Bai Wei pursed her lips. The prince was so condescending to the nobles, really just because he wanted to reuse Bai Meng?

I'm afraid it's not the case.

She couldn't help but look for Chen Yu's figure in the crowd. He stood with the King of Nan'an, whispered, as if he noticed her gaze, and nodded slightly to Bai Wei.

"It is the honor of the civilian woman to be able to serve the prince." Bai Wei agreed.

The prince raised his eyebrows and said, "I will send someone to tell you the words you want to engrave."

Turn around and leave.

Bai Meng told Bai Wei to take care of her and followed the prince closely.

The prince and his group left, and the female family got the look of their master. They hurriedly said goodbye and returned home, and discussed, is there another opportunity for this indifference?

At least, his elder brother was appreciated by the prince.

The crown prince was born by the queen and had a very high reputation in the court. The emperor personally taught him, so he was very likely to be a great treasure.

They have to plan well, and they probably have to make friends with Bai Wei.

Gao was surprised. The young man was Bai Wei's brother. She said kindly: "People today are too interested in interests. If there is no benefit, they will not waste any feelings. The Ling family is gradually retreating, and your cousin has not entered the court and is doing business outside. They are willing to give some shame to the old man and the master, but they don't have any sincerity here. Ah Yu does not have a single official position in the court, and your background cannot bring them benefits, so they will naturally meet you coldly. This kind of face-saving relationship is not bad, but if you don't have any good careers with them, it will not have much impact."

Bai Wei said: "Auntie, I'm not good at these social interactions. I can still talk about them when I buy my jade jewelry. I don't know them and don't care about their attitude. After my grandfather's birthday party, we will go back to Baoyuan Mansion."

Seeing that she was open-minded, Gao couldn't help laughing.

"What did Han Shuo say when he saw Ah Wan?"

"He gave A Wan a golden lock, and he was unwilling to give up. He was ready to pursue A Wan again." Bai Wei frowned and was very annoyed by Han Shuo. "Old Mrs. Han wants to straighten Aunt Mei, so we can add fuel to the fire."

Han Shuo didn't have that big face, so he asked Chen Wanjun to be his concubine.

Mrs. Han put pressure on Han Shuo, and he had to compromise.

Gao said worriedly: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Bai Wei had a plan in her mind, and she didn't say much if the time was not right.

——

Chen Yu sent the King of Nan'an out of the mansion.

The King of Nan'an asked him to get on the carriage and talk.

The two entered and the guards sat outside the carriage.

The King of Nan'an poured a cup of tea for Chen Yu and said slowly, "Are you planning to come back?" He held a jade tea cup, which felt warm and delicate, and he gently rubbed his fingers, "Your uncle proposed to the prince to unify the jade mine into the management of the court. Every year, 70% of the wealth is handed over to the court, and the remaining 30% is used for the expenses of the jade mine. If it is a private mine discovered, 20% is handed over to the court to obtain the property rights. Baoyuan Fucheng is the concentration of jade mines, Xiyue Six or seven out of ten of the wealth comes from Baoyuan Prefecture City. It is precisely this wealth that the bandits and water thieves over there are rampant, and every year they stole 20% of the money given to the court by Wen and Jiang families. The military camp is also south of Baoyuan Prefecture City. It is necessary to transport military rations through the river channel of Baoyuan Prefecture City, and most of them are not robbed by the water thieves. The court sent troops to suppress the bandits, but they were uncertain. The prince discussed with me that since he had been rectifying and preparing to establish a navy army, what do you think?"

This navy was preparing to deal with the thief and escort the official Yin to the capital safely.

"A Yu, the water thief led by him has worked in the navy and is very familiar with water battles. One person can compete with twenty or thirty people. Only then will the navy be defeated in front of the thief. I hope you can come back and train a navy again." King Nan'an and Chen Yu are friends of life and death. The two of them were born and died and recognized his abilities very much.

Chen Yu worked as an escort in an escort business, dealing with water pirates and mountain bandits, and knew their tactics very well.

"I have investigated your situation in Baoyuan Prefecture. You are very clear about the terrain over there, and have fought with water thieves and mountain bandits. It is more suitable than those promoted in the military camp. Now the border is full of war, which is the time to use people. I hope you will think about it carefully." If King Nan'an proposes Chen Yu to go to the border, I am afraid that he will not agree. Targeting in Baoyuan Prefecture, training naval masters is also the top priority, and Chen Yu is an extremely suitable candidate.

"To be honest, I plan to wait for my grandfather's birthday party to talk to the prince about the navy in Baoyuan Mansion City. We are a coincidence. When the prince takes office, he just asks the orders." When Bai Meng proposed to pass the martial arts exam, he considered it as the form of Baoyuan Mansion, and he set his sights on the navy.

Seeing that he was pleased, the King of Nan'an couldn't help but mention: "This plan was proposed by Bai Meng, and his sister happened to be a very outstanding jade carver. The prince focused on the wealth of Wen and Jiang families and wanted his sister to take over it. If the silver handed over every year was much more than Wen and Jiang families, the prince would aim his knife at the Wen families. If the wealth was less than Wen and Jiang families, you had to be prepared."

The prince’s motive is that the Wen and Jiang families will also get the news, and it will be easy to deal with Bai Wei with the two families.

Chen Yu fell into deep thoughts. Wen and Jiang's families were in charge of the wealth of four or five in the West Mountains. If they could obtain the property of the two families, the national treasury would be full.

The prince lacks the most now. Bai Meng found out the prince's thoughts and proposed this plan to attack the Jiang family. The prince followed the situation.

If Bai Meng did this matter beautifully, he would be completely respected by the prince and become his knife.

Chen Yu said, "I understand."

King Nan'an never did anything without plans. Since he proposed this, he was not worried that Chen Yu would refuse.

