Su Yizhao smiled. The second old man must have been bewitched by the fifth prince before, but now he has finally regained his former shrewdness.
"Do you know Mr. Zheng, the right minister of the household department? The You family and a branch of the Zheng family are related by marriage."
Su Yizhao made a brief comment, if the second old man and the others couldn't even figure this out, would the Su family still have a future in the future?
The clansmen are too stupid. If they still want to be smart and do things that hinder them, how can Su Jinxun be able to turn the tide? It is undoubtedly a dream.
The second old man and the others finally realized, "Are you saying that the Ministry of Household Affairs will take over the mineral deposits, and that Mr. Zheng will take over it himself?"
After figuring out the connection, the second old man and the others couldn't sit still.
"Second brother! Then we can only do the same as the fifth prince and win over the You family. But the Luo family and the You family have never dealt with each other, can the You family be willing? Besides, after thinking about it, maybe we are not the only ones who are interested.
!The You family has the support of Mr. Zheng, but they may not pay attention to us!"
The third old man frowned, this matter was a bit tricky.
The fifth prince was one step ahead. I am afraid that everything has been deployed and he would have already taken the advantage.
The second old man walked back and forth in the study, and after a moment he turned his attention to Su Yizhao.
"What do your grandfather have in mind? What do you plan to do?"
He didn't think that Su Yizhao could accomplish this. It was probably his elder brother who ordered him to do it.
Su Yizhao did not refute, only said: "As for the You family, I have already thought of a way. Now I don't need to worry about the elders. They just need to wait for the good news. As for the Luo family, there is no need to worry. They have always
The only way to be attached to our Su family is to accept it."
Su Yizhao deliberately concealed the fact that he had already contacted the Luo family, which also left room for the Luo family.
After all, they were going back to the capital, and the Luo family would still have to face the Second Old Master and the others, so it was not advisable to go too far.
The last Qu family, Su Yizhao, did not intend to talk to the second old master and the others, but was prepared to hold on to his side.
The ancestors of the Qu family were born in iron smelting, but later the imperial court took control of the mineral deposits, so the Qu family switched to the jade business.
Su Yizhao's intention was not to let the Qu family get involved in mining, but to get them to return to their old business.
Originally, smelting iron was a matter for the imperial court, but the purity of the imperial smelting in recent years was not very good. It was common for the soldiers' weapons to be cut off when they faced barbarian weapons.
If the Qu family can be recruited by the imperial court, that will be their real rise.
It's a pity that the old man of the Qu family is old and thinks that he can just live a prosperous life and doesn't want to set foot in the court again.
Su Yizhao was thinking about the Qu family, so he didn't notice the expressions of the second old master and the others.
The expressions on the faces of the two old ladies here are getting more and more ugly. This means that everything has been settled and there is no need for them to intervene.
"Ahem!" Su Yijue coughed lightly, and Su Yizhao immediately came back to his senses.
"Grandfather said that we have to rely on our elders for the future. The eldest family is in the capital, so it is beyond our reach. The elders are in charge of Beiyuan Mansion, so grandpa can rest assured. What will happen to our Su family in the future cannot be separated from the dedication of every clan member."
Su Yizhao immediately sensed that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and then said a few words.
The expressions of the second old man and the others softened slightly, "What about the next plan?"
"I heard that the court will not issue a notice until five days later. Before that, we try not to have contact with the You family to avoid suspicion from outsiders and cause trouble. The Luo family, in particular, is already making intensive preparations to prevent them from being exposed to external forces.
influence.”
The second old man and the others were silent after listening. Since the matter has reached this point, they have nothing to object to.
Anyway, they will take care of the rest, which is not contrary to the original intention.
But the only difference is that in the future, things will have to be done under the eyes of the eldest brother, because the second old man knows his eldest brother's temper and will not trust him to monopolize power. He is afraid that he will have to send someone to monitor him secretly.
Now that the matter was over, there was no need for everyone to discuss it here, so they all got up and left.
Su Yijue looked at Su Yizhao with extremely complicated eyes. Before he came to be a lobbyist, the second and third bedrooms were very excited and unwilling, and their attitude was extremely tough.
Unexpectedly, Su Yizhao came over and persuaded the second old man and the others with just a few words and no longer objected.
Alas! Su Yizhao is really a monster, incomparable!
Su Yijue shook his head and sighed, it was so shocking.
But then he thought of Su Yizhao's riding and shooting, and suddenly felt glad that he still had something to beat him.
The study room was completely cleared after a while. The second old man was a little distracted and didn't know what he was thinking about.
"Second uncle, can I ask why you had to cooperate with the fifth prince before? Is it just because you want to get a share of the mine?"
Suddenly a voice came to mind, and the second old man realized that it was Su Yizhao who had returned.
Seeing Su Yizhao's clear eyes, he suddenly felt guilty.
"certainly!"
"Why did you come back? Are you still waiting for the second room to let you have dinner?"
Sure enough! Seeing the performance of the second old man, Su Yizhao confirmed his suspicion.
"I've never eaten in the second room. What's wrong? It's already noon, and my second uncle doesn't plan to let me have a meal."
Su Yizhao simply entered the study and sat down in his original seat.
The second old man was very puzzled, what bad idea was this boy holding back?
He snorted coldly, "The food in our second room is not as exquisite as that in your first room, I'm afraid you won't be used to it."
"Second uncle! I came to the mansion late and have never met my fourth uncle. I think my fourth uncle has been appointed as the magistrate of Nandu Prefecture for three consecutive terms, right? I wonder if he will be promoted next year?"
Su Yizhao picked up the tea bowl and started drinking. However, her words made the second old man tighten his hands in his sleeves.
He found that Su Yizhao was as annoying as Su Wenqing. Fortunately, he originally thought that Su Yizhao was very sensible, but in fact it was just an appearance!
Without waiting for the second old man to answer, Su Yizhao said to himself: "I don't know if I will be able to see my fourth uncle return to Beijing next year to report on his work."
The fourth uncle mentioned by Su Yizhao was Su Wenguang, the eldest son of the second old man, who was appointed as the magistrate of Nandu Prefecture and held an official position of fourth rank.
I have been in office three times in a row, and my performance evaluation every year has always been excellent, but I have stayed in office every year.
The second old man said after a while: "Yes! Maybe you can see your fourth uncle next year!"
Su Yizhao suddenly turned around to look at the second old man, only to see that the second old man was glaring at the back of Su Yizhao's head before he could take it back, causing Su Yizhao to bump into him.
Su Yizhao didn't take it seriously when he saw this, but instead smiled brightly.
"There are people in the court who are good at becoming officials! In fact, sometimes it is not entirely because of political achievements, but because there is no one in the court! My grandfather is about to become an official, and there are people in the court who can act according to the changing circumstances. The in-laws are all waiting and watching, and they don't care about it for a while.
No, Fourth Uncle, I really have wronged Fourth Uncle!"
