Chapter 1 Doll pro

Today is undoubtedly a day of disaster for the Jiang family.Jiang Xueli is an official under the Department of Minting Money of the Ministry of Households. He was ordered by the Minister of the Ministry of Households to be in charge of the new copper coins.

Everything was going well, but three months before the completion of the project, that is, today, Mr. Jiang inspected and found that the engraved year name "Baogan" on a copper coin was a little missing. A quarter of the copper coins in the finished product have such errors.Under Mr. Jiang's questioning, he just found out that the mint foreman accidentally lost the template, so he imitated one, but accidentally made a mistake.Now this quarter of the copper coins weighs a million catties, even if it is returned to the furnace and redone, it will inevitably be reduced by tens of thousands of catties, not to mention that manpower is limited, and it is not easy to complete the work within three months.And this crime of sabotage is unusual, ranging from being dismissed from office to serving the people, and severely punishing the whole family.And with the current emperor's overjoyed temperament, Mr. Jiang knew that his family's lives were in danger.

Mrs. Jiang returned home with ashen face. Mrs. Jiang was pregnant with Liujia and was about to give birth. Seeing her husband frowning, she asked with concern: "Sir, what happened?"

Mr. Jiang helped Mrs. Jiang to sit down, touched Mrs. Jiang's swollen belly gently, and sighed: "It's a pity that my son has not been born yet, so I can't escape the inevitable end of death."

Mrs. Jiang turned pale in shock, held Jiang Xueli's hand, and asked, "Sir, what happened? You let him say such a thing."

Jiang Xueli sighed, and told Mrs. Jiang exactly what happened.

Mrs. Jiang's face was ashen after listening, and she was in a state of confusion for a while.Suddenly, Mrs. Jiang felt blessed and said, "Husband, do you still remember Yuanwai Lu?"

Jiang Xueli didn't know why his wife mentioned Lu Yuanwai at this time, but he still replied: "Of course I remember, he also brought his wife to visit our residence last month."

Mrs. Jiang knew that Mr. Jiang couldn't get around for a while, so she said: "Lu Yuanwai is the richest man in the capital. Last time he visited our mansion, he expressed his friendship in every way. However, Your Excellency doesn't like Lu Yuanwai's business status. , so the interest is lacking. But Lu Yuanwai has great financial resources, with his help, Xianggong's crisis can be easily resolved."

Because Mr. Jiang was in a depressed mood, he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he still didn't think it was wrong: "This time it can't be solved with a few thousand taels of silver. Mr. Lu is a businessman, how could he make such a loss-making business?"

"If I remember correctly, last time Mrs. Lu mentioned that they would hold a full moon wine for their daughter in seven days' time. At that time, we would go to the mansion to have a banquet and talk to Lu Yuanwai about marrying Qin and Jin. I believe Lu Yuanwai will definitely not refuse. At that time, we will be a family, and he will definitely not stand by."

Jiang Xueli slapped his thigh, and said with a smile: "Madam really deserves to be Zhuge, but how do we know whether our child is a boy or a girl?"

Mrs. Jiang touched her belly, but she also felt sad, but said: "Now I only hope that there is a baby boy in my belly, and it can only be a baby boy."

Three days later, the Jiang Mansion was in a state of chaos.

Jiang Xueli anxiously walked up and down the door of the delivery room, hearing the calls from inside, he almost wished he could break in and help.

Mother Zhang is busy living alone in the delivery room. She grew up with Mrs. Jiang. In her mind, Mrs. Jiang is her young lady and her younger sister, although she doesn't understand why the young lady only let her give birth alone. , but she still didn't ask any more questions.

"Ma'am, try harder, I can see the child's head." Madam Zhang yelled at the end of the bed, and Mrs. Jiang gritted her teeth and exerted even more force.

"Wow~~~" A loud cry came from the mouth of the child held in Zhang's mother's arms.

