Xiang Xiaoqiang thought for a while, and there was only one possibility. Before Zheng Yucong attended the press conference, the "relevant departments" had already communicated with her in advance and knew what she and she had experienced in Beiqing, and then "said hello" to her.
", asking her not to mention the two thousand prisoners of war who died in Beiqing.
Why? Xiang Xiaoqiang thought about it again. It is estimated that only the first batch of Ming army prisoners of war came back, and three-quarters of them are still in their hands. If I reveal this early now, I am afraid that I will be embarrassed in advance.
, three batches of prisoners of war should return home after the impact. When all the prisoners of war come back, and the families of those Qing army prisoners of war who settled in the Ming Dynasty also come over, they should all be brought out at once, and there will be a general outbreak.
Talking about it a month later will always be less convincing than talking about it right after you come back, and it may give people the feeling of "retracting your confession." But for the sake of the safe return of the remaining thousands of Ming army prisoners of war, this is secondary.
.And it would not be a big problem if the incident was revealed a month later. No one would suspect that Ming Fang deliberately spread rumors and poured dirty water on Beiqing.
Don't tell the truth. Even if Ming Dynasty really spreads rumors about Beiqing, and spreads rumors ten times bigger, the outside world will generally be inclined to believe it. This is just like "Wolf Cried Wolf". A person is used to telling lies, even if he occasionally tells lies.
Even if he is innocent once, no one will believe him anymore. Even if he keeps shouting that people don't believe him and discriminate against him, they are asking for it.
All this is speculation. In order to seek confirmation, Xiang Xiaoqiang picked up the phone and called the Yanping Palace, hoping to ask Zheng Yucong.
Zheng Yucong was not there, so the operator of the Yanping Palace transferred the call to Zheng Gongyin.
When Zheng Gongyin heard that it was Xiang Xiaoqiang, he was very affectionate. "Tingzhi" is long and "Tingzhi" is short. Before Xiang Xiaoqiang opened his mouth to ask, he enthusiastically answered on his behalf, saying that our Cong Cong wanted to stand up for him at noon.
You invited me over for dinner, but you couldn't find anyone to support you. You were so disappointed that after dinner, you took her two younger sisters to go shopping...
Shopping... I guess I took a limousine again, first drove around the city a few times to get rid of the paparazzi, and then went to an upper-class club like the one on the top floor of Liangyou Department Store to go shopping.
Zheng Gongyin no longer has the airs of a prince, but Xiang Xiaoqiang is very uncomfortable with it. The way he talks to her sounds like he is talking to his unmarried son-in-law.
However, he understood immediately.
"That's right... Hahaha," it was obvious that Zheng Gongyin smiled like a flower on the other end of the phone, "Your call came at the right time. If you don't call me, I will have to call you... That's what...
…Those three mines you told me about in early July…”
Xiang Xiaoqiang suddenly realized, no wonder this old man was so affectionate and dared to show his love for money. It had been more than a month since he had mentioned the mine incident, and Xiang Xiaoqiang had forgotten about it even if he didn't mention it.
When Zheng Gongyin said this, he lowered his voice and said with a smile:
"...The exploration results have come out..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and said:
"My lord, what's the result?"
"Not bad, not bad..." Zheng Gongyin was so happy that he couldn't say anything else. He just kept smiling and said, "It's not bad...don't tell me, it's really not bad..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang also snickered. If Zheng Gongyin, a super rich man, could succeed like this, the three mines might be better than he expected. Zheng Gongyin also hurriedly asked Xiang Xiaoqiang how to give him the agreed 2 million Mingyang.
Cash return
It was transferred to a certain account. In addition, it was agreed that each mine would give 15% of the shares, so Xiang Xiaoqiang would also be a shareholder of Zheng Mining Company. Zheng Gongyin kept asking Xiang Xiaoqiang to go over now to discuss how to follow up.
Cooperative mining.
In addition, Zheng Gongyin also said that the two of them should have a good chat. What to talk about? Zheng Gongyin said with a smile, "Let's talk about your affairs."
Xiang Xiaoqiang understood, and was secretly happy that Zheng Gongyin finally couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to propose marriage on his daughter's behalf.
...I don’t know whether Zheng Yucong asked her father to do this, or whether the father made his own decision. It should be the latter. The relationship between Zheng Yucong and her father is not very harmonious at the moment, or it can be said that it is "unilaterally not harmonious."
Because although Zheng Yucong is not very popular now, Zheng Gongyin is already
From time to time, she turns to please her daughter. Especially after discovering that Xiang Xiaoqiang is a "big gold mine", there is no doubt that she wants to use her daughter to tie Xiang Xiaoqiang to the Zheng family's profit chariot. It is estimated that now
Zheng Gongyin was more active in bringing together Xiang Xiaoqiang and Zheng Yucong than the two of them themselves.
But Xiang Xiaoqiang is hesitant now. There is still more than a month to go before the war, and time is tight. Xiang Xiaoqiang's People's Guard is the main attacker. This month will be very busy, and there will definitely be no room for a happy event.
However... there is no room for happy events before the war begins, and it will be even less tolerated after the war begins. I don't know how long this war will last. If it really drags on for a few years, it will become like a Soviet-German war...
Tangled, really confused.
Although Zheng Gongyin has a high status, he is an irrelevant figure, and the war plan is still kept secret from him. In other words, he does not know that the Ming and Qing war will start in more than a month. It is not even easy to explain to him now.
