Looking at Wu Meiniang's confused eyes, Yang Fan smiled proudly: "Little bitch, do you know how powerful your husband is?"

As he spoke, he raised and lowered his hands, hitting the plump and plump area with a slap.

"oops!"

Wu Meiniang screamed and struggled a little, but she couldn't break free. She had to endure her sensitivity and said angrily: "Husband, don't move around. I have business to discuss with you!"

Feel the warmth and smoothness coming from the palm of your hand...

It feels very good!

An evil smile escaped from the corner of Yang's lips, and without saying anything, the slapping of her palms turned into a caress, and the touch felt like nothing else.

Wu Meiniang's face turned red and she was about to cry!

Xingmu looked up at Yang Fan with aggrieved eyes and begged: "There are still a lot of things to do today!"

Yang Fan chuckled: "Then tell me, what's going on?"

But the big hand that just slapped it didn't move away, and even squeezed it hard!

With a cry, Wu Meiniang's body was soft, and she leaned on Yang Fan's chest. Her pretty face was like a red sunset, and she was so charming.

He put his arms around Yang Fan's neck, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Husband, I have something that I don't know whether to talk about or not."

With Nephrite in his arms and his breath like blue, Yang Fan felt a heat rising from his Dantian. He licked his dry lips and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. It's not a good thing to think about it."

Saying that, lower your head!

"Well!"

Being suddenly attacked, Wu Meiniang let out a moan.

After being gentle for a while, Wu Meiniang remembered that she still had something serious to say, and she was so angry that she bit Yang Fan on the shoulder.

As expected, you can't talk to your husband in a roundabout way.

How can anyone talk like this?

When people ask if it’s inappropriate to say something, shouldn’t they answer “but it’s okay to say it”?

But Yang Fan said that if you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it, which can make a person angry to death.

Wu Meiniang couldn't help but roll her eyes at Yang Fan, and she was so angry that she clenched her pink fist and hit Yang Fan's broad chest several times.

Yang Fan chuckled, looked down at Wu Meiniang's charming and beautiful face, and teased: "Young lady, if you have something to do, it's okay to talk about it!"

Wu Meiniang pursed her red lips, put her ear against Yang Fan's broad chest, and said angrily: "My husband knows how to tease the slave family!"

But my heart is filled with boredom. Is this a telepathic connection?

Whatever he had just thought in his mind, Lang Jun would say it!

Wu Meiniang didn't realize that Yang Fan was teasing her from the beginning.

No wonder psychologists have said that no matter how smart a woman was before, her IQ will plummet as soon as she falls in love. Even the empress Wu Zetian is not immune.

Wu Meiniang felt so happy in her heart, her big eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and then she said softly: "Although Lang Jun usually acts rashly, he is also respectful and courteous. There is no time when he is unreasonable and unforgiving. Why did he do that that day?" If my husband insists that Wei Ansi kneel down and kowtow, wouldn’t that offend the Wei family to death? This is not like my husband’s style.”

After saying that, Wu Meiniang bit her pink lips and secretly looked at Yang Fan's face. She didn't see any sign of annoyance and continued: "If I'm right as I expected, your husband seems to have other considerations? It seems like he did it on purpose."

Yang Fan sighed secretly in his heart, Wu Meiniang was indeed worthy of being an emperor, and her ability to figure out people's hearts was absolutely top-notch.

Anyway, the plan will start to be implemented after the New Year, and there is nothing to hide.

What's more, Yang Fan also wanted Wu Meiniang to give him a reference, so he repeated his calculations and what he had discussed with Li Er in the palace a few days ago.

Wu Meiniang was stunned!

After a long while, he asked in disbelief: "What do you mean by your husband, you want to use the sale of "Yang's Enlightenment" to collect money from ill-intentioned families in order to weaken the families? But how can these families be so easily fooled?"

Yang Fan said firmly: "If these aristocratic families are given the false impression from the beginning that the printing cost of our "Yang's Enlightenment" is very high, do you think they will buy it all to prevent these books from flowing into the market in large quantities or changing hands? Sell ​​at a high price..."

"You also know that the virtues of those aristocratic families are simply that they are not willing to do anything early. The most important thing is that they all dislike me."

