Chapter 189: The Marriage of the Homecoming Lady
"Yue'er, your eldest brother asked me to tell you that the Yushan side is all ready, just wait for your orders, and you can officially mine it." When there was no one at night, Yu said to Gui Mingyue.
According to the memory of Gui Mingyue's previous life, the area of Yushan contains Nanyang Dushan jade, the jade quality of Dushan jade is tough and dense, delicate and soft, and the tentacles are warm and moist, which makes people feel good. In terms of color, it is even more mottled. Different from the blue or milky white jade obtained by Gui Mingyue when he gambled in Khotan, Dushan jade has green, blue, yellow, purple, red, white, black and other colors, which are rare in the world in his own era, not to mention in this ancient period.
Such jade, whether it is made into colorful jewelry heads, or made into utensils and ornaments, Gui Mingyue can imagine its popularity.
It has not been mined before, mainly because it is afraid of provoking people's eyes, and the jade that Gui Mingyue got from Khotan has not been exhausted, so there are flowers and plants planted on the mountain, and the appearance looks no different from other mountains.
Except for the return family, no one else knows the secret of this mountain.
Now that it's an extraordinary time, it's time to use it.
Gui Mingyue thought about it, it is February and March now, and the frozen soil on Yushan should soon melt, and in a few days, it will be more than a dozen constructions.
Mining this Hayama and finding reliable laborers is not a problem. The problem is that such a large jade mine, once it is released, it will inevitably cause a sensation and blush, and I am afraid that this jade mine will not be able to be kept with the current situation of returning home.
Gui Mingyue has always considered this problem, when Ji Yunyi was at home before, there was no problem with mining. It's different now, even if the people outside are jealous of their identity as the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Hou Mansion, what about the people in the mansion, the eldest lady of the main courtyard, Lin Zhanmei of Nanyuan, and even the fourth aunt who is mercenary, will they let themselves monopolize this treasure mountain in peace?
Apparently impossible.
After a while, Gui Mingyue turned to Gui Jingxue and said, "Eldest sister, I still have you to help me in the matter of Yushan." ”
Gui Jingxue nodded and said, "What does Yue'er need me to do, just ask." ”
"I need someone, someone with a certain strength and power, to sit in Hayama." Gui Mingyue wants to give this feather mountain an insurance.
"And this person, I think Wu Jingnan, the eldest son of the Wu family, is the most suitable," Gui Mingyue said in a deep voice: "Last time, the eldest sister went to ask the eldest son of Wu to help Angelica Pavilion tide over the difficulties, so I had to help my sister ......"
Gui Mingyue looked at the eldest sister with affection, in fact, she also knew that this was not very appropriate, after all, the eldest sister was not a business person like herself, and there was a big defense between men and women, and she still needed to avoid suspicion.
originally thought that the eldest sister would hesitate, but who knew that she immediately nodded with a red face and promised, and Gui Mingyue was grateful in her heart.
"The eldest son of the Wu family...... Are you talking about the eldest son of the Wu family? Yu Shi was taken aback, and then hurriedly said: "No, Xue'er can't deal with him." ”
"Why?" Without waiting for Gui Mingyue to speak, Gui Jingxue said with questions on her face.
"This ...... This, since ancient times, men and women have not kissed, how can you, a yellow flower girl, meet a foreign man privately, yes, you can't! Yu said.
"Mother, what are you talking about, how could I see him privately......" Gui Jingxue stomped her feet and said, "It's just that in their Wu family's shop, they made the words clear, let him help us." ”
Besides, his family has a big business, so many shops, and he does everything himself, so many ladies and ladies come and go in his shop every day, and I don't see anyone gossiping.
Gui Jingxue thought unconvinced.
"This ...... Anyway, it just doesn't work. Yu couldn't make sense, so he had to refuse in a muffled voice. The sisters asked her again, and she simply shut up.
"Mother, this matter is too important to Yue'er, just let the eldest sister go." Gui Mingyue had no choice but to beg.
Yu sighed, also relieved, and only told Gui Jingxue to go to the Wu family's shop, and left quickly after finishing speaking.
Gui Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and Gui Jingxue pursed her lips, her cheeks a little crimson.
On the second day, Yu and Gui Jingxue left the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion.
