"What did my dad tell you?" Waiting for Li Mu to come out of the study, Zhou Xiya hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, General Zhou is just a little reluctant to hand over your precious daughter to me, and wants to keep you for two more years, fortunately, you are not very old, and it will be okay two years later, just take advantage of the two years I will prepare well to give you a grand wedding, so that you can be the happiest woman." Li Mu smiled.

Although the ancients married early, in his cognition, it was appropriate to marry after eighteen, when the pelvis also grew and it would be easier to have children.

But he didn't know that these two short years were a lifetime of misses.

"Who's going to marry you, go wash your hands and get ready to eat." Zhou Xiya ran away shyly.

Two years? It's okay, so that her mother's revenge is also avenged, so that she can marry with peace of mind.

After the meal, several people were drinking tea in the living room, and Zhou Jianxiong suddenly said, "Li Mu, what do you think of the current situation?" ”

"The emperor is old, it is said that the physical condition is not very good, although the crown prince is now in power, but the son of the third prince is also the queen is favored by the emperor and the queen, these years the emperor in order to balance the power of the prince, the intention to promote the three princes, and the three princes have a corporal of etiquette to recruit a lot of people, now the most important six departments of the imperial court, the prince and the three princes are in charge of the three departments, all the highest orders of the government are issued by the province of Zhongshu, and the current Zhongshu order is the father-in-law of the three princes, according to my observation, in the court, the three princes have been on an equal footing with the crown prince, and now it is time to compare the military power of the two sides, and His Majesty directly held the military power before. The crown prince and the third prince can't get in touch with the general, and now that the emperor is getting older and older, in order to prepare early, these two must be desperately trying to win over Uncle Zhou. Even if Uncle Zhou and you don't help each other, I think this final throne may fall on the head of the third prince. Li Mu did not shy away from it, and directly stated his opinion.

"Why, didn't you just say that the three princes and the crown prince are divided into five or five? How did it fall back on the head of the third prince again. Zhou Guangbi frowned and thought about it with the second uncle and second brother, he asked directly without understanding, this is the first time that the second uncle asked him to participate in such a discussion.

"Because the third prince is more ruthless than the crown prince, this third prince is not a simple character. On the outside, he looks like a gentle and elegant corporal. However, there are many underground means, and he is absolutely ruthless, not only secretly wooing officials in the capital for his use. In the place his hands are also very long. Forcefully local officials. amassed a lot of wealth, and all this money was used by him to develop his own snobbery, money, beauty, and power. Do everything, especially the officials under his jurisdiction, it is even more corrupt and corrupt, the officials manage the official positions in the world, with this sword in their hands, many officials have to go through the hands of the three princes, and the three princes have arranged a lot of manpower in important positions. Li Mu told the information he had gotten.

Although he is in business, he is also secretly collecting intelligence, officials, businessmen, officials and businessmen, if they want to do business, they are naturally inseparable from officialdom, and when he investigated those officials, he couldn't help but know some unexpected news, so he felt that the three princes would have a greater chance of winning.

"How did he stretch his hand that long?" Zhou Guangbi had no bottom in his heart, and the second uncle arranged him to go to the ministry, where they were all from the third prince, he was not miserable, he was angry inside, and he was not killed.

"Yes, now these departments are very corrupt, except for the Ministry of War, it is better, but the three princes have not done less to do tricks and feet inside, before His Majesty let the prince be responsible for a large number of military supplies, which are all clothes and bedding used by soldiers for winter, but the three princes arranged for the military department to change the manpower, and finally became rags, unable to keep out the cold, this matter was reported to the emperor by the general, the prince carried the black cauldron, and was reprimanded by His Majesty, it can be seen that even if it is the military department under the prince, it is not so safe." Li Mu sneered, in order to defeat the crown prince, they, the three princes, did everything they could, and they didn't care about the life or death of the frontier soldiers at all, with such an emperor, the future of this country is a little bleak.

"I know about this matter, I handed it to Your Majesty, but I didn't expect it to be done by the third prince behind the scenes, how did you know?" Zhou Jianxiong looked at Li Mu, the third prince did such a secret thing, naturally it would not be known to everyone, even if it was a private investigation, it was not so easy to find out, the military funds were dropped, how could the prince be willing to carry the black pot.

