The son-in-law is a thief

Suddenly Gu Ruyang who is a Buddhist is not used to Zeng Shi, he frowned and his face sank, it was clearly for Gu Ruyang to see, Zeng Shi is indeed different from ordinary Gu's subordinates, his father is Gu Changhai's The brothers, and He Sansi are of the same generation, and they are mainly responsible for the most shady business of the Gu family, which is their old business in the sea - robbery.Zeng Shi has also inherited his father's position now, and he is accompanied by the most valiant sailors of the Gu family, maintaining the rights of the Gu family in the entire Suzaku Sea.Therefore, in Gu's family, he is the least fond of comfort.

"Who are you showing this face to!" He Sansi slapped the table and shouted to Zeng Shi.

How can Zeng Shi be convinced, he said: "The head of the house is with that little fox, and he doesn't look like a pirate. It turns out that the old fox is nagging all day long, and now the little fox is added..."

"You're wronged." Erniang You said, "You fight and kill outside all day long, and sometimes our own fishery is implicated. I'd better take it as our own and avoid fighting."

Zeng Shi finally looked at He Sansi, and he said: "Old man He, to be fair, if you want to make the world fear us, you must beat us until others are convinced." He then looked at Gu Ruyang: "You who are in charge Wasn’t that the one who brought us to fight before?”

There is nothing wrong with what Zeng Shi said, at least before Gu Ruyang took Wanshi Port, they fought all the way from their own southeast port to Taiping Island. For all the powerful enemies they encountered along the way, they would subdue them if they could subdue them. All the killings that could not be subdued, along the way, she snatched all the routes or goods that Gu Ruyang liked. It can be said that since He Sansi made Gu Ruyang the head of the family, she only used It took five years to control all medium and large piers in the Suzaku sea area.This time, with fewer enemies and more enemies, it is actually a great thing to destroy Qi's navy. Not long after Qi was established, all countries are watching, not knowing how strong it is, and whether because of Zhou's existence, Qi and Wanshigang will eventually form. Therefore, Gu Ruyang's victory this time is also a reminder to the surrounding countries that as long as they are on the sea, they still need to follow the lead of Wanshigang.

He Sansi murmured, he waved his hand at Zeng Shi, the old boatman said: "Let's talk when we come down, let's see how the master arranges it first."

Gu Ruyang looked at the north, and said: "You Erniang's activities in the north should be stopped first, and the transactions in the North Land should be slowed down first. Many people who used to live in you will go to the north to patrol. If you don't want to fight, it doesn't mean you can't fight. If you see the Qi army Don't stay alive."

"Decree!" Hearing what Gu Ruyang said, Zeng Shi felt a little more balanced.

"As for Uncle He," Gu Ruyang thought for a while, "I'll talk about your arrangements later, after all, you are in charge of the commercial route now..." Gu Ruyang rubbed his brows and said, "We'll discuss it tomorrow." Bar."

"Order."

The crowd dispersed, and Gu Ruyang was about to go back to her Gu's mansion. She didn't understand why her father built such a magnificent mansion next to the Port of Wanshi, and insisted that the children of the sea should live on the boat, but Now I finally understand that home should be where there are relatives.

The entire Gu family is much busier than before. Gu Ruyang has the intention of moving back to live in the house, so the housekeeper Ji Mu is also very concerned. He always asks Zhaoyang about the decisions in the house, no matter how big or small, so that the mistress of the house can make the decision. Although busy is a bit busy, but also considered orderly.

Gu Ruyang and Zhaoyang still did not live together and slept together, Gu Ruyang lived in her Shenglan Courtyard, while Zhaoyang lived in Pinglan Courtyard, but they still had more meals together every day, Gu Ruyang left Wanshigang, So I went straight to Zhaoyang's courtyard, and I smelled the aroma of food before I walked a few steps.

Stepping into the central hall, the dishes and wine were already set on the table, Zhaoyang was looking at him with a smile on his face, Gu Ruyang's heart warmed, he hurried into the table, Feng Jian presented Gu Ruyang's bowls and chopsticks , and retreated quietly.

"Ruyang's discussion today is going well." Zhaoyang said, not in a hurry to eat, she asked with concern.

Gu Ruyang picked up his chopsticks and slammed it on the table, saying: "Zeng Shi has some opinions, Boss He and You Erniang... didn't say anything."

Gu Ruyang said again: "Zhaoyang, don't worry about it, I will find a way to push things forward."

Zhaoyang smiled, put Gu Ruyang's most delicious fish sticks into her bowl, and asked, "Didn't they guess that this was my idea?"

Gu Ruyang tapped Zhaoyang's forehead: "You little fox, they didn't think about you, because Master Du and your thoughts were quite different before, so they only thought it was him."

Zhaoyang said again: "Then what do you think, Ruyang? After all, you are the master of Wanshigang, and my status is embarrassing. Now that I am offering advice for you, are you sincerely willing?"

"Why don't you want to?!" Gu Ruyang put down her chopsticks, her nervous expression immediately calmed down, and she said: "I understand what you and Master Du are thinking. Taiping Island is small and weak, and a tough battle will definitely not last long. However, it is not appropriate not to fight, so raising the tax first, I think it is also a good way.”

Zhaoyang nodded: "My son-in-law is not a fool."

"However..." Gu Ruyang also had doubts in his heart: "But I don't want to give up the business in Beilu, so I just suspended the operations of Minhai and Guanghai, and I think I still have some losses."

