Wen Qi Qi was listening with great interest.
When she saw him stop, she collected her thoughts and said, “So you went to this so-called election meeting a few days ago, Second Brother?”
Wen Ting Xuan nodded, “Exactly.”
“You also won the top spot by accident and became their new head of Chi Yu Lou?” Wen Qi Qi added.
Wen Ting Xuan frowned and corrected her, “Not accidentally, I defeated them all after a fierce competition.”
“You’re great, Second Brother!” Wen Qi Qi gave a timely thumbs up and complimented him from the bottom of her heart.
Wen Ting Xuan smiled, a little giddy, “That’s right, take a look at who your second brother is.”
The famous fop in the capital, isn’t it? Just one compliment, and you’ve forgotten your own reputation as a fop?
Wen Qi Qi spat in her heart.
“Second Brother, now that you have become the head of Chi Yu Lou, what are your next steps? Do you have any plans?”
Wen Ting Xuan put Chi Yu token into her hand again, “This token can command the whole Chi Yu Lou. After I became the owner, there are naturally some people who do not obey me, but in the past two days, I have beaten up all those who do not obey me in the organization, now they are submissive and do not dare to disagree.
I will give you a token, from now on you will go to Chi Yu Lou to arrange affairs for me. Don’t worry, the Chi Yu Lou only recognizes the token. Since the Chi Yu Lou command token is in your hands, they will listen to your orders.”
Wen Qi Qi was surprised, “What about yourself?”
Wen Ting Xuan said, “If it were the old Chi Yu Lou, it would indeed be enough to protect our family, but the current Chi Yu Lou has long been suffering from internal strife. It is not an easy task to reorganize, let alone restore them to their former glory, and it will not be possible to do so overnight.
So we, brother and sister, have to act separately. In the future, you will take over the Chi Yu Lou, and I will go to serve the court.”
When he said these words, Wen Ting Xuan changed his appearance from his usual one of no shame, and his eyes were filled with the will to win.
Wen Qi Qi was surprised, and only after a long time did she say, “Serve the court? How do you want to do that?”
“In a few days, the court will select military officials.” Wen Ting Xuan said. When he thought of something, he resumed his usual smiling look and said, “My brother-in-law, Wang Ye, is the examiner of this martial arts examination.”
When Wen Qi Qi heard this, she already understood all his plans.
It turns out that he really wasn’t playing these days. Not only had he gathered the Chi Yu Lou into his hands, he was also planning to take the martial arts test in a few days, planning to go the route of a martial general.
I have to say, Wen Ting Xuan really thought it through.
A single Chi Yu Lou is not enough to protect their family, so he wants to join the court and take the path of a military genera. When the time comes, if he can hold the military power and rank as one of the generals, then the family will have double protection.
“Second Brother, it’s really hard for you.” Wen Qi Qi said sincerely.
“What are you doing?” Wen Ting Xuan was a little uncomfortable and straightened his lapel, then stood up, “Well, I have told you all the plans. In a couple of days, I will personally take you to Chi Yu Lou, and it is up to you whether you can grow Chi Yu Lou in the future. I’m going to be a martial arts general anyway, so I don’t have that much time to worry about Chi Yu Lou.”
Wen Qi Qi nodded and assured him, “Second brother don’t worry. Your little sister is confident in growing Chi Yu Lou.”

I also think they should be together, but is it still possible when she was the one who asked to marry the emperor? I hope so.
Thanks for the chapter!!!!
