Chapter 296: The Way Out
After the winter, there have been several snowfalls, this year's snow is particularly heavy, this is the root of the year, and there is a heavy snowfall, get up early in the morning, Li Luan'er felt a chill through the window, sat up in a cloak, and called Ruizhu to come in and ask: "But it's snowing again?" ”
Rui Zhu smiled: "But isn't it, it started to rain last night, and it was half the night, and now it's no longer over the feet and necks." ”
"This year, the people are getting more and more sad." Yan Chengyue, who was grooming, turned his head and glanced at Li Luan'er: "Did our Zhuangzi send a New Year's gift?" ”
"Sent some." Li Luan'er smiled: "I know that this year's harvest is not very good, so I exempted some silver, thinking that the farmers can live the year." ”
"That's exactly how it should be." Yan Chengyue also smiled: "After all, we don't lack these silver envoys on Zhuangzi, and it is good to reduce some of them, which can be regarded as a good deed." ”
"I don't care if it's good or not." Li Luan'er got out of bed and cleaned her face with the silver basin that the girl had held: "I just don't like the life of the farmers under my name is too bad, it always comes down to how much harvest there can be, even if the farmers are skinned and bone-cut, how much silver can be removed, it is really better to do some affordable trading to make money." ”
Speaking of this, Li Luan'er remembered something again: "I met Mrs. Gu a few days ago, and when I heard her mention the business of sea trade, I also wanted to participate in it, what do you think?" ”
Yan Chengyue didn't think about it and said: "It's good if you think it's good, you don't need to ask me about family matters, you just decide." ”
Li Luan'er laughed more and more: "I'm not afraid that you will take me for the guilt of losing all the silver, in the end, you are the head of the family, and I have to ask your opinion." ”
"If you lose everything, you will lose everything." Yan Chengyue didn't care about this, and waved his hand: "If the silver is gone, you can earn it again." ”
Li Luan'er also knew that he didn't fancy these things, so she didn't ask, and she didn't tell him the little abacus in her heart.
Li Luan'er had already calculated an account, this sea trade business was very profitable, she did such a business, she didn't dare to sail far, so she first bought a boat to walk along the coastline, first went to Baekje Goryeo and other countries to sell some silk porcelain, and then brought the jewelry, gold and silver of these two countries back to the Dayong Dynasty, so back and forth, the profit is more than ten times, go twice a year, do it for a few years, and you don't have to worry about anything.
The Gu family turned out to be rich and noble, and it was not a sea trade business in the south, but after Uncle Gu was seriously ill, the Gu family had no leisure to do sea trade anymore, and now Mrs. Gu wanted to revitalize the Gu family, so she promoted those old people who did sea trade again, and prepared to take the sea route again, the Gu family is very experienced in this area, but it is not wrong to follow his family to do business.
mentioned the matter of the Zhuang household, Li Luan'er showed Yan Chengyue the list of annual gifts sent to the Yan family's old house, Yan Chengyue just glanced at it twice and nodded in agreement, and after a while, he mentioned it to Li Luan'er: "In a few days, I will send a dowry gift to the second brother and sister's house, if you are free, go home and take a look, if you are not empty, forget it." ”
Yan Chengyue's cold attitude made Li Luan'er feel relieved, knowing that he and the Lin family had completely separated, and there was no need to worry about being angry with his mother-in-law in the future.
In fact, Li Luan'er doesn't have to worry at all, since she served the Lin family that time, the Lin family didn't dare to provoke her, not to mention making her angry, but she had to be raised for a long time when she saw her.
"I know, I will go back that day." Li Luan'er smiled, and was about to ask someone to set the meal, when she saw Ruixin come in with a bitter face: "Young grandma, Ma Fang just sent a letter saying that he asked you to go back, saying that there is something to discuss, you said that how to go back on this snowy day, it is inconvenient for carriages and horses to travel." ”
"What about the Ma Fang?" Li Luan'er hurriedly asked when she heard this.
Rockchip spread his hand: "I sent the letter and replied." ”
"But there's something going on at home." Yan Chengyue pushed the wheelchair over and asked, "I'll ask Yan Yi to prepare the car for a while, and I'll go back with you." ”
Li Luan'er didn't speak, she went out to look at the large snowflakes falling from the sky outside, and said to Yan Chengyue when she returned to the house: "The weather outside is too cold, and the road is not easy to walk, I don't know how much time I will take to go, if it freezes hard, your legs should hurt again when you come back, so I'll go back by myself." ”
Speaking of this, she smiled and pressed Yan Chengyue's shoulder: "The portrait you painted for me yesterday hasn't been finished yet, I'm anxious to see, you can polish it at home today, and take a look when I come back." ”
"Okay." Yan Chengyue was very helpful to Li Luan'er's concern, and agreed with a smile: "I asked Yan Yi and Yan Er to go back with you." ”
After a while, there were girls going back and forth, Steward Zhou had already asked someone to prepare the carriage, Yan Chengyue personally handed Li Luan'er the hand stove, and explained a few words before sending her out.
Li Luan'er sat in the carriage, and felt a burst of warmth, and took a closer look at the four walls of the carriage were wrapped with cotton pants, and thick cotton mats were also laid on the ground, and a large copper kettle was placed in the center of the carriage, which was filled with more than half a pot of boiling water, and the warmth in the carriage was exuded by this copper kettle.
