Hailing City, Yunfu.

At this time, the winter solstice had passed, and the cold wind was blowing, making the windows of the house rustle, and the maids walking on the road couldn't help but wrap their slightly thin clothes.

As the richest family in Hailing City, the Yun family's courtyards have already been lit with carbon stoves, even if it is cold outside, it is warm inside.

In a certain courtyard, the fine silver charcoal in the charcoal stove made a slight noise, and the woman sitting on the top moved her eyelids slightly, and began to slowly turn the string of rosewood Buddhist beads in her hand.

There was another soft thud—this time not from the stove, but with the door pulled open a slit, and the comer, as if to prevent the wind from blowing into the room, came almost sideways.

Before he could salute, the woman above had already opened her eyes and said slowly, "Coming?" ”

Yun Heliang's face was slightly panicked, and he quickly knelt down and said, "Mother, my son has something to delay for a while, so he came a little late. ”

"Get up." Li asked the maid next to him to help him up, and by the way, he brought him the tea that had just been brewed, "I'm already the head of the family and kneel to me, and most of the others will listen to jokes." ”

Only then did he get up and pat his robe and sit on the side, and Li Shi didn't ink with him and said directly: "I heard that He is also pregnant?" ”

The county lord of Guangping was pregnant, and the people around Yun Heliang reported to her, but Yun Heliang did not mention anything about He's pregnancy.

Although her tone was not mixed with any feelings, Yun Heliang did know that she was not in a good mood, so he could only stubbornly say: "He's pregnancy is just a trivial matter, how can I worry about my mother?" ”

"Do you not bother me or do you not want me to let me know at all?" Li Shi looked at him coldly, "A woman who came out of Yihong Mansion is also a loss, can you stay until now?" ”

When the words came out, Li Shi felt a little excessive, and glanced at the maids on both sides, those maids carried their skirts and saluted out, and Li Shi eased his face and said: "You also know Zhilu's temperament, how can you hide this from me?" In the past two days, she has brought people to me and cried several times. ”

Zhilu is the name of the lord of Quang Binh.

"It's the son's negligence, it's just that the He family has been included in the house for many years, and now he is pregnant again......"

"Compared with the county lord of Guangping, which is more important?" Lee's words hit the nail on the head.

"Naturally, he is the county lord, but the county lord is a golden branch and jade leaf......"

Li Shi said again: "You also know what is the use of giving birth to a child of a concubine? Otherwise, why did Yunfu not have an heir for so long? ”

"What's more, He's the only one who knows about it." Lee's word by word is authentic.

Speaking of that incident, Yun Heliang's face became solemn: "What Mother said is that the Bai family has been suspecting the cause of that person's death in the past few months, but fortunately, even if the medicine is a pestle of the yamen, it can't be found, but it's not a good thing to let them investigate." ”

"The Bai family's original relationship with us was that person," Li sneered, "Even if that person is there, I dare to show their family's face, not to mention that now that they are gone, compared to our family, the Bai family is just shrimp and crab in Hailing City." ”

"That's true, I can't take it to heart just because there is movement in the Bai family, in addition to the Bai family, there are also some movements in the Ning family."

"The Ning family?"

I haven't heard of this family for a while, and the Ning family's sense of existence in Hailing City is actually very low, and they don't rely on officials or businessmen, and they don't even know what this family has relied on to get to where it is now.

The relationship between the Ning family and the Bai family is not ordinary.

"The Ning family is not as good as other family members Ding Xingwang," the Li family thought for a while, "In addition to the Ning family, in addition to Ning Tongwu, the head of the Ning family, there seems to be an eldest brother named Ning Tonghua, but he went to Jingnan more than ten years ago and there is no news." ”

Li had already sensed that Yun Heliang was changing the topic, and she was not in a hurry to turn the conversation back, turning the Buddha beads to let him continue.

"Speaking of Jingnan City, Wangu has already arrived in Hailing yesterday, and the accounts have been submitted, and he has lost 30,000 taels of silver in Jingnan City this year."

"It's too much to lose," the Li family frowned, 40,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, the salt from the Central Plains is constantly being transported to Jingnan City, not only does it not make any money, but it is losing money every year, and the Yun family can't stand it like this, "Is there any problem in the account book?" ”

"No," Yun Heliang shook his head, "It is true that we have lost 30,000 taels of silver, and the obstruction of the Liu family in Jingnan City and the Jingnan Hou Mansion is greater than we imagined, and it is ......"

Without Bai Jin, it would be difficult for him to stabilize the Yun family's status in Jingnan on his own.

After so many years, he and the Li family completely coveted the account books, and they knew nothing about running a salt mill, and they could stabilize the trading in the Central Plains under the protection of the imperial court.

"There is a little strange thing in the account book sent by Wan Gu," Yun Heliang's eyes were a little strange, "Under the salt shop that opened in Anping Town near Jingnan City before, I used to buy two thousand catties of salt for three hundred taels of silver. ”

"What does this mean?" Li didn't pay much attention to the price of salt, and blurted out.

"This is nearly five times the price to buy salt, if the salt mill was really short of salt at that time, it would not cost so much silver to buy it at the local salt shop, Yun Wangu didn't know about this matter, and he had no reason to swallow this silver."

"My son wants to go to Jingnan after the year."

"Feel free," Li felt that this was almost the case, "can you tell me why you left the He family?" ”

Yun Heliang had already thought of the reason, and his purpose in the words just now was not to change the topic, but to find an opportunity to say these words to the Li family: "According to my mother's words, the He family really can't stay, but I think about it for many days, there are still some benefits to leaving the He family, if Zhilu doesn't give birth to a boy after a few months......"

Li Shi closed his eyes and slowly sharpened the meaning of Moyun Heliang's words: "You mean you want to leave a way?" ”

"Exactly." Yun Heliang smiled at this time, "Although it can't be affirmed, it can at least improve the odds." ”

"If you say so, what else can I say." Li sighed lightly and said, "Even if you say so, after the child is born, the He family will have to go wherever he wants." ”

"Thank you, Mother."

Yun Heliang breathed a sigh of relief, although there were many female dependents in Yunfu, what he loved the most was the He family's amorous style, and it was a pity to give it up easily, even if she knew about it, he didn't intend to force her to death.

As for the county lord of Guangping, in his eyes, in addition to consolidating the relationship between the Yun family and the imperial court, he is no different from other women.
