After hearing this, Yu Wenhao looked at her resolute face, suddenly remembered some past events, and couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm serious, why are you laughing?"
Yuan Qingling stared at him.
Yu Wenhao stopped and held her face with his hands, the smile in his eyes not diminishing, "Do you still remember that the emperor's grandfather was ill at that time, and we were ordered to go to the palace to serve him. I treated you very badly at that time. When you were seriously injured,
You hold the hairpin to defend yourself, acting like you are not afraid of me, but when I get closer, you immediately jump up and point the hairpin at me."
He smiled, but his eyes slowly turned into regret and distress, "I was just a scumbag back then."
Yuan Qingling smiled bitterly, "How could you not remember?
At that time, I was living in dire straits, always thinking I had no way out, walking on thin ice with fear, but fortunately, I found the Supreme Emperor as my supporter, and I was able to live like a human being."
"sorry!"
Yu Wenhao sighed deeply, "This is the worst thing I have done in my life."
The most depressing thing for Yuan Qingling is that it was another Yuan Qingling who did something wrong, but it was she who suffered.
"Forget it. Since you've been kind to me over the years, I'll forgive you."
Yuan Qingling was generous and honest.
"not bad?"
Yu Wenhao refused, "Isn't this a good name?
This is very, very good. Apart from you, I have never looked at another woman in the past few years."
"That's what you should do, it doesn't count as being kind to me."
She smiled with crooked eyes, that's how cute Lao Wu is, he has a clear sense of grudges and handles them clearly. When he first knew that Chu Mingcui was a scheming girl, he could immediately cut off the old relationship without any unnecessary entanglement.
And when I got to know him, he wasn't very good at scheming, but it's not easy to navigate through all kinds of treacherous conspiracies over the years.
Time flies so fast, it seems like those things happened yesterday, but they are already pregnant with their third child.
"Daughter-in-law, walk slowly and watch the road!"
Yu Wenhao held her hand and said with an exaggerated smile.
Yuan Qingling looked at his handsome and lively features. The days of laughing and joking like this have become much less frequent in recent years. They used to live a somewhat heavy life.
A word came to her suddenly. She looked at him and said: "Lao Wu, I love you!"
Yu Wenhao was startled for a moment, and then slowly turned his face to look at her dark eyes. His heart warmed, and he stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms. The joking smile on his face slowly faded, and he became pious and serious, and whispered:
"Daughter-in-law, I love you too!"
The two hugged each other in the courtyard, listening to each other's heartbeat and breathing. The setting sun quietly streamed down, as if the two of them had coated the entire courtyard with a layer of golden light.
Yu Wenhao went to see Fourth Master Leng the next day. He would temporarily take 500,000 taels and ask his sister to lend him the rest. However, Fourth Master smiled playfully and said, "No, I've thought about it. You don't have to pay a penny.
I'll come out."
Yu Wenhao was stunned, such a good thing could happen in the world?
Isn't he dumbfounded by the wool?
Fourth Master said: "Of course, I don't get money for nothing. Once these weapons are released and mass-produced, and the court wants to use them, they have to buy them from me. Even if all the weapons we develop are used up in the future, the court will
If it needs to be cast again, I have to take care of it."
Yu Wenhao took a breath and said, "You are so cunning!"
Fourth Master Leng smiled slightly, "In business, you can't always lose money. You see, I have spent a lot of money on the royal family over the years. It's time to get some profit back. Strictly speaking, this is not profit. After all, this weapon
I don’t know whether it can be developed or whether it will be put into use after it is developed. Maybe it will be just a pile of scrap iron and gunpowder in the end, and the money invested will be wasted. I will bear the risk, is it reasonable?"
"Father will not agree."
Yu Wenhao frowned.
"It doesn't matter, you will be the emperor in the future, just sign a contract with me."
The fourth master nodded, and someone came up with the contract and presented it to Yu Wenhao.
Yu Wenhao saw that the contract was ready, which showed that this guy was not a last-minute idea. Fortunately, he was so calm last night. He said that each person would pay half, but in fact he was sure that he would not be able to come up with any money.
.
As expected, the fourth master said calmly: "Anyway, you don't have enough money, so you have to ask the princess to get it. The princess's money is also my money, and I pay for the joint work. Why not find a compromise between you and the court?"
There is no need to contribute any money, I am responsible for the profits and losses, and everyone is happy.”
"I have five hundred thousand taels!"
Yu Wenhao glared at him, "I can still get another five hundred thousand taels."
As soon as Yu Wenhao said these words, he immediately felt that he had been fooled. His strategy was to advance, attack, retreat or defend. If he didn't agree, he would have to take the money. If he agreed, he would lose ownership of the weapon.
Hey, in this world, why is it so difficult to have a free meal?
Fourth Master smiled and said: "Why bother?
If you spend all these one million taels, the Prince of Chu's palace will be extremely poor. Even if you are poor yourself, your wife and children will have to suffer. You have to know that if you take out this money, you may really beat a dog with a meat bun. Do you want to go there?
There’s no going back.”
Yu Wenhao gritted his teeth, "I'll go back and discuss it with Lao Yuan."
"Can!"
Fourth Master said with a smile.
Yu Wenhao turned around and left. One million taels was too much, and Lao Yuan might not agree.
When he went back and told Yuan Qing Ling, Yuan Qing Ling had no objection and even comforted him, "It's okay, it's only one million taels. I'll rent the snow wolf to Fourth Master later and I'll get my money back soon."
"Isn't this a bit shameless?"
Yu Wenhao's eyes widened.
"One is willing to fight and the other is willing to endure, what can be done?
He still wants it, if he asked Xue Lang to live with him for two years, do you believe he would willingly pay two million taels?"
Doesn't Yuan Qingling still know the master's nature?
He is obsessed with Snow Wolf. He really doesn't know why he is so persistent.
"It's really possible. We've actually lent it to him several times in the past and the rent was confiscated."
Yu Wenhao said.
Yuan Qingling said with a smile: "Well, don't worry, take it. One million taels is not much. The money we earned from the things we made on the Dingfeng is more than enough. I just saved part of it for my children."
You guys, if you have something urgent to do now, you will naturally take it out first."
"Okay, thank you, Lao Yuan!"
Yu Wenhao hugged her and felt very sad. No matter what he did in these years, she basically supported him.
One million taels were just sent over, and the fourth master was fully responsible for choosing the place and manpower. He would do everything.
Tang Yang knew about this, and he quietly asked Yuan Qingling, "Do you really want to rent Snow Wolf out to get your money back?"
Yuan Qingling said with a smile: "No, if the fourth master wants to take Xue Lang to play, let him take him. The Chu Palace has actually taken a lot of advantage from the fourth master in recent years. I just say this to comfort the fifth master."
, you know he is stingy, and if you give away one million taels, he feels bad."
Tang Yang felt that the Crown Princess knew His Highness's character very well. His Highness rarely had more than ten taels of silver in his pocket, but suddenly he took out one million taels. Yesterday he accompanied him to deliver the banknotes, and his hands were shaking.
