Chapter 244: The Beauty Scheme
After the banquet was dispersed, in Xiao Feng's study, the four giants of the Xiao family all gathered together, Xiao Feng, Xiao Fu and Xiao Shan were all drinking hangover tea, Xiao Yao looked at them with contempt on the side: If you can't drink it, don't drink it, just such a degree of wine has already been drunk like this, if I improve the brewing process and make these casual distilled spirits of liquor, I will vomit you to death when the time comes!
Xiao Shan, who even drank a few cups of hangover tea, was still excited, and laughed at Xiao Yao: "Twelve, you will be the concubine of the Zhou Kingdom in the future, and now our Xiao family will really be glorious and glorious, haha!" I heard that the emperor went to the ministers of Zhou to propose marriage for the crown prince, but none of the ministers of Zhou were willing to marry, and now the princess of Yuwen is the princess of Zhou! ”
Xiao Feng, who had previously expressed his agreement with this family business, immediately became excited when he heard Xiao Shan's words, and looked at Xiao Yao with great excitement and relief, and his heart blossomed: Yes, this is a major event for the glory of the ancestors! Although he is now the royal family of the Liang Kingdom, the current Liang Kingdom is not the Liang Kingdom of the year, and Yu Wenmin is the authentic princess of the Zhou Kingdom, if Xiao Yao marries this princess of the Zhou Kingdom, then even the Liang Emperor will respect the Xiao family for three points!
But Xiao Fu's face is now cloudy, and he felt happy at first, because if the Xiao family and the Zhou State were connected through marriage, then he was not above 10,000 people under one person in the court of Liang State? And when the time comes, Liang will send troops to the east to conquer Chen, and I believe that Zhou will definitely help!
But when I thought about it, I thought that this big marriage had fallen on the head of my younger brother, and his own brother, Xiao Tong, the son of his son, could only watch from the side, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour again.
"Do you really think there's going to be such a big pie falling down from above? Wake up, don't think it's so beautiful! Xiao Yao rolled his eyes, poured cold water on the three of them, and said worriedly: "Don't you think there is a problem here?" ”
"What's the problem? When I looked at this Yuwen Shizi's family business, he looked very serious, it didn't look like a joke at all, and he didn't drink much at the time, so it couldn't be drunk! Xiao Shan didn't react, still stupid.
"Of course he's not drunk, he can't get drunk if you're drunk, Yu Wenzhi is more sober than you!" Xiao Yao said with contempt for Xiao Shan, he was never polite to his own brother, and then said to Xiao Feng and Xiao Fu: "Father, brother, do you remember when you first entered the table, Yu Wenzhi suddenly lost his temper with me, right?" ”
The two of them saw Xiao Yao's serious face, and knew that although Xiao Yao was young, he was very experienced in doing things, and he saw problems more thoroughly than them, so they immediately became serious and carefully recalled the scene at the banquet.
"At first, Yu Wenzhi was angry with me, a child who was only thirteen years old, what age is too old to be worthy of attending the same banquet with him, but Brother Tong is not much older than me, why did he keep targeting me at that time? With a person as powerful as him, he has been bullying me as a child, isn't it too much? Just kick me out for a, why does he humiliate me? And listening to his tone at the time, he was very resentful of me! I think this should be Yu Wenzhi wanting to give me a dismissal, it may be related to the previous father-in-law Liu, humiliating me in public, and trying to save face for that father-in-law Liu! Xiao Yao guessed.
After listening to Xiao Yao's analysis, the three of them couldn't help frowning, and a trace of uneasiness appeared in their hearts, if this matter is just like Xiao Yao's guess, then this Yuwenzhi is really a bit of a bad person, he is the envoy of Zhou State, and he is the son of Zhou Guoquan's minister Yuwenhu!
"If this Yu Wenzhi came to our Xiao family to avenge that Duke Liu, then why did he propose a marriage later? And it's for the princess of their Zhou Kingdom! Xiao Shan asked puzzled.