Gui Mingyue's heart was also rarely relaxed, and she got up and wrote another letter to Ji Yunyi, in the past two months, she has written four or five letters to Ji Yunyi, although none of them have been sent. But Gui Mingyue still habitually wrote to him, telling him about what had happened recently, happy things, and unhappy things.
Since Ji Yunyi's side came to those two letters last month, another one said that it had arrived in northern Xinjiang, with only a few strokes, and it seemed that it was written in a scribble, saying that the situation over there was not very good, and after a few words, no more letters came. Gui Mingyue sometimes thinks about it unconsciously, but she feels that she should believe him.
It is believed that one day he will soon be able to return to the court and meet himself and their children. Gui Mingyue unconsciously stroked her still flat lower abdomen.
Let's say that in the Wu family's rice shop in Nanyang County, Wu Jingnan happened to be here to inspect the account books. He is going to help Angelica Pavilion solve the current difficulties, and he happens to have time to go out to visit a few shops.
The matter of returning home to the shop was not a difficult task for him, and he used his connections to quickly fill the temporary shortage of gold, silver and gem materials in the shop...... What makes him most anxious at the moment is that there has been no news from the young master Ji Yunyi, as if he has lost the news.
After reading the account book, Wu Jingnan was worried about the young master's affairs, and someone outside said that the young lady who had returned home had something to meet.
It was Gui Jingxue who was wearing a fence, and when Wu Jingnan came out, she was standing under a white magnolia tree in the courtyard, unable to see her face, but her posture was graceful, which made it difficult for Wu Jingnan to associate with Gui Jingxue, who was as strong as a cold boy in the school in the old days.
Especially when his eyes touched her pair of white sleeves and soft pancreas, remembering the scene when she sent the ring to him that day, Wu Jingnan couldn't help but blush, but quickly coughed twice to cover up the past.
Gui Jingxue Yingying walked in front of Wu Jingnan and said what she meant, Wu Jingnan was stunned at first, and then unbelievable and shocked.
"Is what Miss Gui said serious? Is there really jade on the mountain? "Wu Jingnan is a businessman after all, and if he is a businessman, he will be full of curiosity and excitement about this matter.
Gui Jingxue said with a smile.
"Okay, no problem, even if you are mining, you will claim to be my Wu family's property to the outside world, and I will send more people to help later, and I will also go." Wu Jingnan said happily, with a more gentle tone than usual.
Gui Jingxue came out, his footsteps were a little cramped, and he finally got into the carriage, and his face was already red clouds.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" If the maid Huan thought that her young lady was sick, she hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Gui Jingxue waved her hand again and again, urging the carriage to leave.
Wu Jingnan sent Gui Jingxue away, and the anxiety of the young master for many days because of the lack of news was strangely relieved.
"Someone," Wu Jingnan sorted out his thoughts, and ordered loudly, and one group of people continued to inquire about the young master's letters at the major post stations, and then sent people to the north to inquire about the news, and the other people went to invite some craftsmen who knew how to mine jade to send them home......
"Young master, a young lady came to the shop, saying that she wanted to meet the young master." The shopkeeper outside came in to report, and the young master who wanted to come from home was also of marriageable age, and two graceful girls came to find the young master one day.
However, the last young lady had a power fence and couldn't see her face clearly, but this one showed her face generously, which is called a beautiful and good-looking, tsk, the housekeeper couldn't help but sigh for his young master.
Facing Wu Jingnan's doubts, the girl said with a smile: "The little girl's name is Cai Wei, and it is the first time she came to buy rice, and she asked Young Master Wu for some advice. ”
Wu Jingnan was even more confused, if she bought rice, the store was full of young men, so why didn't she ask them if she had any questions. Especially the way she looked at herself, Wu Jingnan frowned slightly, but he had always been gentle and tolerant, and seeing that this woman's face was familiar and so kind, he also patiently explained these different types of rice to this strange woman.
When the magpie led Yu in, he saw Gui Caiwei standing next to a rather handsome man, smiling and looking at him with a gentle and watery sideways head, smiling and saying a few words from time to time, looking like a pair of beautiful people.
