After taking care of Shang Yue, Luo Junyao was in a good mood, and when he returned to his mansion, he still had a happy smile on his face.
Seeing Leng Shuang and Qu Tiange coming towards them, Luo Junyao smiled and waved to them.
"I've met the princess." The two of them also stopped to greet her.
Luo Junyao looked at Qu Tiange and said with a smile: "Is Mr. Qu's health okay?" Luo Junyao was still a little embarrassed about Qu Tiange, after all, Qu Tiange was one of his own now.
Qu Tiange nodded slightly, with a calm look on his face, "Thank you for your concern, Princess, I will recover soon."
"That's good, that's good." Luo Jun shook his head and looked at Leng Shuang, "Leng Shuang, are you going to hand over to Mr. Qu?"
Leng Shuang nodded in agreement, and Luo Junyao was a little reluctant, "Are you really going back to the northwest?"
Leng Shuang said: "Yes, after all, I am more familiar with the northwest, and I can't really help you in Shangyong."
Luo Junyao was very reluctant to part with this beautiful and powerful young lady, but he also knew that Leng Shuang had a different identity. As Xie Yan said, she could not stay in Shangyong forever, no matter who it was because of.
Therefore, she did not dissuade Leng Shuang. She just sighed and said, "You can come back and have a look when you have time in the future. You should be careful in the northwest."
Leng Shuang looked slightly moved, nodded and said: "Yes, thank you Princess."
"Go and do your work, I won't delay you any longer."
"My subordinates resign."
After watching the two of them go away, Luo Junyao turned back and walked slowly towards the garden.
"I wonder if Prince Wei will hide at home and cry."
Shang Yue did things neatly. Since he agreed to Luo Junyao, he did not delay. After taking a lot of relevant files from Luo Junyao and reading them, he told Luo Junyao that he would leave Shangyong in a few days. He asked Luo Junyao to give what he needed to the Lin family.
The letters and everything are ready and he will take them with him when the time comes.
As for Luo Junyao's desire to ask about Jiange's female disciples coming to Anlan Academy to teach, he has already written back to Jiange to ask the senior sisters. If anyone is willing then, he will naturally come to the Regent's Palace with his token.
When Luo Junyao was thinking of a way to trade with others, she prepared everything she needed. Among them were several letters addressed to the current head of the Lin family, her uncle, and several bags of various dossier on maritime trade.
As for the better ocean-going ships Luo Junyao said, she really didn't lie to Shang Yue. But she didn't intend to give it directly to Shang Yue. The Lin family is in the maritime business but not shipbuilding. Shipbuilding should be left to professionals.
People are relatively reliable.
Due to the turmoil in the last years of Dongling, Dasheng's overseas trade is not very developed now, so there are not many people who are proficient in shipbuilding technology.
Luo Junyao also knew that she couldn't do everything by herself. She was always playful and lazy, so shipbuilding was a big project, so naturally it was better to leave it to Xie Yan.
Considering that she contributed the blueprints, it is always okay to help her build a few ships at a discount and pay for the labor for free, right?
However, this is not something that can be solved overnight. Naturally, what we have to use now is what we already have.
After sending Shang Yue away, Luo Junyao thought that his plan was going to be one step closer, and couldn't help but hold his little face and lean on the table and laugh.
"Princess, Mrs. Zou would like to see you." The steward came in and reported.
Luo Junyao came back to his senses and blinked, "Zou? Is it the Imperial Academy editor's wife again?" Of course, there are more than one family named Zhou and Zou in the imperial city, but this is the only one who often comes to visit these days.
An old lady.
The steward nodded and said: "Back to Princess, that's right."
Luo Junyao said: "Tell her that I have something to do and don't have time to see her. If she still wants to talk about Mr. Zou's affairs, let her go and talk to the prince. Don't they talk about it every day that the female family members in the backyard are not allowed to interfere in the government affairs?
Why are you here to see me again now?"
The steward bowed respectfully, a little embarrassed, "Yes, Princess. But the old lady has been here several times. If she is allowed to continue making trouble like this, I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of our palace..."
Luo Junyao chuckled and said: "What is this? Who in Shangyong doesn't know why their family was demoted and why they came to visit? As long as I don't agree to her request, this matter will never end. You
Why not ask her if she thinks the grade of the Hanlin Academy is too high?"
