Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Emperor Loves to Watch Excitement
The emperor gave Shan Zhao and Hebai a low-key marriage, and General Shan learned that the emperor would call Shan Zhao into Beijing to get along with Hebai, he didn't stay for a moment, and happily immediately packed up his things and took people and rewards back to the border first, and told the rest of the Shan family the good news.
As for Shan Zhao, who was deceived into Beijing and was going to stay alone for the New Year, it doesn't matter, his father won such a good opportunity for him to win his fiancΓ©e in this New Year!
Ming Lanying learned that Shan Zhao had been fooled and was already on his way here, and General Shan had already led people back to the border to report the good news, and he couldn't stand up with a smile.
Ye Jielu hugged her helplessly and dotingly, and Ming Lanying smiled softly and panted in his arms.
"You and the emperor are too bad, they actually deceived people into Beijing, if he was caught off guard and met Hebai, after the two fought, they knew that they were begged by their father to marry the emperor and their opponents, would they be angry and faceless?"
She learned a little bit about Shan Zhao from Ye Jielu, such as being handsome, it is said that the three brothers of the Shan family are all a branch of flowers in the border pass; For example, he has a good temperament and is not bad, even if he knows that he has been cheated by his father, he can only scold and scold his father, which is to love and hold grudges; For example, there are as many words as Tsurubai.
Ye Jielu saw her smiling happily, and her eyebrows and eyes softened a lot, "The lady wants to see the excitement, and the husband naturally has to make the lady happy." β
Ming Lanying pinched his face with a smile, "I heard the queen mother say, Shan Zhao arrived in the capital just in time for the New Year, and the general Zhenguan did not have a mansion in the capital, and the emperor meant to spend it together in our Commander's Mansion, I thought about it, he and Hebai must be lively together, so I agreed." β
Ye Jielu indulged in the hands on his face, looked down at her, and his cold eyes were as tender as water, "Okay." β
"By the way, Ning'er seems to be able to go to Chinese school, but when we go back to Biansai after the year, it seems that there is no private school and Chinese school in Biansai, I am thinking about asking him to ask for a teacher or we can directly run a school in Biansai?"
There are no Chinese schools and private schools on the side of Biansai, but they have money and power now, and it is nothing to run a Chinese school for Ning'er.
Ye Jielu shook his head, "There are mixed fish and dragons over there, it is not suitable for running a Chinese school, there are private schools, but they are not in our county, and when I go back, I will let Ming Langtao rectify it, and it is time to treat it after ignoring it for so long, I have connections in my hands, it is no problem to find a few good teachers for Ning'er, and I can also run a private school, and I can make friends and study." β
"Okay."
Ming Lanying thinks that it is also good, although the Chinese Academy in the capital is good, but there is no shortage of open and secret battles and gangs about rights in it, all of which are the children of the family, and the subconscious behavior of making friends with interests.
The official eunuch family in the capital, even the children have 800 hearts, and the daily worship stickers and invitation stickers are all pushed away, she herself doesn't want to touch these, and she doesn't want Ning'er to face these at a young age.
If Ning Er has the ambition to enter the official career, she will find someone to cultivate, let Ye Jielu teach him the way of officialdom, and then send him to the National Academy, starting from the National Academy step by step to the court.
If she wants to be a chivalrous and righteous knight, she can also spend a lot of money to ask the master of the eighteenth class of martial arts to teach him martial arts, let Hebai teach him the experience of the rivers and lakes, and let him go on a journey.
The eagle will one day leave the nest and spread its wings, and all she can do is to pave the way for him to the best of her ability, and teach him to follow his own path in a dignified manner, away from the dangers of the world.
Ming Lanying sighed, "It's so difficult to take care of children......"
Ye Jielu smiled helplessly, "I'll take it, you can just take him to play." β
Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, "Okay!" β
Steward Wang walked around the rockery and flowing water in small steps, found the two masters snuggled on the swing in the small garden, and respectfully handed over the account books of each shop this month, "Please take a look, Madame." β
Ming Lanying hurriedly sat upright, and after a quick glance, she looked at the rising income on it, and the smile on the corner of her mouth never put down, "I have been to see these shops, the business is very good, you can add some manpower to prepare a third of the larger, and there are some unnecessary expenses for this shop, transfer this expenditure to shop maintenance and materials......"
Ming Lanying can only check the account books and manage money, and is not very good at business, so she can only make small suggestions.
"Did you register the merchant shares in the Tang family's caravan a while ago?"
Steward Wang bowed, "I have already recorded it, Miss Tang Er personally replied to the news that she would be able to give dividends this year." β
Ming Lanying smiled, she also counted her property a while ago only to find that her small treasury is quite rich, rather than hoarding it to let it move, the first thing that comes to mind is investment dividends, as long as she pays money, she can make money lying down every year, Meizizizi.
