A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 652 The future of the girl's ticket and house is all in place in one step!
Wang Lidong said, "Well, I will tell him about it. I will go on a long trip after a while, maybe half a month."

Ru Lan asked, "Same as last time, going to see business in various places?"

Wang Lidong shook his head slightly and said, "This time we are going to make a big deal."

Ru Lan asked curiously, "How big is it?"

Wang Lidong whispered, "A few hundred million coins, the exact number will only be known after it passes."

In a few days, he is going to go to a small day. The Ishijian silver mine alone has hundreds of millions of reserves. In addition, the wealth accumulated by the King of Japan and the nobles must be much richer than that of the Bangzi Kingdom.

Ru Lan's eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Hundreds of millions?! What kind of business is so profitable?"

"Shh, keep your voice down." Wang Lidong looked around and found that there were no other people except rich people and magpies. "You will know when you move to my house someday."

Two red clouds flew over Ru Lan's face, and she muttered, "If you don't say it, don't say it, I don't want to hear it yet."

"Little Grandpa!" Sheng Changfeng saw Qi Heng from afar, and immediately waved his hands and shouted, quickened his pace, and arrived in front of the small pond in two or three steps, and said excitedly, "Congratulations to the little Grandpa, the champion of the high school. "

This guy is so fierce, he killed a potential butcher before he became an official, Da Song hasn't killed an important official for many years, and he can retreat with his whole body, he is really a role model for my generation!

Wang Lidong said a few words modestly, he couldn't bear Chang Feng's fiery eyes, looked at the three strange youths following Sheng Changfeng, and asked, "Chang Feng, who are these?"

Sheng Changfeng hurriedly and enthusiastically introduced the three of them. The thin-faced young man was an in-law of the Sheng family, named Li Yu, Ru Lan called him a cousin, the square-faced young man was called He Zhi, Quanzhou Tuiguan Erlang, and the other older man , named Wen Yanjing, a distant nephew of the county magistrate of Linfen County, Jinzhou in the same year of Sheng Hong's examination.

Looking at Wen Yanjing who greeted him with a smile on his honest face, it turned out that he was a master at flirting with girls, a master of soft food but hard food, and a master of pretending to be a pig and a tiger.

Sheng Hong originally wanted to betroth Mo Lan to Wen Yanjing, and he also got along with this guy, but Wen Yanjing met Ru Lan in the back garden of the Sheng family. idea.

Sheng Molan is beautiful, but she is a concubine. If she marries Molan, don't expect to get any big help from the Sheng family in the future.Ru Lan is different, the daughters of the Sheng family, even Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai don't like Ru Lan very much, but the status is there, even the dowry is much richer than Mo Lan.

As long as you marry Sheng Rulan, your sister's ticket, house, and future will all be in place in one step!
Wen Yanjing tried every means to meet Rulan several times, relying on her superb flirting skills, she coaxed Rulan into being a lord and not marrying her.

But just because of his status as a juror, and because he was Mo Lan's former blind date, even if Ru Lan was willing to marry, neither Wang nor Sheng Hong would agree to this marriage.

Coincidentally, Gu Tingye wanted to marry Sheng Minglan, but his reputation was too bad, and he had two illegitimate children, so he went directly to Sheng's mansion to propose marriage to Minglan, but the old lady Sheng would definitely not agree, so he made a detour and let the emperor marry him. The gift of marriage, pretending to marry Ru Lan, the prostitute daughter of the Sheng family.

Wen Yanjing and Gu Tingye happened to be the bastard pair of mung beans, one wanted Ru Lan and the other Sheng Minglan, they hit it off immediately, colluded and set up a game.When Wen Yanjing asked Sheng Rulan to come out for a private meeting to say goodbye, he was bumped into by Gu Tingye who had been waiting for a long time.

