I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

Fang Yiyi clicked his tongue, his eyes fell on the beauty beside him again, and said expectantly:

"I don't know what you look like in armor, Xueying."

Lichun then praised him, "Sanlang, you don't know that my general looks so heroic and majestic when he puts on his armor."

"Whenever the general sweeps his eyes, the brothers dare not look him in the eye. The enemy is terrified. He is so majestic!"

With just a few simple words, Fang Yiyi's face showed the image of a majestic female general.

Chai Xueying bit her red lips and said seriously, "I hope there will never be a time when I have to wear armor."

The atmosphere suddenly became serious.

Fang Yiyi quickly changed the subject and asked:

"Lichun, hurry back with a smile on your face and tell me the good news."

Mention business.

Lichun smiled again and chirped:

"Sanlang, General!"

"We've made a lot of money! That's really a treasure trove!"

"The supervisor and the Ministry of Works have conducted a thorough investigation. They found that the surface of the mine is very thin. Some places are only a few inches thick, and some are only half a meter thick. It is very easy to mine."

"They estimated that the entire mountain was covered in coal mines. When I came back, they had already started digging."

Chapter 38: Three Hundred Thousand Strings of Money

Fang Yiyi was not surprised by this result.

Chai Xueying stood up excitedly again and clapped her hands ecstatically, showing her little womanly side.

The excited expression made Fang Yiyi smile gently.

Lichun couldn't help but grab his general's arm, and jumped happily and said:

"General, General, the better news is that Duan Yan, the eldest son of the Duan family, brought a few wealthy merchants with him yesterday. When they saw the coal mine, they directly signed a contract and determined their shares."

"I was asked to bring the contract back to their company, sign it, and pay the deposit."

"Three hundred thousand strings of cash. A full three hundred thousand strings of cash in deposit. The entire deal is worth a million strings of cash!!!"

"We don't have to worry about the widow's support anymore!!!"

This unexpected surprise made Fang Yiyi stand up and said in surprise:

"Three hundred thousand guan in deposit?! A million guan business?!"

Lichun finally came to his senses and hurriedly took the contract out of his armor.

The paper leaves with the girl's body temperature and fragrance made Fang Yiyi overjoyed.

"Okay, okay, really good!"

"Xiao Shuang really helped us a lot. When he comes back, I will treat him to a nice meal!"

The next moment, Fang Yiyi took the contract, hugged Chai Xueying in his arms, and used his arms to hold his wife and spin around happily.

But when he exerted force, the beauty, who weighed only a hundred pounds, seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in his arms, and he could only barely lift her heels off the ground.

In an instant, Fang Yiyi could no longer laugh. His face was filled with pain and depression.

This person is so weak, there is really nothing I can say to complain about him.

Chai Xueying looked at her lover's depressed look, smiled brightly, exerted a little force, and started spinning around in her arms while hugging her husband.

"Husband, I'm so happy!"

"Ma'am, I get it, hurry, put me down, I'm going to vomit!"

"Hehehe, husband, let me turn for a while."

"Stop turning around, let's go get the order money!"

.......

In the afternoon, Fang Yiyi went to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs with Duan Yan's handwritten letter, the Valkyrie of the Tang Dynasty by his side, and a face with the words "Son of Prime Minister Fang" written on it. He easily obtained official permission to mine and sell coal.

Moreover, as everyone was happy about Fang Yiyi's good fortune and generously spent a lot of money, all the officials in charge promised not to tell anyone about the Fang family's acquisition of the coal mine in the near future.

Afterwards, Fang Yiyi took the government's permission, signed contracts with several major trading companies, and received a deposit of 300,000 strings of cash.

When everything was done, it was already dark and four carriages drove towards Fang's mansion.

Sitting in the carriage, Fang Yiyi, who had been busy all day, was tired but in good spirits.

Beside him, Chai Xueying would occasionally look out the window at the carriage behind her that was piled with silk and coins, her eyes full of nervousness and happiness.

Fang Yiyi couldn't help but joked: "Wife, it's only 300,000 strings of cash, why are you so nervous?"

"When we earn millions or tens of millions of strings of cash in the future, will you have to personally guard the treasury in the accounting office?"

"Hmph!" Chai Xueying pouted unhappily and waved her fist: "I'm not stupid, I'll exchange all these for gold and make a golden bed, so that I can sleep on it and keep watch."

A bed made of gold is a lovely idea, but it’s not impossible!

Fang Yiyi scratched her snowy nose lovingly and said:

"Okay, okay, let's build a golden bed!"

"With more money, we can build a golden house!"

Chapter 39 Thank You, Husband

Hee hee hee!

Chai Xueying was so happy that the person she loved was playing with her that she laughed out loud. Then she immediately whispered in a sweet voice:

"Thank you, husband!"

