"That's right. The Li family has a master and a wife, two aunts, and two young masters, both of whom are married to young mistresses. The eldest mistress is the third lady married from the Zhou family, a prominent family in the city. Don't look at her as the eldest mistress, but she is Madam fell out of favor in front of Madam. If it wasn't for Eldest Young Master who loves Debao, I think Eldest Young Madam's position is very dangerous. But she has a good temperament and is kind to us. She even forgave Shuanghua, the maid who betrayed her. Second Young Mistress can't compare to her..." Mrs. Zhang shook her head, lamenting that Zhilan is a young lady from a wealthy family, and she has a different mind after all.

"What about the second young lady?" Fenghuang pretended not to know.

"The second young lady is the eldest young lady's cousin. We used to call her Jingru eldest lady, she is our wife's niece. I'm surprised that the two sisters are relatives, but they don't have a good relationship. Every time they meet, they talk with guns and sticks." Yes, it's not right when you are a girl. Madam prefers Jingru as the eldest lady, and it should be, after all, she is her niece, and acquaintances are more intimate."

Speaking of Zhou Jingru, Fenghuang also met her a few times, but it was a pleasant experience to hear from Mrs. Zhang's mouth, and she will meet Miss Jingru tomorrow.

"After talking so much, let's eat." Sister-in-law Zhang brought Fenghuang a bowl of rice, chatted with Fenghuang for a long time, and it was almost time for dinner.

"Why are there only you and me? Where's mother?" Zhou Muqing couldn't help asking when he saw that Qi Mei was the only one at the table.

Qi Mei smiled, took a bunch of keys and shook them in front of his eyes: "Mother is probably still angry with me."

Mu Qing wondered, "How did you get it?"

Qi Mei told the whole story, and she was quite proud of her conversation. Finally, she came over, bent down and hugged Mu Qing from behind, and whispered in his ear: "In this way, I can do my best to be your good wife. You don’t have to worry about your family anymore.”

Mu Qing paused for a moment with the hand holding the chopsticks, before saying, "Thank you."

"Are you unhappy?" Qi Mei didn't get her ideal answer, so she let go of his arm.

"Mother, what should she do with dinner?" Mu Qing avoided the topic.

"Don't worry, I sent someone upstairs, and I also sent someone to the hospital to send brother off." Qi Mei hugged him and kissed his forehead proactively.

"Okay, let's eat quickly, the weather is getting cold quickly, and cold dishes hurt your stomach." Mu Qing raised her head and smiled at her, signaling with chopsticks.

Qi Mei walked back to her seat contentedly.

Zhou Muqing got the key to the old man's study from Qi Mei.Sitting in front of this thick and huge rosewood desk, looking at the four wall bookcases, he remembered the situation when Zhilan was looking for books in the study.Now that he sits in this study, he feels an inexplicable sense of accomplishment in his heart. This is a pleasure of lifting the ban, a release from long-term suppression.

He stood up and looked out of the window with his hands behind his back. From the window, he could see part of the garden and the big black iron gate to the east. In the dark night, a few upright street lamps were installed at the gate, and the faint light of fireflies reflected the In Mu Qing's smiling eyes, he is finally the master of the Zhou mansion.

It's a pity that the hostess is not Zhilan.This is the secret wish in his heart, that one day he can lead Zhilan in an upright manner, and propose to her with the pearl ring in front of this house.

He sketched it in his mind.This gift from Qi Mei to him was both expected and unexpected by him, the young lady of the Qi family was as persistent as himself.Besides, she is intelligent and has a good family background to rely on. It is not difficult to get the housekeeper from the eldest wife, but he did not expect it to be so fast, which surprised him.

A day later, Jingru saw Phoenix.She inexplicably felt that she looked familiar, but couldn't remember it for a while.

"You are?" Jingru asked.

"My name is Fenghuang. My mother hopes that I can become famous like the golden phoenix..." Fenghuang recounted her fabricated miserable life experience.

Sister-in-law Zhang said good things to her and beat the side drums, Jingru stopped asking, and left Fenghuang as a helper in the kitchen.

When Qi Mei woke up, Mu Qing had already left to go to the firm.He must have worked for a long time last night, and she didn't know where he slept.

Her dowry maid Shun Xi felt sorry for Miss and said: "My uncle is too heartless, always making our lady sad. Miss really did so many things for him in vain."

"Shunxi, I did it voluntarily. Where did you come to complain so much? You are not allowed to tell my mother these words in the future, or I will not forgive you." Qi Mei said with a straight face, she had to work harder to win back her complete love. Zhou Muqing, the first thing is not to be resentful.

"I won't say any more, miss." Shunxi lowered her head.

Qi Mei tilted her head thinking, she believed the story of water dripping through stone.

Zhou Muqing stepped into the door of Wande Firm, and he has already thought about a few things to do today.

He went straight to Mr. Liu and tried to talk to him again.

"Manager Zhou, you have to deal with all kinds of affairs every day, why come to me when you have time?" Mr. Liu didn't even look at him.

Mu Qing ignored his teasing and mocking attitude, opened the document bag in his hand, took out a copy and put it in front of him and said, "What I told you yesterday, I hope you can agree to sign this document."

