Xia Jun nodded and said, "You guys are in charge of your own affairs, I don't want to say much." But your strength is not very strong yet, so you have to be patient in everything, and you can't make too many enemies. Fang Xiaoyu also nodded in agreement.

Xia Jun asked again: "Did the emperor summon you alone yesterday for anything?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "It's just that the emperor explained to me the reason for not sending troops, and asked me what I thought about the war in the Cossack Empire." Fang Xiaoyu carefully told Xia Jun about the conversation between himself and the emperor, facing this old man who has always taken good care of him, Fang Xiaoyu has nothing to hide.

Xia Jun nodded and analyzed: "It seems that the emperor is a little wavering now, that is, he is afraid that your power will develop too quickly and threaten the rule of the Xiahou family, and he thinks that you are a loyal minister and wants to rely on you to expand the territory of the empire." Since the emperor said that he would send troops next spring, how would you deal with it? ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "According to the information I have received, the envoy of the Cossack Empire is already on the way, or we will start negotiations with the Cossacks in the spring, I just promised the emperor an empty favor." ”

Flourishing.

"Hahaha, you." Xia Jun pointed at Fang Xiaoyu and said with a smile: "You haven't changed at all, you are still so treacherous and slippery, even the emperor dares to calculate." ”

Fang Xiaoyu laughed and said, "Isn't this the ideal grandson-in-law in the marshal's mind?" ”

Xia Jun smiled: "Okay, since you can solve these problems satisfactorily, I will be relieved." Presumably Tingwei and her sisters are still waiting for you, and I won't keep you, you can go quickly. Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly retired.

Leaving Xia Jun's study, Fang Xiaoyu went straight to Xia Tingwei's boudoir. Before she could go in, Xia Tingyun had already run out of it, she grabbed Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Why did you come back, my sister and I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Fang Xiaoyu was pulled into the door by Xia Tingyun, and he explained as he walked: "I'm talking to my grandfather about business, naturally it will take longer." Seeing Xia Tingyun, Fang Xiaoyu sighed in his heart. There are advantages and disadvantages to having such a beautiful pair of sisters as wives, I originally wanted to make love with Xia Tingwei, but now that the two sisters are here, I am afraid that even if she takes the initiative, Xia Tingwei will be embarrassed.

After playing with the two sisters for a while, suddenly a house slave of the Xia family came to report that the Fang family had sent someone to find Fang Xiaoyu in an emergency, so Fang Xiaoyu had no choice but to say goodbye to the two sisters and return to the Fang family with his own guards.

"Xiao Yu, the Chinese Consulate has just sent news that the mission of the Cossack Empire has arrived in Vladivostok." Seeing Fang Xiaoyu, Fang Wei immediately told him such a piece of news.

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Grandpa, don't worry, let them live there for a month first, and then go back to talk to them after I finish the New Year." ”

Fang Qiong on the side said: "I don't think well, after all, people are here on behalf of a big empire, and they can't be lazy." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Second Grandpa, this diplomatic matter is not what you think. This time we won a big victory, and they were the ones who were anxious to talk about peace. Now it's about making them anxious, and it's in our best interest to wait until the time comes to negotiate. ”

Fang Rui smiled: "We really don't understand these things, and we hurriedly called Xiaoyu back." Forget it, with Xiaoyu's ability, what are we not worried about, let him do it according to his own ideas. ”

Uncle Fang Weiming smiled on the side: "Xiaoyu, in fact, everyone has one more thing I want to discuss with you. ”

"If there's anything you need, uncle, just tell me." Fang Xiaoyu replied dryly.

Fang Weiming seemed to be in a dilemma before thinking for a moment before saying: "You also know that our Fang family has always controlled a large number of commercial channels in the Lanfang Empire, but I think only the commercial family is too fragile, and I want the Fang family to also set up some factories." ”

After listening to the uncle's words, Fang Xiaoyu was very interested: "This is a good thing, I don't know what factory Uncle Lu Dao plans to open." Originally, Fang Weiming was afraid that Fang Xiaoyu would have any prevarication, but now it seems that Fang Xiaoyu didn't think in that direction at all, and actually blurted out words of agreement, and even took the initiative to help.

