Chapter 330(1/2)
Ruan Weining and Ji Wan are really destined to be together. Both of them were on the same month on their birthdays. Ji Wan was on the Chinese Valentine's Day and Ruan Weining was on the first day of the July 2017. She only invited Ji Wan and a few handkerchiefs to share, and set up a banquet to celebrate.
Brother Xing was trying to go with him, but Ji Wan had no choice but to take him with her. Brother Yan was too young, and Dou was reluctant to let him get tired of the boat and ride, so he stayed in the mansion.
Sister Yao is over half a year old and can climb now. She is wearing a pink shirt and sitting in her own cradle with a bunch of toys around her. Ji Wan took off her son's shoes and carried him to the couch next to her, saying, "Don't bully my sister, otherwise I won't take you out in the future."
Brother Xing nodded vigorously.
"Know."
Ji Wan touched his head, sat down and chatted with Ruan Weining and others, and naturally talked about Xiao Wen and Ruan Weiluo.
"After my second brother came back, I have been raising him for several months and have been in good health. My second aunt has been busy telling him about marriage, but she didn't expect that she would have a marriage with your sister."
"Not?"
Ji Wan smiled and said, "I was very surprised when my mother talked about it that day, but it was still pretty good. Awen is simple and gentle, not fighting. If she marrys your second brother, I won't worry about her being wronged."
Ruan Weining smiled, "My second brother has been raised in the mountains for many years. He has a simple temperament and noble character. In the past, he didn't care much about marriage and always worried about his own health... he was afraid of misleading others. Now that he has recovered from his illness, he has to have a beautiful wife. When he is happy, he will definitely treat your sister kindly."
Not only Shuangxi, isn’t there a title from Changning Bo Mansion? Three Xi is still the same.
Ji Wan smiled but said nothing.
Dou asked with a smile, "When is the wedding date?"
"It's still early." Ji Wan said with a smile: "Awen is only fourteen, and she will not get married at least next year and after the hairpin."
She returned to Xiao’s house a few days ago.
Since she had made a marriage, it must have been approved by Xiao Wen, and naturally I had seen Ruan Weiluo. Xiao Wen no longer nostalgic for Yuan Dalang, and after this incident, she matured a lot, and she looked a little calm and restrained. When she mentioned Ruan Erlang, her expression was also light and soft. Looking at her appearance, she was still very satisfied with Ruan Weiluo. However, after being hurt once, the little girl was much more cautious this time and was not so easy to indulge.
Ji Wan still believes in her grandmother's vision. Since she fell in love with Ruan Weiluo, this person's character is really good. There is a word called "Fall in love over time". When Xiao Wen gets married, the couple will meet day and night, and they will gradually develop a relationship.
She suddenly thought of Ji Yun again.
Ji Yun is fifteen this year and was engaged last year. When Brother Xing turned one year old, his aunt said that Ji Yun was married in September. In this huge capital, she was just a little person and lived in Ji's house. No one paid attention to who her parents were.
Ji Ping followed the army to suppress the bandits last year and performed outstandingly. He is now a centurion. Although he is not a big official, he is still young and has opportunities in the future. Neighbors all say that a civilian can be so promising, and can also be glorious. Ji Yun, the cousin, gained some wealth and married a family with some family, which is similar to when he was in the Yuan family.
The two sisters Ji Xiang and Ji Lan are also going to kiss...
Thinking of this, Ji Wan couldn't help but feel dazed. Seven years have passed. The little girls and girls in the mountain villages and countryside have all grown into big girls. The ones who get engaged, the ones who get married, and even herself have become mothers.
The longer you stay in this world, the more you will remember the past life. Perhaps as time goes by, it will be drowned little by little. On one day many years later, when you look back, you will no longer see the past, but only in front of you.
For Ji Wan, there is nothing to be sad about.
The life of her previous life was insignificant to her, and she would lose it. In this life, she had parents, relatives, husband and son. Why did she still have to miss the weirdness of the family in her previous life?
