May day, mild and comfortable. But Wu Kuo was as if he had been roasted in the fire. He was sweating all over.
Wu Kuo joined Yuxi a long time ago. Before Jiangnan came down, he smuggled salt, tea, horses and other hot goods. With Yuxi and Yunqing as the backing, Wu Kuo has made a lot of money in these years, though it is divided into two or eight parts. Later, Jiangnan was beaten down by Yunqing. It was impossible for him to do smuggling business. Wu Kuo changed to do silk and satin, grain, porcelain and other businesses, the annual profit is also very considerable. Now Yuxi suddenly talks about the business in Jiangnan, and it seems that he is greedy for a lot of money, how can he not be nervous.
Kneeling on the ground, Wu Kuo called Yuan: "princess, I can learn from your loyalty to the Lord and the princess. It must be the villain who makes trouble and slanders the minister. If the princess doesn't believe it, she can send someone to investigate. " Wu Kuo looks like Yuxi doesn't believe that he will die.
Yu Xi chuckled, "Lord Wu, I'm just saying it casually. You don't have to take it seriously."
If Yunqing said this, wukuo would believe it. Yuxi, he is ten thousand do not believe this. Such a deep-seated person would not casually mention Jiangnan affairs to him.
When Wu Kuo got up, Yuxi said again, "Jinyu came to see me today and said he would like to go in. Do you know about this?"
Wu said with a broad bow: "it's a blessing for the great princess to see the dog. I'm glad that this kid didn't know it before, but now he can figure it out
Yuxi said with a chuckle, "I have four brothers, AHAO and areui, with the king. How can I recruit a son-in-law? These are all jujube girls, you don't have to be serious. "
Wu Kuo's heart was thumping. He couldn't figure out the meaning of Yuxi's words. He could only say with a stiff head: "the prince is very intelligent, and they are all dragons and phoenixes."
Yuxi smiled and said, "Jinyu's child is pure and good-natured. My girl is also a careless girl. In this respect, the two children are quite similar."
Wu Kuo said hurriedly, "my little son is not only a servant of flowers and plants, but also a master of Arts and martial arts. He is already a thousand adults of five grades at a young age." Now he is just a doctor of five kinds, and he is still a virtual job, not as powerful as jujube.
Speaking of jujube, Yuxi said more: "this child's ambition is to become a female general, and he has been working hard for this ambition since he was three years old. These days, even if they are locked in the yard, their martial arts will not fall down day by day. They need to practice for two or three hours a day. " With that, Yuxi also sighed: "it's a pity that she cast the wrong baby. If the man can realize her ambition."
Wu Kuo said respectfully, "the great princess has such perseverance. Weichen believes that even if she is a daughter, she can also realize her dream." If it is a general woman, it is impossible to achieve this ambition. But who can make a big Princess give birth? It's not too hard for her to become a female general with parents like Prince and princess.
Yu Xi glanced at Wu Kuo, still smiling with the signboard: "it's not easy for a woman to survive, and it's more difficult for her to make achievements, so I hope she can get what she wants."
Wu Kuo said with a positive face, "definitely."
At this time, Xu Wu raised his voice outside the living room and said: "princess, the prince has a letter to deliver. "
that's the end of the conversation.
Since leaving pickaxe City, Yunqing has kept the frequency of one letter every three days. If anything, one a day. The contents of the letter include business, local folk customs and anecdotes. This change was also influenced by Mr. Pang. In the letter, Yunqing mainly talked about the situation in the West Sea. At the end of the letter, he said he would come back in a few days.
After reading the letter, Yuxi said with a smile, "it's just right to come back." Jujube date engagement is also a major event. It's a pity that Yunqing, the father, is not here.
When Wu Kuo got home, he immediately called his staff to discuss the meaning of what Yuxi said to him.
"My Lord, the princess means that she can marry the princess to the second young master, but she wants the Wu family to support her with money," Zhang said
After a pause, Zhang said: "Sir, in the years of war, it's said that the official storehouse and the private storehouse are empty, and millions of troops are supported by several silver mines. Master, if you want to welcome the princess, I'm afraid it's going to bleed a lot. " If you want to marry a big princess, you have to pay at least half of it.
These don't need to be said by Zhang's staff. Wu Kuo himself can think of: "the princess told me that her ambition is to become a female general, and she has been working hard for this. Why do you think she said these words to me?" In fact, Wu Kuo has ideas in his mind, but he is not sure.
Zhang thought for a moment and said, "if the big princess married the second young master, if she really became a female general, she would definitely have a title in the future." When the princess married the second young lady, her future title would naturally be passed on to her children, and finally to the Wu family.
Speaking of this, Zhang staff looked at Wu Kuo and said nothing. The princess was drawing a cake for the master.
Wu Kuo frowned and said, "swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield..." In case of a big princess's accident in the battlefield, he will hand over all his family, and then it will be nothing. But now the problem is that since the princess has revealed this meaning, she will not give him any more room to refuse.