"Oh, Miss clearly said that she came to this shop today to discuss something with Young Master Wu, why is the third miss ......" Magpie pretended to be surprised and said.
Yu sighed and said, "Look at your young lady in the future, and let her come to this Wu family's rice shop." As he spoke, he glanced at the young man and woman again, and turned to leave the shop.
When he walked to the road, Yu turned a corner again and went to the house of the most famous Zhang matchmaker in the county.
It's time to go to the Wu family to propose, she remembers what Gui Caiwei said in her ear last time, the girl said that she had already received a private relationship with the eldest son of the Wu family, and she was pregnant with a child...... This kind of thing, even if her two daughters ask, where did she say it? Ay!
But now it seems that there is indeed something between Cai Wei's girl and the Wu family's son. If you don't mention your relatives again, after a few days, your belly will be revealed, and the girl will be scolded by someone, although Gui Caiwei did not come out of her belly, the concubine who gave birth to her Liu died early, and she was also a poor child, and she was called a mother anyway.
Yu has always been soft-hearted.
Gui Caiwei listened back to Xue Xuan, frowned and said, "What about the magpie girl, she has been elusive and absent these days, so she won't have any careful thoughts." ”
"I heard that her mother is sick, and she has been busy taking medicine and seeing a doctor these days." Huan Ruo hurriedly said.
"The magpie is an outsider that my mother bought from a man, and I have a mother in Nanyang County." Gui Jingxue said in surprise.
Huan Ruo shook her head and only said, "Slave maid, let's go check it out." ”
Gui Jingxue nodded, she had long suspected that something was wrong with the magpie. Now is the time when my sister's Yushan is going to play a big role.,Can't go wrong.,Although I'm not good.,But you have to make sure that you don't make trouble for Yue'er.。
So, although Huan Ruo still hasn't been able to find out the magpie's cattiness in the past few days, she finally has some clues. And for a few days in a row, Gui Jingxue and her brother Gui Chengzhi were busy with the affairs of Yushan, and occasionally met Wu Jingnan, and they would also say a few words, although Gui Jingxue was shy, her heart was very sweet.
The busy Gui Jingxue sometimes used the meals in her yard, so she didn't notice that her father and mother were also doing another thing.
On this day, Yu personally took Mrs. Zhang to the Wu family compound in the capital, and met a magpie halfway through, and the maid didn't know why she had to join in the fun, and Yu didn't think about it, so she let her follow.
Wu Jingnan's mother is the head of the Wu family, and she is also a businessman, and she is a woman with an extremely cool personality.
Wu Jingnan, this kid, is not young anymore, and he has always refused to discuss marriage, and his younger brother Erlang married the daughter of a squire in Nanyang County early, Liu, which made her not in a hurry.
It's okay now, Mrs. Wu clapped her hands and was happy. Immediately let Yu take a seat, and ordered his subordinates to call Brother Nan over.
"Come on, Brother Nan, this is the mother of Miss Gui, I heard that you have already been in love with Miss Gui of other people, why didn't you tell your mother earlier, hahaha."
Wu Jingnan listened to her mother's words, and then looked at the girl magpie next to Yu's side, she was the maid next to Gui Jingxue, Wu Jingnan blushed rarely.
This family business is even a verbal decision.
Yu was not good at words, and he didn't know what to say anymore, so he hurriedly said goodbye and led Mrs. Zhang and Magpie to leave Wu's house.
"Oh, Mrs. Yu, you just said that your daughter-in-law intends to marry his son-in-law, and you didn't say that it was the third lady, people don't think it's the eldest lady." After all, after so many years, few people in the world know that there is a third lady who has returned home. Mrs. Zhang couldn't help asking, she has been a matchmaker for so much, but she is a cautious and thoughtful person.
"Bah, what are you talking about?" Yu scolded unhappily, how could her eldest daughter of Bingqing Yujie marry such a man from Meng Lang, she didn't bring this seemingly clear young master of the Wu family, if it wasn't for Cai Wei's girl begging her, she wouldn't have come.
"That's right, Aunt Zhang, this young master of the Wu family is not stupid, which one has affection for him, and he still doesn't know what to do?" The magpie on the side also hurriedly spoke.
"Yes, yes, that's the case." Mrs. Zhang was relieved.
