Jiang Yanran learned about these things between Franji and Jiang Wan, and between Franji and Catherine from Catherine's mouth.

Unlike Xu Caining, who has a noble background, and Li Fuyao and Su Qian'er, who have always been by Jiang Wan's side, on the way back from Shaanxi, the two "weak" girls who were destined to become members of the Jiang family naturally

came a little closer.

So, Jiang Yanran knew this, and Jiang Yanran felt that no matter how much contribution Fo Langji had to the Ming Dynasty, he owed Jiang Wan, Jiang Yanran, and the Jiang family to them.

Jiang Yanran doesn't have a great concept of family and country. When she almost starved to death in Luochuan and almost became a meal for others, no one from the court came to save her, but now she can live without worries.

The reason why I am standing here in the capital safely is because of Jiang Wan.

As someone who both Xu Caining and Li Fuyao agreed would be by Jiang Wan's side to take care of her in the future, she felt that it was necessary for her to settle her account with Fo Langjiren, whether it was against Jiang Wan or not.

Both at home and with his new "sister-in-law" Catherine, this account must be settled carefully.

There were about twenty-three Folangji people living in the small courtyard. After the interpreter shouted, most of them came out. They looked at the two Ming people in front of them, and their expressions were a little unkind.

They were not afraid at all of these two Ming people who were said to be here to "collect debts."

However, the two Ming people who looked at them with cold smiles did not look afraid of them at all.

"I am the sister of Jiang Wan, the commander of the Nanhai Guard. Two years ago, my Jiang family and your Victor business group had a monopoly contract, but it seems that you have forgotten this matter. Last year, my Jiang family was in

The Sihai Trading Company in Haojing'ao was robbed by thieves, and your Victor Chamber of Commerce has not given an explanation to the Jiang family so far!"

Jiang Yanran said very seriously: "I now formally submit a request for compensation to your Victor Chamber of Commerce. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, violating the contract will result in a fine of at least three to ten times the amount of silver. If my request is not met,

If you are satisfied, I will take your Victor Chamber of Commerce to court in Ming Dynasty!"

Fo Langji's interpreter showed a contemptuous smile and translated her words to Fo Langji. The crowd of Fo Langji's people burst into laughter.

The interpreter also laughed. Seeing that these two people were well dressed and spoke arrogantly, they didn't know how old they were. I didn't expect that the person behind them was just a commander. I don't know who came from this corner.

, he felt that he had been intimidated by the shoehorn-faced follower just now, which was really a bit embarrassing.

Mr. Fo Langji muttered a few words, and the interpreter spoke loudly: "Master Fo Langji has never heard of any contract. This is Honglu Temple. You'd better get out of here. Otherwise, don't blame us.

Call the messengers to drive you away!"

"Hey hey hey!" Jiang Yanran sneered a few times, turned around and left. Boss Yu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed him out.

The people behind him laughed even more unscrupulously. Boss Yu felt that his face was slightly feverish. He had just said harsh words, but he was slapped in the face severely. There was simply no place to put this face!

"Forget it...?" After walking out of the gate of Honglu Temple, Boss Yu couldn't help but said: "If this is the matter, just send someone to talk about it. Sister Yanran doesn't need you to come forward in person!"

"Of course we can't just let it go!" Jiang Yanran said with a smile: "They are not admitting it, they are denying it. This is a good thing. If they really have to pay the money so happily, I feel that I have given them an advantage!

"

Boss Yu suddenly became energetic. Sure enough, there was still something going on. Those guys just laughed at how powerful he was, and he had to punish them later so that they cried so much.

"Then what are we doing now?"

"I said we should sue the officials, didn't you hear clearly?" Jiang Yanran's eyes widened: "Of course you are looking for someone to write a petition and report it to Shuntian Mansion. Your job is to send people to keep an eye on this place. You can't let it happen.

A Flemish man ran away, do you understand?"

