Mrs. Zhou arrived at the old house of Gu family with anger in her heart.

After she entered, Gu Mu immediately closed the door according to Ji Ming's instructions. Then he sent all the servants in the family and spread rumors widely that Gu had already reconciled with Zhou Qingchen. Not only did he reconcile, Zhou Qingchen regretted that he was too late, so he sent his wife to apologize to Gu.

Ji Ming saw all this and was a little surprised. He suddenly realized that Gu Mu didn't seem so stupid, and he learned to learn from one example.

Recently, the people of the Gu clan have been watching the movement here. Today, the carriage from the Zhou Mansion has indeed arrived at the mansion, and they know it. Therefore, they all believe these rumors a little.

When they wanted to make excuses and entered the mansion to inquire, they were stopped.

The servants were very rude and said to these tribe members: "The old lady said that in times of distress, the true feelings will be seen. The old lady has already seen the true feelings of you and others clearly. Therefore, you don't have to go in. In three days, the grandpa will naturally hand over the position of patriarch and set up a new door."

This time, the people of the ancient clan were panicked.

Before, they forced the Kusaka family to leave the Gu family, which was like cutting out a cancer. Now that Kusaka has gained power again, he has taken the initiative to leave, which is to get rid of these tribesmen as burdens.

Without the support of the clan, is the powerful still a powerful family? Obviously, it is because he has the support of Zhou Qingchen and the exiled immortal. As long as he has great power, his son has his son and his grandson. If he does not have three generations, he will be a big family with rich descendants.

The Gu clan members were uneasy and went home to prepare generous gifts, respectfully trying to pay homage to Kusaka, but were stopped without exception.

These tribe members simply left the generous gifts and begged the servants to bring everyone's wishes to the clan leader.

The servants looked ignorant, while the tribesmen shook their heads and sighed.

They suddenly realized that they were still not smart enough. The patriarch and Mrs. Zhou were father and daughter after all. How much hatred can such a close blood relationship have? They quarreled today, and maybe they will make a reconciliation tomorrow. They should wait and see before making a decision. Now, it is better, it will be difficult to completely offend the patriarch to death.

These tribesmen left in a very conflicted way. Kusaka and Kumai in the mansion were also very conflicted.

After Mrs. Zhou arrived, she clamored to swear in front of the spiritual plane of the ancestors that from then on, she would be separated from the Gu family and have no connection with life and death.

Kusaka is helpless now, thinking that this is simply drinking poison to quench thirst and playing with fire to burn himself. Although the tribe members have temporarily left, once the Gu family really breaks up with Zhou Qingchen, it will be over.

Gu Mu suddenly understood without a teacher and thought: There are no outsiders here anyway, so why not just apologize now?

Thinking of this, he took off his shirt, found a bundle of thorns and carried it on his back, and excitedly asked Mrs. Zhou to apologize.

Ji Ming was filled with emotion: This family seems to be a little wise, it seems that they can use it more in the future. Haha...

An hour later, Mrs. Zhou was finally moved by Gu Mu's sincerity. Although she did not agree to make up, she no longer vowed to leave the Gu family.

Gu Mu gave all the generous gifts he had sent to Mrs. Zhou just now.

Li Duo people didn't blame him, but a smile finally appeared on Mrs. Zhou's face.

During this process, in order to avoid Mrs. Zhou's disgust, Ji Ming hid far away.

After Mrs. Zhou was sent away, Kusaka got up from the low-collapse and walked to Ji Ming very hard, insisted on bowing, and said, "Mr. Ji, it's true that he is a paradise. It took only a few hours to solve the big troubles of my family. I am so grateful to me for such a great kindness."

Ji Ming smiled and said, "Gou Taigong said this and saw you. Gu Mu is very close to you, and I am as close as brothers. Isn't helping him just help me?"

Gu Mu was moved: "Mr. Ji is extremely intelligent, but he is so approachable. He is tens of thousands of times stronger than that Huaiguzi."

Ji Ming laughed out loud.

After a few people joking for a while, Ji Ming cleared his throat and said, "I'm sorry to say it bluntly. Although the old lady shook hands with Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Qingchen's attitude was still unclear. Even if Zhou Qingchen had settled his past grudges with Mrs. Zhou, what about Huai Guzi?"

"Huai Guzi is a man who will take revenge and holds a lot of grudges. Even if he doesn't deal with the Gu family for the sake of Zhou Qingchen's sake, his children of the Gu family will inevitably rely on recommendations to others. There is no harm in winning over some court officials."

"If there is nothing to do on weekdays, it's fine. Once there is something wrong, the court officials and Gu can also support each other."

Kusaka nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, then contact the court officials. I rely on Lord Ji. Mu'er, go get things."

Gu Mu responded and quickly brought a wooden box.

Ji Ming smelled a strange fragrance from a distance. After walking in, he saw the wooden box with exquisite patterns carved. Obviously, this box is a priceless treasure.

Gu Mu opened the box and said with a smile: "It's just a little gift, but it won't be respectful. If it's not enough, Lord Ji will send someone to pick it up at any time."

