147, Chapter 147 (1/2)

Although Qin Fang is thoughtful and scheming, his own plan for doing things is just a little bit. His thoughts will not change, that is, he will leave a way out when doing things. He will not Rushing into adventure, he has no backing, and he will not do some dangerous things. For example, sulfur mines and saltpeter mines, he would not think of hiding them himself. For example, he immediately presented the method of making ice from saltpeter to the emperor. He knew that with someone like him, his biggest supporter was the emperor.

Therefore, when Yang Haiyan said that he would dedicate this potato flour and sweet potato flour to the emperor, he was on the same page. It's just that his relationship is one thing, but his wife's courage is another. But think about it, his wife is from Taifu Yang's family, and Taifu Yang is the one who participated in the fight for the heir, so it is normal for people who are from Yang's family to be courageous.

When Qin Fang heard Yang Haiyan say that she wanted to repay the emperor, she smiled unkindly. His eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling were clearly telling Yang Haiyan that he didn't believe her lies. Everyone in the family was smart, so it was his father and mother who were talking about this.

Yang Haiyan made him smile a little more evilly, and asked unconvincedly: "Ms. sir, why are you laughing?"

Qin Fang immediately said: "I laugh at my wife who is the smartest." How could he tell the truth? To be honest, daughter-in-law, I don’t know why you want to repay the emperor? The emperor is a wise king, and you have "repaid" the emperor. Even if the things the emperor gives are not as good as you expected, the emperor will still not let others suffer. As a wise king, how could he possibly take advantage of his ministers?

Yang Haiyan didn't know what he was thinking. It was almost their wedding anniversary. In Yang Haiyan's heart, Qin Fang had always been an upright and honest person. In the beginning, her attitude toward Qin Fang was similar to that of the characters in the book. In the book, he was a responsible person. No matter how hard the original owner tried, he never treated her. Even though he said harsh words, he never took action. Therefore, Qin Fang left a good impression on her. When they met again, she was very satisfied with Qin Fang's appearance and figure. This was her type, so she tried to get along with him and date him. , also try to tease him and make him feel sad about you. She knows very well that whether it is modern or ancient, for a woman to live happily, winning the heart of a man is the most important thing. Unless a woman plans to live her own life, she won't be with a man.

But as they spent more and more time together, she got to know Qin Fang better. He was a careful person who planned for the future. When he joined the army, he wanted to make progress. When General Ao said that they might go to the capital, he considered that Yang Haiyan did not want to go, so he decided to retire and open a bodyguard agency. This life was better than going home.

It can be seen from this incident that he is a person who takes one step at a time and takes three steps at a time, and will not be in a hurry when things come to a close.

However, Yang Haiyan never knew Qin Fang's side of him. In front of her, he would hide his little thoughts and his dark side. Just like now, she doesn't even know. Qin Fang has already understood her, but he still says good things and doesn't let her tell.

Qin Fang is not hiding himself, he just wants her to be happy and live an easy life.

Of course Yang Haiyan was happy to be praised, so she was very pleased to talk to him about her plans, from franchise, franchise fee to management, etc. Qin Fang also thoughtfully gave her tea: "You are slow. Order some water and have a sip of tea first.”

Yang Haiyan nodded, her mouth was indeed dry.

While Yang Haiyan was drinking tea, Qin Fang asked: "What do you mean, whether it is potato flour or sweet potato flour, their profit is ⧖‌ times that of potatoes and sweet potatoes?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Yes, this is still based on the price of flour. If the price of potato flour and sweet potato flour is higher than that of flour, then the profit will be more. Moreover, potatoes and sweet potatoes are sold per pound. A penny is a pound, and if you buy it in bulk, you can probably get a penny or three pounds. I think this is a good thing. The common people can make potato flour, and the family can make money together.”