Although Mrs. Jiang was still very weak, she still asked, "Mother Zhang, is it a boy or a girl?"

Mother Zhang carried the child in front of Mrs. Jiang, looking as happy as if she was holding her own child. "Miss, she is a beautiful daughter."

Mrs. Jiang glanced at the bloodshot child wrapped in swaddling clothes, then at Zhang's mother, and said, "Mother Zhang, you have to remember that what I gave birth to today is not a daughter, but a son."

Zhang's mother stared wide-eyed and looked at Mrs. Jiang puzzledly, but didn't answer for a while.

Jiang Xueli walked in at this time, saw Zhang's mother holding the child in her arms, and immediately smiled and said: "Zhang's mother, this is my son."

Mother Zhang bit her lip, handed the child to Jiang Xueli, and said, "Yes, master."

Jiang Xueli held the child in his arms, and immediately glanced at the child's face, his face immediately became unnatural, and said to Mrs. Jiang: "Madam, this..."

Mrs. Jiang sighed, and said: "This can only be blamed for the child's suffering. We can only continue according to the previous plan, otherwise..."

Jiang Xueli nodded and said to Zhang's mother, "Mother Zhang, please keep this matter a secret, otherwise our family's lives will be lost."

Seeing the dignified expressions of Jiang Xueli and the young lady, Zhang's mother also nodded emphatically. "Master, Madam, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut. Congratulations, Mrs. Master, for the birth of a young master."

Mrs. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, and she said to Jiang Xueli, "Sir, now we have to wait four days."

Four days later Lu Mansion

Today the Lu residence is very lively, many well-known gentry and merchants in the capital came to celebrate the full moon wine given by Miss Lu Zhenbao.

"Master, master..." Butler Lu excitedly ran towards Master Lu who was entertaining guests.

"Ah Quan, what happened, why are you so irritable!" Lu Yuanwai asked dissatisfied.

"Master Jiang brought his young master here."

"Ah!" Lu Yuanwai was taken aback, and immediately said, "Then why don't you hurry up and invite Mr. Jiang in?"

Jiang Xueli had already come to the door at this time, and said with a smile, "Don't bother Lu Yuanwai to welcome you in person."

Lu Yuanwai hurried up to greet him, and said, "Your Majesty Jiang is here, I really feel very honored, my little brother is very honored, it is full of splendor."

"Because my wife just gave birth, it's inconvenient to come here in person. Please don't blame Lu Yuanwai."

Lu Yuanwai waved his hands again and again, and said, "Master Jiang, what did you say? This is..."

"This is... the dog, Jiang Yukang."

"Congratulations to Mr. Jiang for being happy with Lin'er. The appearance of this young master is really carved out of the same template as Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Xueli was a little disgusted by Yuanwai Lu's great hospitality, but he still laughed and said, "I want to congratulate Yuanwai Lu for giving birth to a lively and lovely daughter."

Lu Yuanwai shouted to Lu Quan who was standing beside him: "What are you still doing, why don't you ask Madam to bring the child out to see the guests." Then he said to Jiang Xueli: "Master Jiang, please take a seat." Jiang Xueli waved his hand and said: "Guests do as they please, or Lu Yuanwai takes the seat."

Lu Yuanwai couldn't back down, so he sat in the main seat, and his guests saw that Lu Yuanwai's pomp and circumstance were really not small, and even a third-rank official from the imperial court came to the mansion to congratulate him in person. Make friends with Lu Yuanwai.

Mrs. Lu came out with her newborn child, Lu Zhenbao. It was strange to say that Jiang Yukang, who was peacefully in Mama Zhang's arms, babbled and stretched out his hand when he saw Lu Zhenbao. Catch Lu Zhenbao.

Although Lu Zhenbao has just been full moon, but has a round face, a pair of dark eyes, revealing a sense of wit, and the small mouth is pouting, foaming milk, it is really cute.

