I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Two days later, Lu Jianguo's reward team arrived in Suzhou and read out to Chen Yuyan the imperial decree to reward Chen Yuyan as the second-rank Mrs.

Chen Yuyan was not as hypocritical as Wu Changqing. Those who should kneel and thank, kneel and thank her, and there are other people who came to play mahjong with her.

After the person who read the imperial edict took the reward and left, the backyard suddenly became lively.

"Second rank, Mrs., can you go to the palace and chat with the queen."

Qian Ruyu said enviously, that is the palace, who doesn't want to go in and see it.

"Now that the old capital has not been recovered, where's the palace let me go."

Chen Yuyan said that although Shaoxing also has a palace, it is far worse than the real palace.

However, she enjoyed the envious eyes of others.

My lady, this is the highest honor a woman can get. Although there is no real power, at least the name is still very good.

Other women with no grades are three points shorter when they see her.

"The Duke of Wu is really a god of war, and 60,000 people defeated the 120,000 Qing troops. This kind of great achievement will definitely go down in history. When the time comes, Mrs. Wu, as his wife, will inevitably leave a note in the history books."

What an honor to be able to leave a name in the history books.

Dong Xiaowan originally thought that she had underestimated fame and fortune, but at this moment she found that she couldn't help but envy Chen Yuyan.

"This, can it really be recorded in the history books?"

Chen Yuyan was excited when she heard the words.

"It might work."

Dong Xiaowan is not sure, after all, history books are still a stage for men, and it is too difficult for a woman to leave a name on history books.

The official history is difficult, and the unofficial history will definitely be recorded. It is not bad to be able to Ueno Shi.

"Don't talk about this, keep playing poker, keep playing poker, I'm about to lose my hand."

Miss Ye's family urged, she doesn't understand very well what is Mrs. Ye's life, she just wants to continue playing mahjong, this game is too interesting, the fun can't stop at all.

Everyone was speechless for a while, and a good topic was transferred to Mahjong again. Afterwards, everyone continued to return to the poker table, chatting while playing cards.

"I heard that there is a washhouse in the city, and there are four mahjong tables in it, specially for people to play mahjong and make money from it."

Miss Ye talked about some new things in Suzhou city, and she didn't know who spread the word about mahjong. A shopkeeper surnamed Wu copied it and opened a restaurant dedicated to playing mahjong.

At the beginning, the restaurant business was bleak, and the shopkeeper went to print and distribute flyers to introduce the game of mahjong. There was even an advertisement in the People's Daily introducing this new game.

After some playboys tried it out, they all fell in love with this game. So much so that the Wu's Mahjong Hall in Suzhou is now crowded with people all the time.

There are more people watching than playing mahjong.

In addition to pumping water to make money, selling snacks such as melon seeds and candied dates can also make a lot of money.

"I copied my master's idea and copied his shop another day."

Zi He complained on the side, she didn't have the consciousness to spread this fun thing out, she just felt that the shopkeeper Wu was cunning and treacherous, using the master's idea to make money.

"Wu Guogong is occupied with military affairs every day, how can he have time to pay attention to such trivial matters."

Dong Xiaowan said.

"Don't say it's mahjong, there are even people imitating Grandpa's soap, but unfortunately the effect is much worse than the genuine one. But because they sell it cheaper, they seem to be making money. If you want to copy it, you should copy them, their money Comparable to the treasurer of Wu."

Qian Ruyu said.

Imitation soaps are already on the market today, as are people who are rumored to be working on glass perfumes. Those people want to copy these things out and make a lot of money.

"Uh, in fact, my husband is more in favor of imitation by others, saying that this can inspire people's wisdom."

Chen Yuyan inadvertently revealed some of Wu Changqing's attitudes.

For some female relatives who came to chat and play, getting this information will make a lot of money.

Some people who originally tried to imitate, but were afraid of offending Wu Changqing, could do it boldly when they got the news.

Wu Changqing's bedside person, casually leaking any news, would be invaluable. Otherwise, there would not be so many people coming to the Guogong Mansion every day to join in the fun.

