Chapter 496: Fame and fortune are a big plan to make money
Temporarily solved Nangong Wan'er, but Luo Qingluan still thought about another thing that Su Yi was worried about, that is, the Weiyang Marquis Mansion.
Mrs. Su seems to have long hair and short knowledge, although she does feel sorry for her daughter, but she is also greedy. This kind of character, once Nangong Wan'er catches the handle, she will be subject to her for the rest of her life. Even if you want to turn over in the future, it will be difficult, and maybe you will drag Su Yi into the water.
Thinking of Su Yi's dedication to her, Luo Qingluan couldn't care less.
Since Mrs. Su is greedy for Nangong Wan'er's money, then she can target this point, do what she likes, and win her over. There are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests, as long as Luo Qingluan can come up with enough benefits, she can definitely tie up Mrs. Su and stay away from Nangong Wan'er completely.
Of course, all this is for Su Yi's sake, otherwise, she wouldn't be so troublesome.
For making money, Luo Qingluan is the most interested, and silver is indispensable to fighting on the night front line in Nalan, and this battle is definitely very difficult. Although the military salary has been prepared, it is definitely the more the merrier, if possible, Luo Qingluan hopes to save more silver to fund Nalan Night.
Although she can't go, she will also use her own strength to help Nalan Ye.
"Xu Wei, you go and find out what industries are under the name of the Marquis of Weiyang, how many years have you been in business, the shopkeeper and the guy have all found out, hurry up and tell me."
Xu Wei naturally wants to make money, since Luo Qingluan is willing to help him, he is also willing to work hard, so it should be better to take on one more task. In order to marry Xu Lian as soon as possible, he is not afraid of no matter how hard he works.
"Princess, I know, don't worry, I will find out within three days." Xu Wei's gaze was resolute.
Luo Qingluan not only sent Xu Wei out to inquire, but also prepared to go into the palace to ask Su Yi, after all, Su Yi is from the Marquis of Weiyang's Mansion, and he doesn't care about the family business, but it should be more or less clear. What's more, this plan is aimed at her mother, Mrs. Su, so naturally she has to learn some of her mother's habits and habits from Su Yi, and inform Su Yi by the way.
As soon as she heard that Luo Qingluan was going to enter the palace again, Dai Yue chattered again, and finally Luo Qingluan agreed to take her out, and promised to just go to talk to the queen, and definitely not do anything that consumed energy, so her face was a little better.
Halfway through, Luo Qingluan sat in the carriage and teased Dai Yue: "Look, Xu Lian is going to get married, Dai Yue, although you are only fifteen, I found that you are becoming more and more like Mama Song, not only worried but also nagging." ”
"People don't care about Miss yet." Dai Yue raised her mouth, and then sighed: "Alas...... I don't know if Mama Song is doing well now. ”
The expression was a little dazed, Luo Qingluan couldn't help but think of the nurse, although she had passed away, Luo Qingluan was afraid that Daiyue would be sad, and never told her the cause of Mama Song's death. Anyway, I can't see it anymore, so don't let her be sad anymore, just know it yourself.
The carriage drove smoothly, and since Luo Qingluan was pregnant, the carriage was also very slow, so as not to bump on the road. The journey went smoothly, and soon entered the palace, and the palace people had already been instructed, knowing that the queen mother was pregnant, and Princess Chu might come to give her a baby at any time, so she quickly invited her in.
Seeing Luo Qingluan coming again, Su Yi was very happy. Since she knew that she was pregnant, Nangong Qing was afraid that she would be sick, bumping into her, all kinds of worries, almost not letting her out of the palace, she was bored and uncomfortable, when she saw Luo Qingluan coming, Su Yi finally found an excuse and went out with her and walked around the courtyard.
"Your Majesty is just too worried, I said it's okay, he just doesn't worry." Su Yi gently stroked her lower abdomen, which was still very flat, with a maternal glow on her face. It is said that women have completely changed before and after becoming mothers, and Su Yi is even more obvious.
In the past, she was soft and gentle, and she spoke softly, and she smiled when she saw anyone, and she couldn't see her temper at all. It's not bad, it's just that it doesn't matter when she's a girl, but when she becomes a queen, she lacks a majesty that intimidates everyone.
Today's Su Yi, although she can't be said to be a mother, has changed her personality slightly.
Listening to her tirelessly talk about her daily life in the past few days, the palace maid asked her to rest more, and she would refuse or agree according to her mental state. Even if Nangong Qing or the Queen Mother want her to lie down to protect the fetus all day long, Su Yi will express her thoughts, combined with Luo Qingluan's advice, and boldly express her opinions, instead of being submissive.
When Su Yi's child is born, maybe she will become braver, right?
"I don't know if this baby is pregnant with a boy or a girl, if it's a little prince, it's good." Su Yi smiled slightly, lowered her head and stroked her lower abdomen.
"What, did Your Majesty say you want a little prince?" Luo Qingluan teased her.
"Your Majesty didn't, he said for the first time, whether it was a princess or a prince, he liked it." Su Yi pursed her lips, and her voice was a little lower: "I think that the Queen Mother should want a little prince, and if my baby is a boy, the Queen Mother will be happy." ”
Harem concubines, up to the queen, down to the last to pick girls, etc., once they are pregnant with a dragon heir, they all hope to be a prince. Although Su Yi felt that the boys and girls she gave birth to were good, she still hoped that everyone would be happy because of the Queen Mother.
Luo Qingluan thought for a while and asked her tentatively, "That'...... Do you want to wait for a few months, when the child is older, and I will give you a pulse to confirm whether it is a man or a woman? Lest you hope for greater disappointment and disappointment? ”
The princess she gave birth to is still a prince, and Su Yi likes it all the same, but she also hopes that her first child will be a little prince. Hearing this, her eyes lit up: "Qingluan, is it really okay?" ”
She had already secretly asked Imperial Physician Hu who had arranged for Nangong Qing to be given to her, wanting to confirm whether she could confirm male and female before she was born, Imperial Physician Hu was not as sure as Luo Qingluan at all, and only said that the pulse could be roughly seen, but there was no absolute.
