It is said that the emperor planted a cypress tree in the north of the city himself, and the planting rights of the rest were sold at five taels of silver per tree.
Anyone who can come up with this idea is definitely a genius.
The construction of the north part of the city has just started and it has already made a steady profit. Who else could be more capable than this person?
Mr. Meng brought his people to the People's Clinic. He wanted to test Du Wanwan's attitude first, but she sent someone to send him directly to the Anguo Mansion.
Chen Xiangxiu had never seen Mr. Meng before, and when he saw his daughter-in-law bringing someone home, he was a little confused. He didn't understand who this person was and what he was doing in their home.
After listening to Du Wanwan's introduction, Chen Xiangxiu realized that it was the old man of the Meng family, and he quickly welcomed him warmly.
Logically, Mr. Meng should go to see Ye Zhenghai, but he is not at home at the moment and has gone to the camp outside the city.
The task of entertaining the guests fell on Chen Xiangxiu. The maid served tea, and Mr. Meng took a sip. Then he went straight to the point without beating around the bush.
"Madam, I am sorry for coming here uninvited. It's just that my granddaughter Qingran and the second young master have not yet found a solution to their relationship, so I wanted to come here and ask. If it works out, we will hire a matchmaker. If not, then we can forget about the matchmaker."
"It's possible, it's possible." Chen Xiangxiu didn't expect Mr. Meng to be so direct, so she said, "I asked my boy yesterday, and he said Miss Meng is the one he likes. I was just thinking of finding someone to go to your house to ask, and then you came."
After hearing this, Mr. Meng smiled and said, "That's great. The two children are attracted to each other. Let's follow the rules. You can ask someone to come to my house to propose marriage and go through the formalities to avoid gossip."
"Yes! That's what we should do. I'll go get a matchmaker in a minute."
Chen Xiangxiu also wanted to quickly finalize her second son's marriage. Her daughter was about to get married, so how could she delay her son's marriage? Once everything was settled, she would feel relieved.
Mr. Meng was very glad that Chen Xiangxiu was so carefree. Since their social status was not equal, it was not proper for him to come to her house and say these things. The Duke's wife did not care at all. Instead, she was very polite to him. It was very good.
Being able to stay in such a reasonable family, I don’t have to worry about my granddaughter being treated harshly by her mother-in-law when she marries into the family.
After discussing the children's marriages, Mr. Meng said goodbye and left. Chen Xiangxiu quickly sent someone to call the matchmaker.
The marriages of several children in the family went smoothly and she was in a good mood.
When the marriage between Meng Qingran and Ye Tingfeng was finalized, the mistresses of many wealthy families in the capital were dumbfounded. Obviously, their daughters were prettier than Meng Qingran and had a more noble status, so why did the Ye family look down on her?
The Duke of Anguo's Mansion is the object that the prince is trying hard to win over. The emperor has already proposed to abdicate in the court, and the candidate for the crown princess has also been decided.
When the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, Duke Anguo and General Zhenbei will definitely be the backbone of the court, plus Ye Tingxiao's military power, Doctor Du's ability, and the reputation of the People's Medical Clinic.
The future of the Ye family is immeasurable.
Another point is that there are almost no concubines in the Ye family's backyard. This is what the mistresses of the house are most happy to see and what the legitimate daughters most yearn for.
Unfortunately, Meng Qingran got there first, and no matter how much they regretted and felt heartbroken, it was of no use.
The Minister of Rites Yang Zheng was suspended from his post because of the Prince of Qi's affairs. The emperor asked him to reflect on himself, and he has been idle at home. It is not certain whether he can be re-employed.
He was in a terrible mood.
After returning from Prince Qi's Mansion, the eldest daughter Yang Yurong became silent and often sat in a daze for the entire day.
If you don't ask her to eat or drink water, she will act like a fool and not know how to eat or drink.
He was almost regretting to death. When his daughter broke off the engagement with the Ye family and married the King of Qi, he was complacent for a while.
When the King of Qi succeeds in the future, my daughter will be the Queen in the palace.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Who could have thought that the Prince of Qi was actually a bastard and not of the emperor's bloodline at all? Wasn't this a wrong bet?
Not only was the King of Qi gone, but all the women in the King's Palace were sent back to their parents' homes.
The emperor was merciful and did not pursue the crime of the woman in the Prince of Qi's backyard. He sent her back. In fact, it would have been better to pursue it directly.
Who would dare to take a woman that the King of Qi had used?
The eldest daughter's life is ruined.
Yang Zheng was in a bad mood. Hearing that the development of the west of the city was good, he took an entourage and drove a carriage to wander around the west of the city.
Since Liang Xiaofen moved back to the west of the city, her daughter Liang Yu married Ye Yi and got pregnant. She has a smile on her face all day long.
Among all the sisters who came out of the building, she is the luckiest one.
She originally thought that no one would take care of her when she got old, and that she would be thrown into a mass grave when she died, but who would have thought that she would be able to find her daughter and hold her grandson?
The family has now hired a few servants, a maid to accompany his daughter, a nanny to accompany himself, and a middle-aged man who guards the gate and drives the carriage.
He and the nanny were husband and wife, and they didn't want to be separated, so she bought him back.
Ye Yi has been an orphan since childhood and is very filial to her. He comes home every day and calls her mother as soon as he enters the door.
Doctor Du said that my daughter couldn’t always sit at home while she was pregnant. She had to go out and walk around more often, which would be beneficial for delivery.
Liang Xiaofen and Liang Yu were walking along the stream in the west of the city. A carriage came from behind and they stepped aside to avoid it.
Yang Zheng felt the back of the woman in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a moment. After the carriage passed by, he turned around and took a look. His eyes suddenly widened to the limit.
Isn’t that Jun Ran?
When she was young, Liang Xiaofen was the top girl in the building and was named Junran.
Who was the woman next to her? Could it be their daughter? He remembered that Jun Ran had told him that she was pregnant with his child. Could it be the woman in front of him?
If you look closely, you can see that his eyebrows and eyes do resemble some of him.
But my daughter's family has plenty of them, so there's no need for them. There's no use having someone with an unclear identity.
Liang Xiaofen and Liang Yu didn't know that Yang Zheng was looking at them. The carriage was moving slowly forward. Who would notice who the man in the carriage was looking at?
Just as Yang Zheng was about to look away, he noticed Ye Yi running towards him with a smile on her face. She then supported the woman, and the two of them continued walking along the man-made stream, talking and laughing.
Liang Xiaofen took the things Ye Yi gave her with a smile and turned back.
"Stop the car, find a place to wait, I'm going to do something."
After giving instructions to his followers, Yang Zheng got out of the car and chased after Liang Xiaofen.
Although he and Ye Yi walked face to face, Ye Yi didn't notice him. His whole focus was on Liang Yu's belly, feeling the baby's movements and smiling like a fool.
"It's amazing, he is kicking me. Is he so happy because he knows I'm back?" It's the first time for Ye Yi to be a father, and he is a novice. The fetal movement makes him feel excited.
After hearing this, Yang Zheng turned around to look at him, then looked at Liang Yu again. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.
He had never seen this daughter since she was a child. If he had not met her by chance today, he would have almost forgotten this messy debt he had owed when he was young.
Fortunately, his daughter would marry the personal guard of General Zhenbei. With her background, she was really marrying up.
As long as he can get in touch with his daughter, maybe he can get his job back. (End of this chapter)
