After the next few days, Su Xiangning prepared her street stall. She didn't want to go out and play Qu, so she moved out from the second floor of Baibaozhai, found a small courtyard in the quiet alley behind Yanglou Street, and prepared various matters for opening with her maid Qingguo.

Chen Yu felt wronged for a long time and was preparing to turn the first floor of Baibaozhai into pieces and use it to serve as a pawn for her. But it was not good to live under someone else's roof. Su Xiangning felt that she would have to live independently sooner or later, so she politely declined her good intentions.

The business was good on the day of opening, and the shopkeepers around the shops all supported the shops, and the level of tofu has improved a lot, which has won a lot of praise. Su Xiangning also left a bowl to wait. However, most of the time Cao Hua came was in twilight. The table was collected, and there was only a small stall left. A woman in a floral dress in a coarse cloth stood there and looked around.

Cao Hua gritted his teeth and ate a bowl of tofu, but it was unexpectedly good after one bite. Then he paid Su Xiangning and refused. However, Cao Hua was a businessman, and even if he opened a business and asked for a lottery, he would have to pay. After a while, he knew each other, so he helped her move a few tables back to the alley.

In addition to preparing jewelry and location selection for new stores, Cao Hua's own business also needs to consider firearms. The iron tools in this era are not strong enough and better steel is needed to make muskets or even cannons, but this is obviously a big job. It is impossible to produce large-scale products without a few years of construction.

The current position is also destined to be impossible to ask the Ministry of Revenue for the Ministry of Works to establish projects, and it can only be handed over to the court after it has achieved results. After earning the first pot of gold, he arranged for Liu Laosi to sell a small workshop and pick a few smart men to experiment in it.

He used to be in jewelry business and often came into contact with precious metals. He naturally had to learn basic materials, but getting started is far more troublesome than making jewelry. He had to burn silver for a long time to experiment. As for chemical engineering, he had no contact with it, so he could only use daily experience to reversely refer to it. Soap high-level wine and other things don't make money, but if it can be made, it can be considered as a benefit for the people.

After arranging these things every day, it was getting darker when he returned to the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, but the two little maids who listened to storytelling were waiting for him. He could not be a broken-out dog, so he continued to talk to them about Water Margin in the stone pavilion.

Xie Yijun's complexion is getting better and better, but apart from evaluating the characters in the book, he doesn't tell him anything else. He goes back to his room to sleep at the time of the day, and he no longer breaks a branch to make a sword to practice martial arts.

Occasionally, when he came back early, Xie Yijun immediately stopped and stared at him cautiously, as if he was afraid that he would find a flaw in his moves and would suffer a loss in the future. He actually wanted to learn how to use a sword, but when he saw that Xie Yijun was unwilling, he had to give up.

The Dragon Boat Festival is here, and there is still one month before the Queen Mother's birthday. The scenery in the city is intoxicating and many people go out for fun. On the Dragon Boat Festival, the people go out to enjoy the scenery. Princess Yong'an has not been having fun for a long time. The palace arranged for the Black Feather Guard to escort the people. Naturally, Cao Hua is the one who accompanys the game.

Xue Jiuquan meant that Princess Yong'an had a straightforward personality and would definitely talk to him, and just take good care of her. The profound meaning was not mentioned.

He only treated it as an ordinary companionship guard and did not take it seriously. It was rare to go out of the city to visit once. He also specially prepared something to let Xie Yijun hide in the carriage and go out for a walk. After all, it is also good for recuperating from bed for a long time to go out for resting.

On the morning of that day, Princess Yong'an's carriage set off from the royal palace, Cao Hua's carriage was waiting at Yiqiu Gate, and then went to Jinmingchi outside the city through the Shuntian Gate of Xicheng.

There are many people who go out of the city to visit, with countless swings and boats in the winding ponds of the golden ponds, wine tourists take small boats, scholars set up tents to enjoy. The green and green fields are full of flowers, the horses are singing among the thin willows, and the orioles are singing and fragrant trees. To put it simply, it is like a fool who is crowded with people.

In the warm sun and light breeze, a woman in a red dress picked up the curtains and looked at the green fields in the suburbs of the city from the white horse carving car. Outside the car were all black-armored soldiers, pressing the official sword in his hand and escorting his left and right silently.

Inside the carriage, Cao Hua was wearing a white scholar's robe, with a long sword hanging on the waist and leaning against the soft couch, holding a wine glass in his hand and looking unrestrained.

"Xie Daxia, why do you see so trance?"

After posing for a long time, Leng Ao's posture made him feel a little painful, so he turned his back in a different direction.

