28: Decline to marry Feng Junran(1/2)
Ten years ago, when Fengguo and Miluo Kingdom fought, scandal broke out in the army. Most of the military rations supplied to soldiers were moldy and rotten, and many of them were mixed with gravel and rice husks.
The soldiers worked hard on the front line, but they were worse than pigs and dogs. The impact they had was imagined. Hundreds of soldiers jointly sued, and the morale of the army was disintegrated.
When Emperor Xuanfeng learned about it, he was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. In a thousand ways, he found that he was related to the Feng family.
That time, the Feng family was facing a catastrophe. However, what is surprising is that a small official with a big sesame pleaded guilty and was saved, and the Feng family was saved.
Feng Sinian understood the reason because Feng Junran made many extraordinary achievements in the army.
After that incident, the Feng family was seriously injured and Feng Sinian calmed down for several years.
Now, Feng Shaotian and Feng Shaoan have repeated the same mistakes and have once again set off the idea of military rations.
But the official Feng Shaotian bribed money for money was targeted by the history of supervision, and in order to protect himself, he bit this incident.
Feng Sinian sent Feng Shaoan to deal with the matter and almost died. Feng Junran found out that someone was causing trouble and insisted on the Feng family. I don’t know which enemy it was.
Therefore, the Feng family now has bright surfaces, but in fact there are many crises. If you are not careful, the foundation established in decades may collapse instantly.
Feng Sinian hopes that Feng Junran will marry Kang An'an as soon as possible. Nalan Zongliang has close contacts with King Jingnan. If the two families become in-laws, he will definitely not let the Feng family fall into danger and ignore it.
Once the in-laws of the two families change, let alone let Nalan Zongliang help, he will thank God if he doesn't add fuel to the fire.
This is also because he would rather let Madam Mei take medicine to kill her grandson than let Kang Anan stop Feng Junran and Nalan Yunfei from getting married.
Fortunately, Madam Mei did not succeed, otherwise the Feng family and Nalan family would have been enemies for generations.
Kang Anan looked at everyone with expectations or curious eyes, knowing that this question could no longer be avoided. She didn't want to respond in one go, let Feng Sinian get what he wanted, and the Feng family was like a tiger, and could not veto it, because she was not strong yet and had not yet come to turn against the Feng family.
"My grandfather is not yet awake, and I really have no intention of thinking about other things. When I returned to the mansion, I decided to take care of my grandfather myself and fulfill his filial piety in his lifetime!"
The seemingly perfect answer actually pushed the marriage between the two to an indefinite period. What if Nalan Zongliang couldn't wake up for a while, wouldn't Kang An'an stay in Nalan Mansion forever?
Feng Sinian's face was not very good after hearing Kang An'an's words. He knew exactly what Kang An'an thought. Wasn't it just because he had a new identity as the heir of the Nalan family? Pretending to be pretentious? If the Feng family was not going to be imprisoned, many people did not know the direction of the wind, and they were watching around with the mentality of onlookers, and were also watching Ran'er's future. Therefore, no one dared to marry the Feng family at this critical moment, for fear of being implicated. With these words Kang An'an said, with his former personality, he would immediately break off contact with Ran'er and Nalan family.
Feng Sinian was resentful, but there was a smile on his face, and even a layer of emotion was covered in words, "An An filial piety, the blessing of Zong Liang!"
After saying that, he stood up and said to the others, "It's getting late, let's go back!"
The key purpose of this trip has been achieved. If he stays there, his old face will not be able to hold back.
"Old man, old lady, let's have a meal before leaving. I've come here from such a long distance!" Nalan Yunye politely persuaded him, and the truth and falsehood were written on his face.
Feng Sinian waved his hand, "No need! I have something to do when I return to my house!"
Nalan Yunye was pretending to persuade him, but when he heard Mr. Feng's words, he sighed repeatedly, "One day when my grandfather wakes up, Ye will definitely visit him in person!"
Kang Anan and Nalan Yunye sent Mr. Feng and others outside the mansion, smiling politely and distantly, but never dared to look at Feng Junran from beginning to end.
...
The days that followed were fulfilling and busy. Kang Anan locked himself in Nalan Zongliang's study every day to study information about the Nalan family's business. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask him when he visited Nalan Zongliang.
Nalan Zongliang felt very distressed when he looked at Kang Anan who was getting thinner and thinner. Sometimes he asked her to share more business matters with Nalan Yunye.
Nalan Zongliang was very impressed by Nalan Yunye, and Kang Anan always felt that this man was a mystery. Nalan Zongliang believed him, but she didn't believe it. She was just because she was not familiar with many matters and needed Nalan Yunye's assistance in handling it.
