Chapter 838: Nanyang Project
Su Xiaoxiao was born in a poor family and was sold to Qinglou at a young age. Fortunately, she is very competitive, although her appearance is not very outstanding, but she works very hard and has a good piano skill.
It was with this skill that she had a little confidence, so she did not become a cheap prostitute. She is also clean and self-conscious, and has been silently saving money, wanting to redeem herself, and then find someone who is responsible for marrying another woman.
thought that the men in Qinglou would not be good men, but when she was about to redeem herself and leave, she met Liang Lianying, who was infatuated with her. Although Liang Lianying does not have too much talent, he has a true temperament and an infatuation with her.
The position of Oiran was originally a joke, but Liang Lianying took it seriously, and did not hesitate to spend 10,000 gold to win the Oiran for her, thus breaking her heart.
Now, Liang Lianying still has to fight for her position as a wife, which undoubtedly moves her even more. Of course, she knew that if she wanted the Liang family to accept her, it would be very difficult.
When she followed Liang Yizheng, she knew that she had no chance to marry into the Liang family as a wife, and it was even impossible to marry Liang Lianying.
"Lord Lin is polite!"
Yang Chunlai and others stood up to greet them, and the smell of gunpowder that had originally risen was immediately extinguished, and the atmosphere immediately became festive. Now, they can unite with the merchant group to have such confidence, undoubtedly thanks to the person in front of them.
Lin Haoran was in a good mood, and walked to the first seat with a smile and sat down. However, when passing through the hall, she glanced at Su Xiaoxiao suspiciously, especially this woman's eyes were obviously filled with tears.
At first, he thought he had met an admirer, but looking at that sad look, he knew that he was thinking too much.
"Lord Lin, this is my fiancΓ©e Su Xiaoxiao!" Liang Lianying took the initiative to introduce.
Su Xiaoxiao put away the sadness and respectfully said, "The little girl Su Xiaoxiao has seen Lord Futai!" β
Lin Haoran nodded slightly, with his identity, he naturally didn't have to be too polite with these two.
His gaze fell on Liang Yi, who had a stinky face, and combined with Su Xiaoxiao's face, he vaguely guessed what was going on. No matter what era it is, the right match is a good match, and other situations will inevitably have a discordant scene.
"Liang Lianying, you still don't lead this woman down, is it not enough to think that Lao Tzu has lost face?" Liang Yi suddenly broke out, and shouted loudly.
Liang Lianying was a bull temper, and it seemed that he was about to confront his father, but he was pulled by Su Xiaoxiao next to him. It's a strange thing that Liang Lianying, a young man who has always had a fiery temper, has really become docile.
Watching these two people leave, especially Su Xiaoxiao's polite appearance, Yang Chunlai said: "Brother Liang, don't be angry, I think this Su Xiaoxiao is very good!" β
"Brother Yang, are you still helping her speak? This brute has found such a Qinglou woman, I'm almost angry to death now! Liang Yi took a sip of the teacup and said indignantly.
"Lord Lin, what do you think of this woman?" Zhao Fugui asked with a smile.
Lin Haoran knew Liang Yi's mind very well, he was originally born poor, so he naturally wanted his son to become a dragon. It's just that his son Liang Lianying is not a material for studying, and he can't even get a child until now, and now he even wants to marry a dusty woman as his wife, which is naturally what he doesn't want to see.
Lin Haoran was not suitable to make a statement, but thinking of that woman's pitiful appearance, his heart softened and said: "Liang Yi's personality is young and impetuous, and this Su Xiaoxiao should be a smart woman, not hesitating to help a virtuous person!" β
"But...... Her identity doesn't help us! Liang Yi hesitated for a moment and said what was in his heart.