The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei.

Dongyuan Study.

Fang Xuanling, who had worked hard because of the border war and the cold disaster, had bloodshot eyes and a face full of fatigue.

Even so, he still had no intention of taking a break. He worked diligently under the flickering candlelight by night.

"Master, someone is here to cause trouble!"

The butler walked quickly to Fang Xuanling, looked at the wise prime minister of the Tang Dynasty with heartache, and reminded him in a low voice.

Fang Xuanling stretched out his hand and rubbed his brows. Without looking up, he continued to look at the memorial in his hand and asked in a tired voice:

"Who? What's the matter?"

Butler Lao Liu considered his words, ignored Cui's arrogance, and said:

"He is from the Bofang of Cui Clan of Boling."

"It is said that Sanlang agreed to go to Bofang to pay back the money today."

"But I haven't seen you all day, so I came to your house to ask."

"Sanlang is not in the house, and they thought he was making excuses, so they requested to see you."

In an instant, Fang Xuanling raised his head, and disappointment appeared in his tired eyes.

The housekeeper saw it clearly and felt extremely distressed.

The man in front of him, who is over fifty years old, has devoted his life to the Tang Dynasty and is known as a good and wise minister. He is respected by everyone in the Tang Dynasty.

But he gave birth to two good-for-nothings. No matter how he taught them, whether with harsh words or gentle persuasion, they would only cause trouble.

At present, I thought Sanlang had become more mature and stable after his marriage.

Unexpectedly, he still spoke nonsense and deceived Prime Minister Fang.

As an old servant in the mansion, he was filled with anger, sadness and extreme disappointment when he learned about this.

What’s more, Fang Xuanling is my grandfather.

How sad and disappointed must these parents feel?

Squeak!

The heavy pear blossom chair made a harsh sound when rubbing against the stone slabs.

Fang Xuanling frowned, said nothing, and walked out.

The butler sighed and followed him towards the main hall of the mansion.

Cui Hao, the debt collector who appeared in Zui Xiang Pavilion last time, was standing respectfully behind an old man.

Cui Haoran, an elder from a branch of the Cui family of Boling, had a square face and a head full of white beard. Although he was old, he was in very good shape. He stood calmly in the center of the main hall, demonstrating his extraordinary demeanor.

When he heard the footsteps, Cui Haoran smiled and saluted Fang Xuanling, saying calmly:

"I have met Fang Xiang."

Fang Xuanling looked at Cui Haoran and slowed down his pace. In his mind, a high-spirited figure overlapped with the old man in front of him. He said uncertainly:

"But Brother Xuezhong?"

A smile appeared on Cui Haoran's face, and a flash of reminiscence flashed across his eyes.

He smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for decades. You have become a wise minister of the Tang Dynasty. Congratulations."

Fang Xuanling's tired face revealed the joy of meeting an old friend.

But the next moment, Cui Haoran's words made his face turn pale.

Cui Haoran put his hands behind his back and said arrogantly:

"Xuanling, let's put aside the reminiscence for now."

"I came here this time to collect debts for my Cui family."

"Your son Fang Yiyi owes me, Cui, 481 strings of cash. He is ten days overdue. I will let it go for your sake."

"He has already paid back one guan, and there is still a shortfall of 480 guan. Please pay it all back tonight."

When meeting an old friend, he often comes to collect a debt.

It's the debt owed by my good-for-nothing and rebellious son.

How could Fang Xuanling, as a father who had failed to educate his son, hold his head up in front of his old friends?

For Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, having someone come to his house to collect debts was already very embarrassing.

In addition, the old friend came in person to collect the debt, and Fang Xuanling was really humiliated and disgraced.

Chapter 40 The couple returns hand in hand

Fang Xuanling's disappointment with Fang Yiyi deepened again.

Without any hesitation, he said in a deep voice:

"Lao Liu, go to the accounting office to withdraw money."

"Yes, sir!"

The butler should leave.

Fang Xuanling, with a gloomy face, said to Cui Haoran distantly:

"Brother Xuezhong, I have something important to attend to, so I can't stay any longer. Please do as you please."

After saying that, Fang Xuanling turned and left.

Cui Haoran didn't say anything, but a mocking look appeared on his face.

So what if he was a famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty? Even if he was just a branch of the Boling Cui family, he was still a member of the Boling Cui family, and they were in the right. Even if Fang Xuanling was angry, he had to endure it.

As soon as Fang Xuanling walked out of the main hall, he saw the young couple returning hand in hand.

Thinking about the fact that Fang Yiyi had not repaid the debt, but said that he had already dealt with it, he deceived him.

The disappointment and sadness in his heart made him feel a pang of pain in his heart.
