"Keep your voice down." She reminded him worriedly.

"it is good."

"I'm a little uncomfortable, please be gentle..." She said weakly again, frowning slightly. She was no different from a virgin now, how could she bear Guan Ning's treatment?

"Okay!" Guan Ning nodded repeatedly, looking like he was possessed by a demon.

Concubine Ya was extremely ashamed, but she still moved her body and gave herself to Guan Ning again.

"..."

This was the happiest day of Chen Wanjin's life. Without exception, she gave Guan Ning everything she had.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the messy bedroom had been cleaned up, and Concubine Ya burned the soiled skirt directly.

"Wanjin, I have to go. If I'm any later, it will be dark." Guan Ning frowned.

"Yeah, go slower."

"By the way, take this."

At this moment, she was not a queen, but just an ordinary woman. She trotted along with the tenderness of a young girl and handed a package to Guan Ning.

"What is this?" Guan Ning was surprised.

"They're some clothes or insoles. I had nothing to do, so I made some for you. I don't know if they'll fit you." Her slight shyness was accompanied by gentleness.

Guan Ning was deeply moved when he heard this.

No wonder she was willing to do this with me, it turned out that she had already fallen in love with me.

"it is good!"

"I will come again. I will take you out as soon as possible. Believe me, I will not abandon you." Guan Ning kissed her forehead hard.

Chen Wanjin pursed her lips and smiled sweetly, her beauty was very graceful. She believed in Guan Ning.

"Ok, I will wait for you."

"Stop wasting time and go."

"People will see it soon."

"One more kiss."

"Um!!"

……

It was already evening when we left the palace. The sun was setting and the sky was quietly covered with a layer of twilight.

When I got home, dinner had already been prepared and the aroma of food filled the entire yard.

"Hahaha, what smells so good?"

"Master!"

"It's my husband who's back." Qin Yao and her men immediately came out to greet him. Some took off their coats, some brushed their furs. The treatment they received perfectly reflected the man's status.

"Husband, why are you back so late today?"

"I went to the palace and got some medicine from Bai Xiaosheng." Guan Ning said.

"I see. You're not well yet. You'd better not run around anymore."

"By the way, we have guests coming to our house."

"Guest?" Guan Ning was stunned for a moment: "Who?"

Lou Xinyue said: "Bashan Nie Nan."

"Ah?" Guan Ning was surprised. He never expected that it was Nie Nan. Why was he here?

"Where is he?"

"It's in the lobby." Lou Xinyue said.

"Let's go." Guan Ning walked quickly and rushed to the lobby.

Seeing Guan Ning coming, a man in the lobby immediately stood up. He was tall and mighty, with a handsome appearance and ordinary clothes. He was not a noble or famous person, but he gave people a feeling of righteousness and vitality.

Now that Nie Nan has become the chief of the Bashan tribe, he has become more reserved, and his beard exudes a sense of steadiness!

He smiled and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Prince!"

Guan Ning laughed: "Hahaha, it really is you!"

"What brings you here? You didn't even inform me in advance."

Nie Nan smiled and explained, "Brother Guan, please forgive me. It is really because of my status that I cannot make such a big announcement."

Guan Ning nodded, expressing his understanding. Once Nie Nan left Shu, he would easily be placed under house arrest by the imperial court, allowing them to control Shu to a greater extent.

"Come here, serve some tea."

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Husband, it's already been served. It's time for dinner, why are you still drinking tea? Why not just go to the banquet directly?"

Snapped!

Guan Ning slapped his forehead and said, "You're right, you're right, look at my brain."

"Brother Nie, let's go and have dinner. You have come from far away, so I will welcome you. Let's not go home until we are drunk tonight!" He was extremely happy, as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land.

Nie Nan also had a broad smile on his face and acted boldly: "Okay, in that case, I'd better obey your command respectfully."

"go!"

Soon, the group moved to the side hall to eat.

