The New Year of the fourth year of Zhengde is approaching, and the things of the previous year are lackluster, Jinyiwei secretly watched the whereabouts of Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, in the capital for more than ten days, until Zhu Chenhao left Beijing to return to Nanchang on the twentieth day of the month, and did not see anything suspicious about the deeds of this prince.

Zhu Chenhao walked around every day, participated in one official banquet after another, and seemed to have a good relationship with all the officials and nobles in the capital, and the marquis of the regimental camp did not complain to him because Zhu Chenhao bought a large piece of real estate in the white paper mill, which was somewhat unexpected.

Zhu Chenhao also often came to find Song Nan to drink and chat, with a posture of 'I admire you the most', with decent manners and amiable words, which makes people feel like a spring breeze. At a certain moment, Song Nan even wondered if his defensive heart against Zhu Chenhao was nervous, and whether it was some kind of sequelae caused by staying in this era for too long.

On the day Zhu Chenhao left Beijing, dozens of high-ranking officials and nobles in the court went out of the city to see him off, and Song Nan was naturally also listed, Zhu Chenhao tried his best to invite Song Nan to go to Nanchang Mansion when he had time after the New Year, so that he could fulfill the friendship of the landlord, Song Nan agreed, but he forgot everything when he turned his face.

On the afternoon of the 27th of the lunar month, Zhu Fengtong, the lord of Ping'an County for more than a month in the south, also returned to the capital, and brought back the news that was exciting, the trip passed through Shanxi and Fengyang Huizhou to the south of the coastal Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, with the official letter issued by the Jinyi Wei Yamen, with the agreement of the White Paper Chamber of Commerce jointly signed by the little grandfather and Song Nan, as well as the three magic weapons of the preferential purchase policy of the Song Mansion Real Estate Development Company, and contacted the regional big business gangs including Jin merchants, Hui merchants, and Zhejiang merchants.

Shanxi's Jin merchants because of the business for a long time, so there is not much to say, the new rise of Hui merchants and Zhejiang merchants are very enthusiastic, if the year is approaching, they have to send people to Beijing to see the house and environment. In the end, Zhu Fengtong agreed with the chambers of commerce of the two merchant gangs that they would meet in the capital to discuss the entry of the two merchants after the year, but since the Jin merchants in Shanxi were unwilling to express their position, Zhu Fengtong only left a letter of invitation for their own consideration, and had no time to further contact him.

In the hall of the Song Mansion, Zhu Fengtong talked excitedly, the wives and concubines of the Song family sat around and asked one sentence after another, but Song Nan, who should have asked in detail, was silent, looking at Zhu Fengtong's slightly tired face after the wind and frost, Song Nan had an indescribable taste and emotion in his heart.

The former lord of the palace has now become a businessman who has appeared to lobby, this change is huge for Zhu Fengtong, many people are afraid that they will not be able to accept this change, but Zhu Fengtong can't see this, this woman is strong and assertive; Just like on the night of Shangyuan last year, when she knew that she would suffer the revenge and punishment of King Anhua after returning to the palace, in order to protect the Qingwang Mansion and the little prince, she still resolutely returned to the palace, and then the development of things was unexpected, and she was unable to keep the Qingwang Mansion, which has to be said to be a pity.

"How, how did I do on this errand? Take a look at this stack of famous posts, they are all merchants from Hui, Zhejiang, and other places, and I asked them to bring them to you, and these people are the future buyers of the white paper mill house. ”

Song Nan looked back from his thoughts and said with a smile: "I knew that you would definitely succeed, I have always had confidence in you, in fact, your whereabouts have always been under my control, and the Jinyi Guards and Yamen in various places will report your itinerary every day." ”

Zhu Fengtong was frightened: "It's really terrifying, thinking about having a pair of eyes staring behind me all the time, it's just chilling." ”

Dai Su'er smiled and said, "That's the husband's concern for you, we people just want him to stare at him or not." ”

Zhu Fengtong realized that there was an inexplicable jealousy in these words, and he became vigilant, got up and said with a smile: "Okay, the matter is done, wait for them to come after the year, and the slave family will sleep for three days and three nights after they go back, and they will be tired enough to choke on the way." ”

Song Nan waved his hand and said: "You don't have to go back, I have already picked up the people in your house to come to my house, my brother is very happy to live here, it is the New Year in a blink of an eye, how to celebrate the New Year if you don't prepare New Year's goods in your house?" Wouldn't it be nice to have a lively New Year together? ”

Zhu Fengtong was stunned and said, "How can this be? ”

Lu Qingli shouted, "Why not? The yard is all cleaned up, just east of the backyard, opposite to Sister Su'er's, and not next to other houses, ensuring that you will not be woken up after sleeping for three days and three nights. ”

Zhu Fengtong was a little embarrassed, she could sense a slight hostility in the eyes of the daughters of the Song family, just avoid it herself, if she lived under the same roof, I was afraid it would not be very convenient. But since Song Nan proposed it, and her younger brother was taken to live in the Song Mansion again, and the house was arranged, thinking about the deserted appearance of her house, she was quite looking forward to living in the lively Song Mansion during the New Year's Festival.

