The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

Here is ancient.

Regardless of Hexing Mansion's peaceful and prosperous appearance, other places have always had wars.

In a place like this, there's always something unsettling about not having enough strength in your hands.

Jiang Zhen and Wen Ming went out to sea to do business together. After Wen Ming made money, he either put the money in his home or bought land, but he was different. He was always recruiting and training people.

Up to now, there are thousands of adults under Jiang Zhen's hands with a little kung fu. Some of them work as bodyguards in Jin Zhen Bodyguard Bureau, and some of them go to sea with him.

After he returned from overseas, he gave those who followed him to the sea a few days off, and now, it was time to start training again.

In the mountains near Yabian Village, there is a special training ground, where Jiang Zhen trained his subordinates, and today, he went there early.

In the training ground, hundreds of men headed by Zhu Erlin are already waiting.

It was still early, and they sat lazily on the ground or stakes, and wiped their knives.

When he followed Jiang Zhen, he was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Jiang Ming, who was very reckless, now has a big waist and a round arms and is very stable. What he holds is not a knife, but a spear.

At the beginning, Jiang Zhen didn't have any money, so he asked his subordinates to hold bamboo poles for training and use bamboo poles as weapons. Jiang Ming liked the feeling of stabbing people with bamboo poles. Later, when he got a big knife made of fine steel, he was unwilling Change weapons, and there are several more that are the same as his.

Then, Jiang Zhen asked someone to get some spears for them.

"Jiang Ming, I heard that you are going to marry a wife?" Zhu Erlin looked at Jiang Ming: "Have you seen your wife?"

"You're stupid!" Jiang Ming glanced at Zhu Erlin. His parents told him about his daughter-in-law, and she was from Hecheng County. He got the news no earlier than Zhu Erlin and the others. Could it be possible that he had seen it?

Zhu Erlin looked at Jiang Ming with a sincere look: "Xiao Ming, you must be nice to your wife, otherwise we will go out for several months, and if my wife runs away, there will be nowhere to cry."

"Do you think my wife is willing to run away with my appearance?" Jiang Ming looked at Zhu Erlin: "However, you should be careful."

"I'm looking for a beating!" Zhu Erlin kicked Jiang Ming with a sweep of his legs.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, someone suddenly ran in from outside: "Stop and stop making trouble, tidy up your clothes, hurry up!"

"What's wrong?" Zhu Erlin and Jiang Ming let go of each other and looked over in confusion.

"The boss is here!" the man said.

"The boss will come when he comes." Zhu Erlin said, their boss is even less particular than them. After going to sea last time, he even cut his hair short... If they hadn't been at sea for a long time, they had raised them for five months After being raised, their boss will definitely be scolded when he comes back with such a head of hair!

"Bring Miss!" the man said again.

"Miss?!" Zhu Erlin was startled, stood up quickly, and straightened his clothes.

When Jiang Zhen was at sea, he told people how cute his daughter Zhao Mingzhu was all day long, so that even though they hadn't seen Zhao Mingzhu much, they couldn't help but love this child.

Under such circumstances, they naturally did not want to show their sloppy side in front of Zhao Mingzhu.

Just as Zhu Erlin and the others packed up, Jiang Zhen brought Zhao Mingzhu over.

Zhao Mingzhu, who is over four years old, is not as fat as she was when she was a child, but her face is still a bit round, her eyes are big, and she looks very cute.

"Boss, why did you bring Miss here?" Jiang Ming looked at Jiang Zhen puzzled.

"She will come here every day from now on," Jiang Zhen said.

Jiang Ming and others were a little dumbfounded, let Zhao Mingzhu come over every day? !

Jiang Zhen and Brother Zhao Jing are considered to be respectable people now. Their daughters should be raised in deep boudoirs, served by a group of maids and women, and they are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the housekeeper has dabbled in embroidery. Why... to them?

Isn't their boss afraid of tanning the young lady?

These people were helpless, but Zhao Mingzhu was very interested in everything here.

Wooden towers that can be climbed up and down, high and low wooden piles, meandering across the river, bridges made of ropes...

"Mingzhu, dad will take you here to play today!" Jiang Zhen said to Zhao Mingzhu.

In fact, he wanted to bring Zhao Chengyu, but Zhao Chengyu was less than three years old, so he was too young.

Zhao Mingzhu nodded vigorously.

