Ruyulou is the largest Qinlou Chu Pavilion in western Sichuan, and Xiao Yanrou is the most beautiful girl in it.

Listening to Zhou Mo compare such a lowly person, Zhou's face turned green with anger, and she couldn't help but scold: "You are a talent! How can a person like Brother Boheng have a younger brother like you? You only saw that Brother Boheng was a toast, and he could make you run rampant and domineering in western Sichuan, so I thought that everyone in the world would be afraid of Brother Boheng's failure?" Let me tell you, the emperor has handed over Sichuan and Guizhou to Prince An as Prince An's fief, Prince An will enter Sichuan and Guizhou in two days, and then Brother Boheng will be a head shorter, do you think that you can be taller than Brother Boheng?"

Zhou Mo's face turned red from being scolded by her, and he threw the teacup he was holding on the table.

"What kind of benefits did you accept from Prince An, so that you slandered the eldest brother like this? If I don't go, what can you do to me? That is, Prince An went to Sichuan and Guizhou, if there is no reason, how can the eldest brother bow down to him? You are still the daughter of the Zhou family, how can you be so ambitious and destroy your prestige? Or if you marry a Yan person, you can even forget your own origin?"

Zhou Mo has always been stubborn, and he has been used to lawlessness by his eldest brother who is twenty years older than him since he was a child, and he will never think that there is anything wrong with him.

Zhou sneered: "Third brother doesn't have to be so angry, it was my idea for you to let you see Prince An? I'll tell you the truth, Prince An didn't have any illness at all, but the people around her were tricked by someone and infected her with Zi Gu, so Prince An and his entourage stayed in Youzhou City for such a long time, you know that Brother Boheng is Tusi, then you should also know that in Western Sichuan under Brother Boheng's rule, the Gu Miao people of the Zhuo family are the most disobedient, if Prince An takes this reason to ask Brother Boheng for the crime of unfavorable governance, do you believe Prince An, or do you listen to Brother Boheng?

"It has nothing to do with you, but you are so public, no matter where you go, you will make a lot of noise, the city is full of wind and rain, even Prince An in the deep house has heard your whereabouts, yesterday I went to the mansion and asked me about it, can I still open my eyes and talk nonsense? Since you don't want to go, then I will return to Prince An in a while, even if it will bring any disasters to Brother Boheng, it is all your fault!"

Zhou has always disliked this cousin, but now that he has said all the good things, he has a pretty face with sarcasm, and he never wants to see him again.

Zhou Mo was taken aback by his cousin, since she got married, she had never seen her lose her temper, and today she suddenly attacked herself, so that he almost forgot the clansmen who were tossed by this cousin when he was at home.

He frowned, thought carefully about her words, and stroked his hand and said: "Since what you said is so serious, then I will go for a trip, but if you ask about the affairs of my clan, I don't know anything, don't offend people because of these things at that time!"

Although Zhou Mo loves to mess around, he also knows what he can and can't say, which is why Zhou is not afraid to ask Zhou Mo to see Prince An.

……

At the same time, Shen Shuofeng came back from Jiangnan, and as soon as he came back, he came over to tell Chu Shaoyuan about Jiangnan.

"The subordinates inquired, when the four princes first went to Jinling City, there was some indulgence and lust, although it was stopped later, but there was still a team of servants living in the house, and the subordinates had sneaked into the house to inquire, the back house of the four princes seemed to be not very peaceful, and they were jealous all day long, and the four princesses couldn't hold those servants, and now they were confined in the back house by the four princes......"

Chu Shaoyuan supported his elbows on his forehead and interrupted him a little tiredly: "Does this king want you to inquire about the fourth child's back house?

Shen Shuofeng stopped, he was a little bored in his heart, it was obvious that the prince himself said that the affairs of the four princes in Jiangnan, no matter how big or small, had to be heard one by one, so that he would pay so much attention to keep up with his heart.

After a pause, he said: "In addition, the subordinates also know that the four princes and Ma Youren, the governor of Liangjiang, don't know what they have reached, Ma Youren sent the four princes several beautiful servants, and the four princes returned to Ma Youren two boxes of food, and the subordinates quietly went to see it, and the food box was not filled with food, but heavy gold and pearls!"

Chu Shaoyuan nodded, the fourth child has always been rich, especially Gu Shufei was born in Ning Guofu, and Ning Guofu is a century-old family, and she has no foundation, how can she be this century-old family? I'm afraid that their family will be richer than him, a poor and white prince.

"What else can the fourth do in Jinling?"

The corners of Shen Shuofeng's mouth pursed up, and when he said something...... His eyes lit up: "When his subordinates left, the fourth prince seemed to be discussing privately with Liu Yu, the servant of the household department, about the transportation of grain from the household department, as if he wanted to hand this matter over to one of Mrs. Ma's brothers. ”

Chu Shaoyuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, what is the difference between handing over Ma Youren's relatives and handing them over to Ma Youren?

He frowned and listened to Shen Shuofeng's report before nodding lightly and telling him to retreat.

Zhang Quanshun hurriedly came up to grind the ink.

