The general kneels on the washboard again

Chapter 93 The Wind is Coming

Lan Xin looks very capable and belongs to the same category as Wen Shu. Yue Niang also trusts Wen Shu's vision.

The chicken soup was simmering in the kitchen. Yue Niang was sitting in the lobby. Lan Xin came over with some snacks and said, "Boss, have some tea."

Yue Niang asked her to sit down as well: "Sister Lan Xin, please sit down too, let's talk."

Lan Xin was obviously a little embarrassed: "Boss, is there something I did wrong?"

Yue Niang quickly denied: "No, no, I just wanted to have a quick chat with you."

Lan Xin was still a little uneasy, but she also sat opposite Yue Niang.

Yue Niang poured her some tea and said, "Sister Lan Xin, you are in charge of Feng Man Xuan now. Your husband and mother-in-law haven't come to cause you any trouble, have they?"

Lan Xin did not deny it, but said: "Boss, they did come to ask for money a few times, but they were all to buy some food for my son. They never made trouble otherwise."

Yue Niang nodded and said, "If they make trouble at Feng Man Xuan, just go to Pin Ming Ju and find Ruo Yan. Ask her to send her thugs to clean up the mess. You just need to take care of the shop."

Lan Xin has a vicious husband's family. Her husband has achieved nothing and just sits paralyzed at home every day. Her mother-in-law is tyrannical and overbearing, and she has suffered a lot.

Entering the girls' school was completely an accident. That day, she was driven out by her husband and mother-in-law and had nowhere to go. She took shelter from the rain outside the girls' school and was seen by Wen Shu by chance.

Ever since she became a waitress at Feng Manxuan, she has never returned to her husband's family. However, when the family heard that she had a legitimate livelihood, they would come to her every few days to ask for money.

Lan Xin also looked a little sad at this time: "Alas, if it weren't for my son, I really want him to give me a divorce letter."

"Sister Lan Xin, what are your plans after you get the divorce letter?"

Lan Xin was also immersed in beautiful fantasies.

"I can earn money now, enough to support Hu'er and me. I'll do some needlework and send Hu'er to school. I hope I can pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar in the future."

But then reality hit her again: "But they won't let me see Hu'er, and they won't give me a divorce letter."

Yue Niang patted Lan Xin gently to comfort her.

"Sister Lan Xin, after the divorce, it will be difficult for you to get married again."

Lan Xin sighed: "I don't think about getting married again. It's like this anyway. I just want my Hu'er back now."

At this time, Dong Zhu called out, "Miss, come and take a look at this chicken soup."

Yue Niang didn't even have time to drink tea and went to the kitchen, leaving Lan Xin sitting there in a daze for a long time.

When Yue Niang returned to Pinmingju with the chicken soup, Ruoyan also hired a few people to carry Zhulan back.

After everyone was busy settling down, Yue Niang carefully poured chicken soup and handed it to Zhulan on the bed.

Zhulan was very touched: "Thank you, Miss."

Jiang Yunxiao rode at full speed all the way and hurried back without even having a meal at Princess Minjia's house.

Looking at the chicken soup on the table, he drank it all in one gulp without caring about anything else: "I'm so thirsty."

After drinking it, I realized something was wrong: "What kind of soup is this? It tastes quite good."

When Yue Niang went to check again, the soup in the casserole was almost gone.

Zhulan felt listless after drinking one bowl of tea and said she wanted to sleep. Yue Niang did not want to keep her and left.

When he reached his room, Wan Cheng appeared: "Master."

Yue Niang was startled: "What's wrong? Any news?"

Wan Cheng shook his head, his face flushed: "Master, I want to take two days off."

At this time, Lian Xing and his men also appeared: "What? Wan Cheng, have you forgotten your identity as a secret guard? I've never heard of a secret guard asking for leave."

The secret guard is not even as good as a maidservant or servant. He is just a knife that can break at any time.

Yue Niang sat on the chair and said, "Tell me the reason."

Wan Cheng said, "My master asked me to go to Tianyinfang to apologize to Miss Feng Ning, but Miss Feng Ning asked me to take responsibility. Under my master's guidance, we have never owed him money, so I thought of giving all my savings to Miss Feng Ning."

Yue Niang laughed so hard amidst the surprised expressions of the others that she fell backwards. It was not until Lian Xing coughed a few times that Yue Niang regained her composure: "Okay, go ahead, Manyue, follow Zhulan."

