Lin Chengyu is only twenty-eight years old this year, which is when a man is at his most energetic. But young Lin Chengyu has been the head of the Lin family for nearly ten years.
The Lin family originally had not many heirs in Lin Chengyu's generation, but two brothers and one sister passed away early. Now, only Lin Chengyu, a young man, is left in the direct line of the Lin family to support the huge Lin family.
Although Lin Chengyu is young, he is quite talented in business.
Ten years later, the Lin family has become more prosperous than when Mr. Lin was here.
"Uncle!" Luo Junyao and Xie Yan walked into Cai Tea House and walked directly to Lin Chengyu.
Lin Chengyu looked at his niece with a smile, his eyes were gentle and kind, "Here we come, she is more beautiful than last year."
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Uncle is also more handsome than last year. Uncle, do I have a little aunt?"
Lin Chengyu knocked her forehead helplessly and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Luo Junyao made a face at him, "I'm not talking nonsense."
Lin Chengyu sighed, glanced at Xie Yan who was following Luo Junyao, and felt that he had nothing to say.
How could he expect a man who doted on his wife to control his wife's words and deeds?
Although as an uncle, Lin Chengyu was very satisfied with Xie Yan's doting on his niece, he still felt a little helpless occasionally.
Long before he went to Shangyong, he had heard about the regent's love for the princess. But when he actually arrived at Shangyong and learned about it carefully, he realized that those things he had heard about were just small things, and he had not seen them.
No man has ever been so indulgent and doting on his wife.
Of course, his little niece also deserves this indulgence and love.
Luo Junyao stopped teasing his uncle, pulled Xie Yan to sit down beside him, and said with a smile, "Uncle, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Lin Chengyu shook his head and said: "No, I got the news in advance. I just arrived half an hour earlier than you. What happened to you on the way?"
Luo Jun said: "It's nothing, just a few little thieves."
Speaking of this, Luo Junyao couldn't help but frown: "Uncle, are there many thieves like this in the south who just block roads and rob?"
"Otherwise, what do you think?" Lin Chengyu said: "There are many mountains and rivers in the south, and it is much more difficult for the government to manage them. In some places, a mountain is a bandit den. If you want to do business, it will be even more difficult without connections and strength.
"
Lin Chengyu said with a bit of interest, "There are still people who don't have the foresight to intercept you?"
Luo Junyao spread his hands helplessly and said, "Isn't it because he doesn't have eyes?"
"Then there's no need to waste two days?"
Xie Yan smiled lightly and said: "The princess was so angry that she destroyed several nearby hills."
Lin Chengyu raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "It's useless."
Bandits will gradually disappear in some places as long as the government suppresses them enough.
But in some places, like weeds, they grow again when the spring breeze blows.
And Ningzhou is such a place.
"Actually, it's pretty good now. All the powerful bandits in Ningzhou have been wiped out by Jin Yan, and the rest are just small characters. They can't do anything big, they just can't be wiped out. Jin Yan said, he wants Ning Huai
Bandits and bandits are extinct in the two states, so just suppressing the bandits is useless. The conditions here are too poor, the people are poor, and many people are forced to become bandits. Therefore, if you want to cut off the banditry, you must manage the place well."
Xie Yan nodded and said: "Jin Yan is right. The "Book on Bandits" he submitted to the court was very thorough. He has also done a good job in the past two years, but it still needs some time."
Luo Junyao held his cheeks and said, "I haven't seen my eldest brother for two or three years."
Lin Chengyu said: "Your eldest brother is very good. When we go back this time, we can borrow a road from Ningzhou to Huaizhou and go see him."
Luo Jun shook his head and looked at Xie Yan with a smile. Xie Yan nodded and said, "That's what we planned too."
Lin Chengyu nodded, stood up and said: "Let's go, the boat at the pier is ready. Get on the boat this evening and we will arrive in Zhangzhou tomorrow morning."
Luo Junyao cheered, "I haven't been to sea for a long time."
Lin Chengyu chuckled lightly, looked at her with a half-smile and said, "The commotion you made last time when you went to sea was quite big. Please show mercy to the Princess Regent. The small place of Zhangzhou cannot withstand such a commotion from you."
Zhangzhou is naturally not a small place. Its area is more than a hundred times larger than Yingzhou Island.
The Lin family's boat was parked at the seaside pier not far from the town. From a distance, Luo Junyao saw a slim figure standing on the deck of the huge merchant ship. Luo Jun shook his feet and flew towards the ship.
Lin Chengyu looked at this scene and couldn't help turning his head and smiling at Xie Yan beside him: "Shao Yao is already twenty years old, right? Are you still so out of touch?"
