One by one, the boxes were on the boat, and there were two girls with them, one of whom followed Zheng Jingren, and the other was alone.

Anyway, he is the head of the Zheng family, so Li Xiuzhu definitely wants to meet him.

And there is another person he has made an appointment with today.

That's right, it's another girl, this girl is the only daughter of the Su family, and Li Xiuzhu asked Li Canghai to invite her.

Of course, Li Canghai doesn't have to go in person, just the maid can make a trip.

Su Ling'er saw Li Xiuzhu salute, said hello and went in, looking as if she had come to see Li Canghai.

The two are best friends, but they don't seem abrupt.

Li Xiuzhu looked at the head of the Zheng family, and then looked at the good-looking girl beside him and was stunned, this posture can be regarded as second only to Li Canghai.

Of course, he was stunned not because he was shocked by the woman's appearance, but because he guessed what the head of the Zheng family was doing with the woman on the boat.

"Master Zheng, this is ???"

"Back to the prince, this is my brother's little daughter."

"He has a lot of children, and he can't afford to raise them, so he hopes that the prince will take them in."

…… When I'm a fool, right, the three gate valves, can the clan brother not be able to raise a child? You have to eat a lot of brain fat if you leak a little.

But looking at this girl, she doesn't look like a couple of meats, maybe her life is really not good? Forget it, who made me a kind-hearted person, and I couldn't see a beautiful girl living on the streets.

"Since you have nowhere to go, let's stay."

"Is there anything else that the Zheng family master has to do?"

"No, the prince is having fun."

As he spoke, he said to the girl: "Sleeve, serve the prince well." ”

"Yes, uncle."

After Zheng Jingren left, Li Xiuzhu took Zheng Sleeve to the inner room.

At this time, Li Canghai was talking to Su Ling'er, and when he saw Li Xiuzhu coming in, Li Canghai stood up first.

Su Ling'er saw Li Xiuzhu stand up with him, and while saluting, he said generously: "The prince asked people to pass the word to me, but what's the matter?" ”

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu looked at Su Ling'er and asked, "Miss Su may represent the Su family?" ”

Su Ling'er was silent for a moment, and then nodded.

"Ling'er is the only heir of the main family, it should be able to represent, I don't know what the prince commands, as long as it is not too difficult, I will answer for the Su family."

Su Linger's first thought was that Li Xiuzhu wanted the other two Oiran of the Su family.

It is rumored that Li Xiuzhu, the prince, is greedy and lustful, and he is extravagant.

However, Li Xiuzhu's next words made her suddenly stagnant, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

"There will be two imperial merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there can only be two, so is the Su family willing to replace the Sun family as the imperial merchants."

The amount of information implied in this sentence is too large, and it may be difficult for others to understand it for a while, but whether it is Sun Youling, Zheng Sleeve, or Su Ling'er, they all understand.

Suddenly, Sun Youling's face turned pale, and he knelt in front of Li Xiuzhu in the next second.

"Ask the prince to spare the grandson's family once, Youling is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the prince."

Li Xiuzhu didn't reply, but looked at Su Ling'er with calm eyes.

After Su Ling'er was silent for a few breaths, she suddenly asked, "Can I know why the prince wants to destroy the Sun family?" ”

"Because of that new Oiran?"

She also heard what Li Canghai said, so she had a little bit of speculation in this regard.

Li Xiuzhu looked at Li Canghai when he heard this, and Li Canghai immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Xiuzhu.

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu did not answer Su Ling'er's words, but spoke: "Wu Anjun Bai Zhan was invited by me and my father-in-law. ”

This is almost the same as the answer, anyway, Su Ling'er and the three of them understand.

This is someone else's own person, your Sun family killed someone else's own person, and people want to kill you and give an explanation, it's no longer normal.

Sun Youling's head lowered, and his face was gloomy.

Li Xiuzhu looked at Sun Youling and said: "You are the woman of this king, when the time comes, you can pick the daughter of the Sun family, as long as you pick it, you can be innocent." ”

"This king also allows you to give them a placement fee according to the standard of one hundred taels per person."

Hearing this, Sun Youling's eyes lit up and he raised his head suddenly.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Sun Youling cares most about her mother and two younger sisters, although the two sisters are not the same father and mother as her, but they are the most loved by her.

She didn't expect that she could save them.

As for the others, maybe they could save them themselves.

"Get up."

Li Xiuzhu looked at Su Ling'er again.

"What does Miss Su think?"

Hearing this, Su Linger said, "Does my Su family have a choice?" Or do I have a choice? From the moment the prince spoke, he didn't leave a way out for my Su family. ”

"If I refuse, the Su family is afraid that it will be the next Sun family."

"It's just that I don't understand, what role does the Zheng family play in this?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu said: "The Zheng family has played the role of a smart person. ”

"The Zheng family took the initiative to enter the game, took the initiative to attach to the situation before it first appeared, and even sent the daughter of his own brother, which shows the sincerity."

"I don't know if Miss Su believes it or not, this Miss Zheng's identity is definitely not the daughter of an ordinary Zheng family head brother."

Hearing this, Su Ling'er and the three of them looked at Zheng Sleeve, and Zheng Sleeve said generously: "The people's daughter Zheng Sleeve is the heir of the younger brother of the Zheng family's grandfather, who can be good at poetry at the age of 8, and has been smart and beautiful since childhood. ”

"Privately taught by Mr. Bailu Academy, so far I don't say that I am familiar with the past and the present, but I am also considered to be rich in learning."

"Uncle only has one son under his knees, but he has not yet become a talent. Originally, the uncle cultivated Sleeve Er to let Sleeve Er marry the eldest brother and assist the eldest brother in managing the Zheng family. ”

"But last night, Uncle suddenly asked his sleeves to come to serve the prince."

"Sleeve knows that the Zheng family's backer will be the prince in the future, so Sleeve is here."

"Sleeve is willing to help the prince make suggestions and manage the family business, or he can teach his son to become a talent without asking about the world."

Zheng Sleeve's words made the third daughter feel numb, but she didn't expect the head of the Zheng family to be so willing to send her daughter-in-law, and she was not an ordinary daughter-in-law.

If this Zheng Sleeve is famous, I am afraid that she will soon become a generation of talented women in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Did you see it?" That's why this king said that the head of the Zheng family is a smart person. ”

"This king likes smart people, so he won't make any demands on the Zheng family."

"No matter how far the Zheng family master goes, as long as he doesn't go against me, the Zheng family will definitely be one of the imperial merchants."

At this time, Su Ling'er opened her mouth and asked, "What does the prince want the Su family to do?" ”

When Li Xiuzhu heard this, he said: "It's good to keep the soldiers moving, but he will wait for me to lead the troops to take Suzhou and Hangzhou, hoping that the Su family can open the city gate." ”

Su Ling'er nodded when she heard this, but still asked, "Then lord, what benefits can the Su family get?" ”

"The Su family is mainly engaged in painting boats and gambling houses, so there is no need to expand outward."

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this: "Miss Su's pattern is small. ”

"Think of the canal being opened, painting the boat from south to north, harvesting wealth from all over the world."
