Xiao Yuan slapped on the table: "Qing'er, go and see who is mourning here, what kind of unfortunate song is singing, you go over and see, if she is really willing to sing, let her sing something happy, such as carrying a sedan chair or something." ”

Xiao Qing took the order to go out, and after a while, the voice disappeared without a trace.

The corners of Mr. Zhang's mouth twitched, and he was really helpless about Xiao Yuan's incomprehensible style.

When Xiao Qing came back again, he was in a hurry: "Dad, go back quickly, my mother...... My mother ......."

Xiao Yuanluo stood up suddenly: "How is Madame?"

"Go back and see. ”

Xiao Yuan raised his feet and walked out, walked a few steps, turned back to Xiao Qing and Xiao Yang, and said, "You two are here to entertain Mr. Zhang for me." ”

He walked a few more steps, and then turned around: "Qing'er, give me some broken silver." ”

Xiao Qing hugged his purse: "Don't give it, my father always borrows money from me, but he never pays it back." ”

Xiao Yuan touched his nose helplessly.

Mr. Zhang smiled and took out two silver ingots and handed them over: "The third master is not in a hurry, he is a little out of his hands." ”

Xiao Yuan took the silver and didn't say anything, and he couldn't see it the moment he left in a hurry.

He walked on the front foot, and Xiao Qing and Xiao Yang surrounded Mr. Zhang on the back foot.

The two brothers put their arms around Mr. Zhang's shoulders: "Mr. Zhang, where did you say we were going to play in a while, by the way, I heard that there is a new juggling team, let's go and have a look?"

"Don't watch juggling, so let's go to Yingchun Tower to have a look?"

"Otherwise, let's listen to the book. ”

"No, no, let's go to the gambling house. ”

Mr. Zhang called these two brothers, you can make one head and two big with my words.

He really regretted how he stopped Xiao Yuan today, he didn't do anything, but he made himself a belly of fire.

Xiao Yuan came out of the restaurant, hired a sedan chair and went back to the Hou Mansion in Zhennan.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw An Ning sending Wyeth out, Xiao Yuan nodded at Wyeth and entered the study.

An Ning sent Wyeth away and went to the study.

"When you have time, I will mention a few words to the fourth brother. ”

As soon as An Ning entered the door, he said Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter?"

An Ning said angrily: "The fourth brother has been a little distracted these days, and the fourth brother and sister told me that it seems that they have taken a fancy to a girl and want to take them back to the house as a concubine." ”

Xiao Yuan frowned: "How did he have this idea? He had told me before that he wanted to live a good life with Wyeth, and he also said that he would take a concubine." ”

"I said that I didn't accept concubines, I'm afraid I didn't meet a good one. ”

An Ning laughed: "Maybe now when he meets Kexin, he changes his mind, but he does this but hurts the heart of the fourth brother and sister, and it is not easy for the fourth brother and sister to follow him, you say that his good life is so tossed, when the fourth brother and sister is really cold and has a heart he regrets, just like the fifth brother and sister, she even changed her surname in order to avoid the fifth brother, you say, the fifth brother and sister took the child away like this, the fifth brother can not regret it, if he really does not regret it, why did he get drunk every day before the old lady died." ”

Xiao Yuan asked An Ning to sit down, took her hand and said, "I'm afraid that someone deliberately used a beauty trick, and I also met someone who wanted to give me a woman when I went out today." ”

An Ning looked at Xiao Yuan with a smile: "What's the matter, the girl who sent you looks good, right? Beautiful and young, I became an old vegetable Bangzi." ”

Xiao Yuan has a strong desire to survive: "I really don't know if I'm beautiful or not, I haven't looked at it, you said that with such a fairy beauty as you, I can still look at other women, that's absolutely impossible, besides, I'm used to seeing you, and then look at other women, it's all ugly and unsightly." ”

An Ning twisted Xiao Yuan: "Count you through." ”

Xiao Yuan sat on his lap with An Ning in his arms, holding him in one hand and a map in the other.

An Ning also took advantage of the situation to look over.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at the situation in Jiangnan and see where those big families are distributed. ”

An Ning looked at it carefully for a while, and then thought about it: "Is it for the Zhang family's affairs?"

Xiao Yuan nodded: "The Zhang family wanted to make an internal response for us and let us take Jiangnan as soon as possible, but they made a request, thinking of being a soil emperor in Jiangnan and establishing China." ”

"They are really bold, they dare to talk to you Xiao Sanye about the conditions, they think they have lived too long or what?"

An Ning sneered: "However, it's not easy to say, if it is used well, it can't be our help." ”

Xiao Yuan slapped his palm on the map: "Am I the kind of person who is two-faced and three-knifed, I won't use this kind of ghost domain technique, hum, those people in Daqi have really lived a good life for a long time, and they are stupid like raising pigs, and now they actually come to talk to me about cooperation, and they want to make me a beauty, I am really tired of being crooked." ”

An Ning also smiled: "I'm afraid the Zhang family doesn't know, many places in Jiangnan eat our Nanyi salt, and we haven't shipped it in large quantities, so the Jiangnan salt merchants have lost a lot, but the price of salt has also stabilized a lot, if we ship from Hudao Port and transport salt to Jiangnan by sea, and transport it in large quantities, it will inevitably impact the Jiangnan market, and the money bags of the Great Qi Dynasty will have to break a few holes, but we can't free up our hands now." ”

Xiao Yuan hugged An Ning tighter: "The Zhang family is short-sighted, and now they are getting more and more defeated, and they dare to come to talk to us about the conditions without even knowing these news." ”

Suddenly, An Ning's body trembled.

Xiao Yuan hurriedly wrapped his arms around her waist: "What's wrong?"

An Ning waited for a while before saying: "Anxin has passed on a lot of luck to me, this Li Guifei is afraid that she is crazy, she is not afraid of retribution......

"Take it first. ”

Xiao Yuan said: "It seems that we will step up preparations next spring." ”

Yangzhou

The Mei family finally left.

Mei Boqing discussed with his family for a few days, and finally decided to leave for Nanyi.

When these people go over, they naturally have to prepare things, and the house they live in has to be sold, and many things in the house have to be cleaned up, which will take a long time.

In addition, Mei Boqing also had to take a disciple to Nanyi.

His disciple's parents are dead, and he has no other relatives, so he has always been taken care of by Mei Boqing so that he can continue to read.

This disciple's name is Zhang He, he is extremely smart, very talented in reading, the most important thing is that he does not die to read, in addition to reading the Four Books and Five Classics, he also learns arithmetic well, and likes to do some small things, in short, this is an all-round talent.

Zhang He has nothing to worry about, Mei Boqing wants to move away, so he will naturally take him with him.

When they set off, it was already late autumn, and they walked all the way south, and they felt cold at first, but the further south they went, the warmer the weather became.

Along the way, Su Yu was looking for opportunities to get close to Xiao Song, and often inquired about some things about the Hou Mansion in Zhennan.

Xiao Song was young in the end, and he also trusted Mei Boqing, but he didn't think of Su Yu in a bad way, but he thought that she was afraid that Nanyi would not be used to it, so he told Su Yu a lot of Nanyi's customs and customs very seriously.

It's just that what Su Yu wants to know is the affairs of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan, but Xiao Song is talking about the folk customs of Nanyi Fu, which is the donkey's lips and the horse's mouth, which makes Su Yu anxious.