"How could this family allow me, Yang Fan, to write and sell books so easily and become famous throughout the ages?"

"We deliberately humiliated Wei Ansi a few days ago. This guy must be very angry. Although he doesn't dare to retaliate blatantly, he will definitely unite with other aristocratic families to interfere with it."

Wu Meiniang thought for a moment and figured out Yang Fan's plan.

This plan seems to have no loopholes, but in fact the risks involved are very high.

If these aristocratic families suffer heavy losses, how can these aristocratic families let go of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion?

The combined power of the aristocratic families was so great that even the emperor would shy away. If the Hou Mansion could stand firm on its own, Wu Meiniang would still feel guilty.

But once this plan succeeds, not only will he make a lot of money, his husband's reputation in the world will be unparalleled.

This man was so confident and confident about everything. As his woman, how could Wu Meiniang just stand by and watch.

Wu Meiniang's little head was spinning rapidly, as if she had thought of something, her eyes flashed, and she said: "Husband, during the Spring Festival, Meiniang wants to take my mother and sister home to visit them, do you think so?"

"Eternal God Emperor"

Yang Fan was a little confused about Wu Meiniang's sudden change.

With the Plum Blossom Guard in hand, it was impossible for Wu Meiniang not to know that her two brothers had already become lackeys of the Cui family in Qinghe.

Not to mention that the two of them are greedy, in addition to being part of the glass business agency, they have also been thinking about the method of making glass in Junyangfang.

Furthermore, Wu Meiniang was almost forced to death by her two brothers, and her mother and sister were also kicked out of the house...

One by one...one by one...

Wu Meiniang wanted to shave her two brothers alive, so why did she suddenly have the kindness to go home to visit her relatives?

To be honest, Yang Fan was actually very resistant to those two cheap brothers-in-law.

Yang Fan naturally hates people who can easily let go of family ties.

But no matter what, they are both Meiniang's brothers. Even if their senses are not good, they should still be polite, otherwise in this era where filial piety and righteousness come first, it is easy to attract criticism.

Not bothering to second guess Wu Meiniang's intentions, Yang Fan nodded and said, "Meiniang can make her own arrangements!"

Perhaps seeing the doubts in Yang Fan's mind, Wu Meiniang said calmly: "Husband, don't worry about Meiniang's soft-heartedness. My two brothers are trying to steal the family property of Zhongyihou Mansion with outsiders. Although Meiniang is not in pain due to blood ties, Kill you, but it’s okay to use them to help you.”

Hearing this, Yang Fan's mind was spinning, and then his eyes lit up: "Mei Niang means to let your two brothers inadvertently reveal the news to the family?"

"Exactly!" Wu Meiniang pursed her lips and smiled.

It turned out that Wu Meiniang wanted to convey through her two brothers that the cost of printing "Yang's Enlightenment" was very high.

When Wu Meiniang went home to visit relatives this time, she deliberately revealed that the Zhongyi Hou Mansion was unable to make ends meet due to the printing of "Yang's Enlightenment", and their purpose was to borrow money.

Of course, it is impossible for the two uncles who are greedy for money to borrow money, but they will definitely pass on the news to the Cui family that the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion printed "Yang Family Enlightenment" and emptied their savings. This will achieve the purpose of confusing these aristocratic families. .

"Mei Niang is indeed a good wife. Come..., my husband will give you a reward." Yang Fan suddenly realized and couldn't help but tease.

Wu Meiniang pretended to be disgusted and pushed Yang Fan away and said coquettishly: "Do you think this plan is feasible, husband?"

"Of course it's feasible!" Yang Fan nodded affirmatively, and then said after careful consideration: "You are going to visit relatives here, not to pretend to be poor, nor to be petty, but to bring hundreds of carts of copper coins. and precious things.”

"Why is this?" Wu Meiniang frowned slightly, unable to follow Yang Fan's thoughts.

Yang Fan talked eloquently and explained: "With the income of our Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, which is just printing books, it is impossible to reach the point of being exhausted. If we sell it miserably, it will make people suspicious."

