After Duan Yunxiu entered the door with the female palace soldiers, he saw Mu Ping and Mu Qinxue looked different and hurriedly asked about the situation.
"My father and the others are worried that Liang Xiao will lead people to sell illegal salt..." Mu Qinxue replied.
Duan Yunxiu was stunned, suppressed a smile, and said: "He is not that kind of person."
Mu Ping and Mrs. Mu looked at Duan Yunxiu in surprise.
Duan Yunxiu realized that he had let something slip, and quickly added: "After all, he is a descendant of Marquis Lanling. I have sent people to visit him. There is no problem with his character. Besides, who dares to sell smuggling in the capital?"
Salt?"
Mu Ping looked confused: "Then he..."
Duan Yunxiu smiled and said: "If he wants to make sugar, he needs workers and guards. Master Mu is worried that he will harm your Dingguo House. After all, Dingguo House asked him to hire guards."
Mu Ping just nodded awkwardly.
Duan Yunxiu comforted him again: "Master Mu is worrying too much. But I also understand Master Mu's mood. If Liang Xiao is really good for nothing and will only ruin the family, Sister Qin Xue will not like him."
"A prodigal is a prodigal..." Mu Qinxue responded subconsciously, then quickly changed her words, "If you don't marry him..."
Mu Ping did not dare to disobey, but kept nodding in agreement.
After the couple left, Mu Qinxue took Duan Yunxiu and sat down with a grateful look on her face.
"Thanks to Sister Yunxiu for protecting me, otherwise I would have no choice but to elope with Liang Xiao in the future!"
"Elope?" Duan Yunxiu laughed as he looked at his best friend who was getting more and more bold in his ideas. "Sister Qinxue, don't worry, he is really talented! Even if he can't do business, he will definitely do it in the future.
A great talent who can govern the country! He is only seventeen years old and has a promising future!"
Mu Qinxue finally felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let me tell you quietly, my sister intends to let Liang Xiao become an imperial merchant first. After my sister sees him, if she really takes a liking to him, she will definitely focus on training him!"
Mu Qinxue was so moved that she suddenly thought of something and seemed to have made up her mind. She whispered: "Sister Yunxiu? I promise you that I am willing to share everything about me with you, including Liang Xiao..."
"Share Liang Xiao with you?" Duan Yunxiu was shocked, hesitated for a moment, blushed, and said, "I didn't take a fancy to him..."
"We are good sisters. Let's agree first. If you fall in love with him, just let him be your concubine. I just hope you can allow him to take concubines..." Mu Qinxue reminded.
Mu Qinxue said with a smile: "He didn't even know that he was already in my possession even before I even made a single stroke."
Duan Yunxiu quickly changed the topic and said: "Anyway, let him show off his talents first and impress your parents!"
The two sisters reached a consensus and began to "plot" on how to deceive Liang Xiao...
The Liang Mansion of Liang Xiao was the former Lanling Marquis Mansion. It occupies a very large area and is enough to accommodate 500 people.
Since the Lanlinghou Mansion was sealed, all the servants were sent home, leaving the Lanlinghou Mansion empty.
For Liang Xiao, this means that these workers recruited from the refugees have homes to live in.
The guards of Dingguo Hou Mansion were arranging for the workers and their families to move in, and Liang Xiao was also writing furiously.
Jiang Fuxue sat aside and stared at Liang Xiao quietly, with a bit of curiosity in her eyes.
Just now, Liang Xiao's way of appeasing the refugees was simple and crude, promising to give them enough food and adequate wages.
The scenes of the refugees crying with gratitude were certainly unforgettable for her.
But what she will never forget in her life is Liang Xiao's calmness at that time. He was neither arrogant nor domineering, but just calm and indifferent, which was completely different from the past.
It seemed like everything was under his control.
"My brother used to be kind and charitable, but he always ran into obstacles with his passion. Now my brother has become extremely calm and smart..."
"Is it because of a great enlightenment after a serious illness?"
Jiang Fuxue muttered to herself, looking at Liang Xiao in trance.
Grandma, who was sitting next to her, looked at Jiang Fuxue in trance.
Only Liang Xiao was concentrating on writing and painting.
"Xue'er, you have something on your mind."
Liang Xiao suddenly spoke, pulling Jiang Fuxue back from her thoughts.
Jiang Fuxue murmured: "Xue'er hopes that my brother will make a fortune, stand out, and win a beautiful woman. The talented woman from Dingguo Hou Mansion is a very nice person..."
"You've never met her, how do you know she's a nice person?" Liang Xiao stopped writing and looked at Jiang Fuxue with a smile.
Jiang Fuxue replied: "Because she was the only one who sent people to invite her brother and even used a carriage. After my brother came back, he was not unhappy at all and praised her for being worthy of her name. Therefore, Xueer hopes that the best girl in the world can marry
For brother..."
Liang Xiao couldn't help but laugh: "Both?"
"It was my brother's master who wanted him to marry three wives and four concubines!" Jiang Fuxue reminded.
Liang Xiao just nodded without comment.
"Xue'er, there is actually an ancient person whom I admire who once said something. The Huns are not destroyed, so why do we have a home?"
Jiang Fuxue was stunned: "Is there such a person?"
Liang Xiao's eyes gradually deepened, as if he was talking to himself.
"It's not here, but my brother has been to a magical place in his dream, and there is such a period of history there. Before the Xiongnu were destroyed, why should we take care of our family? This is what the famous general who attacked the Xiongnu said. My father died in the battle,
I will never forget being bullied by barbarians and the hatred of my country and my family. My master wanted me to get married and have children as soon as possible because he was worried that one day I would die unexpectedly and not have time to leave any heirs. After all, many people die young."
"No matter what, I will protect myself and you, brother. Build your career first, then get a wife, and fate will come naturally."
Jiang Fuxue listened with rapt attention and murmured: "When the time comes, it will come naturally..."
"You can say that." Liang Xiao was stunned and laughed.
"Brother has recruited so many workers and given them such good treatment. Do you have any plans to make a profit?" Jiang Fuxue asked tentatively.
"When the sugar cane arrives, let's make sugar, and if we do a little business, we will be able to sell it well." Liang Xiao said with confidence.
Jiang Fuxue and Grandma looked at each other. Seeing that Grandma was doubtful, she winked at her.
Grandma just sighed silently, said no more, and took Jiang Fuxue back.
In the room, Jiang Fuxue said with a worried look on her face: "When the time comes, can you buy the sugar that your brother sells at a high price to support his business?"
Grandma replied: "Miss, I have to believe in the young master this time. He has never been so confident and calm..."
Jiang Fuxue was unhappy.
Grandma saw it and added: "Such a young master may be able to fall into the master's eyes."
Jiang Fuxue's eyes lit up, and her face was filled with a joyful smile.
"It's too dangerous here. Let's take my brother to Bashu in the future~"
Someone who was drawing a picture suddenly sneezed, looked up at the misty autumn rain outside the window, and quickly added a coat to himself.
"The sugar cane from the Bai family and Dingguo Houfu will arrive tomorrow."
