Listening to Wu Meiniang's words, Princess Gaoyang sighed lightly, hugged Wu Meiniang's thin shoulders, and said softly: "How many times have I told you, what is there to worry about?" Lang Jun's title must be inherited by Da Lang, but with Lang Jun here and me, how can Erlang be just a white body? When you gave birth that day, I made a wish in my heart, as long as this Erlang and Mei Niang can be auspicious, then no matter how much property there is in the family in the future, I will be willing to give half to Erlang...... Lang Jun said, family and talent are prosperous, we are family, you and I can serve Lang Jun wholeheartedly today, regardless of each other, and Lang and Erlang can be brothers in a different day...... With the status of our family, with the talent of Lang Jun, and with my status as a princess, as long as our family works together not to lead our children astray, it will be rich and glorious for generations, and they will rest with the country, which is enough to envy the world. ”

Wu Meiniang's heart was warm, she held Princess Gaoyang's slender hand with her backhand, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, ......"

The eldest woman is not jealous and magnanimous, the gentleman is generous and just, and the elders are loving and kind, what could be more perfect than such a life?

The two held hands and smiled at each other.

Princess Gao Yang blinked and said, "Needless to say, thank you, but Ruo Mei Niang should be truly grateful...... Then you might as well call Sister Sheng to listen. ”

Wu Meiniang smiled brightly: "But the concubine is clearly two years older than His Royal Highness......

"Hehe, but this palace is an eldest woman, shouldn't the concubine call the eldest woman a sister?"

"Your Highness, is this trying to overwhelm people? What about convincing people with virtue? ”

"Oh, it's not called, is it? Believe it or not, this palace will marry Lang Jun back ten or eight concubines to compete with you for favor? ”

"That's really strange, shouldn't it be you, the eldest lady of the main house, who is afraid of the concubine competing for favor?"

……

Xiuyu, Zheng Xiu'er and other maids on the side touched their foreheads with their hands, looking helpless.

Princess Gaoyang, who is delicate in nature, is just a child, and she often has a childish temper, but the martial lady who is not allowed to have eyebrows in the eyes of outsiders will also naively quarrel with His Royal Highness from time to time......

It's unbelievable.

A wife and a concubine were arguing with interest, and a servant came in from outside and said, "Wu Niangzi, His Royal Highness King Wu sent someone to send a letter, saying that he wanted to ask you to open it in person, and then give a reply." ”

As he spoke, he lifted the letter in his hand, took it from Zheng Xiu'er, and handed it to Wu Meiniang.

Wu Meiniang took it with her hand, opened the seal and took out the letterhead, looked at it at a glance, and gently picked up the two graceful beauty.

Princess Gaoyang said curiously: "The letter from the third brother? Why did he write to you? ”

"What are you thinking?" Wu Meiniang heard the doubts in her words, glared at Princess Gaoyang coquettishly, and explained: "It's for the sake of my two uncompetitive brothers......"

Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang brothers were greedy for the projects in the east and west cities and Kunming Lake, and begged Wu Meiniang to borrow a sum of money for them to contract the project in the palace of Hejian County, hoping to make a lot of money. As a result, it rained heavily in Guanzhong for several days, and many of the newly built houses by the Kunming pool collapsed due to cutting corners, including the houses built by the Wu brothers......

Princess Gao Yang listened to the truth and said disapprerovingly: "What is this?" Anyway, the two brothers can be regarded as Lang Jun's brother-in-law, and the three of them won't sell this face, right? Why don't I come forward and intercede with the three? ”

In her mind, a few houses had collapsed, and no one was killed or injured, and Li Ke, the king of Wu, who was in charge of supervising the Kunming Pool project, could completely suppress it.

Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes, and immediately refused: "You can save it, Kunming Pond is a temporary market in the east and west cities, and it will become a house for 'Lecture Wutang' later. ”

The truth is not as serious as she said, if His Royal Highness King Wu really wants to protect anyone, who will be idle and have nothing to do to grasp such a trivial handle to embarrass him?

In order to pit the Wu brothers and let them stop a little, it took a lot of effort before and after, and now that she is done, how can she let Princess Gaoyang come forward to intercede with them?

Princess Gaoyang snorted and said unhappily: "I don't know the hearts of good people, whatever you want, anyway, it's all your brother, what does it matter to me whether you live or die?" ”

It happened that the cry of a baby came from the room next to her, and Princess Gao Yang quickly got up and walked over quickly.

