A few days later, Princess Taiping's Mansion.

Xue Shao rode his horse and rushed home, and for the first time he did not go back to the main hall to report to Princess Taiping, but ran to the newly repaired wine bottle in the backyard.

Still far away, Xue Shao smelled the rich fragrance of wheat. Coincidentally, Princess Taiping, Chen Xian'er, Linlang and others were all curiously gathered around the outside of the wine sauce to watch, and saw several wine masters and apprentices inside sweating and boiling wheat mash.

Seeing Xue Shao coming back, Princess Taiping and others all came up and asked curiously, why did they buy these winemakers to make their own wine? There are so many treasures and fine wines in the cellar at home, and I can't drink them all in ten years!

Xue Shao smiled without saying a word, and walked into the wine room mysteriously. The winemakers were overjoyed to see Xue Shao come back, and hurriedly said, "The master came back just in time, and this wheat mash is finally cooked according to the rules you set." But what is the use of this hop flower? The villain has been brewing wine for half his life, and he has never used this thing! ”

Xue Shao smiled to himself, he came back at the right time!

So he taught the winemakers the use, treatment and dosage of hops, and many other details. And personally supervised the work, watched them weigh the hops with a small copper scale, and then carefully added them to the wheat mash to continue boiling.

"Amazing! This wheat mash has become clear! The sommeliers were amazed.

"There are still many processes ahead, and there is no mistake in the slightest. If you're wrong, you'll have to start all over again. Xue Shao said, "Also, the secret method I taught you is not allowed to be passed on at all." ”

"The villain doesn't dare to die!" The sommeliers hurriedly bowed. The deed of sale is in Xue Shao's hands, and these people will not have the slightest disobedience at all, otherwise they will not be able to live with their own lives.

Xue Shao left the wine room and went to the dining hall satisfied. Princess Taiping had been waiting for him to open the meal for a long time, and sent several rounds of maids to urge.

As soon as Xue Shao stepped into the dining hall, Princess Taiping asked anxiously, "Xue Lang, what kind of wine are you brewing?" ”

Xue Shao replied with a smile: "My new creation, summer wine." ”

"What is summer wine?" Princess Taiping asked.

Xue Shao smiled: "Of course, it's a wine suitable for summer!" ”

"That can't be called summer wine, it's too mediocre." Princess Taiping rolled her eyes slightly, "It's called Taiping Wine!" ”

"Taiping wine!" Xue Shao said with a sigh, "This, this is indeed a comparison...... Tall! ”

"Then it's decided, Taiping Wine!" Princess Taiping happily picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of fish to Xue Shao's mouth, "Treat the smart and capable husband, open your mouth-ah!" ”

Xue Shao swallowed the fish tarther in one bite, and said in his heart that my great invention patent, which spans thousands of years, was easily bought out by this piece of fish tart!

"By the way, I have one more thing to ask you." Princess Taiping finished feeding the fish and said with a smile, "I heard that on that day in Shangqingguan, the demon said that you would not marry, but there is such a thing?" ”

"Children's words are unscrupulous, why take it seriously?" Xue Shao couldn't help but smile bitterly, she was quite well-informed.

"Seems to be true, huh?" Princess Taiping deliberately straightened her face, and began to count like a cannon, "Xue Lang, do you still have a little conscience to know the inherent goodness of virtue and people?" You'er is still a child, so innocent, kind and simple, you actually went to seduce her?! ”

"Heaven and earth conscience, absolutely not." Xue Shao said, "In my heart, the demon is my sister, and even like my daughter. ”

Princess Taiping blinked, "As far as I know, it's true that you and You'er don't feel like that. But why didn't you say a word about Shangqingguan and his party after you came back? ”

Xue Shao smiled indifferently, "Because there's nothing to mention." ”

"Alas!" Princess Taiping sighed, "You and Xuanyunzi ......"

"Eat, eat!" Xue Shao picked up the dishes and chopsticks and devoured them vigorously.

Princess Taiping smiled slightly bitterly and stopped interrogating - Xue Shao has never liked nagging and tangled women, which Princess Taiping is quite sure.

The couple ate in a sullen voice.

