Chapter 454: to rise
As soon as the eldest son and his wife left, Patriarch Song looked at his old wife disapprovingly, "Yi'an is our eldest son, how can you say that about him? Although he is not as talented as Li Xian in reading, compared with others, he It can be considered promising.”
"What did I say? He is my son. I can't say a word about him yet? Look at him. Since he was admitted to the Yamen, his whole person has changed. He doesn't treat his younger brother as much as he used to." Song Madame is not convinced,
"He has a family and a business, and he has a son. Even if you are a mother, can you say that about him?" Patriarch Song accused him. Women are just long-haired and short-sighted. It’s not as good as before, but he is still very filial to us, you say you...cough, don’t you make him feel cold? He is the eldest son!"
Mrs. Song drooped her face, "Didn't you say that we will live with Li Xian in the future?"
Patriarch Song's hand was in mid-air, "Yes, I said it's true, but you have to be a virtuous person first."
He thought about dividing up the family for his two sons. If Yi'an couldn't study well, he would stay in Shanyun County to guard his ancestral business. Lixian is talented in reading, and he will definitely go to Beijing in the future. He and his old wife followed their son to Beijing, what a sight!
Mrs. Song disagreed, "Do you think it is so easy to take the exam? There are only a few people in Shanyun County? How many people have failed the exam in their entire lives. This is the first time for Lixian. He has no experience. He is so young. Take the exam later.”
"You..." Patriarch Song pointed at the old wife, "What do you know, a woman? Hmph, Li Xian is spoiled by you."
As the old wife said, Lixian is still young, and failing the ranking is not a big deal. Even if he takes the exam twice, Lixian is only twenty-six or seventeen years old, less than thirty, so he can be called young and promising.
Therefore, although Lixian failed the ranking, although he was disappointed, it was not unacceptable. What really made him murmur was that Lixian didn't even have the courage to go home after failing the exam, and he didn't think about his family's worries at all. With such a lack of responsibility, can he still count on his glory?
No, no, it won't. Patriarch Song was taken aback by his own thought. How could he think of Lixian like this? Lixian is just still young, with a somewhat jumpy temper and not very stable. It will be fine when things go through more in the future.
Yes, it is said that a person stands at thirty, and a virtuous person is only twenty-one, and it will be fine when he reaches thirty.
Patriarch Song comforted himself in this way, and of course, he also comforted his old wife in this way. The two even discussed whether they should marry Lixian a good wife, so as to urge him to make progress.
After thinking about it again, marrying a wife for him now, the background is too low, and it will not help his son's future. Let's talk about it after being selected as a Jinshi. Lixian has good knowledge and outstanding talents. Maybe he will fall into the eyes of some powerful family and recruit him as his son-in-law. With the support of the Yue family, Lixian's official career must be smooth sailing.
People are not beautiful in appearance, but they are beautiful in thinking.
How about being stupid and not knowing it?
With such a pair of parents, it is doomed that Song Lixian will not go far.
Things really went as Yu Zhi predicted, the sea was almost in chaos. Luofu Island and Jiangliu Island have already become dog-brained, so Wen Jiuxiao must have fanned the flames inside. Either they pretended to be people from Luofu Island to provoke Jiangliu Island, or they pretended to be people from Jiangliu Island to rob the cargo ships of Luofu Island. After a few times, both sides became enemies.
Zhang Bowen became suspicious, but he couldn't produce strong evidence for a while, who would have the patience to listen to him? They are just pirates, fierce and cruel, their brains are confused, their blood is hot, **** them, who cares about other things?
When Luofu Island and Jiangliu Island were in full swing, another force appeared on the sea. Their boats are not black, but the same color as the sea. There are also signs on the bow, some are tigers, some are sharks, some are red stars, and even skulls... This force is well equipped with weapons, knives, guns, spears, bows and arrows, and even hand crossbows. Shoot down, many pirates have suffered from their hands, and they all avoid it when they see it from a distance.
Haha, yes, this newly rising force is the sailors trained by Shanyun County.
Wen Jiuxiao and the others have gained experience in robbing pirates now. They use war to support war. Can the weapons be well-equipped?
The landlord’s family not only has surplus food, but their boats are already so large that they can choose at will, just like the emperor’s flopping of lucky concubines. One word to describe, that is "cool"!
Now Wen Jiuxiao's thoughts have changed, he is so stupid to confront the pirates head-on, this way of robbing, stealing a ship and changing a place, isn't it good?
Yu Zhi predicted the beginning, but not the end. Where did she think that those signs painted on the bow on a whim would make the pirates misunderstand that they are also pirates?
Yu Zhi patted the table and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up. After laughing, she looked at Wen Jiuxiao, "Since you are all pirates, why don't you take an island to settle down?"
The more I think about it, the more feasible it becomes. "Crops can be grown on the island..." Speaking of crops, she suddenly thought of the high-yield crops overseas, and Yu Zhi became excited. How could she only remember such a convenient condition now?
Alas, having a baby made her hormone secretion unbalanced, and she really became stupid.
"Third Master, do you know what crops are grown on the island?"
"It's the same as Shanyun County." Although Wen Jiuxiao didn't know her intentions, she still answered truthfully.
Same? This is a bit bad. It doesn't matter, Yu Xiaozhi can't help her. "Third Master, I heard that there is also a trading pier in the sea, which is very prosperous, and there are people who trade everything. Have you been there?"
Wen Jiuxiao shook his head, he knew that place was called Shawo. Not every pirate has been to this place. Wen Jiuxiao has captured thousands of people here, and those who have been to Shawo more than three times are only counted on one hand. Others have been there once, and most of them only know that there is such a place, but they have never been there.
Why? Because it's too far away. Those who are not familiar with the sea route will not be able to touch the place at all.
Because of maintaining a sense of mystery, Wen Jiuxiao's side always makes quick decisions, leaving as soon as the **** is finished, and rarely stays at sea. They still know too little about the sea, and they dare not venture into unfamiliar sea areas.
"Is there something you want? Gemstones or spices?" Wen Jiuxiao knew that her shop was making something called perfume. He didn't quite understand it, but he thought it was similar to Hexiang.
"No, no, I want to find one, no, several crops that we don't have in Shanyun County." Sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes are all overseas crops, right? I don't know if this time and space exists?
Yu Zhi wanted to describe their appearance, but when she raised her head to meet Shang Wen Jiuxiao's deep eyes, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty, forget it, forget it, this shrewd man became suspicious again, so she should say a few words less.
"If you have a chance, you can help find overseas crops that are different from ours. Let's try to grow one. Maybe the yield will be very high."
Seeing that he was still looking straight at her, Yu Zhi was not very happy. What are you doing? Are the eyes big? She does good deeds and saves the working people. Her merits are immeasurable, isn't she?
Before Yu Zhi slapped the table, Wen Jiuxiao looked away, "Okay!"
Worrying, the daughter-in-law is full of flaws, can he make up for it?
