Chapter 318
"Oh?"
Jia Thirteen invited Mi Fang to sit down and drink tea, and asked in surprise: "Decided so quickly? Are you sure you have discussed it with your elder brother and younger sister? Did they all agree?"
"Brother Brother Zifang! This matter cannot be sloppy at all!"
"My lord does not like to force things. If your elder brother or younger sister is not satisfied, this matter cannot be done!"
"I understand!"
Mi Fang nodded with a smile: "The Governor is a principled person, but I am not a confused person!"
"I have indeed asked my elder brother and younger sister about this! They have no objections!"
"My elder brother has long wanted to get involved with the Governor, but there has never been a good opportunity!"
"And my younger sister has long admired and yearned for the Governor!"
"After all, the Governor is one of the best young talents of this generation, skilled in both civil and martial affairs, and heroic. Any normal young girl would be moved by him."
If he were not a man, he would have been moved by Su Xuan himself.
Su Xuan was simply a model for men and an object of admiration for women!
Such a person was truly a winner in life.
He, Mi Fang, did not have high requirements; he just wanted to be a famous general who could gallop on one side.
This had always been his dream.
"After my younger sister marries the Governor, he will be my brother-in-law. I wonder if I ask him for a general position to serve, will he agree?"
Mi Fang even fantasized in his heart.
If it could be done, he felt his life would be almost complete.
"So that's how it is!"
Jia Thirteen was overjoyed and replied: "Since that's the case, I will send a message to my lord immediately to inform him of this matter as soon as possible. Once my lord has confirmed this matter, I will notify you, okay?"
"Then I will trouble you!"
Mi Fang nodded with satisfaction: "If there is nothing else, I will go back to inform my elder brother and younger sister of this good news!"
"You may!"
Jia Thirteen nodded and then asked: "By the way! I heard that Tao Zou Qian recently wanted to marry his son Tao Shang to your younger sister. Is there such a thing?"
Mi Fang panicked and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "Brother Thirteen, let me explain! It's not what you think! Don't misunderstand."
"My brother, younger sister, and I have no such intention. It is Tao Zou Qian's own idea!"
"He didn't actually look highly upon my younger sister; he wanted to take the opportunity to annex our Mi family and occupy our wealth!"
"However, my brother and I have decided to refuse, give him some benefits first, and temporarily drag this matter out and prevaricate."
"After confirming the relationship with the Governor, our Mi family is preparing to move the whole clan to Jingzhou to develop."
"Please don't misunderstand."
At this moment, Mi Fang was extremely nervous.
If the old thief Tao Zou Qian ruined their family's good deeds, Mi Fang would really vomit blood.
"Haha! Brother Brother Zifang, don't be excited! That's not what I meant!"
Jia Thirteen waved his hand with a smile.
Every move of Mi Fang and his family was under the surveillance of the Dark Guards' spirit beasts, so how could he not know the Mi family's attitude?
He simply wanted to help.
"I asked this just to ask you, do you need our help with this matter?"
"Although it is indeed inconvenient for us to take action on the surface, otherwise it might be counterproductive."
"But we can find ways to cause some trouble for Tao Zou Qian from the side, so that he cannot be distracted to take care of this matter recently. What do you think?"
Jia Thirteen added.
"Oh?"
Mi Fang was not only relieved but also surprised: "Can such a thing be done? Also, wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"
"No!"
Jia Thirteen waved his hand easily: "We still have some manpower and arrangements in Xuzhou. Doing this is just a matter of convenience!"
"Is that so?"
Mi Zhen felt more and more that Su Xuan was powerful. Even the Xuzhou Su Chamber of Commerce was so awesome; following him was the right choice.
He nodded hurriedly: "Then I will trouble you, Brother Thirteen!"
"Hey! What trouble! It's a small matter!"
Jia Thirteen patted Mi Fang's shoulder with a smile and said intimately: "We will be one family from now on! One family doesn't speak two languages! Haha!"
"Haha! Yes, yes! One family! One family!"
Mi Fang also followed with a smile.
Afterward, he did not stay here for long and soon left the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, returned to the Mi family, and told the story in detail to Mi Zhu and Mi Zhen.
"It's done!"
Mi Zhu also had a thick smile on his face and looked at Mi Zhen: "Are you relieved now?"
"Yes, yes!"
Mi Zhen nodded obediently, her pretty face blushing slightly: "Then I won't disturb you two brothers talking. I'm leaving!"
After speaking, Mi Zhen ran away shyly.
Mi Zhu shook his head: "Now you know how to be shy? What were you doing earlier?"
He was becoming less and less able to control his younger sister. It would be better to marry her off early and let the Governor manage her.
"By the way,"
Mi Zhu looked at Mi Fang again and asked: "You just said that Brother Jia Thirteen said he would help us deal with Tao Zou Qian so that he couldn't take care of us?"
"Yes!"
Mi Fang nodded affirmatively: "That's exactly what Brother Thirteen said!"
"Do you know specifically how they plan to do it?"
Mi Zhu asked.
He always felt that this Jia Thirteen was probably not an ordinary member of the Su Chamber of Commerce, but more like the person in charge of the spies planted by Su Xuan in Xuzhou.
Otherwise, he could not have such great power and energy.
That was Tao Zou Qian, the current master of Xuzhou.
But in Jia Thirteen's mouth, he seemed like a small fry.
It could be seen that Jia Thirteen did not take Tao Zou Qian seriously at all!
Excluding the possibility that Jia Thirteen was an arrogant and ignorant person, it could only be that he held great power in his hands.
Such a person was definitely the confidant of Su Xuan's confidants.
Then there should be no problem with the marriage contract between Mi Zhen and Su Xuan.
This made Mi Zhu feel much more at ease.
"I don't know about that. I didn't ask, and it wasn't good to ask!"
Mi Fang shook his head repeatedly.
He was not stupid; a fool could not help his elder brother manage the business of the Mi family.
Mi Fang was not only not stupid, but his talent in business was actually quite good.
It was just that he had a heart to become a famous general; unfortunately, his talent in this area was far inferior to his talent in business.
What could be done?
"That's true!"
Mi Zhu nodded in realization: "This question was indeed rash. You were right not to ask!"
"Since he promised, I think there will be results soon, and we will know then!"
"Yes!"
Mi Fang nodded in agreement.
He thought the same.
One day later,
Mi Zhu and the others received news that Zang Ba of Taishan County had raised an army to rebel, refusing to submit to Tao Zou Qian's rule, and Tao Zou Qian had led troops overnight to Taishan County to suppress the rebellion.
Naturally, he could not take care of the marriage with the Mi family.
As for Tao Shang himself?
Sorry, this person was mediocre in all aspects, and his personality was the same.
He could not handle such a thing at all.
Moreover, he did not have much of his own opinion.
Although he was tempted by Mi Zhen, he could only wait for his father to return from suppressing the rebellion and let his father accomplish this matter.
"Hiss!"
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang soon heard about Zang Ba's rebellion, and both of them gasped.
Mi Fang said in horror: "Brother Thirteen, no! Should I say, does the Governor actually have a relationship with Zang Ba? Could it be that Zang Ba is actually the Governor's man?"
"There is this possibility!"
Mi Zhu nodded, then shook his head: "But it might not be related!"