Xie Yijun frowned slightly and stared at the curtain of the car: "It's really prosperous here. If I didn't come to Bianjing, I would never have thought that the war outside would be so fierce that the capital could be so peaceful."

Cao Hua leaned over and looked at it: "You have never seen a really prosperous scene before, there are only a few people."

Compared with the major scenic spots during the festivals before, these ten thousand people are really a slim view of the big witch when they go out for a trip.

Xie Yijun didn't know what she meant, so she put down the vehicle and looked at him: "When are you going to let me go?"

Her injuries have not healed, but it has not affected her riding a horse. She has already followed the chassis out of the city. Finding a hidden place to leave is the most appropriate choice. Today, she is willing to go out with Cao Hua, which is also intimate.

Cao Hua laughed and poured her a glass of sake and handed it over: "I'm just in a hurry to leave?"

Xie Yijun didn't take the wine glass, but just looked at those eyes: "I'll leave sooner or later."

Silence in the carriage.

"I met again after I left, I don't know what the scene was. Then I had the opportunity to sit together and chat like this."

"You and I are not all the people. When you get out of your family and return to the field that day, or if I retire from the world, you may become friends, but not now."

Xie Yijun has many friends and many friends who have made friends with each other. Cao Hua's identity is destined to be a close friend. Instead of dragging on like this, it is better to cut the mess quickly.

Cao Hua sighed, thought for a long time, and said seriously: "Don't worry, as the saying goes, hurt your muscles and bones for a hundred days, you have to stay for at least half a year and wait for me to finish telling the four masterpieces. The story must have a beginning and an end."

"Four Great Classics?"

"Yes, Water Margin is the first book, and after the four great classics, there are classic masterpieces such as the Legend of White Snake, Liang Zhu, and Jin Ping Mei..."

"If the injury is healed, you can't stop me."

Xie Yijun didn't understand and simply refused to listen and said seriously.

Seeing that it was so soft, Cao Hua clapped his palms lightly.

Slap!

The team of more than a hundred people stopped immediately, and the Black Feather Guard pressed his official sword in his hand and was meticulously tidied.

The carriage and horse in the back stopped urgently for fear of collision. Princess Yong'an in the front staggered and almost knocked over the teacup in her hand. Looking back, she saw nothing unusual.

Pause for a little.

Cao Hua clapped his hands again, everything was the same, the convoy continued to move forward, and no one dared to say anything more, as if nothing had happened.

This is a naked threat.

Xie Yijun was immediately angry and stared at the man in white in front of him, his fingers tightly clenched.

"You can't leave until the injury is healed, I said."

Cao Hua leaned against the soft couch, his expression was dull.

In fact, you don’t want to leave after your injury. If you can beat a bodyguard, you can find someone like this. "Nan Yijun Bei Cao Hua" is still a thief. If you put it back, it would not cause trouble for yourself. Of course, for the sake of life safety, this cannot be said.

Xie Yijun gritted her teeth, but she was injured and could not move. She could only turn her head and stop talking.

--------

While the convoy was heading to Jin Mingchi, another small thing was happening quietly outside the Diankuisi on Yonglu Street.

Since Chen Jingliu's words at the Yanglou meeting and Cao Hua's angrily made her angry, the two of them have been circulating in the market, and all kinds of rumors have spread. These things are naturally heard by those who are interested, such as Dong Chao, who works in the Diankui Si Eagle Claw Room.

It is actually difficult for the crouching tiger and hidden dragon in the Diankui Si to make a name for themselves. Dong Chao has no background in martial arts, and has been watching the door and sweeping the floor outside the Marquis' Mansion for many years.

When Dong Chao learned about Cao Hua and Chen Jingliu, he discussed with his friend Xue Ba and secretly investigated it. As a result, he learned from the neighbors that Chen Qingqiu wanted to marry Chen Jingliu to Lin Chong.

In this era, marriage was nothing more than the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. In addition, Chen Qingqiu was harmed by Cao Hua again. Dong Chao felt that Chen Jingliu had never admitted her relationship with Cao Hua because of this reason.

After learning the news, Dong Chao naturally smelled the opportunity. With the intention of showing his kindness to his superiors, he went to find Lin Chong once. Dong Chao knew that Lady Lin was harmed by Gao Yanei, but Lin Chong didn't dare to do anything. If Cao Hua hadn't killed Gao Yanei with one sword and let Gao Qiu restrain himself, Lin Chong would have died silently long ago.