"Ah, wait a minute. Ask her again, I, the princess, have never offended the Zou family. Why did Mr. Zou suddenly bite me in the court? What good does it do to him? Why did he open his mouth when others didn't? He
If you are determined to be a critical minister, isn't this asking for benevolence and getting benevolence? Maybe you can still leave your name in history in the future."
"Yes, Princess." The steward stepped out clearly.
Outside the gate of the Prince Regent's Palace, Mrs. Zou was standing tremblingly outside the gate, being supported by a girl. Passers-by would inevitably take a look at her and feel that this old lady was really pitiful.
Song Huan came out of the carriage and saw this scene.
Seeing Mrs. Zou's eager eyes towards him, she could only sigh in her heart.
If we had known today, why did we do it in the first place?
Outsiders don't know the inside story, but the Song family is still a noble family after all, so they know something about it.
After all, Mr. Zou was pushed out to test the reaction of the Regent. He was considered a public official and he was old. He originally thought that the Regent would not have an attack due to his reputation, so he dared to do this. You must know that this person only wants to love.
With reputation, many things are much easier to handle.
Who knew that the calculation was wrong, the regent really didn't care about reputation, and almost demoted him to the end.
Those old scholars wanted to go against the regent, but they also didn't want to break up with the regent, so now no one cares about the Zou family and just pretends that nothing happened.
I feel pity for Mr. Zou. His efforts for most of his life have been in vain. Now he is lying in bed and can hardly get up.
"Song, Miss Song." Seeing Song Huan approaching, Mrs. Zou hurriedly stepped forward and said, her face completely gone from the toughness she had shown in front of Luo Junyao a few days ago, "Miss Song, I heard that you have a good relationship with the regent, please.
Please intercede with the prince and princess and spare our master."
Song Quan frowned slightly and took a step back before saying: "Old Madam, I'm so flattering. I'm just a boudoir girl. How can I influence His Highness the Regent and the Princess?"
"Miss Song, please, my master, my master..." Mrs. Zou took two more steps forward and was about to kneel in front of Song Kuan.
Song Huan was startled and quickly avoided it.
The two girls who were following Song Huan also stepped forward to hold Mrs. Zou on her left and right, "What's going on with this old lady? Why are you kneeling down indiscriminately? Our girls are not relatives of the emperor, and we are talented.
At your age, aren’t you going to shorten your life?”
Mrs. Zou blushed, but she still looked at Song Hua eagerly, "Please take me in to see the princess."
Song Huan shook his head, turned around and walked towards the gate.
Just at this time, the steward came out. When he saw Song Huan, he immediately smiled and said, "Miss Song is here. Please come in quickly. I'll let someone show you the way."
Song Huan said thank you and looked back at Mrs. Zou, "That..."
The steward smiled and said: "Miss Song, don't worry, the princess already knows."
Song Huan understood that he did not intend to meet anyone, so he said nothing more and followed the boy who came to guide him into the palace.
"Steward, is the princess willing to see me?" Mrs. Zou asked quickly when she saw the steward coming out.
The steward shook his head and said: "Old madam, the princess has said that she cannot interfere in the government affairs. She has no control over this matter. Please don't embarrass our princess. She is young. If she says anything to the prince, I'm afraid she will be punished again later.
Impeached in court."
Mrs. Zou's face turned red and purple, and the steward ignored her and continued: "The princess asked the young lady to ask the old lady, she has no enmity with the Zou family, what opinion does Mr. Zou have towards her?"
Are you so impatient? If Mr. Zou insists on being a critic, why do you need to keep going here and there? Isn’t it a disgrace to Mr. Zou’s good reputation?”
After saying that, the steward bowed his hands to Mrs. Zou and told her to look around so that the old man wouldn't get into trouble at the gate of the Regent's Palace. Then he turned around and went in. Only Mrs. Zou and two girls were left outside the gate.
's guard.
Mrs. Zou was stunned for a moment, and her eyes suddenly flashed.
Yes, there is no enmity between their family and the Princess Regent. Why would my husband be the first to jump out and not hesitate to anger the Prince Regent and reprimand the Princess Regent?
No, no, no...
"Old lady?" The girl next to her asked with some worry, seeing her gloomy and ever-changing expression.
Mrs. Zou gritted her teeth, turned around and said, "Let's go back!"
Those people can't be like this. When they needed their master to step in, they made lavish claims, but now when something goes wrong, they pretend like nothing happened!
