In the Wang family, Xie Minghui is now a top-notch good wife and very popular. If she fails to deal with Lu Zhu's matter this time, she will lose points for herself and lose power in the palace.
On the contrary, as long as she handles it properly, the Wang family will fully support her, and she will be able to stabilize this family.
Of course, there are some reasons that she can't explain right now.
As a couple, we still have to talk about our feelings.
Although Xie Minghui also has confidence in Wang Mi and believes that he will not do such heartbreaking things, but who can tell clearly when people's hearts are separated from each other?
Wang Mi's true thoughts, since he could bring her back and still treat her with courtesy, it is conceivable that Wang Zhiyuan also likes facing such a stunning beauty.
Who knows, he might get confused and get involved with Lu Zhu?
Maybe, he has that kind of sign in his heart now, but he can't do it because of feelings.
Xie Minghui's temperament will never turn a blind eye to this matter, and she must take care of it. Therefore, how to take care of it has become a relatively big problem.
If it can end with Lu Zhu voluntarily withdrawing, then it will be an acceptable result for Xie Minghui and Wang Mi.
The relationship between husband and wife was also preserved.
Perhaps, that little flame was snuffed out invisibly, and it never even showed up.
On the other hand, if a quarrel really breaks out, or even over such a woman, the quarrel becomes violent and the two families are disturbed.
How things will develop is beyond Xie Minghui's control.
If this develops and something happens that Xie Minghui doesn't want to see, what should we do?
She didn't want to face this fact.
Therefore, he had no choice but to take the initiative to spy on Lu Zhu's thoughts. Fortunately, Lu Zhu didn't seem to be such a stalker.
No matter how she behaves in the future, Xie Minghui has taken advantage of this opportunity. In the future, if things change, she will have something to say.
However, there was one thing that she seemed to have not thought carefully about. This was something she only thought of after getting in the car.
Since a large sum of gold was given, there must be a witness.
Obviously, He Mai, He Wuji, and Xie Minghui in this mansion all know each other and are quite familiar with them. Why not let them testify?
Or just hand the gold to Luzhu in front of them and accept it on the spot. After that, if there is any dispute, you can have a rebuttal.
unwise!
Big mistake!
The gold has been given away, and there is no way to get it back, and it is impossible to pull Lvzhu and perform it again in front of He Mai and the others.
Xie Minghui was upset in her heart. She just felt that such a big flaw appeared during the execution of a perfect plan. It really shouldn't have happened.
The originally comfortable mood suddenly became uncomfortable...
After Xie Minghui left, Lu Zhu was not idle either. He stared at the gold on the table for a quarter of an hour.
Gold is of course very good, who doesn’t like it?
Who doesn’t need it?
Of course I'll take it!
Lv Zhu tied the baggage again and held it up with both hands. It must be said that Mrs. Wang's move was really good. These golds are heavy.
You don’t need to melt them down to check them, and you will know that they are all in good shape.
Opening the treasure chest, a black cloth bundle suddenly appeared next to some sundries!
Luzhu also took a look, smiled with satisfaction, and placed the flower bundle sent by Mrs. Wang next to it.
Tsk tsk...
Is this called, good things come in pairs?
On the other side, Wang Shilang, who had been busy all morning, just got some free time and got out of the workshop.
Since handing over the responsibility of the prisoner presentation ceremony to Fan Ning, the burden on Wang Shilang's shoulders has been relieved a lot, and he feels comfortable all over.
While others were still taking a bath, he got into the workshop and started working on serious matters.
This is also very normal.
Others are originally focused on the battlefield, and attacking cities and hunting lands is his hobby. He is interested in anything related to war. As for other things, he can take care of them if he has time. If he doesn't have time, of course
Nothing can be done.
As soon as he arrived at Jiang's workshop, Wang Mi was surrounded by craftsmen, old and young. There were many new faces in Jiang's workshop, all of which Wang Mi had never seen before.
Everyone was very enthusiastic and wanted to make firearms with Wang Shilang, especially those who were not selected, and wanted to see if they could be re-elected by getting along with Wang Shilang.
The opportunity is rare, who can give it up?
The general minister Pu Chao spent a lot of effort to rescue Wang Shilang. After some discussion, the two finally determined the focus of the next stage of work.
