Jiangnan in May is always drizzling. At the beginning of the rain, there was still some white light in the sky, and there were large clouds rolled by the wind to the West.
Qiushi stood in front of the window and said, "it's not good in Jiangnan. It always rains." Especially in the rainy season, sometimes the humidity is very heavy in the second half of the month, and it returns to the tide in March and April. Qiu was really not used to it at that time.
Mother Li said with a smile, "it's raining a little more, but it's better here than hocheng. When the old lady came here, she didn't cough again in spring Last winter, Qiu lived in Wenquan Zhuangzi for nearly two months. Even in the severe winter, it was warm as spring.
Qiu Shi en said: "Yuxi has always said that Jiangnan raises people. Before, he was dubious, but now he does." Qiushi can be raised so well. On the one hand, the pleasant climate in the south of the Yangtze River is a good place for people to rest. On the other hand, Qiushi is relaxed with his son. Although Han Jianye is still in Yunnan, Han Jianming is his reassurance.
Mother Li's wrinkled face would be full of smiles: "the princess and the master are filial children, which is the blessing of the old lady." Mother Li is old. She should have lived a happy life. It's just that Qiu is used to her being around, and Li's mother is healthy, so she still stays around. Now mother Li doesn't have to do any errands. She just talks with Qiu.
When Qiu Shi heard this, he thought of a man: "it's more than ten years since we left the capital, and I don't know how Yuru is living in the capital?" Although she was not born, she has been called her mother for more than ten years.
Mother Li shook her head and said, "this old slave is not clear." She doesn't know much about the capital.
It was only more than a year since Qiu's arrival in Jiangnan, but Han Jianming is famous for serving his mother. When Qiu was ill, he took good care of the sick bed and gave porridge and rice to the poor, sick and lonely; On weekdays, I will accompany Qiu Shi to make incense. As long as there is no emergency to deal with in the house, I will accompany Qiu Shi to have dinner. Nowadays, no one in Jiangnan does not know that Han Jianming is a filial son. Of course, some people think that he is fishing for fame, others think that he is for Yuxi. No matter what other people say, Qiu's year in Jiangnan is more comfortable and comfortable, and his body is much better than before.
This day, Han Jianming didn't go out to deal with things in the house, so he naturally came to have lunch at noon.
Qiushi asked him about Yuru: "tomorrow, we have been away from the capital for more than ten years. I don't know how Yuru is getting along?" Her days are much better than in the capital.
Han Jianming was silent and said: "Niang, Yuru died ten years ago." It is better to say that they are implicated than to say that they died of illness.
Not long after Han Jianming fled to Ho City, Zeng Kezhou sent Yuru to an nunnery. Generally, those who are sent to the nunnery are women who have made a big mistake, but those nuns are not good people. If the family has money to send every month, life can be easy, if there is no money to work hard. Yu Ru was pampered and grew up. After she got married, she had no trouble because she had her mother's family to support her. Suddenly fell into such a situation, not to mention the body, but also the heart can not accept, not the next three years to go.
Qiu said Amitabha: "has the eldest son-in-law ever remarried? What about the temperament of the remarried woman and the two children? How about that? " Yuru gave birth to a son and a daughter to the Zeng family.
Han Jianming did not hide from Qiu, said: "nephew a few years ago out of an accident, No. But my niece is engaged. " How can Han Jianming be so well-informed? He remarried for Zeng Kezhou in the Zeng family when Yuru died of illness. He didn't inquire about the steproom's temperament, but the steproom's nephew had an accident when he gave birth to his son. It can't be a coincidence.
When Qiu heard this, she burst into tears: "poor child. It's also because we were not in the capital, and when the Zeng family saw that Yuru didn't have support, they worked hard. " So, if the woman is doing well, she will have to see her parents suck.
Han Jianming disagrees with Qiu's statement. Yuxi didn't have the support of her mother's family when she married Yunqing, but now she's in trouble. They have to rely on Yuxi! Jade such as fall to such a miserable ending, Zeng family is hateful, but the main reason is her own incompetence. However, Han Jianming did not say these words.
Got such a bad news, autumn's mood is very bad, did not eat much at noon. Under Han Jianming's persuasion, he used half a bowl of rice and half a bowl of porridge. After eating, I went to the Buddhist hall to recite sutras to Yuru and her son.
