The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

After hearing the news, Li Shangshu rushed out from the crowd to intercede for his son.After he came in, he quickly walked up to Huang Ye, and said with a panicked face: "The emperor calm down, the emperor calm down! It's my fault for not being a godfather. It's because the father didn't teach him well. I beg the emperor to forgive him this time. In the future, the minister will definitely discipline him strictly, and won't let him be as shameless as he is today!"

At this time, Huang Ye was completely different from when he was talking to Jiang Ziyan just now with a smile on his face. With a hint of cruelty and gloom on his face, he sneered and said, "Strict discipline? Then your old father-in-law will also ask you to be strict when he goes back." discipline?"

Li Shangshu was not very clear about what happened. The young man who reported the letter at home spoke in general terms, only saying that the young master at home had provoked the emperor by his rude words, so he rushed over in a hurry.

Seeing the emperor was furious at this time, Li Shangshu could only admit his mistake first, and the most important thing was to save his son.

Kneeling on the ground, he kowtowed and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin, it is all the fault of the minister, he is not strict with his son, Zhiyuan is still young, he does not know how to speak and act, and when he returns, the minister will definitely follow the family law. Punishment. As for the father-in-law, he is also outspoken and unintentional, and hopes that the emperor will look at the empress dowager's face, don't blame the emperor."

Jiang Ziyan silently lit a candle for Li Shangshu. He knew that the emperor and the queen mother were only superficially loving mothers and filial piety in the court, but in fact they were already in dire straits.

At this time, Li Shangshu only thought about moving out the Empress Dowager so that his son would suffer less, but he didn't expect that this directly ignited the emperor's even greater anger.

The corner of Huang Ye's lips curled up into a sneer, and he said: "I don't think the family law that Aiqing said is necessary. I'm afraid that the son's body will not be able to bear the family law. Besides, I also feel sorry for him suffering from this flesh and blood, how about this?" Well, how about abolishing his fame and letting him face the wall at home for three months, so that Aiqing can discipline him well?"

Li Shangshu was so shocked that he couldn't come to his senses, his son had spent a lot of time on his son's fame, now how can he just abolish it, it is absolutely impossible!

Li Shangshu panicked and pleaded repeatedly: "The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin!"

Huang Ye had listened to this sentence of forgiveness for so many times that his ears were already calloused, and he felt that he was crying and annoying, and the little patience he had was exhausted.

"Why, I am the king of a country, but now I can't even do this? Could it be that in Li Aiqing's heart, the words of the queen mother and her old man are effective?"

It's really ironic to say "Ai Qing", Li Shangshu just realized it when he heard this, he said something wrong when he begged for mercy just now, he shouldn't use the Queen Mother to suppress others.

But now that the emperor has been annoyed, nothing else will help.

Cao Xuanshi, who was kneeling beside him, heard that Li Zhiyuan's reputation was going to be sacked, and regardless of Huang Ye's anger, he said with a shy face, "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to be merciful! It's not easy to study hard in the cold window. Scholars, if he is dismissed from his fame, it is tantamount to killing him!"

He didn't speak, Huang Ye almost forgot about this old guy who relied on the old to sell the old.

He said: "It seems that what I say is useless at all, even our great Confucianists are going to resist and refuse to obey."

"The grassroots don't dare!" Cao Xuanshi was terrified, he didn't dare to speak when such a tall hat of rebellion and disobedience was buckled.

Li Zhiyuan, who was on the side, was shocked and frightened when he heard the emperor said that he would get rid of his fame. He collapsed on the ground and couldn't say a word.

He couldn't imagine how things would turn out like this, it was obviously just a poetry competition, why did the emperor come all of a sudden?How could he be so careless, and still hear some foul language he said?

Li Zhiyuan regretted his intestines green at this time, but no matter how regretful he was, there was no regret medicine to take, and he passed out directly from the discomfort.

