Pan Hemei's words appeased Zhu Erlang.

Zhu Erlang thought about it carefully, "Well, no matter if they are rich or poor, I won't admit it, if they are rich, I will watch silently, if they are poor, I will find a way to help!" ”

He's happy, there's no need to look for anything else.

It's not that he is ruthless, but that he cherishes the people in front of him and the family in front of him.

Because he cherished and looked at the things in front of him, he knew that his former family must be either rich or expensive, and there were many rules in big families, and he didn't want Pan Hemei to go back and be restrained, and he didn't want his daughters to go back to abide by the so-called rules.

Now it's very good, if you want to eat something, just open your mouth, and don't pay attention to it so much, it's comfortable and comfortable.

The family is in harmony, and what else is he asking for?

It doesn't really matter who his family is, or not, anymore.

If you really want to say that he is ruthless, he will not refute it.

"I'm going to go to Xiaoxiao, do you want to come along?"

Pan Hemei shook his head, "I'm not going, I'm going to bathe the child, you go, come back early!" ”

"Hmm!"

If you want to talk about idleness, it is still Zhu Xiaoqing.

After cleaning up the Xiangzi, they were busy, and Zhu Xiao went to the kitchen to make a few side dishes, waiting for Xun Muyang to come.

She knew that this guy would definitely come.

It wasn't just dark, so he jumped off the roof.

There was no need for Zhu Xiao's orders, Xiangzi immediately went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhu Xiao asked.

"It's nice to see you!"

"Humph!" Zhu Xiaoleng snorted, reached out to take Xun Muyang's big hand, and pulled him into the room.

He asked him to fetch water, washed his hands, and brought a cloth towel to wipe his face.

Xun Muyang wanted to say that she didn't need to do this, he could do it himself.

But when the words come to the mouth, they just can't be spoken.

He likes Zhu Xiao to do this, do these small things for him, looking at her with a smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyebrows and eyes are delicate and beautiful, seeing him looking at her, she blushed a little shyly, and then glared at him viciously.

A pair of beautiful big eyes are full of anger, but they are not lethal at all.

Anyway, he is not afraid of Zhu Xiao like this.

I also love Zhu Xiao like this.

After washing, the food was served, "I went to the kitchen to make it, two cold dishes, one meat dish, one vegetarian dish, and a soup made in the kitchen, you can eat it quickly!" ”

"Good!"

The two of them ate together, and Zhu Xiao couldn't help asking, "Have you eaten lunch?" ”

"I ate it, I ate with my father in the palace!"

"That's good, remember that you must eat three meals, people are iron, rice is steel, if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panicked, the most important thing is that it is not good for the stomach, you are the pillar of our family, you have to be good!"

"Hmm!" Xun Muyang bowed his head and chewed slowly.

When Zhu Erlang came over, he saw that the two of them were eating, and he had a slight meal, thinking if he was here at the wrong time?

He also knew that Xun Muyang and Zhu Xiao had a good relationship, and there were some things that he wanted to stop, but he couldn't stop them.

Fortunately, Xun Muyang is a man and is responsible for Xiaoxiao.

It can be regarded as Ming Media is marrying.

"Dad, you're here, come in!"

Xun Muyang also put down his chopsticks.

No matter what Zhu Erlang's identity is, he will be his father-in-law in the future, and he still has to respect him.

"Ah Yang, don't worry about me, you eat, I have something to say with Xiaoxiao!" Zhu Erlang said softly, and his confidence was a little lacking.

It's just that he thinks that he will be his old father-in-law in the future, and he has a little more confidence.

Zhu Xiao asked Zhu Erlang to step aside and motioned for Xun Muyang to continue eating.

Xun Muyang's etiquette told him that no matter how hungry he was, he couldn't eat anymore.

"I'm full!"

"Are you really full? I'll see you take a few bites! Zhu Xiao didn't believe it, he stepped forward to take a look, there was still a lot of food, and the dishes basically didn't move, "You eat, my father and I will go to the yard for a walk, and I'll be back in a while!" ”

“……”

Zhu Erlang had a feeling in his heart.

He's disgusted.

But he still followed Zhu Xiao to the yard.

Xun Muyang hesitated for a moment before continuing to eat, this was a meal made by Zhu Xiao, and he ate it.

In the yard.

Zhu Erlang wanted to speak several times and stopped.

looked at Zhu Xiao, lowered his head again, and sighed.

