Chapter 381: People from the capital
Chapter 381 People from the capital
"It's not easy for the youngest couple, and my eldest grandson has also suffered." Mrs. Hou read the letter and felt very sad, "My third son has grown up so much, why has he ever suffered like this? Lord Hou, why don't you say something?" Talk!"
Seeing that Marquis Wu'an didn't say a word, Mrs. Hou was very dissatisfied.
"What?" Marquis Wu'an had a sullen face. Ever since the third son told him before leaving, he has never let go of his heart. He is usually either in the Habayashi guard or in the mansion, and he doesn't even go out for entertainment. Now, keep a low profile as low as you want, for fear that something will hinder the emperor's eyes.
He always pays attention to the news in the palace, afraid of hearing the news that Princess Anle is gone, he quietly goes to Huguo Temple to offer incense, praying that Princess Anle will be safe.
The third child, the leader who caused trouble, had never heard of him since he was a child, and even married a wife and had children, and even tricked him. He patted his **** and went to Shanyun County by himself, leaving him in Beijing to be trembling, and he might have to bear the emperor's wrath anytime soon.
The little **** only said that he shot Princess An Le with an arrow, but he didn't say where he shot it, which made him... the third child, who was so bold, would just kill himself, and also implicate the whole family, so he deserved to be demoted to the sky by the emperor.
What happened to the poor mountains and rivers? Didn’t he do it himself? How come you have the face to write a letter to your family asking for help? The whole family was almost killed by him.
"Naturally, I want to find a way to transfer him back to Beijing, or give him another place to operate. The situation in Shanyun County is too complicated, so it's not a place for people to stay." Mrs. Hou thought of her son's letter mentioning big The grandson was not acclimatized, and had rashes all over his body, so he couldn't help wiping his tears with a handkerchief.
Marquis Wu An choked in his heart, his face was very ugly, "Return to Beijing? The transfer of officials is the emperor's idea, how can I have that ability? Now that Shanyun County is suffering, what did I do? I'm in my twenties. It’s not safe to act at all. Let him stay there and experience it with peace of mind.”
As soon as he flicked his sleeves, he wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Mrs. Hou, "What do you mean, Lord Hou? You don't care about the third child? The emperor ordered him this job, and he didn't want to go. According to Master Hou, it is the third child." What did you do?" She stared at Marquis Wu'an's face, and couldn't help grasping his arm with force, "Master Hou, tell me the truth, did the youngest do something?"
Marquis of Wu'an...
Can he speak? If he said so, wouldn't the entire Hou Mansion be panicked?
Taking advantage of the situation, he sat back again, "No, you are a woman, just take good care of the inner house. What are you thinking about all day long? Don't you know how stable the third child is? What can he do? Doesn't he just focus on it?" Do you want to let it go outside, do you want to join the cabinet?"
"real?"
"Of course it is true." Marquis Wu An lowered his eyelids, feeling very angry. It was obviously caused by the third child, and he had to find a way to make it up for him.
Mrs. Hou believed it. She was vaguely aware of her son's ambition, but she didn't expect that the third child would actually want to join the cabinet. If there is really a cabinet minister in the family, then Houfu can walk sideways in Beijing.
Thinking of this, she gave Marquis Wu An a blank look, "Since this is the case, why don't you help your son? You can't move him... Didn't the third child say that he was too poor there, and he was short of manpower? Then you can send him some money, and then go back to him." The mansion will transfer some servants and send them to the south together."
"How can it be that simple? It's nothing more than money, manpower... What your son wants is a craftsman, what can the slaves in the mansion do in the past?" Marquis Wu An said angrily.
Madam Hou felt innocent, "If he wants a craftsman, send him there."
"Where should I go to find a craftsman for him?" The woman said, thinking the question was simple, "Even if I found it, it would be thousands of miles away, would he be willing to go?"
Mrs. Hou was speechless, thought for a while, and said: "If you have money, you can make ghosts turn the mill. If you have a lot of silver, I don't believe that I can't find a craftsman who is willing to go."
Marquis Wu'an was still not happy, "I'm very busy, but I don't have time to find a craftsman for him. As long as the third child is capable, he can still make achievements without the help of his family. Let him work hard outside with peace of mind." Probably hope is not.
Flicked his sleeves, this time he really left.
Madam Hou gritted her teeth angrily, cursing inwardly, "This old thing."
She only has two sons, but Master Hou has four sons, and the third son is not in the capital. Isn't the things in the house cheaper than those two bastards? No, Lord Hou doesn't care about her!
Mrs. Hou took the money directly from the public account, went to find craftsmen, went to buy things, and loaded a dozen cars in seven or eight days. It was really hard to find craftsmen, the manager ran away for a month, and only found two who were willing to go to Shanyun County.
Madam Hou didn't have the patience to wait any longer, let's just two, and sent a steward to Shanyun County to deliver things.
I brought a lot of things, so I couldn’t walk fast on the road. It took me more than a month to get to Shanyun County. At this time, a lot of salt has been produced in the seaside salt fields, and the truckloads are all brought back at night.
The big house next to the county government office has been built. Like a residential area, it is divided into several areas. It is not only a whole, but each door is closed, and each is independent. The warehouse for storing salt is built here, and the workshop for refining salt is also here.
Yu Zhi read her mother-in-law's letter, and saw that her mother-in-law had sent so many things, all of which were for use, and there were actually two craftsmen. Coincidentally, one of them can burn bricks.
Yu Zhi looked at Wen Jiuxiao's eyes wrongly, "It really makes sense for the fragrance to be far away and the smell to be near."
Wen Jiuxiao understands what she means, doesn't it mean why your mother treats you so well? Wen Jiuxiao didn't expect that his mother not only sent the craftsman and things, but also brought him 10,000 taels of silver, of which 5,000 taels were drawn from the public account, and the other 5,000 taels were from his mother's private house.
He didn't know at all, Marquis Wu'an didn't count on this son, Mrs. Hou had to count on it! The reason why she bothered so much was because she didn't want the concubine to take advantage of her. Instead of making the concubine cheaper, the things in the house might as well be cheaper for her third child. The son is an official outside, and the family subsidizes one or two, isn't it like this in Beijing? No one can tell her half a word.
Secondly, Wen Jiuxiao is capable. He was able to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple before. Who can guarantee that he will not be able to enter the cabinet in the future? At that time, she will be the old man's mother, what a beauty!
Father didn’t bring a few words, although the steward helped to make up for it, saying that Lord Marquis was in the guard when he left. It can be heard that Jiuxiao understands very well in his heart. To be honest, he didn't report any hope when he wrote to Beijing, and his father's attitude was also expected by him, so it can't be said that he was disappointed or not.
The steward rested for three days, and then set off back to Beijing with a dozen or so cars. They are all local products of Shanyun County, not worth much, but there is a whole truckload of refined salt among them.
Wen Jiuxiao told the steward, the matter of refined salt is kept secret, and only Madam Hou knows it.