"Get him!" When Boss Yu heard this, he immediately understood. He wanted to kill these people severely. He was familiar with this kind of thing, so it was easy to handle it.

After wandering outside for a long time, Jiang Yanran finally wandered back to Jiang's house before dinner. Jiang Wan had already returned and was talking to someone he didn't know. She secretly wanted to bypass the front hall and go back.

When he arrived at his residence, he was spotted by the sharp-eyed Jiang Wan at a glance.

"Come here!" Jiang Wan waved to him: "I've come to see Eunuch Xu in the palace. Eunuch Xu, this is my sister, she is very naughty. Jiang Wan is not disciplined, but she is very good at the customs and customs of Shaanxi.

You know more and more clearly than me, there are some things I can’t explain to Eunuch Xu, so why not just ask this girl directly!"

Jiang Wan smiled slightly and said calmly: "Yanran is the adopted sister I adopted in Shaanxi!"

"Miss Jiang is very smart. You can tell at a glance that she is rich and powerful!" Xu Yingyuan chuckled and said casually.

He didn't care about the skinny little girl at the moment, but since she was Jiang Wan's adopted sister, he had to be polite.

"I've met Eunuch Xu!" Yanran greeted him obediently, not seeing the swaying and lazy look she had when she just entered the house.

"I've told you many times that you need to bring more people with you when you go to the streets. The capital may not be at peace right now. What if something happens to a girl like you?" Jiang Wan said angrily: "Wherever you go, you can't go anywhere.

You have to tell your family, otherwise, if anything happens, I will come to you!"

"Oh!" Jiang Yanran responded in a low voice: "I remember!"

Jiang Wan ignored her and let her stand aside, continuing to talk to Xu Yingyuan: "According to what Eunuch Xu said, your majesty gave Eunuch Xu a good job. The internal officer oversees the grain supervision of Shaanxi.

Doesn’t this mean that Eunuch Xu can even intervene in the affairs of the Chief Envoy of Shaanxi!"

"Commander Jiang really thinks highly of me!" Xu Yingyuan smiled bitterly: "This is a hard-earned job for the eunuchs of Du Zhijian. The only thing you can take care of is the new food you got, Commander Jiang, so

, if something goes wrong with the new grain crops commanded by Jiang, then I, Xu Yingyuan, will really be doomed!"

Jiang Wan was secretly amused. Xu Yingyuan's words were true and false, but he couldn't hide them from him. After returning to Beijing, although the emperor never summoned him, he secretly inquired about a lot of news from the palace.

It can be said that Xu Yingyuan's life in the palace is extremely difficult now. Ever since the Inner Palace Supervisor was under the control of Wang Cheng'en and seemed to surpass the Li Supervisor, Xu Yingyuan's life in the Capital Supervisor's Prison was getting worse day by day. Now he is not only

He was being held up in mid-air by several young eunuchs and ministers below, unable to control anything. There were even rumors that someone would tell him to get out soon.

He came to Jiang Wan purely as an act of self-rescue, saying that he had exchanged his position as eunuch for the Shanxi Superintendent of Internal Affairs and Supervision. In fact, if he did not replace him, he would step down soon.

It's just that after stepping down, whether he can still get a job to Shaanxi is anyone's guess.

At least, judging from the facts, it would be unthinkable for a eunuch with almost no future, being marginalized in the palace, and not having many connections to take advantage of Jiang Wan's achievements.

"Do a good job. Not only do I have confidence in these new food crops, but His Majesty also has high hopes for these new food crops!"

Jiang Wan encouraged the other party. Xu Yingyuan came here to say goodbye. If nothing else, after meeting Jiang Wan, he would soon leave the capital for Shaanxi. At this time, he came to have a final say to Jiang Wan.

statement.

The two talked for a while, and Xu Yingyuan stood up to say goodbye.

Jiang Wan then turned around and suppressed the smile on his face: "Did you go to Honglu Temple in the afternoon?"

