Chapter 176 will kiss the ass
Zeng Peiying silently for a moment, then said: “adults, there is something else I don’t know if you have considered, this Cheng Yunhui is a woman’s family, in the future her family business will be inherited by her daughter, this single sale is signed by the court and them, if the shipbuilding process the court also step in to solve the matter of the Lin family on her behalf, what kind of impact will this cause in the court?”
He Zong paused.
Zeng Peiying then said, “Since the founding of this dynasty, women have become more and more informal, in the previous dynasty more than twenty years ago, like Cheng Yunhui’s mother and daughter, this ship in the name of a woman to show her face to do business is simply impossible. At that time, the people’s culture is so pure and simple, what the inner house is not peaceful, the woman resistance such a rare thing, and you look at today? They can openly come out to work as a laborer, they can sit at the same table with men to talk about business, like Wu Lanfeng, and even use her husband’s family’s heir to support the gateway to her mother’s family, isn’t this against it?
“Letting the Wu family mother and daughter take this job, this is a last resort situation, for them it’s already very humiliating, if the court still steps in to help them deal with the Lin family, then how can they still be angry? How much bad influence will this bring to the people? By then the folk will be full of such disputes!”
He Zong was a staunch defender of propriety, how could he not understand what Zeng Peiying was saying?
But these things had been considered long before the decision was made, and were no longer anything new.
“Nonetheless, it is a hopeless situation. Our purpose is to build ships, and to deliver them to the Department of Maritime Affairs at an early date, the head of the dockyard is a woman, this is something that can’t be changed, can you still find another person for their family to take over the work? To oppose, at that time to oppose, rather than halfway obstruction, so not only appear to me He Zong no temperament, but also will give the future of these years of construction period buried contradictions!
“This matter does not need to be mentioned again, the previous one carefully modified! Bring it to me again!”
He Zong flicked his sleeve, already stopped the topic.
Zeng Peiying said yes, dusty face back out.
Walked to the door to see the shrinking head waiting governor, he made a wink, the two of them in the opposite direction, went to the governor’s residence.
There was already someone waiting in the residence, a man in his forties in a silk shirt. Seeing them come over, the man took three steps to welcome them: “Two adults, I wonder what the result is on Mr. He’s side?”
“Don’t you mention it,” the governor sat down in obscurity, “Lord Zeng was just criticized severely at Lord He’s place for this matter. –You go back, go back! That’s the end of this matter!”
“It’s actually in this state?”
After the man finished speaking, he hurriedly pulled out silver tickets from his pocket and stuffed them in his arms, “This matter absolutely cannot be left like this, Your Excellency still has to have a term of several years in Cangzhou, right? In the future, the grass people and the adults will have to come and go often, this favor the adults must help the grass people!”
The governor raised his hand to push this silver ticket outward, squinted at the face value of this silver ticket, the momentum fell again. He sighed: “really is not refuse to help, this official and Zeng adults really is the best effort, He adults side has been unable to get off the stage – earlier in the Yamen, the Zhao guards will be a good He adults complained bitterly, the hall of the Ministry of Public Works, a sentence can not come back up, all the way back to the Zhao guards to block the dead, you make What else can we do? If you want to blame, go blame that guard Zhao, without her today, things would have been done!”
The governor leaned into the back of his chair bereft.
“You’re talking about that great lady of the Marquis of Qingyun who urged Wu to take over this errand?”
“Who else could it be besides her?”
The man was also speechless.
After sitting in silence for a moment, he still pulled out two silver bills and stuffed them to the governor: “In any case, your honor has worked hard, and some silver taels will be given to your honor as a tea fee. If there’s still a chance, I’ll ask you to fight for me again.”
“What are you polite about ……”
The governor wanted to push the money back, but the man pressed his hand, then turned around and walked away.
When his back was gone, the governor also stuffed the money into his arms.
Wu Lanfeng was tickled by that earlier conversation with Zhao Su, and after returning to the house and explaining some things down to Yu Zan, she lay down on the bed with her clothes on.
When Yu Zhan came back, she brought in lunch on the way. When she saw him lying down, she thought she was uncomfortable and reached over to probe her forehead. Wu Lanfeng held her hand and sat up, ”Perhaps Miss Su is right, child or no child, for the time being, there is no need to think so much. Even if there is a child, who knows what can happen afterward? He treats me like this, it’s not worth it for me to be depressed over him.”
Yuzan’s spirit rose: “Grandmother has figured it out?”
Wu Lanfeng mused, “Originally, I could have gone ahead with the original plan, but the Ministry of Public Works paperwork earlier gave me a wake-up call, and that’s why I’m taking on an Imperial Court errand, and there’s no room for error. After signing the paperwork, I’ll have to take responsibility and not let anything go wrong with the ship. I have to be quick and disassociate myself from the Lin family as soon as possible, so that I can avoid some hidden dangers.”
Yu Zan nodded, “Grandmother has also considered this very well, the old master and wife have been pressuring you to not allow you and the third master to divorce, if in the event that you become pregnant in the future and they learn of it, they will surely block it in every way possible. The key to the third master’s side does not know how Aunt Liu instigated it!”
Wu Lanfeng composed herself, “Is he at home?”
“Doesn’t seem to be. But Master seems to have come back just now.”
“Grandmother,” as the words came out, a maid picked open the curtain and walked in, “Mistress’s side asks if you’ve had your meal yet? If you haven’t, then please go over after the meal, Mistress has something to say.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Lanfeng glanced at the food on the table and said to Yu Zan, “That would be great. I’ll eat first, you go back to the Wu family and tell mother what I just said, when you come back I’ll go directly to see madam and mention this to her.”
Yuzan nodded and got up.
Wu Lanfeng called out again, “On your way, go to the post house again and look for Miss Su, tell her what I said, so that she can have a clear idea in her heart.”
……
The emperor finished blowing the “fishing boat sings the evening”, and at Zhao Su’s request blew a current tune, Zhao Su came to the energy, but also to listen to, but he took the corrections and refused to blow again, had to let Zhao Su properly served after the tea and rice he was willing to consider.
It is rare to have such a skillful and eye-catching musician, how could Zhao Su not listen? Anyway, in the palace, she often had to do this kind of hard labor.
So really held up chopsticks standing under the bed of Luo Han, to give him food. This guy, however, took up again: “Don’t you think it’s strange to stand like this?”
“…… then to how?”
The emperor pointed to the opposite side: “You have to sit down, so as not to trace.”
Zhao Su then had to sit down.
The emperor looked at the fatty fish belly meat she handed over and added: “Try the poison for me first.”
Zhao Su was speechless. How could a meal that Han Jun had ordered be poisoned? He only gave him a try last night, and now he’s spreading the errand?
He’s really good at sticking his nose in the air!
