Chapter 906: Shen Papi (Third Update)
Tang Yin suddenly got his wish, and for a while he couldn't believe that what was happening in front of him was true, but he saw his wife walking out in a newlywed dress with a burden in her hand, slim, just like the scene he had seen in his dream. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And that's it?
It's so easy, isn't it?
If I knew this, what Qiongzhou would I promise to go to? Come directly to pick up the lady and go home, it's cheap for nothing...... There is no reason to owe him a big favor, and he needs to go to Qiongzhou Mansion on a business trip to pay off the debt, which is really a big loss this time.
Miss Xia walked up to Tang Yin with her head down with shame in her face, and called out coquettishly: "Xianggong." ”
This sound was what Tang Yin had been looking forward to for a long time, and when he heard it, his heart was crisp, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet, Shen Xi reminded: "Brother Tang, are you not satisfied with taking Mrs. Ling back now?" ”
Tang Yin thought to himself, of course I am satisfied, but this is based on the fact that I owe you a favor, I just came back from Luzon, and I haven't even told you what I have seen and heard on that island, is it too embarrassing to go to Qiongzhou like this? He thought for a while, and said to Xia Kuan in a tentative tone: "Brother Tingsu, the old lady's illness has not yet recovered, and it seems that she should stay in the house to take care of it more." ”
One sentence exposes Tang Yin's nature, he likes to be smart, and he thinks that this lady will return home with him, and he can do it himself, and he doesn't want to fulfill his previous promise to go to Qiongzhou Mansion.
Who knew that Xia Kuan's eyes lit up, and his face was a little grateful: "It's rare that Brother Tang Xian is so considerate of his little sister and mother, so he will leave her ...... for his brother."
Tang Yin couldn't help but be stunned on the spot when he heard it!
This script is wrong, I'm just polite, when I go back and talk to "Shen Papi" about the conditions, I don't really want to keep my wife in my mother's house, why are you so unkind? FeelingsAre you ready to raise your sister to be an old aunt?
Shen Xi glared at Tang Yin angrily, and then said to Xia Kuan with a smile: "Mr. Qingshan, Brother Tang is about to travel to Qiongzhou Mansion, this trip is long and long, if he can be made to go with his wife, this official will also feel more relieved." Brother Tang, what do you think? ”
Adults don't care about villains, Shen Xi put his hand on Tang Yin's shoulder, and a hint of ridicule appeared in his eyes...... If you have the ability, you will be tough to the end, saying that you will not go to Qiongzhou, and see if Xia Kuan gives you his daughter-in-law!
Tang Yin was hesitant at this moment, what method did Shen Xi use to make Xia Kuan change his mind? But he couldn't figure it out, he only knew that Xia Kuan's return of his daughter-in-law was for Shen Xi's sake, so it was useless to say more now, either he agreed to take his daughter-in-law home and left for Qiongzhou Mansion in a few days, or he left his daughter-in-law in his mother's house and continued to be a loner in Guangzhou Mansion.
Choose one of the two, there are gains and losses, there is no hope for a big Dengke in this life, and a small Dengke is in front of him, so Tang Yin can't refuse.
At this time, Xia Kuan spared no effort to persuade: "Brother Tang Xian, it is very hard for you to travel far to Qiongzhou, so let your sister accompany you and solve problems for you." ”
Tang Yin could only salute helplessly: "I must live up to Shen Zhongcheng's entrustment." ”
Shen Xi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "This official has always believed in Brother Tang's ability to do things, and I will hand over the matter of the new Yantian to you, so this official can rest assured." ”
When the matter was said, Tang Yin was extremely depressed, and was cheated by Shen Xi again, and lost his temper for a while.
Shen Xi brought some chicken, duck and fish meat this time, Xia Kuan asked his wife and sister to prepare, and Miss Xia took the burden out and put it on the carriage and came back to help clean it up.
It's not lunch or dinner, it's not yet time, it's not a meal, but Xia Kuan has good wine that has been stored for many years, even Shen Xi can't help but drink a few more glasses, and Tang Yin is even more drunk.
