Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

Chapter 275

In the evening, Yunyao returned to Yanhuang Port with a group of more than 20 soldiers and a dozen ore prospecting professionals.As soon as he walked into the office building, he saw a very familiar person, the housekeeper Li Chongzhou.

Li Chongzhou had been managing various affairs in Daqing before. He had never been to Xiazhou before, and this time he came with him. Seeing the situation here, it was much better than he imagined. The hanging stone in his heart Finally landed.He has very good adaptability, he didn't feel uncomfortable when he came here, he immediately jumped up and down, getting to know people from all walks of life, so that he can work for the two masters in the future.

"Fujin." Now that Li Chongzhou had almost understood the affairs of the mansion, he ran to the office building. The officials were working, and the guards were on guard. He didn't want to disturb him, so he asked the cleaners for the office building to chat with them. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it will always allow him to get acquainted with the affairs of Yanhuang Port faster.

Yun Yao nodded, then turned around and told all the staff to go back to rest, it will be late, and the matter of the iron mine will be discussed tomorrow.

These people didn't know Li Chongzhou, they just thought it was the people whom Madam knew who asked her to do things, and after saluting, they left one after another.

Yun Yao turned around and said with a smile: "Butler, how long have you been here?" Butler Li is here, which means that Li Xie is in the office building.

Li Chongzhou said with a smile: "Fu Jin, we arrived before noon. The master and the second master are in the office building, and the residence of the second master and Er Fujin is arranged next door to our mansion."

The place where Yunyao lives is called Xia Ning Street, and there have always been some vacant mansions. Apart from the mansions of Li Xie and Yunyao, some important generals and officials of the first and second ranks of Yanhuang Port also live there, but they are not They live next to Yunyao and the others, both on the opposite side or on the street not far away.

Yun Yao raised her eyebrows: "Second master and Er Fujin? So the second elder brother was abolished after all?" Anyway, it was also abolished in history, and when Yunyao traveled to the Qing Dynasty for the first time, Yinfeng was also abolished , I can't stand him enjoying too much of Kangxi's pampering alone. It's a strange thing not to be pulled down by the brothers.

Li Chongzhou smiled and said: "Yes, in September last year, Suo'etu sent someone to assassinate Prince Bao, but Suo'etu was not lucky enough. At that time, Prince Bao was with the emperor, and the emperor was angry, so he sent Suo'etu to the The big prison did not anger the Hesheli family too much, it was the emperor's kindness. At the beginning of December, the second master was deposed as the prince and moved to Zhengjiazhuang. It was because of the brother's love that he took the second master away. "

Talking while walking, Li Chongzhou gave a general account of what happened in the Qing Dynasty in one year. Yun Yao listened carefully, but she did not break away from her guess.

This side of Yanhuanggang has been supported by Yunyao all these years, so her office is on the second floor, so that when subordinates and officials look for her, they have to climb up to the seventh floor, which is a waste of time.

At this time, in Yunyao's office, Li Xie and Yinfeng were talking.

When Yunyao and Li Chongzhou came, they happened to hear Li Xie talking about the future development of Yanhuang Port and that Xiazhou would definitely establish a country within five years at the fastest, and ten years at the slowest.

"Second brother, Fujin and I will not be able to have children in this lifetime, so in the future, the heirs can only work hard for you and the second sister-in-law." Li Xie said clearly.

The porcelain cup in Yinreng's hand could barely hold it. He had just left the vortex of the Qing Dynasty and came to Yanhuang Port. Although he saw the development of Yanhuang Port and expected the future of Xiazhou, he never thought about it. Guo wanted to replace the fourth brother, and when he heard the fourth brother say this suddenly, he was taken aback again.

Yinfeng stammered and said: "How could it be? Is it your body or the body of the fourth sibling? Can't it be cured?"

Li Xie smiled lightly: "There is no cure, I met an old monk, he told me that I killed too much in my previous life, it didn't affect my lifespan and marriage, but the retribution was on my children."

Yun Yao almost couldn't help laughing, this person's ability to tell nonsense with his eyes open is getting smoother and smoother.

As for Li Chongzhou, he was already in a dream, his expression was either crying or smiling, with a depressed face, he walked in with Yunyao on the same hand and foot.

"Second Brother, welcome to Xiazhou, to Yanhuang Port!" Yun Yao was wearing a black dress, her hair was tied in braids behind her head, and she looked very heroic.

Li Xie couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Yun Yao, Yun Yao stretched out her hand to cover his face, and said with an annoyed smile, "Don't let the second brother see the joke."