She found a cotton cushion and sat down, and explained that the coachman was careful and hurried, and then pulled Ruizhu Ruixin and laughed.
After most of the day, the carriage arrived at Li's house, and when Li Luan'er got out of the car, she saw that the snowflakes were drifting bigger, and the northwest wind was blowing, and the cold wind was biting, and it was like a knife cut on her face.
She put the cloak and hat on her head, fastened the strap, and led the two girls into the door in the wind and snow.
Walked all the way, entered the backyard and walked through the corridor into Mrs. Jin's house, Mrs. Jin had already received the letter, and had already called Li Chun and his wife to wait there.
When Li Luan'er entered the house, a little girl came to serve diligently, took the cloak she took off and hung it up, and took her hand stove and placed it.
"Luan girl, come and sit here."
Mrs. Jin was sitting on the edge of the smoker, and when she saw Li Luan'er coming, she smiled and beckoned to her: "It's warm here, you just came in from outside and hurried over to warm up." ”
Li Luan'er agreed and walked over, sat down on the edge of the smoker, and only after sitting down did she ask: "Madame asked Ma Fang to bring me a letter, what is the matter?" ”
"Alas!" Mrs. Jin sighed first: "It's Feng'er's business, we haven't come up with an idea after thinking about it for a long time, and we really can't call you here, on such a snowy day, if it's okay, where am I willing to toss you." ”
"Feng'er?" Li Luan'er was taken aback: "Feng'er had an accident in the palace?" ”
"Sister, sit down first." Mrs. Gu sat Li Luan'er down: "Little sister didn't have an accident, she just brought the letter back and asked us to think of a way for her." ”
As she spoke, Mrs. Gu handed over Li Feng'er's letter.
Li Luan'er took it, read it at a glance and read it in ten lines, and covered her thoughts.
That day, when she and Yan Chengyue talked about Dayong Wubei, they actually already had some ideas in their hearts, and today it happened that Li Feng'er came to the letter, which made her even more determined, she packed the letter, looked at Mrs. Jin, and then looked at Mrs. Gu, and saw that both of them were looking at her, so she smiled: "Feng'er is not out of the question." ”
"Say it quickly."
Mrs. Kim asked anxiously.
"If the girl has a way, hurry up." Mrs. Gu also asked with a smile.
Li Luan'er winked at Mrs. Gu and smiled: "There is a way, it depends on how the sister-in-law chooses, whether the sister-in-law can give up her brother, if she can, Feng'er will do it." ”
"What's there to be reluctant to." Mrs. Gu also smiled heartily: "You are our sister-in-law, can you still harm us." ”
Speaking of which, Li Luan'er also explained the truth: "Speaking of which, I already have some ideas, I want to ask my brother to win fame, just thinking that my sister-in-law is inconvenient now, if I call my brother away, my sister-in-law will inevitably be reluctant, so I want to wait for my sister-in-law to give birth and then think about it carefully, now Feng'er proposed to call us ideas, this is the way I can think of, if my sister-in-law is willing to let my brother go away, I will say it, if I want my brother to stay at home with you, I won't say it." ”
"What the hell is that?" Mrs. Gu was even more anxious.
Li Chun was also anxious at this time: "I, I'm not willing to let Wan'er ......"
"Dalang." Mrs. Gu turned her head to look at Li Chun: "I know you don't worry about me, but this is about Feng'er, we can't ignore it, besides, this is just a temporary expedient measure, and you can't go back, where is there any reason to be reluctant." ”
"My sister-in-law is a person who understands." Li Luan'er smiled and nodded: "I have long been thinking about my brother's way out, my brother is the pillar of our family, and he must always have the appearance of a pillar, now the family population is simple, but there are three children to feed after brother, if you are not motivated, what can the children eat and drink, besides, Feng'er has to rely on her brother in the palace......
"I ......" Although Li Chun was stupid, he also knew what was wrong, and as soon as he heard that it was about his children and Feng'er, he quickly changed his words: "My sister said, I'll do it." ”
Seeing Li Chun's determined look, Li Luan'er said one by one: "Brother can't succeed in the text, we only have to think about the martial arts, my brother has a lot of strength, and some fists and feet, ordinary ten or eight big men are not close, he has this advantage, if he is in the army, he can't say that he can do something, just the official family wants to deter Waifan, I thought, if you call my brother to go, call those people in Waifan to also take a look, our Dayong Dynasty is a weak boy is also a strength to pull out the mountain." ”
"I'm ......" Li Chun was a little scared as soon as he heard that he was asked to fight.
If you tell him to do some hard work, or if you tell him to go up to the mountains to hunt, he is not afraid, but this beating...... Li Chun has never beaten anyone, so he really doesn't know what to do.
"Brother, don't be afraid, I'll go with you when the time comes." Li Luan'er understood Li Chun's thoughts, and comforted him with a smile: "Brother, Feng'er was bullied in the palace, we can't ignore her, if my brother shows more power in front of the officials and hundreds of officials, and beats the bad guys, those people will be afraid, and no one will dare to bully Feng'er in the future." ”
In order to make Li Chun more determined, Li Luan'er could only coax like this.
As soon as Li Chun heard that Feng'er was being bullied in the palace, he immediately became anxious: "Don't, Feng'er is bullied, I will beat, beat the bad guys, fall into the flowers, call the official, know that I am powerful, treat Feng'er well." ”R1152
