Two towns along the coast were attacked by the ronins of the Wa Kingdom, who stole a lot of money and, of course, killed a lot of people at the same time.

After Xiang Wei finished talking to Yueyao, she herself frowned. She predicted that the pirates would not live in peace, but she didn't expect the people of the Japanese Kingdom to emerge first. What worries Xiang Wei the most is that if there is really a drought in the south of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that the surrounding small countries will also be uneasy.

Yue Yao also expected that the coastal area would not live in peace, but she didn't expect that the Wa Kingdom would take the opportunity to make trouble again: "Emperor Yingzong almost destroyed them back then, but he wasn't afraid?" "Emperor Yingzong seemed to have a hatred for the Wa State, and after the strength of the navy was strong, Yingzong sent the old nest of the Wa State to end it, and directly turned the Wa State into a vassal state of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

Xiang Wei felt that those literati had misled the country, if it weren't for the death of those civil servants, where would the Japanese and barbarians still exist today, and they would have become the territory of their Yuan Dynasty.

Yue Yao didn't quite agree with Xiang Wei's opinion: "The minister's concerns are also right. "If all the defeated countries are destroyed, it will be too cruel, after all, the old, weak, sick and disabled are innocent.

Xiang Wei felt that arguing with Yueyao for this kind of thing would not lead to anything, so she didn't continue to talk about it, but said another thing: "I got the news, Lin Qinghan set off from Haikou to return to Beijing at the end of March, and he will arrive in the capital in a few days. ”

Yue Yao is not surprised by this, now Ting Zheng is also an official of the five grades, and the families of the generals during the war are all in the capital, and now there is a war in the coastal area, and it is not safe to stay in Haikou, so it is safer to let the family stay in the capital.

Xiang Wei was surprised: "Why don't you care at all?" You don't want to see your little nephew anymore?" Yueyao heard the doctor say that Lin Qinghan couldn't give birth that day, and she was very anxious about the incense in the second room of the Lian family, and now that Tingzheng has a son, Yueyao should be happy.

Yueyao had never seen this child's face, and she didn't have any feelings, so she didn't feel much: "If you come back, you won't be able to see it." ”

Xiang Wei couldn't figure out what Yue Yao meant, so she didn't say anything more.

There was no rain for seven days in a row, the sun came out every day, and the weather was dry and easy to provoke people, so Yueyao was a little upset and irritable.

Yueyao couldn't bear it anymore and took a walk in the garden.

Walking in the garden, looking at the blue sky, I can't help but seriously recall what happened before, I have never heard of the drought in the capital! Just as Yueyao muttered, a light rain began to fall in the sky.

Although the rain was not heavy, it lasted for a long time, which greatly relieved Yueyao's anxiety, and Xiang Wei came back from outside, her face was a little solemn: "Madam, it hasn't rained in Jiangnan for more than half a month. "Judging from the current situation, there is a real drought in Jiangnan this year.

Yueyao didn't think too much, because this drought was expected by her: "Is there any change in the imperial court?" It's been two months, and the court is already making a move.

Xiang Wei nodded and said: "In the past two months, someone has been buying a large amount of grain in several important grain producing areas, and the imperial court has also sent a minister to check the situation of the granary. Xiang Wei didn't say anything more about the other arrangements, because Yue Yao didn't understand these things to Yue Yao.

Yue Yao looked at Xiang Wei's appearance and asked, "Do you still have something to say?"

There are some things, if Yueyao doesn't ask about some things, she won't take the initiative to say some things, and if she asks, Xiang Wei won't hide it: "The people who buy grain are all the emperor's people, but I haven't heard that the household department has a large amount of money going out." Xiang Wei guessed that the money came from the emperor's private treasury.

Yue Yao was a little surprised that the emperor would take out his private money to buy food.

Xiang Wei saw that Yueyao didn't understand what she meant, and explained: "The emperor didn't ask for money from the household department, which means that outsiders don't know about this matter. This means that outsiders do not know that there will be a drought in Jiangnan now, and it also indirectly indicates that the emperor deliberately concealed this matter.

