In the south of the Yangtze River in May, there is always light rain. When the rain first started, there was still some white light on the horizon, and there were large swaths of clouds rolled west by the wind.
Qiu's standing in front of the window said, "Jiangnan is not good at this point. It always rains." Especially in the rainy season, the humidity can be very heavy in the second half of the month, and the tide returns in March and April. The Qiu family was really not used to it at that time.
Mother Li smiled and said: "It rains a little bit, but here is better than Haocheng. The old lady came here, and she didn't cough anymore in the spring." The Qiu family lived in Hot Spring Village last winter for nearly two. Moon, even in the severe winter, the hot spring village is as warm as spring.
The Qiu clan hummed, "Yuxi has always said that Jiangnan raises people, but he was half-believing before, but now it is indeed like this." The Qiu clan can raise them so well. For one thing, the pleasant climate in Jiangnan is good for people to recuperate. Locally, on the other hand, Qiu's son was at ease by his side. Although Han Jianye is still in Yunnan, Han Jianming is his reassurance.
Mother Li’s pleats face would be full of smiles: “The princess and the master are all filial children. This is the blessing of the old lady.” Mother Li is getting old, and she should have been living forever. It's just that Qiu's got used to her being by her side, and Mama Li's body is also healthy, so she stayed by her side. Now Mother Li doesn't have to do errands, just talk and chat with Qiu's family.
When Qiu heard this, he thought of someone: "Speaking of which, we have left the capital for more than ten years, and I don’t know how Yuru is living in the capital." Although she was not biological, she always called her mother for more than ten years. Up.
Mother Li shook her head and said, "This old slave doesn't know too much." She really didn't know much about the capital over there.
The Qiu family has only been in Jiangnan for more than a year, but Han Jianming is famous for serving his mother. When Qiu was sick, he took good care of him in front of his bed, and he also spread porridge and rice to the poor and sick and widows to accumulate the blessing of Qiu's. On weekdays, he would accompany Qiu's incense, as long as there was no urgent matter to deal with in the house, he would definitely accompany him. With Qiu's meal. Today, no one in Jiangnan does not know that Han Jianming is a filial son. Of course, some people think he is trying to get his reputation, and some people think he is doing it for Yuxi. No matter what others say, what Qiu's family has been in Jiangnan for more than a year is comfortable and at ease, and his health is much better than before.
Japan and Korea Jianming didn't go out to deal with things in the house, so naturally he came over for lunch at noon.
Qiu asked him about Yuru: "Ming'er, we have left the capital for more than ten years. I don't know how Yuru is going." Her life is much better than in Beijing.
Han Jianming was silent and said, "Mother, Yuru died of an illness ten years ago." It is better to say that the person who passed away was implicated by them.
Not long after Zeng Kezhou fled to Haocheng in Han Jianming, he sent Yuru to a nunnery. Generally, the women who are sent to the nunnery are women who have made a big mistake, and the nuns in the nunnery are not good people. If the family has money to give away every month, the life can still be easy. If there is no money, then try hard. Yuru was spoiled and brought up. After marrying, he was not tortured because of her family's backing, and her life was very easy. Suddenly fell into such a situation, not to mention the physical and mentally unacceptable, and went there within the next three years.
Qiu's family chanted Amitabha Buddha: "How is the temperament of the woman who will marry the eldest son-in-law, and how good is it with the two children?" Yuru gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Zeng family.
Han Jianming didn’t lie to the Qiu family, and said, “The niece had an accident a few years ago, and it’s gone. But the niece has already been married.” Han Jianming’s news is so well-informed, how could it be unclear when Yuru died of illness. The family remarried for Zeng Kezhou. He didn't inquire carefully about his disposition, but the eldest nephew who gave birth to his son had an accident. This can't be a coincidence.
When the Qiu family heard this, they wept in sadness: "Bad children. We are not in the capital. Zeng's family sees Yuru not backing up and tries hard to practice." So, whether this woman is doing well depends on her natal family. Can't give much strength.
Han Jianming disagrees with Qiu's statement. When Yuxi married Yun Qing back then, she was not backed by her natal family, but now she is in trouble. Their maidens have to rely on Yuxi and Yuru to have such a miserable ending. Of course, the Zeng family is hateful. The main reason is her own incompetence. However, Han Jianming did not say these words.
