In fact, in this world, all things are very simple for those who are willing to do so; but for those who have had a smooth life and have never experienced any setbacks, they still count their money after being sold.
, this kind of thing will not happen!
There is a saying that goes, 'The sea is open to all rivers, and it is great when it is tolerant!'
How big a person’s heart is, how vast the world will be!
Mi Fu finally returned with satisfaction, while Liu Ruyi quietly watched his back go away, with a playful smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Ruyi, this, how can this be made? One million taels! This, this, this is not a small amount! Even when the Xiao family was at its peak, it would take a lot of money to come up with so much money.
After all the hard work, you sold off some of your family property. Now, what are you going to do?" Seeing Mi Fu walking away, Xiao Mowen couldn't help but lament loudly. He knew that although his 'son-in-law' was young,
, but far from ordinary, but it is almost impossible to come up with such money all at once!
"Haha~! Uncle! You don't have to worry too much about this!" Liu Ruyi smiled slightly and said: "Everything in the world is people-oriented! Everything is done by people! Since his young master Mi San has already
After opening this mouth, if we don't accept it, wouldn't it be looked down upon?"
"But, if you wish, this is too much! Hey! Even if you can get the money, how can the Xiao family, the Xiao family, afford it back!" Xiao Mowen has been in extreme anxiety these days.
, I didn’t understand the meaning of Liu Ruyi’s words for a while.
Liu Ruyi stood up, poured a glass of water and wine for Xiao Mowen, and said with a smile: "Uncle, someone will naturally pay for this money for us, but whether the Mi family can afford it depends on whether they have such good steel.
Teeth!"
…………
Beijing, Tianfu.
In the spacious hall, orange-red candlelight swayed gently in the wind, and the sound of silk and bamboo pipes sounded. Dozens of musicians were concentrating on playing the timeless famous song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River". In the center of the hall, there were more than a dozen plump and enchanting figures.
The colorful dancers only wear light tulle and dance gracefully, like a group of alluring butterflies!
Tian Guozhang was sitting on the main seat, his eyes were red, and he was drinking wine one after another, as if he didn't even notice the young girls who were almost clinging to him.
Tonight, he originally wanted to invite the emperor's close ministers and eunuch Wang Chengen, the eunuch who was responsible for the rituals, to come to his home as a guest. However, unexpectedly, the emperor was temporarily busy and Wang Eunuch could not come today!
For Tian Guozhang, this is no problem!
Concubine Tian has given birth to three sons for Emperor Chongzhen. Although two of the princes died young, the Yongwang Zhu Cixiang was healthy, intelligent and loved by Emperor Chongzhen. Concubine Tian was already considerate, slender and charming.
Mother is more valuable than son, which makes the Tian family's status almost untouchable.
But just now, a servant brought a secret letter. Someone dared to disturb Tai Sui, kidnapped his only precious son, and extorted one million taels of silver! The signature clearly read 'Jiangnan Mi Family, Liu Ruyi'
Here’s to you together!
Tian Guozhang couldn't believe his eyes. He had heard about the Mi family in Jiangnan, but who was Liu Ruyi? Is this the world of the Ming Dynasty? A family of merchants and an unknown person dare to be so rampant? This
It was just a slap in his face!
For many years, Tian Guozhang has never been as angry as he is today!
Once upon a time, he was still a poor soldier. After working hard for many years, he finally got a deputy position in Yangzhou and his life finally improved!
It was also in that year that his daughter was born in an alley of Dongguan Street in Yangzhou! It is said that on that day, colorful clouds were flying in the sky and hundreds of birds were singing together. At that time, some quacks said that this daughter would be the best in her life.
, you must fulfill your destiny of wealth and honor!
From then on, Tian Guozhang seemed to be favored by God, and his life gradually began to change! He gave up his military position and turned to business. Slowly, his family situation got better and better!
His beloved daughter was named "Xiuying". She was extremely smart since she was a child and could sing a lot. Tian Guozhang doted on her very much. He not only hired Su Ru at a high price to teach her to read and draw, but also hired a piano player to teach her music.
By the time Tian Xiuying was twelve or thirteen years old, she was already able to recite poems and compose poems. Every poem she wrote was always beautiful and elegant, and was widely recited by people!
Finally, Tian Guozhang's hard work was greatly rewarded. Tian Xiuying was first selected into Prince Xin's Mansion and became a concubine. In the first year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian was awarded the title of Dabao. Xiuying was named a concubine, and then the imperial concubine, becoming the world's most powerful concubine.
One of the most respected women!
According to historical records, "Every scroll of calligraphy and painting was ordered to be reviewed by Concubine Tian!" This shows how favored she was!
The father-in-law of Tian Guozhang gradually climbed to the top of his life.
Over the years, Tian Guozhang has become accustomed to this kind of glorious and wealthy life, where he plays silk and bamboo music every day and is accompanied by beautiful women. Gradually, his heart has become a little self-inflated, as if everyone should revolve around him!
But now, someone dared to attack his precious son. How could he accept this?
"Get out of here!" Tian Guozhang took a sip of wine and slammed the wine glass to the ground. The dancers and musicians around him were startled and hurriedly retreated!
"Go, quickly go and invite Mr. Wang!" Tian Guozhang burped and loudly ordered the boy beside him.
After a moment, a thin scribe with a goatee and a goatee quickly ran into the room and said carefully: "Dong Weng, what troubles have you encountered?"
