The night shrouded the brightly lit Danfeng City of the Great Wei Kingdom, the Xu Mansion in the White Tiger Fang was as usual, the voice of Steward Liang sounded from time to time in the front yard, and in the inner courtyard of the atrium, Xu Changting's roar and Xu Gentle and smug laughter sounded from time to time.

The voices of Chu Ying and her eldest daughter Xu Changhong would scold the smug Xu Wenrou from time to time, but after all, Xu Changting endured everything.

This time, it was not Aunt Liang who came to invite Xu Changting, but the maid in front of the second sister Xu Wenrou, Liang Caier, the daughter of Steward Liang, came to invite Xu Changting to the study.

Looking back at Xu Wenrou and Liang Cai'er telling how to tailor tomorrow, Xu Changting walked up to the eldest sister, hugged one arm and said, "Don't worry, eldest sister, I'll find you a more considerate and clever maid another day, and I promise to satisfy you, just like Aunt Liang." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait." Xu Changhong dotingly looked at Xu Changting who was holding her arm and smiled.

Originally, Liang Caier was Xu Changhong's maid, but she was later snatched away by Xu Wenrou, so all along, Xu Changhong and Xu Wenrou almost shared a maid.

"Little white-eyed wolf, then when will you find one for your second sister?" Xu Wenrou stopped talking to Liang Cai'er, and said with a thick sourness in her tone.

"You have Sister Cai'er, what else do you want?" Xu Changting said confidently.

"Then I don't care, as long as you find it for your eldest sister, you must also find one for me, even if I keep it for nothing." Xu Wenrou was unreasonable.

"Don't think about it." After Xu Changting finished speaking, he immediately let go of Xu Changhong's arm and ran out.

Chu Ying's voice immediately came from behind him: What are you chasing him for, his body can withstand your bullying like this.

"Okay, okay, you know that you are biased towards your son, and Xu Changhong and I don't seem to be biological." Xu Wenrou complained, and then pushed the piece of fabric he just bought today to Chu Ying, and said, "Mother, I think the clothes made of this color, you must look good in it, and my father will definitely like it." ”

"It's a lot of things, what color clothes my mother wants to wear, it's not your turn to judge. By the way, Cai'er, bring those pieces of cloth to your mother tomorrow, and make some new clothes for the rest of the family. Chu Ying said to Liang Cai'er, who was serving tea and pouring water on the side.

If Xu Zhongli and Chu Ying treated Liang Xingwen as their own son in the past, then Liang Caier, who is a maid, is actually more like the third daughter of their couple.

In the study on the other side, Xu Changting sat directly behind the desk where Xu Zhongli usually sits, and Xu Changting also flipped through some documents on the table without any scruples.

Xu Zhongli didn't stop it, but just reminded Xu Changting not to mess up those documents, or tear them up.

"I heard that you had a conflict with Na Lu Xidao in the Sect Division today, are you okay?" Xu Zhongli sat down on a chair next to him and asked his son, who was sitting in his place.

"I'm fine, Huo Nuer is very powerful, ordinary people can't beat him at all, his strength is infinite." Xu Changting also did not hide what happened today, and said truthfully like Xu Zhongli.

Xu Zhongli listened to Xu Changting's more detailed explanation, and when he said that he broke his fingers, Xu Zhongli felt as if his heart had been pinched hard.

"Can you endure your second sister until now...... It's not easy. Xu Zhongli sighed.

"You and your mother have always been reluctant to beat us, why can he Lu Xidao beat my second sister and still be free." One of Xu Changting's hands held the brush in his hand quite hard.

Xu Zhongli took a deep breath, and did not blame Xu Changting for being ruthless, but thought for a while and said, "If you want to be angry for your second sister, I won't stop you." But not the central ...... Dad still wants to tell you that no matter what you do in the future, you must think clearly, weigh the pros and cons, and don't be arrogant. If you take advantage, no matter what it is, Dad will help you, but if it is ....... ”

"Dad, don't worry, I know what to do and what not to do." Xu Changting was too lazy to listen to his father's preaching.

