Chapter 1426 - Good Things Come in Pairs
Zheng Chenggong didn't leave until he arrived, but he was already drunk, Chang Yu sent him to the yamen to watch him get in the car and leave before returning to the yamen.
Although Wu Mengming also drank wine, he didn't look drunk, and he always looked like he was smiling at Chang Yu, and Chang Yu was a little impatient: "The people in the yamen said that you came to our house with three heads and two heads, isn't there something wrong with Yinzhuang?" ”
Wu Mengming shook his head: "How can there be an accident with so many forces behind Yinzhuang, our head office has already opened, and it is on Qianmennei Street...... There are also Tianjin Wei and Baoding Mansion, Zhending Mansion have opened their businesses, I heard that Jinan is also soon, hey, didn't you go to Jinan to see it? ”
Now it was Chang Yu's turn to shake his head: "Since there is nothing to do with the bank, it is your private matter, let's say, what the hell is the matter, you don't hide it, our brothers."
Hehe, Wu Mengming suddenly smiled a little treacherously: "But it's not a lowly private matter, but a private matter of the governor, and it's the depth of the governor's collection."
Chang Yu was stunned: "What private matter does our family have that makes Lord Wu so interested, no one will come to our family with a child to recognize his father."
Hahaha, Wu Mengming laughed: "Who knows" Chang Yu's eyes were small: "Lord Wu has something to say in this, let's say it directly, if we go around in a circle, our family will drive people away."
"What's the matter with the county lord of the Jin Palace, how could she enter Beijing!" Wu Mengming suddenly lowered his voice and asked, Chang Yu couldn't help frowning, staring at Wu Mengming's eyes gradually turning cold.
Wu Mengming quickly explained: "I didn't investigate the privacy of the governor, but I met it in the city" Chang Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it: "Is there anything wrong with our family inviting old friends to come to the capital to play?" ”
"Little Overseer, do you really don't know or not, the vassal king can't enter the capital at will without a summons, and he can't even leave the fiefdom!" Wu Mengming looked bitter: "Do you know that Jinyiwei is responsible for supervising this kind of thing, but he was bumped into by his humble position, but he can only pretend not to know, but if the emperor knows that he knows about his humble duty and does not report it, it is a big crime to bully the king."
"Our family naturally knows that the vassal king is not allowed to go out of the fief at will, but the county lord is not the vassal king." Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, and Wu Mengming shook his head vigorously: "That's not good, even the children of the vassal kings are in this law, although they are not stricter than the vassal kings, but they still have to be allowed by the emperor before they can make the trip, this is the ancestral system, and no one can change it except Emperor Taizu."
Chang Yu really didn't know, he had the impression that the Ming Dynasty only required the vassal king not to leave the fiefdom at will, but he didn't know much about other people, at this time, he heard that he was suspicious, and he always felt that Wu Mengming wanted to take the opportunity to take advantage of him, so he smiled coldly: "So Lord Wu is going to the emperor to expose our family."
"Hey, my lord, can you not scare the lowly position, is my old Wu tired of being crooked or can't get along with the silver, what am I exposing you for, it won't be of any benefit to me" Wu Mengming shook his head with a bitter face, Chang Yu looked funny: "That means that if there is a benefit, you will expose our family?" ”
"Well, the governor, don't take the humble position, whoever can't get along with you in this capital can't get along with the humble position, and the humble position is impossible to go against you" Wu Mengming said with a long breath: "There are many people under the lowly job who have seen the county lord in Taiyuan at that time, and if the people in the capital are mixed-eyed, if they are recognized and stabbed in front of some people with a heart, it will definitely be a trouble for the governor, and the humble duty is to give you a reminder, this matter is handled carefully, the county lord has also played all over the capital and sent her away."