"Such a large amount of military funds, the three princes naturally have to digest it, and finally my caravan was eaten, and suddenly such a large amount of materials appeared, I naturally want to check, and I will find the three princes along the line, and the matter is in an uproar, and I will know what is going on when I think about it." Li Mu said casually.

"I said, which kind person gave that large amount of supplies last winter, it can't be you." Zhou Guangxun was surprised that last winter, a caravan suddenly sent a large amount of military supplies, which relieved their urgent need.

"It's me, the soldiers are stationed on the frontier, it's bitter cold enough, since it's only where it's needed, I'll naturally send it over." He has enough money, and it is good to be able to do some good deeds, and he does not send supplies for nothing, he has business dealings with the Turks, these have to go through the border army, with the protection of the border army, it will be more convenient for caravans to come and go, but these transactions, as the top boss Zhou Jianxiong does not know.

Looking at Zhou Jianxiong's appreciative smile, the corners of Li Mu's mouth curled slightly, he didn't expect that such a trivial matter would actually win the favor of the future father-in-law, so the money would be worth it.

"Second uncle, do you have the same opinion as Li Mu?" Zhou Guangxun asked, since if it is, then their Zhou family has to prepare early, in case it is really the third prince who takes the throne, with the ruthless temperament of the third prince, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not settle the account after the autumn.

"I'm not too sure, but one thing Li Mu said is right, the third prince has a ruthless temperament, and the prince's temperament is a little mediocre, and he is likely to be pulled off the horse by the third prince, so let your eldest brother sit down and prepare, I have been at the border for more than ten years, and it is the biggest reliance of our Zhou family." Zhou Jianxiong did not explain, I believe that his nephew will understand.

"Uncle Zhou, do you need the little nephew to do something?" Li Mu opened his mouth and asked, he wanted to become a family in the future. Nature is standing in a line.

"You are doing business now, or don't participate in the government, wait for the situation to calm down, you show up again, now is the time to accumulate savings, collect more news about the crown prince and the third prince, in case of emergency." Zhou Jianxiong didn't think about helping the crown prince, a mediocre emperor may be better controlled, he doesn't have such great ambitions, if the younger generation is willing to do something. Neither did he stand in the way. No matter what, it's the Zhou family, and they're in the same boat through thick and thin.

In the next few days, take advantage of the Chinese New Year to relax. There is Li Mu, the big boss behind the scenes. also has Zhou Hua's help. Zhou Xiya took Chen Yishan and Feng Ying to start tracking Zhou Hua, and Zhou Hua smeared himself once, not once. After many times, the little girl naturally understood, it turned out that the idol she liked was just an infinite scenery on the stage, but it was a different appearance in private.

"Okay, Xiaoying, don't be sad, it's good to recognize this talent early, let's just listen to his songs in the future, but we can't be infatuated with him anymore, follow my uncle to work in the local area after the year, I heard that Hangzhou where you go is a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and when you have the opportunity to go to your cousin, you will take me everywhere to play." On the street, Chen Yishan put her arm around Feng Ying's shoulders to comfort.

Just saw Zhou Hua's debauched side, her cousin couldn't accept it, she and Zhou Xiya had to take her cousin to go shopping and relax, but they were thinking in their hearts, don't overdo it, don't overkill it, don't cousin anymore believe in men, then it's bad.

"I don't trust men anymore, men don't have a good thing." Feng Ying vigorously lifted a small pebble under her feet.

It's bad, I really want to come with something.

Chen Yishan and Zhou Xiya glanced at each other, why is this little girl so difficult to manage, they are not like their cousins in the eleventh or twelfth grade.

"Xiaoying, you are extreme, there are still a lot of good men, you see, your father is very good to your mother, and he loves you so much, but he is a good man of the Gu family." Chen Yishan hurriedly said.

"He is your uncle, you say such good things, when he took a concubine, when my mother secretly wiped her tears in the room, cousin, why don't you say that my father is good, if you want me to say that men don't have a good thing, you have to be optimistic about your cousin-in-law in the future, if your cousin-in-law bullies you, you look for me, I will scratch his face for you." Feng Ying said viciously.

"Ahem, little girl, say this about my second brother in front of my sister, you are not afraid that I will beat you, my second brother is a good man, let's put away your little paws, wipe your face quickly, and cry like a little flower cat for someone who doesn't know where it came from." Zhou Xiya smiled and flicked Feng Ying's head.

