As soon as he saw the King of Chu coming back, Xiao Jiuqi jumped up and complained: "Fourth brother, why did you come back slowly, this hour should have been busy a long time ago, right?" ”

Fu Yuanling and Xu Xiuning also got up busily, Xu Xiuning took a step forward and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, I let people make tea, do you want to go to the study or the flower hall?" ”

King Chu looked at his wife and said with a smile: "Let's go to the study." ”

Xu Xiuning was slightly stunned in her heart, let?

The smile on her face deepened slightly, and she nodded, "Okay, I'll tell someone to make tea." ”

Fu Yuanling walked to Xiao Jiuqi's side and saluted the King of Chu.

King Chu looked at Fu Yuanling and said with a smile, "Brother and sister don't need to be polite, they are all a family, are you here for something?" ”

Fu Yuanling always felt that the relationship between King Chu and Xu Xiuning looked harmonious, but after a careful taste, it was not so much like a husband and wife, but like the taste of superiors and subordinates.

There was only such a flash in her mind, and when she mentioned business, her expression was much more serious, "There is something I want to discuss with the fourth brother." ”

"Then come in." Saying that, he looked at Xiao Jiu again, "You are getting lazier and lazier now, and you even have to ask your younger siblings to come in person." ”

Xiao Jiuqi said happily: "Fourth brother, you don't understand, how can you understand the mood of wanting to see my daughter-in-law all the time." ”

Xiao Dingyuan: ......

Xu Xiuning: ......

Fu Yuanling looked up at the sky.

Xu Xiuning looked at King Jin and his wife with envy in his heart, and after a slight pause, he turned around and went to do what he had to do.

After walking a few steps, the ghost envoy glanced back and saw King Jin jumping to Fu Yuanling's side, holding her hand without hesitation. Fu Yuanling was embarrassed to break away, but King Jin held it tighter, and she also heard her husband's slight laughter.

She suppressed the sourness in her heart and quickened her pace to the tea room.

When he entered the study, Fu Yuanling found that the study of the King of Chu was completely different from Xiao Jiuqi's study, and there were bookshelves all around here, densely filled with all kinds of books. The room is also filled with the fragrance of ink, and there is a landscape painting hanging on the south wall, between the mountains, a gasping river roars by, and the waves splash in all directions, which is magnificent.

The seal that was swept to the top was the small seal of the king of Chu.

It was actually the handwriting of the king of Chu, which was really surprising.

Such a painting, placed in the inner room, obviously did not want to be seen.

But he brought them in with him, and this trust was really rare in the royal family.

Xiao Jiuqi sat down by himself, turned around and didn't see his daughter-in-law sitting beside him, he looked up and saw that she was looking at the painting, and immediately walked over and stood beside her, "This is the fourth brother's painting, how about it?" ”

Fu Yuanling praised: "The momentum is extraordinary. ”

When the King of Chu heard this, he glanced up at Fu Yuanling, his eyebrows were slightly bent, and he said with a smile: "The work of spirit when I was young now looks sharp and naïve. ”

Fu Yuanling didn't take it seriously when he heard this, if he didn't like this painting, he wouldn't have hung it here all the time.

"Fourth brother, you are just too modest, I think this painting is good. However, since you think it's too naïve, give it to me. Xiao Jiuqi opened his mouth to beg, if his daughter-in-law likes it, how good it would be to take it back and hang it in the study.

King Chu glanced at his younger brother, "You don't like these things the most, what do you want this for?" ”

"I don't like it, my daughter-in-law likes it." Xiao Jiuqi said as a matter of course.

Fu Yuanling raised his forehead and looked at Xiao Jiuqi, "I like a lot of things, do you have to move home?" As he spoke, he looked at King Chu again, "Fourth brother, don't mind, his temperament is stormy, and he thinks of what is what." ”

Asking for things from people is so straightforward, Fu Yuanling has never seen such a straight person.

"It's okay, Xiao Jiu is this kind of character. My brother and sister sat down and talked, why did you come here this time? The King of Chu asked Fu Yuanling to sit down and speak.

After Fu Yuanling sat down, he spoke: "Does the prince know about Mei Chengchuan's intention to meddle in the harbor?" ”

"Xiao Jiu told me." King Chu nodded.

"The king of Hanyang has taken refuge in King Wu, and the princess of Hanyang has set up a chrysanthemum banquet to have a big banquet for guests, I always feel that there must be something here, but there is no sign of nonsense yet." Fu Yuanling said here for a slight pause, "Let's not talk about the situation in Beijing now, just talk about Northern Xinjiang, I'm afraid that the war is a matter of time, I've been thinking about one thing recently, it's just my family's words, the fourth brother just listen to it." ”

The King of Chu couldn't help but be stunned by Shang Fu Yuanling's extremely serious look, and then smiled: "Brother and sister, please speak." ”

Fu Yuanling sorted out his thoughts, "Recently, the Mei family has been making frequent moves, since Mei Chenghai's death, Mei Chengjiang has become a vicious dog, and under the instruction of Mei Chengchuan, he secretly devours other people's industries. It's just that with the protection of King Wu, the means are legal, and under such a wealth accumulation, it only takes a year for Mei Chengchuan to take the money to lay a foundation in the new harbor. ”

King Chu didn't pay much attention to business matters, but he didn't expect the Mei family to be so rampant now, and he couldn't help frowning.

"What do you mean?"

Fu Yuanling sneered, "The Mei family can use various means to force others to pawn their businesses, have nothing, and devour other people's wealth reasonably and legally. If they can do it, I can naturally do it, and I can make him spit out as much as the Mei family eats. Otherwise, if the Mei family waits for the Mei family to gain a firm foothold in the new port before suppressing it, it will cost more manpower, material and financial resources at that time. ”

The King of Chu listened carefully, and when he heard this, he looked at Fu Yuanling and asked, "Brother and sister mean to cut off the wings of the Mei family first?" ”

Speaking of this, Xu Xiuning personally came in with tea, and heard Fu Yuanling say categorically: "No, it's not that I broke the wings of the Mei family, I want the Mei family to have no power to turn over from now on." ”

Xu Xiuning was stunned, and then looked at Fu Yuanling's murderous expression, as if she had seen her when they met her for the first time.

At her tasting banquet, she was also so calm and murderous, piercing Fu Xuanyi's tricks one by one.

Xu Xiuning first served tea to King Jin, then served a cup to her own prince, and then put Fu Yuanling at hand, and finally her own tea.

She sat quietly beside Fu Yuanling, listening to them talk about big things, and she had an embarrassing feeling that she couldn't get in.

Fu Yuanling didn't expect this, but looked at Xu Xiuning and said with a smile: "There is just something that the fourth sister-in-law needs to help, and the fourth sister-in-law will have to work hard when the time comes." ”

Xu Xiuning was overjoyed, thinking that she could still help, so she asked, "What's the matter?" As long as I can do it, I will do my best. ”

Fu Yuanling looked at Xu Xiuning's expression of special intimacy, and said with a smile: "Of course the fourth sister-in-law can do, on the day of the Hanyang Princess's chrysanthemum banquet, the fourth sister-in-law helped me keep an eye on the actions of the Hanyang Princess, and I had to move around that day." ”

She had to find a chance to look around, otherwise how could she find out what Princess Hanyang was going to do.
