Chapter 434 You are welcome parents-in-law
Ye Mingyue was the first person Xie Lao'an, who represented her mother, and then came to see Xiaobei again. Although Xie Lao'an didn't quite understand why the Ye family, who had a male, asked the eldest lady to come over, Ye Mingyue acted generously and had no picky words or behaviors, but she was completely different from Xiaobei's lively and bold words. She immediately became curious about Mrs. Su, whom she had never met. After thinking about it, she asked Ming Ming that the two sisters of the Ye family planned to wait for Wang Fulin to go back to Huizhou and went back on the same road. She also had the intention of returning to her hometown to pay homage to her relatives.
After all, the old house in Songmingshan was left to the old servant for care. She only went back once fifteen years ago. Now that she has the idea of returning home, it is time to go back and take a look!
So, as soon as Ye Mingyue arrived, Wang Fulin came to visit him. Xie Lao'an couldn't help but be confused. After Wang Fulin met, she smiled and revealed her intention. Then she suddenly realized.
"This time, Mr. Ke, a escort of the school teacher hired by Ye County Zun, escorted the eldest lady here because Ye County Zun was worried that I would delay my studies when I went out. After all, even the young master of Mr. Cheng's family was like me, and he was taught by Mr. Yu for a time. As for the eldest lady, she came to Yangzhou to pick up her sister, and to visit relatives. I just learned that my wife's distant cousin was the wife of Gu, the Lord of Lianghuai Salt Transportation Commissioner. After their sisters reunited, they were afraid that they would go to see the elders and stay for a while. I came today to discuss this matter with Lao An and discuss the schedule with their sisters."
Mr. Xie was originally a little worried that Wang Fulin's arrival would make Wang Daomin see something, but he didn't expect that Xiaobei's aunt was the wife of Lianghuai Salt Transportation Commander! Thinking that the little girl had never mentioned this before, she was a little unhappy, and although she didn't bring it out, she sighed in her heart. She thought that the girl was really talking nonsense, but she actually regarded her as an outsider!
At this time, Wang Fulin coughed dryly and said, "To be honest, Lao An said, this relative is a bit far away. In addition, Xiaobei's aunt has been with her husband all year round. Xiaobei has only seen her as a child. So she is not very clear. She has never visited her since she arrived in Yangzhou, and it is because she didn't know at all. The lady got the letter we sent back in She County. When she heard that we were in Yangzhou, she thought of that layer of relatives, so she asked the eldest lady to come over and took Xiaobei to visit her, and stay there for a while."
Otherwise, what could he say? Xiaobei was not originally a daughter of the Ye family, so he couldn't remember all his relatives?
After saying this, Mr. Xie immediately dispelled the slightest displeasure just now and quickly said, "Since we are not such a close relative, why bother with others? Wouldn't it be just right for the eldest lady to stay with me?"
Wang Fulin was very glad that Xie Lao'an believed his explanation quite easily, so he agreed to help persuade him. Finally, he received permission from Xie Lao'an and was taken into the house to see people. When he saw Xiaobei, whose eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and Ye Mingyue, who was next to her, he spoke, "Mr. Ke told me that this is great news. Moreover, compared to Zeng Xian's beheading and showing public order, he had been wronged for decades. Mr. Hu was barely lucky. The deceased was gone, so don't be sad."
Ye Mingyue also said, "You are talking about it. Xiaobei just said that because of Shao Fang, she had no good feelings for the chief prime minister Gaoge, but this time she had to remember his love."
"Gao Xinzheng was indeed able to regain his prime minister by relying on Shao Fang's power to bribe the powerful and powerful. Moreover, after entering the cabinet, he acted stubbornly and was cruel to political enemies. However, he had the courage to fight corruption, revolutionize bad politics, and hired people without doubt. Moreover, he did not keep someone like Shao Fang running around, which shows his extraordinary intentions."
