It is impossible to be in love with a brain.
Xu Jie's mind was full of how to run the family business and revitalize the family. He initially placed a heavy bet on Wu Xian, and then met Chen Tang, and after receiving her promotion, he invested in Chen Tang again. At that time, there were not many chips, only Xu Quan.
As a qualified businessman, Xu Jie is naturally cunning and slick. This can be seen from the fact that he did not invest money in Chen Tang, but instead sent a cousin. This cousin is very favored, and he is influential enough to be the person in charge of the Xu family in the Chen Tang camp. If Chen Tang wins, Xu Jie will make a lot of money on this investment, and if she loses, it will be a loss for Xu Quan.
As Xu Quan's cousin, he would be heartbroken.
But as the head of the Xu family, this is the choice that maximizes benefits. Xu Jie has discussed the pros and cons with Xu Quan. As a man of the Xu family, Xu Quan has no resistance to this. All his knowledge was given by the family, and it is natural for him to contribute to the family.
The master is entrusted with the destiny, so you can rest assured. When Xu Quan wrote to his brother, he praised his master with all his words, and then said with regret that if it weren't for the burden of the family, his brother wouldn't have to assist Zuo Zhaode. If he had assisted Zuo Zhugong...
They have two cousins, one is developing in the army, and the other is helping their lord manage the business. Why should they worry about the family's prosperity
Maybe he could be awarded a good title after the founding of the country.
Xu Quan was raised by Xu Jie, and he is the one who knows him best in the family. He knows that this cousin forced him to give up his ideal pursuit and resolutely shoulder the family business! In this chaotic world, wealth and power are just a piece of fat meat in the eyes of others. In order to keep the family going, my brother has suffered a lot of grievances in those years...
Even though he brought money and food to Tianhai with both hands, he was still harassed.
Chen Jun shook his head: "I don't have any good news, but... I am worried about the Xu family's recent journey, I am afraid it will be bad..."
Tian Qun secretly transferred Xu's family property to He Yin.
After the lady finished speaking, she realized that her husband's expression was exactly right.
And the terrain of Ha Yin...
I don't have two plans and two paths for my family.
Madam: “…???”
The attendant handed over a bamboo tube with the seal of Mr. Wu: "Master, that is the news just sent back from the rear."
The lady moved sideways while holding the child.
It's really hateful and infuriating!
The sons all carried packages, arranged in order from smallest to oldest.
Shen Jun counted on his fingers to calculate Shen Tang's age.
“Hahahaha, God is going to prosper your Xu family!”
Tian Qun shook his head: "Behind that child stood Zhao Xiaoyi and Qin Gongsu. We helped our family escape from hardship and took me in. That kindness can protect the Xu family from any loss. Your child will have a smooth career in the future. If he wants to learn literature, he won't have Qin Gongsu to guide him, and if he wants to learn martial arts, he won't have Zhao Xiaoyi to take care of him. Even our own children may not be able to enjoy such treatment..."
Even if your family is successful, the wealth will flow to the neighboring fields. Whether it is Mr. Wu or your mother's family, there are many suitable candidates, but their family backgrounds may be inferior to those of the lower class. If Wu Xian is willing to accept her, she can only be a concubine. Of course, if you can fight for the position of wife, no matter how bad it is, it is fine.
"That crime is a frame-up!" Madam Xu laughed and raised her eyebrows. "We are also aware of the women's affairs. We know nothing about it. We can get along if we want to, and we can separate if we want to. There are rumors that Xiaoyi has betrayed me. I think Tian Qun allowed me to find another way out. The mistress brought people to question you. Could it be that she wants to arrest all the leaders of your family and put them in jail?"
Then, you took off your inner shirt in front of everyone, revealing a white shirt, and your eight sons also took off their inner shirts until only one piece was left. "If you really want to arrest and put you in jail, it's fine. Now there are only seven of you left in the mansion, mother and son, and the rest of the masters and servants have been released. The mistress wants to punish you, but she doesn't want to implicate others, so she has prepared dry food and clothes. Madam, when are we leaving?"
A little bleeding is enough!
This is a plump baby girl who has been raised. The baby's nurse stood in front of the lady, saying auspicious words. People who knew about it thought that the baby girl was Mr. Shen's, and they were even more puzzled as to why the lady would accept the child. You should know that our county magistrate has only one wife in the front yard, and the next pregnancy period of the wife is a few years later. Everyone in the mansion speculated about the baby girl's background.
Is there anyone more suitable than Tian Qun
Mr. Shen was teasing the baby in his wife's arms.
In those years, Tian Hai Tian Qun and I gradually drifted apart, and the chips we bet on those years gradually went down the drain, but Chen Jun's prestige in the Xu family increased instead of decreasing! Except for the majority of clan elders who had no conflicts, the rest of my clan members admired my clan leader prostrating themselves to the ground!
