Chapter 409 Finger Marriage
Ling Yuan stopped and looked down at her: "That's all?"

Xu Jinruo nodded.

Ling Yuan looked back at the noodle restaurant: "Then you came out without eating?"

Xu Jinruo said: "I'm full. Who knows that I'm not really hungry. I want to eat when I come out."

Ling Yuan smiled.

"why are you laughing?"

"Am I smiling?"

"Of course!"

Xu Jinruo stared at him, maybe he didn't know if he was laughing or not?
Ling Yuan really didn't know.

The cool breeze blowing by the river and the willow silk blowing on the face make people feel at ease.

He said, "You eat so much, can you hold on? Do you want to take a walk?"

Xu Jinruo had nothing else to do, so she nodded and followed.

Ling Yuan asked, "Why do you want to go back to Jinling?"

"The capital is not fun. Sister Shen has entered the palace, and I have no other friends. I am homesick."

The little girl's voice was a little low.

Ling Yuan walked a few steps and said, "The general has a daughter who is about your age, and I'll introduce you to her another day, do you want to?"

Xu Jinruo said to save face: "That's fine too..."

Madam Ling waited for Ling Yuan to come back for dinner, but Ling Yuan didn't come back until it was dark.

"How?" she asked with a smile.

Ling Yuan said: "Who are you talking about?"

Madam Ling clicked her tongue again: "Of course Miss Li!"

Ling Yuan thought for a while, and said, "Let's leave it at that, I'll choose it myself."

Madam Ling was speechless.

At the end of the day, Yang Su passed Ling Yuan and Xu Lan to Qianqing Palace.

"Zhang Zhihuan and the others submitted the booklet, please let me accept the concubine, and also brought out the late emperor."

Ling Yuan suddenly raised his head: "Concubine Na?"

Xu Lan also restrained her expression, and then sat up straight.

"That's right, there are already candidates. I took a look and found that they are all ladies from families with good backgrounds." Yang Su looked at the two of them.

Ling Yuan put down the notebook, frowned and said: "Are they dissatisfied with the queen?"

Yang Su sneered lightly.

Xu Lan said: "The queen is both civil and military. She has both the talent to set the country and the ability to rejuvenate the country, and she is still young. No matter in terms of talent and learning, or in terms of future contributions to the royal family, no one can surpass her.

"There is no need to worry about the matter of the emperor's heir. I personally think that the matter of accepting the concubine is completely adding to the chaos. The emperor should be harmonious and loving with the queen, and work side by side to focus on revitalizing the court."

Yang Su raised his eyes and said, "What do you think of Xizhi?"

Ling Yuan said indifferently: "If the emperor wants to accept a concubine, then return the queen to our Ling family."

Yang Su coughed: "This matter can't be joked."

He said: "Let's put it this way, I looked at it, and although Zhang Zhihuan said that he had caused me trouble, the queen said that the families he picked were all upright, and she had seen all the young ladies. not bad.

"Aren't you two not engaged? Otherwise, you can pick and choose, and I will show you a marriage?"

Ling Yuan and Xu Lan looked over at the same time.

"How is it?" Yang Su said.

Ling Yuan put tea: "How does the emperor know that the minister has no marriage?"

Yang Su froze for a moment.

Xu Lan also looked over.

Ling Yuan straightened his cuffs, and said: "Leave it to Zhang Zhihuan, and the matter of the marriage has taken the emperor's heart."

He didn't believe that Yang Su couldn't even deal with such a thing, it was nothing more than trying to create trouble for the two of them in turn!
Yang Su looked at Xu Lan in awe, and Xu Lan took advantage of the situation and said: "I also thank the emperor first."

After leaving the palace, Xu Lan grabbed Ling Yuan: "When did you get married? Why don't I know?"

Ling Yuan said: "I can't rush to tell you about Xu Qin, can I?"

"No, you made a promise so quietly, but I haven't settled yet. Every time my mother urges me, I always use you as a ready-made example to prevaricate. How can I tell her in the future?" Xu Lan Half laughing and half complaining.

Ling Yuan pondered, and said, "I didn't say I've made a promise, did I?"

"What the hell is going on then?"

Ling Yuan glanced at him, remembering Xu Jinruo who had the same bright eyes as him, and said, "Let's not talk about it for now."

"Is there still a need to hide this?" Xu Lan laughed again.

Ling Yuan just smiled and said nothing.

Yang Su returned to the harem and found Changying in the study.

He told about meeting Ling Yuan and the others, and then said, "Why do I feel that Xizhi is in trouble?"

Changying didn't believe it: "Impossible, right? My aunt entered the palace two days ago and was still having a headache about his marriage."

At this age, in the past, it could be said that his mind was difficult to calm down, but now that other things have settled down, he should also think about himself.

But hearing Mrs. Ling's intentions, he didn't refuse, but he didn't like it when he saw it from the left, and he didn't like it from the right. Why did this happen suddenly?
But Yang Su smiled schemingly, and said, "I see the difference."

Changying raised his eyebrows, not saying yes or no.

Yang Su looked at the scroll in her hand and said, "What are you looking at?"

Changying raised the book: "Shuyin sent me a few books on the operation of merchant ships on the sea in recent years, and I will read them."

Tan Shaoyuan was one of the number one supporters of the Fu family, and he also echoed Fu Mingjiang during the rebellion. At that time, Chang Ying was also one of the presiding judges during the Dali Temple trial. Keep him down.

Now that Tan Shao was relegated to Hangzhou Bay to become a thousand householder, Tan Shuyin and her husband also followed. They wrote twice. These books were presented, along with the current state of the sea.

Under Song Cheng's urging, Yang Su was just thinking about the resumption of shipping, and when he heard this, he reached out and took the book.

"The river course is really a waste of time and money, and the burden is too heavy, but the sea is restless. If you want to resume shipping, it will be like attracting wolves into your house."

He looked over and said.

"The unrest on the sea is also related to the court's strict ban on maritime trade. I think it's better to choose the right time to open up a part of the trade area and try it out to see the effect."

Merchant goods cannot be shipped overseas, and they can only smuggle them secretly if they want to make a profit, which nourishes pirates.If you want to curb pirates, you still have to find a way fundamentally.

Yang Su asked: "Is there any specific strategy that can be implemented?"

Chang Ying shrugged: "You have to think about it now."

"Then think about it." Yang Su sat down, "Mr. Song Ge intends to send Song Yu back to the south and go to Hangzhou to check the current situation. If his clues are the same as Tan Shao's, it is not impossible to consider opening up overseas trade."

Changying also sat down: "It's better to start from the Jishuitan and go all the way south along the coast."

"That would take several months."

"As long as the feeling of the sea is accurate, let alone a few months, it doesn't matter if it is a year or so?"

Yang Su nodded ponderingly, "You're right. I might as well give him the title of 'Maritime Patrol Censor', and it would be more convenient for me to go up the journey as an imperial envoy."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

As soon as I said this, Xiang Zixiang came in quickly, bowed under the curtain and said: "Mrs. Ru'an County is about to give birth, so Ruyi sent someone here to invite the imperial physician!"

Changying straightened up in an instant!

Yang Su glanced at her and said, "Quickly pass on Liang Feng!"