Now Fang Weiming likes this capable nephew more and more, he smiled and said to Xiaoyu: "Your eldest brother also got married half a year ago, I plan to let their husband and wife develop in your territory, and let them decide what business to do." ”

Fang Xiaoyu has been very busy when he came back this time, and he has almost no time to spend with his family. Today is also the first time I have seen my eldest brother Fang Dingguo when I come back this time, so I didn't know the news that Brother Lu Dao had been married until now. Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "It turns out that the eldest brother has already finished getting married, and he hasn't congratulated the eldest brother yet." ”

Fang Dingguo said with a smile: "When you got married half a year ago, it was the most important time for you to fight there, I heard that you went to Chita City to supervise the war in person, and the family was afraid that you would be distracted, so they didn't tell you." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "So what do you plan to do when the eldest brother and sister-in-law go to me to develop this time?" ”

Fang Dingguo said with a smile: "I plan to open a garment factory with you first, this is what I have done, as long as I bring a few masters from the garment shop in the capital over, and I will talk about it when the rest comes." ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said: "This business can really make money, since the eldest brother is willing to develop in my small place, I can't ask for it, I will give the eldest brother technical support, so that you can build a complete set of factories, from cotton spinning to weaving to ready-to-wear, such profits are much greater than just making ready-to-wear clothes, and I will give you an additional five-year tax-free policy." But I want to say ugly things in the front, even our own people must respect the law, and if they commit crimes in the territory, they will be punished. ”

Hearing that Fang Xiaoyu took care of him like this, Fang Dingguo was very happy: "I understand this, our own people will definitely not dismantle your platform." Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's series of preferential policies, Fang Dingguo's face was about to burst into laughter.

Seeing the excitement of what the two of them were talking about, Fang Rui smiled and said, "Since you have negotiated it yourself, I will rest assured, and the Fang family will depend on you in the future." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "As long as I am there for a day, the Fang family will be strong for a day." ”

Fang Rui nodded and said, "It's really the Fang family's greatest luck to have you. ”

For the Fang family, Fang Xiaoyu is still very emotional. From the moment he came to this world, the people of the Fang family gave him the feeling of true home. The care between the family members made Fang Xiaoyu very warm, and it also made Fang Xiaoyu disdain the kind of intrigue within the family described in the novels he had seen before.

Originally, if the family could not be united, how could it become a big family, and how could it be confronted by other families, but in fact, the big family paid more attention to unity, and only the unity within the family could become stronger and stronger.

"Young Master." Fang Xiaoyu was about to go back to sleep, but found Elena waiting for him in the yard. Fang Xiaoyu walked over and hugged Elena and said, "Why are you still called Young Master, didn't my mother recognize you yesterday?" You should call me husband instead. ”

Elena lowered her head and said, "I came to you for this matter, in our elven clan, engagement is a very sacred thing, let alone a foreigner like you." Tomorrow I have to go back and tell my father about it, and I have to pray by the moon well for a year before I can come back. ”

"For what? So long. Fang Xiaoyu said in surprise. Elena smiled and pointed at Fang Xiaoyu's forehead with a slender jade finger and said, "Fool, when I pray for a year, I can marry you at any time." ”

"Really?" Fang Xiaoyu cheered: "This is really good, when you come back in a year, we will hold a wedding and let your father also come to watch the ceremony." ”

Elena said, "It's okay to get married, but my father can't be there. ”

"For what? I remember that the last time I went to your elven holy land, your mother received us, and when the elves announced that they would join the Chinese Territory, your brother also presided over it, why didn't your father even attend his own daughter's wedding? Fang Xiaoyu decided to feel a little strange.

Elena explained, "It is the custom of our elven race, and each generation of patriarchs will enter the elven forbidden land after taking over, and they will not be allowed to go out for life. ”

Fang Xiaoyu was surprised: "Isn't that the same as going to prison?" ”

"No way, it's our custom, every generation," Elena said. ”

"Really? It's very new, but it's a long time for you to be away. Knowing that Elena was going to leave for a year, Fang Xiaoyu's mood was inevitably a little uncomfortable, for so many years, Fang Xiaoyu had become accustomed to the feeling of Elena by her side.

Seeing that Fang Xiaoyu's mood was not high, Elena cupped Fang Xiaoyu's face and said, "Okay, don't do this." I don't see each other for a year so that we can see each other every day in the future. ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Okay, but I will definitely miss you." ”

Elena kissed Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Okay, cheer up." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "You are leaving tomorrow, is it okay to sleep with me today." ”

Seeing Elena's hesitant eyes, Fang Xiaoyu added: "I just hugged you and slept together, and didn't do anything." ”

Elena nodded, "Okay, I agreed, but just holding on to nothing." ”

That night, Fang Xiaoyu hugged Elena and slept all night, and before dawn in the morning, Elena got up lightly, she didn't wake up Fang Xiaoyu but dressed herself and quietly went out of the room. The door closed, Fang Xiaoyu slowly opened his eyes, sighed and said, "Is it only one year?" It's been a tough year. ”

Fang Xiaoyu sat on the stone bench in the courtyard all morning, looking straight at the yellowed branches in the courtyard and thinking about his thoughts. "Huh? Why are you in a daze here, what if you get the cold? Xia Tingyun's voice came from the door.

Fang Xiaoyu sighed and said, "Alas, red beans are born in the south, and there are a few branches in spring." May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely. ”

"Don't show off your talent, who provoked you and made you so depressed." Xia Tingyun approached Fang Xiaoyu and squatted down and asked.
