Hearing the discussion of the people around her, Zhou Xiya frowned, is the situation outside so grim? They sat down in a corner of the hall and asked, "Do you know what's going on outside?" Is it really serious? ”

"It's a bit serious, from the winter blizzard, to the spring began to rain heavily, compared with the same period in previous years, the amount of water has increased a lot, all signs show that this year is likely to occur floods, of course, if the summer falls, the rainfall is reduced, the flood situation will be reduced, people can get through it safely, sure enough, God does not open his eyes, then it is irreparable, if the Yellow River is diverted, it is a disaster on a disaster, which is why I am in a hurry to go south, if there is a flood, it is not just a place affected, When I went to the south, I also dispatched food in advance and got ready, everyone looked forward to the wind and rain, but if God didn't want people to have a good time, no one could do anything. Li Mu opened his mouth to explain, he is also in the grain business, now the rain is so heavy, it will definitely delay the spring ploughing, and the grain production will definitely be reduced at that time, the current area of Henan Province is very large, and I don't know how many people will be affected by the disaster, he will go to the south to collect grain and prepare for disaster relief.

"What, if you want to make a fortune, you can't make a fortune?" Zhou Guangbi glanced at Li Mu, if Li Mu was really such a person, he would definitely persuade his little sister not to marry him.

"How come, I collect food, but also prepare for disaster relief, I am not short of money, I just like the feeling of making money in business, and the amount of money does not matter to me." Li Mu didn't care about Zhou Guangbi's eyes, but was very open.

In modern times, he has never enjoyed anything, where can he use money to enjoy a luxurious life or do anything, he earns money now is just a pleasure.

"Really?" Zhou Guangbi was noncommittal. He always feels that businessmen are unreliable, they have become a habit of caring about interests, Xiaomei is stupid, don't sell Xiaomei and give him money.

"Third brother, what are you talking about, I believe that Li Mu said that he would do it, if you don't believe it, when Li Mu arranges for someone to help the disaster, you will also follow." Zhou Xiya glanced at the third brother.

"Okay, good, I believe. It's really a girl outgoing. If I just say a word, you will protect him. Zhou Guangbi raised his hand in surrender.

"Xiya's suggestion is good, didn't Uncle Zhou let you go to the Ministry of Officials to practice? If there is a real disaster, how about handing over the food I have collected to you for distribution. This is a great opportunity to exercise yourself. There's a lot going on here. There are also things such as communicating with the local government and wealthy businessmen, if you do this well, you will be able to do anything in the ministry in the future. Li Mu is also happy to be the shopkeeper. Otherwise, he would have to rush to Henan Road, so that Zhou Guangbi would follow, the Zhou family is very prestigious in the army, and when there is an emergency, he can also ask the garrison for help, and most importantly, there is one less light bulb by his side.

"Let's talk about it then, I'll follow you to the south first, it's just spring, and summer hasn't arrived yet, maybe God is playing a joke on everyone now, and there will be less rain in summer." Zhou Guangbi didn't refuse, it's good to go out and practice some, he can't always be a small official in the ministry, sooner or later he has to find an opportunity to go out, know some things in the place in advance, it will also help him, the strong dragon can't suppress the head snake, he has to learn to know where the seven inches of the head snake are.

Early the next morning, Li Mu went to inspect his shop in Dingzhou Mansion, Zhou Xiya and Zhou Guangbi brothers and sisters went out shopping, walked on the quaint pick-up, and listened to the hawkers on both sides of the street in the morning, Zhou Xiya was in a good mood.

"Little sister, are you and your second uncle hiding something from me?" Zhou Guangbi bought two baked cakes and handed them to Zhou Xiya, after Zhou Xiya shook his head and refused, he took a bite and said.

"Hiding it from you? What are you hiding from you? Zhou Xiya was puzzled, and continued to look around, although the things here are not as good as those in the capital, they also have a different taste, minus luxury and more simplicity.

"Li Mu's identity, he is not just an ordinary businessman, an ordinary businessman is followed by such a large caravan, and ordinary businessmen will take out a large amount of silver to buy food to participate in disaster relief?" Zhou Guangbi felt very depressed, he felt that the things that the little sister and they all knew, he didn't know, it was too much.

"And then?" Zhou Xiya was speechless, the third brother was really dull, and then he could see it.

