From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

"Young Master is really blessed."

Cai Ni sat beside Zhou Yuan, smiling and said, "The Pure Yang Wuji Kungfu is the supreme internal power of Taoism. How many martial arts masters dream of it, but never get it."

"As long as you practice it day by day, you will definitely benefit a lot. Martial arts is secondary."

Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "Do you want to learn it, Cai Ni? I will teach you secretly, and the master will definitely not know."

Cai Ni was startled, and then lowered her head: "Young Master has that intention, Cai Ni is already very happy, but I already have The method of cultivation cannot be found in another way. "

Zhou Yuan nodded and said: "By the way, Cai Ni, you should know Yunzhou City very well, right? I want to ask something about the Xue family."

Cai Ni was slightly stunned, then giggled and said: "Is it about the Xue family, or about Miss Xue Ningyue."

"Why does Cai Ni have such a question?"

Cai Ni said: "Who doesn't know that during the poetry meeting and outing, Miss Ningyue ran desperately towards the young master. She has her own ideas."

Zhou Yuan couldn't help but cough twice and said: "The beauty has good intentions, I can't let them down. I want to know about their family situation."

Cai Ni threw a coquettish glance and whispered: "Young Master, you never asked about Cai Ni's situation. Could it be that Cai Ni is not as good as Xue Ningyue?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Don't make a fuss. I am interested in Miss Cai Ni, but not in the organization behind her. The vortex is too big. I am afraid that I can't get out if I get in!"

But Cai Ni's face turned cold and said: "It's a pity that Cai Ni is in the vortex. If you are afraid that you will be affected by me one day, why bother to meet me?"

"Hey, don't say angry words. "

Zhou Yuan quickly took her hand and said in a deep voice: "Look at you, I didn't say I was afraid of you getting involved."

"To like someone should be pure, no matter if you are stunningly beautiful or a mediocre woman; no matter if you are rich enough to rival a country or heavily in debt; no matter if you are in a high position or are not tolerated by the world... If I like you, I will also like your life experience, your past, your misfortune, your situation, your ideals, everything about you, and everything related to you."

Speak to people in a human way and speak to ghosts in a ghost way, the essence is here.

When facing a lady, it is an ideal situation to talk about, and when facing a courtesan, it is the right answer to say sweet words.

Those earthy love words and literary and hypocritical confessions on the Internet in the previous life are simply a killing in this era.

Cai Ni's body was shaking, her eyes suddenly turned red, and her tears were clear. She couldn't help but throw herself into Zhou Yuan's arms and cry out.

"Young Master... Young Master..."

"With your words, Cai Ni would be willing to die."

It's time to seize the opportunity.

Zhou Yuan gently touched her hair and said softly: "Silly girl, what's the matter with death? It's so unlucky. I hope that when you are old and gray, I can still hold you and say such words to you."

Another critical hit!

Cai Ni was dizzy from what he said. When she raised her head, her face was flushed. She said firmly: "Cai Ni will definitely wait for that day!"

The face in his arms was so beautiful that Zhou Yuan couldn't help but hold her face and kissed it gently.

For a while, the two seemed to have forgotten everything.

Until Cai Ni exclaimed: "Young Master, don't...ah!"

Zhou Yuan's hand had slipped into her clothes without knowing when, and started playing a massage game. The two snowmen wearing red hats were shaken by him, almost suffocating Cai Ni.

She looked at Zhou Yuan pitifully and murmured, "Young Master..."

Zhou Yuan said, "So, what is the situation of the Xue family?"

Cai Ni was too embarrassed to see anyone, and buried her head in his arms, saying, "Xue Changyue was born in the mud, and later joined the army. Step by step, he became a vanguard general, and later became the governor of Datong."

"Eleven years ago, he was defeated and demoted to a civilian, so he returned to his hometown in Yunzhou."

"The family was originally very rich, but most of it was distributed to the soldiers under his command, and he also supported the families of dozens of personal guards, which was very expensive."

