Soul of reincarnation

Chapter 21

Wu Yashi is a very pioneering spirit.The previous shops made steady money, and she opened up new projects.

Spend a lot of money to buy some foreign clocks and pocket watches, and sent them to the craftsmen she recruited for research.Two years later, a new watch shop was launched, which was produced by the craftsmen under her command.

The clocks and watches in the shop are much cheaper than those imported ones, and the types are even more varied.There are many shapes of clocks and watches, and there are two types of watches that you carry with you: pocket watches and wristwatches with straps.

Watches and clocks are doing well, and more people are buying pocket watches and wristwatches.

Wu Ya's has another shop with a booming business.

What makes others strange is that all the artisans recruited by Wu Yashi, whether they were those who made glass soap before or those who made clocks and watches later, others were jealous and failed to bribe the artisans or resort to various soft and hard methods.

Of course, Wu Ya's treatment for these craftsmen is also high.What's more, if they didn't have the secret recipe of Wu Ya's religion or her initial investment, they would have no place to learn these skills.

Craftsmen cherish their brooms, and their skills are generally passed down from family, and there is no place for outsiders to learn them.Wu Ya's teaching them these things is equivalent to giving them the ability to live and work for several lifetimes.He is not a person who has lost his conscience, and he probably will not betray him.

But not to mention these craftsmen, even ordinary servants, buddies, shopkeepers, none of them sold Wu Ya's master for money.

Others think that Wu Ya's family has the ability and the way of imperial court is brilliant.

Yin Qi thought, maybe it was the effect of her artifact fragment.Either she can discern which people are trustworthy, or she can force these people not to disobey the Lord.

While receiving a large sum of cash, Yinzhen also endured a lot of pressure.After all, Wu Ya's shop has squeezed many imported goods shops to the point of being out of business, how can the people behind those shops not hate it?

Also because these shops are very profitable, some greedy people want to steal the secret recipe directly and start this business by themselves.Although not successful, jealousy is also indispensable.

That is to say, Yinzhen is the prince with real power, so he can withstand the pressure of these clans or powerful officials.If it weren't for the fourth son of the emperor, Yinzhen, standing behind Wu Ya's family, Wu Ya's family would have been forcibly married and taken over the property.

Here in Manchu, women's rules are very flexible.

People who don't leave the door and don't step out of the door will be recognized by everyone as virtuous.

But those who are proficient in riding and archery, and often go out shopping and hunting, everyone will think that they have the style of old man.

Those who pay attention to the three obediences and four virtues will be praised by everyone, virtuous!

Shrewd and capable, a woman who keeps things under wraps at home and outside the house, everyone will think she is capable, and she is a material for a family.

Unless you enter the palace and become a member of the royal family, the requirements for women are generally not that high, and each family has its own situation.

Therefore, although Wu Yashi's achievements are eye-catching, her actions are not out of the ordinary.She didn't act as the shopkeeper herself to do business, she just trained the craftsmen behind her back.

Concubine De also heard about this niece in the palace.Rules are the most important in the palace, and she follows the rules all her life, so she doesn't appreciate such a capable niece very much.

But she knew that Wu Ya's family represented a large sum of benefits, which was what many people wanted.Including the princes in the palace and the clans outside the palace.

Concubine De also specifically asked Yinzhen, the fourth son of the emperor, how she planned to arrange Wu Ya's family in the future?

In her opinion, it is best for Wu Yashi to give Yinzhen a good look, and if she gives birth to a son, she will ask her to be a side Fujin in the future.There will be wealth and glory for a lifetime.

The Wuya family's backer was originally Yinzhen, and after Yinzhen took over the Wuya family, his reputation for keeping those shops was even better, and no one else could say anything about it.

Besides, Yinzhen is now in the mansion, and Tong Jia's family of Fujin has three sons and one daughter, and the relationship between Sibeile and his wife is very good.The two concubines in the mansion remained silent, they neither asked for a side Fujin nor gave birth to a child.

