478 Do not raise idlers
Time passed little by little, when Ling Xiaorou changed into winter clothes, Jiang Mengguo's envoy returned to Weicheng Mansion from the capital, the envoy was still on the way, and the fast horse who reported the news arrived first, in addition to bringing back two repaired documents, he also brought back the holy decree to release Feng Wu and others to return to China.
He Louyuan didn't want to keep Feng Wu and the others all the time, and since the goal was achieved, he wouldn't want to waste food to feed idlers.
Ling Xiaorou was a little reluctant to Feng Wu's departure, although they met on weekdays across the railing, but after getting along for a long time, they had cooperated so many times, this person said to leave, she always felt empty in her heart.
inadvertently mentioned it to He Louyuan, He Louyuan frowned, "Why don't you ...... Leave her behind? ”
Of course, Ling Xiaorou knew that He Lou was far from talking, as long as she nodded, He Louyuan would definitely do it, but the emperor's holy decree had been issued, and if he left people, it would be to resist the decree, besides, Feng Wu was not from the Great Yan Kingdom, and she couldn't be locked up like a prisoner all the time, so it was not reassuring to let her outside.
In fact, she is not so reluctant to give up Feng Wu, she just thinks that she has a wide range of knowledge and can paint, and when she is gone, where can I find a lovely painter in the next book?
Fortunately, Ling Xiaorou and Feng Wu have also learned a little in these days, although the painting is not as expressive as her painting, but she can also deal with it, just waiting for the birth of the child, her actions are not restricted, she can do it herself, and she doesn't ask for anything.
Of course, before the envoys of Jiang Mengguo arrived in Weicheng Mansion, they still had to squeeze Feng Wu's surplus labor, and it was not a problem that the booklet that was not printed at present could still deal with it for a year, and maybe she would be able to find a more suitable painter than Feng Wu at that time.
It's just that she has always been very optimistic about He Louyu and Feng Wu, and she also thinks that He Louyu is a little bit interesting to Feng Wu, but Feng Wu will return to China like this, will He Louyu be sad?
In Ling Xiaorou's heart, she doesn't have too much of a sense of enemy country, Ling Feng and Yilan can get married, why can't He Louyuan and Feng Wu? From ancient times to the present, there are many legends and stories of falling in love with a fight, and even in later generations, it is still known as a beautiful story.
As for whether Feng Wu would continue her spy work after marrying He Louyu, Ling Xiaorou felt that this was He Louyu's business, so the smart Second Master He Lou couldn't even manage his daughter-in-law?
Secretly observing He Louyu's reaction, if he was disappointed or reluctant, Ling Xiaorou would find a way to help, but nothing could be seen from He Louyu's face.
Since when did He Louyu pretend to be like this in front of his relatives? Ling Xiaorou began to miss He Louyu who wrote everything on her face when she was in the capital, although He Louyu at that time also had scheming, but it was all when facing others, in front of Ling Xiaorou, He Louyu was so simple that she could see through it at a glance.
Could it be that He Louyu really has no special feelings for Feng Wu, but she misunderstood? Or is He Louyu a clear distinction between public and private, since he feels hopeless, he simply gives up?
Although I feel that I haven't been able to compose a moving story from enemy to love, Ling Xiaorou will not be so stupid as to ask He Louyu to pick an enemy spy to marry, it's best if you don't love, anyway, there are many good girls in the world, and He Lou's second master is not bad anywhere, what kind of girl can't marry?
When the envoys of Jiang Mengguo arrived in Weicheng Mansion, their mood was very conflicted, they both longed for the days of good food, drink and fun in Weicheng Mansion, but also felt very sad in their pockets.
After all, the Weicheng Mansion will entertain these envoys, but they can only be treated with the same treatment as going all the way to Beijing, eating delicious but not many good ingredients, sleeping comfortably but not much gorgeous bedding, enjoying the delicacies in the Zhuangzi, the food in the embassy can only be regarded as delicious.
But that kind of enjoyment is to make them pay for it, in addition to the silver they brought before in Weicheng Mansion to scatter a lot, after entering Beijing, they are even more out of the house, and when they leave the capital, Wen Xiangrong only has a box of jewelry in his hand, and there is no silver left, fortunately, Dayan Kingdom still provides them with food and drink, otherwise the officials will have to pay out of their own pockets.
This time I fought with the emperor of Dayan for a few days, and the emperor finally spit out that he could let Fengwu and others return to China, and finally reached the goal of allowing Jiangmeng people to continue to set foot on the land of Dayan Kingdom, and Dayan Kingdom only asked their purpose, but the condition is that they can only be tourists, since they are tourists, they must have the rules of tourists, in addition to being willing to spend money, no matter where they want to go, they must follow the tour guide team sent by Dayan Kingdom, and they must not leave the team without permission.
The most important point is that those who don't have money should not come to Dayan to join in the fun, in case they really can't even take a boat to go back, Dayan people will not kindly send them back.
As for the Jiangmeng people who come to do business, Dayan will not stop them from docking, but they must pay a considerable amount of deposit, as long as there is no suspicious behavior found in Dayan, the deposit must be returned when leaving, but once any behavior is found that endangers Dayan Kingdom, not only will the deposit be confiscated, but even the people and goods will be seized, even if the person can be sent back to Jiangmeng in the end, the goods will never be returned.
