Mrs. Wang Kou answered from the side: "I will go to invite Mrs. Wang tomorrow, and I will also talk to Mrs. Xiang..."
"Go to sleep..."
Wang Shu suddenly felt that the tea in his hand had lost its taste, so he threw down the tea cup, put his hands behind his back, and returned to the bedroom.
However, Mrs. Wang Kou was not in a hurry to go to bed. Instead, she sat in the main hall, thinking about how to make Wang Yuan successfully marry the legitimate daughter of Xiang Mansion.
The wing of the palace.
Kou Ji was lying on the bed, also awake.
In the dark room, visibility was not high, but Kou Ji still stared at the top of the bed.
The words Wang Yuan said in the main hall of the palace kept echoing in his mind like a demonic voice.
In front of Wang Kou, he acted nonchalant, but that didn't mean he really didn't care.
"I have done so much, I thought I had become a member of the Kou family a long time ago. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of some people, I am still an outsider. I am afraid that my aunt has the same idea as her son and thinks that I am an outsider.
.
Wang Yuan couldn't hide his words, so he said what he had to say.
She didn't say it clearly, but her attitude towards Wang Yuan revealed her inner thoughts.
If she really regards me as one of her own and Wang Yuan said those words, she should at least punish me, even if it's just a show..."
Kou Ji was lying on the bed, murmuring in a low voice, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
After a long time, he stared into the darkness with burning eyes and said faintly: "I, Kou Ji, do not have to climb up to the Kou Mansion to be rich. Without being involved in the Kou Mansion, maybe I will be richer.
It's not that I can get rich by climbing up to the Kou Mansion. It's that the Kou Mansion can survive in this mess by climbing up to me.
Be polite to me...
I can disrupt this mess and give the Kou government the upper hand.
I can also make this mess return to its original state..."
…
A night of silence.
The next day.
early morning.
After Kou Ji got up, he did not see Wang Kou, nor did he enjoy the delicious food Wang Kou had promised him.
There was only a simple meal sent by the maid.
When Kou Ji was eating, he asked the maid who was waiting for him. After learning that Wang Kou left the mansion early in the morning, he said nothing more.
After dinner, Kou Ji left the palace without staying long.
Kou Ji did not go back home, but went to a wine shop, ordered two pots of sweet wine, ordered a few side dishes, and sat down to drink by himself.
He sat in the wine shop for an hour.
When he saw a group of strong men, surrounded by several horses, passing by, he called the waiters from the wine shop.
Kou Ji threw a few copper coins to the waiter in the wine shop and said, "Go and invite the gentleman on the horse to come over and sit down. If he asks, just tell him that Kou Ji invites you."
"I understand, little one."
The waiter in the wine shop did not refuse, he often invited people like this.
He nodded and bowed, took Kou Ji's money, and left the restaurant.
Not long after, I saw a group of strong men, surrounded by a slightly fat middle-aged man, entering the wine shop.
This group of people was very domineering. When they entered the wine shop, they kicked out all the guests in the wine shop.
The owner of the wine shop looked at the group of people with a grimace and kept begging for mercy.
After the middle-aged man threw him a piece of silver, he immediately regained his smile and invited him into the wine shop with the most humble attitude.
The middle-aged man entered the wine shop and went straight to Kou Ji.
Before anyone could reach Kou Ji, a voice sounded first, "You are so arrogant. If you want to see me, you don't even go to my house to visit me. Instead, you ask me to move over."
When Kou Ji saw the middle-aged man, he quickly stood up and saluted, "My nephew Kou Ji, I have met Uncle Liu."
Liu Mei snorted and curled her lips: "I am not your uncle, and you are not my nephew."
Kou Ji did not argue with Liu Mei on this issue. He asked Liu Mei to sit down.
Liu Mei did not refuse and sat opposite him.
After sitting down, without waiting for Kou Ji to speak, Liu Mei took the lead and said, "Say it first. If you ask me to do something, I will definitely not agree."
Liu Mei opened her mouth and blocked the way to ask him to do something.
He felt that when Kou Ji came to him, he would have nothing else to do except to ask him to do something.
Kou Ji smiled and helped Liu Mei pour the wine, and then said: "My nephew is not going to ask you for help."
Liu Mei was stunned and said unexpectedly: "Then what do you want to do with me? Talk about relationships? If you want to talk about relationships, go to Wanhua Tower and talk to some girls. I don't have time to talk about relationships with you."
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled.
He looked at Liu Mei's posture, which seemed to put people away thousands of miles away.
He stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly: "I would like to ask Uncle Liu to allow Liu Heng to serve as an official."
When Liu Mei heard this, she stared in shock, "Let Sanlang become an official?"
Kou Ji nodded heavily.
Liu Mei's face darkened and she decisively refused: "No!"
Kou Ji was stunned, raised his brows slightly, and said thoughtfully: "My nephew has never seen that father, and he will stop his son from pursuing his future."
Liu Mei stared and said displeasedly: "Are you apologizing for my Sanlang? He feels aggrieved, and it's not your turn to take care of it."
Liu Mei glanced at Kou Ji and said, "I know you have some friendship with my San Lang, but it's not your turn to intervene in his affairs, and you have no right to intervene."
Kou Ji frowned and said in a deep voice: "Why doesn't Uncle Liu allow Liu Heng to serve as an official?"
Liu Mei narrowed her eyes and said coldly: "Are you questioning me?"
Kou Ji shook his head, "My nephew doesn't dare...my nephew is just confused..."
Liu Mei hummed and said, "I don't have time to answer your questions. The Imperial City Department still has a lot of political affairs waiting for me to deal with."
Liu Mei stood up and was about to leave.
Kou Ji stood up, looked at Liu Mei's back, and said loudly: "Is Uncle Liu afraid?"
When Liu Mei heard this, she was shocked. He turned around suddenly, glared at Kou Ji, and said coldly: "Shut up!"
Kou Ji was stunned.
He just asked a question out of the blue, but he didn't expect Liu Mei to have such a big reaction.
From Liu Mei's reaction, he could easily tell that Liu Mei was really scared.
So what is he afraid of?
Who can make him afraid?
There is only one answer.
Liu E!
Liu Mei is afraid of Liu E.
But what is the connection between Liu Mei's fear of Liu E and his unwillingness to let Liu Heng serve as an official?
Kou Ji couldn't guess this.
Could it be said that Liu Heng's appointment as an official will affect Liu E's status?
That's a bit ridiculous.
Not to mention Liu Heng becoming an official, even if he was a first-rank official, it might not be able to affect Liu E's status.
Liu Mei glared at Kou Ji, shook her sleeves angrily, and left the wine shop.
Kou Ji didn't say anything to save him.
Because he knew that he would not be able to persuade Liu Mei to let go today.
Before he figured out why Liu Mei didn't let Liu Heng serve as an official, he couldn't explain Liu Mei at all.
"It is necessary to see Liu Heng again and ask clearly about the joints..."
Kou Ji sighed, threw down a handful of copper coins, and left the wine shop.
Kou Ji walked around and returned to the mansion. When he entered the door, he bumped into Kou Zhong leaving the mansion with Di Qing.
He gave a few casual instructions and returned to Sijun Garden.
