Cui Changjian was shocked by the proud words of King Ruijun, and his heart jumped a few times, and he secretly applauded the trick his sister used today.

Hurriedly stood up with a smile, hugged his fists and bowed down, and began to secretly calculate in his heart, when he went back tonight, he had to make it clear to his grandmother, and he would get the shop as soon as possible, and he would be at ease sooner, right?

If he procrastinated and didn't open his mouth some time ago, it was because Cui Changjian had a dispensable attitude, although he said that he was born to do business, but he has always just had the mentality of playing.

After all, he is the future head of the second room of Cui Mansion, and he must be a person who has to take a career in office, if Cui Changjian is happy, not to mention what the reaction of Cui Mansion is, first of all, his father-in-law will blow up his hair first, that is a general from the army!

Are you afraid that you will not be able to carry a spear and kill the general?

But looking at it again today, King Rui is still very concerned about this matter, no matter what the purpose of this county prince is, just say that Cui Changjian now wants to have a good relationship with others, and this teahouse business must be opened vigorously.

Cui Changjian still has a very good idea of whether this teahouse makes money or not, Cui Wanqing's façade on Gulou South Street, he has already gone around in person, and it is indeed a good façade for the upper and lower grounds.

In addition, it is five rooms wide, three stories high, and there are two courtyards in the back, which is really rare and unseekly.

This shop, Cao Yunxiu originally sold pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books and travelogues, and now it is unchanged, it is still his own business, but it is the eldest aunt who is in charge, but I heard that the business is very bad, and it is losing money every year.

Cui Changjian will find out the clear news, and compare it with the business in the shop, and immediately know that there is something greasy in it, and when he heard that the manager of this shop is the youngest son of his own aunt and grandmother, he smiled silently.

Cui Changjian is a shrewd person? Can you understand what your little ninth sister has in mind?

Although it is a bit of a use of his second-room grandson, Cui Changjian is still the biggest beneficiary, so he doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with Cui Wanqing pulling him into this pool.

This façade should have been Cui Wanqing's thing, and he was an elder brother, so he should help his sister get it back.

However, judging from the current situation, after ten years, Cao Yunxiu's dowry shop, Grange, has formed a huge circle of interests.

If you want to ask for all the things you want to come back in one breath right now, it will inevitably cause an uproar between the long room and the second room, but as long as you will have a façade, Cui Changjian is still very sure.

In addition, now the king of Ruijun is also involved, Cui Changjian dares to bet that the eldest uncle will definitely let the eldest uncle hand over the deed, after all, the eldest uncle's cousin has always been based on the interests of the Cui Mansion, and the previous behavior of officialdom is heavy.

In the eyes of the eldest uncle, being able to make friends with a noble person like King Ruijun, who is not only noble but will not be involved in the matter of stomping on the prince, is the greatest protection talisman sought for the Cui Mansion.

So don't say it's a façade, even if it's three, Cui Yongxin will definitely not stumble there.

Cui Changjian's heart is like a mirror, and he is in a good mood, and he has more and more of the bearing of a noble son, maneuvering between the two nobles and relatives and friends, and others are secretly saying a good character.

Only Cao Xiu glanced at him and muttered secretly, "What are you proud of?" This is all the credit of my family Qing'er, you are just following your own sister-in-law, so showy, and not afraid of flashing your tongue! ”

Because of the lack of food sent by Cui Wanqing, it hooked up the gluttony in everyone's stomach, fortunately, Mrs. Ming'an Hou was well-informed, although she didn't know why her niece and daughter were saying goodbye to the prince of the county, but she still helped Cui Wanqing to save the scene quickly.

First of all, the sixteen kinds of meat and vegetarian cold dishes that were prepared, the private ones in the wine cellar of the Hou Mansion of Ming'an, the high-quality golden stem dew were also on the table, and the dried fruit snacks were all ready, plus the Cao Yun brothers, and Cui Changjian Meng Zelang had fun, and soon the atmosphere in the room was warm again.

This drinking banquet lasted more than an hour before it ended, drinking the fragrant tea, Qi Xuanli felt that the hall was a little hot, and put down the tea cup with a slight frown.

Leaned forward, supported his chin with his hand, looked at Cao Xiu with slanted eyes, and asked without a formal play: "It is rumored in Beijing that the son of Changjian can still get a poem of 100 gold, but the third son's ink lotus picture is also difficult to see the true face, the king of this county has always been curious, today we came to your house as a guest, you as the host, you can't be stingy." ”

After such a long time, Cao Xiu already understood the current situation in his heart, and estimated that these two nobles, I am afraid that they were not invited by Cui Changjian, but their own cousin, I don't know what method was used, so they deliberately recruited the door.

The deep meaning of this, Cao Xiu also realized something, the age of the current saint is there, although the current body is still healthy, but after all, he will also embark on the road of destiny.

