Jinyi Night Walk

Flying snow falls, and it melts when it hits the ground.

The snowflakes in the air are as light as a girl's dancing posture, dancing gracefully with the breeze.

Qixia Mountain in winter has a different scene, compared with the verdure in spring and summer, it is dyed with a layer of dignity.

Suddenly there was laughter, and several beautiful women walked out of the abode in the mountain, lightly and fluttering.These women are all covered with "a round circle", some are shorter, called cloaks, and some are longer, called cloaks. The graceful and refined girl walking in the middle is wearing a fake A long cloak with double sleeves and a black collar, a Zhaojun hat on his head, and a pair of moccasin boots on his feet.

This woman was originally beautiful and beautiful, but she was even more graceful and dignified when she was lined up by the black-collared crane cape.This is Ming'er. In winter, the mountains have been replaced by bleakness, but as soon as she appears, the Qixia spring light seems to gather on her face, her apricot face and peach cheeks, the spring mountains are light, the autumn waves are turning, like a begonia drunk in the sun, The pear blossoms are as stunning as the rain. Months of love have nourished the boudoir and watered her into an extremely charming flower that contains water and dew.

Behind her, there are two beauties of different races closely following, with blond hair, high nose, deep blue eyes, skin like snow, tall and tall, half a head taller than her, like two glamorous female bodyguards, which is natural They are Jeanne and Sirin, the two beauties in Kucha.

The rest of the women also have plain faces, slender waists, graceful figures, and elegant temperament, all of which are extremely beautiful in the world. These are Xia Xun's wives and concubines, Xie Xie, Su Ying and Xiao Di, Because Ziqi is pregnant and gradually showing her pregnancy, she only rests at home and never comes out with her.

Xiaodi has got his wish and became Xia Xun's concubine and Su Ying has now lived in Fuguo Duke's Mansion for a long time.Originally, Su Ying came to live for three or two months every year, and the rest of the time she lived on the island. Xia Xun allowed her to indulge her all the time, but after Ming'er took care of the family, how could she be so careless.

Xia Xun originally wanted to get along with Xi Ni, but Ming'er had a different opinion:

"Is the elder sister of the Su family counted as the husband's concubine? If not, it's just that the wild flowers that the husband picked up outside are causing trouble, I don't care about you! But such a woman is absolutely not allowed to enter the gate of my Fuguo's mansion again! Everyone in the mansion With a population of more than a thousand people, how can you hide it from other people’s eyes and ears, and spread it out, what reputation do you have? If this one is used by someone with a heart, it will be enough to impeach you to dismiss you from office and seize the title. You have learned from Hu’s son-in-law, don’t you know yourself? Don't do anything, it's just that your emperor's favorite is at the top of the sky, and you don't want to act rashly. People don't have a thousand days to be happy, and flowers don't have a hundred days to be red. Can you guarantee that you will not experience ups and downs in your life?

If she is a woman from my Yang family who is out alone with her two daughters, is it because you are not doing enough to raise her, or is she not abiding by women's rules?Are you going to explain it to everyone in the world?In spring, summer, autumn and winter, four seasons of worshiping in-laws and gods, Chongyang and New Year's Day, and sweeping ancestors' tombs, she is a woman of the Yang family, can she stay out of it?If the rules are messed up, how can the Yang family's style be corrected? "

A series of questions made Xia Xun dumbfounded. In this era, he still doesn't understand the entire traditional moral system that binds the family and the family. I didn't take it to heart.He has even forgotten the requirements of this era for a gentleman to "cultivate one's body and family and then govern the country and the world...". His family affairs can be regarded as a major moral flaw and be taken as an excuse by others.

Ziqi was born in a wealthy family, and many fathers, brothers, and elders have raised outside rooms. She doesn't take it seriously. In fact, Xie Yufei and Xia Xun have long complained about Su Ying's mother and daughter's arrangements, but this is Xia Xun. Xun agreed, but she didn't have the confidence to take care of it. Now that Ming'er had entered the Yang family and became the housewife of the Yang family, if she ignored this matter, it would be the negligence of the inner master, but she couldn't ignore it.

Ming'er asked again: "Are Si Xun and Si Yang the flesh and blood of your husband? You let them live on the island with their mother all year round. Is this considered fulfilling your father's responsibility? Now that they are still young and only want to play, that's all." How can you not complain to you when your family is older? Besides, they are a girl's family, so they don't have to take the Jinshi exam, but they have to read, learn to read, play chess, and cook. Could it be that when your daughter grows up, she will also be a pair of river and lake people who run boats and sail the sea?"