After listening to Luo Qingluan's question, Su Yi felt her self-confidence, and couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope.
"Of course, if you want, then I'll confirm it for you after March." Luo Qingluan said with a smile.
As for herself, she never intended to determine whether she was pregnant with a man or a woman. She doesn't have this kind of patriarchal thinking, and Nalan Ye is not an emperor, so there is no need to be in such a hurry to ask for a son to inherit the title. From Nalan Ye's reply, she could feel that as long as she was born, Nalan Ye was like a jewel, how could she dislike it?
Otherwise, Nalan Ye will dare to dislike it, see if she doesn't teach him a hard lesson, and then take the child far away, so that he will not be able to find it for the rest of his life.
Luo Qingluan chatted with Su Yi for a while before mentioning the industry of the Marquis of Weiyang.
She first told Su Yi about finding out that Mrs. Su had secretly accepted Nangong Wan'er's benefits, Su Yi's face changed when she heard it, but she was not too surprised, it seemed that she had long been suspicious. After a pause, she frowned, and said helplessly after a while: "Alas, Qingluan, I can't say anything about my mother, she is not actually greedy for money, just because my father ......"
Su Yi's father, Luo Qingluan is almost not very familiar with it, and the entire Weiyanghou Mansion was supported by her grandfather Weiyanghou before. I have never seen it at the usual banquets, only on the day Su Yi was erected, Luo Qingluan glanced at him, but forgot about it in a blink of an eye.
"My father was not in Beijing, and he was exiled for four or five years, although he was the Taishou of Fengyang County, but because he was too far away from Beijing, and he was afraid of being accused of the dictatorship of his relatives, although I was the queen, it was even more difficult to see my father. Although His Majesty offered to transfer him back, he also refused. ”
Su Yi slowly talked about the affairs of the family, it seemed that because there was usually no one to talk about, and Luo Qingluan was familiar and trusted by her, she couldn't close the conversation box as soon as she talked about it.
Su's father's name was Su Jianchang, and he was the Taishou of Fengyang County at the time, but he only mentioned it after Su Yi became the crown princess. After he confirmed that he would not be transferred back to the capital, Mrs. Su complained for a while, her father-in-law Wei Yanghou died, leaving only her and her mother-in-law, both women, and the huge Weiyang Marquis Mansion wanted to take care of it, and the most worrying thing was the silver problem.
The Weiyang Marquis Mansion has a history of more than 100 years, from the first generation of Weiyang Marquis, to the hands of Su's father for four generations. Now that there are only two female housekeepers in the family, and they are also national relatives, it is not so easy to maintain the scenery of the Marquis of Weiyang's mansion. In the past, Wei Yanghou was quite business-minded, and his subordinates also gathered some shopkeepers to take care of things, but since Wei Yanghou's death, although he still has the glory of Su Yi, the crown princess, some talents have been poached.
Mrs. Su and Mrs. Wei Yanghou usually don't have much contact with business, at most they are in charge of the income of the middle government, and it is already a little laborious to manage dozens of subordinate girls, not to mention showing up to take care of business.
"My mother also came to the palace to complain to me a few times, but I don't understand these things, and I can't help them." Su Yi frowned slightly with a hint of annoyance, and she didn't know what to do: "My mother was seduced by the princess, although she was wrong, but I, as a daughter, did not dissuade her, and I was also at fault." Otherwise, I'd better tell my mother again, hoping to persuade her to turn back and not fall into the trap. ”
"Actually, if you want to make Mrs. Su turn back, it's not impossible."
Luo Qingluan finally said the main purpose of today: "As long as Mrs. Su finds a money-making business that she can understand, and the income is high, the money comes quickly, and it is safe, where will she go to Nangong Wan'er to take risks?" ”
"Do you have a way?" Su Yi's eyes lit up, and she dimmed again.
A business that can make money must be fast and safe, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
Luo Qingluan didn't immediately say what it was, and first asked Su Yi about the industry that the Hou Mansion of Weiyang was currently operating. Su Yi thought for a while: "I never interfere in this, but I heard my grandfather say a lot before, and I still know a little." ”
There is a cloth village and a restaurant in the Hou Mansion of Weiyang, and the business was not bad before, but since the two shopkeepers left, it is not as good as before. There are also three other houses, but this is not only not profitable, but also costs people to manage and clean, but it consumes a lot every year.
As for the field production, there are quite a lot of fields, more than 1,000 acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing, and the annual rent is several thousand taels.
For ordinary families, the annual income of 10,000 taels is not bad, but there are dozens of maidens in the Weiyang Hou Mansion alone, not to mention that it is still the queen's maiden family, no matter how much food and clothing can be less, otherwise it will inevitably be underestimated.
Luo Qingluan's mind turned, and he already had a rough plan: "I have a rough prototype now, but I have to go back and think about it, and I'll confirm it for you in two days." Niangniang can tell Mrs. Su about the relationship first, ask her not to associate with the princess again, and tell you when my plan is mature, it is guaranteed to be a good thing for fame and fortune. ”
Su Yi nodded again and again when she heard this: "Qingluan, you help me so much, I really don't know how to thank you." ”
Luo Qingluan smiled: "Don't think about it so much, Niangniang is so good to me, last time the princess asked you to harm me, didn't you do it?" I keep this intention in mind, a little trouble, I am within the scope of my ability, of course to help you solve. ”
When he came back from the palace, Luo Qingluan waited for Xu Wei's news.
