The twenty-second day of the first month.

Li Weijian woke up early in the morning and discussed with Fu Qiufang about going south. Fu Qiufang was reluctant to give up, and after a few months, the people around her trusted her. not only handed over the errand of the head of the house to her, but also handed over the huge factory to her for accounting.

Don't say that it's just a concubine, looking at the head of the noble family, she may not get this trust. She was grateful in her heart, so she buried her head on Li Weijian's shoulder and asked, "It will take a few months for the master to go back this time, right?" ”

Li Weijian said: "I always have to rush back before June." ”

It's not yet February, so isn't it half a year younger? Fu Qiufang endured the reluctance in her heart and said: "The concubine at home will take care of herself, but this time when she goes south, the master has to return to his hometown, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"Then the concubine Ming'er will send someone to buy the earthen instrument."

"This is not in a hurry," Li Weijian said thoughtfully: "This time, I will first go to Jinmen to take a boat to Guangzhou, deal with the sugar business, and then go north to Jinling." ”

Fu Qiufang frowned and said, "It's not easy to travel this way. ”

In the former Ming Dynasty, the two Guang raised their sons to Beijing to take the exam, and the road was more than three months, and as little as two and a half months. When you arrive in Dashun, it is still about the same time to take the land route, but it will save a lot by sea. Now the north wind is still blowing, at this time to the south, smooth wind and water, from Jinmen to Guangzhou about half a month to 20 days.

If it's a headwind, it will take a few more days.

Li Weijian said: "It is to divide the soldiers into two ways, I will go to Guangzhou first, and then Qingwen and Xiangling will take a boat and carry things to Jinling slowly." ”

Where is Fu Qiufang? said: "The master can't be short of people around him." ”

Li Weijian smiled and hugged Fu Qiufang, reached out and pinched a strand of hair to play, and said, "At this time last year, I was just a poor talent, and I didn't have to do everything by myself?" ”

Fu Qiufang didn't listen at all, and said: "Xiu Ying has practiced martial arts and can ride horses, so why don't you let Xiu Ying follow the master." ”

"Well, let's talk about it. Today, I went to the prince to ask when I would be able to leave. ”

The two of them thought about it, and they got up to get dressed, washed, and eat. On this day, Li Weijian went to the inner mansion early, saw King Zhongyong, and said that he was going south, King Zhongyong seemed to be extremely busy, but he impatiently sent Li Weijian home to wait.

Waiting to get home? Well, let's go home.

Thanks to Li Weijian's quick return, he arrived home just a cup of tea, and the housekeeper Wu Haiping came to report that Director Zheng of the Sealing and Sealing Department next door led people to find the door.

Li Weijian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted the general. The two spoke briefly, and then Director Zheng smiled and unfolded a holy decree: "Lord Li, hurry up and set up an incense case to welcome the holy decree." ”

Li Weijian was slightly surprised, and hurriedly ordered people to set up incense tables, and then listened to the Zheng chief read in a subdued voice: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict: "The cultivators of the temple will be able to teach their sons righteousness, so they praise the ministers and virtuous, and favor their fathers, so as to teach the ...... It is specially presented as the director of Chengde Lang and Du Yu Division, and uses Su Su to comfort filial piety. ”

"Edict said: Since the old lady of the boudoir, she must not be entrusted to the world, but the filial son is loyal and dutiful, in the name of marriage, pushing grace and light, and he has heard of it...... Shude is prominent. It is to use the gift for the people, only inherit the Huadian, and benefit the Kun.

Chin this. ”

After the holy decree was read, Li Weijian kowtowed to the mountain and shouted long live. I can't help but secretly wonder, and I don't know what procedure this posthumous gift takes, I said a few months ago that I wanted to posthumously give it, but it was not implemented until today.

At this time, filial piety is greater than the sky, and the parents are posthumously gifted, one is the Chengde Lang of the sixth grade, and the other is the six-grade Anren, and the others will be overjoyed, which can be described as the glory of the ancestors. However, Li Weijian really didn't feel it in his heart.

It stands to reason that he is a baron of the second grade, and he will catch up step by step after this posthumous gift, and if he makes a great contribution, he will also posthumously give three generations, even the cheap grandfather who has never met has a share.

Li Weijian scolded in his heart, got up to take the holy decree, and asked Director Zheng to enter the story.

