Chapter 9: Don't Come to the Sea

Yi Ying also stood up and looked at the two men blankly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The middle-aged man was very happy when he saw Yiying, "Lan'er is also back today, just in time, our family has a reunion dinner." The young man's eyes sparkled, and he said in surprise: "Sister!"

"Why did you come back so early today? I haven't cooked yet, let's have some tea and snacks to fill my stomach, your father and daughter brothers and sisters will talk first, and I'll go cook." Qin was a little helpless, but his expression was very pleasant, and he tied his overcoat as he spoke, and went to the kitchen.

The young man was very happy when he heard this, and sat down on the kang with a golden knife, and ate most of the dim sum on the kang table like a storm.

Zhou Chi looked at his son helplessly and said, "You kid, you know how to eat as soon as you come back, and you don't talk to your sister, be careful not to eat if you eat too much dim sum." ”

Zhou Lang said indifferently: "Dad, I'm growing up, and it's not too much to eat five or six meals a day." Scratching his head a little embarrassed, he beckoned Yiying and said, "Ah, sister, come and eat some too, there is still a little left." ”

Yi Yingqiang held back the tears in her eyes. It's good that she met her adoptive father who died early in her previous life, and her brother Zhou Lang, who has always protected her, can still live here as a family member. It's a good feeling.

Therefore, she must be careful to protect all this, and she will not live that kind of fragmented and terrified life again.

She smiled and warned her brother: "Brother, if you eat too much dim sum, you will accumulate food, so you have to be careful." Zhou Lang was stunned when he heard this, and put down the snack in his hand that he wanted to stuff into his mouth.

"He will listen to you. Zhou Chi shook his head with a smile, looking helpless.

Yiying's heart is slightly warm, and she feels like a family, so good. She looked at Zhou Chi and remembered the conversation with the Qin family in the afternoon, and suddenly became nervous again.

"I heard my mother say that my father is going to transport goods by water next month?" Yi Ying said.

Zhou Chi nodded with a smile and said, "This time it may take a long time to go, so you have to take care of yourself." Zhou Lang's expression on the side did not change, and he seemed to have known it for a long time.

As soon as she was in a hurry, she said what she had said to the Qin clan to Zhou Chi again. Zhou Chi frowned, but he didn't care very much: "I haven't heard of this matter, but you can't tell if you hear it." Besides, the escort team of the cargo family is also following this time, so there should be nothing wrong. Yi Ying sighed secretly, after all, Zhou Chi is a big man who has been working outside for many years, and he has knowledge and connections, but he is not as easy to fool as the Qin family.

She had no choice but to glance at Zhou Chi, "Dad, I remember that there is a travelogue book in your study, and I suddenly want to see it, you can help me find it." ”

Zhou Lang has always been only interested in settling accounts, and he doesn't like poetry, books, and travelogues, and he doesn't react much when he hears it. Zhou Chi was stunned, but he didn't make a sound and followed.

The father and daughter entered the study. It is said to be a study, but in fact it is just a small room with some books on top of Duobao Grid and a desk.

Zhou Chi was the first to speak: "Is there anything that even your brother and mother can't hear?"

"I heard that this goods are going to be dedicated to the third prince?" Yi Ying clenched his palms.

Zhou Chi nodded, looking at his daughter inexplicably.

"Daddy, do you know that the future husband of the eldest lady is a princeling, and why does the lord want to please the third prince?" Yi Ying said directly.

"Are you standing up for the eldest lady?" Zhou Chi's eyes were a little strange, he didn't expect his daughter to be so loyal to the eldest lady.

Yi Ying was stunned, and said secretly: She did something like that to me, and the ghost came out for her! She hurriedly said: "No, I was thinking that the master wanted to stand in line?"

Zhou Chi heard her talk about political affairs, his face changed, and he didn't want to talk about it more: "I can't interfere with the master's thoughts, the master's move must have his intentions, and our subordinates will do it." He paused, and added: "Besides, the third prince has always been attached to the crown prince, and the prince also respects him very much, where is there any saying about taking sides?"

Her heart jumped, although her adoptive father said that he couldn't guess the intentions of the above, but after all, he had been with Master Zhao for many years, and his thoughts more or less represented Lord Zhao's thoughts. I'm afraid that Master Zhao can't climb the line of the prince, so he turned his attention to the three princes who have never cultivated party henchmen and seem to want to be auxiliary ministers.

It's just that he didn't know that these two, one is a honey-bellied sword, who has never let down his guard for many years, and is bent on getting rid of the latter, and then spits out the poisonous snake of the snake hyacinth, and the other is a tiger who has been dormant for many years, pretending to be asleep and has no ambition. Because of their identities, no matter how peaceful the atmosphere of the two is on the surface, it is impossible for them to be truly brothers, friends and brothers.

The three princes have never cultivated party henchmen, but Master Zhao wants to give him a gift, either his brain is broken, or this gift is what the three princes need very much. After all, Master Zhao has been in the officialdom for many years, and the former possibility is basically ruled out. And if this gift is what the third prince needs, then once the crown prince finds out, he will definitely destroy it by all means and never let the opponent benefit. In this case, it is very likely that he will use the hands of pirates to get rid of all those in the know and destroy the goods, and the matter of the previous life will make sense.

It's just that what kind of gift is it that the third prince needs very much? She counted the time in her mind and thought of a possibility.

"This gift, has the third prince decided to accept it as a birthday gift for the emperor's longevity?" Yiying remembered that September 12 was today's birthday, and this year, it seems to be today's 40th birthday, and the imperial court should do a big deal. The birthday gift offered by the prince must be able to get it. The third prince has been subservient to others for many years, and it is likely that he does not have any savings, that is, he has a suitable birthday gift, and if the prince wants to make things difficult, he will have to dedicate it to his brother.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt reasonable, and she couldn't help but sweat a little on her forehead, and her eyes looked at her adoptive father, but she saw that he was also looking at her with a surprised expression.

"How did you know about this?"

Sure enough, her heart sank, and she said resolutely: "Dad, you can't go to this errand." ”

"Why?" Zhou Chi frowned.

"Dad, do you know that the third prince has never interacted with ministers in private, but this time he accepted the lord's gift and presented it to the saint. The prince was already jealous of him, and he was unusually on the occasion of the saint's fortieth birthday, and the two were likely to turn against each other, and this ceremony became a hot potato. The gods fight, the little ghosts suffer, our status is low, and if we are not careful, we will suffer a catastrophe!"

Zhou Chi's face was shocked, although he was surprised by his daughter's words, he felt that there was some truth, and he immediately felt that things were tricky. He was puzzled: "The master has already decided on this matter, and it will definitely be impossible to do it with someone else suddenly......"

Yiying frowned and thought for a while, but there was no good way for a while. She thought for a while and said, "Then Dad, you might as well tell the master about this, the master is well-informed, the matter is very important, and he will have a way." "She is now somewhat sure why Master Zhao was dismissed from his post for no reason and lived a decadent life in his early forties in his previous life, I am afraid that it was because of this incident that he annoyed the prince who must be revenged.
