Let's say that Qu Wu and the others didn't know how to respond to Ye Xiu's question, someone walked in at the door, everyone heard the sound of someone talking, and they all looked in the direction of the door, and when Ye Xiu saw this person, he hurriedly got up and saluted: "Master, how could it be that you are here in person?" ”

It turned out that it was none other than Pan Hong's father---- Taishi Pan Chong. He is not an ordinary character, he is the master of King Chu Mu, and he is also the planner of King Chu Mu to seize the throne of Chu.

When the others saw the Taishi coming, they also hurriedly got up and saluted and gave up their seats.

"Grandpa Pan." Ziyan also hurriedly said hello, Ziyan often saw Pan Chong playing chess and chatting with her grandfather Zibo when she was a child, but she didn't expect him to come here to help her in person.

Pan Hong stepped forward and introduced Qu Wu to Pan Zhen.

"Taishi, I have admired the prestige of Taishi for a long time, and it is a blessing to meet you today." Qu Wu said.

"Mr. Qu is magnificent, and he is extraordinary at first glance. I heard that you are from overseas and have excellent intelligence, and King Mu is now eager to find talent, hoping that one day you will be used by the State of Chu. ”

"Where is it, the Taishi has a good reputation, he is just an ordinary businessman, and now he is communicating the exchange of goods between Wu and Chu, which can be regarded as making a modest contribution to the development of the two places." Qu Wu said.

After the Taishi sat down, Qu Wu hurriedly went out of the private room to let the restaurant serve the food as soon as possible, and saw that there were no other guests outside, and the Taishi's guards had already controlled the entire restaurant to ensure the safety of the Taishi.

"Lord Sikong, Miss Ziyan grew up under my watch, so there should be no problem for me to be her witness, right?" Pan Chong asked Ye Xiudao again.

"Of course, Taishi is highly respected. However, the contract of this mansion ...... "Sikong has beads of sweat on his forehead, and he is a little unwilling to admit defeat, and wants to use the contract to prevent the return of the mansion."

What Ye Xiu didn't expect was that Zi Yan took out a slip and handed it to Pan Chong: "Grandpa Pan, at this time, my grandfather personally handed over the contract to me." ”

Pan Chong took the slip, opened it and looked at it, and then handed it to Ye Xiu: "Lord Sikong, you are specialized in managing land, you should be able to see the authenticity of this, right?" ”

Lord Sikong took it, looked at it, and said, "The contract is correct, Taishi." As he spoke, he handed the slip back to Pan Chong.

"Miss Ziyan, since it is the Taishi as a guarantor, and your contract is correct, the Ye family has no reason to continue to live in your family's mansion. In this case, I hope you will be forgiving us to move for a while, and we will return the house to you in its original form, how about it? Lord Sikong had no choice but to give in unconditionally and said to Ziyan.

"Absolutely." Ziyan said.

When they discussed this matter, Qu Wu and Qi Hong never interjected, because they both knew that they were outsiders in this discussion and could care, but they had no right to speak.

However, in Ziyan's view, Qu Wu is not an outsider, because his grandfather handed this contract to Qu Wu when he was dying, which means that if there is a chance in the future, Mr. Qu Wu will inherit this ancestral business, because this is a man's world, and women will always be just men's vassals.

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, there was no tension or anxiety, and Qu Wu also took out a fine wine to taste with everyone, which also surprised and praised Taishi and Sikong.

After the banquet, Ye Xiu and his wife said goodbye and left, Pan Chong was in a good mood and continued to chat with everyone.

"Zi Yan, King Mu has decided to forgive your grandfather Mr. Zi Bo and your son's family, since you have returned to Yingdu, I will ask King Chu Mu to return the bronze seal of your family's title, re-grant the earl title, and return all your fiefs." Pan Zhen said to Ziyan.

"Grandpa Pan is as kind to our son's family, and it is difficult for the son's family to repay him." Ziyan said.

"Zi Yan, the Zi family was in disaster, and the old man was also powerless at the beginning, I hope you will understand. Also, you have to be knighted by a man from your family to lead it, how do you think this matter can be solved? ”

"Grandpa Pan, can you postpone reporting to King Mu about the knighthood, and I'll talk about it after I find my younger brother and return."

