After Hou Dayong left, Fu Ying always felt that the mansion of a big mansion was empty. Although there were little lotus seeds chatting to relieve boredom every day, the longing for Hou Dayong grew wildly in his heart like a weed.

Fu Ying likes Wang Changling's seven-character quatrains, especially frontier poems, such as "The long clouds in Qinghai are dark in the snowy mountains, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass from afar. The yellow sand is wearing golden armor for hundreds of battles, and will never return until Loulan is destroyed." "The pipa dances and changes the sound of the new sound, and always leaves the old feelings of the mountains. I can't hear the sorrows of the border, and the high autumn moon shines on the Great Wall." Fu Ying always reads the poems of Wang Changling's equally outstanding boudoir resentment. But I don't like Wang Changling's equally outstanding boudoir resentment. In the past few days, Fu Ying has become obsessed with the boudoir resentment poems: "The young woman in the boudoir does not know how to be sad, and she puts on the green tower in spring. Suddenly, she sees the willows on the street, and regrets her husband finding a title." Fu Ying looked at the newly-launched green leaves in the yard, repeatedly lowered the short quatrain, and felt that this poem said everything in her heart.

Fu Ying has good physical fitness and a mild pregnancy reaction, which has little effect on life. Fu Ying lives a very regular life every day. After getting up in the morning, she goes to Qiuju’s yard to see the children in her belly and chat with her. Qiuju was born in a family of books. Before her father had an accident, she also read books. She was one of the few women who could read the words at that time. When Fu Ying learned that Qiuju could read, she would bring some poems from time to time and read them to her. Qiuju didn’t understand something very much, so she explained it to her. Fu Ying and Qiuju had another important topic, which was the little baby in her belly. When they talked about this issue, they always kept endlessly.

Chunlan saw that Fu Ying and Qiu Ju were pregnant, and she was anxious and sad. She originally liked to sit in Qiu Ju's yard after getting up in the morning. However, she met Fu Ying many times in Qiu Ju's yard. Fu Ying and Qiu Ju talked about poetry and papers, but she couldn't get into the mouth. When the two talked about children, they made her pity for her life. Gradually, Chunlan went to Qiu Ju's yard in the afternoon.

Fu Ying is now the hostess of the Hou Mansion. Although there is a housekeeper Ouyang Yu, many things must be decided by her. Fu Ying comes from a noble family and is knowledgeable, but after all, she is less than 20 years old. She is actually a little girl. When she encounters a difficult thing and is in a dilemma, she hopes that the husband will come back as soon as possible. However, Hou Dayong's arrival in Fengxiang Mansion is not counted as the battle time, and it takes more than one month to go back and forth, so Fu Ying can only make her own judgment.

Meng Shu returned from the south by going to sea from Hangzhou, to Qingzhou, and then back to Zhengzhou. When he was in Qingzhou, he could go north to Cangzhou. Meng Shu missed his younger sister Meng Zhen very much. After his eldest sister Meng Qing died at Wanshou Temple, his younger sister Meng Zhen was his only relative. After he joined the army, Meng Zhen was sent to Cangzhou and lived in the Marquis Mansion of Cangzhou in the name of Hou Dayong's sister. After returning from the south, Hou Dayong gave a big red envelope to Meng Shu. Meng Shu did not expect that Hou Dayong would give him so much money, which was the salary for him to serve as a military officer for two years. After Meng Shu got the money, he took out his daily savings and bought a small yard in Zhengzhou, wanting to take his sister over and reunite his brother and sister.

Before Hou Dayong's expedition, he asked him to pass Yuguan (Shanhaiguan) and enter the north, and opened up the route of Liu San buying horses before. He repeatedly instructed him to find Fu Ying to make decisions in everything.

Meng Shu took out a simple map drawn by Hou Dayong and the name and residence of the merchant in the north. After discussing with Wu Erlang, he decided on the northbound route, the size of the caravan and the coins required, and then went to Hou's mansion to find Fu Ying.

After hearing Meng Shu's plan, Fu Ying took the map, carefully considered it, and said, "I heard from the husband that I had met the horse thief in the north. I wonder if I am still moving near Yuguan?"

