Chapter 177: Imagine a better future
"......" Mu Lingxuan opened her mouth and didn't speak. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lan Jiayin said this, he really couldn't react, and after a pause, he explained: "But since the next generation, Mrs. Zizi and Mrs. Hou are both sitting in Pingjing......"
"I just thought about it, it seems that my grandmother didn't follow my grandfather to the border, I'm afraid that what you think about now won't be able to realize it when the time comes."
Lan Jiayin smiled brightly when she heard this, "Hey, I see that Madame is in good spirits, let's ...... in the future Then bring it to her, it's too late for her to be happy, and she will definitely not support me to go to the border with you......"
She knows no more, children are as important as husbands, but if you want to have a good relationship with your mother-in-law, you must pay something, what is the rarest thing in Liang Wenyu's heart, can Lan Jiayin not know?
In her previous life, she didn't know how many times she whispered in her ear, "Xuan'er is good at everything, but she doesn't get married, which makes me sad too much, you say, I'm sixty this year, and I can't even hold a grandson!" ”
"Ah no, I don't want my eldest grandson anymore, even if it's a granddaughter, but why doesn't this dead child want to fulfill me?"
At that time, Lan Jiayin really had calluses in her ears, so once she had to exchange something, she could make her mother-in-law completely on her side, wouldn't she find the right thing all at once?
Just think about it, if Lan Jiayin is willing to let Liang Wenyu take care of the fragrant and soft baby, not to mention that she wants to follow Mu Lingxuan to the border, even if Liang Wenyu is asked to hand over the housekeeper immediately, that person can only nod!
Besides, Liang Wenyu is in Fugui Township, and he has always maintained his body very well, when he was sixty years old, he still looked like a noble lady in her forties, and the housekeeper director was not a problem at all, she was a reliable mother-in-law.
It's just that when he wants to talk about his non-existent child, someone still can't help blushing, and his voice is getting lower and lower, until he can't hear a sound at all.
Mu Lingxuan listened to such beautiful words, looking at the extraordinarily moving person, her whole chest of joy wanted to explode, and she took Lan Jiayin's hand, and her heart was full of mixed feelings, and she couldn't make a sound for a long time.
If it weren't for Yu Cheng coming over and saying that the master had invited the prince to go to the study in front of him to talk, the two of them would be afraid that they would not be able to hold hands and face each other, and they would grow old in a wasteland?
The elders are invited, where do you dare to procrastinate?
Lan Jiayin reluctantly watched Mu Lingxuan leave and go to the front yard to see his father.
She was still sitting in the hall, reminiscing about what she had just said, every word, after the sweetness, she couldn't help but be a little worried, "I don't know what my father is looking for Ah Xuan to do?" ”
"Is the construction of the Zhoushui Canal not going well? Or was it the heavy snowstorm last winter that led to a bad harvest for the people this year? ”
I was worried, and I forgot about the sourness.
As everyone knows, Lan Mingdong wanted to transfer a capable person from the barracks, so that he could help in the construction of the Zhoushui Canal.
Once it involves the military camp, it is bound to have a conversation with Mu Detai, originally he wanted to go to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion in person and talk to his in-laws in detail, but didn't he hear that his son-in-law came to the door, so why bother to go far?
At that moment, let people invite their future uncle over, and tell Mu Lingxuan in detail who the person he wanted to call and why he was calling, and let him go back and tell Mu Detai to know.
"Oh, I see, the little nephew really didn't expect that there was such a person hidden in the Iron Shield Camp, since this person was tired by the Ministry of Works, so he was exiled to the Pingjing camp, then the little nephew will tell his father when he goes back, and let someone bring this person to you, but you still ask someone carefully to see if he is really talented, or if he is boastful, only a false name." Mu Lingxuan's request for his future father-in-law would definitely not refuse, but the contempt for the exiled official in his tone was not concealed at all.
Who made our prince have a bad impression of the six members of the capital?
He felt that this person named Gu Jiachuan was also a well-known master, but he didn't have any real material.
Lan Mingdong listened to his words, but smiled faintly, and then patiently explained to his son-in-law, "This Gu Jiachuan is the left waiter of the former Ministry of Engineering, Tian Landao, who studied under Jiangdong, and has his own set of things in river work, but the luck is not good, the top boss is greedy, if you want to be promoted, you have to honor him, if you want to do practical things, you also have to honor him, in a word, you have to exchange silver for whatever you want to do." ”
"Gu Jiachuan is not a pedantic person, he paid out of his own pocket to buy the right to repair the river in Weishui South Beach, but he didn't expect that Li Chang, an old thing, would recruit him when he was in prison."
