Chapter 540: Bad Years and Catastrophes(1/2)
Chapter 540: The year is not good and there will be a major disaster
Author: Jiang Xin Yiyu
Silian was shocked when she heard this.
"Your news is probably wrong. My mother Wang went out and brought 40,000 taels of silver notes. When she came back, she said that her father-in-law still thought it was too little, so she asked her to give her some more..."
Mou Biao frowned when he heard this.
"Forty thousand taels of silver, in the mountains in the southwest, let alone the two of them chew themselves, even building a big house and asking hundreds or eighty servants to serve him. Dad takes this What should I do if I spend more money?”
Thinking about it,
"Is it because I'm taking a small guy outside again?"
Have you even given birth to younger brothers and sisters?
Si Lian laughed and beat him,
"My father-in-law is not sure what's going on outside now. You just arrange his old man like this. You write a letter to ask. It doesn't matter if the silver is used. I'm afraid that something happens outside. If he doesn't mention it, we won't be able to do it. Know!"
Because he was afraid that people would know Mou Bin's whereabouts outside, Mou Biao didn't even dare to have the people from the Jinyiwei. The father and son used communication methods to communicate in the world. Only Mou Bin traveled around, his whereabouts were uncertain, and his communication was not very timely. It was said before that I had arrived in the southwest and entered the mountain. It was extremely inconvenient to send a letter from the mountain to the post station outside. It was already two months ago when Mou Biao received his letter!
Mou Biao nodded, and said to the Silian in the Southwest, remembering Qin Miaoyin who had returned to Bashu, and said,
"I received a letter from Master Qin today, saying that everything was fine. The child was now taken under Master Mu's disciple. His name was emptied... His body has gradually become stronger and has nothing to do with other normal children. It's two coincidental!"
When they left, the child's injuries had not healed yet. Si Lian was worried, and now he felt at ease when he received the letter. Mou Biao nodded, and after thinking about it, he still told Si Lian the truth.
"That child is not a descendant of the Zhu family!"
Four lotus was shocked,
"Isn't it the child of the Zhu family? Is it..."
Mou Biao nodded and told Si Lian all the things Mu Yourong did.
"That man... is my subordinate. I had to deal with him yesterday..."
As he said, he smiled coldly, and said squinted,
"At this time, Concubine Rong is probably already receiving her lover's finger!"
Silian was stunned when she heard this, her face turned pale. Mu Biao saw that she looked bad and immediately regretted that she was about to say this and scared Silian. She hugged his wife's waist and put the person on his own. Sitting down on his legs, he said to his wife softly,
"This kid keeps it, it's a disaster. If he doesn't get rid of him, he will probably implicate his brothers in the future!"
This is something in Mou Biao's yamen. Si Lian naturally didn't want to complain a lot, so she sighed in her heart.
"It would be fine if Concubine Rong just wanted to give birth to a child with that man, but if she had a crush on him... she saw the lover's fingers with her own eyes..."
Thinking of the situation, she couldn't help but feel cold. Xiaolin was really cruel in doing things. She leaned in Mou Biao's arms, looked up at her increasingly mature and resolute face, and knew that this man was actually a ruthless person. That kind of tenderness only gave him and his children, and he did not have any sympathy for others!
But Mu Yourong is really not worthy of sympathy. She is the emperor's woman and has had an affair with the man next to her. If the emperor knows it, not only the two of them, but also her family will be hers. Involved, although Mou Biao was a little more ruthless, he saved the Mu family and the man's family.
Si Lian stretched out her hand to wrap her waist and sighed,
"I hope she can be the emperor's concubine in the future after this incident, and she may be pregnant again!"
Mou Biao sneered,
"Zhu Houzhao won't even think about having a son in this life!"
Silian was stunned,
"How come... The Taoist priests didn't say that the evil spirit had been eliminated? Why would Your Majesty have no more children?"
Mou Biao sneered,
"That evil spirit was caused by him. Although he has been abandoned now, his descendants have been damaged. In the future... even if the emperor comes out, it will no longer belong to his lineage!"
Silian was shocked when she heard this.
"Then no women in this palace... will be pregnant again?"
Mou Biao nodded, put his chin on his wife's shoulder, sniffed the fragrance on her body, and hummed,
"If a woman in the palace has a pregnancy, she must have stole someone!"
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered Gao Ying'er. That woman was extremely ambitious and bold. For the sake of glory and wealth, she could not say that she could really follow Mu Yourong's footsteps!
Humph! It’s her business that she wants to seek death, and I won’t get involved!
In the days that followed, Mou Biao was still devoted to the court, but Si Lian was concentrating on helping Liu take care of the fifth lady's marriage. The eldest son of the Qu family was older, the rest were very suitable for everyone.
Miss Mou Xiulan has seen him twice, but she shyly expressed her intention to marry Liu.
