Chapter 303: Lifting a Rock and Shooting Yourself in the Foot
? Chapter 303 lifts a stone and shoots himself in the foot
In the city of Pyongyang, the original courtyard of the Su family was full of people coming and going, and it was a happy and busy scene.
Today is the day when the 'female' owner of this house moved from the new city, speaking of busy, in fact, there is nothing busy, this application is complete, the placement is placed, even if there is no placement, there are old family members from the new city, immediately according to the instructions of the stewards, go to the market to buy, and wait until Yu Feng accompanied Zhao Xueniang and his party over, basically, the hall, courtyard, bedroom, are all arranged according to the pattern of the old house in the new city, only the master to live.
Of course, Zhao Xueniang's vegetable garden, that is the first time to 'get' a good one, the people dare not deprive the master mother of this hobby of hoeing and planting vegetables, but the original ground planted those 'flowers' and 'flowers' grass to get rid of the grass, and then use a bamboo fence to circle it, that can still be done.
Yu Feng and Zhao Xueniang walked in front, followed by Zhen Huan and Wu Yanran, as for Yu Yue's little guy, he was being held in the arms of his 'milk' mother, just following behind a few ladies.
"Xianggong, I thought the house we lived in before was good enough, but I didn't expect that our new home was better than the original one!" Zhao Xueniang was a little pleased. Wu Yanran was behind, smiling silently, but Zhen Huan was still a little dissatisfied with the layout of the house, but since the affairs of the house were handled by Wu Yanran, and Zhao Xueniang expressed her liking again, she couldn't say anything.
It's not that Zhen Huan is picky, it's just that she basically grew up in the Dingguo Mansion from the bottom, no matter how quiet and rich this house looks, it can compare to the atmosphere and grace of the Shangguo Mansion? Moreover, she is very clear about the current power of her master, and in her thoughts, this Pyongyang is really not worthy of the Yu family's house.
"Look, this bamboo forest here, do you feel like you're back in Zhaojia Village!" Yu Feng pointed to the bamboo forest over there, and he even remembered the scene when he cut bamboo into a spear and led human traffickers to 'smuggle' salt, unconsciously, it had been four years, and the events of these four years ago were still vivid in his mind, as if they happened yesterday.
"Well, it's a little bit of a thought, but these bamboos are so thin and tight that they look good, and they can't be of great use!" Zhao Xueniang looked at it and frowned slightly.
"Hahaha!" Yu Feng laughed: "Isn't this just for people to see?" Do you still want to see some bamboo benches and bamboo chairs? ”
After looking around and getting familiar with the environment, the 'women' took their maids to settle their own bits and pieces from the new city, Yu Feng sent Zhao Xueniang to the room, and told her to rest more, he would come back to eat with everyone in the evening, and then, teasing Xiao Yu Yue, Shi Shiran went out.
Zhao Xueniang never asked at this point. She can cite that what she does is a big thing, she is a 'woman' Taoist family, and she can't help her husband in major things, so it has become a typical idea of the husband and wife to manage the family in a down-to-earth manner. Although Yu Feng is not a daily manager now, he is really busy everywhere, if he really grinds with the 'women' in the inner house all day long, she will have to advise him.
However, Yu Feng is not going out to deal with any official business at the moment, in fact, where he is, he can handle official business everywhere, and where he is is the marshal mansion of the Fengzi Battalion.
He came out of Zhao Xueniang's room, but he turned and walked directly into Zhen Huan's yard, and Zhen Huan seemed to know that he was coming, and had already sent two maids to wait outside, and she herself was a basket of light yarn, holding a painting fan, and was enjoying the cool under the grape trellis in the courtyard.
"They're all settled?" Yu Feng lay down on the bamboo and rattan chair, took a piece of melon and fruit from the table, and took a bite.
This they refer to the 'flower' lady brought back from Jining by Yu Feng, and the second lady sent by the Cui family, who are a little embarrassed in Yufu's 'female' people, nominally, they are now Yu Feng's 'private' property, and they are Yu Feng's 'female' people, but in fact, it is not the same thing, for Yu Feng, it is nothing more than 'spending' money to raise.
"Let the two of them live in the back and enter the yard, and the people who call it, food, clothing, and clothing are all settled!" Zhen Huan smiled and replied that Zhao Xueniang had always been just a nominal talker, and in the inner house, most of the trivial matters were still taken care of by her.
"Don't look at me like that, I don't have that mind!" Seeing Zhen Huan's smile, Yu Feng knew what this girl was thinking, whether he was beaten with iron or not, he was already a little difficult to deal with his own wives, and he still provoked those 'women', did he think he didn't die fast enough? In this era, there are no blue 'color' small 'pills' to buy.
