It's past noon, and it's finally been easy to deal with family affairs, and I can finally appease some of the five internal organs.

Ziyu helped Jue help, and the family was just able to have a peaceful lunch. Looking at this table full of food, I couldn't stop talking.

And Chen Xiaoyu also came at the right time, as soon as she heard her subordinates reply that our group had returned to the mansion, she rushed over here, but just let her catch up with this lunch, Chen Xiaoyu knew how the craftsmanship was, and bluntly said that she came early rather than coincidentally.

As soon as Chen Xiaoyu sat down and was about to enjoy the meal in front of him as a guest, Xiao Xue'er respectfully saluted Chen Xiaoyu under my instruction, and Chen Xiaoyu was so shocked that the chopsticks in his hands almost fell to the ground.

"Xue'er has given Aunt Yu a salute. ”

“......”

Xiao Xue'er, can she speak?!

Chen Xiaoyu was startled at first, and then began to get excited again, looked at me and then at Jue, and didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Our Xue'er is greeting you, the elder!"

I looked at Chen Xiaoyu with a funny face, and didn't forget to remind her not to forget to give a big gift when the time comes.

Chen Xiaoyu understood what I meant, and knew that this was a great event, so he immediately looked happy, slapped the table and said:

"Xiao Xue'er is so clever and cute, get up quickly, you don't have to be so polite. When I return to Weidu, Aunt Yu will definitely have a big gift for Xiao Xue'er!"

As the future helmsman of the Chen Chamber of Commerce, Chen Xiaoyu personally promised a big gift that was naturally extraordinary.

"Thank you, Aunt Yu!"

After speaking, Xiao Xue'er happily sat back beside Jue.

With a smile on her face, she prepared vegetables for Xiao Xue'er, and paid great attention to cultivating the child's good eating habits.

Seeing that Jue is so attentive to Xiao Xue'er, I can't help but envy Xiao Xue'er, but I can't completely put the business aside first, because the matter in Luoyang has reached the final stage, and it is also the most problem-prone stage, and it must not be taken lightly, so after lunch, I am also planning to deal with business as soon as possible.

"When you came to us at this time, you must have something important to discuss, and it seems that you can only talk while eating. ”

When Chen Xiaoyu heard this, he knew that my itinerary must have been arranged after lunch, and the food that I had just eaten a few bites of was suddenly a little difficult to swallow.

sighed helplessly, Chen Xiaoyu also followed the customs, and he didn't care about any etiquette, so he really said while eating:

"There are a few things that need to be told to Childe. ”

"Okay, let's talk about it. ”

We are all old friends, and some red tape can naturally be avoided, so we don't need to worry too much about it, and we have something to say.

"One is about the whereabouts of Qiao San, the owner of the original Xiaoyao Building, there is news that Qiao San does not seem to be dead, but is trapped in the closed dungeon of the Xue family......"

I wondered.

"The Xue family didn't even do anything to him?"

"It seems that the old master of the Xue family instructed not to take Qiao San's life for the time being. ”

I smiled and said casually:

"Then the old master of the Xue family is going to give me a handle, I can't live up to the old man's good intentions, I'll go to the Xue family later!"

This Qiao San is the biggest flaw of the Xue family, as the former owner of Xiaoyao Building, he is the middleman in the network of interests woven by the officials and nobles in the entire Luoyang City, no one knows better than him that the relationship is powerful, and now the old family owner leaves this person without knowing what he has in mind, but if Qiao San falls into my hands, it will be tantamount to making the Xue family's current situation worse.

"Childe, is this trying to save Qiao Sanyi's life?"

Chen Xiaoyu's insight into the disadvantages of the times is really becoming more and more keen.

"Qiao San is also a poor person, whether he can save him or not, if he doesn't want to save himself, even if I help, he may not appreciate it. ”

Qiao San and the concubine of the old family, Chen Xiaoyu also knows a thing or two, the rights and wrongs of the grievances are indeed not as clear as what they see in front of them, and the truth is why only the parties involved know best, since they all want to end the grievances of the year, but it is not something that others can interfere with at will.

And this is not what Chen Xiaoyu really cares about, what she cares more about is how the prince will deal with the four major families in Luoyang, especially the palace family!

"Childe, please forgive Xiaoyu for being rude and asking more, the migration order ......"

Halfway through the words, Chen Xiaoyu seemed to find it difficult to speak anymore, because now, she had to start to deal with the relationship between herself and the court carefully.

The relationship between monarchs and ministers should be a clear dividing line, and no one should think of crossing it.

"I moved the four great families, do you feel disheartened?"

I know very well what Xiao Yu is thinking, after all, the migration order is too ruthless, but political games are this kind of thing, if you have to mix personal feelings, it will only add to the annoyance.

Xiaoyu wanted to speak and stopped, but Jue gave Xiaoyu a firm look, so that she might as well say everything in her heart, it was really uncomfortable to hold it in her heart.

Chen Xiaoyu knew that Jue still trusted Youjia in herself, and she was also very grateful for Jue's kindness to herself and the entire Chen family, so Chen Xiaoyu had already decided that she and the entire Chen trading company would follow Jue's side in this life, but if she needed it, she would die and never return, which was a public heart.

