"My child, if you enter the palace today, it will be difficult for you to live a stable life in the future. The woman will be a marquis and will be given a fief. Tomorrow morning, there will be a big controversy."

Mr. Mei was talking as he settled down. He had not left the house for several days. Although he was a little depressed at the moment, bathing in the sunshine made him feel more comfortable than lying down.

Chuxue smiled and looked at the chessboard with ease.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, it's the Emperor who has a headache, and I won't go to court, so those words won't reach my ears. If I were a man today, there wouldn't be much noise. What they care about most is just because I am a daughter.

.”

Above the court, men have had the final say since ancient times, and power has been in the hands of men since ancient times. In the hearts of most men, women will never be allowed to have any influence on the word power.

When Chu Xue hit the point, Mrs. Mei couldn't help but sigh. Indeed, as she said, the reason why there was a big reaction in the court was because she was a woman.

"How long will you stay in Yong'an City?"

"It depends on the situation. I have some things to deal with. I happen to be accompanying Mr. and the others. They may stay for a longer time. Mr. Mei doesn't have to worry. They have to consider whether they are qualified or not. I, the Jin Yuhou, am a real person. If they are dissatisfied, they can go to the emperor."

Come on, I won't be polite if you come to me. Anyway, I'm a woman. In their eyes, women are mostly unreasonable, so I won't be reasonable with them."

When the soldiers come, they will cover up the water and earth, so don't panic.

"You!" Mr. Mei couldn't help but smile after hearing this. Also, if those people think that she is a woman who is easy to bully, they are totally wrong. The girl in front of them is not someone who suffers from boredom.

"Mr. Mei, please hurry up and get well. I still have a difficult matter here that I need your help with."

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly."

When Mr. Mei heard that Chu Xue needed help, he quickly raised his head and asked.

"Don't be anxious, keep talking as you go, the emperor gave me a decree when I entered the palace today, and I also issued a military order to the emperor..."

"What? One year? Isn't this the emperor's intention to make things difficult? Sure enough, when he promised to make this Jinyuhou, he just dealt with it perfunctorily, and now he took it back with caution."

The old man was very excited after hearing this. He had been a minister for three dynasties. He had never experienced any of it, whether it was building water conservancy projects or building roads and bridges. Within one year, this was simply impossible. To issue such an imperial edict was obviously bullying.

people?

The old man knew the origin of Jin Yuhou and thought more and more about it.

"Chu Xue, why didn't you find an excuse to delay this matter? Let's think of something together. Why did you issue a military order? After the military order was established and the imperial edict was issued, there is no room for change in this matter. This is terrible.

What should we do?”

The uncle of the Mei family was also worried.

"He is the emperor, the king of a country. If he really wants to take back my title and fiefdom, there will be other reasons even without this matter. Sooner or later, it's just a matter of time. Instead of making people worry about it all the time, it is better to take the initiative and let the current emperor and

Everyone in the court understands that I, the Jinyu Marquis, can afford it, and let them see that after three years, my garrison is no longer something they can move if they want."

Chu Xue's eyes were sideways as she spoke, a bit sharp. Elder Mei and the elders of the Mei family also felt the change in her and couldn't help but look at her again.

"...Child, how sure are you?"

Although from Mr. Mei's point of view, there was no certainty about this matter, Chu Xue's attitude made him couldn't help but ask seriously.

"Seventy to eighty percent, if God helps me, then this matter will probably come true. I have been preparing for this matter for three years. I already sent people to supervise it on the way to Yong'an City. Therefore, this imperial edict is not from the emperor.

If you deliberately put yourself in trouble, I begged you to do so."

So they did wrong to the emperor.

"What? What do you mean, you asked for this imperial edict on your own initiative? You also wanted to issue the military order yourself? My child, you should know how difficult this matter is. Are you sure that you are 70 to 80 percent sure?"

"Well, it's almost the same, but I still need everyone's help with some details, so I will stay in Yong'an City during this period. I heard that Mr. Mei Zengjin presided over and supervised the Yongxiu Water Conservancy Project, which benefited the whole country. I happen to have some questions in this regard.

I want to ask for advice, but I might as well bother you to go to garrison the city when the time comes, so you have to take good care of yourself as soon as possible, and I'm counting on you here."

Chuxue looked at the other party expectantly, as if this matter couldn't be done without him.

"This is not a problem. As long as it is useful, you can just speak. I am just idle now. It's just this matter..." Mr. Mei is still a little confused. This matter is not a trivial matter. In one year, no matter how you prepare, even if

Everything is ready, and the work time is here. I really can’t imagine how to complete these two things within one year.

"Chu Xue will feel relieved with your words, please."

Chu Xue looked at ease and was ready to concentrate on playing chess. Lu Wenyu listened silently. In order to let the old man cooperate as soon as possible, she could think of any tricks.

Regarding the water conservancy matter, she may not really need Mr. Mei's help. In the past three years of following her, he knows best how much thought she has put into this matter. Sometimes she spends half the night thinking about it. It's okay to say that she forgets to eat and sleep.

However, no one believed that she could complete it within a year, but he believed it because he would believe it after seeing her preparations and efforts for this matter with his own eyes.

"Girl, I have a question, please don't be upset."

"If you always have something to say, just say it." Chu Xueluozi said with a smile.

"You... took such a big risk and even issued a military order. Why are you doing these things?" Whether it's building water conservancy or building roads, from the current point of view, it is the court that benefits from these things. She has to put so much effort into it.

In a dangerous situation, what are you trying to do?

Chuxue smiled faintly, "I am a businessman, so I have my own plans, but I am also a scholar. I know some truths and will not make fun of people's livelihood. If I can achieve what I want and benefit the people, I will

Nothing matters, right?"

She did spend a lot of thought on weighing private interests and public interests and taking both into consideration, but one thing they can rest assured is that no matter when or where she plots something, she will never forget that the people of this world can live in peace and harmony.

It is something that her senior brother Mei Shijiu is bound to do, and she will never do anything that violates this rule. Not only will she not do it, she will not allow others to do it as far as she can see.

Mr. Mei was completely relieved now. Chu Xue's words reminded him of his grandson Mei Shijiu, and his eyes dimmed a bit.

"Don't worry, thanks to your consideration, I can still use my old bones. I will get well as soon as possible. If you need me anywhere, just ask."

"Thank you very much, sir. If you don't mind, can I call you grandfather? You can treat me like a step-granddaughter. I think many elders love me..."

Chuxue suddenly stood up as she spoke, put down the chess pieces and sat directly next to the old man, holding Mei Lao's arm.

Chu Xue's sudden move shocked Uncle Mei.

Mr. Mei was stunned for a moment, and when he realized that his eyes were wet, he looked a little excited, "Okay, okay, if you don't mind, just call me grandpa. Boss, go quickly, go call her grandmother, and then go and call the girl in my room."

Bring me the sandalwood box."
