Early the next morning, Wang Yue was originally going to go to the Gu family and ask Liu Siyu to introduce her father Liu Tongpan. He thought he could make some arrangements. At least now, the Yangzhou family could not be the only one. This would not be conducive to the development of Qingzhou. After all, Qingzhou and Yangzhou
too close.
When he and Liu Yuru rushed there, Chen Xun and Yang Wenchang had already arrived. When they saw Wang Yue coming, they quickly said lively, "Brother is here, sit down quickly, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law is waiting for you."
, you go quickly, let the four of us brothers have a chat."
Liu Yuru also greeted the three of them politely, and then went to find Liu Siyu.
After she left, Gu Jiusi frowned and said, "I keep my word. You are my eldest brother now. Brother, if you have anything to say, just say it. What should I do next?"
Wang Yue saw that Gu Jiusi was so sincere, and then said very seriously, "Actually, it's very simple. Now every state in the world is doing its own thing. Although your Gu family is deliberately trying to be cunning, if you can stay in Yangzhou, it's better to stay in Yangzhou."
When Gu Jiusi heard what Wang Yue said, everyone said, "Brother Wang means, let our Gu family support the Liu family and establish a foothold in Yangzhou?"
Wang Yue nodded, shook his head, and then said firmly, "I think it's time for you to grow up. Since your parents think Youzhou is good, it's better to let them go to Youzhou first, and you
Stay in Dali, Yangzhou, and support the Liu family in expanding their own strength. If it succeeds, I will let your parents come back. If not, you will have nothing to worry about!"
Gu Jiusi saw that Wang Yue had even thought about his escape plan, so he thought that before Wang Yue came, both Chen Xun and Yang Wenchang had said that Wang Yue suggested that they move their family members back to Qingzhou first. This showed that Wang Yue was sincere to them. He would then
I became more sincere when I called him brother Wang Yue.
He said sincerely, "To be honest with you, brother, I have learned nothing over the years. Apart from practicing martial arts, I know nothing about business. After my parents leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with those shopkeepers at all."
Seeing how knowledgeable Gu Jiusi was, he waved his hand and said, "You don't understand, but your wife does."
Gu Jiusi was a little confused, and he asked in disbelief, "Are you kidding me? My wife is the legitimate daughter of the Tongpan family, how can she know how to do business?"
Wang Yue was speechless. He wanted Chen Xun and Yang Wenchang to remind Gu Jiusi, but found that they were also confused, so he said with contempt, "The three of us are really ignorant. Think about it, Jiusi
Did his mother come from a scholarly family? Did she also develop the Gu family to this point? Why do you think the second younger brother and sister are not good enough?"
When Chen Xun heard what Wang Yue said, he quickly flattered her and said, "There are very few business geniuses like my second brother's aunt. My second sister-in-law really may not be good at it."
Wang Yue sighed and said helplessly, "Before a daughter from a wealthy family gets married, her mother will teach her how to manage the household. You don't think it's as simple as just managing the back house, do you?"
When Yang Wenchang heard what Wang Yue said, he nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, under normal circumstances, before getting married, the legitimate daughter will take care of the house for her parents when she is at home, just to prevent herself from being in a hurry at her husband's house when she gets married.
."
When Gu Jiusi heard what Wang Yue said, he thought it made sense, so he quickly said, "Brother, didn't I say that my home was safe before something happened to my uncle and the others? I just happened to take advantage of this period of time to let my mother teach my daughter-in-law well."
Son, we just need to fully support my father-in-law."
Wang Yue wanted to say that something really happened and you couldn't run away at all, but he was worried that it wouldn't make sense, so he said in a deceptive way, "If it were a time of peace, I would definitely advise you to study more. Now, it just happens that you
Your martial arts skills are quite good, so I would like to advise you to ask your father-in-law for a position as a general, preferably one who can recruit his own troops."
Gu Jiusi knew that what Wang Yue said made sense, but he felt that he might not be able to convince his parents, so he said a little depressed, "I'm worried that my family won't support it. I'm the only child in the family."
Chen Xun was more flexible, so he quickly came up with an idea and said, "Second brother, you can let your master be your deputy. In this case, your uncle and aunt will definitely agree. You must know that your master's martial arts is very powerful.
of."
Gu Jiusi felt that Chen Xun's suggestion was good, so she was going to do it, and she could go out and have fun.
