Chapter 651: The girls future in the house and house is all in one step!
Wang Lidong said, "Well, I will tell him about this. I will be traveling far away in a while, which may take more than half a month."
Rulan asked, "Same as last time, going to see business in various places?"
Wang Lidong shook his head slightly and said, "This time we are going to make a big deal."
Rulan asked curiously, "How big is it?"
Wang Lidong whispered, "It's probably a few hundred million. We won't know the exact amount until it passes."
In a few days, he was going to go on a small trip. The Iwami Silver Mine alone had reserves of hundreds of millions of gold. Plus the wealth accumulated by the Japanese kings and nobles, it would definitely be much richer than that of Bangzi Country.
Rulan's eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Hundreds of millions?! What kind of business is so profitable?"
"Shh, keep your voice down." Wang Lidong looked around and found that there were no outsiders except the wealthy and the big and small magpies. "You will know when you move to my house one day."
Two more red clouds flew over Rulan's little face, and she muttered, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I don't want to hear it yet."
"Young Master!" Sheng Changfeng saw Qi Heng from a distance, immediately waved and shouted, quickened his pace, and came to the small pond in a few steps, and said with excitement, "Congratulations to the Young Master for winning the title of Toad Palace and becoming the number one scholar in high school.
"
This guy was so ferocious that he killed a prime minister before he became an official. The Song Dynasty had not killed an important minister for many years, and he was able to escape unscathed... Wow, he is really a role model for us!
Wang Lidong said a few words modestly, but he couldn't stand Chang Feng's hot eyes. He glanced at the three strange young men following Sheng Changfeng and asked, "Chang Feng, these are..."
Sheng Changfeng introduced the three people enthusiastically. The thin-faced young man was an in-law of the Sheng family. His name was Li Yu. Rulan called him cousin.
, named Wen Yanjing, a distant nephew of the magistrate of Linfen County, Jinzhou in the same year as Sheng Hong's examination.
Looking at Wen Yanjing, who had a sincere face and greeted him with a smile, it turned out that he was an expert in flirting with girls, a master of making soft food and hard work, and a master of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
Sheng Hong originally wanted to betroth Mo Lan to Wen Yanjing and had an affair with him, but Wen Yanjing met Ru Lan in the back garden of the Sheng family. After some testing, they started fighting with the legitimate daughter of the Sheng family.
idea.
Sheng Molan is beautiful, but she is a concubine. If you marry Molan, don't expect to get any big help from the Sheng family in the future. Rulan is different. The legitimate daughters of the Sheng family, even Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai, are not very good.
I like Ru Lan, but given my status, even the dowry is much richer than Mo Lan's.
As long as she marries Sheng Rulan, my girl's future in finance and house will be secured at once!
Wen Yanjing tried his best to meet Ru Lan several times, and relied on his superb flirting skills to coax Ru Lan into marrying her.
But based on his status as a judge and being Mo Lan's former blind date, even if Ru Lan was willing to marry, neither Wang nor Sheng Hong would agree to the marriage.
It happened that Gu Tingye wanted to marry Sheng Minglan, but his reputation was too bad and he had two illegitimate children. He went directly to the Sheng Mansion to propose marriage to Minglan. Mrs. Sheng would definitely not agree, so he took a detour and asked the emperor to marry her.
Granted marriage, pretending to marry Ru Lan, the legitimate daughter of the Sheng family.
Wen Yanjing and Gu Tingye happened to be a pair of bastards, one was Rulan and the other was Sheng Minglan. The two hit it off and colluded to set up a trap. When Wen Yanjing asked Sheng Rulan to come out for a private meeting to say goodbye, they were surprised by the man who had been waiting for a long time. Gu Tingye bumped into him.
Then both of them achieved their goals and got the beauty back, and everyone in the Sheng family was also happy. Ru Lan finally married the person she wanted to marry, Minglan also found a golden son-in-law, and Sheng Hong got two good sons-in-law. , a popular fried chicken, and a future Jinshi, the Sheng family suddenly gained two powerful helpers.