Director Zheng said: "I live next to the lord, and I can talk at any time, so if the lord is settled first, we will talk when we are free in the future." ”

"It's fine."

Sending Director Zheng out of the house and returning to the inner house, he was beaming with joy up and down. Fu Qiufang urged the incense case to be placed in the family temple, and respectfully offered the posthumous holy decree, and put on tribute, incense and candles, which can be regarded as comforting the spirit of the two elders in the sky.

If so, Li Weijian had just come out of the family temple, and Wu Haiping hurriedly came over: "Master, Liang Langzhong of the Inner Mansion has arrived, and now he is using tea in the side hall." Looking at Liang Langzhong, he smiled on his face, thinking that it should be a good thing. ”

Li Weijian bowed his head, hurriedly turned the side garden, and arrived at the side hall in the front yard. He and Liang Langzhong are old acquaintances, and after a brief recount, Liang Langzhong instructed the little official to send the official certificate, the seal letter, and the letter of appointment.

Unfolded the official letter, but saw that it was written that this time Li Weijian was meritorious because of the east wind, and because he was promoted to two levels, he was moved to the post of Ji Shilang.

It will be an accountant and take charge of the accounts of various ministries of the government. Li Weijian has made meritorious contributions repeatedly, and his promotion is supposed to be intended, but when he hangs on the Huiji Division, it has no meaning.

After reading the letter of appointment, Liang Langzhong said: "The palace also instructed before leaving, and the lord will go to wait for His Majesty early in the morning." The saint has seen it, and the lord can set the period of going south. ”

After thanking Liang Langzhong for sending the official certificate, and leaving him to drink a cup of tea, Li Weijian got up and sent him away. This errand of the inner mansion is originally a family affair of the Son of Heaven, and the clan was in charge of the inner mansion before, so it is natural to bypass the inspection of the officials and make steady progress.

In the blink of an eye, Li Weijian has become the Langzhong of the fifth grade, and the old man Jia Zheng of the Rongguo Mansion is now just a member of the fifth grade. I don't know how the old man Jia Zheng will feel when he learns about this.

In one day, he first chased his parents, and in a blink of an eye, he was promoted to an official, and the whole house was full of joy. Qingwen, Xiangling, etc., just wanted to hold a banquet and invite the troupe to celebrate; Fu Qiufang and Hongyu were extremely excited.

Lang Zhong of the fifth grade! Even if there is no title inheritance, the lord can also wear a red robe by relying on his official body! Hongyu secretly rejoiced in her heart, thanks to her discerning eyes like a torch, she recognized the thrifty fourth master early, otherwise she would be getting older in the future, and she would be matched with a boy, where is the blessing and scenery today?

Fu Qiufang is another mixed taste, this way is a desperate and helpless move, but unexpectedly, the lover next to the pillow is on the rise, and at such an age, he has become a five-grade Langzhong. Thinking that her brother went to the camp in all directions, he worked hard for more than ten years but was just a six-grade pusher, and the person next to him was promoted two levels after only half a year, and he was really like falling into a dream, and he still feels incredible when he thinks about it.

Fu Qiufang has a gentle and demure temperament, and only thinks about her husband and children. Now there is no heir, and the lover doesn't need to bother to assist, and then the happiness that he had been thinking about for twenty years suddenly fell on Fu Qiufang's head, which caught him off guard, and his heart was quite inexplicable.

After being in a trance for a while, Fu Qiufang came back to her senses, and discussed with Hongyu to take silver barley seeds and golden melon seeds, and reward them to the subordinates who came to congratulate them. and set up a wine to invite the troupe.

When Hongyu asked if she wanted to post to relatives and friends, she was hurriedly stopped by Li Weijian. He now thought about going south, and if the news spread, it would surely cause a lot of guests, but he was afraid that it would be a few days before he could leave. Li Weijian is pressed for time, where is he still impatient to be sent like this?

