After becoming the king of the subjugated country

Even though he felt that Ji Chen's words were a little bit wrong, Qin Sheng was still a little happy to hear Ji Chen's praise, so he continued to modify his plan, and by the way, he called the manager of Zhuangzi that he had been assigned.

The steward at the side was sweating profusely from the question, and even pulled a few more people out of the village to answer Qin Sheng's questions continuously.

It is as small as how many chickens and ducks each family raises, as large as how many roads there are in the village, and how each road is designed, all of which are included.

Bai Qi was thinking carefully about how to use this matter to gain fame and help Duan Wang gain enough presence among the literati.

Ji Shao and Ning Wenzheng discussed something in a low voice, and smiled at each other from time to time.

After Ji Chen finished eating the melons, he cracked a lot of melon seeds, and then went out for a walk with the pigeons.

When it was dusk, Bai Qi picked up a pile of manuscript paper in front of him, "Wrote six poems and four poems, plus two fu, first use these to make a name for yourself, and if there are not enough, then we will find a way."

Ning Wenzheng and Ji Shao have already listed the specific account data in detail, including the extra budget, and they have allocated nearly an hour of calculation.

Qin Sheng stood up and stretched his muscles and bones, "This is really tiring."

Ji Chen walked in slowly from the outside, hugging the pigeon to keep it from moving, "Yeah, I'm tired too, this pigeon has been too lively since it entered Zhuangzi, it doesn't look like I'm taking it for a walk, it's just it Pull me forward."

Qin Sheng: "..."

Ji Shao: "..."

Ning Wenzheng: "..."

Only Bai Qi could still look normal, and brought Ji Chen a cup of tea to let him have a good rest.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were not right, Ji Chen finally realized, "You are also tired, why don't we take a rest together. Manager, quickly serve some snacks and fruits."

After reluctantly resting for a while, everyone went back home one after another, deciding to officially start tomorrow.

On the way, Qin Sheng had something to do, so he left first, and the rest of the people sent Ning Wenzheng back to Ning Mansion first.

The two stone lions stood silently at the gate of the Ning Mansion. The gatekeeper saw the carriage with the family logo on it and quickly opened the gate.

The officer in brown clothes said: "Welcome the girl back home."

After finishing speaking, the steward in brown clothes bowed to Ji Chen and the others again, "Master heard that King Duan and the Eldest Princess invited the girl to have a gathering, so he asked me to wait here, and would like to invite King Duan to come into the mansion and sit down for a while."

Ji Chen looked at Bai Qi, Bai Qi shook his head, obviously unwilling to get out of the car, he smoothed out the wrinkles on Ji Chen's clothes, "I'll wait for you here."

Ji Chen said: "Okay, I will do it as soon as possible."

In the main hall, Ning Yuan had been waiting for a long time, he respectfully invited Ji Chen to take his seat, and said enthusiastically: "My husband is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he is busy with government affairs these days. It is really rude not to be able to congratulate King Duan on his palace opening these days."

Ji Chen said: "Master Ning is polite."

Ning Yuan introduced the young man on the other side, "This is my eldest son Ning Wenyi, and today this old man has the audacity to bring him here to meet King Duan."

The young man saluted Ji Chen immediately.

Ning Yuan came back and forth, but he praised Ji Chen, "I heard from the Prime Minister that Prince Duan has excellent conduct, he is free and easy, and he is quick-witted. He is really Zhilan Yushu."

Ji Chen kept smiling and sat still.

He was sure that the prime minister knew his true character, and he didn't have the face to complain, so he just flattered him a few words.

Ning Yuan's eyes flickered, "Speaking of which, Empress, oh, it's too late to be called Mrs. Jingchen now. Mrs. Mrs. used to have a lot of flaws. Now that she has reached the crown of a king, her marriage has not yet been decided. As the saying goes, a man should start a family and start a career. Now King Duan is considered to have a career, but he has not yet married, so it is inevitable that he will be alone."

Ji Chen was taken aback, "This matter—"

Before he could speak, he was interrupted.

