Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 200 Are You Won't Marry Me?

"Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Everyone stood up one after another and asked with concern.

The left side of Princess Xiangcheng's face was bruised, as if she had been beaten.

It was too far away to see clearly in the dark, but you can see it when you get closer.

Who has the guts to be wounded by someone who is a dignified daughter?

"It's nothing, I accidentally bumped into it."

Princess Xiangcheng shook her head and said calmly.

She went straight to the only empty seat left and sat down.

Everyone looked at each other and sat down one after another, but they still looked at Princess Xiangcheng.

"Wanxiu, is it Xiao Rui?!"

After Du Miaoyan sat down, she suddenly asked.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then they also thought of Xiao Rui.

With the body of Princess Xiangcheng's daughter, ordinary people dare not hurt her, so only Xiao Rui has the possibility.

It's just that Xiao Rui was deprived of all official positions, and his father Xiao Yu was also dead, so he dared to beat the princess of Xiangcheng?
"Come on, let's have a drink."

Princess Xiangcheng smiled slightly.

There is no denying, that is admitting.

"Hey, I'm going to kill him!"

Qin Huaiyu slapped the desk, stood up and walked out.

"Confused, is this something we can interfere with?"

Chang Sun Chong hurriedly got up and grabbed the drunk Qin Huaiyu.

Even though he wanted to stand up for Princess Xiangcheng, he and others were not able to stand up.

If Princess Xiangcheng wants to treat Xiao Rui, she can tell the emperor directly, or report to Zongzheng Temple.

As the young minister of Zongzheng Temple, Changsun Chong only needs a word from Princess Xiangcheng, and he can make Xiao Rui take off a layer of skin.

"Sit down, this is my private matter, I will not be polite if I need your help."

Princess Xiangcheng shook her head and said.

She didn't want to say more, and she didn't want to pursue it.

Everyone looked at her and could only drink with her.

Then Princess Xiangcheng took the initiative to bring up the matter of Gao Gaojiu, and everyone slowly got into the topic.

In the end, after discussion, Princess Xiangcheng, Changsun Chong and others will publicize it to the royal relatives and dignitaries tomorrow, and the business will start the day after tomorrow.

A reservation system is adopted. Under the premise that there is no stock, whoever pays the deposit first will pay the goods first.

With assurances from Du Miaoyan, Chang Sunchong and others, there will be no doubts about their credibility.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone chatted and drank almost, so they decided to leave.

"I'll go back with Wanxiu, Du He, you and your eldest grandson go back to them."

"Fang Yuan, you don't seem to have brought any followers, come back with me and Wanxiu."

Du Miaoyan said.

She wanted to ask Princess Xiangcheng about something.

Fang Yuan can listen to this matter, but Chang Sun Chong and others cannot.

And Du Miaoyan was also worried about Fang Yuan's safety, and wanted to escort Fang Yuan back.

"Right on my mind."

Fang Yuan nodded and said.

He didn't bring Xue Bowu over tonight because he didn't know how long the drink would last.

And with Du Miaoyan and others around, he can let Du Miaoyan and others escort him back,
"Then you all pay attention to safety."

Du He should be, staggered back with Chang Sun Chong and others.

Qin Huaiyu was completely drunk, and only with the help of several people was he able to go back.

After they left, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan got into Princess Xiangcheng's chariot.

As a princess, her chariot is more luxurious than that of Du Miaoyan and others, and the scale is more than a little bigger.

"Wanxiu, what happened?"

Du Miaoyan asked in a deep voice.

She thought, or because of that.

That knife made Xiao Rui no longer a man.

Du Miaoyan was curious now, how could Xiao Rui bear it and not take revenge?

"Xiao Rui may be crazy."

"When I went out, I saw him torturing a little maid, and I had a few words with him, and I was punched by him unintentionally."

"Afterwards he apologized to me in trepidation. I thought about it and didn't pursue him. After all, I was sorry for him."

