Chapter 178: Give Name
Ye Chunqiu felt sorry for his son who was in Zhu Houzhao's hand and hurriedly carried him over.
Looking at the boy with his eyes slightly open in the cradle, Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but feel happy.
The child's facial features were still a little wrinkled, and he couldn't tell the difference, but his legs kept kicking. Zhu Houzhao, who was beside him, said, "I'll give the child a name?"
Ye Chunqiu hesitated a little.
Zhu Houzhao said, "You took Yao'er's name. Now I have to give this child a name. Well, I will give you a nickname. I will get a nickname. In the future, I will give you a big name."
Ye Chunqiu could not resist him, so he had to say, "I would like to give him a name."
Zhu Houzhao pondered for a moment and said, "This child looked a little intimate with me. I am the king of ten thousand islands. I heard that Qinhuangdao was named after Qinhuang seeks immortal medicine. Well... well... During the Qin and Han dynasties, many people set sail to sea to visit immortals. Maybe... just call it Xiaohai."
Xiaohai...
This is too difficult...
Ye Chunqiu was a little disagreeable. Just as he was about to speak, Old Lady Ye, who was stretching her head to tease the child, cheered up and bowed to Zhu Houzhao: "Thank you Your Majesty to give your name, and the grass people will be crushed to pieces, so it is hard to repay you."
Zhu Houzhao suddenly became extremely proud.
Ye Chunqiu sighed silently, thinking that this was just a nickname, but it was okay. When you choose a big name in the future, it would be better to pay more attention to it.
Wang Shouren, who followed everyone in, was worried that his sister would not be able to go in and visit him. However, when Ye Chunqiu said that it was safe, he felt relieved. He followed everyone around the child, but the child started crying, but Zhu Houzhao looked experienced and said that the child was hungry, so he handed the child over to the wet nurse for feeding.
Ye Chunqiu knew that Wang Jingchu had fallen asleep peacefully and the child was left to the wet nurse to take care of him, so he accompanied Zhu Houzhao and others to retreat.
Zhu Houzhao was obviously sleepy. Now that the child was born, he returned to the palace with satisfaction.
However, the Ye family is busy now, and now they have a happy son. Many people have received news and come to congratulate early in the morning.
As the saying goes, no one is concerned about the poverty in the downtown area, no one knows it far away in the mountains. After all, the Ye family is no longer the Ye family as before, so there are endless people coming to congratulate.
Old Lady Ye has not slept all night, and is old and extremely tired, so she took a rest. The welcome and sending him to Ye Song and Ye Dong, while Ye Chunqiu returned to the study and wrote a letter to his father who was far away in Ningxia to announce the good news.
The young minister of Dali Temple who was on duty now sits in Ningxia, and Ningxia has improved a little. It is said that my father has a high prestige in Ningxia. A few days ago, he even suppressed a group of horse thieves.
Ye Chunqiu ordered people to send their letters out quickly, but he was tired. He took a nap on the sand in the study. After waking up, he learned that Wang Jingchu had not yet gotten up, so he wanted to go and see the child, but Ye Song walked in small steps and said, "Chunqiu, then Minister Lu is here again. This time he brought a generous gift. This is a gift list. Can Chunqiu see him?"
Ye Chunqiu took the gift list and looked at it, and his face couldn't help but feel a little solemn. This gift list is indeed rich, and it can even be described as wealthy. The gold alone is 3,000 taels.
In this era, gold prices were extremely valuable, with 3,000 taels of gold. Even Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but be moved. In addition, there were various calligraphy and paintings, beautiful jade, and jade.
Ye Chunqiu put away the gift list and said, "Are you still outside?"
"Yes, I asked Ye Dong to entertain him, but judging by this, he wanted to see Chunqiu."
Ye Chunqiu felt active. He first secretly asked someone to blow up the gunpowder depot in Qinhuangdao, and then gave him a generous gift, first the troops and then the gift. It seemed that these people were indeed in a hurry to stamp their feet.
Ye Chunqiu said to Ye Song: "Then let's meet him and invite him to the main hall. Later, the second uncle will be with him."
Ye Song looked at Ye Chunqiu deeply and nodded to say yes.
Ye Chunqiu quickly walked to the main hall and sat down there not long after, Lu Wenjie came in with a smile. When he saw Ye Chunqiu, he raised his hand and bowed: "Congratulations, congratulations to Duke Zhenguo, haha, it's really gratifying to have a noble son."
Ye Chunqiu also smiled and said, "Where is Mr. Lu, please sit down."
Lu Wenjie sat down, and Ye Song asked someone to pour tea.
Ye Chunqiu looked at Lu Wenjie and saw that there was still a smile on his face, and he looked silent.
When the tea came, Lu Wenjie picked up the teacup, but did not drink it. Instead, he smiled and said, "Duke Zhenguo is really young and promising. He has married a beautiful wife over the years and was granted a title of Duke. Now he has a new student. It is really enviable for others."
Ye Chunqiu said: "It's just that Lord Lu spent money."
He pointed out the generous gift directly.
Lu Wenjie stroked his beard boldly and said, "If it's nothing, it's just a small gift, it won't be respectful. Duke Zhenguo, many of our Zhejiang elders rely on you."
To Ye Chunqiu, this sentence obviously has no intention. Relying on himself, what he wants to say is the smuggling wealthy families. Is this time here to seek peace? First, he burned the gunpowder depot to threaten it, and then gave it a sweet date, hoping that he could be proud of himself?
At this time, Lu Wenjie continued to smile and said, "In fact, many people have been named Duke Mu Zhen for a long time and have wanted to come to visit him. Speaking of which, Lu is ashamed that this little gift is not comparable to theirs."
This is obviously a hint that three thousand taels of gold are just small gifts. According to the conversion of gold and silver, this move is fifty thousand taels of silver. In addition, there are other people, and the gifts of others are even more generous.
This is a bribery, or rather, just blatantly tell Ye Chunqiu that as long as their big deal can continue, they don’t mind making Ye Chunqiu a smuggling profiteer, and there may even be ice and charcoal in the future. In short, the benefits of Zhenguo Mansion are indispensable.
These wealthy families are obviously rich and powerful. As soon as they take action, they give others a condition that they cannot refuse.
Ye Chunqiu lowered his head and took a sip of tea, raised his eyes, but looked at Lu Wenjie and said, "It's just... I don't like to eat fish."
This was an inexplicable sentence, Lu Wenjie frowned and looked at Ye Chunqiu steadily.
Ye Chunqiu continued: "And...even if you eat fish, instead of lying at home and waiting for someone to send fish, Ye prefers to go fishing by himself. It's better to take the fish back. When do you want to eat fish? Ye will fight by himself. It's better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. The water is full of gold..." Ye Chunqiu looked at Lu Wenjie with a smile and said: "I have no shortage of great mountains of gold and silver, so why don't you send them to Ye?"
Lu Wenjie immediately understood what Ye Chunqiu meant, and his face looked a little ugly. He originally wanted to create difficulties for Ye Chunqiu and send gold again, and secretly promised that there would be more benefits. He thought Ye Chunqiu would surrender, but he expected that this guy would never repent.