"Don't worry too much about it," said Zhang. "The princess is the daughter of the prince and the princess. She will not fight, and she should not be in danger of life." It's just a matter of common sense. In fact, no one can guarantee that things on the battlefield will change rapidly.
Wu Kuo gave a wry smile and let Zhang go. He stayed in the house for most of the day. He is not considering whether to answer Yuxi's request, but trying to explain himself.
In the afternoon, Wu Kuo went back to the backyard to find Fang's family and said, "the princess means to let the princess marry Jin Yu."
Fang's heart was always hanging when Wu Kuo went out. When Wu Kuo came back, she couldn't come to the front yard again, which made her more uneasy. She would hear the news with a smile on her face, but soon realized that she was wrong: "why did the princess change her mind? Is there any reason? "
Wu Kuo looked at Fang's family, and his voice was very low: "the condition for the big princess to marry is the family background of Wu's family." Of course, what Yuxi wanted was not Wu's business, but Wu Kuo's family background. As for how much money Wu Kuo has in his hand, Yuxi has a general idea.
Fang said with some surprise, "do you want Wu's family background? When we split up, Wu Qian took over all the industries. We also divided the shops and didn't get much money. How much money have we saved in the private bank of the princess
After saying this, Fang's heart suddenly broke. Although she didn't deal with Yuxi many times, she also knew that Yuxi was definitely not the person with shallow eyes. If only one million eight hundred thousand Liang silver was not worth her to open this mouth. Thinking of this, Fang's face was a little white: "master, do you have something to hide from me?"
Wu Kuo's eyes were very complicated. After a long time, he said, "when my father was alive, he would save a sum of silver every year." Wu Meng is a man with a sense of hardship. He was mainly afraid of his descendants' failure to win, so he wanted to leave a sum of money. If his descendants have the ability to rise again, they have capital.
At the beginning, Wu Meng's deposit was 350000 yuan. Later, Wu's family won the monopoly of many profitable industries. The annual import and export payments reached several million yuan, leaving a balance of 350000 yuan. But Wu Meng, who has been the richest man in Jiangnan for more than 20 years, has accumulated a large sum of money that Lian Yuxi knows is all in love with.
Fang's whole person was silly and asked, "master, is the previous rumor true?" At the beginning, there was a rumor that Wu Meng had hidden a huge sum of money. However, with Wu Meng's sudden death, Wu Qian seized his family property, and then Wu Kuo was far away from the south of the Yangtze River, the rumor of the huge sum of money was not clear.
Wu Kuo nodded and said, "it's true. When my father knew that his second brother was under the control of Yu, he told me about it for fear of accidents. " After a pause, Wu Kuo said, "although Wu Qian has taken over his family business, his father realized that he was wrong and transferred most of the money. Wu Qian didn't get much money." He knew only a few loyal servants where the money was kept.
Fang's lips wriggled several times before he asked in a very subtle voice, "how much silver is there?" There was a slight tremor in the voice.
Wu Kuo looked at Fang and said, "nearly ten million."
Hearing this number, the rich and noble Fang family could not help but take a breath of cold air. Ten million silver, no wonder the princess will be moved.
After a long time, Fang said, "how does the princess know such a secret thing? Is she cheating you? " As Wu Kuo's pillow man, she didn't know that the princess could never find out about it. If one or two million taels of silver were given up, they would also be given up. But when the nearly ten million taels were handed over, Fang's heart ached.
Fang doesn't think about it. If it's only one or two million yuan, it's not worth Yuxi to open this mouth.
Wu Kuo said: "the princess said that the big princess's ambition is to become a female general, which means that when she and the king of Ming get the world, the big princess will get a title. The great princess married to the Wu family, and the title will be the Wu family. "
Fang shook his head and said, "that's what they said, but it will be more than ten years later. No one can guarantee the future unless the princess can give us a guarantee."
Wu Kuo felt that Fang's mind was confused: "guarantee? How could a princess guarantee such a thing? " If it can be guaranteed, it will not be so implicit.
Fang heard this, if a basin of ice water poured down, let her immediately calm down: "so, there is no room for turning?"
Wu Kuo said, "since the princess has already opened her mouth, there is no room for turning around." With that, Wu Kuo looked at Fang's family and said, "it's a big gamble. If you win, you will become a powerful family." As for losing the bet, his father's hard work has been wasted.
Thinking that the mountain like silver just slipped away from her hands, Fang's heart ached.
Wu Kuo told Fang's family about it with his intention: "the great princess is the hope of our Wu family's changing. You often tell Jinyu that the great princess is good, so that their husband and wife can live in harmony, and wait for their marriage to be born as soon as possible." As long as a child is born, even if the big princess has a chance in the battlefield, Ming Wang and Princess Ming will not treat the child lightly.
"I see," Fang whispered
Wu Kuo thought for a moment and said, "when gold and jade become relatives, I will turn his share of the property into a field shop and cash to him. As for the business at home, it will still be left to Jinbo. "
Where can Fang dare to disagree
