After returning to the small courtyard of Jinjiacun, Wang Kuan came over.
"Girl, I have already asked today. Xu Neng is the better craftsman in the neighboring villages. However, he has too many jobs and will have to wait until the next year to be free. There is also one named Zhang Chao, who is here now. Neng Neng is available, but his craftsmanship is average and the price is slightly lower than Xu Neng."
Su Yu is now anxious to build a workshop and an egg-hatching house, and these two places do not require any skills.
"I have two drawings here. Take them over and show them to Zhang Chao. If you can do it, ask him to bring people over tomorrow and build it on the two acres of land to the east. I'll wait for emergency use here and ask him to find more people. ,money is not a problem."
Wang Kuan took the drawings with both hands, bowed and stepped back. He knew the two acres of land to the east. It would be appropriate to use the two acres of land to build a house when he was alone. Looking at the drawings in his hand, Wang Kuan I don't understand. These two rooms don't seem to be used for living.
Here in Jinjia Village, Su Yu was so busy that he couldn't even touch the ground. In Kyoto City, this morning, the emperor personally appointed Yu Zheng as a lecturer. Yu Zheng suddenly went from a seventh-grade editor to a fifth-grade editor. Lecturer.
"Your Majesty, I have done nothing to serve you. I am well-deserved for my position as a lecturer. Please take back your order."
Seeing Yu Huai stand up, many courtiers immediately stood up to object. This can be said to have set a precedent in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If it was their own descendants, forget it, why was he Yu Huai's son.
Seeing Yu Huai's reaction, Emperor Anqing knew that Yu Zheng had not told Yu Huai, and was a little satisfied with Yu Zheng.
The old god, Minister of the Ministry of War, stood in his position and looked at his nose and heart. No one knew better than him what kind of contribution the boy of the Yu family had made. The emperor promoted him to a bachelor's degree, but he felt that the promotion was too low. .
"My decision has been made. My dear friends, there is no need to say more."
After the emperor finished speaking, Eunuch Mao took a step forward.
"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."
The emperor's attitude was so resolute. What else could the courtiers say? Of course, they said nothing.
When he came out of the palace, Yu Huai was worried and not at all happy that his son had been promoted. All the adults who passed by him congratulated him.
"Congratulations, Master Yu."
"congratulations."
"Master Yu is very righteous."
Yu Huai responded with a smile when someone who was very eloquent said compliments about their righteousness. When someone asked when they would go to the house for a drink, Yu Huai just pretended not to understand.
Sitting on the carriage back home, Yu Huai unconsciously thought of the past.
His parents passed away when he was a teenager. He was able to persist in studying for two more years after his parents died. One of them relied on the money left by his parents, and the other was the support of the villagers. The villagers did not do anything else but I think he is very knowledgeable and will definitely have a great future.
The turning point came when he attended a banquet hosted by a wealthy businessman in the town and was spotted by Mei's father, who he eventually married. Mei is a virtuous person. Although she is the daughter of a merchant, she has been raised according to the standards of a lady since she was a child. She can play a few words in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
After marrying into the family, Mrs. Mei puts him first in everything, and if the people in the village have anything, Mrs. Mei will do her best to help. Normally, he should have nothing to worry about in the days after marriage. Mei's maiden family is Xingyang The wealthy businessmen in the area didn't need him to worry about money at all, and Mei had everything covered in terms of life, but he always felt a little unhappy.
It wasn't until she entered Beijing that she passed the imperial examination and met Ms. Zhang at a banquet attended by colleagues. At that time, Ms. Zhang was still a little concubine in Zhang's family, but her talent had long been known in Kyoto and she was known as a talented woman. At that time, he thought in his heart that this was his ideal wife. He always met Zhang at several banquets, and the two of them secretly became good friends.
Later, when he proposed to Mrs. Mei that she wanted to take Mrs. Zhang as his concubine, Mrs. Mei just lowered her head and thought about it before agreeing. At that time, he already had two concubines in his house. Mrs. Mei had always been generous and never cared about it. However, everything seemed to have changed after Mrs. Zhang came into the family. Mrs. Mei became depressed. Within half a year, He fell ill, and then he couldn't get sick again, but he passed away within a year.
He complained in his heart that Mrs. Mei was not generous enough to tolerate even Mrs. Zhang. He just wanted to be with Mr. Zhang, and the position of his head wife still belonged to her. Later, he straightened Zhang up and when Zhang proposed to send his eldest son back to his hometown, he agreed as soon as he thought about it. He really didn't want to see his eyes full of resentment every time he saw his eldest son.
He didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, but now that his son had been promoted, he felt inexplicably panicked.
"Master, we're here."
The carriage stopped and the servant's voice came from outside, which brought Yu Huai back from his thoughts.
As Yu Huai returned to his home, the news that Yu Zheng was promoted to a bachelor's degree spread in the mansion. The emperor's move undoubtedly dropped a bomb in the Yu Mansion. The entire Yu Mansion, from the master to the servants, No one is happy, the master is really unhappy, and the servants all act based on the master's face.
Zhang was filled with jealousy, why did the emperor promote that little beast just a few days after he took office.
"Madam, you can't have your cake and eat it too, it's time to make a decision."
Mrs. Zhang was torn between earning one hundred thousand taels of silver a year and having Yu Zheng. As soon as Mrs. Mei died, she wanted to solve the problem. But at that time, Mrs. Mei’s natal brother came to attend the funeral and said that as long as Yu Zheng was Still, they send one hundred thousand taels of silver every year. If Yu Zheng is gone, the one hundred thousand taels of silver will be gone every year.
When Mrs. Mei married the old man, I don’t know if the Mei family was on guard against this. The dowry given to Mrs. Mei was not much, and the total amount was probably only about ten thousand taels. She would have spent it when she entered the house. Almost enough, and she was just a little concubine in the family. There were many concubine sisters in the family, and the dowry was only two thousand taels. At that time, the Yu family was very stretched. Leng Hehe heard that he had one hundred thousand taels of silver every year. She agreed without any hesitation, and the Mei family did send people to send one hundred thousand taels of silver every year in recent years. This is why she only sent people to monitor Yu Zheng and did not kill him. .
But things are different now. In the past few years, with the one hundred thousand taels per year, she also opened a few shops, and Zhuangzi also bought two or three more. The family has not had no income in these years. If he allowed that little beast to continue, when his wings hardened, mother and son might all fall into his hands.
"Mommy, let the people from Yiheyuan take action and sweep the tail clean so that the master doesn't find anything."
"Madam, don't worry, I always do things safely, and I will definitely handle this matter well."
