Chapter 290: Xinguang City
Mrs. Yan's face was like dead ashes, looking at the fluttering piece of paper in front of her. A lot of things come back to mind. At the beginning, she was a boudoir woman who loved poetry and elegance, with beautiful appearance and outstanding talents, and she had always had the reputation of a talented woman. At that time, she was in the boudoir, and many families came to ask for it, and the Yan family also came to ask for marriage. She likes it very much, because she has read all the poems written by Yan Songbai, and she appreciates it very much, and thinks that Yan Songbai is a talented person, just right for her as a talented girl.
In this way, she married Yan Songbai, and she was very harmonious after marriage. Yan Songbai likes her beauty like a flower, likes to watch her recite poems and paint, and she likes Yan Songbai's tenderness to test the waters, and her demeanor. The two of them are really just as she imagined, and the happiness is going to overflow.
However, she suffered from the jealousy of her mother-in-law, who felt that she was only able to recite poetry, and did not bring the huge dowry she imagined, so she was always angry. Every time, Yan Songbai comforted her, making her feel that even if she was angry with her mother-in-law, it was not an uncomfortable thing.
Just when she was satisfied with her life, she unexpectedly found that the big girl next to her became loose and round, and soon straightened up her big belly.
This incident was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it woke her up directly. Her mother-in-law began to accuse her, saying that a maid was pregnant, and her stomach didn't move, which was really useless.
She listened to her mother-in-law's insults, but she couldn't get angry, so she went back to find an opportunity, and asked the people around her to give the maid a hard time, and the maid had a miscarriage, and then died. Since then, she is no longer immersed in the dreams of the wind and snow, and begins to take care of the people and things around her, just like that, she gave birth to children, dealt with concubines, dealt with her mother-in-law, and most of her life has passed in a blink of an eye. These decades. I don't know how many concubines, maids, and concubines who died in her hands, I don't know how many miscarriages and children died, only her son and daughter survived, and then later, she boiled her mother-in-law to death, and she became a mother-in-law. became an old feudal king. Even Yan Songbai let her. Her position is unbreakable.
But today, this piece of paper was so light that it was brought to her, and Yan Songbai wrote her a letter of resignation and asked her to go back to her parents' house immediately.
A woman in her fifties was divorced. How can this be imagined? From now on, her son will become a concubine, and her daughter will become a concubine, and she will be directed and oppressed in her in-law's house. How could she tolerate this.
She looked at her housewife's house. It is very magnificent, luxurious, atmospheric, and low-key, which she has accumulated all her life's savings. The title of this lady was also earned by her hard work. The phoenix crown of the fate was earned by her countless times to meet those powerful ladies and the queen's mother, and now, Yan Songbai is going to take these back with a fluttering piece of paper. How can this make her tolerate.
She laughed suddenly, and walked desolate to her makeup box. opened the box, only to see a piece of jewelry, these are her most cherished jewelry, but this is not what she wants now, she opened a mezzanine, this is what she wants. There are many small bottles and cans, these are her helpers, who have helped her solve problems countless times. Some made a woman abort, some sterilized a woman, some made a woman sick, some were poisonous, and now she needs this bottle of poison.
In the palace, Xu Wenchang came to the emperor again, standing with low eyebrows, the emperor frowned and asked, "What did you say?" Yan Songbai's wife died? Suicide? Take poison? ”
Xu Wenchang said: "Yes, the minister has been keeping an eye on the Yan Mansion, so he rushed here as soon as he got the news." ”
The emperor frowned and said, "Did you commit suicide or was you killed by Yan Songbai?" Could it be that Yan Songbai wants to kill people? ”
Xu Wenchang did not speak. When she came, the princess confessed, and it was best to be silent, so that the father would be suspicious.
Sure enough, the emperor became suspicious: "If it was really this stupid woman who attacked that slave out of jealousy, how could she kill herself?" Moreover, if a young woman is jealous, I believe that Mrs. Yan is already in her fifties, and there are concubines in the family, and there are concubines who have given birth to sons, why don't you be jealous, why should you be jealous of your slaves? She is already a person who knows the destiny of heaven, she has children and grandchildren, she has become an old feudal king, and her status is unbreakable, why should she be jealous of a concubine who has been sold? This can make her not hesitate to offend the most powerful princess of the dynasty, but also forcibly arrest people, which must be more than jealousy. She has someone behind her, who can this person be? It must be Yan Songbai, but why did Yan Songbai do this? There is someone behind Yan Songbai, which one will it be? The Chen family, impossible, the Chen family is Yan Songbai's mortal enemy, that is the Li family, or the Wang family, by the way, Yan Songbai is the prince's person, so why did the Wang family do this? Do they also want to grow overseas? ”
Xu Wenchang's stomach hurt with laughter, the emperor actually made up these things in his brain, and he deserved to be a generation of saints.
Xu Wenchang just looks at the nose and the nose looks at the heart.