Speaking of expelling fame, Huang Ye didn't really want to do this, but just wanted to give Li Shangshu a deterrent, and frighten Li Shangshu by the way.

After Li Zhiyuan was taken down, Huang Ye lost his mood. The poetry competition had come to an end, so there was no need for him to stay here as an emperor.He left amidst the shouts of long live, which made all the candidates present heaved a sigh of relief.

The king of a country seems to be born with majesty. He stands there without anger and prestige, so that others dare not breathe loudly.

It's just that when he left, he specially told Jiang Ziyan that if it was true as he said, business can make the world rich, and if you need anything, you can go to the palace to find him.

This is tantamount to a passing order, which is equivalent to the emperor expressing his support for his business in person. From now on, there will be no more contemptuous words about him as a young son of the Marquis's family in business in the capital.

Jiang Ziyan was very grateful to him, no matter what kind of person he was, at least in Jiang Ziyan's opinion, he would be a good emperor who loved the people like a son.

The poetry competition ended so hastily, and No.1 was given to Jiang Ziyan.The prize is that warm jade and 100 taels of silver.

But after such a fuss, the others also lost interest, congratulated a few hastily, and then found an excuse to leave.

Li Shangshu also helped Cao Xuanshi to leave, but before he left, he took a deep look at Jiang Ziyan.Although he was not at the scene today, he also knew from the boy's mouth that the person who made his son angry and said the wrong thing was Jiang Ziyan.

Looking at his eyes, Jiang Ziyan felt that he and this Liang Zi of Li Shangshu's family were finally married.However, Li Shangshu's family had formed a relationship with the Hou Mansion after Li Zhiyuan fell from the horse and broke his leg, and now it is an old hatred and a new hatred.

Since he has always been the enemy, he has to be careful when doing things in the capital.It would be fine if it was aimed at him, after all, he was still standing behind the Ning'an Hou Mansion, so he was afraid that the other party would attack those close to him.

As soon as Li Shangshu came home, Mrs. Li began to cry in front of him, asking him why his well-behaved son came back in a coma, and why her old father, who was over half a century old, looked ten years old, which made Li Shang Shu was bored for a while.

He said annoyedly: "Why do you ask? When your good son wakes up, go and ask him what's wrong! You still have the face to mention your father, look at how embarrassing he is now, a great Confucian!"

Mrs. Li was dumbfounded, but he didn't dare to blame his husband, so he could only say: "Then let's forget about the grievances my father and Yuan'er suffered today?"

Li Shangshu gritted his teeth with hatred on his face and said, "Of course I can't forget it! The days to come are still long. Jiang Yu, a yellow-haired kid, thinks that he will win today with the support of the emperor? His idea is beautiful! Ma'am, you will enter the palace tomorrow." Let's go to see the Queen Mother, you know what to say, right?"

"I know this, don't worry, I will talk to the Queen Mother."

Sai Shihui didn't expect to end up in this scene, but fortunately, he got Nuanyu, so it's not a loss.

After eating and washing in the evening, Jiang Ziyan knocked on Lin Zhao's door.

Lin Zhao was still studying and lighting the oil lamp.When Jiang Ziyan came in, he saw the books on the table, and couldn't help but said, "Reading at such a late hour can hurt your eyes, Chun Wei, just do your best, you don't have to work so hard."

Lin Zhao knew that he cared about him. Although he didn't think so in his heart, he still said, "Well, I see. Is there something wrong with Ziyan coming so late?"

Jiang Ziyan took out the piece of warm jade from his bosom, and said, "It's for you, take it."

Lin Zhao was surprised, "For me?"

Jiang Ziyan smiled, "Yeah, didn't you give me a piece before? This is a gift in return. You can take it and treat it as a gift from me. I wish you success in the exam."

Rounding it up, this is a token of love... Lin Zhao thought.

