Four years later.

Wen Daoyong was carrying the cloth schoolbag designed for him by his father, and he almost flew into the sky when he flung it, running fast all the way, like a wild horse running wild.

He returned home from the school, and after lunch, he had to go to two more classes in the afternoon.

When he ran into the Hou's mansion, he bumped into Liandong who was leaving the mansion with the file in his head. He staggered, and after seeing the person clearly, he quickly stood up straight, holding his head upright, posing in the usual manner. With the demeanor taught by Abba, I nodded and said hello: "Uncle Dong."

Liandong is now in charge of a lot of things in the Hou's mansion. The older he is, the more experienced he is, and the calmer he does things. Wen Le also slowly confessed to him many things that he was worried about handing over to him before. Facts have proved that Lonicera is indeed very talented. After he has been familiar with any official duties for a period of time, he can do them in an orderly manner.

Liandong paid Wen Daoyong with a smile, lowered his head and asked softly: "Young Master, please run slowly. Today, Sir and Lord Mai are both in the mansion. If they run into each other in a while, he will not easily pretend to be invisible." Woolen cloth."

Wen Daoyong blushed, nodded and said: "I know."

At his age, it is natural for him to escape, but he is constrained by his status and has to carry some. Besides, he cares a lot about his father's opinion of him. If Wen Le frowned at him, it would be worse than whipping him People are uncomfortable.

He is quite familiar with Mai Lingtong and others. The daughters of Mai Lingtong and Dala, the official families, all study in the same school with him. In the school, Mr. Wu's wives and concubines manage a "women's workshop" together. Some of these female wives are the wives and relatives of the officers and soldiers that Wen Le brought back from Dadu, and some are local educated women, and they are not a problem.Although this is contrary to the Confucian advocacy that "women are virtuous without talent", Fuchun, a small place, is sometimes more enlightened than those crowded with people in most cities.

When Wen Daoyong thought of that little girl from Mai's family, he hummed in his heart, that shrew, who often pulled her own hair during Cuju, was really unreasonable!

Seeing Liandong hurriedly leaving with the file in his arms, he thought for a moment, then turned around and walked towards Wen Le's yard.

Wen Run didn't go to sea at this time, and he didn't have to do many things himself. In Fuchun, he could handle at least half of Wen Le's official duties, which also gave Wen Le more time to take care of things other than official duties. It is a good example of a husband and wife working together without getting tired.

Wen Le was negotiating with Mai Lingtong about the reinforcement of the Fuchun city wall. He repaired the city gate to nearly double the thickness, reinforced the gate, and installed the newly developed improved cannon at a certain distance.Mai Lingtong didn't know what this thing was, but he was used to obeying Wen Le's command, and he didn't even have any doubts about Cannon's Anza from the beginning to the end.The reinforcement of the city wall did not happen overnight. Although Fuchun faces the sea on both sides, it still faces the mountains on both sides. There is no doubt that Fu Chuncheng will still fall.

Wen Le and Wen Run exchanged glances, Wen Run sighed, took out a small porcelain bottle from his cuff and handed it to Mai Lingtong.

Mai Lingtong took the palm-sized white porcelain vase in a daze, touched the small lid with one hand, and asked, "What is this?"

"Miasma medicine," Wen Le thought of a name casually, seeing that he immediately stopped his hand about to uncork the bottle, he couldn't help smiling: "Old Wen bought it from overseas, and it was produced in Duolun's country. This stuff It's not fatal. You can find someone to drink the antidote I gave you in a while, and use a piece of cotton to apply the antidote every fifty steps in the forest where the city wall cannot be built. It can last for a year. If there is no antidote , People who smell this smell will be in a trance, lose their attack power, and if you tease him, he will meow like a cat."

Mai Lingtong trembled, and his view of the hometown of those yellow-haired devils became more and more strange.

Wen Run glanced at Wen Le, who looked innocent, and silently mourned in his heart for Duo Lun and the others who always took the blame for no reason, but in person, he naturally couldn't tear down the stage, and just smiled condescendingly.

Mai Lingtong carefully put the porcelain vase into his arms, and he was fiddling with the clothes next to him, so he had to keep it very carefully, he didn't want to meow like a cat.Then he pushed the dossier that was originally placed on the stone table towards Wen Le, and said: "This is an urgent letter from Lin'an Mansion recently, it seems to be the account book at the end of the season, there is such a thick stack. "

"Have the ingredients been sent to them?"

"Subordinates naturally dare not forget."

