Jiang Ru was no longer the aloof noblewoman of the general's palace before. Ever since she betrayed Jiang Zhe and left Dayan, she knew that the only person she could rely on for the rest of her life was the man in front of her.
Tuoba Mingge doesn't love her, so if she wants to stay with him, she must let him see her value.
The infant child was sleeping soundly. Tuoba Mingge lost interest after teasing him for a while. He was about to get up and leave when Jiang Ru suddenly grabbed his arm.
"Anything else?"
Tuoba Mingge frowned, somewhat impatient.
He was happy that Jiang Ru gave him a son, but that didn't mean that she could be arrogant and want more.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Ru sneered in her heart. Fortunately, she had already recognized Tuoba Mingge's true face. This man had no heart. He only loved himself.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, hiding the sarcasm in her eyes, and the smile on her lips was gentle.
"Ru'er heard that Master Feng discovered a factory that uses machines overseas. Ru'er wants to share the worries with your husband. Why don't you let Ru'er lead people to take down the factory?"
Feng Lian is Tuoba Mingge's confidant. He has a feminine appearance and raises the tail of his eyes when he looks at people. When he looks at people, he feels like being stared at by a poisonous snake.
Jiang Ru once tried to please him overtly and covertly, but Feng Lian remained unmoved. Even if Tuoba Mingge treated him with courtesy, he didn't know where Feng Lian came from.
Jiang Ru was aroused by him to win and lose, and she had to capture the person.
So she proposed to occupy the factory, not only to increase her leverage with Tuoba Mingge through meritorious service, but also to take advantage of the opportunity to get close to Feng Lian.
Jiang Ru was very interested in this man who suddenly appeared next to Tuoba Mingge and quickly gained his trust.
She always felt that Feng Lian had an unusual origin. If she left Tuoba Mingge one day, Feng Lian might be her destination.
Jiang Ru had a good plan in her mind. Tuoba Mingge had no doubt that he was there and really thought she wanted to help him.
"Do you want to go to Luoguo?"
Luoguo is the country where the factory was discovered. It is not far from the island they occupied. It takes at least three months to go back and forth by boat.
Jiang Ru nodded, sat up slightly and leaned against him, looking considerate.
"Ms. sir, Ru'er wants to share your worries. The island cannot live without you. Ru'er can't rest assured when others go. Don't you think so?"
Jiang Ru's words made Tuoba Mingge think deeply. As Jiang Ru said, he really couldn't get out, and the factory was just a rumor, and no one had verified it. They could make clothes by people, so why do they need it?
What about the machine?
It's just that Jiang Ru took the initiative to go, and Tuoba Mingge didn't stop him. If he really found something good, it would be a sure profit for him.
After thinking about it, Tuoba Mingge changed his expression, smiled and held Jiang Ru in his arms.
"Okay, then it's hard work Ru'er."
He readily agreed, completely ignoring the fact that Jiang Ru had just given birth to a child. In Tuoba Mingge's eyes, profit was everything.
"For the sake of my husband, Ru'er is willing."
The two of them each had their own agendas and agendas, but at this time they also reached a strange harmony.
…
Qiongzhou.
The news that Jiang Miao was going to sea was not hidden from her family. After Mrs. Zhang and the others found out, they didn't want Jiang Miao to go.
Going to sea doesn't mean you can come back overnight. In addition, there will be pirates and bandits on the sea, and your life will be lost if you are not careful. How can she trust Jiang Miao to go out as a young lady?
Mrs. Zhang was so anxious that she couldn't eat, and her mouth was blistered.
"Miaoya, let your servants go. There are so many guards in the Shen family. If any of them can't go, why does it have to be you?"
"Yes, Miaoya, Yingying and Anyi are still so young, are you willing to leave these two children at home?"
Shen Yingxue also advised her that Jiang Miao's idea was too bold. No woman had ever gone to sea alone. She was the first.
Jiang Miao couldn't bear to leave her children, but she still wanted to go outside and take a look. It had been ten years since she came to Dayan. If she hadn't gotten married and had children, she should have gone out long ago, and now was the best opportunity.
"Mom, eldest sister, I know it well. I will make arrangements for Yingying and Anyi. I will also bring all the luggage and bodyguards for the voyage. Wu Yue and Xiao Qiao are also following, so you don't have to worry."
Seeing her resolute attitude, the two of them knew that no matter how hard they tried to persuade her, it would be useless.
"You, you have to pay attention to your safety. The third child and the children are still at home waiting for you to come back."
"Um."
Jiang Miao plans to go to sea in September. She has to prepare the ship's luggage, and she also needs to prepare some weapons. The journey on the sea will not be peaceful, and Liang Duo's steelmaking can be used to forge new weapons.
There is also gunpowder, she also needs to prepare more.
Jiang Miao wrote down all the things she wanted to bring. It would take at least half a year for her to go there, so she had to prepare everything.
Yingying and Anyi knew that she was going on a long trip, and the two little dumplings were very unhappy.
Especially Yingying, she originally liked to stick to Jiang Miao, but suddenly her mother was leaving, and the little girl turned into a little crybaby.
"Mom, Yingying will miss you. You should also miss Yingying, okay?"
The little girl's tone was delicate and soft, her big eyes showed grievance, and Jiang Miao felt a lot of guilt in her heart.
She knelt down, took her daughter into her arms, put her hands on her back and stroked her gently.
"Mother promised Yingying that she would think of Yingying every day."
"Well, we should also think about comfort and daddy."
Although Yingying and Xiao Anyi quarreled every day, Yingying was the elder sister after all, and would never forget her younger brother in important matters.
"Okay, I want it all."
Jiang Miao wiped away her tears and warned her softly.
"When I leave, you have to listen to your father and grandma and wait for your mother to come back, you know?"
With Shen Yanqing and Mrs. Zhang, she didn't have to worry about how her children would fare poorly, and Shen Yingxue and Shopkeeper Qin were also there.
By the way, shopkeeper Qin just gave birth to a girl recently, and Yingying even went to see her. She looks like Liang Duo, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and fair skin. She is very cute.
It was the first time Yingying met such a young sister, and she fell in love with her. If Jiang Miao hadn't been going on a long journey soon, she might have stayed at the Liang family and refused to come back.
"You are the elder sister. You must take good care of your younger brothers and sisters when mother is away. You must also take good care of Aunt Qin's Mengmeng. When mother comes back, she will bring you interesting toys."
She coaxed her here for a long time, and finally got the two little ones to accept her going to sea. After dinner, the two little ones followed the nanny back to their own yard, and Jiang Miao was about to start coaxing the older one.
Shen Yanqing has been in a very low mood these past two days. He understands that Jiang Miao wants to go out, but he just can't bear it.
Everyone in the government office felt Master Shen’s resentment. It was obviously summer in Qiongzhou. In previous years, the government office was so hot that it was so hot that they could not sit still. They had to set up several ice basins to cool down. But now Master Shen is personally making the air conditioner. They all felt goosebumps rising on their bodies.
"Master Shen, what's going on?"
"Don't you know that Commander Rongning wants to go to sea?"
