Wind rises time and space gate

Chapter 381 It’s not appropriate to take the lead

When the guards at the door of Prince Yue's Mansion saw Lin Jing'an and Li Shi pulling at each other, they glanced at them and ignored them.

This Lin Jing'an should be working for the prince. They all knew him when he came to the mansion. The person who was trying to quarrel with him was named Li, and she came to see Manager Cao. Seeing that General Manager Cao still had some respect for Mr. Li, the guards didn't pay much attention.

Lin Jing'an pulled Li aside. Just as he was about to speak, Lan Zhen slapped his hand down and said, "Dad, let go of Mom!"

Lin Jing'an felt pain and let go of his hand. He looked at his daughter for a moment, then said, "Lan Zhen, don't be ignorant. Go home with your mother quickly. This rich family is not something you can cling to if you want."

Lin Jing'an had been working for the King of Yue in the past few years, and many people fawned over him, but even more people bowed to him. She is used to seeing the behavior of powerful and wealthy people, and she doesn't want her daughter to be humble and petty in front of them.

I want to persuade her to go back, "You are about to get pregnant soon. Your mother and I have already looked after someone else for you. You should do some sewing at home. When the time comes, dad will find a good family for you to marry into..."

"Dad! What kind of family can you find for me! Either a clerk or a banker with a little money." Lin Lanzhen looked disdainful.

Lin Jing'an was stunned, "Our family is just a small family," and he thought for a moment that he could not be a big family.

"Furthermore, although the people that dad found for you are now assistants, they are only nephews who are needed by the shopkeeper. In a few years, they will be able to stand alone. If you don't like them, then dad will find several new ones for you." The owner of a shop has taken a fancy to you, and dad hasn’t responded yet, so you’ll have to make a good choice when the time comes."

Lin Jing'an felt that the nephews and nephews who worked as shopkeepers for wealthy families, who had been in and out of wealthy families, would naturally not be as knowledgeable as those who came from small families. In the future, if you win the favor of the nobles and gain important positions, you will have a good life.

Naturally, they are more respectable than ordinary people who open their own small shops.

I originally opened a shop in a small town, but when I arrived in the capital, I was still nothing? If something happens, I don’t know who to go to.

These are the young guys who work for wealthy families. They are capable and can be valued by their families. Their future is bright. Moreover, with the support of nobles and the support of nobles in case of trouble, they are much better than ordinary people with small wealth who open one or two shops.

Of course, if his daughter doesn't want to, he will respect her opinion.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Jing'an finished speaking, both Li and Lin Lanzhen rolled their eyes. "You said you have been in the capital for several years, but why are you still so petty? Are those people worthy of giving us Lan Zhen?"

Lin Lanzhen was so angry that she didn't want to talk to her biological father.

"Dad, you go and do your business. Mom and I will be together." Without wanting to say more, she turned around and ran towards the corner gate of Prince Yue's Mansion.

Lin Jing'an reacted and wanted to chase him, but in the blink of an eye he had already entered the house.

He stamped his feet on the spot, thinking about what his father and mother had said in the letter, asking him to help Heshun, the eldest nephew, keep an eye on the candidates for his wife when he was walking outside. He thought that he might as well go see Eunuch Cao, firstly, to thank him for bringing letters to the family. , the second is to ask Eunuch Cao for advice.

Lin Jing'an felt that if there was no suitable candidate, his parents would ask him to keep an eye out for any girls in the capital.

As long as those girls who are sold by wealthy families do not make mistakes and are sent away, then her knowledge is better than that of the daughters of Zhuanghu and Linghu families.

Is it better to sell oneself to others as a slave than to marry a gentle man who is a mausoleum?

Lin Jing'an couldn't make up his mind and wanted to ask Eunuch Cao for advice. Eunuch Cao was quite enthusiastic towards him and was willing to give him advice if he had any questions.

Unexpectedly, his wife and daughter went to see the princess, but were told that the princess was not at the house, and finally went to see Eunuch Cao.

Cao Cuo didn't mind it and received the three members of their family.

On the other side, Lin Zhaoxia has been taken back to the Jiang Mansion by Jiang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the best courtyard has been prepared for her to live in.

"This is Qixia Courtyard. It is the most beautiful courtyard in the mansion. Sister, just stay here with peace of mind. If any of the furnishings are not to your liking, just report it to me and I will replace it for my sister."

Jiang Xuyang's wife, Mrs. Wen, led Lin Zhaoxia to Qixia Courtyard and introduced her to the maids and servants serving her and the arrangement of the courtyard.

Lin Zhaoxia looked around the yard with her and nodded with satisfaction, "Sister, thank Mrs. Jiang for me. She arranged everything properly and gave me the best yard. I don't know how to express my gratitude. "

Wen Shi felt relieved and had a smile on her face, "What my sister said, do our two families still need to say those polite words? As long as my sister is satisfied."

