In the imperial headquarters, Cui Hao took the initiative to find Miss Zhuge for the first time. He had already made a complete calculation of what was given to him. In his eyes, the key to manipulating the Cuju competition of various countries was whether the aristocratic families involved in gambling business in Chang'an City were willing to let them penetrate this kick. Cui Hao was not worried about this. After all, the emperor was standing behind Li Ang. Those aristocratic families had to give up some benefits. Moreover, in the future, the family went west to establish a country, and these aristocratic families also wanted to get benefits from them, so all he had to do was to make no flaws in the manipulated game, and it seemed natural to make everything happen.

During the battle between Zhuge and Cui Hao during this period, Miss Zhuge slowly understood the man's temperament. In her eyes, Cui Hao was actually a person who valued feelings, but he concealed it very well and could not see it. "Are you saying that you want the Sima family to give up more benefits?" After looking at Cui Hao who came to find him, a trace of surprise flashed in Miss Zhuge's eyes. You must know that among the high-ranking gates in Chang'an City, in addition to families like the Chief of the General, the Grand Sima, the Duke of the Fuguo, and the Cao family, the Sima family

It can be said that it is the strongest family among the remaining families in Chang'an and Kinki. After all, the Sima family was already a great family in Hanoi during the Old Han Dynasty. Their ancestor Sima Yi was the leader of the four heroes of Sima Yi, Lu Xun, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong during the Western Expedition of the Great Qin Dynasty. It can be said that it is the most balanced military and political power among the families of the Great Qin Dynasty. However, over the years, the Sima family's power in the army has been much worse than before. Instead, they turned their energy to the chamber of commerce and the court. For them, they would never let go of all the profitable business, and it would be difficult to let them give up their profits.

"The Sima family is the most wisest family among the aristocratic families. A few years ago, they voluntarily withdrew from the cabinet. In order to prevent the late emperor from having an excuse to deal with them, they later made concessions in the face of my master's reshuffle of the underworld forces in Chang'an. It can be seen that the Sima family understands their current position very well." Cui Hao looked at Miss Zhuge who was just staring at him but did not speak, and couldn't help but feel a headache. To be honest, Miss Zhuge's attitude of not advancing and retreating made him feel uncomfortable. He would rather face the usual sharp-tongued Miss Zhuge, rather than the quiet woman in front of him.

"For a family, the way to settle down for a long time is not to master powerful power. It lies in the balance between the family and other families and the royal family. For the Sima family, even if they give up the military power, they are still very powerful in the eyes of the world. So I think the Sima family also hopes to use other people's hands to weaken their power so that others can rest assured." Cui Hao looked at Miss Zhuge who was slightly moved and did not continue to say anything.

"Very clever insight. It reveals the way of survival of our aristocratic family in one sentence. It seems that I underestimated you." Miss Zhuge, who had not spoken for a long time, sighed softly. From the founding of the Qin Dynasty to the present, whenever a family is strong, there will always be other aristocratic families joining forces to suppress it. In the eyes of the world, this is a fight between each other, but they don't know that this is just a big show that has been discussed long ago. It was only after all parties made compromises before they put it into practice for the world to see.

"This is not a clever insight. The Qin Dynasty has been in its founding for more than 160 years. None of the high-ranking families fell until now. At most, the family situation is just ups and downs. As long as it is a sensible person, it will come to mind." Cui Hao looked at Miss Zhuge who looked at him, and couldn't help but feel moved, but the words he said still had some meanness, which was quite a bit stingy.

Looking at Cui Hao, Miss Zhuge did not care about the hidden meaning in his words. She knew that this was just an instinct for this man to protect himself, just like when she faced other people, she was the same type of people. "Then why choose our Zhuge family? You should know that as a descendant of the Four Yings. Our four families have always had a good relationship." Miss Zhuge asked her last question, she wanted to know how strong Cui Hao was in terms of wisdom and strategy. This man was definitely not the kind of cunning thing that was the lone thief. What he showed was the true accurate calculation of wisdom and strategy.

"Because there is enough excuse." Looking at Miss Zhuge, Cui Hao picked up the tea that had already been cold in front of him and drank it all in one sip. "Those who secretly manipulate the gambling bureau in Chang'an City can be said to be the leader of the Sima family, and your Zhuge family is just following the Sima family to fight for autumn wind."

Looking at Cui Hao, who always speaks so rudely, Miss Zhuge suddenly smiled in her eyes. If this man had not been from a humble background, she would have been her good match, but unfortunately the family would not agree to marry such a man.

"I think the Zhuge family made a request to the Sima family because they were dissatisfied with such a status. Such an excuse should be very reasonable." Putting down the teacup, Cui Hao looked at Miss Zhuge quietly, but found that there were more things in her eyes looking at her that he didn't understand.

"Our two families join forces to put pressure on the Sima family, which can indeed make the Sima family give in and give up more benefits, but they don't know what to do with the benefits they get?" Although she had a hint of emotion for Cui Hao that she didn't understand, Miss Zhuge was still the wise woman, putting the interests of the family first.

"In this case, Miss Zhuge shouldn't have asked at all." Looking at Miss Zhuge, Cui Hao shook his head and sighed, "Miss Zhuge deliberately made friends with my mistress before, because it was to make my master feel good about his family. In the future, after my family became a prince of the Qin Dynasty, can I get strong help after establishing a foreign country in thousands of miles away?"

"It's not in line with the name of a wise man in your family," Cui Hao sighed, and looked at the silent Miss Zhuge with his eyes.

"Who can tell the future of things? What if you fail? Miss Zhuge finally spoke, "Then will everything my family has done now be wasted, not to mention that the benefits of gambling are not a small amount. Once the Sima family gives up, then it is a regular order, so how can I not be moved?"

