Chapter 220: Old Lady Mu
Liang Xiao quickly turned around and was slightly surprised to see someone coming from the door.
The old woman who is in good spirits is thin, dressed in a simple robe, without any headdress, with a hard air between her eyebrows that is not inferior to that of a young man, and a nuclear smile.
The legendary Mu Lao Taijun, the first strange woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty forty years ago, was so unpretentious and kind, so kind that it was frightening.
The crutch in her hand is said to be made of iron
"Grandma~"
Reunited after a long absence, Mu Qinxue ran to Mrs. Mu with tears in her eyes, and threw herself into the other party's arms to sprinkle coquettishness.
"Eh, grandma's good little Cher!"
Mrs. Mu's face was full of spoiling, and while holding her granddaughter to comfort her, her eyes turned to Liang Xiao.
"You are?"
"Mother, he is Liang Xiao......" Mu Ping said with a dry smile.
"Oh?" Mrs. Mu looked surprised, "This kid looks very resistant." β
"Resistance?" Liang Xiao was slightly surprised.
"Mother......
"Grandma!!"
The father and daughter were heartbroken and reminded one after another.
Only then did Mrs. Mu realize that she was out of shape, and said with a smile: "The old body is just happy for a while, don't mind." β
Liang Xiao: ......
The family of four talked to Liang Xiao familiarly.
Knowing that Liang Xiao and Mu Qinxue had made a relationship, Mu Qinxue would marry Duan Yunsleeve, Mu Lao Taijun was not surprised.
"It's worthy of being the granddaughter of the old body!"
Mu Qinxue nervously glanced at Liang Xiao, who was thoughtful, and pulled Mu Taijun's sleeve.
Old Taijun Mu hurriedly changed the topic and said, "You just said that you are going to Yanzhou to serve as a taishou after a while?" β
Liang Xiao nodded.
Mrs. Mu smiled and said, "It's just right, the child's grandfather is also in the north, you can go to him when the time comes, he wants to wear it." β
"Want to wear it?" Liang Xiao was shocked again.
Why does it always feel like something isn't quite right?
Mu Qinxue snorted: "After all, my grandfather loves me the most, and he wants me to marry a wishful man......"
Liang Xiao let out an "oh" and said no more.
Mrs. Mu chatted with Liang Xiao again, seeing that Liang Xiao talked extraordinarily, answered fluently, and had a calm bearing, the more she looked at it, the more relieved she became, and couldn't help touching Liang Xiao's head, and praised: "True pillars, Xue'er will be responsible for taking care of you in the future." β
Liang Xiao smiled dumbly and nodded.
Mu Qinxue's heart rose to her throat.
Her grandmother, who is older, is not as cautious as before?
After sending Liang Xiao away, the family of four got together, and Mu Ping and his wife looked depressed.
"Good little Xue'er, you say, how many slaps can this kid carry you?" Old Lady Mu asked.
The couple almost fell over.
Mu Qinxue finally couldn't help but say, "Grandma! I, I don't want to hit him......"
"That's not going to happen! In the future, it is natural for you to be a good wife and mother for him, but you should also pay attention to it on weekdays, if he brings disaster to the country and the people, or if he is hungry outside, he is a prostitute or something, he must always be taught a lesson and then led him to goodness. If he changes his mind, it will not only be you, but also the princess! Mrs. Mu said.
"Even the teacher favors him, he's not that kind of person~" Mu Qinxue looked nymphomaniac, and said, "However, if he fails Sister Yunsleeve, I will whip him with a leather whip~Smack~"
Mu Lao Taijun was relieved at this time, and after eyebrows with Mu Qinxue in tacit understanding, she smiled and said: "Since even Prime Minister Zhuge is optimistic about him, it couldn't be better!" When you go to Yanzhou and take him to see your grandfather, he said he wants to surprise you. At that time, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion in the capital will prepare a dowry worth one million taels, how about it? β
"That depends on what my father and mother mean~" Mu Qinxue is beautiful.
