The world is full of chaos, no one can tell clearly who is the fish and who is the bait!

After Dongfang Chunsheng and Liu Quansheng left, Liu Desheng, who was moved by the scene and deeply immersed in memories of the past, recovered his mood in less than half an hour and became suspicious, vicious, fickle and arrogant again.

After his "good" third brother left for a foreign land, the only thing left that could threaten his inheritance of the family business was his "good" second brother.

And Liu Quansheng's vague words before leaving made Liu Desheng even more murmuring in his heart.

In the past few days, Liu Ruisheng accidentally caused the dike to burst, causing complaints throughout Huaxing County. Because of this incident, Liu Ruisheng's personal reputation fell to the bottom. Except for the chief steward Liu Xing who was still with him, the guests at the table dispersed one after another, and he seemed to be alone. .

Liu Desheng secretly rejoiced that his second brother, Liu Ruisheng, was not doing well and was not in a good mood, so he and his friends set up a few tables in the back hall of Qingyin Pavilion, feeling a little complacent. Invisibly, he had indeed ignored the reaction of the people's livelihood to this matter, and had not considered his own response to the matter. It was not until Liu Quansheng's seemingly inspired words that he suddenly realized it.

As the ancients said: Beat a mandarin duck with a stick, beat a dog in the water hard.

Now, you, Jiang Ruisheng, have betrayed all your relatives. At this time, as your eldest brother, if I don't step forward and step on you, wouldn't I be too disrespectful of 'brotherhood'?

So, Liu Desheng snorted coldly and closed the door. He leaned on the couch and took Yang Guan into his arms. The two of them whispered and chatted about the matter. I saw him touching Yang Guan's plump waist. While saying softly, "Madam, what do you mean by what my third brother said just now?"

As the most important strategist around Liu Desheng, Yang Guan is now a married woman. Although her appearance is still plain, she has more of the graceful posture that a young woman should have. Her figure is a little fatter, but neither fat nor thin, and her measurements are just right.

Seeing her gently tidying up Liu Desheng's clothes, she frowned, hesitated for a while, and then slowly opened her mouth and said, "Husband, my third brother's words are easy to understand."

Liu Desheng pursed his lips and said, "Madam, call him third brother? This kid is determined to harm me. Is such a person worthy of being my younger brother?"

For the past year, it was he, the eldest brother, who wanted to do everything possible to get rid of Liu Quansheng. Liu Quansheng had always just ignored the tricks and never fought back. Now when Liu Desheng said this, it was a bit heart-wrenching.

Seeing that Liu Desheng was as angry as a child, Yang Guan smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, I will listen to my husband in everything."

After speaking, Yang Guan lowered his head, seemingly speaking, but silent.

Liu Desheng and Yang Guan were in a relationship, and he naturally understood Yang Guan's every move. Seeing Yang Guan's hesitant expression, Liu Desheng was dissatisfied and said, "Madam, why are you hesitant to speak today? If you have something to say, it doesn't matter! You and I Don’t hide your clumsiness in between.”

Yang Guan's face was uncertain. For a long time, she bit her lip, as if she had made a great determination. Her eyes became determined, and she said slowly, "Husband, before I became my wife, I have always suggested that I recommend my second brother to the commander-in-chief to repair the canal." , just because at that time, my husband had just taken over everything in the clan, and his foundation was unstable. He urgently needed to show his merits, establish a reputation, and slowly erode the second brother's power for my use. Now, third, Liu Quansheng has left, and the second brother has plummeted... "

Liu Desheng was also a smart man, and he immediately heard what Yang Guan meant. He suddenly sat upright, with a trace of expectation in his eyebrows, and said, "What next? Madam!"

Yang Guan sighed slightly, "Now it seems that the original move was actually a matter of mixed benefits and disadvantages. The husband saw the benefits of this year with his own eyes and enjoyed it personally, so the wife will not elaborate on it. And the disadvantages of that year were My second brother can use the construction of the canal to compete with his husband again."

Liu Desheng suddenly frowned and said in a low voice, "Madam, I understand everything you said. Now that my second brother has been ruined, what will he do as a husband in the future? Please give me some advice, madam."

Yang Guan changed his posture, gently rubbed Liu Desheng's temples, and said softly, "Husband, think about it carefully, where does the second brother rely on? After all, it is nothing more than his status as a direct descendant, Jiang Feng's backstage, his father's doting, and being in charge of the family. Soldiers."

Liu Desheng nodded slightly to show his agreement.

Yang Guan paused for a moment and continued, "At that time, if Jiang Feng hadn't interfered, I'm afraid his father wouldn't have sent his second brother to take charge of this matter. But after the matter was completed, the pressure from the pillow and the officialdom, the second brother became more He will be like a fish in water and take charge of the family affairs again. Now, the sluice gate is broken and the river is overflowing. The scholars, farmers, industry and merchants are all worried and angry. Now that the words have been said, the wife does not hide it from her husband. The whole Huaxing County is in an uproar during this period, and everyone is criticizing her husband. My husband has been feasting with friends these past few days and I just didn’t notice it!”

Liu Desheng was sweating on his back and asked in shock, "Why is this?"

Yang Guan said in a deep voice, "Because if my second brother falls, the only person who will benefit from the entire Huaxing County is probably your husband! Alas! If my husband or my second brother handle the breach of the levee improperly, there will never be a recovery from now on." Chance."

At this time, Yang Guan said in Liu Desheng's ear with a gentle voice, "Please, husband, atone for Guan'er's fault in planning."

There was only a layer of veil between the thin lips and Liu Desheng's earlobes.

