Fierce “Husband”

Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Zeng went out. Wang Shijing picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea, Shao Yunan smiled slightly at Wei Hongwen, who looked unhappy, and asked, "Young Master Wei, can I ask if you came to see me and Brother Jing, for the Marquis of Hengyuan or for yourself? ?"

Wei Hongwen looked at Shao Yunan, and after a while, he said, "It's for me and for the Marquis of Hengyuan."

Shao Yunan shook his head: "Fish is what I want; bear's paw is also what I want. I can't have both, and the one who gives up the fish and takes the bear's paw is also. Life is what I want; righteousness is what I want. Also. You can’t have both, and you can sacrifice your life for righteousness. Wei Gongzi wants to be for himself, and also wants to be for the Marquis of Hengyuan, just like the fish and the bear’s paw, you can only take one, you can’t have both.”

Wei Hongwen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What if it was me? What if it was the Marquis of Hengyuan?"

Shao Yunan said: "If it's just for you, Young Master Wei, I can give you an idea; if it's for the Marquis of Hengyuan, then I can't do anything about it. The Queen and Marquis of Hengyuan are like fish to me and Brother Jing. And bear's paw, we can only choose one."

Wei Hongwen was interested: "Maybe explain it in detail?"

Shao Yunan shook his head: "That won't work. Unless you make a choice, Mr. Wei, I can't explain it in detail."

Wei Hongwen said without hesitation: "Wei chose himself."

Shao Yunan laughed, and sure enough, Big Brother Kang Chen's analysis was right! He said, "If it's for you, Young Master Wei, this matter is actually easy to handle."

"Appreciate further details."

Shao Yunan was stunned for Wei Hongwen: "Why do you want to grab business with the queen? You can do business with the queen. Not only will this not attract the dissatisfaction of the queen, but you can also get a big backer. Not for."

Wei Hongwen became cautious in his heart: "Can I ask Brother Shao to express it?"

Shao Yun'an asked first, "What does Young Master Wei think of the emperor? Is it a dazed prince or a bright prince?"

Wei Hongwen's scalp was a little numb, but he still replied, "The Sage is of course Mingjun."

"Then the emperor, as a Ming Jun, can tolerate his subordinates being rich and powerful?"

A cold sweat broke out from Wei Hongwen's back: "Of course, I can't."

"But the Marquis of Hengyuan is now powerful and rich, even richer than the emperor."

Wei Hongwen's scalp tightened, staring straight at Shao Yunan. Shao Yunan's innocent expression: "I don't understand politics, but I know that as a superior, it is very taboo for people under his command to be richer than himself and unwilling to listen to his own words. Wei Gongzi, if you come to me for the Hengyuan Houfu The business of tea and wine, in the eyes of the emperor and the queen, is obviously robbing them for business. The Marquis of Hengyuan is already very rich, and he has to rob the emperor for money.

Wei Hong stood up impatiently: "The Marquis of Hengyuan is absolutely loyal to the emperor!"

For the ancients, imperial power was an absolutely sensitive topic. Even if Marquis Hengyuan has contempt for the current emperor, he never dares to say it, it would be a death penalty to say it. Shao Yunan is a modern person and has no such scruples. When he said this, even Wei Hongwen would break out in a cold sweat.

Shao Yunan shrugged: "The Marquis of Hengyuan is sincere to the emperor, and it is not something that I and Brother Jing can care about, but if others know that you have come to me for tea and wine business, they will think so. Does Young Master Wei have Grasp everyone's mouths and stop them from gossiping about you in front of the emperor? If you don't think it matters, or no one dares to do so, then I can sell you the tea and wine according to your requirements. Anyway, the queen It's easy for me to ask. I'm just a grass-roots citizen, you are the second son of the Hengyuan Houfu, you come to me, I dare not refuse."

Cold sweat broke out on Wei Hongwen's forehead. Only then did he realize his recklessness.

"So Young Master Wei, Hengyuan Marquis Mansion and yourself, you can only choose yourself. If you choose Hengyuan Marquis Mansion, you will die. Because once this matter develops into what I said, then Hengyuan Marquis will die. If the mansion wants to protect itself, it can only push you out, saying that this is your personal personal behavior and has nothing to do with the Hengyuanhou mansion. If your father loves you very much and is willing to take responsibility for you, then the whole Hengyuanhou mansion may not be the same. There will be good fruits to eat. The emperor is very short of money, and blocking people's wealth is tantamount to killing a wife."

Wei Hongwen was frightened by Shao Yunan's bold remarks, and now he still cares about business or not, he pleaded: "Please also ask Xiaoge Shao to point out the way."

At this time, Wei Hongwen still has the confidence and contempt for Shao Yunan when he came. He regretted underestimating this man.

