Jinyi Music

Chapter 556

When Zheng He sailed to the West, the fleet was so huge. The front ship disappeared into the sea and the sky, and the rear ship hadn’t left the port yet. The 44-foot-long treasure ship is still enjoyed by the coastal people. road,

"It's a pity that the blueprints for building that treasure ship have been lost. If we didn't build such a treasure ship to go out to sea, and sweep across the surrounding waters, why would we be afraid of the Japanese pirates coming from the opposite side?"

In the past, the imperial court raised the power of the country and promoted the prestige of the country, but now the grand occasion is gone, and private shipbuilding is no one capable of making a treasure ship!

Dan Ying's family has a boat yard, so he talked about it in a clear and logical manner. He talked and laughed and saw the beautiful woman staring at him with beautiful eyes. He just felt that a heart was like catkins floating on the willow tree, light and light. , When the wind blows, it will go to heaven!

The more I talked, the more I spit, a little bragging,

"Many boatmen's families in our shipyard have been in this industry for generations. It is impossible to find the old objects left by the family, and you can also find the pictures of the year... When the treasure ship is built, it will be able to travel across the ocean. Let's show off the country's prestige in the outer domain!"

Gu San and Gao Jiu are both prodigal sons in love. Seeing this situation, they don't understand that Dan Ying is bragging in front of Mrs. Mou, so they can't help but curse inwardly.

"Damn it, it's no wonder that this kid's reputation as the second generation patriarch spread from Suzhou to Hangzhou. He's talking about serious things. Who told you to brag and fart!"

Thinking about when Zheng Gong went to the West, he used the power of the whole country. Why did no emperor dare to propose the sea in the future? Isn't it all because it is not beneficial to the country?
You can do things that the whole country can't do, and bragging is not the way to brag!
The two rolled their eyes secretly, but Si Lian listened very attentively, nodded with a smile and said,
"Brother Shan has such lofty ambitions, it's really rare!"

Even if people say it's generous, I can't help it!
It's just that Dan Ying didn't seem to understand Si Lian's perfunctory meaning, and she blushed with excitement when she praised her. Knowingly, I hurriedly cleared my cough,
"That... ambition is admirable, but let's take it one step at a time, let's get the loom work done first!"

Shan Ying nodded hurriedly,

"that's right……"

Ask Gu San again,

"Brother Gu, if there is any land near your loom workshop for sale, why don't you buy all of the nearby looms? If the looms are successfully trial-manufactured in the future, you can expand them. If we want to do it, we can make it bigger and make it into Hangzhou City and even the city of Hangzhou. The largest loom workshop in the three southern provinces..."

Gu San shrank his head when he heard this, and said with a sneering smile,
"Brother Shan is so brave, but...in my opinion, it's better to take it step by step..."

The Shan family is the richest man in Suzhou, and Shan Ying is the only son in the family. It is a habitual extravagance, and it is necessary to show off in front of Si Lian. She waved her hands and said with a smile,
"Brother Gu is really too careful. It will take time to wait until when the money will be credited into the account. Naturally, we need to expand the number of looms to make the money flow faster..."

Gu San and Gao Jiu looked at each other, they could see disapproval from each other's eyes, but they didn't know how to refute Dan Ying, Si Lian still said with a smile,

"It is said that the loom is powered by water, but it is just a concubine's delusion. I don't know if it is possible. Of course, I have to try it before I know... Expanding the scale of the business will naturally make the turnover of money faster, but it will also be slow. The benefits of taking it slow..."

When Si Lian spoke, Shan Ying nodded repeatedly,
"Ma'am said so!"

Gu San grinned straight at the sight, and said in his heart,

"You can't let this kid stay with Madam again. If this goes on like this, Mr. Mou's fist will hit my third master on the nose!"

This room hastily changed the topic, and called Xiao Er to come in and order food. Gu San and Gao Jiu repeatedly introduced this famous Yangzhou dish to Si Lian. Three of the four people present had eaten and seen it before, and they talked about it again. Famous dishes from all over the world are well-known. After a meal, the four of them can be regarded as having a good conversation. After eating wine, Dan Ying is a little taller. After Ying got into the car, Gu San was sweating behind his back and sneered at Si Lian,
"That... Ma'am, next time we discuss matters, I will definitely not bring this kid with me, and please cover up for me in front of Xiao Lin..."

Si Lian nodded to show her understanding, got into the carriage supported by the maids, and left in the carriage.

When she got home, when the two children saw her, she ran over,

"Mother, mother!"

Si Lian knelt down, hugged one in each hand, scented their little faces from left to right, and asked them,

"What are you playing today?"

Yuru pointed to the courtyard next door,

"bird……"

Fuer replied,

"There is a new bird here today, the fur on its body is so beautiful..."

Si Lian took the little hands of the two children, talked softly to them, and went into the back room. Seeing that it was getting dark, she coaxed the children to bed, went to wash herself, and came out of the clean room. Sitting in front of the dressing table to comb her hair, she didn't do it a few times, when her hand suddenly tightened, someone grabbed her hand from behind,

"ah!"

