Chapter 562: Cranes and clams fight (2)

Chen Yuan was very satisfied with the look of this woman. The woman exuded the smell of a typical Korean beauty. What's more, *** didn't have the technology for plastic surgery yet, so it should be pure natural. He slowly got up and a smile appeared on his face: "What's your name?"

The woman gave a little blessing according to the etiquette of the Song Dynasty: "My name is Park Hye-ling. I wonder if the lord can tell his name? When our prince comes back, I can report it."

Chen Yuan looked at her carefully: "My name is Chen Shimei, I am not an adult. Tell your prince. When he comes back, let him go and find me. He knows how to find me."

Park Hye-ling gave another gift: "Yes."

Chen Yuan left, and before leaving, he looked back at her, his eyes full of smiles. The smile made Park Hye-ling suddenly feel a chill hit her heart. She suddenly had an illusion that she seemed to be a lonely sheep on the empty grassland, and what the other party shot was a wolf's gaze.

Chen Yuan left after he finished speaking.

Wang Hui has not come to see him until now, which means he has not taken himself seriously as a prince-consort with no official position. This is his personality. When you are using you, you are his grandfather. When you are not using you, you can throw you as far as you can.

After leaving the post station and boarding his own carriage, Chen Yuan said to Han Qi: "Let's go to the villa and let Xia Sui come here, and I'll say I have something to do with him."

Xia Sui is now a first-rank Doctor Xuanzheng.

In the past few years in Western Xinjiang, he achieved remarkable political achievements. With Chen Yuan's financial support, he not only restored the stability of Western Xinjiang, but also used the second-line soldiers to reclaim wasteland, making Western Xinjiang a major grain-producing area in the Song Dynasty. Not only did he not need relief from the court, but he also had a lot of surplus grain in the warehouse every year.

Moreover, after the Dangxiang was destroyed, the Silk Road was once again connected, and Western Xinjiang had become a major channel for land transactions in the Song Dynasty. Although it was not as rich as the Jiangnan, it also won the title of Jiangnan outside the Great Wall.

So he became a first-rank official in the court with just a legitimate reputation. But when Han Qi came to tell him that Chen Yuan was going to see him, Xia Sui put down some trivial matters, immediately stepped onto the carriage, and followed Han Qi all the way to Crescent Mountain Villa.

"Shopkeeper, are you looking for me?" Xia Sui sat down next to Chen Yuan after coming in. He was not polite, so he picked up the teacup and poured a glass of water himself.

Chen Yuan waited until he finished drinking and said, "It's nothing big. I just want to know what those *** people come for and what they have done in Bianjing recently."

Xia Sui said: "That Wang Hui said that during the Chinese New Year, they were busy with wars and did not come to communicate with the Song Dynasty. I haven't done anything recently, just visiting some important officials in the court and traveling around the mountains and rivers. The emperor asked Lord Ouyang to accompany Wang Hui and take him to visit some places in Bianjing."

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, and he felt a little strange. Logically speaking, *** and *** are fighting fiercely now. Why are they still in the mood to travel around? Intuition tells Chen Yuan that something might have happened that he didn't know.

There are no telephones or telegrams in this era, so where messages will not be transmitted back so quickly? Chen Yuan is now thinking whether he should make some preparations for changes.

Xia Sui saw Chen Yuan thinking, but he didn't plan to do it. After sitting for a long time, she knew that Chen Yuan looked up and let out a breath, Xia Sui asked: "Shopkeeper, is there something wrong with it?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "Our plan may be changing. I am sure that the Goguryeo prince looks so leisurely. It may be that they are sure to end the war, and we must know what they rely on."

Xia Sui thought for a moment: "Sending someone to see is a waste of time. Let's send a letter to Chen Sheng, and then go find Wang Hui tomorrow to try to find out their words."

Chen Yuan said: "I have already asked him to come, but I am not in office now. I don't know if he will give me face. You can go and have an appointment for me. I will invite him here at noon tomorrow."

What exactly are these *******s fighting? Chen Yuan has been paying attention to the wars over the past few years. He knows that the losses of the **** people are much higher than those of Japan. If he had not controlled the transportation of materials to Japan, the **** would not have been able to support it until now.

Why are they so leisurely? What kind of support do they have? Chen Yuan really can't guess.

The Wang Hui obviously did not take the face of his son-in-law. Wang Hui came to get in touch with the important officials of the Song Dynasty this time. Chen Yuan had already left the court, and Wang Hui did not know how powerful his power was.

So at first, after hearing the news that Chen Yuan was looking for him, he just responded casually, intending to wait until he had time to check it out. It was not until the famous post that Xia Sui sent, and Wang Hui came to the Crescent Villa with Ouyang Xiu at noon the next day.

Chen Yuan did not express any displeasure at all about this and was waiting for them early. After seeing Wang Hui get off the carriage, he raised a smile on his face and greeted him: "The prince is coming and makes the shop shine brightly. I am honored, Prince, please come inside."

Wang Hui nodded at Chen Yuan very proudly, his expression full of contempt. They had never learned anything else from the Song Dynasty, but they learned the pride of the scholars and officials. Wang Ju was a little embarrassed after following him, but seeing that there was no unhappiness on Chen Yuan's face, he didn't pay attention.

Ouyang Xiu was indeed very politely clasped his fists at Chen Yuanyi: "Mr. Prince Consort, is the business good recently?"