"Dad, you're here for your background, aren't you?"

"Hmm!" Zhu Erlang responded.

"I'm actually not sure, but what those two people said today, as long as they are sure that she really lost a child, compare the two sides, and then put them together, you should be able to know where you came from, Dad, whose child is it!"

Although Zhu Erlang was a little stupid, he was not stupid, and immediately asked, "Have you been to our house?" ”

"I've been here, it's the Qingzhong Mansion earlier, and now the Qingzhong Marquis Mansion, you should be the child of the Qingzhong Marquis!"

“……”

Zhu Erlang blinked, "That's it, that dog's eyes look down on that person?" ”

"Yes, it's that family, if you are really from that family, that dog looks down on people, you have to call you......" Zhu Xiao swallowed his saliva, "Nominally, I want to call you father!" ”

"I don't want it!"

Zhu Erlang hurriedly spoke.

He shook his head vigorously, "I don't want it!" ”

Don't be such a daughter.

He didn't want to go back to such a home.

"I don't want to go back, Xiaoxiao, I used to be extremely eager to find my roots, but then I didn't want to, and now I know that it is very likely to be my home, I don't want to go back, that family, I don't like it!"

I really don't like it.

"Then let's kill and deny it, but I think Mrs. Qingzhong will not give up easily!"

"That has nothing to do with me, Xiaoxiao, you rest earlier, I'll go back first, go back first!"

He doesn't know much about the affairs of the Marquis of Qingzhong's mansion, but just one has two rooms, two wives, and two big heads, and Zhu Yinyin is the person in the big house.

What a mess, he doesn't want to care, and he doesn't want to recognize this relative.

In addition, the palace was demoted to the marquis's mansion, and if he went back, he might bully his wife and daughter, so he didn't go back.

I didn't admit it even if I was killed.

When they returned to the courtyard, Pan Hemei still wanted to say something, but Zhu Erlang had already taken the cloth, wrapped up a few things, went to the yard, dug a pit, buried the things, and even threw the big knife into it.

“……”

Pan Hemei was dumbfounded.

You must know that Zhu Erlang usually treasures this big knife, so he wipes it when he has nothing to do, and rubs it in his hand.

What's going on today?

After burying the things, Zhu Erlang stood aside and exhaled softly.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, let's sleep!"

“……”

Pan Hemei didn't believe it.

Especially Zhu Erlang couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning in bed, and sighed for a while, "What's wrong?" ”

"Hemei, do you know, Xiaoxiao told me, I may be the Qingzhong Palace, no, the person from the Qingzhong Marquis, you say it's ridiculous?"

“……”

Pan Hemei sat up, "That's it, because of the little marquis's mansion?" ”

"Yes, that's it!"

"Erlang......" Pan Hemei pulled Zhu Erlang, "I'll tell you, if you are really from that family, you must not recognize it, although I have never entered the door of that family, I feel chaotic, they all say that the people of Beijing pay attention to the rules, I think that the family does not pay attention to the rules, especially the mother and daughter who came to the door yesterday, the mother is coy, that is, she is kind on the surface, but she is very bad in her heart, and the girl is also unreasonable, we Zhaodi and Hua'er are kind people, you can't go to a place like that, you don't have to be bullied!" ”

"Well, I'll listen to you!"

The two husbands and wives have reached a consensus on this matter.

If you don't admit it, you won't go back.

It's good to live your little life behind closed doors.

People like that really don't need to go back.

Although he is still only suspicious, Zhu Erlang is already frightened.

After being quiet for a while, I couldn't help but ask, "Hemei, what if they pester me?" ”

"Do nothing, just use His Royal Highness King Yi to suppress them!"

"Makes sense!"

Both couples exhaled softly, anyway, they couldn't sleep tonight, so they simply spoke.

At that time, Zhu Xiao told Xun Muyang his suspicions.

Xun Muyang looked at Zhu Xiao, "Don't go back to that family, my father-in-law's title in the future can't be low, why do you want me to have me!" ”

"I don't care anyway, but looking at my father's appearance, I'm scared!"

"He's not scared, he's worried about going back, you will be bullied and will suffer if you go back, in his heart, you are all pitiful and need someone to protect you, and there are big tailed wolves outside!"

This is also the reason why he respects Zhu Erlang.