...
Qi Jin was indeed efficient in his work. He quickly recruited Ji Wan to more than a dozen businessmen from all over the world. After seeing the deliciousness and popularity of hot pot, he was very eager to invest. As for what Ji Wan proposed, they naturally had no objection to having her sign on. After all, it was the exclusive secret recipe for others. It was logically reserved for future generations. It was extremely generous to promote it to the public, so naturally they had to keep their name.
As a businessman, of course, interests are the first priority. As long as you can make money, do you still care about who your banner is under?
More than a dozen wealthy businessmen who were doing catering got the hot pot recipe and the business methods granted by Ji Wan, so they returned to their hometowns. The signature of Ji's hot pot was Ji Wan's. These people had to go to the government to register and obtain the government's documents, which was equivalent to a business license before they could open a branch.
Hotpot is different from restaurants. Both tableware, tableware, tables and chairs have to be rebuilt, and the kitchen has to be renovated.
These things alone took several months. It was not until the end of the year that hot pot restaurants in various places opened one after another. Sure enough, such fresh food was loved by the public. The hot pot business was booming, and the materials purchased daily doubled, and the market channels were no longer satisfied. So they could only go to rural farmers to purchase them regularly, and farmers began to raise chickens, ducks, fish and meat. The government issued another notice to encourage villagers to reclaim wasteland and grow vegetables and fruits.
The promotion of hot pot directly increases farmers' income, and their living standards will naturally improve.
What followed was opening branches everywhere.
Of course, Dayan has a vast territory and countless towns and counties of all sizes. It is not possible to cover the whole country with hot pot in a short while, at least it will take years.
The taxes paid by merchants increased year by year. With sufficient treasury, the armament provided by border soldiers will be more sufficient, which is also a preparation for the future attack on Beidi.
This is a later story.
In a blink of an eye, it is another year of spring, with flowers and green willows and spring full of spring.
Ji Wan sat next to the swing in the garden, with thick mountain books piled on the stone table next to her. Her own hot pot restaurant is actually mainly distributed around Yancheng and Beijing. Other branches opened by merchants only need to give her a fixed dividend every year, and the property rights are not in her hands. There is a reason why she is so generous. This dynasty emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business, but if the merchants dominate the family and eat too much, they can reach a point where they are rich enough to compete with the country, the superiors will inevitably feel unhappy.
Emperor Mingde is a rare magnanimous and kind-hearted king. But no matter how generous he is, he cannot see his ministers being richer and extravagant than himself, right?
Besides, Ji Wan is no longer an ordinary citizen, she is still the young wife of a public family. Since ancient times, she has been married to her husband, and the money she earns is still left to her descendants? The Lu family is already noble enough. No matter how rich it is, no matter how broad the emperor is, it is impossible for him to be calm.
One prospers and one prospers and one loses.
How could she bring trouble to Lu Feili to the Lu family?
Although no one thinks that money is too much, people must also know how to be content. Too much greedy will lead to mistakes! Anyway, she relies on those stores, and her annual income is already very considerable, which is enough.
These books are not only hot pot restaurants, workshops, snack shops, and her dowry shops. Although there are many, they only read them once a quarter, which is not too heavy. Chu Yuyuan's common affairs are managed by two nannies inside and outside, so she doesn't worry much.
Brother Xing is two years old and can run away long ago.
He was very naughty and couldn't stay in the house, so he ran out every day. At this moment, he was riding a craftsman specially made for him in the garden, and the old man pulled him away in front of him. The little guy was very excited and shouted "Go" from time to time.
Ji Wan was afraid that he would be crazy and that his servants could not control it, so she moved out the account book. While checking the accounts, she looked up from time to time and told him to be careful.
Lu Feili has been very busy in the past two years, so he is naturally busy with important military and political affairs.