After receiving such bad news, Qiu's was in a bad mood and didn't eat much at noon. After Han Jianming's persuasion, he used half a bowl of rice and half a bowl of porridge. After eating, I went to the Buddhist hall to recite sutras to Yuru and her son.
When Han Jianming returned to the front yard, he heard a letter from Yuxi. After reading the letter, Han Jianming was in a good mood. In Jinling for so many years, he hadn't heard of the huge treasure hidden in the Wu family. Because Wu Kuo has been doing errands for Yuxi over the years, he has scruples, so he only sent someone to investigate in private, but unfortunately nothing was found. In the end, he also gave up, but he did not expect that the rumors were true.
Han Gao smiled and asked, "Master, is there something great in Gaocheng?" It must be a great thing to make his master so happy.
For his confidant, Han Jianming naturally did not hide it: "The previous rumors about the Wu family hiding a huge amount of treasure are true. Wu Kuo has agreed to donate that treasure as military expenses."
Han Gao was a little surprised and asked: "Why is Wu Kuoruo donating this treasure now?"
Han Jianming said with a smile: "The princess has received the exact news, and on the condition of marrying the princess princess to Wu Kuo's second-in-law, Wu Kuo donates the treasure." Han Jianming took the aggressive behavior for granted. Whether it is a huge treasure or a rare treasure, it is impossible to keep it without sufficient power. If you don’t know what to do, you’ll be imprisoned if you don’t know what to do. Yuxi's disposal method is still mild.
Han Gao laughed: "Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?" This time he collected huge treasures and solved the marriage of the big princess, but he didn't kill two birds with one stone.
Han Jianming glanced at Han Gao and said, "Yuxi loves a few children very much and won't trade the children for benefits. This time it is also the second young master of the Wu family who Zaozao first fancyed. Yuxi just took advantage of the trend. "Furthermore, with Zaozao's temperament, if she doesn't agree, Yuxi and Yun Qing can't force her.
Han Gao immediately changed his words and said, "It's the little one who said something wrong. This should be a double happiness."
Han Jianming said: "It is indeed a double happiness. The marriage of Zaozao is set, and Yuxi must be relieved." Although Zaozao is not very old, he wants to find a happy temperament. It's not easy.
Han Gao was a little curious: "What is so extraordinary about the second young master of the Wu family that he would be favored by the great princess."
Han Jianming said with a smile: "I heard that he looks very good. He is the number one beautiful boy in Gaocheng." He has never seen how good he is, but since his reputation is not bad.
Han Gao's expression was a little weird. It turned out that the chief princess was interested in the appearance of his family, not his talents.
As if he knew what Han Gao thought, Han Jianming said with a smile: "If you only grow well, you may not be able to get Zaozaoyan." Zaozao chooses son-in-law's standard to be beautiful and obedient, as well as having a good personality. She asked for it.
Han Jianming has nothing to say about the jujube standard. The vegetables and radishes have their own love.
The two most important things in warfare are military pay and grain. Now there is only grain and grass left in military expenditures. Yuxi deliberately told Han Jianming about this, just to ask him to raise food and grass.
Summoning the staff, Han Jianming told the two of the incident, and then asked: "Look at it, will the princess prepare to attack the capital?"
Mr. Zhao frowned and said, "My lord, didn't the princess say this in the letter?"
If he had said that, Han Jianming would not have summoned the two to discuss: "No, the princess only said in the letter that I should raise food and grass." It was harvested soon in the summer, and Yuxi did not say to ask for it immediately, so this errand is not a good idea. difficult.
Mr. Qu said: "Since the princess didn't say anything, I'm afraid it is not preparing for the attack on the capital." After a pause, Mr. Qu said again: "Moreover, the conditions for attacking the capital are not yet mature. I believe the princess must know this." Wushuang is also considered an accomplished emperor, he has managed Hebei and Shandong very well, and the garrison is also strong. Therefore, the attack on the capital is bound to be a fierce battle. But they have been fighting for years, not only the bank was empty, but there were also many casualties. Conscription will increase the burden on the people. Once the attack on the capital goes unsuccessful, the situation may become unstable. Therefore, it is best to take a truce for three to five years, recharge your energy, and then send troops to attack the capital.
Han Jianming also had this suspicion: "If it weren't for attacking the capital, what would you do with so much grain and grass?" If it was the war in Yunnan, Yuxi didn't need to write such a letter specifically.