Li Xie raised his eyebrows. He glanced at Li Chongzhou. He naturally knew what kind of blow he had suffered. The housekeeper was probably still imagining the scene where the young masters would rule Yanhuang Port in the future after they were born, but now this imagination was shattered. .

Yinfeng is indeed a little embarrassed, although he has observed from Yanhuang Port today that the atmosphere here is very open, and it is nothing for men and women to confess their love and hold hands.

"Second brother, don't doubt what my grandfather said, we really can't have children, so the next generation of heirs can only choose from the children of you and the second sister-in-law. But this is just a prediction, because the situation on Xiazhou's side is still unclear. Maybe when the country was founded, Xiazhou’s system was different from that of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, without the emperor, there would still be a supreme leader on Xiazhou’s side, but if it is not the emperor’s hereditary system, then the supreme leader may Not only people from the Aixinjueluo family are eligible to participate, but anyone who is capable in Xiazhou can compete."

Yinfeng was taken aback when he heard that it wasn't the emperor's hereditary system, what kind of system was that?Who is willing to give up the throne of the emperor to others?

Yun Yao hooked the corners of her mouth and continued: "But second brother, I want to tell you first that the marriage system here in Xiazhou is monogamous, so the law here only recognizes you and second sister-in-law as husband and wife, Li Jia Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin all do not recognize their status. But because you are newcomers, and several children were owned before you came here, then five nephews and nieces are named under your father's name, and Li Jia Shi, Lin and the others, second brother, what are you going to do?"

Li Xie picked up the teacup and sipped tea, Yinreng's whole face was wrinkled, he first glanced at Li Xie, then at Yun Yao, and said helplessly: "Then, what's so good about the fourth sibling?" suggestion?"

Yun Yao coughed, and then said: "Now the five nephews and nieces are all treated as legitimate children. If the second elder brother has children with Li Jia and Lin in the future, then these children are not the product of marriage, but Products outside of marriage will not have the right to have children in a normal marriage, so Li Jia and the others are legal in the Qing Dynasty as the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth, so Xiazhou's side is the outer room, and the Qing side's outer room is okay. Xia Zhou does not have the right to become a legal concubine, unless the second brother legally marries her as his wife."

"That's impossible!" Yinfeng said categorically that the Guerjia family is his wife, and he will continue to marry the next wife unless he reconciles with the Guerjia family or the Guerjia family dies, and it is impossible for him to take his wife If you kill him, you can legally marry a concubine as your wife, right?

Yinreng glanced at Li Xie resentfully, and said quietly: "Fourth brother, you didn't tell me before."

Li Xie bluntly said: "Forgot." He didn't forget, he didn't take it to heart at all, not to mention that Xia Zhou lacked women, especially young and beautiful women, it would be great if they remarried.

"By the way, the second brother went back to discuss with the second sister-in-law, and tried to get the household registration done as soon as possible. The household registration can include all the servants, Li Jiashi and others, but except the second sister-in-law and you are husband and wife, the nephews are with you. The relationship between father and son, father and daughter, the servants and Li Jiashi who serve you have nothing to do with you in terms of household registration. They can only be attached to the household registration as servants. Of course, they can also buy a house by themselves and then be the head of the household. Or after marriage, the household registration is transferred to the husband."

Yinfeng's head drooped all of a sudden, how should he face them when he goes back?

Xia Ning Street is just behind the commercial buildings on the opposite side of the square. The gap between a block of buildings is like a world, a manifestation of the two extremes of noise and tranquility.

At this time, Mrs. Guarjia had already brought the servants around to get acquainted with the mansion allocated to them, and the two nuns were also ordered to go to the streets to learn about the world.It's just that after the two nuns came back, they told Guarjia and the others about the basic situation they found out. Everyone was stunned, especially Li Jia and Lin.

Xia Zhou's marriage system made Li Jia's four people completely confused, monogamy system?So what about the four of them?

Li Xie, Yun Yao and Yin Reng separated at the door, and asked him to bring his sister-in-law and children over for dinner later, which was a way to welcome his arrival.

Yinreng stood at the door for a while, and then sighed for a long time before stepping into the door. As soon as he entered the yard, he was startled by the staring eyes of Li Jiashi and Lin Shi.

He stabilized his mind, walked in slowly, walked to the top position in the hall, coughed, and said: "Do you all know the marriage system here in Xiazhou?"

The four of Li Jia's family had just arrived, and they suddenly knew that when they came to Xiazhou, they had nothing to do with their father. The only relationship might be that one was the child's father and the other was the child's mother, but the two of them had no relationship. relationship, their status and money are not guaranteed.

"Master, let's go back to the Qing Dynasty. Xia Zhou is too crazy. I can't accept it. What should I do, big girl?" As soon as Li Jia said this, the three Lins agreed.