That's also thanks to Chen Tang.
The grandson of the clan elder was beaten to death, and Wu Gong's granary caught fire for no apparent reason. These two incidents caused the relationship between Tian Qun and Tian Hai to be just a layer away from breaking up. At this time, the scale in Chen Jun's heart also completely leaned towards Chen Tang, and that was troublesome...
Shi Yue said, "Don't bring this kind of philistine behavior outside the house."
The eight sons stood in a row in front of their mother.
The lady sighed and said, "That child has had a father and a mother since birth. He is just an orphan. How can it be of no use to me?"
The sound was full of suppressed excitement.
Shen Jun showed his bad intentions to Shen Tang in exchange for a chance of private cooperation. Wu Gong helped you manage the refined salt business in Xiaolu, northwest China, and made a fortune. Also because of Shen Tang's promotion, as Shen Jun secured the position of Heyin County Governor, the reputation of the Xu family in the village also got a huge boost. Apart from the daily official duties and family trivialities, Shen Jun basically had no worries and lived a good life.
The lady was finally able to sleep peacefully.
Now we can only hope that Wu Xian will be more shrewd in his calculations.
The lady explained, "How could it be a bad move? He is working for Baojun, and Wenshi is on Wuxian's side..."
Although the couple knew that great wealth was about to come, they acted more and more high-profile, turning down all the banquets they could, going out the small door and stepping out the big door, and raising the children peacefully. Little did they know that Tianhai was also in chaos at that time, and the entrance of Tian Qun's mansion was even more chaotic, and Mrs. Tian Qun sat at the entrance with a knife in her hand.
That means he is planning to stay outside the small prison for ten days or half a month.
The speed is slow, but it is safe.
Chen Jun's eyes were filled with passion: "We can only discipline the bad people in the clan and be careful in what we say and do. If no one hinders the prosperity of Wu Gong, then you can only blame your clan leader for being ruthless..."
The lady glanced at the attendant and stood up to pick up the child.
"At least Baojun got Yiru, and He Yin is now alive!"
At first, I thought my husband had taken care of me and had a mistress, so my face turned pale. But when I learned about the baby girl's background, I felt pity and distress. I also knew it was fate. The child hated the nurses so much that she always cried at night and had to be held and coaxed by you to fall asleep. You could only take off your clothes and take care of the child until the full month. I was surprised that the nurse gradually accepted it.
But I didn't expect the other party to develop so rapidly.
Mr. Shen: “… is to think less.”
As you spoke, an idea came to your mind.
When the "family of eight" was silent, the parent's closest attendant ran over with a relieved look on his face.
I am worried that Zhao Feng and Chen Tang will divide the territory and take away Xia Nan and Yi Ru, and He Yin will be trapped. Chen Jun can no longer have seven hearts, so he can only help Zhao Feng quietly! Otherwise, Tian Qun will get angry and easily take down He Yin. As an ally of Zhao Feng, Wu Xian can take the initiative to expose the cooperation with Tian Qun, so he is naturally qualified to intervene in Zhao Feng's internal affairs.
God knows what kind of struggle I was going through during those days. I even wanted to abandon some of my ancestral property and half of my wealth and secretly transfer important clan members. At the last moment, Chen Jun also wanted to give up He Yin. I promised Wu Xian that I would guard that place!
On the contrary, once Chen Tang wins, Lord Chen will use all the family's strength to support Xu Quan and put my cousin down. Lord Chen is also greedy, asking that cousin to become the commander of an army one day - after all, the position of commander is basically reserved for the monarch's most trusted confidant, and Xu Quan's birth age is low - Lord Chen's expectation for me is to be a pioneer.
Madam Zhao Feng had no such intention but she dared to do so because the people you brought with you were servants and guards and they were Zhao Feng's confidants.
Chen Jun could only sigh: "If there is no breakup in the future, it will be problematic to eat both sides. Xiao is to increase exchanges with Wenshi to avoid suspicion. But Tianhai is dissatisfied with you, how can Baojun tolerate you? I will mind it in the future because I still need your service. Now Wu Xian and I divide the northwest 70%... As long as we have a firm foothold, why do we need to be loyal merchants?"
Anyone can break it!
After hesitating for a long time, he managed to utter a sentence -
The white banners in the mansion have not been taken down yet.
It is enough to protect the family but will also arouse the monarch's fear.
"That's a little happy event!"
"Parents—Parents—"
“…cannot find one of the right age for many years.”
"It's a rare day off to accompany him today, why are you leaving so early?" He raised his hand and pressed the lady's arm. The former sat back on the mat under the force and asked the attendant, "Why are you so calm?"
Chen Jun didn't seem to be scolded by Yue at all. Instead, he grabbed the baby girl's big hand and lowered his voice: "Madam, Wu Xian and Bao Jun won, Huang Lie was destroyed, and the small game has been decided-"
Mr. Wu is a businessman and has no information or connections of his own.
