Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 321, your joke, my joke
One hundred cartloads of goods came back, nearly half of which were furs, an ordinary sheepskin jacket, ranging from a dozen taels to dozens of taels, and fox fur and mink skins, ranging from a hundred taels to tens of thousands, depending on the quality.

Tiger skin and bear skin, because tigers and bears hurt hunters' lives are not easy to get, and they are rare items that are sold on the market.

Yuan Yun's gift in return is not a good fur.

For the not-so-good furs, the people who beat them stayed to spend the winter by themselves, so as not to have to waste money with the caravan if they couldn’t sell them for a price.

Hua Tianyu drank the tribute wine and ate the dried meat made of honey, and everyone in the city felt like a mirror, and if he didn't return the gift with something good, the son-in-law in Beijing would not die of a joke.

Because the herbal medicine was prepared by the son-in-law in Beijing, it was produced as much as possible, no matter whether it is good or bad, it is just that there are too many ginseng and antlers in it.

The first batch of Mid-Autumn Festival gifts cost hundreds of thousands to the Duke Huguo's Mansion, but there were more gifts in return, which Yun Zhan did not expect.

When Yuan Xiu mentioned Northwest fur, he first smiled at the richness of the Northwest gift, then thought about his father-in-law sticking to Guxi, and he felt proud.

Proud of Yuan Xiu's words, Yun Zhan said, "I can't see that you love sister-in-law."

Yuanxiu sneered: "If you don't love Jing'an, why did you give her many Jingdu guards. For me, it's not much to give her a carload of furs."

As the tea boiled, Yun Zhan concentrated on making the tea, and after offering Yuanxiu a cup, he continued to tease her: "How much is a carload of furs worth? Please report carefully, so don't accidentally give away your wealth to others."

Yuan Xiu accompanied him to talk nonsense: "Did you hear that the most expensive fur in Beijing this year sells for 18 pieces? The Princess of the Ming Kingdom specially came to tell me."

She paused, said ah, and smiled again: "Yes, I have a joke to tell you. If you are free today, you don't need to save it until the old age."

Yun Zhan's smile deepened: "The joke I told last time, I will tell you about it later."

Yuan Xiu burst into curiosity: "You tell me first, how about making me laugh?"

"You are indispensable, you can say it first and I will say it first." Yun Zhan smiled, judging from his relaxed expression, it must be a good joke.

Yuan Xiu hurriedly said: "Then let me talk about it first, because my story is not really a joke, but I can't do anything to them except for a smile."

Yun Zhan raised his eyes and flashed them, still smiling casually, Yuan Xiu wanted to hear his jokes earlier and finish them quickly.

The cause of the incident was that a few days ago, the Princess of the Ming Dynasty and the King of the British County came over with a New Year gift and made a request to Yuanxiu. The meaning of these words turned their politeness into a sharp knife, and Yuanxiu could not accept the measure of "request". Words are demands!
"I don't know what will be rewarded in the palace today. We have lost the New Year's rewards in previous years." These are the words of the two princesses.

Yuan Xiu followed the words and asked, "How did you lose money?"

"Over the years, the New Year's rewards of silver and tribute are certain. The elders have a solid foundation, but our young daughter-in-law has suffered a disadvantage. We are second-class again. Either we want to say such things, or even the princesses in the palace In this way, now that the siblings are here, can you tell my aunt about this new year's reward, my aunt is the most considerate."

Yun Zhan heard this, and said coldly: "My mother is the most considerate, why don't they speak for themselves?"

"I think so too, and I agreed as soon as she opened her mouth. I'm a stupid person, so I asked to understand. It turns out that these two really think I'm stupid. They think that the county palace is the same as the palace, but the New Year's reward There should be some balance.”

Yun Zhan's expression became even colder: "You didn't ask them, when they gave rewards to the family members in the mansion, did they divide them into grades or grades?"

"That's why people think I'm stupid. They told me about the difficulty of such an obvious thing, which took up half a day of my life."

Yuanxiu pursed her lips angrily.

Yun Zhan squinted admiringly, and there was a smile in his eyes: "People don't think you are stupid, they think you are stupid."

Yuan Xiu was annoyed: "Where did this word come from? How long have I stayed here?"

"Let me help you analyze whether Sister Hui helped Jing'an, at least in the eyes of others." Yun Zhan said leisurely.

Yuan Xiu couldn't help laughing: "That's Concubine Tan always targeting Sister Hui. Sister Hui made it clear to us that she has been avoiding Concubine Tan very much."

Yun Zhan snorted twice with a smile: "But when the people from Dazai's yamen talked to me, they also said that Sister Hui reminded the princess to check the accounts and be in charge of the house."

