Chapter 331 She was heartbroken
Zhao Xiuwan saw that Zheng Wenxiu had already been tempted by her fanning the flames, so she changed the subject, "I just passed by Jibaozhai and saw some new goods. Madam, would you like to go with me?"
Zheng Wenxiu glanced at Zhao Xiuwan, and seeing that she was looking at her very "sincerely", she nodded. "That's good. I haven't been out on the street for a long time. It's time to go out and take a look."
Zhao Xiuwan taking Zheng Wenxiu out to the street was just an excuse, the real purpose was to flatter Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning.
You will pass by the teahouse when you go from Lee Garden to Jibaozhai. Zhao Xiuwan pointed the shop to Zheng Wenxiu as if she was gossiping, and then pointed to the Caidiexuan dim sum shop opposite the shop, "Look, these two shops are right next to each other! Madam Qu and Caidiexuan are very close, do you think there is nothing fishy about this? If this shop falls into the hands of Madam Qu, will Caidiexuan buy it at a low price? This is Zhuque Street, the most prosperous street in Mangcheng!"
Although Zheng Wenxiu didn't say anything, her eyes told Zhao Xiuwan that Zheng Wenxiu must have some thoughts on her mind.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Zhao Xiuwan lowered the curtain of the carriage. "Alas, this kind of thing is just hearsay, and there is no evidence after all." She held Zheng Wenxiu's hand intimately and said, "After we come out of Jibaozhai, I will take Madam to my restaurant and prepare a good feast. Please help me try the dishes. Madam comes from a famous family and is knowledgeable. As long as the dishes are approved by Madam, I will feel at ease!"
She held Zheng Wenxiu in her arms from time to time, which made Zheng Wenxiu feel very comfortable, and she followed Zhao Xiuwan unconsciously.
That night, a pigeon flew out from Lee Garden to contact the capital.
However, the pigeon was intercepted by someone shortly after it flew out of Lee Garden.
The letter tied to the pigeon's leg was delivered to Wei Ling immediately.
After reading it, Wei Ling frowned slightly, then asked someone to roll the letter back into the bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg, and then released the pigeon again.
Zhao Xiuwan had just gone to see Zheng Wenxiu, and Zheng Wenxiu immediately sent a message to her parents' home in the capital overnight. It seemed that Zhao Xiuwan must have been involved in this.
Qian Feng was brought up by Wei Ling, so Wei Ling naturally trusted Qian Feng very much, but this Zhao Xiuwan...
The next day.
As soon as Qian Feng arrived at the military camp, he was told that the Marquis was waiting for him.
"Shouldn't the Marquis take a day off today?" Every time he comes back from patrolling the camp, he has three days off. After Qian Feng finished speaking, he felt startled, afraid that there was something urgent.
He hurried to Wei Ling.
"My Lord, is there any urgent military information?" Qian Feng asked with a fist clasped.
Wei Ling pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down."
Qian Feng sat down after hearing that.
"Qian Feng!" Wei Ling said slowly, "You have been in the Black Tiger Guard for quite some time. You are considered a veteran. Have you ever thought about leaving the Black Tiger Guard?"
"What do you mean, General?" Qian Feng was stunned.
"You have reached the limit of your rank as a captain in the Black Tiger Guard." Wei Ling said after pondering for a moment, "If you want to make further progress, you must leave the Black Tiger Guard and become independent. If you want to increase your military rank and salary, I'm afraid you have to take this path."
Qian Feng stared at Wei Ling in a daze. The moment Wei Ling opened his mouth, he suddenly felt as if there was some gap between him and Wei Ling.
But he quickly rejected the idea.
He followed the general through thick and thin, and the general saved his life several times. If it weren't for the general, he would be just a servant now.
"But did I do anything wrong to anger the general?" Qian Feng asked cautiously.
"You didn't do anything wrong." Wei Ling said, "If you don't want to leave the Black Tiger Guard, I won't send you away, but you have a family now. If you want to consider many aspects, maybe leaving the Black Tiger Guard is not a bad choice."
Qian Feng was about to speak when he was interrupted by Wei Ling's gesture.
"Before you open your mouth to refute me, I hope you will think about it carefully." Wei Ling said calmly, "You can continue to stay in the Black Tiger Guard, but the highest position you can hold is the lieutenant. But if you leave the Black Tiger Guard, you can go to a subordinate county government office to be a captain, and in a few years you can be promoted to a lieutenant general or a guerrilla general. At that time, your military pay will also increase accordingly."
When Qian Feng heard about the military pay, he immediately lost his determination to refuse Wei Ling.
Military pay. He still owes a lot of money!
He didn't know how much money Hongyunlou was making now, because Zhao Xiuwan would not tell him the business situation of the restaurant. Every time he asked, Zhao Xiuwan would just say that it was not losing money and it was just okay.
Since Zhao Xiuwan didn't mention making money, he was too embarrassed to ask her for money. He could only rely on his military pay to repay the foreign debts he had borrowed for Zhao Xiuwan bit by bit.
But his military pay is just a drop in the bucket, how can he afford so much debt!
Although Qian Feng didn't want to leave the Black Tiger Guard, he was really moved when he thought about paying back the money for Zhao Xiuwan!
"General, can you give me some time to think about it?" Qian Feng said with a fist.
Wei Ling's eyes dimmed and he nodded, "Okay, I'll give you three days to think about it. After three days, you can tell me the result of your consideration."
"Thank you!" Qian Feng stood up, saluted, and then took his leave.
Originally, he wanted to find Xie Yingfeng today to see if he could get two plots of land from Xie Yingfeng with his old face, but what Wei Ling said made him decide to go home and discuss it with Zhao Xiuwan first.
So when Qian Feng returned home that night, Zhao Xiuwan glanced at him and asked, "Is the land coming?"
"I haven't gone to see the military advisor yet." Qian Feng smiled cautiously.
"How can you come back without land?" Zhao Xiuwan looked at Qian Feng with contempt, "You coward."
"Madam, I really have an important matter to discuss with you." Although he was scolded by Zhao Xiuwan, Qian Feng still gritted his teeth and told Zhao Xiuwan what Wei Ling had said to him.
When Zhao Xiuwan heard this, she immediately stopped talking and just looked Qian Feng up and down several times.
"Captain?" After a moment, she asked, "Is he the same as Bihe's husband?"
"Yes." Qian Feng nodded. "If I leave the Black Tiger Guard, I will probably be sent out as a captain to station troops in a subordinate county government."
Zhao Xiuwan's eyes lit up.
Isn't the reason that bitch Bihe can dress more elegantly than me because her husband is a captain?
Although the title of a general is not as good as the reputation of the captain of the Black Tiger Guard, it is really practical. The military and politics are integrated. Isn't it the same as Wei Ling in Mangcheng when he is in the subordinate county government?
Zhao Xiuwan's heart was deeply moved!