"The grandfather's mind is really admirable."

Dong Xiaowan said with emotion that officials these days are all trying to make money by changing their methods, and there are too few officials like Wu Changqing who are willing to share profits with the people.

......

As evening approached, the game was disbanded, and Qian Ruyu returned home.

"Why do you look gloomy and lose money playing cards again?"

Qian Ruyu's father, Qian Taoli, laughed and joked. He knew that his daughter had been playing mahjong with Mrs. Wu in the Guogong's house recently.

"Father, I want to marry Grandpa Guo, you can think of a way for me."

Qian Ruyu's words directly choked Qian Taoli who was drinking tea, Qian Taoli coughed for a while, and reprimanded: "You are a woman who has not left the cabinet, how can you say such shameless words, I'm really angry I am."

Women in this era pay attention to being subtle and elegant. Even if they like it in their heart, they can't say it casually, let alone someone like Qian Ruyu, who is going to marry when they open their mouths.

"I don't care, anyway, I just want to marry Wu Guogong."

Qian Ruyu began to act like a spoiled child. She looked at Chen Yuyan's scenery every day, and she was envious to death.

She also wanted this feeling of being sought after by others.

"Nonsense, Wu Guogong already has a wife, are you married to be a concubine?"

Qian Taoli said, he is also a dignified governor, how could his daughter be a concubine for others. If someone wants to marry his daughter as a regular wife, they must first weigh whether they are enough.

Being a concubine has no status at all, not only to serve the husband, but also to serve the wife. If you make the master unhappy, you may be kicked out of the house at any time.

Senior officials and dignitaries exchanged concubines to enjoy each other, and concubines did not have the right to refuse.

Even if a child is born, whether the child has the right to inherit property in the future depends on the wife's face and heart.

In short, being a concubine is by no means a good choice for a woman.

"Be a concubine, be a concubine, I'm going to marry him anyway."

Qian Ruyu was determined, and she thought very simply. Anyway, Chen Yuyan was not pregnant yet. If she could give birth to a son in the past, she would still be favored.

The concubine drives away the original partner, and it is not uncommon to succeed in ascending the throne.

Qian Ruyu's words made Qian Taoli speechless. If it wasn't for the fact that Qian Ruyu chose Wu Changqing, he would have really slapped him.

However, because Qian Ruyu liked Wu Changqing, this Qian Taoli was somewhat acceptable.

After all, the power of Wu Changqing today is getting bigger and bigger, and the king is just around the corner. It is not particularly shameful to be a concubine to Wu Changqing.

"I don't have the face to say it, go find your mother."

Qian Tao managed to calm down.

If Wu Changqing fell in love with Qian Ruyu and offered to propose to him, he would still have a step down.

But now Wu Changqing didn't mean it at all. It was Qian Ruyu who wanted to marry him, so Qian Taoli couldn't talk about such a thing. Take the initiative to kneel and lick, how humble it is.

He is the governor, a person of status, not an ordinary wealthy businessman.

"Hmph, just go."

As Qian Ruyu said that, she went to find her mother. After all, as a girl, she couldn't speak directly to the Wu family, saying that I wanted to marry.

It is much more convenient to let my mother talk. Her mother sometimes goes to the Guogong's mansion to chat with the old lady of the Guogong's mansion.

At that time, you can talk about the marriage of the children and test the old lady's tone.

Seeing that Qian Ruyu had really gone, Qian Taoli's face darkened.

However, he did not stop it.

In his opinion, if this marriage really happened, it would be a bit embarrassing, but it would also be of great benefit to him.

Qian Taoli is currently the governor of Suzhou, but his relationship with Wu Changqing is not close, at least not Wu Changqing's direct line.

As Wu Changqing's power became more and more powerful, he wanted to climb up in this group, and it was not easy to rely on this relationship now.

If he can form an in-law family and become a member of Wu Changqing's direct line, he will definitely be indispensable for promotion and fortune in the future.
