Rebirth of the perfect brother-in-law

Pinpu went east to the capital of Daliang, which was a vast expanse of plains. Carrying the rough arsenic, the cold desert air flowed down smoothly, and soon swept through most of Daliang.

At this time of year, people in Daliang begin to consciously add clothes, because the arrival of this northwest wind means that winter has arrived at their doorstep.

The frowning brows of the veterans at the Military Aircraft Department were not only worried about whether the winter clothes of the frontier soldiers were sufficient, but also worried that the northwest wind was unobstructed and unstoppable.

Would the cavalry be so terrifying if they bypassed Yongzhou and rushed all the way to the capital? Should Yongzhou's defense line be strengthened, or another line of defense should be built behind Yongji City?

In Emperor Liang's Imperial Study Room, the finest silver frost charcoal was burning quietly, providing sufficient heat to the empty room without emitting a trace of odor or sound. Only from time to time, red sparks shot up and down in the air with the heat.

It rolled, and after exhausting its heat, it fell down again, flying in the dark corner. It was really beautiful.

Emperor Liang had been in a good mood since returning from the Northern Expedition. He was sitting behind a large desk, watching the charcoal fire burning with great interest, and suddenly smiled and said: "Chu Yuan is really interesting. The silver frost charcoal he sent is not only caloric.

It's enough, smells good, and it looks so good when burned, just like watching fireworks. He must have put a lot of thought into it. Hey, should Lian praise him for his ingenuity, or should he scold him for not doing his job properly?"

One of the most favored eunuchs around Emperor Liang, Li Renxiao, who was the most observant, naturally heard that Emperor Liang had no intention of blaming Chu Yuan, but he did not point it out. Instead, he quickly went up to explain: "Your Majesty is unjust.

Mr. Chu, I heard people say that it is very troublesome to bake this silver frost charcoal. It took the fifth young master of the Chu family many days to figure it out. Nowadays, this silver frost charcoal is being burned in big houses and courtyards inside and outside the capital.

Well, Young Master Chu has made a lot of money by relying on the secret charcoal. The old slave also heard that General Yang Lie didn't even try the charcoal method he asked for, so he was so angry that he stood in front of the Chu family.

I've been scolding him for a long time."

Emperor Liang leaned comfortably on the dragon chair and listened to these interesting little gossips. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "This old man, the longer he lives, the more he goes back, and he doesn't know to pay attention to his identity. Is it possible that the huge Yang family is still poor?"

How about some money?" Li Renxiao laughed repeatedly. Yang Lie is a vulgar and thick-skinned person, but he has a high status. Even in the court, he still behaves badly. This time, it is rare for him to be embarrassed. I am afraid that including Liang Liang

Many people, including the emperor, were secretly happy.

Emperor Liang reached out and threw the memorial in his hand on the desk. As if thinking of something, he raised his head and asked, "What has Chu Nan been doing these days after returning from Jiangnan?"

At this time, Li Renxiao's cleverness was revealed. If everyone would pay attention to a big shot like Yang Lie, then who would bother to ask about someone as inconspicuous as Chu Nan? Emperor Liang asked this, maybe someone else

I really don’t know, but Li Renxiao knows that this is the reason why he has been favored and maintained his status by following Emperor Liang for nearly twenty years. Those who work hard will always be rewarded.

Li Renxiao lowered his head and thought for a while, then said slowly: Mr. Chu made the oiran from the Xinyue Building his concubine and placed her on Furong Street. It seemed that he had a conflict with the young lady from the Leng Li family across the door.

A few days ago, Mrs. Chu was annoyed by the charcoal-burning incident, and she is being apologized to by Chu Shang recently. Apart from going out for drinks from time to time, there should be nothing else."

Emperor Liang nodded with satisfaction. This is what a good slave should do. When the master asks, he can't say he doesn't know, and he can't bring his own subjective feelings when he asks. After thinking about it, he frowned and said: "Concubinage can be treated as a young man."

Fengliu, the matter of selling charcoal is really not considered. The dignified young master of the Chu family and an official of the imperial court has actually become a businessman, what does it look like?"

Li Renxiao looked at Emperor Liang's expression and said carefully: "It seems that the old lady of the Chu family was in poor health, and the days were cold and uncomfortable, so the young Master Chu made this charcoal fire that smells good and smells good, but later it turned out to be a serious matter.

When the business of selling charcoal came up, Mrs. Xiao Chu tried to dissuade Guo, and she went back to her parents' house in anger. Shangshu Chu was also very angry. Now the ladies and ladies of the Yang Mansion have made it known that they only want Young Master Chu to go.

We must deal with him well. This has been the hottest topic in Beijing recently."

Emperor Liang's expression softened a little. He himself was a filial person, not to mention that his partner was the old lady of the Chu family who had a close relationship with him. As long as he had such a way out, even if he did something that was detrimental to his identity, such as doing business, he would be fine.

It didn't matter. He smiled secretly when he thought of Yang Shouye's tough wives and daughters. He lowered his head and murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "I've been neglecting him for so long, it's time to recruit him into the palace.

Already."

He raised his head and nodded to Li Renxiao, and ordered: "Go and recruit Liang Rang, Wang Defu and Chu Nan into the palace. There must be an explanation for Jiang Nan's case. It has been delayed for long enough."

Li Renxiao didn't dare to neglect, he bowed his body and left to make arrangements. When he walked to the door, he let out a long sigh, wiped his temples, and remembered the three thousand taels of silver given by Yang Yu and the promise he had made to this special lady of the Yang family.

Things, I thought angrily, although it was just a matter of a few nice words, but I had to take a big risk. I would not accept such a job next time. Well, the price would have to be doubled, at least five

Thousand taels.

"Five thousand taels? You have earned so much money after working hard for so long?" Chu Nan frowned and said impatiently.

Guan He fiddled with the abacus skillfully, looked at the account book with satisfaction, rolled his eyes at Chu Nan and said, "It doesn't hurt to stand and talk. Five thousand taels is a lot of money. Do you think everyone is Yingzhou City?"

The young city lord has hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at his disposal? Let me tell you clearly, there are not many businesses in the capital that are more profitable than ours, and don’t forget, ours is not a one-time business, the winter is still going on.

, I will definitely earn more than this in the future.”

Chu Nan scratched his head and sighed: "Actually, we are not short of money, why do you insist on getting involved in this business? Now Yang Mei has run back to the Yang family, and my grandma forced me to pick her up...

Remuneration…”

Guan He curled his lips and said: "Humph, I am not a wealthy lady from a rich family. I have to be careful and not let you think that I am just a flower vase. I also have to help you, a heartless person, make money to support your family. As for returning to my parents' home, that's it.

Just take it back, it won't take much effort anyway, it won't be long after you coax her away? I know, she has been very gentle to you recently."

Chu Nan coughed a few times and said reluctantly: "Hey, the key is that those mother-in-laws and sisters-in-law are too overbearing. There will definitely be nothing good for me to eat if they go there. Whether I can come out alive is another question."

Guan He glared at Chu Nan and said meaningfully: "Isn't there one of those sisters-in-law who is your undercover agent? She will definitely help you, right?"

Chu Nan covered his forehead and pretended not to hear what Guan He said. He talked nonsense to Guan He but did not mention Yang Lin's matter.

Zhao Jiu, the old butler of the Chu family, ran in in a hurry, saluted Guan He in a hurry, and said to Chu Nan quickly: "My young master, someone is coming from the palace. Your Majesty invites you to come into the palace, hurry up.

Yes, it won’t be good if you keep Your Majesty waiting for too long.”
