born in the Earl's Palace.
"And me!" Qin Ning raised her little hand and said, "This princess can also protect you!"
Song Huan couldn't help laughing when he looked at the two of them, and said: "Then I'll give you two a hard time." Apart from anything else, Princess Anyang's strength is quite good, at least she won't be a hindrance under normal circumstances.
Madam Luo sat aside and looked at the girls with a smile, talking lively to each other, and she was in a good mood.
She had been the only daughter in the family since she was a child, and as a "widow" she naturally didn't have any good sisters. It was both novel and enviable to see these little girls being so close to each other.
Luo Junyao quietly moved his stool to get close to Mrs. Luo, looked at the three people making a mess on the other side and asked in a low voice: "Sister Luo, how are you and General Yu doing?"
Madam Luo's eyes flashed slightly and she whispered: "It's okay."
Luo Junyao was a little confused. What did you mean by okay?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Is General Yu's injury healed?" Luo Junyao asked.
Madam Luo frowned slightly and said, "It's not all healed yet, but the doctor said it's not a serious problem."
Luo Junyao looked at her appearance and somewhat understood.
"I understand, sister Luo, don't worry. General Yu's injury will be fine with the medicine prescribed by Divine Doctor Xue. Don't blame Ayan for enslaving him. He has been really busy recently," Luo Jun said.
Madam Luo couldn't help laughing, "So you're not concerned about his injury, but are you worried that I might misunderstand His Highness the Regent?"
Luo Junyao said innocently: "He made Sister Luo unhappy, why should I care about him? I am on Sister Luo's side. Besides... didn't he ask for his injury? Ayan hasn't deducted his salary yet.
"
Madam Luo couldn't help it any longer, shook her head and sighed: "She is indeed a good princess to His Highness the Regent." She always looked towards the Regent and refused to be misunderstood even for such trivial matters.
Luo Junyao didn't care about her teasing, "Has Sister Luo forgiven General Yu? When do you plan to move back to the Hou Mansion? Let me tell you, if you don't go back, all the dignitaries in the court will probably complain about General Yu.
It is a lie to them that they are already married. If it were not for the mourning period of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that the girls in the family would have been sent to the Marquis Mansion."
Above the court, the importance of standing on opposite sides is now clearly highlighted.
It turns out that Yu Mingqiu, a secret guard commander who had been missing for nearly ten years, came back and assumed the important position of commander of the armed guard army. Naturally, there were many people who were dissatisfied.
But now that Prince Ning's rebellion has failed, everyone in the court has their tail between their legs. However, Yu Mingqiu stood clearly on the side of the Regent's Palace from the beginning, and even got seriously injured because of it. Who doesn't know that General Xiaoyuan Hou Yu is the general?
The third most powerful figure in the Sheng army after His Royal Highness the Regent and General Luo?
With such a person, there are naturally many people who want to get married and have a relationship with him.
Luo Junyao continued: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there must be a lot of things going on in the Hou Mansion. A... person like General Yu may not be able to handle those things."
Madam Luo was not pretentious and said softly: "He has discussed this matter with me, but..."
Frowning, Madam Luo said, "Maybe I'm used to being alone these years, but for a moment I felt a little..." It's not that she doesn't look forward to her husband's return and the couple's reunion, or that she's deliberately being pretentious and embarrassing. Maybe it's because of Yu Mingqiu's behavior.
The identity change was so big that she hesitated for a while.
She really couldn't imagine what it would be like to suddenly turn into one of those noble ladies in the inner city. In contrast, it was more interesting to guard an embroidery workshop and her own small yard, and toss around the weaving workshop with these little girls.
It made her feel more at ease.
Luo Junyao said: "Sister Luo is worried that she will not be free after becoming a Marquis?" Luo Junyao quickly understood Madam Luo's concerns.
Madam Luo smiled and said: "Although I have never lived in the lives of powerful people, I have seen a lot of them. Those noble ladies seem to be pampered, rich and noble, but which one can be free? And those..."
"Am I not?" Luo Junyao said with a smile.
Madam Luo was startled. Luo Jun shook his chin and looked at the brazier in front of him and said: "Actually, as long as the human heart is not bound, you are free no matter where you are. The ladies Sister Luo mentioned may not feel that they are not free. Sister Luo
Now that you don’t want to reconcile with General Yu, why not give it a try? Even if the result is really unsatisfactory, as long as you are still you, what does it matter? Hasn’t Sister Yu been living well without General Yu these years? What if?
If you really don’t like it, won’t it be over if you kick him again?”
Madam Luo nodded slightly thoughtfully, and Luo Junyao moved closer to her curiously, "Is it true that General Yu still needs spanking recently? Sister Luo is reluctant to deal with him?"
Madam Luo's beautiful face couldn't help but turn red, and she stretched out her fingers to push Luo Junyao further away.
"What are you two talking about while hiding on one side?" Qin Ning asked loudly on the other side.
Luo Junyao turned back to look at her and said with a smile: "Of course you are saying things that only the two of us can listen to. Little girl, don't ask around."
Qin Ning was angry, "I'm a little girl? How much older can you be than me?"
