Chapter 64 The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more pleasing she becomes (please subscribe!)
Without direct rejection, it seems that there is still a chance! Ouyang Lun also knew very well that this kind of matter should not be rushed. After all, it is a matter that violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty. No one should think carefully before talking about it.
So he nodded decisively, "This matter really needs to be thought about clearly!"
"In this case, please Uncle Ma and Aunt Ma go back and think about it carefully and give me an answer as soon as possible."
After that, Queen Ma pulled Zhu Yuanzhang out of the camp, and Mao Xiang, Jiang Yu and others quickly followed.
After a while.
The men came in to report.
"Sir, after Mr. and Mrs. Ma left the construction site, except for Mao Da and a few others, the others all rushed towards the capital."
Hearing this, Zhou Bao reminded him carefully: "Master, do you think the Ma family will sell us?"
"Zhu Laoba and Ma's family," Ouyang Lun muttered, his eyes gradually becoming complicated.
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided." After a moment, Ouyang Lun stood up and said, "Let's go and inspect the next construction site. It's a pity that we didn't recruit a talent like Uncle Ma!"
On the way back to the capital.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face remained gloomy, causing the entire convoy to look dead silent.
"Sister, you shouldn't stop us, it would be easier if we just kill that guy Ouyang Lun!"
Empress Ma said calmly: "Kill Ouyang Lun, who will build the cement road for you? Who will build the cement road for you?"
"Is it possible that you really want to be a supervisor on the construction site for the rest of your life?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "Sister, you know, this is not what we are talking about."
"Work-for-relief. This method is indeed good. The imperial court can also learn from it in the future. However, going to sea for trade is a blatant violation of the imperial court's prohibition. He wants to drag me into the sea with him. He is simply looking for death!"
"This is what you and I heard. If the censors of the imperial court hear it, then countless memorials to impeach him will fly like snowflakes to my Long Case. Does he really think that I am reluctant to kill him?!"
The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more angry he became.
This Ouyang Lun is simply testing his bottom line like crazy.
"Chongba, you really can't kill this kid Ouyang Lun."
"You were also present at that time. Everything he said was for the people of Yong'an Mansion, especially the sentence about repaying the people's money in full, and dividing the money of the princes and nobles into three-quarters. I think this is very good!" Empress Ma said quickly.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression temporarily froze, and he began to recall what Ouyang Lun said at that time, and finally his cheeks began to twitch.
He is now more and more suspicious that what Ouyang Lundang said is all deception, and it is almost deceiving him! Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have thought of something.
"Sister, do you think that boy Ouyang Lun guessed something?"
"Chongba, are you saying that Ouyang Lun already knows our identities?" Queen Ma looked suddenly confused.
"No, no." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, "He may not know our true identity, but he is definitely beginning to suspect that we have something to do with the court or the royal family!"
"He talks about overseas trade in front of us without any scruples. Isn't he afraid that we will report him when we return to the capital?"
Queen Ma nodded, "So Ouyang Lun is not worried that we will report him. Instead, he hopes to pass this matter to our ears through our mouths, and wants to see our reaction and finally determine whether this matter can Can not do?"
"That's right!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "This boy is so scheming! With eight hundred tricks, I was almost fooled by him."
"Who can be as smart as you Zhu Chong?" Empress Ma chuckled and said: "I think it is normal for Ouyang Lun to do this. At least this method is the safest method at present. He dares to let us know that he has this idea. , at least he has no selfish motives."
Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Sister, have you been brainwashed by him? He has deceived us into this, and you still speak for him!?" "Chongba, don't you know there is a saying? Does the mother-in-law look more and more pleased with her son-in-law?" Queen Ma retorted: "For a son-in-law, I am not too concerned about whether Ouyang Lun is a corrupt official, but I am very concerned about him and his daughter Anqing living happily."
"I went to see my daughter. She is living a better and happier life than we imagined."
"You also know that Anqing has suffered from hair loss since she was a child, and she has low self-esteem as a princess. It was Ouyang Lun who cured his hair loss. I originally thought that she would not be used to living in remote places like Kaiping County and Funing County, but Ouyang Lun Every time Lun changed places, he would build a luxurious government office to make Anqing's life better than living in the palace. Ouyang Lun would also personally cook delicious food for Anqing and accompany Anqing on outings and sightseeing tours."
The more she talked, the more Empress Ma envied her daughter, and even her voice became resentful.
Cough The more Zhu Yuanzhang listened, the more something was wrong. As a husband, compared with Ouyang Lun, he looked particularly stretched out.
"Hmph, what can a man do if he hangs around women every day?" Zhu Yuanzhang said stubbornly.
"It's not a big future. It means saving millions of shi of food in three years, saving the famine in the Ming Dynasty for three years, raising tens of millions of taels of silver to build roads for the people, and keeping the people well fed and clothed warmly." Empress Ma He said calmly.
"Forehead"
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.
At this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly.
"Jiang Wei, why did you stop?"
"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan is in front."
Jiang Yu hurriedly replied.
"Di'er? Why is that boy here?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised.
"My son pays homage to my father and queen mother!"
Zhu Di's voice sounded outside the carriage.
"come in."
"Yes."
Soon, Zhu Di poked his head in.
"Di'er, how did you know that I and your mother are here?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Returning to my father, I have received news from my mother, so you were trapped in Funing County, so I came to rescue you and happened to meet you." Zhu Di explained quickly.
"It's indeed the letter I sent to Di'er." Empress Ma nodded, "I heard that you were trapped on the construction site that day, and I was worried that something would happen to you, so..."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Send the letter from Funing County to Beiping, and then come back from Beiping. You came fast enough!"
"I'm afraid you're already on the way, right?"
"Tell me, what is your real purpose in coming to Yong'an Mansion?!"
When Zhu Di saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had pointed it out, he did not dare to hide it, "Back to my father, I do have something to do when I come to Yong'an Mansion. I want to earn some pocket money with Brother Lun, my fourth brother-in-law Ouyang Lun."
After saying that, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with strange eyes, as if to say, aren't you just like me?
"Yong'an bonds have been sold out, you don't have to go." Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.
Zhu Di nodded, "Father, I know this. I have already bought 20 Yong'an bonds. This time I go for a bigger business!"