You won’t know until you try it. Nie Nan was shocked when he tried it. He was dumbfounded. The descendants of a famous family like the Guan family didn’t even have separate tables, and women could also sit at the table to eat.

Even the servants had their own tables, so they didn’t have to eat in the kitchen or squat.

This surprised him very much. After all, in this era, except for very poor families, most people had to follow such rules. At least women could not eat at the main table.

But Guan Ning is simply an outlier among the outliers.

Moreover, after the meal, the whole atmosphere was just like that of ordinary people having a meal in the city, with laughter and joy, without any of the loneliness and intrigue of a mansion.

An hour later, we were full and satisfied.

Guan Ning then invited Nie Nan into his study, which was quiet enough. Lou Xinyue followed and brought two cups of tea, then quietly retreated behind Guan Ning.

"Brother Nie, have some tea."

"Thank you, Brother Guan!" Nie Ying took it with both hands and said with a smile, "This capital city is truly prosperous. Brother Guan has shown such great hospitality, but I came here empty-handed. I'm truly ashamed!"

Guan Ning was unhappy: "It's so strange to say that. We are brothers. You have helped me a lot."

"What's a meal?"

Nie Nan was moved, his eyes full of respect for Guan Ning. It was precisely because of Guan Ning's relationship that Bashan did not fall into the hands of thieves, and the people in Bashan and Shu were able to have more livelihoods.

Thinking of the purpose of his trip, he hesitated slightly.

Guan Ning saw that he was hesitant to speak, and knew that he couldn't have come to the capital just to meet someone, so he took the initiative to say, "Brother Nie, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Yes." Lou Xinyue also spoke.

Nie Nan hesitated, then spoke, seeming a little embarrassed: "Brother Guan, to be honest, I came to you this time because I want to ask for your help."

"Just tell me, did something happen in Shu?" Guan Ning asked with concern.

Nie Nan shook his head. "Thanks to the prince, Shu can now survive by selling river shrimp. With the help of the Phoenix Leaf Chamber of Commerce, life has clearly improved."

"But you also know that Shu is a land of dangerous terrain, as difficult as ascending to heaven. This is almost the entire Shu land's biggest flaw."

"As the clan leader, I really don't want my descendants to live like this for generations. To break the status quo, I want to build a horse-riding plank road from south to north!"

As the name suggests, the Zouma Plank Road is a type of ancient plank road that allows horses and carriages to pass through, but this type of plank road is not the same as a road because it is usually suspended in mid-air.

"This is a good thing!" Guan Ning exclaimed. This is definitely a visionary idea. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads.

"How can I help you?"

Nie Ying said awkwardly, "There's plenty of manpower in Shu, so there's no shortage of it. What we're mainly short of right now is money."

"The imperial court will definitely not give this much money. After all, Shu has been a poor place for hundreds of years. As long as you don't rebel, the imperial court will not care."

"So I can only find a way on my own. Although I can command the entire Shu land to participate, even a penny can make a hero difficult, and I don't want my people to work for nothing. Besides, this plank road is hundreds of kilometers long, and the silver required is huge."

"So I came to the capital to ask Brother Guan if he could lend us some money."

"Of course, don't worry. Friendship is friendship, but this money is not borrowed for free. We can hand over the resources of Shu to the Guan family and calculate the interest!"

Guan Ning just shook his head.

Nie Nan's face turned pale and he felt a little embarrassed, but it was normal when he thought about it. It was too much money, and Shu was so poor, who would dare to lend it?

Even if the old emperor was asked to allocate money, he would definitely not agree.

But the next second, Guan Ning changed the subject and said, "I don't want your interest."

As soon as these words came out, Nie Nan's eyes lit up and he raised his head abruptly: "Brother Guan, do you agree?"

"Of course, since Bashan has spoken, it is my duty as the prince. You can take that batch of gold and use it."

He waved his hand without even blinking.

Lou Xinyue behind him was shocked. That gold was two hundred thousand taels, which was transported from the bottom of Fengdu River with great effort. Guan Ning just gave it to her like that?
