Chapter 149 ambition

The carriage slowly moved forward. Yuwen Shiwu, who was sitting in the carriage, wiped his face with a wet towel and sobered up. He had to take a shower and change his clothes when he returned to the Duke's mansion later, because he had to report to his wife if he had something to do. It would be too rude if he was drunk.

He grew up with Yuwen Wen and was a confidant, so there was basically no obstacle to walking in the Duke's Mansion, but even so, the rules that should be followed must be followed.

My father repeatedly told me to serve the princess carefully in everything, because since he is a confidant, once he loses the princess' trust, it will be a big deal if something happens. There is nothing else, and the dead will not leak the secret.

With loyalty, Yuwen Shiwu knew that the Lord of the Lang cared about this most. After Huang Aqi's incident, this kind of care became more and more obvious.

When the mansion recruits servants, it is better to be too honest than to be too sensible. Of course, if you analyze the specific situation in detail, you will either be smart or not be sensible.

People's hearts are separated from the belly. No one can tell what a person thinks in his heart. However, his daily words and deeds will be revealed. Therefore, Yuwen Shiwu has always been cautious in his words and actions, not wanting to cause misunderstandings, which makes the boss feel aggrieved.

Because he had lost trust, he could not have been the second time.

In February of the second year of the Elephant, Yuwen Wen got married, and somehow he alienated his "child" Yuwen Shiwu, which made him puzzled.

I didn't seem to have done anything wrong? Why is the husband... Why does he look like he has changed his own person?

A different person? Just think about this kind of thing, you can't be serious. Yuwen Shiwu didn't dare to think deeply, but the fact that Yuwen Wen didn't trust him was obvious.

He was sent to deliver letters to Duke Qi who was far away in Yuzhou. At first glance, this matter seemed nothing, and those who could deliver letters must be trusted, but afterwards, I always felt something was wrong, because a lot of things happened in the mansion during the period when he left Chang'an.

The mistress entered the palace for a banquet and was drunk by the malicious emperor. As a result, she was almost killed by the assassin. The man's whereabouts were unknown that night, and there must be something strange about it. At this critical moment, the man's man actually sent him away. What does this mean?

It means that the man-in-law doesn’t believe him!

It’s time to fight for your life, but I didn’t take Fifteen. The man, what did Fifteen do wrong?

Yuwen Shiwu was very frightened at that time. Without the trust of the man-master, he grew up in the Yuwen family and could only be a stray dog. Fortunately, Yuwen Wen did not treat him as an outsider later, so this matter was considered over.

But Yuwen Shiwu did not dare to take it lightly. He always felt that during that period, he caused misunderstandings by his words and deeds, which made the Langzhu be wary. Therefore, in the days to come, he was always cautious and not careless. Over time, he had developed a habit.

I am mainly respectful to the man and the mistress, and I am also respectful to my female relatives. Therefore, I cannot be careless for a while and I cannot meet the mistress in alcohol.

"Captain Yuwen?"

Jia Niu, who was sitting opposite, asked in a low voice, pulled Yuwen Shiwu back to reality from his imagination. He put the towel down and began to listen to the other party's "briefing" to see if anyone in the city dared to do anything randomly.

Yuwen Wen led his troops to the expedition far away in Guanzhong. The daily affairs of the General Administration were the chief officials and other assistant officials. As the saying goes, there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to dominate the king. The Duke of Zhu's Mansion had to find out who was the monkey.

Is there? Not yet.

The Zhou army in Shannan invaded Guanzhong and recovered Chang'an. According to the news just passed back, the Sui army besieged in the city was defeated at Baqiao, and the situation in the Zhou army was very good. Who would have burned his brains and dared to cause trouble in Huangzhou?

Even if he wanted to make trouble, he couldn't do it. Yuwen Wen made multiple preparations before leaving, so he was careful of someone causing trouble.

"Chief, after dinner, everyone was talking about the government army's recovery of Chang'an, or guessing whether Chen would steal." Jia Niu said this and changed the topic: "How long will the government army fight? The big fat pigs in the Huangzhou pig farm are almost killed."

"All kills? So many pigs in pig farms are not enough?" Yuwen Shiwu was a little surprised. He didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing.

