"That's fine, but your sister is only a few years old. We have to wait at least two years before we can talk about it."
Jiang Hai naturally felt uncomfortable with this. He even felt that getting married at 18 was a bit too early.
After all, Jiang Hai's way of thinking is somewhat different from that of the people here.
In this era, women reaching adulthood when they reached the age of 15 were considered adults, and it was normal for them to talk about marriage.
"It's not bad. She's coming of age at the beginning of the year. Many people get married at this age." said the eldest lady.
"Well, okay, but you'd better tell her not to have a baby too soon. I've told you the reason." Jiang Hai shrugged.
After hearing what Jiang Hai said, Jiang Xiuyuan, who was sitting opposite him, glanced at him sideways and said with disdain,
"You haven't made any progress on your side, yet you're meddling in other people's childbearing, aren't you? What a loser."
Ah, this damn fatherly love, why does he stare at him getting married and then staring at him having a baby.
Jiang Hai was speechless. He didn't want to argue with his father and just started eating.
Yuchi Ziling felt the contempt from her father-in-law for her husband, so she pretended to be silent, put away the note and buried her head in her meal.
It feels like two kids who have done something wrong.
The scene was silenced by Master Jiang's words. Everyone tacitly kept silent and concentrated on eating, and the food disappeared at twice the speed.
After dinner, Yuchi Ziling quickly pulled Jiang Hai away.
Jiang Hai is not afraid of his father, but the eldest daughter still feels a little guilty. Except for being casual when talking to her mother, she still has to be polite to other elders.
"Are you still afraid of Dad? He just has nothing better to do, so he keeps urging us to get married and have children.
Actually, he's not that difficult to talk to, I'm just too lazy to explain to him."
Seeing that his wife seemed to have done something wrong, Jiang Hai told her about his father.
Nodding, Yuchi Ziling also knew that Jiang Xiuyuan was not an unreasonable person.
After walking for a while, she asked,
"What do you think of the Sixth Prince? What do you think of Shuang'er marrying him?"
"It's okay. I haven't had much contact with him, so I don't see any problems. Old Taishan is quite optimistic about him."
"That should be no problem. I didn't expect Shuang'er to become a princess."
"Why, are you envious?"
"Haha, no, that's just an accident."
"His fiefdom is in Yuezhou, which is actually quite close to here. When Lao Liu comes to his fiefdom, I'll take you to find them."
Jiang Hai said calmly.
He is going to become the brother-in-law of the Sixth Prince.
In Jiang Hai's mind, he was just his brother-in-law. As for his status as a prince, he didn't care. When they arrived in Yuezhou, he had to make him call him brother-in-law.
After listening to Jiang Hai, Yuchi Ziling asked,
"How far is Yuezhou from here?"
"It's about the same as Nanzhou, just a little west of Nanzhou. It takes a few days to get there by carriage."
"It's indeed not too far, much closer than the capital." Yuchi Ziling nodded.
…
The two of them just walked and talked.
Jiang Hai was wondering what would happen if Yuchi Shuang and Yang Hongjin came to visit him in the future. Would he need to go to Binhai County to create another smokescreen?
It seems that there is no need for that. I think after they arrive in Yuezhou, they will have to deal with the affairs of the palace for a long time.
It’s hard to say what will happen to the capital by then. We’ll see what happens then.
Seeing that Jiang Hai was distracted, Yuchi Ziling asked,
"What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, nothing, just thinking about Yuezhou."
"Yuezhou is their business," said Yuchi Ziling.
"I thought you were thinking about how to deal with Dad urging you to have a child."
"Don't worry about that," Jiang Hai smiled, "You seem to be quite concerned about it."
"My stepmother came to me specifically to talk about this, how could I not pay attention to it?" Yuchi Ziling said, and then tentatively asked, "How about we try harder?"
"..." Jiang Hai felt that his wife was possessed by a demon. Now she was thinking about having children all day long, as if it were a task to be completed.
Damn Jiang Xiuyuan. Cursing his cheap father in his heart, Jiang Hai said,
"I think I should take you out for a few days. Don't let staying at home all the time affect you too much."
Jiang Hai wanted to escape. Just like before, he ran out for a walk because he was annoyed by his cheap father. After a while, Jiang Xiuyuan stopped bothering him.
"Where are you going?"
"You can live in Yanchun Tower, or you can live in the county government office or the military camp. The new city is so big anyway, you can go wherever you want."
"Is this okay?" The eldest lady remained silent. She didn't quite understand how the father and son of the Jiang family got along.
"Very good. Dad is like that. After going out for a few days and coming back, he will calm down." Jiang Hai is very experienced.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Otherwise, let's go to the military camp. I'll let Wenzhi teach me something, and you can also help Wugong do some real work."
"Go tomorrow and come back in a few days. Dad will be addicted to playing cards again." Jiang Hai had already seen through everything.
The couple went to the martial arts field to exercise before returning to the yard to rest.
A night of rest without words.
The next day, Jiang Hai and his men left Jiang Mansion early and went to the military camp.
…
Time flies, and two months later, it is already the twelfth lunar month.
The people in Xincheng started wearing thin cotton clothes.
Heavy snow fell in the capital.
The pace of life in the entire capital slowed down.
The Prince Xuan's Mansion had been quiet for a long time.
Crown Prince Yang Zhe was finally able to get rid of his crutches and walk normally again recently.
It was quite nice to recuperate at home after receiving Jiang Hai's salary for a few months. Yang Zhe gained a lot of weight.
On this snowy day, Prince Yang did not go out for a walk. Instead, he stayed at home by the brazier and asked his concubines to play music and dance for him.
He ate melon seeds and drank tea, and his life was very comfortable and enjoyable.
However, someone disturbed his fun today.
President Wu of the Jinshui Chamber of Commerce came to visit.
Yang Zhe asked with little interest, "What's the matter?"
"Your Highness, there haven't been many Japanese ships coming to the Chamber of Commerce to buy female slaves in the past two months, and the Chamber of Commerce's income has dropped significantly."
"How could this happen? Did winter come less often in the past?"
"No, just the situation in the past two months."
Wu Yi felt a little distressed after talking about this situation.
Although the Jinshui Chamber of Commerce has other businesses, none of them are as fast and profitable as the cost-free trafficking of female slaves.
After hearing what he said, Yang Zhe became a little anxious. He took Wu Yi and braved the snow to go to Prince Jin's Mansion to find Yang Hongye to tell him about the situation.
Yang Zhe was feeling uneasy, as the Jinshui Chamber of Commerce was his main source of income. With his connections to Yang Hongye, he had a good reputation everywhere.
Although most of the earnings were given to Yang Hongye, the rest was enough for him to squander.
If the situation Wu Yi described continued, wouldn't he, the Crown Prince of Xuan, have to start living frugally? No, he had to find the Third Prince to find a solution.
Arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion.
Yang Hongye met them in his study.
What surprised Yang Zhe was that Yang Hongye didn't take this matter too seriously.
"In that case, let's put the deal with the Japanese on hold for now."
"However, this will significantly reduce the Chamber of Commerce's income."
