"Lingdang is about to turn sixteen, and it's time to talk about the marriage!" Chu Yiqing said while secretly observing A Bao's expression.
"Is Sister Lingdang planning to get married?" Abao was startled, but he quickly came to his senses and said, "Sister Lingdang is so gentle, she deserves a very good man, mother, you have to help Sister Lingdang!"
"
Chu Yiqing was stunned when he heard what A Bao said. He thought that A Bao would like Ling Dang, but it seemed that the two of them didn't like each other that way.
Chu Yiqing said again: "By the way, there is one more thing. Today I asked Hua Qi to take Hua Lin home. Hua Lin became more and more disobedient. This time I almost had a big accident when I went out, but I can't
Keep spoiling her like this!"
Chu Yiqing took the opportunity to observe A Bao's expression again.
When Abao heard what happened to Hua Lin, he felt much calmer. He nodded and said, "That's good. At least Hua Qi is her elder brother, so he can make the final decision on some things!"
When Chu Yiqing saw that A Bao, Ling Dang and Hua Lin didn't pay too much attention to the matter, she felt a little unsure, but it was hard to explain, so she gossiped with A Bao again, and then she let
Abao went back to rest.
In the evening, Blessing followed the nanny back to the palace, and Chu Yiqing took out a ledger and looked at it carefully.
In the past five years, Chu Yiqing has focused on developing commerce and agriculture in the capital and several cities near the capital. Now the three cities of Capital, Yuncheng, and Lucheng, and the two banks where the stream passes have become rice towns. Taking advantage of Luo
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the country's seclusion, Li's rice has quickly conquered Dai and Rao, and has now completely replaced Luo as the largest rice-producing country.[
What Chu Yiqing was holding in his hand was the situation of rice exports in the capital and nearby cities. As he was checking it carefully, he heard footsteps coming from outside. He looked up and saw that Li Huang had finished handling the matter and returned to the palace.
"It's early today, can we have lunch?" Chu Yiqing quickly put the account book aside and asked with a smile.
"I used it before!" Li Huang nodded and suddenly smiled, "Guess what good thing happened today?"
Chu Yiqing looked at him puzzled.
"News came back from the Luo Kingdom, saying that an organization called the Tianrihui is rampant in civil activities, and their slogan is to overthrow Emperor Luo. It seems that these five years of seclusion have caused a lot of trouble to the Luo Kingdom!
"Li Huang curled his lips in pleasure, remembering that every time he came to Li Kingdom during the Luo Kingdom, he always looked so arrogant, which was far different from his current humility.
Five years were enough to turn Luo, an economically strong country, into a weak one. Coupled with the turmoil in the political power, it was no wonder that Emperor Luo personally sent Prince Yuan, the most trusted figure in the court, as an envoy to come and talk about the matter.
"In this case, we should not give Luo Guo a chance to breathe, and Abao's marriage is absolutely not allowed!" Chu Yiqing made up his mind.
Li Huang nodded.
"I tested Ah Bao today, and it seems that Ah Bao doesn't have the same feelings for Hua Lin and Ling Dang!" Chu Yiqing couldn't help but sigh, "The child is older now, and I'm afraid I can't understand his thoughts!
"
"Lingdang is sensible, but her identity and status are not enough to be the mother of a country!" Li Huang also said, "It's a blessing that Abao doesn't have such thoughts about her!"
Chu Yiqing nodded. She didn't pay much attention to Lingdang's background, but A Bao wanted to be the emperor in the future. A woman without a certain sense of responsibility and wisdom would find it difficult to survive in this harem.
"Abao is still young, so we are not in a hurry. Let's wait a few years before we talk!" Li Huang stretched out his hand, held Chu Yiqing's hand and said with a smile.
Chu Yiqing nodded, "You make the decision about the affairs of the court, and I will make the decision about the children. This time Lei Sheng and A Bao come back together, and I want to take care of Lei Sheng's marriage first! Lei Sheng and Sun Mingfa are following us like this
Over the years, I have become quite capable, so naturally I have to be more solemn about this marriage."
"You just leave it to the people below. Now that you are a month old, you can't be too tired!" Li Huang smiled softly and touched Yiqing's belly.
