Chapter 317 Going to the Countryside

The old lady and Mrs. Liu were impatient to hear this, but they also knew that it was related to the government, so they didn't make any noise. When Su Mingxi said that he was worried that "people who are not of my race will have different hearts, and there will inevitably be chaos in the future. I'm afraid we will have to send troops to suppress it, so that we can continue to develop in the future." At the time, Ruan Yunsi couldn't help but interjected: "What's so difficult? I only want to use force to solve the problem. I don't want to think about how many Han people there are. How many are there? Look at the Dai people. In the beginning, they still insisted on wearing their national clothes and admiring their gods. Now, don’t they also wear Han clothes, worship Bodhisattvas, and let their children learn the way of Confucius and Mencius? Compared with our Central Plains, those ethnic groups , they are more than a star behind, don’t they yearn for our culture? At that time, no matter what nationality, they will all respect the way of Confucius and Mencius, and intermarriage, isn’t it just a big family? Where is there any need to go to war?”

Su Liuyun smiled and said: "Grandma's insight is really extraordinary. This is a good way, but it is not easy to implement. Those foreigners have strong tribal concepts, which are different from the Dai people who have fled here for thousands of miles. If you want to assimilate them , but it’s not that easy.”

When he said that, Su Mingxi was lost in thought.Although Ruan Yunsi didn't say the specific method just now, the general direction she mentioned made Su Mingxi Maosai suddenly enlightened, thinking secretly: Liaodong has always been backward and barren, if I hadn't spoken to the emperor, and the emperor wanted a world of peace , I'm afraid they may not be willing to put in the effort to develop that place.When those tribes were poor, they had to unite as one. Could it be that after they were rich and each had their own interests, could they still be united like this?At that time, using various methods to gradually weaken their tribal concepts, and intermarry and live together with the Han people in Liaodong, wouldn't that mean solving the potential crisis in Liaodong without bloodshed? "

Because the more I thought about it, the more excited I was, I had already listed several plans in my mind, and suddenly Ruan Yunsi said with a smile: "Okay, you guys don't want to talk about Liaodong, let alone old ladies, even I am bored. "

Xu Jinpeng said with a smile: "Then let's talk about the share of brocades in the future? Now that Liuyun and I have set up a cloth shop, can we finally get Grandma's Yunxi brocades? It's just that the supply of your two factories is in short supply. , It is far from enough for our Yunjin Dacloth to dominate the cloth market, grandma has to step up and open a few more weaving and dyeing factories, and if there is a shortage of manpower, Liuyun and I can provide it for you."

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "Now I don't care about these things, you just talk to our master." Even though she said this, she knew that Su Mingxi would definitely discuss it with herself, but in front of the old lady and Mrs. Also pretend to be a virtuous and virtuous wife.

Only then did Xu Jinpeng realize that he was too excited, so this topic was a little rash, and he quickly changed his mind with other words.After everyone talked for a while, Zhong Xiu came in and said, "There are only two dishes left, and it's already past noon. The old lady is going to be hungry, should I set the meal now?"

Su Mingxi said: "Set the meal, let's set a table in the main room, and Jinpeng Liuyun and I will sit and eat together." After speaking, Mrs. Liu said: "Where did you go just now?" Brother Xu and Gouzi went home and brought back two deer legs and a few roe deer and mountain rabbits."

Ruan Yunsi was surprised: "Brother Xu and Gouzi are back too?"

Su Mingxi smiled and said: "Yes, their grades are very good. They can only study in the Imperial College on weekdays. This time I specially asked for leave for them to come back. It doesn't matter if you didn't see it. In the afternoon, they and their parents I will probably come to pay my respects to the old lady."

Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "Then hurry up and eat, the old lady will be swayed for a while after eating, I am afraid that soon, all the villagers will come to pay a visit."

Although Mrs. Yang didn't like to put on airs, she was very happy to be respected by the simple villagers in this village, and she ordered Ruan Yunsi to prepare a reward, saying that coming here disturbed the villagers and she couldn't accept their gift in vain. "

The meals were cooked by Zhong Xiubiqiu and the cooks they brought. There are carp stewed with tofu, pork ribs with potatoes and eggplants, bacon with kidney beans, pheasant stewed with mushrooms, etc. Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Liu only smell the big pot of stewed dishes The aroma will make you feel very appetizing.

For a while, there was chatter and laughter inside and outside the house.After Ruan Yunsi settled here, she went to several other places, and she was relieved when she saw that she had eaten everything.After returning to the house, the old matriarch smiled and said, "You have worked hard today, the dishes left for you are still hot, eat them quickly."

Ruan Yunsi agreed, and ordered Fangcao Biqiu to put the kang table in the inner room, but after eating half a bowl of rice and a few chopsticks, she said she was full, and asked the maids to eat up the rest of the food, and she came out to accompany the old lady Jun and Mrs. Liu were talking, but they saw that they were sleeping with their eyes closed on the quilt, so they didn't bother, and lightly covered them with a light cloak, and then went out, swept the book and hurried forward, and said to her: "Grandpa and the fifth and third sons went to the factory, and they said they would be back later, so that grandma can also take advantage of this time to rest quickly."

