191, Chapter 191
When Yang Haiyan heard Tao Shan's question, she felt that Tao Shan was very thoughtful, but she did not answer clearly: "For whatever reason, are you willing to wait three years?"
Tao Shan is twenty-two years old this year. He wants to get married as soon as possible. But following Qin Fang for the past two years, he has gained some knowledge. Besides, he has made several trips to the city. What he saw and heard on the road has also expanded his horizons. He said: "I'm willing to wait." The three years of waiting were regarded as a process of getting to know each other. After marrying a virtuous wife, in three years, he can always find out what kind of person the other person is, which he feels is quite good. "Xiangjun, who is this person?"
Yang Haiyan smiled: "I can't tell you the name of the girl's family. I'll ask them what they think when the time comes. If they like it, I'll introduce you to them. However, I will tell them your name. Do you think it’s okay? If not, I don’t need to say your name.”
Tao Shan said: "It doesn't matter to me, you can just tell them, and in our hometown, Xiang Wang always talks about everything by name."
Yang Haiyan said: "Okay, I have nothing to do. I will tell you when there is news." Through this short chat, she saw that Tao Shan is a person with ideas, and his ideas are not small. Maybe Neither his parents can influence his mind. In fact, she likes men with ideas, as long as they are not chauvinistic.
Tao Shan stood up and looked at Qin Fang: "General, is there anything else?"
Qin Fang waved his hand: "Go and rest."
Tao Shan: "Yes."
After Tao Shan left the inner courtyard, he did not rest immediately. Instead, he took out the monthly routines he had saved and gave each of the guards who followed him to the capital two hundred coins. The two hundred coins were the monthly allowance for the guards for a month. If he didn't have a reward from the emperor this time, he wouldn't give it to him. But if the emperor rewarded him, it would naturally be due to the contributions of other guards.
After giving it, he still had eight taels of silver. Tao Shan hid the eight taels of silver. Thinking of Yang Haiyan's words, he felt that his capital for marrying a wife had become richer. Speaking of which, in the two years he followed Qin Fang, he saved five taels of silver, of which he sent 500 taels of silver to his parents in his hometown every year. The rest was all he saved.
He has to support his parents in his hometown, but he also has to save money for his small family in the future. Tao Shan was very satisfied with the sudden extra money. He went to take a cold shower, and then fell asleep. He didn't even want to eat, he was so tired.
In the inner courtyard, Yang Haiyan and Qin Fang had also taken a bath. Yang Haiyan was lying on the bed, reading the emperor's secret letter to Qin Fang, while Qin Fang was fanning himself. In Qin Fangxin's mind, the world was originally big, and his wife was the biggest. Now that my daughter-in-law is pregnant, she is even bigger.
Yang Haiyan was a little surprised after reading the letter: "The emperor gave you one hundred thousand taels of silver to raise horses?"
Qin Fang said: "Well, it's a deposit receipt of one hundred thousand taels. Go to the bank to withdraw the money. However, there is no such bank in Yunxiang County. I'll go to Hedong Fucheng. The emperor probably knew from the teacher that I was raising horses. Regarding the matter, hasn’t the teacher’s letter from home arrived in the capital? I guess the letter he gave to the emperor has also arrived.”
When Yang Haiyan heard this, she said, "The emperor is quite generous. He even gave up one hundred thousand taels of silver to let you raise a horse."
Qin Fang: "...I don't have any money. If he doesn't give it to me, how can I raise it? And one hundred thousand silver seems like a lot, but when the horse farm picks it up and hires people, it also has to be spent. The biggest trade is the horses. We need feed..." He suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and after a while he added, "If we build a horse farm, don't we have to buy the land here? It will cost a lot of money. I will discuss it with the emperor. "I can clear out the land myself, so I can save a lot of money on buying the land." Qin Fang stood up and said, "I'll write a letter right now."
Yang Haiyan: "Don't worry. If you write now, Tao Shan won't be able to deliver the letter tomorrow. You have to let someone rest for a few days, right?"
Qin Fang said: "I won't let him send it off."
Yang Haiyan raised her eyebrows, very puzzled.
Qin Fang thought for a while and said, "I'll deliver the letter myself."
Yang Haiyan: "..." She was shocked. Qin Fang actually wanted to deliver the letter himself. What did this mean?
Qin Fang pursed his lips and said, "I haven't met the emperor yet."
Pfft... Yang Haiyan couldn't help laughing. It turns out that this was because she was jealous that Tao Shan had met the emperor, so she wanted to deliver the letter herself.
Seeing her smile, Qin Fang pretended to be expressionless: "You are not allowed to laugh. If you laugh again, I won't slap you."
Yang Haiyan was not afraid of him: "I won't care if your daughter gets too hot."
Qin Fang said: "I can't warm her up, but I can't let you go if I warm you up."
This man's love words now come casually. Yang Haiyan looked at him with a smile, what should I do? What she said was very pleasant.