Shao Yunan smiled: "It's actually very simple. The emperor is short of money, so you can help the emperor to make money. Of course, the premise is that you help in your own name, not in the name of Hengyuan Hou's mansion. Hengyuan Hou's mansion can't be more Money can't be more powerful."

Wei Hongwen's heart thumped again. Shao Yunan said: "Master Wei has been doing business outside all the year round, and there must be many ways to do it. Why don't you help the emperor to expand the business of tea and wine? Last year, the number of tea and wine was small, and it will increase in the future. You use 'your' Contact, 'your' way to help the emperor do business, isn't it bad to help the emperor to make money? Why do you want to grab business with the emperor? "

Shao Yunan emphasized the word "your", Wei Hongwen heard it, and his eyes gradually brightened.

"The emperor is a wise man. Although the country is in ruins now, the emperor will definitely find a way to solve all this, and the country will become stronger under the emperor's governance. The emperor is in need of manpower now. "

Wei Hongwen suddenly understood why Shao Yunan asked him whether it was for Hengyuan Houfu or himself. The emperor would never want to see a mansion of the Marquis of Hengyuan who was richer and more powerful than himself. But if you help the emperor do business as Wei Hongwen, it will definitely be the emperor's pleasure. Wei Hongwen had to re-examine Shao Yunan and laughed at his arrogance in his heart.

Wei Hongwen got up and bowed to Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing very gratefully, then sat down and said embarrassingly, "I'm afraid the queen is not willing."

Shao Yun'an said: "The Queen's unwillingness is nothing more than worrying that you are the mansion of the Marquis Hengyuan. Then you can find a way to show your sincerity to the Queen. Besides, if your own wealth and power surpass that of the Marquis Hengyuan Mansion, by then, you and the Marquis of Hengyuan will not need to be so clearly separated."

Wei Hongwen's heart trembled for the third time. Great family, everyone is taught from birth to do everything for the family. No one has ever told him that he can control the family for himself and his own abilities. Thinking of his mother's death and his father's remarriage, Wei Hongwen clenched his fists.

"Sometimes, face is a fart. Today's humiliation, tomorrow, I don't know who is riding on whose head. Under the whole world, is it the king's land. The world is the emperor's, why do you have to divide it so clearly, disciple. It's embarrassing."

Wei Hongwen smiled and smiled from the heart: "Listening to Xiaoge Shao's words, Wei is like a god. Wei is fortunate to have gone through this."

He stood up and bowed to Shao Yunan again.

The ancients really liked to use the word "Daigo empowerment". Shao Yunan, who had heard it many times, continued: "Manager Xu and Manager Zeng helped me and Brother Jing, and Brother Jing and I also repaid their kindness. Young Master Wei, Brother Jing and I look forward to working with you in the future to help the emperor and the emperor. Empress Dowager."

Wei Hongwen stood up: "Wei also looks forward to working with Brother Shao and Brother Wang!"

Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Zeng waited anxiously in the side hall. The shopkeeper Zeng was a little annoyed: "This little brother Shao is not really so unsympathetic, right?"

Shopkeeper Xu smiled bitterly: "What kind of relationship do we have with Brother Shao? Really, it's Brother Shao who has a relationship with us, but he made us a lot of money. The money we gave and what he earned for us was only a drop in the bucket. Back then, he helped us lower the purchase price." With a sigh, Manager Xu said more conscientiously, "We really embarrassed him this time."

The shopkeeper Zeng sighed: "The owner has no choice. This little brother Shao has always had many ideas. Maybe he can think of a way to get the best of both worlds."

Shopkeeper Xu said with little hope, "I hope."

The two waited anxiously for an hour when footsteps came from outside the side hall. The two immediately became tense and stood up, and then they heard Shao Yunan's voice from outside: "Since Young Master Wei is going back in a hurry, Brother Jing and I will not keep you."

"This time in a hurry, next time Wei comes to stay here, he will trouble Brother Shao and Brother Wang."

"No trouble, no trouble."

"Wei also invited Brother Shao and Brother Wang to take their children to the capital another day, and Wei made a big gift to welcome them."

"You are too kind. Brother Jing and I will definitely take our children to the capital to trouble you in the future."

"Wei can't ask for anything."

"Ha ha."

Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Zeng looked at each other with surprises in their eyes. Could it be that it was done? !

Immediately afterwards, Wei Hongwen, Shao Yunan, and Wang Shijing walked in, and Shopkeeper Xu and Shopkeeper Zeng rushed up. Shao Yunan said first: "Manager Xu and Manager Zeng are embarrassed to keep you waiting. Originally, Brother Jing and I wanted to keep you for a few days, but Young Master Wei said that you still have something to rush back, so I won't keep you."