Ruan Yunsi also went to the back room, and told Fangcao, "I'll be swaying too, the old lady will call me when she wakes up."

Fangcao smiled and said: "Grandma, rest assured, leave everything to the slaves. The same goes for Bi Qiu and Miss Xiu. It is obvious that they are home, and there will be no sign when they come here."

After finishing speaking, Ruan Yunsi smiled and said: "Let them be at ease for a while, it's rare to come back. I also want to visit the factory, but I can't leave right now. Let's see if someone will accompany the old lady in the afternoon Talk, Grandpa is back, I'll go and have a look."

She was indeed tired. For such a trip, Ruan Yunsi had been preparing for such a trip two or three days ago, and today she has been busy for half a day. As soon as her head was pressed against the quilt, her eyelids closed involuntarily.

This sleep was very sound and sweet, when Fangcao woke her up and asked the time, but it was only half a quarter of an hour, but the tiredness on her body was swept away.It reminded Ruan Yunsi of a theory she read in modern times, saying that after being tired, the quality of sleep is particularly good. Compared with those who sleep lightly, one hour of high-quality sleep can beat others for an hour and a half. Now that I think about it, this may not be true. It doesn't make sense, today's half a quarter of an hour nap is more refreshing than the usual night's sleep in the Duke's mansion.

"Grandma, there is a daughter-in-law who is talking back and forth, and she dare not make her own decisions, otherwise the servants will not wake you up." But listening to Fang Cao's soft voice, Ruan Yunsi saw a woman poking her head at the door, so she got off the kang and went out to have a look. , the old lady and Mrs. Liu were still leaning on the quilt, as if they were sleeping soundly, she went out, led the daughter-in-law to the main room, and said softly: "What are you unsure about?"

The daughter-in-law laughed in a low voice: "A few boys at the door came to report that some old people were waiting to see the old lady, and let the servants come in to announce that the servants saw the old ladies asleep, but in this hot weather, the It’s not good to let those old people wait outside, once something happens, it’s not a joke.”

Ruan Yunsi nodded and said: "So that's the case, I understand, um... Let's invite those old people to serve tea in the Li family's room at the back, and wait for the old lady to wake up..." Before finishing speaking, she I heard the old lady say in the room: "Who is talking outside?"

Ruan Yunsi hurried in, and seeing that Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Liu were both awake, she quickly smiled and said, "But the granddaughter-in-law disturbed the old lady's sleep? I really have to make amends." After she finished speaking, Mrs. Yang said with a smile "It has nothing to do with you. A nap is just a short nap. I always wake up after touching the pillow for a while. Otherwise, how can I sleep at night? What are you talking about outside?"

Ruan Yunsi told the daughter-in-law's report, and Mrs. Yang became very excited, and hurriedly said: "Since that's the case, please come in quickly. When I came, I just wanted to talk to some old people who have been around for a long time. Now I'm finally waiting. Yes, they are all elderly people, so there is no way to tell them to wait outside."

Ruan Yunsi then went out to pass on a message, and after a while, several old ladies came in to say hello, others were fine, but there was only one old man, Ruan Yunsi looked familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while, and suddenly heard that a weekday next to her was called the third mother-in-law The old lady smiled and said: "Miss... grandma doesn't know her? He is the mother of Lian's daughter-in-law. Back then, the old lady forced her son and daughter-in-law to have nowhere to go, and almost hit a tree. She was saved by the little father-in-law." , and scared the shrew away."

Ruan Yunsi just remembered and said with a smile: "Yes, I've been busy all this time, and this mother-in-law doesn't come out often, so she feels her eyes are raw. How is it? Your old man is in good health? Looking at this body, it is still stronger than before some."

The old lady quickly thanked Ruan Yunsi for her concern, and here Mrs. Yang also smiled and said: "I vaguely remember that Mingxi went back and said this. Today is the rightful owner? Please sit on the kang soon."

Those old people were worried at first, not knowing how such a wealthy old lady would despise themselves and others, but now seeing that this old lady is very rich, but she is smiling and approachable, so she is not so embarrassed. She didn't dare to sit on the kang, so she just sat on the edge of the kang. Ruan Yunsi brought some chairs and let the remaining old people sit down and chat with the old lady.

Here she asked Mrs. Liu for leave, just when Su Yinyu and Su Yincai came back from the outside, Ruan Yunsi grabbed her and said with a smile: "You two ran away without a trace, let me wait here for half a day For my filial piety, let me take care of you now, and I should also go to my factory to have a look."

Before Su Yinyu and Su Yincai, under the leadership of Xiaobai Afeng, the two "little local snakes", had a good time in the village. When they came back and saw that Ruan Yunsi was the only one working here, the two of them felt a little guilty. Hearing what she said, she couldn't help sticking out her tongue, and said with a quick smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we are here."
