Li Ze lowered his head and drank millet porridge, always feeling that his mother's eyes on the other side were sweeping over him, so some bosses raised their heads uncomfortably, looked at their mother and asked, "Mother, the millet porridge is boiling well today, why don't you eat it while it's hot?" ”

The corners of Mrs. Wang's mouth twitched slightly, she really didn't know much about her son before, but since that time, the communication between the two has been more and more day by day, and she has a deep understanding of Li Ze's kung fu. Quietly and without a trace to change the topic and turn people on the detour, Li Ze is the best at it.

Scooping up a mouthful of porridge and eating it slowly, her eyes still fell on Li Ze, and Mrs. Wang said slowly: "Before the new housemother enters the door, she can't have a child." ”

Ah sneeze, Li Ze sneezed loudly, a few millet grains went the wrong way, squirted out of the nasal cavity, and couldn't help but cry for a while, Xia Zhu on the side couldn't help laughing, and quickly twisted the towel and sent it over.

Li Ze wiped his face indiscriminately, and looked at Mrs. Wang with a flushed face, like a guy who had been caught red-handed for stealing food. I was even more annoyed in my heart, how could my mother know about what happened last night, the bastard in her small courtyard chewed her mouth, and immediately rushed out when she turned around.

"Don't think crookedly, your mother didn't let anyone find out your secret." Mrs. Wang chuckled: "It's also a coincidence, didn't you send Qiao'er some materials to make clothes yesterday, after you left, I suddenly remembered that Xia He hadn't made clothes for a long time, so I asked Xia Zhu to send some over." ”

Li Ze turned his head and squinted at Xia Zhu, who turned his face flushed and turned his face to look away.

At this time, Li Ze completely understood, Xia Zhu naturally didn't need to enter her own courtyard, she went straight inside, and she must have heard such a big movement.

Holding a spoon and poking in the porridge bowl for a while, Li Ze looked at Mrs. Wang with some depression: "Mother, Xia He followed me when she was seven years old, she is different." ”

"I know she's different, but that's why I'm going to tell you!" Mrs. Wang said slowly: "If we were like before, it would be fine, but now, you are very different, and your future will be more ambitious in the future. ”

Li Ze bowed his head and said nothing.

"I heard Tian Bo say earlier, Xia He is still your big housekeeper in the entire financial and economic aspects, last night, I invited Tian Bo to ask in detail, and I was even more shocked, Ze'er, Xia He holds your economic lifeline in her hands, and listening to Tian Bo's meaning, she is still an irreplaceable member." Mrs. Wang sighed: "That's why my mother is more worried." If you have a child before the housemother enters the door, then you will have a headache later. ”

Of course, Li Ze understood what Mrs. Wang meant.

The issue of the eldest son, the eldest son, has been a headache since ancient times.

If Xia He is an ordinary girl, it doesn't matter, she has no identity and no strength, so naturally she can't fight for anything, but Xia He not only has a deep childhood friendship with Li Ze, but also has strong power.

Mrs. Wang's precautionary thinking is in line with her consistent style of acting from a big family.

Li Ze was a little upset, "Mother, don't tell Xia He about this, I'll mention it to him myself." ”

"Looking at your appearance, I'm afraid it's hard to say, it's just that, I'll let Xia Zhu secretly remind her that the two of them have grown up since childhood, and their relationship is very good, let her say it, it's better than you and me to say it." Mrs. Wang is also reasonable.

Li Ze ate a few bites indiscriminately with some unhappiness in his heart, stood up and said, "Mother, I'm full, so I'm going out to do things, and I have arranged to talk to Liu Yi today." ”

"There you go!" Seeing her son's reaction, Mrs. Wang didn't care, which was already expected by her.

Looking at Li Ze's departing back, Mrs. Wang said softly: "Xia Zhu, after a while, you can go to Ze'er to take care of his daily life." ”

Xia Zhu sighed, "Madam, these things have always been done by Xia He. ”

"Where will Xia He have the time and energy to take care of Ze'er in the future?" Mrs. Wang shook her head and said: "Now she is very busy, in the future, Ze'er's power will become bigger and bigger, she will only get busier and busier, Tian Bo said, those things in Xia Hehui have been taught by your son-in-law since childhood, and there is no substitute at all, those accounts and the like, in the eyes of outsiders, are like books from heaven and cannot be understood at all." ”

"I'm leaving, won't there be no one on Madame's side?" Xia He said softly.

