Fight the Giants Chapter 806

Chapter 806 Private name

In the chamber the next day, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Mu Yan looked around and remained calm. With downcast eyes, he played with the ring on his left hand.

He and Xi'er are alone. Exactly the same style and pattern. Xi'er's is smaller, his is bigger. The two colors of gold and silver are twisted into a twist shape, which was custom-made by Xi'er at a jewelry shop in the capital.

The inner circle is engraved with Yi characters that he can't understand.

also told him that this is a foreign barbarian, and men and women give each other tokens when they get married. One for each husband and wife, worn on the ring finger of the left hand. It is said that the meridian of the finger is connected to the heart, which can best express the loyal and undiminished feelings between husband and wife.

I don't know if it was a lie to him. The corners of the mouth are slightly hooked.

Seeing that Mu Yan was in a good mood, Mu Zhan gave a subordinate officer a wink.

The subordinate officer immediately understood, and said: "My lord, my son incited the people and merchants to pledge in Yushi Street yesterday, the amount was huge, and he said he wanted to build roads and dig water wells in the city, and the official felt that this was inappropriate. The prince has taken over all the affairs of the local government office, what is this not overstepping? How can the people remember to go to the government office when they have something to do in the future? Isn't this an empty government office?”

Mu Yan's hand stroking the ring paused. He raised his eyes and glanced at that person leisurely, then gave Mu Zhan a light glance, did he become smarter?

Duke Qian didn't know about this, so he looked at Mu Yan: "Have you reached out to the people and merchants in the city?" He frowned.

"Master Huiguo," Mu Jun said, "This matter is my second sister-in-law who wants to do something practical for the people in the city in her own name, and has nothing to do with the son."

Mu Yan glanced at him in surprise.

Mu Xi didn't hold back, "The local government is responsible for these local affairs, and if there is any inconsistency, it will be submitted to the government at the meeting. How can she be a woman in the backyard to intervene in politics?"

"Why is it related to the matter of women participating in politics?" Mu Jun frowned and retorted.

"Wealthy businessmen and good people from all over the country often have measures to give back to the villagers, such as building roads and bridges, and have never been involved in the government. My second sister-in-law is just a newcomer to Yunnan. Seeing that the people's lives are inconvenient, she pays for it in her own name. I intend to do something good for the common people, but why not? Why is it involved in politics?"

The two brothers quarreled hard.

Mu Yan continued to lower his head and play with the ring on his hand.

Mu Ang watched helplessly as his two sons were out of his control and quarreled in the council hall. Before he could stop it, more and more people joined, even his two youngest sons joined in.

His earnest warning yesterday, was it for nothing?

"Yes, why can't it work? My second sister-in-law can't do good things anymore?" Mu Zuo stuck his neck and echoed his fourth brother's words.

The subordinate officer did not expect that he just asked a question, which caused several young masters to quarrel.

"It's not that you can't do good deeds. It's private, but the wife of the prince has a special status. She represents the prince and the Duke's mansion in every move. How can the adults of the government do things like building roads in the city? Who will remember them in the future? Isn't this a myth?”

"If they had the common people in their eyes, they would have realized that the roads in the city should be repaired long ago. The common people don't have access to water, so they sent someone to do the work earlier, and it's my second sister-in-law's turn to pay for it herself?"

The youngest Mu You has a very loud voice.

Father said a lot yesterday, saying that the second brother is the son of the world, and that the second brother and the second sister-in-law are capable people, so he will help the second brother and the second sister-in-law. And he likes the second brother and the second sister-in-law! snort.

The eldest brother unites so many people to bully the second brother, do you think he can't see? snort!

But Mu Xi didn't take his father's warning yesterday to heart.

He felt that the eldest brother was right. The second brother did this to cover up their past achievements. From now on, everyone will only remember the eldest son. Who will remember the eldest and third sons of the Mu family?

Can't help but say: "She and Shizi are one, and she didn't pay all of it out of her own pocket, she also collected the money pledged by merchants and common people. There are hundreds of thousands of taels!"

Hundreds of thousands of taels? !

All the officials and staff in the hall were stunned. They only knew about such a thing, but they didn't know that Mrs. Shizi still had such a great charm, and she received a pledge of hundreds of thousands of taels!