"Then tell me, what are you going to do with those half-sized children and girls in Banlong Village? You got the mallet to the house to raise horses for you, but there are still a dozen or twenty half-sized children and girls looking at each other, you can't take them all back to the house, and then eat your poor father, right? Xu Zhongli asked with a smile.

Xu Changting held his chin, and the light of the oil lamp made Xu Zhongli's cheek lines on the other side quite soft, and muttered: "Dad, if I tell you that I thought about it all night last night and have figured out what I should do in the future, but if I don't tell you, will you still believe me?" ”

"So, you already know how to place them?" Xu Zhongli was a little surprised, the son next to the oil lamp seemed to look really different, and he didn't know if it was because of what happened in the Jiaofang Division today?

"Dad, I'll ask you something again." Xu Changting first rummaged for something on the tabletop, Xu Zhongli looked at the original neat desktop, and in the blink of an eye, he was turned into a mess by his son, and wanted to remind him, but as soon as he raised his hand, he swallowed the words back into his stomach.

Then he looked at Xu Changting with a document in his hand, and looked at it, it was some of his suggestions and additions to the examination method and the system in the past few days.

"What do you want to ask?" Xu Zhongli couldn't guess what Xu Changting meant by dangling the document.

"Dad, I want to ask you, that is...... It's your emperor's ....... Xu Changting said subconsciously.

"What are you emperors, the whole world ......." Xu Zhongli corrected his son.

"Okay, okay, the Emperor of Great Wei is always okay, right?" Xu Changting looked at his father's gentle face, and continued to ask: "Dad, why does the emperor have to let you be the son of the country to oversee the sacrificial wine, does it have anything to do with this?" ”

"Hmm." Xu Zhongli nodded.

"But...... It's something that offends people, right? There are no cold people in the upper grade, and there are no scholars in the lower grade. As soon as this test method comes out, wouldn't it be to let my father offend the gate valve family? Xu Changting asked.

"And what do you mean?" Although Xu Zhongli asked Xu Changting with a smile, he was still a little shocked in his heart.

This made him have to look at Xu Changting seriously, and his heart was full of relief and a sense of accomplishment, and at the same time, he also realized that the little guy who was stupid and stupid when he was a child, always snorting and smiling, may no longer be the little boy who needs to be carefully cared for by the family.

"Can you quit the country's priest wine?" Xu Changting asked with a smirk.

"What do you think?" Xu Zhongli asked with a smile.

"Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace...... Difficult. Xu Changting said: "But in this case, I'm really worried that my father will be targeted by those gate valve families." After all, whether you look at it backwards or from the side, it looks like it's specifically aimed at them. ”

Xu Zhongli didn't speak, just looked at Xu Changting quietly, then got up and walked to Xu Changting, patted Xu Changting on the shoulder, and said with some seriousness: "Dad has his own plans for these things, you are temporary...... It is enough to help my father deal with the farmer's affairs first. ”

Xu Changting didn't dwell on this matter anymore, looked up at his father who was getting wrinkled, just like when he was a child, he kept smirking with snot bubbles, said I know, and got up and left Xu Zhongli's study.

Xu Zhongli just sat down, looked at Xu Changting who walked to the door, and suddenly said: "By the way, Weiyang, let Steward Liang send someone to send the title deed to Banlong Village tomorrow, as for the half-grown girl over there, since you already have arrangements, you might as well get to the bottom of Steward Liang." ”

"Well, I got it, Dad." Xu Changting turned his head and said.

Watching Xu Changting leave and close the door of the study, Xu Zhongli's expression suddenly became serious, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the document about the examination method and the Yulu system.

Of course, he knew what kind of benefits the examination method would bring to the imperial court, but he also clearly knew that the gate valve family resolutely resisted this matter.

