Lord Wei could naturally hear the anger in his son's mouth. His son blamed him for joining the team too early, but what could he do? The Wei family seemed glamorous, but in fact it was not. Because of the Yang family's affairs, the emperor's attitude towards him was not as good as Du Ke's. Lord Wei wanted the Wei family to move to the next level. He thought it was right to join the team early. Should he wait until the competition was obvious before joining the team? Who would care by then?
However, his son did not understand his idea at all.
Lord Wei sighed: "Although sulfur and saltpeter mines have not been found, there are some accumulated bit by bit. In the past two years, the Ren family has sent people to look for them everywhere. And we don't need a lot, just prepare some in case of emergency."
Wei Ting said: "Father, I'm sorry, I can't obey your order. I won't tell you the formula."
"You... why are you so stubborn?" Lord Wei was really angry.
Wei Ting said: "Father, you are too eager for quick success, or maybe you can treat me like you treated Qin Fang."
Wei Ting's words made Lord Wei angry: "You... I am your father."
Wei Ting didn't say anything else.
Lord Wei knew his son's temper: "Anyway, the Ren family is already very anxious. You have to take the formula out. I've already boarded this ship and can't back out."
Wei Ting suppressed his irritation: "Let's split up the family after Wei Wu gets married, so that nothing will happen to our lineage. By then, there won't even be anyone to carry on the family business."
"You are so presumptuous." Lord Wei wanted to tear his mouth, but among his sons, the eldest son was the most outstanding and he liked him the most. Moreover, the eldest son's words were not without reason. He kept a hand in everything. He did the same thing back then. "I have already chosen someone for Wei Wu's marriage. He hasn't proposed marriage in the past few years. He told the outside world that he was mourning for Miss Yang for three years. He has a reputation."
Wei Ting raised his eyebrows: "Which family are you talking about?"
Lord Wei said: "Not from the capital."
In fact, Wei Ting also knew that even though the Wei family seemed to be powerful now, it would be difficult for Wei Wu to marry a girl from a good family after what happened to the Yang family. If the girl has bad character, the Wei family will not look down on her. Wei Wu's situation is neither good nor bad. One of the reasons was that Wei Wu went to the Yongzhou military camp to avoid the gossip in the capital.
However, Wei Ting was a little surprised that Wei Wu's marriage partner was not from the capital.
Lord Wei said: "After the marriage, let him live there." He doesn't have to come to the capital, so he doesn't have to face these things in the capital.
Wei Ting: "You let him marry?"
Lord Wei: "How can my son marry? Prepare a house for him over there."
Wei Ting didn't say anything: "It's late, I'm going back to the yard."
"Wei Ting..." Lord Wei called him, "Why can't you stand on the same line with me? We are father and son."
Wei Ting clenched his fists and finally calmed down: "Father, the path you want to take is different from the path I want to take. I know I can't stop you, but please don't force me. I won't give you the formula of gunpowder. If father gets it from someone else, I can't do anything about it." After speaking, Wei Ting got up and left. Wei Ting
's mood was very complicated. His father had already joined the Ren family and couldn't leave. He didn't want to join the team, but he couldn't betray him, so he really didn't know what to do.
Two days later
The Qin family's servants and helpers had all arrived.
They had to say that the prosperity of the capital city opened their eyes, but at the same time they were a little uncomfortable. The capital city was really too lively. Meng Qiu usually liked to talk. When she arrived at the gate of the Qin Mansion, she couldn't help but say: "This capital city is really different. I am lucky to be able to step into the capital city in this life. It is really a blessing from my previous life."
Meng Qiu couldn't help but tease her mother: "Mom, isn't this a blessing for you to marry my father?" While saying this, she held her two-year-old sister.
Meng Qiu's old face blushed: "You are a clever ghost."
Kun Zhang, Meng An and others beside her couldn't help laughing.
Nanny Lian was standing at the door. When she saw them coming, she was also happy. After all, there were few people in the Qin Mansion in the capital. Even if they bought servants, they were all strangers. The lady was worried, and she was also worried. Now that she saw Kun Zhang and the others coming, she was finally relieved. These people have been together for four or five years, and they all know each other's nature. However, "The old man and the old lady of the Kunshi family didn't come?"
Speaking of this, Kun Zhang hurriedly said, "The old man and the old lady went back to their hometown."
What?
Nanny Lian was shocked. Their group came back first, and the next group was led by Tao Shan, because apart from Qin Fang, only Tao Shan was familiar with the road here. The old man and the old lady were arranged in the second group, hoping that they would arrange this place well, so that the old man could live more comfortably when he came, but he didn't know that the old man didn't come.
Kun Zhang said, "Tao Shan escorted the old lady and the old man back to their hometown. They missed their hometown and said they didn't want to come here to trouble the general and his wife. Not only did the old lady and the old man not come, but Miss Si Ya didn't come either."
