Hearing Luo Fengtang's words, Yang Ruoqing smiled again, "The male protagonist is outside and the female protagonist is inside. Don't worry about the prince's wedding gift. I will take care of it."

"Although this is my first time giving gifts to the royal family and I am inexperienced, it doesn't matter. I will ask Wan Qingchun later to refer to the gift standards of the Duke's Palace and make some additions or subtractions as appropriate!" she said.

Luo Fengtang's heart dropped, and he sighed: "It's great to have a wife. She takes care of this place in order, and I have some free time."

Then, he reached out his hand and pulled her over, letting her sit sideways on his lap.

She put her arms around his neck and said, "You didn't take any time off, you did something earth-shattering!"

"If you hadn't done these earth-shattering things, I wouldn't even have had the opportunity to give gifts to the royal family!"

she said again.

Luo Fengtang was happy, and raised his hand to gently grasp Yang Ruoqing's chin.

"You praise me so hard?" he asked.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Because my man deserves this compliment!"

Luo Fengtang also laughed, and he told her word for word: "Don't worry, Qing'er, I will definitely work harder for you as a man, and I will ensure that you have more face in front of others, and that you will be tougher when you speak and act!"

Yang Ruoqing said quickly: "Don't, I don't like a hard waist. I am very satisfied with the soft waist I have now."

Luo Fengtang was stunned for a moment, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, their foreheads gently touching each other, enjoying the warmth of their world.

While Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were enjoying their world, Zhuge Qing was unintentionally agitated.

Why?

Because someone from the Yamen sent a message today, asking him to go to the court tomorrow.

He, the second monk, was confused, so he quickly took the gifts and banknotes to visit the second-in-command in the Yamen at his home, to find out the inside story, and to be mentally prepared.

Who would have thought that his second-in-command, who usually would warmly receive him whenever he went there, was deliberately evasive this time.

When I was really desperate, I told him that someone was following him and sent an account book to the Yamen regarding tax evasion at Jingtian Restaurant, so it would be a bit troublesome, and asked him to quickly prepare a large sum of money to make up for the shortfall.

He was confused at that time, and he didn't understand how his secret account books had been accessed by outsiders.

He had the money to fill the gap, but this incident made him very uneasy.

All the way back from the second-in-command's house, he was thinking about the last meaningful words the second-in-command said: "This account book seems to have been sent by Wan Qingchun, the Duke of Zhenguo, but there is a bigger person behind it.

You're being watched, so take care of yourself!"

No wonder the second-in-command didn't give him the news in advance. It turned out that there was a bigger person behind him who wanted to mess with him.

Who is the one?

Zhuge Qing was thinking all the way that he had never offended the town's Duke Wan Qingchun before, but he only started to have grudges after opening this bar across the street.

"Qing'er, there's no point in guessing this. It's probably Uncle Zhongyong who is causing trouble."

Zhuge Qing walked around the room irritably, scratching his head, kicking over the stool in front of him, and then Zhuge Qing's wife came in with a bowl of ginseng soup and said:

"Uncle Zhongyong? Which Uncle Zhongyong?" Zhuge Qing asked.

The old woman glared at Zhuge Qing helplessly, put down the ginseng soup in her hand and said: "Who else can be loyal and brave? Of course it is Luo Fengtang, the great general who protects the country!"

"General Protecting the Country?" Zhuge Qing still looked confused.

The old woman became even more depressed and said: "You kid, can you stop fooling around with your bad friends every day? Can you spend more time on serious things?"

"Luo Fengtang, the great general who protects the country, is now the most popular figure in front of the Prince of the East Palace and the pillar of the country..."

Zhuge Qing spread his hands, interrupted his mother's words and asked: "Well, it does sound awesome, but does this have anything to do with me?"

The old woman almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"You stupid thing, are you deliberately trying to piss off your mother and me?" She raised her eyebrows.

Pointing to the bar opposite: "As long as you are a woman, you will miss Yang Ruoqing, the woman who sells alcohol with Wan Qingchun, the town official in the bar opposite. People call her Mrs. Luo,"

"If you were smarter, you should go find out where this husband's family name is Luo!"

Zhuge Qing was not stupid, but he had never thought about it before. After some advice from his mother, he suddenly had an enlightenment and understood everything.

"It's time to play ball!" He patted his head, his face turned ashen.

"After working on it for a long time, it turns out that such a beautiful woman is the woman of the great general who protects the country?" He murmured.

The woman he longed to sleep with was slept with by such a general who held the most powerful power in the armed forces. Now it was over.

"I don't quite understand. If the General Protecting the Country really wants to mess with me, it's not just a matter of hooking his fingers. Why should he do it with something as trivial as accounting books that doesn't hurt my roots?" Zhuge Qing was puzzled.

The old woman also said with a solemn expression: "I want to play cat-and-mouse with you. When you've had enough, I'll devour it in one gulp."

Zhuge Qing was so frightened that his legs weakened and he was trembling a little as he spoke: "What should I do? This won't work. I have to quickly prepare a heavy gift and apologize in person!"

But the old woman stretched out her hand to stop him.

"You, you have never experienced anything, you are really worthless!" she said.

"Isn't he just a general? What can he do even if he holds military power? This is the capital, and soldiers cannot be brought into the city."

"What's more, they serve as soldiers to protect their country and the people of Qi."

"We are ordinary merchants who abide by the law and are ordinary people. The soldiers' guns should be directed at the enemy country, not us. Don't worry, he won't send troops to arrest you!" the old woman said, reaching out and patting her hard.

Zhuge Qing's shoulders.

When the old woman was young, her natal family owned a martial arts school and had a few brushes.

嫁给诸葛庆他爹后,便学着掌管生意,诸葛庆他爹想要纳妾,一顿暴揍,所以诸葛庆的爹一辈子都只能看着家里那些如花似玉的大丫鬟们偷偷流

saliva.

Finally, at the age of thirty, he died in depression as soon as he was nodding off.

The old woman propped up the facade by herself and made the business bigger and bigger. All the scheming tricks of her daughter Zhuge Hui came from the old woman.

The old woman had seen many strong winds and waves in her life, but this time she didn't panic at all.

"Qing'er, don't forget, we also have a backer!"

The old woman continued.

"The General Protecting the Country is the prince's favorite. Don't forget that the prince will marry Miss Su from the Anlehou Mansion as his concubine in two days."

"Miss Su and your sister are sisters-in-law. Your sister is a good person in Anlehou Mansion and manages everything very well."

"And Miss Su is also very skillful. When Miss Su enters the East Palace and becomes His Royal Highness's bed partner, her heart must be towards us. Luo Fengtang wants to trample us to death, but His Highness the Prince will not agree!