Afterwards, both of them achieved their respective goals and embraced the beauties, and everyone in the Sheng family was also very happy. Ru Lan finally married the person she wanted to marry, Ming Lan also found a wealthy son-in-law, and Sheng Hong got two good sons-in-law , a popular fried chicken, and a future Jinshi, the Sheng family has two more powerful supporters at once.

The only one who was not reconciled was the Wang family. Her daughter picked up Sheng Molan, the daughter of Lin Xiaoniang, the "enemy of life", and Wen Yanjing, a poor scholar who abandoned her like a shoe, was slapped loudly in the face.

Moreover, the entire Sheng family was kept in the dark from the beginning to the end.Although Rulan doesn't seem to have any intentions, she actually sees everything clearly. Minglan won't talk about it. This is a 'big smart', a veteran of Sheng Hong's officialdom. He can figure out the whole story when he sees the result. eight.

As for Sheng Changbai, this is the big pusher of the whole thing.

When Gu Tingye went to the Sheng family to propose a marriage, although he didn't say which one to marry, he made it very clear that he wanted to marry someone who was beautiful and gentle. These personalities had nothing to do with Rulan.

Sheng Changbai pretended to be stupid and pretended to be stupefied, and even deliberately helped Gu Tingye beat the side drums and said good things in front of Sheng Hong and Wang. The reason was simple. Gu Tingye was a big celebrity in front of the emperor. Will Lan be cheated miserably, hehe. Ancient women are not modern, the biggest role is to carry on the family line as a bargaining chip in marriage, besides, there are people who take over.

Seeing Qi Heng staring at Wen Yanjing in a daze, Sheng Changfeng hurriedly reminded him in a low voice, "Young master."

Wang Lidong came back to his senses, and laughed, "I seem to have met Brother Wen somewhere, but unfortunately I can't remember it no matter how I think about it."

Wen Yanjing immediately hit the snake with the stick: "In the capital's Gongyuan, my younger brother had the honor to have a face-to-face meeting with Brother Qi."

MMP, bullshit.

Based on my own memory, I will remember clearly everything that comes into my sight within a year.

But it's meaningless to expose such a trivial matter, it's just embarrassing at most.

Several people chatted for a while, under the urging of several classmates, Sheng Changfeng reluctantly waved goodbye to Wang Lidong, and did not forget to tell me before leaving, "My lord, remember to call me when you have a banquet to celebrate."

Wang Lidong smiled and said, "How could I forget you, Changfeng. I will ask you for some minor matters after a while."

Sheng Changfeng's eyes brightened, and he was busy patting Xiongfu, even if he was asked to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire.

Watching the few people go away, Wang Lidong looked at Fugui and said, "Give the things to the magpie?"

Ru Lan ran away when Sheng Changfeng appeared.

Fugui nodded, "I have already given it to the little magpie."

At the same time, Ru Lan returned to the front hall and found that the show had already ended, only Qi Xuan and his old lady were left chatting awkwardly. After saying hello, they returned to their small courtyard and entered the room. Seeing that the little magpie was holding a rectangular sandalwood box in his hand, he asked curiously, "Where did it come from? What's in it?"

The little magpie put the sandalwood box on the tea table and said, "It's from Fugui, it is said that the young man gave it to the girl."

"I won't tell you sooner." Ru Lan stretched out her hand to open the wooden box, and there were rows of round white balls neatly placed inside. She picked up a small white ball and found that it was about the same size as the 'wooden pellet' used for chuiwan. Weighed it, Wei Wei was a little heavier than 'Wooden Pill', looked it over carefully, it was round and round.

"Did Fu Gui say what this little ball is for?"

The little magpie said, "It is said that Chui Wan is used as a 'ball'."

Ru Lan stared at the little magpie, this little guy only moves when he flicks it.

Throwing the small white ball in her hand on the ground, she found that it was still a little elastic, so she hurriedly greeted the magpie, took out her chuiwan suit, and then went out of the house to a corner of the small courtyard, where she flattened out a three-dimensional ball. Four square-sized courts
At night, Sheng Hong came back from a wedding at a colleague's house. He felt exhausted from working overtime for days, so he went into Lin Xiaoniang's room.

