When the three of them spoke, Wang Qing and Nizi were both quiet. Wang Qing brought the brewed tea to Uncle Jiang and Uncle Jiang. He also looked curiously at Jiang Muxi, who had not spoken since entering the door, and Shao Yunan looked at him. Looking at Jiang Muxi, he asked, "Brother Kangchen, do you agree to put Brother Xi with me?"

The smile on Jiang Kangchen's face disappeared, pursed his lips, he nodded, and said with a strong reluctance: "He has no children of his age at home, and I am busy with business now." After a moment of silence, " The capital is too 'noisy', maybe with you, he can really be better, with you and Kang Ning here, I can rest assured."

In his heart, Jiang Kangchen is also full of hope that Shao Yunan can keep his son safe. For the sake of his son, he can endure all kinds of hardships and be willing to do anything, not to mention just sending his son to his uncle.

Shao Yunan beckoned Wang Qing and Nizi to come over, and the two children immediately came to the little father. Shao Yunan introduced: "Brother Qing, Nizi, this is your uncle Jiang's son. His name is Jiang Moxi. He is eight years old and will live in our house from now on. You are called Big Brother."

The two children said in unison, "Big brother!"

Jiang Moxi didn't respond, just stared at the wooden toy in his hand.

Shao Yunan went on to say: "Big brother doesn't like to talk. You talk to big brother more when you are free. Big brother is not ignoring you. Big brother's soul is trapped. He can hear you talking to him, but he can't respond to you."

The two children nodded in unison. Under the education and influence of their little father, they were not ignorant Haizi who didn't know anything before. Naturally, they could see that this little brother seemed to be sick. Wang Qing and Nizi have only Wang Zaizheng's memory of their brother, and now there will be an extra little brother in the family, and they are also looking forward to it.

Jiang Kangchen's eyes reddened for a moment, and his voice became a little hoarse: "Yun An, Brother Xi will trouble you." He touched Wang Qing and Nizi's heads, "I also trouble you to take care of my brother, don't blame him for not being able to. Talk to you. He's not well."

Wang Qing: "Uncle Jiang, Nizi and I will take good care of eldest brother. Don't worry."

Nizi: "I will play with my eldest brother. I will play the piano for my eldest brother every day in the future."

"Okay, okay, thank you." Jiang Kangchen choked up, his ex-husband and children were pains that could never be healed in his heart.

Seeing this, Shao Yunan hurriedly adjusted the atmosphere: "Brother Kangchen, when you return to Beijing, let Brother Xi and Brother Qing live in a block."

"Okay."

Wang Shijing came back, with Guo Ziyu and Guo Zimu behind him, the noodles were cooked, Wang Shijing came in and said, "Brother Kangchen, eldest brother, I have already settled the people you brought, and the noodles have been delivered."

Jiang Kangchen: "Excuse me. They can eat and drink here themselves, so you don't need to greet them."

Jiang Kangning also said: "They are the slaves of the Jiang family, and they don't need to treat each other as guests. Ishii, Yun An, you are also considered wealthy people now, and the rules that should be taught should still be taught."

As soon as Guo Ziyu heard it, he said, "Yun'an, Shijing, leave it to me and Zishou."

Jiang Kangning said, "If Ziyu wants to stay, then it's better to be a housekeeper." He looked at Wang Shi and Shao Yunan, "It's time to add some people to the house. With your current status, you can't always find people from the village. Help, the domestic servants, servants, maids, Qing Ge'er's book boy, Nizi's maid have to be prepared, and the nursing home in this house, also need to be prepared early. It is best for these people to buy signatures It's dead. Yun An, you are Ishii's 'wife', you have to learn to manage the house, learn to pick people, you should learn more from my elder brother, and Nizi should teach her early, although you live in In the village, but you can’t always think of yourself as a villager.”

Wang Shijing immediately said, "What the eldest brother said is that I also plan to go to the county to buy some people after the year. The house is big and there are really not enough staff."

Jiang Kangchen said, "Nizi is a daughter, and I have to learn the etiquette of a daughter. After I return to Beijing, I will look for Mrs. An to see if I can find a nanny from the palace to teach Nizi."

Shao Yunan said in his heart, "Will it be too high-end? Nizi and Mrs. Cen learned the piano, and they also learned these."