He only said to everyone: "I am young now, and I have been rewarded repeatedly, and then I publicize it loudly, I am afraid that I will arouse the envy of others." It's just a Langzhong in the inner house, what should not be anything, let's just have a drink behind closed doors. ”

Fu Qiufang knew that he was the most taboo in the officialdom, and he was still in the golden mean, seeing that his lover was rewarded and kept to his heart, a pair of charming eyes flashed beautifully, and he said: "What the master said is, let's celebrate behind closed doors." ”

For a long time, the Li family did not mention eating and watching dramas. In the evening, Fu Qiufang was emotional, and it was rare to take the initiative, during which there were poems as evidence: the first bath in Qingxing soup, and the new wine in the sun; Just because he was trapped and invaded Lang Shan, he won the Yijia brocade tent.

……………………………………………………

The next day, Li Weijian went to the imperial city early in the morning to wait for him.

After the court meeting, there was a small yellow door to lead the courtiers of Hou Jian into one by one. When it was close to noon, he was led around by the small yellow door and entered the imperial study.

Li Weijian lowered his head and entered the inside, raised his eyes to catch a glimpse of a red figure, and hurriedly saluted: "Minister Li Weijian greets the saint!" ”

Emperor Zhenghe put aside his pen and ink, glanced at his chin and said: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and my resurrection seems to have grown a little taller." ”

Li Weijian said: "The minister himself didn't pay attention. ”

"Some things are like this, the authorities are confused." Emperor Zhenghe got up and paced with his hands, and then gave way: "Move a Jindun." ”

Dai Quan hurriedly responded and sent Xiao Huangmen to move to Jindun. Li Weijian thanked him and sat down, and then raised his eyes to look at the saint. I haven't seen him for a few months, but the color of his clothes has changed, and the saint has shown his imperial bearing. Only Dai Quan was left to serve in the imperial study, but Yuan Chun, who I saw last time, was not here.

At this time, Emperor Zhenghe said: "I heard that Fusheng is sure to go south and create another water service?" ”

Li Weijian arched his hand and said: "Enlightened sage, the minister looked through the case files of the government over the years, and saw that the purchase of frosted sugar in Xiyi every year in Guangzhou has been increasing, and the price of frosted sugar has not decreased in 30 years, but has given a few dollars.

If this method is done properly, the imperial court can open up the remote land into sugarcane fields, and for a period of ten years, the cane sugar service in the future will definitely far surpass the Jingshi water service, earning at least 10 million taels of silver per year. ”

"Ten years—" Emperor Zhenghe frowned slightly.

Li Weijian observed his words and thoughts, and secretly thought in his heart, yes, in the summer and autumn, he will start a war with Dzungaria, and this war will start, and the money and grain will be spent like a stream. The saint was afraid that he would not be able to wait that long, so he wanted a quick sum of money.

Li Weijian made a little calculation, thinking about the cement matter, repairing the river, and expanding the fertile land, this is a big killer for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is impossible for him Li Weijian to take the majority of the money privately. Rather than being slandered by the emperor afterwards, it is better to spit in front of him now.

Because Li Weijian gave up his hand again: "In addition to the sugar business, the minister also asked the sage to make a decree to allow the minister to establish a cement business." ”

"Cement?"

Li Weijian said: "The former minister visited the teacher, and the teacher remembered the hardships and difficulties of the people of Huanghuai, and planned to repair the river with great expense, because he was very nostalgic. The minister turned around and thought about it, thinking that since the Sanhe soil was extremely strong, could he use the Sanhe soil to build a dam to relieve the flood? ”

Emperor Zhenghe smiled and bowed his head: "It's hard for Yan Qing to think what the people think, but it is resurrected, this move is quite whimsical...... Forehead...... Could it be that there is something to be gained from resurrection? ”

"Exactly."

Emperor Zhenghe perked up and asked, "Oh? What's the gain? ”

"Hui saints, the ministers use lime, clay, and crushed iron slag to crush and calcinate, and the resulting gray powder, when it encounters water and stones, will be comparable to rocks after a few days, and it is not afraid of rain."

"Is there such a thing?" Emperor Zhenghe was taken aback: "Is it really as hard as a rock?" ”

Li Weijian said: "Uh...... I'm afraid it's a little inferior. However, with pebbles, sand, and bamboo tendons mixed with cement, the stones built are not limited to repairing the city or renovating the river, and it is expected to be enough. Calculating the cost of throwing can save at least 60%. ”

"Good, good!"

Li Weijian said: "The minister will go to Liangguang to run the sugar business first, and when he is successful, he will immediately go north to Jiangnan and find a place to start a cement business." If the saint allows the minister to raise funds and shares in Jiangnan, he can't-"

Can't say anything? It's another Jingshi Water!