"No. I said it yesterday. Lao Zhou is still in the hospital. He won't agree with your radical approach. I'm just expressing my opinion on his behalf." Mr. Liu shook his head.

Zhou Muqing sat down on the chair beside his table and said, "In that case, I can only ask Mr. Liu to leave the firm."

"What right do you have to drive me away! I am also one of the founders of Wande Trading Company, and I have invested a lot of money in the company. Old Zhou has no right to drive me away! Zhou Muqing, what are you doing, a brat, Don’t think that you’ve just sat on the manager’s position for a few days and you’re going to tear down bridges…” Mr. Liu said angrily, slapped the table and stood up.

Zhou Muqing stopped his words, and if he didn't stop, he would probably swear any ugly words.He took out an account book and spread it out in front of Mr. Liu: "This book records how much you have invested in Wande Commercial Bank. I can calculate it for you with interest, but you must take it with you after you have calculated it. Once the money leaves, you are no longer a shareholder of Wande Commercial Bank."

As he said that, he asked his assistant Xiao Zhao to bring the accountant, and immediately asked him to calculate the investment fund. It was indeed a large amount of silver.

Mr. Liu listened to the crackling of the abacus. He had experienced Mu Qing's methods at the shareholder meeting that day, and he knew that he was never a person who just talked but didn't act.

Zhou Muqing stared at the accountant's calculation, and after sitting for a long time, he changed his sitting position, with no expression on his face, and patiently waited for the accountant to finish the calculation.

Finally the calculation was done, the accountant showed the abacus to Mu Qing, and wrote a number on the paper.

Mr. Liu said angrily: "What is this? Why do you forcibly withdraw my investment?"

"Because you have hindered the development of Wande Commercial Bank. If you don't leave, I can't manage it." Mu Qing's voice was emotionless, but it hit the nail on the head, "Mr. Liu, I respect your contribution to Wande Commercial Bank. It will make you suffer, I will not pay you this money at the bank's interest rate, I plan to pay you at the highest interest rate of several banks in this city, I suggest you accept it as soon as you see it, otherwise it will be meaningless for us to turn against each other."

As he said that, he asked the accountant to pick up the check from the Bank of China, and personally saw that the accountant filled in the numbers and stamped it, and handed it to Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu knew that the situation was over, so he had no choice but to pick it up, packed his things and left.

The old man was still lying in the hospital and was sick. When Lao Liu came to visit him, he babbled a bit, and finally left with tears.

"Father, I didn't expect the younger brother to kill the donkey, and even the heroes like Mr. Liu who worked hard for the saddle horse of Wande Trading Company would be dismissed. It's really chilling. Dad, you need to get better soon, Wande still needs to be in charge of you." No." After Old Liu left, Yuehua sighed while wiping the old man.

The old man didn't know if he heard it, but suddenly shed a tear.

A few days ago Li Shaowen received a letter saying that Senior Brother Tan came from Shanghai, and today he just hosted a banquet for Senior Brother Tan at Ji Siniang's teahouse.

"I have to congratulate Brother Tan first, you have been transferred to the Statistics Department of Mu Province, and you have been promoted to another level!" Li Shaowen asked someone to fetch the best wine, and poured a cup for Senior Brother Tan himself.

"It's just a small secretary. It's not worth mentioning. Teacher Qi misses you very much. This time he knew that I came to Jiangcheng and asked me to say hello on his behalf. He kept saying that among the few proud students, you returned to Jiangcheng to do business. If You were in Shanghai like me back then, with your intelligence and ability, if you stay and serve the country, you will be able to do a great job." Brother Tan gulped it down.

"I can't think about it either. The family always depends on me." Li Shaowen drank another cup, "I didn't have time to visit him last time when I went to Shanghai. Next time I go, I will make a special visit."

"You should go." Brother Tan smiled, "There are rumors of the three major families in Jiangcheng in Shanghai, and your business is booming!"

"Well, it's just enough. The name doesn't match the reality, the name doesn't match the reality." Li Shaowen talked about business, thinking of Zhou Muqing's momentum, he couldn't help shaking his head.

"You don't know yet, the situation is about to change. There have been rumors that the government is planning to set up a military unit called the Military Bureau, which may assist the garrison headquarters in various places. It is estimated that garrison officials from all over the country will be called to the capital for a meeting in a few days." Brother Tan leaned closer to Li Shaowen's ear, "This is a top secret, I wouldn't reveal it if I wasn't my brother."

"What kind of organization is the Military Bureau?" Li Shaowen frowned.

"Hey, it's for special missions. It's specially reorganized just for maneuvering." Senior Brother Tan lowered his voice.

"Oh...you are still well informed." Li Shaowen lamented that his information was lagging behind, and it was time to meet the teacher.

"Master, the dishes are ready." Ji Siniang personally brought the maids to serve the dishes today, "You two honorable guests, please take your time."

"What's the point of us eating dry, why don't you ask Si Niang to arrange something for us?" Li Shaowen knew that senior brother Tan likes to be lively, so he called Si Niang to order.

"Yes."

"Hey, besides the quiet environment, what else is there?" Senior Brother Tan really became interested.

Li Shaowen smiled without saying a word, with a mysterious look on his face.
