The husband's son-in-law

"However, my business went so smoothly, I still entrusted my husband's relationship." Li Zhouzhou said.

Rong Ye was stunned, because he was about to say that.Businessmen are lowly, he is used to groveling and unprincipled businessmen who are willing to do whatever they want for a small profit, if Li Zhouzhou is really a businessman, he will definitely not be as humble as he is now.

"Actually, if my husband hadn't been transferred to Zhaozhou, I might not have been so comfortable. I could do business, make my own ideas, and live with confidence." Li Zhouzhou paused, "When I was in Beijing, my family It’s not even counted as a small household.”

It's true, Gu Zhao's so-called Tanhua Lang who was in the limelight for a while, Rong Ye still has an impression of the scene that year, but he mentioned a few words when the children of the aristocratic family got together to have fun, and they were all just for fun.

Origin, etiquette, conversation, dress, residence, everything can be laughed at.

In the eyes of the fifth prince, he was nothing but an ant.

"It's useless to think too much if you can't change it. It's useless except to increase troubles and pains. Life is counted, and the speed is only up to people." Li Zhouzhou looked at Rong Ye, "If you come to Zhaozhou, you are just curious about me, actually I don't have any skills, I just sing some songs on some hills and try my best to live my life comfortably."

Rong Ye looked at Li Zhouzhou's peaceful eyebrows, this man really felt that way.

He said: "Things from Lanxiang Pavilion in Jingli were a little expensive in the eyes of the servant girls in Rong's house, but they were not unaffordable. Then one day, things from Lanxiang Pavilion appeared in Rong Liu In the mother's yard."

"First, the coconut soap that appeared in one yard, then the streamer silk that appeared in several yards, and then the canned food that all the houses had. Later, when Mrs. Rong's house interacted with the ladies of other Jingli mansions, they talked about Lanxiang Pavilion coming out again. Something new."

Li Zhouzhou glanced at Rong Ye. When Rong Ye mentioned the rest of the Rong family, he used words like outsiders, but he had nothing to say.So I was curious to hear how the Zhaozhou goods had a good reputation in Beijing. Even though I knew they were selling well, Liang Cong would ask for a lot of them every time. Why three times?

It can't really lose money.

But he had never heard what the buyers in Jingli said.

"Lanxiang Pavilion has changed so much. The best sellers are all from Zhaozhou. Everyone praises Zhaozhou products. Naturally, it is inevitable to talk about the merchants behind them. They can go all the way to Lanxiang Pavilion in Beijing. The merchants behind them Financial resources cannot be underestimated.”

Rong Ye looked over, "Boss Li's name is very easy to ask, and he is also very famous."

Fu Lang is the boss, and he is still so big.

"Those female family members in the back house don't believe it. I believe that the second prince's handwriting was transferred to Zhongzhou that day. Sun Mu gave lectures and criticized the second prince. It was your family minister who stopped him. After the second prince investigated the whole story, Move your fingers, and your husband will be able to go to Zhongzhou as he wished."

"Finally arrived in Zhaozhou, the fifth prince's handwriting. Gu Zhaoxian corrupted the fifth prince's plan to kill people with a knife. He borrowed the knife from Sun Mu to kill Prince Kang's reputation in the world's scholars. Your family has destroyed not only this time, but also The grandson of the Lin family is missing."

Li Zhouzhou was stunned, "Lin Kang'an also planned that time?"

"Yes." Rong Ye lowered his eyes, "It was my plan."

Li Zhouzhou frowned, looked at Rong Ye for a long time, and asked, "When did your brother's mole grow?"

"..." Rong Ye was stunned this time. It seemed like he was telling someone else's story, but when Li Zhouzhou asked this sentence, Rong Ye put one hand on the forearm of his right arm and held it tightly. .

His elder brother's mole is here.

"Sixteen." Rong Ye closed his eyes. Before the age of 16, all kinds of things flashed through his mind, which seemed far away from his previous life. 16 years old."

Rong Ye tried his best to keep calm, but the grip on his forearm became tighter and tighter.

"Originally I was going to take the imperial examination."

The imperial examination needs to verify the body, not only the household registration is correct, but when entering the examination room, the candidates must take off their shirts to check whether they are entrained.

Rong Ye's elder brother's mole was so bright red, it was impossible to hide it.

