At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the war on the Shandong Peninsula was fought in a dark and dark way.
Modern Society, February 1, 2026.
Taizhou.
Xu Yuan is facing a rather thorny problem.
The Grand Palace, in the lobby on the first floor of the villa.
"Tell me, what do you want to do with me and your child?" Song Jiayun stood in front of Xu Yuan with her hands on her hips and a belly about six months old, and asked with a cold face.
"Honey, haven't we already received the certificate? We've also taken wedding photos, we're just missing a wedding banquet." Sitting on the sofa, Xu Yuan waved and wanted to hug the woman, but Song Jiayun had indeed become his.
My wife, as early as July last year, she said she was pregnant and the child was his. On the 7th of that month, the two of them quickly obtained the certificate and even went to take wedding photos in August.
"Go away! What kind of couple do we two look like?"
Song Jiayun shed tears of grievance and complained: "You have to go on business trips every day and only come back three or four days a month. You don't have time to accompany me at all. My mother even took me to the hospital for prenatal check-ups. If I encounter problems,
I don't see you all the time, I have to buy whatever I want to eat, and sometimes when I miss you, I can't even get through on the phone. What's the difference between me and being a widow? If I had known this, I shouldn't have been fooled.
Get your certificate!"
"There's nothing I can do about it."
Xu Yuan spread his hands helplessly: "My job is of this nature. You didn't know it before, so why can't you accept it now?"
"I don't care, since I'm married, I can't live without my husband, and my children can't live without their father!"
Song Jiayun issued an ultimatum: "I'll give you two choices, either quit this job, spend time with me and my children, and help me take care of Tianfeng Jewelry; or break up and get divorced, it won't matter with or without you anyway."
no difference."
Song Jiayun has a pretty face and a very tough attitude. There is nothing she can do about it. She is just a woman. She could live a very carefree life when she was single. However, after having a child, she realized how fragile she was. She was exhausted after morning sickness.
, when the physical burden continues to increase, I have to be careful when pouring myself a glass of water, and when I need someone to help with any housework, I realize how important it is to have a man!
So she has changed her mind now. Xu Yuan should stop going abroad to hunt for gold. From now on, she can just take care of herself at home. If she wants to work, just go to the deputy manager of Tianfeng Jewelry and pay her a salary of 3,000 yuan, and serve her well.
My child, even if he has to live a life of soft food, she, Song Jiayun, will take care of it. If she doesn't agree, she will show her cards!
Of course Xu Yuan could not agree. Although being cared for by a rich woman was something that countless men dreamed of, he was a time traveler and a man who was upright. How could he do such a shameful thing? He had no choice but to walk over and put his arms around the woman's shoulders.
He coaxed and persuaded, and promised to find ways to increase the time he spent with her, but it didn't work. Song Jiayun had had enough, and he had to make a choice today!
Look at her determined and uncompromising look.
Xu Yuan thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said to the woman: "Song Jiayun, come with me."
"Where to go?"
"You'll know when you get here."
Walking to the elevator entrance, entering the elevator, and pressing the button for the second floor, Xu Yuan called the woman in.
Seeing the sneaky look on the man's face, Song Jiayun was a little scared. What was he going to do? Was he going to do something, or lock her in the basement and never let her out? She felt that she might have gone too far just now.
, how many kind-hearted people are engaged in the gold mining industry? Many golds of unknown origin are filled with blood. She may have underestimated this husband. He is a ruthless person who brings at least dozens or hundreds of kilograms of gold every month, let alone
Princess disease, even a real princess's head can be beaten to pieces. Thinking of this, she squeezed out a smile and said: "Husband, I'm afraid of the dark, so I won't go down. What I said just now were all angry words. You
Do not take it seriously."
"Come when I tell you to come!"
Xu Yuan took her hand and entered the elevator.
…
Inside the underground vault.
When the metal safes were opened one by one, the gold bricks inside were exposed.
Song Jiayun's screams never stopped.
"Lots of gold!"
"One yuan, two yuan...more than a hundred yuan, several safes are full!"
"A rough calculation shows that there are about 30 tons of gold in your underground vault. Oh my god, have you dug a big gold mine? With such a high output, it must be a relatively famous gold mine, right?"
Song Jiayun's pink lips parted slightly, she couldn't help being surprised and asked various questions.
"Don't ask where the mine is. There are many people who know about it, and I can't even make a profit. I can only tell you that the mine is entirely a private mine controlled by me. The reserves are indeed not low. I sold it to
Your gold, plus the 30.82 tons of gold in this vault, is only one-tenth of the mineable reserves of that gold mine. Do you think I am willing to give up a mine that big and only eat your food from now on?
?" Xu Yuan asked seriously.
"Well……"
Song Jiayun shook her head and said: "You probably won't give up." The gold reserves of several hundred tons are worth at least hundreds of billions, and the wealth of future generations will be at least several generations. It is impossible for her to give up.
"Now you understand my difficulty. It's not that I don't want to spend more time with you, or that I don't want to call you, but as soon as the phone is turned on, the location of my gold mine may be exposed, and someone will come to grab the mine right away.
, let alone gold, you may not even be able to save your life, so why not be safe?"
"Hmm~"
Song Jiayun nodded repeatedly, it made sense, it could be explained.
Xu Yuan added: "You are my woman, and the child in your belly is my child. I am very relieved about you, and I will not treat you badly. I can't give you a lot of time to accompany you, and I can only give you some financial compensation."
