Xu Fanming was confused: "How can this be just right? This is a big deal! Why don't you take it to heart at all?"
"Don't be impatient, escort." Chen Jinjun waved her hand to signal him to calm down and listen to her, "Why do you think I came all the way to Yongzhou?"
"An imperial edict granting marriage." Xu Fanming remembered the reason for that day, when Chen Jinjun was driven out of the Chen family by his third uncle's edict.
"Come on, my Chen family has never paid attention to the imperial court since ten years ago. What's more, now that the Qing Dynasty has fallen, why should I come all the way to Yongzhou for an imperial edict?" Chen Jinjun raised his eyebrows nonchalantly.
, his tone was full of disdain, and he obviously didn't take that rotten and dilapidated Doomsday Dynasty seriously.
"Why are you here? It can't be just wishful thinking because you secretly made a promise to Huo Pingyanfang?"
Xu Fanming's tone was urgent and angry. It was obvious that he was overly anxious and was talking without thinking.
"Stop it, I know the escort chief is thinking about me," Chen Jinjun laughed angrily at him, "Even if I am doing it for the Huo family's huge power in Yongzhou, I can't do it for those feelings."
Xu Fanming sat down and took a sip of tea. He also knew that he was too anxious just now and did not carefully consider Chen Jinjun's true purpose and motivation.
Chen Jinjun motioned to the maid to bring him more tea, and then while looking at the information in his hand, he said: "The capital can no longer stay, the Qing Dynasty is dead, and everyone wants a piece of the Forbidden City. If the Chen family wants to live, they have no choice but to leave.
"
"But you are the only one from the Chen family. The capital is in chaos, and your fourth uncle may not be able to keep your Chen family's business."
"So I have brought so many shopkeepers, and the shopkeepers have brought so many guys. As long as I gain a firm foothold in Yongzhou, the Chen family can go on without relying on business in the capital. As for the imperial edict, my old man gave it to me
It’s just an excuse.”
"What about your reputation? When you go out to do business, you can't do without your reputation, right?"
"What can you say about me? I'm shameless?" Chen Jinjun snorted, "It's their business whether they want to talk about what they say. What I want is for the whole Yongzhou to know that I, Chen Jinjun, the imperial merchant Chen family back then, came to Yongzhou to do business.
.”
Xu Fanming looked at her with surprise in his eyes. He had always thought that Chen Jinjun was only successful because of the Chen family's business. Now it seems that a businessman who can ruthlessly put himself at the forefront of public opinion can succeed even without the support of the Chen family's business.
It's just a matter of time.
"Xu is worried too much." He was a little embarrassed. He was ten years older than Chen Jinjun, so he couldn't do this.
Chen Jinjun saw what he was thinking, and twitched the corners of his lips with a smile, teasing him: "But compared to being ruthless, I am still a lot worse than you, the escort."
Seeing Xu Fanming's face darken, she added: "Even if I are turned away, I am sure to enter the Huo family's door. I, Chen Jinjun, will lend a hand to the Huo family's great momentum."
Xu Fanming was even more confused. Chen Jinjun's smile made his back feel hairy, but he couldn't figure out what Chen Jinjun was thinking.
Forget it, she has always had her own way. He, a charlatan, cannot understand the intrigues of these shopping mall veterans.
Early the next morning, Chen Jinjun sat on the gorgeous and fiery red sedan chair just like the day he left the capital.
Xu Fanming changed into the clothes of a bearer and mixed in with the team.
As the gate of Yongzhou City slowly opened, the long wedding procession walked along the official road of Yongzhou City towards the center of Yongzhou City.
When we first entered the city, there were not many pedestrians on the road. When the team reached a crowded place, the gongs and drums were noisy and firecrackers were blasting, making it very lively.
Chen Jinjun also deliberately spread the news of his marriage among the crowd, and more and more people gathered to watch.
Sitting in the sedan chair, she saw the bustle of people outside through the small window, and her gorgeous red lips slowly raised.
