Chapter 884

In Jiangnan in May, there is always light rain. When the rain started, there was still some white light on the sky, and there were large swaths of clouds that were blown westward by the wind.

Standing in front of the window, Qiu said: "Jiangnan is not good at this point, it always rains." Especially in the rainy season, sometimes the humidity is very heavy for half a month, and it returns to cháo in March and April. Qiu Shi was really not used to it at that time.

Mother Li said with a smile: "It rains a little too much, but this place is better than Haocheng. The old lady came here, and she didn't cough anymore when she was in the spring." Last winter, Qiu lived in the hot spring village for nearly two The moon is as warm as spring even in the severe winter.

Qiu Shi hummed and said: "Yu Xi has always said that Jiangnan raises people, and she was dubious before, but now it seems that it is true." Qiu Shi can raise so well, because the pleasant climate in Jiangnan is good for people to recuperate On the other hand, Qiu's heart was relieved because of his son's presence. Although Han Jianye is still in Yunnan, Han Jianming is his reassurance.

Mama Li's wrinkled face was now full of smiles: "The princess and the master are all filial children, this is the blessing of the old lady." Mama Li is old, and she should have taken care of her for the rest of her life. It's just that Qiu is used to her being by her side, and Li's mother is also in good health, so she still stays by her side. Now Li's mother doesn't have to do errands, she just talks and chats with Qiu Shi.

When Qiu heard this, she thought of someone: "Speaking of which, we have been away from the capital for more than ten years, and I don't know how Yuru is doing in the capital?" mother.

Mother Li shook her head and said: "This old slave doesn't know anymore." She really doesn't know much about the affairs in the capital.

The Qiu family has only been in Jiangnan for more than a year, but Han Jianming is famous for serving his mother. When Qiu was sick, she took good care of her at the bedside, and gave a lot of porridge and rice to the poor, sick, widowed and widowed to accumulate blessings for Qiu; on weekdays, she would accompany Qiu to offer incense, as long as there was no urgent matter to deal with in the mansion, she would definitely do it. Accompany Qiushi to dine. Now, there is no one in Jiangnan who does not know that Han Jianming is a dutiful son. Of course, some people think that he is trying to gain fame, while others think that he is doing it for Yuxi to see. No matter what others say, anyway, Qiu's more than a year in Jiangnan is comfortable and at ease, and his health is much better than before.

Han Jianming didn't go out to deal with things in the mansion that day, so he naturally came over for lunch at noon.

Qiu Shi asked him about Yuru: "Ming'er, we have been away from the capital for more than ten years. I don't know how Yuru is doing?" Her life is much better than in the capital.

Han Jianming was silent for a while and said, "Mother, Yuru died of illness ten years ago." It's better to say that they were implicated than the one who died of illness.

Not long after Han Jianming fled to Haocheng, Zeng Kezhou sent Yuru to a nunnery. Generally, those who are sent to nunneries are women who have made big mistakes, and the nuns in those nunneries are not good people. If the family has money to send to life every month, they can live easily, but if they don't have money, they will work hard. Yuru was pampered and brought up. After she got married, she was not tortured because of her natal family as a backer, and her life was very easy. When I suddenly fell into such a situation, I couldn't accept it not only physically, but also mentally, and I left within three years.

The Qiu family recited Amitabha: "The elder son-in-law will marry again? How is the temperament of the married woman, and how will she treat the two children? Okay?" Yuru gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Zeng family.

Han Jianming didn't hide it from Qiu Shi, and said, "My eldest nephew had an accident a few years ago, so he's gone. But my niece is already engaged." How could Han Jianming be so well informed? The family remarried for Zeng Kezhou. He didn't inquire about the temperament of the stepwife, but the eldest nephew had an accident when the stepwife gave birth to his son, it couldn't be a coincidence.

When Qiu heard this,

Weeping sadly: "Miserable child. It's because we were not in the capital, and the Zeng family tried their best to abuse Yuru when they saw that Yuru was unsupported." So, whether this woman is doing well or not depends on the support of her natal family.

Han Jianming disagreed with Qiu's statement. Yuxi also did not have the support of her natal family when she married Yunqing back then, but now she is doing well, and their natal family still have to rely on Yuxi! The Zeng family certainly hates Yuru's miserable ending, but the main reason is her own incompetence. However, Han Jianming did not say these words.