Yinfeng rubbed his forehead, then sat down on the chair behind him, and said, "It's impossible to go back to the Qing Dynasty. Everyone is tired today. Let's settle down first. Tomorrow, I'll go to the Marriage Registration Office and the Household Registration Office of the Government Affairs Building to ask. What’s going on with the household registration and marriage system here, what others say is always hearsay, I want to listen to the explanations from the officials of the marriage registration office and the household registration office.”

The four of Li Jia's couldn't help wringing their hands together. Compared to being a prisoner in the Qing Dynasty, the second master was freed in Xiazhou, and the second master was still the elder brother of the fourth master. There were only their brothers and two brothers here. People, brothers join hands to govern Xiazhou, even if the second master is only a deputy, it is better than being trapped in the Qing Dynasty for a lifetime.

But what do they do?In terms of marriage, their identities are not recognized. Do they want to be the lover of the second master for the rest of their lives?They couldn't accept it, especially Li Jiashi. Although she was a concubine, she had a wedding at the beginning and wore a wedding dress. Her status in the Qing Dynasty was legal, but it became illegal here. Go crazy!

"Master, don't you want us anymore?" Li Jiashi and the others yelled, holding back their fear.

Yinfeng's expression froze, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The marriage system here is monogamy, and it is impossible to change or accommodate for me. The children are still my children, and they enjoy the rights of children born in wedlock. If I have another child with you in the future, then these children will be illegitimate children. At most, I will pay a little support to raise them, but they will not enjoy any legal rights. That is the money I will fight for in the future They are not eligible to inherit, even if I distribute it to them against my will, it will be rejected by the Marriage Law. Therefore, in order to prevent the children from enjoying their legitimate rights and interests, it is impossible for us to have any more children in the future."

Li Jiashi and Lin Shi couldn't help squatting down and crying loudly, Guarjiashi lowered her head, she couldn't say anything, she was naturally happy with the marriage system here, which completely protected the rights of the wife.But it is impossible for her to be completely indifferent to what happened to Li Jiashi and the others.

Yinfeng sighed and said: "Even if we are not husband and wife, I will always take care of you." Until you have a better future, whether it is remarriage or other achievements.

He thought of his fourth sibling. When the fourth child was in the Qing Dynasty, Xiazhou's affairs were completely dominated by her. She propped up Xiazhou's sky and built it from scratch. Even he didn't dare to guarantee it. He will do better than the four younger siblings.

Li Jiashi and the others were full of expectations for a new life in the future, but now they are desperate. They dare not imagine, what will happen to them in the future?

Next door, after Yunyao and Lixie entered the gate, the two of them were overjoyed, if only they could ignore the smiling butler Li Chongzhou behind them.

"Housekeeper, it doesn't matter whether you have children or not. You haven't been married all your life, and you don't have a son or a daughter under your knees. Haven't you lived a good life?"

In view of the fact that Li Chongzhou has been with the fourth master for many years, and that the fourth master was in such a sensitive position before, he, Fu Ming, Lu Fei, and Gao Yue never thought about leaving. Li Xie treated the four of them as relatives, they couldn't understand Things, will not be indifferent, but will try to solve them.

Li Chongzhou didn't laugh or cry, and said with a dejected face: "That's different. I can't be happy when I think of giving up this family business to a nephew who is not the master's blood."

Li Xie and Yun Yao couldn't help crying and laughing, Li Xie patted the old man on the shoulder, and said: "There is no perfect life, isn't it more beautiful to leave some regrets?"

Li Chongzhou tried his best to squeeze out a smile, then wiped his tears with his sleeves, turned his back and said, "Don't worry about me, I will figure it out when I think about it." You have to figure it out, listen to what you said, it's not Fujin's problem , It's his problem, how can he still force Master to have a child?

Half an hour later, Li Chongzhou walked out from a certain corner as if nothing had happened, and then ran to the next door to urge Yinfeng and the others to come over for dinner.

Yunyao has already fully understood the affairs of the Qing Dynasty from Lixie. In fact, she can understand Kangxi's actions. In comparison, there is no doubt that he will definitely not choose the prince, sacrifice the prince, and save the other sons. This is a decision he must make after weighing, not to mention that Yinhu here is very capable.

Yinfeng dragged his family over, and even though Li Jiashi and the others cried bitterly just now, after cleansing their faces and putting on powder on their faces, the redness and swelling on their faces could hardly be seen.

Five kids slept through the day today, and it's going to look great.

Don't talk about heavy things at the table, basically Yunyao and Lixie are talking, they are talking about the plants, animals, indigenous people and so on in Xiazhou.

