Chapter 0384: The Return (4/4)

Tianfu, Liu's family.

Shao Meiyun looked at the current material ledger and rubbed her temples: "The money is getting less and less, what a headache!" ”

Some time ago, because of the heavy firepower suppression of the Northern Coalition Army, the Southern Coalition Army also had to increase its firepower, and the already tight military supplies were even more tight, and because the Western Regions and Guanzhong were both under the military care of Tianfu, this made the Liu family's expenses more and more stretched, and Shao Meiyun now hated to break a penny in half.

"Can anyone give me some money?" Shao Meiyun lay on the table weakly: "It's okay to let me sell myself!" ”

"Cousin, who do you want to sell yourself to?"

A familiar voice came into her ears, and Shao Meiyun looked up and saw Liu Menglong walking in with a funny face.

"Dream Dragon!?" Shao Meiyun was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly stood up: "Why are you back?" ”

"I don't have anything to do with receiving the territory, I'm idle and idle, so I'll come back and see." Liu Menglong smiled slightly: "As soon as I entered the door, I heard that you were going to sell yourself, what's the matter?" Is our Liu family so poor that we want my cousin to sell herself? ”

"Tell me more!" Shao Meiyun rolled her eyes: "It's okay if you beat down the pass, but you have beaten down the Western Regions again, now it's okay, the garrison in the Western Regions, military supplies and so on have been divided a lot, and now our Liu family's economic situation is already very difficult, if it continues like this, the capital chain will be broken in a month at most." ”

"Not really, right?" Liu Menglong was stunned: "Isn't our Liu family quite a lot of industries!" Besides, didn't the Jiang family make a lot of money in the north! What about the money? ”

"All that money was used to buy arms." Shao Meiyun said helplessly: "We fought very smoothly on the front line in Guanzhong, but the front line in the Central Plains and Dongshan was very difficult, and fortunately you knocked down the Central Plains and Dongshan a few days ago, otherwise the situation would have been even worse." ”

"Isn't it?" Liu Menglong was stunned: "Although I know that fighting is money, it won't be overstretched in a month!" ”

"You're talking so lightly, we're fighting a civil war now. The military strength that can be mobilized is limited, and fighting a war is a war, and it must not affect the economic situation in the country or affect the people's livelihood too much, so the funds that can be mobilized will be limited, and the main consumption will be on arms and equipment. In order to start a war with the north before, a large number of foreign arms were purchased halfway, and now the military factories are also working day and night to make weapons, these are all money, and if you fight down a place, the battle line will be lengthened, and the consumption will increase exponentially, and now the military budget that our Liu family can take out can only support for another twenty days, if you can't take Longcheng in twenty days. Then there will be only a temporary truce, and it is difficult to say what will happen after that. ”

"I see." After listening to Shao Meiyun's complaints, Liu Menglong sighed lightly: "Cousin, I didn't expect that managing accounts in the back is more tiring than fighting, and I have worked hard for you." ”

"There's nothing hard or hard, it's all for the future of the Liu family." Shao Meiyun looked at Liu Menglong and said, "Menglong, you are so capable. Can you help my cousin get some money? No banknotes, hard currency such as gold, silver, jewelry, etc. ”

Liu Menglong was speechless: "Do you know that I just got a bunch of hard currency." You will talk to me! ”

"Huh?" Shao Meiyun was stunned for a moment, and then her face was full of ecstasy: "Menglong, you really have it!?" ”

Liu Menglong sighed: "Originally, I wanted to use it for myself, but since our Liu family is so difficult now, I'll give you the things first!" ”

"Giggles, Dream Dragon. Thank you! Shao Meiyun hugged Liu Menglong's face and kissed it: "I really helped my cousin a lot this time." ”

"Uh......" Liu Menglong wiped the saliva on his face: "You should thank me less in the future!" I can't bear your gratitude. ”

Shao Meiyun rolled her eyes: "Stop talking nonsense, take out the things quickly." ”

"What a turn of face and denial of people!" Liu Menglong smiled helplessly and said, "This room is too small, change to a big one." ”

"Small?" Shao Meiyun looked at her office, which had a space of more than 30 square meters: "Is it small?" ”

"I say small is small. That's right......" Liu Menglong said: "Remember to find some experts who understand gold, silver, jewelry and porcelain, and let them estimate the value, I estimate that this pile of things is enough for them to count for a few months." ”

"So much?" Shao Meiyun was taken aback: "Menglong, did you rob the bank of the American emperor?" ”

"I have the ability, but I'm not that boring." Liu Menglong shook his head: "Anyway, you call someone first, and then find a bigger room." ”

"How old?"

"Five hundred square meters is about the same."

"So big!?" Shao Meiyun was taken aback again.

"When you see something, you will know what is so big." Liu Menglong smiled and said, "You contact first, and I'll go see them." ”

"Okay, I'll get to you later."

"Hmm."

In the pavilion in the back garden of Liu's mansion, Xiang Youyou, who had just finished walking, was enjoying the shade with Nalan Ruyue.

At this time, it was April, the temperature in Tianfu was already very high, Xiang Youyou had already put on a loose long dress, her belly was bigger than a month ago, her face was much rounder, and the whole person had a strong pregnancy smell.

