After the rebirth, Lord Hou treats me like a treasure

Chapter 280 Hosting a Banquet 5
"Why are you running so red?" Mrs. Wei was looking at the list sent by the butler, and when she saw Wei Wangning walking in with flushed cheeks, she couldn't even catch her breath, so she laughed and teased her.

Wei Wangning was running with her heart pounding, she was too embarrassed to recall what stupid things she did just now.

Fortunately, she and her elder brother are siblings, even if her behavior just now was out of order, he would not care about her.

"It's a bit hot outside." Wei Wangning poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in big gulps, "What is grandma looking at?"

Mrs. Wei said, "This is the list of local officials sent by Steward Li. Southern Fujian is different from the capital city. In addition to local officials, those merchants also have a very important position here."

The aristocratic families in the capital look down on merchants the most. In their eyes, merchants are the lowest.

Southern Fujian is different. The prosperity here depends not on the aristocratic family, but on merchants.

"Doing as the Romans do is the most important thing. Steward Li has drawn up a list of several merchants, who have a very important position in southern Fujian." Mrs. Wei said.

Wei Wangning hadn't got the news about the Qianjin Pavilion yet, so it was hard to decide who to invite right away.

"I don't know how these officials treat Lord Hou." Mrs. Wei said.

For these officials, Qi Moyuan came to drive away the pirates for them, but the attitude of the court now seems not only to drive away the pirates, but also to keep Qi Moyuan in southern Fujian.

If you stay, it will be different.If we can build a good relationship, no matter what, it will be beneficial to Qi Moyuan.

Wei Wangning accompanied Mrs. Wei to arrange the banquet. After noon, Shuangyun finally came back.

"This is from Mu Nuan." Shuangyun handed a thick letterhead to Wei Wangning, "Girl, although Mu Nuan has doubts about you, she is very loyal to Lord Hou."

"I know." Wei Wangning nodded, otherwise she wouldn't have let Shuangyun go to find Mu Nuan.

From Mu Nuan's letter, Wei Wangning has a deeper understanding of the situation in southern Fujian.

Before Qi Moyuan came to Minhai, the highest official here was the admiral of the Navy Battalion. The admiral commanded the entire army, and the southern Fujian prefect controlled the entire Fujian Hai area. However, the admiral was helpless against pirates and had been dismissed by Zhao Heng. Now, although Qi Moyuan has not been appointed as an admiral, he has already lived in the general's mansion, and his rights are equal to that of an admiral.

The original southern Fujian admiral Wang Linqin was a local, and his family was deeply rooted. Half of the officials were related to the Wang family.

"This Wang Linqin..." Wei Wangning frowned, Mu Nuan especially emphasized the existence of this person, it seems that Wang Linqin must pay attention.

"When Lord Hou first came to the navy camp, the sailors didn't obey his orders. It must be this Wang Linqin behind the scenes." Shuangyun said.

"How do you know?" Wei Wangning asked in surprise.

Shuangyun said, "This servant asked Shi Yan about it."

"Not bad." Wei Wangnuo nodded with a smile, "Tomorrow I will go to see my elder brother and discuss it with him."

After finishing speaking, she felt a little hot on her cheeks again, forget it, let Mrs. Wei tell her elder brother.

"Girl, what happened to your face?" Shuangyun asked suspiciously.

"It's okay, it's a little hot." Wei Wangning coughed lightly, "Go and rest first, and I'll take a look."

Shuangyun opened the window a little to let the outside wind blow in, "The weather here is hotter than in Kyoto, I'm going to get the girl iced sour plum soup."

Wei Wangning nodded indiscriminately, "Yeah."

　About Minnan and Minhai...it's all fiction, fiction!The names are similar, there is no factual basis.