Miss Zhuge's last words were filled with coquettishness. Even if Cui Hao was calm, he could not help but be amazed by the charm of this moment. However, he was always the black fox of the family recognized by Li Ang. In a blink of an eye, he had already calmed down and sighed with a tone of regret, "Then Miss Zhuge shouldn't have come to make friends with my family. There is no way in this world

If you can't bear to pay for the money, why bother to expect that your daughter will be too stingy?” After sighing, Cui Hao's eyes turned to Miss Zhuge's somewhat annoying face and said, "If the lady cannot make the decision on this matter, then go back and ask the head and elders of your family. I believe they will make a decision."

Seeing Cui Hao's calm look, the anger on Miss Zhuge's face suddenly disappeared. She just looked at the calm man in front of her and asked, "Are you so sure that my elders will agree with your request?"

"This is not my request, but our family's request." Cui Hao glanced at Miss Zhuge, then lowered his head and his voice was calm, "Men are always more courageous than women in their work, so I came here." After saying these unexplained words, Cui Hao stood up.

"Young family asked me to agree." Looking at Cui Hao who was about to leave, Miss Zhuge's frown suddenly spread out, she called Cui Hao and said with a smile.

Looking at Miss Zhuge with a smile on her face, Cui Hao hesitated for a moment, and then said, "We only need 40% of the profits in the Sima family. If you have the ability, you can scrape them out of the Sima family." After that, he glanced at the screen behind Miss Zhuge, and then said nothing again and left with great strides.

After Cui Hao left, an old sigh sounded the screen behind Miss Zhuge. Then an old man, about fifty years old, walked out slowly. The old man was wearing a white robe and was graceful, making people know that he was young and a romantic figure at a glance. Looking at his daughter looking at the direction of Cui Hao leaving, Zhuge Xuan couldn't help but think in his heart, "The man in this world that can move my daughter has finally appeared." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

—

Hearing the father's sigh behind her, Miss Zhuge came back to her senses, and she turned around and stood up. Looking at the old father who walked out, she said, "Dad, my daughter just made her own decision. She asked her father to punish her. If her father thinks it is inappropriate, her daughter will send someone to tell him that her daughter is a daughter's family anyway, and it's just a verbal agreement, and it's okay to cheat, and he can't say that my family has broken trust in him."

Looking at his daughter's smiling face, Zhuge Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and said, "As a famous family in the Qin Dynasty, we can't have the truth that we have broken our trust. Since you have promised others, you must do your job well." Looking at his daughter, Zhuge Xuan sat down, his eyes stabbed his daughter's face like a sharp sword, and sighed, "If a woman is too big, the ancients will never deceive me!"

In fact, with the Zhuge family tradition, even if Miss Zhuge doesn't say those words, her father will agree to Cui Hao's conditions. After all, just as Cui Hao said, he can't bear to spend money, so he should not think about anything. Unfortunately, Miss Zhuge forgot these things in a mess, which made her father see her thoughts and sigh.

When she heard her father's sigh, Miss Zhuge's face changed, but soon she calmed down and the smile on her face was also curled. She sat next to her father and asked, "What do you think of him?" The voice was a little decisive.

"If you have the means and wisdom, you are a fox with a black heart. If you were placed at that time by Emperor Taizu, you would probably be a person like the "poisonous scholar Jia Xu". " Zhuge Xuan thought of Cui Hao's conversation with his daughter, pondered for a moment, and then he looked at his daughter's drooping face, but smiled, "But he is indeed worthy of my daughter."

Listening to his father's words, Miss Zhuge raised her head, but looked at her father in surprise. Looking at the expression on her daughter's face, Zhuge Xuan's smile became heavier, "But he is not an ordinary man. If you don't have some means, you may suffer a loss in the future."

"If my father is not worried, my daughter will have his own way to subdue this black-hearted fox." Seeing that his father revealed his intention to choose a husband in his words, Miss Zhuge laughed happily, then said something to her father, and then took a brisk step.

After Miss Zhuge left, another person walked out from behind the screen. The man looked very imaginative of Miss Zhuge's father, but he was much younger. He walked to Zhuge Xuan and asked, "Brother, you have already decided on Yue'er's marriage, why are you?"

Looking at the puzzled brother, Zhuge Xuan chuckled, "In this world, no father doesn't want his daughter to marry a good husband, I am no exception. Compared with this Cui Hao, the boy from the Wei family is just a useless rotten wood!"

"Does your eldest brother want to regret the marriage?" Zhuge Dao was surprised to see that his elder brother liked the scheming person when he spoke, saying, "You must know that his eldest brother has always spoken the word "faith" the most, and insisted on the Zhuge family's family style that was as strict as a mountain.

"It's not me who regrets marriage, but Yue'er herself. If that happens, the Wei family has nothing to say." Zhuge Xuan said lightly, but the implicit meaning in his words made his brother's heart tremble.

"Brother, you will drive Yue'er out of the house in the future and let her go to Haixi with them?" Zhuge Dao did not expect that his brother was so willing to let him go, and the bets he had suppressed on Li Ang was so heavy.

"You know Yue'er's temperament. As long as you get stuck in it, you will never look back." Zhuge Xuan's voice was still calm, but his eyes were a little distant. "People's hearts are full of flesh. Although the young man named Cui Hao was very scheming, he was a person who valued love. Yue'er sacrificed so much for him, and I think he would not treat Yue'er badly."

"Brother, you..." Looking at Moran's brother, Zhuge Dao didn't know what to say. He knew that his brother did this just for the entire Zhuge family, and he was never as good as his brother.

"Don't tell Yue'er about this. I would rather she hate me for the rest of her life in the future." After looking at the brother who lowered his head and said nothing, Zhuge Xuan stood up.