He doesn't have any skills, but he is very good to his family, and he is good to his family with all his strength.

Such a person, whether he has the ability or not, makes people look up to him.

Zhu Xiao laughed, "There is some truth!" ”

Anyway, the three sisters don't feel anything about those, as long as Zhu Erlang doesn't want to admit it, no one can force him.

"It's just the Hou Mansion's ......"

"If they mess around, I've got a way to clean it up!"

Zhu Xiao patted Xun Muyang's shoulder, "I'll leave it to you then!" ”

"Well, Chongyang Palace banquet, chrysanthemums in the palace, you all go!"

"All going? My father, mother, eldest sister, and flowers are also going? ”

"Well, go, I'll pick you up when the time comes, and after entering the palace, I'll go and see my father!"

"Then what if I make a fool of myself and others think I'm not worthy of you?"

"If you make a fool of yourself, you have to marry me, do you still want to marry someone else?"

Zhu Xiaoxiao smiled and reached out to hug Xun Muyang's waist, "I understand!" ”

"No matter life or death, no matter whether you are rich or poor, no matter how sick you are, I, Zhu Xiao, am willing to marry Xun Muyang as my wife, share the joys and sorrows with him, and depend on him in life and death!"

When Xun Muyang heard this, his heart tightened, his voice hoarse, and he repeated Zhu Xiao's words, "I, Xun Muyang, no matter life or death, no matter whether I am rich or poor, no matter how sick I am, I am willing to marry Zhu Xiao as my wife, share the joys and sorrows with her, live and die, love her, spoil her, and depend on her in everything!" ”

After speaking, he raised his eyes, and his eyes were already moist.

He knew it was a promise.

And he doesn't promise easily, and the promise he makes will definitely be fulfilled.

It's also an oath.

It is a lifelong vow.

The next day, there were a lot fewer people who came to give gifts, more were wealthy businessmen, Zhu Erlang didn't want to go, but after thinking about how he would deal with these people in the future, he went to the front hall again and accepted the gifts they sent.

Zhu Xiao told the family that he was going to enter the palace on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, and the whole family was going to go, and Pan Hemei hurriedly asked people to make clothes.

"Mother, you don't have to be too luxurious, just take out our new clothes, and it's too late to do it now!"

"But ......"

"It's okay!"

It's just that what Zhu Xiao didn't expect was that Xun Muyang patted Laiyang and sent a few sets of clothes, one for each person, all of the right sizes, the most important thing is luxury.

“……”

In addition to the color, the clothes of the three sisters are the same, which is obviously very suitable, and Lai Hua laughed, "The slave said, this color, this style is suitable for the three girls!" ”

Zhu Xiaoxiao, "Just your mouth is sweet!" ”

Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Huaer stood aside, feeling unhappy.

I used to call Brother Laipha.

Raphane called them by name, and now Raphane called himself a minion.

They poured him tea, and he respectfully reached out to take it.

The two of them felt sour in their hearts.

Laihua still smiled, where he was, what kind of person he was.

The only thing is that he is His Highness's man.

His Royal Highness is in the countryside, he is his son, and when he returns to the capital, he is his Highness.

It doesn't change the friendship because of a title.

Zhu Erlang has been really busy these days, those rich businessmen have come to invite him, willing to do business with him, let Zhu Erlang become a shareholder, or dry shares, it will be profitable, and Zhu Erlang doesn't need to do anything, that is, when he is in trouble, he hopes that Zhu Erlang will maneuver around.

“……”

Zhu Erlang didn't dare to take this silver.

After coming back, he went to Zhu Xiao to discuss, he waited for the evening to pass, thinking that Xun Muyang was there, and Xun Muyang was really there.

Zhu Erlang directly discussed this matter with Xun Muyang.

"Give it to you, you will take it, but you have to make three chapters of the law, and sign the contract, you don't care about being a traitor, you don't care about killing people and goods, you don't care about doing evil, if you are bullied, wanton bullying, you come to find me, the water is clear, there is no fish, businessmen want to make the business bigger in the capital, they all want to find a backer, but many backers are a bottomless pit, they all like the lion to open their mouths, and the blood of these businessmen is dripping, now I think, it's not bad for you to be the head of these people!"

"Count it as a chamber of commerce!" Zhu Xiao whispered.

