"Brother?" Zhang Liu became excited. He didn't want to be hit on the back of the head by Wu Yin again, so he instantly woke up and said, "Xiao, Mrs. Xiao Zhen, little Zhang Liu has met Mrs. Xiao Zhen."

When Zhang Liu called him eldest brother, Xiao Zhen stiffened for a moment, but soon she looked at him with a smile and said, "Wu Yin, Zhao Jie has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Thanks to them for introducing me here, it's much better than working as a bookkeeper outside." Zhang Liu's eyes were slightly moist. He kept looking at Xiao Zhen for a while, then turned around and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.

Seeing that the brothers around him became a little silent, Xiao Zhen moved his fingers hanging on his legs, but the hearty smile on his face did not change.

"When Yan Qing came here, there was sand in it," Zhang Liu said with a smile.

Xi Ya, who was following Xiao Zhen, pouted. The sand stayed in the eyes of Liu Qing for a really long time. Everyone could see that what he said was just to cover up something. Xi Ya thought the eyes of Liu Qing were quite strange.

Yes, but I can't tell what's strange about it.

At this time, I heard Zhang Liu say again: "It's great to be with my brothers again."

"Yes." For a moment, the atmosphere became high again.

"Zhang Liu, why are you alone?"

"Your family didn't let you carry on the family lineage?"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Zhang Liu scratched his head and said sheepishly: "My family is poor and no woman is willing to marry me."

"I happen to have someone here," Zhao Jie called to Xi Ya: "Xiya, what do you think of my Zhang Liu?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes suddenly fell on her, Xi Ya stamped her feet. Instead of being shy like a girl, she shouted: "Zhao Jie, I let you tease me." After saying that, she rushed forward and was about to fight.

When Zhao Jie saw this, he ran away quickly. It was very exciting for a while.

Xiao Zhen was a little dazed by this situation, as if a scene like this had happened a long time ago, but no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't figure out why.

In the evening, Ren Jinxiu, who had become the concubine of the Ninth Prince, suddenly came to the Han Mansion. As soon as she arrived, she threw herself into Xiao Zhen's arms and cried.

After letting Aunt Cui Su and Xi Ya go down, Xiao Zhen helped Ren Jinxiu sit down, took a silk handkerchief to wipe her face, and then asked: "Concubine, what's going on?"

"Sister Xiao Zhen, why are you teasing me like this? Just call me Jinxiu."

Seeing that the little girl was really in a bad mood, Xiao Zhen put away his smile and asked, "Did the Ninth Prince bully you?"

Speaking of the Ninth Prince, Ren Jinxiu's eyes turned red again, tears fluttering down her face, and she said aggrievedly: "Sister Xiao Zhen, he won't consummate the marriage with me."

Xiao Zhen: "..." I never expected this to happen.

"What did he say? He wanted to give his first time to the woman he loved most. He also said that the woman he loved hasn't been found yet." Ren Jinxiu burst into tears as she spoke.

Xiao Zhen: "..."

"Sister, what do you think I should do?"

What should she, an outsider, say about this kind of thing? Xiao Zhen wanted to laugh when he heard that the Ninth Prince actually had such innocent thoughts. He didn't know how to comfort Concubine Ren who was crying very sadly, so she had to shoot

He patted the back of her hand and said, "Take your time, maybe the Ninth Prince will figure it out soon."

"But, he will marry Ning soon. If Ning gets there first, I will be furious."

Xiao Zhen: "..." So, is this concubine sad because she was rejected on the night of the wedding, or is she worried that the Ninth Prince will be the first to get married for the first time? Well, it all sounds strange.

Xiao Zhen was not good at dealing with this kind of thing, so he kept silent most of the time. When he was thinking about how to comfort Concubine Ren, Ren Jinxiu sniffed, wiped away her tears, and said: "Sister Xiao Zhen, I want to go find Sister Concubine Ren.

Let her find a way for me, she has many ways."

"Okay." Xiao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Ren here said that she would go to the Crown Princess to find a solution. It was not yet night, but something happened to the Ninth Prince. She said that the Crown Prince had found evidence of the Ninth Prince's rebellion.

Sure enough, in the evening, I found it under a locust tree in the Ninth Prince's residence. It was said that it was a kind of witchcraft that could lead to death, and the target of the magic was the current emperor.

The most popular witchcraft among the people is to beat villains, but the royal family is quite afraid of this, so it is forbidden. When the emperor heard about it, he immediately ordered the ninth prince to be thrown into prison.

Xiao Zhen didn't know much about the affairs of the court. He only felt that Ziran and Che Fei were not smart enough to see through such a little trick. Is the situation in the court about to change?

Therefore, people in the house are ordered to try not to go out during this period.

