Although she had only been out for three months, Li Chongrun still felt a little timid in the homesickness.
When the paddle steamer was about to arrive in Yangzhou, it was already very late, and there was no moon. The vast stars were set against the tide that surged up, as if they were hanging in the sky, very low.
The ditch seems to be a little silted, and it does not become much wider with the rising tide.
"Let's find some people to communicate with you."
Several newly built trestles at the wharf of the West Factory. Although it was already night, it was still brightly lit. Several boats under the banner of the platoon were leaning on the trestle. Seeing the crowds of people, they should be unloading goods.
The dock was preparing for the ceremonial guards. When he saw the paddle steamer entering the port with a breath, Li Chongrun had already started singing before he got off the boat.
"When Mr. Wei transferred to Shendu, he said that, but his business has been a little busy recently and his family has not yet made any moves."
Xie Da has recently been promoted to the manager of the West Factory, and he no longer has to smoke the wine in the winery, his eyes are red and his eyes are red.
"There are so many rich people in Yangzhou, Mr. Wei cannot just focus on our family to make money."
Li Chongrun joked and handed Xianhui who was already asleep in his arms to the factory guards beside him, holding the carriage that had already been sleepy and wore her sleepy eyes on the carriage home.
Although it is late autumn, Yangzhou, which is in Jiangbei, has always claimed to be in Jiangnan, is still full of green.
"Come back?"
The fireworks along the way had already told Li Chongrun that he had come back from the mansion, so when he saw Wang Rong waiting for him at the gate of Suiyuan, Li Chongrun was not surprised.
"Here I'm back."
"But it's still going well?"
"It's okay. Not only did I save Yubi, I also helped her get some more financial resources."
The main entrance of Suiyuan was open, but because it was late at night and there was a pregnant woman waiting for delivery at home, Li Chongrun's prince's ceremonial guard was signaled to withdraw before Li Chongrun could even be spread out.
"The prince is back home."
However, Li Chongrun's kindness was still wasted, and Fang'er and Alan had already come out to greet them with their big belly.
"Fortunately, I came back, and I finally missed my life. It was so cold that I didn't rest in the room?"
"Sister Fang'er is quicker, there is still half a month left, and Alan will have to give birth to a child." Wang Rong and Li Chongrun greeted the two pregnant women and explained from the side. "Wei'er gave birth a few days ago, afraid that
The child cried and quarreled until his two sisters were moved back from the villa of the tenant camp."
"Oh, is Jianzhen the queen? Boy and girl?"
Li Chongrun helped the two pregnant women slowly walk towards the bedroom, talking about idle stories with them along the way.
"Boy, seven pounds and two ounces, she was so excited when she cried, and her appetite was too big. Wei'er didn't have enough water. She also specially invited two nurses to feed her to eat her whole body."
"It's good to eat, it's a blessing to eat."
Wang Rong's eyes dodged slightly, and Li Chongrun guessed that there must be something to say, and helped Fang'er and Alan back to the house to rest. Li Chongrun used the excuse to take a bath, so he escaped from the two pregnant women. As soon as he entered the study,
I found that Wang Rong was indeed waiting for her.
"His princess and Aunt Shangguan have sent a lot of letters, saying that the court has been in a state of power recently, which seems to be very unfavorable to us. Wei Gong transferred to Shendu and has now entered the Suzhengtai (the Censorate, which was changed to the madman Wu Zetian, and was renamed the Mad Devil Wu Zetian.
...It's good if you get used to it.) Ren Yousuzheng. There is no news about the new Yangzhou governor, so I don't know who it will be."
Wang Rong was not very interested in politics, but since Li Chongrun was not here, Wei Gong transferred to Shendu again, and the matter in the mansion was left to her to deal with. Originally, Fang'er could still follow the staff, but she would follow her.
As the due date is approaching, and the recent news is not very worry-free, so Wang Rong didn't bother her and pressed them all down by herself.
"No matter who it is, if you can't spend money, just find a way to deal with him and you have to replace him with your own people."