"It's okay to cry, I'm a child, who dares to laugh at me." Feng Ying raised her chin and said unconvinced.

"Yes, yes, no one laughs at you, but who said she was a big girl before." Zhou Xiya rubbed the little girl's head, this girl is really naughty.

Feng Ying turned her head and ignored Zhou Xiya with a small pout.

"Okay, don't lose your temper, I know you're in a bad mood, my cousin will take you shopping, and what you buy today, my cousin will pay the bill." Chen Yishan said generously.

"Cousin, you're the best, hurry up, let's go shopping." The little girl was finally happy, holding Chen Yishan with one hand and Zhou Xiya with the other, and squeezed into the crowd.

The favorite place for girls is naturally the jewelry store.

At this time, Bai's mother and daughter were also choosing jewelry in the silver building, Zhou Xiwan was pregnant, and in order to see the three princes with a better appearance, she naturally wanted to come out and choose good-looking jewelry.

"This set of jewelry is good, what kind of material does it look like ordinary jade?" Zhou Xiwan picked up an emerald green bracelet and asked the clerk.

"Miss really has a vision, this is a jewelry made of jade, is the most popular jade now, the queen in the palace wears this kind of jewelry, now every day to buy this kind of jewelry is very many, this is still a new product just put up, it is estimated that it will be robbed after a while, and there are two days before the New Year, everyone wants to wear the best jewelry to celebrate the New Year happily." The female clerk said with a smile.

She is not talking nonsense, now the sales of jadeite jewelry is very good, at the end of the year the ladies are moving around more, and because of the queen's wearing, let this jadeite jewelry into everyone's sight, and some of the bad material jadeite made into low-end jewelry, sold to ordinary people, because these days of gambling stones, so that everyone is very curious about this jade, so there are a lot of people who come to buy, plus the jewelry in their store is very novel, but also let everyone compete to buy, but unfortunately the boss is limited sales every day, Otherwise, you will earn more.

"Miss, you see this is a pink jadeite, this jadeite is very suitable for a young lady like you to wear, and there are very few jadeites of this color, I don't know when I will wait for jewelry of this color next time." The waiter took out another box of jewelry.

"What beautiful jewelry, I want it" Zhou Xiwan didn't speak yet, Feng Ying, who walked in, saw it and spoke directly.

Zhou Xiwan frowned, where did the yellow-haired girl come from.

When I looked back, I saw Zhou Xiya and Chen Yishan who walked in.

"Cousin, look at it, this jewelry is so beautiful, isn't it, crystal clear, you look pink, soft and not kitsch, it's really rare." Feng Ying beckoned happily, the little girl couldn't walk when she saw good-looking jewelry, even if she was still young now, but as long as she was a woman, she had no resistance to these shiny things, except for dragons in the world, women like these things, and dragons are on the same level of animals, you can imagine how terrifying women are.

One of them was terrifying, and when several women got together, it was the thunder that shook the earth, and the fire was splashing everywhere.

"Whose girl should I be so uneducated, everyone else likes to rob it, so that's it." Zhou Xiwan's disdainful voice came.

"Cousin, let's not go to the wrong place, I remember this is the Silver Building, but how did I hear a crow calling?" Feng Ying is young, but she is not afraid of things at all, so she directly fights back.

"You ......" Zhou Xiwan pointed at Feng Ying angrily, "You are really uneducated, whose girl are you, do you know who I am?" ”

"Yo, you don't even know who you are, come on, there's a brain problem here, don't let her hurt everyone." Feng Ying is a child, naturally she is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, especially when she is stimulated by Zhou Hua today, it is when she is full of anger, she naturally catches who bites whom.

"Zhou Xiya, aren't you looking at this crazy girl?" Zhou Xiwan's spearhead pointed directly at Zhou Xiya.

"I'm sorry, I don't know her well, I can't control her." Zhou Xiya stood by and watched.

"Ying'er, don't make trouble, or I won't take you out again." Chen Yishan pulled Feng Ying and scolded in a low voice, and smiled embarrassedly at Zhou Xiwan: "I'm really sorry, the child is not sensible, please don't care." ”

No matter what Zhou Xiwan says, she is also Zhou Guangxun's cousin, and she, the future sister-in-law, cannot be offended, even if Zhou Xiwan is kicked out. (To be continued......)
