Zhong Xuanlan walked out of the gate of the ancestral hall and looked up at the sky, it was snowing.

The corners of his mouth were hooked, and he said, "Let's go." ”

Zhong You walked behind Zhong Xuanlan, looked at the back of the person in front of him, was stunned for a while, retracted his gaze, and said, "Big boss, are you tired?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan paused and continued to move forward......

Zhong You smiled slightly, this person is used to disguise, which side of her is true under all changes, how could he ask such a stupid thing?

Since the age of six, this person has been changing little by little.

Every morning, he started to practice martial arts, followed the old lady to deal with the affairs of the business house, and came back in the evening to study literature.

Practicing martial arts, even if she was injured, Master Mo stopped her, she stopped on the surface and practiced behind her back.

In the study of literature, it is often necessary to rest until or beyond the sub-hour.

She didn't seem to be tired, and she kept studying......

At the age of eleven, she took over the firm, and in the face of the jackals, tigers and leopards outside, she smiled, and used her cunning mind like a fox to calculate all the people who looked down on her.

At the age of twelve, she officially took over, and in the case of internal and external troubles, she relied on her own strength to rectify the Zhong family, and ruthlessly wiped out the money and debts of those who disobeyed her, or eliminated the clan.

However, because of her methods, the Zhong family has been stable so far.

In order to stabilize the Zhong family firm, he revolves around the firm every day.

When I was sick, I didn't have medical treatment, and I stayed in the study to deal with things;

When he was drunk, he often used internal force to force out the smell of alcohol, and he took hangover pills to continue to talk to people;

knew King Ling's intentions, but did not refuse, but made more use of it, so that King Ling was willing to protect the Zhong family.

When she knew that the Queen Mother intended to wait for her to finish the ceremony, she would marry the two, and quickly got rid of King Ling.

knew that An Zichen's identity was not simple, but he wanted to provoke him, just to let her get greater benefits......

She has taken the shrewdness and ability of a businessman to the extreme, and I wonder who would let her trade at a loss?

Someone flashed through Zhong You's mind, and he smiled gloatingly, he was looking forward to it.

Zhong Xuanlan frowned slightly, looked at Zhong You's ill-intentioned smile, and was able to wander when he asked, hooked the corners of his lips, and said coldly: "Zhong You, I see that you have been quite idle recently, go to Suzhou to check the shop." ”

When Zhong You heard this, the smile on his face instantly froze, and he hurriedly said, "Big boss, I've been very busy lately, and I can't get out, can I not go?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan shook his head.

Zhong You said: "Big boss, Xia Zhi wants to help you supervise the Chamber of Commerce, if Qiu Zhi cleans up the accounts alone, wouldn't you?" ”

Zhong You saw Zhong Xuanlan's threatening gaze, and changed his words: "My subordinates are not busy, I am very happy to go to Suzhou." ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go and hand over the matter, tomorrow when Qichen is in the morning." With that, he walked into the hall of the front yard.

Gonggong Fu looked anxious, saw that someone was coming, got up and saluted: "The miscellaneous family has seen the county lord. ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded, his eyes signaled the winter solstice, and the winter solstice stepped forward to support his father-in-law and handed over a purse by the way.

Father-in-law Fu pinched his purse, his face changed instantly, and his face was full of smiles.

At the same time, Zhong Xuanlan said: "Father-in-law Fu, please take a seat." ”

Immediately afterwards, he walked to the main seat and sat down, and said: "Something happened to the county lord's family, and it was too late, please don't blame Gonggong Fu." I don't know what happened when Father-in-law Fu came to Handi to find the lord of this county? ”

Fu Gong said fairly: "The Queen Mother summoned the county lord and asked the county lord to enter the palace with the miscellaneous family immediately." ”

Zhong Xuanlan said with a smile: "Okay, the county lord will change his clothes and go, and Wangfu Gongfu will say a few kind words for the county lord in front of the queen mother." After speaking, he got up and said goodbye to Gonggong Fu, and asked him to return to the palace first.

Fu Gonggong thought about it and agreed.

Zhong Xuanlan asked the winter solstice to send people away.

After the people left, they sat back in the main seat and drank a cup of tea slowly before going to bathe and change clothes.

By the time I entered the palace, the snow was already getting heavier and heavier.

Half an hour later, the little eunuch led the way in front, and the winter solstice held an umbrella for Zhong Xuanlan, walking slowly with small steps, not in a hurry.

The little eunuch was anxious, but he didn't dare to offend anyone, so he could only follow her.