As usual, Zhao Jie and Wu Yin were gossiping when they were bored.

This time, in addition to the two nuns Su Cui and Xi Ya, there were also their brothers, so they had a great time chatting, and Xiao Zhen's garden became a place for them to gather.

The women were holding shoe soles, mending clothes, and listening to the men's talk from time to time.

The men were practicing their moves and talking.

In this situation, Xiao Zhen always felt as if she was holding a temple meeting. After glancing at everyone chatting animatedly outside the window, Xiao Zhen continued to immerse herself in practicing calligraphy. Her calligraphy already had the skeleton of Han Ziran, even though Han Ziran

He said that his writing was very good and he would be almost as good as him if he continued practicing. However, Xiao Zhen knew that there was still a long way to go. For her, the most important thing was to know how to write.

Nowadays, she spends nearly three hours a day on recognizing calligraphy, but she is not in a hurry to practice calligraphy.

"lady."

Just when Xiao Zhen put down the book in his hand and was about to change his book, Zhang Liu walked in.

"Is something wrong?" Xiao Zhen asked with a smile. "Brothers have already decided that we will do the bullock cart business together." Zhang Liu, a tall man, smiled shyly at this time and handed Xiao Zhen a few pieces of paper: "These

It's a sketch of an ox-cart, based on the appearance of the chariots we used during the war. We discussed it and started with the recent ones.

Start in counties and townships.”

Xiao Zhen looked at a few sample pictures and was attracted by the shape of the oxcart in the picture: "You drew these?"

"Yes."

"Nice painting."

Zhang Liu scratched his head in embarrassment: "From now on, Madam will be our head."

"Me?" Xiao Zhen was slightly surprised: "You came up with this idea. I just contributed the money. How can I be the head of the family?" "You are our eldest brother." Zhang Liu said cheerfully, as soon as he finished speaking

, then secretly annoyed that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "What I mean is that Brother Ax is Madam's eldest brother, so Madam is the same existence as eldest brother in our hearts. Besides, Madam has paid for it, and the position of the head of the family

Of course, the lady is sitting there."

"Thank you." Xiao Zhen really didn't know what to say at this moment. She could feel that Zhang Liu meant what he said. These brothers were very special to her. They all looked at her with respect in their eyes. See you.

Xiao Zhen suddenly became silent. His appearance was very similar to that of his old bow-headed brother. Zhang Liu was in a daze. When Wu Yin and Zhao Jie wrote the secret code in a letter to tell him the situation, he felt that they must be playing a trick.

He, after all, they had done this kind of thing before, when they saw Xiao

The moment I saw the real lady, I knew it was true. Oh, it’s hard to describe the feeling at that time.

"I can only say that I am your partner. Since we have decided to start a bullock cart business, let's do it well and make it big." Xiao Zhen thought for a while and said.

"Yes." Zhang Liu was very excited, turned around and left.

In the next half month, Xiao Zhen and her brothers began to work on the bullock cart.

And at the end of the month, another major event happened in the court, that is, the current prince was suddenly deposed, and it was announced that the prince was close to evil people, did not listen to benevolence and righteousness, and alienated gentlemen.

As for the real reason, Wu Yin and Zhao Jiezheng explained it vividly, and those who listened were enjoying it with relish.

"The prince is so brave, he even dares to touch his own father's woman." Xi Ya couldn't believe it as she cracked the melon seeds.

"It's really pitiful that he was caught red-handed."

"There are so many women in the world. What kind of woman does the prince want? He looks for the emperor's woman. Isn't this asking for death?"

Wu Yin nodded: "That is to say, the emperor was so angry that he vomited blood."

"At the same time, the Ninth Prince was released. Do you think there is any connection between these two events?"

Xiao Zhen, who was reading a book, glanced at the person who asked, it was Bei Mi. When he was thinking that Bei Mi's thoughts were delicate, he heard the other people, Gu Tong, Bai Xiang, Li Huai, Zhang Liu, and Wei Mu all say,

He looked down upon him.

"Isn't this nonsense? Anyone with a discerning eye can see it is related at a glance."

"Bei Mi, I think you have lived a comfortable life for too long. You can tell that the prince has been set up by such a small thing."

"When the emperor wakes up, he will know that the prince's plan has been abolished. Once the crown prince's position becomes vacant, it will be beneficial to all the princes. All the princes are suspected, except the ninth prince."

"So next, the Ninth Prince will definitely be found out to be unjust for what he did before, and then he will be released."

Listening to these words, Xiao Zhen couldn't read at all at this time, just because what she just analyzed in her mind coincided with what these brothers said. She didn't deliberately think about the prince at all. These thoughts were
Chapter completed!