When Han Jianming returns to the front yard, he hears a letter from Yuxi. After reading the letter, Han Jianming was in a good mood. Having been in Jinling for so many years, he never heard of the Wu family's huge treasure. Because Wu Kuo had been working for Yuxi all these years, he had some scruples, so he only sent someone to investigate in private, but he got nothing. Finally, he gave up, but did not expect that the rumor is true.
Seeing this, Han Gao asked with a smile, "master, is there something very happy over there in Ho City?" It must be a great thing to make our master so happy.
As for his confidant, Han Jianming naturally did not hide: "it is true that the rumor about the huge treasure hidden by Wu family is true. Wu Kuo has promised to donate the treasure as military expenditure. "
Han Gao was a little surprised and asked, "what's the reason for Wu Kuo Ruo to donate this treasure now?"
Han Jianming said with a smile: "the princess has got the exact news, and asked Wu Kuo to donate the treasure on the condition that she married Wu Kuo's second son." Han Jianming took it for granted that Yu Xi was a usurper. Whether it's a huge treasure or a rare treasure, it's impossible to keep without enough power. If you don't know the practice, you will be jailed, or your family will be destroyed. Yuxi's way of dealing with it was mild.
Han Gao laughed: "isn't that killing two birds with one stone?" This time, I not only collected a huge amount of treasure, but also solved the marriage of the princess. I don't kill two birds with one stone.
Han Jianming looked at Han Gao and said, "Yuxi loves several children very much. He won't trade them for benefits. This time is also the second young master of the Wu family who jujube first saw. Yuxi just took advantage of the situation And with the temperament of jujube, if she doesn't agree, Yuxi and Yunqing can't force her.
Han Gao immediately changed his words and said, "it's Xiaode who said something wrong. It should be double happiness."
Han Jianming said: "it's really double happiness. Jujube's marriage is settled, so Yuxi must be relieved. " Although jujube is not very old, it is not easy for her to find a satisfactory one.
Han Gao was a little curious: "what's the difference between the second young master of the Wu family and the princess?"
Han Jianming said with a smile: "it's said that he looks very well and is the most beautiful boy in Ho City." As for how good he looks, he has never seen it, but since he has a good reputation, he must be good.
Han Gao looks a little strange. It turns out that what the princess likes is the appearance of others, not the talent.
If you know what Han Gao thinks, Han Jianming said with a smile: "if you just grow well, you may not be able to get into the jujube eye." Zaozao's criterion for choosing a son-in-law is that he is beautiful, obedient and good-natured. It must be that young master Wu's temperament just meets her requirements.
For this standard of jujube, Han Jianming has nothing to pick. Every vegetable and radish has his own love.
The two most important things in war are military pay, grain and grass. Now that military expenditure is available, only grain and grass are left. Yuxi specially told Han Jianming about this, that is to ask him to raise food and grass.
Summoned the staff to come over, Han Jianming told the two people about it, and then asked: "you see, is the princess going to attack the capital?"
Mr. Zhao frowned and said, "my Lord, didn't the princess say that in her letter?"
If said, Han Jianming will not call two people to discuss: "no, the princess only said in the letter let me raise food and grass." It's summer harvest soon, and Yuxi didn't say he wanted it immediately, so it's not difficult.
Mr. Qu said: "since the princess didn't say it, I'm afraid she's not preparing for the attack on the capital." After a pause, Mr. Qu said, "and the conditions for attacking the capital are not mature. I believe the princess must know that." Yan Wushuang was also a promising emperor. He managed Hebei and Shandong well, and his troops were strong. Therefore, to attack the capital is bound to be a fierce battle. And they have been fighting all these years, not only the bank is empty, but also there are many casualties. And conscription will increase the burden of the people, once the attack on the capital is not smooth, it may lead to instability. Therefore, the best thing to do now is to have a truce for three or five years, and then send troops to attack the capital.
Han Jianming also has this suspicion: "if it is not to attack the capital, what do you want so much food and grass for?" If the war happened in Yunnan, Yuxi didn't have to write such a letter.