"He is definitely a big businessman, the Li family is not a family that has been in business for generations, he saved such a large amount of money at a young age, this person is definitely not simple, and he seems to have something to do with the behind-the-scenes boss of Xiaoyao Villa, he won't be the behind-the-scenes boss, right?" Zhou Guangbi's eyes widened suddenly, and he felt that his reasoning was very possible.

"You only know now, third brother, I really admire your IQ, are you still my extremely smart third brother? I don't feel like it. Zhou Xiya quipped.

"It's not because of you, the second brother is a good friend with him, he is your future husband, and he has passed the test of the second uncle, so I trust Li Mu so much, I haven't delved into his identity, I thought that he was just a small fight to make a pocket money, I didn't expect it to be so big, if it weren't for the goods pulled by the caravan that followed, I really didn't think about it, no one would believe it, the owner of Xiaoyao Villa is actually a young man in his early twenties, as far as his business vision is concerned, the decision to do things, Everybody would think that he should be an old man in his fifties or sixties. Zhou Guangbi weakly argued.

Alas, it was too good to be protected by his family before, as long as it was something related to his family, he wouldn't delve too deeply, because he knew that anyone who approached the family, the second uncle or elder brother, they would definitely investigate it, so what did he worry about, now it seems that he really has to eat a trench and grow wise.

"Now that I know, what feelings do you have, do you think that people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away?" Zhou Xiya deliberately joked.

"you, your third brother and I are not afraid of boiling water, although I can't compare to Li Mu in business, but Li Mu is definitely not as good as me in other aspects, I have the ability to go to the army and see who can lead the troops to fight." Zhou Guangbi was unconvinced.

"Third brother, are you ashamed, you are attacking the shield with the spear of the other, and Li Mu has also been a soldier, compared to you, it will not be worse than you, don't be complacent. You are not as good as the eldest brother and the second brother in the war, if you can't compare to Li Mu, hehe, these men in the family, you are the last. Zhou Xiya smiled, because she was three years older than the third brother, so she spoke a lot more casually, the third brother had the best temper in the family, and he didn't take anything to heart.

"I don't care if I'm last in line. This worry-free person has a way of living. Life is just a few decades, why do I work so tired, if it weren't for the loss of my family, I really want to be a gentleman. Play with birds and walk the dog every day. Go to the street and flirt with a beauty. If something happens, my brothers will deal with it, and how good it is to live a leisurely life. Zhou Guangbi looked up at the sky, he also had ideals. His ideal is to be a gentleman, but unfortunately, in this life, he can only get farther and farther away from his ideals, and move towards the five good young people he dislikes the most.

Zhou Xiya touched Zhou Guangbi's forehead, "You don't have a fever, are you confused?" "This was actually said by the third brother, if my father knew that the third brother was so ambitious, he would definitely kill him, the men of the Zhou family, in addition to dying on the battlefield, are proud of the court, there is no mediocre person, I didn't expect that there is an alternative now.

"I'm not confused, what's the use of you talking about being so good, the second brother's wedding date for February 2 is because he is so good, he was sent out by the emperor, and a good wedding had to be postponed, alas, if you want me to say, it's good to be an ordinary person."

"It's a pity, from the moment we were born, we are destined to be ordinary, ordinary people have the suffering of ordinary people, just like on this street, there has never been a shortage of people who cut grass and sell themselves, they are ordinary people, but who knows their suffering, third brother, don't be in the blessing and don't know the blessing, if the eldest brother knows your thoughts, it is good to be beaten, and they will definitely say that they spoil you." Zhou Xiwan shook her head helplessly, did the third brother take the wrong medicine today or what's wrong, what nonsense are you talking about.

"So, even if the eldest brother knows, I won't admit it," Zhou Guangbi said cheekily.

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a lot of excitement in front of him, many people running towards him, followed by a very official who shouted loudly, "Catch that female thief...... Get out of the way."

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the female thief in their mouth is running towards Zhou Xiya and them, and they are about to collide, Zhou Xiya's brothers and sisters are not in the mood to meddle, and they are about to get out of the way, but the masked female thief came directly at Zhou Xiya.

Pulling Zhou Xiya is about to be taken hostage, but where is Zhou Xiya so easy to deal with, with the help of turning over and kicking, kicking people away, the female thief probably didn't expect a girl's family to be martial arts, cold, rushed to Zhou Xiya, saw Zhou Guangbi coming to block, his hand quickly stuffed something into Zhou Guangbi's arms, stepped on Zhou Guangbi's shoulder, flew to the roof, and ran quickly.