Emperor Zhenghe frowned and waved his hands, pacing back and forth with his negative hands. After a while, Emperor Zhenghe asked: "Resurrection, can this cement recipe be easy to keep secret?" ”

Li Weijian said truthfully: "Back to the saint, I'm afraid this matter is not easy. The things used in cement are nothing more than lime, clay, and crushed iron filings, and the cement has to be calcined in a kiln, although outsiders don't know it for a while, but after repeated experiments, sooner or later they will guess the recipe. ”

"Hmm-"

Emperor Zhenghe secretly thought to himself, what about Huang Huai, who was trapped in the flood? Whenever the magistrate took office, he would gather the money of the local magnates and raise money to repair bridges and roads, which would not only earn fame but also obtain real deeds, so as to kill two birds with one stone.

However, there are still a few competent magistrates after all, and most of the magistrates arrived at the place, and Zhang Luo saw that there were few responders, so he simply mixed up his life.

Counting on the government to pay? Oh, every year in the summer and autumn taxes, most of the head is extracted from the top, and even the money of the six-room officials is from the fire, where is the extra money to clean up the flood?

Li Weijian made cement is good, but this silver money-

Li Weijian observed the sage's expression, and hurriedly explained the follow-up methods and dishes, and the sage was dumbfounded. A small cement, it sounds like it's not complicated to build, Emperor Zhenghe only thought about building fortresses on the grassland and the Hanhai Sea at first, and if it spreads all the way, sooner or later the Dzungar thieves will be besieged to death. Later, he thought about building embankments, bridges, and even roads, but he never connected them with the fertile land!

Building an embankment with cement and then selling the fertile land obtained in the future only needs to be a precedent first, and the cement business will be spread out as quickly as a snowball.

Although after opening up a place, it is not as profitable as water affairs, but even if it is a hammer deal, Dashun is so vast, and it will take many years to spread out in Jiangnan alone. If the price of the high-grade paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River is ten taels, if 10 million mu is silted out, wouldn't it be hundreds of millions of taels of silver?

With such a method, Tao Zhu is still alive, right?

Emperor Zhenghe was ecstatic in his heart, and he only felt that God had given Li Weijian to assist him in achieving great causes. Because it is more and more pleasing to the eye to see Li Weijian, it is not that the age of several princesses is really not the same as Li Weijian, and the emperor wants to marry the princess!

Peers don't intermarry? Joke, the Li family in Guanlong is far from the Li family in Huguang! Relatives are not allowed to interfere in politics? If the concubine next to him can also have the ability of Li Weijian, Emperor Zhenghe will also let him be an official!

Suddenly, I thought that my brother's baby daughter Mengqing was the same age as her, but the daughter of King Zhongyong was a slave and a daughter baby, and bluntly said that she would never marry before the age of eighteen...... Li Weijian was in his twenties by then, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to wait that long.

Well, that's a matter for later.

Emperor Zhenghe came back to his senses and said, "Resurrection is a great good!" This time I went south, I gave you the banner of the king's order, and supervised the two affairs of sugar and cement. ”

The king's flag? Dashun is not a Manchu Qing Dynasty, there is no Shangfang sword, this royal order banner is Qin, to put it bluntly, it is Qincha, and the official is one level bigger.

Li Weijian was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed: "The minister thanked the saint." ”

But Jianzheng and Emperor Wu were not at ease, and said: "In addition to this, I will send another sentry to the Beijing camp to protect the recovery along the way." I will give you two more handwritten letters, and if you encounter difficulties in the local area, you can take my handwritten letters to find the local governor. ”

This time it was Li Weijian's turn to be worried, and he thought: "Sage, the minister's time to go south this time is short, but I am afraid that I will not see great results." ”

Emperor Zhenghe made a blank face and said, "How can I not know the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it? Resurrection is thoughtful, and there are many strange ideas, this time I have the power to you, just let it go. ”

Li Weijian breathed a sigh of relief, and then thanked him. Later, the monarch and the minister said something for a while, seeing that the time was really not early, Dai Quan on the side reminded him again and again, and Emperor Zhenghe remembered that he had set a noon with the concubine today, so he sent Dai Quan to send Li Weijian out of the palace.

