"What?" Wu Yan didn't understand for a moment.

"Saiyiou, I heard you always call Gu Jue like that."

"Sai Yi ...... Europe? But she quickly came back to her senses, and instantly burst into laughter.

"Poofha...... Haha, "Emma, I'm laughing to death!"

Wu Shengyang, who was laughing inexplicably, looked at her and said, "What's wrong?" Isn't that what you call Gu Jue? ”

"No, no, no......" Wu Yan hurriedly covered his mouth, but his mind suddenly flashed, and he said: "Why don't you also give you a name, why don't you call it COO?" ”

Wu Shengyang frowned for a long time, a little disgusted: "It's not good, I originally thought that 'Saiyiou' sounded like 'Saiyiwo', but you are good, it sounds like 'Saiwowo'......"

"Ahem, cough~" Wu Yan had to bury his head deeply...... No one can see her face, which is actually distorted by a smile.

It seemed that half a century had passed before Wu Yan raised his head again, and his facial expression had been well controlled, but a little closer inspection could still reveal a slight distortion on his face.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about what is happening in Nanjing?" She asked calmly.

"Very good!" As soon as he mentioned this, Wu Shengyang's face showed a wave of excitement again, but fortunately he didn't continue to think about that nest.

"Since I have added a few more ways to play, the popularity of the racecourse is simply overwhelming! Every day, the tickets are sold out, you think about it, the thousands of people who bought the tickets, they just don't bet, just how much is the cost of food, housing and transportation? Not to mention those who bet on buying horses. The daily flow of this account is scary to say! ”

This was expected, so Wu Yan's reaction was very normal, and he asked: "What about the Horse Racing Association, how is it going?" ”

"The charter has been set a long time ago, and it has not yet been officially launched, and more than 20 people have already joined the association, and the local nobles and families in Nanjing alone account for most of them. The persimmon of the Duke of Wei said that if he wants to find a good horse again, he must compare it with the carmine of the Xie family. ”

"Oh? So what variety is carmine? It seems to be quite powerful, "This is exactly what Wu Yan is interested in."

"Hey, it's actually the horse of the Duke of Wei, you think most of the horses in his family are military horses, the Mongolian horse is suitable for long-distance running, but it is not suitable for being faster, the Xie family's horse is said to be a Yanqi horse, the body is quite tall, if you strictly talk about the bloodline, it is actually a Mongolian horse, but it is much faster than the Mongolian horse. So Xu Persimmon is not convinced, hehe. ”

"If you want to find a good breed, you have to go deep into the northeast, or you have to go west along the oldest Silk Road, like a thoroughbred like an Anglo-Arabian horse."

Wu Shengyang looked surprised and said, "How did the eldest sister know?" In that case, someone has to be familiar with the trade. ”

After thinking about it, he asked: "By the way, I see that there are many high-nosed and deep-eyed Europa people in Nanjing who also like horse racing, so I wonder if they have any good breeds there?" ”

Wu Yan smiled: "There must be, if there are people who know the Jesuits, you might as well let them inquire more." ”

"Oh, I have to write it down, and I'll tell Xu Persimmon next time, I guess he will do everything possible to get it."

"What about the feed supply? Dry and fresh materials should be easy to solve in the South Taifu Temple, but the concentrate feed is estimated to be more difficult, right? Wu Yan said again.

"Well, who's to say it's not! In fact, the pastures in the northwest have long been engaged in oat mixing, but the roads are not smooth, and the freight of transporting a wagon of feed is more than ten times the value of the feed, not counting the cost of manpower, it is almost crazy! In my opinion, Ruth thought that it would be better to fix it as soon as possible. ”

Wu Yan also sighed and said: "There is no way, and it is impossible to pay for it yourself, I am afraid that I can't afford it because of the huge cost, and secondly, I am afraid that there will be some changes, and it will be repaired in vain, so I can only wait for the policy of the imperial court to come down, and I dare not move now." ”

"Yes, Brother Wei and Gu Jue also think the same, I hope that the imperial court will come up with a corresponding strategy as soon as possible."

Wu Yan remembered something again and asked, "By the way, is the "Book of Horses" written by Gu Jue completed?" It's done, and it's good to print and publish it for him. ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Wu Shengyang smiled again: "He is now forgetting to sleep and eat, for this "Book of Horses", for the racecourse, it is rare to even quit the land of wind and moon, you must know that he has gone from Mochou to Qingxi to Qinhuai, and those sisters and sisters can line up hundreds of households." ”

"No wonder I haven't seen him appear in the capital for a long time, is he going to live in Nanjing? If you want to blame me for this, Gu Shangshu can't blame me? In the future, it is best for you to run in the north and south of Kyoto, although it is a little harder, the capital also needs people to manage, and it is impossible for the prince to worry about these, so it is only up to him to 'race a nest' and you 'race a nest' two to work. ”

Wu Shengyang's face darkened when he heard this: "Can you change your name?" It's ugly! ”

"Hahahaha...... That's a nice thing to hear. ”

——————————

Wu Yan and Wu Shengyang finished talking about things and returned to the back house, and she still remembered to discuss Wanxi's return with Mrs. Hou.

As the name suggests, the return is a return to the letter and the return gift, the return letter corresponds to the letter of appointment, and it is also necessary to list the names of the three generations of the woman's ancestors, which room is out of the clouds, and then write auspicious words, and finally attach a list of returns.