Mr. Zhao thought for a moment and said, "my Lord, do you think the Lord is going to attack the northern captives?" In recent years, although the northern captivity did not send troops on a large scale, there were often cavalry burning, killing, looting and maltreating at the border, which made the border restless.
When Han Jianming heard this, he suddenly brightened up and said: "I remember that the princess seemed to have said that destroying the northern captivity is the wish of the prince all the time. This time the princess asked her to prepare food and grass for the attack on the northern captives. " If you take Yunqing to the throne first, there will be so many things, Yunqing may not be able to fight personally.
After hearing this, Mr. Qu said, "if this is the wish of the king, it must have been years ago. In this way, the odds are high. "
Han Jianming was not worried about the war, saying: "the Lord never fights a battle that is uncertain." He is very confident in Yunqing. Of course, even if he is defeated, it will not affect the overall situation.
Half a month later, corydalis arrived in Jinling with 2000 elite soldiers. This time, corydalis led her troops to Jinling mainly to escort silver back to Ho City. In case, Guo Xun was followed.
After arriving in Jinling, corydalis first went to see Han Jianming, and then Han Jianming sent someone to help Corydalis dig out the treasure. After digging out, corydalis took Guo Xun to check. Two thirds of the treasure is silver, and another third is gold. Besides, there are several boxes of rare treasures.
Looking at these gold and silver treasures, corydalis couldn't help saying, "the princess of strange way asked me to lead the soldiers to pledge this treasure." Money and silk move people's hearts. If the escorts are greedy, the loss will be great. Don't say how much gold and silver you are greedy for. Just hiding those boxes of rare treasures is a great loss.
Guo Xun knew what Corydalis thought, but he was speechless: "the princess of gold and silver didn't know the number. Didn't the Master Wu Kuo know? Who dares to be greedy for ink. The princess asked you to escort, not for fear that the escorts would go wrong, but for fear that the people in the dark would do something. " These gold and silver treasures can only be loaded by hundreds of carriages, and it will take two months to return to Ho City. It's easy to have problems if we don't have enough precautions for such a long time.
Corydalis said with a smile, "my brother-in-law is right." Because she recognized perilla as her sister, she naturally called Guo Xun her brother-in-law.
Because of the news, Han Jianming has collected enough carriages in the past half a month. It took only three days for the gold and silver to be loaded into the carriage. After a half day's rest, they set out to return to Ho City.
Corydalis led her soldiers to Jinling and escorted nearly a thousand boxes away in a few days, which attracted the attention of many people.
Shi Hua and Fang Xing said: "general, the traces left by those carriages are very deep. The escorts should be heavy objects." Wu Meng's gold and silver containers were made of camphor wood. After the check and acceptance of corydalis and Guo Xun, they sealed the boxes. After they were loaded into the carriage, they sealed the boxes again. The coachman didn't know what was in it.
Fang Xing looked at Shi Hua and said, "if it's a common thing, it won't let the princess fight like this. Nine out of ten of these boxes are filled with gold and silver. "
Shi Hua opened his mouth and said, "no? Thousands of boxes are made of gold and silver, and that's not tens of millions of taels of silver. " That pile is as high as a mountain.
Fang Xing said, "not all the boxes are gold and silver. Some of them may contain other things. "
Shi Hua said: "that's a lot! How did the princess know about such a large number of treasures? "
Many people have heard of the treasure in the Wu family. But Wu Kuo is also working for Yuxi, and even Han Jianming is afraid to attack him, let alone other people.
Fang Xing said with a smile: "who can hide what the princess wants to know from her. But if my guess is right, that's a good thing. With such a large sum of money, the attack on the capital will soon be on the agenda. " At that time, he won't have to stay in Jinling. Although it's very rich here, he doesn't need to be greedy to make his money swell, but money is not his ultimate goal, what he wants is to make achievements.
Shi Hua nodded and said, "it's a good idea for us, but the princess is really good at making money." When I found a huge sum of money in the palace, now I get a huge sum of money from the Wu family. It's a bad fortune. If he knew that these two huge sums of money had something to do with jujube, I'm afraid he didn't think so.
Fang Xing nodded and said, "the princess has not only fortune, but also fortune for her husband. The Lord has married her and will do everything smoothly. " Along with their subordinates, they all follow suit. Who married such a daughter-in-law and didn't hold it up!
