Chapter 858 Chapter 858: Form a group to go to jail? 【Ask monthly ticket】
It is impossible to fall in love with a brain.
Xu Jie's mind is full of how to run the family business and revitalize the family. He bet heavily on Wu Xian at the beginning, then met Shen Tang, accepted her promotion, and then bet on Shen Tang again. At that time, there were not many chips, only Xu Quan.
As a qualified merchant, Xu Jie naturally has a treacherous and smooth side in his bones. This can be seen from the fact that he did not invest in Shen Tang as a bargaining chip, but sent a cousin. This cousin is very favored, and when Mrs. Xu is in Shen Tang's camp, he has enough weight as a person. If Shen Tang wins, Xu Jie will make a lot of money from this investment, if she loses, Xu Quan will also lose.
As Xu Quan's cousin, he will be devastated.
But as Xu's parent, this is the choice to maximize the benefits. Among the pros and cons, Xu Jie had discussed with Xu Quan. As the son of the Xu family, Xu Quan didn't have any resistance to this. All he has learned is given by the family, and it is only natural to contribute to the family.
【My lord has a destiny, brother, you can rest assured. 】When Xu Quan communicated with his elder brother, he was full of compliments to his lord, followed by pity, 【If the family is not dragged down, brother does not need to assist Duke Zhaode, if he assists the lord...】
There are two cousins, one is in the army, and the other is helping the lord to take care of the business. Why worry about the family being unhappy?
Maybe after the founding of the country, you can get a good title.
Xu Quan was raised by Xu Jie, and he is also the person who knows each other best in the family. He knew that this cousin forced him to give up his pursuit of ideals, so he resolutely carried the family business on his shoulders! In this troubled world, wealth without power is just a piece of fat in the eyes of others. For the continuation of the family, brother, I don’t know how many grievances I have suffered in these years...
Holding money and food to Tianhai with both hands was made things difficult.
Really hateful and exasperating!
Xu Jie's reply was worded harshly, and he scolded his cousin severely in the letter at home, telling him not to have such thoughts, don't say it out and write it on paper, and don't even have an idea: [...you just need to stay in the army, Others will take care of the Brotherhood. 】
He doesn't want to climb high, and he can't climb high.
On the contrary, once Shen Tang wins, Xu Jie will use all the strength of his family to support Xu Quan alone, and to praise his cousin. Xu Jie didn't dare to be greedy, and didn't want this cousin to become the commander of an army in the future—after all, the position of commander is basically reserved for the monarch's most trusted confidant, and Xu Quan's birth is not old enough—Xu Jie's respect for him The expectation is to be a pioneer general.
It is enough to protect the family but will not attract the fear of the monarch.
simply put-
He has two plans, making two paths for the family.
Which way to use, which way the family goes, and see who can win!
Apart from other factors, Xu Jie is very optimistic about Shen Tang's development.
It's just that he didn't expect the other party to develop so rapidly.
In these years, Tianhai Wu Xian and him have become more and more divorced, and the betting chips in these years have been lost one after another, but Xu Jie's prestige in the Xu family has not declined but increased! Except for a few clan elders who had conflicts, the rest of the clan admired him as the patriarch!
This is also due to Shen Tang.
Xu Jie showed his kindness to Shen Tang, and in exchange for a private cooperation opportunity, Xu helped her manage the refined salt business in the Northwest Continent, and made a lot of money by doing so. Also because of Shen Tang's promotion, as Xu Jie secured his position as Sheriff of Heyin, the Xu family's reputation abroad also gained an unprecedented boost. Except for the daily official duties and trivial matters of the family, Xu Jie has basically no worries, and life is very beautiful.
"Parent—Parent—"
Xu Jie was teasing the baby in his wife's arms.
It was a fat baby boy, whose nanny stood behind his wife and kept saying auspicious words. Those who didn't know thought the baby boy was Xu Jie's, and wondered how the wife would accept the child. You must know that there is only a wife in the backyard of their sheriff, and the last time the wife was pregnant was several years ago. Everyone in the family guessed the baby boy's life experience.
It's just that Xu Jie, the parent, looks gentle, but in fact he hates servants to talk badly. In recent years, his wife has managed the inner courtyard in the same way as the parents. Once caught, they will be fined by slapping the mouth, or sold out of the house, and the servants dare not go beyond the threshold.
While the "family of three" was talking and laughing, the closest attendant to the parents ran over anxiously.
Madam glanced at the attendant, and was about to get up with the child.
"It's rare for Xiu Mu to accompany you today, why are you leaving so early?" He raised his hand and pressed his wife's arm, and the latter sat back on the mat along with his strength, and then rushed to the attendant, "Why are you so flustered?"
The relationship between Xu Jie and his wife was not very good in the early years.
