MTL - Fight the Giants-Chapter 799 plan

   Being stared at by Huo Xi, Mu Yan finally swallowed the smile on his face.

He took her to his side and played with her catkins: "Mr. Mi really has some skills. His hands can sense things that others can't. Betting on stones has a bit more winning rate than others. But it's not always the right bet. Yes, sometimes it doesn’t work.”

  Huo Xi's eyes are wide open, he really has cheating fingers!

   "It's okay if the timing doesn't work, even if it's one out of ten, you can still make a lot of money, right?"

"One out of ten? What's the use of cutting the big stuff down, and the small stuff going up? Besides, he has such a skill. If he is exposed to others, he may become someone else's tool. It is also a burden for him. Huai It's a crime, he almost lost his life because of it before. After being cast under my sect, it's only been a few years of easy life."

  Huo Xi was silent. Indeed, with such ability, if encountering powerful and powerful people scrambling for it, I'm afraid I might lose my life.

   "Then he is the most ineffective today?" Is she so unlucky?

"Not necessarily. The stone is too big. If the green is in the middle of the stone core, no matter how skilled you are, you won't be able to sense it through such a thick outer skin. We wiped it thinly today, so it's normal for there to be no green. Besides, I It is also intentionally not to cut thickly. Let's fish first."

   "Fishing?" Whom? Huo Xi frowned, "Fishing?"

   Mu Yan raised his eyebrows, "Why do you say that?"

   "I guessed it right?" Seeing him raising his eyebrows, Huo Xi felt a little proud.

"There was something wrong with Xuanyi today. At the beginning, I really thought that he was just showing favor to us, taught me how to choose materials, and helped me choose a few good materials, which made me earn thousands of taels. But later I think he had intentions, especially after he encouraged us to buy the big piece of material, I think everything he did today was premeditated, right?"

   "My wife is still smart." Mu Yan nodded: "Xu Yi was indeed premeditated, and was waiting to catch us a long time ago."

   "Why? His family is in the jade business. No matter how big the local family is, there are people behind him. They shouldn't be so stupid as to offend the Mu family, right?" Don't want An Sheng to do business?

  Mu Yan narrowed his eyes: "He didn't dare to offend the Mu family, but he dared to offend me."

   "Huh?" Is there a difference?

   "Of course there is a difference."

   "You mean, he is...Mu Zhan's person? Or did he choose to side with Mu Zhan?" Is it because she doesn't like her man, the son of a family?

"I have lived in the capital for a long time. As long as Duke Qian is not dead, and I am not too old to manage, I will continue to stay in Beijing as a hostage. I don't know when I will be called back by the emperor. Instead of relying on me, this can't be brought to the Xuan family. For a son with greater interests, it is better to choose Mu Zhan, the young master of the Mu family in Changzhen, Yunnan."

  With the young master of the Mu family under his protection, the business of the Xuan family will grow bigger and run smoothly.

  Although the words were plain, Huo Xi could still hear a feeling of depression, frustration, being trapped and unable to fly freely.

   I couldn't help feeling distressed. Hugged him: "You still have me."

   Mu Yan hugged her tightly, how lucky I have you by my side.

   After a long while, Huo Xi asked him again: "Have you already discovered the relationship between Xuan Yi and Mu Zhan?"

"It was only discovered in the last two days. The person who was watching Mu Zhan reported that he had seen a lot of times with Xiu Yi recently, so I asked people to pay attention to it. He heard that he was going to make a big deal about Huangbachangkou. If I replace it with ordinary stone, I will do whatever I can."

   "Let me buy that piece of material? But is it necessary to lose more than 200,000 taels for nothing?" Huo Xi was dissatisfied.

  Mu Yan tapped her forehead lightly with her fingers, "I've said that I'll do whatever I can, why would you do business at a loss for your husband?"

  Huo Xi's eyes lit up: "Did you change the material?" Mu Yan just smiled and didn't say much.

  Back to the gate of the Mu Mansion, the sky was already dim. Huo Xi was helped out of the carriage, "Hey, has the coachman changed?"

  Mu Yan didn't speak, and pulled her up the steps in front of the door.

   "My son, madam." The two doormen saluted.

  Huo Xi nodded with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work." Following Mu Yan, he raised his legs and walked across the threshold. Xiang Cao, who followed her, gave each of them a handful of rewards.

   The two doormen didn't realize it for a long time. Looking at the copper plate in their hands, they couldn't believe it: "What did you hear just now?"

   "Madam told us that we have worked hard, and give us a reward?"

   After being stunned for a while, Qi Qi raised his voice to Huo Xi who had walked a long way: "Thank you, Ma'am!"

   When the couple returned to the mansion, they didn't know that the two of them spent nearly two hundred and sixty thousand taels of silver to gamble on stones, and even broke the news, which had spread throughout the mansion.

  But even if they knew about the two of them, they wouldn't take it to heart. The husband and wife had dinner and took a walk in the mansion to digest food before returning to the house.

   "Did you change the coachman?"

   "No. It's just to keep him away. It's not a good time to scare the snake away. It's easier to guard against someone if you know there is someone out there. It's better than pulling out the nail and being arranged by someone else, and we have to bother to find it and remove it."

   After all, his husband and wife have just returned to the mansion, and they don't give them back. It's normal for people everywhere not to listen to his husband and wife's orders.

   "Remember to bring more people with you when you go out. Even in the mansion, don't be careless."

Huo Xi nodded in response, "But I don't think Aunt Jun should be so stupid. She wants to attack us, right? Her elder brother is dead, and if she wants to avenge him, she won't do such a stupid move, right? Let's break it In Yunnan? Even if Mu Zhan can get crowned heir, wouldn’t he still have to stay in the capital? Even if there is still a Mu Wang who can count on, you are not afraid that your people will get Mu Wang, and she will be beaten in the end? Wouldn’t Yunnan be handed over to three people? House? Make a wedding dress for someone?"

   According to Huo Xi, if it were her, she wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

  Although her husband and wife are well-known, if they cannot stay in Yunnan, they will not be able to hold real power. Why bother to lay hands on her and his wife? Fame is more important than real power?

   "Don't underestimate Jun, and don't think about her with ordinary people's hearts. Don't be careless."

"Um."

  Early next morning, while Huo Xi was still asleep, Mu Yan woke up and went to the Fuzhong Council Hall to discuss matters.

  As the son of the eldest son, it's fine if he's not in Yunnan. Now that he's back in Yunnan, with his status, he naturally has to follow the council.

   When he arrived at the meeting hall, he realized that everyone had arrived early, even his own father, and the hall was crowded with people.

   "I have met the prince!" All the staff and officials of the Mu family, as well as the male members of the Mu family who are younger than Mu Yan, and even Mu Zhan Mu Ang stood up and saluted Mu Yan.

Mu Sheng stared at him, thinking that he was experiencing this kind of occasion for the first time, and there were dozens of people in the hall. As for the movement, he said the word "free of courtesy" with precious words like gold, and walked straight to the position on his right without stopping.

  I couldn't help secretly applauding in my heart.

   As expected of the successor chosen by his father and elder brother, this kind of bearing is the image of a qualified son, and he will be an excellent prince in the future.

  After paying his respects, Mu Zhan sat down and gritted his teeth. In the past, it was only his father who he wanted to visit.

   "Next time, don't let so many people wait for you alone. You need to be more diligent."

   "Am I late?"

  Uh...Mu Sheng choked.

   Mu Ang hastily smiled to end the situation: "We came early. We discuss matters at Maozheng every day, and this will be at Maozheng." Looking at Mu Sheng: "Second brother, since we are all here, why don't we start discussing things?"