"It's all Yu Wenzhi is more sober than you! Have you noticed that his attitude towards me has suddenly changed, and he apologized to me again and again, that is, after the eldest brother explained to me that the glass treasures were made by me! Xiao Yao sneered.
"His goal is the glazed treasure!" The three of them said in unison.
"Yes, when Yu Wenzhi knew that the glass treasures were made by me, did his attitude towards me change drastically? He also calls me Brother Xiao, with his status, this figure is too low, right? So, I'm sure Yu Wenzhi came with a purpose tonight, and it's definitely related to glass treasures! Xiao Yao analyzed.
"Well, listening to your analysis, it seems that this is really the case. Since the two countries exchanged envoys between Liang and Zhou, it was really the first time that someone of such a noble status as Yu Wenzhi was sent to Liang State like this time! If it weren't for some important purpose, Zhou Guo could just send a minister over! Xiao Fu also saw some clues.
"If the real purpose of this Yu Wenzhi's visit to Gangneung this time is for the glazed treasures, then this matter is a bit tricky! Since our Xiao family has made this peerless glass treasure, all countries in the next countries are eyeing our Xiao family, in Jiangling, if I didn't still have the identity of being the emperor's uncle, the emperor also strengthened the protection of our Xiao family, plus the twelve pairs of those craftsmen use new management methods, our iron workshop may have already sneaked in! Xiao Feng also became worried, the excitement just now had long since disappeared.
"Therefore, this time Yu Wenzhi came to Jiangling, definitely for the sake of glass treasures, and today he refused the emperor's palace banquet in the palace for him, but came to our Xiao family to participate in the family banquet, and it is estimated that he also came to the Xiao family to explore the situation! So Yu Wenzhi didn't know that the glass treasures were made by me, so he was angry with me, all kinds of humiliation of me, and later when he knew that the glass treasures were made by me, he immediately apologized to me, and also proposed marriage, his goal is the glass treasures! The more Xiao Yao thought about it, the more he saw it thoroughly.
"No wonder this Yuwenzhi proposed the marriage of the princess and the twelve, and even the royal family of the Zhou Kingdom was willing to move out, it turned out to be for the glass treasures!" Xiao Shan finally figured it out.
"So, if we agree to Yu Wenzhi's marriage, maybe he will ask us to give them the recipe of the glass treasure as a dowry for the princess!" Xiao Fu hit the nail on the head.
"Even Yu Wenzhi asked that in this marriage, I was in the form of joining the Zhou Kingdom, and then took me to the Zhou Kingdom, I believe you don't dare to object, and you don't have the ability to object, right?" Xiao Yao added.
Xiao Feng and the three of them were all frightened at the same time, their eyes widened, and they gasped!
"If that's the case, then Yu Wenzhi's beauty trick is really too vicious!" Xiao Feng's eyes were full of murderous anger, you must know that the glazed treasures are now the cash cow of the Xiao family, the lifeblood of Xiao Feng, and although Xiao Yao is a concubine, he is also his own son, how can he tolerate his son entering the Zhou Kingdom!
"But after two years, Yu Wenzhi will still come to the door, just now I saw that Yu Wenzhi looked determined to win, if we directly reject this marriage at that time, I am afraid that we will offend Zhou Guo, this matter is not easy to deal with!" The more Xiao Fu thought about it, the more frightened he became.
"No matter what, the recipe for the Twelve and Glazed Treasures, we can't hand it over to Zhou Guo!" Xiao Feng slapped the table fiercely, knocked over the teacups, and said angrily!
"That's right, this time we must not let Yu Wenzhi's tricks succeed, we have to think of a countermeasure for these two! During this time, Xiaoshan has to send more manpower patrols around the ironworks, and no strangers can approach! And twelve, you have to be more careful yourself, so you don't have to show up during this time! Xiao Fu instructed the two of them.
"Don't worry, big brother, I will be hearted, and I will double the manpower to protect the ironworks and the twelve." This time the stakes were very high, and Xiao Shan also became serious.