This time, Wu Yan also represents the meaning of the imperial concubine Wu, to discuss Wanxi's dowry and dowry with Mrs. Hou, and Huiyi must not only reflect the bearing of the high family, but also make the man's family not despise the woman.

The two agreed to return to the ceremony, and then sent a handsome calligrapher to write down the return ceremony, saying: Wu Wanxi is the daughter of Wu Conghai, and she was born to the Zhang family in the main room, so as to ...... When it is made, it is hereby relied on the red leaves to herald Lang, and the little girl who has been married for a hundred years, in order to match the famous family and national weapons, He Mengcai is willing to respect Yan, and dare to follow the dove and the joy of virtue. There is a return to the left to re-ask the name...... Kindness and contemplation:

The book is written with a mandarin seal, a gold satin, a gold flower table, and the four treasures of the study. April of the ninth year of Shi Yongming......

Marriage is not only a matter of both men and women, but also an alliance of interests between two families, which is an alliance, and the woman's financial resources determine her status in her in-law's family, which is very realistic. And Wanxi's marriage to Uncle Wu's persimmon, the eldest son of the future concubine will definitely inherit the title, but the family's property is not only inherited by the son-in-law, but all the concubines have a share.

In the distribution of children's property, the difference between the son-in-law and the concubine mainly comes from the mother's dowry, which can only be inherited and managed by the children of the concubine, and is also the guarantee of the mother's status in the family in the future.

The Wu family is now unable to talk about marriage except for Wu Yan for the time being, Wanxi is the first daughter of the Wu family to marry, so the family naturally attaches great importance to it. Wu Yan doesn't know if Marquis Wu is a scumbag, but at least he is still good at loving his children.

Wu Yan's mother and the Wu family once had a past, but it was actually not happy, and her mother's dowry is still in the Wu family, and her mother has no son, so these dowries Wu Yan is the legal heir. When Wu Yan came to Beijing last year, he came to ask for a dowry, but he had an unpleasant quarrel with Mrs. Wu, and then Marquis Wu spoke, and the matter was calmed down.

Marquis Wu meant that the dowry would still remain in the Wu family, and she would give it all when Wu Yan got married, of course she understood what he meant, and it was nothing more than letting her recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, but this matter was not something that the Wu family could decide.

Since they chose to give up Wu Yan's mother and daughter, they are not qualified to ask for identity again today.

When he left Wu's house, Wu Yan did not return to the study in the front yard, and after Wu Conghai sent Zhang Wubo away, he stayed in the study. He knew that Wu Yan was gone, and he didn't say anything, but came to the porch and quietly looked at the cherry tree in the courtyard, which had been planted with his loved ones......

————————————

Wu Yan returned to the palace, first went to the Qianqing Palace to report, and briefly reported the experience to Emperor Yongming, and then remembered Li Daoru's article, and was still worried about wanting to publish it, so he asked: "Your Majesty, have you read the article reviewed by Li?" Can it be published in the Beijing Business Daily? ”

When Emperor Yongming heard this, he replied angrily: "No." ”

"Huh?" Wu Yan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Emperor Yongming to refuse, and asked, "That...... What about the other one? ”

Emperor Yongming's face sank when he heard this: "Wu Yan, am I too used to you?" Why do you get more and more ignorant? ”

"Ah, this ......" Wu Yan was completely confused, did this emperor eat guns? Or is it stimulated by something? I didn't offend you!

She wisely chose to shut up, then chose to do her own thing, and found a chance to get out of the Qianqing Palace after she was done. First go to the imperial concubine of Yikun Palace to fight and clarify the affairs of the Wu family, and after leaving Yikun Palace, he hurriedly found Xiaohuo and asked him what happened today.

Xiao Huo first looked around mysteriously, and only after making sure that there was no one did he lower his voice and said, "Don't you know, Sizhen? The governor of Caoyun returned to Beijing, and it seems that as soon as he came back, he entered the palace to meet His Majesty, and talked for a while, and then His Majesty recruited the ministers again, and then later...... His Majesty was angry. ”

He continued: "Even Zheng Dajue came to warn him that he should be careful in his life and work these days." ”

Wu Yan secretly thought, he hadn't been in the palace for most of the day, so many things had happened? And that Cao Du is back? What did he say that His Majesty was angry?

It would be nice if I could ask Zheng Daban, but now I don't want to return to Qianqing Palace...... Wu Yan thought about it, it was better to go to Li Daoru and ask first.

After she made up her mind, she didn't delay, first asked Xiaohuo to summon the green mantle sedan chair, let him follow behind, and she quickly got on the sedan chair and went to Wenyuan Pavilion. There were still a hundred steps away from Wenyuan Pavilion, and the two of them saw that the cabinet office had been lit up, and there were officials coming in and out of the door from time to time.

The sky gradually dimmed, and Wu Yan secretly thought in the sedan chair, it seems that the ministers will work overtime again tonight, and at this time they will pass rashly, if they bump into it, it may be inconvenient, it is better to forget it today, and go to Li Jian tomorrow to ask about the situation.

After changing her mind, she still asked the female sedan chair man to carry the sedan chair to the celebrant supervisor's room.