Xun Muyang bowed, "It can also be regarded as a chamber of commerce, you are the leader of these people, how much money they give you a year, you protect them well, don't be afraid of trouble, I will send you a few people who know martial arts, travel can protect you, when something happens, as long as it is reasonable, just let it go, but also investigate things clearly, don't just listen to one side of the story, listen to bias and believe it!" ”

"Can I do that under your banner?"

"Yes!"

Zhu Xiao immediately gave Zhu Erlang an idea, this is called the Chamber of Commerce, not only he has the final say, but the president, vice president, and director are arranged like this.

Zhu Erlang took half of the money given by those people, and the other half was used to do good deeds, such as repairing bridges, paving roads, and relieving the people, but in the name of this chamber of commerce, the names of those people should be written.

The rankings are in no particular order, a bunch of people's names, and they are ranked by lot, so no one can say anything.

You don't need to give much silver, you give a few dozen taels a month, so many merchants, many people are willing to give, give silver, you have to do things for people, those ruffians and hooligans at the street corner, you can't help but let them live, collect them, give them silver every month, let them do what? Patrol to protect these merchants, so that people do not make trouble in the shop, they must also be restrained, and they can no longer take the things of the bottom merchants, if anyone takes it, they must be severely punished, and no one dares to kill the chickens and monkeys several times.

Once those businessmen learned that His Royal Highness King Yi was the backer behind them, many people were willing to spend dozens of taels or hundreds of taels to buy peace.

Not to mention other places, there are as many shops as there are in the capital alone, and not everyone has a backer in the four cities.

Political peace should start from these small places.

Zhu, Xun Muyang, and Zhu Erlang listened carefully.

Xun Muyang looked at Zhu Xiao and felt that she understood everything.

It's like a treasure, just dig and dig, you can always get a lot of surprises.

Such a good girl, he met.

Zhu's mouth was dry, Xun Muyang immediately poured water for her, tested the temperature, and handed it to her.

Zhu Erlang looked at it and quickly turned his head.

I have to say that Xun Muyang is really good to Zhu Xiao, just pour water, he will pour Pan Hemei, but he will never try the temperature.

When Zhu Erlang went back, he was still enthusiastic.

After going back, talk to Pan and Mei about these words.

"How much silver does that cost?"

"I don't know, anyway, there are a lot, I think, I should change, we have to open the shop, this kind of silver has to be earned!"

"Then you have to be careful!"

"Well, don't worry, Ah Yang said to send me a few people who know martial arts, and when I have money, I will also cultivate a few, and pray for us when the time comes!"

"When he is older, let him learn martial arts, boy, you still have to know martial arts!"

Zhu Erlang said vigorously, and Pan Hemei smiled softly and nodded.

She doesn't know much about these, but she believes that Zhu Xiao will not harm this family, and she also believes that Zhu Erlang will let her live a better life.

On the eighth day of the ninth month.

Ren Xiangqi came and brought a lot of gifts.

Zhu Xiao saw Ren Xiangqi, but he didn't see him for a few days, and his improvement improved a lot, "Miss Zhu! "Ren Xiangqi is blessed with luggage.

"Miss Ren!"

Zhu Xiao beckoned Ren Xiangqi to sit.

I don't know why, she didn't want to take Ren Xiangqi to her yard.

Indescribable feeling.

If you want to say that she is jealous of Ren Xiangqi, Zhu Xiao feels that she is not jealous.

But I just don't like to have a deep friendship with this person.

"Miss Zhu, congratulations, I'm going to call your cousin soon!" Ren Xiangqi said with a smile.

Zhu Xiaoyi smiled slightly, "Thank you!" ”

"This is a little bit of my heart!"

"......" Zhu Xiao hesitated slightly, reached out to borrow the brocade box, and handed it to Qi Hao, "Thank you, Miss Ren!" ”

"You always let the girl call me, and I also call you Miss Zhu, how rusty, speaking of which, I am a few months older than you, but in the future, you will be my cousin-in-law, why don't you call me Xiangqi, I call you Xiaoxiao, how about you?"

"Good!" Zhu Xiaoying went down.

It's just a title, and it doesn't matter much.

"Xiaoxiao, will you enter the palace tomorrow?"

"Well, what about you, who entered the palace?"

"I'll go too, but my mother is sick, can I come with you?"

"......" Zhu Xiao looked at Ren Xiangqi, "Is your mother sick?" ”

"Well, so you can't enter the palace, if it's inconvenient for you, I'll go by myself tomorrow, I'll wait for you at the palace gate, let's be okay together then?"