Nalan Yunye seemed very happy to teach her anything. It can be said that she knew everything about her questions, which made Kang Anan very puzzled. Could it be that Nalan Yunye was really willing to give in to others?
On this day, Nalan Yunye prepared a carriage and prepared to take Kangan'an to inspect several ship routes closer to Nalan Mansion.
Kang An'an has always been talking on paper, holding the letters sent every day and approving them at the suggestion of Nalan Yunye. She felt like a puppet. She had long wanted to go down and see if the actual operation was the same as the one written on the information.
Kang Anan walked out of the mansion with Nalan Yunye and saw a luxurious carriage and two teams following outside the carriage. They were so powerful and quite high-profile. This scene reminded her of Murong Yuntian.
"We need to bring so many people?" Kang Anan frowned and expressed dissatisfaction.
What she thought about was a visit in a concealed manner so that she could get the most real information. What could she find when traveling with such a big fanfare? It would only make people mistakenly think that she was just a wasteful and ignorant lady, and she did superficial skills!
This man really has no kindness. The first time he visited her, he wanted her to leave a bad impression on everyone. He really thought she was stupid and easy to fool?
"What do you mean by the lady?" Nalan Yunye stood beside her, speaking coldly, with a clear mockery in his amber eyes. He seemed to know what she was thinking, but he looked like he was idle and was out of the way.
This made Kang Anan turn from dissatisfaction to anger. She opened her lips and said directly to the two teams, "Apart from the coachman, you all retreat!"
The willow eyebrows were slightly frowned, the little face was tense, and the eyes were as bright as the morning sun. The posture of speaking seemed to be a family member.
When the two teams heard Kang An'an's words, they did not leave immediately. Instead, they turned their eyes to Nalan Yunye. The reaction was exactly the same as Manager Liu, as if the man in white was their leader.
Nalan Yunye looked at Kang An'an's serious look, and a look of laughter and cry appeared on his face, "Isn't you really leaving any one?"
"We are going to visit privately, not to visit. There are too many people and too big goals, which makes it easy for people to notice!" Kang Anan answered with confidence, his clear eyes were glaring at Nalan Yunye, and there was persistence inside.
"Do you think it's safe outside and you're safe?" Nalan Yunye raised his eyebrows, and his voice was obviously impatient. "The goal is big, you are safe now, do you understand?"
Kang Anan faced Nalan Yunye's gaze. To be honest, she didn't understand at first, but now she understood. She nodded and seemed to compromise reluctantly, "It's okay to let them follow, but to stay away from me, I need to see the real situation!"
"You guys go back!" Nalan Yunye raised his eyelids, but did not pay attention to Kang An'an. After saying that, he walked straight towards a brown horse, turned over and jumped on, and walked forward leisurely.
Kang Anan knew that Nalan Yunye was dissatisfied with her attitude and couldn't say anything, so he got on the carriage with Baoer's support.
Kang Anan and Nalan Yunye went along the Guanju River outside Xiangzhou City. When Kang Anan arrived, Nalan Yunye had arrived. He stood on the shore and stood with his hands behind his back. The person in charge of the line, Kang Anan had learned about this person in advance, and was named Li Sheng.
Li Sheng nodded and said something to Nalan Yunye, with a flattering smile on his face.
Nalan Yunye's expression was faint from beginning to end, without any extra expression, as if he was listening, and as if he was not listening, giving people a feeling of incomprehensibility.
Kang An'an glanced around and decided to go separate from Nalan Yunye.
Li Sheng recognized Nalan Yunye, but she might not necessarily recognize her. If she was with Nalan Yunye, Li Sheng would definitely be able to guess her identity. In this way, this trip would be in vain.
She told Baoer to wait in the carriage, bypass dozens of merchant ships, and walk slowly along the coastline alone.
A crew member saw a pregnant woman with a big belly appearing at the dock, and the pregnant woman was so beautiful that she couldn't help but put down her work, pretended to wipe her sweat, and took a sneak peek.
Kang Anan ignored this, and she walked to a crew member and started chatting with him.
From the crew members, they knew that they had a clear division of labor. There were so many people here, not all of them were from the Nalan family, most of them were casual workers. Only those who traveled with merchant ships belonged to the Nalan family employees.
The work content of Nalan's employees is stable and their wages are twice as high as those of a single worker, so many people want to become formal members.
However, there are also benefits of random work. You can work freely. You just need to wait for the captain to pick people at a fixed location every day. If you don’t want to work today, you can stop coming.
Kang Anan looked at the noisy pier like a market and felt something was wrong.
It was not early when she and Nalan Yunye came here. It was almost noon. According to the crew, the workers who could be sent had been sent out long ago. Why were there so many people squatting there waiting?
When she accidentally raised this question to the crew, the crew smiled mysteriously and did not answer.
