These made the lord of Yujie very grateful to the emperor and the queen mother, and the people in the entire clan also wondered why the queen mother and the emperor had a soft spot for this family.

After all, few people knew about the warning back then.

The Queen Mother suspected that Princess Zhilan died suddenly, which was related to her warning to herself, and that person still can't find out who it is, which shows that his means are superb, and he can poison the Queen Mother quietly, and it is not a piece of cake to harm Princess Zhilan?

The Queen Mother has never talked about these, and only arranged a few henchmen to investigate the matter in the palace.

Now, more than thirteen years later, she hardly hopes to know the truth.

Let's talk about the county lord Yujie taking her husband and stepdaughter back to her parents' house. Wen Jin came to this world, the master's uncle had never seen it, but he saw two uncles who turned the corner, one Wei Chenglan, although he was just an ordinary peasant who could no longer be ordinary, but he stood up to the sky and dared to act, and the other was the younger brother of his stepmother, a weak person, no matter what position was awarded, he couldn't change his essence, the queen mother helped clean up a few slaves in the family, and this general Wu Luo now has a new fear - wife.

The people of the entire clan know that this Chen Guisheng is afraid of the inside, and no one takes him seriously on weekdays, even if he goes to get Lu rice, he is also inferior to others, his wife first nagged, and then abused, and General Wu Luo often hid in the study outside.

Wen Jin didn't know how to face such an uncle, but for the sake of the face of the county lord of Yujie, he had to go through this experience.

In Wen Jin's mind, such a sloppy General Wu Luo must be an extremely sloppy person, who knows, but this is not the case.

Hearing that his sister's family was coming, General Wu Luo was still very happy to greet him at the gate, he was wearing a big blue wool cloak, wearing a lynx fur hat of the same color, he was not tall, his eyes were big, and he rubbed his hands a little crampedly and greeted Qian Xiancong, and he looked good.

General Wu Luo accompanied his sister's family and walked to the second gate, Princess Zhilan was covered by the Queen Mother, and the specifications of the princess's mansion were very good.

The general's wife greeted her at the second gate, and the county lord of Yujie led Wen Jin to salute her, this Mrs. Qiao was very enthusiastic, holding Wen Jin's hand, just like a niece, and left the county lord of Yujie aside, Wen Jin only felt goosebumps falling straight down her body, and it was easy to break free of the hand that was tightly held.

Wen Jin's hands covered a fine layer of sweat, and it was very uncomfortable.

A pair of children of General Wu Liu, all of whom are introverted and do not like to talk, were forcibly pulled by their mothers to come to people, and nervously saluted to the lord of Yujie, who hung a pearl and agate ring on the necks of the two children, and in the middle was a long-lived hundred-year-old gold lock plate.

Mrs. Qiao Jun was very dissatisfied, and pouted slightly: "I went to the house to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother yesterday, but the mother disappeared in a blink of an eye, and I still have something to say to you." ”

"I'm not going to see you again today, just say what you have to say."

Mrs. Qiao's eyes turned to Wen Jin, but she didn't speak, Wen Jin saw the little boy playing on the side, holding a small windmill made of bamboo, which was very delicate, so she walked over and picked up the child, and went to the west side of the warm pavilion: "Brother Jing'er, who bought this for you?" ”

Jing'er was very well-behaved, and she didn't struggle, but she was a little timid, and whispered: "This is what Daddy did." ”

Wen Jin took it over and looked at it carefully, the craftsmanship of this general Wu Luo was not ordinarily good: "Oh, it's so beautiful, who did your father learn from?" ”

The general's daughter Jiaojiao is slightly older, although she is also timid, but she is better than her younger brother, she is probably used to taking care of her younger brother, she followed closely behind Wen Jin, and said when she heard the words: "My father didn't learn from anyone, he will do a lot." ”

"What else?" Wen Jin put down Jing'er and asked with a smile.

Jing'er and Jiaojiao seemed to be very proud, the two ran to the corner of the room, opened a red lacquered box, Wen Jin walked over, it was full of small toys, bamboo knives, small swords, wooden windmills, waterwheels, and even a stone-throwing car.

