Chapter 47: Out to Sea
Dye Chun's eyes were full of flattery, and Yu Mingzhu was a little funny in her heart.
She whispered, "Your mother is an old servant of the Dongfu Dafang? ”
Ran Chun was stunned for a moment, and she hurriedly spoke: "Mother is the nurse of the eldest son, because of the Wen family back then...... It was sent to Xifu. ”
Yu Mingzhu coughed lightly and said, "In this way, Brother Baoren is also your old master?" ”
Ran Chun's face was a little unsightly, and she said in a low voice: "The slave maid has indeed spoken to the eldest prince a few times, and the eldest prince misses my mother a little. ”
"I see."
In her previous life, Dye Chun did a lot of things for Yu Baoren, if it weren't for the fact that Dye Chun finally lost her life to save herself, Yu Mingzhu would definitely not have stayed by her side......
"You go down first, I'm a little sleepy."
Dye Chun saluted and retreated, when she went out, she glanced at Yu Mingzhu meaningfully, if Yu Mingzhu saw her eyes, she would definitely think of a lot of different things.
After Yu Mingzhu woke up from a nap, she saw the remnant sun outside like blood, and her heart suddenly felt a little empty, she called Dye Dong, Dye Dong hurried in, and saw Yu Mingzhu's expression was a little dazed, she was worried: "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
"Where's the husband?"
Dye Dong said, "Uncle is still in the study. ”
Yu Mingzhu rubbed her eyes, she sat up from the bed, walked to the mirror, and looked at the somewhat haggard face in the mirror.
"Is it time for dinner?"
"It's time for the slave to go and invite my uncle."
Dye Dong left happily.
At this time, in the study of Wenlan Academy, Gu Huaiming was standing by the window, and Ah Fei was sitting by the window, looking at Gu Huaiming with a smile.
"Here, the goldsmith said that this key was the style that was popular ten years ago, and it must be a very old house."
Gu Huaiming took the key and said softly, "Thank you." ”
Ah Fei could see that Gu Huaiming was not in a good mood at this time, and he said, "What, you quarreled with Yu Mingzhu?" ”
Gu Huaiming glanced at Ah Fei and said lightly, "No." ”
"I heard that Su Wenjing lifted it."
Gu Huaiming's expression was slightly strange.
"At the age of twenty, he was raised in the middle school, and he was the first in the provincial examination, which is really an unlimited future."
Ah Fei's every sentence seems to mean something.
"I was lifted at the age of fifteen, and you didn't say anything like that at the time."
Ah Fei laughed, he patted Gu Huaiming's shoulder and sneered: "You still say that you don't have that Yu Pearl in your heart?" ”
Gu Huaiming was about to speak, but Ah Fei jumped out of the window and left.
Dye Dong walked in very happily, and said to Gu Huaiming with a smile: "Uncle, Miss asked you to go to dinner." ”
Gu Huaiming coughed lightly, and then said, "I'm a little unwell today, so I won't eat dinner." ”
After hearing this, Dye Dong was stunned for a moment and said, "Uncle is not feeling well, the slave maid is going to ask for a doctor?" ”
"No, just let me be quiet."
After Ran Dong heard this, her little face wrinkled, and she begged: "Uncle, the slave maid went to the house and saw that the young lady's face was not very good, and the young lady must have been very sad in her heart, as the saying goes, the husband and wife have no overnight worries, and the slave and maid look at the relationship between the aunt and the young lady is a good place, but don't hurt the relationship between the husband and wife because of the momentary mood." ”
Gu Huaiming asked in a low voice, "Why is she bad?" ”
"After the young lady woke up from a nap, she looked in a trance, and she looked very sad."
Gu Huaiming sighed and then said, "Let's go." ”
When Gu Huaiming and Dye Dong arrived at Wenlan Courtyard, they happened to see the stone worm entering the courtyard.
The stone worm is a foreign man, and it is not polite to enter the inner house.
Yu Mingzhu saw Gu Huaiming coming, so he said softly: "It just so happens that my husband is also here, Shi Steward, this is my husband." ”
After seeing Gu Huaiming, Shi Worm bowed his hand very casually.
This is obviously not in line with etiquette, but this stone worm seems to be a little unconcerned about Gu Huaiming.
"The little one came this time to discuss with the eldest lady about going to sea."
Yu Mingzhu had a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Steward Shi, please speak."
Shi Ming and Yu Mingzhu talked about this trip to sea for half an hour, Yu Mingzhu hoped that Shi Ming could change a route, the Yu family caravan was used to going to the East and the West, but it was rarely involved in the South Sea, the East and the West were not the main grain-producing areas, Yu Mingzhu wanted enough grain.
"Miss, transporting food over long distances is a very money-consuming thing."
Sea transportation is not the same as river transportation, the sea ship is very large, and it is particularly humid at sea, and the grain is generally at the bottom of the cabin, which is easy to spoil and deteriorate, so it generally requires extremely large hay and oil paper, and because of the increase in personnel and equipment for transporting grain, they basically can't bring much goods, and the price of overseas grain is not cheap, this trip is bound to be a loss.
"I know, so I'm going to use the money from the Yu family's account, and this box contains my dowry."
Yu Mingzhu said it very easily, but Shi Yu and Gu Huaiming frowned when they heard it.
Gu Huaiming didn't expect Yu Mingzhu to really take out his dowry.
Yu Mingzhu's dowry has gone through her grandmother and her mother several times, which is already an astronomical amount, but it is still a drop in the bucket to bear the rations of millions of people.
Shi Worm frowned, and he asked, "Is it possible that the eldest lady wants to store grain?" ”
Yu Mingzhu smiled.
"Yes."
"The subordinates know, and the subordinates will do it."
"There is another thing, if the stone steward encounters anything new in the overseas countries, he can also bring it back to me."
Shi Worm nodded thoughtfully, and he saluted and left.
Yu Mingzhu glanced at Gu Huaiming, and she said to Dye Dong: "You go down first, you don't need to serve here." ”
Dye Donghuan left happily, and Yu Mingzhu looked at Gu Huaiming with a hint of clarity in his eyes.
"When can I see Governor Han?"
Gu Huaiming said lightly: "It will take a few days, don't worry, Madame, I will definitely do what I promised you." ”
After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other, and they were speechless for a while.
Gu Huaiming was a little angry and didn't want to see her, but when he heard that she was sad, he couldn't help but come.
Yu Mingzhu looked at Gu Huaiming and said in a low voice: "Twenty boats of grain will probably arrive in Quanzhou in November, and I am afraid that it will not be so easy to enter Caoyun at that time, and I am afraid that Governor Han will need to send troops to escort them by land." ”
When Gu Huaiming heard these words, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "Madam is willing to pay such a price, I'm really curious, what do you want the teacher to do for you?" ”
Yu Mingzhu took a sip of wine, she was not in a good mood today.
Gu Huaiming was not in a good mood, and Yu Mingzhu didn't want to lie to him, so he said directly: "I haven't thought about it yet, don't worry, husband, what I'm asking for is not something that hurts heaven and reason." ”
Gu Huaiming felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and he suddenly said, "I originally thought that I could take my wife to the city tower to visit the temple fair tonight." ”
