"Xiaorou sent someone to deliver a letter this morning, telling me to hand it over to my brother-in-law as soon as possible."
Guan Zhuzi took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Jin Feng.
"So anxious?"
Jin Feng frowned and quickly took the envelope.
This place is very close to Jinchuan Pier. Guan Xiaorou sent someone to deliver the letter to Guan Zhuzi, explaining that she wanted Jin Feng to know the contents of the letter as soon as possible.
There was only a small note in the envelope, which was a message sent by Zhang Liang from the grassland to Xihewan.
The content of the note was very simple, it just briefly described the previous battle and reported to Jin Feng that he was about to arrive at Yuguan City.
When he saw that the Northern Expeditionary Army did not use hot air balloons or grenades and fought head-on with the Eastern Barbarians in heavy rain, Jin Feng punched the railing in front of him in excitement.
"Hahaha, the overall situation has been decided!"
"What are you so happy about?"
Ninth Princess smiled and took the note from Jin Feng's hand.
After a while, an unconcealable joy appeared on his face.
Although she knew about the various backup plans Jin Feng had prepared for the Northern Expeditionary Army, she was still worried before, feeling that the number of the Northern Expeditionary Army was too small.
But after this battle, she was completely relieved.
Jin Feng and Ninth Princess were happy, but Guan Zhuzhu, who was standing aside, looked downcast.
He saw the intimate behavior of Ninth Princess and Jin Feng, as well as the Ninth Princess' belly.
Guan Zhuzhu had no objection to Jin Feng taking concubines, but when Jin Feng had a child, he had to be concerned.
During the feudal period, the eldest son had extraordinary significance.
Guan Xiaorou is Jin Feng's first wife. It would be perfect if she gave birth to Jin Feng's first child.
However, Guan Xiaorou has been married to Jin Feng for more than a year, and there is no movement in her stomach. Instead, the Ninth Princess has come from behind. This makes Guan Zhuzi very worried that the Ninth Princess will threaten Guan Xiaorou's status.
A lot of things have happened in the salt mine and salt factory recently. Guan Zhuzhu originally had many things to say to Jin Feng, but at this time he had no idea at all.
He hugged his fists at Jin Feng and said, "Brother-in-law, the letter has been delivered. I'm going back first."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, brother!" Jin Feng reached out and patted Guan Zhuzhu's shoulder.
Guan Zhuzi's life is now many times better than before, but his face is darker and rougher than before, indicating that he has been busy recently.
This is indeed the case. Guan Zhuzi has changed a lot since he took charge of the salt mine. He has managed the salt mine and the two newly opened salt plants in an orderly manner.
Jin Feng also recognized this uncle from the bottom of his heart.
If it were before, Guan Zhuzi would definitely have said some kind words, but now he didn't say anything, just shook his head and left.
He didn't say a word to the Ninth Princess from the beginning to the end.
"Wu Yang, my eldest brother is a rough man and doesn't know the rules very well. Don't be as knowledgeable as him."
Jin Feng was a little worried that Princess Ninth would be angry, so he smiled and rubbed her hair.
"Are I such a narrow-minded person? Your hair has been messed up!"
The Ninth Princess opened Jin Feng's hand and looked around.
Qin'er, the boatman and others all avoided it with a wink.
The fire of gossip was rising in Da Liu's eyes, but when he saw Qin'er's murderous look, he had no choice but to leave in anger.
"Husband, you haven't told sister Xiaorou about the child yet?" Ninth Princess asked.
"Not yet." Jin Feng answered with his head lowered.
No one knew better than him how much Guan Xiaorou valued her first child. After the Ninth Princess became pregnant, Jin Feng had been struggling with whether to tell Guan Xiaorou.
I've been struggling and struggling like this, and here we are now.
The Ninth Princess's belly had never been obvious before, and not many people could see her, so not many people knew that the Ninth Princess was pregnant.
Even if someone knew about it, no one would dare to spread gossip about Jin Feng and Ninth Princess.
So until now, Guan Xiaorou and Tang Xiaobei still don't know about this matter.
"If you didn't say it, don't say it...I'm going to change into looser clothes."
In fact, the Ninth Princess was a little unsure about this matter.
Returning to the cabin, Pearl was immediately asked to find her loosest clothes.
Concubine Qing was sitting at the table sewing small clothes for her unborn child. When she saw the Ninth Princess coming in, she put down her sewing and asked, "What did that man do just now?"
"He manages the salt factory for his husband." Ninth Princess replied.
"The salt factory is of great importance. Jin Feng should trust him very much, right?" Concubine Qing asked, "What is their relationship?"
"That person is Guan Xiaorou's brother, his name is Guan Zhuzhu. He is a real person." Ninth Princess replied.
"Guan Xiaorou's brother, no wonder he is shaming you. He seems to have a strong opinion of you." Concubine Qing nodded.
Although she didn't go to the deck just now, she saw what happened in the cabin.
After fighting in the harem for half her life, Concubine Qing was the most sensitive to this kind of thing.
Immediately, he could see a lot of things from Guan Zhuzhu's eyes and movements.
"Concubine, you won't find someone to take revenge on him, right?" The Ninth Princess turned around and said, "He is just a rough man. Concubine, you don't want to be like him."
"What are you talking about? In your mind, is my mother such a narrow-minded person?"
Concubine Qing slapped the Ninth Princess angrily: "I just feel sorry for you. If your father granted me a marriage, even if Jin Feng didn't divorce his wife, you would still be the proper wife of the wife. But in the end, you went there stupidly."
You asked Guan Xiaorou for the title of princess, and you blocked your own way!"
"Mother, what's the use of a title?" said the Ninth Princess: "Isn't the queen's status noble? Wasn't she ruthlessly thrown into the cold palace by her father?
In fact, when I married my husband, besides him as a person, I also liked the atmosphere here in Jinchuan.
Take the brother of the Guan family just now, I actually quite like his straightforward character, at least it is much better than those of the royal relatives in the court.
Those people clearly want you to die, but the smiles on their faces are prettier than flowers, which is disgusting. They are not as good as Brother Guan, who puts everything on his face."
"You, you, I'm too lazy to talk about you!" Concubine Qing tapped Princess Ninth's forehead and picked up the needle and thread again.
The salt factory is not far from Jinchuan Pier. When the Ninth Princess changed her clothes and came out again, she could already see Jinchuan Pier in the distance.
Just as Jin Feng guessed, many people gathered on the pier at this time, and the person standing at the front was none other than Guan Xiaorou and Tang Xiaobei.
For some reason, the Ninth Princess suddenly became nervous. She didn't even notice when Jin Feng appeared behind her. It wasn't until Jin Feng reached out to hold her hand that she regained consciousness.
"Husband, what do you think if sister Xiaorou doesn't like me?"
The Ninth Princess turned to look at Jin Feng, sweating on the tip of her nose because of her nervousness.
"It's not like you don't know Xiaorou, she can't."
Jin Feng stretched out his hand to wipe away the sweat on the tip of Ninth Princess's nose and comforted her with a smile.
Having known Princess Ninth for so long, this was the first time that Jin Feng was so nervous when he saw her.
I felt a little funny and a little touched.
The ninth princess is so nervous, which shows that she really cares about herself.
After all, she was a veteran who had been trained in the court. Seeing the pier getting closer and closer, Princess Ninth took a deep breath and regained her usual calmness.
Jin Feng looked at the familiar dock with extremely complicated eyes.