Ji Ming was completely stunned when he looked at the things in the box. There were five night pearls inside, dazzling.

He took the box, tried hard to restrain his excitement, and put on a faint look: "Brother Gu, don't worry, everything is wrapped around me."

Ji Ming hugged the box and was filled with joy: Now these five night pearls are mine, haha, what kind of court officials are willing to make friends with me if they are blind?

Ji Ming was about to get up and say goodbye, Gu Mu took out another box and said, "Mr. Ji saved my Gu clan today. Thank you so much, but I don't respect you."

Ji Ming opened the box and there were more than a dozen gems of various colors. Although they were not as valuable as the Night Pearl, they were definitely valuable.

Ji Ming nodded happily and walked away with a smile in his arms.

…………

It was almost dark, and Li Shui, who was discussing the Red Chamber with Weiyang, was suddenly called by Ying Zheng.

On the way, Li Shui was a little uneasy and asked the little eunuch: "Your Majesty is looking for me, what's wrong?"

The little eunuch said, "I don't know either. But today your Majesty seemed to be restless and a little irritable. He paced back and forth in the room. Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind and called the exiled immortal."

Li Shui was a little puzzled and asked the little eunuch: "Is there any news about Xiang Liang from the south?"

The little eunuch shook his head.

Li Shui asked again: "What's the reason?"

The little eunuch thought for a while and said, "It seems to be related to all the young masters and princesses."

When Li Shui heard this, his heart skipped a beat: Could it be that I am saying that the Red Mansion is a taboo? It shouldn't be that, at this time, the Neo-Confucianism of Cheng and Zhu had not yet risen and the atmosphere was relatively open. Your Majesty should not be unhappy because of this matter. But... Why is it that he called me over so quickly?

Li Shui arrived at Ying Zheng's study with a confused look on his face.

Seeing that Li Shui was coming, Ying Zheng immediately stepped back and left, leaving only the two of them in the room.

Li Shui sat opposite Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng said: "In the future, I may not have the leisure to manage government affairs after becoming an immortal."

Li Shui smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes."

Ying Zheng also said: "Therefore, the position of the crown prince must be decided."

When Li Shui heard this, his heart suddenly stumbled. He knew what he was calling to do today. His Majesty decided to become a crown prince.

Li Shui's heart suddenly thumped: Why didn't there be any signs before? Your Majesty decided to let him be the prince? Is it Fu Yao? Although Fu Yao performed well recently and was deeply favored by His Majesty, he was young after all.

Li Shui was nervous for a while, and suddenly remembered: Why did he summon me only today? Should he really make Fu Yao the crown prince?

Just as Li Shui thought of this, Ying Zheng said, "In your opinion, who is the most suitable prince?"

Li Shui was stunned for a moment, then said with a dry smile: "I am the master of Mr. Fu Yao. My opinion is probably not very pertinent."

Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, that's the reason. The establishment of a crown prince is related to the people of the world. However, the civil and military officials in the court cannot make a pertinent opinion."

Li Shui was a little puzzled and thought to himself: Hearing this, Your Majesty has not decided who to set up yet.

Ying Zheng also said: "I was inspired by your proposal to select scholars in the imperial examination before. This imperial examination is indeed an extremely fair way in the world. It is better to let the young masters take the imperial examination and compare the exams. By then, it is clear which one is better or worse."

Li Shui was a little speechless. He used the exam method to choose the prince? Did he get the throne? Qin Shihuang was very creative.

Li Shui laughed dryly and said to Ying Zheng: "The imperial examination does have its fair side. But... the young men are either old or young. Wouldn't that young man naturally be at a disadvantage?"

Ying Zheng smiled slightly and naturally understood Li Shui's thoughts. Fu Yao was the youngest one.

Ying Zheng comforted: "Don't worry, choosing a prince is different from choosing an official. The prince is related to the people. I will definitely be very cautious and will not make a conclusion just by an exam."

"As for the results of the exam, I look at talent, not scores. Fu Yao is young and will try to lower his requirements as much as possible."

Seeing that Ying Zheng was very considerate in all aspects, Li Shui had to nod.

Afterwards, Ying Zheng instructed Li Shui a few words and asked him to use these days to provide good counseling for Fu Yao, not to talk about the Red Mansions all day long and waste his studies.

Li Shui laughed dryly and thought to himself: It turns out that His Majesty knows what I do every day.

Walking out of Ying Zheng's study, Li Shui happened to see Ji Ming returning from outside the palace.

Ji Ming held the two boxes with a happy look on his face. After seeing Li Shui, he immediately looked alert and subconsciously hid the box behind him.

Li Shui asked curiously: "Sir Ji, what is inside the box?"

Others call him Lord Ji, but Ji Ming thinks it is a compliment, and Li Shui calls him Lord Ji, that is definitely a satirical one.

Ji Ming's face turned red and he gritted his teeth and said, "I have nothing to do with the exiled immortal."

Li Shui said with a smile: "It's not gold, silver and treasures, right?"

Ji Ming's face changed, he turned his head and left with the box in his arms.