In terms of personal feelings, Chen Xiaoyu has long regarded the princess and the concubine as friends and confidants, she really doesn't want to see the day when she gradually alienates this confidant because of the relationship between the monarch and the minister.

Now, since Childe has made his words clear, why is he so aggrieved and unwilling to spit out what he says?

Xiao Yu is indeed a little discouraged, but Xiao Yu also knows that this is a major event in the imperial court, and it is not the ability of personnel. ”

Hearing this, I didn't know how to comfort Xiaoyu, so I could only tell her what was in my heart.

"Xiaoyu, everything that the Chen family has done for the imperial court, not only has I always remembered it, but I also keep it in mind. I also know that as a friend, what you really look forward to is not this promise, and now I and I are here to promise you a word: no matter how things change in the future, I and I will not change, and our affection for you will never change. ”

After speaking, I raised the wine glass next to me and toasted Xiaoyu.

"If you believe us, you need not say more, but drink this cup to your heart's content. ”

Jue also looked at Xiao Yu with a gentle face, and immediately raised the wine in the glass, and everything was silent.

Seeing this, Chen Xiaoyu felt inexplicable, his heart suddenly brightened, he happily raised his wine glass, didn't say anything or asked again, raised his head and drank the glass of wine.

If you have friends like this, what can you say?

Jue and I smiled and looked at each other, and then both of us drank the wine in one gulp.

When I set the glass aside, lest I purse my lips and smile, I continued:

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, if you don't make my mind clear to you, it is difficult to ensure that your pimple has to be put in your heart, your emotion, after all, is it for the Gong family?"

Xiaoyu didn't hide it, she was really worried about the Gong family, and she was even more worried about the girl in Gong Xiang.

"It's really for the Gong family. ”

After that incident, the Gong family has indeed suffered an unprecedented blow and disaster.

"What is the current situation of the Gong family?"

I know what is important, so I don't have to ask about it.

"It's not good, now the palace family is Xiang'er is struggling to support, she has never experienced such a major change before, and she didn't immediately lose her mind, and it is already very valuable. ”

This is not to be expected.

"How is Qin Xuan's injury?"

Hearing that I took the initiative to inquire about Qin Xuan's injury, and remembered that the life-saving medicine I gave to Gong Xiang at that time, Chen Xiaoyu suddenly felt that maybe there was still hope for the Gong family.

"Fortunately, there is no danger of life, thanks to the elixir given by the son at that time. ”

Chen Xiaoyu pointed something else, and seemed to have vaguely sensed that my palace family was different.

I couldn't help but smile slightly, and then asked Mrs. Ru very carefully.

"What happened to Madame Ru?"

"If the lady is fine, I asked the doctor to check the pulse and said that she was overly worried and sad, and she still needs to recuperate for a few days, but it is just ......."

"Just how?"

At this time, Xiaoyu really felt my concern for Mrs. Gong Jiaru.

"It's just that after Mrs. Ru woke up, she actually wanted to reconcile with Qin Daxia. ”

"And leave?!"

I and I couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but when we thought about it, it seemed that Madame's love-hate temperament was probably the best way she could think of to deal with it.

"Yes, now the palace family is gloomy, son, do you really want to visit the palace family in person tomorrow?"

Xiao Yu said so miserably that he seemed to want to arouse a trace of pity in me.

"This post has been dropped, and the promised deadline has arrived, so naturally I have to go. ”

Xiao Yu still didn't give up, and asked again:

"Is there really no room for manoeuvre?"

"It's not that there's no room for maneuvering. ”

I suddenly said something, which made Chen Xiaoyu's eyes light up.

Then I added:

"Didn't I give this room from the beginning?"

When Chen Xiaoyu heard this, he was slightly puzzled.

"Childe means ......"

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, you are also a fan of the authorities, where is my meaning, obviously it is the meaning of the imperial court......"

When Xiaoyu heard this, he suddenly remembered the sentence I said at that time, "The phoenix is not a sycamore and does not live", and then it suddenly dawned on him.

"I see!"

Chen Xiaoyu, who had figured all this, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"In this way, Childe's original intention is not in the migration order!"

As long as it's not a migration order, then everything still has a chance to turn around. Just because if the imperial court insists on issuing a migration order, I am afraid that the major families in Luoyang will suffer miserably, and a turmoil will inevitably come in an instant, after all, the battle of Luoyang did not really damage the power of the Luoyang family, and forcing them to move at this time is tantamount to forcing them to rebel, so although Gao Chen's tone was tough at that time, he gave the palace family three days to ease up at a critical time, which will give many people the illusion of hope, so that they will not have no hope and resist desperately.

"Migration is a matter of time, it's just easy to slow down and not urgent, I have obviously prepared a way for them to retreat from the beginning, why don't you understand the true intention of this until now, Xiaoyu?"

"The little fish is ashamed. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoyu couldn't help blushing slightly, the reason why she didn't think of this was just because she was a little concerned about the difference between monarchs and ministers, and when she saw the matter of the four major families in Luoyang, she couldn't help but feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

"It's hard to endure these three days, right?"