"Father!" Ning Wenzheng pushed open the door with a high tone.

Probably out of anger, the butterfly hairpin on Ning Wenzheng's head couldn't help shaking.

The steward hurriedly closed the door, not daring to stay here any longer, and took away all the serving servants.

"You promised me, let me think about it again." Ning Wenzheng ignored Ji Chen and just looked directly at Ning Yuan.

"You are presumptuous!" Ning Yuan slapped the table, and the teacup on the table shook immediately.

In his forties, he does not look old, and his red-purple official robes reveal his years of prestige, "You can't say anything about the orders of your parents and the words of your matchmaker."

Ning Wenzheng bowed to Ji Chen, managed to remain calm, and said, "Now is the period of national filial piety. Although I am not talented, I dare not make an exception, let alone marry."

Could Ning Yuan know that during the national filial piety period, marriage cannot be discussed?Of course he knows!

But now Ning Wenzheng is more than eighteen, and when the national filial piety is over, he will be nineteen, plus looking for candidates, he will be twenty when he gets engaged.

At the age of twenty, there are fewer and fewer people who can choose.

Ning Wenyi just frowned, "Sister, we are also for you."

Ning Wenzheng also showed a bit of pleading in his eyes, "The life at home is the best now, I just want to keep it like this."

Ning Yuan sighed deeply, he seemed to be about ten years older, "You made King Duan laugh at me. My eldest girl usually goes out with me, so she must have acted a little boldly, so I hope King Duan will not blame you."

What can he do if his daughter doesn't want to?

It's just that he really didn't know why Ning Wenzheng was unwilling.

King Duan has already been crowned king, if the Ning family contributes a little more, and if he helps with activities, there may be a fief in the future, and he can hold important positions in the court.As long as Ning Wenzheng is married, she will be Concubine Duan, a first-rank imperial wife, and no one needs to kneel except the queen.

If it weren't for the 72nd concubine of the Sixth Court of the Three Palaces of the Imperial Palace, plus the fact that the prince is not very good, and the princess has someone else, Ning Yuan insisted on helping his daughter to earn the position of princess and make Ning Wenzheng the queen of a country. All the honor.

Ji Chen had no choice but to say a few words of persuasion, but he just smiled and said, "Master Shangshu, why should you worry too much? In the past and present, there is a competition for the title of a female, who said that a beauty is not a marquis[1]. Miss Ning has read a lot of poetry and books, and she will have a world of her own in the future. Even now, my Zhuangzi can't live without Miss Ning's guidance."

In the novel, two years later, foreign enemies moved from north to south and attacked near the capital, and the last emperor fled in a hurry.Qin Sheng has long been demoted to southern Fujian, the Qin family has disappeared, Bai Qi guards the south beyond his reach, Ji Shao was sent abroad by his marriage and has not yet returned, and the rest of the protagonists are scattered all over the place.

At that time, it was this Ning Wenzheng, the eldest daughter of the Ning family, who was responsible for the situation in the capital.She did not go to the battlefield in person, but relied on what she had learned all her life to supervise the construction of defense equipment, dispatch it up and down, and command it properly.

Ning Wenzheng's eyes were slightly red, and he bowed deeply, "Thank you, Prince Duan."

"Miss Ning is polite," Ji Chen turned sideways.

Ning Wenzheng was silent for a while, and said: "If father still doesn't believe me, why don't you wait for me for another year. I will definitely make some achievements. If I can get the compliments from the three ministers or the prime minister in the court, then I will count on my father." Forgive me once, and my marriage will be decided by myself."

After all, Ning Yuan didn't want to push Ning Wenzheng too far, seeing that the conditions were quite reasonable, "Okay, I'll give you another year."

a year.

Three ministers.

And also compliments.

Not surprisingly, this has been a particularly difficult road.

Ning Wenzheng quickly agreed, even impatiently, a few bright smiles appeared on his face, and the sadness just now disappeared, "Okay, high-five."