Jiang Kangchen said: "It's better to ask a special teacher to teach you. The two of you are not just tea merchants and wine merchants. They will definitely go to Beijing in the future. There are many rules in the capital. You have learned the rules early, and you won’t lose a share in front of this young master and young lady when you arrive in the capital, you will never let Qing Ge’er and Nizi stay in Xiushui Village and Yongxiu County for the rest of their lives.”

This ancient time has ancient attention, and even in modern times, there are ladies and young masters from rich families. Shao Yunan knows that the two are for their own good. In this regard, he listened to Jiang Kangchen and Jiang Kangning. Nod, he said: "These are Brother Jing and I don't understand, I listened to the two brothers." He looked at Guo Ziyu, "If Brother Guo doesn't dislike it, he will be the housekeeper first."

How could Guo Ziyu dislike it, and immediately said, "This is my blessing."

Wang Shijing said, "Let's eat first."

Guo Ziyu and Guo Zi were taken out, Qing Ge'er and Nizi should also go to bed, Wang Shijing told them to go back to the house to sleep first.

Jiang Kangchen put his son down and took him to dinner. Jiang Kangning got up and said to Shao Yunan, "The status of Guo's brothers has changed to slave status. After you signed a deed of prostitution with him, you settled down in the household registration department and waited for him. If the two of them are transferred or good people, they can settle in Xiushui Village, but they cannot become good people within three years after they are converted into slaves."

"It shouldn't matter. They don't want to go back any more. Big brother is bothered."

"This was done by Mr. Cen's students. I didn't do anything. Before I came, Mr. Cen gave me the slave identity documents of the two of them. After you signed the deed of prostitution with them, give it to me. I asked the people from the household registration department to settle the two of them, and after the settlement, you will give it to Li Zheng to keep a record with him."

"Okay."

Wang Shijing sat down and asked, "Is the bully still there?"

Jiang Kangning said: "It seems to be dead. It seems that he provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked and was beaten to death in the street. The Rong Zhifu was implicated in this and was demoted. I don't know where he went to be the county magistrate."

Shao Yunan immediately said: "Evil will be rewarded, die well."

Jiang Kangning said: "When the emperor has money, those corrupt officials should be careful."

Shao Yun'an said: "Don't talk about it, eat, you can rest early after eating."

After that, no one spoke. Jiang Moxi could eat by himself. Jiang Kangchen didn't need to take special care of him after he had prepared his meals. Jiang Kangning was really hungry. Although the food was gentle, it was a big mouthful. He especially likes the tea eggs and Korean spicy cabbage made by Shao Yunan, as does Jiang Kangchen. Jiang Moxi held the wooden toy in his left hand and kept it, while holding the chopsticks in his right hand, he continued to eat one bite at a time.

After eating a large bowl of noodles, Jiang Kangning said, "This spicy cabbage is delicious. I'll take some away when the office opens."

"I've marinated it in a big jar, so I know you guys like it. Brother Kang Chen also brings some back. I'll give you the recipe. You can decide whether to make it and give it to others or sell it."

"Okay."

Jiang Kangchen also ate a lot—a big bowl of rice, Guo Ziyu cut five tea eggs and ate them all, as well as the spicy cabbage, but Jiang Kangchen, who was full, did not take his son back to the room to rest immediately, but let Shao Yunan Go to his side with Wang Shijing, he has something to say.

The big four and the small five went to the guest room where Jiang Kangchen lived. Jiang Kangchen opened the slightly smaller wooden box he brought, and Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing were immediately stunned. Shao Yunan only felt the light shining in front of him.

Jiang Kangchen said to Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing: "I have sold all the tea, wine, chrysanthemum tea, and golden silk chrysanthemum I brought back from you. According to the 30% bonus plus your cost, a total of 39,800 taels. Here There are 3,500 taels of gold and 4,800 taels of silver. The jewels and jade items were given by the queen, and there are a few pieces of silk and satin. I will ask the servant to give them to you tomorrow. The reward should have been decreed, but the queen does not want too many people to pay attention. To the two of you, so let me bring it in private, this is the ledger."