Parents are here, and they don’t travel far. This is a requirement for a boy’s family, but the requirement for a girl’s family is actually stricter.Don't look at Ming'er as a gentle and understanding girl, but since she is the head of the Yang family, she must not be accommodating when it comes to the affairs of the Yang family.Being a housewife of the Yang family doesn't just mean serving her husband, having children, and taking care of household chores. These are the affairs of the back house, and she must take responsibility. If she only wants to be a good old man, she will not be able to fulfill her role as a wife. obligation.

Xia Xun blushed and said, "But Feng...she insists on this, and I don't want to make things difficult for her..."

Ming'er, who was originally looking very serious, suddenly smiled sweetly, and said softly: "Don't make things difficult for Mr. Xiang, this is something that I should take care of, and I just leave it to my own."

When the husband and wife were in love in the boudoir, Xia Xun asked her to call her husband or brother-in-law. Ming'er was obedient and tender like water. When she called herself, she also called herself "Ming'er" according to his wishes, but in In front of people, she would never call her indiscriminately. In her words, this is called establishing rules.The husband now has wives and concubines, and the Yang family has more than a thousand members. It will not be known how large a family will be multiplied in the future. There are no rules, and the house is not peaceful.

Xia Xun thought about it carefully, what Ming'er said was not unreasonable, people who could not integrate into this world would be excluded and abandoned by the whole world.For a long time, he has been busy on the go, so he has less to worry about family affairs, and Ziqi and Xie Xie have not been sure about this aspect as he wandered around. He has a deep relationship with these women. Emotion is what maintains the love between the husband and wife and the prosperity of the family. If it were another family, I am afraid there would be many scandals, so I acquiesced to Mu Dagger's proposition.

I don't know what Ming'er and Su Ying said. After bringing Su Ying and the two children back from the island, Ming'er and Su Ying had a long talk alone for an afternoon. I live on the island.

"Our family's more than [-] acres of land will still be planted with rice, silk, tea, and mulberry next spring. It is indeed profitable, but this thousand acres of fertile land is a bit ruined if these things are planted. Once it comes to turbulent times, silk tea is far inferior to grain. If it is useful, it is impossible to cut down trees to grow food. Buy the slopes and mountains along the mountain, plant mulberry and silkworms, and plant tea trees, which can be used on these slopes and at the foot of the mountain.”

Ming'er gave instructions to Xiaodi, and Xiaodi nodded. Xiao had always been in charge of the Yang family's management of the mansion, villa, lower court, and fields. Now Xiaodi took care of the Yang family's gaps .It has only been a little over a month since Xiaodi became Xia Xun's talent, her pretty face is bright and clear with a little makeup on, her eyes are clear and clear, and she seems to be a little childish, she is already a 20-year-old girl, but she is more beautiful than her. Ming'er, who is four years younger than her, seems to be more mature.

"Over there in Shandong, the Peng family has already opened their way?"

Ming'er turned to ask Sirin again, and Sirin replied, "Yes, ma'am, the Peng family got a joint survey, and they have already sailed two boats. They have made a lot of money and opened up their way."

Ming'er nodded and said, "Okay, Sister Qi is pregnant, so don't worry about it, we'll talk about it after Sister Xi gives birth. As for the domestic sales, the master has explained...it will be in the hands of the Ximen family. You can explain the matter again."

The Peng family obtained the survey and cooperation as they wished, and made two trips to North Korea and Japan, which made a lot of money.Of course, the Peng family's financial resources and manpower alone could not support this waterway. The powerful families on the ground in Shandong began to intervene one after another. The Duke Fu's mansion is so big that it cannot just sit on the mountain. It cannot be supported by Xia Xun's salary alone, so he has to find another fortune. road.

In fact, most of the wealthy families have their own ways of making money, but the methods are extremely secretive. Outsiders only see these wealthy families spending a lot of money, but they don’t know their ways of making money. If they don’t have their own ways of making money, even if they want to Even a corrupt official can't stand such troubles, not to mention that Zhu Di's anti-corruption efforts are not inferior to his father's. As a corrupt official, he can make a lot of money or take the risk of life and death. A wealthy family can't afford to make a small mistake Moreover, they are not directly in power as officials, and they cannot accept much bribes.

Xia Xun has a salary of several thousand shi. In the past, it was just two wives and dozens of servants who could barely support him. Now there are more than a thousand people in Fuguo Gongfu, how much does it cost just to open their mouths to eat?Not to mention the expenses of welcoming and sending them away, and the expenses required for the ostentation that a wealthy family should have. Although Xia Xun has a smuggling channel, it is to supply Qianlong's funds, and it can't subsidize his own much. This is a matter of family management , it will naturally fall on Ming'er.Thank you for listening to Ming'er's words, and couldn't help but said: "When it comes to sea market trade, Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang are the most prosperous. Why do we choose Shandong alone? Compared with those places, the sea market in Shandong Trade is nowhere near that."