Princess Xiangcheng explained.

In fact, she hadn't seen Xiao Rui for several days.

Today I accidentally saw Xiao Rui, and saw that he was a little mentally disturbed and tortured the little maid.

He accidentally hurt him when he stepped forward to stop it, it wasn't serious, and he knelt down to apologize afterwards.

Thinking of Xiao Yu being imprisoned for rebellion, and Xiao Rui being incompetent, Princess Xiangcheng did not pursue her.

"That"

Du Miaoyan opened her mouth, but finally closed it again.

What she wanted to make some suggestions was aimed at Xiao Rui.

But after thinking about it, she was also the one who caused Xiao Rui to become what he is now.

And Xiao Rui is so pitiful now, so he didn't say anything.

"Why don't you drive him out of the princess mansion?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Du Miaoyan couldn't bear it, but he wouldn't be polite.

Keeping Xiao Rui would be a disaster sooner or later, and I was worried that he would put a stab in the back.

And Fang Yuan is very suspicious of Xiao Yu's assassination of Li Shimin, Xiao Rui should know about it.

"That can't be, we are a legitimate couple after all."

"Even if I don't want that face, my father can't afford to lose that face."

Princess Xiangcheng stared at Fang Yuan sadly.

She didn't want to marry Xiao Rui from the very beginning.

But there is no way, and now the whole city knows it.

If Xiao Rui was kicked out of the princess mansion, what would outsiders think of her, and what would they think of the emperor?
As long as Xiao Rui is still the son-in-law, he has the right to live in the princess mansion for a day.

"Then you have to pay attention to safety."

"I always feel that Xiao Rui is a ticking time bomb."

Fang Yuan sighed in his heart, understood that it was not easy, so he could only remind him.

"What's a ticking time bomb?"

Princess Xiangcheng asked puzzledly.

Du Miaoyan on the side also looked at Fang Yuan puzzled.

"It's a danger that could erupt at any time."

Fang Yuan explained.

Xiao Rui was able to bear even being beaten to death, which shows that he is deeply scheming.

A person with such a deep scheming mind is like a poisonous snake, who may be attacked from behind at any time.

The point is that he may be a member of Bishamon, and it is very likely that he will unite with Bishamon to deal a fatal blow to himself and others.

"Don't worry, I have the final say on the Princess Mansion, he won't be able to turn the tide."

Princess Xiangcheng smiled reassuringly.

In the princess mansion, the princess is in power, and the son-in-law is just a bride.

In the mansion, Princess Xiangcheng gave power to Xiao Rui, so Xiao Rui will have power.

If the relationship between Princess Xiangcheng and Xiao Rui is not good, then it is a trivial matter to abuse Xiao Rui.

"Okay, then you pay attention to safety."

Fang Yuan sighed in his heart, no longer persuading.

Princess Xiangcheng is a smart person, so she doesn't need to interfere too much.

"Do not worry."

Princess Xiangcheng smiled and said.

However, the gaze towards Fang Yuan is still full of sorrow.

If it wasn't for Du Miaoyan being here, Princess Xiangcheng might have thrown herself into Fang Yuan's arms to complain.

Not long after, the chariot returned to the gate of Fangfu.

"By the way, I'm going to a nearby county tomorrow to see where a factory is suitable for building. Is any of you free to join us?"

Fang Yuan asked before getting off the car.

Although he is an order of Chang'an, he is not familiar with Chang'an County and its surroundings.

It would be much more convenient if Du Miaoyan or Princess Xiangcheng could accompany her.

"I'm free tomorrow, I'll accompany you tomorrow."

Du Miaoyan spoke first.

She happened to have something important to talk to Fang Yuan alone.

"I'm not free tomorrow, you and Miao Yan can go."

Princess Xiangcheng wanted to say that she was free.

But after hearing what Du Miaoyan said, she changed her mind.

She can't blatantly destroy the relationship between Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan.