Concubine De of course hoped that her son and husband would have a harmonious relationship and have more legitimate children.But on the other hand, she doesn't like Tong Jiashi very much.

It's not Tong Jia's person, but Tong Jia's surname.Both Tong Jia's concubines have no children, one imperial concubine and one noble concubine, how can it not make people feel grudges to bear the pressure on their four concubines who have given birth to a lot.

So Concubine De is also very conflicted. On the one hand, she is happy that Yinzhen is doing well after marriage, and that Tong Jiashi has indeed taken good care of the fourth child.On the other hand, she felt that Tong Jiashi had completely controlled Yinzhen, making the concubine's room in Baylor's mansion look like a decoration.

But no matter how contradictory her thoughts were, in terms of actions, she never took care of the affairs of Yinzhen's inner house, so as not to be disgusted by her son and daughter-in-law.

That is to say, during the draft, she watched other concubines choose a concubine for her son, and she followed the crowd to choose one or two for Yinzhen.As for how these concubines are doing in Sibeile Mansion, whether they are favored or not, Concubine De doesn't ask at all.

This time I asked about Wu Yashi, not to send someone to the Sibeile Mansion, but to really worry about Yinzhen. If Wu Yashi followed other dignitaries, such as the prince or elder brother, it would be a huge sum of money. The interests are going to follow her.

Yinzhen himself was also a little hesitant.

First of all, Wu Yashi has no affection for him, but only treats him as a backer, and when facing him, he is always business-like, and he is very calm.

Secondly, he has no affection for Wu Yashi.He appreciates Wu Yashi's talent and her pioneering and enterprising spirit, but this kind of appreciation is for Wu Yashi as his collaborator, and he thinks that Wu Yashi is a capable person who dares to think and do.Does not contain any ambiguous elements.

As for the woman he likes, he likes someone like Tong Jiashi, who is smart, beautiful, talented, and gentle and considerate to him.

As an original prince, he naturally doesn't have the idea of ​​being a couple for life.

There is no favored concubine in the mansion, it's just because Tong Jia's is satisfied in all aspects, and Tong Jia's can give birth again, he wants to have more sons, so why go to a concubine who is not as good as Tong Jia's.

In fact, Yinzhen's concept is quite similar to that of Kangxi, that is, he hopes that all the women in the mansion will be dutiful people.I don't expect all the women in the mansion to be virtuous and virtuous, but I hope they will abide by the rules, not do anything out of the ordinary, and not have a great reputation.

As a subordinate or collaborator, Wu Yashi has no objections, but as his own woman, he feels that Wu Yashi is too strong and has his own ideas.Besides, if she becomes his concubine, she must abide by the rules of the Baylor Mansion and can no longer go out to do business.Yinzhen felt that this was a pity for Wu Ya's talent.

However, Wu Yashi does represent a large amount of interests, even if he is not short of money, and he does not covet the part of Wu Yashi's hands, but if he wants to give up this interest to the elder brother or the crown prince, he will Also unwilling.

He decided to discuss with Wu Yashi and see what Wu Yashi's own plans are.

Wu Yashi has also reached the age of marriage, and she also understands her current situation.If you get married, you have to serve your husband, mother-in-law and the whole family of your husband's family.Even if her husband's family does not occupy her private property, they may not support her to continue to expand her business.

If there is a man who suits his heart, then everything can be tolerated.Isn't the problem not what you want?Since it's not what she wants, why should she endure it?

There is also the issue of Si Ye's position, if her husband's family takes refuge with other princes, wouldn't it be sad for her to be caught in it?So she had better find a confidant or subordinate of fourth master.

When Yinzhen and Wu Yashi talked about this matter, Wu Yashi entrusted her marriage to Yinzhen.

After working with Yinzhen for several years, she still trusts Yinzhen's character.Let him come to someone else, such a person's status and character will not be too bad, and it will certainly not harm Yinzhen's own interests.It also avoids problems of different positions in the future or conflicts such as property and money.

Then, Wu Yashi also put forward his own request:

First of all, she wants to be a wife and not a concubine.

