Every sentence Wei Yunju said frankly and openly, which made Wu Zhanxu have to believe that he was indeed thinking about himself and Wu Guo.

It's just that he really doesn't want to give this position to Wu Jinchuan.

Wu Zhanxu waved his hand and only said that he would think about it.

This matter is not in a hurry, Wei Yunju knows it very well in his heart.

When he left the palace, he did not take a carriage, but walked to a shop and ordered a bag of hawthorn cake before returning home.

The people sent by Wu Zhanxu to follow him in the shadows saw him enter the mansion, so they went back to tell the emperor.

At this time in May, the belly is already very large, and the daily activity space is also a small building in the middle of the lake.

And Chu Jiu continued to be busy with Jiu's business every day, and he didn't inquire about the battlefield or the movements of the previous dynasty.

She has to prepare for the starling to come, and Chu Kuo will enter the Wu capital in three days.

Of course, preparing to welcome the envoys of Chu was also one of Wei Yunju's tasks, but he handed over everything behind the scenes to Chu Jiu.

After all, it was her brother, and she was more familiar with it.

"Xiao Jiu, can't you rest for a while?" May saw that Chu Jiu was about to run out again with something in his arms, so he quickly sat up straight and shouted.

"Huh? I'll tell you later, I'll get busy first. Chu Jiu smiled apologetically, and ran away again with the water.

May could only shake her head and say to Pei'er on the side: "I know that I am busy receiving the envoys of the Chu State, but I don't know that I think the king of heaven has descended to earth." ”

Pell covered her lips and chuckled.

During this time, Pei'er found that the people with Chu Jiu got along very well, and the third princess was also a person who loved to tell jokes on weekdays.

Chu Jiu has recently moved back a lot of old wine from Jiushi, and he is waiting for the starling to come and get drunk.

Wei Yunju came back after talking to the emperor, and was running into Chu Jiu carrying a rabbit back.

"What are you doing here? Gluttonous again? Wei Yunju was stunned.

"Wait for the envoy to come and eat." Chu Jiu said with a grin.

Wei Yunju supported his forehead. If you let others know that the Prime Minister's Mansion used this thing to entertain the envoys, you wouldn't laugh off your front teeth.

But he didn't say anything. Just laugh, just laugh, if you lose your teeth, it's someone else's, Xiao Jiu is happy.

When Chu Kuo came, it was already late autumn in Wudu.

For people who live in a place like Chudu that is warm as spring all year round, it is indeed a little cold.

After walking for half a month along the way, Chu Kuo only felt that he was adding clothes every day. Even so, I still want to hold myself tight.

This kind of climate, how can his Xiao Jiu endure it, and the weather is dry, it's really pitiful

When the team arrived in Wudu, Wei Yunju took it to greet him personally.

From a distance, I saw Chu Kuo riding on a horse dressed in red, with a smile on his eyebrows, he seemed to be in a good mood, how charming he was.

The people of Chu are all good-looking, and many people look at Chu Kuo from afar and are all blinded.

Only Chu Jiu pursed his lips, not wanting to see the smirk on his face.

Starlings are most afraid of the cold, and their noses are frozen red, so it's strange that they can laugh.

Feign! Gear it up!

Sure enough, welcoming the team all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion, as soon as Chu Kuo entered the door, he saw that there were no outsiders, and quickly rubbed his arms with his teeth bared.

"Oh, I said, why is it so cold here, how did you endure it?" Chu Kuo touched Chu Jiu's head with his elbow.

Chu Jiu glanced at him, calmly pulled the cloak on his body and said, "I wear thick clothes, I want temperature but not demeanor." ”

Wei Yunju on the side couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at, why aren't you cold when you're not wearing it?" Chu Kuo rolled his eyes dissatisfied.

Wei Yunju smiled, touched his nose, and said indifferently: "I'm used to it." ”

Chu Kuo glanced at him, and consciously protected his little nine treasures behind him.

Since he learned on the road that this Wei Yunju was the one who raised Xiao Jiu, Chu Kuo's whole person was not good.

I always feel that my own meat bumps are targeted by wolves, and this wolf is still the legitimate "family member" of my own baby bumps.

No matter how I think about it, I feel panicked.

Chu Kuo's yard is not far from the small building in the middle of the lake, and Wei Yunju also knows that no matter how far he goes, he can't stop Chu Jiu from getting tired of his brother, so it is better to get closer and walk less.

The earth dragon was burned in the house, it was very warm, and Chu Kuo was finally satisfied.

"Eighth Prince of Chu, I have prepared a sumptuous dinner below, and I will personally invite you to the main hall to taste the food of Wu Kingdom later." Wei Yunju spoke in official language.

"Okay, no outsiders." Chu Jiu saw that there was not even a ghost behind him, pouted, and pulled Chu Kuo to do it.

Wei Yunju frowned and looked at the two people sitting next to each other, feeling a little panicked.

"Starling, are they okay with the father and queen mother?" Chu Jiu held back all the way, and finally could ask.

"It's fine. Most of the state affairs were handed over to the eldest brother. If you weren't afraid," Chu Kuo paused and continued: "Forget it, don't say it, what about you?" Why are you so thin, can't this prime minister's mansion feed you? ”

After speaking, Chu Kuo didn't forget to give Wei Yunju a dissatisfied look.

"The eighth prince laughed, Xiao Jiu is a serious master in this mansion, where does anyone dare not give her a full meal." Wei Yunju couldn't swallow this breath.

"Hmph, who knows if the things given are suitable or not, our little girl is very picky. Starling brings you your favorite snack, hawthorn sugar cake. Chu Kuo touched Chu Jiu's head lovingly.

Chu Jiu lowered his eyes and chuckled, and fell directly into Chu Kuo's arms, hugging his waist, and rubbing his face hard against his chest.

"Starling is the best, I still remember Xiao Jiu's favorite food."

Wei Yunju looked at the two of them who were tired of being crooked, and he couldn't plug in himself, so he could only go out to arrange dinner for the night.

Mainly, he can't stand it anymore.

Chu Jiu is simple-minded, he doesn't want Chu Jiu to have a male and female affection for him, and he doesn't dare to have any male and female feelings with her. But now he realized that in Chu Jiu's eyes, he was no different from his eight elder brothers.

This feeling made Wei Yunju very frustrated, and his heart was inexplicably uncomfortable.

Seeing Wei Yunju go out, Chu Kuo felt a lot more comfortable, and looked down at his sister, but found that she was stunned for a while looking at the door.

"Little Jiubao, do you like him?" Chu Kuo squinted his eyes.

He can grasp some of his sister's thoughts. Such a look is probably not shallow.

"I'm only so old, who do I like?" Chu Jiu replied with a smile, but he didn't look at Chu Kuo's eyes.

Chu Kuo didn't ask, hugged Chu Jiu tightly, and sighed silently in his heart.

The so-called sumptuous dinner was actually according to Chu Jiu's request, adding a roast rabbit to the dishes of Wu State.

And after this meal, Chu Kuo was most satisfied with the wine and roast rabbit.

When he was in Sanwu Village, Chu Jiu gave him these foods, and he has been talking about them until now.

"Eighth prince, enter the court tomorrow, don't drink too much." Wei Yunju saw that he was still drinking, and reminded.

Chu Jiu told him before that Chu Kuo was lazy and not very reliable, so he had to watch it more closely, so as not to make any moths.

Now it seems that Chu Jiu really understands Chu Kuo.

Chu Kuo put down his wine glass and said to Chu Jiu: "Little Jiubao, you go back first, and I will talk to Prime Minister Wei Cheng about something serious." ”
