son-in-law

Chapter 212

Concubine Feng is sitting upright on the couch with a stately appearance. Although she has been out of the palace for ten years, she still maintains her dignity:
"At the beginning, the six major chaebols cooperated to push up the price of yarn, silk and cotton spinning all the way. If it hadn't been for the Queen Mother Chen's furious rage, I don't know how long they would go. But later, they still completely mastered the cotton spinning industry. For workshops and factories, if you want to ship goods, you must go to the warehouses of six companies. It is easy to make money."

Zhao Zhun brought a hidden pouch for his mother, and leaned against his back, while Concubine Feng leaned lightly, and continued:
"Since they can make money, why can't we? Don't forget who owns this Luoyang city. How come our Zhao family is overwhelmed by them? The Tang, Meng, and Ximen families are nothing more than the three families of Fan, Qian, and Han. Come in together, but there is nothing to do with our Zhao family. How can this be justified?"

Standing in front of his mother, Zhao Zhun asked with frowned eyebrows: "Mother, what do you mean, let your son cooperate with those profiteers?"

"A profiteer? What is a profiteer?" With a look of hesitation on her face, Concubine Feng shook her robe sleeves, and the servants backed away, and the concubine said in a slow tone: "Sure, you want face, but you must know in your heart that face is not worth anything. The successful prince and the defeated Kou, now you have nowhere to retreat. If you don’t seek the throne, others will think you are seeking. Now you can only advance but not retreat. My mother has watched the situation in Liang Chao, and I know that there are many dangers in the replacement of imperial power. I It is predicted that once Zhao Chong chooses Zhao Liangjun to succeed him, your fate will never be good."

Zhao Zhun refused to accept it and said: "But Zhao Chong did not make Mr. Zhao Liang the crown prince. So far, the ceremony of making a crown prince has not been done yet."

"Confused!" Concubine Feng stared: "The emperor said that Mr. Zhao Liang is the prince, and he doesn't take care of the ceremony. This is a kind of temptation. At this time, you should immediately express your position and stand firm, so that the people who follow you will have more confidence. Let the emperor be afraid. Otherwise, the emperor will continue to test the matter step by step, and the matter will be confirmed. At that time, the people who follow you will be disheartened, and you will lose all your wings. What else can you contend with the prince's party?"

Zhao Zhun sighed: "What do you think mother should do now?"

Concubine Feng raised her head and said: "It is imperative to win over Emperor Zhao Ting. Zhao Ting is one of the five generals of Xuanjia, and he was the confidant of Empress Dowager Chen in his early years. Zhao Ting's army has a high prestige and real power. The fourth division of Jingjia is the direct line of troops he brought back from the Western Regions. I think you have heard of the bravery of that army. And No.11, No. The 13th divisions were integrated after the war against Hu, and Zhao Ting's people also infiltrated there. If Zhao Liangjun wants to inherit the throne, he must also be one of the targets to be cleaned up. If you don't cooperate now, when will it be?"

Zhao Zhunyi frowned: "Mother, why do you say that the emperor's uncle will also be cleaned up? Everyone knows that the emperor's uncle is loyal to Zhao Chong. Zhao Chong is not stupid, and he knows it too."

Concubine Feng glared: "What is loyalty? Ever since he reached out to No.11 and No.13 divisions, the emperor has been eyeing him! Now the emperor is relying on two people with foreign surnames, Xuanjia General Zhang Yunlong and Director Cao Sheng. For example, this time, Zhao Chong summoned Zhang Yunlong instead of Zhao Ting! Could it be that you still can't see the situation clearly?"

Concubine Feng hated that iron cannot be made into steel, and she said earnestly: "My son, life and death are important matters, don't be confused."

In the early morning of the next day, a heavy rain finally passed, and Luoshui surged and flooded.

Even in this Qinghuafang, the low-lying places are already waist-deep.Some not-so-sturdy houses were washed away by the flood. At this time, Tang's mansion was dignified and robust to rescue them everywhere.Tang Ling'er told Tang Kuan, Tang Xian, Tang Yan, and Tang Lin that all the money spent on repairing the house would come from the Tang family's silver warehouse.Those who are homeless will go to the military warehouse to live temporarily. They don't have to worry about food, and there are nearby canteens to meet them.

Su Yu went to arrange for the refugees, and returned home after everything was in order.

It was noon at this time, the flood gradually receded, the pond overflowed in the courtyard of Eighth Miss's house next door, countless koi were galloping and jumping, and some of them even swam to the princess' mansion.As the flood receded, the big carp rolled in the shallow water,
Xiao Huan and other maids are catching carp everywhere, and the carp is almost three feet long, and a maid can't hold it.Su Yu helped, and a group of maids carried the carp with rags, laughing and sending it to the next courtyard.

Perhaps in response to the phrase "a woman's house collapses", the main hall of the widow Eighth Miss's house collapsed. Eighth Miss Tang Yun felt that it was too unlucky, and she was sitting in the ear room crying, saying that her life was miserable.

Seeing that Su Yu came to deliver the fish, he pulled Su Yu and refused to let him go. He had to repair the house before he could leave.Su Yu laughed, and said that if you don't go to the old one, you won't come to the new one, don't worry, Eighth Sister, Ling'er cares about Eighth Sister, and will definitely build you a better house.

