Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Chapter 99 What's the trouble?

Back in the mansion, Kou Xiao and Li Xu entered the gates on both sides respectively, the same Kou mansion is really about to be divided into two now.

Before Kou Xiao had time to go back to his room to wash up, he was called by the elders. He walked into the hall full of energy. He was dressed in a crimson brocade suit, which made the elders so shocked that he forgot to say anything. They had never seen Kou Xiao wearing it. It's so grand, I haven't dressed like this during Chinese New Year.

"Greetings to grandpa and grandma, my son, and mother." Kou Xiao greeted, and asked his subordinates to bring the presents brought back all the way. This is what he learned from Li Xu. Every time he went to a place, Li Xu would buy some local specialties, saying It is to take it back and give it away.

Kou Xiao followed suit and bought a lot, but he couldn't think of anyone to give it to other than his brothers in the army, so he took them home.

Everyone was surprised again, Madam Kou asked with a smile: "Xiao'er is really well dressed today, it seems that this business trip is quite pleasant."

Compared to the past when he had to go to the battlefield every now and then, this trip was indeed a good one, Kou Xiao sat down beside him, drank two bowls of tea, and said: "Your King Shun went to inspect the coast, he walked slowly, and he really wasn't tired. "

Mr. Kou and Mrs. Kou looked at each other, and then the latter squeezed out a smile and said, "Xiao'er, look, King Shun has lived in Kou's mansion for a few months, did you say when he will move?"

"The palace hasn't started construction yet, so I'm afraid we won't be able to move it for a year or so." Kou Xiao now understands that Li Xu wanted to live with Kou's family from the very beginning. This person looks modest on the outside, but in fact he is no different from a bandit. At the beginning, I was eager to give Xiyuan away, but now it is difficult to get it back.

But this must not be said to the elders, this house is their lifeblood.

"Well, then when will you pick up your sisters and your aunts? It's not appropriate to live in the nunnery for a long time." The girls were doing needlework and playing leaf cards together, and now there are only a few radish heads left in the house, which is very deserted.

Kou Xiao thought about it, now that the wall has been built and the door has been demolished, he thought nothing would happen, so he asked the housekeeper to send a car to pick up the family members, but he still specially told everyone: "Where is Xiyuan?" By the way, without my consent, no one is allowed to disturb, no matter it is big or small, once King Shun is offended, don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

Master Kou snorted coldly, but didn't say anything. The old lady only said that Wang Jingui was a man, but after all, he was a man. The girls in the family were all locked in the inner house, so they couldn't see it even if they wanted to.

Mrs. Kou stared at her newly painted nails, and suddenly said, "Your eleventh sister, I heard that she has a good time with the little princess, and she goes to Xiyuan every day, so why don't you restrain yourself?"

Kou Xiao looked at her in surprise, his mother never cared about the affairs of the concubines and sisters at home, why did she suddenly bring it up today?

"Since they are the companions chosen by the little princess, let them play together." Kou Xiao recalled the rumors he heard on the road, saying that Li Xu had made a written statement that everything in Shun Palace would belong to the little princess in the future, and now it is so At a young age, there is a wife who goes to class every day, and there is nothing wrong with having the younger sister at home to accompany her.

Mrs. Kou gave him a sideways look, and said flatly: "Your eleventh sister is very active, so don't bump into the little princess. I heard that King Shun attaches great importance to this little princess. matter, who is responsible?"

The old lady is not happy anymore. This eleventh girl is the daughter of her niece. If Mrs. Kou hadn't stepped in earlier, her niece would not have become a concubine. He retorted: "Children play together, so why worry so much, besides, King Shun is now a prince, and according to the regulations, the little princess should also be reduced to princess, and my girl from the Kou family will lose her status if she plays with her? "

Mrs. Kou sighed, "Who makes me just a concubine?"

"That's enough!" Master Kou didn't bother to listen to the two men's fights, he got up and said, "Let's leave if you have nothing to do, and ask the kitchen to cook some delicious food, and we will get together tonight."

At this moment, the girl Kou Shishi ran in in a hurry, and shouted with a smile: "Grandmother, grandma, look what I brought back." As soon as she entered the door, she saw the cold-faced Mrs. Kou sitting peacefully, and the terrible His elder brother was also sitting at the side, and suddenly frightened his steps, put his hands behind his back, and quietly came up to salute.

The old lady carried her over and asked softly, "Little girl, show grandma what you brought back."

With a firm embrace, the little girl didn't hesitate anymore, and stretched out her little hand, holding a delicate conch shell and a string of pearl bracelets inside.

Mrs. Kou glanced at it, with a smile on her lips, "Oh, I thought it was a good thing, but it was just an ordinary thing."

Kou Xiao took a few extra glances by accident. He remembered these two items, and they were chosen by Li Xu as gifts for his daughter. These items are not new to people in South Vietnam, but they are still very popular in the Northland, especially the one in the conch. He also built an exquisite house with wood shavings, with mountains and rivers, it is very exquisite, because of this, Li Xu brought the carpenter back, saying that he would be a senior engineer in the future.

