Chapter 152: Coal Mine
Before he finished speaking, he was robbed, "I will ask my father for the medical fee, the old lady can take the medicine with peace of mind, and there will be nothing to delay the old lady's rest." ”
After speaking, he pulled Zhiwan to salute, and then strode out of the door, looking at the bright sunshine outside, Zhiwan was still stunned.
When I got out, I was puzzled, "What are you doing so can't wait?" Can the old lady still eat me? ”
Ye Guiyue looked at Zhiwan and glanced at her, "Don't come to Chunhui Courtyard to ask for peace if you have nothing to do in the future, the old lady speaks very directly, if you don't leave, she will ask the maid to take Chen'er Si'er to show her." ”
"Isn't it a good idea?"
"It's nothing, but she will say that you and I are newlyweds, Yan'er, the princess has to take care of the inner courtyard, she is bored, and she wants to help you bring dust and thought."
Zhiwan was speechless, would the old lady be so strange, she is a newlywed Yan'er, but there is a nurse to take care of Chen'er and Si'er, no one will bother her, Zhiwan is still wondering, Ye Guiyue sighed lightly, and said, "The old lady is not as simple as you think, back then, my father divided half of the emperor's ironclad guards, and the old lady looked for death and life to find her father, and my father didn't care, so he picked six from his secret guards to her, originally the six secret guards were to listen to her father, but in the hands of the old lady for less than a month, she no longer listened to her father, and now ten years have passed, The old lady has no idea how many people there are, and no one knows what she is going to do. ”
Zhiwan looked at Ye Guiyue in horror, if he didn't tell her this, she wouldn't have thought that the old lady would have such a means to kill, it was too terrible.
The most important thing in cultivating secret guards is loyalty, the old lady can make them lose their loyalty to the prince within a month, and turn to her, can they do it without some powerful means? And that was ten years ago, listening to the meaning of Ye Guiyue's words, the old lady must be cultivating her own power, as for how much, he doesn't know, it can be seen how deep it is hidden.
Linmo Xuan. Yao's mother was very happy to ask Mei Lan Qiuju and a few maids to clean up the fallen leaves of the acacia trees in the yard, and move out the low and spacious wooden couch, as well as rattles and big dong pearls. Jade toys, rag dolls...... The small couches surrounded by wooden railings on all sides were piled up to a height of half a mountain.
Zhiwan walked over, looked at the three-meter-long wooden couch, and smiled at the bottom of his eyes, "This wooden couch is good, don't worry about the dust Si'er falling." ”
Even if it falls down, it is not afraid, the periphery of the wooden couch is a thick carpet, for the maid to sit there and play with the child, this design Zhiwan is very satisfied, that is what she wanted to do but did not have time to do.
Yao's mother smiled when she heard this. "The prince has a heart, and he sent a small servant early in the morning, in addition to this one in the yard, there are two smaller ones in the house, and the toys are sent a bunch of them."
Poria watched from the sidelines. His eyes were shining, "The prince sent a bunch of them, and the emperor also rewarded him with a push when he named the little county lord and the little county lord, all of which were made of high-grade jade. ”
Poria is distressed, that jade Ruyi is exquisite, and it costs a hundred taels of silver, not to mention a hundred taels of silver. Zhiwan frowned when he saw it, the jade really didn't fall, so he said, "Put away all the jade toys that are easy to be brittle, and go back and ask the carpenter and silversmith master to make a copy, and those jade toys will be exchanged for silver." Take it to disaster relief and pray for the blessings of these two little ones. ”
Yao's mother was a little reluctant, but she agreed, after the birth of the little master and young lady of the rich and noble family, she would indeed give porridge and pray for blessings. Instead of those toys being broken, it is better to replace them with silver taels to help the people and ask for a good fortune.
The prince happened to walk to the gate of the courtyard, and when he heard Zhiwan's words, a touch of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
The prince did not enter the courtyard, but turned around and left.
