Chapter 17 The Fate of the Yu Family
When Yu Mingzhu was eating, she noticed Yu Wansan's eyes, and she only felt that her grandfather might not be as simple as she thought.
In addition to Gu Huaiming's identity as a son-in-law, the Yu family must have something to ask for.
I only heard Yu Wansan say casually: "Huaiming, Mingzhu, this girl has been raised in a place like the Yu family since she was a child, there is no mother and grandmother, no sisters and sisters-in-law, and she actually doesn't understand the rules of ordinary big families." ”
Yu Mingzhu lowered his head to eat, and Qian Jiang's expression moved slightly.
"Now that I think about it, these are my faults, women and men in this world are different after all, if you have success in the future and have the spare energy to protect the Yu family, I am already grateful."
Yu Mingzhu's expression was calm, but his chest was uncomfortable.
After dinner, Yu Wansan left Yu Mingzhu behind and deliberately retired outsiders.
In the warm boudoir, only the grandparents and grandchildren remained.
Yu Wansan said softly: "Mingzhu, it's the Yu family who can't stand you." ”
Yu Mingzhu clenched her fists, and there were thousands of sorrows in her heart, but she couldn't say it.
She is the one who is most sorry for the Yu family.
Yu Wansan touched Yu Mingzhu's head and said in a low voice: "I know your temperament, paranoid and strong, Huaiming is that kind of temperament, you must know that husband and wife pay attention to forbearance, Huaiming bears that you are unreasonable, and you have to endure his indifference and coldness." ”
Yu Wansan has a lot of things to hide from Yu Mingzhu, and Yu Mingzhu knows it in her heart.
"Grandfather, does our Yu family have any tricks in Gu Huaiming's hands?"
When Yu Wansan heard this, he smiled bitterly.
"Silly girl, the handle of our Yu family is not in the hands of Gu Huaiming, our handle is in the hands of the imperial court."
Yu Mingzhu was about to ask, but Yu Wansan said a little tiredly: "If you can really bear the burden of the Yu family in the future, you can tell you these things, but you can't afford it now, so your grandfather can't tell you, and letting you know that these things will hurt you." ”
Yu Mingzhu looked at Yu Wansan with mixed feelings in her heart.
In her previous life, she always thought that her grandfather was for the previous marriage contract. But now she finally understood.
This is not the case at all.
The rest of their family is not involved in the huge rich business of salt affairs and transportation, and they do not even have any large-scale industries in Jiangnan, so there is only one reason why they can become the richest man in Jiangnan.
In Quanzhou alone, Yu Wansan has more than 300 giant cargo ships, which can sail overseas, not to mention giant cargo ships in Guazhou, Zhuzhou and other places.
And that's all money on paper.
The Yu fleet even collected thousands of Japanese warriors in the Penglai Islands, and they could almost compete with the pirates in the South China Sea and the East China Sea.
The porcelain and silk of the Great Liang were exchanged for a steady stream of silver from overseas, half of which went into the inner treasury of Emperor Liang, except for buying off officials and paying some money, the rest of these were enough to make the Yu family the richest man in Jiangnan.
Now His Majesty Emperor Liang is over sixty years old, this year the new name Jinghe, pushed the eldest prince to the court, the court finances have been losing money year after year, the court borrowed the ticket number has even been connected to three years later, and Emperor Liang is still repairing the palace and raising high-rise buildings.
Up to now, the imperial court didn't even have the money to give Emperor Liang Taishan to seal Zen, and Emperor Liang's attitude towards the Yu family began to be a little subtle.
Governor Han is the minister of the humerus appointed by Emperor Liang and the crown prince, and this time he came to Jiangnan, cleaning up the salt is secondary, and I am afraid that the most important thing is the Yu family.
And Gu Huaiming's identity is special, and he has become the key.
Yu Mingzhu took a deep breath, from the time she relived her life to this moment, it was only three days, but she felt that it was longer than the forty or fifty years in her previous life.
"Grandfather, I see."
Yu Wansan let out a long sigh, patted Yu Mingzhu's shoulder, and turned to leave.
Yu Mingzhu looked at the moon outside the window and said to Dye Dong who was waiting outside, "Where is my uncle now?" ”
Dye Dong said very respectfully: "My uncle is in the study, I see that my uncle is a little uncomfortable, it seems that he is infected with the wind cold, presumably he was tired from running around last night." ”
"Change my clothes, I'll go see my uncle."
Dye Dong put a cloak on Yu Mingzhu, and Dye Dong took Yu Mingzhu to the study with a lantern.
There was a candle flame in the huge study, and Gu Huaiming sat in front of the candle flame and seemed to be reading.
Yu Mingzhu said softly: "How do they serve Mi Yue, why don't they light more candles, it really hurts my eyes to read books like this." ”
Gu Huaiming looked up at Yu Mingzhu, Yu Mingzhu gave Dye Dong a look, Dye Dong put down the box, bowed down, and retreated.
Gu Huaiming looked at Yu Mingzhu and asked in a low voice, "What is Madam looking for me to do?" ”
"Yesterday, the sister-in-law of the Wang family gave me a box of Tianshan Snow Lotus Seeds, saying that it was a good tonic, so she sent it to her husband."
Gu Huaiming opened the box of Tianshan Snow Lotus Seeds, his eyes moved slightly, and then he said softly: "Why do you need Mrs. to run again for such a trivial matter, just let Dye Dong send it." ”
Yu Mingzhu smiled and nodded.
"What the husband said is that tomorrow I will ask Dye Dong to send two more quilts to the study, and the weather will get colder and colder in the future, and my husband's body may not be able to stand it."
Yu Mingzhu said extremely calmly, but Gu Huaiming frowned and said, "Madame, is this not going to let me enter the room again?" ”
Yu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment.
"Of course not."
Gu Huaiming said lightly: "What is that?" ”
A pair of eyes are as deep as promised.
Yu Mingzhu lowered her head, frowning slightly, only to see her stretch out her hand to grab Gu Huaiming's arm and gently tug the corner of his clothes.
Jiao Sheng said: "Naturally, I was wrong, and my husband is going to be angry with me again." ”
Gu Huaiming didn't speak, and Yu Mingzhu took this opportunity to say to Ran Dong, who was standing outside, "Quickly pack up for my uncle." ”
"All right, the slave is here."
The two returned to Wenlan Courtyard, Yu Mingzhu yawned, and said with a smile: "I just woke up, and now I am sleepy again. ”
Gu Huaiming smiled and said nothing.
She took off her coat, washed herself, and went into her inner room.
The two of them were lying together, but it was much warmer than sleeping alone, the wind was rustling outside, and the two of them were breathing for a long time, but they didn't say anything all night.
In the early morning of the second day, Yu Mingzhu woke up and ordered Dye Dong to call Dye Qiu to come in and wait.
There was a strong wind last night, and a few girls were infected with the wind and cold and took leave, Mi Yue was bedridden since she came back, saying that she was frightened by the homeless, and the whole Wenlan courtyard was a lot quieter.
Gu Huaiming was still sleeping peacefully in the inner room, and Yu Mingzhu went to the outer room with his clothes on.
Ran Qiu knelt on the ground and said: "Miss Hui, the slave maid went to inquire, Ran Chun has an old relationship with the eldest son, she is the distant niece of the eldest prince's grandmother, but she didn't know each other before." ”
"How did Dye Chun and the eldest young master of Dongfu meet? Can you inquire clearly? ”
Dye Qiu continued: "The slave asked the girl next to Miss Mingxiang, and said that once Miss stayed in Miss Mingxiang's courtyard, and it was snowing heavily that day......