Qin Fang also looked at her and sat down again: "And it's not just about the horse farm, but also about fruits and vegetables. Didn't the emperor ask us to bring the vegetable and fruit seeds to the capital? He wanted to grow them in Huangzhuang. Go ahead. But I’m still new to this kind of thing. I haven’t figured it out yet. I’ll give it some time. Do you think the emperor wants to bring Niu Da to the capital?”
Yang Haiyan said: "I don't know about that."
Qin Fang: "So, I still have to go to the capital to talk to the emperor...I will buy you good things when I go to the capital."
Yang Haiyan raised her eyebrows.
Qin Fang realized that she had said the wrong thing. She had grown up in the capital, and she was still in Taifu Yang's mansion. What good things could she have not seen before?
"As long as it's something you bought, no matter what it is, I like it." Yang Haiyan said before his smile faded.
Qin Fang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and the smile on his face returned to color: "Then what do you want, write a note down, and I will go to the capital and buy everything for you. You must have a lot to think about. Do you want it? Write down all the things you used to use in the capital. I didn’t have the conditions to give you good things before. Now that we have money, you can buy whatever you want.” Later, he was rewarded with silver by the emperor for his meritorious service. Although Qin Fang's official position was not promoted, the emperor's reward was not less.
In Qin Fang's view, money is more valuable than official position.
Yang Haiyan laughed and scolded: "Dai, when I was in the capital, although I could eat good food, I only used food from the servants. There were regulations, but it was not as good as the food now. Now. I am the wife of General Qin, and the things that come from the official wife are naturally better than those from the servants. So, if you really want to go, I just want you to come back in good condition. That’s it.”
Qin Fang couldn't help but be moved after hearing this. He thought that if he went to the capital, he would buy her more things for the official wife.
next day
Things about the racecourse are not that simple. First of all, if Qin Fang requisitions land in Yunxiang County, he must discuss it with Magistrate Yang. The land in that place can be requisitioned. At the same time, he also needs to ask the racecourse administrator, Is the land in this area suitable for a horse farm? He had to figure out all the plans before he could go to see the emperor. For such a plan, some things were indeed unclear in the letter or document, so he reported it to the emperor in person.
Qin Fang went to see Magistrate Yang, and Yang Haiyan was not idle either. She asked Uncle Hong to bring a message to Uncle Yang San, asking him to come over in the afternoon to discuss Qiu Ya's affairs.
Uncle Qin understood it as soon as he heard it.
In the afternoon, Uncle Qin came.
Because Third Uncle Qin was a man, Yang Haiyan and Third Uncle Qin met at Liuxin Courtyard, where Grandpa Qin, Grandma Qin and others were there, so they could avoid suspicion.
Uncle Qin came here after lunch and helped Aunt Qin at noon, otherwise he would have been here in the morning. After arriving, he said hello to Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin, and then he couldn't wait to ask Yang Haiyan: "Afang's wife, what did you say we were discussing about Sanya?"
Grandma Qin said: "Look, you are in a hurry. Let's drink a cup of mung bean soup to cool down the heat."
Uncle Qin showed a touching smile: "Thank you, mother." In front of his mother, his son will probably never grow up.
Yang Haiyan smiled and said: "Third uncle, don't be in a hurry. Just listen to me and speak slowly."
Uncle Qin responded: "Hey, I'm listening, you can tell me."
Yang Haiyan explained Tao Shan's situation: "This young man is the personal bodyguard of the husband. He usually follows the husband in and out. He has a fairly stable personality and is smart. Compared with Qiu Ya, there is a big age difference. He is twenty-two years old this year. I have asked him about the marriage, and he does not agree with it, but he agrees that the first child can take the woman’s surname, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl.”
When Qin Fang heard that he was following Qin Fang in and out, he thought of Tao Shan. He had also met Tao Shan and knew that Tao Shan was the unmarried bodyguard around Qin Fang. But when he heard Tao Shan's age, he was a little confused: "Young man?" "Twenty-two?" It doesn't look like it.
Yang Haiyan said: "He has served in the military for five years. It's not surprising that he is twenty-two. He is the same age as my husband. This is his situation. I also mentioned to Tao Shan that the girl's family has to wait three years before we can get married. He said If he likes the girl, he is willing to wait, but he doesn't know that the girl is Qiu Ya. For the sake of Qiu Ya's reputation, I didn't tell him this. "
After hearing this, Grandma Qin said, "You'd better think carefully. In this way, even if it doesn't work, Qiu Ya and Tao Shan won't be embarrassed when they meet."
Yang Haiyan said: "No."
Uncle Qin thought for a while: "My wife, can you let me think about it for a few days?" When it comes to his daughter's life, he always has to think about it. Moreover, the other party is twenty-two this year, and in three years, the other party will be twenty-five. He is also a man, and he knows that it is difficult for a man of this age to wait for three years. Moreover, if the daughter is married and has not given birth for several years, or the first child is a girl, then the other party will be thirty, will he mind this? For a moment, Uncle Qin's mind was at a loss.
Yang Haiyan said: "There's no rush, just think about it slowly."
