The next day, on the way back.
As soon as the carriage entered the city gate, the Wei army came to report in a hurry.
"General, Yang Shangshu Ling proposed during the morning court that there are frequent floods in various places during the flood season. In order to avoid disasters, water conservancy projects should be built in advance and ditches and dams should be built." "Now
that the court has been dismissed, the emperor has left many important ministers to discuss this matter and summoned you. "
Yu Tingwan was puzzled .
"If there is a war on the border, it is understandable to ask your husband to go over and discuss it to strengthen military defense and increase military pay. Why do you need to build water conservancy projects?
" Yu Tingwan said faintly: "Just to make up the numbers?"
Wei Zhao's face was flat.
"Floods occur frequently in various places, but building water conservancy projects is a big project, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly. Many officials will put some money into their own pockets. Layer by layer, the money is less, and the materials are worse. If we build every year, we can't build many places. There are also some with poor quality and collapsed, so there are more that need to be repaired."
"Why do you want me?"
Yu Tingwan heard this: ? ? ?
She was unhappy at once.
"To you..."
No.
She changed her tone and said angrily: "To my money!"
Damn it!!!
Yu Tingwan looked at Wei Zhao.
"Why is my husband so coveted?"
And they are all men!!
Xiao Huaiyan said that Ying Fuyan was his own man, so it would be fine.
Emperor Ying Qian was a piece of shit, and then Yang Shangshu Ling was also a piece of shit!
Wei Zhao had said it so clearly, she didn't believe that Yang Shangshu Ling didn't embezzle from it.
"Over the years, the treasury is not empty."
Wei Zhao picked up the half-drunk tea of the girl and took a sip: "The royal family allocated the least food and military pay to the Wei family army, but the treatment in the Wei family army is the best."
How much assets he has, outsiders have no way of knowing, but it doesn't prevent him from being coveted. But the palace has summoned him, Wei Zhao can't not go.
"I'll take you back home first."
Yu Tingwan lifted the curtain and looked out.
Seeing that there was a teahouse in front of her, she had been there on the day when the Zhou family was beheaded. There was a delicious snack inside.
"Stop in front."
Yu Tingwan: "Buy some snacks to take back."
"I always think about my mother-in-law when I go out .
" Yu Tingwan: "I have to coax her into a trance again."
Wei Zhao: ...
When the carriage stopped, Yu Tingwan took Tan Jiang into the teahouse.
Soon, the girl came out dejectedly with empty hands.
What a coincidence.
The shopkeeper said that the snack she wanted was sold out.
Yu Tingwan simply didn't buy any. After all, the other snacks in this teahouse were not delicious. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Lu Shiying coming down from the second floor holding a curled-up lop-eared rabbit.
Lu Shiying, a real little white flower, knew her and hurried over to greet her.
This teahouse was relatively remote and the store was not very big. Lu Shiying didn't like to go to a big teahouse and meet some difficult female guests, so she often came here.
"General's wife, you are here for tea too."
Yu Tingwan nodded and looked at her.
Apart from anything else, she was pleased to see Lu Shiying's delicate and timid look.
If Zhou Yurou acted like this, she would think she was just pretending to be a good-for-nothing.
Lu Shiying didn't dare to look Yu Tingwan in the eye, nor was she very good at chatting. For a moment, she was at a loss whether to walk or stand.
She was afraid of neglecting others, so she stumbled.
"This teahouse is not bad, but it doesn't have any opera singers."
"I heard that among the teahouses in Shangjing, Mingxiang Pavilion is the most famous. Not only is the tea good, but they also have opera singers who play the pipa and sing."
Yu Tingwan thought that the snacks in Mingxiang Pavilion were also good. After leaving the teahouse, she told Wei Zhao who was waiting outside that there was no need to send her back home.
Yu Tingwan walked towards Lu Shiying who was holding up her skirt and preparing to go back home.
"Then let's go."
Lu Shiying was stunned: "Ah?"
Yu Tingwan was about to get on the Lu family's carriage, and frowned when
she heard it: "Aren't you going to invite me to listen to music?" Otherwise, why would you say that to her.
Yu Tingwan said: "I agree."
Lu Shiying: ???
Tan Jiang: ???
So that's what you mean.
Lu Shiying was worried that the place was overcrowded, and the private rooms upstairs must be gone, and he was afraid that there would be no empty seats in the lobby on the first floor.
He couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
He couldn't let the general's wife stand.
She pinched her handkerchief and stammered, "Then...then let's go now?"
Yu Tingwan said yes.
Tan Jiang looked at the astonished maid beside Lu Shiying: "Your girl is quite hospitable."
Maid:... "Yes...yes."
————
The vendors were shouting, and passers-by and tourists came and went.
Yang Jingshu had just returned to Beijing, and her schedule was particularly full in the past few days.
She was also the person who knew how to save face. Now she was preparing a small gift and was going to visit the little grandson in the second prince's mansion.
First, the emperor valued the little grandson very much.
Second, she was already the fourth prince's concubine appointed by the royal family, and the interaction between the sisters-in-law could not be left behind.
It was just that Yang Jingshu felt a little regretful. She actually wanted to visit the young lady of the Shunguo Mansion. Unfortunately, the general's wife was not here these days.
When she came back, she would definitely build a good relationship with her.
Passing through a narrow section, it was difficult for the two carriages to pass each other. The Yang family's canopy carriage was carved with red lacquer, and the Lu family's canopy was covered with green cloth.
In fact, the two carriages could pass each other to one side.
But who is the Yang family? How could they give way to a poor family?
The Yang family's driver: "Miss, the carriage in front is blind and blocked our way."
Yang Jingshu: "Which family?"
"Lu family."
When Yang Jingshu heard that it was the Lu family, a cold look flashed in her eyes, and she winked at the old woman behind her.
When the old woman came over, Yu Tingwan slightly lifted a corner of the curtain and could see the ugly face of the old woman.
But the old woman could only see her beautiful and slender hands, her thin white jaw, and the clothes made by Hui Niang on her body.
"It turns out to be Miss Lu. I thought it was someone who was blind. You just came to Beijing, so you may not know the rules of going to Beijing."
"Hurry up and step back. Our girls are in a hurry. We have something important to do right now. You will be offended if you are delayed." She
is really arrogant.
Lu Shiying trembled, and the rabbit in her arms trembled: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I will step back now."
But it was not easy to step back, their carriage just turned a corner.
But Yu Tingwan had no objection.
She didn't care, she was very Buddhist. She
always had a good temper and didn't cause trouble.
When the coachman was about to step back, Yu Tingwan was about to ask Lu Shiying, who was uneasy beside her, if she was an enemy of that side.
Then she heard the old woman sneer and insisted.
"At the beginning, our master wanted to take you as his concubine, which was considered a great honor, but your Lu family drove the matchmaker out. I thought it was a grand ceremony."
"The Lu family is really down and out now. You are a legitimate daughter after all, how come you are dressed so shabby, not even as good as the servants in my Yang family?"
Yu Tingwan: ??? She
actually slandered the clothes made by Hui Niang for her!
How could they be torn!
She felt so warm wearing them!
Yu Tingwan turned her head: "Which Yang family?"
Lu Shiying's face was pale: "Yang... Yang Shangshu Ling Mansion."
It was really a new hatred and an old grudge.
Yu Tingwan smiled.
"It's amazing."
"You scared me to death."
She suddenly stepped forward, stuck her head out, and said to the coachman.
"Why are you retreating?"
Coachman: "Ah?"
Yu Tingwan stared at the carriage in front of her. She heard herself being very gentle, speaking word by word.
"Bump, get on, go."