Since Mou Bin left, although Liu still insisted on presiding over the common affairs in the mansion, his smile on his face became less and less, and he lost a lot of weight. He took advantage of this time to organize his little daughter's marriage.
Finally, she became a little cheerful, with a smile on her face, and she became much more energetic. Others seemed to have walked out of the haze of her husband's death, but she knew that she was cheering up for her children and grandchildren!
By September, the fifth lady Mou Xiulan got married. Fu'er and Yuru could already turn over their feet and walk with their short legs. One of them ran away without a trace without seeing them!
Fortunately, Si Lian is surrounded by Mother Wang and a Hongtao who is a child. She uses light body skills to chase the two children every day, but she is not afraid of losing them!
As for Hongyu, who is also a child of the family, she married Mou Long in May and is now pregnant. Si Lian dared not let her take care of the two little naughty ones, so she only asked her to help her manage the accounts and
The warehouse, Cuixi and Cuiqiao are two at home. They are old now. Silian wants to marry them, but they both refuse. They just say that they want to comb their own business and follow their mother for the rest of their lives.
Around the lady.
Si Lian advised each other again and again, but the two refused to accept it. Wang's mother, who knew the inside story, advised him,
"If your wife pity them, take them away... We can't stay in the capital for a few years. They are the ones that the wife is used to, and they can't be loyal. You can rest assured if you use them outside in the future..."
In addition, these girls are from humble backgrounds and are just servants. If they lose the protection of their master's family, their future life may not be better than being in their master's family!
Si Lian also understood this truth, but just sighed,
"I'm afraid it's delaying their youth!"
Mother Wang smiled,
"This is also the wife pity them. There are many favored girls who have not been married for ten years..."
Of course, there is also a girl with good color who was left by the hostess to be the concubine for the male host to be a concubine. However, their family is different from other families. The Eighth Master and his wife have a deep relationship. The Eighth Master never slanders the girls, that's it.
There weren't ten or eight of the stunning women outside, and the Eighth Master had never seen them before, so the girls in this family still had to find a family to get married when they stayed out.
The days just flow like water. When the sixth lady looked at her, it was already another year, and the capital was in winter. For some reason, the winter of this year was very warm, and the moat was frozen only
After a thin layer of ice, some people fell into the moat and drowned after eating too much wine in the middle of the night.
For this reason, the Jinyiwei also had an additional job, which was to patrol the moat in the early morning every day and catch people in it from time to time.
When an experienced old man like Mother Wang sighed and shook his head, he saw him.
"If you have such weather, I'm afraid there will be a major disaster next year!"
Silian asked,
"What did mom say?"
Mother Wang sighed,
"In previous years, heavy snow was pressing down on the ground, freezing all the insects in the field to death. This year's winter snow was only three inches thick. If the insects don't die, many will surely be born in the coming year.
People compete for food, and my wife think about it, will this disaster come?"
Si Lian thought about it after hearing this, and thought about it,
"If we follow my mother's words, I think there will be a very shortage of food in the coming year. We might as well make some preparations earlier..."
Mother Wang nodded,
"What the lady said!"
What Si Lian lacks the most is silver. Even if she is half of it to travel to her father-in-law who travels outside, she is still a lot of money and doesn't know how to spend it. Now she uses it to buy food, which is also a place to go, only the people in the capital.
The big grain merchants have a good idea of purchasing goods. Silian sent someone to ask, and they all said that it would take a large amount of purchase to arrive in Beijing at the beginning of next spring. Silian thought that they would buy them all, so she simply wrote a letter to Gu San.
, let him buy grain in the south.
Gu San saw the letter but remembered that his own boat went out to sea before. When he arrived in the area of Tianzhu and Annan, the food there was cooked three times a year, and it was full. The price was cheap and it was like picking it up for free. At that time, because they were in Jiangnan.
, there is no shortage of food, but I didn't think about buying food. Now that I saw Silian's letter, I simply went to the dock in person, spent money to hire a boat, went south, and collected grain from Guangxi to Annan Belt and Road
Then, turn back to Hangzhou and transport grain from the canal to Tongzhou.
Gu San has been in the south for a long time now and has seen the huge money spent by the merchants in the south. He also hired five ships in one go, plus one of his own ships, and transported all the grains. It was just right to go back and forth.
When the river surface is frozen in spring, the grain can be transported to Tongzhou smoothly.
But when Si Lian received Gu San's letter, she was a little amused and crying.
"But I'm just planning ahead. I'm afraid that my family will have no food to eat, so I just bought some. Why did Mr. Gu send a boat out to buy food outside? I bought so much, and in which year and month do we have to eat?"
When Mou Biao saw the letter, he hugged her and smiled.
"Our Silian is now the most powerful tycoon in the capital. He doesn't care about this little money. He can't finish it, so he opens a grain shop and sells it!"
Si Lian gave him a angrily glance.
"The grain of six ships is enough, and the warehouse in Tongzhou cannot be put down at all... I also have to write to them and let them transport it in batches..."