She didn't suggest that ordinary people should join. First of all, ordinary people couldn't afford the expensive franchise fee. Of course, the money had to be earned from the aristocratic family. This time, ordinary people were powerless and couldn't hold on to the franchise quota even if they got it in the local area. Maybe others went to the city and praised it after a few times. Therefore, this franchise must be from an aristocratic family, and it must be a family that he does not dare to offend because of its power, but has a good moral character. In the end, the reason why the emperor was involved in this matter was because if this was the emperor's plan, no one would dare to damage the emperor's reputation. The emperor who emerged from the heirloom was so fast that no one wanted to try his sword.

Qin Fang said: "Then you write down the plan, and I will ask Tao Shan to send the memorial to the capital."

Yang Haiyan was stunned and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Aren't you going to give the letter to Mr. Du this time?"

Qin Fang couldn't help but laugh: "The letter that the emperor asked Manager Chi to forward mentioned that if there is something wrong with me, I can report it directly." This is mainly to prevent the sulfur mine and saltpeter mine from leaking out. "But I will also say something to Mr. Du. After all, Mr. Du is very kind to me." After all, although there is no name of master and apprentice, he is master and apprentice. friendship. ‌ Moreover, this time Du ‌’s letter also gave him a lot of advice.

Yang Haiyan said: "Then let Tao Shan send some potato flour and sweet potato flour to Du Yu's house. I have written down the methods of potato flour and sweet potato flour. However, we don't make much potato flour and sweet potato flour now. These are the small ones made by me and Lian Ma. Now the emperor and Du Yu need to send them over. These small ones are not enough."

Qin Fang said: "Okay."

The couple talked about the business, then took a bath and went to bed. Speaking of which, Yang Haiyan was very happy recently because Qin Fang stopped pestering her to have a child. Although Yang Haiyan didn't know why, she didn't ask, lest he asked, Qin Fang would start to be obsessed with the child again.

Ten days later, a large batch of potato flour and sweet potato flour were ready. These were all dry powders, made by the people in the general's house led by Yang Haiyan, so the quantity was large.

After the potato flour and sweet potato flour were made, Tao Shan set off with a letter to Du Yu and a memorial to the emperor. There were many things to bring on this trip, so Tao Shan also took the guards of the general's mansion with him.

During these ten days, Meng Ping, who went to find Aunt Fan, had returned home. The reason why Aunt Fan did not return home was because of her daughter's matter. Back then, Aunt Fan's daughter went to raise money, but before she could raise the money, Aunt Fan was sent away by the pawnshop. After her daughter learned about this, she fell ill and was ill intermittently afterwards, and she never recovered.

The reason why Aunt Fan did not return home was that she was taking care of her daughter in her hometown. Originally, Aunt Fan had always been passive in her hometown. Her daughter's in-laws and her ex-husband's family all teamed up to bully her, and she didn't want to cause trouble for the general's mansion, so she didn't say that she was working in the general's mansion until Meng Ping went there. Then the family knew that Aunt Fan had a backer behind her, and they didn't dare to bully Aunt Fan anymore. Aunt Fan was relieved.

Knowing that Aunt Fan was fine, Yang Haiyan was relieved. The kitchen is now in charge of Kun Zhang, Meng Qiu is Kun Zhang's assistant, and the yard guards are in charge of Aunt Yu and Meng Ping, so the general's mansion actually bought only a few servants in Yunxiang County, and the number is very small. She thought that instead of buying servants and paying monthly wages, it would be better to directly hire the family members of the private guards. In this way, the family members of the private guards don't have to find work again, and she doesn't have to find servants she doesn't know, which is perfect.

"County Master...County Master..." Yang Haiyan was taking a nap when she heard Nanny Lian's call.

"What's the matter?" Yang Haiyan stood up. Although she was not tired recently, she was not relaxed at all, because she had been busy with potato flour and sweet potato flour for the past ten days. She had to be very cautious and careful when handing over things to the emperor, for fear that something might go wrong. So during those days, Yang Haiyan's mind was always tense. Speaking of things, even during these days, she did not dare to relax. As long as the things did not reach the emperor's hands and she did not receive the emperor's receipt, she would be worried.

