Chapter 263
At night, Lin Baozhu wanted to discuss with Madam Liu about her going south, so after Shengjin fell asleep, she wanted to give Chunxi a hug and sleep in the back room.
But before Chunxi took it, the little guy opened his eyes with his mouth curled up. Maybe he saw his mother's intentions, and immediately his eyes turned red with grievance, and a pair of small hands grabbed his mother's clothes vigorously. not loose.Even when Chunxi tricked him with gadgets, he ignored it.
Lin Baozhu looked sad, saying that children are the most able to feel the emotions of adults, this is really true.It's like Sheng Jin, who is only a baby for a few months, but she is also afraid that she will abandon herself.
One must know that every time Chunxi took out his playthings, the little guy would be so happy that he wouldn't even bother looking for her as a mother.At that time, she would often grit her teeth and poke him on the forehead to say something unconscionable, but she didn't want her son to really not want to leave her now, but it made her feel sore and unbearable.
"Forget it, he's used to sleeping with me these days, so let him stay in the big room and sleep." After saying that, Lin Baozhu hugged him in his arms and patted him gently to sleep.Maybe because he was still worried about being taken away, even if he fell asleep, the little guy still grabbed his mother's clothes and wouldn't let go.
After the baby in her arms had settled down to sleep, Lin Baozhu sighed and started talking to Nanny Liu and the maidservants.
"I've thought about going south for a long time. Now there are many shops in Zhangji in the south, and there are also a lot of food. But if it's just me sending a letter, I'm afraid many greedy people will not give it their all. Only by going there in person can Zhang Ji’s control over the shops in the distance be strengthened, and it will also give the disaster-stricken area a way to survive.”
"Ma'am, this is not feasible, not to mention the refugees along the way, there are countless grass bandits who fell into the grass, if you go rashly, I'm afraid it's not safe." Although Xiang Ming and the others were worried, they were not as good as Liu Mama Mama has experienced many things, so she sees things clearly.
"Besides, at such a juncture, the emperor will not allow you to leave Beijing."
Right now, the Lord Protector is ordered to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and carry a huge amount of relief money to the south, and his whereabouts are unknown.Just putting the prince in a dangerous situation is enough to make the emperor hate the Duke Huguo's mansion, not to mention that if the prince makes a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous.
And the 800 million taels of disaster relief silver, no matter where it is used, or it is stolen by others, in the end, this pot of dirty water will only be held on Zhang Mandun.
Not to mention whether Zhang Mantun can return to Beijing smoothly, even if he does, I'm afraid he will not be able to argue.The casualties in the disaster area will also become the reason for his felony.
Don't worry about Duke Zhang Mantun and Lin Baozhu doing a lot of great things for the country and the people, and even got a lot of praise and respect, but facing the royal family, that is just a fleeting moment.
As for Lin Baozhu and Sheng Jin in Beijing, they were the emperor's bargaining chips to contain Zhang Mandun, they were a tie and a threat.Whenever Zhang Mandun made any changes, Lin Baozhu and his wife would be the first to be questioned.
Hearing Mammy Liu's cryptic suggestion, Lin Baozhu let out a deep and weak breath. She claimed to have seen the scene before.But she still couldn't adapt to this kind of life in the capital where the classes were distinct, sophistic and unpredictable. In fact, she knew in her heart that it was not because she was not calm enough or calm enough.It's like right now, one moment is still the emperor's mighty sage/favor/excellence, and the next moment it can be threatened, monitored, implicated and questioned.
She took a deep breath, barely suppressing the irritability in her heart.Husband and wife are one, in order to prevent Zhang Mantun from having different ideas, the emperor really did everything possible.Earlier, she only thought that her man was punished and dismissed as a first-class general, and that she missed the opportunity to fight in the battlefield again because her man did not go to court when she passed out.
Now that I think about it, it was just to weaken his influence in the army. After all, the feats that have been rare in a hundred years all fell on him. Even if he was not afraid at the beginning, how could the emperor not worry about his achievements afterwards?Fortunately, my man is still useful to the royal family at the moment, otherwise I'm afraid he would have ended up like a dead dog.
Thinking of this, Lin Baozhu's heart suddenly seemed to be enlightened. Right now, Zhang Ji's business is going smoothly, and the shops and Zhuangzi are spread all over Dazhou.Even the tea business and the business on the riverbank have long since gone to barbaric places with merchants from all over the world, and now the Wen family has given up the idea of buying goods from overseas, and most of the time it is said that Zhang Ji's goods are shipped overseas. sell.
This back and forth, Zhang Ji has accumulated a huge amount of wealth within two years.At the same time, Zhang Ji also gained an excellent reputation.An imperial merchant or a wealthy businessman, no matter which one they are, is enough to make people look sideways, and it is also enough to attract the covetousness of the superiors.