"Ah?" Jiang Yanran was caught off guard: "You also know this, did Big Head Fish tell you?"

"What a big-headed fish, it's such a mess!" Jiang Wan was stunned and said angrily: "This is the capital, do you really think I don't know anything when you go out alone?"

Forgot that you used to be the emperor's agent...

Jiang Yanran muttered, not daring to ask Jiang Wan how he knew, and nodded with a flat mouth.

"What have you been doing?"

Jiang Wan said calmly: "When I came back, I saw you hanging out with Catherine every day. I knew you were going to find something to do when you came back. Did you go to find someone from Fo Langji?"

"Oh, you have thought of it too, that's great!" Jiang Yanran was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Brother, you told me earlier, I was still secretive, afraid that you would be unhappy..."

She put aside what she had done today, and then said very proudly: "How about it? I went to the door in person and got their personal denials, and then I went to Shuntian Mansion to report it to the official. This is called reasonable and well-founded. Let's talk about it."

The principle is to never punish someone without teaching them!"

"Has Shuntian Mansion received the paper?" Jiang Wan's face was expressionless.

"Take it...take it!?" Jiang Yanran was a little hesitant. She had never reported to the police in her whole life. She just saw Boss Yu handing the certificate in, so she thought it should be accepted.

"Okay!" Jiang Wan nodded: "Do I know this?"

"Ah!" Jiang Yanran didn't understand: "What do you mean by knowing? Did I do the right thing? We can't just let these Folangji people go. They owe our family money, and

As for Catherine, we have to clear her name at least, she will be your wife from now on, we can’t always be labeled as a Franco traitor!"

"Yes!" Jiang Wan pondered for a moment. Regarding the matter of clearing Catherine's name, he had really never thought about it. If it was a little girl playing with claims, he could just let her do it. Anyway, he doesn't lack these three things now.

Two dates.

However, if it is a matter of clearing Catherine's name, then it must be taken seriously.

"Have you discussed it with Kathry?" Jiang Wan asked, "What does she mean?"

"I haven't had time to tell sister Katherine!" Jiang Yanran's face turned red: "I thought of it this morning and did it!"

"Go and discuss with her and ask what he means. We want the money, and we have to clear Catherine's name, but we must also take care of Catherine's feelings!"

After waiting for Jiang Wan's permission, Jiang Yanran left the hall happily. Jiang Wan shook her head, slightly blaming herself. When she was in Yan'an Mansion, she was busy with military affairs and did not have time to deal with Catherine's affairs. Now she

After returning to the capital, he still didn't care about this matter. If the little girl hadn't reminded him that he would wait until he got married and left the capital, this matter might have caused some trouble in the future.

During his return to the capital, he went to Duke Ding's mansion, visited Sun Chuanting, and also went to Li Qiu'an. In the capital, his network of contacts was not too broad, and everyone who needed to go went there.

People who should come to visit, such as Wu Xiang from the former military governor's office, Xu Yingyuan, the governor of the capital, and some Jin Yiwei and market friends from Shaanxi who had friendship with him at the beginning but did not follow him, also came to visit.

.

If the emperor's decree does not come down and he is not asked to take up an official position somewhere immediately, then he will be relatively leisurely in the capital at the moment. Of course, maybe this is also a holiday specially given by the emperor to let him deal with his own affairs.

Although the marriage was not explicitly stated, he thought that this was what happened.

He hardly had to worry about getting married. Ding Guogong sent people to help him. He only had to go through all the procedures step by step according to others' arrangements.

He felt that he should take care of Catherine's affairs now before getting married.

At the same time, in the Yangxin Hall of the Imperial City, Zhu Youjian finished his day's work and stood up from the pile of memorials.

"Big companion, come with me for a walk!"

Behind him, Wang Chengen lowered his eyebrows and followed Zhu Youjian towards the imperial garden. No matter how many times Wang Chengen persuaded Zhu Youjian not to work too hard, Zhu Youjian almost never listened to him.