Because San Niu is a legitimate daughter, loved by her parents, she is more courageous than her younger brothers and sisters. When she heard an animal called a kangaroo, her eyes glowed and she exclaimed.

"Fourth uncle, where can fourth aunt see kangaroos?" It feels so cute!

Immediately, Yunyao focused on popularizing the life habits and growth environment of kangaroos, etc., and the five children's eyes lit up when they heard it.

After the meal, Li Xie and Yinreng sat together to talk, Yunyao, Guerjia and Li Jia got together to talk, Li Jia and Lin were not interested.

However, Yun Yao intentionally or unintentionally told all kinds of interesting stories about Yanhuang Port, among which there were many stories about the former concubines of rich merchants remarrying and gaining happiness after setting up their own family.

There is also a very notable example, that is, there was a self-supporting concubine who started her own business, and in the end the wealthy businessman almost went bankrupt, but she became a wealthy female businessman.This little concubine used to be the personal servant girl of the rich businessman's wife, helping her manage the middle income, but after she set up her own business, she became very successful in the business field. praised her.

Li Jiashi and the others have just arrived, Yunyao doesn't plan to say much today, after they get used to it, they will find that Xiazhou's life is much better than Daqing's.

The next day, Yinfeng led five women from the Guarjia family and the Li Jia family to appear in the marriage registration office and the household registration office management department. They are not the only ones, but most of the rich people who came here Usually, the only special situation is their relationship with Lixie, but this relationship is completely useless in front of the system.

"Second Lord, this is the marriage system in Xiazhou. Do you want to register with your wife and get a marriage certificate?" The official at the marriage registration office explained Xiazhou's marriage system in the same way as it involved the joint property of the husband and wife. After explaining, he continued: "Second Master, Second Madam, because our Xiazhou is in a special situation, the population is small, and the ratio of male to female is too serious, so this marriage system must fully protect the rights and interests of women, but wait for Xiazhou to develop. , the system will definitely change in the future.”

But no matter how it changes, it is impossible to change back to the system of monogamy and multiple concubines, but the distribution of property may change.

Yinfeng nodded heavily: "Okay, I'm just here today to find out. After I fully understand, I will come to get the marriage certificate."

The little official was still smiling slightly, and he must appease the concubine before he can get a marriage certificate with his wife, he understands!It's better for the fourth master. From the beginning to the end, there is only one woman, the wife. The relationship between husband and wife is harmonious and beautiful, which is reassuring to watch.

"There are people going to work here every day, the second master and the second wife just come to register when the time comes."

Later, when Yinfeng and the others went to the household registration office, they first inquired about the household registration system, and the small officials at the household registration office explained every item of the system in detail.

At the end, he said: "Second Master, if you and your wife want to register as the throne, it is best to go to the marriage registration office to obtain a marriage certificate before coming back, so that your household registration can be directly enthroned as husband and wife, and you don't need to change your household registration after receiving the marriage certificate." As for Others, either register separately, or register as servants, subordinate to the head of household.

Yinfeng nodded, thanked the little official, and then the six went home in silence.

Yunyao and Lixie couldn't take care of Yinfeng, they were both very busy, Yanhuanggang had a lot of affairs, although after Lixie came, they shared it, but there were still so many things to do, they were always too busy to finish !

In this way, the two have been busy for a month, and then came back to ask about Yinreng's affairs, and learned that all the procedures for them have been completed, and Yinreng is reading various books, trying to understand the situation of Yanhuang Port as quickly as possible. He had better devote himself to the construction of Xiazhou as soon as possible.

On this day, Yun Yao came back from the previous iron mine, all the formalities were completed, the manpower was also arranged, and she was about to mine.

She saw Guerjia and the others in the square. After a month of adaptation, Li Jia and Lin came out of the helplessness and despair. Anyway, even if they are not the second master's women, they are also the second master's children. , The future children will never ignore them.Seeing so many independent women on the street again, Li Jiashi and the others are already thinking, what should they do?You can't wait to die like this all the time.

The same is true for the Guerjia family. Although she is raised by the second master, they only brought gold, silver and jewelry here, and no real estate or land. channel.

Back home, Yunyao asked the steward to find out how Yinreng and his four concubines dealt with it. The household registrations of Li Jia's four were not registered under Yinreng's name, but they bought a house alone , became an independent household registration, but still lived under the same roof as Yinreng and Guarjia.All five children have gone to school, but these five children have adapted to the new life faster than adults. There are so many classmates in the school, and they can always find friends who can be friends with them. But after a few days, I got used to school life, and went to school consciously without the supervision of adults.