Speaking of things, her behavior was indeed very bold, because the only thing she knew about the current emperor was everything written in the novel. The novel wrote that the only stain on this emperor was the matter of the prince. From a prince to an emperor, he was wise and intelligent all his life. However, because Yang Haiyan and his wife were the protagonists, even if he chose the child who was supposed to be a legitimate prince as the crown prince, no one would notice this stain. Because... how could a prince who was raised by the protagonist be bad because of the influence of the protagonist's glory?

But in fact, Yang Haiyan didn't know whether the current emperor was just like the one in the novel. After all, novels are written, and the people in novels have no blood or flesh. But now, the people she comes into contact with are all flesh and blood.

Yang Haiyan took a risk. With her understanding of the novel and the emperor's act of naming her a county lady, she took a risk.

If the emperor is just like in the novel, then her adventure will be successful and she will be appreciated by the emperor. If it wasn't like in the novel, she wouldn't take risks again. Based on this incident alone, the emperor wouldn't put her in a bad situation. If the emperor really wanted to do something to her, she would be able to protect herself.

So these days, her mind was still very tense.

Nanny Lian said: "The soldiers guarding the city reported that Huang Huzi brought the Qin family back and had arrived at the city gate. Huang Huzi asked him to tell Xiangjun first."

Yang Haiyan hurriedly said: "Quick, comb my hair for me. I have to go to the gate to meet them." I haven't seen the Qin family for a whole year, and I don't know how they are. I don't know how the Qin family chose this time. But she was still happy that the Qin family could come, and it would be more lively in the future. Although she didn't like living with her parents-in-law, it was still lonely with only her husband and wife at home. Now that the Qin family is gone, they will be arranged to live in the military camp and fields, and they will not live together, so she can move around more.

Nanny Lian gave Yang Haiyan a brief acquaintance with her messy hair due to the nap, and then went to the gate of the general's mansion to pick her up.

Yang Haiyan: "Uncle Hong, open the main gate, and wait for the guests."

Uncle Hong: "Hey." Uncle Hong was quite nervous because he heard Yang Haiyan say that there were guests.

Nanny Lian said: "It's not here yet. The county gate is far from our mansion, and even the carriage will take a while. Don't be nervous, my lady."

Yang Haiyan smiled and said: "I am a little nervous. I haven't seen my grandparents for a long time, and I haven't seen my father and mother. The soldiers just reported, but who are the people who will be here today?"

Aunt Lian said: "The old slave asked, and the soldier said he didn't mention the specific people. He only said that there were many people. Not only were there many people, but there were also many things on the carriage."

When Yang Haiyan looked up, she didn't know for sure. She didn't know who the people were, but the more people there were, the happier Qin Fang should be. He is a filial person. He lives a good life outside, but he can't worry about his family. Even if he sends money to his family every year, he knows that his family is frugal and reluctant to part with money. So I always want to let them eat something good, so as not to wrong myself.

But people in the country are used to saving money, and they are not willing to spend money.

Yang Haiyan thought that the elderly people were reluctant to spend money. Now that they lived in Yunxiang County, she brought the meat and vegetables she bought to them. They were always willing to eat them because they were even more reluctant to let the vegetables go bad. .

Aunt Lian suddenly said: "It's over, Mr. Xiang, please, a few carriages have passed by over there."

Yang Haiyan also saw them. Even if they were not clear, due to the distance, they could see that there were several carriages, and they must belong to the Qin family.

Sure enough, when they got closer, they were indeed the Qin family, because the leader was Huang Huzi riding a horse, and the one driving the carriage behind him was Qin's father. Father Qin's three brothers can all drive horse-drawn carriages. Naturally, the Qin family does not have horse-drawn carriages. This is the land of the Qin family, so they have rented other people's ox-carts and donkey-carts. It makes sense, so Qin's three brothers can all drive the carriage. Compared with ox-carts and donkey-carts, men prefer fast horse-drawn carriages.

Yang Haiyan unconsciously walked out of the door and took a few steps outside. Then, she saw the curtain of the first carriage opened, and someone looked out from inside. It was Qin's mother whom she was familiar with.