Liu Desheng was so excited by Yang Guan that he did not blame Yang Guan for this. Instead, he took her into his arms and inhaled the fragrance of her body. Then he said, "Madam, your plan was right last year. If Without my wife's planning, how can my husband take charge of family affairs?"

Yang Guansu stretched out his hand slightly, tapped the tip of Liu Desheng's nose, smiled lightly, and reminded again, "Husband, don't mention the past anymore. Let's think about how to go in the future. If you take this step wrong, your husband will fall completely." We are entering an abyss!"

In fact, Yang Guan had a strategy in mind, but she wanted to tease Liu Desheng. Somehow, Yang Guan liked to see Liu Desheng anxious and impatient, because only at this time, Liu Desheng would be obedient to Yang Guan. Be obedient and obey your instructions.

After listening to Yang Guan's words, Liu Desheng sat up suddenly, feeling suddenly enlightened. Without understanding the charm in Yang Guan's eyes, he opened his mouth and asked, "Madam, what should be the next step?"

"Uh-huh!" Yang Guanjiao huffed, then sat up, a hint of amorous feelings rippling from her chest.

Then, Yang Guan glanced at Liu Desheng resentfully, stood up and went to the coffee table, poured tea with her back turned, her face showing a trace of fleeting pain, then she turned around, held the cup of tea, and placed it in Liu Desheng's hand. Liu Desheng looked at Yang Guan The hot tea in hand, the spring breeze on the face.

Liu Desheng had two major hobbies in his life, one was tea tasting, and the other was eating dates and tasting tea.

The tea used to entertain the master and disciple was Qinba Wuhao. According to legend, Liu Bang was named the Queen of Hanzhong and often went to tea towns near mountains and rivers to drink tea and discuss matters. He especially loved this tea. Therefore, this tea was presented to the emperor as a tribute in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty.

The tea cup is a gilt silver cup with a mandarin duck pattern and a feather cup. The cup is in the shape of a bird, with a head, tail and wings. Cao Zhi of the Cao Wei Dynasty once wrote a poem about this cup: It is filled with green bottles and filled with carved cups. , floating ants are boiling, and the fragrance is strong and fragrant. This set of feather cups was bought from Liuzhou at a great price by Liu Desheng and he regarded it as a treasure.

How can you make people dissatisfied if you serve the person you love the most with your favorite thing and your favorite tea?

After Liu Desheng warmed up a sip of hot tea, Yang Guan asked tentatively, "Husband, my second brother is at the end of his game when he is pushed back by everyone. And no matter how my husband tries to remedy the situation, people will still be suspicious of him. So, we might as well use offense instead of defense." , use this matter to fight for the right to build the canal. As long as your husband turns things around and completes the canal repair, the entire Huaxing County will bow to you."

Facing the beautiful vision described by Yang Guan, Liu Desheng put down his tea cup and asked excitedly, "Oh? How can we win it?"

"Since ancient times, building canals and roads has been a major event that benefits the country and the people. However, a good thing was done like this by the second brother. If we look into the reason, it is just that the second brother cut corners or the supervisor was negligent. , no matter what, the second brother can't push away the relationship." Yang Guan continued to lower his eyebrows and whisper, "There are only a few days left, it will be the tenth day of September, and maybe we can do something about this quarterly county meeting."

"Oh? How should I write this stroke of writing?" Liu Desheng was a little eager to try.

Yang Guanqing's eyebrows stretched and he said in a low voice, "Does your husband know that Zhao Sujian is the eldest son of Zhao family?"

Liu Desheng said, "Of course we know that this old man Zhao Yao from Xuanhuai County, Huaxing County can be regarded as a hero. He studied under the Xuanfumen, a small and unpopular gang in Xuanhuai County. He came out of the mountain at the age of twenty and pulled up a hundred people. The soldiers came and used eight axes to intimidate the enemy. They suppressed Xuanhuaihou who was trying to rebel and did not dare to ride out of the city. In the end, he died of suffocation. It is also a legend!"

After saying that, Liu Desheng took a sip of tea, with an expression of indescribable enjoyment, and said with a smile, "The title of king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, male sixth rank, Zhao Yao also got confused with Xuan Huaibo because of this matter. But His son Zhao Sujian, huh... Madam, why are you talking about that idiot at this time?"

Yang Guan raised his eyebrows lightly and said softly, "Heroes emerge from troubled times. Zhao Yao's realm is not that high, and his martial arts is not that strong. He only managed to get a place in Huaxing County because he took advantage of the current situation and was brave. Husband, the Zhao family has no deep foundation, no background, no complicated family lineage. Zhao Yao himself has been stoic these years. The only thing he cares about is his stupid son, Zhao Sujian. .”

Liu Desheng also worried about Zhao Yao, "Yes! He is such a big fool, and anyone who lets him go will get upset."

"Haha! My husband is really funny." Yang Guan naturally leaned on Liu Desheng's shoulder and said softly, "Since ancient times, everyone has loved their children. You know, my husband, that Zhao Yao has been running around for his stupid son these years. Trying to get a hereditary throne?"

Liu Desheng dug out a handful of wild dates from somewhere and ate them with relish, not forgetting to stuff one into Yang Guan's mouth. While eating, he said, "Well, I know a little bit about it. But this Zhao Sujian He is born stupid, and it is not so easy to install a hereditary replacement. I heard that this old Zhao Yao has a very straight temper, and is not good at talking. Hitting the wall at every turn.”

Liu Desheng, who has been married for many years, knows that Yang Guan doesn't like dates, but he just likes to see Yang Guan's cute look, and he never gets tired of it.

Maybe, before I met you, I was still the young man who dreamed of making bricks and mortar!
