[Comprehensive] Great martial arts

If it is said how rich Xiahou's family is, no one knows except Xiahou's family.

When ordinary people mention Xiahou's house, they will say that the house of Xiahou's house is made of gold, that the lake in the house does not flow with water but wine, and even a servant lives better than ordinary people and ladies from rich families.

The major sects in Jianghu also know that Xiahou's family is rich, and Xiahou's Huitong bank gathers the world's wealth, and they themselves will save money in the bank.Xiaomen Xiaopai thinks that Xiahou's family is the royal purse, the treasury of the imperial court, and the loan interest in it is not too much, but the procedures are a bit troublesome.

Only the famous and powerful forces will understand that the Xiahou family is the Xiahou family, and the royal family is the royal family. Although the two are usually linked together, they are indeed not one.

It is true that Xiahou's family is the most wealthy in the world, but the amount of money they loan to the royal family every year is horrific.

If it is okay to meet Ming Jun, that is to say, when there is a war in a disaster year, the imperial court will borrow money from the Xiahou family's bank, and will repay it when the treasury is rich.

But if you meet a shameless emperor, you won't change it after taking the money. If you don't have strict discipline, even your sons and grandsons, the messy relatives of the emperor will go to Xiahou's house to ask for money.

Don't ask why Xiahou's family can often marry a princess. Behind their marriage to a princess is a dowry that is almost sky-high.

The reason why Xia Houyan was favored by those princes was not because once she married the daughter of Xiahou's family, not to mention the support of Xiahou's family, money alone was enough to satisfy them.

After hundreds of years, if it is really necessary to calculate how much money the royal family owes Xiahou's family, the silver used to repay the interest can fill up a lake.

Xiahou's family is rich, but since there is such a hungry wolf who is constantly biting and eating by his side, it will never be able to get fat.

And why didn't the royal family swallow up the Xiahou family, which controlled the lifeline of the country's economy? It wanted to, but it didn't have the ability.

Once Xiahou's family falls, the world's finances will be in chaos for at least three years.

And the reason why the Xiahou family has been able to control the wealth of the world for so many years is its perfect system and good credit.

These are all things that the current royal family does not have.

If the royal family takes over the business of Xiahou's family, even if the acceptance goes well, because there are countless moths inside, it will only collapse in the end. As a last resort, the royal family can only keep the fat sheep of Xiahou's family by their side, and the sheep will bite a few bites when it gets a little fatter , It also took a few bites when it was hungry.

Xia Houyan also discovered this fact after reading the family's account book. She was shocked at the royal family's shamelessness and the miserable situation her family was in.

The head of the four great families in the martial arts world, the famous Xiahou family is actually just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

Who would have thought?

The Xiahou family has an account book that is dedicated to recording the money that the royal family has taken from the Xiahou family. The dense numbers on it, the extremely terrifying amount, will make people admire the Xiahou family's ability to make money, and at the same time lament this bad account.

It can never be paid off.

Even if the royal family is really willing to pay back, it will take at least a hundred years to pay off those old debts, but it must be a year with good weather and abundant treasury.

Now the head and heirs of the Xiahou family are almost dead. Although the bank is still running smoothly, the crisis has begun.

The emperor knew the reason why Xiahou's family could not be moved, but his sons who wanted to grab the throne did not necessarily know.The emperor is old, and the prince is entering the prime of life. It is the time when the competition is fierce. They have already set their sights on Xiahou's family before.However, Xia Houyan's father, who was in charge at the time, had long been experienced in dealing with such situations and was impartial, even if he offended everyone.

but now?

Xia Houyan was the only one left, and she was a girl, so she could block many marriage proposals with the name of Shou Xiao, but after these three years passed?

If an ordinary woman has kept her filial piety for three years, after the best time, she might worry about getting married.

But Xia Houyan is absolutely impossible, even if she is seventy or eighty, even if she is ugly, as long as she is the only heir of the Xiahou family, there will be a lot of people who want to marry her, and these people are dragons among men, others want to marry her. A royal child who can't even climb.

Since Xiahou's family had an accident, several princes came to pay their respects in person, and they all saw Xiahouyan, and their expressions were all caring, and some of them married wives. Xu Yizheng is the concubine, but what about the original wife?Xia Houyan didn't ask, but she could guess the result. It is impossible to reconcile in the royal family. Divorcing his wife is too embarrassing. It is estimated that he died accidentally or slowly died of illness.

If he could treat his original wife like this, what would he do to him after he really married himself and got the property of Xiahou's family?

At that time, Xia Houyan's face was still full of the sadness of the loss of her relatives, and she was dealing with the other party, but she sneered in her heart.

I can't believe it anymore, these men.

Before anything happened at home, my mother had given Xia Houyan a list, and there were many names of young talents on it, all of whom were in the same family as Xia Houyan.

If nothing happened, maybe now, Xia Houyan would have to be busy with the blind date.

Well, in fact, she is also dealing with blind dates now, but the purpose is different.

In the original words, I originally planned to find someone to spend my whole life with...

Now... probably choose a temporary substitute?

Xia Houyan was filled with indescribable feelings.

It's just that when facing each other, she has to concentrate her full attention.

She chose the second prince, who ranks third in power among the princes, inferior to the prince and the first prince, but with strong abilities, he has attracted many people. What's more important is that his mother and concubine are weak, and he is short of money. !

The second prince is not a simple character, his background being able to get involved in the battle for the throne shows his ability.

Naturally, Xia Houyan couldn't relax if she wanted to lie to her.

Only half-truth and half-false when speaking can deceive the other party.

"The reason why Xia Houyan chose the second prince to cooperate is that giving charcoal in the snow is more suitable than icing on the cake."

When Xia Houyan talked with the second prince, she didn't show the softness of a lady in the boudoir, but showed some wisdom.

"Xiahou's family is a merchant, so it is natural to choose the one that is most beneficial to you. Don't you think so, Your Highness?"

"Naturally." The second prince, who was about thirty years old but still handsome, picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip gracefully.

A smile appeared on Xia Houyan's face: "However, Your Highness, if I help you, how can you help me? Neither the eldest prince nor the crown prince is a good-tempered person."

The second prince said calmly: "Xiao Liu seems to intend to marry you."

"Concubine Liang intends to marry me." Xia Houyan corrected the second prince's words.

Concubine Liang is the mother concubine of the sixth prince, and she can be regarded as a concubine with some status in the harem.

The second prince said: "It's all the same, you and Xiao Liu are engaged, the crown prince and the eldest prince will not move for now."

"The sixth prince? If you marry him..." In fact, because he is not very smart, the sixth prince has long been excluded from the candidates for the throne, so if he marries the sixth prince, then other people will not think of wooing Xia Houyan , but to win over the sixth prince.

"Your Highness is not worried?"

Should it be said that the second prince is cold-blooded?She was pushed out all at once, making the sixth prince a target of public criticism.

"I believe you."

Obviously, he had never met a few times, and it was the first time to meet alone, so the second prince said such words.

Xia Houyan was stunned for a moment, but she immediately came to her senses, then nodded slightly: "No matter who I marry, my surname is Xiahou."

Anyway, at most it's just an engagement. What she needs to do is to control Xiahou's family and improve the strength of Xiahou's family in these three years.

Really marry that cousin?

She absolutely does not agree.
