Chapter 438 - 438 How could there be such a good thing?
438 How could there be such a good thing?
The emperor loved his legitimate younger brother very much.
Back then, his younger brother had also done many things for him, helping him to ascend to the throne.
Therefore, he didn’t want to force his brother who liked to live a carefree life.
His mother would also worry about his brother’s safety.
However, his brother was the best candidate for this matter.
For the sake of Daliang and the people, he hoped that his brother would go.
Therefore, he was in a dilemma.
He didn’t want to make a choice for his brother, so he had to ask for his opinion.
The crown prince nodded in agreement. “Indeed, I also feel that it’s best to ask my imperial uncle for his opinion on this matter.
“If he wants to go, it will solve your urgent need.
“If he doesn’t want to go, then you will choose a more suitable person.”
The emperor nodded. “I also think so.”
Because the matter was rather urgent, he immediately had people summon Liang Yulin into the palace.
Liang Yulin was fishing in his manor and was a little confused when he heard that the emperor was urgently summoning him.
Thus, he hurriedly changed her clothes and entered the palace.
After entering the palace and hearing the emperor’s words, Liang Yulin was shocked.
On the one hand, he was amazed by Xiao Hanzheng and his wife’s power, but on the other hand, he was also a little interested.
He also knew that he was the most suitable candidate.
If he chose not to go this time, his royal brother would not blame him, but he would also become a completely idle prince with no official business to attend to.
Although he liked a carefree life, he still had to do some exciting things from time to time.
He didn’t want to be marginalized in the imperial court.
This was also a means of self-protection.
The most important thing was that he had a very good relationship with his royal brother.
Since his royal brother needed him, he would naturally not refuse.
Thus, Liang Yulin didn’t hesitate and directly nodded.
“I am willing to share my imperial brother’s burden.”
Seeing that his brother had agreed, the emperor was touched and gratified.
As long as he was in trouble, his brother would always stand up and support him without hesitation.
In the future, he would definitely not let down his brother’s trust.
The emperor stood up and patted his brother’s shoulder.
He said guiltily, “Then I’ll have to trouble you to go for this trip.”
Liang Yulin smiled. “It’s not that hard. I can also go to Xiao Hanzheng to recuperate my body, so I can kill two birds with one stone.”
This was naturally to comfort the emperor.
He also knew the dangers of going to the northern border.
However, he didn’t really care. If he really died, it would be his fate.
Of course, he naturally hoped to complete his royal brother’s important task and return to the capital alive.
Hearing his brother’s comforting words, the emperor’s eyes were filled with love.
“Xiao Hanzheng and his wife are very good. You can get to know them more.”
He even joked, “After you go to Northern Xinjiang, if you can bring back a sister-in-law for me, mother and I will be even happier.”
Liang Yulin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I’ll try my best. If I can meet a girl I like at the northern border, I’ll definitely bring a sister-in-law back for my royal brother. If I can’t meet her, then it just means that that moment hasn’t arrived yet.”
In this aspect, he was really not in a hurry.
However, every time he met his royal brother and his imperial mother, they would urge him to get married.
He was tired of it.
He had also heard that his mother wanted to hold a flower banquet and invite the young ladies from the aristocratic family who were more suitable to be his princess consort.
She wanted him take a look and choose a princess consort for himself.
Although he knew how his mother felt about wanting a daughter-in-law, he really had no interest in this kind of blind date party.
When he went to the northern border, he could hide from their pressure for him to get married soon.
How could the emperor not see through his brother’s thoughts? He raised his hand and pointed at him. “You!”
“Oh yes, should I tell our mother about this, or should you tell her?” he continued to ask.
If he were to say it, he would probably be reproached by his mother and she might even cry.
His younger brother was better at coaxing his mother, so it was better for him to tell her.
How could Liang Yulin not understand his brother’s intentions? He could only say helplessly, “It’s better for me to go and say it.”
The emperor’s smile became even more amiable, and he patted his shoulder again.
“Good younger brother!”
Liang Yulin didn’t waste any time and went straight to the empress dowager’s palace.
After that, he coaxed his angry mother and accompanied her for dinner.
He promised that he would try his best to bring back a princess consort from the northern border before he left the palace.
At this moment, the Liang, Xi, Qi, and Fei families’ tables were filled with all sorts of heated canned food.
After the families tasted the canned food, they all had the same thought. It was delicious.
Then, they were shocked and curious.
“How did the food in this jar be preserved for so long?”
Could Shi Qingluo’s master really be some old immortal?
It felt as magical as casting a spell.
As a result, these families attached more importance to Shi Qingluo and her husband.
In the Liang family.
Old Master Liang, Liang Mingcheng, and the others all knew that Liang Youxiao had gone to the South to open a canned food factory.
Old Master Liang was very supportive of this because he knew that his grandson was very smart and would not do things without reason.
Liang Mingcheng didn’t quite understand his son’s way of doing things.
The main reason was that he really couldn’t believe that canned food could be stored for so long and not spoil, especially in the summer.
However, he could not stop his son because of the protection of the old master and old lady. He could only let things be.
Of course, this was his own son after all, and he had the intention to protect him.
Those from the other courtyards in the Liang family were even less supportive of Liang Youxiao, and even felt that he was being too arrogant.
It was still uncertain if the canned food could last that long, but Liang Youxiao dared to run to the South to open a workshop.
Even if he had money, he shouldn’t squander like this.
Quite a few people were waiting to see Liang Youxiao fail as a joke, and they had been criticizing him.
However, after everyone tasted the canned food today, they suddenly felt a slight pain in their faces.
It was summer, but the canned food took more than a month to get to the capital from Heyang County.
It didn’t go bad, and the taste was still so good. This showed that the canned food business was really doing well.
They had also tried the canned fruit.
It tasted different from fresh fruit. Even the madams, young ladies, and children at home liked this kind of canned fruit more.
Therefore, as long as Liang Youxiao opened a canned food workshop in the South, he would not have any problems selling.
At the same time that they were disappointed, they could not help but feel envious and jealous.
If Liang Youxiao set up a canned food workshop, who knows how much money he would earn this time.
Under his wife’s constant eye signals, Second Master Liang couldn’t help but look at old master Liang and ask, “Father, Youxiao went to the South to do canned food business and used our family’s connections. Should we categorize this business as a shared Liang family’s asset?”
These words made Liang Mingcheng and his wife feel uncomfortable.
Previously, the other courtyards in the Liang family had been criticizing their son for being a troublemaker and a prodigal.
They had almost said that Liang Youxiao was going to fail and wanted to see him as a laughing stock.
Now, they found out that the canned food could really be preserved and tasted very good. If he transported it to the capital or other places to sell, he would definitely not have to worry about sales.
Moreover, the price of these cans was expensive, so he should make a lot of money.
The other courtyards were jealous and wanted to get a share.
How could there be such a good thing?
Liang Youxiao had worked so hard to go to the South from the northern border. He did everything himself.
At most, he used his family background and spent the money on the workshop he built himself.
Why should it be shared among the entire Liang family?
Eldest Lady Liang was particularly unhappy.
Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Liang Mingcheng’s gaze.
The old master would make his own decision on this matter, so they didn’t need to say anything first.