Wen Jin picked it up one by one and looked at it carefully, and her heart was quite shocked.

General Wu Luo is a genius mechanic, but unfortunately, he can't perform, and no one pays attention to this, craftsmen, even if they are at the master level, give a six-grade in the Ministry of Industry, which is already the highest grade.

Wen Jin took the two children and played with the toys in the box one by one, and the little maid Suqiu came over and called her: "Niangniang let you pass." ”

"Okay." Wen Jin agreed, and put away all the toys with the child.

The atmosphere in the warm pavilion was a little stiff, Mrs. Qiao did not hide her dissatisfaction at all, but the county lord of Yujie ignored her, and talked to Wen Jin with a pleasant face: "What are you doing outside?" Cold or not? ”

"Playing with toys with my little cousin and cousin, my uncle has very good craftsmanship and the toys are very exquisite."

"Hehe, your uncle's nurse man is a carpenter, and he has been playing with these things since he was a child." Lord Yujie said with a smile.

"Uncle, the waterwheel and the rock-throwing cart were also made by you according to the toys you used when you were a child?" Wen Jin asked.

"No, when I was a child, I went to the barracks with my father, and I saw that the used ones were broken, and the craftsmen were repairing them.

"Uncle is so smart."

"Hey, hey, hey" It's probably the first time for General Wu Luo to hear someone praise him like this, and shyness wells up on his face, but he smiles happily.

"Ouch, my niece is really good at talking, your uncle is so smart, but it's useless in a serious place, how can he compare to you, who is making money every day." Mrs. Joe said sourly.

"The general is an official of the imperial court, and he is also a disciple of the clan of the golden branches and jade leaves, and he has a salary every month, so there is no need to get into the smell of copper." Wen Jin was humble, but Mrs. Qiao almost jumped up as if she had been trampled on a sore foot.

The county lord of Yujie was very happy, and then Wen Jin's words said: "Jin'er is still reasonable, your uncle has a royal offering, and he has no worries about food and clothing, he should live happily, there is no need to compete with the people." ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Qiao to pick up, the county lord of Yujie continued: "Your father's Fengyin in our family is limited, so I have to let you worry about it, Jin'er has worked hard. She was told at both ends, and Mrs. Qiao was so angry that she twisted the veil hard, but she couldn't refute it.

Wen Jin smiled and said to Lord Yujie: "Jin'er is not tired. ”

Lord Yujie turned his eyes to his younger brother: "It's time to start the banquet, right?" ”

"Oh, good!" General Wu Luo quickly stood up and went to the outside to give an order.

The county lord of Yujie only has two sisters and brothers, and there are no relatives at home, so everyone simply sits at a table. Mrs. Qiao cheered up, and warmed up with Wen Jin again, and kept picking up vegetables during the banquet, making Wen Jin very uncomfortable - she gave Wen Jin more fat slices, and Wen Jin didn't eat these at all.

Wen Jin didn't force herself, let the small plate in front of her be full, and she didn't move, and Mrs. Qiao finally stopped in a sneer: "Miss Jin'er, you run a restaurant, big fish and big meat are not rare." ”

"Huh."

"Miss Jin'er, you say, is this hotel easy to open?" Mrs. Qiao waited expectantly for Wen Jin to speak.

If it is easy to say, she will ask Wen Jin to open one on her behalf, if it is difficult, she will complain that her family is difficult, and let Wen Jin help her open one, Yujie County Lord glared at Wen Jin: "Food is silent, where are the rules learned?" ”

Mrs. Qiao was so choked that she couldn't speak, lowered her head, grinded her teeth hatefully, and then began to complain about how the man was incapable and how she made her family lose face.

"Mrs. Qiao, Jing'er and his uncle must be making money every day, so it is better to let Guisheng ask for advice, so that the family can make money and you will have face." Chen Guisheng is the name of General Wu Liu.

Mrs. Qiao was choked speechless, and after a while, she said indignantly: "If you marry low and marry high, don't you expect the girl to help her mother's family, how can there be a mother's family to make up for the girl?" ”

"No wonder your family is so embarrassed, I'll just say, my brother has a lot of money." The county lord of Yujie said angrily.