Li Chongrun flipped his aunt's letter in his hand and replied to Wang Rong without raising his head.
However, Wang Rong didn't reply to her words for a long time. Li Chongrun looked up at Wang Rong curiously and found that she was looking at her strangely.
"Is my face dirty?"
"It's not dirty, but if you put it before you can't say such things."
"It's just that I figured out some things when I was in Linyi."
"What did you understand?"
"Sometimes, the iron chain may not be as thick as I imagined."
Li Chongrun smiled, lowered his head again and looked at the letter in his hand.
"What iron chain? After going to Linyi, why did you learn to play puzzles?"
Wang Rong didn't understand what Li Chongrun was saying for a moment. When she saw the figure of Guer flashing past outside, she simply went out to ask Guer who followed Li Chongrun to solve the puzzle.
My aunt has the most letters. The most recent letters arrived just two days ago. Wang Rong said it right, but the recent news is indeed not very good.
My aunt is in good health because her father's palace has been repaired and she has moved to her new home with her recently, so her aunt finally returned home to live.
My father still went fishing by the Luoshui all day long, looking like he was lying flat, completely ignoring the government affairs, and never saw foreign guests on weekdays.
I only visited him once when Di Gong was sick.
Di Gong was sick, but it didn't take too long and he recovered soon. The aunt didn't know what disease Di Renjie had, so she said that he lost a lot when he came back to court, but it seemed that he had been fat recently.
Some more.
However, the Censorate seems to be disliked recently. Although the Censor is mostly a child from a poor family, he usually follows Di Renjie and Shangguan Wan'er, but he seems to be a little disobedient recently.
Previously, Li Chongrun, a Yingzhou acted almost like an order. Several indignant censors wanted to submit a memorial to Li Chongrun's book, but they were stopped by Shangguan Wan'er.
However, Li Chongrun just went to Linyi recently. Zhenla and several envoys from the vassal states went to Honglu Temple to make trouble, saying that Li Chongrun killed King Zhenla without permission, which was arrogance and suspected of being usurped.
Somehow, several censors were stimulated by this incident and began to frequently impeach Li Chongrun, with all charges ranging from competing for profit with the people to disrespectful orders.
According to those censors, Yangzhou is now in a state of desolation and people are living in vain, and the Zhenla King, who was bombarded by cannons, is a rare and precious version of Bao Qingtian who is dedicated to the court.
The Minister of the Land Office (the Ministry of Revenue) Because Li Chongrun made money in Yangzhou, he earned hundreds of thousands of more taxes in vain. KPI was completely out of pressure, so he said a few good words to Li Chongrun. As a result, he was assigned to him by the censor.
Li Chongrun, all kinds of words came flying like snowflakes. The old man couldn't caress his face, so he even quit.
Then the new local official Shangshu was actually the father of Wang Rong, who was an adjutant under Wang Siye of the Ministry of Rites. However, Wang's father-in-law has not yet been under pressure, so he did not come out to speak up for Li Chongrun, which was the only way to overturn the crowd.
The censor, who was targeted by Li Chongrun, escaped.
Fortunately, His Majesty later transferred the governor of Yangzhou to his heart and asked questions, and appointed Duke Wei as the adjutant of the Censorate. The censors of all sizes thought about it and calmed down these nonsense storms.
However, my aunt did not say in her letter, who will be the new Yangzhou governor.
His Royal Highness has fewer letters, and the main purpose is two. One is to arrange for Li Chongrun to let his unfair eldest son stay in Linyi for more time. However, I heard that His Royal Highness is pregnant with another one at the age of nearly thirty-five.
I think it's because I'm afraid that the husband from the Wu family will have ideas.
Second, Feng Yiwei seems to have some problems recently. His Royal Highness has not found out what was wrong, and the letter did not say it clearly. However, from the meaning between the lines, Li Chongrun suspected that many families of aristocratic families were infiltrated into Feng Yiwei.
The detailed work of the people of Wuling.
There is another news that Song Zhiwen came from. The news was very short, but it scared Li Chongrun into a cold sweat.
