Chapter 635 I hope to marry a satisfying daughter-in-law
Princess Pingning felt the scorching gazes of her officials, and her face felt slightly hot. After taking a few sips from her teacup, she put the teacup on the table, looked at her son and said, "The inheritance of your maternal grandfather's title."
It's not that simple. I will discuss this matter with your father, so don't worry about it. There are still more than two months until the proficiency test. Heng'er remember to take the time to ask Zhuang Xuexue about some things that need to be paid attention to during the proficiency test.
....”
"Don't worry, mother, Mr. Zhuang has already talked about some of the situations in the exam several times." Wang Lidong said, "Mother, you used to complain that you didn't have any brothers at home. If I had several uncles, I wouldn't ask you for everything.
Running around in person and showing off.
If I had more brothers, not only would our family have more marquises, but we would also be able to follow two separate paths in the future, one civil and one military, one internal and one external. One would hold military power, and the other would hold political power. In troubled times, we rely on military generals, and in prosperous times, we have civil servants.
We can look forward to a thousand-year-old family..."
Qi's father was so itchy that his son told him that he couldn't help but said to his wife, "What Heng'er said..." As he was speaking, he saw the threatening look in his wife's eyes and immediately stepped on the brakes.
Stop, say 'cough' twice and say to Wang Lidong, "Heng'er, regarding my brother, your suggestion is very good, your mother and I will consider it carefully.
But your current thoughts should be on passing the exams that are about to begin. If you become the number one scholar, let those with big headscarves look at you. Not only do they know how to read, our noble generals’ brains are no worse than theirs!"
Wang Lidong looked at Qi's father with disdain. He was a prince after all, but he didn't expect to be so cowardly that he would lose the man's face...
Seeing this, Qi's mother interrupted and said, "Heng'er, didn't you just say that you still have something to do? Go and do it."
"Then father and mother, I'm leaving."
When Wang Lidong left the palace, he did not go to the trading company. Instead, he came to the courtyard of three Korean girls in Xicheng. They named it "Haidong Courtyard."
"Yun'er, Duo Hui, Zhi You, I've met the Governor." Three Korean girls were sitting around in the living room playing 'leaf cards'. When they saw Wang Lidong, they got up and said a blessing.
"Sit down and continue playing."
The three of them played cards just to pass the time. Immediately one person poured tea, another pressed his shoulder, and another peeled an orange.
"Grand Governor, why are you here so early today?" Zhiyou handed him a cup of hot tea.
"You have been in the capital for a while," Wang Lidong took the tea cup and said, "Have you ever thought about what you will do in the future?"
Duo Hui handed a piece of orange to Wang Lidong's mouth and said in surprise, "What the Governor means is... that we can do what we like?"
The three of them came to the Song Dynasty in Xiaobanyue. Because they understood the official dialect of the Song Dynasty, they quickly became familiar with the customs and habits here.
Women from ordinary people's families in the Song Dynasty needed to support their families in Hukou, so they were not restricted from going out. However, concubines from wealthy families could only stay in the backyard if they had nothing to do. They usually passed the time by doing some female celebrities and playing cards. Of course, the biggest task was
It is to carry on the family line. If you have to go out to burn incense and worship Buddha or visit relatives, you must wear a veil to cover your face.
Wang Lidong rubbed Duo Hui's little head, "The three of you are less than twenty, and the days ahead are still long. If you don't find something to do..." Pointing to the leaf sign on the table, "How can you spend your whole life here?"
Play cards in your backyard, or do some female celebrity work. Don't you feel bored?"
Among the three girls, Ji Woo is the eldest, 18 years old this year, followed by Yoona who is 17 years old, and Da Hui, who is the last, only 15 years old... Even if she only lives to seventy, she still has more than fifty years left.
The three girls were overjoyed when they heard this.
Duo Hui hugged him happily and said, "Grand Governor, can you keep your word?"
"Well, count, count..."
Feeling Jianting's touch on his arm... Wang Lidong felt a little dazed... The ninety-nine types of playing cards suddenly popped into his mind... He glanced at it
The sun is the best time for morning exercises....
At noon, three rosy-faced girls personally cooked a Korean-flavored lunch for him.
"Grand Governor, I want to plant some flowers and plants in the back garden." When asked what the three of them wanted to do, Yoona expressed her own thoughts.
Duo Hui raised her hand and said, "I want to open a rouge shop."
Zhiyou whispered, "I want to open a small shop to sell Korean specialties."
It's not a difficult task. Wang Lidong waved his hand and it was done.
The two gardens in the yard are all left to Yoona to take care of. You can plant whatever you want and ask the trading company to send you any seeds you want.
As for the rouge shop, Sihai Trading Company does not have a rouge workshop, but Ling Guogong specializes in this business. I heard it is a time-honored brand with a history that seems to exceed more than 300 years...
