Chapter 1477 Desperate Wu Brothers
After hearing Wu Meiniang's words, Princess Gaoyang sighed softly, hugged Wu Meiniang's thin shoulders, and said softly: "How many times have I told you, what is there to worry about? The title of Lord Lang must come from Da Lang Inherited, but with my husband and me, how can Erlang be just a white body? The day when you gave birth was in danger, I made a wish in my heart, as long as this Erlang and Mei Niang can be auspicious, then no matter how many people in the family I am willing to give half of the family property to Erlang... Mr. Lang once said that everything can be prosperous if a family is harmonious. We are family members. If you and I can serve Mr. Lang wholeheartedly today, regardless of each other, Erlang will be brothers and sisters in the future... With the status of our family, with the talent of the lord, and with the status of my princess, as long as our family works together to prevent our children from going astray, then we will be rich and prosperous for generations and live with the country, which is enough to envy the world .”
With warmth in her heart, Wu Meiniang held Princess Gao Yang's slender hand behind her back, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Your Highness..."
The big wife is not jealous and generous, the husband is generous and fair, and the elders are kind and kind. What is more perfect than this kind of life?
The two held hands together and smiled at each other.
Princess Gao Yang blinked and said: "You don't need to say thank you, but if Mei Niang is really grateful... then you might as well ask sister to come and listen."
Wu Meiniang smiled brightly: "But the identity of the concubine is obviously two years older than His Highness..."
"Hehe, but I am a big lady, shouldn't the concubine's room call the big lady sister?"
"Is Your Highness trying to overwhelm others with power? What about convincing others with virtue?"
"Oh, it's not called, is it? Believe it or not, I will marry you back ten or eight concubines to compete with you?"
"That's really strange, shouldn't it be you, the wife, who is afraid of concubines competing for favor?"
……
Xiuyu Zheng Xiuer and other maids on the side stroked their foreheads with helpless expressions.
That's all for Princess Gaoyang, who has a delicate and naive nature. She always has a childish temper, but that lady Wu, who is regarded as a woman by outsiders, would quarrel with His Highness childishly from time to time...
It is too unbelievable.
One wife and one concubine were bickering with great interest, when a servant came in from the outside and said: "Miss Wu, His Royal Highness King Wu sent someone to send a letter, saying that he wants you to write it personally, and then give me a reply."
As he spoke, he raised the letter in his hand, Zheng Xiuer took it, and handed it to Wu Meiniang.
Wu Meiniang took it casually, opened the seal and took out the letter paper, looked at the ten lines at a glance, and gently picked out the two graceful and beautiful words.
Princess Gao Yang wondered: "The third brother's letter to you? Why did he write to you?"
"What are you thinking about?" Wu Meiniang heard the doubt in her words, glared at Princess Gao Yang coquettishly, and explained: "It's about my two unworthy elder brothers..."
Brothers Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang were greedy for the projects in the eastern and western cities and the lakeside of Kunming, so they begged Wu Meiniang to borrow a sum of money from the Prince's Mansion in Hejian County to undertake the project, hoping to make a lot of money.As a result, there have been heavy rains in Guanzhong for several days, and many newly built houses by the Kunming pool collapsed because of cutting corners, including the houses built by the Wu brothers...
After hearing the whole story, Princess Gao Yang said disapprovingly, "What's the matter? After all, the two brothers can be regarded as Langjun's brother-in-law. The three of them don't know how to lose face, right? How about I come forward to intercede with the three?" ?”
In her mind, only a few houses collapsed, and no one was killed or injured. Wu Wang Li Ke, who was in charge of supervising the Kunming Pool project, could completely suppress it.
Wu Meiniang rolled her eyes, and immediately refused: "You can save yourself, the Kunming Lake is a temporary market for the eastern and western cities, and it will become the premises of the 'Jiangwu Hall' later, once the censor finds out His Royal Highness King Wu bent the law for his own benefit, and you still want His Highness to sleep well?"
The truth is not as serious as she said. If His Royal Highness King Wu really wanted to protect someone, who would have nothing to do to embarrass him with such a trivial matter?
In order to cheat the Wu brothers and make them calm down, she spent a lot of time and effort. Now that the work is done, how can she let Princess Gao Yang come forward to intercede for them?
Princess Gao Yang snorted and said in displeasure: "I don't know good people, so do as you please, anyway, they are all your brothers, so what does it matter to me whether they live or die?"
It just so happened that a baby was crying from the next room, so Princess Gao Yang hurriedly got up and walked over quickly.
