Duan Yunxiu couldn't stand Mu Qinxue's insistence, and muttered: "But she is a princess, how can she be so embarrassed to lie to others? This is called recruiting talents in an eclectic way... Anyway, you can't tell others."
Only then did Mu Qinxue smile as brightly as a flower.
"Okay! Sister Yunxiu is the best! Help my sister to deceive him. From now on, my sister will do what she says and I can share everything with you~"
The two girls began to hatch a new plan again.
Liang Xiao sat in the carriage, puzzled.
During the two years he has been in the capital, he has not always been ignorant. He also pays attention to the news and gossip in the capital.
This Mu Qinxue is truly the most talented woman in the capital. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. It is said that she is also involved in the business of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion. She is a rare and rare woman in a century. Underneath her gentle appearance, she is repulsive to others.
Indifference thousands of miles away.
It can be said that this is a typical aloof beauty.
Such a strange woman, who was a stranger to him, could not be so polite to him just because of his poems and handwriting.
Of course, there is no need for her to murder herself for Nangong Ning.
"It seems it's because of Eunuch Lin. Well, Eunuch Lin? Eunuch Lin..."
Just as Liang Xiao was thinking, there was a huge crowd of people outside.
"Have you heard? That song "Autumn Poems" was actually written by Nangong Ning's fiancé Liang Xiao! No, it's his ex-fiancé!"
"I heard that the eldest son of the Duanmu family could only speak half a sentence, but was exposed in public by Mu Lingxiao, the eldest son of Dingguo Hou Mansion, with Liang Xiao's "Autumn Poems"!"
"Isn't that right? Can an unlearned waste like Liang Xiao write "Autumn Poems"?"
…
Liang Xiao, who had excellent hearing, could clearly hear the fragmentary discussions outside, and he was even more certain of his guess.
It is true that Dingguo Hou Mansion does not like Zhenyuan Hou Mansion very much. It is said that it is because Zhenyuan Hou Mansion is bent on moving closer to those civil servant families.
"What a shame, old man, you won't tell me about your father's generation." Liang Xiao muttered to himself, his eyes a little more moved.
After he became a sinner, only the old man adopted him and made him his teacher.
This old man has a special status and a weird temper, but he does take care of him as his own grandson.
He is none other than the famous Martial Saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the founding marshal of the People's Republic of China forty years ago!
Conferred the title of King of Wu, I will not accept it!
He was also granted the title of Duke Wu, but he was not accepted.
In the end, he was named Marquis of Wu, and he had no children. Later, it was rumored that he had passed away, and he was posthumously named King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty by the royal family. In fact, he faked his death and retired to the mountains.
This Great Zhou Martial Saint was inextricably linked to the Great Zhou royal family. He wanted to keep the Great Zhou royal family no matter what, but he only gave him a few thousand taels of silver and did not give him any more help. Liang Xiao was not allowed to retaliate.
own name.
Liang Xiao once couldn't understand why such a prominent identity should not be spread to outsiders.
The old man did not give any explanation. He only said that once the secret was leaked, all ties would be severed. He also wanted him to be loyal to Zhou Dynasty, have a house full of wives and concubines, and support the Liang family.
The rumors along the way are getting more and more intense.
There is even news of Nangong Ning and Duanmu Yunqing's private engagement.
Liang Xiao returned home and found that Jiang Fuxue had been waiting for a long time, her face full of anxiety.
"Did the Marquis of Dingguo's Mansion embarrass my brother?"
Liang Xiao smiled and touched Jiang Fuxue's little head and said, "It went unexpectedly smoothly, thanks to Eunuch Lin's support."
"How about the daughter of the Duke of Dingguo?" Jiang Fuxue asked anxiously.
"Anyone who sees it will be shocked, right?" Liang Xiao praised.
Jiang Fuxue felt relieved and reminded: "Then brother must find a way to marry her home!"
Liang Xiao shook his head.
"Let's talk about it later."
