After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 412 Final Discussion

After Murong Yun spoke endlessly and eloquently, offering a series of dazzling rainbow farts, he finally paused for a moment.

And took advantage of this brief gap to make some seemingly insignificant requests.

However, if these small requests are compared with the previous major issue of lowering tax points, they are simply trivial matters that are not worth mentioning.

Faced with these small and detailed requests made by Murong Yun, Xiao Jian did not even frown, but agreed to them without hesitation and happily.

It seemed that for Xiao Jian, satisfying Murong Yun's insignificant little needs was just a piece of cake, and there was no need to think too much or weigh the pros and cons.

Although Murong Yun's flattery made Xiao Jian feel very happy and satisfied,

But as an official after all, the rigorous work style he developed over the years prevented him from getting carried away.

As for those controversial issues, he decided not to make a decision for the time being, but to bring them back to the palace and convene relevant personnel to discuss and study them carefully again.

After he has completed his research and come up with a perfect and reasonable plan, he will report to his superiors.

Because these problems may have a ripple effect, if not handled properly, they may trigger a series of unexpected consequences.

Therefore, even if he already has a preliminary idea in his mind, he must be extremely cautious to ensure that the final decision is foolproof.

After this conversation, it seemed that Murong Yun and his companions took the initiative to make various requests to Jingzhao Shaoyin.

This scene gave people the feeling that Xiao Jian had successfully taken control of the situation and had Murong Yun and the others under his control.

However, if we carefully analyze the ins and outs of the entire incident and the intricate relationship between the various forces, we will find that the facts are not that simple.

In fact, the real initiative is still firmly in the hands of Murong Yun and his partners.

Perhaps, the reason why they chose to negotiate with Jingzhao Shaoyin in this seemingly weak way and let Xiao Jian have an illusion that they had the upper hand was

In fact, it is a carefully planned move by them, aimed at confusing their opponents so as to better realize their own plans and goals hidden behind.

Qian Yi showed just the right attitude from beginning to end, and his presence did not give people the slightest sense of abruptness.

Whenever Murong Yun encountered a slight pause in the conversation or needed to further connect the topic, Qian Yi would always take over the conversation in a timely manner.

With his clever and natural words, he leads the entire conversation in a more fluent and rounded direction.

This tacit understanding and cooperation seemed to have been achieved after a long period of running-in, making the conversation between them smooth and unobstructed like flowing water, without any sense of awkwardness.

Zhou She never said a word from beginning to end. He just stood there quietly, like a well-trained servant, serving the people in the room wholeheartedly.

His eyes were kept down throughout the whole process. He did not dare to look up at the faces of those people. He just silently did the things at hand.

Sometimes he poured tea or water for the waiter, and sometimes he helped the waiter serve the dishes. His busy figure seemed very humble and respectful.

Nevertheless, from his skillful and methodical movements, it can be seen that he is quite familiar with this serving job.

However, there was no dissatisfaction or complaint on his face, because he knew that when he was at home, the young masters in the family were his friends.

But outside, he was the steward and servant of the Qian family.

The meal took almost half a day. After the three people reluctantly saw Xiao Jian off, they slowly turned around and walked towards the carriage with heavy steps.

Every step seemed to carry a heavy burden, making it difficult for them to breathe.

After all three of them got on the carriage, they seemed to have unloaded all their burdens at once, and they all let out a deep breath at the same time.

This long sigh contained endless emotion and exhaustion - "Oh, it's so difficult!"

After Murong Yun got on the carriage, he lay down on it like a pile of mud.

Zhou She and Qian Yi looked at each other and saw the same emotions in each other's eyes: helplessness, anxiety, and a little relief after being relieved of a heavy burden.

Because they felt it personally, although Jingzhao Shaoyin was relatively polite to them, he still looked down on businessmen in his words and actions.

Today, Jingzhao Shaoyin was able to behave so humbly and politely, and even showed up in person to communicate with them. There must be a lot of stories behind this.

Maybe the reason why he behaved so politely was because of his beloved sister's fiancé, the Fourth Prince.

"Hey, when are you going to adopt a son?"

The sudden topic scared Qian Yi, who was drinking water, so much that he started coughing.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."

"Didn't Duoduo tell you?"

Zhou She quickly patted Qian Yi on the back and gave Murong Yun a reproachful look. They were all of similar age, and after getting to know each other, they got along like friends.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Just cough slowly."

Zhou She poured another cup of tea for Qian Yi, and Qian Yi drank it slowly from Zhou She's hand.

"Tsk tsk, you're bullying a single guy like me." Murong Yun rolled his eyes like Qian Duoduo.

"Why did you think of asking this? Duoduo did mention this to me." Qian Yi asked after he calmed down.

"Nothing, I just suddenly feel that being an official is pretty good. Look, no matter how rich we are, we are still looked down upon. Among the scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, we are always at the bottom.

You should adopt two children as soon as possible and educate them to study. Then we will have scholars and officials in our family.

In the future, even if Duoduo is bullied in the royal family, at least there is someone to support him."

"Why do you need to be so pessimistic? Besides, Duoduo is a member of the Yang family now. Can the Yang family watch her get bullied? I heard that Lord Yang has a good relationship with the current emperor, so I think nothing should happen."

"You are still young. That is the royal family. Do you know what royal family means? All thunder and lightning are the grace of the emperor. Even if I ask you to die right now, you still have to thank the emperor for his grace."

This was indeed something Qian Yi had not thought of.

He had always thought that Duoduo was joking when he said he wanted to create a genealogy for the Qian family. He also thought that as for him raising an adopted son, he was afraid that no one would take care of him when he got old.

But he didn't expect that there would be so many related things.

"Okay, I understand. When we get back, let's pick a time to visit Mr. Zhao Houzhi."