Qin's mother came out after seeing Qin's father's words, saying that she had met Yang Haiyan. However, she actually met her daughter-in-law. She said nervously: "Yanyan." Nervous. Besides, he was also excited and happy, so his voice was particularly loud. But after shouting, she felt that she had made a mistake. How could she speak so loudly in this county without being laughed at? Suddenly, Qin's mother felt embarrassed again, thinking that she had embarrassed her son and daughter-in-law.

Unexpectedly, Yang Haiyan also responded loudly: "Hey, Mom, you are finally here. My husband has been talking about it these past few days, and I can't even eat." Qin Fang, the rice cook, couldn't eat. It's impossible to eat.

Qin's mother felt relieved when her daughter-in-law responded enthusiastically to her. She felt relieved that her daughter-in-law didn't dislike her. When her daughter-in-law talked about her son, Qin's mother's eyes turned red. She missed her son more than her son missed his parents. Parents missed their sons more. Because they are worried about their son being exposed abroad. After all, military commanders are very dangerous.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, Qin's father jumped out of the carriage first, and then helped Qin's mother get out. Yang Haiyan came to the carriage and stretched out her hand. At the same time, she called Qin's father: "Dad." Then she said to Qin's mother, "Mom, please be careful."

Qin's mother is actually quite cautious about her daughter-in-law. After all, in her heart, a daughter-in-law is worthy of her son. Even if she thinks her son is good, she still feels that her son is superior to her daughter-in-law. People say that the daughter-in-law of a high family is difficult to get along with. Qin's mother doesn't think Yang Haiyan is difficult to get along with. But getting along with the daughter-in-law of a high family makes a mother-in-law from a rural family always feel stressed. But now, seeing her daughter-in-law's enthusiasm, she felt a little more relaxed. Qin's mother said, "Don't worry, Yanyan, I'm used to doing rough work at home, it's nothing." After saying that, she jumped a little.

Yang Haiyan didn't know what Qin's mother was thinking, but she had a good impression of Qin's mother. Since ancient times, the problem between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been extreme. A good mother-in-law is very good, and a bad mother-in-law is very bad. In Yang Haiyan's heart, Mother Qin probably thinks you are that very good mother-in-law.

Seeing this, Yang Haiyan still supported her: "Mom, besides you and dad, who else are there? Are grandparents here?"

"It's over, it's over..." Grandma Qin's carriage was right behind, and when she heard Yang Haiyan's words, she said first. She groaned because she was worried that her eldest grandson-in-law would not be there.

Seeing this, Yang Haiyan walked towards the back: "Grandma, have you had a hard journey?"

Grandma Qin said with a smile: "I'm getting older, so it's been a bit harder on the road, but when I think about seeing you, I won't have to work hard anymore."

Yang Haiyan felt that this grandma was very considerate and what she said was very nice.

When Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin got off the carriage, everyone in his carriage also got off. The first and third bedrooms are all occupied, and the second bedroom only contains Uncle Qin and Niudan. The eggs are the liveliest, so give them to "Sister-in-law ‌" first.

Yang Haiyan also likes children who are lively, cute, and well-organized. A person who is used to being alone sometimes wants to have a lively home, but sometimes she is afraid of trouble. "It's only been a year since we last met, and the eggs have grown taller."

Niu Dan continued: "I eat an egg every day." After the family was divided, the second wife also raised chickens, and Qin Erya knew how to be a simple female celebrity, so Aunt Qin occasionally bought meat for her. The family makes up for it.

Yang Haiyan said: "Then starting from today, I will give you an egg every day to make you grow taller."

Niudan's eyes lit up: "Really? I really like eating eggs."

Yang Haiyan said: "Of course it's true." After teasing Niudan for a while, she asked her second uncle, "Second uncle, why are second aunt and Erya not doing anything?"

Second Uncle Qin said honestly: "She..."

Grandma Qin said: "Yanyan, let's go in and talk about this."

Yang Haiyan asked, could it be that Aunt Qin was acting like a monster and something happened? She stopped asking and greeted Third Uncle Qin's family: "Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Sanya, Sanya is here just in time, and she can be Siya's companion. By the way, Siya is Siya, Following Si Ya’s ranking, I gave her a formal name: Si Ya.