He felt that spring was getting warmer and warmer. Even though the flowers were not yet in bloom, he seemed to have smelled the refreshing fragrance of flowers, as well as the soft spring breeze, gently caressing his heart, soft and itchy. .

"Okay, then I accept it, thank you."

Seeing that he accepted it, Jiang Ziyan saw that he didn't seem to be angry because he concealed his identity, so he explained: "I'm sorry, Ah Zhao, my identity...has been hidden from you for so long. But I really have difficulties of."

Jiang Ziyan told about Jiang Yu's attack at that time, and also talked about the psychological experience of the original owner in the Hou's Mansion, and finally concluded: "I don't like that Hou's Mansion at all. Ever since I was picked up by you, I have always wanted to Start a new life with a new identity."

"It's just that you can't ignore things in the capital. Now you are going to take an exam in Beijing, and now I have a bank account. Now it's a good time to go back and find out the truth..."

Jiang Ziyan was still explaining his thoughts, except that he concealed that he was a soul from another world, and told Lin Zhao everything else.

He was still talking about Jiang Yu's escape from Zhuangzi in the countryside. Although it was not experienced by his current soul, those memories of the original owner seemed to be engraved in the depths of his soul. It was too real, as if he really knew it back then. I really felt the pain of being chopped.

Lin Zhao suddenly pulled him over, put one hand on the back of his neck, and pressed his head in his arms.

A deep voice sounded from above him, "There will be me in the future."

The words were full of distress.

When he came out of Lin Zhao's room, he still hadn't recovered, and walked into his room blankly for a moment. Why did he vaguely feel that someone had kissed his forehead just now, just so lightly? All of a sudden, like a feather brushing by, there was a strange ripple in my heart that was not noticed by anyone.

Lying on the bed, he couldn't help touching his forehead. Could it be his hallucination?

.........

After the poetry contest ended, Jiang Ziyan's poems quickly spread throughout the capital. Coupled with his status as the young prince of the Hou's Mansion, many people in the capital were talking about him.

Even when he was walking on the street, people came to him to ask him for tips on composing poems, and some even took the poems they had written and asked Jiang Ziyan to comment on them.

Jiang Ziyan secretly groaned, what is this all about? Although he had a premonition that he would win the first round of poetry competition, he did not expect that the few poems he wrote would have such a great impact.

Especially the last poem with the theme of gold and iron horses resonated with the generals even more.

A general dies in a hundred battles, and a strong man returns after ten years.This sentence was said by Jiang Ziyan when he was arguing with Cao Xuanshi, but unexpectedly it was also spread.

In the eyes of the generals, this sentence is simply a true portrayal of them!They all developed a good impression of this young man whom they had never met before, and they were not so resistant to the civil servants in the court.

All of a sudden, Huang Ye felt that the civil and military ministers were much more harmonious when he was in court. In the past, it was fine if the military generals didn't yell at the civil officials, but today they can still nod and say hello. This scene is a bit weird.

After asking Xiao Dezi to find out, it turned out that this was the credit of Jiang Ziyan's poem, and the emperor couldn't help but feel very comforted.

……

Now that Jiang Ziyan has become famous directly at the poetry competition, it is difficult for people in the Hou Mansion to know about him.

But there are people in the Hou Mansion who are happy and others who are sad.

Jiang Zhong of the big house expressed his joy at this, as long as he comes back safely.Liu Shixin appeared very happy on the surface, but she kept beating her heart secretly, for fear that the matter of sending people to hunt down and kill Jiang Yu before would be exposed.

The old Hou Ye was naturally also happy, after all, when he doted on Jiang Yu in the past, he was really doting on him, but later when it came to the interests of the Hou family, his coolness was also really cool.

If you want to say that the only person in the Hou Mansion who is happy from the bottom of his heart is Jiang Yuan.

The son he had been looking for for so long appeared in the capital alive and kicking, and he was happy and relieved to hear that he still had a talent for poetry.

However, I was anxious to see my son. I don't know what happened suddenly, and I was a little scared.