Dong Chao mentioned the matter of Madam Lin, and wanted to scare Lin Chong. After all, even Gao Yanei couldn't afford to offend Cao Taisui. He thought that just a few words would make Lin Chong retreat, but he didn't expect to anger Lin Chong to fight for it.

Dong Chao naturally felt resentful when he didn't eat toast, but after thinking about it, he had a plan.

In this era, the two of them were just small people.

Lin Chong really couldn't afford to offend Cao Taisui. With Chen Qingqiu's advice before leaving, he did not believe Dong Chao. He went to Shiquan Lane to ask several times. Chen Jingliu has not walked out of the gate in recent days, but has only hid in the yard to write and draw, ignoring the rumors outside, and did not say that he was bullied by Cao Hua. Lin Chong felt relieved.

Lin Chong was in charge of serving the country and being a coach among the imperial guards was really a talent. He went to the Imperial Boxing Hall to find his master Zhou Tong several times, but Zhou Tong had a high status in the world and was upright, but he was unsuccessful in the officialdom for life and could not help. He wanted Chen Jingliu to mention a few words in front of Cao Hua, but now he was not able to speak up these rumors.

At this moment, a spy from the Eagle Claw Room suddenly found Lin Chong and said that Cao Hua asked him to go to Diankuisi to discuss matters.

With Chen Qingqiu's words first, it was a spy from the Eagle Claw Room who was sent to the news. Lin Chong believed it without doubt and immediately rushed to Diankuisi.

It was the Dragon Boat Festival, and there were few people in the Diankuisi, and there were very few people on duty at the Heiyuwei Street.

Lin Chong drove his horse and stopped outside the yamen, tidied up his clothes and entered the gate. A little deacon ran over to greet him, then pointed to a building behind him and asked him to go there and wait.

Dian Kuisi is known as the Hall of Yama. No one dares to come in to visit. Lin Chong has never been there. He walked around the huge yamen and finally came to the book building he was referring to, with the door open.

Lin Chong entered it, and the house was surrounded by bookshelf, filled with various files, and the cover was full of major cases that shocked the court and the public and the list of certain kings and princes.

Lin Chong was suddenly frightened. This was the important place of Dian Kuisi. How dare he break in for no reason. When he was about to turn around, he heard the sound of boots and footsteps. More than ten Eagle Clawed Spy jumped out from behind the courtyard wall and came in from outside. When Lin Chong looked at it, he was not someone else, but he had contact with Dong Chao.

"Lin Chong, you have no summons, and you dare to trespass the case library. Do you know what crime should you be? You are holding a sharp weapon in your hand. Could it be that you came to assassinate the governor? No wonder you were wandering outside the mansion with weapons a few days ago, and you must have evil intentions!"

Lin Chong was immediately panicked: "Mr. Dong, you misunderstood. A minor official just summoned me. It was Mr. Cao who asked me to come here!"

"Bold." Dong Chao said coldly: "The governor accompanied the princess out of the city to play, how could he invite you? Do you have a letter invitation?"

Cao Taisui asked someone to come to Diankuisi, what invitations would be needed? If you don’t come once, the second time would be the Black Feather Guard come to invite him.

Lin Chong's face turned pale. It was a death sentence for trespassing into the case library, and it was also a death sentence for fighting against Dian Kuisi. He got into a trap.

"Dong Chao, why did you harm me?"

Lin Chong's face was furious and his fists were clenched.

Dong Chao held the long sword and sneered: "I dare to bite people randomly until I die, take it down!"

"promise!"

More than a dozen Eagle Clawed Spy stepped forward and pressed Lin Chong's five-flowered ties.

"I, Lin Chong, have never trespassed the case library. Dong Chao, you will harm me!"

Lin Chong was pressed to the ground, his throat was like a wild beast roaring, staring at Dong Chao.

Dong Chao's eyes were joking: "Drag it down, lock it in the dungeon, and wait for the governor to deal with it."

Lin Chong was not stupid. Thinking of the recent rumors about his last conversation with Dong Chao, he suddenly reacted, thinking that it was Cao Taisui who suspected that he had an affair with Chen Jingliu, and explained anxiously: "I am unfair, and I have nothing to do with Jingliu Qingqing..."

"You keep these words and say them to the governor, and Thaksin will be useful."

Dong Chao curled his lips and said that things would be almost done to achieve this.

When Cao Hua comes back in the afternoon, he will see what Cao Hua means. If he just flatters him by chance, he will naturally have to use it. Even if he is useless to slap his horse's legs, Cao Hua's mercifulness in recent days will be nothing more than a scolding. He has already swept the floor outside the Marquis of Wu'an, and he can be demoted there again.
Chapter completed!