For example, border garrison, formulating new military regulations, recruiting troops, etc.
The sweat-blooded BMWs sent from the Western Regions last year were different from those of the war horses of the Great Swallow, so the horse grass they fed had to be found separately. For this matter, the Ministry of Works was busy in the dark for the past few months.
In order to breed, the original horse farm was expanded dozens of times.
The Ministry of War will prepare equipment for these war horses, etc.
Maybe it was too busy, so the ministers didn't have much intention to do anything about power. In the past two years, the Ministry of Justice has become idle.
Another thing, Ji Wan heard from Lu Feili that Jiang Yuan had not returned to Beijing until now in order to investigate geography and draw maps. He saw that this was the rhythm of traveling every inch of land in Dayan.
Men are busy with their careers, but they will suffer from the women at home.
Yan Ming has been married for more than a year, and the couple separated from each other. I don’t know when Jiang Yuan will come back after leaving. Mrs. Jiang’s wish to hold her grandson can only be postponed.
But now she figured it out that her grandson's future is the most important. Anyway, the couple is still young, so there are more opportunities in the future.
Bang--
After closing the last account book, Ji Wan let out a breath, looked up at her son who had been riding a wooden horse and wandering along the lake for several times, and said, "Brother Xing, stop playing, come here quickly."
The old lady who was pulling the horse stopped and wanted to hug the young master, but Brother Xing jumped off the ground and ran to Ji Wan.
"mother."
His face turned red and his shoes were stained with dust.
"Let you not run so fast and not listen."
Ji Wan tapped his nose, cursed, and ordered someone to bring clean shoes and replace them with them.
Brother Xing smiled and reached out to grab the snacks on the stone table.
"It's all cold, and eating it is not good for your stomach."
Ji Wan grabbed his son's dirty hand, and couldn't help but glar at him, and led him to walk into the house while instructing the maid to prepare fresh pastries again.
The account books on the table are naturally cleaned up.
Soon the maid brought hot water, Ji Wan was washing her son's hands, Bai Feng put a curtain in, saying that Sister Qing was getting hot again, and the second young lady sent someone to invite her to have a look.
Ji Wan sighed when she heard this.
Since she was born, Sister Qing was weak and she often had fever and illness when she was still in her infancy. Fortunately, there was Ji Wan, who was good at medical skills in the mansion, and the maid and the mother-in-law were careful to take care of her, she recovered quickly every time. If she were born in an ordinary family, she would have died a long time ago.
This is the sorrow of the union of close relatives.
"Go and take out my medicine box."
"yes."
Ji Wan was going to see Sister Qing, so naturally she could not take her naughty son and told her carefully: "Qingqing is sick, and now she wants to go over to see her. You just stay in the room and listen to the wet nurse and don't run around. Do you know?"
When Brother Xing heard this, he pulled her sleeve and said softly: "I want to go too."
"no."
Brother Xing immediately raised his mouth, and the boss was unhappy.
Ji Wan whispered, "Brother Xing, be good, will you make meatballs for you tonight?"
Brother Xing’er’s eyes lit up.
He likes to eat meatballs the most. But he is only two years old and has weak gastrointestinal function, so Ji Wan usually doesn't let him eat too much. Now, don't you be happy when you hear this?
"good."
"So well-behaved."
Ji Wan kissed her son on the face with reward, and then gave a few words to the wet nurse and maid who served him, leaving Bai Yun behind, and then asked Bai Feng to follow her to Xiaolan's house with the medicine box.
Qingjie'er only turned one year old last month.
She has congenital deficiencies, and her development is slower than that of ordinary children, and she still can't stand firmly. The little girl is beautiful, but she is thin and doesn't grow very well no matter how fine she is raised. Because she is sick, her face is a little flushed, and she lies there with her eyes closed, which makes people feel heartbroken.
Xiao Lan was guarding the side, with tears in her eyes.
The maid's chant came from outside the door, and the third young lady was here.
