When Mingqian came back in the evening, he smiled at the pearl and said, "Got it? ”

"I went to the Hou Mansion and came back with a lot of gifts." Pearl smiled and helped him take off his coat and prepare clothes for the bath,

Mingqian didn't come back for dinner today, and the person who came back from delivering the meal at noon told her. So Mingqian came back late, and Pearl kept waiting.

Pearl followed her husband into the bathroom, and the husband and wife could talk quietly, while Pearl scooped water on her husband, Pearl smiled and asked,

"How did you guess I knew?"

"Usually you make three of the four dishes and one soup you deliver. After that incident, there were only two dishes, and you made lunch today, obviously in a good mood, and the depression of many days was gone. ”

Pearl was a little ashamed, this guy, as if he knew everything, in fact, when Pearl knew that her husband had taken revenge, her heart was much more comfortable, and she wanted to compare her grievances with the dangers that her husband might suffer, she would rather give up her grievances, thinking that as long as there was such a person to protect her. But thinking of the danger, Pearl said to her husband,

"I said in charge, if you do this this time, you won't get into trouble, right?"

"The emperor understands very well in his heart, that is, he sees that this is my personal vendetta, but he has not expressed his position so far, just waiting to see my performance!"

Pearl frowned, "You mean he's scouting you?" ”

"It can be said that the position of the Zhou family in the court is not important, and there are no capable people in their family, although the Sun family is better. But he is also not a saintly person. Coupled with the fact that he didn't say a word, I guessed it. Mingqian said very plainly, but Pearl believes that what can make Mingqian confirm this must not be such a thing, but since it is not harmful to Mingqian, Pearl will not do what he thinks, it is just a matter of dart, and he still has to discuss it with Mingqian, so he said.

"The old lady knows that I have raised someone. guessed, she suggested that we simply open a dart game, so that the manpower has passed the clear road. I thought. He will defend these people from all over the world. We can also find out more about it. ”

Ming Qian turned back sharply and asked Pearl, "How did she know?" ”

Pearl said with a smile. "Originally, I was also worried, but after all, the old lady raised me so big, and she knew me best, not to mention that I had been taught by her for many years, and she also wanted to think of things, so when she heard that I brought a guard, she reacted, and it was not a big deal. Even if outsiders knew, they wouldn't say anything, you know, I've been doing business with the Hou Mansion in the past few years, and the people above must know it. ”

Only then did Ming Qian turn around and say, "Well, I see. It seems that the old lady of the Hou Mansion can eat thirty percent of the shares alone, and she can also protect you, I am afraid that there are many people in her hands. ”

Pearl also deeply agreed, she has been by the old lady's side for many years, but she knows that there are many capable people in the hands of the old lady, but she didn't think about it in that way. "By the way, the old lady also gave a house facing the street, saying that it is the best place to do a dart game where it is spacious."

Ming Qian said, "I'll do it, you just need to give me the deed." Obviously, Ming Qian was very jealous of the old lady's knowledge that they had manpower, and Ming Qian continued,

"Didn't the old lady really give 30% of the shares to others? How much does the Hou Mansion collect from the soap factory every year? ”

"At first, the income was not much, and I think the old lady must not have this heart, and when the silver is earned more, I am not sure whether they will give it to others. The combined income of these two years should be more than 150,000 taels. But I think that the red envelopes I send out every year account for two parts, and with the help of other business partners, it's okay, but I'm also wondering if I'm looking for a bigger backer in the capital. "The more money Pearl receives now, the more worried she becomes, for fear that someone will think about it.

Ming Qian thought for a while and said, "The emperor has five princes, all of whom are still young, and the brothers are Prince Zheng, Prince Rui, King Duanjun, King Lijun, Prince Zheng is young and promising, he is the emperor's half-brother and half-brother, and the emperor values him very much; Prince Rui is stationed on the frontier and is easily invisible. But I've heard I'm coming back soon. Duanjun Wang is an unserious person with a lot of industries. King Lijun is still young. Therefore, I think that the old lady of the Hou Mansion has something to do with the Duanjun Palace, and she can keep half of her silver at most. ”

Pearl thought that the second girl of the Hou Mansion married the king of Duanjun as a side concubine, and I heard that she was very favored, and it seems that all this is not without reason. I think that the old lady has done too much for herself, but although Pearl knows in her heart that the old lady has taken care of herself a lot, she doesn't know how to repay this love for a while.

Pearl didn't sleep well like Mingqian that night, and when Mingqian found out, he said a lot of comforting words. But the occurrence of this incident did give Ming Qian a wake-up call, and he had to be more careful in doing things.

The next day, Ming Qian told Pearl again that Wang Liu revealed their family's belly pocket tricks, and Ming Qian gave the statement that Prince Zheng might be like taking three girls. This seems impossible, but the Liu family is obviously overly yang. The second girl is also pregnant now, and if she also gives birth to a son again, it is estimated that there will be more eyes on the third girl. It's sad, but the times are like that.

Within a few days, Ming Qian asked Pearl for 100,000 taels of silver, although Pearl was a little confused, but still gave it, and after a few days, Ming Qian got back a lot of land deeds. There are also some title deeds for the shops in the capital. Apparently Mingqian made a big investment. Spending money like this seems to be for others to see.

By the time spring begins, Pearl is already more than four months pregnant, but because there is so much land at home, someone needs to go and see, and there must be a charter for anything to be planted in spring.

Half of the land that Ming Qian bought was near Zhuozhou, and half was in the south of the Yangtze River. And in the place close to the northern nomads, a pasture was bought. So after the beginning of spring, Pearl still has to be busy with the operation of the pasture, caring for several Zhuangzi in the south and north. In the south, the original varieties can only be cultivated. Mainly rice. In the north, wheat and sorghum and so on. On the most marginal pasture. Pearl herds thousands of cattle and more than 3,000 sheep. There were also some horses, but they were all ordinary, and Pearl sent a letter to Shopkeeper Liu, asking him to help him get some good horses.

After that, Pearl began to prepare for the arrival of Zhao Qingyu again. He hasn't been here for a long time, and their family has their own jadeite minerals, so it's naturally no problem to get jadeite, but it's not so easy to get tongkat Ali, especially the relationship between the year of pearl discovery and medicinal efficacy. The purchase price given to him was different, so he had to use dim sum. (To be continued......)