When he said this, Wang Fulin was thinking in his heart that it was a pity that the prime minister's political life was completely counting down. Seeing Xiaobei taking the cold towel handed over Bizhu and applying it to his swollen eyes, he changed the topic and said, "After that, you really want to move to the Salt Yunshi Houya of Yunshi Street?"
Xiaobei is no longer as happy and sad as he heard the news at the beginning, let alone Wang Fulin rushed over. This attitude made her feel happy that she was valued. She threw down the towel and gave it to Bizhu, then looked at Ye Mingyue and said, "Sister, I have never seen the aunt you just mentioned. Why don't we go to see you together, but you should live here with me when you look back? Xie Lao'an is fine."
"You don't listen to what Mom said now?" Ye Mingyue scraped Xiaobei's nose and then said to Wang Fulin, "It was Mom who heard that you were in Yangzhou. She remembered that the Wang family in Songmingshan also operated the salt industry in Yangzhou. It happened that the uncle of the Gu family was transferred to the salt transportation commissioner. So she specifically asked me to take Xiaobei to meet someone. My mother highly praised our aunt. Although Xiaobei's life experience was not easily revealed, she mentioned to others that she was an unjust court official, so she should get along well with her aunt. Besides, she did not live in relatives' houses when she went to Yangzhou, but lived in the house of her fiancé's relatives. What do you want your aunt to think then?"
Xiaobei was just a little uncomfortable with the relatives of the oldest and aunts of the Ye family. When she heard that it was Mrs. Su's meaning, and she was also the wife of the salt transport commander, she did not insist anymore. What's more, the relatives of the fiancé's tribe made her feel a little embarrassed. So she could only murmur in a low voice: "I remember when we were in Hangzhou, we also met two daughters of the two Zhejiang salt transport commander Mr. Shi. The two sisters of the Shi family were gentle and friendly, and they were both good people. I wonder what the relatives of my aunt were there?"
"When will you go, I'll send you?"
Seeing Wang Fulin say this, Ye Mingyue couldn't help but smile: "I know you are busy, but now you have a more intimate Mr. Ke, please go and do your best!"
"Yes, you go and do your own thing, don't forget to do the business and study!" Xiaobei also quickly agreed, but his eyes glanced around. Last time, Wang Fulin told Xie Lao'an that he was his fiancée, so she was already embarrassed. This time, if you want to talk nonsense to your mother's relatives again, that would be a big terrible thing. After all, my sister is here, and I will tell my parents when I go back!
Wang Fulin came here because Hu Zongxian was rehabilitated and was not very worried about Xiaobei's reaction. In addition, since Ye Mingyue has arrived, he can't even show his face. Since the two sisters are driving people, he no longer insists. He asked Ye County Zun's recent situation carefully.
When he learned that the new county magistrate had already taken office before Ye Mingyue set off, and the yamen of the Huining Road Censorship Branch had been almost completely renovated. Before that, Ye Junyao went to the capital city to take office because the yard of his family had not been repaired yet. The Ye family discussed with his parents. Except for Ye Junyao, others moved to his small courtyard for a while, and he suddenly felt a subtle feeling.
I don’t know if it was Ye Dapao’s idea or Mrs. Su’s idea. This is really a rude father-in-law and mother-in-law! But then again, Ye Mingyue and Xiaobei went to see the wife of the salt transportation envoy, of course, not only to recognize relatives, but also to help him. From this point of view, it is really another kind of impolite.
Although Ye Mingyue was not dressed as a man like Xiaobei, she did not intend to show up in Yangzhou too much. Even Mr. Cheng only asked Wang Fulin to send greetings, but did not go in person. She and Xiaobei finally went to resign from Xie Lao'an. They said clearly, and then both went to visit Su, the wife of the salt transport commander of Lianghuai Salt Transportation Command. Xiaobei had already received Ye Mingyue's instructions, not mentioning the intrigues of the salt merchants. She only said that Mrs. Su heard that Su had followed her husband to Yangzhou to take office, thinking that the two places were not far apart. When Mr. Lu passed by She County in Xinchang, he entrusted him to take them to Yangzhou to meet his aunt.
