Chapter 423 Set the family style! Next
In fact, Song Yi himself is a little guilty, so he borrowed alcohol to discuss family affairs and determine family traditions. There is no doubt that I want to understate the matter in an atmosphere that is not embarrassing.
But the embarrassment is still inevitable. Although several women have no wrong situation, they don't seem to be very enthusiastic and seem to be treating this matter carefully.
Fortunately, Qingyan now has the demeanor of a great lady. She has a big belly and a calm posture. Naturally, Huang Ying has no objection, and Xu Chang has become soft since she followed Song Yi. She has a noble temperament externally, but she is the softest person on the inside.
As for Liu Qingci, after all, she is a latecomer, and she doesn't care much about it. Just as she wanted at the beginning, a garden with children playing is a home. What's more, since she has decided to follow Song Yi all her life, she will no longer care about some things about her reputation. After all, she is a widowed woman, and it's best not to fight...
In the intermittent words, Song Yi chatted with several women in his yard until midnight on the first day of Song Yi's return.
Qingyan has slept very little, but everyone cares about her body. They still go back to their rooms to rest when they are almost chatting. Xu Chang still does not live in Song House for the time being, while Liu Qingci temporarily stays in a guest room.
Although the weather is not very hot, the clothes resting at night are very thin. Song Yi felt the bulging stomach of green smoke through the thin cloth.
Maybe the little guy inside is also resting, so it seems very quiet.
Qingyan said with a delicate expression, "At this time, take a rest quickly. You must be tired."
Song Yi refused to sleep, but leaned Qingyan's head against his chest, and then said apologetically, "Will you be unhappy if you have found so many 'mothers' for the child before he is born?"
Qingyan glanced at him and asked angrily, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Of course it's the truth!" Song Yi couldn't laugh or cry, but his heart was quietly tightened.
Qingyan rubbed gently against his chest for a while, listening to his slightly chaotic heartbeat and said calmly, "Actually, what I'm not happy about is not that you bring women home, but that you are getting higher and higher now... You became the prince, but I was just a woman who came out of the Qinglou... In the past, you didn't feel inferior. That's because although you were very good at that time, you were not as prominent as you are now. Now you are more and more worried about whether you will be bad, which has won your face... But what's more worrying is whether you are outside or not! Tell me about... How are you doing in Yanyun?
Qingyan said what was from her heart. She was indeed getting more and more stressed, because the women in the house were more and more outstanding. She used to think she was good, but now it seems that Huang Ying, Xu Chang or Liu Qingci are not inferior to her. Naturally, she will be worried. After all, she now occupies the position of the eldest lady. Although everyone says that the family is not big or small, it is just a name...
Song Yilian stroked her cloudy hair and said, "You have done well enough. I didn't keep my promise... I won't talk about what happened at the beginning. We will only live in the future. There are more women in the family, but now that the family business is big, there is no need to worry about material things. On the contrary, everyone may have something to do and will not be idle... When people are idle, they will think nonsense, and it is easy to intrigue... I don't allow such a thing to happen to our family, and you don't have to think about it yourself. In the future, you will still be Qingyan, the first lady, I will still be Song Yi, or your husband... Let's slowly set down the family tradition and maintain a good family, which is the right thing!"
"As for Yan Yun, isn't it just a war? Now that you have won, there is no need to fight, but there are more difficult things to do than war... I didn't want to face it before, but now I have to face it! There is a saying that 'the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility'. I have never thought of it, and I would never think that one day I would become such a person, but now I have no choice but to do it! Life is like this. Even if you avoid it carefully, you will inadvertently bump into other traps... Life will never let a person live a perfect and leisurely life. In this case, it's better to weave a net by myself and decide the right to choose!"
"But how hard should it be? If I had a choice, I should have chosen to stay in Luoyang at that time!" Qingyan sighed worriedly, and all her heart was tied to Song Yi.
Song Yi kissed her smooth forehead and said softly, "Staying in Luoyang may be different. Who makes your husband different from people in this world..."
Qingyan said angrly, "I'm not ashamed!" But I don't know the different meanings in Song Yi's words, and Song Yi also enjoys the petty nature of Qingyan and is too lazy to explain or refute.
Although Qingyan's belly is big, it is difficult to stop the close love between the two because of long-lost missing.
Finally, Qingyan lazily arched his head in Song Yi's arms, found a comfortable and reassuring posture, and then slept sweetly!
...
In the days in Yangzhou, a group of people lived happily. The seventh prince and Zhao Jingxue were also specially driven by Song Yi and had a good time! It seems to gradually wake up from that deep sadness.
No one mentions the capital in front of the seventh prince and Zhao Jingxue; no one wants to mention the period of separation in front of Song Yi.
As for the matter of Liu Qingci passing through the door, it seems to be very natural! With past experience, Xu Chang and Liu Qingci's crossing the door seems to be particularly low-key, but some relatives and friends are lively.
Liu Qingci herself is a calm woman, and she hopes to keep a low profile and keep a low profile! Is there anything more worth showing off for her than marrying the King of Yanyun?
