Chapter 208 My daughter Yuying grew up [two-in-one chapter, monthly pass]
, This son-in-law is very stable
Because he had to discuss the food transport with Yang Zhiyuan, Zhang Wei failed to sleep until midnight on the day of his return for the first time, but got up early after abnormal behavior.
He turned over and got out of bed, looked at the two sisters who were still sleeping soundly, gently covered them with quilts, quietly put on his clothes, and prepared to go out for a walk to get some energy.
As soon as I came out, I saw Yuying in the courtyard, which was already practicing morning skills under the sun. Zhang Wei was on a whim and stopped upstairs for a while. He saw her legs pressing down, she stretched her legs, and then got up and kicked her legs, as if there was an inexplicable rhythm inside.
Maybe it was a long time since I looked at this little girl carefully. Zhang Wei suddenly realized that she had grown a lot. Her slender figure was not known for her dancing, but she had a graceful smell at this time.
The morning sun shone gently on her body, and her whole body was filled with the rhythm of youth. Zhang Wei even felt that the thin fluff on her face was no longer the "sharp corners of Xiaohecai Tower" she used to be, but now she is "the first time I have a daughter in my family."
After watching the second floor for a while, Zhang Weicai put away his unintentional smile and went downstairs to the patio. He also prepared to do exercises and warm up before going to run.
"Ah! Young Master, you got up so early?" Yu Ying was a little surprised when she saw him, and quickly put away her movements and gave a gift.
Although Zhang Wei came back very late last night, she still knew it. But every day after Zhang Wei came back, he would only get up at midnight. Yuying was surprised by why he got up so early? Didn’t he go to bed very late last night?
"I still have something to deal with today, so I'll get up early. Are you still getting up early every day to practice martial arts?" Zhang Wei asked casually while preparing for exercise.
In the past, Zhang Wei often met her when she was running, but later she practiced dancing with Wen Qing and changed her time to practice exercises. So Zhang Weike was a little confused, but he just asked casually.
"Yes, young master! If we dance practitioners don't stretch for a day, we feel that something is missing. I stopped for a while, and finally stretched it every morning, otherwise we would feel uncomfortable for a day." Yuying leaned over and squatted beside Zhang Wei, holding her chin with her hands and looking at him.
She was very happy to be alone with Zhang Wei. Since Wen Qing also married him, Yuying has not been alone with Zhang Wei for a while. After all, she was either accompanying the Yang sisters or busy outside and couldn't take care of her. Although she could understand, she was still a little disappointed.
"This is a good habit! I saw Wen Qing learning dance with you before, why didn't she stretch with you?" After moving the joints, Zhang Wei also began to stretch.
"Sister Wenqing has no boy skills. I am afraid of hurting her tendons, so I dare not let her pull it too hard, so I just learn simple things with me and exercise my muscles and bones!" Yuying was very happy when she saw Zhang Wei. She didn't care what the two of them were talking about, but only cared about who they were talking to.
"So that's how it is!" Zhang Wei smiled, but in fact he didn't take his heart. He looked at her and said caringly: "I see that you finally grew a little flesh this time, not as thin as before, very good!"
Before Zhang was ready to exercise, he was about to start running. Before leaving, he reminded Yuying: "You are growing up and eating more good foods. If the monthly period is not enough, you will tell me."
Yuying was naturally warm in her heart and said with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, both sisters are very nice to me, I have enough money to spend!"
She didn't lie. Since she came to Yang's mansion, she has made a lot of money every month, half of the ladies like Shi Qing, Wen Qing and the others, but it is still as huge as ten taels.
Moreover, the Yang sisters treated her very well and often gave her all kinds of food and clothing. They never treated her badly. In addition, she didn't have to spend money on her daily meals, so she didn't even spend much money on her hands.
But occasionally, when I went shopping with Wen Qing, a lady who rarely went out, I would buy some rouge, gouache, and girls' things, and often buy some hot-selling books to chat to relieve my boredom. This is her biggest expense.
"That's good, I'm going to run, you can continue practicing!" Zhang Wei nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, I was very relieved about Shiqing. He had a deep understanding of Shiqing's kindness. Even Wenqing, a sister who looks soft and weak and looks as expected, is not as soft as Shiqing's heart.
Of course, it is not that Wen Qing is not kind, but relatively speaking, Shi Qing looks proud and sometimes arrogant, but in fact she can't bear to hurt anyone, so she endured the heartache and carried Yuying into the mansion, so she endured the heartache again and agreed to Wen Qing as a mother.
