Chapter 108 Discovery
After hearing Wang Xi's words, Chen Luo stood up and walked back and forth as if he was in Liuzhao Alley that day.
This may be his habit. When he encounters something he doesn't know how to speak, he will relieve his unhappiness in advance.
Wang Xi looked at him quietly, waiting for his mood to calm down.
After about a cup of tea, Chen Luo stopped and sat down next to Wang Xi again, but suddenly looked up at Bai Zhu who was serving them and said, "You retreat first, and you will serve when we call you."
Atractylodes several times looked at Wang Xi.
Wang Xi is their boss, and they can't do whatever Chen Luo says.
Wang Xi nodded at them.
A few Atractylodes lancea retreated.
Chen Luo thought the Wang family’s maid was pretty good, abiding by the rules, knowing how to advance and retreat, knowing how to be tactful, and knowing how to serve people.
He admired their actions of Wang Xi and his last.
Maybe he usually sees the maid who flocks to him after he nods.
"You also know that I have been to Tianjin Wei twice during this period." Chen Luo said seriously, "The war in southern Fujian is in a tight situation. After listening to the suggestion of Yu Zhongyi, the Minister of War and the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace, he built a shipyard in Tianjin Wei. The dock was repaired last year, and the former Fujian general was transferred to Tianjin Wei as the commander of the commander, and he recruited many ship workers one after another. But in May this year, the wind direction changed."
He said, and stood up again irritably, walking back and forth on the grape trellis: "First, I asked me to go to Tianjin Wei to see the situation of the dock, and a few days ago, I asked me to investigate the progress of the shipbuilding."
Chen Luo stopped and looked at Wang Xi.
Wang Xi thought that something might have happened at this moment.
She looked back at Chen Luo quietly and listened to him continue to talk curiously.
Chen Luo looked at her shiny gaze and felt a sense of relief.
Few girls like to listen to these things. Even if they listen, they are just perfunctory and polite. Unlike Wang Xi at this time, there is expectation in his eyes and curiosity in his eyes, which makes him clearly feel her concern for this matter.
He couldn't help but talk a little more and said, "I realized that the emperor asked me to go to Tianjin Wei to ask about the dock. It turned out that he thought that the dock of Tianjin Wei was too expensive and had to wait four or five years before he could benefit. It was too long and he felt that it was not cost-effective and was ready to stop work."
"Ah!" Wang Xi was surprised, feeling that the emperor was short-sighted when he did this.
It’s not a matter of restlessness in southern Fujian. It’s been a day or two. The Japanese pirates have been ashore for more than ten years. Southern Fujian has suffered from the disaster. She has heard of it when she was in Shu. The country and the country should be a century-long plan, so how can we calculate the gains and losses for a while?
Wang Xi said: "Would anyone say something in front of the emperor?"
Chen Luo smiled bitterly, feeling that it was really right to come to Wang Xi to tell him about this.
He said, "I thought so too. I even said something to the commander of Tianjin Weidu for a long time, but the commander of Tianjin Weidu told me that the emperor not only sent me one to ask questions, but Feng Liu from the Silijian who came more frequently before me, and he brought all the emperor's oral instructions, and asked more explicitly than me. The emperor just felt that it was too expensive and decided to stop the dock of Tianjin Wei.
"The commander of Tianjin Weidu told me about these things because he was afraid that the dock would stop and he would have no place to go."
Wang Xi had no choice but to comfort him: "There is nothing to do. What's your relationship with Lord Yu? Should I ask Lord Yu about what he meant in private? This idea was proposed by him. Now that he wants to give up halfway, he may be more anxious than you."
"So I thought so too." Chen Luo sat down again, and his expression became more tired. "But I thought, since I was going to see Lord Yu, I couldn't go without knowing anything. I stayed in Tianjin Weiduo for two days and carefully checked what Lord Yu might ask, thinking that if Lord Yu had given up, could I persuade Lord Yu to fight for it before the emperor? After all, this is a major event that benefits the country and the people."
Wang Xi nodded, agreeing with his behavior quite a bit, and said, "It should be true."
"Fortunately, I meddled with other people's business this time." Chen Luo showed a self-deprecating smile after hearing this, "It's a good intention to be rewarded - I found that the funding from the Ministry of Revenue to the dock remains the same, but Tianjin Wei did not receive the money. This money went around and finally flowed into the hands of Yan Hao, the promoter of Baoding Prefecture."
Wang Xi was stunned and couldn't help but sit up straight.
What is the operation?
When Chen Luo saw this, he really laughed, and laughed quite happily.
Wang Xi couldn't help asking: "What happened?"
Chen Luo said: "I didn't know that Lord Yan was actually the cousin of Ning Pin Ning, the biological mother of the Seventh Prince. Ning Pin's family, only this cousin entered the officialdom, and he was the largest official in the Seventh Prince's mother clan."
Baoding Prefecture's official position is a seventh rank. In the capital city where commanders and assistant commanders are full of commanders, it can be ignored.
That's why I've never been revealed?
Chen Luo would definitely not say these words to her for no reason.
Wang Xi's mind flashed slightly and he guessed: "Do you think the incense in Qianqing Palace is related to Ningpin?"