"My brother hasn't realized that he is already seventeen years old, and his peers have children! My brother is the best person in the world and deserves to marry the best woman!" Jiang Fuxue said anxiously.
"It makes sense, brother, try your best..." Liang Xiao said vaguely, but he didn't agree in his heart.
The Bai Family Chamber of Commerce also welcomed someone from the Dingguo Hou Mansion, Shopkeeper Lin.
After shopkeeper Lin sat down with Bai He, he got straight to the point: "Our owner agrees to raise the price by 10%. We will observe the market and continue to raise the price if necessary. The premise is that you also abide by the agreement and raise the price by 10%."
Bai He was overjoyed: "Don't worry, as long as you continue to raise prices, the Bai Family Chamber of Commerce will keep up. This will definitely be a pleasant cooperation!"
So Bai He entertained the shopkeeper and secretly gave him a red envelope with banknotes.
Liang Xiao did not ask about the price of sugar cane, but continued writing at home.
"Eunuch Lin is very interesting. In this case, I will repay you with a peach."
Liang Xiao thought about it for a while, and finally stopped holding back and began to write quickly.
Night, Imperial Study Room.
The empress listened to Duan Yunxiu's narration, and after a short silence, she nodded slightly.
"Saving the country through industry? It's somewhat interesting. At least it's more real than those aristocratic families who are full of lies."
"But he doesn't want to be an official, what should we do?" Duan Yunxiu asked anxiously.
Duan Yunyi looked at his anxious sister with complicated eyes.
This girl seems not to realize yet...
"Sister, if he can really benefit Zhou Dynasty in the future and is qualified to leave his name in history, sister can consider letting him be the consort."
Hearing this, Duan Yunxiu's anxious face turned into panic: "This, this, this, how can this be done! He is sister Qin Xue's fiancé..."
"There is a custom in the Zhou Dynasty of 'concubine'. My sister has made Qin Xue a princess, and you can be his concubine together," Duan Yunyi said.
"Ah?" Duan Yunxiu suddenly blushed, and glanced at Duan Yunyi in shame, "Sister is so annoying, let's talk about business!!"
Duan Yunyi saw her reaction in his eyes and smiled helplessly.
"Let's do this. When the time comes, you go to him and see what kind of countermeasures he can give you. Then it's up to you to decide whether to bring him to see my sister. If he really doesn't want to be an official for a while, sister
Let him be an 'Imperial Merchant', and let him enter the officialdom in the future on the grounds of his contribution."
"Huang Shang! My sister is very considerate. He does have this idea! If he can make money from his business this time, he will definitely not let his sister down in the future!" Duan Yunxiu looked happy.
After Duan Yunxiu left, Duan Yunyi told Feiyun.
"Be sure to take good care of my imperial sister. She may have fallen into it unknowingly without knowing it. I am also willing to believe in her and Qin Xue's vision. There is no harm in meeting Liang Xiao..."
After Feiyun accepted the order, he also looked depressed.
Considering that the new batch of sugar cane from the Bai Family Chamber of Commerce has not yet been delivered, the price of sugar cane in Dingguohou Mansion did not increase immediately. The two parties agreed on a time and only waited for the goods to arrive to increase the price.
At night again, Duan Yunxiu came to visit Liang Xiao as promised.
"I didn't expect that Eunuch Lin was so thoughtful and asked Dingguo Hou Mansion to take care of me."
As soon as they met, Liang Xiao clasped his fist towards Duan Yunxiu to thank him.
Duan Yunxiu said: "If you are grateful, please repay His Majesty well and don't let His Majesty down."
"Do your best." Liang Xiao responded calmly.
Seeing it in his eyes, Duan Yunxiu became more and more full of expectation.
If it were an ordinary person, he would wish to squeeze out his head and become an official, but he, a criminal minister, only wants to save the country through industry?
The words of the imperial sister last night flashed through his mind, and Duan Yunxiu asked abruptly: "Master Liang, can you tell me what you think of me, the eunuch?"