"Of course, since this matter has been delayed for several years, it should not hurt to delay it for a few months, so I will not mention this matter in front of King Mu for the time being. It is estimated that it will take at least ten days for the Ye family to move, and that will be before the Zijia mansion will be returned, you can take the house back first, and the old man will invite King Mu again before the end of March, and then the Zijia fief and title will be returned to you together, wouldn't it be better? ”

"Okay, Grandpa Pan, Ziyan listens to you, and this matter must be implemented before the end of March."

"Mr. Qu, the old man's son-in-law has already introduced the relationship between Ziyan and you before, so now everyone is not an outsider. Miss Ziyan will resume her ancestral business from today, but as a woman, there is too much resistance to complete this matter, and the renewal of the title must fall on the man, do you understand what the old man means? Taishi said.

"Taishi, although Qu Wu is dull, he can understand your painstaking efforts, and he should live up to Taishi's expectations." Qu Wu said, understanding that the Taishi hoped that Qu Wu would help Zi Yan find her disciple Zigui as soon as possible, and if he couldn't find it, he would inherit the title.

"Okay, it's useless to say more, since Mr. Qu understands, I don't need to say more about the old man. There are still important matters in the court, and the old man retires. Taishi said.

"The master is slow, Qu Wu still has a small gift to offer, which is not a tribute." Qu Wu said, holding a large bag containing two bottles of wine, a cashmere sweater, a mirror, and a dozen cotton socks.

The master was very happy after taking it, handed it to his entourage and walked out of the private room.

Ziyan was very happy today, and the helpless expressions of Ye Xiu and his wife made her very relieved. Although she felt that it was too difficult for her to restore her ancestral family by a woman, she was still full of confidence with Qu Wu by her side.

"Qu Wu, Zi Yan, what are you planning these days? I know that you are still shouldering the task of sending food back to Gusu, and now the loading should have been completed, Ziyan's affairs have just started, and there are many things to do, you see what we can do for you. Qi Hong asked.

"Mr. Mi, Mrs. Mi, before Ziyan and I came to Ying, we were just to buy food, I didn't expect that the affairs of Ziyan's family would take a turn for the better, let alone that I would get such sincere help from you so that the affairs of Ziyan's family could be solved smoothly. Now it is very important to go back to Gusu to send food, but Ziyan is also very eager to find her younger brother to inherit the title, my idea is that I will lead the fleet back to Gusu alone, and Ziyan will entrust you to take care of it, and when I transport the food back, I will return to Yingdu immediately, so as not to make Ziyan tired of traveling on the boat. ”

Ziyan sat aside and didn't say anything, she didn't have a claim at once, and she didn't know what to do. Of course, it is important to find younger brothers and sisters, if they are successfully found, the younger brother Zigui and the younger sister Zixin are both only thirteen years old, and they will definitely be inseparable from her sister; If it is not easy to find, in addition to the painstaking search, there are also many things to be done to restore the ancestral business of the Zi family.

Restoring the Zi family's family in Yingdu means cutting off everything between herself and Gusu, and those partners who used to get along with her day and night have not had time to say goodbye, Zi Yan fell into anxiety.

"Well, there's no silver bullet right now, so it's best. Ziyan can also think of a way to try to find her younger siblings first. But Mr. Qu, don't worry, if you leave Ziyan to us with confidence, we will be responsible for her life and safety. Mrs. Mi said.

"There are Mr. Lao Mi and Mrs. Mi, Qu Wu is very grateful."

After Mi Hong and his wife left, Ziyan was still there in a daze.

"Ziyan, what's wrong with you?"

"I want to go back to Gusu with you first."

"But the matter on your side is too urgent, and it will take too much time to come and go, and besides, I will come back as soon as I finish dealing with the food."

"Brother, although Mr. Mi and Mrs. Mi think that we are a family, but we are not really we, and the people on the other side of Gusu don't know the current situation between us, you still have so many things to deal with in Gusu, I am worried about ......"

"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, although we are still in a relationship, it does not affect my sense of responsibility to you, I will leave the affairs of Gusu to Da Mao and them to take care of, I will transport the food to Yingdu immediately. ”

"My younger siblings have been living with their adoptive parents for a few years, and they shouldn't care about staying for more than ten days, and besides, if you are not there, it will be inconvenient for me as a woman to do these things to find relatives. Ziyan means to go to Gusu with you, those brothers and sisters are our closest people, Ziyan not only wants to say goodbye to them, but also hopes to let them witness our feelings. Ziyan feels that compared to the house and title, the love between Qu Wu and Qu Wu is the most important. It is necessary to declare the "sovereignty" of Qu Wu in front of those brothers and sisters in Gusu and remind those who try to get involved.