Of course, the production work in the workshop cannot be relaxed, and more importantly, the production level of the craftsmen must be improved.
In the past, when the scale of the battle was small, it was not obvious. But during the Battle of Yecheng, as the battle became more intense, the number of empty shells and ammunition with insufficient gunpowder content increased sharply.
Originally, current firearm production lacked an industrial foundation and could only rely on labor. Therefore, controlling the production level of craftsmen was a top priority.
It can be believed that Puchao's vision in selecting people has already been to collect the most skilled apprentices that the workshop can recruit and to train them intensively.
Therefore, for the problems that arise now, we can only say that we still need to continue to expand talent recruitment channels.
In this regard, as a general minister, Pu Chao was certainly well prepared and gathered all the talents he could.
But it can only go so far.
The rest of the matter will be left to Wang Shilang to figure out a solution for.
On the one hand, it is to conduct a new round of systematic training. On the other hand, Wang Shilang has no new battles to fight recently. The wealthy families in the north are also fighting among themselves and are in a mess. They are unable to take care of Jiangzuo.
This gave Wang Shilang a long period of time to recuperate. He could stay in Jiankang peacefully and personally supervise the work of the workshop.
However, we cannot just focus on Jiankang and surrounding areas. There are also many skilled craftsmen in the Jin Dynasty. Even the newly captured cities, such as Xuzhou City, have many skilled craftsmen.
Because of their remote location, these people have not been able to enter the Jiang Workshop's field of vision.
Fortunately, Wang Shilang had already anticipated this situation and arranged these matters with a wave of his hand.
Xuzhou's side was still managed by Fu Fei, so the recruitment of craftsmen was left to Fu Fei. Of course, since Fu Fei was not from Jin after all, this kind of thing was just mentioned casually, and Wang Mi was not there.
Fu Fei had too much hope.
It's simply impossible.
Fu Fei is not that generous.
However, in recent days, skilled craftsmen from Xiangyang and Nanyang have been rushing to Jiankang City in a steady stream, and Wang Mi has received letters from them.
reported on their itinerary.
Now that we have the personnel, it’s time to start the journey to get the raw materials from Jingzhou.
The letter has been sent, and now we are waiting for the reply from the old general Huan Chong. Compared with Xiangyang and other places, the journey to Jingzhou is actually longer. There is no shortcut to take, we can only go all the way downstream along the river.
After finishing all these things, Wang Shilang could finally walk out of the general workshop and rest for a while. As the sun was rising, it was time to go home for dinner.
It’s been a long time since I was able to have a meal at home in peace and contentment. Now that the delicious food is so annoying, I haven’t even seen the shadow yet, and I have already started to salivate.
"Wang Shilang, you are fine!"
Just as Wang Mi climbed onto the horse's back, he heard a greeting from behind him. The voice was very familiar, and he must have been an old friend.
Isn't this...Wang Gong?
Such a thought just passed through my mind. When I looked back, it wasn't Wang Gong. If it wasn't him, who else could it be?
Look at that face, which is as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Even if you want to raise an army to investigate, you should put on a better face. Could it be that Wang Zhiyuan, who has no desires and desires, has fought so many victorious battles and regained so much lost land, could he still blame two people?
Of course Wang Mi would not look down on himself like this, but looking at Wang Gong's unhappy expression, it seems that this is what he meant.
"Aning, you didn't come to Jiang's workshop to see me, did you? I'm so flattered!"
Facing Wang Gong, Wang Mi's attitude was particularly cordial and natural. What other tricks could he use? Everything he could think of and do had already been performed on the day he entered the city. Now, he just needs to find himself.
, just let go of your anger.
Then let him come, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"You are still so proud, don't you think you haven't given me an explanation yet?" Wang Gong stroked his beard, not to mention how awkward it was.
Wang Zhiyuan: Explain?
What should I tell you?
"Aning, we are old friends. If you want to talk to me, you can come directly to my house, or you can send a letter and invite me to the restaurant to have a detailed discussion. What's going on here, blocking the door of Jiang's workshop?"
"Are you in a hurry?"
"You, you still want to eat?" Wang Gong was so angry at him that his beard almost flew up. If he didn't get Wang Zhenying's support, how could he be here at this moment?
He should be in the prison, or perhaps in the execution ground. In short, Wang Zhiyuan should be kicked out of his position as the commander-in-chief of Beifu as early as possible!
such a pity!