, In this way, from now on, all the gold in my vault will be wholesaled to you at a fixed price of 300 yuan per gram. No matter how low it is, it will be impossible. The mining cost will be more than 250 yuan per gram. You are also engaged in this industry, what is the cost?
You know better than me."
"300 per gram?"
Song Jiayun rolled her eyes and immediately entered the smart businessman's module. She knew exactly the cost. With the increase in labor and equipment costs, as well as the increase in the difficulty of gold mining, the mining cost of gold at home and abroad is now rarely less than 280.
Per gram, Xuyuan’s cost of 250 is quite low.
The current purchase price of gold jewelry from jewelry factories is 340 to 355 yuan/gram. Gold and Silver House sells it for 380 to 400 yuan/gram. The profit margin of Gold and Silver House is 40
It looks like yuan/gram.
If you can get a large amount of gold from Xuyuan at a wholesale price of 300 yuan per gram, even if you need to pay a processing fee of 15 yuan per gram to send it to a jewelry factory, the profit margin will still be more than 65 yuan per gram.
Profits increased by at least 50%.
You can even engage in price reduction promotions to improve the commercial competitiveness of Tianfeng Jewelry and win more customers.
Looking at the glittering underground vault again, and thinking that there were still 90% unexploited reserves, Song Jiayun actually had an ambition in her heart. She planned to build her own gold and silver jewelry brand and open Tianfeng Jewelry all over the country.
All over the country, we should build well-known brands like Lao Fengxiang and Chow Tai Fook, instead of developing in the small city of Taizhou, and strive for greater development space.
As for the confidence, it all comes from the big gold mine owned by her husband.
Therefore, Song Jiayun, who has regained her rationality, still plans to be strong and independent, not to cause trouble for the man, and not to affect his gold mining business, because this can also bring huge benefits to herself, the children in her belly, and her family.
The good thing is, you can't give up on such a good future prospect just because you suffered a little during pregnancy.
So she quickly became reasonable, gentle and virtuous.
Suddenly Song Jiayun's expression changed again. Although she had figured it out, her parents were not so easy to figure it out. Especially after she became pregnant, her parents, who were responsible for taking care of her, had strong objections behind her back. Her father Song Rongsheng scolded Xu.
Yuan is a scumbag and irresponsible! Even his mother, Wen Ruohong, also criticized her. She felt that she was misjudged. Although career is important, my wife is pregnant, so I still have to spend more time with her, right?
"It's easy to convince your parents. Just explain to them that the nature of our marriage is to marry two people. You will live with your parents for a long time in the future, and I will live with mine, and we will meet occasionally. As for the children, you
Ask your parents to help take care of you. If you have a second child in the future, the second child will have your surname Song. In this way, as their daughter, you will always be by their side, and you will have an additional descendant of the Song family. I believe this kind of two-term marriage, your father
Mom should be more willing to accept it," Xu Yuan said.
"Marriage at both ends?"
Song Jiayun thought for a moment. She had heard of this form of marriage and it was very popular now. Although it was a bit troublesome for her, as she had to run back and forth frequently, for her parents, it was completely acceptable because
Not many parents would want their only daughter to be away from them for a long time after getting married.
At the same time, Song Jiayun also felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She always felt that the man had arranged it like this and wanted to hide something from her. After all, as a woman, who doesn't want to sleep with her husband every day?
But because of the nature of Xu Yuan's job, it's almost like a two-end marriage, even if it's not a two-end marriage. She lives alone in Xu Yuan's big villa, who will take care of her? She doesn't stay at her parents' house most of the time.
Just marry two people.
…
On the twenty-eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Xu Yuan drove his car, loaded a trunk full of specialties and New Year goods, and came to Zijin Huacheng Community to celebrate the New Year at the home of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Most of the specialties he brought were brought from the late Ming Dynasty.
There were two live bread crabs weighing seven or eight kilograms, a wild large yellow croaker weighing more than thirty kilograms, more than fifty dried abalone weighing half a kilogram, and four dried cuttlefish the size of a washbasin.
, and more than 30 kilograms of black pork from Xujiazhuang pig farm, which are fed with ancient natural ingredients. Although it grows slowly, it tastes amazingly delicious. It is ten times more fragrant than the pork in people's memory. It is absolutely
It’s not the tasteless white pork in modern society.
Song Rongsheng, his cheap father-in-law, who made several trips up and down to help carry these special products for the New Year. He originally planned to yell at Xu Yuan when he saw them, but when he saw so many special products and sincerity, he had to keep his opinions to himself for the time being.
At the dinner table, after tasting the astonishing deliciousness of the food Xu Yuan brought, Song Rongsheng suddenly felt that this cheap son-in-law was actually pretty good. At least the specialties he brought today were definitely comparable to the legendary special foods.
It will be more honorable to entertain relatives and friends in the future.
Mother-in-law Wen Ruohong was not so easily bribed. She still made a lot of comments to Xu Yuan at the dinner table, asking him to spend more time with his wife Song Jiayun.
"Mom, that's what I thought about it. I usually travel too much on business, but I can't let go of my outside career, so I discussed it with Jiayun and felt that we two are more suitable for a two-partner marriage." Xu
Yuan expressed his thoughts.
"Marriage at both ends?"
Song Rongsheng and Wen Ruohong were both slightly stunned.