Chen Luo refused to comment, but said, "I want to find a way to recommend Doctor Wang to Ningpin."
If the emperor accepts it, it means that the emperor trusts the Seventh Prince and Ningpin more than him and the second prince; if he does not accept it, the emperor will make money for the Seventh Prince in this way, Ningpin must be one of his favorite concubines.
But in the past twenty years, when people talk about the favorite concubine, they will mention it, but they will think of Concubine Shu.
There are probably no one can tell how many stories there are except the emperor.
Wang Xi immediately understood the strangeness, and she said, "But I can help you?"
Since he had made such an idea, he would definitely have his own solution. She should not point fingers or interfere in the affairs. What she had to do was cooperate with him so that he could do less and do better.
Of course, Chen Luo already had his own ideas. He just felt stuffy and wanted to find someone who was tight-lipped and could understand his words.
"Don't do anything," he said seriously. "I don't know how much I found. If I am alerting the enemy, I don't know if I can keep you. So don't interfere, just pretend that I don't know about it."
Wang Xi immediately agreed.
She has always believed that she has a specialty in her profession and that she will leave professional things to professionals. If she is an outsider and an insider, something will definitely happen.
In the turbulent and turbulent court, even if Chen Luo is not a professional, he has to become a professional for the sake of his future. She only knows how to eat and drink all day long, so she should not get involved.
Chen Luo thought about his previous proposal to let her pretend to be a servant to meet the two scholars with him, and then seeing how happy she promised, she couldn't help laughing. She felt that Wang Xi was not only delicious, but also timid, but her timid but timid and generous manner not only did not make people hate it, but also gave people a kind of intelligence to judge the situation.
"You also tell Doctor Feng." He laughed, "If someone finds Doctor Feng's place, he will say that I once wanted to ask Doctor Feng for a medical treatment. Doctor Feng has no time for personal reasons, so he recommended Doctor Wang, who is also skilled in medical skills to me. You can't know anything else.
"This matter has ended here. If anyone comes to ask you, don't pay attention to it."
In the capital, snakes have snake holes and dogs have dog kennels. As long as you are determined, the grudge between Doctor Feng and Chaoyun can be investigated. Instead of involving Doctor Feng and a few others at that time, it is better to just be half true and half false, so that people can't find any flaws.
In addition to being gentle, Wang Xi's eyes at Chen Luo also had more praise.
Those who can put themselves in their shoes and protect others and do things for them are those who can go far and deserve respect.
Wang Xi repeatedly agreed, and when Chen Luo's affairs came to an end, he talked about the joy of moving in the past few days.
"When you have something to do, just need someone who wholeheartedly serves you." She said, "I haven't invited many people, but they are all good people. They have a good deal. With this banquet, they will definitely return the gift. It will be more natural to meet other people at that time."
Chen Luo is a person who does not doubt whether to use people or not. He is very supportive of Wang Xi’s arrangement.
Wang Xi then talked about the meeting. Of course, when she talked about this, she thanked Chen Luo first: "It's not you, it's impossible for Xiao Lihua to sing on the banquet." Then she asked the Shi family and asked Chen Luo tactfully, "I won't let you owe the Shi family favors, right?"
Being grateful and cared for is always a pleasant thing.
He smiled satisfied and said, "It's a coincidence. I thought that you held a banquet in the capital for the first time. Although everyone doesn't need to know the great ones, you still have to have it. One day, when I heard Princess Fuyang say that she wanted to invite Lihua to the palace and go to the palace to the singing party, I was worried. I felt that he must be more popular and sent someone to invite him. Who knew that when I happened to meet the Shi family to discuss the singing party with the Lihua class. The manager of their family heard that my people had also gone, maybe after he went back, he mentioned it to Lord Shi. Not only did he give up his life to me, he even paid the money for the singing party.
"I just rushed to Tianjin Wei and didn't have time to thank me in person.
"I can rest for two days in a row starting tomorrow. I have sent someone to send a post to Lord Shi and are ready to come to thank him in person."
Wang Xi felt relieved.
Chen Luo smiled and said, "Don't worry, these things are all in my heart. I have only met one of the two scholars recommended by Manager Wang. I have to take time to see the other one in the past two days. I will count on you when I have a chance to see Dr. Feng!"
Although the last two sentences sound like a joke, they are also true.
Wang Xi smiled and replied, "Don't you listen to the opera? You don't know whether the little pear blossoms are red or not?"
Chen Luo thought about it carefully. He practiced in the winter and in the summer. Apart from studying, he really didn't know about eating, drinking and having fun.
Wang Xi was surprised.
Unexpectedly, Chen looked so romantic and elegant, but his life was so rigid and boring.
She quickly changed the subject and talked about the housewarming banquet that day.
Chen Luo himself didn't feel that his life was boring. He didn't have a good impression of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion. He sneered and said, "The Xiangyang Marquis Mansion is not afraid. If they want to get together, they should come together. But you should pay attention to the Qingping Marquis Mansion. The second wife of the Qingping Marquis Mansion is not a simple person."
Wang Xi hurriedly said, "Why isn't it simple?"