The maid is busy, the small couch is not placed under the big tree, and the gauze tent is hung up, so as not to fall leaves, there are insects to frighten the two children, incense was burned next to it, and tables and chairs were moved to Zhiwan for use, originally Ye Guiyue was reading in the study, looking at Zhiwan reading comfortably in the yard, playing with the children, and humming a little tune, and even took off his shoes into the small couch to tease the two children, the indescribable tranquility in his heart, the smile at the corner of his mouth could not be held back, put down the book, and went out.
Ye Guiyue originally walked towards the small couch, but when he passed by the desk, he raised his eyebrows, paused, picked up the drawings on the desk with a paperweight, and the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became.
Zhiwan glanced at him, took in his expression, and said with a smile, "How about it, my way of exercising my physique like this is good, right?" ”
Ye Guiyue twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at Zhiwan, "These are good, but it's not appropriate for you to let them pick coal, right?" ”
Zhiwan bared his teeth, "Why is it not appropriate, is there a difference between carrying water and carrying sandbags and picking coal?" I'm using the labor as much as I can, and besides, the coal is used to soak them in medicinal baths, and they only need to make one trip a day. ”
Leng Feng stood aside, listening to the corner of his eyes, the princess of the county is using people to the extreme, running to the coal mine, one person picks up a load of coal and returns to the camp, three thousand people, that is three thousand quintals......
Zhiwan put Si'er down, took a rattle to her, then got up and instructed Leng Fengdao, "You go to my cousin Su Ang and tell him that in the future, the Su family's pharmacy in Kyoto will supply me with no less than five thousand taels of medicinal materials per month." ”
Leng Feng's legs were weak, he almost didn't lie down, and looked at Ye Guiyue directly, there was no way, the princess of the county was so generous, he couldn't stand it, Ye Guiyue waved his hand, "You go." ”
As soon as the cold wind left, Ye Guiyue looked at Zhiwan with a smile, "You're not afraid that people will know that you can heal, why are you so high-profile?" ”
Zhiwan hooked his lips and smiled, more charming than Peony, "It used to be before, I thought I could keep a low profile, but now the identity of my first village aunt is well known, and the news of not being a daughter and not a doctor has also spread, how can I be low-key, besides, my husband is the king of the county, my son and daughter are either the king of the county or the lord of the county, and the prince also looks up to me by three points, the emperor praises me a lot, how can I be low-key, since I can't be low-key, then be high-profile to the end." ”
Bang Bang Bang!
The applause came, Zhiwan glanced over, and saw Yuan Hao and Chu Pei clapping their hands and coming in, their handsome faces were particularly dazzling in the sun, and both of them also looked at Zhiwan, especially Chu Pei, looking Zhiwan up and down, "The first village aunt is really worthy of her reputation, as long as you give you money, you don't have to marry you, you will beat me I can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, but I have always wanted to see you, but I didn't expect to see you a long time ago." ”
Chu Pei and Yuan Hao are Ye Guiyue's friends. I often come to Mo Xuan, and I am used to talking without a form, in fact, Mrs. Chu wants to ask for the first village aunt for the eldest young master of the Chu family, which was a joke in Kyoto at that time. So listening to Chu Pei say this, those maids and wives all covered their mouths and snickered, the princess of the county was really domineering, the identity of the village girl, and she was helpless, so she dared to threaten like this, beating a young master of a family, and she couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest.
Chu Pei and Yuan Hao stepped forward, directly ignoring Ye Guiyue and walking to the side of the small couch. Condescendingly, he looked at the two dusty Si'er who were pushing Da Dongzhu to play, and faked a cough before saluting, "Say hello to the little county king and the little county lord." ”
After speaking, he asked Ye Guiyue to say goodbye. "Say hello to the little prince and his father."
Zhiwan's face is full of black lines, these two people are definitely deliberately knocking Ye Guiyue, the son's title is higher than his father's, and he is still the son who was born not long ago, it's a shame to spread it!