Mrs. Wang shook her head with a smile: "Xia He has been with Ze'er for more than ten years, and it looks like he is about to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, you have followed me for all these years, but you have not gained anything, let you go to Ze'er's side, it is also to give you a future, it is not in vain that you have served me for so many years." You and Xia He are like sisters, she will reject others, she will definitely not reject you, after the past, you can also become a buffer between the new mother and her in the future. ”

Xia Zhufen's face flushed, and he bowed his head and said nothing.

This has been said quite plainly.

Li Ze returned to his residence, but Xia He was nowhere to be seen, thinking that he had gone to the county government to deal with the copywriting that was piled up every day.

Wuyi's side has long been standardized, and when it comes to doing things, it is naturally orderly, from the county government down to the village level, it is completely controlled by the people of Yixing Society, and there is no place where the government decree is not accessible, but it will not be done on the Xindu side, and the Yixing Society has just begun to unfold, and it is far from reaching the efficiency of Wuyi's side. The original government has long been destroyed by the Heng Navy, Li Ze's newly appointed Sun Lei, Ma Mingtao and other officials want to stabilize their foothold in Xindu, and it will take time to gain mutual trust with local bigwigs, and the restoration of Xindu's economy and people's livelihood is undoubtedly the best focus of their first fire in office. And this is mixed with the resettlement of Texans, which is also a head-scratching thing, Xindu people will inevitably hate Texans, and in this catastrophe, there are really a lot of Xindu people who died in the hands of Texans.

And Shiyi is now even more chaotic, and it is still in the period of military control.

All of this work is managed at the heart of which has only one core, money.

A lot of money is spilled out for stability, order.

And as long as money is involved, it is inevitably inseparable from Xia He.

Li Ze suddenly felt a little distressed about Xia He, last night was crazy all night, several times Wushan clouds and rain, this morning Xia He also forced himself to get up to fetch water and wash his face, dress and wash, looking at Xia He, who walked unnaturally, Li Ze felt a little self-blamed.

The partial mother talked about those things again at this time, which made Li Ze even more unhappy.

Thinking about going to see Liu Yi today, Li Ze felt that his brain was a little swollen, and his mother hinted at the other party so unmistakably, but it made him a little embarrassed to go to see Liu Yi. Originally, it was to blackmail, to sell, to give the divisive plan, but now it is good, and it seems to be to meet the future old Taishan.

How embarrassing is this!

This makes Li Ze take it for granted!

Li Ze grinded in the study for a while, but he still had to stand up and walk to the courtyard next door, there were many things that he couldn't dodge, and he still had to face them after all. Anyway, my mother just hinted that she didn't know anything. Walking on the road, a clever plan suddenly flashed in my mind, and I couldn't help but light up.

Aha, I'm so smart.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard where Liu Yi's family lived, the first thing that caught my eye was actually the Liu Ruyan girl, different from yesterday, today's Liu girl has a net bag in her hand, and she is fluttering colorful butterflies in the spring of the garden! The footsteps are light, the skirt is flying, with the graceful posture and beautiful face, it is really a beautiful picture of the country and the city.

Everyone has a love for beauty, even if Li Ze has something in his heart, he can't help but stop at this moment and enjoy this picture.

Liu Ruyan also saw Li Ze. put down the net pocket of the butterfly, walked over with a red face, and bowed slightly with his knees: "Li Gongzi." ”

Li Ze returned the salute with a bow, but he didn't dare to look at the other party's faces that brought disaster to the country and the people, his cheeks were dizzy, and there were a few drops of crystal sweat hanging on his firm and small nose, which was close to Li Ze, and there was a woman's unique faint body fragrance between his noses, and he heard a slight panting in his ears.

Liu Yi looks very ordinary, and his wife, Mrs. Yu, can only be said to be middle-class, why did she give birth to such an excellent beauty? Li Ze was a little puzzled.

"I wonder if Liu Shibo is free at this time?" Taking a deep breath, Li Ze asked politely.

While speaking, in front of the gate of the hall at the end of the garden, Liu Yi's figure had already appeared, almost trotting all the way towards Li Ze.

"Li Gongzi is here, there is a disappointment, a faux pas, a faux pas!" Liu Yan clenched his fists and bent down deeply.

"Liu Shibo is serious." Li Ze cupped his fists and returned the salute: "I should have come to visit a long time ago, but the affairs are too busy, and it is Li Ze rude to drag it on to this day." ”

A shout made Liu Yi's heart beat wildly, looked at his daughter beside him, and then looked at Li Ze opposite, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. How resolute his thoughts were when he was left alone, but when Li Ze stood in front of him, those previous thoughts suddenly disappeared.

Compared with his son Liu Chenglin, he is not a resolute person.

"Li Gongzi, please sit in the room!" Liu Yi gave in sideways.

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.