Wu Meiniang sat without moving, and said to the servant who was waiting for the letter: "Go and reply to the sender, just say that the state-owned state-law family has family rules, and everything should be done according to the rules and regulations. Don't embarrass His Royal Highness Wu. .”
"Here."
The servant said in his heart that his brother would stand by and watch when something happened to his brother?But he naturally didn't dare to ask, seeing that Wu Meiniang had no more orders, he turned around and walked out, and went to the front yard to answer.
*****
By the Kunming pool, the Wu brothers were suffering from anxiety like ants on a hot pot.
The house built by the two brothers was crooked. The heavy rain for days not only caused the untamped foundation to be soaked in rainwater and caused it to collapse, even the cement used to build the walls was washed away by the rainwater due to too much sand mixed in. There is a large area of houses in Nuo Da, but now five or six out of ten have collapsed, and the remaining ones that have not completely collapsed are also due to crooked beams and cracks in the walls...
Li Ke, King of Wu, was dressed in a brocade robe and jade belt, and stood in front of these collapsed houses with his hands behind his back. His handsome face was already clouded with clouds, and it seemed that lightning and thunder would come at any time...
Wu Yuanqing stabbed Wu Yuanshuang. The latter looked reluctant, but he also knew that he could not escape, so he had to bite the bullet and stand behind Li Ke, and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, calm down... It's not because of my lack of supervision, it is really The rain has been too heavy for the past few days, and the newly built houses have not yet dried out, so they collapsed... I heard that many houses in Chang'an City also collapsed due to the rain..."
"To shut up!"
Li Keli yelled, turned around and glared angrily, and pointed with a halberd: "How dare you play sloppy with this king? Do you think this king is a fool?! Look at these houses you built, the blue bricks are all crooked or even half-defective The sealed cement is like scum, and a piece of it can be snapped off by hand, and this beam... You use this kind of wooden stick that is not as thick as an arm as a beam?"
Wu Yuanshuang shrank his neck and muttered: "Where is it not as thick as an arm? It is clearly as thick as the mouth of a bowl..."
"Dare to be stubborn?"
Li Ke was furious, kicked Wu Yuanshuang somersaults, and scolded: "I have heard that your brother has always been negligent, cheating and playing tricks, and for the sake of Fang Shilang and Mrs. Wu, I just let go of the gossip. , I gave you this chance, and that’s what you did in the end?”
He was really going to die of anger, did this Wu family brother have any brains?
Fang Jun is not willing to take care of you because you are unreliable in doing things. If you can take advantage of this opportunity to behave well, Fang Jun can show a little flesh between his fingers, so that you brothers can eat and drink spicy food, okay?
The results of it?
Shoddy, shoddy, cutting corners...
His Royal Highness King Wu was very angry, and said bitterly: "Believe it or not, this king called Fang Jun to let him see this house, and he can beat you two bastards to death?!"
Wu Yuanshuang trembled in fright...
At the beginning, when he was urged to make trouble in Dongshi, Fang Jun was furious, so he was fined heavily, and he had no money to pay the fine from Jingzhao Mansion, so he went to find Mei Niang for help, and Mei Niang helped them behind Fang Jun's back. The brothers borrowed a sum of money from the Prince's Mansion in Hejian County, so that they could pay the fine and have spare money to undertake the construction site by the pool in Kunming.
Even if she took on this project, it was Mei Niang who falsely used Fang Jun's name to go the way of King Wu...
Now if Fang Jun finds out that their brother cut corners and cut corners, Fang Jun's face will be greatly tarnished, that club might really beat the two brothers to death.
Wu Yuanshuang's complexion changed greatly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, absolutely not!"
Li Ke snorted, and said with a gloomy face: "In any case, it was Miss Wu who begged this king that day to give your brother this opportunity. Now this king will give Miss Wu another face, and you will immediately take this piece of land. All the houses were stripped off by this king, and they were rebuilt, no cutting corners, no shoddy, otherwise this king will never show mercy!"
After putting down his words firmly, Li Ke walked away surrounded by a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry.
Only the Wu brothers were left staring wide-eyed...
"Brother, what should we do?"
Wu Yuanshuang looked at his brother and swallowed hard.
Wu Yuanqing's face was ashen, and he said dejectedly: "I don't know what to do..."
It stands to reason that Wu Wang and Li Ke did not pursue the responsibility of the two of them in the first place, which is already a big face to the sky, and overthrowing and restarting is also the best solution.
But the crux of the problem is that the two brothers have no money...