Man Yue accepted the order and Wan Cheng left.

Lian Xing stared at Yue Niang intently, and after a long while, he managed to utter, "Master, can we get married and have children?"

Yue Niang nodded blankly: "Of course, why not?"

Lian Xing's worldview completely collapsed: "Master, as secret guards, can we really walk in the sun?"

Yue Niang reaffirmed: "Of course, but I can't protect myself right now. Once the situation is settled, I will definitely register you and let you all get married and start your own families."

Lian Xing was looking forward to it.

Jiang Yunxiao ate some pastries in the kitchen downstairs and then came to find Yue Niang: "You must go to Qiefeng tomorrow. I see that Sister Minjia is much better now, and I really do have something to discuss with you."

"Okay, I see. Why are you in such a hurry to come back today?"

Jiang Yunxiao spread his hands and said, "Of course I'm bringing you a letter."

There was a strong wind and the sky was cloudy, and it was at the place of Princess Minjia of Feng Kingdom.

Princess Minjia's complexion was indeed much rosier, and she was so happy that she took a few pieces of cloth to show Yue Niang.

"Look at these patterns, what do you think?"

Yue Niang nodded repeatedly: "It is indeed good. I wonder where the princess got it?"

Princess Mingjia's eyes lit up: "I listened to your advice and bought a dyeing workshop next door to dye cloth."

But soon, the starlight in her eyes dimmed: "But this is very common in Qiefeng Country. There is absolutely no market in Qiefeng Country."

Yue Niang quickly understood what Princess Mingjia meant: "Princess, what do you mean?"

"I heard from Yunxiao that you're in business. Why don't you help me sell this to Dacheng? We can split the profits 50-50. How about that?"

Yue Niang looked at Princess Mingjia's serious expression and felt a little guilty: "Your Highness, is it really okay for you to do this with your status?"

Yue Niang was a little afraid of being associated with the royal family. She only heard Princess Mingjia say, "What relationship could there be? I'm just a concubine. Besides, I don't intend to reveal my true identity to anyone. Not everyone in this courtyard knows it yet."

Yue Niang took a step back and said, "Your Highness, Qiefeng's cloth can indeed be sold at a good price in Dacheng, but I am just a commoner, and it is not convenient for me to come and go."

Princess Mingjia smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about that."

Princess Mingjia waved outside, and a handsome man walked in.

The man was about 1.8 to 1.9 meters tall, with deep facial features, and was a Qiefeng man.

Princess Mingjia introduced him in Dacheng dialect: "This is Hu Yanqiu, a member of the royal family. He is also interested in the cloth business. He has saved my life more than once in Qiefeng and is my close friend.

He is trustworthy, and the dyeing workshop outside is currently run by him."

"Can he break through the barriers between our two countries?" Yue Niang asked.

Princess Mingjia said a few words to Huyan Qiu, and Huyan Qiu took out something like a jade pendant from his waist.

Princess Mingjia handed it to Yue Niang and said, "With this, you can freely enter and exit the border between the two countries."

Yue Niang looked at Hu Yanqiu with an upright face, and tried to see through his true nature. At this moment, a black gas emerged from Hu Yanqiu's head.

Seeing this, Yue Niang couldn't tell whether Hu Yanqiu was good or bad, so she decided to hold back. "Your Highness, can I think about it for a while?"

Princess Minjia agreed, and Yue Niang left.

On the way back to Qingshi Town, Jiang Yunxiao had a gloomy face. He only started to speak when Yue Niang asked him what was wrong, as if he would not speak unless she asked him.

"I think there's something fishy about Hu Yanqiu."

Yue Niang agreed: "I think so too. As a member of the royal family, how could you have so much free time as to help a concubine princess who married into a neighboring country?"

"Huyan is the surname of the Qiefeng royal family. Now that the old Qiefeng King is on the verge of death, these younger generations are trying their best to take the position. No one has the time to care about Sister Minjia."

Yue Niang suddenly realized, "That's why His Highness's courtyard looks so much better now. Gaining His Highness's recognition is equivalent to gaining Da Cheng's recognition."

Jiang Yunxiao also understood, and then he said to Yue Niang: "Then we won't do this deal. They still need Sister Minjia, so she will be safe. Okay, go back to sleep."