The more the crew members were like this, the more uneasy Kang Anan became. She thought for a while and said to the crew members, "Brother, my husband has been idle for a while and wants to be a casual worker. I happened to be here today, so I asked him when it would be best to come to the dock to wait for work?"
"It's usually the morning. If you are lucky, you can encounter a day like today. You can't say that you are lucky. You can only say that you are not afraid of death. You can try taking these jobs today, and the reward is several times higher than usual!"
"You mean those who are waiting there are people who are not afraid of death? Then what kind of goods are they going to receive? Isn't it very dangerous?" Kang An'an opened his eyes wide in surprise.
She was already petite and cute, and her reaction was a little timid and curious, which stimulated the male hormone secretion. The male crew member looked at it and immediately raised his chest and pretended to say, "A woman like you, who is in the deep boudoir, must not know what is in this guy today!"
"What else can I load? At most, it is some precious goods. It is valuable for a large family. The transportation and porters will definitely be expensive!"
The male crew member looked around and approached Kang An'an, smelling the beautiful fragrance of the girl, and his voice became thick, "Yan Ni!".
Kang Anan resisted the urge to take a step back and hid his hand on his nose. After the man said these two words, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Yan Ni?"
"You... know?" The crew member saw Kang Anan's reaction and thought she knew what Yan Ni was. This thing was transmitted from his mouth. If the woman's big mouth was affected, he became more and more afraid. The more she thought about it, the more the male hormone she had just secreted suddenly decreased. "Don't tell anyone!".
"What is Yan Ni?" Kang Anan asked back with a false question. In fact, she knew, but she pretended not to know. She pretended to be too similar, so awkwardly flashed across the crew's face.
"It's just a very expensive thing!" The crew secretly wiped their sweat.
"Thank you, brother, I'll go back and tell my husband!" Kang Anan smiled and thanked him, turned around and left, and the thoughts kept echoing in his mind.
Flame and salt are prohibited items. Because of their high risk factor, they are mostly controlled by the court. Even if the Nalan family is qualified to transport such goods, during the transportation process, the court guards will follow up and supervise the entire process. They will never be transported along the water route as secretly as they are now!
Because the crew members were wary just now, Kang Anan felt that he could not find out more useful information, so he prepared to go to the group of people who were sitting or standing to search.
She had just walked two steps when she suddenly heard a commotion behind her and vaguely heard the rumor of "a girl fell into the water".
She didn't want to pay attention to it, but when she turned her eyes accidentally, touching the green color in the river, her heart was suddenly tightened, and she couldn't stand any thoughts, so she ran over.
...
Nalan Yunye listened casually to Li Sheng's report, glanced at the ship passing through the river, and finally settled on several oil tankers covered with black paint, narrowing his eyes slightly, and a strange light flashed.
He looked at the sun above his head, calculated the time, and felt that Kang Anan should have been here, so he interrupted Li Sheng and turned to search. As expected, he saw that the carriage Kang Anan was riding was parked aside, and the coachman leaned against the shelf and was dozing.
When he arrived, he didn't get out of the car to look for him. It was not like Kang An'an's style. Nalan Yunye stared at him and jumped to the carriage. He pulled open the curtain with his big hand. Only Baoer sat there, holding the hand warmer, and was dazed happily.
When Baoer saw that it was Nalan Yunye, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, his little face looked shy.
"Where is the lady?" Nalan Yunye looked gentle and frowned at Baoer with a narrow look.
"The lady said she was walking around and asked Baoer to stay in the carriage and wait for her!" Baoer had never spoken to Nalan Yunye so alone, and was still so close. When the fake lady was there, no maid dared to approach Mr. Ye. Anyone who had a fool of himself was kicked out of the mansion. So, she never dared to imagine this scene. Once it came, she was so surprised that she was confused, "Have you not seen the lady? Baoer went to look for it!"
"It's really a brainless thing, what's the use for you?" Nalan Yunye pulled up the corner of his right mouth, his smile was not as smooth as usual, with indescribable evil and weirdness.
Baoer suddenly felt a sense of coldness spreading to her back to her body. She stared at her and was about to kowtow and beg for mercy, but Nalan Yunye grabbed her chin. The man's hands were fair and slender, which looked better than the woman's, but had a lot of strength.
"Look at me!" Nalan Yunye spoke with a clear voice.
When Baoer heard this sound, he raised his eyes obediently and bumped into a pair of ice-colored eyes at first glance. She stared at her infatuation and could no longer move.
"Miss is in the river, go find her!" After Nalan Yunye said that, he let go of his hand in disgust, took out a towel and wiped his fingers carefully, and threw them away.
"Yes!" Baoer nodded and walked straight towards the riverside.