Meng Shu said: "The Defensive Envoy told me about this. Although the official has suffered from such a disaster, there are not many people. As long as we are fully prepared, we should be able to protect ourselves. The Liao general who had dealt with Liu San in the past has been transferred. After the new Liao future, we will have to contact us again and spend a lot of money to bribe it." He also said: "It seems that we can't rely solely on Liu San's original contact person. We have to open a commercial road and have to set up another route, but this trip is not possible."

Fu Ying said: "If you have money, you can make the devil push the mill. Only if you are willing to spend money should be able to open up the trade route. I have a suggestion: If you can buy goods transported to the north, you should buy them in Cangzhou. From Zhengzhou to Cangzhou, it is also a long way."

Meng Shu said: "Mrs. I'm right reminding me. I'll go find someone familiar with Cangzhou and ask what's in Cangzhou."

Fu Ying smiled and said, "Do you still need to find someone? The shopkeeper Fu, butler Ouyang, Niangzi Qiu and Niangzi Chunzi are all from Cangzhou. Just take them and ask them."

Meng Shu slapped his head and said, "I forgot this."

After Meng Shu left, Fu Gong asked for something again and said, "The Liu of Yangpu, Qingzhou, is here, and says he is in trouble."

It was the first time that the Qingzhou shopkeeper Yang Pu Liu met Fu Ying. Yang Pu Liu knew that Fu Ying was Queen Fu's own sister. He had never seen such a noble status before. He came forward and bowed uneasy. When Fu Gong was speaking, he looked up at Fu Ying and saw that although Fu Ying was dressed as a woman, he was really a beautiful little woman, wearing a light yellow dress and a jade hairpin on his head. He had a noble spirit in his elegance.

Fu Gong said again: "Let's talk about the specific matters of Manager Yang."

Yang Pu Liu didn't dare to look at it anymore and said respectfully: "The rich shops have a good business in Qingzhou. People in the yamen were jealous when they saw it. They changed their ways to collect money every few days. A while ago, the military officer Zhu Liulang called me to the yamen and said that the rich shops had contraband and wanted to be sealed. In fact, he mentioned before that he wanted to occupy 50% of the dry shares."

"Fifty percent of the dry thighs, your appetite is too big." Fu Ying was a little angry when she heard this. Xiao Lianzi was beside her and hurriedly said, "Madam, don't get angry."

Fu Ying said: "Pinglu Jiedushi came from my father's disciple. I wrote him a letter to ask him to come forward."

After saying that, he felt that it was inappropriate and said, "But if the Jiedushi comes forward, it seems that he is a little bit of a big deal. Let's do this. The shopkeeper Fu wrote to him as the steward of the Marquis's house. In addition, he will give him some money. If he sees it, he will stop. Even if the matter is over, if he still has to be greedy after collecting the money, he will find Jiedushi Lu."

Yang Pu Liu said: "This is great. I will go to the Fujia General Store later to check out what good things are there. Now the Fujia Store is the best in Qingzhou. All the newly arrived toilet papers have been ordered by wealthy families. If it weren't for the high price, they would have been sold out. Qingzhou scholars couldn't put them down when they saw the new paper."

After Yang Pu Liu came out of the Marquis' Mansion, he kept thinking about every word Fu Ying said, and felt that Fu Ying was like a person in the painting. Two years later, Yang Pu Liu had become the largest business in Qingzhou. Whenever he got drunk, he would always say: "Mr. Fu's sister talked to me that day."

Fu Gong waited until Yangpu Liu finished talking about the matter and said, "Fujia shops now have more than ten branches, mainly dealing in iron and paper. They sell too well now. All places are urging goods to be asked for, but the craftsmen work overtime and cannot supply them."

"This problem is not easy to solve. It seems that it will take several more workshops to open."

"I can only expand the workshop first if I don't open a new shop for the time being."

"That's all."

Xiao Lianzi was on the side and saw Fu Ying talking about another thing. She was worried that Fu Ying would not be able to stand it. She took advantage of the conversation and said, "Madam, take a break."

Fu Gong and Yang Puliu saw this and quickly bowed and said goodbye.

While Fu Ying was dealing with housework, the Black Eagle Army surrounded Huangniu Village, but was not in a hurry to attack. The Lion Camp reconnaissance cavalry was exploring around the eight military camps, looking for the enemy's flaws.