Yueyao couldn't cry or laugh a little: "It's good that outsiders don't know!" I don't want to be treated like a monster. ”

Xiang Wei's mood was actually a little complicated, she wanted Yueyao to take this opportunity to gain benefits, but she didn't want to cause trouble to Yueyao because of this matter. It's really tangled.

At the end of May, Lin Qinghan returned to the capital, and Lin Qinghan came back with a great posture, because she returned to Beijing with dozens of carts of things.

When Gu Lan heard the news, she couldn't help but say, "That's a lot of surprise!"

Xiang Wei said angrily: "She seems to be afraid that she doesn't know that he has a lot of things, I said, why is this woman getting more and more stupid?" Isn't she afraid that the imperial officials will impeach Tingzheng for corruption and bribery?"

Yueyao's focus was different, and she said to herself: "No wonder it takes two months to get from Haikou to the capital, so that's the case?" If you take a boat from Haikou to the capital, it will only take a little more than a month, but with so many things, it will be slow.

Xiang Wei looked at Yueyao: "You're not worried?"

Yue Yao said with a smile: "What's there to worry about, Lin Qinghan is not an idiot, and she didn't bring back the treasures of the six ships, it is estimated that what she brought back are all specialties from Haikou." ”

Xiang Wei expressed her helplessness that Yue Yao always didn't think about things in her way, and said with a snort: "She brought so many things this time, I want to see how many things she will send us." ”

Yueyao felt that Xiang Wei always liked to be honest with Lin Qinghan: "You are deliberately making yourself uncomfortable." "Don't say that she has a bad relationship with Lin Qinghan, even if she has a good relationship with Lin Qinghan, her husband's sister can be compared with her own family!

In less than three days, Xiang Wei knew the gap between the two sides, Lin Qinghan sent more than ten cars of good things to her mother's house, and only a dozen boxes were given to Yueyao, if there was no comparison with the Lin family, Yueyao's gifts were also rich, but with the Lin family's more than a dozen cars, this little thing for Yueyao was really not enough.

Yue Yao looked at Xiang Wei's angry appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Our family doesn't lack this little thing, are you like this?" You are deliberately making yourself uncomfortable, and you want to pull me into the water. "Yueyao really doesn't lack this thing, An Zhichen has his own shop in Haikou, and the seafood sent from Haikou every year is enough for them to eat, and they can usually use it to send it to people.

Xiang Wei just couldn't get angry: "What does she mean by this?" It's okay to send it in private, but it's annoying to see it when you move the things of the family to your parents' house with such a swagger. Xiang Wei saw that Yueyao still didn't react, thought for a while, and gave Yueyao a dose of fierce medicine: "Madam, have you ever thought that Lin Qinghan's gift to the Lin family was very thick in the past, but it was not as heavy as it is now." ”

Yue Yao agreed with Xiang Wei's words, this time Lin Qinghan sent something, it was indeed a little abnormal, Yue Yao looked at Wei with a smile and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Xiang Wei said his conjecture: "Do you think that Lin Qinghan knows that he can't give birth, so he can move things to his mother's house?" Madam, the foundation of the Marquis of Yongding Mansion was not thinner than that of the Marquis of Jingning when he was in Yingzong, if it weren't for the incident in the middle, no matter how big the Marquis of Yongding is now, he would not need to rely on his daughter-in-law's dowry to make up for it. ”

Yue Yao really didn't know the story of the Yongding Marquis Mansion decades ago.

Xiang Wei said: "Guan Jingxuan's grandfather, that is, the old marquis who has died, is not a son-in-law, but a concubine, Mrs. Tai at that time only gave birth to a daughter, and did not give birth to a son, and when this girl got married, Mrs. Tai gave her half of the property of the Hou Mansion as a dowry." ”

Yue Yao was a little incredulous: "Why haven't I heard of such a thing?" Half of Hou Ye's property will cost at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and if this is counted as an asset, it will definitely cause a sensation in the capital.

