730 Daughters for sons
"There's nothing wrong with a husband and a child, but you have to teach someone to become ......" Look, here it is again, Fu Ji has to bring up the topic of children every other hour when she comes back this time.
It is estimated that the triplets on Mondays and Sundays stimulated her fiercely, for ancient women, there is no future in the family without children, and there is no status without a future.
You can't blame Fu Ji for being conservative, her kind of thinking is really not old, it is an eternal truth for a long time, and it is still the case in later generations.
"Agree to my conditions first, don't think about interrupting!" This time, Hong Tao did not follow the good as the stream, and hurriedly worked hard, and continued to force Fu Ji to agree to give up the position of camel team leader.
This matter is really not a joke, every time I think about it, Hong Tao can scare himself out of his sleep. Since the death of Emperor Shenzong, no one has mentioned the matter of the ointment, and now the only people in the know are himself and Wang Anshi.
In the past, the income share of the flower paste was extracted by Pei Ying personally, and it was not clear how to distribute Hong Tao when he took it back. But this old eunuch who served the emperors of the three dynasties had no chance to continue to serve the royal family, and Emperor Shenzong died within half a year of his death, and then no one cared about the income of the ointment.
Hong Tao has been waiting for Wang Anshi and the new emperor to open their mouths to ask him for this money, and then draw a line to explain whether he should continue to do it or close the stall in the future. But these two are as if they don't know about it at all, and they still haven't said anything after more than two years.
The more this happens, the more difficult it is to reassure, for the sake of insurance, Hong Tao simply moved the flower paste workshop to Jeju Island, and the flower paste field in Huangzhou was also burned, and the only thing that is still related to the flower paste is Fu Ji's camel caravan.
Originally, the camel team was also going to be disbanded, but Fu Ji said that even if he didn't do the flower cream business, the camel team could still be self-sufficient, and he wouldn't be involved in the Liangwang Mansion without Hong Tao worrying about it.
In addition, there are already hundreds of people who rely on camel caravans to make a living, and there are thousands of people counting their families. These people have become accustomed to being on the go all day, and how to arrange them after disbandment is also a big problem.
Fu Ji also made a hypothesis that forced Hong Tao to reconsider the future of the caravan, which was relatively hidden and independent, and even the members of the children's group were not very clear about its internal composition.
This is a very beneficial thing for Hong Tao, and it is also a routine that he likes, and he always has to have some unknown cards in his hand to feel safe and guaranteed.
It was for this reason that Hong Tao allowed the caravan to continue to survive, and then trafficked purer ointment to Western Xia and Liao, grabbing huge profits while obtaining military intelligence from both countries.
Although he is no longer the border army general who commands the side, Hong Tao's attention is still partially focused on the two countries in the north, as long as they do not die, he is afraid that he will be staring at them for a lifetime.
Survival is survival, and the caravan at this time is no longer the caravan that was ordered to smuggle in the past, and it has lost the protection from the government, and the danger has increased several times. They can get used to this kind of life, or they can lose it, but Fu Ji can't, her value is far higher than the profit from smuggling flower ointment.
“…… It's okay not to go in the future, so why take it so seriously. "Fu Ji can still understand her husband's ban, this is a concern, even if she is very reluctant, she has to agree.
"I went before that! Dare to violate the yin and yang of the husband, and serve the family law! It's a pity that the coquettish didn't work, Hong Tao heard that something was wrong, and Fu Ji was still not idle in the past two years.
So what are you waiting for, hurry up and punish. By the way, I also put off the time of the next ploughing, these days of hard work day and night, the body is really a little unbearable.
May 25, it is said that it is an auspicious day for the eldest princess to go to Yangzhou Daming Temple to find a monk, and it is also the day when Gao Cuifeng and Wang San officially married as husband and wife in Liangwangfu.
When they came to kowtow to their parents, Hong Taoxiao's back molars were exposed. It's not all about being happy for a couple, it's mainly because of Gao Cuifeng's father's call.
This son-in-law is only nine years younger than himself, and he was called a brother a few days ago, and suddenly having such an eldest son is a little unaccustomed, and he feels a little advantageous.
