Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

This explanation instantly confirmed Xun Yu's guess.

"Jiaojiao must have done something to please this young lady from the Yuan family."

"Yes, we might be about to do something big, which will probably surprise Wenruo."

"Do you need my help?"

Xun Yu didn't ask what the specifics were, but instead started chatting about the topic.

"I plan to buy a piece of land and build a large fortified village, preferably large enough to accommodate several thousand people."

Considering the cost of constructing the fortified village, which could accommodate several thousand people, Xun Yu couldn't help but wonder how much money he had left in his private treasury.

Then, Xun Yu's face flushed slightly.

"I can probably only help Jiaojiao with half the money to build the fortified village, and there are many things in the house that cannot be sold."

These words prompted Tang Yu to lean forward and kiss Xun Yu's face several times.

"Wenruo, don't be so cute. If I'm going to do this, I definitely can't just let you pay for it. I have ways to make money."

Chapter 9 Xun Yu of the Three Kingdoms

Excluding her cousins, Tang Yu had only two brothers from the same mother.

One is her elder brother, Tang Mao, who is more than ten years older than her. He is currently serving as an official in another region and has brought his family with him.

One is her second brother, Tang Xuan, who is five years older than her and is now in his early twenties. He is currently at home taking care of his parents and got married last year.

As for sisters, Tang Yu had none.

Therefore, when Tang Yu returned to the Tang family, the only direct relatives she could see were her mother, Wang, and her second brother and his wife.

Xun Yu was warmly welcomed by the Tang family, mainly because he was exceptionally handsome and charming.

In addition, his talent and background made the Tang family extremely satisfied with this son-in-law.

That evening, Xun Yu was dragged away by Tang Yu's second elder brother, Tang Xuan, to drink and chat.

Tang Yu, meanwhile, accompanied her mother for a walk and chat in the courtyard.

"Your elder brother is now appreciated by his superiors, and he may have the opportunity to become a prefect in a few years. In this way, the Tang family can be said to have regained its footing."

But your second brother is really clueless; he's studied for so many years, but hasn't absorbed a single word.

If someone were to be appointed as an official, wouldn't they become a laughingstock to the world?

But if I were to live like this for the rest of my life, I would truly be unwilling to accept it.

Listening to her mother's words, Tang Yu thought of the Taiping Dao.

“Mother, my second brother’s ambitions lie elsewhere. He is better at other things, so there’s no need to force him.”

"But he's fond of business and associates with merchants regularly, becoming tainted with the stench of money. If the Tang family continues like this, what will become of the family's reputation?"

In the eyes of people in this era, being a merchant was considered a lowly profession.

If a family wants to become a top-tier aristocratic family, it absolutely cannot engage in business itself.

“Mother, but I think my second brother’s abilities can help our family preserve its foundation.”

The emperor is incompetent, the world is in chaos, and the country is likely to descend into disorder soon.

The Tang family should now stockpile grain and cloth, cultivate relationships with chivalrous heroes, train soldiers, and ideally, secretly forge weapons to prepare for the future.

Upon hearing this, Wang was greatly alarmed.

"Yu'er, does the Xun family possess some secret information about the imperial court?"

Tang Yu did not answer directly, but instead gave a pointed hint.

"Mother, do you know about the Way of Peace?"

Wang nodded.

"The number of believers in Yingchuan Taipingdao has increased considerably in recent years."

“Mother, the followers of the Way of Peace are all over the world, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. This group of people will definitely rebel in the next few years.”

When the world descends into chaos, Yingchuan will be in danger. We must prepare in advance…

Tang Yu didn't know exactly when the Yellow Turban Rebellion occurred, but it was definitely in the following years.

As the matriarch, even if Lady Wang wasn't very familiar with the political situation at court, she understood that the world was no longer a peaceful and prosperous era.

Therefore, Tang Yu's words immediately made Wang Shi worried. If chaos were to come, she would definitely have to find a way to protect the family.

Her daughter had never cared about anything since she was little. She seemed well-behaved, but in reality, she was very intelligent and had her own opinions. So, Wang asked anxiously.

"What else do you think should be done at home, Yu'er?"

Tang Yu talked a lot with his mother about future plans that day. Gold, silver and jade artifacts were not as valuable as food and weapons.

In chaotic times, only those who wield knives have the right to speak reasonably; without weapons to protect themselves, they are nothing more than fat sheep to be slaughtered.

There are fortified villages in the countryside of Tangjia. Tang Yu suggested building two more fortified villages to hide food and weapons in different locations and to gather talent, especially skilled craftsmen.

At the same time, we will set up a business, but we need to find a pseudonym to represent the Tang family and we don't need to be high-profile for the time being.