After changing into normal clothes, he lay down on the fragrant couch, and motioned for Lin Xiaoniang to help pinch a couple of hands, loosen and relax.

Lin Xiaoniang kneaded and rubbed for a while, patted here and there 'crackling', Sheng Hong felt refreshed all over, as if she had lightened a few catties, and couldn't help moaning.
"Hong Lang, today the little father-in-law brought his uncle named Qi Xuan to the house, and Qi Xuan gave Mo'er and the others a big golden pig as a meeting gift."

Sheng Hong cleared his head, turned his body and said, "How much is a golden pig?"

Lin Xiaoniang gestured at the size of the golden pig, "It's less than a little less than three catties, and it's as heavy as the one given by the little father-in-law back then."

Sheng Hong frowned and said, "Such an honor? Did you say something?"

Lin Xiaoniang picked up Sheng Hong's arm, pressed it lightly a few times, "Say it's nothing, and come with the young master to identify the door."

Bullshit!

I've never seen anyone who goes out shopping with a few golden pigs, he must ask for such an expensive gift.

Lin Xiaoniang continued, "By the way, Qi Xuan invited the three sisters of Mo'er to participate in a polo match."

"There should be a 'Chuiwan' competition, right?"

"Hiroro also knows?"

"Everyone in the yamen is discussing this matter today. Many families received invitation posts yesterday."

"I heard from Molan that originally only the 'polo match' and 'chuiwan' match were planned to be held, but brother Heng insisted on adding them, and it would cost 10,000+ per year for this. The fifth girl is really lucky, I have pity on my family Mo'er" Speaking of this, Lin Xiaoniang couldn't help but get up.
Seeing Lin Xiaoniang crying with pear blossoms and rain, Sheng Hong couldn't help feeling distressed, he sat up and put his arms around her and said, "That's right, why are you crying?"

"It's just my mother's failure to live up to expectations, Mo'er was born in my womb.

I heard that the old lady has fallen in love with Saburo from the He family in Baishitan for the sixth girl, and the fifth girl has found a good husband who loves her so much. Poor my Mo'er has not yet found a place, and even the dowry has to be praised by herself Woohoo~~"

Sheng Hong hurriedly coaxed, "I've always kept Mo'er's lifelong event in mind. I thought I'd tell you about it when I sober up. I've already helped her find a good husband."

Lin Xiaoniang wiped the corner of her eyes and said, "Could it be the three failed candidates who borrowed from my house? Which one does Hong Lang like, Li Yu or He Zhi?"

Sheng Hong asked in surprise, "How did Shuang'er know?"

Lin Xiaoniang rolled her eyes at Sheng Hong, "Didn't you mention this to me last time, did you forget?"

Sheng Hong remembered that there was such a thing, and said with a smile, "There are three people in total, why did you just mention two?"

Lin Xiaoniang said with a look of disgust, "The one named Wen Yanjing looks older than you, Hong Lang. You won't fall in love with this Wen Yanjing, Hong Lang, will you?"

Sheng Hong was happy in his heart, but he still blamed Lin Xiaoniang on the surface. Wen Yanjing is not yet thirty, but his appearance is a bit old-fashioned. You should not only judge people by their appearance, "Wen Yanjing is the most knowledgeable of the three. Yes. This time I was a little unlucky in the exam, and I should be able to get a title on the gold list next time."

Lin Xiaoniang secretly hated, you Sheng Hong, you really want your precious daughter to marry a farmer!
After the three of them moved into the Sheng family, she asked people to inquire about their family backgrounds. Wen Yanjing was the one with the worst conditions. He had been farming for generations, with a few acres of Susukida at home, and no shops or businesses. Besides, he had several younger brothers and a Old lady, if my daughter really wants to marry, if she is not treated like an old lady, she will become a yellow-faced woman in a few years!