Dai Quan held the dust in his hand, smiled and led the two little yellow gatekeepers Li Weijian out of the palace, and stopped at the palace gate to watch with a smile.

When he turned around, the little yellow door beside him said, "Godfather, look at this posture, this Master Li is just popular." ”

"Popular?" Dai Quan sneered: "How can a character like Lord Li use the word popular?" ”

"That's—"

Dai Quan lowered his voice and said: "I'll teach you a good job today, and you will look back, ten or twenty years, this Master Li will be a real tumbler!" ”

Xiao Huangmen couldn't help but secretly speak, and said: "Godfather, Master Li is related to Rongguo Mansion, so in this way, isn't that the Jia family-"

"You know what?" Dai Quan scolded: "The Jia family is the Jia family, and Lord Li is Lord Li." After a pause, his voice was lowered, and he said, "Let's put it this way, if the Jia family rebels at this time, this Lord Li will not report it even if he knows about it...... I'm afraid that the saint will turn a blind eye, understand? ”

The two little yellow doors were suddenly dumbfounded. If the rebellion is not reported, such a serious crime will not be punished? This Lord Li is more than a tumbler, he is simply a Dinghai God Needle!

……………………………………………………

said that the freshly baked tumbler Li Weijian came out of the palace, and he was immediately full of ambition. There was not much time left for him, and he had to take care of the sugar and cement business within five months, during which he had to take time to go back to Jinling to see his uncle, and even to Yangzhou.

In this case, the time must be carefully calculated. Out of the palace city, Li Weijian's heart is hot, where is he impatient to take the carriage at this time? drove Ding Rusong to take the carriage, and he rode the horse himself to beat the horse and left.

It was still early at this time, and the teacher Yan Xiyao was afraid that he had not let go of the ya, because Li Weijian went to the outer city on horseback, and delivered all the drawings of the pot camel engine and the next-generation steam engine that had been prepared long ago.

On this day, according to Li Weijian's instructions, the craftsman used the steam engine to drive the boring machine, and tested it slightly, unless there were some waste cutter heads, which would break from time to time at high speed, and everything else was fine.

Just a knife head, Li Weijian presided over the reverberation stirring furnace to refine a bunch of high-carbon steel, and he was worried that there was no place to use it, so he simply made it into a knife head.

Li Weijian called the three managers of the factory again, carefully explained the production plan of the past few months after he left, and then left.

When Shen was approaching, Li Weijian arrived at Yanfu.

After waiting for a while, he waited for Yan Xiyao, the teacher who returned to the mansion. The two of them entered the study, the servants served fragrant tea, and Li Weijian said that he would face the saint and say his resignation.

"Resurrection, this is leaving? Why are you so eager? Yan Xiyao said.

Li Weijian smiled bitterly: "Time is not waiting for me." If the disciple can't come back within five months, then the war won't be able to catch up. The prince agreed earlier, saying that he would take me to Qinghai to earn some military merits. ”

Yan Xiyao was dumbfounded: "Military merit? Why is this the resurrection? ”

Li Weijian said incorrectly: "Isn't it that if the title rises further, you have to have military merits." ”

Yan Xiyao suddenly cried and laughed: "The old man is still counting on the resurrection of the Empress Zhishi to take charge of the government, how can he be resurrected to be a noble?" ”

Li Weijian said: "The teacher's words are wrong, when Taishang was in power, there was a Jia Banchao." Who said that the nobles were not allowed to take charge of the government? ”

Yan Xiyao snorted coldly with a straight face: "Jia Banchao? What about the Jia family now? Resurrection has always been far-sighted, why did he get confused when it came to the title? In all dynasties, the nobles are only two beautiful dynasties, and then they are not the military with literature? It is really unwise to be a nobleman of Raushzi when he is resurrected, and he has to go to the battlefield to fight for his life! ”

After a pause, Yan Xiyao said again: "No, Resurrection has always acted prudently, why are you so eager in this matter?" Could it be that there is something else going on? ”

Li Weijian sighed in his heart, knowing that he couldn't hide his teacher, he thought about it for a while, and changed his words: "The teacher also knows that the Qinghai war is related to Dingge. If we are defeated, I am afraid of the saints and the new deal...... The teacher also knows that the student is from a practical learning background, and if a saint does not recognize the real learning in the future, won't the disciple end up in a bamboo basket for water?