“Nothing is unsatisfactory.”

After Lin Zhaoxia settled down, Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Wen also invited the masters of the house to introduce her.

I have seen Jiang Xuyang and Wen's children, Jiang Xiang's other children, Jiang Xiang's two concubines, and Jiang Xuyang's first wife.

Although Jiang Xiang's two concubines both had children, they seemed to respect Mrs. Jiang very much, and their concubines were also obedient. They blamed Zhao Guangyuan for saying that the family affairs in the Jiang family were simple and there was nothing to worry about.

It seems that Jiang Xiang is a fair man, and Mrs. Jiang manages the family well. It seems that she can learn a few more tricks from Mrs. Chiang.

Later, she saw the two nuns and several girls that Mrs. Jiang had prepared for her.

"I thought that when you first came to the capital, the prince said that you had no one around you, so I took it upon myself to give you a few maids. Don't worry, they are all loyal ones. You can use them without worry. what ever."

Mrs. Jiang handed a box to Lin Zhaoxia, which contained the personal deeds of these people. Lin Zhaoxia did not look at it and asked Jinxiu who followed to accept it.

"You will be the princess soon, so you should have all the pomp and pomp." Mrs. Jiang pointed to Wen who was standing aside, "Besides my daughter-in-law, there are four stewards, four big maids, and six second-class maids. Huan, eight third-class maids, there are also rough servant girls in the courtyard, accompanying boys, and housekeepers... you only have more."

Lin Zhaoxia couldn't help but be speechless after hearing this. How much monthly silver will this cost? Tsk tsk, this ordinary portal really can’t support it.

The Jiang family is low-key on the outside and looks inconspicuous, but when you get inside, you realize that this is the standard for a powerful family. Tsk tsk.

As if she knew what she was thinking, Mrs. Jiang pursed her lips and smiled, "You don't have to save money for your prince. Others don't know, but my father and I don't know?"

Many of the properties of the King of Yue are managed by the Jiang clan, not to mention the glass workshops outside, but also the fancy pet shop in the capital that makes a fortune every day, specializing in picking the pockets of rich people. I am afraid that there will be no rich people left in the capital.

Lin Zhaoxia smiled and said, "I don't know how much my prince earns, but I do know that he spends a lot. He always says he is short of money and cannot make ends meet."

"That was in the first few years. If he dares to say that now, my little grandson wouldn't believe it."

Wen's youngest son, Jiang Boyuan, was only four years old. He was not at school age like his elder brother. He was studying with his wife. At this moment, he and his grandmother were meeting guests in the hall. He was originally staring at the guest Lin Zhaoxia, but now he heard his grandmother talking about him and didn't hear what the adult said clearly, so he nodded, "I don't believe it."

It made everyone laugh. Lin Zhaoxia was shocked that she had missed her childhood. Now when she saw the soft and cute child, she couldn't resist. She brought little Boyuan to her side and stroked her up and down, "It's so cute. Next time, aunt Auntie will bring you something good."

"Okay!" The child understood and nodded excitedly.

Wen Shi smiled and scolded: "You still say hello. You don't have enough good things to accept from your uncle Yue Wang." After saying that, he saw Lin Zhaoxia looking like he wanted to take little Boyuan home. It looked like I felt sorry for her again.

The prince was so harmed that he could no longer have any heirs, and this sister Lin would have nothing left at her knees in the future. Alas, I can't help but feel sad for her. What woman doesn't want to be a mother?

"younger sister……"

Just when she opened her mouth, seeing Mrs. Jiang shaking her head at her, Wen changed her words and said, "Sister, don't be coaxed by this kid. No matter how many good things he wants, it won't be enough."

He asked grandma to take little Boyuan and the other children out to play, and then said: "The prince has left the two aunts sent by the queen in the mansion. Fortunately, my mother found these two aunts who retired from the palace for my sister."

Ask the two nuns to come and see Lin Zhaoxia.

"This servant's surname is Wei. She used to serve the late emperor's concubine. Later, she left the palace and returned to her parents' home... After paying her last respects to her parents, she came out again to find another job."

"This servant's surname is Kong. I was in the Palace of Etiquette Bureau earlier..."

Both nuns are nearly fifty years old. They both had family members before. After the death of Concubine Li, Aunt Wei left the palace and returned to her hometown to give her parents a happy ending. As she got older, she might not be tolerated by her brothers, nephews, or she didn't want to look down on her family members. Come out and find work.

Before leaving the palace, Grandma Kong served as a female official in the Shangyi Bureau. Shangyi Bureau is in charge of the etiquette and daily life of the emperor and the concubines. He was ostracized in the palace, and after having achieved meritorious service, he asked for favor and left the palace. Over the years, he has been in the capital's rich and wealthy families, teaching girls how to behave and etiquette. Now that he is getting older, he wants to find a reliable master to support him in his old age.

