Chapter 158: Turning the tide against the wind

On the prince's side, once he found an opportunity to replace Minister Zhao, Xiao Jingshen became his only choice.

Xiao Jingshen didn't know what to think.

Everyone said that in their generation, only the eldest brother was successful in the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion.

Compared with the eldest brother, the other brothers seemed mediocre and lacked some talent.

If one day, he really became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who would dare to say that his eldest brother was the only promising person in their Yongjing Marquis's Mansion?

What Xiao Jingshen never expected was that the second person to succeed after his eldest brother would be himself.

Obviously, the second brother's talent was not inferior to his.

Xiao Jingzhan patted Xiao Jingshen on the shoulder:

"Don't think too much, Jingyu must have his own plans."

"One day, Jingyu will be like you, making great plans, and no longer burying his talents for the royal family."

Speaking of this situation, Xiao Jingzhan was also helpless.

None of the children of their Xiao family are bad.

But in order to prevent the royal family from being suspicious of the Marquis' Mansion and avoid bringing trouble to the Marquis' Mansion

, all the children of the Xiao family except him hid themselves, performing only better than ordinary people, but far inferior to him.

In fact, Xiao Jingzhan never thought that any of his many brothers would be worse than him.

These brothers just can't be as good as him.

So, it seems that Xiao Jingzhan is the one who works hard and supports the entire Yongjing Marquis' Mansion.

In fact, everyone in the Yongjing Marquis's Mansion has made great sacrifices for the stability of the mansion.

It can only be said that Xiao Jingshen was a little luckier. He met Zhu Xuntao, the "master", and was favored by the prince, and the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was reserved in advance.

Xiao Jingshen scratched his head:

"Brother, I can say that I don't have much thought about the Ministry of Revenue."

"Sister-in-law has many wonderful ideas and can always make many things I have never seen before. I think it is very interesting."

"Compared to being the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I would rather stay by my sister-in-law's side and learn from her."

"The last time those people came to the Marquis' Mansion to make a bed, I thought they were very serious."

Instead of fighting with a bunch of numbers, Xiao Jingshen prefers the kung fu with his hands and making some small things.

Zhu Xuntao had seen Xiao Jingshen observe for two or three days before, and he could do it by himself without being taught, and he could roll up the kang in his room.

At that moment, she felt that Xiao Jingshen was a technical person, and his ability to fight was not weak at all.

This was what Xiao Jingshen was really interested in.

This time, Xiao Jingzhan slapped Xiao Jingshen with a lot more force:

"Don't be so ungrateful after getting an advantage. If Jingyu heard what you just said, what would happen, don't you know?"

"..."

Xiao Jingshen looked at Xiao Jingzhan ingratiatingly:

"Brother, my martial arts can't compare with yours, nor with my second brother, so, brother, you can't bear to see your own brother get hurt, right?"

Compared with the previous time when he couldn't stand out, he now has the opportunity, and he still looks unhappy, which really deserves a beating.

Xiao Jingshen didn't want to exchange feelings with Xiao Jingyu in the arena, so he could only plead with Xiao Jingzhan.

"It depends on your performance."

Xiao Jingzhan didn't answer Xiao Jingshen directly, but he didn't refuse him either.

"Now, you also understand the prince's intention, so you should grasp it well."

"Don't let the prince down, and don't let Taotao down for your cultivation."

"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely work hard."

Xiao Jingshen became more serious. This opportunity was not easy to come by, and Xiao Jingshen knew it very well.

Without Zhu Xuntao, I'm afraid he would only be the third young master of Yongjing Marquis's Mansion and live a dull life.

Xiao Jingshen's hobby may be to make small inventions with Zhu Xuntao,

but this does not mean that Xiao Jingshen has no ambition and does not want to break out of a career and prove his ability.

"Well, you keep working hard. I'll go back to accompany your sister-in-law."

Taking the things Xiao Jingshen gave him, Xiao Jingzhan strode away.

Until he could no longer see Xiao Jingzhan's back, Xiao Jingshen said depressedly:

"Big brother still has brotherly love for me..."

It's just so pitiful!

The things that his big brother asked him to write were all learned from his big sister-in-law.

It's obviously more convenient to let his sister-in-law write directly, but the big brother chose to go to him and let him write.

Why?

Isn't it because he doesn't want to make his sister-in-law suffer, so he enslaves his own brother?

Thinking about Zhu Xuntao's behavior of pulling him to grab Zhuang Ding, Xiao Jingshen could only sigh:

If you are not from the same family, you will not enter the same door.

The big brother and sister-in-law are indeed people who sleep in the same bed.

"Are you back?"

In her last life, Zhu Xuntao died suddenly from overwork. In this life, Zhu Xuntao cherishes her life more.

There are so many accounts, it is impossible to settle them in one or two days.

When Xiao Jingzhan came back, Zhu Xuntao had asked Qiuyue to collect all the things, and it was time for her to rest.

"Yeah."

Seeing that Zhu Xuntao was done, Xiao Jingzhan handed the box that the prince had given him to Zhu Xuntao:

"This is what the prince asked me to pass on to you. It's time to make money."

"Yo!"

Zhu Xuntao, who was like a dead fish, jumped up and suddenly became energetic.

She opened the box and saw that it was full of banknotes, each of which was a large denomination of 10,000 taels.

Shit!

Zhu Xuntao was excited. She took the banknotes out of the box with shaking hands and counted them carefully one by one.

When she counted to thirty, her hands were shaking so much that she almost scattered the banknotes.

Zhu Xuntao quickly put the banknote back into the box, took a few deep breaths, and controlled her emotions.

In fact, the screen in Zhu Xuntao's mind was completely dominated by Ni Cao.

God knows, from the first day she was born, she felt that she was abandoned by the whole world and God.

Even if she had not yet awakened to the content of the original work, she never dared to hope that she could make a good living in this world with her identity as a time-traveling woman and live a life of being the heroine.

At that time, it was difficult for her to survive, and it was not easy to live.

Later, when life got better, she had a different understanding and idea of ​​the world,

and she decided to make some modern things and make some money in ancient times.

Who would have thought that it was just a piece of glass that she would spend several years’ worth of money on.

Every time she took out money, Qiuyue would feel depressed that she was throwing money into the water without even a splash.

To be honest, the glass alone was enough to devastate Zhu Xuntao. She

felt that her former self was simply terrible. Are modern things so easy to get?

She didn’t learn these things in college, and she didn’t even research them before she wore them.

To be honest…

she was so brave at that time, not afraid of wasting her time in the end.

Anyway, the failure of the glass over the years had shattered Zhu Xuntao’s confidence, and Zhu Xuntao had no choice but to give up.

Hey, Zhu Xuntao had accepted her fate, but at this moment, she turned the tide! !