Kou Xiao didn't know what a high-level engineer was, but he must be a highly valued person, so he bought a lot of them back.

"Hey, I look pretty, who gave it to you?"

The eleventh girl turned her head and looked at Kou Xiao timidly. The two were really unfamiliar, and they didn't see each other very often. She stammered and replied, "Yes...it was given to the little princess by the prince, and the little princess gave it to me."

The old lady burst into laughter, "It can be seen that the little princess likes our Eleven Niangs."

"King Shun sent a big box of presents. There are everything in it. The little princess asked us to pick any two."

A group of grown-ups can only "hehe", look at the father of others, and look at the elder brother in front of them, they are so angry.

"It is said that the prince and concubine are extremely loving. I think it is true. In the future, when the prince and concubine give birth to a son, I don't know how he will be pampered." The old lady is still thinking about the position of Princess Shun. What a nice person.

"Xiao'er, you have to think about the Kou family. This King Shun is capable of great things. I don't know how to be noble in the future. If you don't think about yourself, think about the Kou family. There is a princess Shun from the Kou family. Okay? Give birth to a son with the blood of the Kou family, and it will be easier for you in the future."

Kou Xiao is the most unwilling to hear this. It's fine for Li Xu to marry someone else's daughter. After becoming the son-in-law of the Kou family, he can't bear it if he doesn't look up and down. "I still have a quarter of the king of Qi on me As for Yi's bloodline, don't worry about your seniority, King Shun is so focused on his career now that he doesn't care about his backyard."

"That's why we need to get married as soon as possible, otherwise who will teach the little princess that a motherless girl will be discriminated against when she gets married in the future."

Kou Xiao thought about King Shun's family property, and sneered: "Don't worry, there will be many people who want to marry."

******

When Li Xu arrived home, the little princess was playing with a few friends in mud. Ji Hanyu, a big man, also played with him. He even built a large palace with mud, which looked very impressive.

"This king only knows that Mr. Ji has a childlike innocence, and he is ingenious."

Ji Hanyu blushed a little, this kind of fun was not on the table, but he taught girls under ten years old, and they had easy schoolwork on weekdays, so he followed them to play.

I thought that King Shun would reprimand him, but in the end he praised him for being a good teacher, and he also raised his monthly payment from five taels to ten taels.

Ji Hanyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he only raised his monthly money last month, did King Shun forget it?

"I haven't forgotten, you are holding multiple jobs now, and you have to teach many students." Li Xu first revealed to him: "In the future, you will teach the little princess in the morning, teach craftsmen how to read in the afternoon, and go to the military camp to teach in the evening. You are busy."

Ji Hanyu was stunned, "Are you expecting me to teach everyone alone?"

Li Xu also felt that the teaching staff was too weak, "Then let's see if we can recruit a master this time. Don't expect Master Youji to be so knowledgeable and talented, just be able to teach people how to read." After finishing speaking, he also dismissed Wu Jin from Ji Hanyu pulled over, saying that he wanted to be his little follower for a while.

"Where's Manager Xiao Liu?" Ji Hanyu was reluctant to let him go. Wu Jin had studied with him for more than half a year and had just made progress.

"I went to work for the king, and I'm afraid it will take a year and a half to come back. Wu Jin, the king, will take it to practice, it will be more useful than studying."

What else can Ji Hanyu say, of course the boss can do whatever he wants.

Wu Jin was stunned for a quarter of an hour when he heard the news. Is he going to ascend to the sky in one step?The prince's close servant, how capable is he to be able to do this? Is he really capable of being a brat?

Ji Hanyu was furious, "You are not young anymore, Mr. Liu is not a few years older than you, and you haven't studied yet, how can you be no better than a eunuch?" Ji Hanyu originally wanted to say eunuch, but Liu Shu was quite Lovely, it's not the first-rate eunuch he hates, so he just stays in Germany.

Wu Jin said with a bitter face: "Mr. Liu has been serving the prince since he was a child. Even the emperor has seen it. His vision is high. I'm afraid of embarrassing the prince."

Ji Hanyu encouraged: "Just remind yourself several times a day that the prince is the highest authority in South Vietnam, and you are doing things for him. No matter who you meet or what you do, you can be justified. As long as you are brave, there is no difficulty." .”

That night, Li Xu was about to come to the list of applicants for this time. He deliberately stayed for a month because he was afraid that people from far away would not be able to arrive. Seeing that the city was overcrowded today, he wanted to come and the results were gratifying, but when he got the list, he had a look , there are only more than 1000 people, what's the trouble?

Lei Yang left Nanyue with brown sugar on the second day after he left, saying that he was going to Yangzhou Mansion to open up the market, but Li Xu guessed that he was doing it to avoid the disaster of Lei's family and avoid embarrassment.He also took his eldest son with him this time, leaving the other two sons to deal with recruitment matters.

Li Xu has a good impression of his youngest son, who is quick-witted and diligent, while the second child is a bit introverted, talks less, but is calm and reliable. The two of them handle things beautifully, even Li Xu has to obey Lei Yang , will really have a son.