"Even if the saint knows that he has extenuating circumstances, but at that time, King Yan's rebellion was very involved, and there was no need to pardon one person alone, so Gu Jiachuan was exiled by the whole family here, and now it is cheaper for us."
As soon as he said this, Mu Lingxuan immediately understood, and sighed lightly: "It turns out that this Gu Jiachuan is innocent." ”
couldn't help but complain, "What's the matter, has our court of the Great Zhou Dynasty become like this?" ”
"If officials want to do something practical for the people, they have to pay out of their own pockets?"
"I can't get the credit, but he is the one who carries the black pot, I think Gu Jiachuan is also a big heart, but anyone who is small-minded is afraid that he will be angry to death!"
He had a lot of contact with Lan Mingdong, and he really respected this person, but later after the two became Weng's son-in-law, not only did they not get along like ordinary Weng sons-in-law, but they were also very affectionate and easy-going.
Lan Mingdong has personally experienced this son-in-law's ability, and he is very satisfied with this half-son, and he feels that this martial son-in-law is more comfortable than the original Wen son-in-law.
Therefore, he does not treat him as an outsider, he really treats him as his own child, and he always mentions and teaches openly and secretly when he speaks and acts, which can be regarded as a master and apprentice.
Seeing that Lan Mingdong listened, he really smiled and waved his hand, and said a different point of view gently, "Ah Xuan, your idea is also right or wrong, you must know that Gu Jiachuan took over the river work, and he still has to make money on the whole, but he has the people in mind, and the river will be built stronger, and he will earn less. ”
"As for being implicated by Shangguan and exiled to the West, on the surface, it seems that he is indeed quite unlucky, but since ancient times, blessings and misfortunes have depended on each other, you see, now Gu Jiachuan has no hope of coming out again?"
"Being able to exert his strength on the Zhou Shui Canal, his achievements in the future Gu Jiachuan are much higher than those of the Ministry of Industry in the capital."
What Mu Lingxuan said was a matter of facts, but what Lan Mingdong said was the result of foresight, I have to say that this ginger is still old and spicy.
"......" Mu Lingxuan listened to it with pleasure and sincerity, he is also a military general, and it is no problem to lead troops to fight, but these twists and turns are much worse than that of his father-in-law.
Lan Mingdong is teaching him, Mu Lingxuan is also sincerely convinced by the methods of civil officials, and he can't help but be glad that he doesn't have to serve Junqian.
If you really have to think about every word and deed like this before you can implement it, then don't be too tired.
In contrast, Mu Lingxuan still wants to choose to live simply.
Lan Mingdong was able to impress Mu Detai that day and agreed to marry the two families, Zhou Shuiqu is the most vital part, as long as it is for the construction of the canal, Mu Detai has nothing to support.
Mu Lingxuan and his father-in-law talked for an hour, and together with Lan Hongsen, who came later, they accompanied the elders to eat.
In the evening, when he went home, he told Mu Detai about Gu Jiachuan and knew that the next day, Gu Jiachuan was sent to the mansion hall with his baggage.
After completing the things entrusted by his father-in-law, Mu Lingxuan's heart was relieved, and the pressure suddenly decreased, but as soon as he picked up an official document from the bookcase for review, he heard the footsteps outside, and someone said, "Lord Shizi, Mr. Ren Wansha Ren asks to see you." ”
Mu Lingxuan hurriedly invited his henchmen in, Ren Wansha didn't care about greetings, and he didn't have time to taste tea, so he handed over his hand and got down to business first, "Lord Shizi, my subordinate uncle came to my house yesterday and said that Fang Jingyi Fang wanted to see you, and she had some important news to tell you in person." ”
Mu Lingxuan couldn't help but feel sullen for a while when she heard this, frowned, and said coldly: "What's the matter with her, can't tell you directly?" ”
"I'm different from her men and women, it's better not to meet, if you listen to her information if it's true, it's also useful to us, and the reward is heavy."
He is not stupid, he has a lot of eyes, he naturally knows that Lan Jiayin is still quite concerned about this woman, and he is stupid to go up without reason, if he has nothing to provoke, who will he talk to?
These dogskin things, it's better to hide as far as you can.
Ren Wansha has been married for many years, and only bought a beautiful concubine last year, I don't know where it is true that this Fang girl has something to do, but it is not false to want to leave an impression in front of the prince.
