"Keep a low profile, my brother-in-law is always good-looking." Jiang Hai replied arrogantly.
"She's talking about fireworks." Yuchi Ziling said disdainfully.
"It's okay, I'll listen to me and it won't be a problem." Jiang Hai continued to amuse himself.
“…”
It took a while for half of the car's fireworks to be set off.
It's not too late now.
Many people in Yuezhou were confused when they saw the fireworks set off from the palace.
At first, some people panicked, thinking that it was some kind of exaggerated thunder that kept happening one after another.
Later, when they saw that it was above the palace, someone immediately said it was a good omen from heaven.
He was muttering to himself, trying to flatter the King of Yue from a distance, there was no doubt about it.
After the fireworks were over, the people who were looking at the palace from afar went back to their homes.
Tomorrow I can show off and talk to people I haven’t met, and feel happy.
In the palace, the servants had just stopped what they were doing to watch this small fireworks show.
Now everyone has returned to their respective posts, and it’s time to get busy and take a rest.
Jiang Hai was pulled to the guest room by the eldest lady.
"Ma'am, what are you doing?"
"What do you think? Su Yanan has it, but we don't."
"..." Jiang Hai held his forehead with his hand, feeling that something had changed. This love was no longer pure.
After entering the room, Jiang Hai was successfully pushed down by the eldest lady.
Then, the young lady had a stomachache.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Hai, who was ready to die, asked in confusion when he saw that his wife did not commit any more vicious acts.
"That thing is coming." Yuchi Ziling frowned and covered her abdomen with her hands.
"Oh wow, this relative is quite considerate," Jiang Hai grinned. "Madam, lie down and have a rest. I'll get some brown sugar water."
After saying that, Jiang Hai rushed out of the room and hurried to the kitchen to ask someone to make some brown sugar water.
A moment later, Jiang Hai returned to the room with a bowl in one hand and a copper hot water bottle in the other.
…
From the county government office, they could see the fireworks from the palace. When Lu Qian and his wife heard from their servants that there was a strange phenomenon in the sky, they came out to see it too.
When he heard the sound of fireworks, the chubby boy felt a little excited for some reason.
I feel a little bit unable to hold it back.
That night.
Su Cainu went to sleep in the guest room in the middle of the night, holding her quilt. For the first time since she got married, she muttered as she walked.
"It's really stinking. I have to ask a doctor to check him out tomorrow."
Lu Qian woke up in the middle of the night and found that his wife was missing. He was extremely anxious.
He felt relieved only when the maid told him that the lady had gone to the guest room to sleep.
He walked to the window with a hopeless mood, opened the door, and continued to sleep.
…
Rested in the palace for two days.
Two days later, Jiang Hai and his wife went out for a stroll in Yuezhou City.
Walking on the streets of the city market, people are coming and going, vendors are hawking their wares, shop waiters are soliciting customers, and the aroma of buns wafts from the steamers at roadside stalls.
Full of the atmosphere of the city, it is a picture of an ancient and bustling city.
I saw a girl standing opposite the bun stall, looking at the steamer and swallowing her saliva.
The girl's eyes were clear, but her thin body made it look like she had not had a good diet.
The girl looked about the same age as Jiang Xin, in her early teens.
But the clothes he was wearing looked very worn out, with several tears that had not been patched up, and they were a bit dusty.
The girl's eyes attracted Jiang Hai's attention. Jiang Hai thought she was going over to buy buns, so he slowed down his pace.
However, the girl did not go over. She put away her longing eyes, lowered her head and turned away.
The girl soon disappeared, and the direction Jiang Hai and the others were heading was exactly the direction the girl had just left.
Jiang Hai and his group continued walking for a while and saw the girl again in front of a pharmacy.
He was carrying a small medicine basket, apparently going up the mountain to collect herbs, but he didn't even have any tools.
Jiang Hai frowned slightly and found that the girl's fingers were abraded in several places and her hands were covered with dirt.
Soon, the girl disappeared again.
…
Yuchi Ziling followed Jiang Hai and saw that he was absent-minded, so she asked,
"What's wrong with Jiang Lang? Why are you frowning?"
"Oh, nothing, let's go." Jiang Hai came back to his senses, relaxed his brows and smiled.
The two continued walking along the street, with Wenzhi and Caier following behind.
After walking around the market for a long time and buying some things from Yuezhou, Wenzhi already had a lot on hand.
As it was approaching noon, a few people walked back to the palace.
When passing by the pharmacy, Jiang Hai asked them to wait a moment.
There was a food stall nearby, so Jiang Hai bought some food and walked into the drugstore.
"Shopkeeper, was there a girl who came here to collect herbs and sell them?"
"Yes, may I ask if this gentleman has something to do with that girl?"
"When she comes back later, please give this bag of food to her. I'll give this bag to you."
"Okay, okay, thank you very much, sir." The shopkeeper responded.
After explaining the situation, Jiang Hai left the pharmacy and returned to the palace with a few others.
Since getting married, he has been spending more and more time away from Xincheng. Whenever he sees people from outside Xincheng, he feels complicated.
Just like the girl just now, she should be at a carefree age, but she is carrying a burden that does not belong to this age.
This night.
Yang Hongjin talks to Jiang Hai.
Jiang Hai gave him some advice seriously.
The most important idea, one that appears frequently:
Fuck him.
For example, Yang Hongjin asked,
"If land is taxed based on property, the landlord class will inevitably find ways to oppose it, and may even flee Yuezhou. What should we do?"
"Fuck him! If he dares to leave, I'll catch him and break his legs."
"What if they evade taxes?"
"Fuck him! Give him a couple of beatings. If he doesn't change, I'll just confiscate his house."
"That……"
"Dry……"
Well, it’s simple and rough, just fight if you don’t agree.
Yang Hongjin's mouth twitched when he heard this. "Isn't this guy a cultured person? Why is he acting like a bandit?"
But having said that, Jiang Hai finally said something to Yang Hongjin,
"If you don't have a strong fist, you can't accomplish anything."
"Indeed," Yang Hongjin nodded, "It is indeed like listening to your words."
These words were learned and put into use immediately. When Jiang Hai heard him talk about the situation in Yuezhou, which were all old things, he teased him and then learned the words.
"Nonsense, jokes aside, first strengthen your fists before you take drastic measures. If you need money, tell your brother-in-law and he will help you." Jiang Hai raised his eyebrows.
After hearing what Jiang Hai said, Yang Hongjin smiled and thanked him.
If you talk about lack of money, Yang Hongjin may still be a little short for the time being.
I have just arrived in the provincial capital and have just taken over the political and military affairs here. Many things still require a lot of money to get done.
I haven't established my own team yet.
And when the tax revenue has not been collected yet, if there is no silver in the treasury, he has to pay for almost everything, so it would be strange if he is not short of money.
Although Jiang Hai's speech seemed to be nonsense, it actually gave him many ideas that transcended this era.