"Brother Shao, you're welcome." Xu and Zeng hurriedly said, and the shopkeeper Xu said apologetically, "Originally, for the Chinese New Year, Xu should come to the house to pay homage to the new year. When Xu returned, Xu set a drink in the zhangxuan, and hoped that Xiaoge Shao would be happy with him. Brother Ishii can appreciate the light."

"Why is Manager Xu being so polite? You don't appreciate honor. When you are free, come to my house for dinner with Manager Zeng."

"haha okay!"

The two sides said a few more polite words. Wei Hongwen left a bunch of new year gifts for Shao Yunan, and Shao Yunan also gave a bunch of special products and snacks, and then sent each other out of the door. Wei Hongwen wanted to rush back to the capital immediately. He was so impatient that he didn't even plan to stay in Yongxiu County for one night.

After they left, Shao Yunan and Wang Shijing went to see Old Cen and the others. As soon as the two appeared, Cen Lao and Jiang Kangning asked at the same time, "How are things?"

Shao Yunan replied, "It's resolved for the time being. It's not about me and Brother Jing."

Old Cen: "Tell me about it."

Shao Yunan explained the solution he and Wang Shijing had discussed, and Lao Cen, Kang Rui, and Jiang Kangning all heard it straight. Shao Yunan said: "This is what I thought after Brother Kangchen told me about the situation of Hengyuan Hou's mansion. Brother Kangchen told me that the two eldest sons of Hengyuan Hou's mansion are not strong in the mansion. If the prince of Yuanhou does not fall on the head of the eldest son, the status of the two brothers will be threatened one day. And even if the eldest brother of Wei Hongwen is the prince, he may be slapped down, unless he becomes the prince of Hengyuan. They We need a big backer more than we do. The barefooted are not afraid of wearing shoes, and I am the barefooted one to them. Of course, the premise is that the emperor and the queen are more intimidating, otherwise I really can't do anything about it."

Jiang Kangning said: "Wei Hongru and Wei Hongwen are not stupid. Both of them are also capable, otherwise Wei Hongwen would not be able to control most of the business of Hengyuan Hou's mansion, and Wei Hongru would not be able to suppress his brothers and stepmother who are just around the corner. But for the family, the interests of the family always come first, so they can't think of this."

Shao Yunan rolled his eyes: "Looking at history, imperial power will always come first. Prosperity must decline. If the emperor really has the intention to kill, the ten Hengyuan Houfu will also be destroyed, unless they want to rebel."

"Yun'an!"

Jiang Kangning and Kang Rui hurriedly stopped Shao Yunan's rebellious words and deeds, but Old Cen asked, "How does Ange'er see the current emperor?"

Shao Yunan looked at Jiang Kangning and Kang Rui, and said arrogantly: "Don't say it, or the elder brother and the senior brother will kill me again."

Jiang Kangning was so angry that he lost his temper: "I'm afraid that you will be so open-mouthed when you are outside, and you will kill yourself."

"I'm not a fool. I'm talking nonsense outside. Isn't it courting death?"

Jiang Kangning laughed angrily: "Then tell me, eldest brother won't kill you anymore."

Kang Rui: "Senior brother is all ears, but you must remember that you must be cautious in your words and deeds when you are outside."

Shao Yunan grinned and said, "As far as I know, the emperor is not bad. First of all, it is rare for the emperor to have such deep affection for the queen, which shows that the emperor should talk about love when it is time to talk about love. Secondly, the emperor promulgated The new imperial examination decree also attached great importance to the selection of officials. I hoped that the elected officials would be good and honest officials, indicating that the emperor had the intention to rectify the government. The recipe for brewing is also willing to give me dividends, which further shows that the emperor is a rare wise man.

With the emperor, a wise man, and capable people like Cen, senior, and eldest brother to assist the emperor, even if the country is relatively difficult now, it will recover and become stronger in the future. Besides, when a dynasty was founded, it was not a waste to be renovated, but every dynasty will have a prosperous age, and behind each prosperous age there is a wise man. I believe that we will also become strong and prosperous. "

Old Cen laughed, laughing loudly, and suddenly laughed in his heart: "Okay! Good! With Ang'er's auspicious words, the old man also believes that I will reappear in the prosperous world of Dayan!"

Old Cen would not take it seriously if others said so, but Old Cen was willing to believe it when Shao Yunan, a "strange man" said so with certainty.

Kang Rui was also excited by the words: "If it's as Yun An said, I'll have to stand up."

Jiang Kangning said smugly, "You can't miss Yun An and Ishii."

Shao Yunan took Wang Shijing's hand and said, "I only need to be responsible for making money."

"You are lazy!"

The three hate that iron cannot become steel. Such talent, it is a waste not to enter the court!

Wang Shijing clenched his daughter-in-law's hand tightly, so he would not let her daughter-in-law become an official, what would he do if he was seen by the young masters in the capital.
