steal bi

No matter how you say it, Yuan Zanbi is a child of the Yuan family, and doing so will put Yuan Zanbi in a dilemma.

Normally, it does.

But obviously, Yuan Zanbi's behavior cannot be measured by normality.

The greeting card landed lightly on the table.

Qiao Yu said casually, "Lin Miao is dead."

Yuan Zan raised his eyes.

"Before he died, he said that he was also entrusted by someone. As for who entrusted him, he didn't know who it was." Qiao Yu frowned slightly. His family." He casually grabbed a jade leaf from the golden tree, "In this way, Lin Miao will probably meet his family soon."

There are too many people who want to kill him and let Yuanzanbi monopolize power, and there are too many high-ranking and powerful people in Zhongzhou, and Qiao Yu offends even more people. For a while, he couldn't think of anyone who hated him more .

He handed the jade leaf to Yuan Zanbi.

The Yuanzan pen took over, and the jade edge was filed into gold, gleaming and extremely rich.

Qiao Yu was lying in the pile of jewels, and when she was thinking about it with a blank expression, she looked like a beautiful woman in a fine attire.

"Tomorrow morning, I will go with you." Qiao Yu said.

Yuan Zanbi reminded after hearing the sound: "Qiao Xiang, this is a family banquet."

Qiao Yu smiled, her eyes flickered, she was so beautiful that she said, "Mr. Yuan and I are married on the fingertips, so I can be regarded as half a wife."

Yuan Zanbi was used to him being so straightforward, so he just nodded his head in agreement.

……

Yuan Xiuyan was the host, and the place was chosen to be extremely elegant and remote. The car was parked at the door, and there was a beautiful girl leading the way.

The courtyard is quite large, and all the pavilions and waterside pavilions are exquisite. Most of the houses are built on the water. There are a few golden and red koi in the water, which are fat and big. A girl with no hair tied is sitting by the water and feeding the fish. Innocent and natural, she was naked, and her exposed skin seemed to be a piece of white jade.

When they came, they saw people cannibalizing each other, and when they arrived in Shaoling, where the situation was supposed to be the worst, what they saw was indeed rich and peaceful.

Yuan Xiuyan had been waiting for them in the water pavilion.

The water pavilion is lightly caged by tulle, most of the sunlight is blocked from the outside, but four fist-sized pearls are inlaid in the four corners of the inside, and the light is soft.

There is no incense burner in the water pavilion, but there are bursts of incense, which seems to be the aroma from the gauze curtain.

Seeing the two of them coming, Yuan Xiuyan got up and said, "Qiao Xiang, Mr. Yuan." He called the words politely, but the smile on his face was warm, as if he had never embarrassed him in the street without the Yuanzan pen.

There is no one else in the seat except Yuan Xiuyan.

The two took their seats.

Seeing Qiao Yu looking out through the light veil, Yuan Xiuyan said, "You don't have to worry, Mr. Qiao. This is Yuan's private house, and no one knows about it."

Qiao Yu said, "The scenery in the garden is nice."

Yuan Xiuyan followed his gaze, and only saw the girl playing with the water and feeding the fish.

He understood, and ordered something to the attendant in a low voice, and then smiled: "I thought there was only Zanbi alone, but I didn't expect Xiang Xiang to go with him. The hospitality is not good, please forgive me."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan is polite."

The father of this Mr. Yuanxiu Yanyuan is the vice governor of Qingzhou, Yuan Qinghui. He wrote a letter of worship to Yuan Zan, and it is most likely Yuan Qinghui's meaning.

With Yuan Zhanbi's official position, Yuan Qinghui should have personally presided over this family banquet, but Yuan Zhanbi's background was dishonorable and he was a junior, so Yuan Qinghui didn't come forward.

The girl entered the water pavilion barefoot, and there was a string of delicate jade bells around her white and slender ankles. Xiuyan motioned, and walked to Qiao Yu's side in small steps, and knelt beside Qiao Yu like a cat, without speaking.

Qiao Yu moved calmly and looked at Yuan Zanbi.

As a result, Yuan Zanbi was concentrating on talking to Yuan Xiuyan and didn't even look at it.

Yuan Xiuyan sighed softly: "The hairpin pen, Qingzhou is really not a good place to come from."

Yuan Zan pen said lightly: "Eat the king's salary, share the king's worries."

The two were quite close and seemed to be talking about something.