Xu Wenchang shouted in his heart, hurry up and kill Yan Songbai, hurry up and kill Yan Songbai, this time they have been planning for so long to kill Yan Songbai, which is equivalent to cutting off the prince's arm.
But he was disappointed, and the emperor pondered for a while and said: "You have to monitor Yan Songbai closely, you don't need to monitor it, I will naturally send someone to monitor him, I can't kill him, I want to keep him and see which big fish is caught." ”
I have long known that the emperor has another force to monitor hundreds of officials, and sure enough, although Xu Wenchang is very curious, he wisely chooses to be silent.
Back in the house, the princess had a high belly and asked with concern, "How is it?" Did my father make a decree to kill that Yan Songbai? ”
Xu Wenchang gently touched the princess's belly and said, "No." ”
The princess was a little disappointed: "There's no reason, how can it be possible that Yan Songbai hasn't been killed yet?" Didn't my father suspect Yan Songbai? ”
Xu Wenchang said: "It's not that there is no suspicion, it's that he is too suspicious, the emperor suspects that he is ordered by the Wang family or the Li family, or it may be the Bai family, he wants to keep Yan Songbai to see what big fish can be caught." Moreover, our manpower must be withdrawn quickly, because below, the emperor will personally transfer people to supervise Yan Songbai. ”
Princess Lichuan laughed and said: "How can it be such an ending, we have tried our best, and Wan Shuhui was beaten for this, didn't she just want to kill Yan Songbai?" Why do you want to keep it? How can you explain to Wen Hui and Wan Shuhui now? ”
The next day, Princess Lichuan called Wan Shuhui and told her the outcome of the matter.
Wan Shuhui was silent for a while, and said to the princess: "Although I didn't kill Yan Songbai, if I can kill Mrs. Yan, my revenge can be regarded as half avenging." Thank you, princess. ”
Princess Lichuan said: "Don't worry, my father will kill him sooner or later, but he will only keep him for the time being, and after this incident, he will definitely not dare to touch you again." You're safe. Also, you've been in the limelight lately, so I'll advise you to go somewhere else for a few days, so that you can avoid these rights and wrongs. ”
Wan Shuhui said: "I have planned for this, Miss Wen Hui also said, as soon as the matter is over, let me go to Shanghai City to be a town, the banking business here has been done, and I have also cultivated the shopkeeper, even if I am not there, it will also work." I still have to sit in Shanghai to coordinate. ”
Princess Lichuan nodded and said, "It's okay to go back, and talk to Wen Hui by the way." ”
A few days later, Wan Shuhui returned to Shanghai and told Wen Hui in detail what had happened. Wen Hui frowned and said, "It's a pity, this can also let Yan Songbai escape." However, the princess was right, once the emperor became suspicious of him, his death time would come. It's just a matter of time. Have you made all the arrangements in Shanghai? ”
Wan Shuhui said: "It's all arranged, the shopkeeper is very familiar with the business, and he will definitely be able to manage it well." The capital is really rich, and it has only been since we opened the semicolon, and we have more than 3 million taels in deposits. I have already lent out a part of it, and I have also set up a relationship with the Ministry of Industry of the DPRK and the Central Committee, and the loan to the Ministry of Industry has reached more than 2 million taels. ”
Wen Hui nodded and said: "Since this is the case, I will propose one million taels and return it to Wang Yihe, even if I borrowed the silver from our bank, the interest will be given to myself, which is much better than giving it to Wang Yihe." ”
Wan Shuhui thought about it and agreed. Then he said to Wen Hui: "After we return the money to Wang Yihe, the girl doesn't need to borrow another million taels, you still have more than 400,000 taels of silver in our bank, as long as you borrow 600,000 taels of silver." ”
Wen Hui shook her head and said, "I still have to borrow one million taels, and the four hundred thousand taels can't be moved, I plan to buy land on Yizhou Island." ”
Wan Shuhui was very surprised: "Is so much money buying land on Yizhou Island?" The land on Yizhou Island is so cheap, how much do you have to buy? I'm afraid it's going to be millions of acres? Is there so much land? ”
Wen Hui said with a smile: "Not only to buy land, Yizhou Island is also going to build a city, I also have to buy a shop, I think the new Yizhou Island Sea Trade City, the housing price must be able to catch up with Shanghai City." Of course it's the future, not yet. Therefore, it is necessary to buy a little more and invest early to make a lot of money. Would you like to invest in some too? ”
Wan Shuhui said with some emotion: "I don't have that much money, but I also want to invest some." ”
Speaking of this, Wan Shuhui asked again: "I don't know what this new sea trade city is called?" Why did we have a territory in the Wa Kingdom and did not build a city, we had a territory in Silla and did not build a city, and we had a territory in Goguryeo and did not build a city, and this Yiju Island was a newly developed place, but we built a city instead? ”
Wen Hui smiled and said, "Because this is our own place." This time, the emperor gave this Yizhou Sea Trade City a new name, called Xinguang City. ”
Wen Hui thought in her heart that the emperor didn't follow Fusu's line of thought, originally she thought that the emperor would name the new city Taipei.
