"What do you mean, sister?" Duan Yunxiu looked excited.
Duan Yunyi explained: "When looking at a person, you should not only look at what he says, but also what he does. Sister, you can take him to the palace to meet my sister, but since he is not willing to be an official, that's just right. My sister also
I want to see how he does business and whether he will be a profiteer in business, so my sister can let him become an imperial merchant."
Duan Yunxiu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "I believe him!"
Duan Yunyi saw his sister's reaction and could only smile bitterly in his heart.
Seeing that she didn't reply, Duan Yunxiu threw herself into her arms again and started acting coquettishly: "Sister~"
Looking at his sister in his arms, Duan Yunyi's eyes showed some kindness. He sighed and said softly: "As long as he is determined to serve the country, it doesn't matter if he becomes an imperial merchant first. As for whether he is losing money or not, my sister will send someone to take care of him.
Teach him."
Duan Yunxiu was overjoyed: "He will definitely not let my sister down!"
After Duan Yunxiu left, the empress sighed: "Perhaps, there is someone chosen for the Prince Consort of Great Zhou Dynasty."
Feiyun reminded: "Your Majesty is already nearly 20 years old, so he should also pay attention to his marriage..."
Hearing this, Duan Yunyi suddenly thought of something, and the hand holding the pen trembled slightly for a moment, and finally spoke, even his voice was trembling: "I have an engagement arranged by the late emperor, but now I must consider Dazhou and not do what he thinks.
...The future prince can also choose from the imperial sister’s children.”
At night, Liang Xiao was drawing drawings in his room, sometimes muttering to himself: "Time waits for me, time waits for me. I didn't expect that this empress is really a good person."
The martial arts he learned from the old man had already made him better than his master, but he had no use for them.
Now his only reliance is the knowledge of being a time traveler.
At the same time, in the lobby of Dingguohou Mansion.
Mu Lingxiao and Mu Qinxue, brothers and sisters, were standing in front of their parents, accepting reprimands.
The Marquis of Dingguo, Mu Ping, was almost angry with his beard.
Mrs. Mu on the side was also advising her earnestly: "Xiaoxue, grandpa is old and stubborn, you can't really take his engagement seriously! Why did you, such a good girl, agree to marry a criminal like Liang Xiao?
After that, you will destroy your future! Silly boy!"
Mu Ping said angrily: "Who arranged for Liang Xiao to enter the house to find you!"
"It's brother." Mu Qinxue looked innocent, and Mu Lingxiao next to her almost suffocated.
Mu Ping narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Mu Lingxiao: "Lingxiao?"
Mu Lingxiao said bravely: "My child thinks Liang Xiao is a good person, so let me meet him. Let me decide..."
"Dad, you have also seen that it was arranged by my brother." Mu Qinxue said aggrievedly.
"Xiao'er, you're crazy!" Mrs. Mu said sadly.
Mu Lingxiao waved her hands quickly: "My child believes in my younger sister's vision. After all, she is still the sister-in-law she introduced to my child..."
Mu Ping said solemnly: "How can you keep accommodating this girl because of this matter! You are so good, without this girl's help, you can't catch up??"
"Of course I can't catch the kid..." Mu Lingxiao laughed dryly.
Mu Ping:......
Mrs. Mu was also speechless.
Mu Ping stepped back and asked for the next best thing, then said to Mu Qinxue: "Okay! Then Xiaoxue, tell me, what about Liang Xiao?"
Mu Qinxue replied: "He has a good character, outstanding literary talent, and has the ambition to serve the country. Even Her Royal Highness the Princess is full of praise for him."
"How come Her Highness the Princess is involved?" The couple were surprised.
"She is the child's best friend, so of course she has to think about the child!" Mu Qinxue replied.
Mu Ping shook his head: "I don't believe it, my father! You also know that in the past two years, my father intentionally or unintentionally sent people to take care of Liang Xiao's business, but what did he do? The Dingguo Hou Mansion secretly took care of it, and actually lost everything!
"
Mu Qinxue said casually: "Haier sent someone to check, and half of the thousands of taels of silver he gave were for giving porridge to the refugees from other places."
Mu Ping and his wife were stunned.
"If that's the case, he is...what? Have you sent someone to check?"
Mu Qinxue said quickly: "It's my brother. He sent someone to check."
Mu Ping looked at the confused Mu Lingxiao again: "You are quite interested in Liang Xiao. Could it be that you are the one who likes him?"
Mu Qinxue finally couldn't hold it in any longer, covered her mouth with her hands, and hid behind a pillar until she was laughing so hard.
Sweat broke out on Mu Lingxiao's forehead, and he hesitated: "My child is just worried that grandpa will ruin my little sister's happiness, so I sent someone to investigate."
Mu Ping suddenly became furious and gave Mu Lingxiao a hard look: "It's you, the traitor, who brought your sister down! How could she, such a good girl, find such a good match for her?
, find Liang Xiao who has nothing!"
Mu Qinxue consoled her: "Dad, calm down, that Liang Xiao is not without merit. Her Royal Highness the Princess said that this person will become a very successful person in the future, and even become a very famous minister."
"No, who knows what will happen in the future!" Mu Ping refused.
Mu Qinxue reminded: "Grandpa, he will be angry if he finds out..."
Hearing this, Mu Ping, who had always been arrogant, finally had a cold war.
"Well, let's look at his recent performance. I can't tell why those few poems and words came about. He is full of knowledge, and it is impossible for those aristocratic families to allow him to enter the officialdom, so it is useless for this son to study." Mu Ping said as he spoke.
, stared at Mu Lingxiao again, "You brat, take him to Prime Minister Zhuge sometime and let him comment!"
"Father is wise~" Mu Qinxue clapped her little hands obediently.
After her parents left, Mu Qinxue sat down proudly and said with a proud look on her face: "Brother, has my acting skills improved to a higher level?"
Mu Lingxiao curled his lips and said: "Yes, yes, but the eldest brother only cares about your sister-in-law's face, and is definitely not surrendering to your force!"
"Sister-in-law is the best~" Mu Qinxue looked happy.
Mu Lingxiao looked helpless: "Yes, she said that in fact she only married half of my brother and the other half to you."
Looking at Mu Qinxue with a proud face, Mu Lingxiao sighed: "It's just that it's really difficult for my parents to go through this. That kid Liang Xiao went into business again. If he wants you to give up, he will definitely not send him again."
People are secretly supporting him, it’s up to you to decide.”
After Mu Lingxiao left, Mu Qinxue restrained her arrogant temper and looked at the bright moon outside the window, gradually feeling melancholy.
After a long time, her eyes turned firm again.
Early the next morning, Liang Xiao went out and rushed to the Capital Escort Agency run by Dingguo Hou Mansion.
The business of Beijing Escort Bureau is extremely extensive.
"Master Liang wants to recruit house guards?"
The escort leader looked at Liang Xiao in front of him with a surprised look on his face.
"The guards in our escort agency are all retired soldiers from the Marquis Dingguo's Mansion. They are loyal and reliable, but the price is not low, and they need to pay a deposit of one hundred taels before they can be hired."
After Liang Xiao handed over a hundred-tael silver note, he said, "If you can, please arrange ten for me first."
