Chapter 113 Substitution
I have seen the aristocrats' miserable life in film and television dramas before, but Yun Xiao never expected it to be such a miserable life...
The maid with her with her can do such things. What is even more difficult to understand is that this is actually a common phenomenon. Moreover, Nangong did not shy away from doing it, and even dared to talk about Wang Shi and Xiaoqing in front of Caiyun. It proved that even Liu Qi turned a blind eye to such things.
This is definitely a paradise for men. If you knew that you would be treated like this, Yun Xiao believed that he could make a few rounds around Chang'an i Street with his request.
"It's comfortable. Actually, it's nothing like Huan Niang and Ellis. They are just ways to relieve loneliness between women. Brother Xiao, you don't have to worry."
Nangong said it very easily, as if this matter was not a problem in her eyes.
Indeed, not only is the royal princess. In the big man, as long as the better family, they will get a dowry girl. Some are even the bride's sisters. The two girls and one husband together are nothing in this era. Instead, the stories of Ehuang and Niaoying are popular and have become a model textbook for people to educate the next generation.
Yun Xiao was a little helpless. Such a social atmosphere could not be changed by himself. What's more, Yun Xiao also liked such a social atmosphere. Which man would not like such a trend? Yun Xiao decided to forgive Huan Niang and Elis, and thought about it and it seemed that he was not considered green.
It was just that Luan Ling's affairs made him a little uneasy. Yan Xian was a indifferent person, and Luan Ling had always been in charge of the business of the Yun family. Moreover, the Yan family was obsessed with Confucian teachings, and except for the mother-in-law who came to serve the confinement period, they did not interfere in the internal affairs of the Yun family. Even if Yan Qing wanted to teach, he would not go to the son-in-law's door even if he had nothing to do, let alone meet his daughter.
The Luan family is different. The moral qualities of the underworld are definitely not as good as those of the Confucian successors. Luan Ling is even more a woman who believes in power. As long as she looks at her strength in front of Ellis, you can guess Luan Ling's dominance in the Yun family.
We must never let such a thing continue. The things that the Thousand Mile Dike is destroyed inside the ant hole are the most careless, even for some seemingly small things.
"Nangong, are you interested in managing a family?"
Yun Xiao patted Nangong's smooth spine and said thinking.
"Maintain the house? What do you want to do? Should I let me manage the housekeeper? Haven't these things been managed by the eldest lady?"
Nangong's head rested on Yun Xiao's chest, and his tender and white hands kept drawing circles on it.
"Yes, I just want you to manage the housekeeper. How about it? Can you manage the Yun family's big business?"
"Don't you think the princess is eating and drinking in the palace for free? Every princess of the right age has to learn to manage the family and keep the business. Look at so many great princesses. After refining people, they will not have a prosperous family and have no foundation to do it? The mother even acted in the harem for many years and taught me a lot of things in private. At the beginning, I was still thinking that it was a pity that I was not a big wife and could not manage the family's money."
Nangong sat up excitedly, revealing his infinitely beautiful upper body.
"Yan Xian has a indifferent temperament. And she doesn't like to deal with these trivial matters about money. Luan Ling is too domineering, and you know the foundation of the Luan family in Shandong. I'm afraid that something will happen if her housekeeper takes care of her for a long time.
I will feel much more at ease when you come to the housekeeper. Your identity makes Luan Ling dare not disrespect you. If someone else takes care of you, she will not cry, make a fuss and hang herself. If you are replaced by you, she will not dare to speak out."
"Many of the Yun family's industries are jointly organized with the Royal Family. Are you afraid that I will send all the money from your Yun family to the inner palace?"
Nangong said mischievously.
"Hahaha, I'm afraid of anything but this one."
Yun Xiao remembered a joke he heard in later generations and said with a laugh.
"Why aren't you afraid? Why are you so happy? Tell me about it."
Nangong shook Yun Xiao's arm and used his unique skills to act coquettishly**.
"A long time ago, a man was unable to repay the debt because he borrowed it. He promised the creditor to pay the debt with his daughter, and the girl was beautiful. The creditor thought about it and agreed.
My daughter was unwilling to do so, but was forced to send her into the sedan chair by her father. On the night of the bridal chamber, she resisted desperately, and the creditor said that your father owed me money and used you to pay the debt. If you don’t follow me, you will ask your father to pay back the money. My daughter cried and committed herself to the creditor.
When I woke up the next morning, my daughter asked her husband softly. How much money did my father owe you? Her husband replied, "You have paid off your debts after you get married, why do you still ask?"
My daughter said that's not OK, our family's money cannot be cheaper than that old thing."
After Yun Xiao finished speaking, he looked at Nangong Xiao. Nangong did not react at first. After he reacted, he punched Yun Xiao and kicked him.
"Bad guy, you're paying off your debt."
Hahaha... Yun Xiao smiled happily, hoping that Nangong was really good at managing family affairs as she said. Otherwise, he would not just need to find someone to manage the increasingly large Yun family.
