In addition to being the son of the prefect, Song Fei is also the noble son of the Anqing Marquis Mansion in the capital. His upbringing has been different from that of ordinary officials' children since he was a child. He is far more aware of the twists and turns among famous and powerful people than Su Liu.
.
Su Liu also understood very well that Song Fei really treated her like his own sister, so he would give her guidance and teach her that to be qualified for the role of the general's wife, it was not just about capturing the general's heart.
No one is ageless. A woman who relies on a man's favor to live her life once her age and beauty fade away, how can she hold on to that man?
As a royal wife, it is good to have a husband who loves and cares about her, but if she wants to gain the respect of her servants, she must have means and deterrence. Otherwise, how can she convince the public?
To put it bluntly, you are an incompetent matron, who would think highly of you?
Only with the love and respect of the husband and the obedience and respect of his subordinates can he sit firmly in the position of the mistress of the house.
Su Liu was not stupid. When Song Fei pointed this out, she naturally understood Ning Guang's true intentions. She was shocked and felt a little sad at the same time.
I don’t want to admit it anymore, but now it seems that the identities of the two are very different. In ancient times, people were more interested in matching well than in modern times. She was a little peasant girl with no identity and no background. If she didn’t even have the ability, then even if she could marry
For Ning Guang, as time goes by, she will probably be kicked down soon, and then she will live a melancholy life doing nothing in that backyard.
Song Fei reminded her that from the moment she and Ning Guang decided to get married, she would have to fight, fight with the family, and fight with the world.
Su Liu knew that she would do whatever she was in, but she knew that whenever she thought about the next step, she would feel a headache.
Sure enough, the most troublesome are those from famous families and so on!
But Su Liu is not someone who retreats when encountering difficulties. She will only become more courageous with every setback. Ning Guang gives her such a problem. No matter how difficult it is, the only thing she can do is to face the difficulty.
Seeing Su Liu's determined eyes, Song Fei knew that she had made a decision and said, "Decided?"
Su Liu gave a wry smile and said, "Do I have any other choice?"
If she doesn't love him, she can give up her choice, but she already has that person in her heart, which means she can't retreat and can only move forward.
"You are also too discouraged. Since Ning Guang can arrange it like this, he must have a back-up plan, and he will not let you get into trouble. But you must also show some skills, otherwise, he has arranged a back-up plan.
You don't have any means, you can't suppress it at all." Song Fei comforted.
Su Liu lay on the table dejectedly and said, "It seems that in the next few years, I won't be able to relax."
"You have to know that working hard now is better than working hard in the future."
"I know." Su Liu nodded, then thought of an important question, and said, "It's just that I'm afraid this trip won't be easy. You know, I'm just his fiancée. Taking over his property like this, the Marquis of Guangning
No one will spare me."
"So, you were tricked by him." Song Fei gloated. Seeing that she was about to change her face again, she hurriedly said: "But believe him, as long as he is here, you will have a lot less trouble. I think, what he left for you
People should have some abilities."
"Will you help me?" Su Liu looked at him pitifully: "Brother Song."
Song Fei almost spit out her tea and said, "If Ning Guang sees you acting coquettishly towards me, he will probably kill me."
"Please." Su Liu pouted and rubbed his hands together.
"Well, it's not bad to let the great general owe me a favor." Song Fei raised his eyebrows, his eyes sparkling.
Su Liu couldn't help being happy and said with a flattering smile: "Then I'll take it as your promise."
Song Fei snorted and couldn't help pouring cold water on her, saying: "Don't be too happy too early. I can't help you much. At most, I can sort out the relationships for you and stand behind you.
You still have to do it on your own, and you have to convince the people on his side of your ability."
Su Liu smiled and said: "I know, this is a war without smoke."
People's hearts are the most unpredictable. Su Liu's battle is bound to be disgraced if she fights well and beautifully. But as long as she wins, she will be firmly in the position of the general's wife.
"When do you plan to leave?" Song Fei asked.
"There's no rush now. I want to wait until I'm old enough to go. As you know, Ning Guang went to Mobei, and we don't know when the war will start." Su Liu said solemnly: "If you don't store the food well,
I feel uneasy."
Song Fei looked at her solemnly and said, "Enough is enough."
Song Fei and Su Liu have the best friendship, but they are also the sons of the prefect. They will never allow large-scale grain harvesting to happen, because it will break the price balance of a state. Once the prices of a state soar, the people will be resentful.
When ascending to heaven, the first thing that bears the brunt is the fault of the officials. If the prefect of one side can't keep the other side safe, what's the use of him?
"I know what's appropriate, and I will never make it difficult for you." Su Liu apologized and said, "It's just that everyone has selfish motives. I just want to ensure that my family has enough food for the next two years. If there is really a disaster of refugees,
When people can't buy food, I will release some food appropriately."
Song Fei also knew that she would not be the kind of person who would be greedy for money and take advantage of the national crisis to make money by killing people. He only said: "I know you have a sense of propriety, so you should be more careful."