Mr. Zhao thought for a while and said: "My lord, do you think the prince is going to attack the Northern Captives?" Although the Northern Captives have not sent large-scale troops in the past few years, they often have cavalry burned, killed, and looted at the border, making the border uneasy. .
When Han Jianming heard this, he suddenly became enlightened, and said: "I remember the princess said that it is the prince's long-time wish to destroy the Northern Captives. This time, the princess asked to prepare the grain and grass, and he must be preparing for the attack on the Northern Captives." If Yunqing is to take down the capital and become the emperor first, there will be so many things at that time, and Yunqing may not be able to conquer himself.
When Mr. Qu heard this, he said: "If this is the wish of the prince, then preparations must have started a few years ago. In this way, the odds of winning will be great."
Han Jianming was not worried about this battle, and said: "The prince never fights uncertain battles." He is very confident in Yun Qing, of course, even if he loses, it will not affect the overall situation.
Half a month later, Zijin brought two thousand elite soldiers to Jinling. This time, Zijin led the troops to Jinling mainly to escort the silver back to Gaocheng, and let Guo Xun lead the people to follow in case of precaution.
After arriving in Jinling, Zijin first went to see Han Jianming, and then Han Jianming sent someone to help Zijin dig out the treasures. After digging it out, Zijin took Guo Xun to check. Two thirds of these treasures are silver, and another third are gold. In addition to this, there are a few boxes of rare treasures.
Looking at these gold and silver treasures, Zi Jin couldn't help but said: "The princess of Wei Dao wants me to bring soldiers to hold this treasure." The wealth is touching. If the escort becomes greedy, the loss will be great. Don't say how much gold and silver you are greedy, just concealing the rare treasures in those boxes is a great loss.
Guo Xun knew what Zijin was thinking, but he was a little speechless: "These gold and silver treasures, the princess does not know the number of these treasures, don’t this master Wu Kuo know who dares to be greedy for ink? The princess asks you to escort you not to worry about the escort’s business trip, but to fear those secretly. The people of the people do their hands and feet.” These gold and silver treasures can only be loaded in hundreds of carriages, and it will take two months to return to the city of Pickaxe. If there is insufficient defense for such a long time, it is easy to go wrong.
Zijin smiled and said, "Brother-in-law is right." Because she recognized Shisu as her sister, she naturally called Guo Xun her brother-in-law.
Because of the news, Han Jianming has collected enough carriages in the past two weeks. It only took three days to load the gold and silver into the carriage, and then set off for Haocheng after resting for a long time.
Zijin led his troops to Jinling and escorted nearly a thousand boxes away within a few days, which attracted the attention of many interested people.
Shi Hua and Fang Xing said, "General, those carriages left deep traces, and they should be escorted heavy objects." The gold and silver used by Wu Meng were all made of good camphor wood, and Zi Jin and Guo Xun checked them out. These boxes were sealed and sealed again after they were loaded into the carriage. Those coachmen didn't know what was in it.
Fang Xing looked at Shi Hua and said, "If it's ordinary things, it will definitely not let the princess go into such a fight. Ten of these boxes are gold and silver."
Shi Hua opened his mouth wide and said, "No, thousands of boxes are all gold and silver, so they can't be tens of thousands of taels of silver." The piles are as high as a mountain.
Fang Xing said: "Not all boxes are made of gold and silver. Some of them may contain other things."
Shi Hua said: "That's a lot, how did such a large number of treasure princesses know about it?"
Many people have heard of the treasures in the Wu family. It's just that Wu Kuo is also working for Yuxi, even Han Jianming is hesitant to attack him, let alone other people.
Fang Xing smiled and said, "Who can conceal what the princess wants to know. But if my guess is correct, that would be a good thing. With such a large sum of money, the attack on the capital will soon be mentioned. Schedule." When the time comes, he won't have to stay in Jinling. Although it is said that it is very rich here, he can make his pockets bulge without being greedy, but money is not his ultimate goal, what he wants is to make meritorious deeds.
Shi Hua nodded and said: "This is indeed a good idea for us, but the princess is really good at making money." A huge sum of money was found in the palace back then, and now he has obtained a huge sum of money from the Wu family. Fortune is simply against the sky. If he knew that these two huge sums of money were related to dates, he might not think so.
Fang Xing nodded and said, "The princess not only has wealth, but also helps her husband. The prince married her, and everything goes smoothly." He even took them along with his subordinates. Who doesn't marry such a daughter-in-law
