After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Shi Wanyue found a strange story that Wen Zhimiao would like and slowly told it to her.

He Yuanyao and Qi Linglang were also listening nearby.

When Yun Zhou came over, he saw four children, and Wen Zhimiao was lying next to Shi Wanyue in a disarray.

He Yuanyao and Qi Linglang were arguing about the content of the story.

Shi Wanyue told them stories in a slow and unhurried voice.

Sometimes Yun Zhou felt that with Shi Wanyue around, the maids who were originally responsible for taking care of these children had their work cut out for them.

When Wen Zhimiao heard Yun Zhou coming, he quickly got up.

She ran towards Yunzhou, and Yunzhou picked her up. In the past few years, Su Qingluo had woken her up every day for morning exercises.

Yun Zhou's physical fitness has indeed improved a lot, although he is still only about 1.65 meters tall and cannot compare to Su Qingluo.

But holding a three-year-old child doesn’t feel difficult.

"Aren't you busy?" Wen Zhimiao put his arms around her neck.

"Yes, I'm very busy, but there are some things I can't figure out, so I came to you for advice." Yun Zhou whispered to her.

Wen Zhimiao blinked at her: "I'm just a child."

"Don't give me that." Wen Zhimiao is now over three years old. Although he has forgotten some things from his past life, he has not forgotten them all.

And even though children sometimes have temper tantrums, they are not completely children after all.

Wen Zhimiao pretended to be dead and lay in her arms: "You are exploiting child labor. I want to report it."

"Go, your mother is in Hande Hall, maybe she has questions to ask you." Yun Zhou said with a smile.

Wen Zhimiao angrily reached out and pinched her face, and Yun Zhou held her wrist.

"I won't let you work for nothing. Didn't you want a set of building blocks last time? Almost have it done." Yun Zhou coaxed her.

"No, that's what you promised to give me last time. It can't be used this time." Wen Zhimiao grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Oh, so you don't want that set of puppets anymore?" Yun Zhou raised the corner of his mouth and asked her teasingly.

Wen Zhimiao:......

I was caught again, but I really wanted it.

"Yes~ Zhou Zhou is the best. You can ask anything you want." Wen Zhimiao narrowed his eyes.

Yun Zhou sneered, then said to the others, "You guys play first, I'm going to take His Highness to do something."

Shi Wanyue and others nodded obediently.

Yun Zhou carried Wen Zhimiao to his study.

Wen Zhimiao saw a list on her desk.

Yun Zhou put her down and showed her the list.

Wen Zhimiao saw a circled name on the list.

"Xiao Yuanju?" Wen Zhimiao read out the name, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong with the name at once.

"Well, Xiao Yuanju is this year's new top scholar, the freshly crowned top scholar." Yun Zhou said to her lightly.

Wen Zhimiao scratched his head: "So who is he and what's the problem?"

"I remember I saw a video before, it was a solo video of the male protagonist, and the name Xiao Yuanju appeared in it, which is one of the male protagonist's aliases."

"Is that so? So the male protagonist came to take the imperial examination under a pseudonym?" Wen Zhimiao blinked and his fingertips fell on the name.

"That should be the case. I haven't finished reading the novel." Yun Zhou sighed.

Wen Zhimiao spread his hands: "I don't have any either."

"I told you there were duplicate names in it, and asked you to recite the whole text without listening." Yun Zhou gave her a disdainful look.

Wen Zhimiao blinked innocently: "Sister, when I read it, the novel was still being serialized! And I happened to have a lawsuit at that time."

Yun Zhou waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, but I found out that it was the Xiao family that once competed with the Wen family for the world. Lu Xuyao ​​dared to use the pseudonym Xiao Yuanju. Do you think it's a coincidence?"

Wen Zhimiao understood immediately after she reminded him: "You mean, the male protagonist's surname is not Lu, but Xiao, and the Lu family just raised him?"

"Yes." Yun Zhou nodded. This was what she guessed.

"It's very likely." The little man touched his chin, looking thoughtful.

"No wonder Lu Xuyao ​​suddenly disappeared and couldn't be found."

"None of this matters. What matters is that Qi Xiang is very enthusiastic about him and even hopes that he can marry into the Qi family. Do you think this is normal?" Yun Zhou asked in a slightly cold tone.

Wen Zhimiao immediately shook his head: "It's not normal at all."

"Prime Minister Qi is about to rebel, and he also hopes that the new number one scholar will marry into his family. No one would believe that the two have no connection at all." Wen Zhimiao curled his lips.

"It's indeed abnormal, and Xiao Yuanju even refused." Yun Zhou chuckled.

"But the Lu family provided Qi Xiang with a lot of funds, even food and weapons through secret channels."

Wen Zhimiao didn't understand for a moment: "Is he so arrogant?"

"Providing these things to Qi Taihong blatantly? And what does he want from helping Qi Taihong?" Wen Zhimiao scratched his head.

Then her eyes suddenly lit up: "No, no, unless he is sure that Qi Taihong cannot succeed."

"Does he know the plot?" Wen Zhimiao tilted his head and asked curiously.

Yun Zhou shook his head: "No, he doesn't know the plot."

"But there are many of Qi Taihong's people in his private army, and many border generals have accepted his benefits. In addition to the Lu family's business in public, Xiao Yuanju also has some business in secret, mostly smuggling business, traveling between Beirong and Tianxuan."

"He didn't interfere with the many small countries in the south because those places were controlled by Wen Mingzhe."

Wen Zhimiao felt that his little brain was not enough: "So...how did he, a small civilian, do all this?"

"Even if it's a royal merchant, it's hard to be so exaggerated, right?"

Yun Zhou smiled and said, "The current head of the Lu family is a childhood friend of Xiao Yuanju. He has strong business ability. In the original novel, he also has the assistance of Shen Luoling. In fact, Shen Luoling is mainly responsible for these secret businesses, while Lu Pengchi is responsible for the open business."

Wen Zhimiao raised his head: "Yeah? What about my mother? What golden finger does my mother have?"

"It's a pity that your mother only has one Yanwu Army and one Dragon Shadow Guard, and in the end they both became Lu Xuyao's golden fingers."

"Pooh." Wen Zhimiao couldn't help but spit.

"And then?" Wen Zhimiao wanted to grab the male protagonist and bite him a few times.

"And if I remember correctly, according to the plot there will be floods in the south this year, and Qi Taihong will take the opportunity to rebel." Yun Zhou played with a stone in her hand. It has become a way for her to relieve stress.

"Yeah, you said that. I remember that you had already made preparations. You even stored three years' worth of food."

"Yes, but now something is wrong."

"what is the problem?"

"A few days ago, I received news from the Dragon Shadow Guard that Xiao Yuanju, Wen Mingzhe, and the Queen of Beirong all had some private contacts."

"I can't quite figure out what he wants to do now. After all, with Xiao Yuanju as the leading man in front, Qi Taihong and Wen Mingzhe will definitely not succeed."

"If I were writing a book, even if I decided that he would win, I would have to make it logical. But I can't figure it out right now, so I can only ask you for advice."

Wen Zhimiao was a little curious: "Why don't you ask my mother?"

She felt that Su Qingluo must have better ideas than her.

"In the past three years, Su Qingluo has supported a group of wealthy businessmen in the south, which has greatly developed the economy in the south. However, there has never been a perfect plan for taxation, and it is still in chaos. Qi Taihong has been nagging about this issue these days, and your mother is still discussing it with the supervisor."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Wen Zhimiao touched his chin, and the little guy frowned.

While combining the actual situation, he asked Yun Zhou about some things in the plot.

The two best friends, one big and one small, both looked like they had a headache.
