Back Off, Let Me Come

Chapter 954 954: The family is unfortunate, and the brothers are jealous (Part 1) [Please vote for m

Even though Xun Ding knew something about the Gongxi clan, he would still be stunned by the strange settings of this clan from time to time.

"When you say this, I always feel that we are not in the same world." He took out a piece of candy and threw it into his mouth. The hawthorn from this candy shop was rolled with a thick layer of crystal sugar, which was sour and sweet, and very appetizing. " Brother Shaobai, you also have a taste."

Xun Ding stuffed one into him without any explanation, and kept mumbling: "Alai loved to eat before, but after he got pregnant, he could only watch me eat it. There is a thirsty water shop over there. The most authentic The characteristics of Long Dance, Brother Shaobai also has a taste."

Jimo Qiu was dragged in and out of various shops.

Not long after, both of them were holding large and small bags in their hands.

Jimo Qiu was curious about everything he saw: "When I came yesterday, Shisan pestered Brother Fang Liu and the others to eat and drink everywhere. I thought that was all Fengluo. I never thought there were so many lost pearls. Fengluo City, follow me. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen before.”

Xun Ding smiled and said: "Where are you? When you have time in the future, I will be your host and show you more fun things."

"You don't even have to go on duty or accompany Alai?"

"Isn't this marriage leave? I still have my field leave and clothing leave this year. Even if I don't have any leave, Yaoguang Wei doesn't have much to do... There is no war now, so I am free... As for Alai, she is better than I'm still busy and can't find her every day."

Gongxi has not been sitting on his hands these past few years.

Although Gong Xiqiu left behind a fortune that she would never be able to spend in a few lifetimes, he also left behind more than a thousand old people, all of whom had to be supported. Gongxi took the initiative to disband them and arranged their places to go. Some of them were homeless and had no support due to physical disabilities. She couldn't just give them a sum of money and send them away. After all, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.

After thinking about it, she started a business with these old people.

At first it was just a matter of collecting some mountain goods.

After making profits, other tracks were opened.

Even though she is pregnant, she has no intention of stopping: "However, she will be able to relax after getting married."

Jimo Qiu's tone deepened: "The women in the clan are not restricted by the inner house. There is nothing wrong with Alai doing business. Don't you agree?"

"Brother Shaobai, don't kill a good person by mistake."

Xun Ding wished he could raise his hands and shout that he was wronged.

Sighing: "Oh, why don't I want to keep her busy? It is actually a specific provision of Kangguo's law. I am the general of Yaoguang Guard. After Alai gets married, she will be my wife. Whether she is a civil servant or a military attache, she is a close relative of the family. They are not allowed to do business. If allowed, Kang Guo doesn't know how corrupt he will be. Even if we don't get married, Alai couldn't do this originally. She is still the sister of the second brother. Although the second brother has no actual position in the court, But there was also a general who was in vain, but fortunately he got the permission of the king."

Gong Xiqiu himself was not in Kang State and had no real power. Gong Xilai was his adopted sister, so there was no problem in taking advantage of the opportunity to grant her permission to do business. Now that Gong Xichou is back, and Gong Xilai is going to marry Xun Ding, she can't handle these businesses personally.

It can only be left to people who are not related.

Otherwise, if the Yushitai knew about it, how could they miss this opportunity to find fault with Xun Zhen and cause trouble for Xun Zhen? Xun Ding thought with his toes, knowing that the censor would pinch him and not let him go. Either he was said to be lax in housekeeping, which caused unrest in the family, or he was unable to control his wife, or even worse, he was said to have conspired with his wife to make money. If the scope of the attack was wider, he could also criticize his father Xun Zhen for his incompetence in educating his children.

The memorials of the father and son can fill the Lord's desk.

The group of people at Yushitai are not afraid of anyone, and they dare to scold anyone. If he gets a little crazier, maybe Gong Xiqiu will be dragged in to scold him too.

The reason why Gongxi Lai is so busy is to deal with these little tails, handle the business well, and try not to leave any clues.

Jimo Qiu didn't expect this to be the reason.

He shook his head: "I don't know much about the secular world, but - since it is the intention of the king, there must be a deep meaning."

Xun Ding smiled: "Yes, money, power, and influence. One of the three is enough to be successful in this life. If you are greedy and want to get two, or even three, then don't blame it for disaster."

He first sent Jimo Qiu back to his temporary accommodation, watched the people go in, and then turned back to his home. As soon as he stepped up the steps, Si Yan came over and whispered that his father had been waiting for him for a long time.

Xun Ding's smile froze: "Father is back?"

Then he asked: "Father, how does he look?"

Si Yan also learned to lower his voice again.

"The parents seem to be in a good mood."

Because tomorrow is the wedding of Xun Ding and Gong Xilai, everyone in the Xun family is busy with this matter. The decoration part has been completed, and everything is red, and the servants are busy with the final preparations. When Xun Ding arrived, Xun Zhen was standing in front of the main hall door, lost in thought.

"Father, is this trip going well?"