The Huo family concealed the news of the second son's death, so the bigger the fuss about my happy event, the better. She wants the whole Yongzhou to know about her arrival, Chen Jinjun.
Huo Tingyu stood on the high platform of Huo Mansion, watching the red sedan chair from far to near.
The adjutant next to him was a little worried: "If this continues, people will gather at the door, and the news of the Second Young Master's death will be unstoppable."
"I couldn't hide it in the first place. If I hadn't been able to explain it to the Second Young Master's maternal family, how could our superiors have mourned the Second Young Master openly?" The master next to him had already darkened his face. If the commotion continued like this, the Second Young Master's grandfather would soon be there.
After getting the news, if we continue to embarrass the eldest son, they will undoubtedly collapse their warehouse in Yongzhou.
"Good calculation and good means." Just relying on the masses to create momentum was enough for him to give Huo Tingyu a high look.
Seeing that his senior officer began to praise this woman, the adjutant became a little anxious: "What should we do now?"
Huo Tingyu watched the sedan chair approaching: "Send Pingyan's coffin directly out of the front door."
Although the adjutant was upset in his heart, he still followed the decision of his superior officer.
Xu Fanming was a little surprised when he saw the heavy door of Huo Mansion slowly opening. Huo Tingyu would not really welcome his late brother's fiancée into Huo Mansion.
He quickly knocked on Chen Jinjun's sedan chair: "The door of Huo Mansion is open, and I want to welcome you in."
Chen Jinjun looked at the two doors and had an unpleasant feeling in her heart. She frowned: "When the door opens, it may not be to welcome me in. It may also be that the people inside are coming out. Don't forget, today
Huo Pingyan’s funeral.”
The faces of both of them darkened, I'm afraid the person who came here was evil.
The wedding procession was getting closer and closer to the gate of Huo Mansion, and Chen Jinjun tightened his grip on the jade Ruyi in his hand.
White funeral streamers came out of the gate of Huo Mansion, followed closely by a huge, dark coffin wrapped in white cloth.
Chen Jinjun raised his eyebrows, as if he expected it, and said that it was not that simple after all.
Xu Fanming looked at the huge coffin and wished he could go up and smash it. Although he always thought he was very loyal, he had to admit that he was very violent due to the influence of his father who was once in power in the execution hall.
.
The funeral procession came this way, and the huge coffin was getting closer and closer to the red sedan. People on both sides held their breaths.
Pedestrians watching the excitement on the roadside were gradually shocked by the strange atmosphere. It turned out that the noise was getting smaller and smaller, but some people could still be heard talking.
"Who has gone to the Huo family? I haven't heard of it these days." Someone expressed the doubt in his heart.
"Look at that elegiac couplet. Huo Pingyan is the second son of the Huo family and the cousin of Marshal Huo." Someone with sharp eyes saw the ink marks on the elegiac couplet.
"With Mr. Huo gone, who will this bride from the capital marry?"
"Who knew, my husband died before we even got through the door." Someone lamented for Chen Jinjun.
"I'm afraid I have to go back to the capital."
Chen Jinjun listened to everything the people said about her in the sedan chair. She looked around and looked across the high courtyard wall to the viewing platform inside Huo Mansion.
There is someone there.
The cold wind of early winter blew up the hem of his jet-black cloak. Huo Tingyu watched the red and white things gradually meet on the road, his eyes becoming deeper and deeper.
"Master, if you do this, the Jiangnan Zhong family can't hide it." The master still held a small folding fan in this cold season.
"If you can't hide it, you can't hide it. How can the Zhong family run from Jiangnan to Yongzhou?" Huo Tingyu didn't care that the Zhong family would cut off his supply.
"The military pay in our warehouse is only enough to survive this winter." The master reminded kindly.
Huo Tingyu said nothing. It was too difficult to raise a strong army. Not only daily training, but also military pay was a huge expense.
However, the most important thing now is to send it to Huo Pingyan first.
Chen Jinjun, what would you do?
Huo Tingyu looked at the fiery red sedan chair and lowered his eyelashes slightly. There was bottomless depth in his eyes.
