Chapter 165: Ding Niang returns to the door

Liu Niang took her four younger sisters and talked about what gifts Cheng Yue would bring to them while cleaning up. Thinking that Cheng Yue has always been known for his generosity, my sister is so favored by him, presumably the gift will be very rich, right?

The youngest Shou Niang said, "Do you think my brother-in-law will bring us food?" After all, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is famous for its food, so I didn't bring it before, so I should bring it when I go back to the door for the first time, right? ”

The fifth sister Feng Niangjiao said with a smile: "If you don't bring it, leave the eldest sister and don't let him take it away, will you send us a little MSG?" Besides, I didn't give much, and I was almost finished. ”

Liu Niang snorted angrily: "Do you know how much MSG is on the market?" ”

The third girl Huanniang said curiously: "Isn't it not sold?" How can there be one on the market? ”

Liu Niang snorted and said, "I heard that it was my brother-in-law's concubine Yun Luo, but too many people begged for it before she sold it." One or two monosodium glutamate costs three taels of silver! ”

"Yikes! It's more expensive than silver! The four female inmates were startled and couldn't help blurting out.

"yes. Where can ordinary people afford to eat so expensive? There is also glass made by my brother-in-law, and I heard that a pair of cups cost ten taels of silver, which is still half price! is really a black-hearted profiteer, and his sister will definitely be taken bad if she marries him. ”

Huanniang shook her head and said: "But now the kind of glass beads with impurities on the market also cost one or two silver, in comparison, the glass is so beautiful, it is really not expensive." ”

Feng Niang rolled her eyes and said, "I heard that my brother-in-law's glass is made in a farm in the suburbs, and there are heavy guards around it, and only my brother-in-law's family can enter." Why don't we just ask my brother-in-law to take us in and have fun. It must be interesting to see how glass is made. ”

Feng Niang's proposal immediately caused a burst of excitement, but Liu Niang immediately said angrily: "I don't think it's possible." Our brother-in-law. There were more than a thousand clan daughters hidden. I don't know how many of them are the targets he wants to target, it's ridiculous. ”

Huanniang immediately said: "Sister, don't get me wrong, last time I heard the eldest sister mention that those women and brothers-in-law have other arrangements, and they are not the beauties that the brother-in-law collects." But I heard that there are indeed two concubines whose brother-in-law has not passed through the door, and there are only two. ”

The prison lady also said that she had listened to the eldest sister on the side, but Liu Niang pursed her lips, so she didn't speak again.

A few little girls cleaned up the house. Talk and laugh and go to Daddy to report back. Before he could reach the inner hall, he heard Wen Tianxiang's voice coming: "What? It's already here, so soon? Quickly open the middle door to greet and set off firecrackers. Go and call the ladies and sons, and go quickly. ”

Several male and female family members said yes and trotted to do their own things.

The fifth daughter entered the inner hall, and Liu Niang asked, "Daddy, but my brother-in-law and sister are here?" ”

Wen Tianxiang nodded happily and said, "Yes, your eldest sister returned to the door today and hasn't seen her for a few days." Got it in mind? Your brother-in-law, I don't know what to conjure. Even I'm looking forward to it. ”

As he was talking, the three ladies and the three sons had already arrived in a hurry, and Ouyang said with a smile as he walked: "Count my son-in-law with a conscience, and he didn't let me wait for a long time." ”

Huang and Yan both laughed, but they were also a little sad. I don't know where my daughter will get married, how long will I wait when I return home?

Wen Tianxiang took them to the gate together, as soon as the smoke of firecrackers cleared, Cheng Yue had already entered the door, and was directing the servants to move the gifts out of the car and transport them in batches. When he saw Wen Tianxiang, he immediately came over and said with a smile: "My son-in-law has seen Old Taishan. Ding Niang also came over happily to greet her.

Wen Tianxiang and Cheng Yue were gossiping here, and Ouyang had already held Ding Niang in his arms. In the past few days, I haven't seen Dingniang at home, and Ouyang has always been sad and sad. Seeing it now, Ouyang couldn't help but say for a while: "My Dingniang, have you forgotten your mother?" Why are you only coming to see your mother now? He burst into tears. Dingniang went back to visit relatives, she was very happy, but when she was told by her mother, she was sad from the heart, and she also hugged Ouyang and cried, and the other female relatives were accompanied by tears.

Cheng Yue and Wen Tianxiang were a little embarrassed, but fortunately, neither of them cared much about this woman's affairs, so they left a group of crying women and went to the living room to talk.

In the past few days, Wen Tianxiang of course has to explain to Cheng Yue. After the people of Liu Mengyan and Chen Yizhong's faction were attacked more fiercely, they kept a lot of noise in the court. The excerpt of the three pleas has been completed, and Xie Daoqing has also refuted it three times. The ministers of the central government, the dragons have no leader, and now many people have come over, although Wen Tianxiang's official position is not the highest, but there is a faint shadow of the Wen school.