In fact, he wanted to be proud of the world, but he knew that this was unrealistic, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I will discuss it with my parents later, and I will go to my father-in-law's house tomorrow to ask for an official position."
Seeing that Gu Jiusi had made up his mind, Wang Yue said seriously, "Remember to call me when you go to Liu's house tomorrow. I just want to meet your father-in-law quietly and discuss something with him!"
When Gu Jiusi heard that Wang Yue wanted to go quietly, he couldn't help but frown. He hesitated for a moment and then asked with some confusion, "Why? Do you also want to find another official position here?"
Wang Yue was speechless and said disdainfully, "Do you think your father-in-law was suppressed by Wang Shanquan? You want to see if he is really capable of competing with Wang Shanquan in a short time and is he willing to compete?"
, we in Qingzhou can also adjust our plans."
Hearing Wang Yue's words, Gu Jiusi woke up from a dream. He nodded quickly and said, "Why did I forget the identity of my eldest brother? If there is Qingzhou's strong support, it will be easy for my father-in-law to gain a firm foothold."
Wang Yue waved his hand and said seriously, "We in Qingzhou can only support secretly. It is impossible to confront Wang Shanquan openly. That's why I want to meet your father-in-law."
Hearing what Wang Yue said, Gu Jiusi could understand. After all, Liu Tongpuan and Wang Yue were not related to each other. It was impossible for Wang Yue to completely offend Wang Shanquan just for the sake of circulating the sentence. This would be detrimental to the situation in Qingzhou.
After all, Qingzhou is not like Yangzhou, which only needs to defend against enemies in the west and north. Qingzhou can be said to have enemies everywhere except the sea to the east.
…
Now that things were agreed upon, Gu Jiusi stopped talking about serious matters and chatted about things. This was Gu Jiusi's strength, and the few of them chatted happily.
After Wang Yue and the others left, Gu Jiusi immediately went to his parents and told Wang Yue's plan.
Mrs. Gu, who had dealt with Wang Yue twice, never expected that Wang Yue would give them this idea regardless of past suspicions.
Indeed, they have deep roots in Yangzhou, which makes it easier for Gu Jiusi and his wife to manage. Although they have their business in Youzhou, it is not easy to take root there, even if they are familiar with the governor.
The matter really needs the couple to go and take care of it.
So, Mrs. Gu went to Liu Siyu and asked about Liu Siyu's intention. She wanted to hand over the housekeeping rights of the family to Liu Siyu.
Liu Siyu looked at her mother-in-law with some surprise. After her sisters got married, none of them had always set the rules, but few enjoyed happiness at home like her.
Now her mother-in-law actually handed over all the housekeeping to her, which made Liu Siyu very happy and became even closer to the eldest lady.
Mrs. Gu is also a neat person. She took Liu Siyu to visit all the shops in the house that afternoon. At the same time, she also called all the shopkeepers to the house and formally let Liu Siyu meet her. The entire Gu family was also officially acquainted with each other.
It's in Liu Siyu's hands.
Liu Siyu has been running the house for her mother for a long time at home. After taking over the Gu family's business, although there were some flaws in her handling, it also made Mrs. Gu feel at ease.
Mrs. Gu also began to prepare to leave Yangzhou, but it took time.
…
On this day, Wang Yue and Liu Yuru went out together, but their destinations were different.
Liu Yuru and Ye Yuner made an appointment to go shopping together today, so they would not accompany Wang Yue to Liu's house.
Liu Siyu originally wanted to go back to her parents' house with Gu Jiusi, but because she had just taken care of the house, she only arrived at Liu's house with Gu Jiusi. She didn't even drink a cup of tea, and immediately went to inspect the business, leaving only herself.
The personal maid told her mother what happened.
Wang Yue and Gu Jiusi met Liu Tongpan together. After the host and guest were seated, Liu Tongpan saw Wang Yue sitting down beside him carelessly, and looked at Gu Jiusi with some doubts. He didn't know what was going on.
A charter?
Gu Jiusi knew that it was time for him to introduce himself, so he quickly saluted his father-in-law, and then introduced him solemnly, "This is Wang Yue of Qingzhou, the only son of the governor of Qingzhou. I believe that my father-in-law has heard of it."
Bar?"
Wang Yue also clasped his fists towards Liu Tongpuan, and then said with a smile, "Liu Tongpuan, please forgive me for taking the liberty of coming to visit."