"If you, Mei Niang, bring a lot of money back to your parents' house, the purpose is to prevent me, a 'prodigal' husband, from losing all the money in the house..."

"Are you saying that those aristocratic families are convinced that the cost of printing "Yang's Enlightenment" is very high?"

Wu Meiniang suddenly realized it!

Yes, Junyangfang's income is obvious to all, and it is simply impossible for people to believe that it is at the end of its rope.

If Wu Meiniang put part of her money in her mother's family for the reason of not letting Yang Fan "lose" her family fortune, this would be even more credible to outsiders!



Chang'an City should be the official residence of the state.

The plaque hanging high on the lintel still shows traces of brand newness, and the red lantern hung high under the eaves shows traces of unfinished wax from last night's burning.

Although the snow in front of the gate of Duke Ying's Mansion had been swept away by servants, the deserted appearance in front of the door could still tell the decline of Duke Ying's Mansion.

Since the death of the warrior Xun, the life of Duke Yingguo's mansion has been getting worse day by day.

After Wu Yuanqing succeeded to the throne of the country, these two lazy guys always stayed out of human affairs, and even the friends of the warrior Xun during his lifetime did not interact with each other. Naturally, they were Menluo Keque.

It was originally the Spring Festival, and the exchanges between friends should be very lively, but Yingguo Kungfu seemed particularly deserted.

Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang were sitting in the main hall, but the door of the main hall was not closed, as if the cold wind was not cold at all.

The two of them looked at the door eagerly, hoping that one or two of their father's former friends or some friends would come to send good wishes during the Spring Festival.

Unfortunately, the setting sun was tilted, and both of their eyes were a little sore, but still no one came to visit.

This made the two brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang feel embarrassed and aggrieved at the same time.

Those guys who were usually close friends with them didn't even come to visit during the Spring Festival. It was really a slap in their face.

Wu Yuanshuang smiled brightly, squeezed out an ugly smile from Jiang's hard face, and said: "Brother, we have been waiting for most of the day. It seems that there will be no guests to visit today. Why don't we ask my servants to prepare some food?" , we haven’t even had lunch yet!”

Wu Yuanqing slowly withdrew his gaze, sighed, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, and murmured to himself: "Erlang, the eldest brother is ashamed of his father. I didn't expect that the Yingguo Duke's mansion was so prominent for a while, but now that it has passed to my brother, it has fallen into such a bad state." Forced, how can I have the face to face my ancestors underground after my brother dies?"

Wu Yuanshuang didn't take it seriously. Instead, he patted his chest and said confidently: "Brother, don't belittle yourself. The time has not come yet. The Duke's Mansion will definitely flourish in our hands. When the time comes, look at those people who look down on others." How guys grovel.”

Such comforting words did not make Wu Yuanqing's mood improve, but instead he lowered his head without saying a word.

How easy is it to carry forward Yingguogongfu?

Ever since they kicked Wu Meiniang and the Yang family out of the house, they had a reputation of being cold-tempered.

Some of his father's former friends had stopped contacting him, which made Wu Yuanqing secretly regret it.

If Wu Meiniang, mother and daughter had been treated better back then, Ying Guo Mansion would have been able to get a piece of the pie with the current development prospects of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion.

If I could do it again...

Although the two brothers still won't divide the family property between Wu Meiniang and the other girls, they won't get into such a stalemate. It's a pity that there is no regret in this world.

Thinking of this, Wu Yuanqing was filled with regret, and he said in a lost voice: "Second brother, do you think if we hadn't kicked Mei Niang and the others out of the house, would the current Ying Guo Gong's house be in a different situation? ?”

As soon as he heard Wu Meiniang's name, Wu Yuanshuang was filled with hatred and gritted his teeth and said: "Brother, why are you mentioning them? They are all a bunch of white-eyed wolves."

"As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. Our Duke's palace raised them. Now that they are rich, they don't even think about family ties to help us. It's really unfair."

"Brother, don't worry. You are the lord of the country. I don't believe that no one came to pay us New Year's greetings today."

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Who dares to underestimate our Duke Ying's Mansion?"

