257 Pension money
"Third son, Mr. Xiao is here." Niu Ya stood at the door and said, her eyes were curious to look into the inner room, and when she saw Hua Ronghua's eyes couldn't help but light up, she raised her feet and walked into the house, "Young lady, you can be regarded as awake!" ”
"Get out!" Gong Xichu's face sank, and he glared at Niu Ya angrily, this girl really has to be beaten and beaten, and it is too unruly! How can a master and a mother break into the house when they are making love?
Niu Ya froze in place as if she had been pointed, looked at the male master who was glaring at her in horror, and after being scolded again, she hurriedly turned around and ran out of the door. ”
"Get out!" Gong Xichu felt that he wanted to hit someone again. What kind of girl is this, she actually told the female owner in front of the male master that another man was visiting! Do you feel that your head is not green enough?
Niu Ya ran away in a smoke, and Hua Ronghua pushed Gongxi Chu away and was about to go to the ground.
"What do you want to do?" Gong Xichu held her down and asked angrily: "For the sake of a man, don't you even want children?" ”
Hua Ronghua was stunned for a moment before remembering his physical condition, and said with some worry: "Then what should I do?" You can't let him into the bedroom, can you? ”
Seeing that she still knew how to avoid suspicion, Gong Xichu's face softened slightly, but he was still full of jealousy: "It seems that what you said about marrying someone is true, and a man will come to the door so soon." ”
"What nonsense? Mr. Xiao must have come because there is something on the prince's side, and I don't know what happened to the exhibition after lying down for two days, so let him in! Hua Ronghua's heart is a little bottomless, people just promised to give him six grades, but as soon as he turned around, he was bedridden, and I don't know if he would be angry and withdraw his six-grade money! I don't have a lot of money, but it's barely enough to make ends meet!
Just as she was thinking nonsense here, Gong Xichu said unpleasantly: "I said just now that I couldn't let him enter the bedroom, why did I let him in again at this moment!" ”
"What are you grinding? Aren't you still there? Hurry up and let him in, don't really have anything. Hua Ronghua was a little annoyed, according to her original intention, she should have driven the man in front of her away, but now she has to rely on him, and she is not happy to change anyone!
Fortunately, Gong Xichu didn't continue to embarrass her, turned around and blocked the screen in front of the bed before going out to lure Mr. Xiao in.
Mr. Xiao was very polite, but stood two steps away from the door, and did not go into the house.
"That, Mr. Xiao, sit down. I'm really sorry, my body is not convenient, or I will go and meet you in person. Hua Ronghua said apologetically.
"No need, Xiao came to visit Mrs. Hua on the order of the prince, I don't know if your health is better?" Mr. Xiao stood in place and bowed his hand slightly in the direction of the bed behind the screen.
"The insiders are already much better, and His Royal Highness Prince Lao has bothered to do so." Gong Xichu couldn't help but cut off the words, what do these two mean? Do you talk to yourself there?
Mr. Xiao looked at Gongxi Chu, who was not looking at him with good eyes on the side, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason, and couldn't help but smile a little helplessly, "I just heard that General Gongxi was also there, so I rashly came to the door to pick it up, please forgive me." ”
Hua Ronghua hurriedly said, "It's okay. He asked anxiously: "I wonder what happened to the fair?" I've been sick all of a sudden, haven't I? ”
Mr. Xiao shook his head and glanced at Gongxi Chu, "Didn't General Gongxi tell Madame?" The trade fair was postponed. Seven days later, the army was opened, and the emperor ordered all celebrations to be postponed! ”
Is a trade fair a celebration? Hua Ronghua was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't delay it.
"Xiao came this time, in addition to visiting Mrs. Hua, he also sent a message to Waffle for His Royal Highness the Prince." Mr. Xiao turned a blind eye to Gongxi Chu's angry eyes and continued to smile.
"What?" Hua Ronghua asked nervously, shouldn't the prince not use himself?
Mr. Xiao glanced at Gongxi Chu, pondered for a moment and said, "Originally, the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better, and asked General Gongxi not to publicize it to the outside world!" ”
Gong Xichu gave him an angry look, "I'm not a long-tongued woman!" ”
"Yes, General Gongxi's character is still trustworthy." Mr. Xiao smiled, not angry because of Gong Xichu's attitude, and then continued to say to the screen: "That's the case, some time ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince showed the musket from the Fanbang people to the emperor, and the emperor was very amazed by the power of the musket, and after consulting with His Royal Highness and the ministers, he decided to send someone to Earl Smith's country to learn the technique of building muskets. ”
Hearing this, Gong Xichu's heartbeat accelerated a little, and the musket he got was not returned to him after Yuan Shuai took it away, it was said that it was given to the craftsmen in the barracks to study, but the musket was dismantled to pieces, but it still couldn't be made. If the emperor really sent someone to learn the technology of making guns, then ......
Hua Ronghua paid more attention to another matter, "Since going to sea is just to learn how to make guns, what a waste of opportunities?" Why not do it together with maritime trade? ”
Mr. Xiao smiled, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also thought of this, and in order to prevent other countries from taking the opportunity to learn how to make guns, this trip to sea is covered by cargo transactions." ”
"Then I have to tell His Royal Highness the Prince, the goods selected on the ship must be those Fanbang people like, but porcelain or something should be brought less, that thing takes up space and is easy to break, and maybe it won't be sold for money at that time, and besides, someone who can speak when they send people to sea must be able to speak, right?" Hua Ronghua's heart was slightly relaxed, and it seemed that he didn't have to be laid off for the time being.