When Lu Zhenbao saw Jiang Yukang's little hand stretched out towards her, she seemed a little dismissive, as if she didn't see it, she still leaned her head against her mother's chest.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yuanwai felt a little funny, but felt that he was not giving Mr. Jiang face, so he feigned anger and said, "This Bao'er is really outrageous."

Mr. Jiang liked the cuteness of this child, and said with a smile: "Haha, this child is really cute. I really like this child. It seems that Yu'er of our family likes your child very much."

Seeing that Mr. Jiang didn't blame him, Lu Yuanwai also smiled and said, "Yes, don't tell me, these two children are really destined."

Mrs. Lu interjected at this time: "Master, look, our Bao'er has really joined hands with Young Master Jiang."

Maybe it's Jiang Yukang's unyielding attitude, maybe it's because of the real fate between the two children. After Jiang Yukang unswervingly extended a hand of friendship to Lu Zhenbao, Lu Zhenbao also stretched out his chubby little hand to hold Jiang Yukang .

Seeing this, Lu Yuanwai tentatively said: "Master Jiang, I think these two children get along really well, and there is also a destiny. I often hear from the older generation that this newborn baby still has the memory of the previous life, so I don't care about my previous life. Lovers have inexplicable affection, hehe, if Mr. Jiang doesn't dislike it, I think why not take advantage of today's celebration and add another happy event."

Hearing this, the gentry at the same table as Lu Yuanwai thought to himself: This Lu Yuanwai's face is really thick enough, it's just that the two children hold hands and talk like a marriage between the past and the world.

But what made these guests even more surprised was that Mr. Jiang responded with a smile: "I have heard about this, and what Lu Yuanwai said is actually in line with my heart." Jiang Xueli followed the trend and hung it on his belt. He took off the jade pendant on the table, and said: "Although this jade pendant does not know how much it is, it is a family heirloom of my Jiang family, and it can be used as a betrothal thing."

Lu Yuan was overjoyed, so he quickly took the jade pendant and said to Lu Quan, "Hurry up and bring the South Sea Pearl."

Jiang Xueli knew that the matter could be accomplished, and he was relieved. After receiving the South China Sea pearl handed over by Lu Quan, Lu Yuanwai said: "This South China Sea pearl is my father's fortune, and I redeemed it ten years ago. It is extraordinary, and now I leave it to Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Xueli solemnly received Pearl into his arms, and said with a smile, "From today onwards, the Jiang and Lu families will be in-laws."

Lu Yuanwai nodded in agreement, picked up his wine glass and stood up, and said to all the guests present: "Today is my daughter's full moon birthday, and it is also the day of my daughter's engagement with Young Master Jiang Jiang Yukang, please be a witness."

So, all the people stood up, raised their glasses and congratulated: "Congratulations."

After the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, all the guests present slowly dispersed, and Jiang Xueli was still sitting at the table, showing no intention of leaving.

Lu Yuanwai saw that the people had almost left, so he said: "Master Jiang must have something important to discuss, please move to the study, let's talk about it in detail."

Jiang Xueli nodded, deeply aware that Yuanwai Lu was a scheming man, and that seemingly harmless smile actually hid the pride of knowing everything.

"Mother Zhang, take the young master home first."

Mother Zhang nodded, and as soon as she took Jiang Yukang out of the seat, Jiang Yukang stared at Lu Zhenbao and burst into tears.

Lu Zhenbao also waved his small hand towards Jiang Yukang, as if saying goodbye, but also reluctantly.

Seeing this scene, Officer Lu couldn't help laughing and said, "Master Jiang, these two dolls seem to regard each other as husband and wife, so inseparable."

Jiang Xueli could only smile awkwardly.Lu Yuanwai and Jiang Xueli came to the study room, screened away, then Lu Yuanwai asked: "Master Jiang is already my in-laws, so don't bother to speak up if you have something to say."