Make friends with more brave and chivalrous men, and train a group of elite guards. In case things really get chaotic, these people can protect the safety of the fortified village.

This is all from the perspective of self-preservation.

After all, Tang Yu couldn't very well say at this time that we were preparing to rebel, as that would frighten the Tang family.

But since we're going down this path, we'll definitely have to drag the Tang family onto this big ship.

So let the Tang family accumulate strength first, and Tang Yu will handle the rest secretly.

When Tang Yu returned to his bedroom to rest that night, Xun Yu had already been waiting inside for a while.

He had already washed up, but he still smelled of alcohol and his face was slightly flushed.

Did my second brother get you a lot of alcohol?

Xun Yu grasped Tang Yu's hand and nodded, his smile appearing somewhat blank at that moment.

"My second brother treats Yu with great enthusiasm. He repeatedly told me to take good care of you. How could I bear to let Jiaojiao suffer even the slightest misfortune?"

Jiaojiao, you are so outstanding. Sometimes you are as distant as the bright moon in the sky, beautiful and dazzling. I am often afraid that someone will take you away from me.

If I were to treat you badly in the slightest, I would probably lose you immediately. But my brother doesn't know this, and he's actually worried that I'm not treating you well.

In this world, no one would bear to see you suffer even the slightest grievance, not even me…

After saying this, Xun Yu couldn't help but bury his head in Tang Yu's neck and kiss him affectionately.

"I'm the one who's filled with anxiety. I just hope that Jiaojiao will treat me well for the rest of my life..."

"Jiaojiao won't abandon me when she sees other handsome young men in the future, right?"

The drunken Xun Yu was so dazed. Tang Yu looked at the person who was kissing her cheek passionately, and she smiled and reached out to hug him.

"Why would you have such a suspicion? Why are you worried that some other boy might steal me away?"

Wenruo should be confident! You're so outstanding and so beautiful!

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Xun Yu pressed the person next to him down, then reached out and removed the hairpin, revealing her disheveled black hair, creating a captivating and enchanting scene.

"I know all that. Jiaojiao actually prefers my looks..."

After Xun Yu finished speaking, his fingers slowly stroked from his cheek to his hair, and then moved to his neck and gently caressed it.

Tang Yu couldn't help but shudder slightly, her body becoming somewhat itchy.

"Wenruo is naturally beautiful, it would be abnormal for me to dislike her..."

Xun Yu chuckled at these words, then lowered his head and kissed the soft lips. The wonderful taste often made him want to be unrestrained and reckless.

"Jiaojiao...do you only like me, please..."

The hoarse voice beside her was already a little breathless, and Tang Yu took the initiative to respond. Before they knew it, the kiss had become ambiguous and passionate.

The air between their skin was thick with heat, and their whole bodies felt soft and melting, yet they still craved an even more intense and passionate intimacy.

"Jiaojiao...this room seems to be filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms, it's all about you, everything about you..."

She has lived in this house for over ten years, so naturally it has absorbed her essence.

However, Xun Yu's words in this situation carried a sense of tenderness and longing.

Tang Yu smiled, tilted his head back, and affectionately kissed Xun Yu's eyes. Xun Yu seemed to be stimulated and instantly became wild and unrestrained.

Her thoughts seemed to be shattered, yet she could clearly feel the lingering affection in him each time. She could only hold onto Xun Yu with all her might, tears welling up in her eyes, which eventually turned into sobs and gasps.

"Jiaojiao, do you like it? Do you want more...?"

Tang Yu felt that Xun Yu, who was slightly drunk tonight, was more crazy and unrestrained than ever before, and she couldn't stand this extreme intimacy.

He seemed like a different person, so domineering and clingy that he made her feel weak and powerless.

"Wenruo, there is no one else, only you..."

After this promise was made, Xun Yu smiled gently and emotionally.

Chapter 10 Xun Yu of the Three Kingdoms

The next day, Tang Yu went to see her second brother, Tang Xuan, because she had something to discuss with him.

"What exactly did you say to Mother yesterday? Today, when Mother saw me, she actually told me that I no longer need to try to enter an official career, but instead want me to take over more of the family's affairs?"

Tang Xuan's words made Tang Yu laugh. She repeated what she had said yesterday, and Tang Xuan was indeed taken aback.

"Has it really come to this? Little sister, what should I do? Mother told me today that I should listen to you from now on."

From a young age, you've always enjoyed having people research things. To others, those might seem like just strange and ingenious tricks, but I think they're very useful in life.

I find Confucian scholars incredibly hypocritical, which is why I dislike reading and have no desire to enter officialdom. Fortunately, you understand me, little sister.

"My second brother's insight is beyond what ordinary people can understand. Everything in this world has its purpose, and my second brother naturally has the ability to change this world."