Zhu Fengtong naturally looked at the little county lord, she is the eldest lady of the Song family, it would not have been possible without her approval, everyone's eyes also focused on the little county lord, the little county lord held up his high belly and smiled: "Sister Zhu doesn't have to refuse, our Song family has a tradition of keeping people to live, Sister Qian'er's father and mother are in the northwest, hasn't she lived in my house for a few years?" Tight with everyone; Sister Zhu was originally from a noble background, so I was afraid that I would dislike my Song Mansion and the simplicity of the mansion would not be able to accommodate you. ”

Zhu Fengtong said in a low voice: "What else is Madam doing with this?" I don't have a home anymore, everything I used to do is gone, and now I'm just a commoner woman. ”

Ye Fanggu slapped her face and said: "Don't mention these sad things, have a good New Year this year, can the New Year's goods at home be ready?" Tomorrow we will sweep the market to buy more food of 10,000, this year the husband is rare to have nothing to do, let's play from thirty to seven. ”

The nurse on the side hurriedly stepped forward to hold her belly and shouted: "Oh, grandma, you can't make such a big movement, the baby in the belly can't stand it." ”

Ye Fanggu glared and said, "Why can't you stand it?" I practiced martial arts yesterday, and I didn't see anything happening; Look at the woman outside the city, she is still carrying a burden of more than 100 catties in October, and there is still nothing to do. ”

Ye Fanggu gestured while talking, and suddenly covered her stomach and made a loud noise, everyone got up in a hurry and asked, Ye Fanggu bent down and stopped for a moment and slowly sat down and waved her hand, and after relieving herself, she said: "This baby is not honest and kicked me." ”

Everyone laughed, and the nurse laughed playfully: "It must be a young master, and he didn't run away." ”

Song Nan laughed, relaxed for a while, his body was light, he had been here for so many years, this year's New Year was the most comfortable, his position in the court was stable, and Zhengde became more and more dependent on himself, although there were marquis and civil officials in the outer court who came out from time to time to make trouble, but they couldn't help themselves; The home and outside are also peaceful, and in April, I will have two more children, and the joy of adding people is the top priority of this era. After the Chinese New Year, if the white paper mill is a merchant shun, you will soon be able to return the funds to start the second phase of development, it is foreseeable that the benefits of the white paper mill project will be huge, when the huge amount of gold and silver is gathered, their next plan will also be launched.

Song Nan sat on the chair, thinking about things beautifully, drinking hot tea one by one, feeling very happy, thinking back to the tragic situation at the beginning of the crossing, who would have thought that he had today's achievements? I can't dream of it.

……

In the sound of firecrackers in the city, the New Year of Zhengde four years came, there were small waves at the beginning of the year, the rebellion of the king of Anhua subsided, and Liu Jin and his party were all eradicated, so that the big ship of the Ming Dynasty was reduced a lot of burden. With the series of pacification policies formulated by the imperial court, although it may not be a fundamental policy, it has also played a lot of roles, and the Ming Dynasty has recovered a lot of vitality.

Song Mansion is also rare to have a lively reunion together for a New Year, Song Nan has nothing to do and takes someone to make a pair of ivory mahjong to increase interest, at first the women have no feeling for this thing, and after being pulled on the table by Song Nan to play a few laps, they suddenly like the future quintessence of China.

Especially Song's mother, she was so addicted that she didn't even go to the Buddhist hall, and pulled several daughters-in-law to fight endlessly; The little county lord with a big belly and Ye Fanggu couldn't participate in it, but they also moved a stool and sat in the back to watch the game, Lu Qingli, Dai Suer, and Zhu Fengtong became frequent guests at the mahjong table, but Song Nan was arched down and had nothing to do.

For a while, the back house of the Song Mansion was full of coquettish voices such as "Eat and touch Hu", mixed with "You should have hung 90,000 just now." "No, I should hang the chicken alone" and something like that. Song Nan regretted it, regretted that he shouldn't have taught them this thing, I'm afraid it will be endless in the future. The little county lord has asked Song Nan to use ivory to find a craftsman to carve a pair again, and after giving birth to a child, he and Ye Fanggu will call Wan'er and Kou'er to form another game, Song Nan agreed, but in his heart he swore a poisonous oath that he would never bring those playthings in later generations to this era.

Lonely and helpless, Song Nan had to find another fun, fortunately Wan'er was not addicted to it, since she couldn't squeeze into the card table, why not hold Wan'er's round and delicate body and squeeze it, Wan'er seemed to know Song Nan's boredom, so she tried her best to serve, and the two were entangled like glue for several days.

Several times Song Nan wanted to take down Yang Ko'er, and if she wanted it, Yang Ko'er would definitely not refuse. But thinking of the situation after Yang Yiqing learned about this, Song Nan had to hold back this thought, and only took advantage of the fierce battle between his wives and concubines to hug Yang Ko'er, who was like a little tail behind him, and kissed her many times, and touched her body many times unscrupulously.