Jiang Kangchen said and handed the top ledger to Shao Yunan: "The emperor and the queen hope that the two of you can make more tea and brew more wine in the coming year. The special tea is 3,000 taels of silver a pound, and the tea is waiting for you. 2000 taels of silver and a pound of people in the capital are still eager for it, not to mention the cheaper second- and third-class teas. People buy 20 taels of golden silk imperial chrysanthemum. The emperor and the queen never thought it would be like this. , the emperor is in a hurry."

Shao Yunan, whose heart was pounding, nodded. The gold and silver in the box were both big in size, making him a modern man a little dizzy.

"There will be more this year. I also found that there is a kind of black tea here, which tastes better. I will only wait for the picking before Qingming and Grain Rain. This year, I will focus all my energy on brewing and tea making, and the quality will be better than before. Even if someone else learns the skills of making tea and wine in the future, our tea and wine are the best of the best, and we are not afraid of not being able to sell the price."

Jiang Kangchen: "The emperor and the queen mean to sell it again - what kind of tea exchange meeting will be held in the next year, the emperor does not want to spread the new tea-making skills too early, the emperor of the brewing recipe asks you to hide it first. ."

"Yes. This will also attract more people's appetite. The recipes for brewing are all here, and others can't steal it." Shao Yun pointed to his head.

Shao Yunan took the ledger and didn't turn it over, but he handed it back to Jiang Kangchen and said, "Brother Kangchen, you don't have to show me the ledger in the future. It is our blessing that Brother Jing and I can do something for the emperor and the queen. It really doesn't matter if the money is more or less."

Next, Shao Yunan took out 48 ingots of 4800 taels of silver in pieces, and then took out ten Dadong pearls, a string of red coral and a pair of top-quality mutton jade bracelets that the queen had bestowed with both hands, and then put the The lid of the box was closed, and he said to Jiang Kangchen, "I will donate this 3,500 gold to General Dai on behalf of Brother Jing."

"Yun'an?!" Jiang Kangning exclaimed, Jiang Kangchen opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and Wang Shijing was stunned.

Shao Yunan took Wang Shijing's hand, turned his head and smiled at Wang Shijing, then said to Jiang Kangning and Jiang Kangchen: "Brother Jing has been in the army for three years and served under the command of the junior general. He loves soldiers like sons, but the imperial court can’t get the army’s pay, so the small general Dai divided his army’s pay to the soldiers, and even took the soldiers to find a way to get the army’s pay. Although Brother Jing has retired, he has been thinking about this all the time. The court has no money now. , Soldiers' salaries are not something that can be solved in a short time. This 3500 gold is divided as military salaries and everyone can't get much, but this is Brother Jing's heart, and it is also Brother Jing's concern. Still at the border, the money will be used to buy some delicious food, some meat, and some cotton-padded jackets to keep out the cold for General Dai and the soldiers at the border.

Wang Shijing pulled out his held hand and hugged his daughter-in-law tightly. Jiang Kangning and Jiang Kangchen were both moved. Shao Yunan went on to say: "The country must take from the people and use it for the people. We ordinary people who earn money with the support of the state should also repay the country. All I can do is a little bit. Buying and selling, the soldiers at the border are the guarantee of the tranquility of our country and the peaceful residence of the people.”

Jiang Kangning was very moved: "Yun An, Ishii, you two are righteous!"

Jiang Kangchen followed up and said, "This time, all the dividends I have won will be donated to the soldiers at the border!"

Shao Yunan hurriedly said: "Brother Kang Chen, don't do this. Brother Jing and I are in this Xiushui Village, and there are not many places to spend money. Unlike you, you need money everywhere in the capital. Big brother also needs money here. Big brother is an honest official. I will definitely not be embezzled and take bribes. Big Brother Kangchen also needs to save some more silver taels for Big Brother. If Big Brother Kangchen really wants to do this, it is better for you to discuss with the Queen after returning to Beijing - let's take a share of all our business dividends every year - These came out to set up a 'relief fund' managed by the queen.

This fund can also absorb donations from others. These funds can be used to rescue orphans, help disabled soldiers, and care for the families of soldiers who died. It is used to help people in need. This is more standardized than our own private donations. The second donation was mainly because of Brother Jing's concern, and also because Dai Xiaojun was kind to Jing Brother, which was regarded as Jing's repayment to Dai Xiaojun. "

"It's so good!" Jiang Kangning said immediately: "We can't donate all the money to General Dai. We don't know who will benefit from donating it as a private person. This 'relief fund' is directly managed by the Queen. , to avoid the military department and the household department, in order to really use it on those who need it most, I think this proposal from Yun An is very good!"