Qiao Yu hated the contact of others so much that he was unwilling to even give the emperor face. When others talked to him, he just talked, and very few people came within three steps.

Being too close would make him unable to help but think of the torture equipment and the executioner in the quiet room. He didn't even need to breathe, as if he could still smell the burnt smell of the branding iron on his skin.

The girl poured wine for Qiao Yu, and brought the glass to Qiao Yu's mouth.

Qiao Yu didn't drink, so she kept smiling and raised the cup over her eyebrows, not like a living person, but more like a delicately carved shelf.

Qiao Yu's gaze signaled her to put it down.

The girl didn't seem to see it.

In her world, only Yuan Xiuyan's words are orders, and she will let go only when Yuan Xiuyan says to let go.

She poured wine for many guests, some of them took it with a smile, and did not forget to praise Yuan Xiuyan for her beauty, some of them hugged the singer for fun, and let her take it for half an hour.

There are too many beauties like her in the garden. She is like a common object. If it is not easy to use, it will naturally be replaced with a newer and more beautiful one.

So she looked calm and raised her wine glass without complaint.

If Qiao Yu is a lunatic with a beautiful appearance, then this girl has already been trained to become a beautiful fool

Qiao Yu tilted her head, her lips brushed against the edge of the white jade cup.

Yuan Zan just tilted his head to watch him drink up the wine in his glass.

Qiao Yu lowered his eyes, his eyelashes were densely pressed down, he was expressionless, indifferent and beautiful, the slender girl beside him put down the wine glass, poured wine for him, and the wind moved the veil, most of Qiao Yu was in the light, appearing blurry.

Yuan Zan was stunned for a moment, only to feel a very slight pain in his chest, as if a file had been sharpened.

If nothing happened to the Qiao family, then based on Mrs. Qiao's doting on Qiao Yu, he should be like this when he grows up. He probably has no education and skill, but he has a beautiful skin, and he spends his life idle and unaware of the safety of the world.

Yuan Xiuyan didn't seem to understand Yuanzan's pen, sighed, drank two glasses of wine, his eyes were red, and said: "Your brother was in power back then, how glorious is it? Prince Taifu of the year, the emperor even brought your brother into the ancestral temple to worship the ancestors, saying that your brother is the prime minister of all ages, so honored and favored, did the emperor keep him in the case of Ningyou? You and I both know that the rebellion of the Ningyou party is Nonsense, but what about nonsense? Didn’t the Shen family, the Chen family, and the Bai family still show the so-called evidence to kill the Ningyou party members? Throughout the 300 years of the Great Wei, how many people can have the power of your brother? But Yuan Zhanying finally resigned from office and went on a tour of the world. Zanbi, you and I are not of the same blood, but we have the same surname after all. The situation in Qingzhou is complicated. Although it is not as dangerous as Zhongzhou, it is not something you can shake. After the Ningyou case, the Yuan clan seldom served as officials in Zhongzhou, so you are one of the rare ones, and I don’t want to see you repeat the same mistakes.”

Yuan Xiuyan can be described as earnest.

Qiao Yu was playing with the white jade wine glass, the jade and fingers were as delicate and fair as they were indistinguishable.

Qingzhou has declined to such an extent, but the aristocratic family has not been affected at all, which shows its heritage.

It has always been the luck of the country's unfortunate family. Most of the money, food, and various supplies sent by the imperial court for disaster relief have flowed into the hands of the family, and some of them have been exploited by officials at all levels, and the rest will be transported to the common people.

Qiao Yu remembered what Mei Yingxian said when she came in the middle of the night, and suddenly smiled.

Mei Yingxian said coldly: "Sixty percent went to the aristocratic family, thirty percent went to officials at all levels, and another ten percent went to the common people."

Qiao Yu said thoughtfully, "It's really a good deal with huge profits."

Seeing that he was indifferent, Mei Yingxian said, "Why don't you just collude with the aristocratic family? With the power of your lord, it's not too difficult to get [-]%."

Qiao Yu smiled, and the light dazzled people's eyes, "It's true that I have such a plan, but it's a pity that I came from a humble background. What do you think of Mrs. Mei? Ah," he sighed very artificially, "Forgetting your lord is also considered the same." My party."

Mei Yingqin was so annoyed that Yuan Zanbi, who was silent, actually found it very pleasing to the eye.

"Lifty percent is already a conscience, and you can also join forces with the bandits, intercept the food, and then join forces with various families to suppress the bandits, or the bandits are simply disguised as your own guards, so that not only do you not need to share accounts, but you can also ask the government for extra food and grass to suppress the bandits Fee." Mei Yingxian said.