"I was the first to tell my mother." Rong Ye thought of all kinds of things, his eyes were full of emotions, and finally he recovered calmly. He said: "I am a useless thing. I can't take the imperial examination. The Rong family in the past was shocked. The gorgeous fourth young master has become a brother whose life is thinner than paper, if he was just born, he would be a brother, it is better to drown, so as not to hurt the family's prestige."

These words came from the mouth of a mother.Li Zhouzhou frowned even harder, he didn't understand if the family's prestige and honor could compare with the life of his own child.

Brother is not what Rong Ye wants to be.

"The Zanying family in Beijing values ​​prestige. At that time, I thought, Rong Si has been the young master of the Rong family for 16 years, and his food and clothing are infinitely dependent on the Rong family. Now it is rumored that the young master is a brother, and he must be attracted. Arranging other mansions, and even guessing how my mother concealed it back then, there are other things in it."

"So I continued to pretend to be a man, but I was no longer the showy Fourth Young Master Rong."

Before that, Rong Ye was in contact with several sons and young masters, or talked about poetry and songs, or played horses. Since then, he has closed the door to thank the guests, and the original good courtyard has also been moved to the most deserted side courtyard in the mansion.

There was no hope for the imperial examination, so Rong Ye wanted to prove himself that even if he was a brother, he would still be useful to the Rong family, and he could bring the Rong family great honor and favor, comparable to the Lin family.

Naturally, it is the work of the dragon.

The Lin family has had queens and princesses.The daughter of the Rong family married the sixth prince, so the mansion is naturally willing to get close to the sixth prince, and being the sixth prince's counselor can't prove his ability at all.

Rong Ye saw the Fifth Prince.

The subsequent strategies are known, so I won't mention them.

"It's too late when I find out that he is narrow-minded and not a gentleman who tolerates others." Rong Ye finished speaking, and then thought of something, and smiled coldly, "The sixth prince is not a wise king, and the world will be chaotic sooner or later. Waiting for the first-class auxiliary prince to enter the capital."

Li Zhouzhou heard Rong Ye's hatred, and he quickly guessed, "Your injury is because of the Sixth Prince?" He didn't say Emperor Tianshun, but used the same nickname as Rong Ye's "Sixth Prince".

"He is mediocre, timid and cowardly, unable to balance the power of the aristocratic family in Beijing, so he indulges in female sex. The third young lady of the Rong family is the queen. She is now 26 and [-]. She is only somewhat handsome, but extremely smart."

"Nothing is better than a good-looking brother with good skin and flesh, but it is extremely difficult to have children."

Rong Ye was cold when he spoke.

His own elder sister was afraid that in the next year's general election, the family would send someone into the palace and her position as queen would be shaken, so she cried to her mother, saying that the current situation is difficult, and after being a bedside couple for more than ten years, Rong Sanniang knows her husband's temperament very well.

In the past, he still showed a little bit of pretending, but now the world belongs to him, but he just wants a few beautiful women, what is this?

What Rong Sanniang was talking about was a girl who was worthy of appearance and status in the family. Instead of letting women from other families enter the harem to threaten her, it would be better to be a daughter of the Rong family, but Rong Sanniang's tone of voice was a bit sour.

She has been married to the sixth prince for many years, and they have only one son and one daughter, but this son is just like his father, with mediocre qualifications, and his father is also cold and indifferent, so it can't be said that he loves him.If the other daughters of the Rong family were favored by the Holy One and gave birth to a son, it would be a threat to her.

The Rong family tree has a big branch, Mrs. Rong is too old to give birth, and now the women that the Rong family can send into the palace are all the daughters of the other houses.After Mrs. Rong left the palace, she thought about it again and again, if it was true that the daughters of several uncles were sent to the palace to be favored, they would naturally feel uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Rong thought of the useless 'son' in a remote place.

Good-looking, not easy to have children, and getting old, she said that it would be good to choose a low-income woman to get married hastily and hide it from the past, but Rong Ye rebelled against her and insisted on not following. Marrying her also made her lose face and made excuses for her poor health.

Now if he can be sent to the palace and help his sister, it will be considered his blessing.

The more Mrs. Rong thought about it, the more she felt better, so she entered the palace again. She explained to Empress Rong, but Emperor Tianshun was surrounded by women and did not have a brother. Mrs. Rong was afraid that the emperor would not love him.

Empress Rong thinks it's good.