The lover relationship with Fang Yuan only exists underground and will not be revealed in front of everyone.

"That's fine, Miao Yan, you can find me at the county government office in your free time tomorrow."

"I'm getting out of the car. Be careful on the way back."

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

Finally get out of the car and go back to the mansion.

The chariot continued to move forward, only Du Miaoyan and Princess Xiangcheng were left in the chariot.

After Fang Yuan was not here, the two talked a lot more intimately, and they no longer had any scruples.

The next day, Fang Yuan first went to the county office to work, and waited for Du Miaoyan to come when he was free.

But Du Miaoyan hasn't arrived yet, Su Ziqing from yesterday arrived again.

"Fang Ling, this is the plan that the little girl thought up last night, please read it over."

Su Ziqing bowed to Fang Yuan, said with a smile.

She was still wearing purple, but it was more charming than yesterday.

It was already summer at this time, and the clothes were relatively thin and sparse.

When Su Ziqing submitted the plan to Fang Yuan, her body leaned forward slightly.

Despite being covered by long black hair, Fang Yuan can still see the unfathomable scenery.

"Miss Su is really hardworking."

Fang Yuan took a few more glances before accepting the other party's plan.

It has to be said that women with fair skin are especially attractive to men.

Especially a woman with a faint smell of rouge on her body.

"Should be."

"The little girl explained to Fang Ling."

Su Ziqing smiled and said.

She was close to Fang Yuan, very close.

But they kept a distance from Fang Yuan that they didn't touch.

It is said that she did this on purpose, but it doesn't look like she did it on purpose.

Fang Yuan kept silent, and was not interested in deliberately taking advantage, listening to her explanation and analysis of the plan.

"That's right, let's leave the plan."

"I ordered the county government to discuss it, and if there is no problem, I will let you know."

Fang Yuan sounds good.

But in the end it is the lack of experience in holding imperial examinations.

So Fang Yuan didn't make a decision, let Zheng Mingzhu and the others discuss it before making a decision.

"Fang Ling won't be embarrassing the little girl?"

"Can't you decide this little thing yourself?"

Su Ziqing was taken aback for a moment, then said flatteringly.

Her voice was so sweet that it was impossible not to say yes.

"No, follow the process."

Fang Yuan shook his head and said.

It's not that he hasn't eaten pork.

Princess Xiangcheng, as the second most beautiful woman, once tasted Fangze.

And how could it be because of the seductive voice of the third beauty?
"Fang Ling, the little girl stayed up late last night to come up with a plan."

Su Ziqing's voice is more pleasant, closer to Fang Yuan.

But it is still the same as before, feeling that it is about to touch, but still refuses.

Fang Yuan smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but a mocking voice came from the direction of the door.

"It's just staying up all night, so why not stay up a few more nights?"

Du Miaoyan walked in, looking at Su Ziqing with hostility.

Especially when she saw that Su Ziqing was about to stick to Fang Yuan's body, she felt jealous.

This woman is just hateful. I didn't like her very much when I was a child, and I didn't like her even more when I grew up.

Today's Du Miaoyan is wearing a tight-fitting dress, showing her figure without a doubt, she is slimmer and more beautiful than Su Ziqing.

"Sister Miaoyan is really cruel, and she doesn't know how to feel sorry for her sister."

Su Ziqing stood up straight and looked at Du Miaoyan who was walking over with a smile.

She and Du Miaoyan are several years apart, but it doesn't prevent her from fighting openly and secretly with Du Miaoyan.

"I have a younger sister named Miao Yun, not Su Ziqing."

Du Miaoyan had already walked in front of Su Ziqing, her jade hand extended towards Su Ziqing's.

"Sister Miaoyan, what are you going to do?"

Su Ziqing's hand immediately avoided Du Miaoyan's, and she said with a vigilant face.

"I just want you to go away."

Du Miaoyan said coldly.

She missed Su Ziqing's hand, so she pushed Su Ziqing away from Fang Yuan with her backhand.