Thinking about how significant Wang Xue was in the pre-Song Dynasty, Wang Xue has been in the limelight for decades, and this real learning is not even comparable to Wang Xue. ”

Yan Xiyao stared at Li Weijian and saw that he didn't seem to be a fake, so he said: "But the ability to resurrect is not in the war, so what's the use of going?" ”

Li Weijian was energetic and said: "The teacher doesn't know, the disciple is also quite accomplished in military affairs. The new firearms, the new gun mounts, the range table, and the newly built Dongfeng rockets are not the boasts of the disciples, if the disciples lead an army alone, although they don't know if they can win, at least they won't lose the battle. ”

Yan Xiyao blinked, and suddenly blew his beard and glared: "Huangkou Xiaoer, full of nonsense!" ”

Li Weijian suddenly smiled. The teacher is such a person, the closer the person, the more scolded. If it is a sworn enemy, Yan Xiyao just smiled on his face, and secretly calculated in his heart.

Seeing that the persuasion did not move, Yan Xiyao thought that there were still a few months left and right, so it was better to talk about it then. Because he turned to say: "You go south this time, take a trip to Yangzhou, and take a look at Lin Yansi on your behalf." ”

Li Weijian was stunned and said, "Lin Yansi...... Isn't it bad? ”

Yan Xiyao shook his head and sighed, and said: "In the winter moon, Lin Ruhai, the head of the salt department, was seriously ill, and the sage was shocked, so he hurriedly sent an imperial doctor to Yangzhou. Now that there is the imperial doctor to take care of her, Ruhai's condition is still good and bad, but I am afraid of ......"

Li Weijian frowned with Yan Xiyao, for some reason, he only felt a little pity for Lin Ruhai in his heart, and then worried about Daiyu.

After a while, it wasn't until Yan Xiyao called a few times that Li Weijian came back to his senses.

Without waiting for Yan Xiyao to ask, Li Weijian bowed his hand and said, "Teacher, the disciple has one more thing to ask for." ”

Yan Xiyao said: "You can say it." ”

Li Weijian said that Yan Xiyao was stunned when he heard it. "You...... Have you thought about it? Yan Xiyao said: "I heard that Miss Lin has been weak since she was a child, and it is not certain whether she can grow up in the future." ”

"Teacher, the disciple has made up his mind."

Seeing this, Yan Xiyao had no choice but to bow his head and say, "Well, come to me before leaving, I have to think about how to write this letterhead." ”

Li Weijian breathed a sigh of relief, and said something for a while, and then Shi Shiran returned to his home.

……………………………………………………

In the next day, the Li family was busy, either packing their bags or buying tuyi, Fu Qiufang and Hongyu stayed in Beijing, because they were rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and found all the spring and summer clothes they needed.

It doesn't matter if you rummage through it, although the spring shirt is half-new and not old, no matter the material or style, it is not worthy of Li Weijian now. Because Fu Qiufang was in a hurry to make new clothes for Li Weijian.

Fortunately, the materials are ready-made, and when they are taken from the warehouse, Qingwen will take over, and there is no need for others to help them, and they can make a set of clothes in one day. The hand is so skillful that the women are amazed.

Li Weijian was not idle this day, he first went to the Yamen to order Mao, and before noon, he left the Duyu Division, and went to Rongguo Mansion on horseback.

He always has to return to Jinling when he goes south, and his relatives are there, so he always has to inform Rongguo Mansion and ask what he should bring.

When he arrived at the Derong Mansion, Jia Zheng had not let go of the government at this time, Li Weijian went straight through the Neiyi Gate and went to Jia's mother's house.

Just after passing the weeping flower gate, he bumped into Wang Xifeng, who had just come out.

"Brother Frugal?" Wang Xifeng saw Li Weijian, and his face was immediately happy.

I didn't sleep that day, Wang Xifeng muttered in her heart, her aunt is not easy to get along with, if she made money afterwards and was really taken up by the public school, wouldn't it be for nothing to make wedding clothes for others?

And the dowry is not so easy to sell, such as the face jewelry, gold collar and the like, keep some commonly used, and you can't see less when you are free. The shop and the grange are all on paper, and if they are gone, they will definitely attract attention.