Yun Xiao hugged Nangong, who was acting coquettishly and kissed him hard. Leaving the family affairs to Nangong was also reassuring Liu Qi. After all, his family's assets are in the hands of his daughter, which to some extent was considered a pledge to the royal family. I hope this can reduce some of Liu Qi's suspicion and cause less trouble for himself in the future.
Liu An came to say goodbye early in the morning. A vassal king like him was the target of the court's focus on surveillance. In Chang'an, the deadline must not be exceeded, otherwise it would be considered a serious violation of the system and would be punished.
Little Loli Liu Ling is wearing a moon-white robe today and has grown into a beauty at the age of four or five. No wonder she will be a character who will harm the country and the people in the future, but at this time she is just a yellow-haired girl with dry hair.
"The Lone King thanked the Lord Yun for the hospitality and gave him the meaning of the tofu recipe. The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows forever. If there is a chance in the future, the love of the Lord Yun came to Huainan and Liu An would definitely enter the friendship of the landlords."
He is worthy of being a knowledgeable prince, much better than that old bastard Liu Ji. Look at his knowledge and then look at Liu Ji. Yun Xiao’s deep feelings are all descendants of the Liu family. Why is the gap between being a human being so big?
After seeing off Liu An, Yun Xiao summoned the family manager and the generals. Nangong was dressed in formal clothes and stood dignifiedly in Yun Xiao's plan. He looked like a big wife of the Yun family. The manager and the generals bowed to Yun Xiao and Nangong one after another.
"From now on, the affairs of the family will be managed by Princess Nangong. You must report to the princess for big and small matters."
Many managers didn't know the relationship between Nangong and Yun Xiao, and they all looked at Nangong in surprise. However, under the glance of Nangong's eyes, they quickly lowered their heads.
Yun Xiao threw the stupid managers to Nangong and took the generals to the village warriors' residence. So that Luan Ling would come to him to roll and splash, Yun Xiao believed that she could do such a thing. It would be better to hide in advance. After three or five days, I believe that Nangong would definitely cure her.
After all, the underworld has always been afraid of the government. No matter how powerful the underworld is, it will turn into June snowflakes in front of the powerful state machine. If Luan Ling goes to Nangong to argue, she will probably be repaired very ugly.
After half a year of training, the village heroes' already dark skin became even darker. From a distance, they looked like a group of African visitors. Those village heroes who were retained and did not retire became their instructors.
The training of the local tyrants is very interesting because the number of people is much higher than the previous group. This time, Yun Xiao trained the transformation of the military formation.
In the era of cold weapons, whether it is marching or fighting, the formation has a very obvious effect, but the recruits temporarily recruited can only serve as heads. It is difficult to barely stand in a neat manner. We cannot expect them to be trained into offensive and defensive formations.
The Yun family's hometown courage is one of the few professional troops of the Han Dynasty, and its equipment level is even better. Although the training time is short, the combat effectiveness of these guys is still good. Yun Xiao personally picked out a hundred people and asked them to complete the demonstration of cavalry charges, iron-tied crossbows, bows and arrows shooting moving targets, saber-cutting and other projects.
The result made Yun Xiao very satisfied. Although he could not meet the level of the previous group of village warriors, he was at least much better than the so-called iron-armored cavalry led by Yang Sheng.
"The war in the north is not over yet, you must step up your training. The Great Huns Khan will never give up like this. It is summer and it is the season for them to graz. In winter, it is hard to say that they will not come to disturb the border again."
Yun Xiao waved his horse whip and explained to the generals around him.
"The last time they turned Yuyang, Zhuo County was stronger. I'm afraid they won't attack there again this year, because there was not much recovery in both population and wealth. As for Hetao, they would not go again. The Great Wall built by General Li Guang is very strong.
I heard that it has extended forward for more than ten miles in the past six months, and the Great Chanyu would not touch that brow. Now there is only the midline, and the defense of Mayi and other places is the weakness. I see that the next step, the Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu will definitely attack Mayi."
Canghu pointed to the map on the wall and expressed his opinion.
"I agree with Cang Hu's opinion. If the Huns do not attack, they will be fine. If they attack, they will definitely break through in the middle and attack Mayi. After all, Mayi is a major frontier, with a large population and a developed business. Moreover, Mayi City has been broken by the Huns before. Although the city wall has been repaired in the past two years, it is difficult to resist the attack of the Huns."
Dai Yu came back from Li Guang and knew a little bit about the situation along the way.
I remembered that I had just escaped from the grassland and arrived in Mayi. Yun Xiao couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
"Yes, I have been to Mayi City. The city defense is indeed unsolid and there are large salt ponds there. Because of the trafficking of salt, Mayi is already quite rich. If the Great Shanyu did not advance, he would definitely choose to attack Mayi.
But I doubt whether the Huns can still have the strength to attack Mayi this winter."