Mrs. Qiao found out that she had filled in the hole, the meaning of the county lord of Yujie, she gave all the money earned by the man to her mother's family, and now she wants to hug her eldest sister's house.

Mrs. Qiao has added a lot to her mother's family, the man doesn't say a word on weekdays, and the county lord of Yujie has never accused, she has already felt at ease, thinking that this is a matter of course, but she didn't expect to be stabbed fiercely today, and she was clumsy for a while, and she had nothing to say.

After eating, the county lord of Yujie said goodbye and left, looking indignant along the way, Qian Xiancong wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to talk about it.

After entering the house, Qian Xiancong stayed in the outer courtyard, and Wen Jin walked forward with the county lord of Yujie.

"Your uncle is doing really poorly." Lord Yujie sighed.

"Hehe, the county lord's mother, I don't see my uncle being unhappy, he likes handicrafts, and he immerses himself in his own world every day, no matter how much my aunt nags, he can't touch him."

"Hmph, your aunt ......"

"My aunt complains about this, complains about that, and keeps trying to calculate others, so she is pitiful."

"Oh, yes!" The county lord was happy again.

"It's better to find something to do for your uncle, so that he doesn't stay at home all day, otherwise, no matter how good a man is, he will be abolished."

"But what can your uncle do?"

"My uncle likes crafts, so it's better to let him go to the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of War to do something to promote windmills and waterwheels or develop ordnance, those jobs are boring and unproductive in the eyes of others, but my uncle is like a fish in water, the most suitable."

"Well, it makes sense, it's still Jin'er, your heart, can see this. Tomorrow, I'll ask your uncle to come under the pretext that the hotel is going to install a fan. ”

"Fan?"

"Well, your uncle will install a chain fan. In the summer, send someone to step on it, and people in several rooms can enjoy the shade. ”

"And this good thing?" Wen Jin clapped his hands, "I'm still worried, it's hot in the summer in the capital, I don't know how to arrange the hotel, the box has this disadvantage, it's not as good as the ventilation of the hall, it's too stuffy in summer." "Wen Jin has already taken countermeasures, but at this time, he is just deliberately giving Yujie County Lord a step.

Lord Yujie was really happy: "Leave it to your uncle." ”

The county lord of Yujie is urgent, once the matter is decided, it will be carried out immediately, she entered the hall, and before a quarter of an hour passed, she asked people to go to her mother's house to spread the word.

General Wu Luo came the next afternoon, carrying a small wooden box in his hand, and when Wen Jin arrived in the living room, he was squatting on the ground, showing his sister the model he had made.

General Wu Luo's design concept is also very simple, that is, outside the hotel box, set up a bamboo pole, and then the fan in each room is connected to the bamboo pole outside with a belt, and then let the two subordinates use their feet to transmit power, first let the bamboo pole rotate, and then through the belt drive, let the fan in the house rotate.

In an era when there was no electricity, this design was already scientific.

"Uncle, you're amazing."

General Wu Luo's face turned red, and he said, "I thought about it all night last night before I figured out such a solution. I also thought, you can't have one person in a room to shake the fan, right? You open a restaurant, don't you have a lot of people? After all the salaries, the niece has no money to earn. ”

"Oh, my uncle is so smart, and he knows how to save labor costs."

"Your uncle just doesn't like to talk, and his heart is clear."

The county lord of Yujie turned out to be quite short-sighted, in her eyes, her younger brother was almost perfect, Wen Jin grinned, and nodded again and again along with her words: "It's not." ”

"Guisheng, my sister thinks, you better find an errand to do, otherwise, it won't be a problem to stay at home every day."

"But I, I, the Ministry of War said, I am at home at ease, and I don't have to go to the house."

It turned out that this idiot didn't understand that this general Wu Luo was a false position, and he didn't have to work just to get money, he really went to the military department and was blocked back.

"Sister is trying to find someone to see if I can place you in the ordnance station of the Ministry of War, we can't take the emperor's food and do nothing, isn't this a good heart of the queen mother and the emperor?"

"Yes, yes, sister, that's the reason."

Wen Jin doesn't know if this nerd will learn to be obedient after getting along with people for a long time, and he is really worried that such a "pure" person will be plotted against if he goes to the military department.