The two reached an agreement, and the King of Nan'an looked relaxed.

"Marty Weiyuan asked you to be the crown prince. The emperor will issue an imperial edict soon. What are your plans?" King Nan'an leaned lazily on the soft pillow, "I don't agree that you have too much involvement with them."

Chen Yu pondered and said, "I have nothing to do with the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. I will set up my own business in the future. Whether they are good or bad, they have nothing to do with me."

Although he was named the crown prince and was able to disgust the Weiyuan Marquis and his wife, it was a burden and burden for him.

Marquis Weiyuan was not restless and his abilities could not match his ambitions. Marquis's mansion was gradually declining, and Marquis Weiyuan gradually withdrew from the center of power, so he could not wait to board the prince's ship.

If he becomes the prince, he will definitely clean up the mess for the marquis's mansion.

"The title of this prince is of great use to me." Chen Yu thought of what he was about to do, and his eyes were filled with coldness.

The King of Nan'an had a little understanding of the conflict between Weiyuan Hou and Chen Yu, which originated from his mother.

The death back then was too strange and suddenly died suddenly.

"Have you found evidence for so many years?"

Chen Hui looked solemn, "There are clues."

"In Baoyuan Prefecture?" asked the King of Nan'an.

Chen Hui nodded.

It was a big frightening person. He broke up with the Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion and left Beijing, but in fact he had been secretly searching for the person who treated his mother.

Most of the people who served in his mother's yard were transferred out of the village. The sky was dry and the things were dry, and a fire silenced them all. There was also a living person who found that he was from Baoyuan Mansion City, so he had been staying in Baoyuan Mansion City for so many years.

Receiving a dart is the profession that is easiest to cover up his whereabouts and purpose, and it will not make people suspicious.

The King of Nan'an patted his shoulder, "When will you go back to Baoyuan City and send me a message? I will give you the edict and confession."

Chen Yu nodded, he got off the carriage and watched the carriage slowly leave.

He went to the study and told Ling Bingde about this.

Ling Bingde did not object and agreed very much, "Today, the prince told me about the jade mine. The meaning he revealed was to hand over the jade mine in Baoyuan Mansion City to Wei Yatou for management. If you have the ability, you can protect her when necessary. I understand that Wei Yatou is destined to be an ordinary merchant. If she climbs higher and higher, and you are standing still, the disparity in the identity of the two people will appear."

He snorted, "Even if you marry into the Bai family, Wei Yatou is so outstanding, it will naturally attract more outstanding people. If she is retired from home, we will not care about you."

I was ridiculous and ridiculous, "I will try to be with her and not give her a chance to give me a break."

Ling Bingde angrily held the official text and knocked him on the head, "You are so promising, you're even married to someone!"

"The Bai family has saved me. When I got married with Weiwei, the situation was critical. Bai's father and mother thought that I had no medicine, so she would be happy with Weiwei. Even if I didn't recover, I could have a place to bury him." Chen met Ling Bingde and wanted to hit him again, and quickly said, "I am hiding my identity. They think I have no father or mother."

Ling Bingde paused his hand and sighed heavily, "They are honest and kind people, you can't be ungrateful. I think that Jade Wei and her brother are not ordinary people."

"I dare not forget the kindness of that day."

Ling Bingde waved his hand, "Go out, your eyes hurt when you look at you."

Chen Yu looked at the old man who changed his face and said he would change his face, "We will set off in half a month to leave Beijing."

Ling Bingde lay on the rocking chair. Hearing this, his closed eyelids moved slightly. He finally didn't open his eyes, "The old man can still be clean after leaving."

Chen Yu stood at the door and looked into the study. The old man was lying in the rocking chair under the windowsill. The twilight enveloped him. His frosty hair and his face were full of years of grotes, revealing vicissitudes.

He is now in his seventies and has less time to meet each other.

What the old man wanted was family reunion.

And the more ordinary and simple aspiration is, the harder it is to achieve it.

Chen Yu felt suddenly uncomfortable. The passing of his mother was a heavy blow to his grandfather. Overnight, his hair turned white and his straight back was hunched.

In the six years since he left Beijing, isn’t it just that the old man was worried?

Bang.

The door closes.

Ling Bingde opened his eyes, his turbid eyes were covered with red blood. He looked at the sky with clouds and sighed: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings."

——

Bai Wei left the capital for half a month, and Gao was very reluctant to leave. He took Bai Wei to go shopping while she was there.

Some wives from aristocratic families began to show their kindness and asked Bai Wei to carve jade ornaments for them.

Bai Wei asked Gao and selected some to take orders.

The days are busy and fulfilling.

The only bad thing is that Chen Wanjun's body has not improved after taking the imperial physician's medicine.

"Cough cough...cough..." Chen Wanjun curled up in his body, his face turned pale and almost transparent, without any blood, and blood was overflowing from his lips.

Gao's heart was tightly gripped, "It's not a solution to continue like this. A master in the Guo Temple was superb. Back then, Ah Wan was in poor health, so the master gave her a good health. Now the medicine given by the imperial physician is getting weaker and weaker. Let's clean up and send her to the Guo Temple and ask the master to take good health for her."

Bai Wei hurriedly said, "I asked Wen Lan to prepare a car. Without further ado, go to the Guo Temple immediately."

Chen Wanjun was lying on the bed and gasping. She was weak and weak, lying on the bed softly. She watched Gao and Bai Wei worry about her and were busy.

She held Bai Wei's hand, "Master Mingzhi is in seclusion, I'm afraid we won't see guests easily, we will leave."

"Who will succeed if you don't try it?" Bai Wei comforted Chen Wanjun, "Your health is not good, your elder brother will be sad."

Chen Wanjun pursed her lips tightly and did not speak again.