"No need, go and pour me a cup of tea. Chu Shaoyuan said in a deep voice.

Zhang Quan complied, and then turned his head to make tea.

Chu Shaoyuan secretly calculated in his heart, did the fourth child stand still in Jinling? He actually wanted to give away the things he was holding in his hands? Doesn't he know how big the appetite of these people is? If he sends one, he can send two, and as time goes by, who else will take him seriously?

But in this case, it is very good for him, no matter how the fourth child turns the sky in Jiangnan, his father will only ask him at that time.

It's just that he still has to be on guard, if he looks like this on the surface, but secretly interferes in the affairs of the household in private, then Sun Zhihuan, who has just taken office, can't resist it.

Thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to grind the ink, took a pen and quickly wrote a letter, as long as there is a third uncle in the ministry, and the second brother has a foothold in the ministry, Huguang has two cousins, so even if this small place in the south of the Yangtze River is not his, it doesn't matter.

Zhang Quanshun came in with tea, and saw Chu Shaoyuan write the letterhead, and he hurriedly put the tea in Chu Shaoyuan's hand.

"Lord Wang, someone from the second gate came to report, saying that the third master of the Zhou family asked to see him. ”

Chu Shaoyuan had heard Chanyi talk about this Zhou family's three young men, although he thought it was necessary not to see him, he would deal with this Zhou family sooner or later anyway, but since people asked to come to the door, it didn't hurt to see him.

He nodded, "Let them go to the side hall and wait, you go and give this letter to Shen Shuofeng and let him send it to Yunfu." ”

Zhang Quan complied: "Yes!" and then turned his head and went down.

……

When he saw Zhou Mo, Chu Shaoyuan's brows, which had just been calm, furrowed again.

Because he saw a person who shouldn't have appeared in front of him - Xu Zhaolin!

Xu Zhaolin also saw Chu Shaoyuan for the first time, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he was impressed by Chu Shaoyuan's cold appearance, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

Zhou Mo on the side looked at Chu Shaoyuan with amazement on his face, he didn't expect this Prince An to be even more beautiful than the rumored appearance, he almost immediately threw all kinds of vicious speculations about Chu Shaoyuan in his heart out of the clouds.

With such a beautiful appearance and such a delicate appearance, how did he grow it on his face!

Zhou Mo admired and stared at Chu Shaoyuan directly, although his eyes were blazing, there was no intention of blasphemy, which made Chu Shaoyuan feel extremely uncomfortable, but in the end he threw his sleeves away without disgust.

"Xiaomin to meet the prince!" Xu Zhaolin quickly knelt down.

He knows that he has neither fame nor power, in the eyes of Prince An, he is just a grass people, even if the family is a wealthy businessman who deals in tea, but in the end it is inseparable from a business word, as long as it is a businessman, it is inferior, so the Xu family has been operating in western Sichuan, and carefully wants to get rid of such an identity.

Chu Shaoyuan didn't even glance at Xu Zhaolin, let alone let him get up.

Zhou Mo is not like Xu Zhaolin, because although he is young, he carries a hereditary hundred households, so he did not kneel with Xu Zhaolin, perhaps because he is also a little arrogant, how can he be a head shorter than the person he wants to befriend?

So he smiled and said: "I have heard of Prince An for a long time, and now I realize that the appearance of the prince has been ruined by that small people, and the prince is clearly so majestic and so terrifying!"

Chu Shaoyuan had heard all kinds of compliments, but it was the first time he had heard such a direct and simple compliment.

This made his face change slightly, and he glanced at Zhou Ji, and there was a dazzling light in his amber-like bright eyes, but Zhou Mo couldn't see what that look meant.

Zhou Ji was afraid that Chu Shaoyuan would not believe his words, although he knew that it was really rude to compliment a person's appearance, but he just couldn't help but want to express his admiration: "Lord Wang, don't believe it, just say that I, since I was born to the present, I have seen a lot of powerful toasts, but I really have never seen a person with one ten-thousandth of you, otherwise it would not have been repaired by my eldest brother, and I dare not covet this piece of land in western Sichuan again." ”

Yes, although the position of the Zhou family's toast was given by the Zhuo family, these two generations are inseparable from the efforts of the Zhou family themselves, so the imperial court not only did not take back this position, but gave the Zhou family many hereditary merits to commend them.

Chu Shaoyuan's face softened a little, and he asked someone to show Zhou Mo tea.

"This king also heard about the deeds of the Zhou family, and was about to pay a visit, but he didn't expect that it was Zhou Gongzi who took the lead. ”

Such an understatement gave the Zhou family enough face.

Zhou Mo couldn't help but have a deeper affection for Chu Shaoyuan in his heart, although he was indeed forced by his cousin to come over at the beginning, but now he has long since lost the slightest intention of being forced.

He just wanted to say a few more compliments, but he found that the hem of his clothes was pulled, and when he looked down, he realized that it was Xu Zhaolin who was squeezing his eyes at him.

He hurriedly said: "I don't know if the prince can ask my little friend to get up? ”
