Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 13
General's Mansion,
The first floor of Dongyun Building,
The warm scene of the mother and son lasted for a long time, and it was a long time since they chatted together. During the period, Zhang Jinyu was talking and Wang Shihan was nodding. In the end, Zhang Jinyu herself felt a little embarrassed.

"Well, I haven't talked to my mother for a long time, and I can't stop after this meeting."

"You, you, it's okay, I like to hear it."

Mrs. Wang poured a cup of tea for her son,

"Drink some, your throat will be dry!"

"A little bit, I drink the big one, this one is too small."

Jinyu was also polite, and directly picked up the teapot and drank it.

Lan Yue'er and Lan Shu'er beside them also pursed their lips and smiled.

"How's the fight going?"

Mrs. Wang politely asked about the previous battle,

"It's fine, mother, don't worry, the 30 defenders in the city are under my control."

"Don't take it lightly. There are sharpshooters among the Jurchens. They are called Condor Shooters. They use special longbows. They can shoot farther and more accurately. Your father was injured by them, and his golden sores burst and died."

When Mrs. Wang said this, she felt very sad.
"Knowing about mother, I have a chance to kill their eagle shooter."

"No, no, it's not for you to take revenge. Life and death on the battlefield depend on destiny. I'm telling you not to stand out. It's important to save your life!"

Mrs. Wang quickly explained,

"Don't worry, mother, I'm not a fool. There are so many people, and I won't go up there myself. Even if I can't avenge myself, Huang Jitai won't be able to leave this time if he doesn't leave half of his net worth."

"Just be safe, if after this time, mother finds some old relatives and transfers you back to the customs, we won't be worried here anymore."

Wang Shihan has been thinking about this matter since her husband died, even though she and the Jinling Wang family are not from the same family,

But as a famous family in Jinling, they are also closely related to the Jinling royal family. Although they are a bit oblique, they are easy to talk to!

"My mother, I can't be a deserter. So many brothers have followed our Zhang family for two generations, how can we abandon them, and how can we not avenge the national humiliation or family feud!"

Zhang Jinyu was taken aback when he heard that, this is not possible, the plan has already started, this is absolutely not possible.

"Okay, if you don't leave, you won't leave. I still like my Dongyun Building. You are not young anymore. After the fight, I will return to Beijing to find you a big lady and give me a big fat boy. I won't be bored." gone."

"Okay, listen to my mother, but I want Lan Yue and Lan Shu too."

How could Zhang Jinyu give up on these two super beauties? I thought Lan Yueer was the most beautiful I had ever seen so far, but I didn't expect that Lan Shu was not bad either. This is a man's instinct, and he made excuses for himself.

"All right, the two of them are the concubines I prepared for you. Not now, I will teach you how to keep them by your side. You should put them in the room after you finish your work."

Hearing Mrs. Wang's words, the second daughter also blushed and felt very satisfied.

"Report!"

An urgent alarm interrupted the moment of warmth in the room.

That anger in Zhang Jinyu's heart,
"what's up?"

"Report, my lord, Shen Qianhu is here, it's urgent!"

The guard outside the door was also aggrieved when he heard the impatient voice of the adult.

"Got it, let him have some tea in the living room, wait a minute, I'll be there soon."

Zhang Jinyu knew that things were settled,

"Mother, there are still some urgent matters to be dealt with. Take care of yourself. When everything is well, let's go out and play."

"Okay, don't worry, you do your work first."

"As for the two of you, I said I would never break my promise to let you in, so I drank this cup of wine with tea instead of wine,"

Zhang Jinyu is also shameless, directly forcing the two of them to have a drink with him,

Although the two were struggling, the movements in their hands were not slow. They quickly poured four cups of tea, and Zhang Jinyu directly picked them up and the three of them drank them together.
"You two stay and take good care of mother."

"Yes, concubine, listen to the young master!"

After drinking,
The two also got up and went to Wanfu, and even changed their names.

"Okay, mother, the son will leave,"

"Go on, slow down on the road."

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Zhang Jinyu got up and went out. There was still something important to discuss.

The three people in the room watched Zhang Jinyu walk out of the attic and drift away.
Wang Shihan suddenly said;

"Well, will this be satisfactory?"

Mrs. Wang seemed to be a different person, her tone was so sharp and domineering.

"Isn't this arranged by the saint? Besides, it's inseparable now!"

Lan Shuer quietly said,
"Then madam, what about those people in the pass?"

Lan Yue'er still screamed like the old lady, she got used to it.

"Our people are still hidden, and now they are all in the name of chambers of commerce in various places. Living a good life may not be the way out. As for the idiot who claims to be a lifeless mother, if this continues, he will inevitably gather people to rebel and die."

"Will that implicate our Saintess faction of the White Lotus Sect?"

Lan Yueer asked worriedly.

"It must be. After all, you are all members of the White Lotus Sect. The imperial court doesn't care which faction you belong to, so we made arrangements 20 years ago. Now we are lurking in the pass, and the outside of the pass has become our Saintess faction's private territory."

