591 Beginning of the Year
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, although Zhuhai Garden was still a little foggy, it must be a sunny day today. According to the habits of the past few years, Hongwu needs to take his wife and children out to pay New Year greetings to the elders in various villages. Therefore, He and Wang Sanniang also got up earlier.
When Hong Wu combed Wang Sanniang's hair, Wang Sanniang asked, "Da Lang, why did the second daughter of the Wu family marry Dong Kui so soon?"
"Oh, that's the case. Dong Kui got the order of the young master. He has to go far and is not in a hurry. He can only get married as soon as possible. Uncle Wu may get married on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Then, they will follow Dong. Kui is leaving. You also know that marrying a daughter-in-law is not easy now, but Dong Kui has spent a lot of gifts."
"Yeah, nowadays, I don’t even dare to pay a gift without a lot of money. Aunt Liu was still talking about it last time. Her family has three sons. Money is not a top priority. Now the ladies in each village are seen by others. I've been a baby, and I'm all staring at it, but anyone who says they are marrying a daughter will surely step on the threshold. I have also heard that some young ladies start to pay attention before they are fourteen. "
Hong Wu smiled and said: "You can fight any way you want. The rule is that you can marry a person at sixteen. They are only willing to make a marriage. Anyway, it will be done if the rules are not bad."
"This was set by the Patriarch back then. Who would dare to break this rule? However, I heard that some people who cannot marry a wife plan to save money to go to Guangzhou or Yangzhou to buy women back. You have to explain this. It’s okay to go down, if something goes wrong, it’s not easy for the Patriarch to explain it.” New Bayi Chinese website first published
Hong Wu sighed: "I have already explained this matter, but how do you let your husband act on this matter? Although no outsiders can come in here, you also know the situation. I mentioned it last time. They made me more. Think of a way, how can I think of a way around this matter?"
"Da Lang, why don't you ask Mr. Nangong, if there is no way he can do it, maybe it is not necessarily?"
"Alright, I will ask later."
The two chatted for a while, and then they packed up. Then, Wang Sanniang began to pack up for the two children. The food had already been delivered. Once they had eaten, their family could set off. But before the meal was finished, one of his subordinates hurried over and said that Liu Qiu had come, and Liang Dong had come.
Wang Sanniang knew that there was something wrong with Hongwu, so she took the child back to the house after eating, planning to wait for Hongwu to deal with the matter before leaving.
There was a stone table under the flower stand in the small courtyard. Hong Wu had already asked people to prepare tea here, and he was waiting for Liang Dong to come. After a while, Liang Dong followed the people here. After seeing him, he said, "Manager Hong, Liuqiu has many people here this time, and Maro Ono asked me to come over and help him send a letter, asking how these people will arrange?"
Hong Wu raised his hand and said, "Sit down first, don't worry about this."
After Liang Dong sat down, Hong Wu handed him a cup of tea and said, "You started from Liuqiu before the New Year. It seems that it's not a small matter. How about Ono Maro?"
"Manager Hong, Ono Maro took fifteen cargo ships to the country of Wa. He said that there are still 4,000 people who need to be transported there. Adding those who have already arrived in Liuqiu, the total number is nearly 20,000. He is afraid that Mr. Nangong will be blamed. Because of him, so I invite me to go here, first to tell the story, and secondly, to see what Mr. Nangong means."
After that, Hong Wu asked someone to invite Nangong Yi to come over. After the person left, Hong Wu said: "Brother Liang, you came just right. I have a letter to bring it to Mu Jiande. When you go back, you will bring me the words. Said that Young Master asked him to dig out at least 20,000 catties of pyrolusite and deliver it to me."
Liang Dong knows that Nanwan City is vigorously mining minerals. Although he doesn't know what pyrolusite is, Mu Jiande definitely knows. He only needs to bring the words to the point. Without asking more, he clasped his fists. Said: "Hong Guan, this is a trivial matter, I will bring your words to Mu Jiande."
After Hong Wu nodded, he asked, "When did Ono Maro leave?"
"On the first day before my departure, it would take him a day or two to arrive, and now others are still floating at sea."
"Did you see those refugees?"
Liang Dong nodded and said: "I saw it. It was indeed a bit miserable. Mu Jiande transferred all the cloth in Nanwan City to Haihe Town to buy clothes."
Hong Wu frowned and said, "You won't tell me, this winter, they have no clothes, right?"
"Yes, it’s just too thin. Many children really don’t even have a piece of clothing on them. I asked Ono Maro. He said that the poor people in the Japanese country are like this. In fact, they don’t even mention them. The clothes of others!"
The two chatted casually for a while, and it didn’t take long for Nangong Yi to come over. Hong Wu and Liang Dong got up to meet, but they were stopped by Nangong Yi. After sitting down, Nangong Yi asked, “I heard that Liu Qiu If something is going on, Liang Dong, let's talk about it, what's going on?"
Then Liang Dong said the situation again, but Nangong Yi didn't say much, just asked: "Are there many refugee women and children?"
"Mr. Nangong, there are many women and children. Ono Maro's last shipment was all men. But if you add these four thousand people, there are only seven thousand men, and the rest are all women and children. child."
Nangong Yi nodded and said, "I know about this. After you go back, tell Ono Maro that I will arrange for these people slowly. They can't stay with so many people, I think he will understand what I mean. ."
"Mr. Nangong, with your words, Ono Maro can feel relieved. He is afraid that there are too many people to blame him, so that he made me run there."
Nangong Yi looked at Liang Dong with a smile, and said, "Let's talk about it, what is your purpose here, less use of Ono Maro as a shield."
As soon as Hong Wu said this, he frowned, and Liang Dong smiled embarrassedly as if his thoughts had been seen through. Then he got up for a week and said, "Mr.'s eyes are like a torch, and I admire it with one step. , This time the brothers patrolled to the north, and happened to see Ono Maro pulling the people back. After he put the people down, he returned to the voyage. We were arranging the Japanese refugees. I want to come to know that those people under me, Nan The ladies in Bay City can't look down on us. Who made us a pirate? Those indigenous women, their subordinates didn't look down on them. They felt that they were a bit dark. This time there were more women among the Japanese, so the brothers let me. Come and ask."
Liang Dong said that Hong Wu had to ask, "Are those Japanese women so pretty?"
Liang Dong waved his hand and said: "Hong Guan, it's not that they are pretty, but they are more white.
After saying this, Liang Dong asked Nangong Yi again: "Mr. Nangong, what do you think of this matter?" (End of this chapter)