Zhou Yuan frowned, the governor of Datong, from the second rank, a frontier official!

Is my little Ningyue so powerful!

Xue Changyue is a ruthless person. He actually spent all his family wealth to support his former subordinates. If this matter is heard by the emperor, it will be a taboo!

Cai Ni continued, "When we first returned to Yunzhou, the Xue family opened two restaurants. The business was very good, but gradually they could not compete with other restaurants. Although they were still profitable, they were already stretched to the limit in the face of huge expenses."

"The Xue family is now just an empty shell, relying on two restaurants to hold on, but it is about to collapse."

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Who is the main competitor of the Xue family?"

"Fengming Tower."

Cai Ni panted and said, "Fengming Tower has a great influence in the entire Jiangnan area, settled in Yunzhou in recent years, snatching a large number of customers, Xue's Baiyanlou can't hold on. "

"But recently there is news that the two families seem to be getting married. Maybe the Xue family made a compromise to keep Baiyanlou alive."

Zhou Yuan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he found the key.

He said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by compromise? In this case, how did the Xue family persuade the other party to get married?"

Cai Ni murmured: "Marriage is what the Xue family said, but in fact it is marrying a daughter as a concubine."

"Concubine?"

Zhou Yuan didn't even feel like making a snowman. He couldn't help but stand up and glared: "Did I hear it right? Be a concubine? The Xue family is a big family after all, how could it be..."

Cai Ni also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly tidied up her clothes, then smiled and said: "Are you distressed, sir?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Don't make a fuss, tell me the details quickly. "

Cai Ni sighed and said, "The Xue family has so many people to support. Once the source of income is cut off, I'm afraid something big will happen."

"Fengming Tower has made concessions. As long as Xue Ningyue becomes a concubine, Baiyan Tower will be promoted and a monthly profit of 1,000 taels of silver will be guaranteed."

"In addition, the young master of Fengming Tower is a talented scholar from Lin'an Prefecture, a juren!"

"The talented scholar also came to Yunzhou after the Yunzhou Poetry Festival. He was attracted by Xue Ningyue's beauty and made this request."

"The two families hit it off and agreed."

"It was about... one and a half months ago!"

It was when Miss Ningyue was sick.

No wonder, no wonder!

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath and said, "Damn it, this is intolerable! "

Cai Ni chuckled and said, "Sir, it may be difficult to save the situation at this time. After all, the conditions offered by Fengming Tower are too tempting, and the talent himself is extremely outstanding. The Xue family has no reason to disagree."

"Letting Xue Ningyue suffer alone can exchange for such huge benefits and save the entire Xue family. This is the essence of the matter."

Zhou Yuan smiled coldly and said, "Is the Juren so great? Is Fengming Tower so great? I want to see how they dare to let Miss Ningyue be a concubine!"

Cai Ni's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Sir, do you want to intervene? Do you really want to stand up for Miss Ningyue?"

Zhou Yuan said solemnly, "Cai Ni, Jianjia and Ningyue are good sisters, and I also recognize Ningyue as a friend. We will not let her fall into the fire pit."

Cai Ni shook her head and said, "I'm not jealous. If I can let you help, I will thank Miss Ningyue instead."

Zhou Yuan said, "What do you mean? ”

Cai Ni smiled and said, "I'm afraid that you will go to practice Taoism again and don't want to enter this world. Besides...you have no power, how can we have a result?"

"I hope you can rise and become a dragon and phoenix among men."

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "You are so optimistic about me! What if I can't do it!"

Cai Ni put away her smile and said solemnly, "Cai Ni will not make a mistake. You have a lot of ambitions in your mind."

Zhou Yuan said in a deep voice, "Help me find out something."

Cai Ni said, "Fengming Tower? Are you going to open a restaurant?"

Zhou Yuan said, "Find out about the engraving workshop in Yunzhou. It must have a background and be large in size."

"Why are you asking about this?"

Zhou Yuan smiled slowly and said, "The first step to establish a career is to write a book!"