Luo Junyao said with a smile: "I am your aunt, of course I am older than you."
Princess Anyang was speechless: You are amazing!
"Why is it so lively today?" Yu Mingqiu opened the courtyard door and heard the chirping voice of a little girl coming from inside. When he walked in, he saw several young girls sitting in the usually deserted main room full of flowers.
At a glance, he saw Luo Junyao sitting next to Madam Luo. Yu Mingqiu raised his eyebrows and said: "It's snowy, but the regent is willing to let the princess run around?"
Who is the yin and yang?
Luo Junyao raised his chin slightly and said leisurely: "It's snowy. I'm not worried about Sister Luo being alone at home, so I brought someone here to play with her. General Yu, on the other hand, is not busy with official duties in the army at the moment, so why is he here?
.”
Yu Mingqiu thought to himself: If you hadn't talked nonsense in front of the real mother, would I have been so worried?
The dignified General Wei Wu has to worry about the sudden disappearance of his wife in addition to his official duties. Who can be more miserable than him?
In fact, this is purely because General Yu is overthinking himself. Although Madam Luo has changed some of her attitude towards him these days, she only tells him her bottom line, likes and dislikes more firmly, instead of being the same as before even if she is unhappy.
I couldn't bear to say anything, but I never thought about leaving Shangyong to escape him.
Even if it's too bad, she should keep him out. This is her home, Shangyong, and her current and future career. Why should she leave if she hasn't done anything wrong?
Shen Hongxiu and Qin Ning were both a little surprised to see Yu Mingqiu. Qin Ning said directly: "You...General Yu, why are you here?"
"I have met the princess." Yu Mingqiu greeted Qin Ning before saying, "The real mother is the wife of the last general."
"Ah?" Qin Ning and Shen Hongxiu looked at each other, "Sister Luo is Mrs. Xiaoyuan Hou?"
"..." Why does the dignified Mrs. Xiaoyuanhou live in such a shabby place? General Yu, what exactly did you do to Sister Luo?
The two girls were obviously thinking something wrong, and both looked at Yu Mingqiu with a somewhat unkind look. Qin Ning was more direct, and her look was simply contemptuous.
Yu Mingqiu felt that he was very wronged, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Luo Junyao, on the other hand, was happy to see the joke. He stood up and pulled Song Huan and the other three out, "It's getting late and we want to go back. Sister Luo, let's make another appointment to talk in detail when the snow clears up another day."
Madam Luo quickly stood up to see her off, "It's snowy and the road is slippery, so be careful on the road."
Luo Junyao waved his hand, "Don't worry, Sister Luo. Don't forget to think carefully about what I told you."
Yu Mingqiu: What did you say to Zhen Niang again?!
I just teased you on a whim. Do you want to kill me?
General Yu deeply felt that the ancients said that only women and villains are difficult to raise. This is indeed a wise saying.
After seeing the girls away, Yu Mingqiu watched as the smile on Madam Luo's face gradually faded away and she returned to her usual graceful calmness. She couldn't help but feel a little flustered, "Zhen Niang, I..."
Madam Luo looked back at him and said, "Didn't you say something happened in the army? Why are you here?"
Yu Mingqiu said: "I was passing by when I came back from the city and stopped by to see you."
Madam Luo said: "I have nothing to do here, nothing to see. Yao Yao said that Chao Zhong has been very busy recently. Don't delay the business and go back quickly."
"I..." Yu Mingqiu was a little frustrated, "Zhen mother, don't be angry. I will tell you everything in the future and I will never hide it. If you don't like the Hou Mansion, can we live here?"
Madam Luo glanced at him inexplicably and said, "I'm not angry. You've recently..." She seemed to be afraid of her being angry? The problem is, she is not an angry person.
Yu Mingqiu looked at her hesitantly, "Are you really not angry?"
Madam Luo frowned and said: "I told you a few days ago, I hope you won't hide everything from me for my own good reasons. I also don't like you being deliberately injured. If you even hurt yourself,
You can hurt them at will. It’s hard for me to believe that you won’t die early in the future. I don’t want to be a widow for the second time. Besides...you don’t have to feel sorry for me and be careful about paying compensation, so that no one will feel comfortable."
Yu Mingqiu nodded repeatedly and said, "I remember them all."
"Then just do what you should do." Madam Luo said, "Or should we say that all the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government put down their official duties and run home from time to time?"
Home?!
Yu Mingqiu's eyes lit up, "Zhen mother, you..."
Madam Luo said: "Yao Yao said that there are many things going on at the end of the year and it is inconvenient for you to run here all the time. Let's move back to Xiaoyuan Hou Mansion later."
The princess is right, since there is no intention of reconciliation, life will still have to go on. If you really don't have a good life in the future, just make plans.
After these ten years, Mrs. Luo feels that she is not afraid of the future. No matter what the future holds, she believes that she can live her life well.
Yu Mingqiu was overjoyed, "Okay! Let's move now!"
It turns out that the little princess is not his bad luck, but his great fortune.
I have to send something to the Prince Regent's Palace later to thank the little princess!
