The matters regarding the martial arts hall and naval academy were handed over to Huaiyi and the others, and Wu Huaiyu packed his luggage and headed north to Jiangzhou.
It is said that the emperor has issued an order to arrange for a grand enthronement ceremony for him in Jiangzhou. The Prince of the Supervisory State will also send someone there. That person is still an old acquaintance. He was once demoted to the acting inspector Huangmen Shilang of Xunyang County.
Xu Jingzong.
"How is Dalang's studies lately?" Huaiyu asked Xuanfu during dinner. His wife had already given birth. She was strong and recovered quickly. She didn't suffer from being lukewarm during confinement in May. There were many people waiting on her.
, the nutrition is good, but also plump.
"Dalang hasn't been studying very hard recently and always wants to skip classes." Fan Xuanfu hugged his baby daughter. The little girl was ugly and wrinkled when she was born, but now that she is just one month old, she is already white, fat and very cute, especially that
Her eyes are big, round and bright, and her face is chubby.
Xuan Fu, the fourth baby, still had plenty of milk. She gave birth to milk on the second day after birth and couldn’t finish it. Xuan Fu wanted the third child to eat, but the third child was still shy and refused to eat.
"You learned how to skip classes at such a young age? This kid," Huaiyu shook his head, but was not too annoyed. The child is still young, only seven years old this year. "Since he doesn't want to study, let's give him a long vacation. It's just a good day.
It’s hot, come with me to Jiangzhou,”
Jiangzhou is Wu Huaiyu’s Jiangzhou now, and it will also be Wu Chengsi’s Jiangzhou in the future.
Of course, it is only a hereditary governor.
However, Wu Huaiyu felt that in history, the issuance of hereditary governorships stopped soon, so there is a high probability that Wu Chengsi will not have the opportunity to succeed to the position of governor of Jiangzhou in the future, but he can still inherit the Dukedom of Jin.
However, Xuanfu thought that her husband was going to Jiangzhou with his eldest son to make a formal appearance and reveal the identity of the heir to the Wu family, and was very happy when he heard this.
That's what it's like to be a mother,
She didn't mind too much about the many concubines in Huaiyu, nor did she care that the concubines gave birth to so many children, because under the patriarchal system, concubines could never be compared with their wives, and concubines could never be older than their legitimate sons.
Ordinary families may also consider that if they have more sons, some of the family property will be divided in the future, and if they have more daughters, they will have to prepare a lot of dowries, which will inevitably lead to many disputes.
But with the Wu family's current family status and wealth, there is no need to consider these things.
The truly most valuable resource of the Wu family is the position of the head of the family, which is the Duke's title of the Jin Kingdom, Wu Huaiyu's world title, and the actual title of the city.
No matter how many other brothers and sisters there are, they are just sharing some properties, manors and shops. Wu Huaiyu has already said this and has already started making arrangements.
"It's two thousand miles from Guangzhou to Jiangzhou. Although it's a bit far, fortunately, almost the whole journey is by water, so it's not tiring."
Two Swords, Three Swords and Four accompanied him,
"Who are you going to take with you from other hospitals? Runniang or Aliu, or Sanniang, Muyun and the others?"
"This trip to Jiangzhou means that I just go there and say hello and then come back. I won't stay too long, so I won't bring too many people with me."
"Are you taking Da Lang alone? Do the other boys want to go?"
"Just take Dalang with you," Huaiyu said.
He didn't even take the third legitimate son born from Xuan Fu.
"I'll go to your hospital tonight."
"No, your body is not clean yet, and if you ask for a milk baby at night, it will disturb your sleep."
The other concubines in the restaurant had been listening carefully to the conversation between the couple. Huaiyu said that he would only take Da Lang Chengsi with him to Jiangzhou, and they immediately understood his intention.
I don't feel disappointed at all. After all, there is a difference between concubine and concubine, and this is a huge chasm.
The hereditary governor of Jiangzhou, including the title of Duke of Jin, will only be inherited by the heirs in the future. Fan Xuanfu's other two sons are not eligible. How can they, the concubines, have the idea of not being entitled to their share.
However, I would like to fight for the opportunity to stay in bed at night.
The bold Forresta took the initiative and offered herself as a pillow mat. The twins she gave birth to were already over a year old, and she was eager to get pregnant again.
The other women had different expressions when they saw that she had taken the lead.