Sheng Hong saw that Lin Xiaoniang was silent for a long time, and asked, "Why don't you talk, is it not in your mind?"

Lin Xiaoniang smiled and shook her head and said, "What Hong Lang likes must be good, and Mo'er is Hong Lang's biological daughter, so she will definitely not harm her."

Sheng Hong was very relieved, and hugged Lin Xiaoniang tightly, as expected of her beloved woman, unlike Wang's self-righteous, who always made decisions against him JJYY!

"When is Hong Lang going to let Wen Yanjing come to propose marriage?"

Sheng Hong looked around the room, waved his hand to signal all the servants to go out, and said in a low voice, "Since you agree, then I will tell Yan Jing to ask her mother to come to the house to propose marriage as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Lin Xiaoniang asked curiously, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Sheng Hong glanced at the door, and said in a low voice, "The official's health should not be able to survive next year. After the new emperor ascends the throne, according to the usual practice, there will be another Enke. After the Chinese New Year next year, Yan Jing will be able to participate There will be an examination, and if the examination goes well, then it will be Jinshi and the rank. We don’t decide on the status now, there are so many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and there are a lot of prostitutes and concubines, how can it be my Moer’s turn."

Lin Xiaoniang was heartbroken, and asked, "If Wen Yanjing wins Jinshi, what kind of official can he get?"

Sheng Hong pondered for a moment and said, "According to Yan Jing's standard, if he performs exceptionally well, he can be in the top of the second class. The normal level is the upper middle of the second class. When the time comes, we will take care of ourselves and try to get into the sixth department to be the master. If not, we can only go outside." Let me be a county magistrate, but when the time comes, I will find a way to get around and try to arrange it near the capital, preferably in Kaifeng Mansion, so that I can take care of it if something happens, and Mo'er can come back to visit us often."

Lin Xiaoniang leaned into Sheng Hong's arms, "Hong Lang really worked so hard for me and Mo'er, Shuang'er will remember it in his heart."

A magistrate's salary is not as much as his daughter's three games of polo. With such a small amount of money, even if there is some extra money, it is enough to raise Wenyan and respect a large family.

If you stay in the capital as a petty official, it will be even worse, you can't even afford a house, you can only rent a small house to live in, and the servants don't have a place to stay, so Mo'er has to wash and cook by herself, and take care of her mother-in-law brother-in-law
When the time comes, Wei Ruixuan will stab her every day with this matter!

Time is like the fine sand at the fingertips, passing quietly inadvertently, and soon the first day of May, the most glorious festival of labor (MMP, the words of the leeks!).

Qiu Ju took a telegram and came to the little father-in-law, "My lord, the chief of staff is calling."

Wang Lidong took the telegram and read it carefully. The first to sixth guard regiments, a total of 4 Musketeers, have assembled at the Jeju Island Maritime Base, and another [-] Koryo servants have also arrived and waited for orders. .The first and second artillery regiments have not arrived yet. "

"Tell the chief of staff that I will arrive at Jeju Island with the First and Second Artillery Regiment tomorrow night." After Wang Lidong finished speaking, he turned his head to look at his cousin who was sitting aside, wiping his gun, and said, "What do you think?" It's clear, this trip to Wo country will take at least 20 days back and forth, and the first and second games of the polo league will definitely not be able to keep up."

Qi Xuan glanced at the inside of the gun barrel and found that there were still some gunpowder slag. He took the cleaning brush on the table and brushed it back and forth a few times, then wiped it with a cotton cloth. After he found it clean, he began to oil it. Stopping what you were doing, thinking for a while, seeing Sheng Minglan for a while, and not knowing how to fly again, "I will go to the capital of Japan with you, and after the battle is over, you can send a ship to take me back, and then there is no need for any silver mines." We went. In this way, we should be able to catch up in the second round, right?"

Wang Lidong said, "If it goes well, we may catch up with the first match."