And Song Yi also ingeniously created some romantic surprises for them from time to time, such as putting a heart shape with candles in the backyard at night, and Song Yi invited a smart painter to draw 'wedding photos' for himself and several women...
As for the family tradition of the Song family, it was also settled under this harmonious atmosphere. Although it is not perfect, at least the Song family began to have the rules and etiquette of the big family.
In a word, Song Yi tried his best to do everything he could think of, and with his current financial resources, there doesn't seem to be much that he can't do! Of course... It's a complete fantasy to build airplanes and cannons!
Seeing that Qingyan was about to give birth, Song Yi took the time to go to Lin'an with the seventh prince and others and saw Zhao Min in Lin'an.
Zhao Min was much more mature, and her plump figure became more and more beautiful, which made Zuo Qianqian laugh for a long time.
When several people met, it was natural to talk about the past. After asking about business, Song Yi temporarily separated from them, and then took Fu Yao to meet Zheng Hu.
Zheng Hu looked at Song Yi with a smile on his face and said, "Xiaomin Zheng Hu... Should I kneel down and salute when I see King Yan Yun?
Song Yi said angrily, "If you want to kneel down, why would you ask me?" Unexpectedly, even the head of the salt gang has become witty..."
"Haha..." Zheng Hu laughed and then sighed with admiration, "I believe you are very human, but I never thought that you would become a different prince in the State of Zhao so soon! Alas... Things in the world are really mysterious!"
"I'm not looking for you to listen to your praises... There are some things I want to discuss with you!" Song Yi said seriously.
Zheng Hu looked stunned, and then solemnly got up and said, "About Yan Yun?"
"Indeed, it's really refreshing to talk to Master Zheng! The 16 states of Yanyun have been abandoned for a long time. At this time, it requires a huge investment of human and material resources! My prince seems to be extremely beautiful. In fact, Master Zheng, you should know that a prince like me is not even as good as a magistrate... So I want to ask the Lord for help!"
"Hehe... Although there are many salt helpers, there are very few people going to the north. How can I help you? Zheng Hu's expression became meaningful.
"The salt gang has been in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time, but it has never been able to beat the five families in the south of the Yangtze River. It is limited to water transportation, and the road on land is a little narrower! Now, Yanyun has been newly established. With the manpower of the salt gang, the north and south are finally connected, and it may be far from Liaojin and other countries... Isn't this an opportunity?"
"It looks good, but Yanyun is now in a mess. What is worth the salt help to walk this long road?"
"I won't talk about fur, medicinal materials and other things. Did Master Zheng forget that now I am the King of Yanyun, and there are a lot of minerals in Yanyun... If you want to make the salt and iron business great, then transport the salt to the north, and then the north railway to the south... Hey hey, don't you know the interests of Master Zheng? Song Yi smiled with the expression of a market-marketer.
Zheng Hu was slightly stunned and moved. He couldn't help but fall into thinking. After a long time, he asked again, "There were very few people who have walked this road before, and now although the sixteen states of Yanyun have been recovered, Liaojin has not yet destroyed the country, especially the State of Jin. In case the war breaks out again... Isn't the salt gang a great loss?
"Liao people don't mention it. The general trend is gone! At present, the State of Jin must be involved in civil strife in the struggle for power, and it is difficult to fight again in a short period of time. Isn't the length of this time the opportunity for Master Zheng to strive for the greatest benefits? Song Yi said.
"There are so many risks in the middle that even I can't make a decision for a while. Give me some time to think about it!" Zheng Hu frowned and sighed!
Song Yi got up and said, "Think about it slowly. I'm going back to Yangzhou today!" When you figure it out, you can find a way to tell me, and then we will discuss it in detail! By the way... I told Master Zheng something for Yutou Zhang... He has decided to go north!"
Zheng Huteng suddenly stood up, and his eyes were shocked and angry. He stared at Song Yi for a long time before he lowered his anger and said, "Is the fish head Zhang cutting first and then playing or betraying the salt gang? Does he really think that I can't touch him with your back?
"Master Zheng is furious! Fish head Zhang also said, if you are angry... He can hand over all the profits of the salt gang in Yangzhou over the years, and he doesn't want to go north with him. He will let them return to Lin'an!" Song Yi said with a smile.
Zheng Hu's face changed. After a long time, he sat back in the chair and said to Song Yi, "I will think about it carefully and give you an answer soon!"
Song Yi hummed and then left.
Zheng Hu looked complicated and sat in the hall for a long time. He just thought about it for a moment and knew that it was inevitable to go north!
It is not to mention that Jiangnan now has one more seven princes and a garrison. That is, under the expansion of Song Yi's business, in fact, the living space of the salt gang will only become smaller and smaller.
Zheng Hu admired his master's original eyes, but he was helpless. Just because Song Yi's business means are really powerful, now there is the support of the seventh prince and others who are in the south of the Yangtze River!
I'm afraid that the south will be Song Yi's sphere of influence, and Song Yi is now the king of Yanyun in the north, which is simply like adding wings to Song Yi!
Zheng Hu wants the Salt Gang to continue to spread, which is nothing more than two choices: standing opposite Song Yi or standing on Song Yi's side!
He has almost no choice.