Ning Yuan was taken aback, suddenly an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

Ning Wenzheng urged the two to clap three times, and invited Ji Chen and Ning Wenyi as witnesses.

Ji Chen suddenly felt that the tea in his hand was not fragrant.

In the morning, Qin Sheng said that he would use the mud bricks to rebuild the Great Wall or the dams of the Yellow River. In the past, these projects were restricted by the lack of money in the treasury. If the mud bricks are good enough, it will be enough to make them all famous in history. .

……

Does this count as cheating?

Ning Wenyi sent Ji Chen out, with a smile on his face, and he did not forget to say to Ji Chen: "This time, we were the ones who were rude to His Royal Highness Duan, and we will come to make amends at another day. Now it is time to persuade my sister Appropriate, presumably after a year, she will be able to retreat in the face of difficulties."

Ji Chen's eyes became more complicated, "...Yes, that's right."

I hope you can still laugh out loud a year from now.

Bai Qi kept looking out of the carriage, waiting for Ji Chen to come back.

Ji Shao held a cup of tea, "Wait a while, Ning Shangshu probably has something to say to my second brother."

"What's there to say?" Bai Qi was a little impatient.

"There's not much to talk about," Ji Chen finally got into the carriage, "He just wanted to talk about kissing."

The carriage swayed and walked forward, but the atmosphere of the three people in the carriage suddenly stiffened.

Bai Qi's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Ji Shao was also extremely nervous, "Second brother, after you get married, you won't become like the old emperor, right?"

The old emperor used to be famous, but he fell in love with Empress Song at first sight, and then he abolished his original spouse. Empress Song then killed several children in front of the old emperor, making the prince the eldest son, and throwing Ji Chen and Ji Shao away. Entering the cold palace, these things became Ji Shao's psychological shadow for the rest of his life.

Ji Chen said, "Neither Miss Ning nor I want to, and I definitely won't get married in the next few years."

He is about to become the king of subjugation, so why marry?Is it pulling others to perish together?Still thinking about having a companion on the road to Huangquan?

After getting a satisfactory answer, Ji Shao heaved a sigh of relief, covered his mouth and yawned, "Second brother, I'm not saying that it's not good for you to get married, but I want to be mentally prepared first, so I'll go see this second brother Sister-in-law, see if you can pay a few points."

"Are you sleepy? You don't seem to be in a good mood today," Ji Chen asked with concern.

Ji Shao suddenly coughed violently, "No, no, it's just that I haven't slept well recently."

When a girl grows up, she always has something on her mind.

Ji Chen didn't ask too much.

Bai Qi grabbed Ji Chen's hand, "Ji Chen, Prince Duan...what kind of person do you like?"

Ji Chen was taken aback.

Bai Qi quickly added, "No, I just think Miss Ning is pretty good too, but since you don't like it, it must be because you like other people, or like other characters or appearances..."

The more Bai Qi talked, the more nervous he became. It seemed that all his talents in the past were useless.

Ji Shao also moved closer, his eyes sparkled, wanting to listen to gossip.

Do you want Xiaojiabiyu?Or are you ladies?

Ji Chen held the teacup, took a sip of tea, and started to fool around, "I like it, I hope it has a white body, a gentle voice, and looks don't need to be too good, as long as I can look pleasing to the eye."

Ji Shao looked dull.

Ji Chen continued: "You don't need to be too clingy, but you must be clingy to me. Be more obedient on weekdays."

Bai Qi kept frowning in thought, and clenched the cup in his hand.

Ji Chen hugged the pigeon again, and comforted it, "It needs to be able to fly higher, with a graceful posture."

Ji Shao: "..."

If you want to be Princess Duan, do you have to learn to fly to the sky first?

Click.

The cup in Bai Qi's hand had been shattered into pieces, and the tea flowed out from between his fingers.

The author has something to say:

[1] In the present and ancient times, there is a struggle to pass on the head of a woman, who says that a beauty is not a marquis.The Ma family's wife and the Shen family's daughter were once famous and famous in Kyushu. ——Qiu Jin.