Since Liu Yue took refuge in Cheng Yue, he has worked very hard in the court, as long as Cheng Yue does something, whenever someone impeaches, Liu Qi will fight on the basis of reason, and even publicly break with the henchmen of the two prime ministers Liuchen. often doesn't wait for Wen Tianxiang and others to exert their strength, and things have been messed up by him. The ministers of the court, no one wanted to fight with him, so they all settled it quietly. Wen Tianxiang couldn't help laughing when he said this. He never thought that one day he would stand with Liu Qi, the villain, and he hid behind him and asked him to charge into battle and mess around. With villains against villains, it's really a wonderful move.

Cheng Yue's letter of rebuke to Japan issued by Cheng Yue has already been submitted. Xie Daoqing couldn't bear it, so he asked Lu Xiufu to write another tactful article and send it up, presumably he could be stamped with the jade seal immediately. As for who to send, Cheng Yue also attached great importance to it, and instructed Wen Tianxiang to send someone who understands military affairs, and try to find out as much as possible about Japan's current people, products, geography, and army. It is best for Lu Hidefu to go in person, and he can also send someone to hide in the ranks of the envoys to find out the truth of Japan.

Zhao Liangchun and Xu Daolong, the two brothers, were taken away by the two princes, but they didn't have any trouble. The two of them didn't want to bow their heads to Cheng Yue, so they went to Wen Tianxiang to hang up, but the main thing they did was what Cheng Yue asked them to do - build roads.

Cheng Yue was also very relieved to hear that they agreed to do it, and he was unwilling to let him support such two families. It's just that in the future, the money allocated to repair the road will have to go around Wen Tianxiang to give it to them, which is a little troublesome.

Wen Tianxiang said: "There is another thing, the merchants and envoys of various countries in Lin'an got the news from somewhere, saying that the Metropolitan Governor is going to conquer them, and they are asking people they know about your army and other things, there must be more people going to Suzhou, you have to be careful and safe." If nothing else, in a few days, the envoys of various countries will come to Lin'an and ask why you are attacking them, what do you say? ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "What do you say?" Anyway, I just want their place, and if I don't give it to me, I'll take it myself. Surrender honestly, do not lose the state and county officials, and destroy it if you don't surrender. The people of the land must keep to themselves, or they will be killed, and they will just give up the land and I will move the people over. ”

Wen Tianxiang said worriedly: "These feudal states have always been loyal to the imperial court, and they were all recruited by the imperial court with great difficulty. It's better to take your time in a gentle way than to be infamous on your back. ”

Cheng Yue said: "Father-in-law, you are looking at the past hundred years, but I am looking at the next thousand years." If I want to conquer them, I am not afraid that they will know, so what if I let them know? Do the people who stayed in Mengyan think they can cause me trouble like this? Hmph, rat's eyes are bright. They don't pay tribute anymore, and I have all the more reason to fight them. They are armed, and there is no excuse for being defeated by me again, so that they will not be honest in the future. Father-in-law, you just tell them something about the whole world, whether it is the king's land, the shore of the land, and the king's ministers. If they don't accept it, let them come to me, and if they don't accept it, I will beat them until they are convinced. ”

Wen Tianxiang knew that he couldn't persuade his son-in-law at all, and sighed, when the time came, he could only let these envoys go to Cheng Yue, after all, it was not the imperial court that wanted to ask for them, but Cheng Yue.

Cheng Yue took out a box of matches from his arms, handed it to Wen Tianxiang, and said, "This is the match I mentioned to my father-in-law before, I haven't started selling it yet, so I'll give it to my father-in-law first." There are still thirty boxes in the gift, enough to be used when the large number of them are on the market. After speaking, he demonstrated it to Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang was amazed, holding the match and reluctant to put it down, looking at this son-in-law, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

At this time, the ladies and children had already entered the house, and when they saw the match in Wen Tianxiang's hand, they knew that it must be a good thing that Cheng Yue had made, and they shouted to see it.

Wen Tianxiang was in high spirits and said, "Okay, bring the candles." ”

Shou Niang immediately brought the candlestick and sent it to Wen Tianxiang. Wen Tianxiang followed Cheng Yue's example, and carefully "wiped" the ground and lit a match.

The people in Wenfu were all screaming and jumping in fright, just like when Ding Niang first saw it.

Wen Tianxiang lit the candle and blew out the matches, cheering happily all the time.

Everyone took out a match and looked at it carefully, and then took the matchbox one by one to look at it, puzzled. These two black things rubbed against each other, why did they even burst into flames? What's going on? It's amazing!

Huanniang blushed and said, "Brother-in-law, what is the truth of this?" Why does a fire come out when you wipe it like this? She wanted to ask if it was a spell, but when she thought that Cheng Yue's book had emphasized many times, there had never been any immortal spells, and she thought that Cheng Yue must have hidden the two books that had this aspect of it.

Cheng Yue took out the two books "Chemistry" and "Physics" from his arms and said, "You can read these two books, you don't need me to explain." But I would like to emphasize that these two books must not be allowed to be acquired by anyone else, not even to look at them. If you don't, there can even be a capital offense, and no one is exempt. Do you want to think clearly? ”

Hearing Cheng Yue's words, even Wen Tianxiang's face turned pale. Once the book is stolen or lost, won't it be killed by Cheng Yue? He can not do it when others say this, but although Cheng Yue is his son-in-law, he has always enforced the law like a mountain, and he also understands the importance of this book, if he really wants to kill his children, he really can't stop it.