Xun Zhen came back to her senses. She first observed whether Xun Ding had any external injuries. She softened her expression when she saw that nothing was wrong, but soon turned serious again and scolded: "You are already a father, and you are still so naughty? You are not at home. If you prepare well for your marriage, where can you go wild?"

"Of course I want to accompany my elder brother to get to know Feng Luo."

"Where do you come from, big brother?"

"He's Alai's eldest brother."

Gong Xiqiu has been looking for his biological brother for nearly ten years.

Xun Zhen asked again: "When did Brother Gongxi Qiu come?"

Xun Ding poured himself a large cup of tea.

"It should have been yesterday."

Xun Zhen glanced at her son secretly: "They came yesterday, so were you beaten by them together last night?"

Xun Ding: "..."

His biological father has become more and more like his stepfather in recent years.

Xun Ding changed the topic stiffly, not wanting to think about last night's beating, so he carefully apologized and said, "I just saw my father frowning, but is there something bothering him? Or did the inspection not go well?"

Xun Zhen rarely brought her business emotions to home.

"A little bit of both."

But I don’t want to say more about the specific content.

Xun Ding was too smart to get to the bottom of it. He just smiled and rubbed his hands, and said nervously: "Then, will the master come up tomorrow?"

Xun Zhen said quietly: "I will definitely come. Even if it is not for the sake of our father and son, I will come just because of Alai. You also said that Gong Xiqiu arrived in Fengluo yesterday..."

If it were anyone else, most people would think that Xun Zhen's words imply that Shen Tang and Gong Xichou have an unusual relationship, but Xun Ding heard something different: "What do you mean, father, there is going to be a war?"

Xun Zhen rubbed the tea cup, lowered her eyes and sighed: "It's either with Bei Mo or Gao Guo. The former is more likely."

If you want to start a war, you should pay more attention to benevolent generals.

Xun Zhen didn't know the relationship between Shen Tang and the Gongxi clan - even if Shen Tang didn't show mercy, Gongxi Qiu would fight for her - but it could be explained from Xun Zhen's perspective.

"Bei Mo can still understand, how can Gao Guo do it?"

"The news is being sealed at the moment, but it won't be hidden for a few days. You will know by then." Xun Zhen is very smart now. Once a war breaks out with Bei Mo, the Ministry of Revenue will cooperate with allocating money. , prepare food and baggage. It’s not that the state treasury doesn’t have this budget, it’s that the budget is not as large as expected. After just a few days of prosperity, we are about to return to a state of poverty.

"Wu Zhaode, I'm not sure if I'm going to be late." Xun Zhen sighed suddenly, while looking at this evil son of his own. Although he is a bit rebellious, the advantage is that he is less worried. He is much more worry-free than Wu Xian's sons and will not cause misfortune to his family.

Xun Ding: "..."

The grain and grass that disappeared in the "Ghost Grain Stealing Case" and the large amount of wealth gathered in the "Jinli Official Debt Case" disappeared when they entered the territory of Gaoguo. In other words, when Shen Tang wrote a letter to Wu Xian, the news was leaked and someone took advantage of it.

Wu Xian's attitude towards this matter is very ambiguous.

He openly wrote to Shen Tang to apologize, saying that he was sorry for failing to live up to her instructions, and that he would definitely catch the gangsters and recover the losses. However, he did not take any harsh measures in his actions, and he was just loud in his voice. They are all thousand-year-old foxes, who can't see that he is messing with Xini?

This news made Kang Guo prepare for the worst.

What's the plan?

Naturally, the war started on two fronts.

Respond to the front and rear attacks from the Northern Desert and Gao Kingdom.

At the same time, Wang Ting.

Shen Tang carefully read the reply that he could recite by heart several times. His inner anger was raging, but it was not vented. The atmosphere in the palace was just depressing. It wasn't until the female official in the inner palace said that Luan Xin asked for an audience that she calmed down and said, "Let justice come in."

Luan Xin, who was waiting outside the hall, slowly walked inside.

Shen Tang asked: "How is your leg injury going?"

"Thank you, Lord, for your concern. The doctors at the Medical Department have superb medical skills. After their careful care, it has improved. However, after all, it is an old injury that has damaged the muscles and bones. It will still take time to cure it." Luan Xin had a slight smile on his face. If you look closely at his legs, you can see that his movements are much more flexible than a few years ago. After the emperor and his ministers exchanged greetings, it was time to get down to business, "My lord, these are the news from the Kingdom of Gao."

In addition to the four divisions under the official department, there is also a special department that few people know about, which specializes in managing internal agents sent to various places.

The communication between the internal affairs department and the official department is unilateral.

It will be bi-directional unless otherwise instructed.

These pieces of information in Luan Xin's hands are related to whether Shen Tang will fight Gao Guo and Bei Mo together, or whether to attack Bei Mo first and then Gao Guo. If possible, she hoped it would be the latter. Although they have vigorously promoted and recruited many capable generals in recent years, the pressure of a two-front national war is still too great. If the wind is strong, the waves will capsize the boat.