Mrs. Wang also said proudly,

"Then do we want to take down the position of the leader in the pass?"

Lan Shu asked with some uncertainty,
"If I used to win it, now? I'm not interested anymore. We are all living a good life, and all the brothers are married and established businesses. Why bother to take the beheading business?"

Mrs. Wang also said in a moody way.

"Saint, according to reports from Guardian Zuo, the leader and Guardian Right, as well as some church leaders in the southern hall, have been in close contact in recent years. Guardian Zuo is worried that after the failure of the uprising that year, the leader's faction will trouble us after regaining strength. .”

"What are you afraid of? They are them and we are us. Apart from using one name, there are now two sects. For me, I am the leader. If it weren't for the kindness of the previous saint, she would still be the leader. Hmph!"

When Mrs. Wang said this, she felt a little annoyed when she thought of the motherly care of the previous saintess.

"Then what if the people from the leader of the White Lotus Sect in Guannei come to track down our whereabouts?"

Lan Yue'er is still a little worried. The White Lotus Sect has stood for a hundred years and has its own inheritance. The three religions accept everything, and the personnel are extremely complicated.

"The faction of the leader of the White Lotus Sect has been going on for so many years, I'm afraid they have forgotten us. Besides, if she comes to trouble us, she will cut off her outstretched hand. Our lurking is growing, not scattered ! After so many years, the strength is no longer what it used to be."

"You two girls are the next saintesses of my White Lotus Sect's saintesses. One is bright and the other is dark. I have issued a notice a few years ago. There are some things that need to be argued. "

Mrs. Wang's domineering words lingered in the attic for a long time.

"Follow the teachings of the saint!"

"Okay, you two have to call me old lady, here's a daughter-in-law, don't give a toast to my mother!"

"Yes, Holy Mother."

Lan Yueer and Lan Shuer made fun of each other,
"By the way! Holy Maiden, should we inform the hall below that we must prepare to go down and gather our subordinates. I heard that tomorrow is the big battle. Jurchen seems to be determined to take down Pingyang County!"

"How many people did Jurchen bring this time?"

Mrs. Wang didn't have any big reaction.
"I heard that 25 troops have come, including 10 cavalry and 15 infantry."

Lan Shu'er said in a familiar manner that her subordinates had already sent the information.

"Then he is hopeless. With more than 20 defenders, the Jurchen has no more than double the infantry strength and cannot be defeated. Do you think that the largest city in the north built by the Taishang Emperor Zhou Shengzhuo of Dawu is made of tofu Ah, besides, you don’t know how many weapons are in the West City’s arsenal?”

"Here, mother, am I worried about Mr. Lang? You see that he hasn't been sleeping well or eating well these days, so tell him that the more than 5 people in Xicheng Weapons Square are all from our own people, so he can rest assured." no?"

"No, you must not let him know about the affairs in the church. Besides, this is also a good opportunity to train him. If you grasp him, you will be a hero. Otherwise, come back as soon as possible and live an honest life."

"That's it, business as usual?"

"Well, how many people are there at the mine?"

"This is quite a lot. There are 8 people in coal mines alone, 6 people in iron mines, and more than 30 people in farms."

Lan Shuer said with some uncertainty,
"Why so many people?"

Wang Shihan was also a little surprised. He hadn't asked about it for a few years, and he thought it was because the number of congregants was tens of thousands in the past, but now it has doubled. This is too capable!
"Now there are so many corrupt officials in Dawu, and the people are miserable! They are all fleeing. We don't care about the area in this place, and there is a sign of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Basically, those who fled from the north have come to us!"

"Besides, inside and outside the pass, especially the north and the foreigners, the amount of coal and iron needed in Pingyang is increasing, and the amount of coal and iron is getting bigger and bigger. There are not enough people! Besides, a lot of people need to open up wasteland. Otherwise, I can’t afford it, and then all the nobles in the pass are selling it cheaply, and I arranged for them to buy them all, and now there are more than 60 Zhuangzi alone.”

"Then how much silver do I have in the warehouse underneath Dongyun Building?"

"Well, now the annual income of the family is 500 million taels, and now the wife's private treasury has at least 7000 million taels of cash in cash, all of which are the income from coal mines, iron mines and wineries over the years. The monthly profit of coal and iron is 40 taels Above, Mr. Lang is also very powerful, I don’t know where to get 100 million taels of silver locked in his backyard, counting Zhang’s public account, there are more than 2000 million taels.”

Both Lan Shuer and Lan Yueer looked admiring and amazed.

Mrs. Wang has an unbelievable expression on her face. She didn't expect that, what she did unintentionally back then, she didn't expect that she is now rich as an enemy.

Look at my son's fortune, maybe I can also sit in the position of queen mother.

Wang Shihan, who had no desires or desires, suddenly had an ambition to make his son an emperor.