After all, there is less gathering and more separation, and lack of communication opportunities, coupled with the deliberate instigation of the outside world, the cold war has lasted for a long time. Ever since Xu Jie took office as Sheriff of Heyin, the couple had more chances to meet each other, and they gradually let go of their suspicions. In the past two years, the relationship has become more and more harmonious.
The attendant handed out a bamboo tube with Xu's seal in his arms: "Parents, this is the news that just came back from the front."
Xu's business has its own news outlets.
The speed is not fast, but the victory is safe.
Xu Jie opened it to have a look, then slapped the table and stood up. The loud sound frightened the baby boy in his wife's arms and cried loudly. Hun'er is startled, how can I explain to General Zhao?"
This baby boy was entrusted to her by Xu Jie himself.
At first, I thought it was my husband who didn't control me and built an outside room, and his face turned dark. After knowing the baby boy's life experience, he couldn't help feeling sorry for him. I don't know if it's fate, but the child doesn't like the wet nurses very much, and always cries at night, and has to be hugged and coaxed by her to force him to fall asleep. She had no choice but to take care of the child until the full moon, and he gradually accepted it after getting acquainted with the wet nurse.
Madam can finally sleep soundly.
After getting along for a while, she also treats the child as her own.
Xu Jie didn't feel displeased at being scolded at all, but grabbed the baby boy's little hand, and lowered his voice: "Madam, Shen Jun and Wu Gong have won, Huang Lie is defeated, the overall situation is settled—"
The voice is full of suppressed excitement.
Madam doesn't care much about the war situation outside. He Yin's comfortable environment makes her have the illusion that the troubled times are far away from her, but occasionally she knows from a few words from her husband and house guests that the war outside is fierce. After hearing that it was Shen Tang and Wu Xian who won in the end, even if she didn't understand the situation, she knew the importance of this matter to the Xu family. Be vulgar, win crazy!
"This is a great joy!"
After Madam finished speaking, she found that her husband's expression was not right.
asked in a low voice: "Is there any bad news?"
Xie shook his head: "There's no bad news, it's just...for my husband, I'm worried about the future of the Xu family, I'm afraid it won't go well..."
The old grandson of the clan was beaten to death, and the Xu family's granary was inexplicably caught fire. The two incidents caused the relationship between the Xu family and Tianhai to break only a layer of window paper. The steelyard in Xu Jie's heart was completely biased towards Shen Tang at that time, and this was troublesome...
Xu Jie secretly transferred the Xu family business to He Yin.
And the terrain of He Yin...
He was worried that Wu Xian and Shen Tang would carve up the territory, and Shangnan and Yiru would all go away, and He Yin would become a turtle in the urn. Xu Jie can no longer give birth to two minds, so he can only help Wu Xian in peace! Otherwise, if Wu Xian gets angry, he can easily take He Yin away. As Wu Xian's ally, Shen Jun couldn't take the initiative to expose the cooperation with Xu, so naturally he was not qualified to intervene in Wu Xian's internal affairs.
At that time, they can only be slaughtered by others.
Want to appease Wu Xian's anger?
Bleeding is not enough!
Mrs. was puzzled and said: "Why is it difficult to leave? You are working under Mr. Wu's account, and Wen Shi is with Mr. Shen..."
Now I can only hope that Shen Jun will be more calculating.
Shangnan and Yiru, as long as one of them is not in the hands of Wu Xian, the situation can be reversed in an instant, but how easy is it?
Xu Jie worried about this for several days.
Until the news from Sibao County shocked him.
"Hahahaha, God wants to rejuvenate my Xu family!"
The clansmen doing business in Sibao County accidentally discovered the traces of Gu Ren's old father-in-law. Although it was only a quick glance, there was an important information behind it—Gu Ren's important relatives were transferred! They definitely didn't do it themselves, and they most likely colluded with Sibao County to seek asylum. in this case-
"Duke Wu can get Yiru at most, and He Yin has revived it!"
God knows what kind of battle between heaven and man he has been engaged in these days. He even wants to abandon some ancestral property and half of his net worth, and secretly transfer important clansmen. Until the last moment, Xu Jie didn't want to give up He Yin, he promised Shen Jun to guard here!
Mrs. hugged the baby boy and hummed softly, with a smile on her face.
Good news one after another. Not long after, news came that Qin Li's faction had successfully jumped ship. Let Xu Jie look at the boy with fiery eyes, as if looking at a statuette!
Mrs. hugged the child and avoided sideways.
Displeased: "Don't bring that set of philistines home."
"Madam, do you know what is behind this child?"
Mrs. sighed: "This child has no parents since he was born. He is just an orphan. What can he have behind him?"