The timidity of being close to home probably refers to his mentality at this time.After not seeing him for many years, his heart is still full of guilt, and he doesn't know how to appear in front of his son.

So he didn't go to see Jiang Ziyan for several days after the poetry competition.

What surprised Jiang Ziyan was that not only Jiang Yuan, the father of the original owner Jiang Yu, did not come to look for him, but even the Hou Mansion did not send anyone to look for him.Maybe they are still in a daze and don't know how to come to him. After all, Hou Fufu was very responsible for Jiang Yu's accident.

He didn't want to know what happened to the Hou's mansion, and he wasn't interested in that cheap and irresponsible father.Now his goal is to start a business and expand his business territory, starting from the milk tea shop.

In the past few days after moving to the capital, he went out for a walk according to the memory of the original owner in his mind.The capital of the Great Wei Dynasty was still quite prosperous. A street from the main gate of the imperial palace ran through the entire capital, and it was called Central Street.

With this street as the center, both sides expand outwards, and then extend four other streets, east, west, north, south, respectively, leading to the four city gates.

Zhuque Street is a commercial street. Many of the people who live in this area are dignitaries. The shops on the street are basically opened by people from aristocratic families. They have deep roots and regular connections. Customers want to occupy a place here unless they have acquaintances. , or by chance, someone wants to transfer the shop.

Jiang Ziyan's plan is to open a milk tea shop for trial operation first. The place must be large. In addition to milk tea, it also sells some pastries, so as to make a shop that can drink morning tea and afternoon tea.

This is the first step in his plan.The base camp of his paper mill is in Linzhou, which is very large in scale. This year's net profit should be much higher than last year's.

After the profits in the first half of this year are deposited in the Datong Bank, he can exchange the bank account with the bank account in the capital, which is very convenient.

By the way, the Datong Bank here is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. There are branches in all major cities across the country. If you deposit silver in one place, you can go to other branches to withdraw silver as long as you have the deposit receipt and number plate. convenient.

When he got the money, Jiang Ziyan planned to open a factory in the western suburbs. The paper mill he opened before was doing well, and this time he planned to open a brewery.

When I was in Qingping Town, the brewery has been doing it all the time, but the scale is small, it is just a small business, and the amount of wine brewed is small and the variety is also small.

Now he plans to mass-produce all kinds of fruit wine, especially in the several villages near the western suburbs where there are many fruit trees. The fresh fruits are brought into the city by fruit farmers to sell, and some of them are supplied to major restaurants.

But before that, he had to buy a liquor store first.If you sell it to a restaurant at the beginning, it doesn’t matter, it will be difficult for the other party to buy your wine. After all, most restaurants have fixed channels for buying wine.

Even if the other party is willing to buy it because of the good taste of the wine, most of them will keep the price very low.So it's better to open a wine shop by yourself, the wine is fragrant, and it's much easier to attract customers.

He also has a recipe for making wine, and it's not just one kind of fruit wine.So the next thing to consider is to find a suitable place to build the winery.

A few days after the poetry competition, the Spring Festival began.At the end of February and the beginning of March, the weather was warm and cold, and it was still quite cold.Chunwei is similar to Qiuwei, and the exam lasts nine days.

Jiang Ziyan knew the hard work of taking the exam, so he prepared a lot of things for Lin Zhao's exam basket early in the morning.

The weather on the day of the exam was not very good, a large cloud hung in the sky, it looked gloomy, as if it was going to rain.

Jiang Ziyan brought him an umbrella when he was going out, went outside the examination room, and lined up for a body search.

It is not allowed to wear thick clothes because I am afraid that some people will cheat with things.At this time, it depends on the individual's physique. If you stay in the examination room for nine days, if you don't have a strong physique, you will easily get sick during the exam.

Every year, countless students are carried out after the exam, weeping silently while lamenting that their bodies are not up to the mark.