However, a certain county king is very angry, and he is not familiar with the two of them, so he sits in a rocking chair. Dangling leisurely, "Looking for me for something?" ”
Chu Pei glanced at Zhiwan before he said, "I just entered the courtyard gate, and when I heard the high-profile words of the princess of the county, I suddenly felt arrogant. Five-body throwing ....... ”
“…… Speak human words! ”
“…… Ahem, it's just that the two of us want to mix two drinks with you. ”
Zhiwan walked to Ye Guiyue's side and stood, looking Yuan Hao and Chu Pei up and down, are these two reliable, Yuan Hao and Chu Pei straightened their backs. Energetic, and the jade fan bar was opened with a click, a pleasant fan.
Ye Guiyue looked at Zhiwan, "You have an idea." ”
Zhiwan pulled the corners of her mouth, "It's better for you to make an idea, I didn't know that Chen'er Si'er was your son and daughter before, so the division was a little clear, now yours and mine will be Chen'er Si'er's in the future, of course you have an idea." ”
Zhiwan said that the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the two men posing opposite were messy in the wind, what do you mean that you didn't know that Chen'er Si'er was your son and daughter before?
Didn't she give birth to those two children, the mother didn't even know who the child's father was, the two looked at Ye Guiyue with a strange look, what did you do?
Ye Guiyue's face slowly darkened, he naturally saw the inquiring color in the eyes of the two, and couldn't help but give a big roll of his eyes, "Fifty percent of the coal mines in Kyoto belong to the imperial court, and the two of you will take one percent." ”
Yuan Hao and Chu Pei glanced at each other, and there was a big question mark on the door of their heads, "What is a coal mine?" ”
They have only heard of gold mines, silver mines, copper mines, iron mines, salt mines, etc., but they have never heard of coal mines.
Leng Feng took a step forward and replied to the master who answered lazily for his family, "The word coal mine is the first time we have heard of it today, and it was proposed by the princess of the county. ”
Of course they are relieved, if the coal mine is proposed by a certain county king, they are not at ease, the first village girl will earn silver They have not heard of it, three thousand taels of silver bought Chunfeng Lou, the result is that the first village girl is the princess of the county, Chunfeng Lou is not the prince of the county, I am afraid that the boss behind the Chunfeng Lou will vomit blood if he knows the news.
There is also her rule that she is not a daughter, she has been cured of Rong Jingxuan's cold illness for so many years, and she helped prepare a unique hibiscus banquet, the sound of the piano is elegant, this woman is a mystery.
The two of them sat in Linmoxuan for a while, and then they were leaving, no way, people are on their first wedding day today, and they enjoy this time very much, they make light bulbs, and it's strange if they don't get bombed, but will they let them leave so easily?
Is Yicheng Coal Mine so easy to take?
That's going to be a cow and a horse for her!
Zhiwan will not be polite to them, turning the coal mine into honeycomb coal, there are a lot of things to prepare, and how to burn honeycomb coal, there are also tools, which can also make a profit, Zhiwan is on the desk, writing in a hurry, including how many workers are invited, what materials are needed, and production tools...... Ten sheets of paper were written.
After writing, Zhiwan handed it to the two, "Counting today, you only have three days to prepare these things, and you will officially go to work on the fourth day." ”
Yuan Hao and Chu Pei were sweating on their foreheads, this is too rushed, even to open a small shop, people will have ten days and half a month to prepare, Zhiwan told them very clearly that she and Ye Guiyue are going to go out to play, and there is not much time to produce in coal mines such as Kyoto, in fact, these things look complicated, and it is very fast to find someone to do it.
What else can Yuan Hao and Chu Pei say, they are very interested in the honeycomb coal that is smokeless, non-toxic and non-choking, and can burn all night, in their cognition, only silver frost charcoal can do it!
Silver frost charcoal two taels of silver a catty, ordinary people can't afford it at all.
After Yuan Hao and Chu Pei left, Lin Moxuan came, and several girls in the third and fourth rooms of the big house came to see their nephews and nieces of the little county lord and the little county lord.
Nine girls. It is purple and red, rings and rings, and it looks pretty, which is really beautiful and delicious. It's fascinating.
In addition to Si'er, there is a county lord in the palace, and the princess is called Ye Jiaojiao.
