Bingxin and Yunshang didn't expect them to be left behind, and they kowtowed to Qiao Erya with gratitude.

Qiao Erya was supported by Xiao Jinyou and couldn't dodge: "You two are also frightened, go back and drink some hot water." ”

The palace sent a carriage, and Joerya finally got on the bumpy return journey.

She leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes to rest: "This road is too steep, go back and find the cement formula, if you want to get rich, there is a certain truth in the saying that you need to build the road first." ”

She was afraid that if she sat a few more times, her PP would not be able to stand it.

When I was a child, when the road was not repaired in my hometown, I rode a bicycle on the yellow mud road, and the soft car mat was bumpy.

In ancient times, you could only take a carriage when you went out, so you have to be kind to yourself.

Xiao Jinyou replied with his mouth, but his mind was elsewhere. She threw herself into his arms just now, was it instinct or fear? He struggled all the way and didn't figure it out.

-----------------

There was a man at the gate of the palace who was looking forward to it.

Zhong Heming smiled and said: "I said why did you kid suddenly go out, it turned out to be Jinwu Zangjiao!" ”

He was bored and chatted with the little eunuch for a few words, only to know that his nephew's house had accepted people.

Xiao Jinyou sighed helplessly: "Uncle, don't talk nonsense, Miss Qiao is from a white family." ”

Zhong Heming was skeptical, if she was really an innocent woman, how could she live in a room with a lonely man and a widow all day without three books and six appointments.

Joerya heard the voices of outsiders and hesitated to get out of the car.

It was Xiao Jinyou who asked the maid to help her down.

Seeing the woman getting out of the carriage, Zhong Heming's eyes lit up, and he recognized that this was the woman he had glimpsed before.

Seeing the face this time, I have to say that Rao is well-informed, and he was also amazed by the person in front of him.

He changed his attitude: "I said how dazzled me to see the snow, it turns out that I was not mistaken!" ”

"What is this girl's name?"

Just now he heard this woman comment on the Baozhu Pavilion, and her tone was full of disdain, presumably it must be the lady of a wealthy family.

Xiao Jinyou stood in front of his uncle: "This is Miss Qiao, don't stare at others, so as not to scare people." ”

Zhong Heming sighed twice: "This is protected?" It's so stingy, and I don't eat people. "Miss Qiao's temperament, he believes that the other party is not a greedy and vain woman.

blamed Fushou for not saying it clearly, saying that there was a girl in the prince's house, which made him think that his nephew had finally opened his mind and accepted a girl.

Qiao Erya was a little embarrassed: "I'll go in first, you guys talk." ”

Xiao Jinyou said yes and warned the maid again: "Take care of you girls." ”

Qiao Erya left with her maidservant, and Xiao Jinyou watched her leave completely before retracting her gaze.

The two uncles and nephews who are about the same age walk side by side.

"Tut-tut, look at your obsessive appearance, what is the origin of this Qiao girl?"

No wonder he was so snobbish, back then, he Zhong Heming was also a high-spirited young man in the capital.

It's just that this time is different from the past, King Ruo'an is still the crown prince, and it is up to him to decide which girl he wants to marry. But now that the Zhong family has suffered losses with him, they need to win over more allies, and if necessary, they will sacrifice the position of King An's wife.

Thinking that the Zeng family is just a mere businessman, and they don't take King An in their eyes, I am afraid that this road is extremely difficult. Ruo'an's favorite girl Qiao is an ordinary family, so he can only wronged her temporarily.

Xiao Jinyou understood what his uncle meant, but he disagreed: "Uncle, if I have to rely on a woman to regain that position, what will others think of me?" ”

Zhong Heming laughed: "History has always been written by the victors, and it is not up to you to decide. ”

He put away his smile, "Since the eldest sister entrusted you to me, I should make plans for you in the future." Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your eldest uncle and second uncle, they were relegated to Yumen Pass, which is a border plug where wars have occurred for many years, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life. ”

Xiao Jinyou's eldest and second uncles used to be generals, but they were generals who never led troops to fight.

Everyone else said that His Majesty was grateful for the merits of the first empress for giving birth to the crown prince, specially supported Zhong Jiaerlang, and the Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs could not stop His Majesty's decision-making every day.

In the past, Xiao Jinyou also had this idea.

It's just that Miss Qiao made him react suddenly with a few words, this is not a kind of killing.

It's not that he's stupid, it's just that who in the world will be killed by his own father.

But the facts are in front of him, so he has to believe that he, Xiao Jinyou, has become a stepping stone for others!

Xiao Jinyou interrupted him: "Uncle, if you don't break it, you can't stand it, and if you break it, you will stand up, I think this is an opportunity." He didn't mean to look down on his uncle and second uncle, they were also born in Yulinwei when they were young, but being able to do kung fu does not mean that they can lead soldiers to fight. Speaking by strength in the barracks is a kind of exercise for the uncles.

If it weren't for the emperor's own opinion, his two uncles would not have been praised so highly, and with their strength, it would not be a problem to become the commander of Yulinwei.

Zhong Heming frowned: "That's your own uncle, you really don't care?!" ”

Xiao Jinyou motioned to him to calm down: "Let's go to the study to talk in detail, in short, uncle doesn't have to worry about my life events, I have important things to discuss with my uncle." ”

Zhong Heming wanted to see what he was selling, no matter what, he would not agree to King An ignoring the lives of his two uncles, who were his own brothers.

