283 surprises
Yang Lan is also very busy in Fujian, unlike Fuchun County, you can live some leisurely days, Fuchun County is also a small place in the bustling, you don't need to deal with so many people, but Fujian is different, there are many officials here who are under the control of the governor, all of them are Rongyi's subordinates, but they have their own, they belong to different camps, the complexity is far more powerful than Fuchun County, and the means of the people here are more unscrupulous and ruthless than the imperial capital.
The so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, if it is not in our interests, we will kill you, anyway, it is too late for the people in the capital to know the Tao, and the most important thing is to get benefits.
In the past year or so, Yang Lan herself has encountered two assassinations and three poisonings, once at the banquet of the official's wife, once in the restaurant, and once in her own home, which shows the degree of danger.
And Rong Yi has far more dangers than her, Yang Lan can not do much, she can only screen the servants in the family over and over again, and she is more and more cautious and cautious when she befriends the official's wife, and the two of them must bring their own soldiers when they go out, and they must serve people who know martial arts by their side.
This place is close to the coast, the interests of the merchant ships are huge, they came for a year, the big boss of the merchant ship dock immediately sent a generous gift, all kinds of pearls into boxes said to be for Yang Lan to play with his face, gold, silver and jewelry with the box, without blinking, all kinds of rare treasures are countless.
Yang Lan was startled when she received the gift at that time, she thought that she had also seen a baby and seen a little bit of the world, she was not a poor person in her two lives, she had never seen money, and she had never seen an antique baby, but that day she did lose her temper, looking at the coral tree as high as a small tree, and there were all kinds of gems hanging on it. It's really glittering. It's hard not to get excited.
Until Rong Yi came back, she was still stupid. Still wondering what to do with this thing?
Wealth and opportunity coexist, opportunities and risks are twins, Rong Yi accepted gifts generously, integrated Fujian's resources, and those political enemies played with their hearts and minds, playing tricks, danger was always around, and Yang Lan was responsible for befriending the official's wife. Find out what their intentions are, which faction they belong to, and fight side by side with Rong Yi.
Every day, no matter how tired she is, she will write down what she sees and hears, hide the danger in the story, and dissolve it lightly, as a joke story for her son and his family, so that they can be happy.
After a year of hard work, Rong Yi finally gained a firm foothold, which was still because Fujian was Yang Xu's base camp, and there were people inside and outside to protect and help. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult.
Because of the relationship between merchant ships, Fujian is a large taxpayer of the imperial court every year. Second only to the salt tax in Jiangnan, it can be imagined that the thrilling here is not less than that of Yangzhou in Jiangnan.
After a year of understanding and probing, Rong Yi finally had some numbers in his heart and had a clear understanding of the relationship between various places.
On this day, Yang Lan was painting in the courtyard, and Lamei came over to say, "Master, Mrs. Li came to ask for peace." ”
Yang Lan raised her head and asked, "Which Mrs. Li family?" ”
Lamei pursed her lips and smiled, "Master, you forgot, it's the Li family of the merchant ship." ”
Yang Lan raised her head and thought for a moment, "Did you give me the Li family the coral tree?" ”
"That's right, it's his house." Lamei is sure of the other side.
Yang Lan put down the pen and pondered for a moment before saying, "Go and invite in." As he spoke, he put down his rolled up sleeves, brushed his hair, and walked slowly towards the small hall.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Mrs. Li wearing a red satin gown with flowers and flowers, a ginger embroidered ivy-embroidered Bafuxiang skirt, and two hairpins on her head.
Seeing Yang Lan come in, Mrs. Li took the first step to get up and salute, "The grass people have asked the county lord to say goodbye." ”
Yang Lanxu raised his hand and smiled lightly, "No need to be polite, sit down." ”
Mrs. Li smiled and sat down, "I've wanted to come to greet the county lord for a long time, but I haven't been available." Lottery players have some courtesy, not a tribute but also a smile. ”
Yang Lan smiled and nodded, didn't look at the gift list sent by the maid, just waved her hand to take it down, and smiled and invited Mrs. Li to tea.
This Mrs. Li is a well-known local merchant ship family in Fujian, his family not only has merchant ships to go to sea, but also builds ships, and many military ships are also from her family's hands, and she can be regarded as a figure with hands and eyes.
"Madame, is there something wrong with this time?" Yang Lan smiled politely and detached.
"That's the case, our merchant ship has been in some trouble recently, thinking that if the equilibrium group is willing, our family is willing to give the county lord half of the dry shares, just to report safety." Mrs. Li was also simply, and she came up to explain her intentions.
"Oh, why did Madame say that, but someone has embarrassed you?" Yang Lan smelled a different meaning,
Mrs. Li was also a little puzzled, didn't she say that it was difficult for her to seek wealth in the other direction? Could it be that we misunderstood? I had some doubts in my heart, and I talked about the things that have always been embarrassed by people at the dock these days.
Yang Lan pondered for a moment and said: "I really don't know about this matter, when my father-in-law comes back, I will ask him, if it is unreasonable, he will definitely seek justice for you." ”
Mrs. Li got the words, and felt much more at ease, and said goodbye with a smile.
