Splendid Peasant Girl: The Reborn Husband Asks for a Hug

"Wen Jin, you can't hide from the capital that you went to the city with Zongbing Yang."

Old Master Yan's face was serious, "The old man arranged us in Linyong to keep an eye on Wu Jiazhen, but you and that child Xibin have always been on good terms..."

Having said that, he paused and did not continue the topic.

Yan Wenjin and Wu Xibin have gotten along well since they were young. The two have similar interests and ambitions. They are close friends and their relationship is better than that of brothers of the same clan.

Because of this, he got closer to the Wu family.

The old man handed over the matter of tracking Wu Jiazhen to the old man Yan, but the main reason why they were arranged in Linyong was because of its geographical location, and the reason why the Wu family placed Wu Jiazhen in this position was also the same .

Linyong is the only place from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital. If there is any change in the south of the Yangtze River, or if there is any important event, when the local officials cannot contact the court, the news can be reported here in time.

In addition, Mrs. Yan also shoulders the task of managing the property of the Duke's Mansion outside of Beijing. To put it bluntly, it is to earn money for the Duke's Mansion.

Old Mrs. Yan was a concubine. He was severely suppressed by the wife of the royal family back then. He did not take up an official career. All the property was handed over to him to manage.

Although Ningguo's mansion is a veteran honorable man with a profound heritage, it can't stand the fact that there are too many people, too many things and too much consumption. Where is the level? Some ostentation can't be done, but it's not for their own face, and they have to take care of the concubine Shu in the palace It's not the same as the fifth prince, so the government's expenditure is very huge.

Relying only on the interest collected from those Zhuangzi and a few shops outside the effect, it is simply impossible to support such a large expense.

What's more, in private, they still have to subsidize Concubine Shu's mother and son, especially the fifth prince. Fighting for the heir is not just a matter of lip service. If you want people to do things, the benefits of real money must first be tangible.

Otherwise, who will work hard for you.

Although Concubine Shu's dowry is rich, there are many things that cannot be moved, and the fifth prince's private property is not much, and the prince's salary and errand salary alone are not enough for himself, so how can he have money to do other things.

The Duke's Mansion is tied to him, and his affairs are the Duke's Mansion's affairs, so of course we must fully support him.

But of course, this kind of thing can't be put on the bright side. They are afraid of being noticed secretly. How can they be put on the bright side, so most of the most profitable industries of the Ningguo Mansion are not in the capital.

Among them, many mineral industries involve huge sums of money, and they are not at ease to be handled by outsiders, so they are all handed over to Mrs. Yan.

And the old man Yan did not disappoint the old Duke. Over the years, the money that passed through his hands flowed into the Duke's mansion like water, and into the pockets of the fifth prince. Only then did they maintain a decent life and be able to plan some things.

It was precisely because old Mrs. Yan was so good at collecting money, even though he did not fully obey orders in other matters, the old man did not criticize him.

For example, he was asked to monitor Wu Jiazhen, but because of the friendship between the juniors, he was perfunctory and didn't take people seriously.

Another example is asking him to bury a few nails in the Changling Mansion and secretly collect information, but he didn't do it well, and he repeatedly evaded these things under the excuse of being busy with property management.

The old man thought that he was short in rulers and strong in people, and he was probably not born to do that kind of thing, so he didn't send this kind of task again, and let him concentrate on making money.

He also said that he can take care of these industries for the Duke's Mansion, which is the greatest credit, as long as he does this well, it will be fine.

It is also because of the old man's support that the old man Yan and Yan Wenjin's grandparents have been able to live a peaceful life away from the gossip in the capital these years.

No matter how arrogant the other people in the Duke's Mansion are, the old Duke treats them well. Even if he has a plan, it is undeniable that he values ​​blood relatives. In front of the branches, all of them were so proud that their nostrils turned to the sky.

But since the crown prince presented a fierce tiger to the emperor, and Yan Wenjin refused to marry Huyan Rufeng, the old man's attitude towards the old man Yan is not as good as before.

If it wasn't for the need for him to do things, I'm afraid his attitude would be even worse.

Today's Mrs. Yan is no longer the concubine who lived under his aunt's hand. Although he has a strong sense of family, he has always respected the eldest brother, the old Duke, but he doesn't care too much about such things.

There is nothing he can't look at when he is old. Besides, no matter how important the family is, no matter how important the eldest brother is, it is not as important as his own grandson. How could he make it difficult for his beloved grandson for the sake of other people's faces.

What's more, he has always been brooding about the fact that they wanted to point out that idiot Huyan Rufeng to Yan Wenjin, and his feelings for the Duke's Mansion have also faded.

But their grandparents are protected by the Duke's Mansion after all, and as clan members, how can they be with people from the opposing camp.

Yang Xinyi is the commander-in-chief of the Changling Mansion and holds military power, which is different from Wu Jiazhen.

And the situation was special that day, Yan Wenjin not only showed up with him, but also fought side by side with him, killing the enemy and suppressing the rebellion, obviously they belonged to one group, the old Duke must have intervened if he knew about it.

Mrs. Yan worried that Yan Wenjin would be punished.

Yan Wenjin comforted, "Grandfather, don't worry, they don't have time to take care of me now, it's fine."

Mrs. Yan thought for a while, yes, the Duke's Mansion is still in a state of desperation, and really has no time to deal with them.

I heard that the Fifth Prince displeased the Emperor for some reason, and reprimanded him many times in court, embarrassing the Fifth Prince, embarrassing the Ningguo Mansion, and being seized by political opponents to participate in several books. Guo Zheng is in a hurry to put out the fire.

Thinking of this, Old Master Yan felt a lot more relaxed, "Then what are you going to do now? Are you going to Western Country?"

Yan Wenjin looked at Old Mrs. Yan, but Chu Ning jumped out of his mind restlessly, and then bouncing around in front of his eyes, "...the matter over there is over, don't go over it for now."

Mrs. Yan was overjoyed, but thinking of the capital, he was still a little worried, "I understand the old man's temper, and he tolerates other things. He will never let things like this go, even if he doesn't Kung fu, when I turn around and settle the matter at hand, I will still ask."

Yan Wenjin said, "I didn't want to hide from him. He asked if he wanted to. I can deal with it myself."

Seeing that he had his own plan, Old Master Yan didn't continue the question, "Well, anyway, they don't have time to trouble us now, so you can stay at home safely and spend more time with grandpa."

Yan Wenjin saw his expectant face, and swallowed back what she wanted to say.

That's all, let Changfeng go to the south of the Yangtze River for him.

Chu Ning played mischievously in his mind again, Yan Wenjin pursed her lips lightly, thinking that she would come to see the little matchmaker today, but she didn't come.

Don't know what she is doing?