Xie Yan said sternly: "Yaoyao has always known the importance of things, and is not a person who just makes trouble. In a place like Shangyong, it is good to have a cheerful and lively personality." At least he will not wrong himself.
Lin Chengyu naturally knew that Luo Junyao was not a troublemaker. This niece seemed a little childish, but at critical moments she was the one who could support the entire Regent's Palace.
Her determination to kill is not even inferior to Xie Yan's.
"The period of filial piety for the Empress Dowager has passed, and you still don't plan to have a child?" After careful calculation, it has been more than three and a half years since Yaoyao walked in. These two people are so loving but have never had a child. Those people in Shangyong are really
Aren't you going to break your tongue?
Obviously this is not the first time Xie Yan has been asked this question.
Xie Yan thought for a while and said, "Shaoyao said it would be better to have children after the age of twenty-two."
Lin Chengyu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "You just listen to what she says?"
Xie Yan said: "Why not? I don't want her to have children at a young age. If she doesn't want to have children...it doesn't matter."
"..." Lin Chengyu felt that it was only at this moment that he truly admired his nephew-in-law, who was several years older than him.
In this world, it is not only rare for a man to tell his wife that she will not give birth if she doesn't want to, it is simply bizarre.
Xie Yan didn't take it seriously. Although he also hoped that he and Yao Yao could have a child, it would be fine if Yao Yao didn't like it. Anyway, it wouldn't make any difference if they raised Ah Cheng.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The most important thing for men in the world is to pass on the family line, but Xie Yan does not think that there is any need to pass on the bloodline of King Mu.
"Sister Tantai!" Luo Junyao landed lightly on the deck and smiled brightly at Tantai Feng.
Tantai Feng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The Qing Gong has improved a lot, long time no see."
"Long time no see!" Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Why is Sister Tantai here?"
Tantai Feng said: "Aren't you here to welcome the regent and the princess?"
Luo Junyao said: "Then I am flattered."
Tantai Feng said with a smile: "Okay, I can't let the princess be surprised. In addition to coming to pick you up, I also want to follow the Lin family to see the newly built ship. In the past two years, the Lin family has always hidden it, and now the ships are officially
When you go into the water, you have to let me take a look first to see if there's anything special about it, right? What do you think, Princess, are you sure?"
Luo Jun shook his head and said: "My uncle asked Sister Tantai to come here, so it is obvious that it has been approved. Why does Sister Tantai still ask me as a guest?"
Tantai Feng smiled helplessly and said, "Look at how clever you are."
Luo Jun shook Tantai Feng's arm and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Have you made any progress with my uncle?"
Tantai Feng said: "I can't afford to offend your uncle, so forget it. Making money is more important."
ah?
Luo Junyao was stunned. It had only been two or three years, but had Sister Tantai already changed her mind?
Seeing that her uncle also looked completely uncaring, I'm afraid that when the second brother gets married, his uncle's marriage will not be settled yet.
While the two were talking, Lin Chengyu and Xie Yan also came onto the boat.
"Shao Yao, what are you talking about?" Lin Chengyu asked, he had an intuition that the niece didn't have anything nice to say.
Luo Junyao immediately let go of Tantai Feng and smiled obediently: "No, I'm just catching up with Sister Tantai."
Xie Yan and Luo Junyao will come to Ningzhou this time or even follow Lin Chengyu to Zhangzhou. Naturally, they are not here to play.
The imperial court had already completed the warship drawings that Luo Junyao had provided to Xie Yan.
News also came from the Lin family that the merchant ship that the Lin family helped build has been completed.
Xie Yan and Luo Junyao came out this time to inspect various places. They first went to Dongzhou Navy to see the warships, and then went all the way south. Now they are going to the Lin family's shipyard in Zhangzhou to see the merchant ships built by the Lin family.
In fact, the Lin family's first ship had been built more than a year ago and had been put into the water for trial trials. However, Luo Junyao's generous request to build four ships at a time made even a big shipbuilding company like the Lin family a little worried.
After all, this is a newly designed ship. If there are any flaws that are not easy to find, it will cost a lot of money at a time.
But after the first boat tested the water, Lin Chengyu felt relieved.
He immediately ordered the shipyard to make every effort to build a ship for his niece, and even went to Shangyong in person to talk to Luo Junyao about the matter.
Now that all four ships have been built, Xie Yan and Luo Junyao naturally want to come and take a look.
The Lin family's boat headed south and arrived at the port of Zhangzhou early the next morning.
Zhangzhou is an island surrounded by the sea. In the early morning, the sun rises from the sea level, and the pier is gradually becoming lively.
There were workers moving goods, businessmen doing business, and local people doing small businesses around the dock.