Lin Haoran picked up the teacup and said seriously: "We have been able to develop rapidly, not by anyone, but by the concerted efforts of all of you!" If we really have to rely on who to survive, and rely on the strength of any of our in-laws here, I'm afraid we will come to an end! β
"Lord Lin, that's a good thing! As long as we work together, if we can't do anything, we can't ask anyone at all! Huang Dafu immediately responded loudly, and said to Liang Yi: "Liang Yi, you are not a person who hates the poor and loves the rich, Lianying recognized Su Xiaoxiao, and Su Xiaoxiao can be a virtuous helper, I think you still don't want to beat the mandarin duck." You still have this family affair so that I can drink your wedding banquet and you can hold your grandson earlier! β
Liang Yi didn't say anything, obviously he was moved.
The world is like this, some people seem to be difficult to reach the sky, but a word from a big man can often change the direction and give Su Xiaoxiao a different belonging.
Lin Haoran summoned Yang Chunlai and others to get together, but not only wanted to reunite, but to finalize some things, so he directly said to Yang Chunlai, who was in charge of Nanyang affairs: "Yang Yuanwai, what is the current situation in Nanyang?" β
"Weng Huasong and Chen Zhixiao are in charge of the tortoiseshell plantation, and the young people are really good now, and the project is going very well, and now it is beginning to take shape. We have followed some tribes in Nanyang to carry out the spice trade, and now we have no problem getting tens of thousands of profits a month, but ......" Yang Chunlai said triumphantly, but suddenly said with a distressed look.
Lin Haoran held the teacup and gently plucked the hot tea, and was about to bring the tea to his mouth, when he heard the words, he stopped, looked up and asked suspiciously, "But what?" β
Huang Dafu and the others also looked at Yang Chunlai curiously, and Yang Chunlai replied seriously: "Some chieftains and tribal leaders seem to be unfriendly to us, and even want to rob our ships, and we have already had a few small frictions with them. β
"It's still Lord Lin who has a long-term view, if we want to engage in the spice trade in Nanyang safely and steadily, we really have to deter the Nanyang countries!" Huang Dafu's face was angry, and he said angrily.
Lin Haoran's brows furrowed slightly, he took a sip of tea, and asked Yang Chunlai again: "How is the Invincible Armada built?" β
"Shen Liuye said that if the funds are in place, there is no problem with the three-masted gunboat, but the tortoiseshell and Leizhou are training the recruiters, and I am afraid it will take two months to be effective!" Yang Chunlai replied honestly.
Lin Haoran put down the teacup and said seriously to everyone: "You strive to build the Ignorant Fleet, I will find a suitable reason as soon as possible and ask the imperial court to go to the South Seas in person!" β
Deterring the South Seas has been the most important thing for him in the second half of this year, but he does not want to go to the South Seas as the deputy envoy of Guangdong Patrol, but hopes to go to the South Seas as a messenger.
It's not that the deputy envoy of Guangdong can't deter the countries, but if he goes as a messenger, it will undoubtedly make it easier for him to act, and he can even use this to make an example of the monkeys.
chatted about some other matters, and seeing that the time was about the same, Lin Haoran chose to leave. Originally, he wanted to eat a mooncake with the tiger girl, but the girl came back and brushed her face, and then she didn't know where to go to play.
Sometimes, he really suspects that he is handsome and causes trouble, which dwarfs the ugly girl Tiger Girl, so he is embarrassed to stay at home.
Seeing that the tiger girl was forced away by his handsomeness, he felt that he still gave up his home to the ugly girl Tiger Girl, and he was afraid that he would have to sleep on the streets. He left the mansion in a sedan chair and decided to go to comfort Hua Yingrong, who was empty and lonely at the moment, and let her spend this lonely Mid-Autumn Festival night in happiness.
The sedan chair entered the sedan hall smoothly, but before he arrived at the back house, he heard Hua Yingrong's silver bell-like laughter, and the wild girl Hu Niu turned out to be here to put a sky lantern.
Under the action of heat, the red sky lanterns slowly rose from the patio and rose into the silent night sky, and the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 39th year of Jiajing also drew a successful end.