The Goryeo specialty store is the most convenient. A large amount of goods have been confiscated in Goryeo and I can help with the shipment.
Then he summoned the rich man and asked him to arrange relevant matters.
"Sir, where are the rouge shop and specialty shop...?" Fugui asked.
"The closer it is to here, the better. The store area should be larger."
"On the left side of the street in front, near the Baihu Bridge, the 'Jixianfang' bookstore rents our shop. There are six rooms in total, and it is only about 40 feet away from here. In the middle of next month, the six-year lease expires. At present,
So far, the contract has not been renewed.”
Wang Lidong said curiously,
"Who is the owner of this bookstore? It's already this time and you still haven't renewed the contract?"
Since it has been open for six years, as long as the business is not very bad, they will generally not move out. In this case, the shopkeeper will talk to the landlord about renewing the contract two or three months in advance to avoid any surprises.
"Xia Xianggong's property. I think our rent is a bit expensive. We've been negotiating for almost two months and we haven't decided yet."
Wang Lidong made the final decision, "Don't talk about it. When the time is up, we will take it back and repair it. Two rooms will be used as rouge shops, two rooms will be used as specialty shops, and two rooms will be used as flower shops."
Yoona was surprised and said, "Grand Governor, is the flower shop for me?"
Wang Lidong smiled and nodded, "You don't necessarily sell flowers. You make your own decision about what to sell." Then he said to the three women, "These shops will be under your name when the time comes, and the money earned in the future will be counted."
As your pocket change..."

Three days passed in a flash. Just after nine o'clock in the morning, the Jinming Pond in the west of Kaifeng City became lively. Officials from Tokyo City arrived one after another with their unengaged children.
Jinmingchi is the royal garden of the Zhao and Song royal families. It is located about 2 miles west of Bianliang City in Tokyo. It covers an area of about 1.5 million square meters, which is about the same size as the two Forbidden City.
Lotus roots are planted all over the Jinming Pond. Every rainy night, the sound of rain hitting the lotus leaves comes and goes. After the rain, the sky clears and everything is fresh, and there is a new atmosphere, so it is called "Jinchi Night Rain".
However, in addition to being a garden, Jinmingchi was also a training ground for sailors in the Northern Song Dynasty. At the beginning of March every year, the Shenwei Huyi Navy taught boats how to play in the water.
Every March to April of the lunar calendar, Jinming Pond is also open to the public, allowing people to visit. Along the coast, "weeping poplars are dipped in the water, and tobacco is paved on the embankment." A temporary colorful shed is built on the east bank, and people watch water plays here. The environment on the west bank is quiet.
Many tourists go fishing on the shore.
"Bah!" Sheng Molan threw down the car curtains with an unhappy look on her face. Sheng Changfeng, who was sitting diagonally across from her, was a little strange. She was so happy when she went out and talked and laughed with him along the way. She was about to arrive at the place.
, got angry out of nowhere and asked, "Fourth sister, what's wrong?"
Mo Lan patted the cushion and complained, "Nowadays, all the official families in the capital have changed to four-wheeled carriages, but our family still still has two-wheeled carriages. Dad is too stingy."
Sheng Changfeng rolled his eyes and said, "Dad is only a fifth-grade official, and his annual salary is only a thousand guan. If he were braver, he could earn three to four thousand guan a year. It's a pity...
Dad is naturally timid, and we are also unlucky.
The cheapest four-wheeled carriage now costs eight to nine hundred guan. If you want to ride in a four-wheeled carriage, you have to wait until you get married..." As he said this, he looked at the two large pearl earrings on his sister's ears, his eyes burning.
He said, "Actually, it doesn't have to happen in the future. My sister can afford it now. Just sell a bunch of earrings..."
】
Sheng Molan gently stroked her earrings and glanced at Sheng Changfeng with disdain.
"I've been thinking about swindling beads from me all day long so that I can make those foxy girls in your room happy. Third brother, that's all you can do."
Sheng Changfeng said unhappily, "A few strings of broken beads are nothing more than a treasure to you. If I want them, there are plenty of ways."
"Okay, go and get some skewers for me to see. Don't just talk big words like before.
What kind of Jinshi is like searching for something, but it turns out that he can't even pass the provincial examination. He is so boastful that the Sheng family will rely on you for protection in the future. Where is the future prince Qin Guogong you mentioned, why haven't you followed him recently?!" Sheng Molan's words were like a knife, stabbing hard one after another.
It stabbed Sheng Changfeng in the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
The imperial examination matter was not too harmful, but the reserve matter made him completely embarrassed in front of his mother and sister... He had said too many harsh words at the beginning, but now King Yan was obviously despised by the emperor, and he had no chance to stand out.
day.
This ear-scratching sound is ‘pah pah pah’….