After hearing what Kun Zhang said, Nanny Lian really didn't see Tao Shan among the guards. The guard leading the team this time was one of the guards who had come to the capital with Tao Shan before. "Oh, this is a serious matter. I have to tell the lady immediately." After saying that, she asked the other maids to lead the team to the courtyard with Kun Zhang and others, and she ran into the inner courtyard to find Yang Haiyan.
Niu Dan came out of the carriage at the back: "I'm here." He was determined to be a general, so he naturally followed.
Inner Courtyard
Yang Haiyan was stunned when she heard what Nanny Lian said: "What did you say? The old man, the old lady and Si Ya didn't come? Did Tao Shan take them back to their hometown?"
Nanny Lian said: "That's right, I guess the old man missed his hometown. He didn't tell me when he was in the general's mansion because he didn't want to worry you."
Yang Haiyan sighed: "That's right, they have been away from their hometown for three years, and my father and mother are both in their hometown, and Shoucheng is also in his hometown, so naturally they miss their hometown. It's good to go back to their hometown, so the two old people won't be lonely. Have the rest of them returned?" In fact, there are not many left. Niu Da came early and is managing the fields in the manor outside the capital. Niu Yi is in the military camp in Yunxiang County, and Niu Er is in the military camp farm in Yunxiang County. It stands to reason that Niu Da is reluctant to leave his son, but the old man is interested in planting crops and is willing to give it a try. Anyway, Yang Haiyan promised him that he could send him back at any time.
Speaking of which, Niu Da also has his own considerations, because he thinks that if he follows General Qin's family to the capital, his sons can be better taken care of and this friendship can continue. If he doesn't come, there will be no contact between people, and the friendship will fade.
Regardless of these, at least most of the people from Yunxiang County have come, and Yang Haiyan is still happy. "Mammy, after they are sorted out, please ask Kun Zhang to come over. I have something to discuss with her."
"Yes."
Kun Zhang has not had a second child in these years, and there is only Kun Daying in the family. Knowing that the lady wanted to discuss something with her, she put down her things and came over.
Kun Zhang: "I have seen Madam. Aunt Lian said you were looking for me?"
The families of private guards were not servants. Their relationship with Yang Haiyan was that of servants, or in modern terms, contract workers.
Yang Haiyan said, "Sit down. I want to discuss with you the banquet in a few days. The mansion will invite six families, all with their families. Some of these people are from the capital, and some are from other places. So in terms of dishes, in addition to your specialties, there must be Beijing dishes. The mansion has hired a cook these two days. It is a living contract. She will help you in time, and all the kitchen work will still be left to you. "It is not easy to buy a kitchen with a fixed contract. "In addition, because the chef is not an acquaintance, although we have investigated and his reputation is good, you have to be a little more careful about the kitchen just in case." Yang Haiyan still has to be careful.
Kun Zhang said, "Madam, rest assured, I will be careful and prudent." Kun Zhang was not the woman who came from the countryside four years ago. She had been trained by the Qin family from the border to Yunxiang County in the past few years. Some people will always shine if they are given the opportunity. There were
not many servants in the Qin Mansion. There was another reason. Among the five private guards who followed Qin Fang and were loyal at the beginning, except Tao Shan, the others were married. Their wives were working in the mansion, so there were four fewer servants. Moreover, she was not used to the style of those aristocratic families, such as several senior maids and second-class maids. She only had six maids around her. In addition to the manager Lian Mama, there was also Yu Mama who was in charge of the door. In the early years, Aunt Yu also had to do the cleaning, but in recent years, she has been responsible for guarding the gate of Yang Haiyan's yard, and she is no longer asked to do the cleaning. Of the remaining four maids, one is to serve Qin Linyang, and the other three are sent, all of whom came all the way from Yunxiang County.
Anyway, there are no young girls. It's not that young girls are bad, but that girls have many thoughts. She doesn't want to cause trouble between husband and wife.
Of course, in addition to the maids in her yard, there are other maids in the mansion, and they are usually arranged by Aunt Lian. In terms of managing these, Aunt Lian is also a good hand, after all, she came from the Shangshu Mansion.
As soon as Kun Zhang left, Nanny Lian came, with a bit of joy on her face, seeing that something good had happened: "Madam, the matchmaker from the matchmaker's shop is here, bringing ten young boys with her. You should see them now." Yang Haiyan had asked Nanny Lian to go to the matchmaker's shop before, wanting to buy a few servants for her son, whether to play with him or to cultivate loyal people for her son. She couldn't let her son be surrounded by only the matchmaker all the time, right?
Yang Haiyan said, "Bring them here to have a look," and waved to her son who was playing on the side, "Linyang, come here." Today, the Wei brothers also came, and the servants brought them here in a carriage, so at this moment, little Qin Linyang and his two little brothers were playing with a ball, which Yang Haiyan made with wild boar skin. The children threw it back and forth, having a lot of fun.
