Chapter 42: His Own Wealth
Guan Zhihe replied: "Daddy didn't say anything to He'er these days, I saw that he was anxious, and he didn't dare to ask, He'er didn't know anything, Brother He Xiu, He'er is sorry for you, blame me for not explaining the situation to you in advance." ”
He Xiu and Guan Zhihe saw each other a few days apart, and the love in each other's hearts gushed out, and they refused to separate; "No, I'm blaming myself for being useless and not being able to help He'er." ”
Guan Zhihe shook his head in response, "Brother He Xiu, you have already paid a lot for He'er, He'er can fully feel your intentions, by the way, Brother He Xiu, how can your Xuan Gong disappear?"
He Xiu hurriedly sealed her thin lips and looked left and right, "He'er, don't say this here, last time your father only took in more than forty merchants, and the remaining merchants hated your father to the core, let him pay attention to his back, and be careful that people with other plans use these merchants to be unfavorable to your father." ”
"He'er knows, Brother He Xiu, my father valued Chang An very much after he came out, he thought that Chang An persuaded his father to withdraw the lawsuit, He'er said that his father couldn't listen to him, how should this be?" Guan Zhihe spit out the reason.
"Don't worry, Chang'an's kind of greedy villain will soon show his true colors, but I'm worried that he has other plans. He Xiu sat on the bench, clenched his fists, and said thoughtfully.
Guan Zhihe also sat down next to him and asked, "Brother He Xiu, what was his original intention in withdrawing the lawsuit?"
"I think he did it because of you. He Xiu looked at the top beam and said with a sigh.
Guan Zhihe didn't know why, and then asked, "For He'er?"
"Yes. He Xiu hugged Guan Zhihe into his arms and said softly, "He must be the same as Guo Zhenxing, he wants to take you for himself." ”
Guan Zhihe was analyzed by He Xiuyi, her face was full of blush, and she said shyly, "Brother He Xiu, don't worry, even if my father is willing, He'er will not compromise, He'er's people will always belong to Brother He Xiu." ”
He Xiu said worriedly, "I'm afraid that now Chang An not only wants to have you, but also wants to have other plans, and I haven't figured out what it is." ”
"Could it be that you want Xuandan? Brother He Xiu, we simply gave him all the Xuandan, and it was regarded as the previous agreement. Guan Zhihe leaned on his shoulder and said sweetly.
"I'm wondering, will the Chang family still be obsessed with the matter of the ancestral hall and can't be exculpited, secretly thinking of a way to deal with your father, He'er, do you think this is possible?"
"Hmm... He'er doesn't know, their Chang family and my Guan family did have a conflict in business, it was all some small problems, everyone was okay with the face, my father was usually cautious and thoughtful, and he had a lot of contacts around Qiman Town, I think their Chang family should not have any small moves. ”
He Xiu finally deliberately settled, "It's better to remind your father on the side, so as not to fall into someone else's trap." ”
"Okay, He'er wrote it down," Guan Zhihe stood up, bowed her head and said, "Why don't He'er take Brother He Xiu to see his father in person and tell him in person, okay?"
He Xiu thought about the conclusion that Guan Kaihui had set for himself that day, so he politely refused, "It's better for He'er to say it." ”
Guan Zhihe pursed her lips and snickered, then nodded, "Okay, since Brother He Xiu doesn't have the courage to see my father, then let Chang An take He'er away." ”
He Xiu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "He'er, what do you mean by this, could it be that Chang An has an appointment with you?" He'er, you can't go, I have been in contact with Chang An, he is not a good person, and he is better than Guo Zhenxing. ”
Guan Zhihe's fingers wrapped around the green silk, tilted her neck, her eyes wandered, and she smiled shyly; ”
He Xiu complained in his heart, if he didn't go, he was really afraid that Guan Zhihe would leave with Chang An, but he didn't have the courage to face Guan Kaihui, think left and right, and calm down; "Go and go, your father is also a human being, and he won't eat me, it's a big deal to be kicked out by him again, go, take me now." ”
In the visitor hall of the Guan family, Guan Kaihui sat on it, staring at He Xiu, who was driven out by himself, and said sharply, "Why did you appear at the old man's house, come, send off guests." ”
Guan Zhihe scolded the family who rushed to him when he heard the sound, ran to him, and said coquettishly, "Daddy, Brother He Xiu is kind enough to come to see you, how can you treat him like this? Besides, Brother He Xiu is here to save our Guan family, so you should listen to what he has to say." ”
"You!" Guan Kaihui glanced at his beloved daughter, and in a blink of an eye, he had another attitude towards He Xiu, and said coldly; "Say, what are you looking for me?"
