Chapter 128 Skillful Tongue
Mu Yan is living very comfortably these days.
Since he had a fit that day and dismissed the chief steward's family, his mother also cheered up and cleaned up all the personnel and affairs in the mansion.
The people who paddled and fished have been beaten a lot, and everything is in order. Now the mansion finally looks like it.
When he wanted to order something, he didn't even need to open his mouth, and the servants got it done with a wink.
Money is no longer tight.
Not only did his own mother send a large sum of money in person, but the accountant's steward also came in person, with a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, saying that since the account of Zhuangzi's shop was returned to the mansion, the money in the treasury has suddenly filled up, and asked him Are there any flowers for it?
This feeling, um, is like eating a big bowl of sorbet on a hot day.
Mu Yanzheng was shaking his legs in self-satisfaction, and Li Yi came to report: "Master, Gan San said that Mrs. Huo has been selling goods at Mochou Lake these two days."
"Sell goods?"
"Yes. It is said that the Huo family came back from Huai'an and brought back a lot of goods from the north."
"It's been a few days since you've been back, and you just started selling?"
"I was fishing and selling fish a few days ago."
Mu Yan was taken aback for a moment, he was not selling fish, he had bumped into him that morning.
The little liar talked all the way, saying that taking advantage of the low catch and high price, he would be able to sell more money. I don't know if it's not what she wants in the end.
Hmph, little liar, you know money in your eyes.
"Come on, let's take a look."
"yes."
The two master and servant walked out of the study, Mu Yan stopped in his tracks again, the little liar came back, it was a bit redundant for Gan San to guard Qionghua Lane.
"Let Gansan go to the southwest."
"Southwest?"
"Well. Didn't Muren go back to the southwest? He's not the only one who will sue."
The young master sued him first.
"Let Gan San go to get money from Lord Hou. It is said that the capital has to manage everywhere, and it is difficult to support it."
"Will... Lord Hou give it to you? Didn't we just take back the property of the capital?"
The corner of Mu Yan's mouth twitched into a sneer: "If he doesn't give it, just say that I want the Jade Mountain in the Jun's room with the eighteen sceneries of Jinling carved on it, and I am going to dedicate it to the queen. If not, I will release it to the palace. The wind is blowing."
It's going to be a chicken-and-egg fight, so don't blame him.
Hiss, isn't the young master's move too ruthless?
The Jade Mountain was dedicated to the Mu family in Yunnan by the neighboring country of Hongshawadi. Back then, Lord Hou missed his hometown, so he ordered people to carve the eighteen sceneries of Jinling on it, which took several years to get it.
When the old Hou Ye was alive, he often admired Yushan and couldn't put it down.
After the old Hou Ye passed away, the Jade Mountain was taken into the treasury by the previous Hou Ye. Unexpectedly, Jun Shi, the concubine of Lord Hou, took a fancy to her again and moved into her room.
Back then, the young master wanted it, but Hou Ye reprimanded the young master, saying that he was young and frivolous, and he was afraid of changing his temperament.
The young master never dared to take a second look.
Never thought that Master Hou moved it into Jun's room because of Jun's words of liking.
Li Yi felt sorry for the young master.
"Then we have to ask Lord Hou for more money this time. The middle prize over there is in the hands of that woman from the Jun family, and we will let her bleed hard this time."
Mu Yan nodded.
He still has something to settle with the Jun family. This is where it is.
How can it be so easy to get what I like.
Soon he took Li Yikan and Er out of the house.
By Mochou Lake, the Yang family was eloquent, introducing their products to the crowd who came to watch the excitement. Yang Fu and Huo Xi were not idle, looking at the stall while soliciting business.
"Look at this sackcloth, it is light and tough, it can be washed, sun-dried, and rot-resistant, and it can be worn!"
"Oh, the Ge Ma in Jiangnan is sold for 10 cents and 80 cents in the shop! This is a good hemp that came all the way from Huizhou in the south. It has been changing cars and boats all the way, and it has been floating on the water for so long. , we just arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. Look at such fine linen, where can you find it?"
After hearing this, several women touched the fabric with their hands for a long time, reluctant to let go, and felt sorry for the money.
"You can make it shorter, and I'll ask you for a few more horses." "That's right. If it's good, we'll come back next time and help you bring more guests."