"Go away?!"

Su Ziqing stepped aside, her beautiful eyes said in surprise.

She looked at Du Miaoyan, then at Fang Yuan, seemed to understand.

"Miss Su, you go back first."

"Whether the plan is approved or not, I will let you know."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

At the same time, I was surprised by Su Ziqing's reaction.

He knew Du Miaoyan's martial arts, perhaps even better than Xue Bowu.

But even so, when Du Miaoyan made a move just now, Su Ziqing could easily dodge it.

What Du Miaoyan told herself yesterday was indeed correct, Su Ziqing is a very powerful master.

"Okay, the little girl will leave first."

Su Ziqing pondered for a moment, then said with a sweet smile.

She glanced at Du Miaoyan, and decided to go back and inquire about the relationship between Du Miaoyan and Fang Yuan.

"Miao Yan, why do you feel that you are not calm when facing her?"

Fang Yuan asked curiously.

"You have no idea how nasty that guy is."

"She was nothing when she was a child. It's just that she is hateful anyway."

Du Miaoyan got angry when she said it.

He wanted to complain to Fang Yuan, but he was so ashamed that he couldn't say it just now.

In the end, I was embarrassed to say, and urged Fang Yuan to find a place to build a factory now.

"Well then, let's go."

Fang Yuan stopped asking, got up and went out with Du Miaoyan.

The yamen servants have prepared two steeds, and Fang Yuan and the two will ride away.

Soon, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan left the city and ran towards Xinfeng County which is closest to Chang'an City.

"Fang Yuan, why don't you build a factory in Chang'an County?"

Du Miaoyan asked while asking.

They are not in a hurry, so the two horses gallop abreast, and the speed does not affect the conversation.

"The land price in Chang'an City is high, and the cost of opening a factory is too high."

Fang Yuan explained.

Although he is the order of Chang'an, this is the city of emperors.

A Mohist research institute can draw land at will, but other factories cannot.

Because there is only one Mohist research institute, but there are many factories, and the land area is much larger than the Mohist research institute.

Another important point is labor and price issues.

The people who settled in Chang'an City certainly did not lack that little wages, and the people who made a living in Chang'an City might not look down on that little money.

Then there are not many people left, and it is not easy to recruit skilled and capable workers when recruiting.

With so many problems, it's better to change the place, close to Chang'an City, anyway, no one would dare to target them too much.

"Indeed."

Du Miaoyan nodded.

Afterwards, the two went straight to Xinfeng County, Huayin County, Lantian County and several other places for investigation.

After deciding on several places and looking at a few mountains, the two of them were a little tired, so they stopped checking, switched modes, and went for a walk holding hands like a young couple.

"Fang Yuan, I have something to say but I'm a little embarrassed to say it."

Du Miaoyan blushed, but her eyes showed tension and worry.

"Let's be honest, we have nothing to hide between us."

Fang Yuan raised the hand holding Du Miaoyan's jade hand, and said with a smile.

"My father hopes that we can get married as soon as possible."

"He wanted to see us get married before leaving."

Du Miaoyan blushed, her expression was tense and gloomy.

The 'going' she said meant that life was leaving.

Du Ruhui wanted to see his eldest daughter's family before he died.

In fact, there is another point, there are other worries in the hearts of Du Ruhui and others in the Du family.

That is after Du Ruhui's death, the Du family's status in the court plummeted, will Fang Yuan marry her then?
"marry."

Fang Yuan murmured, his eyes were complicated.

Before I knew it, was I so close to getting married?
Once upon a time, I didn't expect to be able to get married, and I felt that it would be good to be alone forever.

"Aren't you willing to marry me?"

The sadness on Du Miaoyan's face became heavier.

Could it be that Fang Yuan really only valued his father's status in the imperial court?
"It's not that I don't want to, but it's complicated and sighing."

"I never thought about getting married before, thinking that getting married was very far away for me."