On the Qing side, Chunjun Wang Yinyou stayed in Guangzhou. While he was busy with his official duties, he was also looking for ships from Xiazhou in Macau and Hong Kong.Although Li Xie took most of the people to Xiazhou, there are still some people on the Qing side to continue the previous work, such as recruiting manpower from all walks of life, and women. Most of the women of all ages are bought with money. back.

Xiazhou is going to open up a second city, which is fifty miles southeast of Yanhuang Port. Now the official road and cement road have been built, and the city and village are being built near the end of the official road. After that, all the people recruited will be Settled in the new city.

This time the leading generals of the Qing Dynasty are Lu Fei and You Hua. They are now second-class generals and one of the highest-ranking generals in Xiazhou. Escorting the ship to Xiazhou is the most important thing, so sailing experience and A general with high military value.Lu Fei led five boats to Macau, and You Hua led five boats to the Kingdom of Lancang and Siam. The two parties agreed to meet on a small island not far from the Sultanate in two months, and then Let's go back to Xiazhou together.

Seeing Lu Fei, Yinyou couldn't help muttering in his heart, no wonder he hadn't seen the two attendants beside the fourth brother for many years, it turned out that they had been assigned a secret mission by the fourth brother.

"At the end of the day, I will meet the King of Chunjun." He didn't fall out with Daqing, so Lu Fei was still a citizen of Daqing, and he treated the emperor brothers with respect from the bottom of his heart, and he was absolutely courteous.

Yinyou raised his hand: "General Lu, you don't need to be too polite. This king stays in Guangzhou according to Emperor Ama's order, and specially handles matters related to the fourth brother."

After a pause, Yinyou said again: "Dai Zi has been transferred back to the capital by Huang Ama, I wonder if the fourth brother can still use Dai Zi? If it is useful, I am afraid that the fourth brother will need to mention it to Huang Ama in person."

He couldn't help but smile wryly, Huang Ama sent Dai Zi back to Beijing, one is because of the firearms camp, and the other is to let the fourth brother show up earlier.

Lu Fei shook his head: "The master didn't take Mr. Dai Zi away when he left, but he left Mr. Dai Zi to the emperor." He was thinking secretly, according to the master's style of work, if he needed firearms from the Qing side, what would he do? He would speak directly to the emperor, and he never knew what politeness was, not to mention that Xiazhou's firearms research and development level could keep up, so he didn't need Dai Zi.

The corners of Yinyou's mouth twitched. Does this mean that Dai Zi was a 'trash' that the fourth brother didn't use and threw it to Huang Ama like a garbage disposal?Although this metaphor is not appropriate, but this is how he feels!

Lu Fei will stay in Macau for a month, and there are still their properties and businesses here, so he will perform his duties as a housekeeper, inspect various properties, and calculate the income.

Yinyou sent the letter back to Beijing on the same day. Although the transmission method was not as urgent as the eight hundred miles, Haidongqing's letter transmission was faster than the eight hundred miles express!Therefore, Kangxi received the letter on the morning of the third day. When he opened it, Lao Qi waited for Lu Fei, the entourage beside Lao Si, and learned about the situation in Xiazhou from Lu Fei.

The information he got from him was incomplete after all, and Kangxi immediately had the idea of ​​sending someone there. The best candidate was naturally the seventh, but he could also add the third and the thirteenth. Summon King Chengjun and Thirteen Baylor and let them set off for Guangzhou the next day.

When Yinyou received Kangxi's reply letter, he was a little dumbfounded. It seemed that Huang Ama became very impulsive after encountering the matter of the fourth brother, and was no longer like that thoughtful emperor.

Can you not be impulsive?Kangxi said that the fourth child didn't give him time to think about it. After passing this village, there would be no such shop.

Lu Fei was not at all embarrassed, because before he came back, his master had told him that Kangxi could do whatever he wanted, as long as they didn't ban their right to enter and leave the Qing Dynasty.It's okay even if they are banned, let them evacuate quickly, life is the most important thing.

The bitter people are King Cheng and Thirteen Baylor who are desperately rushing in the cold winter. King Cheng has complaints in his heart, but he dare not say it out loud. Thirteen Baylor is much happier. The opportunity to go to sea this time is purely because of him There was no confrontation with the fourth brother before, at most it was just that the two brothers were not close.

In this time and space, Thirteen is no longer fourth master's good brother.

Lu Fei and the others returned to Daqing with five ships, but when they left, there were ten ships, not only people, but also other goods, etc., ten ships full.

Joining Youhua's fleet on an island in the Sultanate's waters, the fleet of more than 20 ships headed for Xiazhou mightily, and arrived at Yanhuang Port ten days later.
