After negotiating the conditions, Kou Ji, Xiang Minzhong, and Xiang Chuanzheng were happily chatting together and eating wine and food.

The three chatted late at night, and Kou Ji wrote a heroic essay and handed it to Xiang Minzhong.

"Whether Grandpa Xiang can serve as the governor or not, all ...... in this article"

Xiang Minzhong's father and son were a little drunk, and they casually took the Xiongwen written by Kou Ji, and the father and son touched their heads and read them together at a glance and ten lines.

After only reading two paragraphs, Xiang Minzhong was half awake from his drinking, and he stared at the article in his hand with a shocked expression.

"This ...... This...... This ......"

Kou Ji smiled and said, "How is this article?" ”

Xiang Minzhong clenched the article in his hand and exclaimed: "This article is second only to the Jinkui Alliance that Emperor Taizong and Zhao Pu made back then. ”

Kou Ji pointed to the article in Xiang Minzhong's hand and laughed in a low voice: "The Golden Kui Alliance is just a joke, but this article is a half-truth, and after it is spread, I am afraid the effect will be better than that of the Golden Kui Alliance." ”

Xiang Minzhong nodded heavily, "If this article gets out, the Queen Mother is afraid that she will withdraw from the competition for the candidate for political affairs." With your support, your grandfather will definitely not stop your husband from serving as governor. The old man's appointment as a governor is nine out of ten. ”

Kou Ji nodded with a smile and said, "After Grandpa Xiang becomes the governor, don't forget to agree to the boy's conditions." ”

Xiang Minzhong carefully put away the article in his hand, nodded and said, "Don't worry, what the old man promised you, he will definitely do it." ”

"It's getting dark, and it's time to rest. The old man asked someone to arrange a side room for you to live in. ”

Kou Ji arched his hand, "Then there is Grandpa Lao." ”

Xiang Minzhong waved his hand, "It's so polite to the old man." In the future, I will treat this place as my home, and live as long as I want. If you choose the courtyard in the house, tell the old man in advance, and the old man will let him vacate it for you, and you can come and live in your spare time in the future. ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "The kid can live in the guest room, so he won't dominate the guests." ”

Xiang Minzhong smacked his lips and said: "The old man doesn't plan to keep this mansion to inherit the family, and when the old man's granddaughter gets married, the old man will give her this mansion as a dowry." ”

Kou Ji didn't hear this, and arched his hand and exited the hall.

The housekeeper of Xiangfu was waiting outside the door, and after seeing Kou Ji go out, he bowed to Kou Ji and said, "Kou Gongzi, you come with the villain." ”

The housekeeper of the Xiang Mansion took Kou Ji and went to the wing room of the mansion.

As early as when Kou Ji entered the mansion, Xiang Minzhong ordered someone to prepare a guest room.

What I just said in the hall was just a scene.

in the hall.

After Kou Ji left, Xiang Chuanzheng came to Xiang Minzhong's side and said suspiciously: "Dad, do you really want to give this house to Yan'er as a dowry?" ”

Xiang Minzhong rolled his eyes and snorted, "Then we have to see who the son-in-law is." ”

The implication is that if Kou Ji marries Xiang Yan, then this mansion is Xiang Yan's dowry, if it is someone else, don't even think about it.

Xiangfu used to be a royal mansion, covering a huge area, and it was also in the prosperous area of Bianjing City.

After years of renovation by Xiang's family, there are all kinds of pavilions and pavilions, and it can be regarded as one of the best mansions in Bianjing City, with a value of about five million.

With such a high-priced mansion, how could Xiang Minzhong give it away easily.

Xiang Minzhong's thoughts, Kou Ji knows a little.

From the time he spread the scandal between Kou Ji and Xiang Yan, Kou Ji guessed Xiang Minzhong's thoughts.

It's just that Kou Ji's first impression of Xiang Yan is not very good, and Xiang Yan is still young, so he doesn't have much covetousness for Xiang Yan.

It is precisely because of this that Xiang Minzhong frequently handed him words, but he did not answer Xiang Minzhong's words.

Under the guidance of the housekeeper of Xiangfu, Kou Ji arrived at the door of a Xiangfu wing.

The butler pushed the door open, lit a candle, handed it to Kou Ji, and then bowed down and stood outside the door.

According to the rules of the Xiangfu, unless the guest is summoned, the servants of the Xiangfu will rarely enter the guest's room without permission after the guest has entered the wing.

Ko Ji entered the door with the candle flame, and before he could take two steps, he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Wow......"

Kou Ji took a few steps forward before he stabilized his figure.

The housekeeper outside the door heard the movement and asked, "Kou Gongzi, what's wrong with you?" ”

The housekeeper poked his head out of the door, took a look, and saw that Kou Ji had hit the stool, and hurriedly reminded: "Kou Gongzi, keep the candle flame in your hand low, and you won't hit anything." ”

Kou Ji nodded, casually placed the candle flame in his hand on the table, and closed the door.

