The Only Favourite Ugly Husband Chapter 152: Back to Hexing Mansion
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the ugly husband!
This is ancient times.
Don't look at the peace and prosperity of Hexing Mansion, other places have always been wars.
In such a place, it is always disturbing if there is not enough power in your hands.
Jiang Zhen and Wen Ming went to sea for business together. After Wen Ming made money, he either put the money at home or bought land, but he was different. He had been gathering manpower to train manpower.
Up to now, there are thousands of adults under Jiang Zhen who are a little fistful. Some of them work as escorts in the Jinzhen Escort, and some will follow him to sea.
After he returned from overseas, he gave those who followed him out to sea for a few days, and now it's time to start training again.
In the mountains near Yabian Village, there is a special training field where Jiang Zhen trained his subordinates. Today, he went there early.
In the training ground, hundreds of men headed by Zhu Erlin are already waiting.
It's still early, they just sit lazily on the ground or on wooden stakes, and then wipe the knives in their hands.
When I first followed Jiang Zhen, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Jiang Ming, who is very free, has a round waist and is very stable. What he is holding is not a knife, but a spear.
In the beginning, Jiang Zhen didn’t have much money, so he let his subordinates hold bamboo poles to train with bamboo poles as weapons. Jiang Ming liked the feeling of stabbing people with bamboo poles. Later, when he had a sword made of stainless steel, He doesn't want to change weapons, and there are several of them like his.
Then Jiang Zhen had someone get some spears for them.
"Jiang Ming, I heard that you are going to marry a wife?" Zhu Erlin looked at Jiang Ming: "Have you seen your wife?"
"You are stupid!" Jiang Ming glanced at Zhu Erlin. His daughter-in-law was told to him by his parents. It was from Hecheng County. He received the news no earlier than Zhu Erlin and the others. Could he have met?
Zhu Erlin looked at Jiang Ming with an earnest expression: "Xiao Ming, you must be nice to your daughter-in-law, or else it will be months after we go out. If your daughter-in-law ran away, there would be no place to cry. Go."
"Do you think my daughter-in-law is willing to run away with my appearance?" Jiang Ming looked at Zhu Erlin: "However, you should be careful."
"Look for a punch!" Zhu Erlin kicked Jiang Ming with a sweeping leg.
Seeing that the two are about to fight, someone suddenly ran in outside: "Stop and stop making trouble, get your clothes organized, hurry up!"
"What's the matter?" Zhu Erlin and Jiang Ming let go of each other and looked at them puzzledly.
"The boss is here!" That humane.
"The boss came, he came." Zhu Erlin said, their boss is more careless than them. After going to sea last time, he even cut his hair short... if it wasn't for the long time they went to sea, they raised it. After five months of raising them, their boss will be scolded when he comes back with such a hair!
"Bring the lady!" the man said again.
"Miss?!" Zhu Erlin was startled, and quickly stood up, tidying up his clothes.
When Jiang Zhen was at sea, he kept telling people how cute his daughter Zhao Mingzhu was, so that although they hadn't seen Zhao Mingzhu very much, they couldn't help but love this child.
Under such circumstances, they naturally do not want to show their sloppy side in front of Zhao Mingzhu.
As soon as Zhu Erlin and the others packed up, Jiang Zhen brought Zhao Mingzhu over.
Zhao Mingzhu, who is more than four years old, is no longer as fat as he was when he was a child, but his face is still a bit round and his eyes are big, making him look very cute.
"Boss, why did you bring the young lady here?" Jiang Ming looked at Jiang Zhen puzzled.
"She will come every day from now on." Jiang Zhen said.
Jiang Ming and others are a little dumbfounded, let Zhao Mingzhu come over every day? !
Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jin are now considered people with a face and a face. Their daughter should be raised in a deep boudoir. There are a group of maids waiting for them. Then they are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the butler’s embroidery is all right ... brought them here?
Is their boss not afraid to tan the young lady?
These people are extremely helpless, but Zhao Mingzhu is very interested in everything here.
You can climb up and down the wooden towers, one by one high and low wooden piles, winding across the river, and a bridge made of ropes...
"Mingzhu, Dad will take you here today!" Jiang Zhen said to Zhao Mingzhu.
In fact, he wanted to bring Zhao Chengyu, but Zhao Chengyu was less than three years old, so he was too young.
Zhao Mingzhu nodded vigorously.
