Chapter 245: Meet
Today, Song Yuanbao jokingly said that he would marry his daughter-in-law twice, and Song Yinbao wanted to cover his face.
"Yuanbao, in the future, you can't just say anything about marrying a daughter-in-law, otherwise if someone hears it, they will say that we don't have a tutor, and they will also say that our mother didn't teach us well." Although Song Yinbao blushed, he still held his brother's style, a serious way.
"I'm just talking about it at home, and I won't let outsiders hear it." Song Yuanbao said with a smile: "My mother said that men should marry women when they are married, this is common sense, there is nothing to be unseemly." ”
"Stinky boy, you remember that well." Song Yao smiled, and when she saw the two children holding wine glasses, she said, "Your filial piety, my mother has received it." Come, let's all take a sip, eat something to cushion the stomach first, and drink this wine slowly to taste. ”
"Mother, what about our New Year's money? How much is this year? Song Yuanbao looked like a fan of wealth.
"Let's see how you perform." Song Yao refused to confess.
If he doesn't hang on to this little guy's appetite, he won't stop.
After taking a sip of fruit wine, the family of three sat down to eat, sandwiched each other's favorite dishes, and occasionally said a few words, which was very warm.
When Helian Sheng came over, he saw such a scene.
Song Yao is still dressed elegantly, but in front of the child, she is really gentle like water.
Song Yao accepted Song Yinbao as a righteous son, Helian Sheng was aware, thinking of another stinky boy competing with himself for Song Yao's love, Helian Sheng was a little displeased.
However, Helian Sheng didn't dare to do anything that made Song Yao unhappy, so he wouldn't say anything.
"It's not too late, the dishes are not cold, it seems that I have a good day today." He Liansheng came to the dining table and sat opposite Song Yao.
Although he missed Song Yao very much, he had no intention of squeezing out the two children.
Song Yuanbao pouted, saw Helian Sheng coming over empty-handed, and hummed: "I don't know how to bring some gifts when I come to eat, doesn't Uncle Meiren'er know that today is a young year?" ”
Song Yinbao glanced at He Liansheng with complicated eyes and did not speak.
Helian Sheng is a frequent visitor to the Song family, and the relationship between him and Song Yao will marry sooner or later.
Song Yinbao likes his current life very much, and he loves his stepmother very much, but he ...... to Helian Sheng
"The gift was prepared, but it was handed over to the porter." Helian Sheng didn't say anything at all.
Helian Sheng was in a hurry to come over, where did he have time to prepare gifts?
The relationship with Song Yao was not made public, and Helian Sheng couldn't let the Rui Wangfu send things over openly.
However, Helian Sheng said this, the secret guard will prepare for it, and it is not a lie.
"I heard that Yaoyao accepted her righteous son, and I, the quasi-father-in-law, want to give a heavy meeting gift." Helian Sheng said loudly.
Song Yinbao stood up and saluted, and said in a formal manner: "Thank you...... Uncle Lian. ”
"Uncle Beauty, what about my share? You can't let me down. Song Yinbao squinted his eyes and smiled evilly.
"It's your share." Helian Sheng died.
I thought I could get along with Song Yao alone, but I forgot that there was such a difficult one, and I didn't want to do it without bleeding once.
Song Yao glanced at Helian Sheng clearly, knowing that he must have not prepared anything, and he would not dismantle it.
"Okay, let's eat first, and it's not too late to go and see the gifts after eating." Song Yao intended to buy some time for Helian Sheng, so as not to listen to Song Yuanbao this afternoon.
"Yaoyao is right, eat first." Helian Sheng winked at Song Yao and followed her words.
Song Yuanbao is a foodie, and the gift can't run there, so he is not in a hurry to see it.
As for whether Heliansheng really brought a gift, Song Yuanbao didn't care about it, Heliansheng said it to this, and he was not afraid that he would break his promise.
Song Yinbao took care of Song Yuanbao as always, occasionally saying a few words.
After lunch, Song Yuanbao dragged Song Yinbao to see the gifts, giving the two of them time to get along in disguise.
Although his wife didn't say anything, the word acacia was engraved on her face, and Song Yuanbao couldn't see it.
Without the two little guys in the way, Helian Sheng sat down beside Song Yao, raised his wine glass and said, "This wine tastes good, it is very suitable for women to drink." It's a pity that the amount is too small, otherwise you will definitely make a lot of money. ”
"Next year I'm going to make more and some other flavors of fruit wine. When the time comes, I will have an auction and I will not be in the wine business in the future if I don't sell it at a sky-high price. Song Yao was very confident in the fruit wine, shook the wine glass and said, "What's the matter, this goblet is not bad, right?" ”
"Well, it's much better for wine than those gold, silver and jade." Helian Sheng nodded.
"I'm wondering what price this goblet will sell for when the wine is launched." Song Yao was most interested in earning silver, looking at the red wine glass in his hand, there was no difference between looking at gold and silver.
"Five-fold the price." He Liansheng hesitated for a moment, and then gave Song Yao a suggestion, "Bundling sales, even ten times the profit, is okay." ”
"Those who know me, even Shengye." Song Yao laughed, tilted her head, collided with Helian Sheng's wine glass, and said happily: "Let's cooperate, I will produce fruit wine, you help me sell it at a good price, and I will give you a profit of thirty percent." ”
"One percent is fine." Helian Sheng is not greedy.
Rare things are naturally expensive, and a net profit of one percent is also a lot of income.
What's more, Song Yao likes silver so much, Helian Sheng will not compete with his own women for benefits.
"Okay." Song Yao raised her glass, "I wish us a happy cooperation." ”
"It's a pleasure to work with." He Liansheng also raised his glass and tasted the fragrance of fruit wine with Song Yao.