She drew one-fifth of the treasury silver and invested it all in Tang Ning's caravan, she had heard Tang Ning mention it casually before, the caravan's annual net profit was about 600,000 taels, not as profitable as the imperial merchants, but it was also a lot, more to open up business routes and contacts.
And she entered the business stocks, and she invested a lot, accounting for the majority, and she could get about 80,000 taels a year.
Ming Lanying also specially asked Xiao San to send a letter to inform her, Tang Ning replied with tears and laughter, and promised to have dividends this year.
There is no problem with the account book, and Ming Lanying quickly returned it to the king steward.
"Steward Wang is very good at taking care of the shop, and the reward will be doubled at the end of the year."
The steward of the king restrained himself from laughing, saluted respectfully and thanked her, and then took out a letter sent by Biansai and handed it to her, and happily withdrew from the small garden to drink tea with the account book.
Ming Lanying looked at the signature in surprise, "It was sent by Shopkeeper Li." β
Ye Jielu also looked over, "The last time was at the beginning of the year. β
"Well, last time I reported good news, the big restaurant has expanded twice, and the business is getting more and more prosperous, and it has made a name for itself in several states and counties near Biansena, but there are more customers and there are problems, and some ingredients are not available."
Ming Lanying opened the letter and read it quickly, and raised her eyebrows as expected, "Sure enough, the supply of ingredients is difficult, and Shopkeeper Li has a bright mind, and he has set a few dishes for sale within a limited time and season, and now someone wants to cooperate with Shopkeeper Li to open a branch, but he refused." β
Ye Juelu was puzzled, "Why?" β
Ming Lanying smiled helplessly, "Shopkeeper Li is not so ambitious, he knows the truth that scarcity is expensive, only he and I know the recipe, if you want to open a branch, some recipes have to be made public to the chef, but the heart is unpredictable, he is afraid that he will teach his apprentice to starve him to death as a master, when the time comes, he will be empty, and he is still hesitating to open a branch, the recipe is bought from me, and he also wants to ask my opinion." β
Ye Jielu nodded approvingly, "He is a cautious and understanding person." β
Ming Lanying sighed twice in surprise when she saw the back, "Shopkeeper Li also invited me to be a partner, and asked me to be the behind-the-scenes owner of the big restaurant...... Divide my profit in half! β
Ming Lanying's eyes widened in surprise, the annual net income of the big restaurant is not less than one million taels now, and the shopkeeper Li is willing to let her directly be the owner behind the scenes and share two percent of the profits, she doesn't have to contribute money or effort every year, she only needs to give a few dishes to earn hundreds of thousands of taels lying down!
This heavenly riches!
"Shopkeeper Li is weird!"
Ye Jielu was surprised, still a little uneasy, "I'll let people find out about this person before considering it." β
Ming Lanying didn't really trust Shopkeeper Li, but she was still surprised, "Okay, but I think Shopkeeper Li is a good person and can cooperate." β
She was lucky, she met someone in the first vegetable seller, and the shopkeeper Li was discerning, and he was not so insidious and cunning.
Ye Juelu is not good to say that the shopkeeper Li is not good, as early as when Ming Lanying traded recipes with the shopkeeper Li several times, he asked people to roughly check this person, the background is clean and innocent, there is no owner and master behind him, and he relies on his sleek ability to gain a foothold in the side.
But it was only a cursory check, and now that Shopkeeper Li honestly invited Ming Lanying to be the owner, he had to check carefully to rest assured.
Ming Lanying looked at the letter paper and said twice, "Now that we are powerful and powerful, even if we open a branch, we are not afraid of being bullied!" β
Ye Jielu saw that her eyes were full of profiteering dividends, and she smiled helplessly, so she could only make people check quickly.
"I also have an industry in Biansai, but not much, so I ask my wife to go back to Biansai to help take care of her husband."
Ming Lanying grinned, and looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Is there an account book?" Show me! β
Ye Jielu looked down at her sparkling eyes, and also smiled, "My husband is not good at taking care of the shop and silver, they are all on the side, and when I go back in the future, the lady will be busy." β
"Well, as long as you hand in the regular silver on time, I guarantee that you will have extra silver income every month."
She hasn't lost in terms of managing money, Ming Lanying's three favorite things in her life, money ranks first, Ning Er ranks second, and Ye Jielu and Hebai rank third.
Ye Jielu smiled lowly, and held her sticker, "Okay, give it to the lady." β
Now that she has money, she can be justified as a housekeeper who can make her happy.
As soon as Hebai came back from the wall, he saw the brother and sister-in-law sticking together, their innocent and pure eyes seemed to be pierced by this loving scene, and their eyes were hot.
"Ahem! Brother, sister-in-law, I'm back! β
Ye Jielu raised his eyes and glanced at her, Ming Lanying looked at her lazily, "Where have you been playing in the past two days?" β
Hebai pursed his lips and muttered: "It's not the emperor's unlucky marriage, I don't know why the people in the Praetorian Guard camp know about it, and they shout congratulations when they see me, I'm still too unlucky, and I don't have a place to have fun......"
Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows, pretending to glare at her angrily, "You be louder, let your brother listen too!" β
Hebai was startled and called out, "Sister-in-law!" β
Ye Juelu's absolute loyalty to the emperor also made it impossible for Hebai to slander the royal family at will, and it was already a big rebellion, where did Hebai dare to say it out loud.
ββ¦β¦ I didn't go anywhere, I just went to listen to music, drink wine, and talk to Taiyi and them. β
Ming Lanying was surprised, "Don't you look for the brother of the Praetorian Guard Barracks?" β
Hebai looked at her indescribably, "They congratulated me when they saw me, and they also asked me if the groom was beautiful and resistant, which was very boring!" β
Minglan Yingle blossomed, the brotherhood between Hebai and the Praetorian Guard camp was really innocent, plus after the rebel rebellion, they were definitely iron-clad brothers!
"Knowing that you are depressed, don't be in a hurry to get angry, this is not a set day! The emperor and the queen mean to let the two of you look everywhere first, and then talk about it if you are not satisfied. β
The emperor also likes to watch the excitement, because Hebai pretends to be a good child in front of the emperor, and he can't hold back a fart for a long time, and he can always please the queen in private. The queen once complained to the emperor that the crane had too much vernacular, and she and Ming Lanying listened to it loudly, so the emperor remembered it and seized this opportunity to see her liveliness.
But this matter was heard by Ming Lanying from the queen later, she didn't tell Hebai, after all, there are several people who want to see the excitement, and the scene should be comparable to cross talk.
Hebai gritted his teeth and said resentfully: "What's the benefit, we have to fight when we meet, and we have to divide the winner and loser!" β
Ming Lanying was happy, quietly approached Ye Jielu's ear, and whispered softly, "There is also a play to watch, it is absolutely lively." β
Ye Jielu smiled and didn't speak, Ming Lanying looked at the puffing Hebai with a smile, "I heard that Shan Zhao is quite handsome, and now he is on the way here, he shouldn't know about the marriage, the emperor asked him to celebrate the New Year with us, and he will definitely know when he comes." β
Hebai rolled his eyes, "Handsome man is a fart, just a slender little white face, I don't know, I think it's a famous girl on the stage!" If you dare to come to our house for the New Year, I will beat him so that he can't remember about the marriage! β
Ming Lanying sat and talked without backache, and continued to speak coldly, "I heard that he is now a little general, with 10,000 elite soldiers under his hands, and our female general ...... Seems like only one person? β
Hebai clenched his fist and hammered it on the rockery on the side, and the craggy rockery caved a fist-sized hole, and the broken stone fell from the cracked texture, which made Minglan Ying snort twice.
"One-on-one except for my brother, I haven't lost anyone! What about 10,000 elite soldiers, I will be worth two of them! β
Ming Lanying applauded cooperatively, "Then before he arrives, the female general will go to practice?" Stay in the perfect condition and beat him without leaving a piece of armor! β
Hebai immediately turned around and went back to the courtyard to change into neat clothes and went to the martial arts training ground, Ming Lanying looked at her scrappy back.
asked, "Who do you think will win between Hebai and Shan Zhao?" β
Ye Juelu replied honestly: "I haven't seen Shan Zhao, I don't know the depth, it's hard to conclude." β
Ming Lanying touched her chin and thought, "Yes." β
Ming Lanying hadn't seen Shan Zhao, and it was not good for Xiao San to inquire about the news, so she could only wait leisurely in the house, occasionally cook something delicious, and run two laps or jump on a section of aerobics in her spare time to exercise.
A month has passed.
Ming Zhengqing was pressed to watch Ling Chi for two days, he was already crazy, Ming Lanying didn't care, threw him back to Jiang Heyu, and left the two to fend for themselves, the last one of the Ming family was left, and the emperor allowed the Ming family to be buried in the deserted grave, but unfortunately no one would go to worship.
Ming Lanying heard that Lishu was crying in the palace, crying and begging to go to the memorial, but the emperor did not agree, and it was already the greatest mercy to keep them to enjoy the treatment of the imperial family in the last few months.
Ming Lanying smiled after hearing this, Prince Heng didn't move at all, and listened to the caretaker say that Prince Heng was teasing the thrush in the house every day, but the consumption of the thrush was a bit fast, and he would find a new thrush in five or six days.
This made Ming Lanying feel weird, and deliberately asked the cuckoo to explore, but the result was just that Prince Heng talked to himself to the thrush every day, and when he was emotionally stable, he just talked to himself, and when he was emotionally unstable, he did it to the thrush.
The cuckoo groomed the feathers on his wings, "He kept babbling, 'Why did you leave me?' Am I bad for you? This kind of thing is strange and frightens the birds. β
Don't look at it with your brains! _(:Π·γβ )_