Tian Guozhang handed the secret letter into the hands of the master without saying a word.
The master glanced quickly, and the sweat on his forehead was already dripping, "Dong Weng, this, this is really counter-intuitive! This evil thief must be captured as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the young master!"
Tian Guozhang glanced at the master and said, "Mr. Wang, in your opinion, how should we deal with this matter? Looking at the meaning of the letter, we still can't tell whether the person is in the Mi family or in the hands of this surnamed Liu. I
I feel a little confused!"
Mr. Wang is from Yangzhou and was born in Juren. He is half of Tian Guozhang's hometown. Before Tian Guozhang's rise to prominence, the two had already had a close relationship and were Tian Guozhang's confidants.
Mr. Wang frowned and thought for a while, then his thoughts gradually settled down, "Dong Weng, this matter! The first thing we have to consider is the safety of the young master! For one million taels, they really dare to speak! If they are students
You guessed it right, there is probably something fishy in this matter!"
"Oh? Sir, please explain in detail!"
Mr. Wang took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said softly: "Dong Weng, the young master went out to study and stayed with Mr. Fang in Huaibei. However, we have not heard from Mr. Fang now, so this matter cannot be
Sure! According to the students, we must first confirm this matter with Mr. Fang! What’s more, the Jiangnan Mi family is also very human, how can they dare to offend you, Dong Weng? If the matter is true, we can’t think of a solution.
Too late! Maybe they are just a few blind thieves, risking other people's names to defraud money like you, Dong Weng?"
"This matter is easy to handle! Inform the Jin Yiwei and ask them to inquire and find out! Huh! I want to see who dares to do something to the people of my Tian family!" Tian Guozhang said fiercely.
He has a good relationship with the commander of Jinyiwei, so this matter is not a big deal!
"Dong Weng, this is absolutely impossible!" Mr. Wang was startled, "Dong Weng, this is the critical moment for the imperial concubine. If, if the enemy gets the handle, this will be a bit outweighed by the gain!
"
At this time, Concubine Tian was becoming more and more favored and arrogant. She seemed to be overshadowing Queen Zhou. However, Queen Zhou was not jealous. She formed an alliance with another favored concubine, Concubine Yuan.
, waiting for an opportunity to find something wrong with Concubine Tian!
Everything in front of me is obtained by my daughter. If my daughter falls out of favor, then...
Tian Guozhang wiped his hands in cold sweat with lingering fear. He simply could not imagine the consequences!
"Sir, what do you think?"
"Dong Weng, let's just wait and see what happens! And immediately send someone to contact Young Master Fang. Since they want money, they will definitely not harm the young master's life! Everything needs to be stabilized!" Mr. Wang said hurriedly.
.
Tian Guozhang nodded vigorously.
…………
The Xiao family, in a remote wing.
Liu Ruyi looked at the person in front of her with a smile, "Master Tian, what are you thinking about? Hey! In fact, we are all members of our own family, why do we have to do this?"
Master Tian has been taken to the Xiao family compound from Caishi Town by Liu Ruyi. He is considered to have a distinguished status, and Liu Ruyi has not abused him. He eats and drinks well every day. Except for the lack of women, his life is not too bad.
Too difficult.
"Liu, you damn young man is not the same as me. We can't pee in the same pot!" Mr. Tian was obviously a little worried about what happened that day. Although he was a little afraid of Liu Ruyi, he still died.
He held on and refused to lose face.
"Master Tian, what you said is wrong! As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. There is no hatred between you and me for killing your father or taking away your wife. Is there any hatred that cannot be resolved?" Liu Ruyi said with a smile.
"You? Hehe, I don't recognize it!" Master Tian couldn't help but feel proud again when he saw Liu Ruyi's soft attitude.
Liu Ruyi was not angry and continued to laugh: "Oh, I heard that the third young master of the Mi family in Nanjing just took a concubine! It is said that the little beauty was once a high-ranking official in the family. For some unknown reason a few years ago,
When someone is in trouble, he ends up living in the world! I wonder if Mr. Tian has ever heard of it?"
"Bah! I'm very busy, how can I have time to take care of these little things?" Mr. Tian said disdainfully.
"Haha, that little beauty's flower name is Yutangchun!" Liu Ruyi smiled faintly.
"What?" Mr. Tian jumped up suddenly!
This Yutangchun was originally Jining's top courtesan. She was petite and plump. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She had been raised by Mr. Fang as a cash cow. Mr. Tian also fell in love with her at first sight and was very obsessed with her! He had been begging for Mr. Fang several times.
Wanted, but Master Fang wanted to use her to tie Master Tian's heart, so he was never able to satisfy Master Tian's needs.
Liu Ruyi put some thought into it, and sent Zuo Wenxiu, the former Dushanya second master, to get through the Cao Gang's relationship, and behind Mr. Fang's back, he redeemed Yutangchun! As a condition of friendship, he gave it to Mi Jiasan.
Young Master Mi Fu! Although he spent tens of thousands of taels of silver, he planted a hidden thorn in advance!
"Haha~! Don't be excited, Mr. Tian!" Liu Ruyi smiled and walked up to Mr. Tian, lowering her voice and said: "As long as you do what I want! When things come true in the future, we will split the Mi family's wealth 50-50! I've already heard it.
It is said that Young Master Mi San has liked to collect beauties from all over the world since he was a child! I don’t want any of these! How about giving them all to you, Mr. Tian?"