"When I was studying in Tianshengyuan, the Holy One even praised my younger brother's appearance. Now if I know my younger brother's identity, it will be a matter of course."

"But mother, don't be in a hurry. I'll talk about it for now."

If it wasn't Rong Ye, it would be Liu Niang, the uncle's cousin.Empress Rong had met Liu Niang before, she was extremely beautiful, and she was also young and fresh. During the banquet, Liu Niang quietly looked at her dress, her eyes were filled with envy——

At that time, Empress Rong was still aloof, and even enjoyed such gazes. When she heard the empress dowagers of the two palaces explaining that next year's general election was being given away by a family in Beijing, she remembered Liu Niang's admiration for her clothes and jewelry that day. Very ambitious.

Liu Niang also wanted to enter the palace, and also wanted to pull her down and replace her.

That's right, the same surname is Rong, who is not sitting in the queen's position?

When Empress Rong thought of this, she felt that Rong Ye was very good. He had no heirs, so what if he only had the favor of the Holy One?Can the position of Queen of the Dali be replaced by another brother?

It was almost a no-brainer.

Before empress Rong tested Emperor Tianshun's tone, she summoned her younger brother to enter the palace to have a look, and to win over her friendship, she always stood by her side when entering the palace.

But I never expected that Rong Ye entered the palace, and he knew that his family wanted to send him into the harem, so he resorted to a trick, which ruined his reputation and affected Empress Rong. Drinking and having fun.

This matter was only faintly spread in the harem, and was suppressed by the Queen Mother.

Rong Ye was also taken back to Rong's house, so he had a smoke first, and asked him how did he get the wine?Rong Ye didn't answer, but said instead: "If it's next time, it won't be wine."

"You were born to collect debts and kill me. You hate me and your third sister, don't you?" Mrs. Rong said bitterly. There was no trace of affection in her eyes for this useless son.

Rong Ye asked his mother, "Before the national filial piety, my mother discussed with my sister how to send me to the holy bed—"

Madam Rong slapped herself.

"You dare to send it away, the next time Rongfu intends to kill the king—"

"Shut up! How dare you talk nonsense!" Father Rong was also furious, "You want to take the lives of the whole family, this bastard, bring the whip, see if I don't kill this scoundrel today."

This is where the bloody back injury came from.

Rong Ye was dying, listening to his father wanting to remove him from the family tree, and he would no longer be a child of the Rong family.When he was lingering in a corner of the firewood house, all the young masters and ladies in the mansion came to see him, concubines, cousins, ridiculed and ridiculed, everyone could step on him.

The last one was a broken carriage, and one old and one young servant sent him away from Beijing.

It was all arranged by the second brother.

"Don't thank me, just treat it as a brotherhood for so many years before. It was obviously born of the same mother and compatriots. You are ahead of me in everything. Your parents love you very much. I have envied you too, but you are my mother." Brother, you said why are you so stubborn, and now Liu Niang has robbed you... that's all, the matter of the Rong Mansion has nothing to do with you."

"You go, take these two vulgar ones with you."

Rong Erlang handed 200 taels of silver to his younger brother.

The Fourth Young Master Rong, who used to be so beautiful in Beijing in the past, wore beautiful clothes and fancy clothes. The eyes and ears were sent out of the house.

Since then, Fourth Young Master Rong has 'died of illness' in Beijing.

When the carriage left Beijing, Lao Zhong asked where he was going.

The road ahead is boundless, and Rong Ye is like a rootless duckweed, with no home anymore.

"...to Zhaozhou."

Go and see the boss Fu Lang, an official wife is a businessman who does business.

When Li Zhouzhou came back from the front yard, Gu Zhao looked at it and said, "How come you were happy when you went there, but you don't have a smile on your face when you come back?"

Fu Bao won a bag of gula melaka, how stingy!Just like the two fathers, ten each, Gu Zhaoxi asked, "Li Zhaoxi, why are you so stingy, I've split my throat for cheering you on today."

"Hey, my dear father, look, these, I want to give to Ping An, and some nephews and nieces of the Chen family..." Li Zhaoxi began to distribute coconut sugar to his father.

After reading it, Gu Zhao shut his mouth immediately. What he got was just ten pieces of palm candy, and what he got was Fu Bao's love for him!

Because the coconut sugar was not enough, Li Da also said that he didn't want it, but Li Zhaoxi forced it.