After receiving such bad news, Qiu was in a bad mood and didn't eat much at noon. Under Han Jianming's persuasion, he only used half a bowl of rice and half a bowl of porridge. After eating, I went to the Buddhist hall to chant scriptures for Yuru and her son.

When Han Jianming returned to the front yard, he heard that there was a letter written by Yuxi. After reading the letter, Han Jianming was in a good mood. In all these years in Jinling, he has never heard of the fact that Wu's family has hidden huge treasures. Because Wu Kuo has been doing business for Yuxi all these years, he has some scruples, so he only sent someone to investigate in private, but unfortunately found nothing. In the end, he also gave up, but he didn't expect that the rumors were true.

Seeing this, Han Gao asked with a smile: "Master, is there any big happy event in Pick City?" It must be a great thing to make his master so happy.

As for his confidant, Han Jianming naturally did not hide it: "The previous rumors about the Wu family hiding a huge amount of treasure are true. Wu Kuo has already agreed to donate that treasure as military expenses."

Han Gao was a little surprised, and asked, "Why is Wu Kuoruo donating this treasure now?"

Han Jianming said with a smile: "The concubine has received the exact news, and she asked Wu Kuo to donate the treasure on the condition that the princess marry Wu Kuo's second son." Han Jianming took the plundering behavior for granted. Whether it is a huge treasure or a rare treasure, if you don't have enough power, you will never be able to keep it. If you don't know the practice, you will be imprisoned, and your family will be destroyed. Yuxi's handling method is quite gentle.

Han Gao laughed: "Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?" This time he not only collected a huge amount of wealth, but also settled the marriage of the princess, which is not killing two birds with one stone.

Han Jianming glanced at Han Gao, and said, "Yuxi loves the children very much, and she won't trade them for benefits. This time, it was the second young master of the Wu family that Zaozao first took a fancy to, and Yuxi just took advantage of the trend. "And with Zao Zao's character, if she doesn't agree, Yu Xi and Yun Qing can't force her.

Han Gao immediately corrected his words and said, "The little one made a mistake. This should be double happiness."

Han Jianming hummed and said, "Double happiness indeed. Yuxi must have breathed a sigh of relief when Zaozao's marriage is settled." Although Zaozao is not very old, that guy wants to find someone he likes It's not easy.

Han Gao was a little curious: "Then what is so special about the second young master of the Wu family that he would be favored by the princess?"

Han Jianming said with a smile: "I heard that he looks very good, he is the most beautiful boy in Pick City." As for how good he looks, he has never seen it, but since he has a good reputation, it must be not bad.

Han Gao's expression was a little weird. It turned out that the princess was interested in his appearance, not his talent.

As if knowing what Han Gao was thinking, Han Jianming said with a smile: "If you just look good, you may not be able to get into Zao Zao's eyes." It was exactly what she wanted.

Han Jianming had nothing to say about Zao Zao's standard. Green vegetables and radishes have their own preferences.

The two most important things in war are military pay and food. Now that the military expenses are gone, only food is left. Yuxi deliberately told Han Jianming about this, just to ask him to raise food and grass.

Calling his staff over, Han Jianming told the two of them about the matter, and then asked, "Look, is the princess planning to attack the capital?"

Mr. Zhao frowned and said, "My lord, didn't the concubine mention this in the letter?"

If he had said so, Han Jianming would not have summoned two people to discuss: "No, the concubine only asked me to raise food and grass in the letter." It will be the summer harvest soon, and Yuxi didn't say that I want it immediately, so this errand is not Disaster.

Mr. Qu said: "Since the princess didn't say anything, I'm afraid she is preparing for the attack on the capital." Wushuang is also considered to be an accomplished emperor. He has managed Hebei and Shandong very well, and the garrison is also strong and strong. Therefore, attacking the capital will definitely be a fierce battle. And they have been fighting all these years, not only the bank is empty, but also many casualties. And conscription will increase the burden on the people. Once the attack on the capital is not smooth, the situation may become unstable. Therefore, it is best to have a truce for three to five years, recharge your batteries, and send troops to attack the capital at that time.

