www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Young Master Fierce!
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Fu Xiaoguan finally visited all his relatives and finally decided whose house he would have the New Year's Eve dinner at.
Yan Hao won the first prize by using the simplest lottery. It is said that His Majesty was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. Then His Majesty decided on the night of the first day of the new year, while Dong Kangping could only wait until the night of the second day of the new year.
This guy is a wealthy son-in-law. Your Majesty wants to talk more about future national policies with Fu Xiaoguan. Dong Kangping wants to ask Fu Xiaoguan when will Fu Erdai and Sweet Potato be implemented nationwide, but Yan Haochu is much simpler. Well, he just didn't understand one thing - why didn't Fu Xiaoguan become the emperor of the Wu Dynasty!
This is not to say that he is angry with this boy and does not fight. In fact, Fu Xiaoguan does not need to fight at all. He was just curious because he couldn't understand it, just like Emperor Xuan or his father Yan Beixi couldn't understand it either.
So tonight, he wanted to ask this son-in-law nicely.
The Yan family is going to entertain my uncle today, so naturally it must be done in a decent manner.
Yan Xiaolou’s mother, Mrs. Yan Chang, was even more happy. She had not yet spoken to her new and old son-in-law. As for the master’s question about why he didn’t become the emperor of the Wu Dynasty——
What good is there to be an emperor? Is it really okay to be called a loner?
In the eyes of the Yan Chang family, the current son-in-law is just right. He lives in Jinling City, so close to his natal family. Now he is already a third-rank official and is not yet eighteen years old. In the future, he will be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister. The inevitable.
His daughter Yan Xiaolou married him, and she did not become a child because of the ninth princess Yu Wenyun. The three of them are all official wives. I heard from my daughter that she came back occasionally and talked about how happy she was living in that new home. I am very happy. The only dissatisfaction is that there is no movement in my stomach.
For this reason, she asked her father-in-law to go to the imperial doctor and get some medicine that would make it easier to conceive. After the year was over, she asked her daughter to take it and drink it.
When the daughter gives birth to children for the Fu family, her position in the Fu family will be more stable in the future. Although my father-in-law is the prime minister, he is already old and will eventually retire in a few years. Uncle Yan Shidao doesn't know Can I worship the prime minister? If I fail to worship the prime minister, this huge Yan clan needs someone to support it.
And the good son-in-law will obviously not fail. He still has a long future and his achievements will be very high!
So Yan Changshi was busy inside and outside, watching the people at work, and always pointed out some areas that had not been taken care of.
At this moment in Yan Beixi's study, Yan Beixi is sitting on the upper seat of the tea table. The eldest son Yan Shidao is on his left, the second son Yan Qiuping is on his right, and the third son Yan Hao is sitting on Yan Shi's first Tao lowered his position, while Yan Xiwen, the eldest son and grandson, sat opposite, and Yan Linqiu, Yan Qiuping's eldest son, sat beside Yan Xiwen.
Yan Qiuping was promoted to Daotai of the Yellow River North Road this spring, and Yan Linqiu was the magistrate of Quyi County, Yongning Prefecture, Shanxi Province.
There are four other men in the Yan clan. They are all officials from one side of the family, but their qualifications are still relatively young. They are all county magistrates and have not returned this year.
While Yan Xiwen was making tea, Yan Beixi spoke: "Since Xiaolou married Fu Xiaoguan, this is the first time we have officially invited them to a banquet. This guy has a casual temperament, so he doesn't need to be too particular. Xiwen and Linqiu have also been in contact with him. Speaking of the two pilot projects under your rule, Fu Xiaoguan has helped a lot. It is inconvenient for us elders to persuade people to drink, so you two have to express your feelings. ”
"The Yao County that Xiwen governs is very good. Your Majesty means that Xiwen has the talent to govern a state. I want to ask you, do you want to govern a state?"
Yan Xiwen was startled and quickly shook his head, "Grandpa, it's not possible now."
"Why?"
"The wharf in Yao County has been built, but the shipyard is still under construction. We have hired some shipwrights, most of whom are building ship craftsmen, but they are very unfamiliar with warships."
Yan Xiwen paused, and then said: "This dock is Fu Xiaoguan's idea. It is very big, several times larger than all the docks along the Yangtze River. This is also Fu Xiaoguan's plan. He once said that he would join the military. He brought in craftsmen who could build warships, and he also arranged for the Xishan R&D Center to work on naval guns, but there is no news yet."
"He took this matter so seriously that his grandchildren thought he must have made some big move. All the grandchildren wanted to stay in Yao County for another two or three years to see the birth of this battleship. At that time, the grandchildren were more mature and had a strong understanding of the New Deal. The understanding is also deeper, and it is not too late to know the state again."
Battleship?
When Yan Beixi and others heard this, they were stunned for a long time.
What is this battleship doing?
Do you need warships on the Yangtze River?
Looking at the doubts of Yan Beixi and others, Yan Xiwen quickly added: "Fu Xiaoguan mentioned it in his letter to me. He said that the outlet of the Yangtze River is in the East China Sea, and the purpose of tinkering with this warship is to sail in the future. Go to sea."
"Why go to sea?" Yan Haochu asked.
"This...I don't know. Anyway, according to that boy's virtue, there must be great benefits for him to invest so much money in tinkering."
This was true. Yan Haochu and others did not ask any more questions, and Yan Beixi also did not mention the idea of bringing Yan Xiwen to Zhizhou.
Then the family chatted a lot, mostly Yan Beixi's comments on their policies this year, which really benefited Yan Xiwen and others a lot.
Not long after, the concierge came to report that Mr. Fu Xiaoguan arrived with his three wives.
Except for Yan Beixi, everyone else stood up and went out to greet him - this uncle was no ordinary person. Even Yan Shidao paid great attention to him, because he knew very well how powerful this boy was and how much he held in His Majesty's heart. How important is status.
Fu Xiaoguan naturally bowed respectfully to Master Yan Yan Haochu, but he was surprised by the appearance of Yan Xiwen and Yan Linqiu.
He didn't ask, and followed Yan Haochu and others directly to the restaurant.
The banquet was ready, and Yan Beixi walked in at this time.
"For the family banquet, sit wherever you like, come, come, come. The little official will sit next to me."
Everyone sat down, and Yan Beixi’s face glowed red. He did not mention the past, but talked about the present: "I heard that you always invite the cooks from Sifanglou to entertain guests. I will also follow your example today. I learned that this is all made by the chefs of Sifanglou. It should suit your appetite. Don’t be polite. I’m hungry too. Come here, have some food and have a nice drink.”
Fu Xiaoguan was originally worried that the old man would take this opportunity to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, the old man seemed to have an idea. After running around for a day, he ate something hastily at noon. He was really hungry. , so he was not polite and moved his chopsticks.
Before taking two bites, Yan Xiwen jumped out, opened a bottle of Xishan Tianchun, and walked to Fu Xiaoguan's side.
"There's no need to say more between us. We won't go home until we get drunk tonight!"
Yan Xiaolou glared at him, and he laughed loudly, "I forgot that you have a family. Is it possible that my Xiaolou can still control you?"