"Yes, so the emperor decided to set up a fan affairs hall under the Ministry of Rites, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince concurrently serves as a deacon, and His Royal Highness recommended Mrs. Hua to be the deputy deacon, enjoying the treatment of six grades, in addition to Yulu and Lumi, other subsidies are readily available!"
Hua Ronghua blinked, so this time he is really an official?! The corners of her mouth were unconsciously upturned, if it weren't for her body not allowing it, and if she had to pay attention to her image, she would almost have jumped up. couldn't help but look at Gong Xichu next to her proudly, what's the matter, now she is also the one who serves the iron rice bowl!
And since Mr. Xiao finished speaking, Gongxi Chu has been in a sluggish state, what does this, what does this mean? This woman will also be an official in the same dynasty as herself in the future? His head buzzed as if he had been struck by lightning, and he turned to Mr. Xiao and asked, "Isn't this okay?" How can a woman go to court? ”
Hua Ronghua stopped first, "Hey, what do you mean?" Can't you see me, okay? ”
"No, I ......" Gong Xichu was a little annoyed, wouldn't this woman be on an equal footing with herself if she continued like this? Wouldn't he have even less prestige?
Mr. Xiao smiled and said, "Did General Gongxi forget?" Officials below the fifth rank do not need to go to court, and Mrs. Hua only needs to be responsible for the affairs of the Fanwu Hall, so she does not need to face the saint. ”
"But ......" Gong Xichu opened his mouth, but she had to do these things as a woman?
"Where is the Chamber? What do I need to do? Hua Ronghua hurriedly asked.
"Mrs. Hua doesn't have to do anything now, she just needs to raise a baby at home."
"Raising a baby?" Hua Ronghua was a little confused, could it be that she, the deputy deacon, was only in name, and everything was done by the prince? So what will others think? She subconsciously looked at Gong Xichu next to her, and her face was really stiff.
Mr. Xiao paused, how did he feel that this Gongxi general seemed to be about to eat himself, and then heard Mrs. Hua's hesitant voice, and suddenly came to his senses, they were afraid that they had misunderstood something. Hurriedly explained, "It will take at least three months to build a ship to go to sea, and it will take time to purchase various commodities and recruit manpower, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will send people to do these things, and Madame only needs to train them in a unified manner after the manpower is recruited." ”
It turns out that I just want to be a teacher! Hua Ronghua put his mind at ease and couldn't help but ask again: "What about this exhibition?" ”
"Some of the rules of the exhibition will be formulated by Madame, and Your Highness will send people to do it according to the rules set by Madame." Mr. Xiao looked at Gong Xichu sincerely, "So now Mrs. Hua is really just about raising the baby, and when everything is ready, it is estimated that Mrs. Hua's child will also be born." ”
After listening to this explanation, Gong Xichu's face finally softened slightly, but he still said with a straight face: "She is a woman with a child, and she is finally inconvenient. ”
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, why is it inconvenient? It's very convenient! When Hua Ronghua heard this, he was a little worried that the errand he had just arrived had run away, and he couldn't help glaring at him.
Gongxi Chu is angry, this woman, does she know what the difference between men and women is? In case she really wants to teach people in the future, can she still be all women? Doesn't it all have to be a man, when she messes with different men all day long, outsiders are not sure how to spread it, do you want that little bit of fame?
Mr. Xiao hurriedly took over the conversation, "General Gongxi, rest assured, the location of each lecture is set in the East Palace Tingfeng Tower, and the people who serve on the scene are all internal servants personally selected by His Royal Highness, there is absolutely no problem." ”
Everyone said so, even if Gongxi Chu was not at ease, he couldn't say anything, besides, this representative is the prince, who will listen if he really opposes it? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little frustrated, and arched his hand perfunctorily at Mr. Xiao, "There is Mr. Lao Xiao!" ”
"Well said." Mr. Xiao returned the salute, "The words have arrived, then Xiao will leave first, and Mrs. Hua will take care of her body!" ”
Seeing off Mr. Xiao, as soon as Gongxi Chu came back, he couldn't help but be a little angry when he saw the obviously excited woman, and he was more helpless, so he approached her and persuaded: "Don't patronize the fun, the East Palace also belongs to the imperial city, you must be careful and cautious in doing things there, and you can't offend people, otherwise you may not be able to collide with which nobleman, and then you may not even know how to die." ”
"I'm not a fool, I don't know who can mess with and who can't?" Hua Ronghua glanced at him, "Speaking of which, you are afraid that I will surpass you if I am promoted in the future, so you deliberately hope that something will happen to me, right?" Hum! Stingy man! ”
"You...... I don't know what to do! Half of Gongxi Chu's mind is really like Hua Ronghua said, afraid that this woman's status is getting higher and higher, and he can't suppress her more and more, and the other half is really worried about her, but at this time, she is a little unable to get off the stage.
"Heh, you're going to strangle me, what more kindness can you have?" Hua Ronghua blurted out.
Gong Xichu suddenly felt that his heart was so tired, so he didn't argue with her anymore, but said: "Anyway, you should be careful yourself, for the sake of the two children." My money is calculated from the day he returned to the capital to report to the military department, I will write to the imperial court, your money will be sent to you directly, my food will be given to my grandmother, silver and other charcoal and tea expenses will be given to you. If I do die in battle, I will leave all the money for my two children! ”