Some Zhao Mingzhu can "play", while others can't. Jiang Zhen, who can play, takes her to play with her. When she encounters someone who can't play, Jiang Zhen tie her to her chest and then go to "play" by herself.
Zhao Mingzhu leaned on Jiang Zhen's chest, giggling, very happy.
But when Wenming came over to see this scene, he was scared into a cold sweat.
Jiang Zhen actually took his daughter and climbed onto such a high wooden stake!
Although he often goes out to sea with the ship, he rarely does the things that the crew do. He has never climbed the mast or anything. He is a little afraid of heights, but this Jiang Zhen...
"Wen Ming, something is going on?" Jiang Zhen saw that Wen Ming had brought people over, so he climbed down from a height and urged his men to continue practicing.
"Something happened." Wen Ming said.
Jiang Zhen hugged Zhao Mingzhu, and Wen Ming came to a nearby place where they could relax for a while, then looked at Wen Ming: "What's the matter?"
"There are two things, one is Wen's boat, we want to buy it in the future, I am afraid it will not be so easy." Wen Ming said. There are many things that cannot involve interests. The Wen family originally loved Wen Yingniang very much, but now...
Wen’s father, Wen’s mother, and some of Wen Ying’s brothers, still have feelings for Wen Ying’s mother at this time, and others are not seen, and if the former’s feelings are to be maintained, it’s better Don't involve interests anymore.
In the future, I may not be able to buy a boat with Wen's family. Jiang Zhen had anticipated it, and even had some preparations, so he nodded now and approved the matter: "I know, what else?"
"The other thing is, Cheng Yongzhen from Pingzhou Prefecture, who did a big vote." Wen Ming said: "I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."
Wen Ming talked about this in detail.
This matter hasn't spread out yet, it was told to him by a maritime merchant he had known before.
Daqi has a sea ban, which stipulates that plates cannot be launched into the sea.
But Haishang is so profitable. If you send a common kitchen knife to Toyo, you can sell it for a hundred times the price!
So, the local government on the southern side of the Yangtze River has been secretly condoning, and in the end many large merchants have been born.
And this has a lot to do with the increasing population in Jiangnan and the serious land annexation-many people cannot rely on farming for a living, so they can only seek a living on the sea.
Hexing Mansion is better here, and further south, the maritime business forces there are really very strong.
Wen's shipbuilding is very powerful, but that's all. It is not the most powerful among maritime merchants. At present, the most powerful among maritime merchants is Cheng Yongzhen.
Cheng Yongzhen is a member of the Pingzhou Prefecture. He has gathered a group of fellow villagers to do sea trade. After 20 years, he has become the largest sea trader. And he can do this, and there are local officials who support him. related.
"Cheng Yongzhen is very capable, and he still wants to be an official. That's why, at the beginning of the Fujian province Pingzhou, many officials had good relations with him, and they also gave him some support, which allowed him to gather some Burning, killing and looting the pirates, only in recent years, the officials of the Heping prefecture have become suspicious, many of them are nasty, and they have begun to take the people to Ryukyu. Just a few months ago, he became king in Ryukyu and claimed to be the king of peace "Wen Ming said.
After Jiang Zhen started working as a maritime merchant, he naturally paid attention to other maritime merchants, including Cheng Yongzhen.
According to his understanding of Cheng Yongzhen... Cheng Yongzhen and the people under Cheng Yongzhen's hands are somewhat similar to the Liangshan heroes in "Water Margin".
The court has a maritime ban. They are doing illegal business, but they want to be recognized by the court, hoping that the court can recruit them...Of course, this is also the inevitable idea of people in this era.
People at this time always feel that being an official is the best way out.
"He actually did this?" Jiang Zhen was a little surprised.
"Yes." Wen Ming said: "He is like this, but the court has to pay attention to him. I don't know if the court will recruit him as he wishes."
"It's difficult." Jiang Zhen said: "From now on, we have to be more careful."
Jiang Zhen is a maritime merchant not just for making money, in fact... he wants to find a way out for himself overseas.
He has the Jinzhen Escort, has a sea boat, and if he can find a place to stay overseas, in the future, there will be war in Daqi, and he can also take his family away...
Because of this, when he first heard about what Cheng Yongzhen was doing, he still wondered if Cheng Yongzhen might want to do the same thing as himself, but soon he realized that it was not the case.
"We won't sail far for the time being. We only do business with the East, which is not a problem." Wen Ming said.