Xiao Yao didn't make a sound, but he was very irritable in his heart: This Yuwenzhi is not easy to deal with, it seems that this level is not easy to pass! , Yu Wenzhi will not give up if he does not achieve his goal, it seems that I have to make more preparations in case he suddenly attacks!
Xiao Yao now suddenly had the urge to take out the musket and directly collapse Yu Wenzhi! Of course, this is just a mess in his heart, if he really kills Yu Wenzhi in Jiangling, this is simply self-destruction, and he wants to destroy the country! After all, it was Yu Wenzhi's father Yu Wenhu who led his troops to break through Jiangling, and Xiao Yi established the Liang State when the curtain was washed in blood, and then let Xiao Gui's father become the emperor of the Liang State, if Yu Wenzhi died in Jiangling, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving a reason for Zhou to destroy Liang State!
。。。。。。
The most luxurious room in the Ruyi Building, Yu Wenzhi is also discussing with Liu Gonggong, and now the entire Ruyi Building has been covered by Yu Wenzhi, and the entire street is guarded by the soldiers of the Zhou State.
"Sure enough, people can't look good, I really can't imagine that this Xiao, at his age, can actually understand the recipe for the long-lost glass treasures, so that such exquisite glass treasures can reappear in the world, and he is also so endowed in steelmaking and cast iron, he is really like a baby in the Xiao family, no wonder he dares to humiliate me so much, even Xiao Fu can't suppress him!" Gonggong Liu said fiercely.
"Haha, I didn't expect that the Xiao family's qi has not yet dissipated, and now there is such a person who can't be talked about! This Xiao knows Ruci skills, and he must be brought back to the Zhou Kingdom! With glazed treasures, it is equivalent to having countless money, coupled with his ability to make iron and steel, to create all kinds of sharp swords for our Great Zhou army, and then our Great Zhou Kingdom will be just around the corner! Yu Wenzhi's eyes lit up with excitement.
"I didn't expect to come to Jiangling this time and go to the Xiao family to have such a rich harvest, I just wanted to go to the Xiao family to find out about the situation of the glass treasures, and give them a dismount to help you get back face and ask for some interest, but I accidentally found Xiao's treasure! Ha ha! "The happier Yuwenzhi became.
"However, is the prince really going to let the princess marry this son? The princess has such a noble status, wouldn't it be cheaper for this son of the Xiao family! And seeing that the princess is not very willing to marry this Xiao! "Father-in-law Liu still hates Xiao Yao to the core!
"If the Xiao family is willing to honestly agree to our marriage this time, hand over Xiao, and let my sister marry him, it is not impossible, after all, the glass treasures are so valuable, without the name of the princess, I am afraid that I will not be able to use the formula as a dowry! And now the enemy of the Great Zhou is still the Qi State, and Jiangling still needs the surname Xiao to help us manage it, and it is not good to tear the skin with the Xiao family now, so we still have to give them a little sweetness to taste first! "Yu Wenzhi didn't care about whether Yu Wenmin agreed to this family affair at all, after all, he was not his own sister.
"When the time comes, I will also let Xiao enter the Zhou Kingdom as a concubine, and when he arrives on our territory, I don't want him to do whatever he wants! And this is for Liang Guoxiao's family, there is also a hostage effect! Yu Wenzhi said coldly.
"Hostages? Could it be that the Xiao family still dares to be unfavorable to our Great Zhou? So we took this Xiao as a hostage, so that Liang Guo didn't dare to act rashly? Gonggong Liu asked puzzled.
"The Liang State has always wanted to borrow the forces of the Zhou State to attack the Chen State in the east, but we only want to use them to contain the Chen State, and now they are just using each other! I believe that Liang Guo also had a grudge against my father for leading troops to break through Jiangling back then, so we Zhou Guo should also be on guard against Liang Guo! When the time comes, this Liang country will be destroyed! Yu Wenzhi analyzed.
"In this way, this beauty plan of the prince can kill three birds with one stone! High! It's so clever! Grandpa Liu immediately gave a thumbs up and slapped his ass!
