Chapter 818： Great wealth (four

  Chapter 818 Huge wealth (four chapters)

Yang Lan'er stepped forward and sat beside Tan Anjun. She looked at Qi Xiang who was sitting under the fourth younger brother Yang Cunyi, and he regained his previous majestic image in front of people.

"Why didn't you sleep a little longer?" Tan Anjun saw that she had just woken up, with a tired look on her face, and took the teacup from the servant girl's hand with distress, and handed it to her: "Come, have a hot drink." Tea reminder."

"Okay." Yang Lan'er smiled at him, took a sip of the tea cup.

Mrs. Zhou looked at her sister-in-law and her husband's love with a smile, "Lan'er, God bless you to come back safely. It's really a blessing."

Yang Laner glanced at everyone, smiled and did not answer Zhou's train of thought, but asked, "Why didn't you see Yingzi and Yanger? Where did they go?"

Mentioning the two children, Mrs. Zhou was all smiles: "When the two of them entered the mansion, it was like fish entering the water. They couldn't bear to follow us adults to talk about family affairs, so they ran to Yu'er and Kun'er's yard long ago, looking for them. They went to play."

Yang Lan'er nodded: "Children have their own world, let them go."

"Lan'er, you've lost weight and darkened." Zhou was at a loss for words.

Not only Yang Lan'er was present, the corners of everyone's mouths twitched, and they didn't write drafts when they lied.

Now it's winter and they wear thick clothes. They don't know if she is thin or not, but to say that she is dark is a bit of a lie.

Yang Lan'er's face skin is like a peeled egg, with red in the white, is that called black?

Yang Cunren's head was full of black lines. Before everyone could speak, he reminded Mr. Zhou: "Several children are playing together, don't make trouble. If you sit here if you have nothing to do, go and watch them."

Mrs. Zhou wanted to say, how can such a big child need to be watched, but before she opened her mouth, Yang Cunren told her: "Yingzi and Yang'er didn't eat much for breakfast, you can cook something they like in the kitchen later." Snacks to send."

When Mrs. Zhou heard that her two children might not be full, she was not in the mood to insinuate what happened to her sister-in-law after she met the enemy.

Waiting for Mrs. Zhou to leave the flower hall with Li Xia, Yang Cunren realized that everyone's eyes were on him. Seeing that he had noticed, everyone looked away as if nothing had happened.

Ahem! As the host, Tan Anjun felt that the flower hall was not a place to discuss matters, so he helped Yang Lan'er up, and then said to everyone: "Recently, I got a can of new tea, which is rare and the best. Are you interested in going to the study room to drink some tea together?" ?”

"My lord, I'm honored to part with you!" Qi Xiang was the first to stand up.

Yang Cunren has stayed at the border for many years, and he understands the meaning, so he follows along.

On the scene, only Yang Cunyi was still ignorant, but in front of the big shots, he didn't dare to talk too much, just follow along.

Arriving in the study room, Xiao Liu turned on the stove used for heating in the room, turned on the low air inlet, and the kettle on the stove boiled water in a short while.

Yang Lan'er waved him to go down. She made tea for everyone with her own hands. This pot of tea was produced in her space. In this outside world, it is not an exaggeration to call it the top tea.

Clean the ironing utensils, brew tea filter residues, because the tea is produced in the space, there is no such thing as first-time tea and second-time tea. After a set of actions are operated smoothly, the room is full of fragrance.

Wait for the tea to drink into your mouth, your mouth will be full of saliva, and the fragrance will linger in your mouth.

Good tea!

Qi Xiang squinted her peach blossom eyes in enjoyment, and begged directly: "I have only seen this tea in my life, brother Tan, give me some of it."

Tan Anjun replied without thinking: "You think beautifully!"

Yang Cunren drank the tea in the cup, put it in the teacup, and joined in the fun: "Give me some for your uncle, too."

Tan Anjun is still stubborn: "No!"

Yang Cunren was not discouraged, he turned his head to Yang Lan'er with a loving face, his rough face was wrinkled, "Sister, this time you had an accident, brother ran away for several days and nights without closing his eyes, look how much brother I love you, how much tea do you have in your house?"

Tan Anjun was furious when he heard the words, and asked how many more, he didn’t look at the dishes like that, if there were how many, are you planning to rob how many?

I have never seen such a shameless person!

He gritted his teeth, and before Yang Lan'er could speak, he interrupted: "The only remaining can is not enough for me to drink by myself. If you want it, two words: no!"

"Hi! Brother." Qi Xiang patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be stingy, you have to know how to share good things, you have to set an example for your sons, right? Like me, if you get Dongzhu, you will send a box, Yang Lan'er really likes it."

