256 couples return to the door
Lai Yanbei looked at Su You's high spirits, and he was also immersed in his description of the Age of Discovery for a while.
Lai Yanbei thought for a while, and then said worriedly, "What you said can indeed provide convenience for those foreign businessmen, but people are selfish, although they have obtained more benefits, how can they share them with others?" ”
Su You smiled indifferently, "Are you worried about these people monopolizing?" Then let our Dasui people go out, don't we Dasui have endless porcelain and endless tea? In a few years, cement or something will be saturated, we allow the merchants of Dasui to sell these things, but to set up cards at the port to collect taxes, this department to prevent the export of contraband can be called customs, and the taxes collected are called customs duties. ”
"The imperial court will also set up cards to inspect contraband at border places, but there seems to be no talk of collecting customs duties." Lai Yanbei thought about it and said seriously.
Su You shook his head and smiled like a fox, "If you don't charge tariffs, how can you recover the cost of repairing the wharf?" As long as they know that the tariff is less than one percent of the profits, they will cry and shout to pay the tariff. ”
"It seems that my worries are unnecessary, but this first batch of people who go out is only afraid" Lai Yanbei said that when she said that she was going to sea, she was still extremely worried, and she believed that people who thought like her would be the majority of businessmen.
The merchants did not know what a distant country needed, nor what they could give, so why did they think that they would make money by going to sea?
"You have a point." Su You thought about it seriously and said, "If I have time in the past two days, I'll go and visit the people from the Qi County Trading Company and some other big businessmen I know." The Qi County Trading Company is definitely going to visit, and I don't plan to burn the cement used in the wharf myself. ”
"You want them to test the waters?"
"At least we have to pull some investment, it's really not okay, why don't you and I be the first to eat crabs?"
"You and me? What do you mean? Lai Yanbei's eyes lit up, as if he had caught something, but he didn't dare to believe it for a while.
"What's not to do? I plan to take back our family's investment in the next few days and put it all in your hands, you can go and get a dock, buy a fleet or something" Su You said his plan in detail lightly, and the investment in his mouth was of course the money that was now in the hands of the Bi Yuntao brothers.
If Su You withdraws his shares at this time, the Bi Yuntao brothers will definitely be happy, they no longer have the difficulty of breaking the chain of liquidity at the moment, and they have obtained a technology to make milk ice out of thin air.
Lai Yanbei nodded, this era originally paid attention to the male protagonist and the female protagonist, and it was natural for Su You to hand over the family property to her to take care of; Although she is not sensitive to numbers at all, don't she still have Uncle Sun, Pisces, and Qingjing and others under her command?
As Su You said, he promised to show up on the sea trade route to do business, so he also thought that he would not have to suffer from lovesickness in the eastern capital in the coming year, and when he arrived at the port, maybe he could see Su You from time to time.
After Su You finished talking about these ideas for the future, his mood also relaxed, and he said to Lai Yanbei, "By the way, I still have two good news, do you want to hear the better or the best?" ”
"Good news?" Lai Yanbei patted her chest, she listened to Su You's words, in fact, she had already been freed from the cloud of bad news in Su You's mouth, and when she heard the good news, she was inexplicably sad.
Yokoba will leave in three days
"Absolute good news, your husband has been promoted, and you also have to be called the Four Grades of Command" Su You immediately said a few words of dialogue when Yang Guang sent him to the southeast in advance.
Lai Yanbei kept nodding, and tears flowed down his cheeks at some point.
Sipin commanded, and none of his sisters-in-law were titled, not even his mother, who died early; But now that he has just married Su You, he has a noble husband, and he accidentally has this title, what a surprise?
"Fool, I haven't even had any better news to say, and you're happy to be like this." Su You stretched out his hand to help Yanbei wipe his tears, and finally remembered that it was more convenient to use a handkerchief.
"Is there any better news than this?" Coming to Yanbei is not an official fan, but at this moment, he has inexplicably become a four-grade edict above tens of millions of people, and has become a figure worthy of the name of the top of the pyramid.
There is really no one in ten thousand who can still hold on to this.
"I don't know, so I won't talk about it?" Su You asked with a smile.
"It's the most annoying thing to talk about halfway." Lai Yanbei gave Su You a disdainful look, and then made a deferential gesture.
"The best news of this is that His Majesty is deeply sorry for breaking up our pair of hard-working mandarin ducks; In order to show his sincerity, he finally made a decision that could express his sincerity, - you and I will go to the south together. ”
"Really?" Lai Yanbei grabbed Su You's hand in disbelief and stared at Su You's eyes tightly.
Su You nodded vigorously, trying to endure the excitement of coming to Yanbei for a while, and finally begged, "It hurts." ”
After a few layers of clothes, Su You could feel the pain of his hands being pinched by his nails, and the excitement of coming to Yanbei was so exaggerated.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Lai Yanbei also realized her excitement, let go of her hand a little embarrassed, and then pulled Su You's hand up, and then pushed his sleeve up, she wanted to see the evidence of her crime.
