Fifth 80 is not a problem

The women in the hall were a little surprised to see Song Nan leading a graceful woman and a strange-faced teenager in. They stood up one after another and stared at the woman.

The woman glanced at the Song family's wife and concubine, with surprise on her face, as if she was surprised that the Song family's wives and concubines were as beautiful as flowers and had outstanding temperament.

"This is Princess Ping'an of Qingwang Mansion in Ningxia, and the little brother next to him is King Qingding." Song Nan introduced.

The daughters of the Song family suddenly realized that an inexplicable trace of hostility had also faded. The little princess came forward and said, "It turns out that this sister is Princess Ping'an. My husband often mentions you at home. Thank you for taking care of my husband in Ningxia Town. Our sisters also said that if we have the opportunity to go to Ningxia Town in person. Thank you."

The daughters of the Song family also came up to salute one after another. Princess Ping'an returned one by one, "I dare not, but don't call me the princess of the slave family. The slave family is now a civilian woman. Today, I rushed to visit your house and ask Princess Shuyi and several ladies to forgive the rudeness of the slave family."

Song Nan sighed, "I'm sorry that I couldn't convince the emperor."

Princess Ping'an smiled and said, "There is nothing to regret. The slave family has been very grateful for Lord Song's plea. Originally, our sister and brother were going to be implicated even more, which was already the best result. Now we are all ordinary people, and the Qingwang Mansion no longer exists. This is good, and ordinary people live a stable and comfortable life.

Song Nan laughed and said, "That's right. As long as people are fine, they are better than anything else."

At present, he made concessions, served tea, and sat down in the hall; Song Nan asked, "Princess... Well... When did Miss Fengtong come to the capital?"

Zhu Fengtong gently curled up her hair and said, "I came in April. After the Qingwang Mansion was sealed up, I planned to take my brother to Chengdu Mansion to settle down, but later my brother said that he would come to the capital to play, so the slave family brought him here."

Song Nan was surprised and said, "You came in April. Why didn't you come to find me?"

Zhu Fengtong took a look at the women of the Song family. His face was a little embarrassed and said to himself: You are a person with a family. What am I looking for you for? However, he said, "Fengtong doesn't want to bother Lord Song. It's a great blessing for my sister and brother to survive. After all, he is a guilty person and doesn't want Lord Song to be spoken to."

Song Nan shook his head and said, "That's not a big deal. Since the emperor has pardoned your sister and brother, you are innocent; but you finally came, and I think Song Nan is a friend."

The little princess asked, "Where does Sister Zhu live in the capital? Are you still used to life in the capital?"

Zhu Fengtong nod and said, "Princess Xie is concerned. I bought a house in Mingshifang, Chongwenmen, and lived there with my brother and several following servants and maidservants. The weather in Beijing is warm, which is much better than that in Ningxia Town. The food is also exquisite and delicious, but I'm used to it. Even if there are few people I know, I seldom go out.

Ye Fang smiled and said, "Mingshifang is a good place. The most elegant square in the inner city is full of large and rich merchants in the capital, and the house is not cheap."

Zhu Fengtong smiled and said, "It's not much. It cost more than 8,000 taels of silver inside and outside the four-opened house; the slave family didn't understand the market, so he asked a realter to help him agree."

The daughters of the Song family secretly squeaked their mouths. Zhu Fengtong said so much that she didn't seem to care about 8,000 taels of silver. You know, although the land in the capital is expensive, the price of an ordinary house is only a few hundred taels. Even in Mingshifang, the house with three entrances and four openings is about five or six. Qianliang was able to get it. Obviously, Zhu Fengtong was cheated by the mobster.

It's inconvenient for Song Nan to say it and smiled, "Well, we can come and go often. If we feel bored, we can often come to my house and sit closer to my wives."

Lu Qingli clapped her hands and smiled and said, "Okay, sister Zhu often comes to play. It's good to tell us some interesting things about Ningxia Town. I can also be Sister Zhu's guide and take you all over Beijing. I know all the interesting places in Beijing."

Zhu Fengtong smiled and said, "Thank you very much, sister. My sister must be Qingli."

Lu Qingli tilted her head and said, "How do you know?"

Zhu Fengtong took a look at Song Nan and smiled, "Your husband, Lord Song, mentioned you and said that you are ingenious and a female master."

Lu Qingli's eyes smiled like a crescent moon and looked at Song Nan and said, "Is that right?"

When the women saw Zhu Fengtong's easy-going smile, they had a good impression of her. Although they had some conjection about the relationship between Song Nan and her, it was not convenient to show it. Zhu Fengtong visited Songfu for the first time in three months. He must have something to say. In front of the women, it was afraid that it would be difficult to say it. So when the unnutritious politeness ended and the atmosphere was slightly quiet, the Song women chose to avoid it.

Zhu Taiyu couldn't sit still and was clamoring to go out. Song Nan asked Uncle Zhong to take him to walk in the yard. After retreating the crowd, only Song Nan and Zhu Fengtong were left in the hall. Their eyes were no longer as deliberately avoided as when the women were present. They coincidentally remembered the same bed on the west building and the ecstasy kisses when they left.

"You should have come to see me. I once ordered the Jinyiwei Office of Ningxia Town to inquire about your news, saying that after the Qingwang Mansion was raided, you left Ningxia Town with the little prince. I don't know where you went. I'm very worried."