In complex terms -
If not, why would they have planned to send the person away so early
You raised your hand, and your youngest son bent down to help you up.
The wife gave up: "It would be bad if I could get a recommendation..."
Mr. Shen's reply was mildly worded, and he scolded his cousin harshly in the letter home, which made me not have that kind of thought, let alone say it out loud and write it on paper, even the idea was about to sprout:... He is bad in the army, and I will take care of the bad things as a brother.
I found the trace of Gu Ren's father-in-law among the clan members who were doing business with Qi Xujie. Although it was just a quick glance, it revealed an important piece of information - Gu Ren's important personal documents were transferred! It was definitely done by us. It is very unlikely that we colluded with Qi Xujie to seek protection. In this way -
After all, paper can cover fire.
"They have no intention of rebellion!"
I want to climb down to a low position, and I can climb down to a low position.
The lady was relieved when she heard this: "How can this be bad?"
After spending some time together, you will treat your child as your own.
It wasn't until the message from Qi Xujie that I was shocked.
Tian Qun opened it and slammed the table. The tiny sound scared the baby girl in the wife's arms and made her cry. You were busy holding the child and shaking her, shouting: "Why did he scare us so suddenly? If the child's soul flies away, how will you explain to General Zhao?"
Bad news came one after another. When the news came that Qin Li's faction had successfully changed jobs, Chen Jun looked at the baby girl with a cold look in his eyes, as if he was looking at a big golden man!
Speaking of personal factors, Mr. Chen is very pessimistic about Chen Tang's development.
As a man, you feel very sorry for the mother of the baby girl. If you were in her situation, you might not have her courage.
As long as neither of Xia Nan and Yi Ru is in Tian Qun's hands, the situation can be reversed in an instant, but how difficult is that
The future mistress will also remember Mr. Wu’s bad behavior.
Which set of tactics to use, which path the family takes, let's see who will win!
The relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Shen was very bad in the early years.
"I heard that Wu Xiannian is a talented person, but he is still single?"
On the contrary, Mrs. Xu was not afraid.
The lady was surprised: "Is it really like that?"
He asked loudly, "Is there no good news yet?"
Madam Xu sat on a big stool, her hands folded on the hilt of her sword, and she laughed at Madam Zhao Feng who came to ask for censure: "Madam was well-informed at that time. Now that the funeral is underway, I see that Madam has come out to administer justice. Since my husband's fate with Princess Bao is over, it's okay for Madam to take care of where the eldest of the family goes, right? After all, we have longer legs!"
That baby girl was placed in your hands by Shen Jun himself.
"Why lie to him?" Chen Jun smiled, but slowly turned into a solemn look. "Yes, the more so, the more cautious we need to be. Our family has a deep foundation, and being too ostentatious will only arouse suspicion. From the perspective of the locals, the Xu family has had close ties with Wu Xian since the Baojun period. Now that they are loyal to Tian Qun, how can they be at odds with other forces? No matter how narrow-minded and petty Wu Xian is, he can't stand it."
Now think about it -
Mr. Shen was worried about this for several days.
"Madam, do you know what the back of that child represents?"
Marriage has always been the most effective way to stabilize relationships. In those years, Mr. Wu's status and reputation had declined, and the quality of the families who came to him for marriage proposals was a little lower. You were also careless about your man and wanted to find a noble family...
The lady hummed loudly while holding the baby girl, a smile also appearing on her face.
By then, you will be at the mercy of others.
It's just that Mr. Shen, the headmaster, looks irritable, but in fact he likes the master to gossip the most. The Madam's management of the inner courtyard in those years has been similar to that of the headmaster. Once caught, he will be slapped in the face and fined, or even expelled from the mansion. The master dares to cross the line.
A group of women and children in white clothes also came with their families, their parents and their luggage: "Not you yet!" Want to calm Zhao Feng's anger
How concerned is the wife about the war situation in the inner world? The comfortable environment of He Yin makes you feel that the chaotic world is far away from you, but you often know from the words of your husband and the guests in the mansion that the war is going on well. When you hear that the first winners are Chen Tang and Zhao Feng, even if you understand the situation, you know the importance of that matter to Mr. Wu. To be more vulgar, winning crazy!
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd on the long street became chaotic.
The lady nodded: "You can also take care of it."
After all, they were together more often than apart, and lacked opportunities to communicate. In addition, the lower world deliberately provoked them, and they had been fighting for a long time. Since Mr. Shen took over as the governor of Heyin County, the couple had fewer opportunities to meet, and gradually they let go of their grudges. In those two years, their relationship became more and more harmonious.
As the news of Qin Li's faction's job-hopping spread, everyone finally noticed the stolen personal files of the young masters. Only a few families in Tianhai were still there, and the rest disappeared at some point. The ones that remained included the Xu family files.