At sunset, Miss Xia helped her father-in-law out of the courtyard, and since then she has become a Tang family wife.
Xia Kuan had a lot of gratitude to Shen Xi, and thanked him when he parted: "Thank you Lord Shen for awakening the ambition of Brother Bohu in the future, and my sister-in-law and sister-in-law will ask Lord Shen to take care of him more." ”
Shen Xi smiled, your brother-in-law is an unenlightened scholar, I promised to fight for him in the future, so that he can become an official in the court or retake the examination, but it also depends on whether he fights or not. As for your sister, she is a Tang family wife, where will it be my turn to take care of her?
However, in terms of face, Shen Xi still wanted to give Xia Kuan, so he immediately nodded and agreed, and then came out with Zhu Qi and others, although he drank two more cups, he did not take a car like Tang Yin, but rode a horse, and the group returned to Guangzhou Mansion.
Shen Xi did not return home that day, but went to Hui Niang's place and spent the night at Hui Niang's side.
Hui Niang is pregnant, and he, as a husband, can't always push and not accompany him. When I arrived at the outer house, in addition to enjoying Hui Niang's warmth, I also had Li Jin's empathy. Taking advantage of the drunkenness, he hugged left and right, and stayed in the boudoir that he couldn't think about, until the next morning, when small snowflakes drifted in the sky, Shen Xi returned to the official post.
At this time, Tang Yin had already completed the great cause of flower candles in the cave room, and with a bit of spring breeze and a proud horse's hoof on his face, he came to Shen Xi to "thank you".
Shen Xi said: "Brother Bohu doesn't need to thank you, the official has already arranged the trip to Qiongzhou for you, starting on the sixteenth day of the first month, it will take three or five months to go, and you can return before midsummer." ”
The smile on Tang Yin's face immediately faded, and he saluted: "Shen Zhongcheng, in the newlywed Yan'er, can't you be graced for a few more days?" ”
Shen Xi flatly refused: "Brother Bohu should understand that in officialdom, the most important thing is to do business, since Brother Bohu has promised to come down before, he should do things according to the rules." ”
"This to Qiongzhou Mansion, a total of three salt farms will be opened, turn boiling salt into salt pan salt, the specific construction measures, this official has been listed in detail for you, as for the cost of money, this official will also allocate it to you, by the end of May, the salt field must be completed and put into production, to August when the summer salt is released, the three salt farms in charge of Brother Bohu will carry the salt of half of the people in the three southeastern provinces."
As soon as Tang Yin heard this, he retreated, even if the salt field you said was a cow, it was impossible for three salt farms to be responsible for half of the salt in the three provinces, and you really didn't need time to dry salt?
Tang Yin was about to lodge a protest, but Shen Xi handed over the detailed drawings to Tang Yin and gave some explanations, mainly involving the transfer of people, the construction of salt pans, the specific process of drying salt, etc., with the focus on the structure of salt storage lakes, water lifting stations, junior and senior evaporation ponds, and crystallization areas.
Tang Yin listened patiently and waved his hand: "Shen Zhongcheng wants to find someone to implement the method of drying salt, has he asked the imperial court?" ”
Shen Xi smiled: "Listen to what Brother Bohu means, is this to push?" ”
"In the next word and there is faith, since I agreed, I will definitely go, but I am only a Confucian in the next place, and I don't know anything about building salt pans and drying salt, why doesn't Shen Zhongcheng go to those real experts?" Tang Yin said that it was a reasonable one.
I don't understand, but you have to look for me, you are the governor of the three provinces, and you do some things that are difficult for strong people on weekdays?
Shen Xi frowned and asked: "Dare to ask Brother Bohu, this method of drying salt in the salt field was first implemented in the Ming Dynasty, where did the official go to find an expert?" ”
Tang Yin felt uncomfortable when he heard it, it was actually the first time to implement it, don't you say that this drawing was designed by you, even if it was designed by you, you look for someone from the salt department to lift the department, or transfer people from the coastal salt works of Guangdong Province, I am not even an official, how can I dispatch local officials and people in Qiongzhou Mansion on weekdays?