Secondly, the husband's family should have a good family style and a simple family population.

Third, the husband's family must be able to support her to continue to manage private property after marriage.

Yinzhen considered the conditions she proposed, and felt that Wu Yashi was quite pragmatic.She didn't ask for any status or power, which made it easier to find.

It's just that he was the backer of Wu Yashi in the past, and he was the backer of Wu Yashi and her husband and wife in the future.

Yinzhen searched around, and found such a person for her. He was a son of the clan named Acton. There was only a widowed mother in his family, and he had the title of third-class general of the auxiliary country.He is a very responsible person, because his family education is strict, and he has no bad habits of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.Because of his past experience, his widowed mother hated concubines and housekeepers very much, so she didn't put anyone by her son's side.

Yinzhen called Acton and told him about the marriage.Acton went home to discuss with his mother, and his mother agreed as soon as he heard it.

They are a small group of people, if they can rely on the powerful Baylor, the fourth prince, it will be good for their family in the future.

I heard that the girl is very capable, and her son is an honest man, so she wanted to find him a powerful wife so that he would not suffer in the future.

Their family also has some property, and they don't covet their daughter-in-law's dowry.But what's wrong with marrying a rich daughter-in-law? Wouldn't all the money be left to her grandson in the future?

With the meaning of the fourth son of the emperor in it, the marriage was quickly completed.

After marriage, Wu Yashi is also very satisfied, her mother-in-law is shrewd, very clear about things, and won't make trouble for her.My husband is also a dedicated person to his family.Her married life was a little more pleasant than that in Wu Ya's house.

After they got married, Yinzhen also intended to promote Acton, and found him a small errand in the Ministry of Finance. Acton was conscientious and cautious, not the kind of shrewd and capable person who could be entrusted with important tasks, but he was also a trustworthy person. .It can also help Yinzhen do a lot of auxiliary and trivial work.

Wu Ya's life is good, and he is also grateful to Sibeile Yinzhen, so he thought of doing something for him in return for his help and protection these years.So I found high-yield crops such as potatoes and corn from the sea merchants, and first got them to grow in my own village.I want to wait until there is a result before handing it over to Yinzhen, it must be of great use to him and the court.

At this time, Yinqi also had his eldest son, Hongsheng.There is also the second son, Hongzhang from the Guerjia family.And the second daughter Qing Geertai, born of Liu Jia's family.It's hard to tell whether the children are smart or not, but everyone is healthy and healthy.

Yinqi's mansion has its own staff and husband, Tana has studied for several years, and Hongsheng has just begun to enlighten.Usually, Yin Qi also taught Tana how to ride and shoot with his own hands, and played with Hong Sheng.

The women in the mansion gradually understood Yinqi's plan. Except for Di Fujin, probably every woman had only one child.

Even Liu Jia, who gave birth to a daughter, was still unwilling and wanted to have another son.After making a fuss several times, seeing that it was useless, I resigned to my fate.

Having a boy or a girl is not something Yinqi can control, it's God's will.According to his intentions, in this era, they, the prince's daughters, would inevitably be accused of going to Mongolia to get married.He would rather have a son than worry about his daughter in the future.

Therefore, he will never neglect his daughters, not only let them read and practice calligraphy, but also let them practice martial arts, riding and shooting.When they are a few years older, they will be taken on hunting trips.

The purpose is to make them stand up and be stronger.In order to avoid being unable to adapt to life in Mongolia after getting married, or being bullied.

Girls in this era are easily neglected, not only the wet nurses, but sometimes even the biological mother does not value her daughter too much, but only values ​​her son.

That's why Yinqi made the decision that each woman only have one child, so that no matter whether the son or the daughter, she can get the mother's wholehearted care.

The concubine who gave birth to a son can live with his son in the future, and the concubine who gave birth to a daughter can only rely on his wife and son in his later years.This is also something that cannot be helped, how can the world satisfy everyone.

Yin Qi valued his own flesh and blood more, and of course others had to lean back.