Two nieces from her parents' home come over. Su was also a little happy at the same time. Mrs. Su wrote a letter in her early years that she told her that Xiaobei was a friend who was wronged and was originally fostered at home. Now that the child is growing up and is about to get married, she is recognized by Ye Junyao for the sake of her status. So she is no different from the two sisters, and she must move from the inn to her, and even sent someone to move her luggage immediately. Ye Mingyue tried her best to persuade her, saying that her family members who were accompanying her would go and get it. Finally, she did not reveal the inside story of Xiaobei living in Xie Lao'anren for a long time.
Su is in her early forties, eight years older than Mrs. Su, but she already has three sons. The only regret is that she has no daughter. Not only that, her eldest and second sons are already married, and both daughters-in-laws got married not long after entering the house, and they also gave her two grandchildren. Therefore, seeing Ye Mingyue, gentle and pretty, Xiaobei, the daughter of her cousin with a good temper, after she left behind, she actually arranged the house herself, and asked them to live in Yangzhou for a while, and even enthusiastically planned to introduce the daughters of several Yangzhou officials to them.
Faced with such an overly enthusiastic relative, Xiaobei felt relieved and pulled Su Shi to smile and talked about Ye Mingyue's participation in Yixiang Club in Huizhou. Su Shi was worried that Xiaobei would change a lot when he was young, and her temperament was cautious and taciturn. However, she didn't expect that she was so easy to get close to people, so she naturally became more pity. She nodded and said, "The daughters of Yangzhou also like to form associations and entertain themselves. It's a pity that my family has no daughters. Although the two daughters-in-law are still young, they are both mothers. Although these unmarried ladies have invited each other several times, they can't say the same thing. If you like it, I'll let someone take you over."
The Salt Transport Department in the Ming Dynasty was not as good as the Salt Transport Department of the Song Dynasty, and was even regarded as a turbid current. According to the law of official promotion, the salt transport envoys from all over the country were promoted from the prefect, and after the term was completed, they would mostly be promoted to the governor's office to participate in politics, that is, the higher-level division of the road was divided, and there were very few people who could enter the court to become officials, but the two Huai Salt Transport Departments had different status after all.
Among the five major salt transportation departments in the world, Huai salt is the one that is sent to the border areas the most. Gansu, Yansui, Ningxia, Xuanfu, Datong, Liaodong, Guyuan, and Shanxi Shenchi Castles all rely on Huai salt. Among the silver sent to Taicang every year, the five major salt transportation departments have a total of more than 900,000 taels, and Lianghuai accounts for 600,000 taels! Therefore, the shortage of the five salt transportation envoys is the first-class beauty, and Liangzhe is second, so the Su family has such confidence.
Xiaobei quickly shook his head and said, "We won't stay in Yangzhou for a long time. Auntie doesn't have to bother. Just talk to you with my sister and I. Besides, there are sister-in-law and nephew!"
"Before, I was in She County, because my mother was not here. My father was so angry that he was blinded when he first arrived. My sisters were idle and helped me find out the news for my father. I didn't like to gather together. My aunt listened to Xiaobei, so there was no need to bother." Speaking of this, Ye Mingyue asked casually, "By the way, I heard on the road that everyone outside said that there has been a lot of rainy water flowing up the Yellow River recently, and the water level of the canal is high. Even Yangzhou needs to open a sickle early?"
"That's right." Su nodded, and then said with some concern, "The master has been to the prefect's office several times for this matter. He is not afraid of anything else, but is afraid that the canal will be flooded and the salt will be blocked like before. Moreover, according to the master's wishes, the salt east of the banknote will be released as soon as possible, and then the salt merchants will be transported to sell it. However, the salt inspector was not easy to talk to, and he was still sternly verbally checking it."