The only one who was unwilling was the Wang family. Her daughter picked up Sheng Molan, the daughter of her 'lifelong enemy' Lin Xiaoniang, and abandoned the poor scholar Wen Yanjing like a pair of shoes. Her face was slapped loudly.
Moreover, the entire Sheng family, only the Wang family, was kept in the dark from beginning to end. Although Ru Lan seemed to have no scheming intentions, she actually saw everything clearly. Minglan won't say it, but this person is a 'great smart', Sheng Hong, the boss of the officialdom Youtiao, when you see the result, you can figure out the whole thing and deduce it.
As for Sheng Changbai...this man is the big promoter of the whole thing.
When Gu Tingye went to the Sheng family to propose marriage, although he didn't explicitly say whom to marry, he made it very clear that he wanted to marry someone who was beautiful and had a gentle temper. These qualities were not at all similar to Ru Lan's.
But Sheng Changbai pretended to be dumbfounded, and even went out of his way to help Gu Tingye and say all the nice things in front of Sheng Hong and the Wang family. The reason was very simple. Gu Tingye was a popular person in front of the emperor. How could he not flatter him at this time? As for his sister, Will Lan be cheated, haha... Women in ancient times are not modern. Their biggest role is not only to carry on the family line, but also as a bargaining chip for marriage. Besides, there are still people who can take over.
Seeing Qi Heng staring at Wen Yanjing, Sheng Changfeng quickly reminded him in a low voice, "Young Master."
Wang Lidong came back to his senses and said with a smile, "I seem to have seen Brother Wen somewhere, but unfortunately I can't remember it no matter how hard I think about it."
Wen Yanjing immediately hit the snake and put it on the stick: "In the Gongyuan of the capital, I was lucky enough to meet Brother Qi once."
mmp, nonsense.
Based on my own memory, I will remember clearly anything that comes into my sight in a year.
However, it would be meaningless to expose such a trivial matter. The most it would do is embarrass others.
After they chatted for a while, at the urging of several classmates, Sheng Changfeng reluctantly waved goodbye to Wang Lidong. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell him, "Young Master, when will there be a banquet to celebrate, please remember to call me."
Wang Lidong smiled and said, "How could I forget you, Chang Feng? I will have to ask you for some minor things in a while."
Sheng Changfeng's eyes were bright and he was busy patting his breasts, even if he was asked to go up mountains of swords and seas of fire without any hesitation.
After watching the few people go away, Wang Lidong looked at Fugui and said, "Did you give the things to Magpie?"
Ru Lan ran away in a puff of smoke when Sheng Changfeng appeared.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fugui nodded, "I have already given it to the little magpie."
At the same time, Ru Lan returned to the front hall and found that the party had already ended. Only Qi Xuan and my mother were left chatting awkwardly. After saying hello, they returned to their small courtyard and entered the room. When the little magpie saw a rectangular sandalwood box in his hand, he asked curiously, "Where did it come from? What does it contain?"
The little magpie put the sandalwood box on the tea table and said, "It was given by the rich man. He said it was given to the girl by the young master."
"I didn't tell you earlier." Ru Lan reached out and opened the wooden box. There were rows of round white balls neatly placed inside. She picked up a small white ball and found that it was about the same size as the 'wooden balls' used for hammering balls. She weighed it. After weighing it, it was slightly heavier than the 'wooden pill'. After looking at it carefully, it was round and round.
"Did Fugui tell me what this little ball is for?"
The little magpie said, "It is said that Chuiwan is used as a 'ball'."
Ru Lan glared at the little magpie. This little guy only moved once he pushed it.
Throwing the small white ball in her hand to the ground, she found that it was still somewhat elastic. She hurriedly called to Magpie, took out her Chuiwan suit, then left the house and came to the corner of the courtyard, where she flattened out a three-dimensional ball. Four square-sized small courts...
.....