Qin Shouye said: "In the letter that Si Ya sent to her at the end of last year, she was bragging about her name. It was her sister-in-law who gave her such a good name."

Yang Haiyan saw Qin Shouye who was in good spirits. The young man had also grown taller. He was the fastest young man of his age. "Then you have to be careful. I won't have to wait until she comes back from the embroidery workshop to compete with you in literacy."

Qin Shouye said, "I'm ashamed. I don't know that I don't know as many characters as she does." He had only studied for a year, and the number of characters he knew was limited.

Yang Haiyan said: "It doesn't matter, you can go to Shoucheng's bookstore. If you don't know the words, Shoucheng will teach you later."

Qin's mother said: "This is a good thing."

Uncle Qin said: "My wife, how about you give our Sanya a formal name?"

Third Aunt Qin got married and thought it was good, so she couldn't help but said: "Sanya and Siya are sisters. A formal name is really good, but it is too troublesome for Yanyan."

Qin Sanya is also looking forward to Yang Haiyan.

Yang Haiyan was embarrassed now: "Is it okay if I take this?" She asked Grandma Qin. When she named Si Ya, she also felt that the girl should have a formal name, and since she was the eldest sister-in-law, she was married through her eldest brother Qin Fang, so it didn't matter. But as for Sanya, she is the cousin in the next room after all, so she doesn't dare to make the decision.

Grandma Qin said: "What is this? It's really good to let Ah Fang, the eldest brother, take care of the boy, and let you, the eldest sister-in-law, take the girl. Later, let Ah Fang give the cow egg a formal name. ”

Qin's mother said: "Then Yan Yan also took the name of Ya. When the second uncle returns, he will take the name back with him."

Second Uncle Qin said: "Hey, that's okay. What's Erya's name?" He was very honest, and he also made some embarrassing remarks.

Yang Haiyan had some doubts in her mind about this conversation. Second Uncle Qin wanted to go back? "Then Erya should get married too, ‌Ya Er Ya San Ya, I have to think about this name. I will wait for my husband to come back later. When we have dinner, I will tell the ‌ family, right now outside Hot, let’s go in first.”

‌The family is chatting, but everyone is still outside.

Grandpa Qin said: "You women go in first and dry it outside. I, you two, will carry the grain in."

Yang Haiyan paused: "Food?"

Grandpa Qin said: "The next few carts are full of grain. We thought that the food at home would get moldy if we put it away, so we took it through together."

Yang Haiyan praised: "Grandpa thought carefully." In fact, he had to carry food all the way, so he was not tired. But of course she wouldn't talk about the old man's saving. "Grandpa, you and your family should all go in," he said, and then said to Uncle Hong on the side, "Uncle Hong, ask someone to move things."

Uncle Hong: "Yes."

Yang Haiyan took the opportunity to introduce: "Grandpa, grandma, Uncle Hong who just came in is the housekeeper of the house. There are few people in the family, so he is the housekeeper and the housekeeper of the house. This is Aunt Lian, who is by my side. If you have any issues, you can come to her, the mansion still has..." She led the family in while talking about the affairs in the mansion.

Entering the General's Mansion, the Qin family were stunned.

Because the General's Mansion was old and had only been repaired but not renovated, when they were outside, they didn't feel that the General's Mansion was grand yet, but now that they were inside, they could see the difference.

Grandma Qin shouted: "Ah, this... all of these belong to the general?" It must not be the case.

Yang Haiyan smiled and explained: "This general's residence is already the residence of a prince. The prince is the younger brother of the late emperor, so his palace is very spacious. Later, when the prince passed away, the palace became empty. After my husband and I passed away, the palace was renovated into the general's palace. However, it was only for us to live in temporarily, and the general's palace was not ours. If my husband was transferred to another place, the general's palace would still have to be returned to the court. "So, we are allowed to live here in the General's Mansion. "So, they are all from the imperial court, so it doesn't matter whether we want to change the size or not.