I didn't think about it, and if I asked, I unconsciously sent out this emotion.

In the past three days, not only the major families in Luoyang, but even me and Jue have suffered a lot......

Chen Xiaoyu also had a look of joy and sadness on his face, but in the end, he was replaced by a smile, and immediately responded, saying:

"Everything is in the past, everything will pass......"

"Yes, everything will pass. ”

As I spoke, I poured myself another glass of wine, looked up and drank it all.

"Tell me about the second thing. ”

"This second Luo Zhou pastor has returned, and this return has belittled some officials. ”

From the time I and I returned to Luoyang City, we knew that Luozhou Mu must have returned, and it was just the right time to return.

I couldn't help but smile, fill myself with another glass, and exclaim:

"Our Luozhou Mu, His Royal Highness King Zhao of the Imperial Family, is also an old fox!"

I was about to raise my glass, but I don't know when I came to my side and stopped me directly.

"Aren't you eating, why are you drinking again?"

Hearing Jue's admonition, I hurriedly smiled and winked, and said in a deliberative tone:

"I'm happy today, just three cups!"

"Okay, just three glasses. ”

Nothing to say.

My face was slightly warm, and I smiled as I picked up my glass and faced it to Hon, and extended an invitation.

"Have a drink with me. ”

Jue was slightly stunned.

Seeing this again, Chen Xiaoyu couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, and handed the wine glass to him after pouring the wine himself.

I held the wine glass with Jue, and our eyes were facing each other, and I also had a look of gratitude on my face, and the wine was hot, so I expressed my gratitude to Jue through this glass of wine.

"Madam, thank you for your hard work!"

It seemed to be the first time I had called her my wife in such a serious way, and my face was so red that it was all over my ears.

Between me and Jue, there is no need to say too many words of gratitude, everything she has done for me, I know and remember it with gratitude in my heart. I have her as a wife in this life, and I have nothing to regret.

Immediately, I looked up and drank the wine, and looking at the way she looked at me quietly, I smiled and motioned for her to take the wine.

Being stared at by me like this, Jue's face didn't feel a little red, and it suddenly became clear that this seemed to be the first time that the two of them had exchanged respects and drinks.

Why is this the first time?

With such doubts, she drank the glass of wine in my eager expectant gaze.

After I put down the wine glass, I looked at me with a different gaze, and became unusually gentle as water......

"What's wrong, but you're not feeling well?"

I was worried about whether Jue was not strong enough to drink, and suddenly I was a little annoyed why I had to let Jue accompany me to drink, and for a while I forgot that as a general, Jue's drinking power could never be below me.

Hurriedly put down the wine glass and reached out to stroke her forehead, wanting to find out if she had a fever or discomfort.

"Don't worry, it's fine. ”

Jue took my hand and relieved her.

"Let's eat first. ”

"Hmm. ”

I smiled and nodded, and ate obediently, not touching the glass again.

"By the way, most of those officials who were belittled are the children of famous families in Luoyang?"

I couldn't help but ask out loud, Luo Zhoumu finally showed his royal means, which has to say that he is really a scheming old fox.

He can be calculated so just right, not only can he protect himself when the situation is not clear, but also can seize the opportunity to plan and act when the situation is settled, this is not an ordinary city government scheming!

Luozhou Mu first borrowed my hand to stabilize the situation in Luoyang, deal with the crises of all parties, and choose himself to the safest position, because he knew very well what the purpose of my coming to Luoyang was, so he secretly took care of and cooperated in many things, and he would disappear for three days because he agreed with me to exchange military power, so that I could not only curb the power of the state and town within three days, but also be able to suppress the four major families in Luoyang, and control the situation in Luoyang to be stable. No matter what the final result is, he can keep his own lineage safe, and this hand not only has a credit for stabilizing the situation in Luoyang, but can gradually regain the real power to control Luoyang from the hands of these children of famous families who are vain and wrongful afterwards.

A royal family member can have such means, and it is by no means easy to match.

Now that the crisis of the imperial court is curbing the power of the governor of the state and town, the governor of the state and town is to be disposed of, and the power of the court is sorted out, and these clan forces suppressed by the ministers and governors are likely to become a new batch of enemies, and the struggle for power around the court is really endless......

But they're not a threat that I need to address urgently.

......

"That's true, everything is as Gongzi expected before, after Luo Zhoumu disappeared for three days and came back, he was the one with the most abundant harvest. ”

The strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, not to mention that not long after the new fall of Luoyang, how can this Luozhou Mu newly sent by the Northern Wei Dynasty not use some means to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang City, which is full of children of famous families, and what kind of situation can he have, this can be regarded as his ability to plan.

"He is charged with controlling the army for me, and he deserves it. ”

"This little fish is all wronged by the son, and the whole trip to Luoyang is all about marrying others, and it is not worth it. ”

Xiaoyu saw the situation in Luoyang very clearly, I have done all this hard work, and the credit has become someone else's, so I can't help but repay me for my grievances.

I laughed, sighed from the bottom of my heart, and said:

"How do you know I get less than he gets?!"

On this trip to Luoyang, the person who got the most should be me.