"Okay, see you at the gate of the palace then!"

"Tiny, you're so nice!"

Zhu Xiaoxiao smiled and said nothing.

Motioned for Ren Xiangqi to eat a snack.

Ren Xiangqi also knew that Zhu Xiao was not stupid, so she no longer said this, but asked her if the clothes were ready? Do you know about some taboos in the palace?

Zhu Xiao shook his head.

Ren Xiangqi hurriedly told Zhu Xiao everything she knew, and asked Zhu Xiao to pay a little attention and not to commit the taboo of the girls.

Ren Xiangqi was kind, and Zhu Xiao wrote it down carefully.

No matter what her identity is, she can't be too proud and have no one in her eyes.

Ren Xiangqi is very good at chatting and very knowledgeable, Zhu Xiao didn't like her very much at first, but after this time, she has changed a lot.

"My eldest sister and third sister are at home, I'll take you to find them, Xiangqi, you embroider, I'll point out my eldest sister and third sister in a while!"

"Good!" Ren Xiangqi hurriedly responded.

The two went to the backyard together.

"Xiaoxiao, do you know how to embroider?"

"I don't, I'll sew something simple now, like small clothes or something, I made a few for my brother, I can't embroider!"

"These pay attention to fate, besides, there are many embroidery girls in the palace, and it will be the same to let the embroidery girls do it when the time comes!" Ren Xiangqi said, closer to Zhu Xiao, "My cousin loves you so much, I can't bear to let you be pricked by a needle!" ”

Zhu Xiao heard this and looked at Ren Xiangqi, "You know? ”

"Of course I know, it's all said outside, my cousin has been waiting for you for years and has been waiting for you to grow up, isn't it?!"

"Speaking of which, it seems like this, he did wait for me for years!"

From eleven to fifteen years old, even if you get married, you will have to go next year, and you will go at the age of sixteen.

I did wait for her for years.

"So, you are the person on the tip of my cousin's heart, how can he let your hands be contaminated with these chores!" Ren Xiangqi said, reaching out to hold Zhu Xiao's arm.

Earlier, she was taller than Zhu Xiao, but now Zhu Xiao is taller than her.

"Xiaoxiao, I really envy you sometimes!"

"What do you envy me?"

"I envy that your father is so good to you, I envy you for marrying someone who loves you, and I, and I was almost sent by my father to be a child, fortunately, you told your cousin, I thank you very much, and I want to do something for you!"

"It's just a trivial matter, don't talk about me who helped you, it's your cousin, thank your cousin if you want to thank it!"

"Okay, I thank my cousin, I heard that my cousin likes solitary books, I happen to have two copies in my hand, you said to give them to my cousin, will he want them?"

Zhu Xiao was a little stunned.

Speaking of solitary books, she tore up a lot of xun muyang's solitary books.

At that time, I was angry, and I didn't think about it so much and the consequences, if I think about it, I really want to do things, and I regret it a little.

"He'll take it!"

"That's good!"

When they arrived at Zhu Zhaodi's yard, Zhu Hua'er was also there, and the two were studying how to embroider, after Zhu Xiao introduced them.

Zhu Zhaodi asked Ren Xiangqi for some advice.

Ren Xiangqi's embroidery has been instructed by several embroidery masters, and as soon as he made a move, Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Huaer were impressed.

But seeing Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Huaer's faces full of stars, they also stepped forward to see that Ren Xiangqi's embroidery skills were indeed excellent.

The embroidered flowers are just like the real thing.

"It's beautiful!" Zhu Xiaoqing couldn't help but boast.

"Xiaoxiao, if you like it, I'll embroider some objects for you when the time comes!"

"That's embarrassing!"

"What's so embarrassing about this, in the eyes of people who don't know how to embroider, embroidering a flower may take a long time, but for me, it's just a day's work, I'll send you a Guanyin when the time comes, what do you think?" After Ren Xiangqi finished speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled first.

Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Huaer didn't understand it first, but when they figured it out, they also laughed.

Xun Muyang is now twenty-six, and when he gets married, he will be twenty-seven, even if Zhu Xiao gives birth early, he will have to be twenty-eight to be a father.

The prince's eldest children are all in their teens, but Xun Muyang doesn't even have any children.

It's pitiful to think about!