Even if he is his own eldest uncle, he has made up his mind to be loyal to the people on the throne, but if he is a junior, he can make friends with these princes and grandchildren, and invisibly, it can be regarded as adding a little capital to the family for self-preservation.

Cao Xiu is not only good at painting, he himself is very qualified, although he is not very old, but he is also very knowledgeable, and his head is turning very fast.

He is only short of doing business compared to Cui Changjian, and he also has his own ideas about the review of the court situation.

Cao Xiu has always believed that his own approach of not standing in line is right, but although this approach avoids the biggest risk of the Cao family, it is also inevitable that he will fall in front of the new emperor.

"It's true that your Cao family didn't support others, but they didn't support me either." With such an impression in the new emperor's mind, how could the Cao family have too much development?

And the best way is to bypass the parents and do something for the juniors, but this 'action', which is a simple four words, is really difficult to operate.

He also discussed this issue with his second brother in private, and the two of them were unanimously not optimistic about His Royal Highness the Prince, this is not to say that His Royal Highness the Prince's superficial efforts are insufficient, and even Cao Yun can't get in touch with someone as cheerful and easy to get along with.

It's Cao Yun who has a little encounter with him, this coincidental one, once unintentionally bumped into the good things done by His Royal Highness the Prince.

It was at the Luwangfu Flower Festival two years ago, and Cao Yun at that time was just the same age as Cao Xiu now, he was not as stable as Cao Xiu, and he was the most playful when he was young.

Impatient to deal with people at the flower party, he secretly ran to climb the rockery to play, and only ran into a scandal in that no-man's land.

And the other protagonist of this ugly thing is actually the noble and dignified concubine of King Lu, Tan.

This is the eighth lady of the Guangyi Hou Mansion, and she is still a few years older than His Royal Highness the Prince, I really don't know how these two unrelated people got together.

Cao Yun knew that this matter was not trivial, and no one dared to sue him, so he only let this matter rot in his stomach, but from then on, His Royal Highness the Prince, who originally had a good image in his heart, completely became a villain who secretly hooked up with his uncle and aunt.

He looks down on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very much in his heart, where can he still treat this person as his serious master?

But Cao Xiu doesn't know this, he is a pragmatic person, and when analyzing this kind of major event, he pays attention to a reasonable, well-founded, thorough and detailed analysis.

He brought together all the princes who were capable, qualified, and had the backstage to compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and made a detailed comparison.

In the face of dozens of dense pages of paper, it is really not difficult to find that the prince who has always been upright, diligent, and bored on errands, neither engaging in tandem nor winning people's hearts, is Qi Xuanzhen, the prince of Jin.

From that time on, Cao Xiu deliberately paid attention to the prince of Jin, and under this attention, Cao Xiu found that the prince of Jin was not a set of styles on the surface and behind his back, but a truly people-oriented prince.

The pole in his heart is also unconsciously biased towards the side of the prince of Jin, if he really wants to make friends with that prince, the first choice in Cao Xiu's mind is no one else except for the king of Jin.

It's a pity that the prince of Jin is much older than him, and he is still in a high position and power, and he is busy with official business, even if he wants to make up, he can't get in front of the eyes of the nobles at all.

But at the moment, Cousin Qing is for his own family, creating such a suitable opportunity, this Ruijun King is the younger brother of the Jin Prince, and the Thirteen Princes are also raised by the Jin Prince, and some people have even said that the Jin Prince's heart is more concerned about the Thirteen Princes.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, these two are the most important people in the heart of King Jin, isn't this the best ladder?

If you don't climb at this time, when will you stay?

The thoughts in Cao Xiu's mind flashed like lightning, and then he smiled and hugged his fists at King Rui and smiled: "Since the prince of the county has this leisure and leisure, as a courtier, he should satisfy the prince of the county, and in the various pavilions by the lake, pens, ink, paper and inkstones have been prepared, why don't we go to the garden?" ”

On the one hand, Qi Xuanhui saw that Cao Xiu, who was difficult to speak, and today he also caught the words of his ninth brother steadily, and his heart was very satisfied, "This cousin of Miss Cui Jiu is still a person with eyes and knowledge, and he can be regarded as our brothers, and he has not done useless work today." ”

He couldn't be clearer in his heart, in his previous life, not only did the Ming'an Hou Mansion favor his sixth brother at a critical moment, but even Cui Changjian took his own Yue family to support Qi Xuanzhen.

If it weren't for these people, they were all people who knew that they could be brought to the side of the sixth brother, how could Qi Xuanhui agree to go with Qi Xuanli this time?

As for the vague thought in his heart, he has long been ignored by Qi Xuanhui, and now he and she are still young, the key is to help his sixth brother and settle the big things first.

As for the rest, wait until it is stable and then do it slowly, and it will not be too late R1152