Chu Yiqing nodded.[
The next day, Chu Yiqing explained his intention to Yingqian again, and Yingqian hurriedly went to do it.
In Sun Mansion in the capital, Sun Mingfa and Lei Sheng's father and son heard that the empress wanted Ying Qian to come to supervise Lei Sheng's marriage. Naturally, they were extremely grateful. They followed the rules of the capital, prepared betrothal gifts, and invited official media.
He gave Cui Niu a betrothal gift and set a time for the wedding.
Sun Leisheng was getting married, and the Queen had personally arranged the marriage. The news quickly spread among the people who came from Chu Han, and soon reached Chu Han.
Chuhan Shangjia Village, after five years of development, the small Shangjia Village has developed into Shangjia Town. In the past, there was a market every five days in the village, but now it has developed into a market where people sell vegetables, meat, eggs, etc. every morning at the entrance of the town. Shangjia Village
It has also changed from a small village of more than 200 people to a large village of more than 1,000 people, with houses built both inside and outside the village.
At this moment, under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, Fugui, who had resumed his position as village chief, was smoking a dry cigarette leisurely, squinting at the rows of newly built houses, and talking to the elderly in the village.
"I heard that the boss came back a few days ago?" The person who asked the question was Old Man Wang, Wang Xi's father. Over the years, Old Man Wang's body has not been as good as before, so he can only sit on the village head every day and gossip.
Bask in the sun, so he is the most well-informed about the news in the village.
The eldest son that Mr. Wang refers to is Fugui's eldest son Dagen. Dagen, who had been living outside for five or six years a few days ago, came back with his wife and children. As soon as he walked in, he asked Fugui for money. He said that Fugui had approved the land for outsiders, so he must have accepted it.
There are so many benefits that the rich and noble use the soles of their shoes to drive people out.
As soon as he mentioned this matter, Fugui became very angry.
A few years ago, when he was not the village chief, not to mention that the expelled boss never came back, even the wife slave's penis was missing all year round and stayed with his wife's natal family all day long.
Over the years, he became the village chief again, and as more and more outsiders came in, everyone had to go through his hands to build houses and land. He gradually gained power again, and these two sons looked at him again.
He came back often, but when he came back he either asked for money or asked him to grant land to sell to others, but he kicked him out.
"Don't be angry. You are not young anymore. I remember you are seven years younger than me, aren't you? Yes, look, you are almost sixty years old, why are you so angry with the children? While you are here
Now that you have the power, you must quickly win over the children. Otherwise, what will you do when you are old and unable to move?" Old Man Wang persuaded Fugui in a low voice.
"Do you think if you win over them now, they can really take care of you? Forget it, I have seen through these two bastards, that's all, I don't count on them, I might as well count on wheat!"
He snorted coldly.
"No matter how good Wheat is, if he's not your son-in-law, why don't you have a daughter?" Old Man Wang said poking at Fugui's heart.
Fugui didn't want to talk to Old Man Wang anymore, and was about to get up and go home to prepare lunch when he saw Old Man Wang pulling Fugui back and saying, "Don't go, I haven't finished talking yet. Do you know that Lei Sheng is getting married?"
?I heard that I married a young lady from a wealthy family. The queen chose her for me, so she can’t go wrong!”
"Lei Sheng is getting married?" Fugui was stunned and sighed, "These days go by so fast. I still think that Lei Sheng is still the little fat guy from before. Is he getting married soon?"
"You are already sixty, and Lei Sheng is sixteen or seventeen, right? It's time to get married!" Old Man Wang said with a smile, as if he was sincerely looking at the joke, "I heard that Lei Sheng's eldest brother, and that Yu Sheng,
We haven't gotten married yet, what do you think will happen if this news reaches Sunjia Village?"
Since what happened to Sun Yusheng five years ago, he has quickly become a negative material for parents in villages around the world to educate their children. If any family has a child who is naughty or disobedient, the parents will say, "Are you planning to be like that Sun Yusheng?"
?”
Because of this, Sun Yusheng has not come back since he left five years ago, leaving only one member of the Sun family at home, tending the vegetable garden and making a living.