In line with the rules of his confidants, he wanted to thread the needle and lead the way from it, so that his master could hold the beauty, but the master did not admit it at all!
It's really a good thing to come and come back with a bad mood......
Ren Wansha got out of the Hou Mansion and went straight to the Wanbao Pavilion on South Street, and after a while, he saw Fang Jingyi, processed the original words of the prince, and told the beauty euphemistically.
Fang Jingyi is a smart person, and she was very disappointed in her heart, but she still knew how to make a trade-off, and she didn't have much hypocrisy at the moment, so she told Ren Wansha what she overheard and told Ren Wansha.
It turned out that Fang Jingyi went to the largest brothel in Pingjing-Caiyun Pavilion to make an appointment that day, and she went to design the jewelry to be worn on the day of the Wanhua Festival next month for the popular top peony.
Peony is rich, Caiyun Pavilion is powerful, and the high price of six hundred taels of silver is offered, allowing her to design a set of brilliant heads for the top brand.
Such a high price comes with two requirements, first, this Wanhua Festival can only accept the business of Caiyun Pavilion's family.
Second, for the sake of secrecy, she must go to the peony's yard every day to draw pictures.
Such a profitable business is only once a year, Fang Jingyi naturally agreed, who knows, one day when she got up and moved her muscles, she inadvertently touched the organ of the study, and in the dark room that suddenly opened, she heard the third master of the Mu family after he was drunk, and he even vented his heartfelt words to Peony with complaints.
Ren Wansha didn't expect that it was about his second master, third master, this is not a trivial matter, he knew the seriousness of this matter, and before he finished listening, he solemnly instructed Jingyi in advance, "Today's words come out of your mouth and into my ears, don't let anyone know, your life was saved by my family's grandfather, this time, your important information can be regarded as repaying his life-saving grace." ”
"In addition, you can also put forward a condition, and I will help you tell the prince to know."
Fang Jingyi lowered her head and was silent when she heard this, and after a while, she smiled lightly, "The little woman didn't ask for anything in return, but since you said so, the little woman will also keep it in mind, and when she thinks of what to do in the future, she will naturally tell you what she knows, and right now, there are really no conditions to mention." ”
I have to say that this trick is based on retreat as advance, Fang Jingyi used it very well, and did not repay it with gratitude, which made Ren Wansha look at Fang Jingyi with admiration, and secretly thought: "This woman is knowledgeable and interesting, and her color is good, it is the most suitable to be a confidant of the prince." ”
"It's that the prince cares about Miss Lan in his heart, the two of them are sticky, if you want the prince to be interested in other women, I'm afraid you have to wait."
I can't help but feel sorry for Fang Jingyi.
When he knew the ins and outs of the matter, he hurried back to the Hou Mansion and told the master that Mu Lingxuan knew Mu Yisheng's true thoughts after listening to Ren Wansha's words, and he was really a little ridiculous, "Co-author, not all brothers want me to die!" ”
After thinking about it, he beckoned to Ren Wansha, and arranged it like this, I have to say that Fang Jingyi's news not only came in a timely manner, but also was particularly useful.
As long as he knows that the Mu Yisheng brothers are not a monolith, Mu Lingxuan can see the stitches, find the best opportunity, and take them down in one fell swoop, away from Lan Jiayin and Lu, but for more than a year, Mu Lingxuan wants to clean up his home as soon as possible.
What he wants to give his little girl is a warm and happy home, not like his mother, who intrigues with women in the backyard all day long, and is careful every step of the way.
In Mu Lingxuan's opinion, his father and father-in-law, he admires his father-in-law more, although this one is much older than his mother-in-law, but he also acts much more prudently.
The Lan family also has concubines, but the father-in-law has always cared for only the mother-in-law, and the direction of the wind in the backyard is extremely clear, even if those concubines have a small calculation in their hearts, they dare not expose it easily.
How is it like his father, he is very good to the wife of the main room, and he also pities the concubine, machismo, pity the weak and the poor, so that the concubine feels very important in his heart, and feels that with this difference, he can argue with the wife of the house!
Mu Lingxuan compared the two of them, and inadvertently, his heart instantly became clear, "It turns out that whether Yinyin and I can live happily ever after each other depends mainly on my attitude, Yinyin is my favorite woman, and living with her is my greatest yearning, but how to live a happy life, you still need to manage it well." ”
When he came back to his senses, he felt that it was really a good idea to go to the border with Lan Jiayin in the future, and the two of them would live alone in the world of two people!