Si Lian was startled, and when she turned around, she saw Mou Biao standing behind her with a dark face, she patted her chest and turned back, sizing up the person behind her in the bronze mirror,
"Have you finished Xiaolin's work?"

Mou Biao hummed with a cold face, combed her hair lightly, and asked after a while,
"Who did you go out to see today?"

Si Lian immediately understood why his face was so dark when he heard it, and couldn't help but rolled his eyes at the bronze mirror,
"You know all about it and still come to ask me?"

The people behind were silent for a while,
"I heard... you and that kid can get along quite well?"

Even Cuixi and Cuiqiao in the outer room could smell the sour smell in those words, they looked at each other and quietly retreated, Si Lian didn't say a word but just looked at him through the bronze mirror, seeing her husband's face was still sinking like water, She was very careful with one hand for fear of hurting herself, she was angry and funny at the same time, after the black hair all over her head was combed, her anger disappeared, and she thought to herself,

"You have seen his domineering son's temper more than once, and you are angry with him, but you are angry with yourself. Why don't you use a way to make him forget this. If everyone is kind, you won't be angry!"

Si Lian is not stupid, she doesn't want to do something that hurts her body and hurts her husband's relationship again!

So she turned around and reached out to hug Mou Biao's waist, and rubbed her small face on his belly,

"Xiao Lin..."

She softened her voice, and when she raised her head again, she glanced at Yingying Qiubo, and half of Mou Biao's jealousy disappeared immediately. Just as she was about to speak, Si Lian had already got up, stretched out her hand to hook his neck and hugged him, and Mou Biao couldn't help it. He stretched out his hand to support her buttocks, and hugged her up, and then the head above the earlobe became hot and painful again,
"Xiao Lin, I'm sleepy, take me to bed!"

With just this one sentence, Mou Biao couldn't tell the difference between southeast and north, he hugged his wife obediently and went to bed, and left that damned Dan Ying out of the blue...

When he opened his eyes again the next day, Mou Biao got up refreshed and put on his clothes. He looked in the mirror and saw the little red mark on his neck.

"hey-hey!"

He smiled in satisfaction, moved the neckline down on purpose, and looked back at Si Lian who was still sleeping. There were more marks on Si Lian's neck than his own. Thinking of his wife's rare enthusiasm last night, his heart warmed. He went over and kissed her deeply, and seeing her shrink into the quilt with a whimper, he went out contentedly.

Afterwards, Si Lian really didn't see Dan Ying again, and only discussed with Gu San, Gao Jiu and Ni Dongchu on matters, so she stayed in Hangzhou for a month, swam the West Lake three times, and the emperor's dragon boat finally arrived in Yangzhou.

The news that the emperor was going south was known to all the people in the south. Along the way, wherever the dragon boat was on, as far as the eye could see, there were officials from the local government leading their subordinates and the common people kneeling to greet them. The boats and even the places where the emperor disembarked and walked around were clear water splashed on the streets, the loess paved the ground, and there was a place to enter the market. The people who went to Jinyiwei looked at the bustling market atmosphere outside, but none of them were serious businessmen inside, it was just a play jointly performed by local officials and their entourage!

Fortunately, the young emperor didn't choose anything, and he played with his concubines who were as beautiful as flowers and treasures on the dragon boat all day long. There are also Jinyiwei who are a lot lighter. Seeing that they have arrived in Yangzhou, Zhu Houzhao was moved to disembark.

He called Mou Biao who came to meet him and said,
"I came here with great fanfare. They must have been prepared. The things I can see are what they want me to see. I know it in my heart, but when I get here, I want to see some real things!"

Sure enough, no one who can be an emperor is a fool, and even if there are fools, that's just pretending!
Mou Biao hurriedly bowed his head and replied,
"Your Majesty is wise!"

Zhu Houzhao then asked,
"Even if you came early and made the first stop, you already know what it's like to come to this Yangzhou mansion. Today..."

He turned his head and nodded Liu Jin,
"Today we are going out in disguise as before, just me and you two..."

"Yes!"

Mou Biao and Liu Jin bowed together to salute.

When the dragon boat stopped in Yangzhou, all the local officials knelt at the pier to greet them, but Zhu Houzhao said,
"I'm tired all the way, so I won't see you tonight, you should go back and rest too!"

After hearing this, the officials didn't dare to stay at the pier, so they had to take the order back, but they didn't go far, so they asked for a room in the inn near the pier, went in to rest by themselves, but sent their own servants or subordinates Stay on the pier, and report immediately if there is any movement on the dragon boat.

So and so, if one person does this, others follow, but it didn't take long, all the good inns near the pier were rounded up, and many servants and small officials were left on the pier They watched the dragon boat eagerly from a distance.

There was a clever man, seeing someone coming down from the boat behind, he went up to get close, stuffed the money in his hand, and asked with a smile,

"Dare to ask the superior, His Majesty has rested, when will you be able to summon the adults tomorrow?"
