Chapter 279 Can You Hold One Hand?
"Brother Dawu!"
With a crisp call, Wu Haogu looked up and saw that the charming smile of Pan Qiaolian had entered the cross-yard where Wu Haogu lived. At this time, she was standing in the yard and smiling at her.
Today she was wearing a white dress, with a simple drooping bun on her head, and her black hair tied with silk thread, hanging onto the white narrow-sleeved trousers on both shoulders. The front of the trousers was open, and there was a red bra inside, setting off a graceful curve, full of seductive spring colors - women's clothing in the Northern Song Dynasty was quite open, not inferior to the Tang Dynasty.
"Sister Eighteen, I really want to ruin me."
Wu Haogu, who was still afraid that Pan Qiaolian would get angry because she made Ximen Qing's belly bigger, now she realized that she was missing Sister Pan Shiba so much.
"Brother Dawu, you have returned to Kaifeng Mansion, why don't you go to find a slave?" Pan Qiaolian pouted her mouth and pretended to be angry, making Wu Hao Ancient Capital fascinated.
His "previous life" vision is not low! Pan Qiaolian's appearance is better than Ximen Qing.
Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Sister 18, you know that being an official is not comfortable, and being a free person is not an official. I am an official now, and I have to pay off the errands assigned by the official family before I can do my private affairs. I came back this morning and entered the palace soon. I just went home and I have to take someone to see Mr. Zhang tomorrow. I am so busy..."
"You still have to take someone to see Mr. Zhang?" Pan Qiaolian's eyes flashed and she smiled, "Brother Dawu, you have become a busy person now. Are you going to be promoted again soon?"
Wu Haogu smiled proudly: "I think I want to be promoted. Maybe I can become an ambassador in one step... In this way, I can be a match for you, Sister No. 18."
Pan Qiaolian's face turned red when she heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Who wants to be a match for you?"
Wu Haogu looked at Pan Qiaolian's shy look and couldn't help but like her very much, "Sister Eighteenth, when I get promoted to the post, I will marry you in a grand manner."
Although Pan Xiao'an had long given up on the condition of requesting Wu Haokui to be promoted to ambassador, marriages always require a good match. The Pan family's generals and officials from many generations were definitely a first-class family in the Song Dynasty.
Although Wu Haogu's ancestors were also awesome, after all, no official was found in the two generations before Wu Haogu. They just traded calligraphy and painting on Panlou Street, and were the businessman at the end of the four people. Now, although Wu Haogu has entered the official career, as long as he is not from the imperial examination, he is not reincarnated by his ability. No matter how great his contribution is, it is a "close blessing", which is insignificant. In the eyes of the noble civil servants, it is no different from the officials he bought.
Therefore, Wu Haogu had to build a bigger official position to serve as a storefront. A deputy envoy from the seventh-rank Xishangguan Sect was worthy of Pan Qiaolian's golden flower. Otherwise, someone would have been chewing behind his back and said that Pan Shibajie was a flower on Wu Dalang's soaked cow dung.
Wu Haogu's words made Pan Qiaolian even more shy. She lowered her head and pursed her lips and said, "Brother Dawu will make me happy, but I don't care whether you have an official or not. As long as you can be happy with me and stay with me forever, I will be satisfied."
Pan Qiaolian is telling the truth. She is not the kind of motivated woman. Her family background is so good. She doesn’t know what it means to be short of money when she comes out of her womb. She doesn’t know what it means to “a real man cannot be powerless for a day”?
Therefore, Pan Qiaolian did not have much demand for her husband's career and family property. It is best to be handsome (the standard handsome in the Song Dynasty) and be able to make herself happy all day long. In fact, the owner of Wu Haogu's body was the most suitable for Pan Qiaolian.
But Wu Haogu seems ambitious now, and he is determined to be a high-ranking official and makes a lot of money, which is unexpected. But she never thought of dumping her increasingly motivated boyfriend... It is always good for men to be more motivated. Although Pan Qiaolian doesn't care, she can also be ashamed to speak out in the circle of celebrities in Kaifeng Prefecture!
He became an ambassador at the age of 21! His future is probably even more rampant officials, and he will most likely squeeze into the circle of "noble officials" in half a year. If he can retire as a Jiedu or Jiedu in the future, it will be considered as a military general.
The two of them were filled with deep affection in a few short sentences. They naturally walked side by side towards the small garden. Wu Haogu smiled happily and said, "Zeiba doesn't care. I, a real man, cannot ignore it. With the power of official positions, we can stay together safely and steadily.
When we worship the world, we will go to Haizhou to see it. It is time to set up a villa on Yuntai Mountain. When will we stay in seclusion in Yuntai Fairy Mountain and live a life of immortality."
"Yes." Pan Qiaolian agreed happily, "At that time, we must build a fairy residence in Yuntai Mountain, and we will live there together."
Wu Haogu nodded with a smile. He did have a plan to set up strongholds in Yuntaishan and Haizhou. Of course, it was not to make Pan Qiaolian happy, but to configure the sea trade routes.