Jiang Kangchen nodded: "Okay. Then, Kang Ning, write a book, and I will give it to the Queen after returning to Beijing."

"No, eldest brother, you have to write this book." Jiang Kangning said: "After all, I am an official of the imperial court.

Shao Yunan also said: "Brother Kang Chen is the most suitable proposal for the queen. If the elder brother goes over the emperor to find the queen, I am afraid that he will gossip to others."

Jiang Kangchen's heart suddenly burst with pride: "Okay! I'll write it!"

Jiang Kangning lightly tapped Shao Yunan's head: "Why do you have so many good ideas here?"

"Because I have a big brother as my backing, I can think unscrupulously."

"Ha ha…"

Jiang Kangchen looked at Shao Yunan, and there was a lot of hope in his heart. What surprises will this little brother, who is full of mystery, bring him and Kang Ning in the future? Jiang Kangchen is looking forward to it.

Jiang Kangchen accepted the donations from Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing. When he returned to Beijing, he would hand over the 3,500 taels of gold together with the 'relief fund' to the queen for decision. During this period, he wanted to discuss this 'fund' with Shao Yunan in detail. - Fan, after all, this "fund" is unheard of.

===================================================== ============================== Donated 3,500 taels of gold, equivalent to 35,000 taels of silver, Shao Yunan didn't feel bad at all, Wang Shijing was very silent on the way back. When the two entered the house, Shao Yunan turned around and said, "Brother Jing, are you distressed?"

Wang Shijing hugged Shao Yunan: "Daughter-in-law, thank you." He never thought that Shao Yunan would do this. It was more than 30,000 taels of silver, not 300 taels!

Shao Yunan wrapped his arms around Wang Shijing's waist: "The generals of that generation are all good. After you were injured, he let you back. Are you grateful to him?"

"Um!"

"That little general is not greedy for merit, he is good to you soldiers, and he will find money for you. Now that you have money, you should do what you can. I know you will not feel bad, so I will replace it. You have made a decision, I wanted to give you a surprise without discussing it with you, and I didn’t expect to have so much money, don’t worry, it will not be a problem for our family to earn 10,000 silver in the future.”

"You are in charge, we are in charge of everything in our family, daughter-in-law, the soldiers at the border are really hard, they don't have enough to eat, they don't wear warm clothes, and they always worry about their lives. Just a few more pieces of meat, these more than 3,000 taels of gold can buy a lot of cotton coats and quilts, a lot of pigs and sheep, and a lot of food and grass. If the soldiers can eat enough and eat well, they can kill more enemies and survive. Opportunity."

Shao Yunan stroked Wang Shijing's tense back: "With the money in the imperial court, the living conditions of the soldiers will gradually improve. In the future, we can still donate money and goods to General Dai in the name of private individuals. If you donate it to the little general, you have nothing to say about it. In the future, our family will earn more money. Not only can we donate money to the deputy general, but we can also donate money to the 'relief fund'. Our family has a simple population and a large number of people. Doing some charity is a good thing for our family to accumulate virtue and good fortune. When Qinggeer and Nizi grow up, we will also teach them to give back to the society and the country. I am willing to donate money to go out. In addition, I want to find a guarantee for our family. We I don't want to have any relationship with the General Dai family, but if there is anything in our family in the future, I will not ignore us because of the character of General Dai, right?"

"Listen to my daughter-in-law."

In ancient society, of course, the more thick thighs that can be hugged, the better, Thaksin is just a small peasant family, and Shao Yunan himself is a modern person. Have to plan ahead and find a few thick thighs to hug.

Wang Shijing bent down and hugged his daughter-in-law horizontally and walked towards the big bed. Shao Yunan looked at Wang Shijing with a smile, and lightly touched his left eye: "Don't stay in bed tomorrow."

Putting Shao Yunan on the bed, Wang Shijing covered him: "I'll just kiss and don't do it."

"I do not believe."

"real."

"Cheat..."

The clothes fell one by one on the blanket beside the bed. Whenever Wang Shijing expressed his inner excitement, he liked to take off his daughter-in-law's clothes. He was really lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law.