Mei Yingqin knew about these things a long time ago, but he knew very well that he couldn't close them, even the emperor couldn't solve them, so why should he place his hopes on him, a military officer from a humble background?What's more, Qingzhou doesn't have a capable army. He stayed in Qingzhou and was promoted and demoted. He was extremely disappointed with the court, drinking and having fun every day, just being a wealthy idler.

If Qingzhou hadn't been suddenly breached by the rebels, he wouldn't have run so fast because he was afraid of punishment.

When mentioning Yuan Zanying, Yuan Zanbi seemed to be a little shaken, and said: "Mr. Qiao and I have already arrived in Qingzhou. I'm afraid there is no way to turn back."

Yuan Xiuyan shook his head and said: "Qingzhou is a chronic disease of the country, and it cannot be corrected overnight by manpower. Even if the hairpin pen is unable to recover, it is justifiable." The prime minister speaks before His Majesty." He just barely made it clear that he would save the two of them.

"The hairpin pen, as time goes on and the stars move, there is no immortality in the world, but we are the only ones waiting," he said in a very low voice, "it can coexist with the evergreen dynasty."

The dynasty will eventually collapse, only the family will last forever.

In the past, Yuan Ya single-handedly forged the glory of the family, but Yuan Zanying, the direct descendant of Yuan Ya, wanted to smash all these glory one by one. How can people tolerate this?

Yuan Xiuyan waited for Yuan Zanbi's answer.

The girl's foot bell rang softly, and the Yuanzan pen saw a completely different hell on earth from this place through the Yuanxiu Research Institute. When they came to Qingzhou, the refugees were as thin as bones, the bones of the girl who had been gnawed to death, and Members of the Ningyou party on the execution ground, it rained heavily that day, and the blood was almost foggy.

Qiao Yu looked at him from a few steps away.

Yuan Zanbi said in a very gentle, seemingly negotiating tone: "It's just the king's order, so you must definitely not return without success."

Yuan Xiuyan finally laughed easily, and said with a promise: "The two of you will not return without success. I know that the most important thing in Qingzhou right now is food, and I specially prepared [-] dans of food to solve the problem of Shaoling. urgent."

Four thousand dan is [-] catties of grain. The most common sergeant of the Qingzhou Army is [-] yuan a month, which is half a tan of grain when converted into a daily grain price. Four thousand dan is not enough for the monthly salary of the Qingzhou Army.

But these four thousand dan can really solve the urgent need, let alone not only the Yuan family?

If all the clans contributed some, and counting the relief from the court, at least before Yuan Zanbi and Qiao Yu left, there would not be so many people starving to death in the city still under the control of the court.

After Yuan Zanbi and Qiao Yu returned to Zhongzhou, each family signed a joint letter, not only did Yuan Qiao and Qiao Yu have no faults, they might have meritorious deeds.

Qiao Yu took the jug from the young girl's hand, poured wine for herself, and said with a smile, "Four thousand tans is too little."

Yuan Xiu wondered why: "Qingzhou has experienced natural disasters for years, and we can't make ends meet, not to mention there are so many people to support."

The girl's face was still extremely pure and innocent.

Qiao Yu said, "One hundred thousand."

Yuan Xiuyan's complexion changed suddenly, and he said, "The hairpin pen."

Yuan Zanbi said softly: "Qiao Xiang, one hundred thousand is too much." He seemed to compromise, "The natural disaster in Qingzhou, even the aristocratic family can't afford that much for a while. How about fifty thousand?"

Qiao Yu seemed to be extremely generous, and folded the number Qiao Yu proposed, but it was more than ten times the number Yuan Xiuyan said.

Yuan Xiuyan shook his head and said, "No."

Qiao Yu smiled and said: "The truth is that the lives of the various clans are difficult," he always spoke in such a way that people couldn't tell whether it was sincerity or yin and yang, "I can't bear to let the family come out."

Yuan Xiuyan's expression turned pale, and Qiao Yu said in the next moment, "Master Yuan and Master Yuan specially prepared a gift, and please ask Mr. Yuan to help carry it in."

Qiao Yu specifically mentioned him and the Yuanzan pen, and the intention of dragging the Yuanzan pen into the water was very obvious.

Yuan Xiuyan was astonished, but still ordered someone to carry the things they brought in.