"Now Guanzhong, Central Plains, and Dongshan have all been defeated, and when the Central Plains and Dongshan are received, the Long family will only have two territories left, Yanzhao and Manchuria, as long as the eldest brother comes out, these two places will soon be taken down, and the general trend of the Xiang family replacing the Long family is irreversible, I believe that the eldest brother will come back soon." Taking a sip of hot water, Xiang Youyou said expectantly.

Nalan Ruyue nodded lightly: "My brother will definitely be able to come back before Sister Youyou gives birth." ”

"I never doubted that." Xiang Youyou smiled slightly, and then said with some annoyance: "But I've gained a lot of weight recently, ah, pregnancy is really a sinful process, I can't do anything, I can't practice martial arts, I won't give birth in the future." ”

Nalan Ruyue snorted: "It's all for the children!" And this is the eldest brother's first child, of course Sister Youyou can't mess around with her temperament, it would be bad if the dancing knife and gun affected the child. ”

"I know the truth, but it's really uncomfortable!" Xiang Youyou sighed lightly: "I really hope that the eldest brother will come back soon." ”

Nalan Ruyue smiled slightly, and was about to say something, but suddenly opened her eyes, and her breathing became a little shorter: "Brother! ”

"Ruyue, you miss your big brother too!" Hearing Nalan Ruyue's cry, Xiang Youyou smiled and said, "Don't worry! Wait for the big brother to come back. I'll call the shots and let you be the eldest brother's concubine. ”

Nalan Ruyue's face turned red: "Sister Youyou, don't talk nonsense." ”

"Am I talking nonsense?" Xiang Youyou smiled: "Didn't you say it before!" You yourself agreed, why are you embarrassed now? ”

"Sister Youyou, you...... Stop it. ”

"Yo! The face was red. Xiang Youyou looked surprised and funny: "Big brother is not here, what is there to be ashamed of." ”

"Who says I'm not there?" Suddenly, the voice from behind made Xiang Youyou's heart beat hard, and he hurriedly turned around to look. I saw Liu Menglong standing by the pavilion, looking at her with a smile.

"Big brother!" Xiang stood up faintly, his face was full of ecstasy, and he quickly rushed towards Liu Menglong: "Big brother! ”

Liu Menglong was startled, and hurriedly caught Xiang Youyou steadily, using his soft strength to prevent Xiang Youyou's stomach from being impacted, and after gently hugging Xiang Youyou, Liu Menglong breathed a sigh of relief, and then slapped Xiang Youyou's fat buttocks: "You girl." Almost broke our kids. ”

was slapped on the ass by Liu Menglong, Xiang Youyou groaned, and his eyes were moist: "Big brother, I miss you so much." ”

Liu Menglong's eyes softened: "I miss you too." ”

The two hugged each other tightly for a long time, and Xiang Youyou asked, "Big brother, why did you come back at this time?" ”

"Hehe, the reception on the Dongshan side is going well. I don't think it's a big problem, so I'll come back and have a look. "Put Xiang Youyou down. Stroking her belly: "It's only been a month, and our sons are so old." ”

Xiang Youyou's face was full of maternal brilliance, and he smiled slightly: "I don't know if Lu Dao is a boy!" ”

"It's a boy." Liu Menglong said: "I've seen it, it's definitely a boy." ”

"Really?" Xiang Youyou was a little skeptical: "How did the eldest brother see it?" ”

"Hehe, don't care how I see it, anyway, it's a boy in your belly. The future head of the Liu family. Liu Menglong smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Nalan Ruyue, and blinked: "Ruyue, why can't you come?" ”

A trace of shyness flashed on Nalan Ruyue's face, and she said softly: "Big brother and Sister Youyou haven't seen each other for a long time. I don't want to bother you. ”

Xiang Youyou chuckled: "My eldest brother and I haven't seen each other for a long time, but Ruyue is not the same as my eldest brother for a long time!" Come. Xiang Youyou gave up half of Liu Menglong's arms: "Divide half of you." ”

Xiang Youyou, with a charming flush on his face, walked over slowly and snuggled in Liu Menglong's arms.

Liu Menglong hugged Nalan Ruyue's delicate body and said with a smile: "Ruyue, I have limited time at home this time, and when I come back next time, I will definitely give you a make-up wedding." ”

Nalan Ruyue shook her head lightly: "I don't need a wedding, as long as I can be with my brother, I don't care about anything else." ”

"I heard you!" Xiang Youyou said with some emotion: "Ruyue is really good, big brother, next time we come back, we must give Ruyue an unforgettable wedding." ”

"Not really." Nalan Ruyue shook her head again and again: "I really don't care, I don't want to show my face, as long as I can be with my brother, the last time Sister Youyou's wedding was too troublesome, I don't like so many people, if you can, just sit down and have a meal as a family, nothing else is really necessary." ”

The more Nalan Ruyue said this, the more Liu Menglong wanted to give her a happy wedding, but she also knew Nalan Ruyue's personality, she said that she didn't like so many people and was not lying, she said that the wedding was troublesome and not lying, she said that the whole family was sitting together for a meal, but Liu Menglong absolutely couldn't let Nalan Ruyue marry him so coldly.

*************

Last night, my knee hurt to death, and today I woke up in pain during the day, and I took some medicine that used to treat foot pain, and I feel better, but walking is very unfavorable, and the panda doesn't know what's going on? Could it be that the foot pain has shifted to the knee? It's too evil. (To be continued......)
