The whole family knew that Yu Youwei had a simple personality and didn't argue with her, only Yu Yang squeezed her eyes.

Zhu Lihua didn't care about the fun between the children, she only focused on interests. "The news of the lab's 100,000 silver coins has not been confirmed?"

Yu Cheng hummed and said: "The official notice has come out, and the laboratory will be officially established on the eighth day of September, that is, there are still twenty days to go." ”

Zhu Lihua pondered and asked, "What's new on my father's side?" ”

Yu Cheng shook his head and glanced at the old housekeeper who had arranged the trivial matters and was walking steadily. "You should ask the old butler about this."

When the old housekeeper approached, Zhu Lihua didn't wait for him to say hello, and asked, "Master Yin, what is the new movement of the father's side on Zaiheng's laboratory?" ”

The old housekeeper said with a smile: "The prince knows that the laboratory is hard to find, but now Xue Wangfu has the opportunity to participate, and has been raising funds everywhere, but Xue Wangfu has limited money, and now it has only raised 200,000 silver coins." ”

Thinking that Zhou Bei's net worth was five million, and their royal mansion, the nine county royal mansions, had only raised 200,000 silver coins now, he couldn't help but sigh.

She has been frugal all these years, and she only has 50,000 silver coins in her hand at present, which is incomparable.

"My body is almost well, I plan to go to Yingtianfu in two days, confess my guilt to Your Majesty, and then ask about the shares."

Yu Yang looked at his mother's left leg and the splint on his left arm, and asked worriedly, "Mother, can your injuries stop tossing?" ”

"I'm going to put a new cast to protect my bones, and if I am careful on the road, it won't have a big impact."

Yu Cheng knew that Zhu Lihua was unpersuadable, not to mention that she was freer when she left herself. Then he looked at Yin Qin and said, "Master Yin, the county lord has gone to Yingtianfu, and I want to ask you." ”

Yin Qin said with a smile: "This is an old and decayed internal matter, and there is no need to be polite to the guests." ”

Yu Youwei stretched out her hand and grabbed her mother's healed right hand, and said pitifully: "Mother, I'll go with you......"

Zhu Lihua needs Yu Youwei to envelop Zhou Bei, so naturally she will not object.

As a noble woman, she doesn't need to study hard like ordinary women.

She nodded and said to Yin Qin, "Master Yin, you urge your father to raise as much money as possible." Husband, you use the income of the county lord's mansion as collateral and borrow 50,000 silver coins from the bank, and I will take it to Yingtianfu. ”

Yin Qin and Yu Cheng both responded, and she said: "There is no need to worry that I will be reprimanded by His Majesty if I go to Yingtianfu, since he acquiesced to the marriage between Zai Heng and Youwei, he will definitely not be guilty of the past, even if it is punished, it is a small punishment and a big commandment." ”

Yu Cheng naturally knew that this was the case, without the slightest worry, and said with a smile: "Don't think so much, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, think more about happy things." ”

……

……

Get off the horse bridge, Xiaoyao Hou Mansion.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it rained in Yingtianfu this morning, but the sky was sunny in the afternoon, and it was cloudless in the evening.

A bright moon seems to be hanging in front of you, adding a festive rendering to tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yingtianfu has been very lively in recent days, and as one of the most important festivals of the year, countless wanderers return to Yingtianfu for the festival.

The Xiaoyao Mansion is no exception.

Xiaoyaohou Mansion was originally in the Gaozu Courtyard in Xiamaqiao, and it occupied the best position in Xiamaqiao.

After the reward was given to the Marquis of Xiaoyao's Mansion, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the front yard and the middle courtyard of the Taisun regulations were divided, and the backyard was rewarded to the Marquis of Xiaoyao.

Even if there is only one backyard, the Xiaoyao Mansion is the largest private courtyard in today's Yingtian Mansion except for the imperial palace.

At the beginning, the Taisun Courtyard was still the old regulation, covering an area of 100,000 square meters, adjacent to the Mingyue Lake formed by the tributaries of the Qinhuai River.

