In the carriage, Chu Chengyao rubbed his eyebrows and asked:
"Has the Xue family received the news about the Wansheng Cauldron?"
Zhong Yi said respectfully: "I've received it. The Xue family sent someone to the auction house to inquire about it this morning."
Chu Chengyao: "Well, just let the Xue family know the news. Don't let others know and disrupt my plan."
Zhong Yi: "What about Li Siyu?"
Chu Chengyao: "The people at the auction house will only sell the Wansheng Cauldron to the Xue family. Even if Li Siyu knew about it, he wouldn't get it. It's just a personal favor."
Never sleep.
An Zhixian listened to the news from Ling Wu and made tea smoothly:
"It seems that Chu Chengyao is preparing to attack the household department."
An Nanfeng said in confusion: "Even if the Minister of Hubu is dismissed, there is no one available for the second prince in the Hubu. He might even be cut off by Chu Chengye. Doesn't he make a wedding dress for others?"
An Zhixian smiled and said, "How could there be no one? Didn't Chu Chengyao talk with the minister of household affairs who was doing the disaster relief, often holding candles and talking at night?"
An Nanfeng: "The Minister of Hubu just has a good impression of the second prince and has a personal relationship with him. He has never done anything for the second prince. The Ministry of Hubu is under the jurisdiction of the prince. The minister of Hubu has a bright future with the prince. How can he easily join someone else?" ?”
An Zhixian: "Although the household department is under the jurisdiction of the prince, only the Gao family has a bright future. Only when the minister falls, the minister can make a difference."
An Nanfeng nodded thoughtfully: "It is true, but there is more than one minister of household affairs. Liu Shilang has been in the position of minister for ten years, and he is also Taifu Lin's in-law. In terms of qualifications and background, he is superior."
An Zhixian smiled and said: "The Lin family's second wife has been separated for many years. Liu Shilang also sent a beauty to Chu Chengyao. How could the prince reuse him? What's more, after watching Chu Chengyao for so many years, he already knew that he was deeply scheming. , be ruthless and forbearing, have a long-term plan for doing things, and will never do anything in vain."
Ling Wu: "Just now, the second prince, Yang Qi, Yushi Yang's son, and Li Siyu went to the house last time. There were hidden sentries nearby, so they didn't follow too closely for fear of being discovered."
An Zhixian: "Yang Qi often makes friends with children of aristocratic families and businessmen who are willing to spread wealth in order to accumulate connections and wealth for Chu Chengyao. Needless to say about money, these young children of aristocratic families cannot see the strength at this time. In a few years, they will be It’s a huge help. It’s only normal for Yang Qi to focus on Li Siyu.”
An Nanfeng smiled and shook his head and said: "Miss Lin's ability to recognize people is beyond my reach. Back then, Li Siyu was very poor. Who would have thought that he would be so talented in business."
An Zhixian's eyes flashed slightly, and the beautiful image of the painting that day at the Hua Hui flashed through his mind unconsciously:
"This is not the only thing she has not predicted. I haven't seen her for many days, and I don't know what Miss Lin is up to."
Ling Wu: "Miss Lin had guests today and did not leave the house. During the meal, Miss Zhou came to the door with her maid. After the meal, the second lady of Pingyang Hou Mansion came to see Miss Lin to play chess. Lin has not left yet. Didn’t the lady just come here two days ago? How could it be that we haven’t seen you for so many days?”
Hearing this, An Zhixian was stunned for a moment, cleared his throat awkwardly, hurriedly picked up the tea cup and drank tea, then changed the topic:
"I remember wrongly. Didn't it say that Feng Xiaoran was on the way to Beijing? Where was he?"
An Nanfeng held the tea cup but smiled silently.
Ling Wu: "Master Feng should be able to arrive at Tai'an City within two days."
An Nanfeng deliberately brought the topic back: "As soon as Master Feng comes, he will definitely go to Miss Lin and ask for the jade pendant."