Yang Lan'er stroked her forehead, this guy is here to trick her, you said that if you want tea, you should ask for tea, and you can be involved in the game even after watching a play?

Sure enough

Tan Anjun's eyes widened: "Dongzhu? What Dongzhu?"

Qi Xiang leaned back, smiled faintly, but didn't answer.

Yang Lan'er glared secretly at the vile boy, and smiled awkwardly at the husband: "It's just a box of beads, and they said it was for me to scare me."

It's over, the vinegar tank of her silly roe deer was overturned.

Who knows, his eyes widened in surprise, he glanced at Tan Anjun and Qi Xiang, as if he didn't know him, he opened his mouth and asked exaggeratedly: "Could it be that little box that Lichun was holding just now?"

Qi Xiang nodded in a good mood: "Yes."

That box of pearls was something he had managed to get. He thought that women like pearls, so he sent them here.

Now, Tan Anjun once again had the opportunity to display his poisonous tongue skills: "Why are you like this?"

"What's wrong with me?"

"I'm so stingy, and you still say I'm stingy, I'm not as good as you."

"What's wrong with me?" Qi Xiang thought that his gift this time was good enough. This box of Dongzhu is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, why is he so stingy?

Tan Anjun ignored him, but pinched his little wife's little nose affectionately: "You want beads to play with, why don't you tell my husband that there are not many things here, but there are too many beads."

As he spoke, he got up and went to the inner room. After a while, he came out with a big cloth bag on his shoulders.

As soon as he put the cloth bag on the table, the table where he was drinking tea just now shook.

"My lord and brother-in-law, what is this bag?" Yang Cunren asked cautiously, could it be what he thought?

If so, this is too exaggerated.

"You can tell when you open it." Tan Anjun sat beside Yang Lan'er leisurely.

Yang Cunren glanced around, seeing no objection, he swallowed, nervously but impatiently opened the cloth bag, looked inside, gasped, and coughed until he choked.

Tan Anjun didn't think it was shocking enough, so he yelled at the door: "Xiao Liu, go and bring me a wooden box."

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Qi Xiang provocatively.

You use a box, I use a box, see who is more stingy than the other!

Xiao Liu responded, and after a short wait, he really brought a wooden box in.

"Put it on the ground." Tan Anjun pointed at Qi Xiang's feet, and ordered Xiao Liu: "Pour the contents of the cloth bag into this box."

Looking at his childish expression and movements, Yang Lan'er covered her face, unable to see!

Xiao Liu's movements were vigorous, and with a bang, a large bag of pearls of various colors was poured into the wooden box.

This. Xiaoliu is stunned!

There were three gasps behind him. Yang Cunren pointed to the wooden box with various pearls with trembling hands. He found that he was at a loss for words. What could he say?

Pearls are called pearls because they are rare and precious.

"Pearls, pearls, precious beads are called pearls. I saw your house. They should be called marbles. You play with them."

Yang Lan'er smiled helplessly, turned her head and glared at the man bitterly, the childish boy didn't look at him.

Using the pearls produced in her space as a facade!

Qi Xiang stretched out his hand and bent down, picked up a black pearl the size of a cherry from the surface, and gently transported it. If such a top-quality black pearl hadn't been personally identified, he would suspect that it was a handicraft product brought by her from modern times.

His eyes were dim, and he casually threw the bead into the wooden box, and said in a beating voice: "No matter how much you have, what's the use of it? It's not piled up in the study to collect dust, and I haven't seen you give it to Yang Lan'er. If If it didn’t come out today, we don’t even know that you have so many marbles in your study.”

Tan Anjun coughed guiltyly, "These are pearls, not marbles. I originally wanted the craftsman to make a complete set of jewelry, and then give her a surprise when it is finished. I didn't expect you to give her a box today. I don't like it." beads."

When Qi Xiang heard the words, he almost vomited blood. The Dongzhu he had found so hard was actually called a worthless bead by him.

Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated!

Wait, he wrote down this account with him in a small notebook.

"Lan'er, my husband will make you a set of pink ones, black ones, white ones, and purple ones, so that you can change them if you have nothing to do."

Yang Lan'er looked at the tugging man in front of her, and really wanted to roll her eyes at him face to face, and said mercilessly: "I'm afraid my head will become an exhibition hall by then."

Qi Xiang burst out laughing, and seeing the choking man on the other side almost rolling his eyes, his chuckle turned into a big laugh, "Haha, what Lan'er said is so right."