"Niangui City has what Beilu has. What Beilu doesn't have, Niangui City also has." Zhaoyang said: "Niangui City has the best seeds, the best grain, and the best craftsmen. , can make the best craftsmanship in the world, why should the son-in-law look far away."

"Zhaoyang..." It's not that Gu Ruyang doesn't trust her princess, but she just feels that Zhaoyang is dissuading her, but it's more like planning for Nianguicheng. She continued: "Doing business with Nianguicheng is inevitable. You can rest assured."

Zhaoyang continued: "Ruyang pays too much attention to matters at sea on weekdays. Mr. Du is thinking about returning to the city to build roads. Don't forget to communicate with him more often, Ruyang."

Gu Ruyang took a mouthful of rice and started to eat, nodding in response.

"Mr. Du said that if Ru Yang is too busy to build roads from Wanshi Port to Niangui City at the same time, you can leave it to me to take care of it." Zhaoyang said, it was true that Du Yong proposed such an idea at the time and brought Wu Bai The strong men were stationed in the imperial city.

"I see. Since Taiping Port and Nianguicheng have signed a document agreement, they will naturally act according to the rules." Gu Ruyang gave himself something to eat, and stopped looking at Zhaoyang.

Seeing Gu Ruyang's distressed face, Zhaoyang knew that she didn't like to hear these things, so he stopped talking, and the two of them started eating properly.

The two of them were silent, but it didn't mean that there was nothing in their hearts, especially Gu Ruyang had an indescribable irritability in his heart. After returning to Gu's mansion Zhaoyang, he mentioned the matter of Beilu to her, although the focus was on persuading Gu Ruyang The taxation of Wanshigang did not mean that it would completely cut off the business with Hokuriku, but in Gu Ruyang's view, Zhaoyang's role was always selfish towards Nianguicheng. Zhaoyang married him from the beginning to the end. It was because of this business between the two places, if it was before, Gu Ruyang would have been very happy, but Zhaoyang has become her confidant, so she feels uncomfortable when it is brought up.

But Zhaoyang's mind has never changed. The life and death of Nian Guicheng has always been a major issue on her mind. Now that Gu Ruyang and her have become a family, it is very natural to say these words to relatives, even if it is a folk How can a girl say that she doesn't protect her natal family, but Gu Ruyang doesn't want to talk about it at this time, so she has no choice but to stop mentioning it.

"Princess, son-in-law, the cook has prepared a sweet soup today, you should try it." Feng Di said as he signaled the maidservants to bring the soup.

"No need." Gu Ruyang stood up from the table, she cleared her throat and said to Zhaoyang: "I'll have a drink with Zeng Shi later, isn't it that Starfish has to be rewarded for its merits this time? Go back to Shenglan Courtyard to rest, and wake me up for dinner tomorrow morning."

Zhaoyang was taken aback for a moment, but she understood something in her heart, she still said softly as always: "That Ru Yang will come back earlier, don't drink too much wine, it will hurt your stomach."

"Okay, thank you Princess for your concern." Gu Ruyang retreated to the table, maybe she also felt that it was a bit abrupt to leave the table so suddenly, she turned back and said to Zhao Yang: "Then I'm leaving, you go to bed early."

After Gu Ruyang left, Zhaoyang asked someone to clean up the meal, and the two kissed me for several days. Although they didn't share the same bed in the first two days, they were inseparable every day, holding each other's hands and unwilling to separate , but I didn't expect that when I suddenly mentioned this serious matter, Gu Ruyang took the initiative to run away.

"Princess, what's wrong with the son-in-law?" Feng Di also felt weird.

"It's nothing, maybe she's tired too."

"Oh." Fengdi nodded in confusion, and asked again: "The son-in-law really can't come today? Didn't he bribe me and Fengjian yesterday?"

"Don't say a few words." Fengdi turned to Zhaoyang and said: "The princess has sealed a game of chess before returning home. I don't know if the princess is interested in continuing."

Zhaoyang looked outside the door, sighed and said, "If you don't want to play chess, go and get two of the miscellaneous books I read earlier."

After Feng Jian made a thousand blows, he was obedient and went to fetch things.

Nianguicheng

Du Yong wiped his glasses, and sent a servant to add a lamp in the room. In front of him was a blueprint, which clearly showed the layout of Niangui City, and on the right side of the layout was a large The blank space also clearly records the daily inspection time of the city defense and the number of sentry posts every day. While watching, he points with his fingers, as if drawing some routes. He sometimes clacks his head and sometimes nods in satisfaction.There is another layer below this layer of map, but it is not the map of Niangui City. On the top of the map are clearly written a few large characters - Wu'an Port Coastal Defense Map.

"Master Du."

There was a soft knock at the door.

"Come in." Du Yong didn't leave the drawing.

A man in black came in, he bowed to Du Yong and said, "The layout of the East Palace has been found out."

"Is the painting finished?" Du Yong asked.

"The painting is finished." The man in black handed over a painting tube.

"When are you going back to Wanshigang?" Du Yong asked the black man again.

"Leave at Yinshi tomorrow and take the official route." The man in black said.

Du Yong took a letter from the table and handed it to the man in black. He said: "I will hand it over to the head of the family and He Laosan respectively. If the head of the house asks, don't mention the East Palace, just say that the road construction is going on step by step. That's it."

"Order."