When I looked at history in my previous life, I often felt that how many red-capped businessmen did not die well.There are many wealthy businessmen, but their families are ruined overnight.At that time, I just felt that the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by ant nests. If those people had not lost their virtue, how could their business be ruined in the end?
However, when she was really in the situation, she realized how could this be explained by the words of Xiao He, Xiao He, and Xiao He?If it weren't for the high-ranking people who wanted to do it, how could they lose overnight with the financial resources and connections of the rich and wealthy?
This is just similar to the clips of joking and gentry back then. In the end, no matter how much wealth there is, doesn't it all fill the treasury?
Just when Lin Baozhu's heart was cold and her whole body was stiff without realizing it, the little guy on the bed beside her turned over and kicked her leg. Maybe she didn't feel comfortable, but the little guy was still twitching. He pursed his lips and whimpered twice.And Lin Baozhu also woke up from the daze in an instant and broke out in cold sweat.
She felt the temperature of the chubby feet next to her hand, and watched her son sleep soundly as he twisted his chubby body.One small hand is still under the small head, and the other hand is holding a flower and dragging the small chin, which is very lovely to look at.
Lin Baozhu's heart softened when she saw it, and she didn't dare to think about it any more, she just covered him with a small quilt, and seeing that he was still sleeping soundly and sweetly, she was a little relieved.
She can't do whatever she wants with this matter, even if it's for her son and to protect the family, she can't ignore other things.Even if she wanted Zhang Ji to continue to develop, she had to find a way to protect her family business first.
"Ma'am." Xiang Tea glanced at Lin Baozhu, whose face was pale with worry, and called out in a low voice.
At this moment, Lin Baozhu, who came back to his senses, shook his head slightly, and forced a smile with the corners of his mouth.It's just that laughing is not much better than crying.
"Mommy, let someone hand over a sign to the palace tomorrow. I want to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager." Lin Baozhu made up her mind, since she couldn't resist the rules of this era, then follow it.No matter how monstrous wealth is, it is no match for a family staying together in peace and stability.
Grandma Liu was stunned for a moment, but even though she was a little puzzled, she didn't know why Madam entered the palace at this time, but she still obediently answered her words.
That night, Lin Baozhu slept for a while with her soft, chubby son in her arms, but Xu had too many worries in her heart, so she couldn't sleep well.For some reason, in the middle of the night, she dreamed of her original body and that dilapidated and dark courtyard again, and this time she did enter through the gate. Wasn't there a plaque of the Lin Mansion hanging crookedly on the gate?
Early the next morning, Nanny Liu went to the palace to hand out the sign.Then, he went to invite the wife of the little general Fuyuan, that is, Zhao Di and the others.Naturally, Miss Jinruo also put down her business affairs and came together.
On weekdays, a few people often get together to chat and rest, so Zhang Xiuniang and Zhao Di really didn't think there was anything wrong with being invited here this time.It's just that when he entered the door, he heard Jin Ruo, the big girl, whisper that her mother was probably worried about her father, and asked them to help explain it.
Just entering the room, I saw Baozhu sister sitting on the bed, looking at the little meat pier on the bed, having fun, and the maids who served beside her were also teasing, but Zhang Xiuniang didn't know what to say for a while.
Lin Baozhu smiled and beckoned her to sit down, and then asked about Zhaodi's life after getting married, seeing her blushing, and Xiuniang's sister-in-law was also smiling and satisfied.She didn't know that the young couple must have a very good relationship, and it must be honey.
"Sixth son is good, and Zhaodi is also sensible and capable, sister-in-law, you can expect to enjoy the blessings in the future." Lin Baozhu smiled, and pulled back the one who was about to turn over to the bed with his teeth and claws.And the little guy was not annoyed, instead he gesticulated and said something to Lin Baozhu, then turned over and rolled towards the elder sister.
Jin Ruo has long been used to his younger brother's behavior of taking possession of his arms, so why don't he just open his hands and grab him in his arms?As soon as this person got into his arms, he was dishonest, and hurriedly grabbed her earrings and hair rope, perhaps seeing her wrinkled face to scare him, the little guy was still giggling happily, and then directly He hugged the elder sister's face and kissed her.
He was not sure what to do, but this kiss made Jin Ruo's face drool.Naturally, he also grabbed Jin Ruo a few times, and he had to slap his chubby little butt hard before he calmed down aggrievedly.
The little guy was a little distressed after being beaten, he tilted his head and wondered why the eldest sister had a tiger face, but after being troubled for a while, he simply didn't think about it anymore.He twisted his body crookedly into a twist shape, went up to rub the big sister's face in a fawning manner, and then said a word indistinctly: "Da da."
This opening made everyone in the room stunned for a moment, and the little guy opened his mouth too early.Maybe it was just imitating the voice of Jin Ruo when he said the beating?
