When Young Master Cen Qi said these words, all three of them were suspicious, especially Miss Huang, who suddenly had a strange look in her charming eyes.
But her reaction was very quick, and she immediately gave a sweet smile and said, "Seventh Young Master's courage is really unmatched by ordinary people. After hearing this, the slave family almost fell in love with you, Seventh Young Master."
Such straightforward words actually came from the mouth of a lady of great status, which could only be said in this land of Guangxi and the home of the chieftain.
The Seventh Young Master Fei Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "Oh, this is such a pity, why is it so close? If you are willing to marry Miss Huang, this is a mere Bazhai land, who cares who gets it, and What's the big deal?"
Miss Huang's face turned slightly red, and she didn't know whether it was true or not. She smiled shyly, "Seventh Young Master is joking. This matter cannot be decided by the slave family."
This girl was naturally charming, and her shy and timid smile was even more endearing. Mr. Zhao Er and Mr. Mo, who were watching from the side, couldn't help but feel swaying in their hearts. At the same time, they secretly thought that if the Huang family hadn't really been offended, they would have been here today. On her territory, she had to find a way to drink this verbal soup.
On the contrary, the Seventh Young Master was quite determined and smiled slightly and said, "This matter is not a problem. How about I personally go to Siming Mansion and pay a visit to Huang Shishu when the time comes?"
Miss Huang's smile froze slightly, and then she smiled again and said, "Okay, then the slave family will be waiting for the Seventh Young Master in Fucheng. The Seventh Young Master will not break his promise, right?"
Mr. Cen Qi laughed and folded his folding fan, "You can die under peonies and be a ghost. With Miss Zhiting's words, even if Siming Mansion is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, I, Cen Qi, have to go there."
It turns out that although Miss Huang is the daughter of a chieftain, her maiden name is Zhiting, and she is quite Han-style.
Mr. Zhao Er had just been made angry by Huang Zhiting's charming attitude. Unexpectedly, the two of them were flirting next. He couldn't help but his face darkened, and he said in a nonchalant manner, "Seventh Young Master, do you want to make peonies?" You romantic ghost under the flowers, you might as well put this matter off until later, why don’t we talk about business now.”
Cen Qi Gongzi looked helpless and sighed, "Then you should talk about it. Didn't I just tell you about the Cen family's attitude?"
There was a hint of disbelief on Mr. Zhao Er's fat face, and his swollen eyes narrowed slightly, almost without a gap. "Seventh Young Master, is this really a joke?"
No wonder he refused to believe that this Bazhai land was the center of Guangxi. Once it was obtained, it could threaten Liuzhou Prefecture, an important town in central Guangxi, and Pennsylvania in the south, and even Nanning Prefecture, an important town in southern Guangxi. It held a treasure land. If the Zhao family can succeed, although it won't be able to say that their strength will increase significantly for a while, their momentum will probably be on par with the Cen and Huang families soon.
The Seventh Young Master seemed to be at a loss and said nonchalantly, "Of course I'm not joking. The Cen family has no interest in Bazhai."
At this time, Young Master Mo couldn't help but speak, and said, "Second Master Zhao, did the Zhao family really not give more thought to what the Seventh Young Master said before? If the Zhao family takes the land of Bazhai, the court will not agree to it, right? I'll give it to you. See, the Zhao family might as well try to take full control of Sien Mansion as the Seventh Young Master said. As for the Bazhai land, part of it originally belonged to our Mo family, Xincheng County. The Mo family obtained the Bazhai area. It is the most suitable in every aspect.”
Mr. Zhao Er seemed to have heard some big joke. He laughed and said, "I'm surprised that Mr. Mo said this. Since part of the Bazhai land originally belonged to Mo's Xincheng County, why did you do it when the Bazhai rebelled? The Mo family was indifferent and allowed him to plunder the land. In the end, the imperial court couldn't bear it and sent out a large army to encircle and suppress the victory? Oh, I know, when he wanted to contribute, Mo family pretended to be deaf and dumb. When he wanted to divide the fields, Mo family went down the mountain. Picking peaches? Hehe, there is such a good thing in the world."
Mr. Mo's face turned red and he couldn't help but retort, "How much effort did your Zhao family have to do to put down the rebellion in the Eight Villages?"
"The Zhao family may not have contributed much, but our Huang family has contributed a lot, right? After the victory in this battle, Liu Zhijun reported to the court, and the chieftain evaluated my Huang family as the Huang family. If the Huang family supports the Zhao family to obtain the eight villages, the court must still be willing to do so. Let’s hear what the Huang family thinks?”