Why do you say that it is the eldest son, because Gao Cuifeng is rich. He is nominally Sima Guang's clan, but in fact Sima Guang is an orphan in the clan who was adopted by Sima Guang since he was a child. I don't know what mistakes his parents made, they have not been allowed to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, so they can only follow their mother's surname.
Since he decided to follow Wang Xu, Gao Cuifeng has betrayed his family, and he has no family, not even an elder, and there is no other way but to join the family. Fortunately, the woman's parents were more generous and did not hold the wedding according to the rules of entering the family, let alone disclose it to the outside world, which saved some face.
Half of the son-in-law, this father's call is not wronged at all, and Gao Cuifeng does not feel a loss. But after seeing his old father-in-law's smile, he suddenly had a feeling of being deceived. Why is the smile so obscene, usually this kind of smile is only after the success of harming people.
"This is a pair of dragon and phoenix pocket watches, but they can accurately sense the time. I don't dare to say that it is unique to the world, but I am afraid that there is nowhere to find it except in your father's pocket. ”
This father is not called in vain, in addition to marriage, there was also a custom of changing the mouth in ancient times. Usually rich families give one or two maids to their sons-in-law, or get cars and horses. If you have an official position, you may also be a son-in-law, after all, you are a son.
Hong Tao's change fee is quite special, and there are two pocket watches in a long lacquer box, one gold and one silver. This is to learn that Wang San is going to get married after deliberately let Wang Xin and Liaham work overtime to catch up, and ordinary pocket watches focus on practical functions are different, Hong Tao authorized Wang Xin to put it once, and greeted him with his best craftsmanship.
In this case, the finished product must be as fancy as it gets, and even the thinnest minute hand is braided with gold and silver wire, with a very obvious pattern. Coupled with the time scale inlaid with twelve small crystals, as long as there is a little light at night, it is faintly recognizable, an ancient luminous watch!
After seeing the finished product, if he hadn't said in advance that it was a gift for the child, Hong Tao would have left a piece. Other things are too delicate and cumbersome, but whether it is a watch or a pocket watch, it seems that the more fancy and exquisite it is.
"Third sister, show me first!" As a result, the pocket watch was snatched by Wang Shi before he could see what it looked like when it arrived in Wang San's hand, and it seemed that he didn't plan to return it.
"Brother-in-law, let me take a look at this first. You are an official of the imperial court, and it is easy to provoke criticism if you wear gold and silver, and it is not good to provoke officials. "Wang San's pocket watch is gone, and Gao Cuifeng's can't be kept. Wang Er said better than Wang Shi that he was stunned to endure humiliation for the sake of his brother-in-law's future.
"Yaga! I'll cut off both of their hands after three counts! Got it, chopping hands, click, click...... Yeah! One...... 2. ......"
Hong Tao didn't talk nonsense with the two of them, and shouted, and a tall and thin man walked in outside the hall, no matter what he was wearing, he always had two knives on his waist, one long and one short, and his face was always expressionless.
He dared to ...... Oops...... Ah...... Mother, help, daddy is beating someone...... Ah...... "Wang Er is more familiar with current affairs, and after seeing this eye-catching guy, he didn't plan to be tough, so he returned the pocket watch to Gao Cuifeng first."
But Wang Shi was more stubborn, so he had to challenge it, but he was really cut in the arm by Baga's long knife, and he couldn't dodge it if he wanted to dodge it so fast, so he still took it aside. In pain, she threw away her pocket watch, covered her arms and threw herself into the arms of the eldest princess and howled, and there were no tears in her eyes.
Of course, Yaga was slashed with the back of a knife, and he didn't exert all his strength. Although this Japanese samurai is taciturn and does not know how to read, and his ability to learn languages is not very good, he is by no means stupid and very good at reading words and feelings.
"You kid too, knowing that you will suffer a loss, you still have a hard top with your father. The husband was also a little ruthless, and hit the bruises...... "The eldest princess knew that Wang Shi was pretending, but she was really a little distressed after seeing that Wang Shi really had two bruises on his arms, and while complaining about her husband, she gave Baga a fierce look.
"It's not for nothing, it's rewarded...... Put away that unfortunate character and go with your father, and go first to prepare the feast. "Wang Shi's crying trick can fool the eldest princess but it is useless to Hong Tao, the pain must be painful, but it is much easier than the days of training with special forces.