Zhang Wei nodded to Yuying, ran out of the patio of the embroidery building, ran a long way in the mansion, and sweated slightly. When he came back, he saw that Yuying had finished her morning work, holding a small amount on the bench of the patio and was petting her cat.
Zhang Wei also walked over and stroked him a few times. Yuying looked at him gently, but she didn't know that his thoughts had floated away, and they floated to Adelaide, who was far away in the West, and she felt a little regretful.
He recalled the days when the two of them were in love with each other, and it would be great if he had been more domineering. If he had definitely found a way to keep her now, even if she was unwilling to do so at first, she would get used to it slowly.
This is a change in mentality. At that time, Zhang Weicai had not been traveling for a long time. He lacked safety in his heart and was extremely cautious in doing things. He did not dare to show many inner desires.
Even though he was already moved, he refused Adelaide's pursuit many times. It was not until after that inadvertent poisoning that he was reversed by Adelaide that Weiwei let go.
Later, as Crescent Island became stronger and stronger, he began to occasionally show a trace of desire and ambition, such as letting Wen Qing be a mother. Although it seemed that the two elders of the Yang family were pressing each other step by step, it was actually Zhang Wei's half-heartedness.
Moreover, it was the first time he took the initiative to attack on the wedding night. If he followed his previous personality, he should slowly develop a relationship and let the sisters get along well again.
After that, he would wait slowly. Maybe Shiqing would get married with Wen Qing after she became pregnant. However, Zhang Wei chose to take the initiative at that time, and soon came with the ridiculous sisters several times, and finally let the sisters move together.
This is what Zhang Wei has gradually changed as his vision grows and his power increases. If he uses the word "中" in the anime to describe it, he gradually has the heart of a strong man.
"Meow~" It was very comfortable to be touched by the small amount. I arched Zhang Wei's palm with the top of my head, and screamed, interrupting Zhang Wei's thoughts. Then I slapped the small amount and stopped petting the cat.
"Young Master..." Yuying seemed to want to say something, but she was hesitant and didn't know how to speak.
"What's wrong? Yuying, tell me if you need anything." Zhang Wei had already gotten up and was about to go upstairs to wash up. Hearing Yuying's call, he stopped again.
"No... nothing more..." Yuying's face was flushed with a hint of meaning. She was embarrassed to avoid Zhang Wei's eyes and did not dare to look at him.
Zhang Wei smiled slightly, feeling that he had guessed what she was thinking, and came over to use a cat-like posture, stroked her head, and said, "Don't think about it randomly. You have been carried into the mansion and are already my concubine, but you are still too young, don't rush to have some things."
"Young Master...I...I don't mean that! Where did you think of?" Yuying's face turned red and she said, "I just want to say, I hope I can talk to you more like today in the future..."
Zhang Wei scratched his head awkwardly, and suddenly felt a little amused. Did he misunderstand? Maybe this is the sequelae of the strong's heart and overconfidence.
"Yes! That's what I mean. You are already my concubine, and you will have many opportunities to speak in the future!" Zhang Wei didn't want to lose face in front of the girl, so he explained with a stingy forehead, rubbed her hair hard, and said, "So don't have to hurry! I will accompany you every time I come back!"
"Young Master..." Yuying still blushed, straightened her chest and whispered: "Actually, I'm not young anymore, I'm almost the same as Sister Wenqing."
"Husband, why are you getting up so early? You don't call us?" Wen Qing shouted on the second floor. She and Shi Qing had already washed up and saw Zhang Wei in the patio when they went out.
Yuying was startled and jumped away from Zhang Wei's subordinates. She looked at Wen Qing upstairs with some guilt, not knowing whether she heard her words. If she heard it, she would probably find a way to apologize!
"Husband, are you going to exercise again? I was exhausted yesterday. I went to exercise today. Will it hurt my body? You should pay attention to rest!" Shi Qing saw Zhang Wei's appearance, and knew that he was going to run, so she quickly said with concern.
"It's okay. I have something to discuss with my father-in-law today, so I got up early. I was afraid that it would affect your rest, so I didn't call you. I ran around and became more energetic!" Zhang Wei stepped forward and rubbed Yuying's little head again before turning onto the stairs.
Zhang did not go to wash and change clothes, and then the three of them went to the front hall to pay their respects, and then used breakfast with Yang Zhiyuan and his wife. Finally, the father-in-law and son-in-law went to the study together to discuss the food transport.
"My father-in-law, I brought forty boats when I came back this time. How much food does the prefect Wang have? If not, we will transport it twice more." Zhang Wei sat opposite Yang Zhiyuan and spoke first.