Chen Yuan laughed: "Thank you for the blessing of Lord Ouyang, the Song Dynasty is now prosperous and the people are safe, and my small business is getting more and more smooth."

Ouyang Xiu pointed him with a folding fan in his hand: "Small book deal? The prince consort is too modest."

Chen Yuan didn't care about Wang Hui's attitude, and welcomed them into the room behind. After serving some tea and snacks, Chen Yuan personally poured a cup of Wang Hui: "I invite the prince today to reminisce about the past. I remember when I first met the prince, I was a prince consort. Now I still heard that the prince has become the crown prince, and it really makes people ashamed. I have wasted these years."

Ouyang Xiu glanced at Chen Yuan. He still knew some of the people Chen Shimei. He knew that the more respect Chen Shimei was, the more you should be careful. What he wanted to say, at least he thought he should know what Chen Shimei was going to do.

The emperor asked him to greet the prince well. If Chen Shimei really did anything, she would not be able to take it.

Just as he was about to make a sound, Xia Sui kicked him gently below. Ouyang Xiu swallowed the words on his mouth again, staring at Chen Yuan, hoping to find the answer in Chen Yuan's face.

Wang Hui was very happy after hearing Chen Shimei's words: "Your son-in-law doesn't have to be humble. I know that you have been doing a lot of business recently. Just in our Goguryeo war, all of those ships came from your son-in-law's shipyard. Your Emperor of the Song Dynasty was your backer. I think you will be a wealthy person in the future."

On the other hand, Wang Ju's face was blowing with sweat. He had been in the Song Dynasty for several years. Wang Hui didn't know Chen Yuan's ability, but he was very clear. Wang Ju had advised Wang Hui long ago that Chen Shimei was a person in the Song Dynasty and must not ignore him.

But Wang Hui did not take this advice seriously. Even though Chen Shimei stood in front of him today, he was still so arrogant. Wang Ju was determined to persuade him, but she was afraid that she would offend her future emperor. Without saying a word, she was also afraid that Chen Shimei would be angry.

In the blink of an eye, the dishes were served. Two Song Dynasty singers sat beside him and sang softly to help the several people. After three rounds of wine, Chen Yuan looked at Wang Hui with his somewhat hazy eyes: "Your Highness, I have something to ask your highness for help. I wonder if it is appropriate to say it now?"

Xia Sui, who was standing beside him, cooperated and said: "Mr. Prince, please tell me first. The prince is also a generous person. If he can help, the prince will definitely not refuse."

A high hat stuck Wang Hui, and Wang Hui nodded: "Yes, you say it first. If I can do anything else, I should help you even if you invite me two drinks. What is this called in the Song Dynasty? Is it a ritual exchange?"

Chen Yuan laughed, and Xia Sui laughed at him.

Ouyang Xiu wanted to laugh too, but he felt that he laughed out loud. Chen Yuan said: "It's just a small matter for the prince. Next month I have a batch of goods to go to ***. That batch of goods is very precious. The war between *** and Japan really makes me feel a little worried. I don't know if the prince can send a navy warship to protect it? Prince, don't worry, I will never lose to the navy's brother."

When Wang Hui heard this, he immediately said, "So that's it. This is indeed a trivial matter. You may not have to ask me for help. Next month, the war between us and the Japanese people will end. At that time, the ships should be able to travel freely."

Chen Yuan looked overjoyed when he heard this: "Really? Will it end next month?"

Wang Hui felt that his words were suspected and slightly unhappy: "How can I say false? The Japanese have sent envoys to ask us for peace. Just when I came, their warships had already returned to Japan. We are considering asking them how much compensation they would be appropriate this time."

Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat and he stared at Wang Hui blankly. Xiao *** surrendered? How could this be possible? Kublai Khan gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to suppress them and they did not surrender. In the end of World War II, they shouted that they would not surrender. At this time, they would agree to surrender? It is impossible, absolutely impossible.

Wang Hui looked at his expression and clearly saw that Chen Yuan did not believe what he said. He was very angry at the moment and hung the anger on his face. If it weren't for Ouyang Xiu and Xia Sui's face, he would have really left with Buddha's sleeves.

Chen Yuan had no one in his head. Before the banquet was finished, he stood up: "Your Highness, you drink slowly here. I'll go out and have something to do, so I won't be with you."

This attitude was extremely rude in the etiquette of the Song Dynasty. If Wang Hui came to Chen Yuan to drink and as the boss came to have a drink, then there would be no problem leaving now. But now it was Chen Yuan treating him and he threw Wang Hui here, which made Wang Hui feel extremely insulted.

Before Chen Yuan could go out, he stood up angrily: "Since the son-in-law is busy, I won't bother you anymore, just say goodbye."

Wang Ju and Ouyang Xiu also wanted to smooth things over, but Wang Hui walked out without looking back, so they had to keep up.

When Wang Ju was leaving, he clasped his fists at Chen Yuanyi, but Ouyang Xiu said in anger: "Shimei, where are you singing this!"

Chen Yuan ignored him. He needed a cleaner environment. Since Wang Hui left, he didn't have to leave anymore. He slowly sat down: "I want something."

Ouyang Xiu glared at him, sighed and turned around and went out. Only Chen Yuan and Xia Sui were left in the room. Xia Shu turned his head and said, "What's wrong, the shopkeeper?"

Chen Yuan looked very depressed: "We are not ready yet, the supplies are not complete, and the military training is not good, but their war is really about to end."

Xia Sui was stunned: "Does *** really win the battle?"