He Liansheng did not ask about the specifics of cooperation, nor did he ask whether it would be long-term cooperation, as long as Song Yao was happy.
"I heard that the Imperial Merchants are of high grade?" Song Yao suddenly asked.
"Well, the imperial merchant has the official title of a foreigner, but he has no real power, but he is also out of business." Helian Sheng looked at Song Yao's jade little face and asked, "Yaoyao wants to be an imperial businessman?" ”
"yes." Song Yao nodded, "The ingots have grown up, and now they have silver treasures." They can't go to private schools all the time, and the circle of contact is too narrow. If I can become an imperial merchant, they will be able to go to government school, and the path they will choose in the future will be wider. ”
Song Yao doesn't look down on merchants, let alone farmers, after all, she is now sitting on the business of farmers as farmers.
But if the children want to enter the court as officials in the future, this status will add a little trouble to them.
Shinong Industry and Commerce, the ancient class level, made Song Yao very helpless, and could only find a way to change himself, unable to change this dynasty.
"I'll take care of that." Helian Sheng sat down and thought about it for a while, and then he had an idea in his heart.
Today's Song Ji has its own characteristics, and there are many things in the palace that use Song Ji.
But no one recommended him, no matter how good Song Ji is, it is not easy to be an imperial businessman.
But if Helian Sheng intervenes, it will be easy for Song Yao to become an imperial businessman.
"If you can really do it, I will thank you again." Song Yao blinked, and her tone was quite ambiguous.
As for how Song Yao planned to reward herself, only she knew it.
Helian Sheng was looking forward to it, thinking that it was about to be the end of the year, so he smiled and said: "Before the end of the year, Yaoyao will definitely come true, I am waiting for Yaoyao's thank you." ”
"So fast?" Song Yao was stunned for a moment, thinking of Helian Sheng's identity, and felt that he was making a fuss, so he said, "Don't talk about this today, you can go out for a walk with me." It's rare that the sun is abundant today, and I want to breathe. ”
Today is Xiao Nian, and Song Yao knew that Helian Sheng would not stay for long, so she wanted to spend more time with him.
"Gladly." Helian Sheng got up, stretched out his white but broad palm, and invited Song Yao.
With a smile, he handed his hand to Helian Sheng, and Song Yao got up with him.
Ben didn't have a destination, so he walked around the yard casually, with the temperature from Helian Sheng's palm, and he didn't feel cold in such a cold winter weather.
After an hour of unconsciously walking, Song Yao's nose was red from the cold, and then she spoke: "Let's go to the study and have a cup of tea." ”
"Okay." Helian Sheng didn't say much today, just quietly by Song Yao's side.
The two strolled to the study and saw a stack of account books on the table, and Helian Sheng didn't ask much.
Now Song Yao's business is getting bigger and bigger, and it is normal to have many books.
"There have only been a few snows this year, and they are all light snow, and it is just such a moderate snow, which is not as good as in previous years, and I am afraid that it will be dry at the beginning of spring." After Song Yao sat down, she sighed lightly.
The worst thing in ancient times was that productivity was low, everything had to be done manually, and there were not many fields to be planted.
There are many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people depend on the weather for food, and the yield of crops is not high.
Even if you work hard to open some fields, you can't afford a natural disaster, and you are forced to sell food at a low price because of your livelihood, and you will be poor and white again.
But even if Song Yao has a heart, she can't help everyone, the only thing she can do is not let the people who follow her suffer.
Helian Sheng frowned, although he cared about people's livelihood, he didn't know much about these things.
And in the past six months, I have been tossed by Concubine Duangui, and I have not paid attention to this problem.
Listening to Song Yao say this at this moment, I am also worried about next year's New Year.
"You also know that I have made a fortune for a short time, and most of the fields and Zhuangzi in my hands have only been settled this year, even if the grain is not sold, it can only solve the urgent need."
Song Yao looked at He Liansheng and said softly:
"Before coming to the capital, I had asked people from all over the country to buy grain, because I didn't want to disturb the people, so the price was not higher than the market, and if there was a real disaster, it would be able to delay the people for a year. But I'm afraid that the drought will last more than a year, and then I will really be powerless. ”
He Liansheng held Song Yao's hand, looking at the worried emotions reflected in her clear eyes, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
As a member of the royal family, Helian Sheng is also worried about the country and the people.
But Helian Sheng's identity does not allow him to do too much, otherwise the one on the dragon chair will be even more uneasy.
Unless Helian Sheng replaces him, civil strife will bring more disasters.
But what Helian Sheng feared most was the turmoil caused by the disaster, and those countries that coveted the fertile land of the Great Zhou State might take the opportunity to send troops.
Although the national treasury is sufficient now, it needs to provide relief for the disaster, and after the disaster, it will have to reduce all kinds of taxes, and next year it will definitely be beyond its means.
At that time, there will be a shortage of food and grass, how can the front-line soldiers fight to kill the enemy?
"You are the heart of a bodhisattva." Helian Sheng thought about it for a while, and he had already thought about a lot of questions, but he didn't want Song Yao to worry, so he didn't show it, "Yaoyao, fortunately, I had the foresight to settle you, otherwise wouldn't it be cheaper for others!" ”
"If you know, it's good." Song Yao chuckled.
Seeing that Helian Sheng didn't continue this topic, Song Yao didn't talk about food anymore, after all, Helian Sheng never said his identity, so she continued to pretend that she didn't know.
"I had a lot of deep wells drilled, and I had an emergency. I hope I've thought too much, but I'll need it sooner or later. Leaning on Helian Sheng's arms, Song Yao said softly.