Grandpa also has ten.

Naturally, sugar is not enough, Li Zhaoxi has too many friends to give away, and finally Li Zhouzhou said: "One share of coconut sugar, and coconut soap and desiccated coconut, which can be made into snacks and sent over, and if it is not good, there will be streamer silk. "

Ever since, Li Zhaoxi cheered, took the things back to his yard and started making statistics.

Gu Zhao: ...

I can't laugh or cry.Little kids are so much fun.

Later, Mr. Gu saw that his family was also sharing candy every week. It was five palm candies and some fruits in a basket, and suddenly felt bad. The ten precious palm candies, who should you give them to?Just give away half of it, such a generous offer.

He squinted his eyes halfway, it must be Rong Si in front!

Although Mr. Gu muttered and said a few sour words, he didn't stop Boss Li from sending candy.One is that the husband and wife trust each other, and the other is that Zhou Zhou socializes normally and wants to make friends, so don't stop them, otherwise it looks like a neuropathy.

Friends are spiritually able to communicate and are equal.

In Zhaozhou, Li Zhouzhou didn’t really have many friends. Many flattered and flattered him. Most of them were women from back houses. Most of the men he dealt with were business owners. They were business partners, not friends.

And Wang Jianlin's brother Yu, brother Taozi, etc., are all juniors to Li Zhouzhou, and he loves these children.

Those who can be counted as friends are Liu Shu in Beijing and Brother Xing in Fu County.

Coupled with Li Zhouzhou's kind heart, Rong Ye's body was injured in Zhaozhou, and he saw the flesh and blood dug by Qingchuang Xiaotian with his own eyes, so he was naturally more pitiful and tolerant.

"Why are you regretting that the candies have been delivered? I'll share some with you." Master Gu touched the table, there were only three candy wrappers left, and they were all stuffed into Zhou Zhou's hands, "I'm gone."

"The famous Li Zhaoxi's champion coconut sugar."

Holding the palm candy in his hand, Li Zhouzhou chuckled. He knew that Mr. Xiang must know that it wasn't because of the gift of candy.The husband and wife know each other well, but this kind of 'messing around' is useful every time.

"Rong Ye told me some things just now, Lin Kang'an got lost, and Mr. Sun gave a lecture..." He started talking one by one, and what Rong Ye said about Beijing.

Li Zhouzhou didn't play any sympathy card for Rong Ye, but just told his husband everything so that he could judge.

Whether this person stays or not.

"This guy is pretty smart." Gu Zhao said this first after listening.

Although Gu Zhao looked at 'jealous' before, his tone was also respectful. Now that he used 'this guy', he could see that he was angry after listening to it. He thought carefully and said: "The position was different before, how can he do it?" , that's his business."

"Later, I wrote a letter to explain the situation to the teacher. I can't decide this matter. The teacher should speak."

"He is now far away from home and helpless. He is really a desperate person. When I tell you this today, I don't know whether it is true or mixed with other thoughts. I want to use your kindness to make it clear first, so that we can get rid of this grudge—— —”

"If he really wants to change his mind, then he still wants to stay in Zhaozhou and the mansion." Li Zhouzhou said.

If you really don't care, why bother?

Gu Zhao thought the same, so he said: "If you want to keep him, you can stay. The broken ship still has three points of nails. He can leave Li Mansion to buy a house and live a small life. He can stay in Zhaozhou or go to other places. Cheng, we're not his parents, don't care about that."

"I want to let him decide whether to stay or not after he recovers from his injury." Li Zhouzhou also made a decision.

Gu Zhao nodded, "Success, anyway, he's in our territory now." He didn't say much about Rong Ye, he saw that Zhou Zhou was also sharing sugar.

Five candies poured out of his pocket - these were given to his father by Fubao.

Mrs. Gu has sharp eyes and can tell at a glance, "Okay, Zhou Zhou, why do you have one more here? Li Zhaoxi gave you eleven?!"

Li Zhouzhou peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed one into the husband's mouth.Gu Zhao had sugar in his mouth, and said vaguely, "An extra one is sweet."

"He thanked me for giving him a good idea. Originally, coconut sugar was not rich, but now those prizes can come in handy. Thank you." Li Zhouzhou explained.

In fact, Gu Zhao wasn't really sad, not because of a piece of candy.In addition, Fu Bao was born in the ninth month of Zhou Zhou's pregnancy - my brother was born a little earlier in the ninth month of his pregnancy.