Without Wang Zhenying's support, Wang Gong alone might not be able to defeat even old man Xie An.
Wang Mi, who holds Beifu's soldiers, doesn't even want to think about it!
Wang Gong was so angry that his teeth itched when he thought of this situation. In his opinion, the world should revolve around him.
How could he, with such a great talent, still have trouble with everything?
It should be said that when Sima Yao was still there, he still had some tolerance for others. After all, at that time, there were many people who competed with him in the court, and as the uncle of the state, at most he only had some people with Sima Yao.
Just more opportunities to talk.
As for whether Sima Yao will listen or not, that is a matter for him to decide. Even if Wang Gong talks openly, it should be useless, but it is still useless.
In addition, in the later period, Sima Yao was obviously more partial to Wang Guobao, which made Wang Gong's position even more precarious.
In order to maintain a good image, Wang Gong at that time had no choice but to keep his tail between his legs.
But, it's different now.
There is no emperor in charge, Sima Dezong is just a decoration, and his sister has become the queen mother and is an absolutely powerful figure.
All the government affairs were handed over to him, Wang Gong. Most of the ministers in the court thought that this arrangement was very suitable. Until now, no one has raised many objections.
Under such a good situation, Wang Gong's mentality was very different from before. He couldn't see anyone being disrespectful to him, let alone let anyone surpass him in status.
During the time when Wang Zhiyuan was fighting abroad, it was okay to say that, after all, no matter how capable Wang Mi was, he would not jump in front of him and make him unhappy.
But now, Wang Mi is back.
It becomes a big trouble.
After waiting all day, Wang Zhiyuan didn't know if he had any decency to come to the door and admit his mistake.
In the end, Wang Gong's patience was finally worn out.
All right!
Since you don't come to me, it's okay for me to come to you.
In this Jiankang city, it is not difficult for Wang Gong to find someone, especially for a prominent figure like Wang Shilang.
Every day, many people in the city are watching the whereabouts of Wang Shilang. Even at the gate of Langya Palace, people are waiting before dawn, just to wait for Wang Shilang.
If you can hand over a name card and get Wang Shilang to take a look, you have achieved your goal.
Soon, Wang Gong found out Wang Mi's whereabouts. He couldn't help but admire what he did as soon as he returned to Jiankang City. In addition to paying a visit to Xie An, he dived into Jiang's workshop.
This is Wang Gong's innermost thoughts.
I originally thought that after returning to Jiankang, the first thing Wang Zhiyuan would do was to win over ministers and make friends.
Or at least a few days of good cultivation at home, and meeting friends is also common practice.
Unexpectedly, he didn't go to any of these places. Instead, he came to Jiang Workshop. In Wang Gong's eyes, this was not something a normal person would do.
As a result, you see, even Wang Gong followed him abnormally. Instead of enjoying a good rest, he actually stood at the door of Jiang's workshop.
Moreover, judging from Wang Mi's intentions, he did not have the intention to entertain guests.
This really makes Wang Gong very helpless.
"Why don't you go have a meal? I haven't seen you for a long time. Besides, it's time for dinner. If you don't want to spend money, you might as well follow me. We can go to my house together. The food is already ready.
of."
Still...still going to his house?
Crazy!
"All right!"
"Since you are so hungry, let's find a place to eat first and chat while eating."
Wang Mi touched his belly and expressed his agreement.
Yeah.
The atmosphere is so harmonious when chatting while eating. Even if the atmosphere is not harmonious, it will be more harmonious for the sake of good wine and good food.
However, who is treating this meal?
Why didn’t Wang Gong make it clear?
Could it be that he still expected Wang Mi to spend money?
It’s really unreasonable!
Seeing Wang Gong walking towards the high-end restaurant, waves of electricity ran through Wang Mi's heart.
ah!
That's the sound of coins leaving your pocket!
He began to regret so much that he actually suggested going to eat. If he had known that there was a possibility of having to pay a lot of money, he would rather go hungry than make a fuss about eating!
It was lunchtime, and all the seats on the first floor of the restaurant had been occupied. Even so, Wang Gong didn't care.
He took Wang Mi and walked straight to the second floor.
In fact, no one greeted Wang Shilang, but Wang Shilang followed Wang Gong in a hurry.