Looking at the confident Wu Yuanshuang, Wu Yuanqing was obviously much more awake and optimistic, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

At this moment, a deafening firecracker sounded. Judging from the direction of the sound, it should have come from the gate of Ying Guo Gonglin.

Wu Yuanshuang patted his thigh, stood up with a roar, and said happily: "Brother, what I said is good, isn't it? Isn't there someone here to congratulate you?"

"You are the head of the family. Please calm down for now and wait here. I will go and see which noble person is coming."

"Hearing the sound of the firecrackers, he must be a great nobleman. I would like to congratulate my elder brother first."

When Wu Yuanqing heard the noise, he stood up in surprise.

But after hearing what Wu Yuanshuang said, he could only pretend to be calm and said: "Second brother, on behalf of my brother, you go to the door to greet the nobleman. You must not be rude."

"No!" Wu Yuanshuang agreed and was about to turn around and go out.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the main hall door.

Wu Yuanshuang raised his eyes and saw that it was Chen Guangfu, the steward, who had hurriedly ran in. He immediately scolded him unhappily: "The steward of the Duke's Palace is so impolite. How would it be unbecoming for outsiders to see this?"

Chen Guangfu ignored Wu Yuanshuang's rebuke. Instead, he turned to Wu Yuanqing and said with a stutter: "Master Guo, please go out and take a look? The front door of our house is blocked by carriages. There are hundreds of people." So many cars.”

Wu Yuanqing, who was still pretending to be calm, could not hold back and asked hurriedly: "Do you know which noble family came to visit?"

Before Chen Guangfu could answer, Wu Yuanshuang said with determination: "Brother, do you still need to ask? Apart from the noble Cui family, I can't think of any other family that can have such a big battle. Pomp and circumstance.”

"Ms. Cui must be thanking us for the Liuli agency business we secured for him."

Hearing this, Wu Yuanqing also nodded in agreement.

The two of them were immersed in their imaginations, but they didn't notice Chen Guangfu's expression as if he was eating shit.

Seeing that Chen Guangfu was so slow and didn't go out to greet the nobleman, Wu Yuanshuang shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly follow me to greet the nobleman of the Cui family?"

At this time, Chen Guangfu had room to interrupt, and said hesitantly: "Young Master, the nobles at the door are not from the Cui family, but the young lady Yang and the two ladies Wu Shun and Wu Meiniang are returning home. I don't know what to do. arrange?"

Wu Yuanshuang, who had already stepped out of the main hall door, was stunned!

It’s neither leaving nor retreating, it’s so embarrassing.

Just now he had sworn that he was a noble person sent by the Cui family, but now it was his sister who he had just devalued as worthless.

He really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, it was so embarrassing!

Wu Yuanqing asked in surprise: "You said my little sister came back home? And she pulled hundreds of carriages?"

"Go back to the Lord, that's what the other party said!" Chen Guangfu spoke firmly and nodded affirmatively.

Wu Yuanqing rubbed his hands and walked around with a look of surprise. Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to go out to greet him in person.

No matter what purpose Wu Meiniang and the others had in returning home, it was not something they could offend now.

You must know that Wu Meiniang is already a fourth-grade imperial concubine pardoned by the imperial court, so she can see the official but not worship her.

Not to mention that Wu Yuanqing had to pay attention to a dukedom like him that only had empty airs.

Arriving at the gate of the Duke's mansion, the two brothers Wu Yuanqing were immediately frightened by the battle in front of the mansion.

The wide street has been blocked by a continuous stream of carriages, and the onlookers are pointing and pointing, making it very lively.

The deafening sound of firecrackers came one after another, as if they wanted to blast people's eardrums, and the smoke was swirling, making it even more hazy.

As soon as the two brothers Wu Yuanqing stepped out of the door, a young and burly man walked out of the smoke.

This man had a horizontal knife on his waist and sheepskin boots on his feet. His face was resolute but there was no change in his expression, as if the sound of cannons and noise had nothing to do with him.

What's even more striking is that this person's eyes are slightly narrowed, but he can see a sparkling light, and a cold light flashes from time to time. He is obviously a character who is not easy to mess with.

After this person walked out of the smoke area, everyone took a closer look. Isn't this burly young man pretending to be Xi Junmai?