Liu Tongpuan was also shocked by Wang Yue's identity for a moment, then quickly returned the greeting, and then asked in confusion, "I wonder what the reason for Mr. Wang's coming here is?"
Wang Yue smiled, and then said sincerely, "Mr. Liu may not know that Brother Gu recognizes me as his eldest brother, so I can't just ignore him! So I'm going to help him plan his plans."
I knew Liu Tongpan immediately, so he frowned and asked, "I don't know what Mr. Wang's plan is, can I listen to it?"
Wang Yue smiled and said nothing. Instead, he looked at Gu Jiusi and asked him to test Liu Tongpan's tone first. He watched Liu Tongpan's reaction before making a decision.
After all, Wang Yue's previous thoughts were all based on his guesses about Liu Tongpan. I had to confirm Liu Tongpan's true thoughts first.
Of course Gu Jiusi knew this, so he quickly said respectfully, "Father-in-law, you must also know that my marriage to Yu'er has actually offended His Majesty the Emperor, so the two backers of our Gu family are in danger. If we want
If you want to protect yourself, you can only rely on your father-in-law, and please ask your father-in-law for help."
Liu Tongpan glanced at Wang Yue calmly, and then asked doubtfully, "What do you think I should do?"
Gu Jiusi bowed respectfully to Liu Tongpan again, and then said word for word, "Please, my father-in-law, give me the official position of a military general and allow me to recruit soldiers on my own."
Liu Tongpan saw that Gu Jiusi was very sincere. Although he was willing to agree, he still wanted to test it again, "How can I find you a military officer position? This is a big joke on a good son-in-law."
Wang Yue saw that Gu Jiusi couldn't make the point, so he smiled and added, "I heard from my wife before I came here that Ling Qianjin is now the housekeeper of the Gu family, and Mrs. Gu is no longer taking care of things. I want to come to Liu."
With the financial support of the Gu family, my family will definitely be able to gain a foothold in Yangzhou."
Liu Tongpan heard Wang Yue's words, and indeed there was a hint of joy in his eyes. He turned to look at Gu Jiusi, pretending to be confused and asked, "Xian son-in-law, is this really the case? Yu'er is still so young, how can he be in charge?
Such a big home?”
Gu Jiusi saw that her father-in-law was beaming with joy. Although she was cursing in her heart, she still said respectfully, "What are you talking about, father-in-law? Siyu is a lady from a well-known family. Being the head of the family is a piece of cake. My mother can rest assured. She summoned all the people yesterday.
The shopkeeper met Siyu and took her around the store in Yangzhou. It was a step-by-step tutorial, and Siyu handled it easily, so there will definitely be no problem."
When Liu Tongpan saw how detailed Gu Jiusi's words were, he knew that he would not be lying. After all, this matter could definitely be found out. Plus, his daughter's personal maid was still here, so there would be no mistake.
So, he made up his mind and asked solemnly, "Xian son-in-law, do you know that once you start to take charge of the army, you will completely fall out with Wang Shanquan. Are you mentally prepared?"
After hearing this, Wang Yue immediately understood what was going on. This old fox wanted Gu Jiusi to test Wang Shanquan first, while he himself used the Gu family's connections and money to consolidate his own power.
Now that he understood it, he couldn't let Gu Jiusi suffer, so he quickly interrupted Gu Jiusi and said unhappily, "Mr. Liu, you should also know that the matter now is more urgent. If you continue to be timid and test, once
If the backstage of the Gu family falls, the world will be in chaos, who do you think Wang Shanquan will be the first to eliminate?"
Liu Tongpan originally wanted to say that it belonged to the Gu family, but he suddenly thought of a problem. After the Gu family's backstage fell, the Gu family was just a white man, so he was the biggest threat to Wang Shanquan.
Only then did he realize that the emperor's health was deteriorating day by day, and he might one day become ill again.
The prince was really hard to explain, he was no match for Prince Liang, but the emperor had no other sons.
The current situation is that either King Liang will rebel and seize the throne after the emperor's death.
Either your Majesty kills Prince Liang before he dies and ensures the safety of the throne to the crown prince.
No matter what the outcome is, the East will definitely be in chaos, and the world will already be in chaos.
Will Wang Shanquan let him go?
That certainly won’t happen!
The more Liu Tongpan thought about it, the more frightened he became. He unconsciously felt a chill running down his spine. He looked at Wang Yue uneasily and said in an urgent voice, "Young Master Wang, is the world going to be in chaos? You Qingzhou have already got it."
