At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the war on the Shandong Peninsula was fought in the dark.

Modern Society, February 1, 2026.

Taizhou.

Xu Yuan is facing a rather difficult problem.

Shengshi Mansion, in the hall on the first floor of the villa.

"Tell me, what the hell do you want to do with me and your child?" Song Jiayun crossed her waist with her hands crossed, holding her belly about six months old, standing in front of Xu Yuan, and asked with a cold face.

"Wife, haven't we already received the certificate? The wedding photos were also taken, and it was just a wedding banquet. Xu Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa, beckoned, wanting to hug the woman, and Song Jiayun had indeed become his wife, as early as the beginning of July last year, she said that she was pregnant, and when the child was his, on the seventh day of the month, the two quickly got the certificate, and went to take wedding photos in August.

"Get out! What kind of couple are we two like? ”

Song Jiayun's aggrieved tears came down, and complained: "You have to travel every day, you only come back three or four days a month, you don't have time to accompany me at all, even the prenatal check-up is done by my mother who took me to the hospital, I can't see you when I encounter problems, I have to buy what I want to eat, and occasionally when I miss you, I can't even get through a phone call, what do you say is the difference between this and keeping a widow?" If I had known this, I shouldn't have been fooled into getting a certificate from you! ”

"I can't help it."

Xu Yuan spread his hands helplessly: "My work is of this nature, you didn't know it before, why can't you accept it now?" ”

"I don't care, since I'm married, then I can't live without a husband, and my children can't live without a father!"

Song Jiayun gave an ultimatum: "I'll give you two choices, either quit this job, stay with me and my children in the future, and help me take care of Tianfeng jewelry by the way; Either break up and divorce, anyway, it makes no difference with you or not. ”

Song Jiayun's pretty face is like frost, her attitude is very tough, no way, she is just a woman, she used to be single and could live a very chic life, but after having a child, she realized how fragile she was, she was tired from morning sickness, she had to be careful when the burden on her body was constantly increasing, and when she needed someone to help with any housework, she realized how important it was to have a man!

So she has changed her mind now, Xu Yuan will stop going abroad to pan for gold, just take care of herself at home in the future, if she works, go to her Tianfeng Jewelry as the deputy manager, just open a salary of 3,000 yuan, and serve her and the child well, even if he wants to eat soft rice for a lifetime in the future, she Song Jiayun will also take care of it, and if she doesn't agree, she will have a showdown!

Of course, Xu Yuan couldn't agree, although being maintained by a rich woman is something that countless men dream of, but he is a traveler and a man who stands up to the sky! How could it be possible to do such a humiliating thing, I had to go over and put my arm around the woman's shoulder, coaxing and persuading, and promised to find a way to increase the time with her, but it didn't work, Song Jiayun had enough of it, and he had to make a choice today!

Look at her resolute and uncompromising look.

Xu Yuan thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said to the woman, "Song Jiayun, come with me." ”

"Where to go?"

"You'll know when you come."

Walked to the elevator entrance, entered the elevator, pressed the button on the second floor, and Xu Yuan beckoned the woman to come in.

Seeing the man's sneaky appearance, Song Jiayun was a little scared, what is this for? Isn't it going to do it, or lock her in the basement and not let her out? She realized that she might have just gone a little too far, how many good people were in the gold mining industry? A lot of gold of unknown origin is bloody, she may underestimate this husband, at least bring dozens of hundreds of kilograms of gold every month, not to mention the princess's disease, even the real princess's head, can also give you a hammer, thinking of this, she squeezed out a smile and said: "Husband, I'm afraid of the dark, I won't go down, what I said just now is all angry words, don't take it seriously." ”

"If you are called, you will come!"

Xu Yuan took her arm and got into the elevator.

……

Inside the underground vault.

When the metal safes were opened one by one, the gold bricks inside were revealed.

Song Jiayun's exclamation and screaming never stopped.

"That's a lot of gold!"

"One piece, two pieces...... More than a hundred, and several safes are full! ”

"Roughly calculated, you have about 30 tons of gold in this vault, oh my God, have you dug a big gold mine, the output is so high, it must be a relatively famous gold mine, right?"

Song Jiayun's lips opened slightly, and she couldn't help but be surprised, and asked all kinds of questions.

"Don't ask where the mine is, there are more people who know, I can't catch it, I can only tell you, that mine is completely a private mine controlled by me, the reserves are indeed not low, the gold I sold you a few years ago, plus the 30.82 tons of gold in this vault, is only one-tenth of the mineable amount of that gold mine, do you say I am willing to give up such a big mine, and eat your soft rice in the future?" Xu Yuan asked solemnly.

"Uh......"

Song Jiayun shook her head: "I shouldn't give up." "A few hundred tons of gold reserves, worth at least hundreds of billions, and the wealth of future generations for at least a few generations, it is impossible for her to give up.

"Now I understand my distress, it's not that I don't want to accompany you more, it's not that I don't want to call you, but as long as the phone is turned on, the location of my gold mine may be exposed, and someone will come to rob the mine soon.

"Uh-huh~"

Song Jiayun nodded again and again, it makes sense, this can be explained.