Su Liu nodded and said: "Although the war has not started yet, there has been some movement at the border. You should investigate it carefully. It is inevitable that some people will know about it and take the opportunity to stockpile grain and raise prices."
Mentioning this, Song Fei's eyes flashed and he said: "People have been staring at those big grain merchants. If they deliberately stockpile grain and do not sell it, then don't blame us for being rude."
Su Liu is a political scumbag. She can see that if the war breaks out, it will inevitably affect price tensions. Food shortages are already very good, but if she digs deeper, she won't be able to find out much. Moreover, she is just a weak woman, not an official.
It's up to the parents to figure it out.
"As long as Gyeongju has enough food, there will be no such disasters as civil unrest." Su Liu said lightly.
If there is enough food, there is nothing to fear about war or anything like that. Song Fei and the others just need to prevent a large amount of food from flowing out.
The two of them put aside this topic and talked about Ningguang Industry again. It is said that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. To fight, you must first understand your opponent's preferences and weaknesses.
Since he couldn't go to Beijing for a while now anyway, Su Liu asked Song Fei to help the steward and others mentioned in Ning Guang's letter.
Song Fei responded happily. Since Ning Guang had such an arrangement for Su Liu, he must also have arranged a backup plan. I believe that once they go to investigate, they will soon have prepared information to submit.
She had to make arrangements before going to Beijing. Su Liu's hairpin gift was in July, which was less than two months. She also had to make arrangements to buy food and store it. With the private seal given by Ning Guang, she could get money.
After getting another accurate tip from Song Fei, Su Liu went to Daxing Bank to check how much money Ning Guang could use to see how much he could do.
On the battlefield, there are trophies. Usually, part of these trophies will be distributed according to grade, and the rest will be presented to the court. This is an unwritten rule. Otherwise, who would be willing to risk their lives?
How can you feed your family with that little military pay?
Therefore, as long as it doesn't go too far, the court will only open one eye and close one's eyes.
Ning Guang became famous as a young boy, and he fought more than 20 battles, large and small. As his rank rose, he naturally received a lot of spoils. At least Song Fei conservatively estimated that there were hundreds of thousands of taels. In fact,
?
"One hundred thousand taels?" Song Fei looked at Su Liu in disbelief and asked, "You said the private seal he gave you is only worth one hundred thousand taels? Impossible!"
Song Fei had a look of disbelief on his face. He was not a villain, trying to complicate matters. He was actually a second-grade general with only one hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver. Who would believe it?
If these trophies were of good quality, they would be truly priceless. He would never believe that Ning Guang only had such a small amount of property.
"Can I still deceive you?" Su Liuba played with the private seal in his hand and said: "You can tell me clearly. After excluding the fractions, there is only one hundred thousand taels."
Song Fei frowned and said, "Did he only give you part of it?" Otherwise, it wouldn't be more than this amount!
"Is this impossible? Third brother, do you think Ning Guangduo has enough money? Just to pay for his three thousand soldiers a few years ago, you spent tens of thousands of taels, not counting the weapons he went to buy. I heard
It is said that there is a weapons room in the General's Mansion, and all the weapons in it are more than a thousand taels, or even tens of thousands of taels." Song Xiao walked in from outside and said lightly.
Song Fei and Su Liu looked at each other, and both of them had a look in their eyes, that is, they are prodigal!
"If you ask me, considering Ning Guang's level of prodigality, having one hundred thousand taels is already a big deal." Song Xiao sat down like a ruffian and snorted.
"No matter how prodigal you are, it shouldn't be like this, right?" Song Fei still looked shocked.
One hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, that's a lot. One year, Qingzhi County, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver, Ningguang, he can't be as rich as Fangxian County Magistrate?
"This is just money. I believe he will have some value in his warehouse in Shangjing. But third brother, you know very well that no matter how much Ning Guang cares about Su Liu and no matter how much he wants to pave the way for her, he can't move the entire General's Mansion to her.
There are many eyes up here. If Ning Guang wants to do this, do you think Su Liu can hold it?"
This is true. If Ning Guang really vacated the general's palace for her, Marquis Guang Ning would be the first to refuse. This would not pave the way for her, but lead her to a dead end.
Well, Song Fei looked at Su Liu sympathetically and said, "What a pity, not only was he cheated, but he was also cheated miserably."
The private seal in Su Liu's hand had already fallen from his hand and fell on the table. He didn't understand what Song Fei meant. Ning Guang was such a prodigal. The things he handed over, especially the business done by those shops, would only make money.
That’s all, if you don’t make money, no one will want it even if you give it away.
And Su Liu wanted to run those things. In Shangjing, where every inch of land was at a premium, one hundred thousand taels was really not enough, and he would have to pay for it.
Damn it, this time it’s really a big trap!
Su Liu let out a cry, put his head in his hands and said, "By the way, can I cancel the engagement?"