"Okay, don't talk about this, the master is so disinclined to laugh, I don't want to know the master I used to know at all!" Zhen Huan pouted slightly, appropriately coquettish and petted, this is something that every 'female' person is born with, in fact, in this house, except for Zhao Xueniang, no one in a few 'female' people will give up this small means.
"Tell me about your brother!" Yu Feng said slowly, but the handkerchief handed over by the maid wiped his hands.
"What's wrong with my second brother, what's wrong with him, report to you!" Zhen Huan opened his mouth slightly, a little surprised. Since Zhen Er came to the army, he has not stopped, although he does not make any big 'hair' problems, but there are always a lot of small 'hair' problems, and Zhen Huan has heard of a lot, but this is the first time that Yu Feng has come here.
"What can he do, he has done a hundred households, and he has stood up after the system, as long as he works hard, he will naturally have his future, am I not taking care of my uncle at all?" Yu Feng looked at this Zhen Huan with a little dissatisfaction, and said angrily.
"Giggles!" Zhen Huan covered his mouth and chuckled, "If my second brother hears the words of the master, I'm afraid he will die of joy!" ”
"Ahem!" Although there are no outsiders, Yu Feng also feels that he should not go deeper on this topic: "What I want to say is your eldest brother's business!" ”
"What you told me last time, I sent someone to check it, and this matter is very fussful!"
"I just said, the Guogong Mansion wants to go to sea to do business, where is there no way, my eldest brother is from the Cao Gang, as soon as our ship arrives there, it will be directly 'handed over' to the Cao Gang, where are the two golden signboards of the Cao Gang and the Guogong Mansion, this money is not from Jinshan Yinshan, master, I think, this is much easier than making money from those barbarians!"
"You came up with the idea yourself?" Yu Feng was a little curious.
"But no, in Nanjing, there are a few officials who don't have such a shop, the master doesn't know this, it's just that if you dare to go to sea to do it, you can count it out in the face. At present, we have sea vessels, and if we don't know that this kind of business is in our own hands, we will be damned! Zhen Huan was also very excited to see that Yu Feng attached importance to his suggestions, all along, such a role 'color' belonged to Wu Yanran, unexpectedly, there was a day when he wanted Yu Feng to contribute advice and be taken seriously.
"Well, I've already sent out this person, I estimate, in ten days and half a month, there should be a reply over there, I just don't know, your eldest brother is okay, I remember the last time I came to Xincheng, he didn't seem to have a very high position in the Cao Gang!"
"It's not high, won't the lord hold him a little higher? As long as we can do a good job in this business, we must make a little money, seeing the old man raising soldiers, the silver is like flowing water 'flowers' out, the concubine looked really distressed, and finally thought of a way to solve the master's worries, the master still doesn't support me! Zhen Huan was a little aggrieved.
"Okay, I didn't say that you can't do this, didn't I just tell you, I sent out all the people, and some of the relationships in the past are also going to be used, this is not called support, what else is support!"
Of course, Yu Feng didn't have this idea for the sake of trading, in fact, he had this idea for a long time, but he couldn't find a breakthrough. Being able to re-contact Xu Yuanliang and establish a good relationship with the Cao Gang, which is known as having hundreds of thousands of people, is undoubtedly a very good breakthrough, at least, in the Ming Dynasty, Yu Feng's Tianji activities will no longer need to be disguised by the identity of the three sects and nine streams, and there can be a cover identity justifiably, and the Four Seas Commercial House of the Ming Dynasty, which has been basically in a state of shrinkage, can also take the opportunity to expand, which is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.
Not to mention, this trade route can also bring him financial resources far away. In the future, no matter which side of Daming is in charge, with this foreshadowing, he will also be able to quietly send his own forces into the interior of Daming, so that he will be far overseas, at least he will not become a blind man. Let people, a further layer he also think, from the day Daming defected to North Korea, he has thought carefully, perhaps, one day, he can justifiably return to Daming.
Such thoughts, of course, are hidden deep in his heart, and no one has even said that, according to this trend, if he sets foot in the land of the Ming Dynasty again, he will definitely not be a small officer who defected overseas at the beginning, but a prince, and even has the capital to compete in the world, this is the best situation. Of course, there are also bad ones, but Yu Feng refuses to let himself think in a bad direction.
He didn't know that he 'handed over' to Tianji, and he thought that his secret actions were almost 'exposed' in Tianjin because of his last move, which is called almost lifting a stone and hitting himself in the foot. If it weren't for Zhao Xiaowu going to Nanjing, and being checked by Jinyiwei on the way back, he would have been wiped out by Jinyiwei, think about it, if he hadn't gone to Nanjing and hadn't pulled the banner of Dingguo Mansion, with the signboard of the Cao Gang that Zhen Daliang came out, would this Jinyiwei be able to buy it?
He didn't know, but Mu Haitao knew that at this moment, as the general leader of Tianji, he was not in Pyongyang, but in Nanjing!