Only then did Wen Le open the file, and he didn't shy away from showing Wen Run the numbers. He and Lu's jewelry workshops have opened all over Dali. There are two in Jinling alone, one in Dadu, one in Lin'an, one in Luoyang, The Zhou family and the Chang'an family, the jewelry store alone, brought him innumerable income every year, not to mention the cosmetics shop that he promoted and opened up, which was called a "Fragrant Powder House", selling flowers, essential oils, perfumes, etc. Dried flower sachets, creams and powders for wiping the face, etc., women's money is especially good, and the harvest in this area is only a lot more than "jewelry".

A bottle of flower essential oil, the blooming flowers he brought from Lizhou, plus oil and distillation, even if the annual production of osmanthus is the least, the cost of each small bottle is no more than the usual money, and as long as you let go, this bottle of the usual money essential oil It can be sold at a high price of 20 taels of silver. If you add special spices bought in the mall and make it into perfume, you can use a glass fiber reinforced plastic spray bottle with a beautiful appearance that is less than two coins in the mall. It is required to engrave patterns on the bottle body in batches, then the price of this bottle of essential oil can be more than doubled after processing and refining.

Besides, the balm is just essential oils and fats, plus some moisturizing powders that are not expensive in the mall. Aliens also pay attention to beauty. In terms of skin quality, there is no doubt that the Federation Stars who have cooperated for a long time are even more serious. People fit.The price of this bottle of balm is also low, but it can be sold at a high price no less than a bottle of essential oil, and because of supply constraints, wives from aristocratic families in various cities flock to it. The cream has become a very decent tool used by the upper-class ladies for comparison!

On this basis, some limited editions will be released, such as the limited edition powder box and cream bottle of the four beauties, or the limited essential oil bottle and perfume bottle of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. But rather expensive custom-made accessories, the management of these two industries really made Lu Changan admire Wen Le.

Wen Run said: "The bank notes for this season were only delivered last month, why did they come again this month?" He remembered last month when he saw a thick stack of bank notes worth 200 million taels poured out of the envelope , still couldn't help being surprised again in his heart, the business came in so fast, which he never expected before.

Wen Le opened the envelope, but what came out was not a bank note, but a stack of letter paper. He glanced at it casually, and there were a few sketched and beautiful calligraphy in it, and a few more pictures. The style of the pearl hairpin is vivid, and the rest is the letter written by Lu Changan to him.

Wen Le read it once, then nodded clearly: "You are asking me for a new limited edition perfume bottle."

Wen Run was stunned: "It took half a month for the last batch to be shipped to Lin'an, why did he want it again?"

"It is said that Lin'an's goods were robbed within two days, and even those sent to Luoyang were misappropriated and sold by him in a moment of confusion. Now the women in Luoyang have heard the news and go to the shop to urge them every day. This old bastard, with He said he had to calm down, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen."

Wen Runbai glanced at him, and Wen Le recognized the fact that he was cheap and good-looking, and no one dared to recognize the first.

The style of the pearl hairpin is the new season's new style that he used to show Wen Le, and it uses the small dark green gem that Wen Le just sent.The sold-out limited edition bottle already had a prototype in the previous issue, and this time I sent only the bottle pattern to be used next time. He seems to want to focus on the auspicious words of blessing, wealth, longevity, happiness, so the shape of the bottle Naturally, you have to change it, it is better to be honest and steady.

He smiled, threw the paper back on the table indifferently, nodded and said: "This is a good pattern, I will give a set to my mother when it comes out." Seeing Mai Lingtong looking at him eagerly, she was happy again , "Naturally, you are indispensable."

Mai Lingtong thanked him with a smile. He has been with Wen Le until now, and he has enjoyed a lot of sweetness. Wen Le rewarded him with 100 taels of 100 taels, not to mention the wealthy wives of the clan that his wife often gets. It may not be a limited-edition treasure that can be snatched. Once this thing is brought back to the house every day, the wife will definitely reward him with a big bowl.

After Mai Lingtong left, Wen Le sighed, closed his eyes and murmured on Wen Run's shoulder: "I'm exhausted."

Wen Run hugged his shoulders, touched his forehead lightly, and asked, "Where did you get the barrier medicine you gave Mai Lingtong just now?"

In fact, it came from the mall, but Wen Le couldn't tell the truth, so he could only pretend to have discovered the secret and laughed: "How do you know I'm bluffing him? I asked people to study it by themselves, and it was a coincidence." The result of a mistake."

Wen Run twitched the corners of his mouth, and didn't get into it. He knew that some of Wen Le's subordinates were doing secret things. Those cannons, artillery, etc., all came out of those people. The reason why Le entrusts this important task.