Therefore, if you are not careful, your reputation may be light, and if it is serious, I am afraid that even your wife and children will not escape the doom.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhongli subconsciously picked up the brush, and then pondered for a while, and was about to write a letter, only to remember the rice paper that Xu Changting bought for him today, and his eyes instantly looked at the bookcase on the side, only to see the snow-white rice paper neatly placed one by one, and couldn't help but show a knowing smile: No matter what, ensuring the safety of Weiyang at the moment is the most important thing.

At this time, on the side of Danfeng Chengnan City, Li Chengxin, who had just closed the shop, was sitting at his desk thinking about how to report today's incident to Miss Miss.

Wu Jiangnan knocked on the door with a cup of hot tea and walked in, without the slightest so-called maid or buddy consciousness, threw the teacup on the table, snorted before sitting down next to him.

"What's wrong?" Li Chengxin simply put down the brush in his hand and asked with a smile.

"The ingredients that that guy took today are all good materials...... Wu Jiangnan said sullenly.

"That's it." Li Chengxin smiled and said, "You are also really stingy, can't you see it?" Now even if all the business of the Northern Wei Kingdom is handed over to him, the young lady is probably willing. It's all like this, and you only care about ....... ”

When Wu Jiangnan heard Li Chengxin say this, a smile instantly appeared on his face, and he made a grimace at Li Chengxin, and said, "When you say this, I will balance it." By the way, the lies you told today can't stand up to scrutiny, I see how you tell Miss. ”

"No wonder Xu Gongzi doesn't like you, and he even knows how to gloat." Li Chengxin said to Wu Jiangnan with a smile, then frowned slightly, glanced at the paper on the table, sighed and said, "Jiangnan, do you think my excuse is really lame?" Will Xu Gongzi find out? ”

"He's so stupid, how could he find out? But I'm worried, how do you tell Miss, Miss won't blame you. Wu Jiangnan shook his head and gloated again.

"Then you say...... If you ...... it. Li Chengxin said.

"No, you must not be allowed to hide Miss, you must tell the truth, otherwise Miss will be very angry." Wu Jiangnan Zhengse Road.

Li Cheng sighed helplessly, and then said, "Alas...... If only Xie Jingyao were here, he might be able to help me come up with an idea. By the way, Xu Gongzi didn't even ask him today, he wouldn't know ....... ”

"It's the young lady who has something to do with him, not to mention that Xu Gongzi doesn't know. In this matter, the young lady was angry with Xu Gongzi. That's right....... Wu Jiangnan was startled.

"What's the matter?" Li Chengxin was taken aback.

Wu Jiangnan ignored it, tilted his head and counted with his fingers, and then said, "Count the days, Xie Jingyao should be back soon." ”

Li Cheng glanced at her helplessly, then focused on the paper in front of him again, and muttered: "I didn't expect Xu Gongzi to come today, he casually asked about business, and I just casually made up an excuse, in fact, I regretted it after I finished speaking." ”

"Miss will also exchange letters with him on weekdays, and you can't hide it. But well...... Ever since this guy met Miss, every time he gave him an idea that was very useful, and Miss liked it every time. But this time you made up an excuse casually, I just don't know if the young lady will feel inexplicable after seeing it. So, you must tell the young lady exactly as it is, so as not to make any mistakes. "This Wu Jiangnan seems to be loyal to her young lady, but to Xu Gongzi...... It seems to be a bit of a point.

"Yes, our business can be so big in the Northern Wei Dynasty, thanks to Xu Gongzi's advice." Li Cheng nodded in agreement, and then thought for a while: "Since Xu Gongzi gave such an idea for pre-sale today, then we might as well try it tomorrow, and we don't have to wait for Miss's approval, in this way, we may be able to cover up the matter of my words." ”

"I hope so, I just don't know...... Is there really a result between him and the young lady? Wu Jiangnan said worriedly.

And Li Chengxin opened his mouth, and finally sighed and began to write letters at the desk.