Then he walked over to the stool that he had struck off, crouched down, and searched carefully, finding a slender string on the leg of the stool.

Kou Ji took the strings, held them in his hand, and crushed them into a ball, and a petite figure involuntarily appeared in his mind.

That's the figure of the little sister of the Xiang family.

The little sister of the Xiang family is looking for people everywhere to embarrass Kou Ji, Kou Ji has heard about it from Liu Heng's mouth, but he doesn't care.

He didn't expect that the little sister of the Xiang family had not given up on making trouble with him so far.

When he entered the room, he didn't hit the stool, but the strings that were tied to the legs of the stool, and it was this thing that nearly tripped him.

This was definitely not done by Xiang Minzhong.

It is impossible for Xiang Minzhong to do such a childish thing, so it must have been done by the little sister of the Xiang family.

A little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth occasionally makes him a little stumbling, and Kou Ji doesn't bother to take care of him.

Today's Kou Ji is full of national affairs, how can he have the heart to go to play with a little girl.

He casually put the crumpled strings in his hand on the table.

Kou Ji took off his coat, got into bed, lay down and fell asleep.

Kou Ji slept until dawn.

Early the next morning.

After Kou Ji got up, the butler of Xiangfu was already waiting outside the door.

Kou Ji washed up under the service of the maid of Xiangfu, and then under the guidance of the housekeeper of Xiangfu, he went to the Xiangfu hall for breakfast.

After entering the hall, Kou Ji was slightly stunned.

The hall was full of people.

Xiang Minzhong sat in the center, his wife in the main room accompanied him, and his five sons, with their wives, sat at the table.

In addition, there are several tables, two of which are for the boys of the third generation of Xiangfu's grandchildren, and one is for the girls of Xiangfu's grandchildren.

This is not the end, in the corners on the left and right, there are four tables, sitting in Xiang Minzhong's concubine room, as well as the concubine room of his five sons.

The eyes of dozens of people fell on Kou Ji, and Kou Ji was a little uncomfortable.

Xiang Minzhong saw Kou Ji and smiled happily: "Kou boy has arrived, come and sit." ”

Xiang Minzhong patted a vacant seat beside him.

Kou Ji looked at the room full of people and said with a dry smile: "Grandpa Xiang, this is not appropriate, right?" ”

Xiang Minzhong glared, pretending to be annoyed and said, "What's wrong, the old man is the head of the family, and the old man of this family has the final say." The old man tells you to sit there, and you sit there. ”

Xiang Minzhong's voice landed, and the tiger eyes swept around, snorted lightly, and asked, "Do you have any opinions?" ”

Xiang Minzhong's children and grandchildren shook their heads vigorously.

Among the people present, only Xiang Yan, Xiang Jia's little sister, and a few girls who were good friends with Xiang Yan gritted their teeth.

Xiang Minzhong saw that his children and grandchildren nodded in unison, and smiled with satisfaction, as for Xiang Yan and Xiang Xiaomei, he didn't see it, he beckoned to Kou Ji.

Kou Ji sighed secretly in his heart, and sat down beside Xiang Minzhong.

Then under the attention of everyone in Xiangfu, Kou Ji hastily finished a breakfast and escaped from Xiangfu.

Xiang Lao Qi was too good to him, too enthusiastic, and the enthusiasm made him a little unbearable.

Kou Ji fled all the way back to the mansion, and saw Kou Li carrying a burden and quietly walking out the door.

Kou Ji bumped into Kou Li head-on, and said in amazement, "Dad, what are you doing with a burden?" ”

When Kou Li saw Kou Ji, as if he had done something bad and was caught, he smiled dryly while hiding the burden behind him: "No...... It's nothing...... Your father and I have a few close friends in Taixue, and when I went back to Huayin before, I was in a hurry and didn't say hello to them, but now that I'm back, I naturally have to visit them. ”

Kou Ji looked at Kou Li and nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing that his lies had fooled Kou Ji, Kou Li snorted and left the gate of Kou Mansion with his baggage.

Kou Ji kept an eye on Kou Li, and when Kou Li's figure disappeared into the alley of Kou Mansion, he beckoned to the door of the gatehouse.

Menzi came to Kou Ji's side and said in a low voice, "What do you have the command of the little young master?" ”

Kou Ji pointed to the place where Kou Li left, and said, "You go and keep an eye on my father, don't disturb him, see what he is doing, and let me know when he returns home." ”

Menzi nodded, and quietly walked away from the place where Kou Li had left.

Kou Ji's status in the Kou Mansion is second only to Kou Zhun, but it is higher than Kou Li.

Kou Ji instructed Menzi to keep an eye on Kou Li, and Menzi had no reason not to agree.

Kou Ji stood at the door, waited for the door to go away, ordered the guards at the door to guard the door, and then entered the house.