"The official knows that Brother Bohu has concerns in his heart, if Brother Bohu has any incomprehension, just refer to the drawings of the official, there will be people in the yamen in Qiongzhou who are responsible for measuring the land, and the local stove households in Qiongzhou will be called to dry salt and make salt, and they can also spend money to hire workers, if Brother Bohu returns from completing the errand, the official guarantees that he will not arrange such a difficult errand for Brother Bohu in the future."
After Shen Xi finished speaking, he waved his hand, "Come on, bring up the wedding gift for Tang Jieyuan!" ”
Ma Jiu took a few chariot and horse gang brothers, carried two large boxes into the church, opened them and saw that there were not only cloth and rice grains, but also copper coins and silver coins, which were equivalent to fifty or sixty yuan.
Tang Yin's eyes widened when he saw it, according to the contract he signed for the second time for a three-year staff member and ten taels a month, these things could pay him half a year's salary.
Shen Xi sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that there are too few people around the official who can be entrusted with important tasks, he will definitely not let Brother Bohu go this way, and when Brother Bohu returns, he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, what does Brother Bohu think?" ”
Tang Yin looked at Shen Xi in surprise, the dignified superintendent actually used money to buy him? This time, he can easily get one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and Shen Xi doesn't have so much money for half a year, where does he get the silver to pay his salary?
However, the amount of this silver money made Tang Yin unable to refuse.
In the past, Tang Yin was alone, he fed the whole family without worrying, now he has married his wife, and will have children in the future, as the head of the family, he must have a sense of responsibility, and he can't pick a child casually, Shen Xi specially allowed him to take his newlywed wife on the road, and when he went to Qiongzhou Mansion, he was just responsible for dispatching, directing others to work, and he had completed his errand and returned before the summer heat came, although this trip was hard, but it was also worth it.
Tang Yin arched his hand: "Just act according to the rules." ”
"Okay."
Shen Xi smiled and nodded, "Brother Bohu, this official has asked someone to prepare a few jars of good wine for you, you can rest first and enjoy the pleasure of the boudoir these days." As soon as the Shangyuan Festival is over, the official will personally send you south, and the well-being of the people in the three southeastern provinces will all depend on you alone. ”
Tang Yin suddenly felt a sense of tragedy, like practicing wine before going to the execution ground. He wondered in his heart, could it be that there was some catastrophe in Qiongzhou Mansion, and Shen Papi had to force me to die?
After a few jars of good wine were brought in, Shen Xi approached Tang Yin: "Brother Bohu, don't be surprised, in fact, if you want to come, after the beginning of spring, this official will lead his troops north to level pirates and pirates, which is very dangerous, if Brother Bohu does not go to Qiongzhou Mansion, it is inevitable that he will accompany this official to suffer at sea." Such a good errand to Qiongzhou Mansion made the official quite envious. ”
Tang Yin thought about it, and he was right.
If you don't go to Qiongzhou Mansion, you have to go to war with Shen Xi.
Officers and soldiers fought in order to make meritorious contributions, Shen Xi led troops in order to gain the emperor's appreciation, and Tang Yin went to war as a staff member for what? He has been on the blacklist of the imperial court, and he can't be rewarded for his merits, but if there is a bad pool, he may have to lose his life, so it is more comfortable to go to Qiongzhou Mansion for business, not only accompanied by a wife and wine, but also enjoy the feeling of shouting five and drinking six, he is Shen Dufu's master, and the Qiongzhou prefect also has to give him three points of thin noodles.
It's just that he thought that this errand was entrusted by Shen Papi, and the other party still said that he was envious, and he didn't feel good in his heart.
Tang Yin said: "If Shen Zhongcheng is really envious, it is not impossible to exchange it!" ”