Jiang Xueli was satisfied with Lu Yuanwai's scruples about his face, and thought to himself that it was not without reason that Lu Yuanwai could become the richest man in the capital.

"Since you and I are already in-laws, then Yuanwai Lu shouldn't be so polite. Just call me Brother Jiang, and I'll call you Brother Lu brazenly."

"What Brother Jiang said is true." Lu Yuanwai did not back down, and called Jiang Xueli his brother.

"To tell you the truth, Brother Yu, in fact, Brother Yu has something to ask Brother Lu to help. As you know, Brother Yu was ordered by the emperor to mint new copper coins, and this is one of them." Jiang Xueli handed over a copper coin in his hand Gave it to Lu Yuanwai.

Lu Yuan took the copper coin, at first he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but when he took a closer look, he was also taken aback, and said, "This is a serious crime."

Jiang Xueli nodded, and continued: "Fortunately, there are still three months before the completion deadline. Although the copper coins that were mistaken can be remelted, but..."

Lu Yuanwai interrupted: "Brother Jiang, I already understand. Don't worry, Brother Jiang, I will help you with this."

Jiang Xueli was overjoyed, he got up and bowed to Yuanwai Lu, his words were full of gratitude. "Brother Yu will never forget Brother Lu's great kindness and virtue."

Lu Yuanwai hurriedly stopped Jiang Xueli and said, "Brother Jiang, don't forget that we are a family now. If the family is in trouble, how dare I not spend my money to save it."

Lu Yuanwai and Jiang Xueli had another discussion, and Jiang Xueli refused to go back home until the alarm sounded.

When Lu Yuanwai returned to the house, Mrs. Lu was still teasing Lu Zhenbao.Lu Yuanwai was in a good mood, and poked Lu Zhenbao's round face with his fingers. Lu Zhenbao grabbed Lu Yuanwai's troublesome hand in dissatisfaction, but his eyes were still closed.

"Haha, Bao'er is really cute."

Mrs. Lu was also very happy, and said with a smile: "Isn't it, Mr. Jiang's son is reluctant to leave as soon as he sees our Bao'er."

Lu Yuanwai pulled Mrs. Lu to sit down, and said, "You really think Mr. Jiang made a baby marriage with our Lu family on a whim?"

"That's not the case, so what's the reason?"

"Ma'am, I don't know. Mr. Jiang got into trouble and needed tens of thousands of taels of silver to solve it. That's why he thought of us. Otherwise, with our Lu family's background, how could it be possible to marry a third-rank official in the court?" .”

"Tens of thousands of taels of silver? This is not a small amount of money. Mr. Jiang is really good at planning." Mrs. Lu was not happy.

"My madam, although tens of thousands of taels of silver is not a small amount, but if we become a family with Mr. Jiang, we will worry that the money will not flow in in the future. Haven't you seen the appearance of today's rich businessmen who want to make friends when they see Mr. Jiang? What's more, the status of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen is actually not as good as that of ordinary people. Let alone whether we can make money back in the future, even if we spend ten thousand taels to buy an identity, I am willing."

Mrs. Lu has always admired Yuanwai Lu's thoughtfulness. Seeing her husband say so many benefits, although she didn't quite understand, she nodded and said, "In this case, it's a beautiful thing. What's more, I see Jiang Yukang's cleverness, I also like it very much."

Lu Yuanwai nodded, kissed Lu Zhenbao who was still asleep, and said with a smile, "Baby, your father has found a good marriage for you."

With the help of Lu Yuanwai, who has strong financial resources, Jiang Xueli's problem was finally solved, and all the copper coins were minted ten days before the stipulated completion deadline.When the current emperor was happy, he promoted the Minister of the Household Department to the deputy post of the province. The Minister of the Household Department was happy and recommended Jiang Xueli to the emperor as the Minister of the Household Department, and the emperor agreed.As a result, when Jiang Xueli received the congratulations from his colleagues with the imperial decree in his hands, he still felt in a fog, not half real.