What he is now preparing to develop is a Northeast Asia trade circle, which is a trade route that can carry out circular navigation clockwise or counterclockwise. The key nodes include Haizhou, Mingzhou and Dengta City in the Song Dynasty, Suzhou in the Liao Dynasty, Haizhou in the Goryeo Xikaido, and Hakata in Japan.
Large sailing fleets can follow the wind direction, and when the northwest wind blows, they all the way from Suzhou in Liao Kingdom to Mingzhou, and when the southeast wind blows, they will go north from Mingzhou. According to the different routes of north and south, multiple routes will be formed. Among these multiple routes, the most important node is not Lighthouse City, which is located on the bank of the inner boundary river of the Bohai Bay, but Haizhou, which is located in the eastern part of the Central Plains, has the benefits of canals and Huai Rivers.
Because only Haizhou can most conveniently connect the Central Plains region, which is still quite developed in this era, and the world. At present, Chinese porcelain is mainly produced in the Central Plains rather than Jingdezhen in the Yangtze River Basin. The main iron smelting center is in the Liguojian in Xuzhou. The silk from Jingdong Road is also quite good. The sea salt from Huainan East Road is also sold to Goryeo and Japan.
Therefore, vigorously developing Haizhou Port is also an inevitable choice in the future.
If... if Wu Haogu's current plans cannot change the historical inertia of ethnic minorities going south, then Haizhou and the nearby Xuzhou will become the anti-Jin strongholds envisioned by Wu Haogu.
"By the way," Pan Qiaolian said, suddenly touched Wu Haogu with her elbow and said, "Brother Dawu, are you leaving Kaifeng Mansion with Ximen Xiaoyi? Why didn't he come back with you?"
"She? She didn't leave Yanjing with me," Wu Haogu quickly changed the subject and said, "I encountered an accident in Yanjing... The Bohai slave uprising is so scary!"
"Upposition? Scary?" Pan Qiaolian was indeed distracted by Wu Haogu's words and asked nervously, "What's going on?"
"It's nothing," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "It's just that someone is fighting and killing in Yanjing City... If it weren't for this, how could I have come back so early? And I can't make great contributions. I have to thank the people of Bohai."
"Oh," Pan Qiaolian spitted out her pink tongue, "It's too dangerous not to go to Liao Kingdom again in the future."
As she said that, she glanced at Wu Haogu again. Seeing that he looked calm and without any panic, she thought: Brother Dawu is getting more and more courageous, but he has a bit of masculinity.
Wu Haogu laughed and said, "If you don't go, I won't go for the time being. After marrying you, I will have to take the time to read some books and have no time to go to Liao Kingdom again."
"Reading?" Pan Qiaolian glanced at Wu Haogu and smiled, "Brother Dawu wants to be a hero who can be a song-list outside Donghuamen?"
"This...hehe, it's a must for the sing name outside Donghua Gate. After all, the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and over military affairs. The ambassadors were not worth money. If they could be converted into literary resources, they would be court officials. A court official who was born in a Jinshi is a real good man."
"Oh?" Pan Qiaolian slowly walked around Wu Haogu with her hands on her back. Her teeth bit her red lips, her eyes slightly raised, her face was full of charming beauty, and she said with a wicked smile: "After becoming a good man, will you want to have a group of concubines?"
Wu Haogu coughed, looked righteous and said with a righteous look: "Does Eleventh Sister think I am a disciple? Even if I am in high school, I will not have so many concubines, because I will devote myself to doing things for the country and the people."
"Is that true?" Pan Qiaolian always felt something was wrong when she listened to Wu Haogu's words. She didn't keep so many concubines? Do you want to keep a few more?
Seeing Pan Qiaolian's suspicion, Wu Haogu immediately changed the subject and said, "Eighteenth, Brother Gao and Mi Xiaoyi are both visiting my house today. I'll go and talk to them and I'll send you home, okay?"
"Okay." Pan Qiaolian dipped, not thinking about the issue of Wu Haogu's need to collect a concubine for the time being.
She thought that this was always too early. Let’s talk about it until she was old and she couldn’t stop Brother Dawu’s lust. At present, Brother Dawu is always alone...
Wu Haogu laughed and said, "I will say to Brother Eleven. Tomorrow my father will come to visit with Miss Gao."
"Lingzun and Madam Gao come to the door together? That's..."
Speaking of this, Pan Qiaolian's pretty face suddenly turned red.
Wu Haogu smiled and said, "I'm going to talk about marriage... I won't be long before you can be my Wu Dalang's person. You must be obedient at that time, otherwise..."
"Or what?" Pan Qiaolian asked with her big eyes flashing.
"Otherwise, you can have an expert in law."
Pan Qiaolian snorted: "Family law? Who are you scared? Is the slave not afraid!"
Not afraid? Wu Haoguxin said: Ximen Qing also said he was not afraid, but his attitude was much better than your eighteenth sister. He was Ren Da Ren Jian and held hands, and he had no magical power in his body...