"Oh, I don't have to worry about selling this linen." Yang pretended to be careless.
"Your big car, I'm afraid you still have a lot of savings at home. Wouldn't it be better to sell it early and get the money in your hands? You don't need to push this cart to sell goods every day."
"Hey, I told you that I won't worry about selling it. It's true. I'm not lying to you."
After Yang finished speaking, she looked around, leaned over to a few women, and whispered: "You know that we will hold a post-sealing ceremony in Beijing soon, right?"
Seeing a few women nodding, they said again: "I heard that there is a word from the palace that they want to have fun with the people!"
Have fun with the people?
Yang nodded: "I heard that there will be no curfew at night! The folks will not only celebrate with the palace, but may also hold various activities!"
Seeing that a bunch of people gathered around were stunned, Mrs. Yang was very proud.
said again: "Think about it, His Majesty the Emperor organizes such an important celebration, don't you want to see the common people well fed and well dressed, with brand-new clothes on their bodies, so that people can look like a prosperous and peaceful world?"
Everyone nodded in a daze.
Mr. Yang was a little proud: "So, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell these cloths?"
"You haven't visited the silk and satin factories in this period of time, have you? I heard that the fabrics inside are all sold out, and the big family is transporting fabrics home by cart after cart, and asking people to make clothes. In two days, I will fabric..."
Mr. Yang put his hand on the linen and patted it: "Even if it sells for two yuan, someone will grab it!"
The onlookers were silent for a while, then came to their senses, and started to attack the linen one after another: "I want two horses!"
"I want three horses!"
"Don't grab it, I want five! I want more, get me first!" A cloth adult can at most wear two clothes. This family, young and old, shouldn't you buy a few more?
"Bring me six!"
The crowd rushed in like water, squeezing the little Huo Xi aside in an instant.
She was dumbfounded.
She's good at it!
She was just comforting her mother, saying that the fabric would not worry about selling, and telling her about the upcoming Queen's Clothing Ceremony, her mother learned how to use it well, and she is very proficient in using it! This is a proper material for doing business.
Absolutely, Yang Chunying.
"Xi'er, Fu'er, hurry up and help!"
These two unlucky kids, why are they standing aside in a daze? It made her sweat all over.
"Oh, come, come, come!" Huo Xi and Yang Fu came back to their senses and rushed forward.
"Auntie, do you want five horses?"
"This beautiful aunt wants six horses? All right."
"Yes, yes! Don't worry, we still have cloth at home. Don't worry."
"Uncle, quickly hire someone to move the goods!"
"Hey!" Yang Fu ran to Qionghua Lane without hesitation!
Sure enough, Xier took the long-term view and rented the house in Qionghua Lane. No, replenishment is very fast. If this is rented to another place, if he goes there, won't all the guests run away? Who waits patiently for you.
The bustle of Huo's stall attracted many people, and also attracted the attention of an old woman.
Huo Xi is immersed in selling goods, unaware that the danger is approaching.
Yesterday, a book friend explained whether Chao Yi's concubine can be a wife. Whether the concubine can be righted is slightly different in each dynasty.
For example, in the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was explicitly prohibited, "Those who take their wives as concubines and maidservants as concubines will be imprisoned for two years. Those who take concubines and Hakka women as wives and their maidservants as concubines will be imprisoned for one and a half years. Each should return to justice." Ming Dynasty , when the Taizu just established the dynasty, it was also explicitly prohibited when formulating laws and rituals.
However, the law of the Ming Dynasty has been revised continuously, and a "wife is present" is added as a premise: "Anyone who takes his wife as a concubine will be punished with one hundred sticks. If the wife is alive, those who take concubines as wives will be given ninety sticks and corrected." When the wife dies, or It is okay to give up.
But it is almost impossible for the wife of the concubine Fuzheng to obtain a gift from her husband. But if the son is promising, he can ask for a title for his biological mother. Isn't there a phrase called "Mother is more expensive than child"?
In this article, although Mrs. Wu has been righted, she has no orders. But if her son becomes a noble, he can get a royal title.
Welcome everyone to leave a message to discuss and exchange, and learn and progress together. But don't be too particular, this is Wei Dynasty. ahaha~