Today, she is wearing a peach-colored embroidered butterfly skirt, with a melon-seed-shaped face, white and tender as jade, lightly smeared with rouge, her cheeks are ruddy like Qionghua, white and red, and her eyebrows are curved. It seems to be a painting but not a painting, his eyes are shining, and he is shaking with a golden hairpin on his head, and he is shaking lightly as he walks. The fair-skinned Hao wore a milky white jade bracelet on her wrist, and the warm mutton fat jade exuded this faint brilliance, which complemented her outfit.
The rest of the girls were slightly worse than her, but they were not far behind, just like peonies and peonies, each with its own style.
Several girls stepped forward and sat on the carpet around the couch. opened a pair of smart eyes, with judgment and scrutiny.
Chen'er kicked Da Dongzhu with his foot, and just rolled to Ye Ranju in the fourth room, Ye Ranju was a little speechless, this is too extravagant, let's finish treating Da Dongzhu as a toy. couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Although the little county king looks like a big brother, he is still so young, how can the prince and the emperor be so precious to him, and make him the county king." It's still above the big brother. ”
Ye Ranshu, the daughter of the fourth room, is the pain that the fourth wife holds in the palm of her hand, even so, in her cognition, if she wants to get the love of the fourth master, that is, her father, it is to be coquettish, courteous, and make her father happy, and her father will buy her a gift to hurt her.
Still breastfeeding, can't speak, one accidentally will pee on people, in addition to the cuteness, I don't think there is any difference with ordinary children, why do the prince and the emperor like them so much, if only she could learn.
Several girls surrounded the couch, but they didn't dare to speak loudly, because Si'er squinted her eyes and fell asleep there, Chunxiang took a small scarf to help her cover her navel, and Chen'er was still kicking her feet there, giggling, still drooling, and rolling her eyes when she saw Zhiwan, this kid won't be lustful, right?
The little maid outside came in and said, "The prince of the county, the princess of the county, the princess of Huai, the princess of Huai, the marquis of Jiang Xin, and Mrs. Jiang Xinhou are here." ”
The maid spoke louder, and the nine girls quickly stood up, straightened their skirts, and went up to meet them.
At the gate of the courtyard, Princess Huai Wang Huai walked in front, Jiang Xinhou, and Mrs. Jiang Xinhou walked behind, all with a gentle smile on their faces.
The four of them are Ye Guiyue's uncles and aunts, and when their nephew married the princess of the county, they all came to congratulate them, and of course the joy of giving birth to a child also came, but I didn't expect the time interval to be so urgent, overnight, there were two more children, or the county lord and the county lord, the emperor and the prince were extremely favored, could they do it if they didn't come?
Family affection doesn't move around, no matter how strong it is, it's weak, otherwise how can there be a saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors?
Secondly, Jiang Xinhou is very interested in the coal mine, which can increase the tax revenue by 20 times, that is a fragrant dumpling, such a big piece, even if a little scum drops from the mouth of the little county king, it is enough for the Hou Mansion to live for a year.
The gifts sent by the two were very rich, and they were embarrassed to know the night, so they asked Bai Peony to take two boxes of cosmetics prepared before and send them back to Princess Huai and Mrs. Jiang Xinhou.
After half a cup of tea, Princess Huai made her intention clear, "On the way here, I heard Jiang Xinhou talk about the coal mine, that thing sounds novel, and my nephew is full of confidence that that thing can make money, but I want to buy shares." ”
I didn't ask if I could, I just wanted to, and I took out a piece of five thousand taels of silver directly from my arms and put it on the table, and I frowned at the end of the day, and I felt like I was being persecuted.
Ye Guiyue took the tea and sipped it, his eyes didn't even glance at the silver ticket, and after taking two sips, he put the teacup down before saying, "My father has already gone to the emperor, and in the future, only Chen'er has the right to mine and sell the coal mines of the Dayue Dynasty. ”
Go to the prince to talk, King Huai and Jiang Xinhou glanced at each other, shook their heads again and again, the king of Zhennan went to the emperor to discuss the coal mine, and it was bound to fight you and me, and in the end, they were equal, five or five were divided, they went to the prince to ask, didn't let the prince be less than the emperor, and the prince would agree.
