Chapter 569: The Great Lady and the Second Lady
knew that Xu Qian was coming, and many people in Jingshi were moved.
Needless to say, the Xu family said that Xu Chang had taken leave early, and it was not okay not to pick up people, but Xu Chang was very unhappy with his anger.
Think about it, his own son was still competitive, but now he is the governor, and his future is naturally unspeakable.
But the son cheated his father.
You said that if you take leave, you will take leave, what is there about leave, who doesn't have a about Chen Sesame and rotten grain, you can sue if you want to, but this guy has to say that he wants to have a child, and he has to rush back thousands of miles.
For a while, the entire pro-army regarded Xu Chang as a laughing stock.
Giving birth to a child and taking leave, this is also the first time, not to mention, it has long been rumored that Xu Qian is afraid of guilt, and now he is anxious to come back after giving birth to a child, thinking that he is a wet nurse.
When Xu Chang heard a lot of discussions, he was furious, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, so Xu Yong and Xu Yi were unlucky.
Now on this dock, Xu Chang is waiting anxiously.
When Xu Qian arrived in Beitongzhou before, he had asked people to send news quickly, saying that it would arrive roughly today, and now the sun is three poles, and the weather is indeed hot and terrifying, Xu Chang is sweaty, and his face is gloomy, so scared that Xu Yi and Xu Yong dare not approach him.
There are a lot of people here, especially the merchants, how many times more than in previous years, Zhejiang river gradually dredged, which means that through the river, many people can go directly to Ningbo from all over Zhejiang, and it also means that everyone can directly take a boat to Nantong Prefecture, through the Guò Canal to Beijing. In addition, the sea route pacification envoy seems to be looking for a source of goods, even though many merchants have expanded the scale of production, the goods are still in short supply, in this situation. Many businessmen came to Beijing in the hope of transferring some goods.
In fact, compared with Beijing, Tianjin is more lively, with at least hundreds of ships of goods going to Zhejiang every day. The emergence of capitalism made business the goal of many people, although the imperial court lowered the status of merchants again and again, but once the trend grew. When everyone sees the benefits of businessmen, this trend is unstoppable.
After a lifetime of hard work, it is better for someone to make a deal. It is said to be lowly. It is said that you can't wear silk, but now which is not silk and satin, hugged left and right, even if you can't take a sedan chair, but there is also a comfortable carriage to travel. In Tianjin, everyone is already proud of businessmen.
Some merchants even look for business opportunities directly on the wharf, because some brokers also sell goods here, but here, bulk transactions are generally not traded, after all, merchants can't believe it, bulk transactions are often completed in Ruyi Fang.
When these people trade, it has gradually become popular to use the money of Ruyi Bank, Ruyi Money Village has been built in Ningbo, Hangzhou, Tianjin, Jingshi, Nanjing and other places, as long as you hold the money of the banknote, you can exchange the huàn pattern silver at any time, take it at any time, it is very convenient, the merchants gradually discovered the benefits of money, after all, it is easy to carry, and it is convenient to hide, a burden of silver can only be carried in the bag, it is difficult to give people a sense of security, but a few silver tickets, but can be directly hidden under the soles of shoes, or sewn in underwear.
Many people have accepted money, and many transactions have been done with money.
It's just that this kind of prosperity and liveliness makes Xu Chang look very unhappy, after all, there are too many people, and this Qianhu adult is very unhappy, and he should have come out in a flying fish suit and straddle the knife on his body.
At this moment, Xu Yong shouted: "It's coming...... Here it ......."
Xu Chang squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw an official ship coming, and it was not an ordinary cargo ship at a glance, Xu Chang hurriedly grabbed it and went to the trestle where the official ship docked, Xu Yong and Xu Yi also hurriedly followed.
The official ship was already on the board, and sure enough, Xu Qian was the first to get off the ship, but he didn't wear black yarn and official uniforms, just dressed in regular clothes, but like a rich and noble son of a family, because the weather was hot, so he was shaking a fan in his hand, and he was directing a few guards to move the salute on the ship down.
As for Zhao Mengting, she had to get off the boat later, so she had to put the salute on hold first.
"Daddy......" Seeing Xu Chang coming, Xu Qian hurriedly greeted him, but he felt that Dad's face was not very good-looking.
However, Xu Chang's bad face, Xu Qian is not surprised, it doesn't matter.
Xu Chang got closer, and scolded: "You bastard, what kind of official are you doing, it's really unreasonable, a woman gives birth to a child, what price do you stake, a bastard with no face and no skin, have your wings grown stiff?" Even if you take a vacation, why don't you revise the book in advance and let us know! ”
He scolded bitterly, and Xu Qian was speechless.
