Chapter 163: The bridal chamber again(2/2)
Xiao Fan looked at him and saw a woman standing pretty, but the coarse hairpin skirt still could not cover her graceful curves. Her cold eyes were like a silent volcano. The silence and coldness seemed to contain the erupting magma. She was staring at him tightly, and the resentment and joy in her eyes were intertwined into a complex wave of water, which made people's hearts tremble.
Xiao Fan was surprised and said, "Ms. Chen?"
"Your Taifeng rice shop is too small. If you can't do this, you have to develop it." Xiao Fan picked up the tea and sipped it slowly. His gentle and calm movements faintly revealed his dignified official power.
Chen Ying'er raised her eyes and looked at him deeply, sighed softly, lowered her eyelids, and said quietly: "Yes, Lord Xiao."
Xiao Fan smiled bitterly: "Miss Chen, the Chen family is kind to me. You don't have to call me so politely, I can't afford to be..."
Chen Ying'er curled her lips and smiled bitterly: "You were the son-in-law and I was the rich lady. Now that time has changed, the feng shui has changed. You are an official, and I am a civilian. If you don't call you an adult, what should you call you?"
Chen Ying'er looked up again and looked at Xiao Fan's handsome face deeply. This man, I should have called you husband! God's will and good fortune make people, why is that...
Xiao Fan coughed a few times and avoided Chen Ying'er's hot gaze.
When he left the Chen family with a smile and laughed to the sky, he didn't plan to go back. He could only keep all the right and wrongs in his memory, but he was unwilling to take it out to hurt each other again. Even if the reunion with her was an opportunity, he would not have to connect this opportunity with the love between men and women. That was too complicated, and Xiao Fan was not used to dealing with too complicated emotional issues.
After coughing a few times, Xiao Fan changed the topic at the right time: "Ms. Chen, you can consider expanding the rice shop, and the scope of your business does not have to be limited to rice and wheat. Why not expand it into a business? Not only do you trade southern rice and northern wheat, but you can also engage in other businesses, such as the porcelain, silk, northern medicinal materials, fur, etc. in the north and south, and communicate with each other..."
Chen Ying'er sighed lightly, temporarily suppressing the bitterness and bitterness of her heart, and corrected her attitude: "My sir, is Taifeng Rice Store expanded into a business? So is the relationship between the civilian girl and the Jinyiwei a cooperative relationship or a subordinate relationship?"
Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Cooperation is of course a cooperative relationship. No matter how big your business develops, we are just a cooperative relationship. Jinyiwei will not take your business as your own. You don't have to worry about this."
Chen Ying'er looked directly at Xiao Fan and said, "I'm afraid that the adults are so enthusiastic about the Chen family's business, it's not just a heart for repaying their kindness? Why don't you tell me what you want to achieve? How can the Chen family's business develop to suit the adults' wishes in the future?"
Xiao Fan curled his smile and said seriously: "I want your Chen family's business to take root in the north, especially in Peking Prefecture!"
Chen Ying'er's eyes twitched, and then she returned to her strong woman's appearance and said lightly: "Can you say it more in detail?"
Xiao Fan said: "Beiping Prefecture is the fief of King Yan. The King of Yan has 100,000 elite soldiers, not to mention the millions of civilians in Peking. So many people have to eat grain every day. Where does the food come from? The grain output of farmland in Peking Prefecture is far from meeting the consumption of so many people. Over the years, the grain in Peking has been purchased and transported by Henan, Shandong and Shanxi to maintain the food and clothing of the soldiers in Peking..."
Chen Ying'er's heart was thrilled when she heard this. Xiao Fan was promoted from a civilian commoner to commander of the Jinyiwei within a year, and was even promoted to the title of the emperor. His experience attracted the envy of countless scholars in the world. The history of this civilian scholar was circulated in the streets and alleys, so Chen Ying'er naturally heard a lot.
She kept all the love affairs between Xiao Fan and the two princesses, his friendship with His Royal Highness the Grand Prince, his deep grudges with the King of Yan, etc.
After hearing Xiao Fan say this, Chen Ying'er couldn't help but interrupt and said, "You... want to break the King of Yan's food route?"
Xiao Fan's expression was calm and he said sternly: "This matter is not to be disclosed. Wan Mo mentioned it to outsiders. You only need to send someone to contact the King of Yan as a merchant. No matter what method is used, you will gradually grasp the right to purchase grain in Peking. As for the official matter, the Jinyiwei will secretly assist you. This matter is dangerous. You don't have to come forward in person, you just need to send capable people..."
Chen Ying'er's heart moved and she lowered her head and said softly: "Are you... caring about me?"
Xiao Fan, who was talking, was stunned: "Ah?"
"Sir, don't you want me to take risks. Are you... caring about me?"
"Miss, please respect yourself, we are talking about business now!"
Chen Ying'er suddenly raised her head and bravely looked at Xiao Fan: "But I want to talk to you about my private matters first!"
Xiao Fan sighed helplessly.
Women, what are they thinking in their minds? How can everything be linked to love and love?
No wonder it has been a patriarchal society for more than two thousand years, and women are not the only thing they can do.
"What private matter do you want to talk to me?" Xiao Fan sighed, picked up the teacup and poured it into a big mouthful of tea.
Chen Ying'er pursed her little mouth and looked at Xiao Fan up and down. After a while, she suddenly said, "Sir, aren't you a child man anymore?"
"Puff--" A mouthful of hot tea spewed out, and Xiao Fan choked and coughed loudly.
"You...how did you know?" Xiao Fan couldn't tell whether he was shy or angry.
Chen Ying'er ignored Xiao Fan's flushed face and said leisurely: "I heard from those aunts who have experienced it that non-child men, whether they are walking or sitting, their legs are habitually separated..."
Swish!
Xiao Fan immediately put his legs together, which were spread apart.
"I heard that... those who are not young men have sparse eyebrows, and are light but not condensed..."
Xiao Fan raised his hand to hold his forehead and covered his eyebrows.
"I heard that... a non-child man has a springy face, a peach blossom face, and his eyes are not pure or just..." Chen Ying'er's tone was leisurely.
Xiao Fan covered his face: "..."
"I heard..."
"Don't...stop talking, please..." Xiao Fan begged bitterly.
Chen Ying'er's smile suddenly changed, and she became resentful and intense.
"Xiao Fan, is the princess that good? What is the point that I can't compare to the princess?"