Yang Lan'er ignored him, and tugged at her man's arm: "You let them share this pot of tea, and then I'll find you two, three, four or five pots, so that you can drink as much as you want. Let's drink one by one."

Qi Xiang's laughter hadn't stopped, she was almost choked to death by her own saliva, they were fighting over a couple of tea leaves, but she allowed her husband to drink one or two cups, is there anything more extreme than this?

Among these people, Yang Cunyi was the most proud. He didn't even participate, and he got one-third of the can of tea without any effort, which is great!

After the tea leaves were divided, several men started to talk about the business. When talking about the current situation, only Yang Cunyi had a half-knowledge here, and this time he sat aside and kept silent.

Qi Xiang caressed her newly acquired tea pot, looked at Tan Anjun and said: "The new emperor was in power at the beginning, and he was eager for success. He made drastic reforms to the court and the local government, which aroused many people's objections, but I don't know how long it will take." Stretch your hand into the barracks?"

Tan Anjun snorted: "Even if he is eager for success, he doesn't dare to reach out at this time. At least he will have to wait until the middle of next year."

At that time, the spring plowing just ended, and there was still a lot of time before the autumn harvest, and the barbarians from outside the border would not come to the border to make a big attack at this time. At this time, the power transfer happened just in time.

As long as his interests are not involved, it doesn't matter to him who is the emperor in this world. Qi Xiang shook his head and asked: "I heard that your late emperor Muwangfu has already taken it back for you. Why? You don't plan to go back?" Beijing?"

Tan Anjun replied without thinking: "It's boring to go back to Beijing, you won't be free at all, don't go back!"

Especially don't want to kneel down to worship the new emperor, that kid has always been at odds with him in the past.

It's not that friends don't get together, but he doesn't want to see him.

Yang Cunren coughed a few times, well, people will die when comparing people, and throw away goods when comparing goods. He dreams of going to Beijing to become an official, but his brother-in-law regards the capital as a scourge and a cage of freedom that traps him .

Qi Xiang glanced at him, Yang Laner, the eldest brother, is still too pure in thinking, has never experienced too many dangers in life, let alone experienced strife in the officialdom, and is still imagining that the capital is the pinnacle of life as an official.

However, it is also a good thing for a person to have a heart of profit and wealth, at least he will work hard for it.

Yang Lan'er asked Qi Xiang at this time: "I heard that your family is a wealthy family in the capital. Do you have any news about the recent intentions of the new emperor?"

Know the intention and know the next move of the new emperor.

"Listening to your question, I really have a piece of news that isn't news."

"what news?"

Qi Xiang gave Tan Anjun a slightly sympathetic look, and just this one glance made Tan Anjun sit up straight, knowing that this must be related to his own news, otherwise he would not have such an expression.

Thinking of this, Tan Anjun tensed his face and uttered a word coldly: "Say!"

Qi Xiang pursed her lips embarrassingly, and said in a low voice: "The new emperor intends to weaken the influence of the kings. You all know that the princes of all dynasties and fiefdoms are the emperor's confidantes. However, the new emperor intends to weaken the influence of the kings. , but at this moment he doesn't know where to start, he is afraid that things will be reversed at the extreme, and he will force someone to jump over the wall in a hurry."

Tan Anjun snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Why didn't he say that the vassal kings of various places helped him guard the long border!"

"We can't control the new emperor's thoughts, but you have to be mentally prepared." After speaking, Qi Xiang looked at Yang Lan'er again: "Your family's original land is in Yongzhou, which belongs to the south, and the place is relatively rich. It's just that he has been missing for so many years, and the taxation of the fief has always been managed by the late emperor.

Now that he is defending his title again and appearing in the eyes of the world, it stands to reason that this tax should be returned to the prince. Now, it’s hard to say, the new emperor is a narrow-minded and stingy person. Will he willingly return such a huge amount of money? "

Tan Anjun gritted his teeth: "The dowry of my mother and concubine and the property of Mu Wangfu are all in the hands of the late emperor."

Now it is equal to being pinched in the hands of the new emperor.

In the study room, the four gasped in unison. How much wealth would that be?

Yang Lan'er feels that she will not be able to sleep for at least a month in the future, and she suffers from insomnia, what should I do?

"Lan'er, what's wrong with you?" Yang Cunren asked worriedly seeing her clutching her chest.

Yang Lan'er looked at everyone resentfully: "My heart hurts!"

Qi Xiang pursed her lips and laughed softly.

Tan Anjun looked at her helplessly. He knew that his little wife loved the money, but he would always find a way to get it back.

"One day, he will return, we are not in a hurry." This is not consolation.
