Li Xinwen looked at Gongsun Yue who was crying in her arms, gritted her teeth, and said sadly: "I thought this might be just a misunderstanding. After all, you have always been smart, but I didn't expect that he is really... It turns out that most of the negative people are scholars!"
Gongsun Yue choked up and said: "It's just that I was blinded by his talent for a while, and in order to avoid me, he fled to the capital to develop, and became a popular person around the emperor. However, I will handle my own affairs with him, Sister, please don’t spread the word, and you don’t have to stand up for me, so as not to affect the friendship between the two of you..."
Li Xinwen nodded and said: "You don't have to worry, I have my own sense of discretion. How about I find an opportunity to help you castrate him in the future?"
Gongsun Yue's breath was stagnant and she quickly said: "Sister, I don't want it!"
"Huh? Do you still miss him?" Li Xinwen looked confused.
"No, after he came to the capital, he pretended to be a stranger to me..." Gongsun Yue explained hesitantly.
"What? Then he should be castrated!" Li Xinwen said firmly.
"No~" Gongsun Yue thought of his little sister and acted coquettishly.
Jiang Fuxue was determined to protect Liang Xiao, and even threatened that she would commit suicide if the Gongsun family dared to hurt Liang Xiao!
After all, this girl dared to run away from Bashu when she was eight years old, and the Gongsun family couldn't afford it!
"You just have lingering feelings for him, and you will only be led by him and hurt again and again. You and I are sworn brothers, how can I just stand by and watch?" Li Xinwen sighed.
Gongsun Yue quickly said coquettishly: "I've opened my eyes now. I just listened to my eldest brother and Mr. Zhuo and used their tricks. I just pretended to get to know him again and used them to show off my tricks. I waited until he changed his mind or changed his past and then severely punished him." If he abandons him, it will make him miserable~"
Li Xinwen looked at the well-behaved Gongsun Yue and nodded helplessly: "Sister will be returning to Dachu in a while. You have to take care of yourself. The worst is, we will deal with him together in the future and let him live happily for a few years first... You If you never want to be close to a man again, my sister will stay with you forever and never marry. When we get old, we can escape into Buddhism together."
Gongsun Yue was shocked, but when he thought of her and his sister-in-law, such a sincere relationship made him feel warm in his heart.
"No, no, no, sister Xinwen should marry a good man when she should. Don't worry about me. I will also know how to handle it. After all, I still have family support. Sister, let me handle it by myself first!"
Li Xinwen felt relieved, then thought of something again, and frowned: "When did you meet him? I heard that this man came to the capital two years ago to develop, and he lost all his money in business at that time. Do you know him better?" You need to know me earlier..."
Gongsun Yue was shocked and nodded quickly.
"Well, he used to use his name to get close to me, just to facilitate deception, and then he fled from Bashu to the capital..."
"Name? What name? Let me help you keep an eye on it." Li Xinwen asked again.
"Call...Lady Qinglian!"
After Gongsun Yuexin made up a nonsense name, he cried loudly: "I, I was deceived by his talent and this fairy-like name. I thought he was an extraordinary and great talent. For a moment, I was in love. At once……"
Li Xinwen quickly comforted her softly, and then said: "Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing the heart! It doesn't matter, my sister will remember this heartless man with you. When my sister is about to go back, withdraw from the military and resign from her position, I will come to Dazhou to accompany you. If If you haven’t succeeded yet, I will take revenge with you!”
Gongsun Yue was afraid that he would not be able to tell the lie, so he had to bite the bullet and agree. He warned many people not to drag down Da Chu and the Li family because of himself.
Li Xinwen returned to Honglu Temple all the way and stood in front of the door of her room, looking up at the moon, filled with confusion.
"Two years ago, he was able to spend all his wealth to help the refugees, which led to the failure of his own business. How can such a person be so mean... Are people really so contradictory and complicated?"
Early the next morning, Gong Yangjing and Dugu Chen led a group of disciples from aristocratic families to Honglu Temple to visit Xing Feng.
After the greetings, Gong Yangjing asked tentatively: "Does Mr. Xing know about the recent cancellation of salt introduction in our country?"
Xing Feng understood, nodded and said: "Such a big event is known to the whole world, how can I turn a deaf ear. However, recently I also want to see what the Marquis of Lanling in your country calls the 'Moonlight on the Sea'. If anything happens, we can talk about it later. how?"
Gongyang Jing was stunned, and looked at Dugu Chen. Seeing him nodding, he had no choice but to nod.
The two left Honglu Temple, rode in a carriage together, and whispered.
"What kind of medicine is Xing Feng selling in the gourd that keeps dragging us down?" Gongyang Jing finally got angry.
Liang Xiao was preparing to launch an attack on his family's wine business, but Xing Feng actually wanted to see the bright moon in the sea.
Dugu Chen thought for a while and said: "Of course, we are waiting for a price. If Liang Xiao's wine industry develops as fast as sugar, we will need to give up more benefits when we negotiate with Da Chu. This Xing Feng It’s not a fuel-efficient lamp either.”
Gongyang Jing thought thoughtfully and said, "Let the Duanmu family interfere with Liang Xiao's wine business. My family will fight, and your family will try their best to deal with Liang Xiao's relatives and friends. Then Qin Baili had offended me in Jiangnan. Now that he is on good terms with Liang Xiao, he is still studying at Taixue, right?"
Dugu Chen looked calm and nodded: "Qin Baili and others can be dealt with by my family and the Duanmu family. Let's urge brother Tuoba together. The Tuoba family can't just sit on the sidelines and do nothing."
A figure watched the carriage that the two were riding in gradually go away, return to Honglu Temple, and report back to Xing Feng's residence.
Xing Feng frowned and said: "These two people are quite talented in the south and north of the Yangtze River and should not be underestimated."
"If we don't take a stand, will they be seen as supporting Liang Xiao?" Xing Hai worriedly asked.
Xing Feng shook his head.
"As an envoy of Da Chu, I naturally consider the interests of Da Chu. Currently, I have no motive to antagonize them for Liang Xiao. After all, the aristocratic families of Da Zhou cannot be underestimated, and they should also know that I will not offend anyone casually. Of course, I also hope that this trip will be fruitful.”
Liang Xiao soon learned through Xuanwei that Gong Yangjing and others visited Xing Feng.
Zhuge Cheng, who was talking to him, couldn't help but worry after hearing Xuanwei's report: "We need to be careful of their alliance. After all, salt may harm the interests of Chu."
Liang Xiao nodded slightly and said with a smile: "They visited Xing Feng and left too quickly. They must not have reached anything. They must first let Xing Feng understand that the salt and wine industry in Dazhou is about to undergo earth-shaking changes. Let Dachu It is a weapon that should be used against rats. After weighing the seriousness, Da Chu will naturally not dare to act rashly."
Zhuge Cheng smiled and nodded, and the two of them understood each other tacitly.
After Zhuge Cheng left, Liang Xiao learned about the situation of the wine barons in the capital.
All the wine tycoons in the capital accepted Liang Xiao's invitation. It didn't matter which of them would come for the benefit of the family.
In the Imperial Study Room, Duan Yunyi and Duan Yunxiu looked at the jars of Canghai Wine and Yueming Wine on the table and smelled the aroma of the wine, but they were still a little nervous.
The next day, Huanhualou asked Liang Xiao to book the venue as promised and held a cocktail party, where followers gathered.
