urge Zhao to marry

Chapter 219 Turmoil
After Yu Wanniang said a lot of things to pay attention to, she thought of her son-in-law who didn't know what to come back, and said a little awkwardly: "Well, if the son-in-law comes back, remember to sleep in a separate room with him. For the first three months, Don't be fooled."

After speaking, I couldn't help but blush.

Mu Zhaozhao didn't take it seriously when he heard this: "I know, but why do you have to sleep separately?"

After speaking, he approached his mother again, and asked suspiciously: "Mother, will you let me add a housemate for him?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yu Wanniang raised her hand and tapped her daughter's forehead, fearing that she would do something stupid for the sake of her virtuous reputation, she couldn't help telling: "Up to now, many old scholars think that men can have three wives. There are four concubines, but women have to stick to one to the end and keep chastity for their husbands.

In fact, this is nothing more than that we women have no power or ability, so we can only cling to men and make extra efforts to add men to our husbands for the sake of a virtuous reputation.

But which of us women doesn't want to monopolize his husband?Who doesn't look forward to being a couple for life?

As long as he doesn't say anything, you can't be stupid enough to add someone to him.

The reputation of virtuousness cannot be eaten, drunk or used. If you can, mother would rather you be a jealous woman. "

Immediately, his tone became serious: "If Qin Mu wants to take in the housemates, he can't choose the maids around you. The maids are all familiar with your temperament, and mother is worried that you will not be ruthless in the future.

You can buy someone from outside, and then give her some medicine, at least you have to ensure that there will be no children from concubine within ten years.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your child. "

Mu Zhaozhao nodded obediently, but thought in his heart: I was afraid that my grandmother would love her grandson and wanted to add someone to serve my cousin, so I thought my grandmother told you something in private.

Now that I know it was a misunderstanding, I feel relieved.

After all, Qin Mu treats him pretty well now, and he doesn't have those extravagant thoughts for the time being.

To be honest, if Mrs. Hou and the others wanted to add someone to Qin Mu and make trouble for herself, she wouldn't worry at all.

But if Mrs. Meng had such thoughts, she would be very sad.

Because she really regards them as relatives.

If Qin Mu wanted to add someone, he didn't want to bear it, so he could just let him enter the palace to compete with the chief eunuch for the emperor's favor.

Seeing her daughter's well-behaved appearance, Yu Wanniang really wanted to pour everything she knew into her mind.

Anyway, she took the opportunity to give a few words of advice.

But after Mu Zhaozhao heard too much, the original cautiousness in her heart disappeared, especially now that she was pregnant with a child, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Before she saw her own mother pregnant with her younger brother, she suffered from morning sickness, drowsiness, and restlessness in the later stage. She saw these in her eyes and kept them in her heart.

But now I don’t have any uncomfortable reaction. I want to eat spicy fried rabbit, but my mother said that I can’t eat rabbit meat when I’m pregnant, and the child will be open-mouthed.

She also very cooperatively wanted to eat spicy fried beef.

But the mother insisted on saying that pregnant women should not eat too spicy food, they will get angry, and the children born in the future will have a lot of eye mucus.

Mu Zhaozhao: Hehe, how are you going to live these days?
She remembered now that Niang Zhuangzi went to Wu Dagui's daughter-in-law, and she still went to work in the fields when she was pregnant with the child.

She also heard from Da Niu Wu that before they defected to their mothers, they had a hard time and couldn't get enough to eat. Now, Da Niu Wu's two younger brothers are also very good?
After five days like this, Mu Zhaozhao wanted to pack up his mother and send her back.

On this day, Wu Dagui came to deliver the income of the past few months in the shop, and brought good news by the way.

"Master, I went to Duke Cheng'en's mansion this morning to send bamboo leaf incense to the concubine, and I heard some good news."

Wu Dagui smiled and said: "I heard that Wen Shangshu and the Qing family's father and son from Cheng'en Gong's mansion were all imprisoned by Dali Temple."

Another letter was sent: "This is the concubine Shizi asked me to hand it over to you."

After Mu Zhaozhao heard it, he couldn't believe it.

She was suddenly a little flustered, she didn't expect that she was so important, just because she was almost bitten by a vicious dog, she actually brought down a Shangshu and a Cheng Amber?

After she read the letter, she realized that she was thinking too much.

Lin Minxuan didn't write very carefully, but said that her husband tracked down Wen Shangshu, his in-laws, and several adults from the Six Departments who bought grain and cotton at low prices and sold them at high prices.

This year coincides with the severe winter, food shortages in several border areas, and the price of rice flour and cotton is rising steadily.

Wen Shangshu is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. Together with the Siyi Pavilion, he is in charge of receiving the vassals, foreign tribute envoys and translators.

Therefore, Wen Shangshu and many vassals and adults in neighboring countries have diplomacy.

This time, not only did the Daqing Dynasty coincide with the cold winter, but the neighboring countries were also in urgent need of rice, flour and cotton.

Wen Shangshu secretly sold these to neighboring countries. He must have earned a lot of money, but now that they are found out and the evidence is true, it is no wonder that the Holy One is angry.

