Chapter 1138
Mu Zhanxiao was calm: "I haven't been there for many years. It happens that the shop has something to do to go to Jiangnan in person."
This explanation is reasonable, even the face does not change, so that people can not show any emotion at all. It is also nonsense to make it clear, so they have no intention to tell the truth at all.
Li Shiyuan naturally knew, but he didn't ask much. He nodded and said, "yes. It's much more convenient for you to deal with some things yourself than for the people below. "
Mu Zhanxiao made a sound, didn't say anything, just stood with his hands down. But as long as we talk about Jiangnan, we can obviously feel the gloom of Mu Zhanxiao.
Li Shiyuan didn't mind Mu Zhanxiao's silence. He took a sip of tea and asked, "when will you be back?"
"About half a month." Mu Zhanxiao answered.
From Kyoto to Jiangnan, it will take three days, which is reasonable. Li Shiyuan nodded, did not ask more, quickly changed the topic: "right."
"Say it, Emperor." Mu Zhanxiao asked Li Shiyuan directly.
Li Shiyuan did not shy away: "you are not only King Mu, but also Minister of this great Zhou Dynasty. However, the position of your superior and internal assistant is always empty. Many people in the court ask me, and I am very tired of asking. I'd like to ask you, when are you going to set up a concubine? "
"Not for the time being." Mu Zhanxiao said bluntly, "does the emperor want to point out the marriage to the minister?"
This made Li Shiyuan laugh: "I don't dare to point out my marriage to you. If I want to point out my marriage to you, I can't point out that you are just like Shao Yun, who went directly to the frontier and never came back. If I leave me alone in Kyoto, then I really want to cry without tears. "
And Mu Zhanxiao's brother for many years, is also many years of tacit understanding, many things they don't even need to talk, they will easily know each other's ideas, don't need to spend time and effort to communicate.
Long Shaoyun is used to working in the frontier all the year round. Even if he returns to the general's residence in Kyoto, he will be stationed in the frontier for nearly half a year.
If Mu Zhanxiao were like this, Li Shiyuan would really cry. It's difficult to deal with the emperor in the court of Zhou Dynasty. Mu Zhanxiao is an indispensable and capable general of Li Shiyuan.
But Li Shiyuan's words made Mu Zhanxiao laugh out: "I don't have any idea of setting up a concubine."
"I turned these people down when I came back." Li Shiyuan is very simple, "I am also very tired of these people.". It used to be Niandao who asked me to set up a concubine. Now, I'm thinking about the candidates to sell concubines to you and Shao Yun every day. "
With that, Li Shiyuan waved his hand, but soon he said, "but then again, you are not young. At this age, you should have lots of wives and concubines and children."
Mu Zhanxiao didn't respond to this topic any more. He just thought Li Shiyuan was happy now and began to think about himself. He was a little bored.
When Li Shiyuan saw that Mu Zhanxiao didn't speak, he didn't say anything. They drank tea quietly until Mu Zhanxiao took the initiative to leave. Li Shiyuan got up and watched the figure of Mu Zhanxiao leave sink. There was a trace of fun in his eyes. When he raised his eyes, he recovered as usual.
……
——
A few days later, Mu Zhanxiao left for Jiangnan.
He did not gallop, but sat in the carriage. But along the way, Mu Zhanxiao was very silent. He didn't say a word. Even manager Wang, who was familiar all the year round, noticed the abnormality and passively looked at Mu Zhanxiao in the carriage.
The atmosphere in the carriage was a little depressing.
For a long time, it was shopkeeper Wang who could not help breaking the silence: "Xiao Ye, why did you go to Jiangnan in person? No matter how important it is, I'll do it for you. I don't need you to go there in person. What's more, the south of the Yangtze River -- "
Shopkeeper Wang doesn't understand at all.
Over the years, shopkeeper Wang has been in charge of all kinds of business. It's really not up to Li Shiyuan and Mu Zhanxiao to do it in person. What's more, their identities make them have no time to do it now. The most important thing is that Jiangnan is a trivial matter. Let alone Mu Zhanxiao, even shopkeeper Wang doesn't have to do it in person.
But it's just a business. Besides, the profit of this business is not high. Even in the eyes of shopkeeper Wang, it means to help. It doesn't do any harm to just support the merchants in Jiangnan. At least these years, the people in Xu's family have been beaten down.
And Mu Zhanxiao seems to be indifferent to the people in Xu's house, but he can't hide his ruthlessness. The merchants in the south of the Yangtze River can make a comeback, and Mu Zhanxiao also contributes a lot. Xu's house has lost its market step by step, which is what Mu Zhanxiao indicates.
"Is the shop ready?" Mu Zhanxiao didn't answer manager Wang's question. He asked himself.
Shopkeeper Wang is a human spirit. Naturally, he knows what Mu Zhanxiao means. He responds intelligently: "ready. The shopkeeper of the other party has already replied, and their leader will come to talk about it in person. "
Mu Zhanxiao said: "just go to talk, do as I ask, and restrain him."
"I know." Shopkeeper Wang nodded, "it's just Xiao Ye who wants to --"
"Hanging." Mu Zhanxiao answered.
Shopkeeper Wang knows.
This means that Mu Zhanxiao has set a trap for others, but he doesn't intend to make the merchant go extinct. He still wants to keep the merchant, as if for some purpose. And this business is also the biggest business in Jiangnan in recent years.
Shopkeeper Wang is a passer-by. He looks very clear. In a few years, they can easily surpass Xu's house and devour most of the rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River. But compared with Xu's house, this shop is more just
So how did they offend Mu Zhanxiao?
Mu Zhanxiao seems to have made a huge profit, but once the agreement is reached, the shop will be seized. With Mu Zhanxiao's backhand, the shop's hard work for many years will be wiped out, so all the initiative lies with Mu Zhanxiao.
According to shopkeeper Wang's understanding of Mu Zhanxiao, this is an offense, not something else.
But shopkeeper Wang didn't ask any more. Why do you understand everything in this world.
However, Mu Zhanxiao closed his eyes and said nothing.
On the surface, no one can see the clue of Mu Zhanxiao, but mu Zhanxiao clearly knows that if he can come to Jiangnan in person, he only hears the news of Xu WANYING. Otherwise, Mu Zhanxiao will not come in person.
Over the years, Mu Zhanxiao deliberately blocked anything that had anything to do with Xu WANYING, but mu Zhanxiao knew more or less that Xu WANYING had been expelled from the Xu family for unknown reasons.