"As long as the two mothers are loyal, the prince and I will definitely provide for the two of them to die in old age, so that they can die with dignity."

The two nuns knelt down to express their gratitude: "Thank you so much, Princess! From now on, we will only recognize the Princess as our master." They expressed their loyalty.

The first empress, Lu Shi, they had dealt with in the palace. They were quite sentimental about her early death. Now they were valued by the King of Yue and summoned them to the princess to give them support in their old age. People are grateful in their hearts. I just hope to take what I have learned throughout my life and give something back.

After getting two nuns to express their loyalty, and receiving a house of servants and several girls as gifts from Mrs. Jiang, Lin Zhaoxia suddenly felt that the manpower was not so short.

I thought that if there were any shortcomings, Mrs. Jiang could ask someone to bring some people over before the wedding and select a few more.

"I'm going to disturb Madam these days. Madam, please don't hide it. I'm so blinded by this. I'm still hoping that Madam will treat me like her own nephew and give me everything she has."

Seeing Mrs. Lin's friendly appearance and humility and respect, Mrs. Jiang felt inspired. "Princess, just don't worry, my daughter-in-law and daughter won't teach you what to do in my belly, so I will teach you one."

Wen Shi refused, "Mother, you are partial now. I will complain to my husband later."

"Go ahead and see if he stands on your end or on mine."

"Huh, mother is bullying."

The atmosphere in the room was particularly harmonious. Lin Zhaoxia then lived in the Jiang Mansion as a relative of the Jiang clan.

As long as I was awake, I would either follow the Jiang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to learn about accounting, housekeeping, and management, or listen to them talk about the relationship between the nobles in the capital, or learn the rules and etiquette from the two nuns Wei and Kong, and I would not be idle for a moment.

After Zhao Guangyuan sent Lin Zhaoxia away, he went to his restaurant and met Guan Zhong.

After checking out the drinks and various sauces he sent me, I was very satisfied. "Is the output in Qingzhou stable and can it possibly supply what is needed in Beijing?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Not to mention our restaurant, if we open several more restaurants, we can supply it. The manager also asked me to ask Your Majesty, there is a lot of inventory now, and there is no place to put it. Should I take some and sell it at a discount? That's okay." To increase the popularity of our drinks and sauces and create some enthusiasm for the opening of the restaurant?"

Zhao Guangyuan shook his head, "No need. Once the restaurant is open and you taste it, you won't have to worry about selling the wine and sauces. There is no need to open an extra sauce shop and just sell them in limited quantities in the restaurant. I am afraid that Qingzhou will not be able to supply them. "

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the workshop works in three shifts and works at 12 o'clock. The daily output is sufficient and the inventory is sufficient. There is no need to worry about supply."

"Where are the raw materials? Maybe they can be supplied?"

"There is no shortage of raw materials. The villages in Qingzhou have arranged to grow soybeans, kidney beans, glutinous rice and other products, and Yuezhou is also sending a steady stream of them."

"That's good. When escorting, we should still let the escort bureaus from all over the country escort the car and make sure there are no mistakes. We also ask the security bureaus from all over the place not to forget their duties, and the intelligence reports from all over the place must be reported in time."

"Yes."

The two had an in-depth conversation about the escort agency affairs again...

"As long as there is our escort agency, they have now opened inns. Firstly, it provides convenience for the escort agency to transport goods all the way. Secondly, it can better collect and deliver information. Now there are three inns in Qingzhou, business is booming, and customers come in like clouds. .”

"Well, I urge all states and counties to keep a low profile and not let others take advantage of the loopholes or find out about this prince." A prince who has no heirs and chooses to lie down is going around to build properties and collect information. What does he want to do? ?
The first rafter will die first, and it is not a good time for him to take the lead now.

"Yes. I understand."

At night, the palace seemed particularly quiet without Lin Zhaoxia.

Originally, Prince Yue's Mansion was so quiet. There was only one master, Prince Yue, and not many servants. When it got dark, except for the main courtyard, all the courtyards in the southeast and northwest were pitch black without any candlelight. There will be no singing, dancing or music of silk and bamboo.

Zhao Guangyuan was used to this kind of life, but now Lin Zhaoxia came and came to him. He had just gotten used to the days when there were people around him asking for help, but now they were leaving the house again.

Zhao Guangyuan suddenly felt uncomfortable.

He didn't go to the main courtyard either. He got into the guest courtyard where Lin Zhaoxia lived and never came out. Cao Cuo followed behind and tried to persuade him several times, but failed to do so, so he had no choice but to ask his servants to follow him and wait on him, and let him go.

At night, covered with the quilt Lin Zhaoxia had slept on, and the pillow she had slept on, Zhao Guangyuan soon fell asleep.

"Seventh Prince, something happened!"

What happened? What happened? Zhao Guangyuan followed the visitor and rode a fast horse to the East Palace. He saw a sea of ​​blood in the East Palace and screams. Something really happened!