Princess Taiping felt that the atmosphere was not good, so she took the initiative to find a topic and said, "I entered the palace today. ”

"Hmm." Xue Shao's mouth was full of food and his speech was slurred.

"Mother said she would build me a new house." Princess Taiping said.

Xue Shao's chopsticks stopped slightly, "Isn't it good to live here, why do you want to make a new one?" - This is the Ming Hall and the palace, and it is necessary to build another Taiping Princess's Mansion, and it is a good thing to mobilize the people to work hard and lose money? ”

Princess Taiping had long expected Xue Shao to say this, so she replied cautiously: "I also said so, and I rejected my mother." But she has made up her mind and cannot be refuted. ”

Xue Shao blinked his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said, "Is that really the case?" ”

Princess Taiping was silent with an embarrassed face.

Xue Shao glanced at her, and Princess Taiping lowered her head weakly.

"I've never liked people lying to me." Xue Shao's face sank slightly, "You shouldn't be even better." ”

"Xue Lang, I was wrong." Princess Taiping made a pitiful look, leaned over to Xue Shao's side, and whispered: "I heard that the imperial court is already planning to start construction and build a new princess mansion for Xuanyunzi. I went to my mother and asked, and she said yes......"

"Hey......" Xue Shao sighed and put down his chopsticks, "I'm full, go to the wine room to have a look." ”

"Xue Lang Xue Lang, don't go!" Princess Taiping hurriedly grabbed Xue Shao, "I admit my mistakes, you can forgive me!" ”

Xue Shao didn't move, and said patiently: "You and Xuan Yunzi, what is there to compare?" Isn't it just a mansion, we are not short of money, if you want it, then we will build ten. Can you run to the Queen Mother to be jealous? ”

"I didn't, I really didn't!" Princess Taiping exclaimed aggrievedly, "I am ...... Asked! ”

"You shouldn't have asked that." Xue Shao Zhengse said, "I didn't even care about this matter, I never asked, what do you have to ask?" Doesn't your question make others think that you are not confident, small, and deliberately jealous? - How am I to you, what is my attitude towards Xuan Yunzi, don't outsiders know if you don't know? What else do you have to worry about! ”

"Xue Lang, are you angry?" Princess Taiping pouted pitifully and whispered, "I'm pregnant, you can't murder me!" ”

Xue Shao smiled bitterly and hurriedly hugged her in his arms, "I didn't murder you, I just want you to know that Xuanyunzi's mansion was made for outsiders to see, not for you." Anyone can be jealous, but you can't. Because you are the unparalleled Princess Taiping in the world, you are Xue Shao's only favorite woman, and no one can replace you. You have to be proud enough to be confident enough. Do you understand? ”

"Princess Taiping, who is unparalleled in the world, has already understood!" Princess Taiping obediently lay in Xue Shao's arms, and said with a smile, "I will enter the palace tomorrow, and no matter what, I must persuade my mother to take back her life, we don't want her to build a new mansion." ”

"Yes. Princess Taiping, who is unparalleled in the world, does not need to be compared with anyone, because no one can compare with her. Xue Shao smiled and nodded, "If you get tired of living here, your man will build you a new one." You can look as big as you want! ”

"Bragging!" Princess Taiping grinned and scratched Xue Shao's nose with her fingers and said, "Do you have any money?" You even gave the land to your third brother, and that little money is not enough for you to support those tribal scouts, and you have recently bought a winemaker and a servant and added twenty mouths to feed. I see you, you're about to become a poor man's horse! ”

"Poor man's colt? Look down on people less! Xue Shao sneered, "I have money, but I am not locked in the Treasure Pavilion like you." Normally, when I spend a small amount of money, of course I don't use it. My money, that's all for big things! ”

"Isn't it a big deal to build a splendid new mansion for your beloved wife?" Princess Taiping asked with a grin.

"Forget it, of course forget it!" Xue Shao said seriously, "Now I'll ask you officially, are you sure you really want a new mansion?" ”

Princess Taiping sat up straight excitedly, "Sure!" ”

Xue Shao stretched out his hand to Princess Taiping, and said solemnly: "You advance the money to me first, and then double it after a while!" ”

A few days later.

