◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
"Brother, the matter has been done, and my sister will leave first. ”
Yoo Shi-yeon walked out of her high school bedroom while sorting out her clothes. When he walked to the door, he turned around and smiled sweetly at the back room, and said in a very charming voice: "Brother, you sleep well, my sister can't sleep with you." ”
There was a low "um" from the room, and then snoring, as if extremely tired, and the maids snickered, as for what had just happened, anyone with a little bit of intelligence understood.
"Don't bother your brother, go back and rest, my brother is tired, let him rest well. ”
"Yes. The maids were secretly pleasantly surprised, it was really rare to be able to rest so early.
After Liu Shiyan left, Fang Yu drafted a letter in a high Mufeng tone. It is to the effect that the child has loved Liu Shiyan for a long time, but Liu Shiyan has a heart. The child is in great pain, and he feels that he has nothing to love, so he can only commit suicide by hanging the beam, and seek relief from death, and his father cherishes it.
After he finished writing, he crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it on the ground, giving people the scene of regretting not being the first in high school.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Liu Shiyan opened the tent, pulled some messy hair back to her head, looked back at Fang Yu who was sleeping on the bed, couldn't help but smile slightly, and walked outside with her hand, and pushed open the window and opened the door.
After a while, several maidservants brought hot water and towels. Liu Shiyan finished washing, and the maidservants had already set up a fragrant breakfast. Breakfast was hearty – two bowls of pearly white jade porridge, two hors d'oeuvres, a plate of golden baked shortbread, a plate of crystal crab dumplings, and a plate of delicate lotus paste buns.
Liu Shiyan put her hair in a bun in front of the dressing table and inserted hosta beads, and the whole person looked familiar and beautiful.
"Get up, sweetheart. Liu Shiyan leaned over to the bed and called out to Fang Yu.
"Baby, let me sleep a little longer......" Fang Yu replied dimly, turned over and fell asleep again.
"It's time to get up, officer. Liu Shiyan leaned close to Fang Yu's ear and called out softly.
"Lady, let me sleep a little longer. Please......" The sweet and gentle voice did not arouse Fang Yu.
"I can't sleep, get up!" Liu Shiyan suddenly shouted sternly, but her hands reached into the satin quilt to scratch Fang Yu's armpits, and her mouth "fluttered" and "giggled" and laughed coquettishly.
"Ah...... Yikes...... Hehehe......" Fang Yu rolled around with a smile. After a few moments, he began to shoot back, scratching at her armpit.
"Ah...... Yes...... Giggle......" Liu Shiyan smiled coquettishly, scratching Fang Yu while resisting.
Liu Shiyan was overwhelmed by Fang Yu's grasping, pinching and scratching, and fell into the bed with a smile, Fang Yu took advantage of the situation to hug her and roll and play on the bed.
Eventually, there was silence between the beds. Liu Shiyan pressed straight on Fang Yu's body, the two looked at each other affectionately, kissed each other twice, and then both got out of bed.
Liu Shiyan dressed Fang Yu, put on shoes, combed his hair, washed up, methodically and skillfully, and then took his arm and went out to eat.
After breakfast, after washing, and when the tea was being tasted, the maidservant lowered her head and reported that the king was coming.
Fang Yu waved his hand: "Please ask Wang Shoubei to come here to discuss the matter." ”
Wang Huan walked slowly to the study, pushed the door in, and greeted Fang Yu. Liu Shiyan also hurried to catch up, her legs were slightly bent, her upper body leaned forward slightly, and she said, "Wanfu, the king is guarded." ”
"Ah, Mrs. Fang is very polite. Wang Shoubei raised his eyes and saw Liu Shiyan curling her deep clothes, covering her body tightly, her long hair pulled up, and only half of her white and slender neck was exposed, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.
After serving tea, Fang Yu didn't gossip, but went straight to the point and asked, "Wang Shoubei must have something important to do when he came early in the morning?"
Wang Huan leaned over and said with a frightened expression: "Something is wrong! Gao Mufeng committed suicide by leaving a suicide note last night, and he is nowhere to be found in high school, can the prefect know about it?"
Fang Yu pretended to be surprised: "I just got up, how could such an accident happen overnight?
"This matter is related to Mrs. Fang, and her subordinates ......," Wang Huan glanced at Liu Shiyan intentionally or unintentionally.
"The king is on guard, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”
Wang Huan sighed and said: "The price of food has fallen, and the people are cheering and rushing to buy it. Gao Mufeng was discouraged, and committed suicide by hanging the beam. I couldn't stand the blow when I wanted to come to high school, so I ran away from home...... Alas......"
As he spoke, he stared at Fang Yu with a keen eye, as if he wanted to see clues from his face. What disappointed him from beginning to end was that Fang Yu was not only shocked, but also regretful, but at the same time he had deep worries. As the saying goes, a group of dragons cannot be without a leader for a day, and if no one from the grain merchant houses comes out to take charge, it will be like a plate of loose sand. A rat feces spoils a pot of porridge, and when the time comes, the price of grain will drive the prices of various industries to float, and the entire Lin'an will fall into dire straits.
Wang Huan was stunned: "Governor Fang's mansion means ......" In fact, he was already able to guess the meaning of Fang Yu's words.
At this time, Fang Zhou shouted outside the door: "Qi Guogong, the people have arrived." ”
Isn't it the prefect of Fang? Wang Huan was stunned.
