After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister’s Treasure

546 Do you want to reconsider?

No one knew what Xi Rui was doing, so he went to find Liang Youxiao to drink.

The two drank a few glasses before Xi Rui said to Liang Youxiao, “Your family wants you to marry Baili. How about you? ”

Liang Youxiao spat out the wine in his mouth. “What? My family wants me to marry Baili? How come I didn’t know about it?”

Xi Rui raised an eyebrow. “Your family didn’t tell you? ”

“Your mother has been asking about Baili recently, isn’t it obvious?”

He was a little unhappy. He felt that the Liang family didn’t respect Xiao Baili.

They wanted him to get married, but they didn’t tell him.

Were they trying to compare and see if there were better girls?

Liang Youxiao frowned, “My mother didn’t say anything. She’s been helping me look for marriage partners recently and even chose a few for me to look at, but I rejected them all.”

He didn’t expect that his family would want him to marry Xiao Baili.

He had been busy with some important things recently.

He usually left early in the morning and returned late at night, so he was not very clear about what was going on at home.

Xi Rui pursed his lips. “I’m afraid your mother wants to find you a girl from an aristocratic family of equal social status. If that family find that you aren’t good enough, then she’ll consider Baili.”

He had heard from his mother that Liang Youxiao’s mother was a little powerful, and she didn’t find his two sisters-in-law very likable.

Liang Youxiao smiled bitterly. “I think so.”

Then, his attitude was firm and his eyes lit up. “But I won’t marry the girls from aristocratic families. My goal is to conquer the sea.”

Xi Rui raised his eyebrows. “The goal that Qingluo mentioned has become yours too?”

Previously, Shi Qingluo had told them that her master had been to many places.

On the other side of the ocean, there were many countries with different races of people. There were people with white skin, yellow hair, or red hair.

There were also many places where the Aboriginals lived.

As long as they used food or cloth, they could exchange for gold, jade, and other things.

There were also things like pirates.

Anyway, it was very exciting to hear.

He didn’t have much interest in going for a sea expedition, but he didn’t expect Liang Youxiao to be so interested.

“You want to go on a sea expedition?” he asked.

Liang Youxiao nodded. “That’s right. I want to go out on a sea expedition.

“I’ve been making arrangements recently. When the time is right, I’ll go and explore the world.”

His eyes were filled with yearning. “I think that’s the place I should go.”

Although Shi Qingluo had emphasized the various dangers of going on a sea expedition, the benefits of a single trip were also very attractive.

The main reason was that he liked this kind of excitement.

He was even more curious about other countries and wanted to explore them.

If he could start a trade route on the sea, he would have no regrets in this life.

Xi Rui clinked glasses with him. “Then I can only wish you all the best. I’m not interested in going on a sea expedition. I prefer to study machinery.

“I’m prepared to learn from old Xiao’s craftsmen and open a mechanical workshop when I return to the capital.”

He knew that Liang Youxiao was very ambitious and preferred excitement and gambling, so there was no point in trying to persuade him.

He wanted to explore the world.

It sounded cool, and if he succeeded, the benefits would be immeasurable. He could only support him.

Liang Youxiao chuckled, “You guys know me best.

“I told my family that I wanted to go on a sea expedition, but they all opposed it.”

He curled his lips. “But it’s useless for them to stop me from doing what I want to do.”

“Oh right, can you do me a favor?” he added.

“What favor?” Xi Rui asked.

“Help me pass a message to the emperor, I want to see him.” Liang Youxiao said.

“Qingluo gave me a plan to go for a sea expedition. She said that if I’m sure I’m ready, it’s best to pull some strings with the emperor to do it.

“I’ve been thinking a lot these days. Although it’s dangerous, but I only live once. If I don’t go, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.

“I also feel that it would be better if I have the emperor’s support, so I want to talk to the emperor.”

Originally, he was going to ask his grandfather and father to pass on the message, but both of them strongly opposed him going on a sea expedition, saying that it was too dangerous.

His grandfather and father were worried about his safety, while his other uncles and cousins mocked him for being whimsical and risking his life.

That was why he didn’t mention it.

Now that his family couldn’t understand him and didn’t support him, he could only use his own way to achieve his goal.

He also made up his mind to succeed and let his family take a good look at it in the future.

Xi Rui was taken aback. “So you and Shi Qingluo already have a plan. With her advice, it’ll be much more feasible.

“But I heard that going for a sea expedition is really dangerous. Do you want to reconsider?”

He was also worried about his brother’s safety.

“What’s not dangerous?” Liang Youxiao smiled.

“We might even be killed by bandits if we go to the northern border. We still went there and nothing happened.

“If you want to achieve great things, how can you not take risks?

“Ah Rui, I’m different from you.

“I want to prove myself. On one hand, it’s indeed my hobby and to realize my dreams.

“On the other hand, I want to show those in my family who look down on me that I didn’t make the wrong choice.”

His eyes were filled with burning ambition. “In the future, I will rely on this to reach an altitude that many of them can’t reach.”

Although his family and Xi Rui’s family were both part of the public administration houses, their family environment were different.

Although he was doted on by the old lady and his mother, they also doted on his other brothers.

His father valued his two elder brothers more and scoffed at his idea of running a business.

If it wasn’t for his grandfather’s support, his father wouldn’t have agreed.

In his family, only his grandfather supported him, but he also needed to balance the family’s needs and could not support him with too much resources.

Therefore, he had to fight for his own future.

Xi Rui’s favor was genuine.

He was an apple in the eyes of the old lady and the duke’s wife.

Old Master Xi and the duke seemed to dislike him, but they actually doted on them.

He also had the empress dowager and the emperor’s favor, which allowed him to live a tyrannical and unrestrained life.

He wouldn’t be able to be the number one profligate young master in the capital just by being arrogant and overbearing.

Without the backing of these people who pampered him, he would have been shot down long ago.

The Xi family was from the emperor’s mother clan, so it was enough to have one or two more outstanding descendants in each generation.

Otherwise, those in power would be afraid of them, so there was no need for Xi Rui to fight for anything.

Moreover, not only could Xi Rui do as he pleased in the capital, but he could also do the same in the Xi family.

Even if his cousins were jealous and unhappy, they didn’t dare to do anything to Xi Rui.

Otherwise, the old lady would be the first to come after them.

In any case, it was obvious that she favored him, and no one could do anything about it.

Moreover, Xi Rui’s brother doted on him.

At most, there was jealousy between him and his cousins, but they were relatively harmonious.

They could be jealous and unhappy that Xi Rui was favored at home.

This was human nature.

But if anyone outside dared to curse or beat Xi Rui, the Xi brothers would definitely unite and deal with them.

His family was the opposite.

If something happened to him, his brothers would probably only gloat over his misfortune, and some would even want to add fuel to the fire.

Although the old lady favored him, she was also concerned about her other cousins, so she stood on his side for the small matters and did not care about the big ones.

He had earned a lot of money in the past year, and his two sisters-in-law’s expressions were particularly ugly, as if he had taken great advantage of the public administration house.

That was why he was tired of all this. He wanted to go on a sea expedition to achieve his own goals.