As the weaker party, Jiang Mengguo not only agreed that Dayan merchant ships could land on the coast of Jiangmeng unconditionally, but even only collected 10% of the tax, which was much lighter than the 30% tax of Jiangmengguo.
Finally, the Jiangmeng envoys returned to Weicheng Mansion in early October, and the embassy took the lead in receiving the envoys this time, and He Louyuan only met with the envoys at the embassy, and sent Feng Wu and others over, as for inviting them to dinner...... Or the things arranged for Zhuangzi, I didn't think about it at all.
When the envoys happened to be in Weicheng Mansion, they brought countless gold, silver and jewelry, and the oil and water at that time were sufficient, and then they spent a lot in Zhuangzi, with the momentum of their silver distribution to the officials in Weicheng Mansion, this way to the capital must not be less sprinkled, maybe they are now empty in their pockets, and then live in Zhuangzi, if there is no silver and can't pay the bill, can they still make the prince's subordinates lose?
Anyway, this time, even the guards who had been celebrating their birthdays and earning silver before also leaned back, and since they had no money, they didn't want to get involved with these poor eggs.
The three meals a day in the embassy are not bad, each meal is four dishes and one soup, but when I think of the daily enjoyment of the delicacies of the mountains and seas in Zhuangzi, most of the envoys miss it, but after all, what they ate at that time was all treasury silver. Now that the treasury is gone, they will have to pay out of their own pockets if they eat more.
Moreover, at this time, if anyone proposes to live in Zhuangzi, they must bring everyone with them, and they all have valuable things in their pockets, but with such a high consumption, if everyone else pretends to be a grandson, a single person cannot afford it.
This is not like when he was in Jiangmeng, he could still catch two rich businessmen who were rich and wanted to befriend them, and he could definitely only pay out of his own pocket, so even if he was hungry, no one took the initiative to go to Zhuangzi.
Others can bear it, but Uncle Guo is uncomfortable, especially the panic of gluttony, the five catties of wine before were originally intended to be brought back to China to ask for a favor in front of his brother-in-law, but he couldn't hold back for a while, and he drank up two cups every day.
If he didn't live in Zhuangzi, he wouldn't have a chance to buy wine if he wanted to, but he was unwilling to let him spend money to invite these iron roosters. Seeing that the matter was done, and he couldn't stay in Weicheng Mansion for a few days, Uncle Guo was really afraid that there would be no such store in this village.
In the end, after a total of one night, Uncle Guo simply came to the embassy official by himself, and asked him to inquire about the wine of the palace, if he could buy it, he would not be stingy with silver.
Of course, the curator knows that the palace wine that has been popular in Weicheng Mansion recently, it is said that the wine is as delicious as the elixir and jade liquid, but the price is not something that ordinary people can afford, and he is not enough to drink one cup of two taels of silver a month.
However, he is still willing to buy wine for Uncle Guo, after all, Uncle Guo can't use him in vain, he doesn't give a few taels of silver when he buys wine, and he can enjoy the wine and drink it, and he has tasted it anyway.
Of course, the curator knew where to buy the palace wine, but he had a good heart, and they had all heard about how much silver these envoys had sprinkled in the Zhuangzi before, and since these were so-called stupid people with a lot of money, he couldn't be too affordable.
But he didn't have the courage to dazai these envoys, so he simply came to celebrate his birthday, and the people of Zaijiang and Mongolia had more experience in celebrating their birthdays than anyone else.
Qingsheng listened to the report of the librarian, and praised him for understanding things, he has the wine here, and he doesn't need to go to the palace to buy it, as for the restaurant outside, the supply is in short supply, and the price is not allowed, and the librarian may not be able to buy it even if he takes the silver.
Birthday celebration asked people to get a small jar of five catties of wine for the pavilion officer, "This wine will not be expensive for you, and will give it to you at the price sold outside, this jar of five catties, you will send me two hundred taels of silver when you turn around, as for how much silver you can get from Jiang Mengguo when you go back, it depends on your ability, General Ben sold this jar of wine for 1,000 taels of silver, you can't sell it cheaper than General Ben." ”
The curator almost couldn't believe his ears when he heard it, the price of the wine Qingsheng didn't pit him, and it was also sold at this price in Weicheng Mansion, but Qingsheng said that when these wines were sold to the people of Jiangmeng, it was one thousand taels, and it was equivalent to making him eight hundred taels here? What's more, General Qingsheng also said that he can't sell it cheaper than him, but it doesn't matter if it's expensive.
In this case, he doesn't have to be polite to Uncle Jiang Mengguo, even if he knows that it is expensive in the future? Everyone has returned to China, what else can they do with him?
When the embassy officer said that the wine was bought for 1,200 taels, the uncle asked people to give him silver without saying a word, but he secretly pondered in his heart, "It seems that the birthday manager is kind enough, but he didn't earn a cent of his own." ”
But no matter what, it's good to have wine, although there is less, as long as he brings it back to the emperor's brother-in-law to send a pound and a half of it, the brother-in-law will naturally find a way to drink it in the future, and the brother-in-law will not forget his brother-in-law who offered wine to him after drinking, and there will be free wine to drink at that time, is there still a difference of a thousand or a few hundred taels?