Han Jianming also had this suspicion: "If it wasn't for attacking the capital, what would you need so much food and grass for?" If it was a war in Yunnan, Yuxi didn't need to write such a letter.

Mr. Zhao thought for a moment and said, "My lord, do you think the prince is planning to attack Beiyao?" peaceful.

Han Jianming suddenly became enlightened when he heard this, and said: "I remember the princess said that it is the prince's long-cherished wish to destroy Beiyao. This time, the princess must prepare for the attack on Beiyao by ordering food and grass." If Yunqing conquered the capital first and became the emperor, then there would be so many things to do, Yunqing might not be able to conquer by himself.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qu said: "If this is the prince's wish, then preparations must have been made several years ago. In this way, the chances of winning will be great."

Han Jianming was not worried about this battle, and said, "My lord never fights an uncertain battle." He had great confidence in Yunqing. Of course, even if he lost, it would not affect the overall situation.

Half a month later, Zijin arrived in Jinling with 2,000 elite soldiers. This time Zijin led troops to Jinling mainly to escort Yinzi back to Haocheng, and Guo Xun led people to follow just in case.

After arriving in Jinling, Zijin first went to see Han Jianming, and Han Jianming sent someone to help Zijin dig out the treasures. After digging it out, Zi Jin took Guo Xun to check. Two-thirds of this batch of treasures is silver, and one-third is gold. In addition, there are several boxes of rare treasures.

Looking at these gold and silver treasures, Zijin couldn't help but said: "Princess Weidao wants me to personally lead soldiers to guard this treasure." Money touches people's hearts, if the escort becomes greedy, the loss will be great. Not to mention how much gold and silver was greedy, as long as the few boxes of rare treasures were concealed, it would be a great loss.

Guo Xun knew what Zijin was thinking, and was a little speechless: "Wu Kuo, the master, doesn't know the number of these gold and silver treasures? People in the dark do tricks." These gold and silver treasures can only be loaded in hundreds of carriages, and it will take two months to return to Pickaxe City. If the defense is not enough for such a long time, it is easy to go wrong.

Zijin smiled and said, "Brother-in-law is right." Because she recognized Zisu as her older sister, she naturally called Guo Xun her brother-in-law.

Because of the news, Han Jianming had collected enough carriages in the past half month. It only took three days to load the gold and silver into the carriage, and then set off back to Pick City after resting for half a day.

Zijin led troops to Jinling and escorted nearly a thousand boxes away within a few days, which attracted the attention of many caring people.

Shi Hua and Fang Xing said: "General, the traces left by those carriages are very deep, and the escort should be heavy." Wu Meng's gold and silver were all made of good camphor wood. The boxes were sealed, and sealed again when they were loaded into the wagon. The drivers didn't know what was in it.

Fang Xing looked at Shi Hua and said, "If it's an ordinary thing, the concubine won't make such a fuss. Nine out of ten of these boxes are gold and silver."

Shi Hua opened his mouth wide and said, "No way? Thousands of boxes are full of gold and silver, so it's not worth tens of millions of taels of silver." The pile was as high as a mountain.

Fang Xing said: "Not all the boxes are made of gold and silver. Some of them may contain other things."

Shi Hua said: "That's a lot! How do such a large number of treasure princesses know?"

Many people have heard of the fact that the Wu family has hidden treasures. It's just that Wu Kuo is also working for Yuxi, even Han Jianming has some scruples and dare not attack him, let alone other people.

Fang Xing smiled and said: "Who can hide what the princess wants to know from her. But if my guess is right, that's a good thing. With such a large sum of money, the matter of attacking the capital will be brought up soon day schedule." When the time comes, he won't have to stay in Jinling anymore. Although it is said that this place is very rich, he can expand his pockets without being greedy, but money is not his ultimate goal, what he wants is to make contributions.

Shi Hua nodded and said: "This is indeed a good idea for us, but speaking of it, the princess is really good at making money." A huge sum of money was found in the palace back then, and now it is obtained from the Wu family. Wealth is simply against the sky. If he knew that these two huge sums of money were related to Zao Zao, he might not think so.

Fang Xing nodded and said, "The concubine not only has fortune, but also helps her husband. Since the prince married her, he can do everything smoothly." Even with his subordinates, they all followed suit. Who married such a daughter-in-law and wouldn't hold it up! (to be continued)