At night, Sheng Hong came back from a wedding banquet at his colleague's house. He felt exhausted from working overtime for days, so he went into Miss Lin's room.
After changing into normal clothes, he lay down on the incense couch and asked Miss Lin to help her pinch two handfuls and loosen them quickly.
Lin Xiaoniang kneaded and massaged for a while, patting here and there, and Sheng Hong felt relaxed all over, as if he had lost a few pounds, and he couldn't help but hum...
"Honglang, today the young master brought his uncle's brother Qi Xuan to the house. Qi Xuan gave each of Mo'er and the others a big golden pig as a meeting gift."
Sheng Hong cleared his head, turned his body and said, "How heavy is the golden pig?"
Lin Xiaoniang gestured at the size of the golden pig and said, "It's less than three kilograms, and it's the same weight as the one my young father-in-law gave me."
Sheng Hong frowned and said, "So polite? Did you say something?"
Lin Xiaoniang picked up Sheng Hong's arm and pressed it gently a few times, "You said it's nothing, follow the young master to come and ask for a door."
Nonsense!
I have never seen anyone go shopping and bring a few golden pigs with them. To give such an expensive gift, you must have something for it.
Lin Xiaoniang continued, "By the way, Qi Xuan also invited the three Mo'er sisters to participate in some polo match."
"There should be a 'Chuiwan' competition, right?"
"Honglang also knows?"
"Everyone in the government office is talking about this today. Yesterday, many families received invitations."
"I heard from Mo Lan that originally they only planned to hold a 'Polo Match' and a 'Chui Wan' Match, but Brother Heng insisted on adding it. It would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. The fifth girl is so lucky, so pitiful. My Mo'er..." Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoniang couldn't help but scream...
When Sheng Hong saw Lin Xiaoniang crying so hard, he couldn't help feeling heartbroken. He sat up and hugged her and said, "You're fine, why are you crying?"
"It's just that I, the mother, didn't live up to expectations, and Mertuo was born in my belly.
I heard that the old lady has already fallen in love with Saburo from the He family in Baishitan on behalf of the sixth girl. The fifth girl has found a good husband who loves her so much. Poor Mo'er has not found a place yet, and even the dowry has to be praised by herself. ..wuwuwu~~"
Sheng Hong hurriedly coaxed, "I have always kept Mo'er's life-long event in mind. I thought I would tell you about it when I sobered up. I have already helped her find a good husband..."
Lin Xiaoniang wiped the corner of her eyes and said, "You can't just borrow the three failed candidates who live in my house, right? Which one does Hong Lang like, Li Yu or He Zhi?"
Sheng Hong said in surprise, "How did Shuang'er know?"
Lin Xiaoniang rolled her eyes at Sheng Hong, "Didn't you mention this to me last time? Have you forgotten?"
Sheng Hong remembered what happened and said with a smile, "There are three people in total, why did you only mention two?"
Lin Xiaoniang said with a look of disgust, "The one named Wen Yanjing looks older than you, Hong Lang... You won't fall in love with this Wen Yanjing, Hong Lang?"
Sheng Hong felt happy in his heart, but he still blamed Lin Xiaoniang on the surface. Wen Yanjing is not even over thirty yet, but he looks a bit old-fashioned. You should not only judge people by their appearance, "This Wen Yanjing is the most knowledgeable among the three." Yes. I had some bad luck in the National Examination this time. I should be able to get a top spot next time.”
Lin Xiaoniang secretly resented that you, Sheng Hong, actually wanted your precious daughter to marry a farmer!
After the three people moved into the Sheng family, she asked people to inquire about their family backgrounds. Wen Yanjing had the worst conditions. He had been farming for generations. His family had several acres of thin farmland and no shops. He also had several younger brothers and a Mom, if my daughter really wants to get married and not be treated like a mother, she will turn into a yellow-faced woman in a few years!
Seeing that Miss Lin remained silent for a long time, Sheng Hong asked, "Why don't you speak? Is it not what you want?"