Zhong Xuanlan saw the person in front of him who was speeding up for a while and slowing down for a while, hooked the corners of his lips, and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, the road is slippery on a snowy day, and the Queen Mother is kind and kind, and she won't blame you." ”

The little eunuch stopped, waited for them to come to him, and said flatteringly: "The lord of the miscellaneous family wants to say a few kind words in front of the queen mother. ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "It must be." Has anything interesting happened to Xiao Li's father-in-law in the palace recently? ”

"Yesterday, the Seventh Prince was sick, and the Emperor disposed of the people who served the Seven Princes. Concubine Xu often went to the Queen Mother to say goodbye...... Yo, look at the chatter of the miscellaneous family, delay the county lord's time. ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "It's okay. ”

The little eunuch stood at the gate of the palace and said to Gong Fu, who was walking back and forth at the gate outside the palace: "Chief Fu, the county lord has arrived." ”

When Gonggong Fu heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and was very excited, and said, "County Lord, you are here, the Queen Mother and Concubine Xu are chatting inside." ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded, and his eyes motioned for the winter solstice to reward the two.

The winter solstice understood, took two purses and secretly stuffed them into the two.

Gonggong Fu smiled and said, "Please come inside the county lord." ”

Walking to the door of the main hall, Gonggong Fu made a report, and came out to lead Zhong Xuanlan in.

In the side hall, it was warm, the Empress Dowager Zhong sat on the top, and Concubine Xu sat next to the Empress Dowager Zhong, I don't know what the two said, they smiled harmoniously and got along very well.

Zhong Xuanlan stepped forward and saluted, and said: "Xinlan has seen the Queen Mother, and the mother is blessed." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong and Concubine Xu continued to talk for a while before saying, "Xuanlan is here, why didn't Zhuang remind the mourning family?" ”

Zhuang Mo stepped forward and saluted: "Slave and maid should die, listening to the joke told by Concubine Xu, I was distracted and forgot for a while." Slaves deserve to die. ”

Concubine Xu said: "Queen Mother, let the county lord get up." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong said: "Yes, you see that the mourning family has a memory. Xuanlan, hurry up. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie." Zhong Xuanlan got up and stood there respectfully.

Empress Dowager Zhong's eyes were sharp, and she asked majestically: "Xuanlan, I heard that the family is dividing the sect, what's going on?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "It is inevitable that the family will have a big branch. ”

Concubine Xu knew what Empress Dowager Zhong was most angry about, and said, "I heard that the county lord asked the side to pay the office, why didn't you let the princess pay the office?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhong was displeased and said, "County Lord, is it because of the branch?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan glanced at Concubine Xu, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said, "I didn't expect Concubine Xu in the palace to know so much about the Zhong family." ”

Under the sharp gaze of Empress Dowager Zhong, Concubine Xu explained: "Now the streets and alleys are spreading, and the concubines also learned about it from the palace maids. ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "But the county lord suppressed the news, there are no streets and alleys at all, if you don't believe it, you can ask Gonggong Fu who has just left the palace." ”

Empress Dowager Zhong squinted her eyes and looked at Concubine Xu without anger.

Seeing this, Concubine Xu quickly got up and knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, the concubine really listened to what the palace maid said. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong looked at Concubine Xu and said, "Please come." ”

"Yes." Concubine Xu got up and stood aside.

Empress Dowager Zhong took the cloak from the maid's hand, stroked it and said, "Xuanlan, don't you think this phoenix feather cloak of the mourning family is very beautiful?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan took a few serious looks, well, the old one. said: "It's very beautiful, Concubine Xu is really filial, and she gave a cloak to the Queen Mother." ”

Glancing at Empress Dowager Zhong's stiff smiling face, she continued: "On the way here, the courtiers heard that the palace maids were saying that Concubine Xu often came to see the Queen Mother, and she was more filial than others, and the courtiers wanted to send one or two phoenix feather cloaks, and the fox fur cloak was nothing at all, right, Concubine Xu Niangniang." ”

Concubine Xu gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, Queen Mother." A few days ago, the concubine's mother got a phoenix feather cloak and said that it would be brought to the queen mother in a few days. ”

Empress Dowager Zhong said kindly: "Okay, you are really good, it's good for the mourning family to have your children and grandchildren." ”

Then Empress Dowager Zhong asked some more questions, and Zhong Xuanlan kept digging pits for Concubine Xu, so that Empress Dowager Zhong forgot to meddle in the division of the Zhong family, and kept her eyes on Concubine Xu.

In the end, Zhong Xuanlan said goodbye to the Empress Dowager Zhong with satisfaction.

Empress Dowager Zhong said some words of concern and let her go.