That's why nowadays people look down on elder brothers. When a man marries a woman, it is extremely difficult to get a woman pregnant. This is the lack of children.When my brother gets married, it's not that he is pregnant in October. Everyone thinks that the child is not full-term and the body is weak and difficult to raise. Many die early, and my brother has no milk, so he has to buy milk sheep.

Later, Gu Zhao felt that his brother's child died early, and the pot couldn't be given to him. The poor family only married him. Of course, they couldn't afford milk sheep. What nutrition can you give your confinement child to drink rice soup and batter?Naturally, the body is not good.

But the pot is all because the brother is not good, and the baby born is not healthy, so the offspring are not abundant.

Anyway, brother's difficult situation is caused by this.

Gu Zhao was thinking, if in the future the Dali could bring down Fan and Anhui, where the animal husbandry industry is developed, there are a lot of cattle and sheep, and a factory will be built to make milk powder——

I started to think sideways again.

Now the two countries fight Dali, and Dali beats others.

"Zhou Zhou, you can handle Minzhang's rubber tires. I'll leave Meng Jianyun behind, and let him do all the hard work of running errands and offending people." Gu Zhao said.

Li Zhouzhou just laughed. The husband is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, saying that he is doing dirty work for Meng Jianyun, but everyone knows that Meng Jianyun is a close friend of the husband, and Meng Jianyun loves to run around instead of reading. It was sent to Meng Jianyun's heart.

"Good to remember."

Gu Zhaodang didn't see Zhou Zhou's teasing smile, so he coughed and said seriously, "I'll go to Bengu and say, first the government's carriages and vehicles should be replaced with rubber tires, and our Zhaozhou Shanglu team, as for buying and selling, come back later when you let go."

"Okay." Li Zhouzhou said yes, but he was reluctant to say it.

He doesn't worry about Rong Ye now, it's all about his husband.Knowing that Xianggong is doing this as an assignment, Xianggong has stayed in Zhaozhou for a month, and he is afraid that he will go to Wuzhou on business.

Li Zhouzhou was reluctant to give up.When Gu Zhao saw it, he walked over. He is tall now, and his body is majestic, but he is still very good at acting coquettishly, and Dapeng also has other skills in spreading his wings and acting coquettishly. He touched Zhou Zhou's hand and rubbed it slightly.

"Itches." The caressing Master Gu said.

It's just a slap in the face.

Li Zhouzhou laughed, Master Gu also laughed, and he didn't let go of his hands after laughing. The two of them didn't talk, they just sat and held hands and ate it with coconut sugar in their mouth. After a while, the taste of coconut sugar When it was gone, Gu Zhaocai said, "I always feel like I forgot something. What is it?"

"Think again? When did you have this idea?"

"I just told you about the tires." Mr. Gu began to review the few things he explained just now. After thinking about it, he didn't think about it in business, so he didn't think about it. "It shouldn't be important if you don't remember."

Then wash and go to bed early every week.

The next day Liang's mansion handed over the greeting card.Li Zhouzhou picked it up, and said to Mrs. Liang during lunch, "Madame Liang and my mother want to meet and chat with me, if Mrs. Mrs. is not in a hurry to leave, can you stay for a day or two?"

"Okay." Gu Zhao also agreed simply, "Have a banquet, and clean up the dust for Ben Gu's family."

When they arrived before, he was busy with the Cuju competition, and there was still a wounded Rong Ye in the mansion, so he just sent Butler Zhou to ask if he could help, and took some servants to clean the new mansion for the Liang family.

Now that he is free, he is leaving too, and it is just in time to arrange a reception banquet, so he and Liang Jiang can discuss things in more detail.

"Then Mr. Chen's family will also invite you," Gu Zhao said.He didn't say anything, he met Liang Jiang's mother and wife in the Cuju field last time, how to say it, they were quite upright and well-behaved.

He was afraid that Zhou Zhou would not be able to get along with these two at the welcome banquet, so he invited the female family members of the Chen family to come.

"Cuju competition, Liang—" Gu Zhao patted his forehead, "Zhou Zhou, I finally know what I forgot yesterday afternoon. It's a big or small thing. Fortunately, I remembered it."

"Turn around and entertain the Liang family with a banquet, first look at the feet of the Liang family's aunt, don't bind her feet..."