Chang Yu snorted and fell silent, in fact, he has been very entangled in Zhu Zhi'e's matter, and he doesn't know how to deal with it, after all, his identity is the county lord doesn't mean that he can marry if he wants to, if it is an ordinary wealthy lady or something, it doesn't matter if he marries a hundred or ten thousand Chongzhen, but if you are a slave of the courtier's family marrying the county lord of the old Zhu family, this matter is not discussed, even if you have great achievements, you can't do it, the problem of face.
Hey, I blame myself for being young and vigorous, I can't control the things under my crotch, I just want to be cool for a while, but now it's okay, but Zhu Zhi'e is an infatuated girl, and I'm not the kind of scumbag who is a negative man.
It's sad!
Wu Mengming saw that he was silent in thought, so he changed the topic: "The house of the imperial gift is cleaned up, you can move in at any time." Chang Yu sighed: "Is it interesting to move to a new house, Lord Wu?"
"That's natural, I humbly get you a few sets of good furniture, it's all pear blossom wood, but it takes a lot of effort" Wu Mengming smiled, but Chang Yu looked indifferent: "No matter how good the wood is for our family, it is not as pleasing to the eye as silver."
"Ahem, cough, Duke, you don't want to ......" Wu Mengming knew that Chang Yu wanted to get money from him again: "It's not that it's not boring, it's that you really don't have it at hand, you know, you have taken it out to do business, and you have borrowed a lot of debts."
Chang Yu laughed: "Fun with you, our family is the head of the East Factory, how can we accept bribes and break the ......law when we lead by example" Wu Mengming sighed, but he had an idea: "There is a small way to humble your position, and when you turn around, the governor will move in the name of housewarming, and there will be many people rushing to follow the ceremony......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chang Yu: "First, the governor wants to face, and second, Dongchang can't slap himself in the face."
The night is getting deeper and deeper, Chang Yu and Wu Mengming are still talking at night, of course, it is no longer a casual private matter, but more of an imminent official business, such as sowing hundreds of thousands of catties of potatoes and sweet potatoes into the ground in a very short period of time, this kind of thing can actually be handed over to the imperial court, but with their urine sex various departments pulling and pulling until the beginning of spring next year, it may not be able to be planted, so Chang Yu decided to hand it over to Jinyiwei to do.
Is Jinyiwei responsible for planting potatoes and sweet potatoes?
It's hard to get the word out, but there's no one better than this department right now.
Seeds and seedlings are readily available, and the ground is also readily available, and the most urgent need now is a large amount of labor.
Don't worry! There are thousands of refugees inside and outside the city, and they only need to shout as much as they want, and they don't need to spend money, they just need to take care of food.
The topic that Chang Yu and Wu Mengming discussed in depth was how to prevent refugees from stealing seeds during the planting process and the problem of caring for them after planting.
The two chatted until the early hours of the morning, and after Wu Mengming left, Chang Yu did not feel sleepy at all, sitting alone in the lobby in a daze, thinking about the business with the Zheng family for a while, thinking about the army's food and disaster relief food, and Zhu Zhi'e......
Song Luoyu walked in with a pot of boiling water and helped Chang Yu remake tea: "Dugong, I heard that my brother and Wu Zhong were injured, are they serious?" ”
Chang Yu shook his head: "I guess I'm jumping around in the capital" said and sighed: "Are you okay at home?" ”
"Okay" Song Luoyu naturally knew that Chang Yu's home was Little Apple: "I will go there every day, it's all good, and the business is good."
"It's good" Chang Yu nodded slightly and raised his hand to signal Song Luoyu to sit down next to him: "Wait for Wu Zhong to come back, let's get married for the two of you."
Song Luoyu, who thought about it freely, blushed: "Isn't it too anxious, I don't even have a house yet...... He's a poor jingle now."
Moreover, Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "You said this, but you slapped our family's face......" Song Luoyu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, don't misunderstand, Duke."
"Okay, okay," Chang Yu chuckled: "The two lovers under the admiral of the dignified Dongchang will get married, if you can't even afford a house, then spread out, my face as the overseer will be dull, yes, Ming'er will go to Ya Po to find a three-in-the-courtyard governor as a congratulatory gift to the two of you."
