The afternoon sun shines on the body and feels comfortable. The warm sun in winter is most likely to make people lazy, especially after being woken up four times by the cries of the two little guys last night, Chu Nan is now very sleep-deprived.
Lying on the recliner made by the Ministry of Works, Ah Huang lay quietly next to him. The little white dragon in the pond came up to take a look from time to time. Farther away, there was a pigeon demon snatching Lu Yi's food. The two ladies each held their arms.
A child was basking in the sun in the yard, talking about something that Chu Nan was not very interested in.
Chu Nan, who didn't want to go to work, finally decided not to go to the government office today. Guo Jia was probably still in Zuiyue Tower. With Yang Xiu here, things in the government office were much less busy. He was relieved that his life was going like this. In fact,
That's enough.
Now Chu Nan can somewhat appreciate his father-in-law's happiness. His current father-in-law basically lives a similar life, but has more time for practice every day.
The method of visualization will be very fast at the beginning, and then it will start to slow down. It is a grinding time. It is just like governing a country. You cannot think of everything in one go. If your luck is well managed, the speed of your practice will double.
And as he traveled through the three states to refine his luck, he now enjoyed the most luck in the imperial court. His cultivation speed was fast and his spiritual eyes could be opened for half an hour a day without feeling tired.
Hitomi is like this too.
In the future, as time goes by, the people's livelihood in the Central Plains will prosper at a faster and faster rate. He has discovered that although the power of heaven and earth is important in this cultivation method, the most important thing is luck.
The more luck you have, the faster you practice. Even if you don't have any talent, you can still be comparable to those with extraordinary talents, let alone those with outstanding talents like him. Maybe one day you can reach the level of Huang Di and Chi You.
Fairy.
Steal half a day's leisure.
"Lord, there is someone outside the door asking to see you." Zhou Cang came in from the door and said to Chu Nan with his fists clasped.
"Who is it?" Chu Nan sat up helplessly. If it was an unimportant person, Zhou Cang would have blocked him away. Since he came to pass the message, he must be a more important person.
Since the teacher left, I have become a little slack. Well, I blame the teacher.
"I don't know." Zhou Cang glanced at Zhen Mi hesitantly and said, "They say they are Mrs. Zhen's family."
"Oh?" Chu Nan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Did Zhen Mi's family find this place?
He didn't think about how long Zhen Mi's affairs here could be kept hidden. This kind of thing is important but not important. If Yuan Shao feels that he wants to start a war, this will be a good reason, but if Yuan Shao feels that the time has not come yet, then this matter
He would pretend he didn't see it, it was an unspoken secret between them.
But why did the Zhen family come to see you now?
Zhen Mi seemed to hear it and looked over here.
"Tell them to wait in the front hall." Chu Nan stood up, and Ah Huang also got up when he heard the master's movements.
"Here!" Zhou Cang agreed and went to take the people.
"Do you want to meet Madam?" Chu Nan turned his head, looked at Zhen Mi and said with a smile.
Zhen Mi hesitated for a moment and shook her head slightly: "If I take my body, I will inevitably bring trouble to my husband."
"It's okay to go. If there's any trouble, it won't be because of the Zhen family." Chu Nan shook his head and went straight to the main hall without forcing it.
"Sister, please come with me." Lu Lingqi sat up and hugged the child.
"This..." Zhen Mi was a little moved.
"We are in the back hall, so we won't get in the way." Although Lu Lingqi has become a mother, her behavior is still clean and decisive. After being married for such a long time, Lu Lingqi can tell whether Chu Nan wants her to go or not. Chu Nan asked this just now
, obviously he wanted Zhen Mi to go and take a look.
No matter how dissatisfied she was, that home was still the place where she grew up. Her broken bones and tendons were still connected. After being away for a long time, it was inevitable to feel homesick.
"Thank you, sister." Zhen Mi handed Chu Le to the maid and silently followed Lu Lingqi to the back hall.
In the main hall, when Chu Nan changed his clothes and came over, Zhen Yao, whom he had met once, was already waiting in the hall. When he saw Chu Nan, he quickly stood up and said, "I have met your lord."
"No need to be polite, sit down!" Chu Nan waved his hand, indicating to sit down.
The furniture in the Chu family is all modern tables and chairs newly made by the Ministry of Industry, which may be a bit uncomfortable for people who are used to sitting on straw mats, but it is really comfortable to sit on.
"Your Majesty, there are rumors that my sister-in-law is making trouble in your Majesty's house. I wonder if this is the case?" Zhen Yao chatted with Chu Nan for a few words. Seeing Chu Nan's lack of interest and a hint of impatience, Zhen Yao gritted his teeth.
, asked directly.
"Yes." Chu Nan nodded.
Zhen Yao stood up and said, "Can you please bring me back my roommate?"
"Madam is already someone else's wife. Even if I want her back, you shouldn't be the one to do it." Chu Nan looked at Zhen Yao and said with a smile.
"Then if I obey the Second Young Master's order this time, can you let him go?"
Chu Nan shook his head: "After leaving the secret realm, Madam suffered from soul separation, and she happened to be rescued by me. Later, the two of us fell in love, so we entered my Chu Mansion. Although I know her identity, Madam treats the second young master like
I have no memory at all, so let’s just erase that marriage.”
Zhen Yao looked at Chu Nan in astonishment, a little unbelievable, and then said angrily: "What you are doing is not what a gentleman would do."
"Don't be joking, when did I ever say that I am a gentleman?" Chu Nan said with some humor: "The reason why you came here is not to discuss this matter with me. Even if Yuan Xi wants to mention this matter, Yuan Shao will not agree. Let's still
It's better to bring up business matters. You are a member of my wife's natal family. If you can take care of me, I will take care of you. Don't use these tricks to ruin our friendship."