We in the Daqing Dynasty were worried about the lack of food and cotton. You dare to use this to enrich your own pockets. If you are found out, you will definitely not be good. Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment will be busy again.

In addition, Wen Shangshu and the others also sell kerosene in their shop, and it is very likely that the kerosene in Xuanping Hou Mansion was bought from them.

But it hasn't been verified yet, and she will send a letter to herself when there is news from Mo Xiuyu.

After Mu Zhaozhao read the letter, he showed the letter to his mother, and he wandered around the room excitedly: "It's all right now, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Tai don't have the backing of their natal family, and they don't have the mood to show off in front of me anymore."

Then he sighed: "This official is really at risk. Yesterday he was high in the temple, but today he is a sinner. If he doesn't do it, he will commit the crime of ransacking his family and exterminating his family."

Wu Dagui quickly flattered: "Master, you are right."

Yu Wanniang looked at it carefully several times before she felt a little flustered, and worriedly told her daughter: "If you don't get the money in your hand, just tell your mother, mother will get it for you, and you must not let Amu do it." Those corruption and bribery things."

Mu Zhaozhao opened the box Wu Dagui sent, and after counting it, there were also 200 taels of silver notes, so she puffed up her chest: "Mother, my daughter is so capable, how can she not make ends meet?"

He took out two hundred taels of silver notes and handed them to his mother: "Here, this is your daughter's honor to you."

"You," Yu Wanniang put the banknotes back into the box without any hassle, and gave her daughter a look: "You are going to be a mother now, so you can't be extravagant when you spend money."

"If you give birth to a daughter, you have to save a dowry for her. I heard that the noble girls in the capital start saving dowry as soon as they are born."

"If you give birth to a son, then you will need money to study and marry a wife."

After finishing speaking, he looked at his daughter's stomach with joy in his eyes: "Since you are still young, even if you don't hold two babies in three years, you will have to give birth to two babies in five years, right?"

"When you are 30 years old, can you have six or seven children?"

"Mom, I'm not a sow, so I don't have so many babies!" Mu Zhaozhao was terrified when she heard that, because she didn't plan to have so many babies.

Yu Wanniang took a look at her daughter: "What stupid things are you talking about? If you have many brothers and sisters, you can have someone to help you in the future."

Mu Zhaozhao didn't want to argue with her, even if she was right, she could still turn black into white because she was her own mother.

She said to Wu Dagui: "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, I'm pregnant now, and I can't go outside, so I will leave all the business in the shop to you."

Wu Dagui quickly pointed to a stack of ledgers on the table: "Master, don't worry, the little ones will be careful. All the spices you want to buy are purchased from the shop you went to before, and those lists are all there."

"I also remember the various spices sold in detail..."

His current life is really easy, the master is generous, and he promised to give their family [-]% of the interest.

Calculated from the net profit of 1000 taels of silver, they would have 100 taels.

In the past six months or so, their family has saved more than 200 taels of silver.

In the past, this was a good thing they didn't even dare to think about.

Who could have imagined that they would have today?

For the first time, Wu Dagui felt that he had a good name, and that he was really rich.

He thought that in a few years, he would be able to buy a yard in the capital, take his aunt out to live with him, marry his two sons with daughter-in-laws, prepare a dowry for his daughter, and make her beautiful married.

Mu Zhaozhao asked again what kind of incense is selling well now, and are there many repeat customers?

Wu Dagui glanced at his master's mother-in-law, not daring to say that there are many returning customers in the place of fireworks, so he said vaguely: "It's in the account book, that is, those restaurants and inns with many customers are willing to buy them, and those wives of big families use them." Will visit again after that.”

He said this to himself.

In fact, he seldom does business with restaurants and restaurants. Even if they want incense, it is the most common aroma that can dispel odors and repel insects, and they can't earn a few copper coins.

On the contrary, those women in the place of fireworks, in order to compete for beauty, are willing to work hard on aromatherapy, such as clove, green water, peach blossom, pear, plum, red lotus, as long as the fragrance is good, they will not think it expensive at all, nor will they be expensive. Will haggle.

Mu Zhaozhao understood the implication of his words in seconds, and felt that after he became the shopkeeper, he had more winks, and knew that his mother didn't like to hear about doing business with those places.

So Mu Zhaozhao sent him away.

Yu Wanniang picked up the ledger and began to read, and couldn't help muttering again: "You are being too generous to them, aren't you? You also need to pay more attention to the ledger. People's hearts are changeable, so it's always better to be cautious."

"Mother is right." Mu Zhaozhao sat down next to her, put his arms around her shoulders and acted like a baby: "The main reason is that there are too many incense shops in the capital, and they need to go around looking for customers, and besides, that shop is under their management, and the capital city is not as good as it is." The shopkeeper of the store also needs 30 to [-] taels of silver per month, and now their family of five are working in the shop, I don’t need to worry about anything, just wait for the cash to be collected, it will save trouble, don’t you think? "

Yu Wanniang laughed when she heard this: "It's good that you know what's in your heart, and I'm afraid that if they have bad intentions, you will suffer a lot."

Mu Zhaozhao was confident: "Mother, don't worry, their deeds of selling their lives are still in your hands. I'm not afraid that they will have other ideas."
