In the capital city in November, the cold wind is already blowing. Even at home, those who have the conditions to light the stove have already lit the stove. But those who are unable to part with the charcoal can only rely on the firewood.
It's time to move to let your body resist this terrible weather.
"In previous years, it wasn't this cold!"
In a large room in the inner palace of the mansion, Li Fuyao and Catherine were talking. Both of them had a lot of things to deal with. Originally, they were doing their own things in their own rooms. The weather was cold.
After getting up, Catherine came to Li Fuyao's room on the grounds that she often discussed matters with Li Fuyao.
Nowadays, all matters in the house are basically handled by the two of them. Xu Caining is now pregnant and is lazy every day. Although they both have the same taste, why is Xu Caining pregnant?
There was no movement from the two of them, but after all, it was a matter of taste, and there was no delay in what should be done.
"In the past few years, it has been getting colder year by year. It's so cold in the capital now. I'm in Liaodong, and I don't know how cold it is!"
Li Fuyao covered the small hand warmer in his hand and said slowly: "Last time when we went to Zhouzhuang to buy cotton clothes, the eldest sister told the people around the master not to forget that when the fleet comes back, they will be sent there.
Some, they accompany the master to fight outside the customs, so the family must miss them!"
"This has been done by people from the commercial bank. It is done according to the share of two hundred people. The people around the master should be enough!"
Catherine nodded: "Yanran always sends back some messy things. I have a headache. It would be great if the master is at home. He will definitely know how to get rid of these things at the most cost-effective price!"
The two of them smiled face to face. They had different feelings about their master's adopted sister, but one thing was certain. The things that his adopted sister sometimes did in a whimsical manner were quite similar to his original demeanor.
"Have you not received any letters from the master recently?" Li Fuyao asked: "The last time we sent back so many prisoners, the whole capital was shocked. Even the servants at home were very happy after they left. But after that time,
It seems that there is no news about the master’s return!”
"The master is very busy!" Catherine tilted her head and said seriously: "Our fleet only goes to Pi Island. It is said that the master has captured a big city and is now confronting the enemy there to prevent the enemy from taking it back.
, I guess he probably doesn’t have time! When he is done with his work, there should be a letter coming back!”
"Hey, I will definitely not be able to come back for the New Year!" Li Fuyao sighed: "At this time, the eldest sister should actually hope that the master is by her side the most. Don't let the master not be around when the baby is born!
"
The door outside creaked, as if someone had come in. The two of them lifted up, and saw the wind-shielding door curtain lifted, revealing Xu Caining's figure.
"Sister, why are you here? If you need anything, just call us over!"
"Let me move around!" Xu Caining smiled and looked at the two women in the room: "They said I should move around more to avoid swollen feet. What are you talking about? I seem to hear you talking about the master!"
"We are talking about whether the master will not come back for the New Year this year!" Catherine said straightforwardly: "Sister, are the enemies in the north so powerful? Didn't they win the battle? The master should be able to come back for the New Year!"
Xu Caining shook his head slightly and sat down in the room.
"If nothing else happens, he probably won't be able to go home for the New Year this year!" She said with some regret in her eyes: "While the master was victorious, the imperial court was defeated in Jinzhou. The news had already been sent back, but the imperial court has always been suppressed.
Because of this matter, the people in the capital now only know that our master defeated the Tatars, but they don’t know that our court suffered a huge defeat!"
The other two people in the room frowned.
"Our master has gained face for the imperial court, and made the imperial court's face less ugly!" Xu Caining smiled: "However, recently, some people do not want to see our Ming Dynasty winning the war, and they have changed their ways to be evil and slander our master.
, you two should also pay attention to the matter at hand, and don’t let others find out about it and use it as a weapon to criticize our master!"
"How to say?"
Their faces suddenly became serious. Their men were fighting outside, and if someone was slandered behind them, that would be something they would never tolerate.
"It is said that the food and salary sent to Dongjiang Town were refunded by Dongjiang Town!" Xu Caining snorted: "The villains spread rumors that our master has evil intentions and would rather use North Korea's money and food to raise troops than use our Ming Dynasty's money and food.
, His heart is worthy of death!"
"Where is the money and food of Korea? It is clearly earned by me from all over the world!" Catherine shouted unconvinced: "We are using our own money to support the army for the court. Have the consciences of these people been eaten by dogs?"
"That's why I came here, especially to explain your affairs!" Xu Caining said in a deep voice: "We can do it privately for the Sihai Commercial Bank to transport money and food to Dongjiang Town, but we must not say it openly. This is better than using North Korea's national
The consequences of money and food are even more terrible!"
Catherine and Li Fuyao's expressions froze slightly. They had not thought of this problem yet.
"The accounts of Sihai Commercial Bank must be done clearly and clearly. Fan Yongdou will come to the capital in person in two days. He will teach you how to do certain things!" Xu Caining ordered Catherine.
"Over in Tianjin, there have been extremely unusual checks on our fleet recently. Some people want to attack our family!"
"Then how should we deal with this? Should we tell the master about this?" Li Fuyao said timidly. Xu Caining's words made her a little panicked.
"No need for the time being, let's not mess up our own position!" Xu Caining said: "It doesn't matter if a bunch of guys who are afraid of the world are doing things there. What matters is how our Majesty views this matter. The key is
His Majesty’s attitude!”
After saying this, the corner of her mouth slightly raised: "His Majesty's favor for our master is not comparable to that of ordinary ministers. As long as Your Majesty has no other ideas, then, after this spell of magic is over, we can slowly reconcile with these
People settle accounts!”
The two women nodded silently. Since the head of the family has said so, it seems that the crisis is not serious.
"You still have a lot to do!" Xu Caining said: "Whether it is Zhouzhuang or Sihai Commercial Bank, we must clarify the accounts and money and food history on hand as soon as possible. We have to prepare for the worst, that is, His Majesty sends
Let’s check our accounts thoroughly!”
"What if it is found out that our master uses his own money to support the imperial army?"
Li Fuyao widened his eyes and asked, "Will the master be questioned?"
"It's not like asking for guilt!" Xu Caining thought for a while: "However, it is very likely that the master will come back to celebrate the New Year this year. We may all be happy by then, but the master will definitely be very unhappy!"