Thinking of the people from Duolun who came back to Fuchun a few days ago, he changed the subject and asked again: "Duolun, can you arrange the goods you need to prepare? Last time I heard them say that they will leave soon. gone."

"They want to do my balm business, and they brought their perfume to show me. Blind! You don't know that smell, it can kill a cow." He vaguely recalled the seemingly extremely distant past life, he came into contact with Many foreigners in China also wear strong and pungent perfume. It is said that it is to cover up body odor. Some people say that this is because their sense of smell is not sensitive. In short, as a man, Wen Le is most afraid of smelling a woman wearing that perfume , It really is the smell that can waft ten miles away.

Now Duolun and the others seem to have accepted their desire to explore. With their favorite sailing trips, they mainly focus on the special products that are sold between countries, such as tea. Dali tea is especially popular in Japan. Every tael can be exchanged for a considerable amount of jewelry, and the jewelry styles that Wen Le is now selling, as well as essential oils, balms, and creams, are also quite popular in his country.Duo Lun first started doing business with Wen Le two years ago. Every time he goes down, he can and can earn Wen Le no less than a branch. The two parties have a relationship of interest, and the relationship has become closer.

They will set off again in less than a month. Now Duolun already has two ships, one was purchased in the local shipyard in Fuchun, and each ship is loaded with a lot of cargo.In order to prevent water bandits, he would also regularly buy artillery from Wen Le.Of course Wen Le won't sell him the most advanced ones, but obviously it won't be a problem for the enemy, because most of them are things that Wen Le bought from the mall, so even if they take them back to their own country, outsiders will definitely not be able to buy them. developed the same approach.

This kind of partner Wen Le, who can bring considerable profits but will not leave much trouble, naturally likes it very much. This time, he has to take Wen Le's balm of about 20 taels of silver and the cannon fire of about 2 taels of silver. (Pao Huo Wen Le sells very expensively), and bought a new expensive ship. Apart from friendship, he is also a pretty good big customer.

Wen Le tilted her head and kissed Wen Run's cheek, and teased him with a smile: "Diana and the others didn't come this time, why are you still so jealous?"

Wen Run buried his head in his neck, and sighed after a long while: "Mother invited a matchmaker to visit again a few days ago."

Wen Le also froze when he heard the words, just when he was about to speak, he heard Wen Daoyong's soft and milky voice coming from the side: "Father, what are you doing with Uncle?"

Wen Le raised his head suddenly, and sure enough, he saw the little bastard standing there stupidly carrying his army green schoolbag strap. The eight or nine-year-old child was tall and fast because of his regular breastfeeding. Nowadays, children in Fuchun are generally twelve years old He is three years old, but his mind is not much higher than that of children of the same age. The only advantage is that his personality is not playful and his behavior is calm enough.

Wen Le still has some experience in dealing with him, so she was not in a hurry at all, and after sitting upright in Wen Run's arms, she waved to him: "Yong'er, come here."

Yong'er's schoolbag was dragged on the ground, and a gust of wind ran over and threw him into his arms.

He didn't know it before, but he realized how different the way he and his father get along was after he went to school.He didn't reveal his identity easily in the school, and he had many friends. The boys all mentioned his father's discoloration. Some time ago, a boy who was older than him asked his father to break his leg, saying that it was because of his back. Before "Mencius" came out, his father thought that he was messing around in the school all day long and had no intention of studying. One day he accidentally told his father to sleep with him in his arms at night, which really made the group of boys envious of him flow to the ground.

He used to think that without a mother, he had a miserable life experience, but now it seems that he has taken up all the blessings in the world. He doesn't have to worry about the shortage of food and clothing, and he never lacks the harmony of the family that he should have. His grandmother only has one grandson, Pampered to the bottom of his heart, the uncles and uncles in the family did not have a different heart, and his father was the most reasonable and knowledgeable in this world. Could it be that he was the son of Guanyin in his previous life?Bah, bah, dad wouldn't collude with Master Guanyin.

Wen Le asked him: "What did you learn in the school today?"

Wen Daoyong did not doubt that there was him, and immediately forgot the picture he saw, and instead concentrated on answering: "Mr. today talked about monarchs and ministers, and he taught me to be loyal to the emperor, and my son didn't think so."

Wen Le snorted softly, "This is the essence of it. If you think it's wrong, come back and discuss it with me. If I think it's wrong, you don't have to listen. But it's not easy to speak out in person. Although it is so If you tell the truth, your husband won’t listen to you.” He thought to himself, maybe he can talk to Mr. Wu and let him accept these brainwashing and loyal things.He didn't want the people of Fu Chun to stay close to the wise sage in three words.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two of them took Yong'er to find Webster for dinner.