"How can it be so strict?" Su You thought so in his heart, but said with a smile on his face, "I remembered a little story, but I was afraid that you would reprimand me when I said it." ”
"You know, it's the most annoying thing to talk about half of it." After Lai Yanbei said this, he added, "You also know that even I will be afraid of myself when I train people. So, you look at it. ”
Su You listened to the rhetoric of coming to Yanbei, and couldn't help but sigh; Although she is a woman who practices martial arts, her temper is gentle, how can he ever feel that even she herself is afraid of training people?
Su You held the person who came to Yanbei and finally whispered, "It's about the two brothers going to Beijing to take the exam, the brother is the champion, and the younger brother is the first." The younger brother returned to his hometown first, and the younger brother-in-law was unhappy. In the evening, the younger brother said to his wife: 'Don't think that there is anything wrong with being admitted to the top prize!' After the entrance examination, there is no such thing! The brother and daughter-in-law believed it and laughed, but she was glad that her husband was down. ”
When he came to Yanbei to listen to Su You's vulgar words, he hurriedly pinched his mouth with his hand, but thought in his heart, "Where is such a stupid village woman?" ”
Su You avoided her, but continued, "The next day, my brother-in-law secretly told my sister-in-law that my brother had won the champion, but the words were gone, and my sister-in-law was shocked when she heard the news, and she was unhappy. After a few days, my brother returned in fine clothes, and everyone greeted each other with a smile, but my sister-in-law was full of sadness. At night, my brother asked strangely, and my sister-in-law told me the truth. ”
Lai Yanbei covered her ears early, but it was just makeup, in fact, Su You's story had already been listened to by her word for word; At this time, she wanted Su You to continue, but where was the best way to speak? This is just like after being teased by Su You, although he hopes that Su You will move faster, where is he willing to say it on his face, where do he dare to ask for it?
Su You saw the red-eared red land in the north of Laiyan, so he attached himself to her ear and said, "That brother listened and said, "Nonsense!" That's good here, who said no! So he unbuttoned his pants, and the general trend was a trend, and the sister-in-law was relieved and burst into laughter. Brother Nai sighed: "I have become such a big official, but I can't catch up with one"
Su You's voice became smaller and smaller, and he kissed Lai Yanbei's earlobe, Lai Yanbei's body had already fallen softly in Su You's arms, and the two of them were in love with each other, but they seemed to forget that this was the day.
Su You was emotional, and it was half a push and half a decision to come to Yanbei, but fortunately, the study was originally a place for Su You to cultivate, and no one came to disturb him if there was nothing special.
It was just a vow that Su You made in the morning, and it turned into a floating cloud before noon.
The lewd little days passed like this, and the next day was the day when the two of them returned to the door.
Strictly speaking, the return to the door after the ceremony of Zhou Gong is the last step of the wedding. The return door is generally three days, five days or one month after the marriage, and the return door shows the bride's gratitude to her mother's family on the one hand, and the husband's respect for the woman on the other hand.
As originally planned, Su You and Lai Yanbei returned to the door on the third day after their wedding.
When Su You and the carriage from Laiyanbei slowly stopped in front of the door, they saw that Laihu'er had several sons and five sisters-in-law who were in the ranks, and Su You had never seen people who came to the mansion so neatly.
This time the grandeur is obviously not an accident.
According to custom, when the son-in-law returns to the door, he must set up a banquet to celebrate, and today he came to the house to hold a big feast, and his colleagues in the DPRK and China also sent people to give gifts to show their congratulations on the new son-in-law who came to the house.
Among these officials present, mainly officials from Shandong and the south, there are a few from Guanlong.
The news of Su You's marriage by Yang Guang has long been spreading, but more people are still dying to save face, how can they go along with Su You because of the emperor's preferences? It can be said that the people who can come to the house today are either relatives or friends.
Lai Hu'er was full of smiles, and when Su You and Lai Yanbei knelt down and saluted together, he accepted the salute as a matter of course, and then said, "Both of them are good children, as long as your husband and wife are harmonious and happy, it will be the greatest comfort to our family." ”
The two of them gave a thanksgiving ceremony to Lai's child, which means that Su You has officially become Lai's son-in-law.
Laihu'er looked at the two kneeling on the ground, waved his hand, but saw a maid carrying a gift box; After he took it, he transferred it to Su You's hands, and said, "This is my gift to you, I hope you can not only use Wu Anbang, but also use Wen to determine the country." ”
Su You solemnly took it, and he didn't have to guess to know that it was the four treasures of the study, "Thank you father-in-law for your gift, and the son-in-law will remember it in my heart." ”
"Okay, that's the end of the entrance ceremony, Yokobo will talk to me in the study, I have something to say to you." Laihu'er nodded in approval, and then helped the two of them up.
Su You breathed a sigh of relief, what he was most afraid of was cumbersome etiquette, he had a headache when he thought about the seven aunts and eight aunts who came to Yanbei, and at this time, listening to the words of the protector was like the emperor's amnesty.
Su You followed Laihu'er to the study, but Laiyanbei was surrounded by a group of sisters-in-law.
The topic of their whispering soon came to the special booklet, and Lai Yanbei was blushing in the face.
In the end, how many tricks and styles were practiced, and what was the taste, these questions would not be said if they were killed.