At this time, someone scolded: "Yes, the wings have grown stiff, you bastard, you think you are terrible to be an official, your tail is cocked to the sky, can't you come back after being an official, but you, who have been an official, have you ever returned to your hometown, you don't want your ancestors, what kind of prestige are you playing!" ”
Hearing someone scolding himself, Xu Chang immediately looked over, this is not tight, at a glance, his eyes are about to fall, but it is the old uncle who trembled slightly with a cane under the support of the two guards, Xu Chang was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the old uncle, the old uncle opened him with a cane, Xu Chang said: "Why is the uncle here?" ”
The old uncle's eyes glared: "What, the old man deserves to die in Qiantang, and you will be quiet?" ”
Xu Chang hurriedly said: "That's not what I mean, Qian'er really deserves to die, I knew that my uncle was coming, why didn't I say it earlier, oops...... Uncle, walk slowly......"
The old uncle glared at him: "I'm also here to give birth, I have to watch Qian'er's child be born, what's the matter, do you even want to scold me?" Such a good thing, when it comes to your mouth, you scold and scold, do you look like you want to hug your grandson? ”
At this moment, Zhao Mengting also came down, and Xu Changcai smiled and greeted: "Mengting, it is reported that you have finished your marriage in Hangzhou, cough cough ......."
The old uncle was annoyed, and said on crutches: "Let's go home first." ”
The group moved, a few sedan chairs had already been prepared outside the dock, Xu Chang gave his sedan chair to the old uncle, and then glared, Xu Qian immediately said: "Dad, you sit in my sedan chair, it's okay for me to take a walk." ”
Xu Chang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, but where is Mengting sitting?" You and Meng Ting squeeze into the carriage and go. ”
Xu Qian responded.
When he returned to Xu's house, the house suddenly became lively, Xu Qian hurriedly went to see Gui Zhi'er, Zhao Mengting naturally had to follow, and when she arrived in the room, Gui Zhi'er was eating ginseng soup, raised her eyes and saw Xu Qian, and flashed a trace of joy, but when she saw Zhao Mengting behind Xu Qian, she naturally knew it in her heart, and her face was a little indifferent.
As a wife, if she sees her husband bring a small one back, no matter how generous she is, it will be difficult to smile. What's more, it's still a flat wife who brought it.
However, in order to show her virtuousness, but she couldn't move on her face, she asked someone to put a pillow, sat up straight, looked at Zhao Mengting, and said, "I think this is Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, please sit down." ”
Zhao Mengting waved her hand nervously: "No need, no need, I'll just stand." ”
Xu Qian said, "Madam, can I sit?" ”
Gui Zhi'er said: "No, Mrs. Zhao didn't even sit, what are you sitting on?" ”
This......
Smelling the smell of gunpowder, Xu Qian was speechless for a while, and looked at Zhao Mengting cautiously, Zhao Mengting was also short-term cramped, and then said: "Mrs., when Mengting was in Zhejiang, I often heard my husband mention you, saying that it is not easy for you to usually run this family, and I am full of praise for you." Now you are about to give birth, he has not slept well for several days, for fear of leaving you alone in Beijing, so I hurriedly went to the book to take leave and came back, before I came, I was still a little uneasy, for fear that the eldest lady would not like me, but the husband said that the eldest lady is generous, the most magnanimous, and will not embarrass me. Now I see, sure enough, as my husband said, everything, there is a first come, I am a descendant, naturally I also know the rules, the eldest lady is about to give birth now, people may not be able to take care of thoughtfully, from now on, you and I are sisters, in the future, I will take care of you, what you want to eat, what you want to use, say hello to me. ”
After all, she has seen more of the world in the Ming Pao, and she is also decent when she speaks, first she sued Gui Zhi'er, her husband is still biased towards you, and she did not forget you because she married me, this leave to return to Beijing is proof, and said that Xu Qian praised Gui Zhi'er for being generous and decent, and finally directly opened and honest, I know the rules, you are still the eldest lady, and my second lady should also take your head and take good care of you.
Gui Zhi'er's face softened a little, in fact, when the news came from Hangzhou, she really hadn't slept well for a few nights, and she felt very uncomfortable, but after so many days, everyone who should be angry was angry, and the wood was already in the boat, what else could she say? Zhao Mengting seems to be kind, but now at this time, Zhao Mengting has already taken the ginseng soup in the hand of the girl on the side, sat on the bed, and took a silver spoon to look like she wanted to feed the ginseng soup.
Gui Zhi'er is now facing only two choices, one is not to accept this kindness, just doing so, it is tantamount to a complete rebellion, and if it is spread out, it will definitely mean that she, the eldest lady, cannot tolerate people. The other option is to cooperate immediately and live in harmony from now on.
She couldn't help but glared at Xu Qian with hatred and love, and finally sighed and said with a smile: "In this way, it's going to be hard for my sister, in fact, this kind of thing, just let someone do it, you are also a lady." ”
