Chapter 29 Assassination
Mr. Xiao was startled at first, then he smiled happily.
Xiao Hu and Xiao Bao were also very surprised. They were allowed to choose from the six ministries in the court?
Xiao Lezi, who was standing by, scratched his nose. It was the first time he saw someone taking it for granted to open a back door to his 'wife's' family.
Aren't you afraid that once it's sent to the Six Ministries, it might be exposed accidentally?
The whole family was extremely happy. They felt that this son-in-law was worth finding. Not only was he good to his daughter, but he was also good to his family.
But Master Xiao laughed and refused. "Thank you for your kindness, my dear son-in-law, but forget about the six ministries of the imperial court. I know my two sons, and they don't have the heart to become officials."
Xiao Hu and Xiao Bao just smiled when they heard that. His father was right. They were just the right material for each other.
“Father-in-law, don’t worry. Since this king has arranged it, it will be perfect.
Master Xiao waved his hand and said, "No, actually I don't want them to get involved in the court."
"What does father-in-law mean?"
"Alas, Your Highness must have noticed that the imperial court has declined significantly over the past two years. Disasters have frequently struck various regions, yet the officials in the court have lost interest in politics and military operations. Instead, they spend their days vying for power and fawning over their superiors. The Great Zhao has been declining for the past two years."
Xiao Lezi was surprised that Mr. Xiao, who was afraid of his wife, had such a clear vision. It was rare!
Ning Cuo smiled when he heard this, "In that case, father-in-law can think about other things, and I will do my best."
Master Xiao laughed happily, "Your Highness is too polite."
As he said this, he looked at his daughter with relief.
Mrs. Xiao was also smiling happily, as she liked her son-in-law more and more.
Xiao Tu was still chewing his pork elbow, his ears not idle either. After listening to this conversation, he swallowed a mouthful of the fragrant fat and said, "Dad, if you want to find a profitable business for your brother, just come to me."
"Looking for you?"
Everyone at the small table looked over when they heard this.
Xiaotu waved her hand and said, "Yes, don't look at me, your daughter, who eats, drinks and has fun all day long. But I have a lot of money-making businesses in my head."
I remember that she was practicing hard in the mountains and was so hungry that she had no food to eat. At that time, she also thought she couldn't hold on.
So I grabbed this broken phone and searched for a lot of little secrets to make money!
Madam Xiao picked up the handkerchief and wiped her daughter's little paws that wanted to point fingers at Jiangshan, saying with disdain, "You know all this, how come I don't know it?"
"Mom, even though we are mother and daughter, I still have to have my own private secrets."
Madam Xiao was amused and said, "Okay, secret, secret."
Xiao Tu smiled and looked at the men at the table, "How about it, Dad? Do you want to hear my method?"
Mr. Xiao smiled and asked, "Do you really understand this?"
"That's right. From finance and real estate investment to small stalls and workshops, I know a lot. I even understand that salt thing you just mentioned."
Mr. Xiao laughed and said, "What are you talking about? Financial real estate investment, little girl, eat quickly and don't make trouble."
Everyone laughed too, except Ning Cuo, who raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you know how to sell salt?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tu immediately gave him an admiring look, saying, "You're a real connoisseur," and continued, "Nowadays, the salt trade is collected by the government, transported by merchants, and sold by merchants. Is that right?"
"yes."
"Then why don't we make our own salt and sell it ourselves?"
"You need to pay taxes." Ning Cuo looked at her with dark eyes, "Can you make salt?"
Xiao Tu smiled and shook her little finger at him. "It's not that I can, it's that I'm too good at it. I can say ten of them in one breath without taking a breath. Of course, there are not many that can be used in our time, so we have to choose the simplest and most labor-saving one."
As she spoke, she raised her eyebrows at the man, looking like a proud young lady who would never tell you unless you asked her.
Ning Cuo smiled and pulled her into his arms, saying in a very gentle tone, "Madam, please teach me."
Seeing this, everyone smiled and turned their heads away.
Xiao Tu felt a little embarrassed for once. This guy seemed to be addicted to pretending.
She coughed and continued, "I won't go into detail about the principle. The method I'm talking about for making salt is to first find a large ocean, and then..."
She explained the most primitive way of making salt. Although it could only produce crude salt, the method was simple, fast and efficient enough.
Ning Cuo raised his eyebrows after hearing this, "That's all."
Xiaotu nodded, "Yeah, I said it's the simplest and most convenient."
After she finished speaking, she saw that everyone was just laughing and teasing her, obviously not taking her words seriously. Only Ning Cuo frowned and thought for a while.
Xiao Tu curled her red lips. She was originally speaking to this man. Salt transportation was a big deal, and their family didn't have the ability to get involved.
And she needs him to take advantage of this favor so that the other party will naturally protect her family!
Xiao Tu turned her gaze towards her parents, "Mom and Dad, your expressions tell me that you don't believe me?"
She said this with a pout.
Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao smiled at each other and said in a coaxing tone, "How could it be? Our little rabbit is so smart, everything he says is right. Tell your father to do as you say."
Mr. Xiao immediately patted his chest and said, "Yes, leave it to me."
Xiao Tucai snorted in disbelief and turned to his two brothers, "Brothers, come here, I will teach you how to make a lot of money."
Upon hearing this, the two brothers hurried over, and then the three of them whispered to each other for a long time.
Xiao Hu and Xiao Bao are crazy about doting on their sister. They listen to everything their sister says and do whatever she asks them to do.
We ate, drank and chatted, and the afternoon slipped away quietly.
When Xiao Tu left, the Xiao family was naturally reluctant to let her go. Mrs. Xiao even took her daughter aside and whispered a lot to her.
Half of them were saying that the prince was a good person and asked her to treat others well and not bully them all the time. Xiao Tu wanted to laugh when she heard that.
As the sun sets, a conspicuous and spacious imperial carriage slowly drives on the bluestone-paved road.
Inside the car, luxurious furs were laid out as carpets, there was a chessboard, fresh flowers, and exquisite snacks on the white jade table, and there was also a small rosewood stove bubbling with steam.
Not far from the table, there was an elegant and fragrant couch, green as the color of misty rain. Sitting there was a woman dressed in rich and delicate clothes. She was like a little squirrel, nibbling on the flower cake in her hand. Although she was sitting, her posture was extremely lazy. Under the hem of her skirt, her pair of naked feet were swaying leisurely.
Behind the woman, there was a tall and slender man leaning against the side of his body. He supported his face with one hand. His enchanting face was beautiful and charming, his gorgeous black hair tilted half in front of him, and he looked nonchalant.
Suddenly, the stable car stopped suddenly. Xiaotu, who was chewing a pancake, looked out in surprise, "What happened?"
Ning Cuo slowly opened her narrow and beautiful eyes, and said casually with her scarlet lips, "There are a few ants blocking the road, don't worry about them."
Xiao Tu understood immediately, "Someone is trying to assassinate you again?"
As he was speaking, the sound of swords and spears fighting could be heard outside.
Xiao Tu lifted the gauze curtain and looked outside, and saw that the secret guards following the man were already fighting with a group of masked men.