This was naturally said by Huang Zhiting, but she actually supported the Zhao family in acquiring the Bazhai area on behalf of the Huang family, which made Mr. Mo change his mind in awe.
Originally, the Zhao family was the largest chieftain in Guangxi, second only to the Cen and Huang families. After the Cen Meng Rebellion in Tianzhou decades ago, the imperial court downgraded Tianzhou Prefecture to a prefecture, divided up part of it, and took away the Si family that originally belonged to the Cen family. The Enfu took advantage of the fact that the main members of the Cen family were killed by Cen Meng and appointed them as governors.
Later, although Si'en was unstable and had to introduce chieftains to manage it, they refused to return the land to the Cen family. Instead, they introduced the Zhao family as the co-prefect of Si'en Mansion to assist the official magistrate sent by the imperial court to manage Si'en. kindness.
However, decades later, the Zhao family had established a firm foothold in Si'en Mansion, and instead regarded the imperial magistrates as carrot stamps. However, although the imperial court was dissatisfied with this, it was not an explosion.
After all, even if the Zhao family obtained the Sien Mansion, it was still inferior to the Cen family. If the Zhao family were to control the old land of the Cen family, there would be no possibility for the Zhao family and the Cen family to join forces, which would make the court feel much more comfortable. .
But what does this have to do with Huang? What benefits does the Huang family bring to the Huang family by supporting the Zhao family in acquiring the Bazhai area? If the Zhao family had the ability to compete with the Cen family, it would certainly be an attack on the Cen family's prestige, but wouldn't it also be an attack on the Huang family's own prestige?
Originally, Guangxi was dominated by the Cen and Huang families, but there was an additional Zhao family driving alongside them. This obviously had only disadvantages but no advantages! How could Huang Chengzu do such a stupid thing?
Mr. Mo did not expect such a scene and fell into silence for a moment.
On the other side, Master Cen Qi suddenly chuckled and said, "What a scheming, what a scheming!" But he did not say who was scheming. Instead, Shi Shiran stood up and said with a smile, "Brother Mo, it seems that this The land of Bazhai already has an owner, we are all irrelevant people, it is useless to stay for a long time, why not go?"
Young Master Mo Mo Chen hesitated for a moment, with obvious unwillingness on his face, but he still stood up and walked out the door without saying a word.
This time, he was ahead of Master Cen Qi, but Master Cen Qi was not angry. He smiled at Huang Zhiting and Zhao Lizhong and said, "I was about to leave, but suddenly I remembered something that stuck in my throat and I had to say it. "
Zhao Lizhong turned his head and glanced at Huang Zhiting. Huang Zhiting spoke just in time. Her voice was as pleasant as an oriole's. "Seventh Young Master, if you have any advice, you might as well say so. I am all ears."
"No matter what the Huang family's plan is, the success or failure of this matter does not actually depend on our hands. Even if I, Cen, support you, the court may not necessarily hear it. I think the girl should know that this The newly arrived Gao Yuntai is not an ordinary person. Not to mention his status as the sixth number one scholar, just because he is the current emperor's companion, his opinions are likely to be more important than Liu Zhijun's. Is Bazhai returned to the chieftain? Governance, or governance by returned officials, ultimately depends on the opinion of the high press station. If he does not agree, any debate we have here is actually meaningless."
Huang Zhiting was still smiling, "Thank you, Seventh Young Master, for reminding me. I have learned a lesson."
The seventh young master looked at her deeply, turned and left.
As soon as Mr. Cen Qi left, Zhao Lizhong's eyes lit up, and he secretly thought in his heart that there were only me and this girl from the Huang family. If
Unexpectedly, there was no trace of coquettishness on Huang Zhiting's face at this moment, and she said coldly, "Mr. Zhao Er, I hope you and your brother will remember your promise. The support of my Huang family is not in vain. No matter whether things come true or not, I, Huang Everyone will take Longzhou as a gift of thanks."
Zhao Lizhong's face stiffened, then he smiled again, "This is natural, but according to the agreement, the Huang family has to clearly express their support for the Zhao family to obtain the Eight Villages in front of the high-ranking official. Miss Huang can't even meet her now." I haven’t met him yet.”
Huang Zhiting turned around, with her back to him, and said calmly, "You don't need to worry about my affairs, Mr. Zhao Er. It's getting late, and I still have a lot of things to do. Mr. Zhao, please come back."
Zhao Lizhong's fat face twitched, he stared hard at Huang Zhiting's waist and hips, swallowed hard, and finally turned around and left with a cruel heart.
Huang Zhiting listened to his footsteps with deep disgust on her face.