"Nothing is enough! It takes about a year and a half for the little piglets to grow up. In the past few months, all the pigs in stock have almost been killed. If they continue to kill, they will only be piglets and breeding pigs. If they even kill this, they will kill the chicken to get eggs."

"Well, what are you talking about this?"

"Chief! All the pigs on the market are collected for military rations, and the price of meat has increased!"

"If the price increases, the price will rise. Is it not affordable for the mansion?"

"No, there is not enough pork. The workshop has expanded the production of chicken, duck, and fish floss. Now even chicken, duck, and fish are short of chicken, duck and fish!"

"Let's talk. You can get chickens and ducks after raising them for more than two months. There are fish everywhere in so many lakes. Do you tell me the shortage?"

"Everyone needs to raise chickens and ducks and fish, and the labor shortage has continued since the New Year and it is difficult for the owners to fully recruit people if they are willing to process money."

"So? Does what you said have anything to do with me?"

Yuwen Shiwu has ambitions. He wants to be the front pawn of the man-in-law and be the pioneer of the way through all obstacles, so he is too lazy to deal with such trivial matters.

"This is not...hehe." Jia Niu smiled dryly, "Aren't we going to hang out in the market to find out the news? So I want to send someone to pretend to be a foreigner to do a short-term job, and by the way, there are ears and so on..."

"There are ears on the wall? The little brat wants to make extra money, right?"

......

In Bakou, Xigang, more than ten riders surrounded a carriage and stopped near the dock. Duke Tang Li Yuan threw a whip and dismounted, came to the side of the carriage and opened the door, and helped his wife Dou get out of the carriage.

“How does this four-wheeled carriage feel like sitting up?”

"It's more stable than the carriage you make on weekdays, but you have to walk on a good road, right?"

Dou looked back at the four-wheeled carriage he was riding in. The freshness had not passed yet. Shannan's four-wheeled carriage looked a bit strange, but it was indeed more stable than an ordinary two-wheeled carriage.

A escort official asked Li Yuan and his wife to sit down at the Wangjiang Pavilion next to them, and let them enjoy the river view and wait for someone by the way.

As special guests, Li Yuan and others were originally going to stay in Anlu for a temporary stay, but were arranged to Huangzhou on the north bank of the Yangtze River. This incident caused Li Yuan to suffer from insomnia for several nights and were worried about his future.

Outside Shangluo City on Wuguan Road, Li Yuan met Yuwen Wen, who was leading troops to garrison Shangluo. During his conversation, he determined that the other party had a bad idea and intended to be ill-treated to his wife Dou.

Then their family was arranged to live in Huangzhou for a temporary residence, which was Yuwen Wen's territory. For Li Yuan, it was a thief's nest, which also showed that Yuwen Wen did have some intentions for Dou's family.

What should I do if I can live under someone’s roof, and the monk can’t run away from the temple?

Li Yuan couldn't think of a solution even if he wanted to break his head, and he couldn't tell his mother and wife about his worries. He was worried all day long until the appearance of an old friend brought things a turnaround.

"I have said that fire prevention in the warehouse is the top priority. If it weren't for the timely discovery of the night patrol last night, the warehouse would have been burned out!"

"Ming Mansion! The cat didn't know what was going crazy, so he picked up the candle and rushed to the roof..."

"It's not that long-winded! The water flows in your shop, causing your neighbors toss all night. What should I do if the losses caused?"

"The shop is responsible for compensation, and everyone is responsible for compensation."

"It's not enough to just compensate. According to the rules, half of the staff will be paid for next month's night! "

Not far away, there is a house with a burnt roof. A group of people outside are talking about something. The young man in official uniform is Li Yuan's former classmate, Anlu Xu Shao.

"Silang, is that county magistrate Xu Langjun?"

"Yes, my father was the chief supervisor of Anzhou back then. I lived in Anlu for a few years and was classmates with Xu Sizong. If he hadn't sent someone to send an invitation a few days ago, I wouldn't have known that he was the county magistrate in Badong County."

Li Yuan watched Xu Shao handle official duties on the spot, and gradually became fascinated. His peers are now parents, and they seem to be very capable in handling matters. He has been working as a Qianniu Guard in the palace in recent years, like a bird in a cage.
