Zhang Meishou couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

It's rare for him to compete with her, and the first time is to talk about who thinks more.

She raised her head from his arms, pulled him to sit down in the chair beside her, and said, "You taste these snacks, which I and my third sister newly learned." ”

His Royal Highness, who had just finished lunch, also tasted each snack seriously, and they were all full of praise.

"Each dim sum tastes different, and when taken out on its own, it can be called a must."

"Compared to the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room, I don't know how much higher-"

As for the real taste, it is unknown.

"Ahem, there's no need to exaggerate." Zhang Meishou took a sip of honey tea and was a little modest.

"In addition to what was mentioned in the letter, has Your Highness made any new progress in recent days?" After not knowing whether to feed or support, she continued to ask about business.

"There's also news worth mentioning." Zhu Youzhu said: "In recent years, I have been secretly sending people to keep an eye on Gu Langzhi, the governor of Huguang. This person is cautious and vigilant, for fear of startling the snake, so I did not allow the person sent to make a big move in a hurry, just to pave the road first, so I have not found any useful clues in the past two years - but last night, there was news back, according to the investigation, this ancient family and the Jiangnan Yun family business, secretly corresponding. ”

"Yun's firm?" Zhang Meishou was taken aback slightly, "But the Imperial Shang Yun family?" ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded.

"It's this Yun family."

Zhang Meishou frowned slightly, and subconsciously thought about it: "Officials and businessmen have very close contacts, although it is taboo on the surface, but the Yun family is an imperial businessman, and it is not surprising that they secretly make friends with some officials. But the ancient family is far away in the land of Huguang, how did they get back and forth? Isn't there someone pulling the strings out of this? ”

Mo said that the Yun family, even the place where the Song family's business name was located, was not completely free from local officials.

There is no way, sometimes this is inevitable if you want to stand firm, just pay attention to proportion.

"After careful investigation by the spies, it can be seen that Yunqu, the big proprietor of the Yun family, was not valued by the family when he was young because he was born as a concubine, and was sent to the small semicolon in Xiangxi, where business was sluggish, and it is said that he stayed for five or six years."

Zhu Youzhu said: "It was because the elder brother in the family died early due to illness, and this person had some means to make the business of the business improve greatly in just a few years, so that he could secure the position of the big owner." ”

He also said: "And when it comes to pulling the strings, Gu Langzhi has secretly dredged up a lot of relationships for the Yun family——"

Zhang Meishou heard this, and couldn't help but think a lot.

This Yunqu has gone from being an unvalued concubine to the big owner of the Yun family's firm now-

And she often heard her second cousin mention the Yun family, it is said that the Yun family business name could not be compared with the Song family before, and it was really the gap between the shoes and the unworthiness, and it was only in the past ten years that she suddenly made efforts to catch up with the Song family.

can talk about business methods and goods, but the other party has nothing to overshadow the Song family.

Therefore, the second cousin often muttered secretly that there was some backing behind the Yun family.

Now it seems that this backer is indeed not small.

"According to this, the Gu Yun family is really close to each other." There was no one else, Zhang Meishou thought of something and said directly: "The Yun family was elected as an imperial merchant back then, and Jixiao may not have made a contribution——"

In the end, Jixiao and the Gu family had colluded earlier.

I wish you another good head.

Then he said: "The Gu family is so helpful to the Yun family's business, and it is a small matter to make profits from it——"

Hearing this, Zhang Meishou's heart sank.

That's right.

Making profit is a small matter, and what will this "profit" do is really a big thing.

"But the Gu family didn't make any moves in the previous life." Zhu Youzhu said: "Maybe it was because Jixiao's punishment came too suddenly, and he didn't have time to make a move." ”

If it is a relationship of mutual interests, once one party suddenly falls, the other party acts as a backup force, in order to protect itself, hide the relationship, and change the plan.

And the later Gu family, under his deliberate suppression, gradually became much worse than before.

I really haven't been able to make any trouble.

Of course – "These are just rough guesses at the moment. ”

Zhang Meishou said: "Even if it's just speculation, the relationship between these three is undoubted, and you should pay more attention." ”

Zhu Youzhu said "um" and said, "I will make plans for the matter of the Guyun family." ”

Zhang Meishou nodded.

She knew that he was never the one to deal with until the end of the day.

The advantage they currently have, and the clues they know, except for rebirth, the rest are all from his step-by-step investigation and planning.

Ahem, of course, she also helped.

While eating tea, the two talked in detail for a long time.

At this time, cotton came to Zhang Qiuchi's courtyard.

"The girl is here?"

"The girl is talking to His Highness, what are you looking for the girl?" Ah Li asked him.

If it is an inconsequential matter, it is not good to disturb the girl and His Royal Highness rashly.

"It's about the Jiang family." As if she understood what she meant, Cotton said to herself: "It doesn't matter, I'll wait here." ”

Ah Li let out an "oh".

Since it doesn't matter, just leave the words to her and let her convey them to the girl.

I'll have to wait here...... This dog man obviously wants to stay with her a little longer, right?

Ah Li said that she saw through the other party's scheming at a glance.

Can......

Why did this dog man turn around and walk out of the corridor side by side with Qing Yu, leaving her here alone?

Ah Li looked at the backs of the two next to each other with suspicious eyes.

"Since taking the medicine, has it improved?" Qing Yu asked in a low voice.

Cotton was silent for a while, and then replied, "Except for the fact that I have lost a lot of weight and my physical strength is a little worse, it seems that there is no other effect." ”

This time, Chang Qingyu was silent.

After a while, he said, "Maybe your condition is too serious." ”

Cotton: "......"

You don't need to make a special comment, right?

"It's okay, I found a new prescription for you a few days ago." Qing Yu said, taking out a neatly folded piece of paper from his bosom.

"No need." Cotton politely declined.

"Don't try again?"

“…… I still have to run errands for the girl. ”

This hidden illness certainly frustrated him, but he had no thoughts of suicide for the time being.

"The medicine taken internally really needs to be more cautious." In the end, he learned from Ah Li, and Qing Yu now knows a little about how to resolve embarrassment.

Cotton breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, he saw a porcelain vase handed to him.

"This is for external use, you might as well try it."

"......" Cotton took it with a complicated expression.

"Thank you."

After all, the other party has good intentions, and as a brother, he can't be unappreciative.

In the hall, after talking about business, Zhang Meishou was just asking Zhu Youzhu about his past life.

"I remember that cotton was a family at this time in the last life, I wonder if His Highness has any impression of this?"