"Brother, please go home quickly. Don't just want to see the excitement of other people's homes. Many people in this village have also seen the excitement of your home!" Fugui said, clasping his hands behind his back.
He bent his back slightly and walked towards home.
"This old man is really angry!" Old Man Wang couldn't help but said. He looked at the sun, got up, touched the bench and went home.
Behind the locust tree, the Sun family stood in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
At that time, Sun Mingfa left with the third child of the Sun family, and she and Sun Yusheng were the only ones left in the family. But later, Sun Yusheng couldn't stand the contempt of the villagers, so he left without a trace. Now she is the only one in the family, and she comes when she has nothing to do.
She went to visit the village, firstly to find out what happened to Mr. Sun Mingfa and his wife in the capital, and secondly, to miss the good times when working in the Zhao family. However, she did not expect that today she would hear the news that Sun Leisheng was getting married.
Lei Sheng was her biological son, and now they were getting married, but she still heard the news from others... Sun was filled with hatred and annoyance in her heart. Sun Mingfa was just a man who treated her and Yu Sheng like this. Lei Sheng
What's going on? She hasn't treated him badly since she was a child. Doesn't she recognize her as her biological mother?
Thinking about it, Ms. Sun felt that her heart and lungs were about to burn. She felt uncomfortable and angry. She returned home hurriedly, but saw that the door to her home was open. She was startled, thinking that someone had entered the house, so she hurried in.
In the yard, I "touched" a shovel from the yard and quietly approached the door of the house.
A figure was shaking in the room. Mrs. Sun was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe. She rushed in with a shovel and shouted: "Who is that person? How dare you come to my house!"
Before Sun could finish her words, she saw that the man had turned around. It was Sun Yusheng whom he hadn't seen for several years.
Sun Yusheng is wearing a clean children's shirt
, his stature seemed to have grown a lot, and he was dressed very cleanly. At this moment, there was a baggage on the table in front of him, with a corner of a silver coin exposed inside. Judging from this meaning, it seemed that he had made a fortune.
"Yu... Yusheng, you are back? Where have you been these years? I miss you so much!" After being stunned for a moment, Sun quickly stepped forward and hugged Sun Yusheng.
Sun Yusheng broke away from Mrs. Sun's arms in displeasure, patted the clothes on his body and said, "I can't study well, so I can't starve to death, so I followed others to go out to sea for several business trips and married a daughter-in-law.
Made some money!"
As soon as Sun Yusheng finished speaking, he saw a woman with heavy makeup walking out of the back room and looked at Mrs. Sun up and down.
"You...are you married?" Mrs. Sun was startled and quickly looked at the woman. She saw that the woman was wearing a satin dress, with thick makeup on her face. Her specific age could not be determined, but her movements and gestures showed that she was not married.
She doesn't look like the daughter of a good family, but she smells like a prostitute.
Sun was stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled Sun Yusheng aside and asked, "Where is this woman from? Is she the daughter of a good family? Why is she dressed like this?"
Sun Yusheng said impatiently: "Mom, if you don't understand, don't talk. People in the city are dressed like this now!"
Mrs. Sun didn't believe it. It's not like Chu Han didn't have a city in the city. She went to the city to deliver food. It's not like she had never seen women dressed in the city. How could anyone dress as seductively as this woman? Looking at
She looks more like a woman from a brothel!
When she thought of this, Mrs. Sun became even more panicked, fearing that Sun Yusheng would make another wrong step and ruin her life.
"Yusheng, please tell your mother, how did you and this woman meet? When did they get married? How come you didn't know how to greet your mother when you got married? You two children are like this. If you don't say anything about your marriage, Lei Sheng
Don't tell me, will you still treat me as your mother?" Sun became more and more sad as she spoke, and even started to cry softly.
"I just heard that Lei Sheng was going to get married, so I planned to take you to the capital to find him! Lei Sheng and the old man have lived happily in the capital for five years. It is too much to ignore our two mothers and only care about the third child.
Yes! Now that I have a daughter-in-law, it’s time for him to contribute some money to marry her!" Sun Yusheng said coldly.
"You know it too?" Mrs. Sun was stunned.