"Chase ......" At this time, the official also arrived, and most of the people went to chase, leaving a servant behind, and looked Zhou Xiya's brothers and sisters up and down, "Who are you, do you know that female thief?" ”

"Passerby, you also saw that the female thief just wanted to kidnap me, how could we know her." Zhou Xiya explained.

The official had no choice but to leave and continue to chase the female thief.

"What did that female thief do, let a group of officials chase her all over the street in broad daylight, and those who don't know think she robbed the yamen." Zhou Xiya muttered.

"Maybe she really got something from the yamen?" Zhou Guangbi took out an account book from his arms, flipped through it casually, and there were two letters in it, just glanced at it, and the number recorded on it could be seen that it was the current account of the prefect of Dingzhou Prefecture.

"Let's go, let's go back." Zhou Guangbi pulled his little sister and left quickly, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing when he went shopping.

Back at the inn, Li Mu hadn't returned yet, the two returned to Zhou Guangbi's room, Zhou Guangbi looked through the account book, Zhou Xiya looked at the letters entrained, and after the two read it, they glanced at each other

"What a coincidence, it's the third prince again," the two said in unison.

"These three princes' hands are stretched out long enough, the prefect of Dingzhou Mansion, which is so close to the capital, has been bought by the three princes, Dingzhou Mansion has a garrison, if something happens to the capital, the troops here can be seconded, compared to the garrison here, the three princes have already controlled it, and it is written on it that the prefect gives the garrison commander a silver tael." Zhou Guangbi put down the account book in his hand and sneered.

"It seems that the prince may really be losing to the third prince, third brother, why don't we hand over these things to the prince, the prince's official book has been folded in, and now take this capital." It is expected to be handed over, the prefect and garrison commander of the three princes will be deposed, although it is not as good as a book, but it is better than nothing, I don't want to see the three princes proud. Zhou Xiya shook the letter in his hand, and the three princes in it did not order the Dingzhou prefect to do bad things.

"Why do you want to hand it over, let them fight with their brothers, let's not follow it, no matter who wins the final throne in the future, they don't dare to treat our Zhou family badly, our Zhou family doesn't need to learn from the dragon's work, the Zhou family has reached a high position, if you support the emperor to ascend the throne, how will the emperor reward in the future? Whether to get a different surname Hou, or let you enter the palace as a concubine to show grace, the current situation, our Zhou family does not need to do too much, it will be troublesome to do more, it is better to secretly cultivate your own snobbery is the most important thing. Zhou Guangbi shook his head without thinking.

"Okay, I guess dad means the same thing, dad doesn't help each other now, and he doesn't want to get involved too deeply." Zhou Xiya nodded, "But I'm a little curious, who is that female thief, who will go deep into the prefect's mansion to steal account books and secret letters, we fought just now, her force is above me, I am very curious about her, chivalrous girl." Zhou Xiya joked.

"What a chivalrous girl, if it's really a chivalrous girl, she will be chased all over the street, I think it's almost stupid." Zhou Guangbi said indifferently.

This is a trivial matter, Li Mu came back, and Zhou Xiya didn't mention it, but at night, this chivalrous girl came to the door.

Zhou Guangbi was about to fall asleep, and after the little guy next to him made the bed and was set back, suddenly the candlelight by the window flickered

"Who?" Zhou Guangbi got up and looked at the window vigilantly.

I saw a woman turn over from the window and enter, isn't it the one who was chased by the official in the morning, "Childe is so vigilant, the little girl is here to retrieve the account book that was temporarily entrusted to Childe." The woman clapped her hands, and there was a coolness all over her body.

"What account books, why don't I know, and besides, these girls don't show their true faces, how do I know who you are and what you are?" Zhou Guangbi looked at this girl for a long time, the night was long, he had no intention of sleeping, and it was fun to tease this little thief, anyway, he was very boring.

"You ......" The woman didn't expect Zhou Guangbi to be such a scoundrel.

"What am I, are you begging for someone's attitude?" Zhou Guangbi picked up the teacup and drank tea.

"You are presumptuous" The woman shouted angrily, waved her hand and hit it, Zhou Guangbi kicked against the woman's hand and blocked the woman's moves

"What are you doing, annoyed and angry, hey, my temper, you are like this, the more I won't give it to you." Zhou Guangbi controlled the woman in three moves and two moves.

"Let me see, where the little wild cat came from, dare to spread wild in me." Zhou Guangbi lifted the woman's face covering. (To be continued......)