Yang Lan waited for Rong Yi to come back and told the matter, Rong Yi was not surprised, "It's nothing, the Li family has been a little arrogant over the years, and the people in the army are a little blind, give him a lesson, so that he will not think that he can build a ship. ”
"Okay, but will these two percent of dry stocks be too much? As far as I know, it's not young or old. Yang Lan also thinks it's too much, and there are a lot of dry shares, not to mention hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
This rich is naturally a businessman, especially the danger of going to sea is very great, but the oil and water are also dozens of times that of other industries, they will take out porcelain bowls, tea and other things to exchange for silver benefits beyond everyone's imagination, if you don't make money, how can you be so generous, a give is twenty percent of dry shares.
"It's okay, our family keeps one percent of the cadre shares, and the remaining one percent of the cadre shares are used to reward the people in the army, and part of it is sent back to the prince of the capital, and the rest is kept to take care of the disabled and retired people in the army, this is an old example." Rong Yi said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll get the idea." Yang Lan nodded in response.
Rong Yi saw that she was writing and painting again, and asked, "What about writing to my son again?" ”
"Well, I don't know how Lu Dao's son is studying? My father came to me a few days ago and asked me if I wanted my son to learn internal skills. I think it's good. What do you see? Yang Lan thought of the smile on her son's face and became gentle and loving.
"It's not impossible. But you can't get married so early after learning the inner skills, aren't you worried? Rong Yi asked with a smile.
Yang Lan raised her head and said: "Actually, I have never wanted Brother Yu to get married too early, one is that the boy matures late, and the other is that he is young and curious about women who have not experienced it, I am afraid that he is breaking his body, thinking that there is a binding force for him to learn internal family skills, and getting married later also has the advantage of getting married later, as long as the child is motivated and does not learn badly." Are you afraid that there will be no good girls to marry? ”
Regarding the fact that her son is going to get married when he is a teenager, Yang Lan is very resistant in her heart, how can she get married when she is still a child who has not grown up? She has always been worried about this, even if she doesn't take a concubine or something, she doesn't want her son to be delayed at a young age in beauty and affection, so she raises her hands and feet to agree with the practice of internal family skills, this reason can be fair and honest to let her son get married later, nothing is more important than her son's physical health, and it is not a good thing for the child to be exposed to that aspect when he is too young.
How could Rong Yi not know the thoughts of his daughter-in-law, but he also valued his only son very much. I was looking forward to it, so I nodded without hesitation. "Okay, anyway, with my father-in-law, I don't have to worry about not being able to learn."
Yang Lan smiled, her eyes became narrow, "Yes, my father's military stick is very powerful, the six relatives don't recognize it, when I was a child, my second brother was beaten a lot, and he couldn't get out of bed every time, and he went to be naughty again the second time." She felt very happy when she thought of what happened when she was a child, and the second brother was definitely the kind of child who was difficult to train and very naughty.
"Our son is much more stable, and his temper is very similar to that of his eldest brother, didn't he say it in the previous letter, and the eldest brother is now training the three leather boys." Rong Yi thought that his son was also very heartwarming, and the expression on his face became much softer.
In the past few years, they have not deliberately contracepted, but I don't know why Yang Lan has never been pregnant, and has invited a lot of doctors to come and see, Yang Lan and Rong Yi are very healthy, there is nothing wrong, but they have never been pregnant again, and then Rong Yi has rested his mind, in the end, he already has an eldest son, and his son is motivated and sensible and does not have too many regrets.
However, Yang Lan hopes to have another one, regardless of her son or daughter, thinking of being a companion for Brother Yu, otherwise she will be too lonely, and when they are old and gone in the future, they will be closer to brothers and sisters.
But God didn't give it, and she had no choice, so she could only slowly put down her mind and let it be, after all, she was still young, she was only in her twenties and was not in a hurry.
Qingya came in and said, "Master, the doctor has come to diagnose Ping'an's pulse." ”
"Well, let me in." Rong Yi put down the book and remembered that today was the day to diagnose the pulse.
Since he came back from the head and was poisoned, Rong Yi attaches great importance to diagnosing the pulse of peace, and every ten days or so, he will ask the doctor to come for a diagnosis, and if anything happens, he can find out early, although Yang Lan was poisoned several times, although he didn't eat it in his mouth, it also frightened him.
The doctor who came from the house is very old, very famous in this generation, belongs to the family of medical inheritance, and the generations are all doctors, and the craftsmanship is very powerful.
After the old doctor finished the diagnosis of Rong Yi, he said that there was nothing to do, and he checked Yang Lan's pulse, and it took a long time before he stopped and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mrs. for being happy, it's been a month and a half." ”
The two looked at each other in surprise, and they both saw surprise and disbelief in each other's eyes, it was six years later that Yang Lan was pregnant again, which could not but be said to be a big surprise.
"Great, Dr. Xie Lu, Qingya is rewarded." Rong Yi excitedly circled back and forth in the room.
Yang Lan gently held her lower abdomen, with a gentle smile on her face, "I'm going to send a letter to my son, he wants more than one younger brother or sister, do you think he will be unhappy?" ”
Rong Yi smiled in surprise, "Don't think nonsense, Brother Yu is not such a stingy child, I wrote to him." At this time, his heart was full of joy, and he couldn't think about it so much.
Yang Lan felt that she should give her son a good talk about it seriously, and then send her own clothes over, lest the child think that he had a baby and would not love him. (To be continued......)
PS: I have a baby again, I think the gap between brothers should be widened, otherwise there will be jealousy and other emotions, and older people will take more care of them
