Zhan Zhumen

Being stared at by Huo Xi, Mu Yan finally swallowed the smile on his face.

He took her to his side and played with her catkins: "Mr. Mi really has some skills. His hands can sense things that others can't. Betting on stones has a bit more winning rate than others. But it's not always the right bet. Yes, sometimes it doesn’t work.”

Huo Xi stared wide-eyed, she really has cheating fingers!
"It's okay if it's timeless, even if it's one out of ten, you can still make a lot of money, right?"

"One out of ten? What's the use of cutting the big stuff down, and the small stuff going up? Besides, he has such a skill. If he is exposed to others, he may become someone else's tool. It is also a burden for him. Huai It's a crime, he almost lost his life because of it before. After being cast under my sect, it's only been a few years of easy life."

Huo Xi was silent.Indeed, with such ability, if encountering powerful and powerful people scrambling for it, I'm afraid I might lose my life.

"Then he is the most ineffective today?" Is she so unlucky?

"Not necessarily. The stone is too big. If the green is in the middle of the stone core, no matter how skilled you are, you won't be able to sense it through such a thick outer skin. We wiped it thinly today, so it's normal for there to be no green. Besides, I It is also intentionally not to cut thickly. Let's fish first."

"Fishing?" Whom?Huo Xi frowned, "Fishing?"

Mu Yan raised her eyebrows, "Why do you say that?"

"I guessed it right?" Seeing him raising his eyebrows, Huo Xi was a little proud.

"There was something wrong with Xuanyi today. At the beginning, I really thought that he was just showing favor to us, taught me how to choose materials, and helped me choose a few good materials, which made me earn thousands of taels. But later I think he had intentions, especially after he encouraged us to buy the big piece of material, I think everything he did today was premeditated, right?"

"My wife is still smart." Mu Yan nodded: "Xu Yi was indeed premeditated, and was waiting to catch us a long time ago."

"Why? His family is in the jade business. No matter how big the local family is, no matter how many people are behind him, they shouldn't be so stupid as to offend the Mu family, right?" Don't want An Sheng to do business?
Mu Yan narrowed his eyes: "He didn't dare to offend the Mu family, but he dared to offend me."

"Huh?" Is there a difference?
"Of course there are differences."

"You mean, he is...Mu Zhan's person? Or did he choose to stand on Mu Zhan's side?" Is it because he doesn't like her man, the prince?

"I have lived in the capital for a long time. As long as Duke Qian is not dead, and I am not too old to manage, I will continue to stay in Beijing as a hostage. I don't know when I will be called back by the emperor. Instead of relying on me, this can't be brought to the Xuan family. For a son with greater interests, it is better to choose Mu Zhan, the young master of the Mu family in Changzhen, Yunnan."

With the protection of the young master of the Mu family, the business of the Xi family will grow bigger and run smoothly.

Although the words were plain, Huo Xi could still hear a feeling of depression, frustration, being trapped and unable to fly freely.

I couldn't help feeling distressed for a while.Hugged him: "You still have me."

Mu Yan hugged her tightly, how lucky I have you by my side.

After a while, Huo Xi asked him again: "Have you already discovered the relationship between Xuan Yi and Mu Zhan?"

"It was only discovered in the last two days. The person who was watching Mu Zhan reported that he had seen a lot of times with Xiu Yi recently. If I replace it with ordinary stone, I will do whatever I can."

"Let me buy that piece of material? But is it necessary to lose 10,000+ taels for nothing?" Huo Xi was dissatisfied.

Mu Yan tapped her forehead lightly with her fingers, "It's all said to be tricky, will you do business at a loss for your husband?"

Huo Xi's eyes lit up: "Did you change that piece of material?" Mu Yan just smiled and didn't say much.

Back at the gate of the Mu Mansion, the sky was already dim.Huo Xi was helped out of the carriage, "Hey, has the coachman changed?"

Mu Yan didn't speak, and pulled her up the steps in front of the door.

"Your Majesty, madam." The two doormen saluted.

Huo Xi nodded with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work." Following Mu Yan, he raised his legs and stepped across the threshold.Xiang Cao, who followed her, gave each of them a handful of rewards.

The two doormen didn't realize it for a long time. They looked at the copper plate in their hands and couldn't believe it: "What did you hear just now?"

"Madam told us that we have worked hard, and give us a reward?"

After being stunned for a long while, Qi Qi raised his voice to Huo Xi who had walked a long way: "Thank you Ma'am!"

When the couple returned to the mansion, they didn't know that the two of them spent nearly 26 taels of silver to gamble on stones, and even broke the news, which had spread throughout the mansion.

But even if they knew the two of them, they wouldn't take it to heart.The husband and wife had dinner and took a walk in the mansion to digest food before returning to the house.

"You changed the coachman?"

"No. It's just to keep him away. It's not a good time to scare the snake away. It's easier to guard against someone if you know there is someone out there. It's better than pulling out the nail and being arranged again, and we bother to find it and then remove it."

After all, he and his wife had just returned to the mansion, and they didn't give back. It's normal for people everywhere not to listen to his and his wife's orders.

"Remember to bring more people with you when you go out. Don't be careless even in the mansion."

Huo Xi nodded in response, "But I don't think Aunt Jun should be so stupid. She wants to attack us, right? Her elder brother is dead, and if she wants to avenge him, she won't do such a stupid move, right? Let's break it In Yunnan? Even if Mu Zhan can get crowned heir, wouldn’t he still have to stay in the capital? Even if there is still Mu Wang who can count on, you are not afraid that your people will get Mu Wang, and she will be beaten in the end? Wouldn’t Yunnan be handed over to the three? House? Make a wedding dress for someone?"

According to Huo Xi, if it was her, she would not do such a stupid thing.

Although her husband and wife are well-known, if they cannot stay in Yunnan, they will not be able to hold real power.Why bother to lay hands on her and his wife?Fame is more important than real power?

"Don't underestimate Jun, and don't think about her with ordinary people's hearts. Don't be careless."

"Ah."

Early the next morning, while Huo Xi was still asleep, Mu Yan woke up and went to the council hall of the mansion to discuss matters.

As the son of the eldest son, it's fine if he's not in Yunnan. Now that he's back in Yunnan, with his status, he naturally has to follow the discussion.

When he arrived at the meeting hall, he found that everyone had arrived early, even his own father, and the hall was crowded with people.

"I have met the prince!" All the staff and officials of Mu's mansion, as well as the men of Mu's mansion who are younger than Mu Yan, and even Mu Zhan Mu Ang stood up and saluted Mu Yan.

Mu Sheng stared at him, thinking that he was experiencing this kind of occasion for the first time, and there were dozens of people in the hall. As for the movement, he said the word "free of courtesy" with precious words like gold, and then walked straight to the position on his right without stopping.

I couldn't help secretly applauding in my heart.

He is worthy of being the successor chosen by his father and elder brother. This kind of bearing is the image of a qualified son, and he will be an excellent Duke in the future.

After Mu Zhan finished his salute, he sat down and gritted his teeth secretly.In the past, it was only his father who he wanted to visit.

"Next time, don't let so many people wait for you alone. You need to be more diligent."

"Am I late?"

Uh...Mu Sheng choked.

Mu Ang hastily smiled to end the situation: "We came early. We discuss matters at Maozheng every day, and this is about to arrive at Maozheng." Looking at Mu Sheng, "Second brother, since we are all here, why don't we start discussing things?"
