Horse House.

This is a mansion rewarded by the emperor, and now it is magnificently decorated and exquisite. The small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, garden grass and trees, rockery and forest courtyards seem to be false and true, arranged in an orderly manner, and beautiful.

Wei Qiao sat on the main seat in the living room, leisurely sipping tea, although tomorrow is the big wedding, but there are not many things he has to worry about.

Sitting below was Chu Shan, also holding tea in his hand, covering his face with his hand, glancing at Wei Qiao with his spare eyes, frowning, and secretly smiling bitterly in his heart. This nephew has always given him the feeling that he is light and careless, and now he calls him to drink tea, and he has drunk three or four cups of tea, and he has talked a lot of gossip, but he does not quote half a sentence to the topic.

Chu Shan put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Liyuan, you are going to enter the court after the wedding, are you prepared?" ”

Wei Qiao also put down the teacup and said with an indifferent smile: "I understand what the second uncle means, I have made a lot of enemies in Jinling, but they are all fine." ”

Yesterday, Lei Chi brought his son to the door, and his words were very polite, and Lei Tao also apologized in person, saying that he didn't know the princess and Miss Fu. Wei Qiao also took it politely, which was considered a joy for the guest and the host, but those who knew the surname Lei Chi understood that this Liangzi was concluded, and it was only necessary to rely on their abilities in the future.

Chu Shan smiled and nodded, now that Wei Qiao is about to become the son-in-law of the martial apprentice, there is indeed no one in Daqi who can touch him.

Wei Qiao glanced at Chu Shan and said with a smile, "Second uncle, I heard that there are some things over there in Chongzhou?" ”

Chu Shan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Hehe, a small problem, a few shopkeepers are just making trouble, and I regret that Luan can handle it." ”

Wei Qiao shook his head with a smile and said, "Second uncle, Jinling is too far away from Jiangnan after all, and I plan to transfer a principal from Jinling to oversee all the business of the Wei Chu family in Tanzhou, Suzhou, and Chongzhou." What do you think? ”

Chu Shan didn't understand what Wei Qiao meant, but he still echoed and said, "What Liyuan said is good, but this person must be someone who can be trusted." These three places can be said to occupy more than one-third of the business of Wei and Chu, and if they are entrusted to Jinling, it will not be a blessing but a curse. ”

Finally, there is a faint sense of warning.

Wei Qiao smiled indifferently and nodded: "What the second uncle said is good, what does the second uncle think, who is more suitable?" ”

Chu Shan's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Wei Qiao's lightly smiling face again, shook his head with a smile and said, "There are no people on the second uncle's side, but there should be a suitable candidate on the side of Xiluan, right?" ”

Wei Qiao smiled and said, "I've already asked, there is no one on my sister-in-law's side, I originally planned to send the seventh brother there, but the seventh brother is now heavy and can't get out, the third uncle can, but the water in the south of the Yangtze River is wet, the third uncle is not in good health, and it is not suitable, but several other trustworthy shopkeepers also have their own duties and can't leave." I'm going to make this trip to Jiangnan, how about asking the second uncle to take a trip? ”

'Turning the tiger away from the mountain? Draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle? ’

This was the word that instantly appeared in Chu Shan's mind, but when he caught a glimpse of his nephew's smile as always, he felt that it was not.

Recently, he has also been tossing and turning, and he has been extremely anxious. He was under great pressure, not to mention that Chu Yi was caught killing people by mistake, and a henchman in his mansion for many years also suddenly rebelled, and he didn't know who had fallen into the hands of many fatal evidence. It's just that the Chang adults of the Criminal Department hinted at one or two sentences from time to time, but they were vague, which made people unbelievable.

However, yesterday Chu Shan had already released him, and the family also agreed to be private, and the betrayed old servant also committed suicide by swallowing gold in the inn, although Chu Shan didn't know that Wei Qiao also played a role in this, but he was still quietly relieved in his heart.

Wei Qiao saw that Chu Shan was stunned, and said with a smile, "What, what's the trouble with the second uncle?" ”

Chu Shan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "No, it's okay." "Indeed, if he can get out of here, he can indeed avoid causing trouble to Wei Qiao. He has been in Jinling for all these years, and he can't see that this is someone targeting Wei Qiao, but at that time, Gu Zi was very anxious and did many things inthoroughly.

Wei Qiao stood up with a smile and said, "That's good, Jiangnan over there, and the second uncle will be troubled in the future." ”

Chu Shan stood up and said a few more homely words to Wei Qiao with a smile, and after walking out of the living room, he couldn't help but let out a sigh in his heart, and sighed in his heart: "This nephew is becoming more and more unfathomable. ’

Wei Qiao stood in front of the hall and watched Chu Shan come out of the living room, and he was slightly relieved.

In fact, both understand that this is nothing more than an exchange. Because of the intervention of external forces, it was difficult for the two companies to merge without scruples. The separation not only solves the immediate trouble, but also avoids the risk of the Wei family being too large and making a big splash. The industries in Jiangnan, the Wei family, the Chen family, and the Chu family, combined, definitely exceed the wealth of the current Chu family, which is also a kind of compensation for Chu Shan to go abroad.

"I'm really afraid he won't agree?" In the side door, a shadow quietly walked out and stood next to Wei Qiao.