Hopefully, the name of his royal bloodline will make those people open up to him.

I also hope that this uncle can be trained and grow his talents.

Qian Xiancong met many generals and staff members in Western Xinjiang, and Prince Ren's squad returned to the court, and some of the people he brought back were arranged to be sent to the military department.

At that time, the Liu family was overthrown, and there were many officials who followed the downfall, and there were empty spaces everywhere, and it was just enough for the emperor to reward the soldiers who fought with him bloodily.

General Wu Luo is a six-rank official, what he wants to go to the Ordnance Bureau to make a real shortage, it is not difficult, not to mention the kind of real shortage of cold stoves, no one wants to go, people who work there, except for a few who are intoxicated with this, are almost trying to find a way to leave, change to a quiet or oily position, therefore, during the Chinese New Year, Qian Xiancong and his old friends who went to the military department talked about it, and several people patted their chests and promised that when the seal was opened after the New Year, General Wu Luo would immediately take office.

Lord Yujie was very happy, and she really hoped that her brother would be happy.

Wen Jin saw from this incident that the county lord of Yujie was not a greedy person, not only was he not greedy, but he was still very clear-headed, he knew what his younger brother was, and he could really understand what a happy life was.

It's not power that can bring everything, and someone, even if power has to be arched into his hands, it can only bring him more bad luck.

This noble uncle of the Chen family is not a person who can play with power, and that Mrs. Qiao can't even see the bowl of rice that her man should eat, and she deserves to be unhappy all day long.

Wen Jin's restaurant, opened for two months, and earned a thousand taels of silver, some people envy, some people disdain, Qian Jun learned that he was very happy for Wen Jin, he hadn't seen Wen Jin for a long time, so he pouted Wen Han: "Your restaurant has made a lot of money, why don't you have a meal and celebrate?" ”

Wen Han didn't turn the corner, with a bitter face: "The hotel is all taken care of by Wen Jin, what should I do to celebrate?" Then he saw his friend's sly eyes, slapped him, nodded and said, "I'll give it a try, don't get your hopes up." ”

"Whether it can be done or not, I thank you for this thought." Qian Jun is sincere.

"Alas!" Wen Han sighed, he didn't see much hope about Qian Jun and Wen Jin, he was very worried about them, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly.

How could Qian Jun not know his friend's thoughts? Although he had the perseverance and confidence, the resistance to this matter was so great that he could not pat his chest in front of his friends, and he could only fight for it with all his might.

Wen Han returned home and pouted his wife Yanran: "You haven't been out since you arrived in the capital, why don't you take advantage of the fact that there is no one in the hotel during the Chinese New Year?" ”

Yan Ran raised her eyebrows: "Okay?" It won't cause any trouble for Jin'er, right? ”

"No!"

Yan Ran was a little fascinated: "Jin'er is so capable, she can do whatever she says, what is the hotel that earns a few hundred taels of silver a month like, I really want to go and see." ”

"Then we'll call my mother and the county lord of Yujie, okay?"

"But, aren't the cooks and the runners going on vacation?"

"After the year, there is a cook from other places on duty, he can't go back, Wen Jin gave him a double salary, this one is enough for us to cook a family banquet, besides, I can also bring our chef to do it."

"Well, yes, yes." Yanran felt that the man was right, and nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

After explaining his wife, Wen Han went to find Wen Jin.

"Brother, you mean, let's go out to dinner together?"

"yes!" Seeing Wen Jin smiling, Wen Han felt a lot more settled.

"Brother, what day is good?" Wen Jin was elated, although she went to her own restaurant, it was completely different from the feeling of eating at home, besides, she also hoped that the county lord of Yujie and the second aunt could see the fruits of her labor.

"Whatever day you think is appropriate, let's do it."

"We don't have any relatives in our family, and there are few who are particularly close to the county lord's mother, so we might as well go as soon as possible." Wen Jin thought about it for a moment, "Tomorrow is a little rushed, the day after tomorrow." "Yes, yes! I'm going to talk to our family. Wen Han left happily, and after a while, Sun Yanping went out through the side door and trotted up to Prince Ren's mansion.