Jiang Zhen nodded, thinking that he had better find more staff and train.
Under Cheng Yongzhen's hands, it is said that there are 100,000 people. Compared with others, he is still a little smaller.
The Cheng Yongzhen incident did not affect the business of Jiang Zhen and Wen Ming. After all the merchants who should have arrived, they sold all the goods in their hands and made a lot of money.
After all the goods were delivered, Jiang Zhen and Wen Ming packed up their things and took their family back to Hexing Mansion.
In modern times, I haven't been home for a few months. Maybe when I go back, I will find that there is an extra building, but this time is different.
Hexing Mansion is still the same, that is, the "shock" flag on the dock, which is much more than before.
Jiang Zhen took the two children off the boat, and several carriages came immediately.
"Before going out to walk with a relative, I had to suffer a crime. Now everything has changed." Zhao Liu lived with Zhao Jin and his children at the beach before, and this time they are returning to the city together. Can't help but sigh.
How much you suffer when you travel far before! But now, everything has changed, it is a boat and a carriage again, it is easy and powerful.
Jiang Zhen smiled and helped Zhao Liu to the carriage, but he got on a horse next to him.
He prefers riding horses to riding in a carriage.
When he was riding a horse, he brought Zhao Mingzhu with him. Zhao Mingzhu has been taken by him to climb up and down these days. He is not only not afraid of riding a horse, but rather happy.
In the pomp here, the people on the pier have seen it, and then someone asked: "Who are these people?"
"You don't even know them? Did you see the one on the horse? That's the head of the Jin Zhen Escort!"
"The head of the Jinzhen Escort? So young?"
"Yes, it's so young! Besides, they are also maritime merchants besides the Jin Zhen Escort. I heard that they have made a lot of money."
"It's amazing!"
……
People talked a lot. In the crowd, a young man in his thirties, dressed as a scholar and dressed as a scholar, looked at the dock in a daze.
This person is Liao Qinghe.
Liao Qinghe was not watching Jiang Zhen, but the Wen family who came back with Jiang Zhen.
Wen Yingniang, she is pregnant again...
After learning that Wen Yingniang was pregnant, he once suspected that it was a fake and felt that it was impossible for him to have a baby. For this reason, he deliberately accepted two maids.
However, for three years, the two maids have not been pregnant, but it is Wen Yingniang. She and her husband are obviously together, but they are pregnant again.
Looking at the big belly of Wen Yingniang from a distance, Liao Qinghe felt extremely bitter.
Sometimes, when you have something, you can only see its shortcomings, but when you lose it, you can't help but miss its goodness, and even make it beautify it again and again in your memory.
Liao Qinghe was very unhappy with Wen Yingniang before and felt that she had embarrassed herself, but now I will remember it again...
When he was newly married, Wen Yingniang treated him tenderly.
Later, although the two often quarreled, he went home drunk, but Wen Yingniang always prepared sober tea for him.
For so many years, Wen Yingniang has been his closest person, but now, he has lost him.
Liao Qinghe stumbled towards the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard the sound of quarreling from home.
"You scold! You have the ability to scold again! If you scold again, I will go out and shout, saying that my child is not yours!" Lu Luan's voice was the loudest.
Mother Liao muttered, but she didn't dare to continue cursing.
Even if they had lost their face, they still couldn't bear to tear off the fig leaf on their faces, so that they had to keep Lu Luan at home, and even her children.
"You better treat my daughter better in the future, she is the only bone and blood in your family!" Lu Luan didn't stop, said again.
Mother Liao's expression froze.
Liao Qinghe saw Lu Luan's triumphant look and wanted to slap her twice. However, thinking of her threats, he dared not move.
He doesn't want people to know that he can't give birth.
For this, he even made the appearance of being infatuated with Wenying Niang, self-cultivation, and never married.
Liao's mother has always had nothing to do with Lu Luan. In the end, she could only curse and let Liao Qing and the other two concubines work.
The two were the maids beside Wen Yingniang. They have always liked Liao Qinghe very much. When Lu Luan appeared, they also protected Lu Luan, so Wen Yingniang did not take them away.
Later, they went to Liao Qinghe's bed as they wished, but they lived a life that couldn't even be a maidservant Wenying.
The Liao family is now destitute and drove away all the subordinates. They not only do rough work like pour Yexiang, but they also spin and weave to support the family, and they are getting old soon.