Xiang Xiaoqiang hesitated for a moment and agreed to go over for dinner tonight. Zheng Kyongyin agreed repeatedly with a smile. Then, Xiang Xiaoqiang remembered the purpose of his call and asked Zheng Kyongyin.
When Zheng Gongyin mentioned this, he became very angry. Zheng Yucong had already told her family about her experiences in Beiqing. Zheng Gongyin was so angry when she heard that her daughter was so angry that she could not tell her at the press conference yet.
, also complained endlessly.
"Oh, but what they said makes sense," Zheng Gongyin sighed. "We still have thousands of people who haven't come back. It's better to avoid making trouble and bear with them for the time being. When all the thousands of us people come back, it's not what we want to do."
Say what you say. When the time comes, we will invite the media from all over the world, let thousands of brothers strip naked in front of the camera, and hold a scar exhibition, so as to add trouble to that boy Guangwu and prevent him from sleeping well..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang was so shocked by this prince that he was speechless for a long time. After a while, he asked:
"Your Majesty, who is the 'person' you are talking about?"
"Who else could it be? Security personnel, people from Dongchang! It seems that Shen Rongxuan means..."
Nodding to Xiaoqiang, Shen Rongxuan should have made the right choice this time. If he had followed his own temper and told everything at the press conference on the day he came back. In that case, the Ming and Qing parties would probably have turned against each other in advance, and the remaining
If the prisoners of war return home, there will likely be setbacks.
…
That night, Xiang Xiaoqiang drove to Yanping Palace for a family dinner.
The family banquet was not large, with only one table, but the standard was quite high. There were no outsiders, but the whole Zheng family was seated. In addition to Zheng Gongyin, Zheng Yucong and his daughter, there were also Zheng Yucong's brother Zheng Yutang, Zheng Yucong's sisters, and Zheng Gongyin.
The eldest concubine is Zheng Yutang’s biological mother and Zheng Yucong’s nominal mother.
During the meal, the whole family enjoyed themselves happily, served by the pavilion and waterside pavilion, playing music, playing and singing.
Zheng Yucong's face was red from beginning to end, she lowered her head and smiled without saying a word. I guess this crazy girl has never been so shy in her whole life. Zheng Gongyin and Xiang Xiaoqiang sat next to each other, patting him while they were having a meal, laughing and chatting, so affectionate. Although
The marriage between the two was not made clear, but everyone in the family seems to have understood it.
Zheng Yutang is also "Brother Xiang" who is longer than "Brother Xiang" and is very close to her. She keeps toasting to Xiang Xiaoqiang on behalf of her sister.
Zheng Yucong's sisters, the oldest is seventeen or eighteen years old and the youngest is twelve or thirteen, but they all seem to understand something. They are all smiling and blushing, eating with their heads down, and talking to each other from time to time.
Whispering, mischievous eyes kept jumping back and forth on the faces of Xiang Xiaoqiang and Zheng Yucong.
…
After the meal, the hostess, Concubine Yanping, played a movie for everyone. The whole family went to the back to watch with a smile. The two sisters coquettishly dragged Zheng Yucong to the back, leaving Zheng Gongyin and Xiang Xiaoqiang alone.
Zheng Gongyin took Xiang Xiaoqiang's arm affectionately, pulled him into a small living room, asked the maid to serve tea, and started talking about business.
Xiang Xiaoqiang felt very embarrassed, because now he was pursuing Zhu Yourong and Shi Shi Ge Ge at the same time. Fortunately, Shi Shi Ge Ge, after all, she knew everything and was mentally prepared. The key was Zhu You Rong, she not only loved her deeply
She was worried about herself, and she didn't even know about her relationship with Zheng Yucong and Shi Shigege, so she was unprepared. It was really tricky to suddenly enter into marriage discussions with one of them before the relationship between these confidantes was settled.
Zheng Gongyin finally made it clear with laughter and looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang expectantly.
Xiang Xiaoqiang naturally put on an overjoyed expression, with a look of happiness on his face, indicating that the prince could not despise Xiang's low status and condescend to betroth the princess to Xiang. This was really Xiang's blessing in his previous life...
But after a few words, Xiang Xiaoqiang felt that he couldn't say no at this time.
He looked at Zheng Gongyin with a smile on his face, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to say:
"Then what... Your Majesty... I haven't been in Ming Dynasty for a long time, but I still heard that there is an unwritten custom in Ming Dynasty... that is... when a man comes to propose marriage, the woman's family has to ask a question... Well, that's it
…”
Zheng Gongyin laughed loudly, patted Xiang Xiaoqiang's arm and said with a smile:
"That's right... I know, I know... Isn't it just a matter of a few? Hahaha... Don't tell me, I really have to guess... If someone else had such a high status and such a bright future like yours,
, I have to guess more than a dozen... But I know that you stand up for me. With your character, I know that you will definitely not exceed five! How about it, did you guess it right? Five, ha.
Ha ha……"
Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned and looked at Zheng Gongyin blankly, his mind was confused for a while.
Seeing his reaction, Zheng Gongyin was even more proud. She laughed, leaned over again, leaned into Xiang Xiaoqiang's ear and whispered:
"How's it going? You're right? I agree... In fact, compared with others, five is really not many, but these five are good... Hey, especially one of them is calm, I am also relieved, Cong Cong is also
Don’t worry, if you say something like that, even if you want to get involved with women in the future, you have to think about who is at home...ah? Haha, just kidding, just kidding..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang felt sweat on his back as he listened to the old man's shocking words:
When did this old man know his "ultimate goal"? He knew it so clearly!