Sheng Changfeng looked as ugly as his dead father. He stared at Sheng Molan with his mouth heaving violently. If it hadn't been for his own sister, today he would have let her know what it means to be 'the emperor's wrath, laying down millions of corpses.
Bleeding for thousands of miles. Chang Feng's wrath, bleeding for five steps, the world is pure.'
"Third Young Master and Fourth Young Lady, we have arrived at Jinming Pond." The voice of Mo Lan's maid showing off her sex was heard outside the car.
Mo Lan hurriedly opened the door and got out of the carriage. The third brother's eyes were a little penetrating, and she was a little scared...
"What did you bring?" After Sheng Hong's wife Wang got out of the car, she saw several of her little daughter's personal maids carrying large and small bags and carrying several wooden barrels. The big magpie was actually carrying a The round bamboo tube, which was more than 4 feet high, looked downcast, "I'm here to enjoy the chrysanthemums today, what are you doing with the fishing rod?"
Ru Lan held her mother's arm and said cheerfully, "I can't reward chrysanthemums. I heard that there are big carps in Jinming Pond. I will catch two and go home to stew fish for my mother and father at night..."
Mrs. Wang's face suddenly pulled away.
Sheng Minglan helped Mrs. Sheng out of the carriage and grinned when she saw this scene...
Ru Lan grabbed the old woman who was still nagging her and gestured forward, "Mother, grandmother and Xiaoliu are all moving forward, let's go too, so as not to get separated."
Wang glanced at her mother-in-law, then at the fishing rod, and said, "Ask the big magpie to put all these things on the carriage, and you are not allowed to bring them in."
Ru Lan nodded hurriedly and said, "Yeah, yeah. I know, I know." Then she gave instructions to the big magpie, but she secretly glanced at the little magpie and told them to continue taking them with them, but just follow them farther away... Just don't let me see it.
Ru Lan pointed to the front not far away and said, "Mom, do you think that is Aunt Kang?"
"Where is it?" Ms. Wang stretched her neck, followed the direction her daughter pointed, and searched for a moment. She saw three acquaintances twenty or thirty feet away and said happily, "Brother Jin and Yoona are here too. ..."
ha!
Ru Lan blinked her big eyes, just pointing randomly, stood on tiptoe and took a look... She didn't expect her aunt who likes to take advantage of others to come.
Mrs. Wang was about to ask someone to come up and say hello to her sister when the nanny beside her suddenly pulled her hand and said, "Madam, Princess Pingning is not far behind."
She quickly glanced behind her and found Madam Zhongjing Hou holding Princess Pingning's arm and walking towards her, chatting and laughing.
He hurriedly informed Mrs. Sheng, and then took his youngest daughter to look at it carefully. After finding nothing wrong, he leaned closer and whispered, "Ru'er, have you forgotten that poem?"
The chrysanthemum appreciation meeting had a poem-writing session on the spot. In order to show Princess Pingning that her daughter was also talented, she specially asked her son to write a chrysanthemum poem under the ink orchid of Lin Xi Pavilion, and then asked her daughter to memorize it. .
Ru Lan said with some reluctance: "Mother, the princess knows very well whether I can compose poetry. This..."
"What the hell." Wang immediately interrupted her daughter and poked her forehead, saying, "I've already asked about it. Not many of the people who came to participate can write poems. They all buy poems." When your poem is reviewed, the princess will definitely look high on you... Have you memorized the poem by heart? Your brother worked hard for this poem for two days before writing it."
Rulan glanced at her mother, pretended to be very confident, straightened her breasts and said, "Don't worry, mother, it's just a seven-character poem. I've recited it hundreds of times in the past two days, and I can even recite it even when I'm asleep." .”
Sheng Minglan on the side rolled her eyes. She remembered that just now Rulan secretly took out a piece of paper from her pocket and made a fuss about it. She thought it was some kind of recipe, but when she took a closer look, it turned out to be a seven-character poem.
.
When Wang wanted to give some advice, Princess Pingning and Madam Zhongjinghou had already arrived. She looked at Sheng Rulan, who had a sugarcane figure and an ordinary face, and then looked at the delicate and beautiful Sheng Molan and the gorgeous Sheng Minglan sisters.
....Princess Pingning plans to find an imperial doctor after returning home to check her precious son's eyes.... After saying hello to Mrs. Sheng, and after a few pleasantries, she said to Mrs. Wang, "
Sister Wang, long time no see."
Mrs. Wang replied with a busy smile, "Princess Princess, why didn't the young master come today?"
"Heng'er was about to learn how to take the test, so we didn't let him come." Princess Pingning looked at the three girls from the Sheng family in front of her and said, "Sister Wang, the three girls in your family are becoming more and more popular.
My Heng'er has also reached the age of getting married, and I hope to marry a daughter-in-law that I want to be happy with..."