The front yard and the middle courtyard, which covers an area of about 70,000 square meters, are now the Gaozu Memorial Hall, which is convenient for the people to pay tribute to the great achievements of Gaozu.

The backyard, which covers an area of about 30,000 square meters, is divided into the south courtyard and the north courtyard, each of which has more than 10,000 square meters, and the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion occupies the north courtyard.

Due to the increase in population, Yingtianfu is overcrowded. In today's imperial court regulations, the residence of a first-class official cannot exceed 1,000 square meters, but only the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion is never in the reform.

This is, of course, due to the outstanding contribution of Xiaoyaohou, it can be said that Xiaoyaohou's contribution alone brought Daming into the era of electricity.

His contribution is so great that no one else can match it.

At the beginning, Gaozu gave him half of his other courtyard, and it was only after five generations that it was surrendered from generation to generation, just to show his merits and the honor he should enjoy.

It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, and Xiaoyao Hou died of illness before he was sixty.

His wife, Ma Yushi, the daughter of Prime Minister Yu Qian at the time, is still alive, and at the age of 65 this year, she has become an old feudal monarch in the palace.

She had a deep relationship with Xiaoyao Hou and his wife, Xiaoyao Hou never took a concubine in his life, and the two only gave birth to two sons and three daughters.

The eldest son, Ma Mingxuan, inherited the Marquis of Xiaoyao, and the second son, Ma Mingyuan, developed the family business in the family fiefdom, and the family was harmonious.

In the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion tonight, the whole family gathered on the water pavilion by Mingyue Lake, not using a big table, but two or three people a case, drinking and admiring the moon.

After three rounds of drinking, Ma Yuncheng and Ma Yunhong both came to the desk of the head of the family, Ma Mingxuan.

The population of Xiaoyao Mansion is simple, the two brothers are over forty years old, and although there are nine in the third generation, they have not yet started a family.

The Ma family is a big family, with three brothers in the first generation and seven brothers in the second generation.

The third generation of Madi gave birth to four sons, Fengyun Thunder and Lightning, and Xiaoyao Hou Ma Dian is the fourth generation.

In Ma Mingxuan's generation, there are twenty or thirty brothers of the same generation in the Ma family.

The family industry needs helpers, and there are only two brothers in the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, so they found two cousins who know how to run to help.

Ma Yuncheng is conscientious and conscientious, Ma Yunhong is steady, and they can be regarded as right-hand men, and Ma Mingxuan is still very satisfied with them.

After talking about the recent rumors in Yingtianfu, Ma Yuncheng couldn't wait to tell Ma Mingyuan, who had just returned to Yingtianfu, about Zhoubei.

Introducing the deeds of Zhou Bei, he mentioned the laboratory that is still under construction.

"According to my inquiry at the Patent Office, Yun Shanbo took out 216 new patents at once this time, including 14 kinds of commodities and more than 30 kinds of technologies, all of which were involved in our family factory.

Now his lab is hard to find, and we can't be too active, but we can't be slow when it comes to technology licensing. ”

Ma Mingyuan, who is in charge of the family business, has lived in Nanyang for a long time, and turned his head to ask the eldest brother in the main position. "Big brother, you are well-informed in Yingtianfu, and you have a deeper understanding of this matter, do you have a strategy?"

Ma Mingxuan shook his head with a smile, and said to Ma Yuncheng: "Seventh brother, I'm afraid you can't change your temperament for a lifetime." Last time, I lost face in front of Yun Shanbo and the head of the Da family, and I haven't let you remember it for a long time? ”

Without waiting for Ma Yuncheng to express his position, he turned back to Ma Mingyuan and said: "Your Majesty only changed the yuan this year, and without the shackles of Gaozu, you must want to change." You should know his temper better, he has always been informal, unscrupulous in order to achieve the end. At this time, no matter how others fight, our Xiaoyao Hou Mansion is already woody and beautiful, and it is better to be quiet than to be still. ”