Zhu Fengtong blushed and said, "Thank you for your consideration. The slave family knew that you must be vigorously asking for permission in front of the emperor to save my brother's life; there is only one younger brother left in Qingwang's vein now. I was afraid that someone would not let him go, so I didn't dare to show up easily. Now that Liu Jin is dead and everything has calmed down, I feel a little relieved.

Song Nan sighed, "You take good care of the little prince. The little prince is also a blessing in his previous life to have you as a sister."

Zhu Fengtong whispered, "My brother is disabled and difficult to grow up. He will always be a child. If I don't take care of him, he can't live. I don't resent anything. I just hope that after what has happened, I can take him to live a stable life, just like ordinary people.

Song Nan nodded and said, "That's also good."

Zhu Fengtong looked up at Song Nan and said, "I didn't plan to come to see you. In fact, I have seen you several times, but I didn't disturb you. I just looked at you from afar."

Song Nan smiled and said, "Why are you hiding from me? I don't eat people."

Zhu Fengtong glanced at Song Nan and said, "You live a happy life, and the ladies in your family are beautiful and polite. Why should I come out and disturb your life?"

Song Nan said, "Then why did you come to see me today?"

Zhu Fengtong said, "You have encountered a problem, right?"

Song Nan was stunned and said, "What's the problem?"

Zhu Fengtong smiled and said, "There is a joke circulating in Beijing. An important minister of the current dynasty was ambitious to govern the white paper workshop, but he hit a wall everywhere. Qian Zhuang did not lend him money, and his father-in-law's office did not approve of it. The urgent group tour was helpless. Who is it talking about?"

Song Nan laughed and said, "Do you know about this?"

Zhu Fengtong squeezed his lips and smiled and said, "Margrave Song is a celebrity in Beijing. His words and deeds are usually talked about in the pubs and teahouses in the capital, not to mention such a big thing."

Song Nan sighed and said, "Yes, it's hard to defeat a hero without money. It's true that there is such a thing, but I will do it. I don't take it as a joke."

Zhu Fengtong tilted her head and asked, "Can you tell me why you want to do this thing that no one is optimistic about?" What are the benefits of this matter?

Song Nan touched his nose and said, "Do you also think I'm a fool?"

"I don't understand. Can you talk about it separately?"

Song Nan is also the first time to meet people who are interested in asking about the big plan in his heart, including the people in Song family who are also disapproving with their plan, so there is nothing to say about the plan in her heart. But the blueprint in his heart is so unhappy that he can't talk about things. With a sincere listener, Song Nan is naturally willing to talk about it.

Song Nan's endless description of her ideas. Zhu Fengtong listened quietly with her cheeks and occasionally asked some questions. Song Nan answered them one by one.

"Do you mean to comprehensively plan the construction of houses and shops for sale?"

"Yes, the land in the capital is expensive. I have investigated and found that all cities are overcrowded. The capital has a population of millions and huge business potential. Most foreign merchants want to take root in the capital, but they suffer from no place to stand. If the white paper workshop can be completely cleaned up and developed, more than 4,000 shops will be built on both sides of the four main streets for sale, and merchants will gather.

"If it is so beneficial, why can't the great merchants in Beijing think of this?"

"I think it's probably because of vision. They may not have thought of this at all. I'm not going to open a shop to do business, but to develop shops and sell houses. In addition, even if some of them see business opportunities, the difficulty and capital of the development of this white paper shop are enough to deter them. And if it hadn't been for the emperor's permission, the court wouldn't have let me personally buy so much land at once. I'm unique in this regard, and it may be difficult for anyone else to let the emperor agree to this matter.

"How does the people in the white paper workshop settle down? How to arrange those papermaking workshops and barren graves? How to buy private land?

"These are not problems. The main problem is not how to operate, but the problem of funds." Song Nanxin said that I don't know how much of these experiences I have accumulated in future generations, and I can't handle it.

The two talked for nearly an hour, Song Nan revealed all the blueprints in his mind, and Zhu Fengtong also listened with great interest, and the questions asked were all on ideas, which made Song Nan couldn't help wondering why the princess from the royal palace was so shrewd about business, as if she were an experienced businessman.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Fengtong's husband's family is a giant in Chengdu. Although he only stayed at her husband's house for a year and died of illness, her husband's father-in-law is the president of the Chengdu Chamber of Commerce. There are often businessmen in the family, and he often talks about the principles of business. Zhu Fengtong is smart and familiar with his ears. Naturally, I learned a lot. Although I don't know how to operate, I know a lot of theoretical knowledge.

Speaking of which, it's still a blueprint. There is no money to hold down the hero, but now it has become a joke made fun of by others. I'm afraid it's not easy to do this. Song Nan sighed.

"Tell me, how much money do you lack?" Zhu Fengtong suddenly asked.

Song Nan frowned and said, "If there are three million taels of silver, I can start it. I already have 1.5 million taels on hand, and I'm still short of half of it. I'm considering selling the manor outside the city and the shops in the capital to collect hundreds of thousands of taels; although it's not enough, it can barely start.

"Don't sell it. I'll make up for how much is missing for you?" Zhu Fengtong said quietly.