Huaiyu glanced at the women, all charming and charming.
Except for the obedient Chen Runniang who was taken care of this morning, the other women all had longing in their eyes.
It's very embarrassing.
It may not be a good thing to have all the women around. Anyway, it has been almost a year since he returned from Chang'an, and Huaiyu has never taken any concubines or maids.
Seeing that he was dazzled and embarrassed, Xuan Fu smiled and said, "Bring me the green-headed ivory card. Whoever you turn over will be the one."
This is quite fair.
Although several concubines with higher status sometimes feel that turning over cards is a bit of a disadvantage for them, because they are concubines, but they have to turn over the cards together with the concubines.
Pick up a green-headed ivory plaque from the tray.
Xuanfu took it,
"Tang Liu Niang,"
She waved Tang Liu Niang over, "How clean have you been these days?"
Tang Liuniang nodded repeatedly,
Xuan Fu said, "Take a bath and burn incense at night, and serve Alang well."
night,
Huaiyu went to Tang Liuniang's courtyard.
"Where's Linglong?"
"When I felt sleepy from reading and writing, I asked Mother to take me to wash up and go to bed first."
Huaiyu took the workbook of Wuniang Linglong, the daughter of the two of them, and looked at her handwriting. The handwriting was neat and neat, and the silk was pretty.
It is estimated that Tang Liuniang did not want her daughter to disturb the rare time between the two of them, so she specially arranged to take her to the side courtyard.
Huaiyu took his daughter's calligraphy exercise book and looked at it while chatting with Tang Liuniang. She rubbed his shoulders and neck, exuding a pleasant fragrance.
The jasmine perfume that I put on my body and even the candles in the room were mixed with spices.
She had just taken a bath and changed into a gauze skirt. She was looming and looked very beautiful. This daughter of a noble family in Lingzhou was still very young and her figure was well maintained.
"Alang, your strength is okay, do you want to work harder?"
"Oh, that's alright."
When they got to the back, Huaiyu simply lay down on his stomach and let her massage his back.
"Have you been here recently?" Huaiyu asked.
"He will come to see me and Linglong every once in a while. A few days ago, when Liu'er was celebrating her full moon, he and his uncle came to congratulate us and stopped by to see us." Tang Liuniang didn't hide anything.
Wu Huaiyu had never been very fond of Tang Liuniang's father, Tang Fengyi.
He was a man with a bad reputation as a regicide. He was a descendant of the Tang family, one of the Lingzhou aristocratic families. He was a city gatekeeper during the Sui Dynasty. He followed Yu Wenhua and others to kill Yang Guang, leading to a mutiny in Jiangdu.
Later he returned to the Tang Dynasty and served as the governor of Yuezhou for a time. Later, because of the crime of regicide and betrayal, he was first demoted to Sima of the governor's office in Guangzhou, and later he was demoted to a commoner and lived in Lingnan.
It can be said that it is quite annoying,
But it can also be said that he brought it upon himself. Many of the people who rebelled against the regicide were just outsiders in the late Sui Dynasty, and later joined the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuan treated them fairly well at first, but to this group of guys from wealthy families,
, all were given officials and titles,
But the nature of these people is hard to change.
For example, Pei Qantong was appointed the governor of Chenzhou by the imperial court and was the founding father of Changshe County. He was treated well, but he was very dissatisfied and did not know how to restrain himself. He often talked nonsense after drinking and was resentful of the imperial court. He even said that it was them who were responsible for him.
Only by killing Yang Guang could Li Yuan conquer the world. He would have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty and so on.
This is not seeking death,
After Li Tang became stable, he would naturally have to deal with these people.
Although Tang Fengyi was capable, after all, with the reputation of being a regicide, there was no way he could gain Li Tang's trust and he was demoted again and again.
Fortunately, he had a newly wealthy son-in-law. When he was serving as an official abroad, Wu Huaiyu was serving in Lingzhou. The aristocratic families in Lingzhou were engaged in mischief, which almost caused Qiu Xinggong to be destroyed collectively. Fortunately, Wu Huaiyu took action.
In the end, Tang Liu Niang became Wu Huaiyu's concubine. Tang Fengyi didn't handle this matter at the beginning, and the Tang family's father directly took the decision.
Later Tang Fengyi was demoted again and again, and Wu Huaiyu's official career was very high. Of course he had no objection to this matter, but later he tried to cling to his son-in-law, but they ignored him at all.