Qiao Yu leaned back with a relaxed posture.

There is no part of his body that does not reveal his demeanor. The exquisite ornaments on his body are far more like a man of aristocratic family than the Yuanzan pen. The clothes are complicated and overlapping, but such clothes can still be seen. Qiao Yu has a narrow waist. There is a jade pendant in the middle, the jade color is clear, and there is a small sachet, I don't know what is in it, the girl is by his side, and she doesn't smell the fragrance.

The only thing that didn't fit in with him was a small purse, which was well washed, the color was soft pink, a little whitish, and the stitches were not delicate, but a little rough.

The girl's eyes widened instantly.

She was still smiling and sitting beside Qiao Yu, but tears were falling drop by drop along those big and bright eyes.

But she didn't say anything, and the smile seemed to be sewn onto her face.

Yuan Xiuyan frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Yu said casually: "The curtain scratched her eyes." His fingers tightly clenched the gauze curtain, which looked white and blue, as if he was extremely bored, he tore off the gauze curtain.

Covered his head and face.

The sun shines in.

Yuan Xiuyan: "..."

He was silent for a moment and looked at Yuan Zanbi, who just smiled helplessly.

Under the veil, Qiao Yu's face was hazy, he tore it off impatiently, and threw it behind him.

Most of the gauze curtain was blown into the water, while the other half was still entwined on the railing. The gauze floated on the water surface, and there were golden and red koi swimming around below, not afraid of movement at all.

Tears rolled down her cheeks.

The thing was carried in quickly, and it seemed to be heavy. The servants walked slowly, for fear of breaking it a little.

Yuan Xiuyan looked up.

Qiao Yu untied her purse and threw it to her.

The airy girl who had been smiling quietly all the time looked back at Yuan Xiuyan who was staring at the box, and quickly wrapped the purse in her sleeve.

She suddenly met Yuan Zanbi's eyes, flinched violently, and took two breaths before calming down.

Perhaps for him, people with the surname Yuan have a silent deterrent.

The servant opened the box.

A beam of precious light illuminated Yuan Xiuyan's face.

He watched intently as more than a dozen boxes were opened, all of which were rare treasures in the world.

One of the beautiful heads is even more exquisite. The jade is delicate, the lines are moist, and the eyes are half closed.

The most important thing is that the beauty head was sent by him.

Yuan Xiuyan turned her head stiffly and said, "Forgive me for being stupid, I don't understand what Qiao Xiang means."

Qiao Yu said solemnly: "Here are the collections of Mr. Yuan and I for many years. They are all rare treasures in the world, and they are extremely loved. But because human life is at stake, it is not easy to take things from Mr. Yuan and other families for nothing. Take the things out and use them as collateral for the sale, and ask Mr. Yuan to find a shop for Mr. Yuan and Mr. Yuan, and sell them there."

Yuan Xiuyan was dumbfounded, as if he didn't expect Qiao Yu to be so brazen.

Where is the perennial favorite?These are the things that the family gave them these few days!

Moreover, Qiao Yu's every word and every word is not separated from the Yuanzan pen, which obviously made it impossible for them to take out the Yuanzan pen.

Yuan Xiuyan clenched his fists, and managed to force a smile, "In that case, I'll ask someone to estimate the price."

How could these things be on the market?Even if it is possible, who else in Qingzhou can afford it besides these aristocratic families?

Qiao Yu just wanted whoever gave the gift would spend money to buy it back. These gifts not only include jade and jewelry, rare medicinal materials, but also original works of everyone, and some things that can't be put on the table. Knowing the hobbies of the two of them, there are naturally all kinds of things, so it's okay to give them away privately, but it's embarrassing to show them off in public.

Moreover, the most important thing is that if you don't buy it, you will definitely offend Yuanzanbi and Qiao Yu, which is what they don't want to see.

Qiao Yu raised his hand and said, "There's no need for a valuation."

He motioned to a servant to pick up the beauty's head.

The servant hesitated for a while, saw Yuan Xiuyan nodding, and then went to pick up the beauty's head portrait.

Below is this document.

Qiao Yu said, "Pick it up and read."

Yuan Xiuyan said: "You don't need to read it, just take it here."

One person took the document to Yuan Xiuyan.

He opened the document, and what he saw was the incomparably beautiful font, which seemed to indicate the gift giver's life, birthplace and clan, which was also valuable.

Of course, this value was written by Qiao Yu casually.

[-] loads.