As a woman, she is very sympathetic to the mother of the baby boy. If she was in that situation, she might not have the courage of the other party.
Xu Jie shook his head: "Zhao Dayi and Qin Gongsu are standing behind this child. We helped their family get out of trouble and took him in. This kindness will ensure that the Xu family will be safe, and your child and I will have a smooth career in the future. I want Qin Gongsu to lead the way from Wenyou, I want to be taken care of by Zhao Dayi. Even their own children may not be able to enjoy such treatment..."
Mrs. was surprised: "It's like this?"
"Why did you lie to you?" Xu Jie smiled, but soon became serious again, "However, the more you do this, the more you need to be cautious. Our family's foundation is not deep, and being too ostentatious will arouse suspicion. From outsiders' perspective, Xu My family has been in close contact with Shen Jun under the command of Wu Gong. Now that I am loyal to Shen Jun, how can I no longer have the head and tail with other forces? No matter how magnanimous Shen Jun is, he can't bear it."
Madam was also nervous when she heard this: "Then what should I do?"
Xu Jie had a cold look in his eyes: "You can only manage the clan well, be cautious in your words and deeds, if someone hinders the prosperity of the Xu clan, then you can't blame me, the patriarch, for being heartless..."
No one can destroy!
Madam nodded: "I will also take care of it."
As she spoke, an idea came to her mind.
"I heard that Shen Jun is young and talented, so far he is single?"
Marriage has always been the most stable means of relationship. In the past few years, the status of the Xu family has risen, and the reputation has also improved. The quality of the people who came to say goodbye has been greatly improved. She also took a closer look at her daughter, and wanted to find a noble family...
Now that I think about it—
Is there anyone more suitable than Shen Jun?
Even if your own family fails, the rich water will not flow into the field of outsiders. Whether it is the Xu family or her natal family, there are many suitable candidates, but they may not be suitable for their family, and Shen Jun can only be a concubine if he is willing to accept it. Of course, it would be great if he could fight for the position of wife.
Xu Jie: "...Don't think too much about it."
Madam did not give up: "It would be nice to get a recommendation..."
In the future, the mistress will remember Mrs. Xu well.
Xie calculated Shen Tang's age with his fingers.
After hesitating for a long time, he choked out a sentence—
"...You can look for teenagers of the right age."
Mrs. : "...???"
Although the husband and wife knew that wealth and prosperity were coming, they kept a low profile. They pushed all the banquets they could, and they didn't leave the door, so they could raise their babies with peace of mind. As everyone knows, Tianhai is also in chaos at this moment, and the gate of Zhao Feng's mansion is even more boiling, and Mrs. Zhao Feng sits at the gate with a knife.
Paper can't contain fire after all.
Following the news of Qin Liyi's job-hopping, everyone finally noticed the many relatives who had been stolen. Only a few families remained in Tianhai territory, and the others disappeared at some point. Those who stayed included Zhao Feng's family.
The three sons lined up behind their mother.
Mrs. Zhao Feng was sitting on a ponytail, with her hands folded on the handle of the knife, and she sneered at Mrs. Wu Xian, who came to ask for blame: "The mistress is well informed at the moment, but when the funeral is held at the house, the mistress did not come out." Uphold justice. Since my husband and Princess Wu's fate is over, the mistress can't control where the young and old in the Buqu family are going? After all, they are on their legs!"
The white banner on the mansion has not been removed yet.
"You guys have long wanted to rebel!"
If it weren't for this, how could they have planned to send people away early?
"This crime can't be framed!" Mrs. Zhao Feng sneered again and again, and raised her eyebrows, "We don't know about the man outside. But we know one thing, if we get along, we get along, if we don't get along, we break up. The front line didn't say righteousness and betrayal, if you want to come to him It is Mr. Wu’s permission to find another way out. The mistress brought people here to question the crime, is it because she wants to arrest our family and put them all in prison?”
Mrs. Wu Xian did not dare to do so even if she had this plan, because she brought her family guards instead of Wu Xian's cronies.
On the contrary, Mrs. Zhao Feng is confident.
She raised her hand, and the eldest son bent down to help her up.
Then, she took off her coat in full view of everyone, revealing her white clothes, and the three sons also took off their coats until only one piece remained: "It doesn't matter if you want to be arrested and sent to prison, now there are only four of us, mother and son, in the house. The rest of the servants and servants have been cleaned up. The mistress is not afraid of implicating others if she wants to ask a crime, she has prepared dry food and clothes. Mistress, when are we leaving?"
The sons are all carrying packages, sorted from largest to smallest.
This is planning to live in the prison for ten days and a half months.
The voice fell, and the crowd on the other side of the long street was in a commotion.
A group of women and children in white clothes also dragged their families along, bringing the old and the young, and carrying their bags: "There are us!"