"Just about to talk about this matter in detail with you." Yang Zhiyuan showed a hint of helplessness on his face and said, "After receiving the order from the court, the prefect Wang wanted to complete the imperial assignment, but he did not want the price of food in Fengcheng to fluctuate too much. In this way, there are probably only 80,000 dans of food that can be transported directly there."
"Eighty thousand harbors of grain?" Zhang Wei was stunned. This was just four or five ships. Delivering to Hejian Mansion was like a drop in the bucket. He frowned and said, "Has the imperial court assigned this little?"
In Zhang Wei's expectation, even if the Hejian Prefecture has a population of millions and 80,000 harbors of grain is only enough to last for a few days. At least a few million harbors of grain can last for a period of time.
After being assigned to each prefecture, Fengcheng had to share about one million dan. After all, Fengcheng Mansion is a major prefecture, which requires about eighty ships, which is exactly two ships. But he never expected that Fengcheng Mansion only provided 80,000 dan of grain.
Sure enough, Yang Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "Of course not. The court's requirement for Fengcheng Mansion is at least 500,000 dan, preferably 800,000 to 1 million dan. Moreover, due to geographical location, the first batch must be delivered as soon as possible."
"What does the magistrate Wang mean?" Zhang Wei frowned and said, "I'm afraid that these 80,000 harbors of food will be impeached, right?"
Yang Zhiyuan said: "It is precisely because of this that the prefect Wang hopes that we can help Fengchengfu purchase grain. I asked you to come back for this reason. Otherwise, 80,000 harbors of grain would be enough for the ships at the port."
Looking at Zhang Wei frowned, Yang Zhiyuan said seriously: "This is the time for us to repay our favors. No matter what, we have to help the prefect Wang, and it involves millions of victims, which are also accumulating some good deeds. So no matter what, we must do this!"
"This is OK. After all, we have already married, and disaster relief is unavoidable!" Zhang Wei pondered for a moment and said, "But the acquisition is OK. Dongyang and Nanyue are relatively close, but it will take more than a month. Can you afford it?"
"My idea is to raise a hundred thousand delta to deliver it first. I believe that other governments will also ship it one after another, which will solve their urgent needs. Then we will also acquire it as soon as possible, and we must hurry before the cold winter!"
Yang Zhiyuan expressed his thoughts. Zhang Wei felt that he was really upright and persistent, so there was no such great pressure. He nodded and said, "You are right, so I will arrange it now and let someone set off to go to Dongyang and Nanyue to purchase grain as soon as possible."
"Don't be anxious first, there's something else!" Zhang Wei was about to go out, but Yang Zhiyuan called him again and said, "I hope you can transport the first batch of food in person!"
"You mean?" Zhang Wei was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly said, "My father-in-law, do you want me to go to Hejian Mansion to get to know the way?"
Seeing that he understood, Yang Zhiyuan nodded with relief and said, "Yes, our Yang family also has some business in Hejian Mansion. Since we want to transport food, this is a kindness. So you have to represent the master's family and have some contact with the government in Hejian Mansion."
In fact, Yang Zhiyuan had some contacts with the Hejian Mansion. The intention of his decision to let Zhang Wei go was naturally to pave the way for him, and gradually he had to share the resources in his hands with Zhang Wei, and then he could let go a little bit later.
If the Yang sisters had only one son and half of their daughters, Yang Zhiyuan might have started to retire. He has been struggling too much in recent years and has long been determined to retire. He had gradually moved to Shi Qing's hands, but later he stopped because of overseas affairs.
It was mainly developed by Zhang Wu, which is much larger than the industries he has been struggling over the years. The shipbuilding industry on Crescent Island is several times that of all the industries he had previously placed, not to mention that Crescent Island has other industries.
"Okay, then I'll go to Hejian Mansion to get to know them, and by the way, you can also recruit some people for Crescent Island." Zhang Wei nodded and thought of Crescent Island in an instant.
Now Crescent Island is about to occupy Shijianguo. In addition, Liuqiu's side, the port and land should be in place. It just so happened that this time I went to Hejian Prefecture to transport grain. When I came back, I didn't have to return empty ships and extradite a group of refugees.
It is best to recruit a group of craftsmen and scholars. Although it is difficult to find scholars, it depends on the degree of this drought. If you don’t eat enough, you will still starve to death regardless of whether you are a scholar or not.
"Okay! Then let them prepare as soon as possible and strive to set off tomorrow!"