Some Zhao Mingzhu can "play", but some can't. Jiang Zhen who can play will take her to play with her, and when he can't play, Jiang Zhen will tie her to his chest and go to "play" by himself.

Zhao Mingzhu leaned on Jiang Zhen's chest and giggled, extremely happy.

But Wen Ming came over and saw this scene, but was frightened into a cold sweat.

Jiang Zhen took his daughter and climbed onto such a high wooden stake!

Although he often goes out to sea with the ship, he seldom does what the crew do. He has never climbed the mast before, so he is a little afraid of heights, but this Jiang Zhen...

"Wen Ming, what's the matter?" Jiang Zhen saw that Wen Ming had brought someone over, so he climbed down from the height, and urged his subordinates to continue practicing.

"It's something." Wen Ming said.

Jiang Zhen hugged Zhao Mingzhu, and Wen Ming came to a nearby place where they could rest for a while, and then looked at Wen Ming: "What's the matter?"

"There are two things. One is Wen's boat. If we want to buy it in the future, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." Wen Ming said.There are many things that cannot involve interests. The Wen family originally loved Wen Yingniang very much, but now...

Wen's father, Wen's mother, and several of Wen Yingniang's brothers still have feelings for Wen Yingniang at the moment, and others may not. If the former's feelings are to be maintained, it is best not to involve them any longer. Benefit.

In the future, Jiang Zhen might not be able to buy a boat from Wen's family. Jiang Zhen had already expected it, and even made some preparations, so now he nodded and admitted it: "I know, what else?"

"What's more, Cheng Yongzhen from Pingzhou Prefecture has done a big job." Wen Ming said, "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

Wen Ming talked about it in detail.

This matter has not been spread to the outside world, it was told to him by a police officer from a maritime merchant he knew before.

There is a sea ban in Daqi, which stipulates that no boards can go into the sea.

But the sea merchants are really profitable. If you send an ordinary kitchen knife to Dongyang, you can sell it for a hundred times the price!

Therefore, the local government on the Jiangnan side has been secretly conniving, and finally gave birth to many big businessmen.

And this has a lot to do with the increasing population in the south of the Yangtze River and the serious land annexation-many people cannot rely on farming for a living, so they can only seek life on the sea.

Hexing mansion is better here, and further south, the maritime merchants there are really powerful.

Wen's shipbuilding is very good, but that's all. It's not the most powerful among the sea merchants. The most powerful among the sea merchants right now is Cheng Yongzhen.

Cheng Yongzhen is a native of Pingzhou Prefecture, and has gathered a group of fellow villagers to do maritime trade. After 20 years, he has become the largest maritime merchant, and he can do this because of the support of local officials.

"Cheng Yongzhen is very capable, and he still wants to be an official. It is precisely because of this that many officials in Pingzhou Prefecture in Southern Fujian Province made friends with him and gave him some support. Let those pirates stop doing harm to the coast, but in recent years, he and the officials of the Pingzhou government have become suspicious, so he started to take his men to Ryukyu. Just a few months ago, he said in Ryukyu The king is now, and he calls himself King Ping." Wen Ming said.

After Jiang Zhen started working as a maritime merchant, he naturally paid attention to other maritime merchants, including Cheng Yongzhen.

And according to his understanding of Cheng Yongzhen... Cheng Yongzhen and the people under Cheng Yongzhen's subordinates are somewhat similar to the Liangshan heroes in "Water Margin".

The imperial court has a sea ban, they are doing illegal business, but they want to be recognized by the imperial court, and hope that the imperial court can recruit them... Of course, this is also the unavoidable thought of people in this era.

People at this time always feel that being an official is the best way out.

"He did that?" Jiang Zhen was a little surprised.

"Yes." Wen Ming said: "He is like this, but the imperial court has to pay attention to him. I don't know if the imperial court will recruit him as he wishes."

"It's hard." Jiang Zhen said, "In the future, we have to be more careful."

Jiang Zhen's maritime business is not just for making money, in fact... he wants to find a way out for himself overseas.

If he has the Jinzhen Escort Bureau, a sea-going ship, and finds a place overseas where he can settle down, he will be able to flee with his family if there is a war in Daqi in the future...

Because of this, when he first heard about what Cheng Yongzhen did, he still thought that Cheng Yongzhen might want to do the same thing as himself, but soon, he realized that it was not the case.

"We won't sail long distances for the time being, and we only do business with Dongyang, which is fine." Wen Ming said.

Jiang Zhen nodded, thinking that it would be better for him to find more people and train them.