Song Luoyu thanked him with joy and hurriedly said: "You don't need to enter three, you can enter two."
Chang Yu let him feel free, and couldn't help complaining: "You women, hey, you have a virtue in the past and the next life" Song Luoyu was puzzled, Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "Wuzhong has no silver, you don't have it, your silver plus bounty is enough to buy five big mansions in the capital."
Song Luoyu's face turned red, and he bowed his head and said: "It's enough, but first, I'm afraid that others will say that I'm upside down, and second, I'm afraid of hurting his self-esteem, and he won't agree."
This is also the case, Chang Yu nodded, but he also sighed that even if a chivalrous woman like Song Luoyu was free and easy, she couldn't escape the prejudice of the world, and couldn't help sighing: "Wu Zhong spends money without moderation and loves to make trouble, you have to take care of his money after marriage" Song Luoyou sneered: "That's natural."
Chang Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, woman.
"Duke, there is still one thing to ask for in his humble position, and my brother is not young, although he has a marriage with the Heng Palace...... But Song Luoyu gritted his teeth: "I'm sorry for you to handle it."
It stands to reason that ordinary people are married, and it is a matter of course to organize a wedding, but Song Luoshu is very different, his fiancée is the county lord of Qingzhou Hengwangfu, and he himself is the personal servant of Dongchang, and the identities of the two are unusual.
And the marriage of the children of the king of the Ming Dynasty needs to be reported to the imperial court, and the emperor can only handle the happy event after the emperor's approval, of course, this is just a process, the emperor said some auspicious words to send a small gift or something to congratulate, and he will never object.
Although it is a process, it is also cumbersome, the Ministry of Rites has to report it, but it is far more troublesome than ordinary people's affairs, and the woman is Heng Wangfu, and Song Luoshu is only Chang Yu's personal servant and was born in the rivers and lakes, and has no family background, if he is allowed to do it, he doesn't even know where to start for a while, and it looks particularly deserted, Song Luoyu said this is actually to let Chang Yu support the façade, and the marriage proposal by the man's boss seems to be face-to-face and fast.
"Well, good things come in pairs, if you want to do this happy event, you can do it together, and if you want to send the house, you can also send it together, and it is best to be a neighbor across the wall, if Wu Zhong dares to bully you after marriage, call your brothers and sisters to join forces to cut him" Chang Yu said and laughed, and Song Luoyu also covered his mouth and snickered.
"But...... This matter can't be too urgent, it's better to wait for the court's reward to come down" Chang Yu's words made Song Luoyu not react for a while.
"Your brother has made meritorious contributions in defending the city in Qingzhou, and he has also performed well in the south this time, and this governor has asked for merit for him...... The people in Qingzhou are the palace, so why don't we have to ...... I can't let the woman feel that she is married, and outsiders in the province say that we have climbed high, right?"
Song Luoyu finally reacted, and knelt down to kowtow to Chang Yu, and said with tears in her eyes: "Humble for the ......grace of my brother Lord Xie" The past thoughts, the man is a pulse of incense, the whole family will focus on the incense, Song Luoyu can't get rid of the vulgar, marriage is even more important, Song Luoyu can make do with everything, but her brother's affairs are more important than anything else, she has always been happy that her brother can marry Heng Wangfu, but she is afraid of being looked down upon by others and gossip, at this time, when she heard Chang Yu's words, I can't be grateful.
"What are you doing" As soon as Chang Yu saw her kneeling, he scolded her with a cold face, and stretched out his hand to help Song Luoyu up: "In the future, you will be fined for a year of silver."
Song Luoyu wiped her tears for a smile: "Even if you are punished for ten years, you will have to knock this head."
Chang Yu feigned anger: "Since you like to kowtow so much, kowtow a few more when you get married."
"Okay" Song Luoyu smiled, and Chang Yu was full of emotion in his heart.