Ming'er smiled and explained: "That's true, but it's difficult for outsiders to intervene in a situation that has already formed. To open up the situation in these places, you must use the power of your husband, and these businesses are not enough. As an outsider, even if we use our family's power to forcibly open the situation, cut off their financial resources, and rob them of their business, they will be willing to let it go? With the current status of Xianggong, he does not seek huge profits, but only seeks stability. .

Shandong is different. It is just emerging there. As long as it develops, the future space is also the largest, and you can join if you have capital. You don’t need to use the power of the Xianggong. With the Peng family and Ximen’s family as the outer cover, the Xianggong can also be more innocent. .We can't let people know that our Yang family is involved in this matter. "

Ming'er shook his little hand, and asked Nama to hand over a warm water bag. Ming'er took it and put it in his sleeve, and said: "The emperor has been immigrating to Beijing from various provinces. It seems that he is very interested in this land of Longxing." I have a special liking. In my opinion, in the future, Beijing will become one of the largest cities in our Ming Dynasty. No matter in terms of population or prosperity, it will not be much worse than Jinling. We preemptively occupied Shandong’s seaport and gradually penetrated into Beijing. Sea transportation and land sales are very profitable. This does not include the loss and cost of operating long-distance transportation in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang.”

With her dowry, Ming'er also purchased many shops in Jinling City, dealing in various products. These businesses were handed over to Xie Yufei. Xie Yufei can be said to be the second only to her in the Yang family. With her help, Ming'er saved a lot of energy.But thanking you is also a bit eager for quick success. In this regard, Ming'er's vision of the overall situation is not as good as Minger's.

When Ming'er makes any moves, she first seeks stability.The first is to seek immediate stability. People from the Yang family cannot be directly involved in these matters. The rich and aristocratic family has naturally formed its own set of management and operation methods for thousands of years. The land is in your own hands, but you will never interfere in person. Once something happens, you can cut off your fingers at any time without affecting the foundation!

The second is to seek stability in the future. Huge profits are risky, and things that may affect the current survival of the Yang family or bring a fatal blow to the future Yang family cannot be done.The current wealth of the Yang family is enough for the whole family to live comfortably and live in prosperity and wealth.If the heart is accumulated here, it is not for the consideration of future generations. Who doesn't want to accumulate more family business for the children and grandchildren?Since starting a family and having children, this has naturally become a responsibility in the minds of parents.

Reproduction is not just the reproduction of the meaning of life. This is the greatness of parents and ancestors.As a child, honor your parents and remember your ancestors, because what he left you is not just the inheritance of life.If it is limited to this, birds, animals, and even every flower and grass can have the same selfless and great love that humans have for their children.

"Let's go back to Jinhuangmen's neipin!"

Ming'er handed the hot bag to Rang Na, looked back at Xie Xie and said with a smile: "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, house cleaning, ancestor worship, visiting people, and other things, you have to help me think about it." After finishing speaking Taking Su Ying's arm, she said affectionately: "The villa at the foot of Cigrao Mountain is under construction. When spring comes, our family will come and stay for a while. There are mountains and water there, Si Yang and Sixun will definitely like it."

After hearing this, Xiaodi said happily: "Then will the master go with you?"

Ming'er raised her small mouth, and that graceful and elegant charm was replaced by cuteness and mischievousness: "That lazy guy is idle, has nothing to do all day long, and has become a shopkeeper who doesn't care about everything. Let us worry about it, ask him to accompany us to go out to relax, he dare not agree, tell me, can we spare him?"

"Ah, sneeze!" The shopkeeper of the Yang family sneezed, and hurriedly wrapped his cloak tighter.

At this moment, he was walking in a hurry on the way to the palace. He was eating wine with Zhu Neng and Xu Jingchang at home. Suddenly, an urgent order called him out. He hadn't drunk the wine yet, Xia Xun I thought to myself: "The Chinese New Year is about to come, what is the urgent matter of the emperor. Could it be that I want to ask about the progress of the Dabaoen Temple? Such a huge temple is no less than a palace, and it will not be completed in five or eight years. What is the emperor anxious about!".Brothers and sisters, ask for a guarantee for the end of the month, what are you waiting for, there is no double, and no cubs, just vote for it, reserve is not a good child. jTo be continued. , You are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and months. Your support is my biggest motivation.