Fang Yuan looked at the clouds in the distance and sighed.

As a time traveler, Fang Yuan feels uneasy about this world, he doesn't feel like home.

Getting married means getting married, and settling down in this aristocratic family touched the deepest string in Fang Yuan's heart, so that he was a little uneasy.

"My dad said he didn't have much time."

Du Miaoyan lowered her head and whispered.

She felt a little cold in her hands and feet, and a little uncomfortable in her heart.

If her father wasn't even more unwell, she wouldn't have brought it up to Fang Yuan.

As for Fang Yuan's meaning, she couldn't tell if it was perfunctory, or if she really felt it was complicated.

"Then let your father ask someone to pick a date."

Fang Yuan's gaze is still on the clouds in the sky, but it is no longer blurred and has become firm.

I have feelings for Du Miaoyan, and Du Miaoyan treats me too well, and Du Ruhui has helped me a lot.

No matter from which point of view, Du Miaoyan is very suitable to be his wife.

At the age of 26, it's time to start a family in this aristocratic family, and fulfill Du Ruhui's dying wish by the way.

"What, what?"

Du Miaoyan's delicate body trembled, and she froze in the distance.

"Let Uncle Du choose a date to get married."

Seeing Du Miaoyan stop, Fang Yuan also stopped and looked at her.

"You, are you willing to marry me?!"

Du Miaoyan opened her eyes wide and said in surprise.

"You are gentle and charming, you are excellent at both books and swords, you protect me well, being able to marry you is a huge advantage for me, Fang Yuan."

Fang Yuan said seriously.

"Really, really?"

Du Miaoyan's voice trembled a little.

Her face turned red quickly, right up to her neck.

"real."

"The sky and the earth are the evidence, the sun and the moon are the mirror!"

Fang Yuan approached Du Miaoyan, and put his arms around her waist.

"I, my father may leave soon, and the Du family will plummet, which will hardly help your career."

Du Miaoyan's face turned redder, but there was worry in her eyes.

Men put their career first, would Fang Yuan refuse to marry him because he didn't have any help?
"Are you worried about this?"

"Although I, Fang Yuan, have been helped by many nobles here, but my ability is not bad, right?"

Fang Yuan couldn't help being laughed angrily.

It is a good thing to have noble people to help, Fang Yuan is grateful.

But along the way, even if there is no noble person, Fang Yuan can go smoothly.

The 26-year-old Zhengwupin, as long as he doesn't make major mistakes, can survive to be an extremely human minister.

"Yeah, I think you are the best!"

Du Miaoyan immediately felt relieved.

The worries of many days can finally be let go.

Fang Yuan loves himself, not his background.

Thinking of this, Du Miaoyan felt very happy, she did not misunderstand the person.

"is it?"

"Then why don't we stamp it while there's no one around?"

Fang Yuan laughed.

His arms around Du Miaoyan were tighter, the distance between the two was closer, Fang Yuan's breath could hit her face.

At first, Du Miaoyan didn't understand what Fang Yuan said about stamping, but she understood when she looked at Fang Yuan's eyes, her heart beat faster, and there was vague expectation.

Seeing that Du Miaoyan did not resist, Fang Yuan smiled knowingly, and was preparing for the next move.

But at this moment, the sound of hurried sprinting came from the official road not far away, accompanied by the scolding of the driver.

The two looked over subconsciously, and saw a messenger cavalry rushing towards Chang'an City.

The imperial court is now at war with the East Turks, and it should be an emergency battle report from the East Turks.

The cavalry disappeared quickly, but it had already broken the atmosphere between Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan.

"There may be an emergency battle report."

"Should we go back to Chang'an City to hear what's going on?"

Du Miaoyan blushed and lowered her head, secretly cursing that the cavalryman appeared at the wrong time.

There was regret in his heart, but the next moment, Fang Yuan said:

"Don't be in a hurry, we'll go back after finishing the chapter."

(End of this chapter)