Xiang Wei smiled: "Do you think that Mrs. Tai is stupid, how can this thing be done on the bright side, it is naturally a subsidy from the bottom, when Emperor Yingzong, the Marquis of Yongding Mansion was only inferior to the Marquis of Jingning, if it wasn't for the fact that Mrs. Tai made a fuss, the Marquis of Yongding Mansion would not be so poor, and fortunately there was a Guan Jingshuo, otherwise, the Marquis of Yongding Mansion would definitely have to fall." ”

Who is Yue Yao, how can she not hear the meaning of Xiang Wei's words: "Are you saying that Lin Qinghan knows that she can't have a son, she will not only make up for her mother's family with a lot of money, but will also hollow out the Lian family for the sake of Wan Ting in the future." She doesn't care how Lin Qinghan and Tingzheng get along with his wife, and she doesn't want to care, but if she wants to empty the second room of the Lian family, this is definitely not something that Yueyao can tolerate.

Xiang Wei looked at Yueyao's expression and knew that she had listened to it, Xiang Wei breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, her master finally faced this problem, it was not easy! Xiang Wei's words just now were definitely not alarmist, looking at what Lin Qinghan was doing now, she really felt that Lin Qinghan would emulate the former lady of the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

Yue Yao pondered for a moment and said, "Let's talk about this matter after Ting Zheng comes back!" Even if Yue Yao wanted to take care of it, she couldn't take care of it now that Ting Zheng was away.

Lin Qinghan only went to the door of his home on the fifth day after returning to Beijing.

Yueyao saw Lin Qinghan coming over alone, her face was a little unsightly, even if the new brother born by Aunt Le was still young, but this child could travel for two months, so she couldn't bring it over to her, not to mention that Wanting was five years old now, and now she didn't even bring Wanting over.

Lin Qinghan saw that Yueyao asked about Wanting, and said with a smile: "Wanting and the two children of the new brother had a cold yesterday, so they can't come over, I will bring her over to visit my sister another day." ”

Yue Yao smiled, she also heard Xiang Wei say yesterday that Lin Qinghan took Wanting back to her parents' house, and it just so happened that Wanting caught a cold when she came to her house today.

Yueyao didn't bother to talk to Lin Qinghan anymore, exchanged a few words with Lin Qinghan, and asked the housekeeper to send Lin Qinghan away under the pretext of something, out of sight and out of mind.

Lin Qinghan's nurse Shi Pozi saw that she came back so soon, and hurriedly asked: "Madam...... Shi Pozi was uneasy, won't she quarrel with her aunt and grandmother again!"

Lin Qinghan snorted coldly: "It's such a big shelf, if it weren't for the etiquette, I wouldn't even bother to go to the door of her house." Thinking of Lian Yueyao becoming close friends with a prostitute, she felt very disgusted, even a person like Yueyao, how could she dare to let her daughter contact her, she didn't have to take her daughter with her.

Shi Pozi looked outside and saw that there was no one at the door, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Qing Qinghan sneered: "She has a face to do, I'm afraid she will hear it." Lin Qinghan was full of resentment towards Yueyao, if it weren't for Lian Yueyao, how could she have been passive when she was pregnant, if it wasn't for the fetal gas, would it cause her to have a difficult birth now? If she could give birth to a son, how could she let an aunt give birth to an eldest son, and all of this was caused by Lian Yueyao.

Mrs. Shi was also a little helpless, and now her wife seemed to have a demon sign, and decided that her difficulty in giving birth was caused by her aunt and grandmother Lian's family, and she hated Lian's family to the core.

Mrs. Shi has been in the Lian family for so many years, she knows very well the status of the Lian family in the heart of her master, and now the Lian family does not care about the matter between the master and the lady, but if the lady really annoys the Lian family, it will be her own wife who will suffer at that time, but Mrs. Shi does not dare to persuade more, she is afraid that she will persuade too much, and Mrs. will even annoy her.

Mrs. Shi is very careful, and her wife is now acting more and more impertinently, and she is really worried about her wife's future.