"Who in Chu Han doesn't know about this? If you go out and ask around, you all know that Lei Sheng married a daughter of our family thanks to the Queen's blessing!" Sun Yusheng's face was full of disdain, "How can a person who serves others be considered a personal bodyguard?
The bodyguards are still in the sixth rank, and they are not afraid of being laughed at! There is also an old man, a country boy, who doesn’t know anyone’s big name, and he has become an official. Li Guo is finished! Let a woman do it! "
Mrs. Sun quickly said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you want to die? Don't you even think about it, is it because of your mouth that you caused trouble, otherwise our family would be like this?"
Sun Yusheng said coldly: "This time I want to go and see how well the old guy and that kid live!"
To be honest, Ms. Sun also wanted to go to the capital to have a look. After all, Lei Sheng was her child and they were about to get married. How could she not even take a look at her daughter-in-law?
"It costs a lot of money to go to the capital!" Mrs. Sun said.
"I have plenty of money!" Sun Yusheng proudly tore open the baggage, and out came several ten-tael silver ingots. Sun's eyes widened when she saw them.
"Where did you get the money?" Mrs. Sun asked quickly.
"Mom, these are all my money. Now that I am with Yusheng, naturally they are Yusheng's money!" The woman with heavy makeup suddenly came forward and took Sun's arm affectionately and said.
As soon as the woman got close, Mrs. Sun smelled a fragrant fragrance. She wanted to hide, but she was afraid of offending her new daughter-in-law, so she could only force herself to smile.
Sun Yusheng took the woman to stay at home for one night, and Mrs. Sun got a general idea of the woman's origins. It turned out that she really came from a brothel. She was already in her thirties, and she became a good girl after meeting Yusheng.
The eldest son married such a woman. Sun felt that she was a loser in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything. Now she just hoped to take the woman's money and go to the capital to find Sun Mingfa and Sun Leisheng to ask for money.
Once you have money, divorce this woman and find a good marriage for Sun Yusheng!
In the capital, Sun Leisheng was also hesitating whether to send a message to Mrs. Sun after all, she was his biological mother. However, as soon as he said it, Sun Mingfa rejected it.
"Dad, are you really not going to tell mother?" Sun Leisheng was very embarrassed. In these years, Sun Mingfa also brought his third son to the capital to study, and the two of them were not allowed to have any contact with Chu Han's Sun family and Yusheng.
, but getting married now is a big deal, how could you not even say hello!
"I told you, you don't have a mother, and you don't have an eldest brother anymore, so I will marry you honestly. From now on, just follow the eldest prince and do things well, and don't worry about family affairs!" Ever since Sun Yusheng did that.
After the incident, Sun
Mingfa has completely given up on that family and has no nostalgia for it at all.
"But..." Sun Leisheng whispered, "She is my mother after all..."
"If you don't listen to me, then you will move out and don't come in this door!" Although Sun Mingfa is an honest man, he can be scary when he loses his temper. He yelled out and Sun Leisheng completely gave up the idea of sending a letter to Mr. Sun.
After the betrothal gift was paid, Sun Leisheng's marriage was scheduled for the Dragon Boat Festival in May. Just when Sun's house was busy with marriage matters, uninvited guests also came to the door.
When they entered the capital this time, Sun Yusheng's new daughter-in-law was really willing to spend money. She even hired a large carriage. The three of them took the car to the capital. As soon as they entered the capital, they inquired about the Sun Mansion of the Agriculture Secretary. Now the group of people
Standing outside the gate of Sun Mansion, looking at the magnificent door, the three of them were so shocked that they were speechless.
Sun Yusheng looked at the mansion in front of him and couldn't believe it. Although Chu Han's people had already spread the news, they said that the people who followed Chu Yiqing into the capital were so majestic and beautiful, especially Sun Mingfa, who is now the sixth-grade agricultural secretary.
, Your Majesty, the famous man in front of the Queen wants wind and rain, but Sun Yusheng does not believe it in his heart. Sun Yusheng has always believed that only by studying and taking the imperial examination can he have a way out. When those people followed Chu Yiqing into the capital,
He just went to the city to work for people. To put it bluntly, he was still Chu Yiqing's slave. But now, Sun Yusheng looked at the grandeur of Sun Mansion and was so shocked that he could not speak.