In the test basket are not only pens and inks for answering questions, but also oil lamps, food, and water.

Jiang Ziyan came to accompany Lin Zhao to take the exam, which also attracted many people to watch.His excellent performance at the poetry competition is admirable, but more people are talking about the fact that he and Mr. Li, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, have formed a beam.

Seeing that he also came to send his son to the examination room, a student who was there that day came up to chat and said, "Mr. Jiang is also here to send his family to the exam today?"

"Well, my younger brother, come to send him to the exam."

The man didn't know whether it was a compliment or a mockery, and he said to Lin Zhao, "I see, with your brother Zhuyu in front, you have to work hard."

Lin Zhao didn't look at him, but looked at Jiang Ziyan, raised his hand to brush a hair that fell from his forehead, and said in a very gentle tone, "Wait for me."

Jiang Ziyan felt that he had become more and more strange recently, and his words were always rambling, "Don't worry, I'll just wait at home."

In fact, Lin Zhao was very worried that he would suddenly move back to the Hou's mansion during the few days before his exam, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear of getting a definite answer.

He thought, wait a little longer, wait until he finishes the imperial examination, wait until he has a good official career, and then he will express his intentions, but he doesn't know if he will accept it.

Chunwei lasted nine days in total, the weather was not so good on the first day, and it started to rain directly on the second day.Fortunately, Lin Zhao brought an umbrella, and the room where the candidates answered the questions was not too sheltered from the rain, so Lin Zhao put the umbrella in front of the table to prevent the answer sheet from getting wet.

It was getting dark early, and the exam was not over yet, so many people lit their oil lamps, and Lin Zhao was no exception.Jiang Ziyan prepared everything for him.Afraid that he would not have enough, even the lamp oil was doubled.

When Lin Zhao lit the oil lamp in the examination room, there was warmth in his heart. He thought, how could he meet him in this life.

Jiang Ziyan was not idle during Lin Zhao's exam, he dragged Zhang Qiu and Feng Ke around to find a suitable place to open a brewery.

The capital city is huge, and the land is expensive, so it's better to open in the suburbs.But it can't be too far away from the city, and transportation will also be costly.

Jiang Ziyan searched and searched but couldn't find a suitable one.

During this period, his cheap aunt came.After seeing him, she cried and cried for a while, and then persuaded him to go back to Hou's mansion.

Mrs. Liu had heard about what happened at the poetry competition before, especially Jiang Ziyan's embarrassment in front of the emperor. This time, she didn't mention Jiang Ziyan's statement at the poetry conference that he wanted to do business.

Jiang Ziyan tactfully rejected her. At this time, he said that he came to pick him back to the Marquis Mansion. Whether it was sincere or not, he didn't want to go back.

After dismissing the Liu family, he started to go out every day to find a suitable place to open a winery.

In the Xiaoqi camp, Jiang Yuan hesitated for many days, but still didn't know how to face this son, so he dared not come to him for a long time.There was even a sliver of anticipation, his son was back, and he hadn't seen him for so long, would he take the initiative to come to him?Even if it's to scold him.

But no, nothing happened.

The nine days are not long, nor are they short.The examiners in the examination room were looking forward to the early end, and at the same time contradictoryly wanted to extend the time.

Soon, nine days passed, and Chun Wei ended on the morning of the ninth day.

Jiang Ziyan had been waiting outside Longmen to pick up Lin Zhao. He was very worried when he saw that several people who came out were carried out.

After a while, he was very happy to see Lin Zhao coming out, and when he got closer, he saw that his lips were turning purple from the cold.Quickly put on the cloak that was prepared in time, dragged him into the carriage and handed him a Tang Pozi to keep warm.

When Jiang Ziyan and Lin Zhao arrived home at noon, they were informed by the porter that there was a guest at home, and it was said that they belonged to the Hou Mansion.