As soon as he entered the study, Zhong Heming couldn't wait: "Tell me what you mean, I can tell you." Today I met Zeng Wuyan, the eldest grandson of the Zeng family, and now even the little businessman doesn't take you seriously, you have to plan carefully. ”

Xiao Jinyou sat down unhurriedly: "Zeng's family? That's not a long time ago to defect to the Five Princes, so naturally they won't be with me. ”

Zhong Heming was shocked: "What?!" You already knew? ”

If you want to say that the Zeng family is not a fragrant bait, the key is that it is rich!

Even if it is a prince, before he is separated and opens the mansion, how much silver can he have? And if you want to make a career, you have to rely on the silver of white flowers.

The five princes usually don't show the landscape, but they actually won over the Zeng family.

Xiao Jinyou gave him another heavy blow: "Baozhu Pavilion is an industry jointly established by the Zeng family and the grandfather of the Fifth Emperor Brother, if there is no backer behind it, how can it be opened all over the country." ”

Zhong Heming was completely dejected: "According to what you said, my fifth brother is afraid that he will not be able to succeed." ”

Xiao Jinyou only then began to get to the point: "No, the crown prince will only fall to the one who is mediocre and does not fight for it in the end." ”

Zhong Heming was puzzled: "Who?" Is there still this person in the palace? ”

Xiao Jinyou smiled: "Someone that my uncle can't even think of, isn't there even more no one in the Imperial City who pays attention to him." ”

Emperor Ning had a total of two queens, the first queen was his wife, and only gave birth to two princesses, nicknamed Queen Ning Huai; The second is Xiao Jinyou's mother, Concubine Liang, nicknamed Queen Ning Mi.

Empress Ning Huai raised a prince during her lifetime, and His Majesty had not yet ascended the throne at that time, and the eldest prince was born to a concubine in the prince's mansion. After Empress Ning Huai died of illness, the concubine and the eldest prince moved to the royal ancestral hall to worship the Buddha for some reason, and there is no news so far.

In the past, Xiao Jinyou would not have noticed the eldest prince, after all, if he took the initiative to withdraw from the power competition, no one would take him seriously.

According to the life-and-death fighting methods of those princes today, if he didn't notice it, maybe the eldest prince would be the winner. If you want a piece of the pie, don't think about being alone.

Xiao Jinyou picked up and told his uncle about the stakes: "Now that my uncle is at the border, what he has earned back is real military exploits. Even if Your Majesty doesn't want to see me, there are so many courtiers to witness it, no matter how aggrieved he is, he has to reward his uncle for his merits. ”

Since ancient times, kings have been ruthless, and rewards without real power may be withdrawn at any time, and the position of uncle is not a lesson from the past.

"Instead of being a general with no real power and being looked down upon in the imperial city, it is better to go to the border pass in person to get this position back."

"Does the younger uncle think that the eldest uncle and the second uncle are not capable enough?"

"Go and go, and you want to trap me again, but the master won't be fooled by you." Zhong Heming restored his previous hanging.

He crossed Erlang's legs: "Then tell me, what should we do about this situation now?" You can't count on it here, it's a barren place to get out of this Qiongzhou capital city. You don't know, I came all the way and saw those people who were hungry and dressed in tatters, and I thought I had met a homeless person. ”

Xiao Jinyou has not been in Qiongzhou for a long time, he has been in a high fever and coma for a long time on the way to Qiongzhou, so he has never seen how poor Qiongzhou is after leaving the city.

If it hadn't been for Jorya's fever after crossing over, he wouldn't have gotten up and gone to the ground today.

"I need manpower here, can my uncle help me?"

Zhong Heming's face was embarrassed: "What kind of manpower do you want?" I can't necessarily guarantee that it will be brought to you, it will only depend on what you find. ”

Xiao Jinyou could only take out a reassuring pin: "Uncle, let's have dinner together later, I want to introduce Miss Qiao to you." ”

"You kid, I'm talking to you about business, can you put your children's love aside." He didn't even bring Shu Niang with him when he went to the island this time, so he couldn't wait to go back as soon as possible.

"Uncle, I'm talking to you about business. Didn't you come with a miracle doctor, why didn't you realize why I could go to the ground? ”

Zhong Heming was disdainful: "It must be that old guy Fulu who exaggerated, so scared that I really thought that you would die, and you ran to death two horses to find the miracle doctor." ”

Xiao Jinyou said: "Fu Lu is not exaggerating, I was indeed terminally ill at that time. If it weren't for Miss Qiao, I would still be seriously ill right now. ”

Zhong Heming sat up straight: "Is it really that serious?" ”

"I won't joke with my uncle about such things, it was indeed Miss Qiao's medicine that cured me."

Zhong Heming slapped his forehead: "I was narrow-minded before, and I actually wanted Miss Qiao to be wronged." If her medical skills are comparable to that of a miracle doctor, the position of this princess belongs to her. ”

"Uncle, Miss Qiao and I are not what you think at the moment, I am unilaterally in love with her. Miss Qiao is not only good at medicine, but she also has business skills. If you can help find a helper, within two years, I guarantee that you will not even take the Zeng family seriously. ”

Xiao Jinyou's arrogant tone stemmed from his 100% trust in Qiao Erya.

He knew that his uncle wanted to use his marriage to win over allies, and the reason why he didn't resist fiercely was because he knew that if he hadn't been cornered, his uncle wouldn't have thought of this solution. And this method is not necessarily thought of by the uncle, it is very likely that it is the elder of the grandfather's family, and the uncle is just helping to pass the word.

He would not be so despicable as to use a woman's marriage to accomplish his own great things. He knew that his uncle was in a dilemma, so he used a roundabout method to persuade his uncle to give up and draw his uncle into his camp.

The maternal grandfather's family was sent back to their ancestral hometown, and if they wanted to reach out to him, only the little uncle could act as the eyes and ears, and he only needed to win over the little uncle to prevent future troubles.