Xinzhou is the fief of Chen'er Si'er, and they can't interfere, only Kyoto, the two of them regretted taking five thousand taels out, and five thousand taels were enough for them to buy those mountains, but Ye Guiyue's words below made them cheeky, "Does the king of this county lack your money to buy shares?" ”
The word lack of money, no one will use it on him, people have no money, they can rely on the gold medal to rob the emperor's small treasury, and for so many years, the emperor's reward, he is worth all the princes of Kyoto, he will be short of money?
Mrs. Jiang Xinhou's eyes darkened slightly, as if she had made up her mind, she twisted the embroidered handkerchief, and cried poorly, "The prince of the county is not short of money, but your two uncles and aunts are short of silver, the Hou is busy with government affairs, and I am not good at business. ”
Zhiwan was speechless when he heard it, the corners of his mouth pulled and pulled, Ye Guiyue was also impatient, the eldest wife, the third wife, and the fourth wife outside the door all squeezed in, just kidding, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, how many years have the eldest aunt and grandmother been married, and they still came to the palace to take advantage, when they are all dead, besides, the two of them have coaxed things back from the old lady, and now they are coming to coax the princess of the county to come, do you want to be cheeky?
The eldest lady smiled when she entered the door, "Look at what the two aunts and grandmothers said, you are famous, and you are famous for taking care of the inner courtyard, and you also come to Yue'er and Zhiwan to cry poor, so a few of us who are aunts still have to cry to death?" ”
Although she has never heard of what a coal mine is, but there is no one who does not make money if it is related to the word mine, gold mine, silver mine, iron mine, salt mine, are all a million profits, all say that the mountain eats the mountain, the water draft, some of the mountain eats pickled vegetable steamed buns, some of the mountain eats bird's nest abalone, referring to the mountain with the mine, the county prince has played small to large, he has never seen him suffer, the mine he grabbed back, can be poor, gold and silver mines he didn't want to rob it!
The fourth wife answered, "Sister-in-law is right, I am also interested in the coal mine, Yue'er, you grew up with the fourth aunt, and the fourth aunt has never begged you for anything else. ”
Zhiwan sat there, her eyelids jumped, the five ladies had to divide the coal mine, and the princess, Zhiwan didn't believe that she would stand by and watch, she had already given twenty percent to Yuan Hao and Chu Pei, the remaining three percent of the six of them, she and Ye Guiyue made wedding clothes for them?
This kind of thing, Zhiwan won't do it, but if you don't agree, the news that Yuan Hao and Chu Pei hold a hundred percent of the shares spreads, and they still have to count their elbows and turn out, and the words have to be made clear first, "A few aunts and aunts came too late, before you came, the eldest young master of the Yuan Mansion and the eldest young master of the Chu Mansion came to find the master, and asked for two percent of the shares, and the emperor originally divided half of it, and I and the Xianggong only had three percent, and several aunts and aunts wanted to share, how much do you say is appropriate?" ”
The needle drop in the room was instantly heard, Jiang Xinhou didn't expect that someone would come before him, and he didn't expect Ye Guiyue to be so generous, one was twenty percent, and the remaining thirty percent, how could they divide so many people?
At least Zhiwan and Ye Guiyue should also account for one or two percent, right? What people have worked so hard to snatch back, you don't want it, you give it all to others, it's stupid!
Zhiwan also knew that these people were not easy to offend, so he thought about it, and after taking out the half that was given to the emperor, the rest was made into ten percent, Yuan Hao and Chu Pei accounted for thirty percent, and the one percent was considered to compensate them, and the remaining seventy percent, they accounted for forty percent, and the remaining thirty percent were divided equally by them.
Basically, the two of them are divided into one percent, although they are a little dissatisfied, they can be regarded as half of them, Princess Huai asked, "How to buy shares?" ”
"Five thousand taels per person."
Zhiwan said simply, the smile on Princess Huai's face stiffened at that time, and the faces of the rest of the people in the room were a little ugly, sure enough, she was the first village girl, asking for money and not dying, five thousand taels of silver, those black coal mines could all be bought, but now they only account for half of it, to be precise, half of half of it, who is comfortable?