Zhen Yao was silent after hearing this. He knew that it was impossible to take Zhen Mi away, so he did have something to ask for when he mentioned this matter.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Chu Nan closed his eyes and thought: "Although the ancestors of the Zhen family have official status, they are not considered nobles. They belong to a wealthy merchant family. There are only three reasons why you are here. One is to make money, and the other is to be an official.
, the third one is what the Yuan family wants to use you to plot against me, if you don't tell me, just retreat."
If he really wanted to look at Chu Nan, he felt mixed emotions in his heart, so he silently stepped in and said, "I'll give you a wise eye."
"It is impossible to become an official. The Zhen family is based in Jizhou. Even if I dare to give, you dare not accept. If it is not a lobbyist for the Yuan family, then it can only be for money. Now Yuan Shao has tightened the trade between the two parties.
, the north-south route is almost cut off, but the Zhen family’s trade, in addition to normal grain and silk, is the largest source of wealth from trade with the Hu people in the north. Cloth and silk are okay, but the Hu people have a huge demand for dried fruits, and Jizhou can meet them.
No." Chu Nan looked at Zhen Yao and said, "Are you here for this matter?"
Zhen Yao took a deep breath, sat down again, and saluted Chu Nan: "Ling Jun's eyes."
The Zhen family actually wants to pursue an official career. Since she was a child, her younger sister has been said by the alchemists to have the appearance of a noble person. She thought it was the foundation for the Zhen family's rise. The Zhen family's previous idea was to let Zhen Mi marry Yuan Shang. After all, Yuan Shang is still here.
Everyone can see the status of the Yuan family and Yuan Shao's love for this son. If he can marry Yuan Shang, it seems to be in line with the alchemist's words.
Unfortunately, Yuan Shao was not too satisfied with the marriage with the Zhen family. In the end, Zhen Mi was promised to Yuan Xi, and the status of the Zhen family was not improved because of this marriage.
She wanted to devote all her efforts to supporting Yuan Xi, but before she could start, Zhen Mi got separated from Yuan Xi in the secret realm.
After some inquiring and questioning about the situation at that time, the Zhen family knew that Zhen Mi was brought home by Chu Nan. Zhen Yao would not believe it if you said you did nothing.
And what the Zhen family could find out, it was impossible for the Yuan family not to find out, but the Yuan family ignored this matter. Yuan Xi changed hands and was arranged to have another marriage, and Zhen Mi seemed to have been forgotten.
The Zhen family's official career in Jizhou was naturally over.
Although the official career was over, life was still going on. The Zhen family had become a wealthy businessman by traveling to and from the Central Plains and grasslands. Although it was difficult to take this opportunity to join the scholarly ranks, they would not decline.
However, in order to form an alliance, Yuan Shao cut off trade with the Central Plains, and the Zhen family's supply of goods was reduced by half. And if the barbarians in the north were no longer able to provide supplies, their connections in the north would also be gone.
It was precisely for this reason that Zhen Yao decided to personally visit the Central Plains to discuss the matter with Chu Nan.
I wanted to use the matter of my sister to make the other party feel a little ashamed, so that I could take the initiative in the subsequent negotiations.
However, he met Chu Nan.
I want your sister, but if you want to take advantage of me, that won't work.
Zhen Yao felt very hurt by the other party's unstinting attitude.
"The trade routes between the Central Plains and Hebei have been cut off. Although the Zhen family has a lot of wealth and is as rich as the country, it will not affect Yuan Shao's decision." Chu Nan looked at Zhen Yao and said solemnly.
"I know that the Black Mountain Army is under your control." Zhen Yao hesitated for a moment and said to Chu Nan.
When Chu Nan went to the Black Mountain Army, Xin Ping was directly killed by Chu Nan. Later, there was no news about the Black Mountain Army. It was as if the entire Taihang Mountains were occupied by monsters.
However, various signs later showed that the Black Mountain Army was still alive and well, and had reached a cooperative relationship with the monsters in the mountains.
Although I don't know how it was achieved, it's not difficult to guess after thinking about Chu Nan's past methods.
"Black Mountain Army...you want to go to Hanoi?" Chu Nan squinted at Zhen Yao. In order to make money, this businessman can really use his insight to the limit.
"It's not Hanoi, but go to the party and Hedong area to ask for your generous help." Zhen Yao saluted Chu Nan.
Chu Nan looked at him silently and did not answer immediately. After a long time, Zhen Yao was anxious and said, "What are the benefits of this officer?"
"?"
Zhen Yao looked at Chu Nan blankly, my sister is yours, why don't you talk to me about the benefits?
"In business, if I help you, I am taking care of my wife's favor. Otherwise, your Zhen family's affairs will have nothing to do with me. But I can't help you in vain." Chu Nan looked at Zhen Yao and said.
"Please make it clear that as long as the Zhen family can do it, we will do whatever it takes!" Zhen Yao understood and bowed quickly.
"War horses, the Chamber of Commerce here will prepare enough goods for you, but the imperial court also needs enough war horses." Chu Nan looked at Zhen Yao and said: "In addition, I will send people to take over the land east of Hedong. In the future, we will cooperate with the Zhen family's
Trade is carried out in the east of the river."
After Zhen Yao calculated silently for a moment, he saluted Chu Nan again and said, "Thank you so much, your Majesty."
"Do you want to meet Madam?" Chu Nan stood up. The business was settled and we could talk about family ties.
After Zhen Yao hesitated for a moment, he nodded silently: "Thank you for your help!"