Yuan Xiu smiled and threw tea out of her hand: "That can't be blamed on Sister Hui, she refuses to be angry when she is a child, and it is harder to get angry with her than going to heaven. Concubine Tan's words allude to her, so she naturally wants to refute."

"Okay, Sister Hui is still young, what ideas can a ten-year-old child come up with. Now tell me about you, you are the one who brought your sisters-in-law to vent your anger on Princess Jinguo, right? Are you young too?" Yun Zhan raised his eyebrows.

Yuan Xiu thought about it seriously: "That day, that day, why did I go?" Changed the subject in a serious manner: "My joke is over, let's tell your joke."

Yun Zhan curled his lips, Yuan Xiu rolled his eyes at him, Yun Zhan said: "Well, my joke is also simple, Qi Yue threatened to marry the county head of Wang's family in Pingxi County in the northwest."

The secret report had already arrived, and Yun Zhan was bored for several days.

Yuan Xiu didn't smile, but there was resentment on his face, he looked quietly at the son under the candle, the candlelight spread a layer of blush on his face, but his momentum never diminished, her son was always powerful, so he felt that this It's a joke.
Husband and wife sat on both sides of the kang table, Yun Zhan came from the other side, sat next to Yuan Xiu, held her shoulders and said softly, "What's wrong with you?"

"You wouldn't have thought that Brother Yue would do this for Yanyan, and I'd know it as soon as I heard it." Yuan Xiu was extremely sad.

Yun Zhan really couldn't think of it: "From my point of view, you take care of Yanyan very much, don't you? Why is Qi Yue not reassuring?"

"This has nothing to do with my heart. No matter how much I care, Brother Yue is a relative in the eyes of the Nanyang Houfu. Maybe you don't understand that Brother Yue is for Yanyan."

Yun Zhan said with all his strength, "I think I can understand."

He and Yuan Xiu cuddled even tighter, and the couple didn't speak for a while, Yuan Xiu spoke first: "County Lord, are you talented?" Qi Yue was born pretty well.

"Well, there are no ugly people in the Prince's Mansion of Pingxi County." When Yun Zhan said that, he didn't think about his appearance, because he was not handsome, but he was not ugly either.

Yuan Xiu didn't expect that after getting married, she would like her husband very much.He just breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I know Brother Yue, he will treat his wife well, even if Brother Ning has done something wrong, it is easy to change it back. County lord, will she like Brother Yue?"

Yun Zhan caressed her bun: "It's hard for me to say that, Prince Pingxi's temperament is different from others, he may agree to it happily, and may make things difficult for Qi Yue everywhere."

"Oh," Yuanxiu sighed softly.

This matter suddenly turned out to be no joke, and Yun Zhan didn't take advantage of the opportunity of laughing to express himself. He stared at the candle light in ecstasy, feeling unwilling in his heart.

When he was eight years old, he went to the Northwest to join the army. He recognized the Pingxi County King as a character, but he didn't think he would lose again and again.

In response to the blatant expulsion of the inland civil servants by the king of Pingxi County, Yun Zhan once sent several famous people to surrender, and his family moved to the northwest within two years.

It is said that the Northwest is bitterly cold, but those who are willing to go are motivated.

Yun Zhan could imagine that King Pingxi burst into laughter, well, it's not a bad thing to have more scholars in the northwest, so he endured it.

Before agreeing with Qi Yue to go to the Northwest, Yun Zhan was very satisfied with Qi Yue, he was not exaggerated, he had kung fu, and he was the first in the second class with glory.

In the end, meat buns beat dogs again, and Qi Yue planned to be the son-in-law of Prince Pingxi, so he simply became a member of his family.

Scenes of that figure appeared in his mind, and Yun Zhan was unconvinced. Is Pingxi County King so strong?
He was silent for too long, Yuanxiu realized that it was rare for the husband and wife to talk, and she blamed Shizi for being bad. Shizi had never said anything about taking care of Yanyan. She re-boiled the tea and said crisply: "Let's have tea again, I I still have a lot of things to say to you, if you have no more jokes, you can write poems for me."

Yun Zhan came back to his senses, played with Yuan Xiu's hair, and sniffed her hair with a low smile: "Osmanthus oil? Rose sesame oil? Let's guess this, losers drink tea, and wins also drink tea."

Although he lost one game after another, his father-in-law was still in Guxi. Yun Zhan didn't know that Yuan Yuan had said to the king of Pingxi, "You can't help me", and his heart suddenly surfaced. Although you are a hero, And what about my father-in-law He, my father-in-law is the only official left in recent years, and he is highly appreciated in Guxi City.

After taking the tea from Yuan Xiu, Yun Zhan smiled, what can you do to me?