It is said that Cheng Yongzhen has 10 people under his command. Compared with others, he is still a little small.

Cheng Yongzhen's incident did not affect the business of Jiang Zhen and Wen Ming. After all the merchants who were supposed to come were here, they sold all the goods in their hands and made a lot of money.

After all the goods were sold, Jiang Zhen and Wen Ming packed up their things and took their families back to Hexing Mansion.

In modern times, if you haven't been home for a few months, you may find that there is an extra building when you go back, but this time is different.

Hexing Mansion is still the same, that is, there are many more "Zhen" flags on the pier than before.

Jiang Zhen got off the boat with his two children, and several carriages arrived immediately.

"I used to suffer when I went out to see relatives, but now everything has changed." Zhao Liu used to live by the seaside with Zhao Jinge and his children, but this time they went back to Fucheng together, and now they can't bear it. Live sighed.

I used to suffer so much when I traveled far away!But now, everything has changed, it's a boat and a carriage, it's so easy.

Jiang Zhen smiled, and helped Zhao Liushi to the carriage, but he himself got on the horse next to him.

He prefers riding a horse to riding a carriage.

And when he was riding a horse, he picked up Zhao Mingzhu.These days, Zhao Mingzhu was led around by him climbing up and down. Not only was he not afraid of riding a horse, but he was very happy.

Everyone on the pier saw the scene here, and at this moment someone asked, "Who are these people?"

"You don't even know them? Did you see the one on the horse? That's the head of the Jin Zhen Escort Bureau!"

"The chief escort of Jin Zhen Escort? So young?"

"Yeah, that's how young! Besides, besides Jin Zhen Escort, they are also maritime merchants. I heard that they have made countless money."

"It's amazing!"

……

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd. In the crowd, a young man in his 30s, dressed as a scholar in an old robe, looked at the pier in a daze.

This person is Liao Qinghe.

What Liao Qinghe was looking at was not Jiang Zhen, but the Wen family who came back with Jiang Zhen.

Wen Yingniang is pregnant again...

After learning that Wen Yingniang was pregnant, he once suspected it was a fake, thinking that it was impossible for him not to have a baby. For this reason, he deliberately took in two maids.

However, for three years, those two maids have never been pregnant, but Wen Yingniang, she and her husband obviously get together less often, but they are pregnant again.

Looking at the pregnant Wen Yingniang from a distance, Liao Qinghe felt extremely bitter.

Sometimes, when you own something, you can only see its shortcomings, but when you lose it, you can't help but miss its goodness, and even beautify it again and again in your memory.

In the past, Liao Qinghe disliked Wen Yingniang very much, and felt that she had made him lose face, but now when he recalls...

When they were newly married, Wen Yingniang also treated him tenderly.

Later, although the two often quarreled and he came home drunk, Wen Yingniang always prepared sober tea for him.

For so many years, Wen Yingniang had always been his closest person, but now, he lost him.

Liao Qinghe stumbled towards the house, but as soon as he entered the door, he heard the sound of arguing from the house.

"You scold! Keep scolding if you have the ability! If you scold again, I will go out and yell, saying that my child does not belong to your family!" Lu Luan's voice was the loudest.

Liao's mother muttered, but she didn't dare to continue scolding.

Even though they had already lost face, they were still reluctant to tear off the fig leaf on their faces, so that they had to keep Lu Luan at home, and even her child.

"You'd better treat my daughter better in the future, she is the only blood in your family!" Lu Luan continued without giving up.

Mother Liao's expression froze.

Seeing Lu Luan's complacent look, Liao Qinghe wished he could go up and slap her twice. However, thinking of her threats, he dared not move.

He didn't want it to be known that he couldn't have children.

For this, he even pretended to be infatuated with Wen Yingniang, cultivated his morals, and never married again.

Liao's mother had always had nothing to do with Lu Luan. In the end, she could only curse and let Liao Qing and the other two concubines go to work.

These two used to be maids by Wen Yingniang's side, and they had always liked Liao Qinghe very much. When Lu Luan appeared, they even protected Lu Luan, so Wen Yingniang did not take them away.

Later, they got into Liao Qinghe's bed as they wished, but the life they lived was not even comparable to being maids for Wen Yingniang.

The Liao family is now impoverished, and all the servants have been driven away. They not only have to do rough work like pouring Yexiang, but also spin and weave to support the family, and they grow old soon.

If I knew today, why was it in the first place?