Wu Meiniang sat still, and said to the servant who was waiting for a reply: "You go and reply to the person who sent the letter, just say that the country has national laws and family rules, and everything should be done in accordance with the rules and regulations, so as not to embarrass His Royal Highness King Wu." ”

"Whoa."

The servant said in his heart, how could there be a brother who had an accident but stood by and watched? But he naturally didn't dare to ask, and when he saw that Wu Meiniang had no more instructions, he reflexively walked out and went straight to the front yard to reply.

*****

On the pondside of Kunming, the Wu brothers are as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

The heavy rain not only caused the untamed foundation to be soaked in rainwater and cause it to collapse, but even the cement used to build the wall was washed away by the rain because of too much sand......

Li Ke, the king of Wu, was dressed in a brocade robe and jade belt, standing in front of these collapsed houses with his hands in his hands, his handsome face was already clouded, and it seemed that he could usher in lightning and thunder at any time......

Wu Yuanqing stabbed Wu Yuanshuang, who looked reluctant, but he also knew that he couldn't escape, so he had to step forward and stand behind Li Ke, and said tremblingly: "Your Highness is angry...... It was not due to the lack of supervision under the government, but the rain was too strong in the past few days, and the newly built buildings had not yet dried out, so the collapse was caused...... I heard that many houses in Chang'an City also collapsed due to rain......"

"Shut up!"

Li Keli snorted, turned around and glared angrily, and pointed with a halberd: "You still dare to fight with this king?" Do you think this king is a fool?! Look at the houses you have built, the green bricks are all twisted and crooked, or even half of the defective products, the sealed cement can be buckled off with your hands like slag, and the beams of this house...... Do you use such arm-thick sticks as beams in your house? ”

Wu Yuanshuang shrunk his neck and muttered, "Where is it not as thick as an arm?" There is clearly a thick bowl mouth......"

"Dare to pout?"

Li Ke was furious, flew up and kicked Wu Yuanshuang on the heel, and scolded: "This king has heard that your brother has always been unprofessional, cheating and cheating, and he read it in the face of Fang Shilang and Wu Niangzi, so he opened up the net with gossip and gave you this opportunity, and you did just that?" ”

He is really about to die of anger, this martial arts brother has no brains?

Fang Jun is not happy to take care of you, just because you are unreliable, if you can take this opportunity to behave well, Fang Jun can show a little meat between his fingers, and your brother can eat and drink spicy food, okay?

The result?

shoddy, indiscriminate, and cutting corners......

His Royal Highness King Wu was very angry, and said hatefully: "Believe it or not, this king is now calling Fang Jun to let him see this house, he can beat you two bastards to death?!" ”

Wu Yuanshuang was frightened......

At the beginning, he was picked up to make trouble in the East City, which made Fang Jun angry, so he was heavily fined, and he had no money to pay the fine of Jingzhao Mansion, so he went to find Mei Niang to help, Mei Niang took Fang Jun behind their back to borrow a sum of money for their brother in the Hejian County Palace, so that they could pay the fine, and there was still money to contract the construction site of the Kunming poolside.

Even if she contracted this project, Mei Niang took the door of King Wu in the name of Fang Jun......

Now if Fang Jun knew that their brother had cut corners with shoddy goods, which greatly ruined Fang Jun's face, that mallet would not be able to beat the two brothers to death.

Wu Yuanshuang's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't do it!" ”

Li Ke snorted, and said with a gloomy face: "In any case, it was the martial lady who begged to come to this king that day, so that she gave your brother this opportunity." Now this king will give Wu Niangzi another face, and then immediately give this house to this king, and build it again, no corners are allowed, no shoddy, otherwise this king will not be merciful! ”

As soon as he said that, Li Ke walked away in front of a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry.

Only the Wu brothers were left staring at each other......

"Big brother, what should I do?"

Wu Yuanshuang looked at his brother and swallowed his saliva with difficulty.

Wu Yuanqing's face was dead, and he said dejectedly: "Where do I know what to do......

It stands to reason that Wu Wang Li Ke did not hold the two accountable for the first time, which can be regarded as giving Tianda face, and overthrowing and restarting is also the best solution.

But the crux of the matter is that the brothers have no money......