Count it, but if you can make up seven or eight thousand silver, Jia Lian has now gone to Yangzhou again, and she can't count on it at all, how can this be good? Wang Xifeng has been thinking about it for the past few days, and has been thinking about finding a partner who is not bad for money to run this business.

Today, I suddenly saw Li Weijian, and suddenly my heart suddenly dawned, isn't it right in front of me that I am not bad for money! How much does the thrifty brother's family have more than one million? A little leakage in his fingers is enough for Wang Xifeng to take it to run a greenhouse to make a living.

"Second sister-in-law."

Wang Xifeng smiled when he got closer: "Why did Brother Jian come here today?" ”

"Second sister-in-law, I have been sent, and I will go south in a few days. Bacheng will stay in Jinling for a while, no, hurry up and tell the old lady that if there is anything to bring, I will bring it by the way. ”

Wang Xifeng was shocked: "Brother Thrifty is leaving?" When will you be back? ”

Li Weijian wondered in his heart, how could this Sister Feng care so much about herself? He replied, "I won't be able to return until mid-June." ”

It's not yet February, wouldn't it be half a year to calculate this one-time trip?

Wang Xifeng turned around, and walked in with Li Weijian: "Yo, you have been going for so long?" ”

Li Weijian said: "The second sister-in-law doesn't have to accompany me......"

"It's okay, Brother Jian also knows, this house is full of trivial things, and it shouldn't be anything sooner or later. Brother Jian wants to travel far away, which is a big deal. ”

While talking, the two hugged Xia and entered the Rongqing Hall. At this time, Jia's mother was about to use noon, and the mandarin duck reported it, Jia's mother put down her chopsticks, turned her head, and saw Li Weijian and Wang Xifeng walking in together.

Since Li Weijian was knighted, Jia's mother became more and more kind to him, because she smiled and said: "Brother Jian is here?" Come on, I'm worried that I can't eat this lunch, so come and eat some of it. ”

Li Weijian thanked him: "Hey, then thank the old lady." ”

The mandarin duck smiled and led Li Weijian to clean his hands.

By the time Li Weijian had cleaned his hands, Wang Xifeng had already told Jia's mother about the matter. Jia Mu was surprised: "Brother Jian wants to go back to Jinling?" ”

"It's an errand going south, and I'll probably pass by Jinling."

Jia Mu said: "If it's cheap, Brother Jian will help bring some clay instruments along the way." ”

Jia's family has 20 rooms, 12 of which live in Jinling's hometown. I can't write two Jia characters in one stroke, if it is inconvenient to come and go, it is just that, someone piggybacks on it, and I want to write a letter and bring some clay instruments.

Li Weijian smiled and agreed, and Mother Jia asked again: "When does Brother Jian plan to leave?" ”

"Probably the day after tomorrow."

"So eager?"

Wang Xifeng said: "Don't forget, the old ancestor, the thrifty brother is still an errand." ”

Jia Mu said: "This is the only way to get the letter?" ”

"I only got it yesterday."

"I don't think Brother Jian has ever prepared, so you don't have to talk to me at noon, hurry up and go home to prepare."

Li Weijian responded with a smile, then used some pastries, and got up to say goodbye. He had just left Rongqing Hall, and Wang Xifeng chased after him from behind.

"Brother Jian, I'll send you."

Li Weijian bowed his head, paused slightly, and waited for Wang Xifeng to catch up, and the two walked side by side. He is a human spirit, Wang Xifeng is so eager, where can he not see it?

Because he smiled and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with the second sister-in-law?" ”

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Brother Jian...... I'm still living for the greenhouse. ”

Li Weijian slowed down slightly, and Wang Xifeng said: "It's not a secret, I don't have any money here, so I want to join forces with Brother Jian." ”

Li Weijian asked: "How much money is missing from the second sister-in-law?" ”

Wang Xifeng frowned and calculated: "This Zhuangzi is ready-made, but the glass is expensive." If you do the math, you will need seven or eight thousand pieces of silver. ”

After a pause, Wang Xifeng was about to say something about the side, and saw Li Weijian bowing his head and saying: "Such a little silver, I will talk to Qiu Fang when I turn around, and the second sister-in-law will send someone to discuss with Qiu Fang." ”

Wang Xifeng was dumbfounded...... Seven or eight thousand silver, this is a nod?

Happy New Year's Day, everyone!!