Lin Xiaoniang smiled and shook her head and said, "What Hong Lang likes must be good. Mo'er is Hong Lang's biological daughter, so he will definitely not harm her."
Sheng Hong was greatly relieved and hugged Lin Xiaoniang tightly. She was indeed his beloved woman, unlike the self-righteous Wang who always made decisions about him!
"When is Hong Lang going to let Wen Yan come to propose marriage?"
Sheng Hong looked around the room, waved to all the servants to go out, and whispered, "Since you agree, I will tell Yan Jing to ask her mother to come home as soon as possible to propose marriage, so as to avoid long nights and nightmares."
】
Lin Xiaoniang asked curiously, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Sheng Hong glanced at the door and said in a low voice, "The official's health should not be able to survive next year. After the new emperor ascends the throne, as usual, there will be an encore. After the New Year next year, Yan Jing can participate If the examination goes well, you will be a Jinshi by then. I have not decided on the position now. There are so many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and there are so many legitimate daughters and concubines, how can I get my Mo'er."
Lin Xiaoniang's mind was filled with excitement and she asked, "If Wen Yanjing becomes a Jinshi, what kind of official title can he get?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sheng Hong thought for a moment and said, "According to Yan Jing's level, if he performs abnormally, he can be at the forefront of the second-tier A. The normal level is the middle or upper level of the second-tier A. When the time comes I will try my best to be in charge of the Sixth Ministry through connections. If that doesn’t work, I can only be sent out to be a county magistrate. But when the time comes, I will find ways to find ways to arrange it as close to the capital as possible, preferably in Kaifeng Mansion, so that if something happens, I can Zhao sees that Mo'er can come back to see us often."
Lin Xiaoniang leaned into Sheng Hong's arms, "Hong Lang really worked hard for me and Mo'er, Shuang'er will remember it in her heart..."
The salary of a county magistrate is not as much as what his daughter can get from playing three games of polo. With such a small amount of money, even if there is some extra money, it is not enough to support Wen Yanjing and his family.
It would be even worse if he stayed in the capital and worked as a minor official. He couldn't afford a house, so he could only rent a small house to live in. The servants wouldn't have a place to stay. Mo'er would have to wash and cook by himself and serve his mother-in-law.
Brother-in-law......
By then, Wei Ruixuan will not stab her with this matter every day!
.............
Time is like fine sand on the fingertips, passing by quietly inadvertently, and soon it is the first day of May, the most glorious festival of labor (mmp, what you say to fool the leeks!).
Qiu Ju came to the young master with a telegram and said, "Sir, the chief of staff is calling."
Wang Lidong received the telegram and read it carefully. The 1st to 6th Guard Regiments, a total of 40,000 musketeers, have been assembled at the Jeju Island Maritime Base. Another 15,000 Korean servants have also arrived and are waiting for orders.
.Only the 1st and 2nd Artillery Regiments haven’t arrived yet.”
"Tell the Chief of Staff that I will arrive at Jeju Island tomorrow night with the 1st and 2nd Artillery Regiments." After Wang Lidong finished speaking, he turned to his cousin who was sitting aside and was wiping away his gun and said, "Do you want to
It’s clear, this trip to Japan will take at least 20 days to go back and forth, and I will definitely not be able to catch up with the first and second games of the Polo League.”
Qi Xuan took a look at the inside of the barrel and found that there was still some gunpowder residue. He took the brush on the table and brushed it back and forth a few times. Then he wiped it with a cotton cloth. When he found it was clean, he started to oil... Hear the hall
He stopped what he was doing and thought about it for a long time. If he didn't see Sheng Minglan again, he wouldn't be able to fly again. "I'll go with you to Kyoto, Japan. After we defeat it, you can just send a ship to take me back. What kind of banknotes are there?"
The mine will not go. In this way, we should be able to catch up with the second game, right?"
Wang Lidong said, "If everything goes well, we might catch up in the first game."