At this time Tang Lian was sent by Su Yu to Honghei Temple to take care of him.

Tong Yu was left in the military warehouse by Su Yu to take care of the refugees.

Su Yu left Eighth Miss's house and went to East Dacang to care about Feng Yu's situation. The foundation of the Dacang was relatively high, but it still couldn't escape the flood. The bottom layer of paper had been soaked, Feng Yu remembered The brows were on fire.Handsome girl, no matter what expression she has, she is beautiful and picturesque, which is pleasing to the eye.

"Feng Yu, don't worry, listen to me, don't move the bottom layer, just put it there."

Feng Yu said bitterly: "The lower paper has been soaked in water, how can it be reused? And it's covered inside, once the moisture returns, the upper paper will also suffer. Wouldn't it be more troublesome?"

Su Yudao: "Look at this warehouse, there are layers upon layers, which are more than two feet high. With so many papers pressed together, how heavy can the bottom be? Now you insert the paper with your hands, and you can see whether it is hard or soft. Be fruitful, and the flood will not easily sink in. Even if the outer edge is soaked, it will be irretrievable.”

Feng Yu was obedient on the surface, but dissatisfied in her heart, avoiding Su Yu's sight, opened a package, and grabbed it with her hands.The edges of those papers were soaked, and they were rotten with a claw, but they couldn't be grasped after an inch.Grabbing it two inches hard, the paper was so densely packed that it couldn't be grasped.

The papers are uncut and are generous squares.If only the edge is soaked, remove the edge when cutting, and there is still a large part that can be used.Feng Yu was secretly happy, and smiled shyly. Just as he stood up, he saw Su Yu standing behind him with a smile on his face.The girl's pretty face blushed quietly.

Su Yu stretched out his hand and pinched the girl's cheek: "What you need to do now is to open the door for ventilation. I will send swordsmen to protect Dacang and do my best to prevent fire."

Su Yu turned around and left, the girl's heartbeat accelerated and her breathing became short of breath, and she couldn't catch her breath for a while.

The county horse had gone far away, and the girl could still vaguely feel the temperature of her finger pinching on her cheek.

Then Su Yu left Qinghuafang, crossed Luoqiao, and came to No. 7 West Third Lane, Fushanfang, to condolences to Tan Qin'er.

The Tan family's father and daughter opened a small shop here, and besides selling water basin mutton, they also sold wonton dumplings, but when a flood came, Tan Qin'er's minced meat had already floated onto the street.The girl was discouraged and annoyed, cursing God while cleaning up the dirt and stains on the ground.

Su Yu didn't talk much, he picked up the wooden lei to help the girl with her work.

Tan Qin'er didn't notice Su Yu, and was still babbling: "The white-eyed wolf surnamed Su didn't even come to see me when he made such a fuss. The white-eyed wolf has no eyes for having children."

"That child was born by you." Su Yu threw Mu Lei aside.

This voice startled Tan Qin'er, the girl bit her lip, put down her tools, and rushed over.

Su Yu knew this girl too well, and knew something was wrong, so she quickly put on a posture: "I'm new to practicing 'Thunder Hand', do you want to try it?"

"Try it, I'm afraid you won't succeed?" Nizi yelled.

"Qin'er, step back." Tan Fangding's figure appeared at the back door, pointing at Su Yu: "Come to the backyard and compete with me."

"...!"

Su Yu was speechless for a while.

Su Yu has experienced the master's boxing style before, if he competes with all his strength, he really has no foundation in his heart.

"Hey, elder brother, you can take it easy. I'm new to practice, and my meridians are not stable." Su Yu said truthfully.

Tan Fangding pointed to some tree roots that had been soaked in water in the backyard and said, "Try it."

Hearing this, Su Yu was very satisfied, but he became puzzled again: "Why did you buy these tree roots, big brother?"

"Root carving."

"Root carving?"

"Why, don't you believe it?"

Su Yu smiled wryly: "I didn't expect senior brother to be so handsome. This is a good idea."

Tan Fangding shook his head and said, "It's not my inner show, it's for Qin'er. I feel that I haven't trained her well and let her live like a tomboy over the years. I, the father, have the responsibility The older I get, the more guilty I feel. Now I have hired a root carving teacher for her, hoping that she can calm down and study. And I also found Mr. Characters for her, and now she knows a lot of characters."

Poor parents all over the world, Su Yu nodded and said, "I'll give you how much money the two teachers spend."

Tan Fangding waved his hands and said, "I appreciate the kindness of junior brother, but we men have hands and feet, so we don't need to give alms."

Eldest senior brother is a person who cares about face, Su Yu won't talk too much anymore.

I thought that the senior brother wanted to see Su Yu's "Thunder Lord's Hand", but never thought that the senior senior brother would actually ask Su Yu to fight the "Fu Hu Fist".

Su Yu practiced a set, all learned from Senior Sister Yan.

Tan Fangding waved his hands again and again: "No, that's a woman's boxing method. Watch me fight, you learn!"

The big brother unleashed his combat power, and "boom, boom, boom" rocks split and trees cracked.