Together, these people broke the tranquility of the early morning, making the entire pier noisy and filled with the smell of fireworks.
The Lin family's boat was obviously very eye-catching. When the group got off the boat, Luo Junyao felt countless eyes looking at them from all directions.
Some people took the initiative to say hello to Lin Chengyu, and at the same time looked curiously at Luo Junyao and others who were following Lin Chengyu.
Lin Chengyu is very popular here and has quite a lot of prestige.
He returned the greetings to those who came to greet him one by one, and led them out of the pier.
"Sister Tantai, none of these people know you?" Luo Junyao asked curiously.
Tantai Feng chuckled and said, "I am a pirate. If they knew me, how could they be so stable?"
Right.
Outside the pier, Luo Junyao saw a familiar figure in the team coming to pick up people from the Lin family.
Shang Yue.
Compared with three years ago, Shang Yue's skin color is much darker, but his complexion and energy are very good.
He was originally standing aside talking to a companion, but when they came out, he looked over, and his eyes happened to fall on Luo Junyao's face.
Shang Yue was startled at first, and then smiled calmly at Luo Junyao.
In the past three years, Shang Yue returned to Shangyong twice, but he did not stay long. He stayed in Zhangzhou for half of the year, and spent the remaining half of the year traveling around with the Lin family's fleet, living a very fulfilling life.
"I've met the head of the family." The steward of the Lin family who came to pick him up said respectfully. Then he looked at the people following Lin Chengyu, hesitated and said, "This... is the young lady?"
The head of the family went to Ningzhou this time to pick up the young lady. Of the two female relatives, the younger one is obviously more suitable for the young lady's status.
Moreover, the young lady's eyebrows are somewhat similar to those of the late lady.
So...this is the current regent?
Lin Chengyu nodded and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back." There were people coming and going outside the dock, and it was not suitable for those red tapes.
"Yes, yes." The steward understood immediately and quickly calmed down his excitement and said: "My subordinates have arranged the carriage. Miss, uh... Your Majesty, please."
Do you think that if you change your words midway, we won't know that you want to call me sister-in-law?
Luo Junyao leaned on Xie Yan's shoulder and laughed sullenly, and Xie Yan helplessly put his arms around her to prevent her from laughing.
Lin Chengyu twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Let's talk about it when we go back."
"Mr. Shang, long time no see."
Shang Yue walked aside, cupped his hands and whispered: "I have met the prince and the princess."
Xie Yan nodded and said nothing. Luo Junyao said as he walked: "The old lady knew that we were coming to Zhangzhou, so she specially prepared some things for me to bring to you."
Shang Yue was startled, a little sad and a little moved, "Thank you, Princess." The merchant is trying to keep a low profile now, so how can he know the route and destination of the Prince Regent and Princess Regent going south? I'm afraid the Princess took the initiative to ask someone to visit the old lady.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Luo Junyao waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, how has Mr. Shang been in Zhangzhou in the past few years?"
Shang Yue said with a smile: "It's very good. Although I used to claim that people in the world were free and uninhibited, only when I really go out can I know how big the world is. Sometimes I stay at sea for several months, and occasionally I meet someone
The storm is so violent that I feel like I can figure out many things that I couldn’t figure out before.”
"I brought some disciples from Wenjian Pavilion who are averagely talented in martial arts to stay in Zhangzhou. They also do some business and go to sea with the fleet from time to time." Shang Yue said: "There are not many ways out for people in the rivers and lakes, but most of them
People don’t have the talent and ability to explore the extremes of martial arts, so it’s pretty good now.”
Just looking at how many times Xie Yan took the opportunity to rectify the people in the Jianghu, we can tell that the current attitude of the court towards the people in the Jianghu is not very good.
After all, the ancients said that chivalrous men break the law with force.
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Young Master Shang, you don't have to be polite. We are mutually beneficial. The female heroes you introduced to me before are also very powerful. With them, the strength of the girls in Anlan Academy has increased a lot."
"To be honest, when I asked Mr. Shang to help deliver the letter, I didn't really expect to retain Mr. Shang."
Shang Yue raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"
"Because... Mr. Shang looks like the kind of person who will become a master in the world."
Shang Yue said: "Then the princess's promise is still valid?"
"nature."
Shang Yue said: "Okay, the Wenjian Pavilion's personnel in Zhangzhou will be at the disposal of the princess from now on, including me."
Luo Junyao was a little happy. He really wanted to cast a wide net. Maybe he would be lucky enough to catch a big fish.
It’s the first day of the Lunar New Year. I wish my dears good health and happiness in the new year (*^▽^*) and be happy every day~~
May the Year of the Rabbit be auspicious and go well! (*￣3)(e￣*)
