On the wedding day, the husband's family was confiscated and exiled

Gao Zhe stayed there until the afternoon before coming out.

He lifted up his robe and quickly walked down the stairs. The rain soaked his body, but it could not stop his angry steps.

He came to a teahouse and looked at the woman with a relaxed posture.

He stepped forward, grasped her slender wrist, and asked through gritted teeth: "Zhou Yao, what the hell do you mean?"

"Master Gao, I haven't seen you for many years. You have become much more wild."

Zhou Yao broke free from him, her fair wrists already turning red. With sarcasm in her eyes, she looked at Gao Zhe who was sitting opposite her and took a sip of tea.

Gao Zhe took a deep breath.

Just now, the emperor told him that the promotion had to be put on hold for the time being, and the position that originally belonged to him became Zhou Qi's.

How could he bear it?

"What do you want to do? You want to rob me as soon as you return to Shengjing?"

"Why should you be angry, Lord Gao? Don't you just want to take control of the army and become the supreme general?" Zhou Yao's words hit his heart.

He really meant it.

The imperial power fell into the wrong hands, and treacherous officials took the opportunity to stir up trouble. As the emperor's most trusted person and the youngest and most promising general in the court, he naturally wanted to get a piece of the pie.

Gao Zhe wanted to take control of the military power and help the emperor drive out the traitors.

After that, I never gave it back.

"Miss Zhou is still as smart as before. Do you have a way to help me?"

Zhou Yao smiled faintly: "I have submitted the evidence that General Xie did not collaborate with the enemy and commit treason to the court. It won't be long before he can restore his status."

Gao Zhe stood up suddenly and accidentally knocked over the teacup. The water flowed down the table and was extremely hot when his hand touched it.

He slammed his hands on the table.

"Did your Zhou family return to Beijing just to go against us?"

If the Xie family came back, what would he do? He was already inferior to Xie Gu Zong, and the emperor might give the military power to the Xie family out of guilt.

Zhou Yao stood up to avoid being burned by anger.

"Why are you in such a hurry? As long as you do me a favor, I will naturally find a way to help you seize the military power."

"What help?" Gao Zhe looked up at her.

In his eyes, Zhou Yao was just a legitimate daughter who was a little clever and good at tricks. He didn't expect that after so many years, she seemed like a different person.

Just like Shi Shuang, is it true that girls change a lot when they grow up?

Zhou Yao's eyes sparkled, and she said slowly, "I know you want to go find Xie Wei, take me with you. When you come back, the military seal will definitely appear in Mr. Gao's study in Gao's mansion."

She raised her head confidently, not giving Gao Zhe any chance to refute.

"Heh." Gao Zhe sneered and sat back down. "You still like that loser Xie Wei? He already has a wife."

Hearing this, Zhou Yao just smiled lightly.

He asked back: "As I remember, Shi Shuang likes you, right? Why did you willingly go with Xie Wei?"

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of sparks, neither of them giving in.

After a long while, Gao Zhe tilted his head and drank up the water in the cup. "It's settled. We'll set off tomorrow. It'll be hard on the road, so don't give up, Miss Zhou."

"Goodbye, Mr. Gao." Zhou Yao nodded with a smile.

On the side, Bei Yu said in confusion: "Miss, the master will not let you marry Mr. Xie. Besides, he already has a wife, how can you be his concubine?"

"Don't worry." Zhou Yao patted her hands, "I won't be a concubine."

After Gao Zhe dealt with the matter, he went to Shi Mansion to find Shi Qing.

He said reluctantly, "Qing'er, I have to go out of the courtyard. You have to be good here."

Shi Qing heard that he was going to find them with Zhou Yao.

She looked worried and said, "Can you please not hurt my sister? She is still young and has been through a disaster, so she must be very scared."

"Zhou Yao has submitted evidence, and the emperor will soon announce to the world that they were framed."

Gao Zhe narrowed his eyes and felt anxious. Sooner or later, he would definitely teach that woman a lesson.

he reassured.

"Don't worry, Qing'er, as long as you agree to marry me, I will bring Shi Shuang back to you intact."

A look of panic flashed across Shi Qing's face.

She hurriedly asked, "Can I go with you?"

"No, Qing'er will have a hard time on the road." Gao Zhe refused without thinking.

Shi Qing took a step back, looking lonely, and said distantly: "Then Qing'er will not disturb Mr. Gao and Miss Zhou. I wish Mr. Gao a safe journey."

After that, she turned and left.

"Qing'er!" Gao Zhe panicked and quickly held her hand, "I'll take you with me."

Shi Qing raised the corner of her mouth, and she said gently: "Really? It won't cause you any trouble?"

"Your request has never been a bother to me."

Gao Zhe held her in his arms, his heart softened. How could there be such a wonderful person like Qing'er in the world?

Shi Qing leaned on his shoulder, her hair covering her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

-

Shi Shuang was not idle either.

In the past few days, she has already figured out the economic situation of the town. It is bad, very bad! There is nothing to eat, nothing to play with, and nothing to use.

The only people who patronize the store are flies.

She scratched her head with both hands and looked at the plan on the table. "It's so difficult, so difficult, so difficult..."

"Miss, have a cup of tea and take a rest." Gardenia brought the tea.

Shi Shuang circled several shops on the map. Then she took out some grain seeds, handed them to Gardenia and said.

"Give this to the Third Master and have him plant it all over the village and Kongjia Village."

"But winter is coming soon and they will be frozen." Gardenia said quickly, holding the seeds.

Shi Shuang explained: "This is winter wheat. It can be planted in winter."

"I'll go right away!" Gardenia felt that the seeds in her hand were magical. What would the wheat that could be planted in winter look like?

The wheat is golden yellow.

What about winter? Will it be white and snowy? Will it be covered with snowflakes?

Afterwards, Shi Shuang went out. The country was now facing internal and external troubles, and people everywhere were worried and had no time to take care of business. For them, being alive was already the greatest luck.

War, yes, war!

If the enemy breaks in, how can they resist? When they looked up, they saw the carpenter's shop.

She approached, but no one came.

The carpenter saw Shi Shuang and wondered why she was still wearing a veil. What was so shameful about that? He was obviously stunned for a moment, then stood up and asked, "Girl, what do you need?"

Shi Shuang went straight to the point.

"I want to make a batch of bows and crossbows. Silver and food are easy to come by, but I don't know how good your craftsmanship is."

"Please come in." The carpenter invited the man into the backyard, which was full of wood.

He pushed open a door and pointed at the wooden work on it. "I made all of these. Do you like them?"

Shi Shuang picked one up and looked at it carefully. The details were all well handled.

She praised him, "Your craftsmanship is really good. How about this, you make one for me first. If it's possible, I will communicate the specific quantity with you."

The blueprint was spread out on the table, and the carpenter sighed: "If this is made, it will definitely be an exquisite weapon. I just wonder what you will use it for?"

Shi Shuang's eyes flickered slightly, and she made up an excuse at random.

"Today, the world is in turmoil, and the enemy might break in. If we make something like this, it can also protect our families."

"Oh! Yes." The carpenter nodded.

Shi Shuang handed over three taels of silver and said, "I'll come to inspect it in a few days. If it's OK, we can have a long-term cooperation. However, I hope you don't tell anyone about this."

"I understand. I will keep it a secret." The carpenter nodded and happily took the three taels of silver.

The prices in town are high, and these three taels of silver can probably sustain life for half a month.
