Chapter 339 She was a foxy girl back then
"Before, I worked with everyone in the mining area." Wei Ling smiled faintly, "It's just that today I suddenly found that feeling again. In fact, when I worked in the mining area before, I would think about many things in my mind. But today, I just felt relaxed."
Su Jixiang helped Wei Ling wipe off the mud and water bit by bit, and then scooped up some clean warm water to rinse him off.
"Why is that?" Su Jixiang asked with a smile.
"Because I had to fight for many things in the past." Wei Ling raised his hand and wrapped it around Su Jixiang's hand, and pulled her hand to his chest, spreading her palm and letting her palm press tightly against his heart. "But now, as long as I look up, I see you beside me, and my heart is at peace."
He looked at Su Jixiang's slightly red skin and couldn't help but lean over and kiss her cheek.
"When I see you, I won't think too much about unnecessary things." Wei Ling said with a smile, "But I will think about more necessary things!"
"Don't worry. If we work together, Mangcheng will not be worse than Beijing." Su Jixiang was a smart man and immediately said softly.
"I've made this big move here, even though it's a gift to the Minister of Revenue." Wei Ling lowered his eyes, "but it will definitely attract the attention of other people in the court. His Majesty wants to use me now, so he will turn a blind eye to many things. But I think he is very likely to summon you back to the capital as a pawn to clamp down on me! If that's the case..."
"What do you want?" Su Jixiang asked.
"I really want to rebel!" Wei Ling gritted his teeth and looked up at Su Jixiang.
"The time is not right." Su Jixiang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed. "In another three to five years. Wait until your food base and other things are developed. Wait until I help you open up trade links throughout the North, so that Mangcheng is no longer an isolated island and deserted city. By then, you will have enough confidence and financial resources, and the most important thing is food reserves!"
Although Su Jixiang had long felt that Wei Ling would go this far for him, he had always pretended that it didn't exist until he said it. It was just that everything they did as a couple was to be able to protect themselves if things got out of control.
Today, Wei Ling explained the matter clearly, and Su Jixiang finally felt at ease!
Although the foundation of the north is still weak, what big advantage can Emperor Longchang get? Most of the land in Jiangnan is controlled by Prince Chenliu. Emperor Longchang does not have much spare money and grain. Otherwise, the newly appointed Minister of Revenue would have collected all the autumn harvest and taxes from last year, but Emperor Longchang was still worried.
Isn’t it because of poverty?
In fact, there is not much difference in everyone's foundation.
So Wei Ling was not completely without confidence.
This is also Su Jixiang’s confidence!
"I know, but I'm afraid that man will call you back to Beijing in the near future!" Wei Ling said. "If he really does that, it would hit my weak spot!"
"Then you should act like I'm not that important in front of outsiders. Maybe they won't summon me to the capital so soon!" Su Jixiang said with a smile.
"Madam?" Wei Ling frowned. "You know this is wrong! I can't do this!"
"It's just a little more noise for show." Su Jixiang said with a smile. "I'm not asking you to do anything else." She rolled her eyes at Wei Ling, and saw that he was obviously a little panicked and frightened. "What else do you want to do?"
"I dare not, I dare not!" Wei Ling shook his hands quickly.
He always knew what he wanted, and he also knew that Su Jixiang was different from ordinary women.
A woman like Su Jixiang will not say any roundabout words to make you happy. She is independent, self-reliant, determined and capable. If she says she has given up and no longer likes something, then she has really let go!
Wei Ling would never give Su Jixiang the chance to say these words! Because he understood Su Jixiang!
Wei Ling also knew that what he gave to Su Jixiang was his wholehearted, purest love!
Wei Ling held up Su Jixiang's face and kissed her hard on the cheek. Su Jixiang smiled and pushed his face aside. "You are all wet, stay away from me!" Su Jixiang laughed.
"Madam! We are husband and wife, and we should advance and retreat together!" Wei Ling picked up Su Jixiang, "Madam, you might as well get wet too!"
After saying that, he carried Su Jixiang into the room.
Su Jixiang...
The torture lasted until midnight. Su Jixiang was so hungry that Wei Ling let her go and asked someone to bring her food!
According to the agreement between the two, Su Jixiang and Wei Ling had a big quarrel a few days later.
The quarrel made Wei Ling so angry that he moved to the military camp, and Su Jixiang was punished by Wei Ling to copy scriptures in a separate courtyard!
Wei Ling has always been very protective of Su Jixiang since he married her, so the quarrel between the Marquis and his wife was known to almost everyone in Mangcheng.
Even Zheng Wenxiu and Zhao Xiuwan knew about it.
The two of them even got together specifically for this matter.
"Is the news accurate?" Zheng Wenxiu asked.
"That's right, that's right!" Zhao Xiuwan laughed, "I saw with my own eyes that Su Jixiang was kicked out of the house and sent to the other courtyard. There was only one carriage, and she brought two coachmen and her two maids. She was completely different from her usual self, and her face was so bad! When she saw me, she was like a mouse seeing a cat, she was so embarrassed!"
If it were a normal day, Su Jixiang would definitely be very graceful when seeing Zhao Xiuwan, but this time, Su Jixiang deliberately avoided Zhao Xiuwan.
She knew that the fact that she was punished by Wei Ling to go to the other courtyard would surely cause a sensation in the city, and Zhao Xiuwan, who loved to pry into their family affairs, would not miss any opportunity to see her in a state of excitement, so she deliberately leaked the time when she left the general's mansion to others, so as to attract Zhao Xiuwan to come and see in person.
As expected, the gossipy Zhao Xiuwan is here!
When Zhao Xiuwan learned the news, it was equivalent to the entire Mangcheng knowing the news, and Zheng Wenxiu would also know the news first.
Su Jixiang wanted to use Zheng Wenxiu's mouth to pass this matter back to the capital.
"I was saying that Wei Ling was a well-known young man from a wealthy family in the capital, how could he be bewitched by a lowly palace maid?" Zheng Wenxiu couldn't help but smile with her hands covering her lips.
Wei Ling was such a handsome man that everyone in the Eastern Capital knew him.
Even though she was still young at that time, she had heard many noble ladies talking about Wei Ling!
"It's just that Su Jixiang relied on her pretty face!" Zhao Xiuwan said disdainfully, as if she had let out a grudge, "You don't know that Su Jixiang's seductive appearance attracted the attention of Concubine Chen at the time, and she was almost taken away to consolidate her favor. If it weren't for the Queen who stopped her, the deposed emperor might have had another vixen by his side! But she was destined to be poor! She was taken to the imperial kitchen to chop firewood! Do you think she deserved it or not?"