Xue Shao took a convoy to Lidefang, walked into the home of Prime Minister Wang Benli, and personally handed over several truckloads of silk and money to him.

In the blue sky, of course, Xue Shao did not come to bribe the prime minister, but - to buy his mansion!

The Taiping Princess Mansion where Xue Shao and Princess Taiping live now is still bought and renovated by Yu Hongye when the two saints moved their capitals, and is located in Guiyifang, which is not too far from the imperial city. The Lide Fang is located in the middle of the Guiyi Fang and the Imperial City and close to the Imperial City, surrounded by rivers and rivers, and the environment is extremely beautiful.

Wang Benli once used a cold arrow to severely sore Pei Yan in the fierce battle where the Queen Mother overthrew Pei Yan, and Pei Yan helped the Queen Mother a lot, so not only was he promoted to the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, but the Queen Mother also rewarded him with this exquisite mansion that occupied half of the land of Lide Fang.

Xue Shaozhi really took this matter to heart after talking about the "mansion" with Princess Taiping that day, and inquired about the best land in Luoyang to build the mansion. Eventually, he fell in love with Wang Benli's residence in Lide Fang.

Princess Taiping thought that Xue Shao was just joking, but she didn't think that he actually took it seriously, and when she heard that Xue Shao was going to buy the residence of Prime Minister Wang Benli, Princess Taiping was stunned.

"Xue Lang, you have always disliked publicity and extravagance, why are you so aggressive this time?" Princess Taiping asked.

"It has nothing to do with Zhang Yang and extravagance, the man's husband has a word, and the horse is difficult to chase!" Xue Shaohao was angry, and after speaking, he stretched out his hand to Princess Taiping, "Borrow some more money, and you will pay it back twice when the time comes!" ”

Wang Benli, who made his fortune by "speculation", rarely took others into account after becoming the prime minister. He spent a lot of money to decorate his house in such a magnificent and splendid manner that it was almost as beautiful as Jingu Garden, and it was almost as beautiful as Jingu Garden. The people of Manluoyang know in their hearts that now this mansion is not only his prime minister's mansion and the inheritance and ancestral business passed down to his descendants, but also the gold-lettered signboard of his "deep favor", and it is also the root of his life that he absolutely does not allow outsiders to covet.

No one has ever thought of the idea of hitting the mansion of Wang Xianggong, and Xue Shao is the first one.

And the last, of course.

It's just that he heard from the mouths of others that Xue Shao wanted to buy his own house, so Wang Ben immediately took the initiative to find Xue Shao and said that he was willing to "give it with both hands without a penny". Of course, Xue Shao wouldn't ask for his mansion in vain, otherwise wouldn't he be charged with forcible robbery?

As a result, under the fair valuation of a third party and the intermediary certificate, Xue Shao bought Wang Benli's mansion at the market price in Luoyang. And on the same day, more than 800 workers rushed to the scene to break ground, and those who should be demolished should be repaired. More than 60 boats borrowed from Hongmen have begun to bring in construction materials from all over the world around the clock, and a steady stream of them has been sent directly to the construction site of Lip Tak Fang along the Luoshui Waterway.

For a time, Luoyang was a sensation.

The people in the streets and alleys of the government and the opposition began to comment on the matter of Xue Shao's new mansion.

It wasn't until this time that Princess Taiping really believed that Xue Shao was really moving this time and was going to build a new mansion for her!

Princess Taiping's heart was really mixed, and he said to Xue Shao: "Xue Lang, in fact, you don't have to be so serious. ”

"I'm not taking you seriously, I'm doing something very important and meaningful." Xue Shao replied, "We've been married for five years, and this is the first time I've sent you something - don't you like it, don't you want it?" ”

"Of course I like it, of course I want it, but I ......" Princess Taiping didn't know what to say. On the other side, Xuanyunzi's mansion was under construction day and night, and on this side, Xue Shao started to build a new home for himself...... She always felt that this was a little weird!

"Then you just wait to take it, and don't think about anything else." Xue Shao said nonchalantly, "It's only natural for a man to give a gift to his wife, and no one cares!" ”

Princess Taiping was speechless. For the first time, she felt that Xue Shao was so unreasonable.

- But he is actually like a demon, and he is unreasonable to love him to death!