Webster is now at the age where she can take care of her life. After Wen Le reached the crown, her life has become more and more leisurely. When she is free, she always wants to find something to do, so she thinks about starting a family for her sons all day long. .

Wen Le pushed her back a few times with the excuse of being busy with work. She looked a little disappointed, but she was never extinguished by the rejection.

Sometimes Wen Le was so annoyed that he wanted to confess to her, but out of rational considerations, he and Wen Run silently endured it.On Wen Run's side, she didn't have such great enthusiasm. After being excused once by him with the internal injury of retiring marriage, she didn't bother again. Only Wen Le was harassed by his portraits from time to time, and all the paintings in it were round faces and small eyes. The ancient beauties who don't understand the facial features are really suffocating people.

In front of the main room, the brothers happened to meet a matchmaker with heavy make-up coming out of it. Because Wen Le had always been indifferent to the outside world, she was more interested in the gentle-looking Wen Run, and she posted it to exchange some greetings. The person quickly dodged.

The two brothers looked at each other with helpless wry smiles in their eyes, so they could only go into the room without talking too much.

But soon, they found that their worries up to now were all superfluous. In reality, there are always various gods unfolding, which made them unable to think more.

This night, Wen Run hastily wrote a letter and came to find Wen Le, remonstrating the county king... No, the remonstrating prince wrote about the recent situation in Dadu in the letter, complaining that the emperor was alienated from him because of the empress giving birth to a dragon son .This is the emperor's first son who has lived to be two years old. Even in a place as far away as Fuchun, there are many people who say that this prince is really lucky. If there is no accident, according to the emperor's favor, he will not be a prince. That's the odd thing.

King Jianjun should really be in a hurry. Wen Le heard a lot of his gossip when traveling to and from Lin'an and other places. Royal affairs have always been very popular with the people. It's not just talking casually.Prince Admonishment, step by step after the emperor's ascension to the current position of holding military command and power, can be regarded as a quite legendary figure, but I don't know if he stepped on shit during this period, and he will no longer have the good luck of previous years , quarreled with the emperor in the palace several times and was kicked out. Some time ago, even his princess was fined by the emperor to copy the Tao Te Ching a hundred times. It was really embarrassing.

No one knew what happened inside the fortified palace walls, but judging from the letter sent by Prince Jian, it was obvious that he and the emperor had begun to have conflicts emotionally.

Prince Jian is not a law-abiding person, the Wen family brothers knew this from the very beginning.Although he seems a little underachievered because of his disability, he has always been quite ambitious.Wen Run hated him, so he naturally guessed the worst of him, thinking that he could occupy a place in the palace with his lame leg when the emperor favored the prince, and even made the two brothers give up on him. It can be cruel and ruthless, and at the same time give everyone a good image of getting out of the mud, the city is really unfathomable.That's why Wen Run never chooses to fight him head-on, letting the self-deceiving prince remonstrate with his sense of guilt and has to take care of the Wen family, but if the emperor makes him untrustworthy now, the treacherous situation in Dadu is not full of words People who gossip can guess at will.

In recent years, Yuan soldiers outside the pass are always ready to move, and occasionally they will enter the border pass to plunder when it is not well-guarded, preventing thieves from stealing but not thinking about thieves.Coupled with the vastness of the country, every year there are various difficulties in various places, such as droughts, floods, earthquakes, or infectious diseases.Being an emperor is not so easy, at least the new emperor has been thinking about it until now, and he has no time to concentrate on killing the Wen family who are now insignificant to him.

It's just that Wen Le doesn't understand what the Prince Admonishment intends to do. He has never missed a letter from Wen Run's side, one every two months.At the other end, he confronted the emperor again and again, holding military power in his hands. Maybe the emperor thought his anger was caused by his lover. It doesn't look like someone who wants to think about it. If he is expressing guilt in order to win the trust of the emperor by saying that he is gentle, this appearance does not seem to be the case.

In fact, Wen Run doesn't explain many things clearly to Wen Le. Although Fuchun is under Wen Le's jurisdiction, as long as Da Du is involved, Wen Run doesn't want Wen Le to get involved.This is a kind of protection, but it can also be said that Wen Run acts as a... man, as a man's self-esteem, of course Wen Le is not ignorant, he will not easily hit Wen Run, but he still has to guess secretly.

Three days later, without telling Wen Run, he left Fuchun alone and came to Lin'an.