Mu Ping and his wife just nodded and said in unison: "This is as compensation for Liang Xiao." β
"Compensation?" Mu Qinxue suddenly lowered her face.
Her father and mother always thought that Liang Xiao marrying her was a sheep......
After all, her grandfather's wife was strict in the past, and the marquis of Dingguo, who commanded all armies, was like a grandson in front of his wife.
Because of Mrs. Mu's homecoming, Mu Qinxue did not live in the Marquis of Lanling Mansion immediately, but stayed at home with her grandmother.
However, Mu Qinxue will also read the account books, financial reports, and industrial details sent by Liang Xiao every day.
The Gongyang Liquor Industry in Beijing has been completely defeated by the Lanling Liquor Store and has been forced to withdraw.
With the support of Liang Xiao, the Dingguo Marquis Mansion purchased most of the white sugar and resold it all over the country, and the white sugar that the Gongsun family could buy accounted for only about one-tenth, and still made a lot of money.
Liang Xiao, with the assistance of the Marquis of Dingguo, expanded the liquor store to the towns around the capital, and newspapers were also escorted regularly.
If it weren't for the risk of leakage, Liang Xiao even wanted to open the newspaper to other places, and it was convenient and fast to use local materials.
A few months after the newspaper came out, the people of the capital had become accustomed to its existence.
On average, it is published every three to seven days, and the quality of each issue is comparable to that of a book, and it is no problem to read it as a book when bound together.
The great families could only carve wooden panels, but after all, they were unable to study movable type printing and engraving printing.
In Duanmu's workshop, Duanmu Yunqingtie blushed and looked at the pile of paper with blurred handwriting on the table.
"The problem is the ink, right? Even if we don't know what kind of material Liang Xiao used, we can conclude from the spy intelligence that the layout is made of copper plate and ordinary wood. Modulate the ink, I don't believe it can't be done! β
At this time, Duanmu Yunqing almost collapsed.
Their book industry in the capital has been destroyed by Liang Xiao, and only the workshop remains, which is no different from an empty shell.
Hand-copied books, even if the cost price is reduced, will not be able to sell a few copies.
No one likes to sell books for 600 or even 1,000 or more.
The books in Lanling Bookstore only need one or two hundred texts.
Liang Xiao, the defeated dog who was once robbed of his fiancΓ©e, turned over in less than half a year and became a world-famous Da Zhou Shixian, and also became a huge rich!
In contrast, he, a talented man in the capital who was praised by his family, has long been ignored, and has even become the laughing stock of the people in the city.
His wife, Nangong Ning, is now depressed and unhappy, and she washes her face with tears all day long, because he can't write even a poem and song comparable to Liang Xiao.
The more Duanmu Yunqing thought about it, the more hated he became, and roared hysterically at the housekeeper behind him.
"It was inconvenient to start in the capital, so Liang Xiao went to Jiangnan to lay out the newspaper office and sugar factory...... Send people to Jiangnan, no matter what means are used, within half a year, I want to get complete sugar making technology and newspaper technology! β
In the afternoon, the morning meeting.
Duan Yunyi announced in public that he would temporarily restore several Beijing officials between the ninth and seventh grades of the Tuoba clan.
Duanmujie and other ministers were not interested and did not show their faces.
Duan Yunyi saw their reactions in his eyes and frowned.
Since the suppression of the Tuoba clan, these families seem to be silent, but they are actually protesting to her in another way.
Negative cooperation.
Let them carry out the things decided by the court, and they also pass the buck to each other, and the excuses are more justified than the other.
Duan Yunsleeve suppressed the anger in his heart and announced it in public.
"I have a matter that needs to be discussed with the Zhongqing family. Liang Aiqing, Marquis of Lanling, can be of great use, I intend to let him experience and serve as the state and county guard, what do the Qing's families think? β
The officials were stunned.
"Transfer??"