Originally, the daughter was just a concubine. According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, the concubine's natal family was not worthy of being called the wife family. Naturally, Tang Fengyi was not worthy of being called the father-in-law.
Although Huaiyu didn't want to see her, after all, her daughter was his concubine and gave birth to a daughter for him. She was usually very good, gentle and sensible, so Wu Huaiyu reluctantly took care of this cheap father-in-law's family.
Although he was demoted to a commoner, Tang Fengyi was actually living quite well with Wu Huaiyu as his guardian. His maid gave birth to a younger brother, Kunlun slave Tang Fengxiao, who followed Wu Huaiyu and is still the boss of Guangli Hao.
Tang Fengyi just followed the rules and made a lot of profits. He has now settled in Guangzhou, where he also bought land and a shop, but his status is not high and he is a long-term person.
"Aye, do you have any requests?"
Tang Liuniang's hand paused for a moment, then continued to massage,
"Aye didn't make any requests. He just mentioned during our chat that Guangzhou's sea trade is now so prosperous and many sisters in our family have also invested money to open a business. He said that if I wanted to, I could also invest some money to open a business.
He also said he could help take care of it..."
Huaiyu lay there and smiled softly.
"Do you want to open a business?"
"Linglong is now older and has a lot of free time. She has saved some money for her dowry and the rewards given by Alang, so she thought that maybe she could learn from her sisters to invest. It would be good to make some money, so that Linglong can benefit from it in the future.
Buy more dowry."
Since Xuanfu's Fanlou has become more and more popular and opened branches everywhere, the concubines in the family are actually envious of it. These women all have some capital and want to do some business.
So first the Qiu sisters jointly opened a business and started trading.
Then the three sisters of the Fan family went to the Fan family and suggested that they also wanted to open a business. Xuanfu was of course willing to support the request of the three concubines' cousins. He went to Huaiyu in person to tell them, and naturally they started to open a business.
Then the three sisters of the Yun family also wanted to open a business, then Er Pei also opened a business as a partnership, and then A Liu and Dugu also opened a business.
The women in the backyard couldn't sit still.
Either join a partnership in twos or threes, or open a shop alone,
Basically, they have all participated in the lively trade in Guangzhou. Counting that Tang Liu Niang is going to open one now, there are thirteen.
Even Fan Xuanfu didn't participate at first, but later ended up alone.
All the wives and concubines in the backyard have joined the trade in Guangzhou, and they all opened trading houses. With Wu Huaiyu as their backer, guarding the Guangzhou Port, plus their connections with their natal families, and their own generous private money, this business
Actually it's pretty good.
Tang Fengyi probably saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.
"Since you want to open a trading house, and you, Aye, are willing to help, then you can open it. Then ask your uncle to lend you some manpower from Guangli Bank and set up the stall first. When opening a trading house in Guangzhou, the most important thing is relationships.
Background, and then you need to have capital in hand,
You don’t lack both, so if you can do this business, start small and then big, don’t rush and take your time.”
Huaiyu doesn't mind if his wives and concubines do some small business. Anyway, they don't need to show their faces. The shopkeepers with professional managers are in charge. They are just the bosses behind the scenes. There is no need to worry about losing money as long as he is here.
It is indeed more cost-effective to use the dowry to manage it than to keep it in hand, and it can be regarded as a preparation for the children.
After all, Tang Fengyi was a man who could kill kings and served as a governor before. He was also from a frontier family and was not lacking in abilities in all aspects. Now that he is a commoner, asking him to help his daughter take care of her business is a good use of everything.
, of course he wants to be a part of Liu Niang’s business, that’s no problem.
There are so many commercial houses in Guangzhou now. The women of the Wu family opening thirteen new commercial houses will not have any bad influence. On the contrary, it will promote the foreign trade business of Guangzhou Port.
"Go to sleep."
Huaiyu's words immediately ignited her enthusiasm. She was extra excited and enthusiastic tonight and tried her best to thank her husband.
afterwards,
Although she felt like she was going to collapse into mud, she still raised herself up with a pillow.
She firmly believes that this folk recipe can increase the chance of pregnancy, and she used this method when she was pregnant with Linglong.
This time, she wanted to conceive a son. After giving birth to a son, she would be very tough in the house.
It's harmonious again, I don't know what happened...
