"I still have a cousin? Why haven't I heard my mother talk about it? Xuan Shijing was surprised.

"Little Hou Ye, since beating your father's generation, I have a slight disagreement with your cousin, but your father didn't take them seriously, your cousin's person, can't get on the stage, the relationship between the two is very good, Xuan Lindao is also the only blood relative of Brother Xuan in this world, this matter has to start from your aunt, your aunt was born in a famous family, is a side of the Li family in Hanzhong, it was originally intended to be promised to your father, and then your father didn't marry your mother, and the marriage didn't fail, In order to envelop Erxianzhuang and your father at that time, the Li family married their daughter to Xuan Lindao, who had a good relationship with your father at that time, that is, your cousin, of course Miss Li was unwilling, looking for death and life, and when it came out, your cousin felt uncomfortable, alas, it was also a sin, and then the Li family didn't know how to persuade Miss Li, and obediently married your cousin, and passed the door. Your cousin-in-law sometimes comes to your father, your cousin has a grudge in his heart, he thinks that your cousin-in-law takes a fancy to your father is rich and powerful, and later, your cousin is worried about the property of the Xuan family everywhere, so the brothers gradually dislike, your father also noticed the changes in your cousin, so he warned your cousin-in-law fiercely, your cousin-in-law was originally smaller than the needle nose, which was said by your father, he felt that he lost face, and his face could not be hung up, and your cousin was the same, he also hated your father, which is also a coincidence, Your cousin and sister-in-law have really come together because of this, since your father took over Erxianzhuang, the power of Erxianzhuang has fallen into your father's hands, your cousin and sister-in-law's eyes are completely red, and the means of doing things have become more and more dissatisfied with your father, so he simply broke off the connection between the two families and drove your cousin and sister-in-law out of Erxianzhuang. Zhong Zishuo said: "What's even more excessive is that when these two people knew the news of your father's death in Chang'an, they ran to Erxianzhuang with a group of people and threatened to take over Erxianzhuang." ”

"And then?" Xuan Shijing couldn't wait to know the result, there were such brazen people in this world.

Zhong Zishuo saw that the room was a little dark, so he turned on the yarn lamp on the bookcase, replaced the broken candle that was about to burn out, lit a new candle, re-covered the gauze, and said again: "The soldiers of the Right Military Guard sent by His Majesty to deliver news to his wife that day are still living in Zhuangzi, those people are all following Brother Xuan out of Xuanwu Gate, and the people in the army are hot-tempered, where can they endure this kind of thing, besides, your mother is also a child of the rivers and lakes, and she drove your cousin and sister-in-law out on the spot. ”

"It's really not easy for my mother these years." Xuan Shijing sighed: "I thought that if there were relatives in our house, I could help do something, but it seems that we have to reconsider the candidates." ”

"What does the little marquis want to do?" Zhong Zishuo was puzzled, if the little marquis was okay today, he wouldn't ask about these things in a good manner.

"Uncle Zhong, you see, after this year, I am also four years old, my mother asked me to go to Zhuangzi today, which also shows that my mother wants to let me, the head of the family, begin to see the world, these days, I know a lot of things about my parents and their past, my mother is a woman's family, it is really not easy to support such a big family." Xuan Shijing turned the brush in his hand with a serious expression.

"The little marquis has really grown up, sensible, and knows how to understand the suffering of his wife." Zhong Zishuo sighed a little.

"It's still a kid after all." Xuan Shijing smiled bitterly: "There are some things that I can't come forward, and Uncle Zhong can't come forward either, if I can grow up a little more, it will be much easier." ”

"What does the little marquis want, just give it to me." Zhong Zishuo said.

"Business!"

"Little Marquis......" Zhong Zishuo was a little surprised, thought for a while, and then was relieved: "What the little Marquis said is that this kind of thing is indeed not suitable for the government to come forward directly, and it is no wonder that you will ask if our family has any collateral relatives, the nobles of Chang'an City, each family is in business, and some have their own caravans, which can go west to Guguan and go straight to the Western Regions, otherwise, dozens or hundreds of people in each mansion will definitely not be able to support them with that little bit of money, and the industries of the nobles' caravan shops are also taken care of by the children of the side lineage." ”

"Uncle Zhong, is there a suitable candidate in our house?" Xuan Shijing is most concerned about the issue of talent.

"This ...... There are only a few maids in our house who were brought over from Erxianzhuang back then, and the rest are all rewarded by His Majesty, if you want to be able to do business...... Then I will write back to Erxianzhuang tomorrow to my brother and ask him to help find one. Zhong Zishuo pondered.

"Probably trustworthy?"

"This little marquis rest assured, Erxian Zhuang is the foundation of our Hou Mansion, the people on the Zhuangzi were all heroes on the rivers and lakes back then, and then we set the Tang Dynasty, and there was no business on the green forest road, so it settled down in the Zhuangzi steadily, and the people on the rivers and lakes who can enter the Erxian Village are all men who stand up to the sky, and they are all hands and eyes, otherwise how to survive the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty."

Xuan Shijing was secretly happy in his heart, this Erxian Village is simply a huge treasure trove of talents, just like the tavern in the online game in the previous life, that is, he is poor now, otherwise, they will all let them move to Zhuangzi in Dongxian County.

"Then please ask Uncle Zhong to find someone, the sooner the better, it's best to rush to Chang'an in the next few days, at the end of the year, maybe we can catch up with this one."

"Well, I'll write a letter when I go back, and I'll send it to Shanxi early tomorrow morning." Zhong Zishuo said.

"By the way, Uncle Zhong, what is the price of the shops in Chang'an City, can we have one in our house? The location is a little better. Xuan Shijing said.

Zhong Zishuo groaned slightly, raised his head and looked at Xuan Shijing and said, "This is not difficult, it's just ...... This New Year, I have to send some New Year's gifts to the provinces, which will be tighter. ”

"Don't worry about this Uncle Zhong, I think about this freely, Uncle Zhong will go to the west market of Chang'an City tomorrow to buy a shop, this money, I will come back in a few days."

"Dare to ask what kind of business does Master Hou want to do?" Zhong Zishuo didn't understand why his own Hou Ye started to want to do business again, but his wife instructed that the little Hou Ye grew up slowly, so he tossed with him, but fortunately, the Hou Mansion still had a little foundation.

"Uncle Zhong will know when the time comes, this is the surprise I prepared for my mother." Xuan Shijing smiled mysteriously: "With this, my mother doesn't have to work so hard to take care of the housework." ”

"Then I'll go back and write the letter first, and then wait for the good news of the little marquis." Zhong Zishuo said.

"Well, Uncle Zhong walks slowly." Xuan Shijing got up to send him off.

Zhong Zishuo left the study and came to the hall.

"Madam, the little marquis wants to do business, and he told me to have a store in the west market of Chang'an City tomorrow."

"Hmm." Wang put down the teacup in his hand: "As he tosses, Jing'er has to slowly learn to take care of this Hou Mansion, but today Brother Sun said that Jing'er's body, I still can't rest assured." ”