He didn't go back to the Four Monarchs Garden, but went back to the courtyard that Kou Zhong had cleaned up for him yesterday.

When he returned to the courtyard, he instructed the servants of the house to prepare a table of breakfast for himself again.

He was in Xiangfu, and his scalp was numb from being stared at, so he didn't eat well, and when he returned to the mansion, he naturally had to replenish it.

As soon as the breakfast prepared by Kou Ji was put on the table, he sent to monitor Kou Li's door, and hurried into the courtyard.

"Little master, you let the villain keep an eye on the young master, the villain followed the young master all the way to Zhouqiao Street, and saw the young master enter the Vientiane pawn shop."

Menzi came to Kou Ji's side and whispered.

When Kou Ji heard this, he was stunned and laughed in a low voice, "I know, you go down." ”

Menzi said yes and left the courtyard.

After Kou Ji left, he shook his head with a smile.

Kou Li's thief left the Kou Mansion and went to the Vientiane Pawn Shop, what to do, Kou Ji can probably guess.

Kou Li should have gone to pay off his debts.

He didn't expect that Kouli still remembered the debt he owed.

I didn't expect that Kou Li actually had a bit of a responsibility to do things by himself.

Kou Ji simply ate a little breakfast and walked around the yard, ready to rest.

Not long after entering the door, Kou Zhong hurriedly came, "Little master, master, please come over." ”

Kou Ji nodded slowly and followed Kou Zhong to Kou Zhun's study.

Kou Zhun saw Kou Ji and said straight to the point: "Did you go to Xiangfu to stay overnight last night?" ”

Kou Ji didn't hide it and nodded.

Kou Zhun curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and laughed in a low voice: "Is that old man in Xiang Minzhong a thief who wants you to help plan for the position of governor and political affairs?" ”

Kou Ji sighed with emotion: "Grandfather is really like a god. ”

Kou Zhun scolded with a smile: "Bullshit is like a god. As soon as the old man pouted his ass, the old man knew what shit he wanted to shit. ”

Kou Ji pondered for a moment and asked, "Does grandfather want Xiang Minzhong to serve as the governor of the political affairs?" ”

Kou Zhun shook his head and said, "That's not the case...... Whoever serves as the governor can do it, but Liu E's people cannot. The old man didn't want to control the government, but he didn't allow Liu E to control the government. ”

After a pause, Kou Zhun sighed and said, "Actually, Lu Yijian is the best candidate for alternate governorship. If he hadn't voted for Liu E, the old man would definitely have recommended him, but it's a pity. ”

Kou Ji said with a smile: "Since my grandfather didn't stop Xiang Minzhong's idea of serving as the governor, why don't we take this opportunity to push him to the throne and make him owe us a favor."

The most important thing is to push to the top of Minzhong, even if he will not be your grandfather's help in the court, he will not embarrass your grandfather. ”

When Kou Zhun heard Kou Ji's words, he smiled with satisfaction and nodded.

After laughing, his face was a little ugly, and he sighed: "It's a pity that Lu Yijian ......"

When Kou Ji heard this, he was slightly stunned and didn't say anything.

Kou Zhun mentioned Lu Yijian twice, obviously valuing Lu Yijian.

But now Lu Yijian has voted for Liu E and has become his opponent.

Even if he is optimistic about Lu Yijian, he will not promote Lu Yijian again.

Kou Zhun sighed for a long time, looked back at Kou Ji, and asked, "How do you plan to push Minzhong to the upper position." ”

Kou Ji smiled faintly, leaned into Kou Zhun's ear, and whispered.

After listening to Kou Ji's words, Kou Zhun stared at Kou Ji in a daze for a long time before he was stunned and said, "Your trick is too insidious, right?" ”

Kou Ji smiled shyly and said in a low voice: "To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to yourself. ”

Kou Zhun pointed at Kou Ji with a smile and didn't say anything more.

After a long time, Kou Zhun said: "By the way, the old man almost forgot to tell you an important thing. ”

Kou Ji asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Kou Zhun looked at Kou Ji seriously and said, "The Liao Emperor has made a move, but it has nothing to do with the conquest of Western Xia. ”

Kou Ji frowned and said, "What move?" ”

Emperor Liao has made a move, and it has nothing to do with the conquest of Western Xia?

If that's the case, then Koji should take a good look at this world, whether it's a historical world he is familiar with.

Kou Zhun pouted and said, "In recent days, the Liao Emperor has gathered the eight Khitan tribes, as well as the various tribes that are subject to the Liao State, and started winter hunting. It is said that more than 500,000 people hunted together in winter, and the scene was very spectacular. ”

When Kou Ji heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "The Liao Emperor has already made a move against Western Xia!" ”

Kou Zhun frowned, and said suspiciously: "You mean that the 500,000 horses of the winter hunt are the soldiers and horses that conquered the Western Xia?" ”