Jiang Ziyan thought it was the Liu family who came again, but he didn't expect that the unexpected guest was Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Ziyan asked Lin Zhao to go back to his room to rest, and went to see Jiang Yuan alone.

He was very polite to him, and asked his servants to make tea and serve him, and then simply greeted him.

This kind of attitude, which is no different from treating other guests, deeply hurt Jiang Yuan's heart as a father.

Even after he came, his son was angry with him and refused to let him in; or yelled at him and scolded him, saying that he was heartless, whatever, he could accept it.

But now his son's attitude towards him is very indifferent, and he looks very calm, as if he is just an insignificant first, second, third, third.

In fact, Jiang Ziyan didn't have much feelings for Jiang Yuan's father. In his previous life, his parents divorced and he was like no father or mother. After coming here, this was the first time he met Jiang Yuan's father. He really had nothing to say.

And if you talk too much, it is easy to have loopholes. After all, he is not Jiang Yu himself.But with Jiang Yu's memory, when he looked at Jiang Yuan from Jiang Yu's perspective, he felt sad and worthless for Jiang Yu.

The child was not by my side when he was young, but now that he has grown up so much, he thinks of making up for it, is he really his real father?

Jiang Yuan was usually a man of few words, but when he saw Jiang Ziyan, he didn't know where to start.

So he asked the question he wanted to know the most, "How did you get here in the past two years?"

Jiang Ziyan looked at Jiang Yuan like a wilted cucumber and a dejected big rooster, and asked him how he was doing cautiously.

He replied flatly: "It's not bad, it's a life saved."

This is an understatement, but it seems that a needle has been pierced in Jiang Yuan's heart, and his whole body feels tingling, even breathing is difficult.

"Ayu, it's my father's fault. He didn't come back in time, which caused you to suffer."

When Jiang Ziyan heard this, he didn't know if it was because of the memory of the original owner, but he felt a little sad, but felt that it was a joke.

"You are really bad."

Jiang Ziyan felt that at this time, he seemed to be the Jiang Yu who used to look forward to his father coming back to see him every day.

He said softly: "I used to wish so much that you would come back to see me often, so I tried to please you in different ways and tried to be a good boy, but it was still useless."

"Even if you came back, I went to see you in a panic, but full of joy, and you wouldn't even look at me."

"But I still look forward to you time and time again, hoping that you will notice me, even if you just stay for a moment. Later, I thought that since it is useless to be a good boy, I might as well be a bad boy."

"So I started to make troubles in the city. I went out with children of the same age to tease cats and dogs every day. I was a dandy who made others gnash their teeth. I hope this will attract your attention, even if you scold me after you come back."

"But what about you? You didn't. You didn't show up during the most important growth stage of my life. You missed my birthday every year, every happy moment of my past ten years, and every moment of my life. The moments in my life when I need you."

"When I was sent to Zhuangzi by my aunt's people, I was very sad, but I always had a little fantasy at that time. If you knew about that, would you believe that I didn't do it on Li Zhiyuan's horse?" Will you pick me up at night when I'm too cold to sleep? Will you rush to protect me when I'm beaten and bruised all over my body?"

"But no. I can only rely on myself. I escaped from the dark Zhuangzi alone, and then fled all the way. I wandered from the capital to the southwest, snatched food from the dog's mouth, and squatted in the beggar's den on the street. at night, lingering in the night of hunger and cold..."

But in the end, he couldn't survive, and died in the dawn of the September mountain forest.

His life was taken over by a strange soul.

When Jiang Ziyan said these words, his face was very calm, as if he was just a spectator, describing the life of the person involved from the perspective of a bystander.

In fact, it is.He is indeed just a bystander, what he said is the memory in his mind, without any false words.

But this kind of him looks different in Jiang Yuan's eyes.

Jiang Yuan felt that his son was able to be so calm now, probably because he was heartbroken by his father.No expectations, no disappointment.There will be no more thoughts, no more sadness.

The author has something to say:

good night
