The wife of the power minister's family

Xu Jing looked stunned.

Yes, it's just a fake remarriage, and it's really nothing to worry about.

At this moment, Xianyun walked over with a smile on his face. Seeing the "harmonious and warm" scene between his husband and Madam Xu, he was so excited that his uncle laughed. If Madam Xu hadn't discovered him very quickly, He didn't even want to walk past its presence.

He slowly moved in front of Madam Xu, saluted and said: "Madam Xu, the room has been tidied up. Do you want to drink tea for a while, or go over now?"

Xu Jing immediately put down the tea cup in her hand and said, "Let's go over now."

Xianyun immediately regretted that he had not made up a reason, such as saying that the bed in the room collapsed or the floor sank or something, so that Madam Xu and Lang Jun could stay for a while. He sighed secretly and said, "I will take you with me right now." past."

It wasn't until Xu Jing and Xianyun left for a long time that Xiao Yi slowly raised his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed softly.

Sure enough, he still drank too much. What was he talking about just now?

The next day, when Xu Jing woke up, Xiao Yi had already gone to the morning court.

In ancient times, officials went to court earlier than people who went to the market. They had to get up before dawn and had to wait in line outside the palace gate for a long time, which was annoying to hear.

Knowing that this man was not at home, Xu Jing breathed a sigh of relief. After finishing her breakfast, she took Xiao Huaian and left.

Chen Hu and Cheng Xianbai were naturally wondering why Xu Jing was not at home last night. If the guards at home had not ensured that Xu Jing was safe, they would have rushed to the Xijing government office to report the crime.

Xu Jing didn't explain much, and simply said that she went to visit a friend in Xijing last night. Chen Hu and Cheng Xianbai looked at each other, knowing that Xu Jing didn't want to say more, and didn't ask further questions.

Madam Xu has always been very mysterious in their hearts. They know almost nothing about what happened before Madam Xu came to Anping County. They only know that she lived in Anping County because of family changes, but who has a past that they are unwilling to tell. ?As long as Madam Xu comes back safely, that will be all.

Cheng Xianbai quickly put the matter aside and got down to business, "Mrs. Xu, I found out what you asked me to inquire about yesterday. The head of the Tianyi Pavilion, Mr. Zhou, was indeed in Xijing during this period!"

Xu Jing curled her lips and said, "As expected."

When she investigated Zheng Shouyan's case earlier, she knew that Mr. Zhou of Tianyi Pavilion had always wanted to restore the glory of Tianyi Pavilion. The first thing he wanted to do was to reopen the semicolon in Xijing. To this end, he almost every day I will go to Xijing every month to check the situation.

The reason why the Lin family of Guangmingtang can suppress them so unscrupulously is because they bully them because they have a shallow foundation and are too weak.

When your own strength is not enough, the best and most effective way is to win over a strong ally!

However, cooperation is a matter of mutual benefit, so the choice of allies cannot be arbitrary.

First of all, you must ensure that this ally is reliable and moral, and will not turn around and stab you at a critical moment.When Xu Jing was in Anping County, she asked Cheng Xianbai to inquire about the working styles of the three major medical clinics and the evaluations of their partners. The conclusion he came to was that the Zhou family of Tianyi Hall was one of several medical clinics in Anping County. Among the families that opened medical clinics, they were the most upholding of ethics and medical ethics. Those who had worked with them would hardly say anything bad about them, even if they did not praise them full of praise.

The second is that they cannot find partners who are much stronger than them, or who have no need for them.The premise of cooperation is that several forces have things that cannot be accomplished by their own abilities alone and require the help of others. Only on this premise can a stable and reliable cooperative relationship be formed.Blindly sucking blood or supporting is not called cooperation, it is called poverty alleviation, and there is no equality in status.

At this time, their own strength had been severely weakened a few years ago, and now Tianyi Pavilion, which was focused on recreating the glory of the past, was undoubtedly their best partner.

Xu Jing immediately agreed: "I will write a greeting note later, please find a way to deliver it to Master Zhou."

Cheng Xianbai was a little hesitant, "Mrs. Xu, do you think the Zhou family is really willing to cooperate with us? Even if the strength and scale of Tianyi Pavilion are much worse than a few years ago, we at Xinglin Hall can't even catch up."

"Don't worry, they will be willing. Even if they are not willing, I can still make them willing."

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows and said, "Besides, Mr. Zhou has shown kindness to me before. I think he also had the idea of ​​coming to us. No matter what he wants to do, he can just talk face to face."

The Zhou family has their own mansion in Xijing. It was not difficult for Cheng Xianbai to send the post there. However, what surprised him was that as soon as he submitted the post, the housekeeper of the Zhou family in Xijing came out in person. Receive him with courtesy.

It wasn't until the sun was about to set in the afternoon that Cheng Xianbai came back. He walked quickly to Xu Jing and said with admiration: "Ms. Xu, you guessed it again! Guess what, I just handed over the greeting card. The steward of the Zhou family immediately came out and kept me, and also hurriedly sent someone to bring Master Zhou back. When Master Zhou saw me alone, he seemed a little disappointed, but he is worthy of being the master, with his bearing and conduct. The style is simply hard to fault!

He invited us to have lunch at Wangyue Tower in Xijing at noon tomorrow, and specifically said that he hoped Madam Xu would come over in person. "

During the chat, Cheng Xianbai was surprised to find that Mr. Zhou even knew what they were doing in Xijing!Only those who have close contact with their Xinglin Hall know that!No one believed him if he said he wasn't paying close attention to the activities of their Xinglin Hall!

I'm afraid that just like Madam Xu said, the head of the house had already planned to come to them this week.

However, Cheng Xianbai still couldn't figure out why the Zhou family was eyeing their little Xinglin Hall?Although Madam Xu is very powerful, it stands to reason that Tianyi Pavilion is not short of powerful doctors!
He told Xu Jing his doubts, and Xu Jing just narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a smile: "What's the rush? We'll know tomorrow?"

There are countless famous restaurants in Xijing, and Wangyuelou is one of them famous for its Jiangnan cuisine. It has always hosted dignitaries.

Xu Jing and others went to Wangyue Tower on time the next day. Zhou Qi had opened a box and was waiting for them. After the store clerk took them to the box, Xu Jing discovered that Zhou Qi did not come alone. There is another person who looks very familiar - Zhou Xian, the Goro of the Zhou family who came to Xinglin Hall to cause trouble!

But I saw him wearing flamboyant royal blue brocade clothes, sitting next to the gentle and elegant Zhou Qi with a rebellious expression. His face was so smelly, as if everyone here owed him 10 taels of silver, and his head was very childish. The ground fell to the side, with the word "unpleasant" written all over his body.

At first glance, it seemed that Zhou Qi had dragged him here.

Xu Jing's lips twitched slightly. She had not expected Zhou Xian's appearance at all, and she could not figure out why Zhou Qi asked him to come over.

Cheng Xianbai also remained silent, his fists on both sides clenched quietly.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, but when he saw such a dead child, he wanted to punch him.

Hearing the sound of opening the door, Zhou Xian finally moved his noble head. When he saw Xu Jing walking in, his eyes suddenly widened and he stood up suddenly and said: "Ah! You are not the one from Xinglin Hall Bastard woman?!”
