The wife of the power minister's family

Xiao Yi looked at her with a bit of questioning in his eyes and said, "Yes, but what are you busy with during that time?"

After the new year, they really have a lot of things to do.

And Ah Jing may be even busier than them, because she needs to rapidly expand her Xinglin Hall in a short period of time to gain the qualification to compete with Guangming Hall.

Xu Jing was just silent.

It was also February when the original owner originally designed Xiao Yi.

She felt strange from the beginning. Although the original owner was extremely careful and cautious when making the plan, using almost all her brain cells, a man who could thrive in the military camp or in the court could not How could it be so easy to be set up by a boudoir woman?

It turns out that the original owner made a mistake and chose the time when Xiao Yi's mother passed away to implement her plan. Xiao Huaian once said that my father would always be in a bad mood for a period of time every year and would stay alone in the yard. Drinking, I think Xiao Yi was already in a daze at that time, so he stepped into the trap of the original owner.

It's just these words that Xu Jing can't tell Xiao Yi. That incident is not a good memory for Xiao Yi, and it is also the biggest dark history of the original owner. For Xu Jing who now occupies the original owner's body , it’s better to pretend to be stupid.

She coughed softly and said, "It's nothing. Although I have a lot of things to be busy with after the new year, paying homage to your mother is the first priority."

Xu Jing's words obviously touched Xiao Yi's heart. He smiled lightly and said, "Mother will be very happy to see you."

With such a good daughter-in-law like A Jing, he couldn't imagine how much his mother would like A Jing if she were still alive.

But people can't be too greedy. Now that he has Ah Jing and a long smile, he is very complete.

He fears that if he is not satisfied, God will take away everything he has now.

Although this is Xu Jing's first New Year in this world, with the company of her family and friends, this New Year is indescribably comfortable, and even more fulfilling than the New Year she spent in the previous world.

After all, she was alone before, and she couldn't imagine that one day her surroundings would become so lively.

Xu Jing waited until after the Lantern Festival before finding time to go to Zhou's house and tell her about her plan to compete with Guangmingtang.

She was worried that if she said it too early, the Zhou family would be so excited that they would not be able to live well for years.

Sure enough, as soon as she said this, Zhou Qizheng suddenly paused in picking up the tea cup and looked at her with an unprecedented dull expression. He didn't react for a long time and was obviously frightened.

Zhou Xian on the side suddenly widened his eyes and said in a voiceless voice: "Ms. Xu, you, are you not thinking clearly after the Chinese New Year?!"

The person who had warned them time and again before that they should never face Guangmingtang was clearly Mrs. Xu!

Zhou Xian has matured a lot since he started to learn how to work with the manager of Xijing branch of Tianyi Pavilion. However, at some extraordinary times, he still can't help but reveal his less calm side.

Just like now.

The corner of Xu Jing's mouth twitched slightly, and she said angrily: "Does Friday Lang always talk to the patients who come to Tianyi Pavilion like this on weekdays?"

"How can it be!"

Zhou Xian jumped up immediately. After realizing that the woman in front of him was thinking clearly as before, he opened his mouth and said with disbelief: "Could it be that what you said is true?" "I'm full." I'm too embarrassed to joke with you about this."

Xu Jing said helplessly: "I know clearly that you and the Lin family have sworn hatred, but if you still talk nonsense about this, am I still a human being?"

"But, but..."

Zhou Xian didn't know how to react. He stammered: "Didn't you say that we don't have the ability to compete with Guangmingtang? You also said that this is asking for your own destruction..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden "click" of a tea cup falling on the table, and Zhou Qi's steady voice said, "Mrs. Xu, can you tell me the reason for your sudden change of mind?"

Zhou Xian was stunned and couldn't help but look at his brother with great admiration.

As expected of my brother, he could still be so calm after hearing such shocking news!

It's not like him, he almost can't remember his last name...

However, as soon as his eyes glanced at Zhou Qi, he was slightly startled.

But he saw that his brother's right hand placed on the table was clearly trembling slightly! Brother, this is not calm at all, it is clearly just because of the habit formed over the years, and he suppresses his emotions immediately!

Xu Jing understood Zhou Qi's mood, looked at him and said: "I need the Zhou family's help next, so I will tell the general situation to the Zhou family. But... it also involves some things that cannot be discussed with the Zhou family. , I hope Master Zhou can forgive me."

How could Zhou Qi not understand?

He knew that Madam Xu was now registered with the Holy Emperor, and had been helping the government to do things. It was normal to have some things that were inconvenient to tell them.

What's more, Madam Xu didn't want them to compete with Guangmingtang because she knew that the backer behind Guangmingtang was the Jiang family. Even after she remarried Xiao Shilang, she never changed her mind.

Zhou Qi knew that she did not want to rely on the Xiao family's power, let alone let the Xiao family be involved in this matter. Although he felt very sorry, he was also willing to respect himself as a partner.

She suddenly changed her mind now. The only possibility is that the Xiao family or other forces that can compete with the Jiang family will get involved in this matter.

Those forces would not do this for no reason. Perhaps the reason why they did this was because it was not convenient for Madam Xu to tell them.

But it doesn't matter, no matter what the reason is, as long as it can make those villains of the Lin family stop being so complacent and avenge them for killing their father, they can do anything they want!

When Zhuge Kongming borrowed the east wind, he never asked where it came from. Since the east wind is coming, they can just catch it!

Xu Jing had never worried that Zhou Qi would be an unreasonable person. When she saw him, she nodded immediately to show that he didn't mind. She smiled and realized that Xiao Yi and Prince Zhao realized that the reason why the Jiang family supported Guangmingtang was probably not as pure as it seemed. Guangmingtang cannot be allowed to obtain the important qualification of supplying medicine to the army.

Because this involves a fight in the court, Xu Jing thought for a while and said: "The Zhou family can rest assured. Although it is not convenient for me to tell you some things clearly, I can guarantee that this matter will never involve the Zhou family. , I will not let the Zhou family suffer any losses because of our affairs. Moreover, after discussing with my husband, I decided to use my Xinglin Hall to compete with Guangmingtang. When the time comes, Tianyi Hall will serve as an auxiliary to our Xinglin Hall. I don’t know. Will Mr. Zhou mind this?"

Zhou Qi immediately nodded and said: "Of course I don't mind, how could I mind. I have cooperated with Madam Xu for so long, don't I still believe in Madam Xu's character? As long as we can get revenge, if our Zhou family personally overthrows the Lin family, What does it matter?"

The reason why Madam Xu asked their Tianyi Pavilion to serve as an assistant was to protect their Tianyi Pavilion.

After a pause, he said: "However, Mrs. Xu's Xinglin Hall is too small. Even with the help of our Tianyi Hall, the main competition is Xinglin Hall. Today's Xinglin Hall cannot compete with Guangming Hall." , Madam Xu, do you have other ideas?"