There was a buzzing sound.

"You're wrong." Mu Yan looked at Mu Xi coldly.

"You want to quibble! Want to swallow the money?"

The corner of Mu Yan's mouth hooked, "If I swallow the silver, what can you do to me?"

"you!"

"Do you understand dignity?" Mu Yan scolded him, "Your good brother tricked me into buying that big piece of material, which cost me more than 200,000 taels. Didn't the money pledged yesterday just make up for my loss? "

"You are gambling with Jiu Shengxing! Don't try to get me involved!" Mu Zhan almost jumped up.

"Jiu Shengxing is not yours?"

"no!"

"Really?"

Mu Zhan was short of breath. Although he owns a jade shop, his name is not Jiu Shengxing. "Jiu Shengxing's family name is Xiu!"

"Oh... If you say it's not, then it's not." Mu Yan had a nonchalant expression, as if he had just made a joke.

But Mu Zhan was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Turning his head, everyone in the hall looked at him suspiciously. He couldn't argue with anything.

If everyone thinks that Jiu Shengxing belongs to him, and that Mu Yan's bet on stones failed, it was his own conspiracy, and he let him lose so much money, what will others think of him?

Just about to continue to argue, Mu Yan didn't give him a chance to continue talking.

Just looking at Mu Xi, "I still remember what my grandfather once said to me. He said, 'Those who achieve great things, they need to be cautious in their words and deeds, don't rush and use patience, and choose the good to follow, so that they can make steady and long-term progress'."

Duke Qian and Mu Ang were taken aback. Yes, this is what my father often said and said to them. There was some nostalgia in Mu Yan's eyes.

"Don't try to change the subject!" Mu Xi was so angry that he wanted to stomp his feet.

"Did I change the subject? I was just telling my grandfather to his immature grandson. Also, you were wrong just now. My wife didn't collect 300,000 yuan. After she left Yushi Street, all merchants and aristocratic families in the city The big family and the good man also asked someone to send money, expressing that they also want to do some practical things for the common people, so..."

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Mu Yan said lightly, "So the bank note my wife accepted was not 300,000 taels, but 1,200,000 taels!"

Excuse me! 1.2 million taels!

Everyone was stunned. Mrs. Shizi raised 1.2 million taels! Will it be used to build roads and dig wells for the common people?

This...why wasn't everyone so active before?

The eyes of everyone looking at Mu Yan changed again. This world, yes. Quietly, another wave of people's hearts were drawn. He actually got the support and support of the big families in the city, the merchants and the common people.

Gong Qian looked at Mu Yan in surprise, he never expected that his husband and wife would have such great appeal.

and Mu Ang exchanged glances. The two brothers had expressions of being unable to return to their senses.

Mu Xi glanced at Mu Zhan, suddenly not knowing how to react. Seeing his ugly face, he thought for a while, and added: "Such a large sum of money, how reassuring is it to be in your hands! Let it be handed over to the county government, and let the county government handle these matters, so as not to get good things done in time. Bad thing, ruined the reputation of Mu Mansion!"

The husband and wife can't be allowed to do this anymore, otherwise they will earn their good reputation.

Mu Yan glanced at him lightly, but didn't speak.

The old aide in the mansion who spoke for Mu Yan yesterday said: "Since this is the private behavior of Mrs. Shizi, let Mrs. Shizi handle it by herself. Good people everywhere build roads and bridges. Things happen from time to time, and I have never seen good things turn into bad things. , the government government never interferes."

After Gan Qianke finished speaking, more than half of the people nodded in agreement.

Mu Yan glanced at him and thought for a while, "Then let Mr. Qian take charge of this matter, and then find a few accountants in the mansion, and a few chiefs to help with this matter. My wife is a lazy woman. Yes, it's not easy for her to show her face as a woman. This matter depends on Mr. Gan."

Everyone was stupid again.

Thought that the prince would take matters into his own hands to save his reputation, unexpectedly, he pushed the matter out again. Mu Zhan and Mu Xi were also dumbfounded, such a large sum of money, just, hand it over?

Qian Qianke was also stunned. I can't believe what I heard, that Shi Zi actually entrusted him with such a big matter?