Wei Qiao smiled indifferently, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her soft and slender waist, and said: "Second Uncle is also a smart person, he was helpless before, but now he can get the best of both worlds, he naturally has nothing to disagree with." ”

Li Xiluanqiao's face flushed, took off his arm, and said, "The new house is ready, you go and see the invitation, who else to invite, don't miss it." ”

Wei Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, I know, I will marry you in three months, and you should also prepare." ”

Li Xiluanqiao's face turned even redder, she glanced at Wei Qiao as if she was staring, and turned around and walked inside.

Now there are lights everywhere, big and small things are tied together, and she is very busy.

Wei Qiao stretched his waist, exhaled heavily, walked to the door, looked at the bright sun in the sky, and felt indescribably comfortable.

"Hehe, Liyuan, congratulations, don't say brother, I'm stingy, look at what I sent you, this wine is Chen Ji's thirty-year collection, I bought it for ten taels and one jar, how about it, I'll give you face." Wei Qiao just squinted his eyes comfortably for a while, and Ye Kang, who was not far away, suddenly walked over to him with two people in a hurry.

Ye Fatzi used Wei Qiao's poems to pretend to be the second genius of Jinling that day and was exposed by Wei Qiao, and then pretended to be Feng Youli, but Feng Youli was killed that night, Ye Fatzi took the loss, and in the evening there was news that Zhao Yuankui, the teacher of Feng Youli, was about to take up the post of Household Shangshu. Immediately, Ye Fatzi swore that he had never done it, and Feng Youli wanted to find someone to confront him, Ye Fatzi came to Wei Qiao that night and asked him to help testify, and was naturally blackmailed by Wei Qiao again. Now that he has nothing to do, he runs to Wei's house, which is even more diligent than going to his father's house.

Wei Qiao's eyes swept and said with a smile: "Ten taels and one altars? ”

Ye Fatzi, who was originally full of red light and excited, immediately walked towards Wei Qiao, and said with a smile: "Liyuan is really a person who knows the goods, and the boss of Chen Ji is my acquaintance, and he only accepts me eight taels and one altar." ”

Wei Qiao glanced at the altar again, turned around angrily and walked inside: "I see, it's not worth eight taels of silver in total, let's say, what do you want me to do, if you borrow silver, you can leave now, to tell you the truth, I'm short of silver now." ”

Ye Fatzi didn't have a trace of embarrassment, and followed behind Wei Qiao with a smile and said, "Liyuan's eyes are like torches, and he hits the nail on the head." But I'm not here to borrow money, I have something to tell you. ”

Wei Qiao sat down in his chair, looked at him with a smile and said, "Oh? Serious business? ”

Ye Fatzi also sat down, and when he heard Wei Qiao's words, he suddenly said with a straight face: "Liyuan, although I am usually a little crazy, but I am still very serious when I do things seriously, I don't believe you go to the yamen to inquire, who doesn't say that I Ye Kang is anxious and righteous, willing to be kind and charitable, happy to help others, and not ...... to collect gold."

"Then let's talk about your business." Wei Qiao hurriedly interrupted him, this guy has no skin and no face, he didn't realize what he said, and everyone was ashamed to hear it.

Ye Fatzi smashed his mouth, looked at the tea on the side and didn't care who it was, took a sip of it, and then looked slightly solemn, looked at Wei Qiao and said, "I'm here to tell you bad news today." ”

Wei Qiao held the teacup and smiled indifferently, "What's the bad news?" ”

Ye Fatzi suddenly stood up, walked to Wei Qiao's side, and said in a low voice: "Originally, I was going to tell you the day after tomorrow, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to think of a way to deal with it when it was too late, so I ran to tell you now, and I don't know if it's right or wrong, in case you ...... in the cave room tomorrow night."

Wei Qiao interrupted him and ran the train with his mouth full, "Get down to business." ”

Ye Fatzi hurriedly said, "Oh, it's just that someone is in tandem, and I plan to propose to remarry your sister-in-law when you go to court the day after tomorrow." After all, my uncle and sister-in-law are in the same hospital, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the melon fields and plums are down... Ah, what, after all, it doesn't fit with etiquette, and the court is full of old sour Confucians, especially Zhao Yuankui, if he opens his mouth at that time, it will be troublesome. ”

Ye Fatzi was glared at by Wei Qiao, and hurriedly closed his mouth.

Wei Qiao took the tea and took a sip gently, through the hazy mist, Zhao Yuankui's face suddenly appeared in front of Wei Qiao's eyes.

Sharply defined, ruthless.

Zhao Yuankui was previously the head of the Hanlin Academy, and now he is the head of the household department, if he opens his mouth in the court, even the second assistant Gao Qi must be cautious to answer.

Wei Qiao pondered carefully in his heart, blew lightly, and said with a smile: "Who is proposing?" ”

Ye Fatzi's small eyes rolled and said, "Ministry of Labor, Cui Chen." ”

Cui Chen?

Wei Qiao thought about this name in his heart, and he didn't seem to have dealt with this person, but the current Ministry of Industry Shangshu is Lei Chi, could it be that he instructed him? Didn't he know his relationship with the Fu family?

Wei Qiao thought about it, and then smiled at Ye Kang and said, "Don't leave if you come, it just so happens that the Wei Mansion has been very busy recently, and if you stay to help, you don't need to pay a gift." ”

Ye Fatzi rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "That's good, as long as I can eat and drink for nothing, you can let me do anything." ”

Wei Qiao glanced at him with a smile, thinking about how to deal with Cui Chen's attack the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow, how many people will support him, and what kind of position he will stand on the court, these are all things that Wei Qiao needs to think about carefully.
