Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 77

Chu Nanning naturally wouldn't care about these.

As for who poisoned Tan Yuming, that was a matter for the Duke of Wei. She just provided a prescription.Even she is not a doctor, whether she is treating the wife of the Taifu or the mother of Prince Chi, including the current Tan Yuming, it is just to earn some initial funds.

She has been inspecting her newly opened shop these two days.

In addition to the two shops used by Mrs. Pei to kill time, she successively added three more.

The manpower is found directly from the dental shop, with a five-year contract for the shopkeeper and a three-year contract for the clerk.

The contract at this time was not the same as the contract in later generations, but was equivalent to a contract of sale.During the contract period, the customer must be absolutely obedient and loyal.

There are three shops, one rice shop, one tea shop, and one silk shop.

Although it is newly opened, business is quite good.

The Nancheng tiger and the idlers in Nancheng have been subdued; the West City side is still in the wait-and-see stage.But those people also kept silent towards Chu Nanning.

Even though Xicheng Lion prides himself on being a desperado with his head in his waistband, he was already frightened by Chu Nanning's thunderous tactics that night.

Nowadays, the idle people in West City are extremely honest. Even when they go to various shops to collect protection fees, their tone is much gentler.Mrs. Pei's shop has never encountered those
With the idle people in the west city and south city, she has both available people and information channels.

Of course, these idle people have very little contact, and one news channel is not enough!
When we came out of the silk shop, it was already dusk.

Chu Nanning's carriage was swaying along the street. It was evening, when the merchants and people were having dinner, and smoke was curling up from every house, filled with the smell of human fireworks.

Several children were playing on the road, chasing each other in front of the running carriage. Fortunately, the carriage did not move very fast.

However, their parents saw a carriage approaching and hurriedly called their children.

Chu Nanning asked the driver to slow down.

At this time, there was the sound of horse hooves from behind.

She looked out the window and saw a horse on the right side of the carriage slowing down.On the horse was a young man, wearing the military uniform of the Gyeonggi Guard, with light armor and light armor. He looked very powerful.

Chu Nanning was surprised.

Xia Chixiao also saw her and nodded gently as a greeting. Chu Nanning also nodded.

It had only been a few days since we last met, and Xia Chixiao seemed to be a different person.

Perhaps seeing Chu Nanning's slightly appraising eyes, Xia Chixiao glanced at her again.

Chu Nanning looked away.

This feels right. A few days ago, Xia Chixiao bought clothes, jewelry and rouge for his wife who was going to Beijing. There was gentleness and expectation, joy and longing in his eyes.

But now Xia Chixiao's whole person seems to be covered with a layer of gloom.

It's not as bright and sunny as before, but it's more calm and vicissitudes of life.

More solemn, more distant.

Someone had already come out to take the child away and bowed in the direction of the carriage to apologize.

Chu Nanning was about to ask the driver to drive the car, when Xia Chixiao suddenly said: "Are you free?"

Chu Nanning turned her head in surprise.

Xia Chixiao said: "Have a drink?"

It's so concise and shocking. She doesn't seem to be familiar with him, right?
"Shouldn't you find your own friends?"

"I don't have any friends yet!" The voice was a little low, melancholy and confused.

Chu Nanning raised her eyebrows and said, "You just got off duty, right? Are you going to go drinking dressed like this?"

Xia Chixiao looked down at the light armor on his body and said loudly: "Huo Ci!"

A voice somewhere said: "Here!"

"Go to Heyi Tower and book a private room!" "Yes!"

Chu Nanning smiled and said, "Then I'll go first?"

"Ok!"

Chu Nanning said to the coachman: "Here, let's go to He Yi Tower!"

The carriage turned a corner and headed towards the Heyi Tower.

Xia Chixiao pursed her lips.

In fact, he regretted it just now after blurting it out.

When he saw Chu Nanning just now, he suddenly thought of what she said about the situation in the north. He completely forgot that she was a woman after all, and it seemed that they had only met each other a few times.His invitation was very abrupt.

But Chu Nanning actually agreed.

Frank and refreshing, worthy of being a child of the North!
The newly bought Sanjin Mansion was closer, so Xia Chixiao turned around and went there.

Because Luo Xiao didn't receive anyone, the mansion is still empty and there is only one gatekeeper.

Xia Chixiao changed out of his light armor and dark blue clothes and headed to Hexi Tower.

Huo Ci did his job well and chose the quietest private room in the east to settle down. He knew that his master was in a bad mood.

The old lady and the young lady were not able to be brought back, and their life and death were uncertain. It was more likely that they were separated by life and death. When the master was most worried and sad, he chose to go to Lengtai Camp.

On the first day, he directly challenged everyone on the martial arts field.

The soldiers in the Lengtai camp fought against Xia Chixiao in a wheel battle.

The Lengtai camp has a total of [-] troops, with one commander and two deputies. In addition, there is one commander of the front army, one commander of the middle army, one commander of the left and right battalions, one commander of the rear army, and the deputy commander Xia Chixiao was appointed by Emperor Qi Sheng. , one of the two deputies, with a status similar to that of the commander of each military camp.

In addition to the commanders of each battalion, there are also military positions of various sizes such as deputy generals, staff generals, chief officers, hundred commanders, chief officers, etc.

In one day, Xia Chixiao defeated all the front, middle, left, and rear commanders of the Lengtai camp, not to mention the deputy generals and generals who challenged them.

If the commander-in-chief hadn't been concerned about his face, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape the fate of being beaten to the ground.

Although Xia Chixiao also received some punches and kicks, he just relied on his fists and established his authority on the first day!
But even so, Xia Chixiao was not happy.

He was thinking about his grandmother and the woman he owed something to!
Now he just hopes that those news are false, and that his grandmother and she are still alive, in a quiet and safe place.

But he also knew in his heart that after the loss of the northern border and the migration of refugees, this hope was very slim.

As long as he thought of his grandmother and her two weak female bodies in a place he didn't know, migrating with the refugees, being homeless together, starving and freezing together, and suffering the threat of death together, his heart twitched. .

Why did he think that if he arranged for someone to protect them, they would be fine?
How stupid!

If something really happened to them, then they were killed by his stupidity!
In the private room on the east side of Hexi Building, Chu Nanning has already made tea.

After drinking a cup of tea, there was a knock on the door and Xia Chixiao walked in.

Huo Ci, who was waiting outside, immediately asked the waiter to serve wine and food.

I had made a reservation before, the food was served very quickly, and the wine was also good.After the food and wine were put on the table, Huo Ci left the door again.

There were only two people left in the private room.

Xia Chixiao poured wine.

Chu Nanning glanced at him from time to time with her clear eyes, but said nothing.

Xia Chixiao drank three glasses of wine silently.

There was a mellow aroma of wine lingering in the entire private room.

Xia Chixiao finally said dullly: "You come from the north. In your opinion, what are the chances of a helpless and weak woman surviving?"