Xu Yuan said again: "You are my woman, the child in your belly is my child, for you, I am very relieved, and I will not treat you badly, I can't give you a lot of time to accompany you, I can only give some economic compensation, so that in the future, all the gold in my vault will be wholesaled to you at a fixed price of 300 yuan a gram, no matter how low it is, it is unlikely that the mining cost will be more than 250, you are also engaged in this industry, you know better than me how the cost is." ”

"300 a gram?"

Song Jiayun's eyes rolled, and immediately entered the shrewd businessman mode, the cost of the piece she really knows, with the increase in labor and equipment costs, the difficulty of gold mining has increased, and now the mining cost of gold at home and abroad is rarely less than 280 per gram, and the cost of Xu Yuan 250 is low.

At present, the price of gold and silver building from the jewelry factory, gold jewelry, is 340 ~ 355 yuan / gram, gold and silver building is sold at a price of 380 ~ 400 yuan / gram, and the profit margin of gold and silver building is 40 yuan / gram.

If you can get a large amount of gold from Xu Yuan at a wholesale price of 300 per gram, even if it costs 15 yuan/gram to send it to the jewelry factory (the cost of opening your own jewelry factory is lower), the profit margin is still more than 65 yuan/gram.

Profits have increased by at least fifty percent.

It can even engage in price reduction promotions to improve the commercial competitiveness of Tianfeng Jewelry and win more customers.

Looking at this glittering underground vault again, thinking that there are still 90% untapped reserves, Song Jiayun actually had an ambition in her heart, planning to make her own gold and silver jewelry brand, to open Tianfeng jewelry all over the country, and make it a well-known brand like Lao Fengxiang and Chow Tai Fook, instead of nesting in the small city of Taizhou forever, to strive for greater development space.

As for the confidence, it all comes from her husband's big gold mine.

Therefore, Song Jiayun, who has recovered her rationality, still plans to be strong and independent, not to cause trouble to men, and not to affect his gold mining career, because this can also bring huge benefits to herself, the child in her womb, and her family.

So she quickly became reasonable, gentle and virtuous.

Suddenly, Song Jiayun's face changed again, she had figured it out, but her parents didn't figure it out so easily, especially after she became pregnant, the parents who took care of her had a lot of opinions behind her back, and her father Song Rongsheng scolded Xu Yuan for being a scumbag and irresponsible! Mother Wen Ruohong also has a lot of complaints, feeling that she has lost her eyes, although her career is important, but her wife is pregnant, she still needs to accompany her more, right?

"It's easy to convince your parents, just explain to them the nature of our marriage, that is, a two-headed marriage, you will live with your parents for a long time in the future, I will live with me, occasionally meet, if you have a child, you let your parents help bring it, and if you have a second child in the future, the second child will be your surname Song, in this way, as a daughter, you have always been by their side, and there is an additional descendant of the Song family, I believe that this kind of two-headed marriage, your parents should be more willing to accept." Xu Yuan said.

"Two-headed marriage?"

Song Jiayun thought for a moment, she had heard of this form of marriage, and it was also very popular now, although it was a bit troublesome for her, and she had to run around often, but for her parents, it was completely acceptable, because not many parents would want their only daughter to be away from her side for a long time after she got married.

At the same time, Song Jiayun also felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong, she always felt that the man arranged it like this, did she want to hide something from her? After all, as a woman, who doesn't want to sleep with her husband every day?

But with the nature of Xu Yuan's work, it is said that it is not a two-headed marriage, and it is almost the same as a two-headed marriage, she lives alone in Xu Yuan's big villa, who will take care of her? I don't spend most of my time at my parents' house, so let's get married at both ends.

……

On the twenty-eighth day of the year.

Xu Yuan drove the car, loaded a trunk full of special products and New Year's goods, and came to the Zijin Flower City Community to celebrate the New Year at his father-in-law's mother-in-law's house.

And the specialties he brought were all brought from the late Ming Dynasty.

There are two live brown crabs weighing seven or eight pounds, a wild yellow croaker weighing more than 30 pounds, more than 50 abalone weighing half a pound after drying, four dried cuttlefish with a basin size, and more than 30 pounds of black pork slaughtered by Xujiazhuang pig farm, the black pig is fed with ancient natural ingredients, although it grows slowly, but the taste is amazing, ten times more fragrant than the pork flavor in people's memory, it is by no means the white pork that has no taste in modern society.

Song Rongsheng, the cheap father-in-law who ran up and down several times to help carry these special New Year's goods, originally planned to scold Xu Yuan when he saw him, but when he saw so many specialties and sincerity, he had to hold his opinions in his stomach for the time being.

At the dinner table, after tasting the amazing deliciousness of the ingredients brought by Xu Yuan, Song Rongsheng suddenly felt that this cheap son-in-law was still okay, at least the specialties he brought today were definitely comparable to the legendary special food, and it would be more face-saving to entertain relatives and friends in the future.

Mother-in-law Wen Ruohong was not so easy to be bought, and she vaguely raised a lot of opinions to Xu Yuan at the dinner table, asking him to accompany his wife Song Jiayun more.

"Mom, I think about it this way, I usually travel too much, but I can't let go of my career outside, so I discussed it with Jiayun and felt that the two of us are still more suitable for a two-headed marriage." Xu Yuan said what he thought.

"Two-headed marriage?"

Song Rongsheng and Wen Ruohong were slightly stunned.