Fang Yu suddenly changed his complexion just now, and became extremely cold: "For you, I only put forward two requirements: first, do your own job well, if you abuse your power for favoritism, you will be killed! Second, in the future, you must be with the rumors, if the time for more than one stick of incense has not arrived, you will be dismissed and investigated, if you have not seen anyone for more than half a day, there will be no forgiveness for killing." ”
Faced with his sudden change, Wang Huan was stunned.
"Don't think I don't know what you're doing behind your back! If it weren't for your covert support, he wouldn't be able to make much trouble in high school, even if he had great ability.
Fang Yu dropped the sentence "Come with me", then took his wife's hand and walked straight to the main hall. There were thirty or forty people standing in the hall, muttering and complaining quietly. When Wang Huan saw it, they were all elite leaders in various industries, and although he was suspicious in his heart, he could already guess a few points, did this Fang Guogong want to ......
The crowd that was still noisy saw Wang Huan following behind Fang Yu, maybe Wang Huan was used to calling for wind and rain in their eyes, but at this moment, they suddenly saw him groveling so much, and their eyes revealed surprise.
"Our Great Song Dynasty has reached a critical juncture of survival, as a garrison, favoritism, corruption, abuse of power, manipulation of grain prices, and the people are struggling to make a living!"
Fang Yu said, suddenly glared at Wang Huan viciously, and shouted: "Don't think I don't know what you're doing behind your back! If it weren't for your secret support, he wouldn't be able to make much trouble in high school, even if he had great ability." There is no idle land for thousands of miles, and the farmers are still starving to death. Listen to me, whoever dares to make waves behind his back and destroy the prosperity and stability of Lin'an, this is his example!"
With that, he suddenly waved his hand.
Fang Zhou shouted: "Come on! Put the main culprit Wang Huan on death row, and ask him to be beheaded at three o'clock in the afternoon! Accomplice Wang Gengchen will be sent to Cangzhou!"
Wang Huan was taken aback, and thought that he was laughing with her, and when he saw that he was caught and shouted and came forward to arrest him, he knew that what he said was true, his legs were weak, and he just wanted to shout "wronged", but he just opened his mouth, but he was hit by a stone secretly thrown by Liu Shiyan, and he could only make a hoarse "ahhhhhhhhhhh
"Wang Shoubei, what else do you have to say?"
Wang Huan has thousands of wrongs and thousands of bitter words, and he is also "speechless" at the moment. originally thought that everything was under his control, but who knew that he was toyed with by this kid and lost his life in vain.
The elite leaders of all walks of life looked at each other, sincerely fearful, Fang Yu paid equal attention to grace and power, and the three major disciplines and eight major precepts were issued together, and if anyone dared to disobey privately, they would be severely punished. At the same time, he himself made a promise that if he was in one year, Lin'an would be peaceful for one year. No matter what gold or silver people are, they all let him come and go!
The ark immediately brought people and horses to carry out rectification, those who were lazy were all driven out of Lin'an, and those who were corrupt and perverted were all put in prison, and the wind of rectification spread throughout Lin'an, and in just a few days, Lin'an took on a new look.
Lin'an, a water-like city, with the rain and fog of the south of the Yangtze River and the green willows in the face, tasted the prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty, until the iron hooves of Mengyuan broke through the mountains and rivers.
In a few decades, it will develop into a new metropolis, even more prosperous than Bianliang. Let's just say that if Hangzhou is an elegant aristocracy, then Tang Chang'an, who fascinates countless people, can only be regarded as an upstart.
The population of Lin'an Province has been above one million for a long time, with a recorded population of 1.24 million, compared to the population of Venice, a large Western city of the same era, only 100,000. The degree of population mobility is the highest among China's feudal dynasties, almost on a par with modern times. And its urban population is staggering more than 60 percent, a level that even many modern megacities cannot reach.
Where there are people, there is a market, and the market economy in Lin'an is extremely prosperous, and no feudal dynasty in China can reach this height.
Listening to Fang Yu's eloquent words, Fang Zhou nodded again and again in astonishment, and said with a smile: "History will remember me, and the prosperity of Lin'an also has my share of credit!"
At this point, Lin'an lifted the curfew again, starting from three or four o'clock in the morning, until late at night, the roadside is full of open shops and restaurants, fireworks and willow lanes are all night long, and small vendors selling in the market and selling can be seen everywhere. There are tiles across the street, and ordinary people linger for a day. When encountering a restaurant like "Appreciation Building", it is even more all-nighter.
On this day, the chief's family, who had not seen each other for a long time because they were busy with their own affairs, finally had dinner in the most luxurious room of the "Appreciation Building". For this party, Satsuki almost broke her legs.
"Official, the dishes haven't been served yet...... How can you ......?"
Fang Yu picked up a chopstick dish and handed it to Liu Shiyan's mouth. Liu Shiyan opened her mouth to hold it, and when she saw her husband winking at her, Liu Shiyan smiled charmingly, lowered her head and fed it into Fang Yu's mouth. He chewed and swallowed, and then took Liu Shiyan's red lips and sucked them clean.
Feeding another mouthful of food, Liu Shiyan stretched out the remnants of Fang Yu's mouth and lifted it into his mouth, Fang Yu took the clove in his mouth and sucked it, and Liu Shiyan slowly pulled out the fragrant tongue.
Seeing the two of them showing their affection in front of the public, Fang Zhou coughed and muttered: "I really admire the second brother, who actually treats the lady so meekly." ”
Turning his head to look at Liu Yufu, he had a vegetable plate in one hand and one on his head, but he was running fast, but he shouted playfully: "Official, come and help! It's going to fall!"
You have your gentleness, I have my playfulness, Fang Zhou smiled, looked at Liu Yufu and smiled: "This tune, I like it!"