He Xiu respectfully said and said, "He Xiu came this time to tell Master Guan that the merchants who were rejected by Master Guan a few days ago have a grudge against you, and once they are used by powerful people, they will definitely be unfavorable to the Guan family, and I ask Master Guan to consider it carefully." ”
When Guan Kaihui heard this, his face did not change at all, but he did not say anything, He Xiu saw this and continued, "The Chang family is selling their reserve grain on a large scale at the moment, and the people of Qiman Town are grateful to the Chang family for this move, which will be of great help to his Chang family's business in the future. ”
Guan Kaihui still didn't say anything as just now, He Xiu only cared about explaining, "He Xiu begged Master Guan to buy all the Chang family's reserve grain, and then sell it to the people at twice the price, in exchange for the people's gratitude, I think, the Guan family's business development will definitely be better than before, and the Chang family will only have a greedy share." ”
Guan Kaihui's eyes twitched when he heard this, Guan Zhihe pursed his lips, and the two did not answer, He Xiu poured out all the words in his heart, bowed and turned to leave, but was stopped by Guan Kaihui: "Your suggestion, the old man accepted, go to Steward Qiao to get fifty taels of silver." ”
Guan Zhihe pulled Guan Kaihui's clothes and couldn't stop persuading, He Xiu didn't hear it, and left the Guan family with his legs stride.
"Brother He Xiu, wait for He'er. ”
He Xiu turned around and saw Guan Zhihe chasing him out, and the sorrow on his face immediately dissipated; "He'er, what are you chasing out for?"
Guan Zhihe handed over fifty taels of silver to him, "Brother He Xiu, you are alone outside, and you have no money to protect you, and at the moment there is chaos outside, and He'er is worried about your body." ”
He Xiu returned the silver taels to her and shook his head with a smile, "He'er, you are wrong, I wasn't penniless before, and I'm still living well? besides, I still deceived you, a lady, haha, you don't have to worry about me." ”
Guan Zhihe took his hand and said mysteriously, "What if another person asked me to transfer these silver taels to you?"
He Xiu was stunned for a while, and suddenly understood, "You mean, your father has changed his opinion of me?"
Guan Zhihe's cheeks puffed up, and her eyes flowed;
He Xiu patted the back of his head and immediately laughed, "If that's the case, I won't be able to take this silver tael, and I ask you to go back and tell your father, just say, let him use these silver taels to help those merchants who can't pay the rent, okay, I'm leaving." ”
"Brother He Xiu, where are you going?"
"Chang Jia!"
He Xiu came to the gate of Changfu and saw that the people who came to buy food had added many fresh faces, and he guessed that they must be people from other towns.
Chang An was still standing on the high platform with his waist crossed, directing the order of the scene, He Xiu waved his hand at him, Chang An jumped off the high platform and came to his side; ”
He Xiu followed behind, and Chang An put a bag of grain on the ground, "This bag of grain is what I gave you, thank you for saving our Chang family." ”
A trace of disdain flashed in He Xiu's eyes, and he said in a deep heart, "He Xiu still has to thank you for coming back from other places without any effort to bail Master Guan out." ”
Chang An looked proud, laughed, "Cough, this is what I Chang An should do, at that time my father wanted to report this matter to the official, I didn't approve of it, but I couldn't resist my father, so I had to follow him, on the way back from my tutor, I happened to meet the family who went to deliver the letter, so I did it for him, haha, besides, I and He'er are still playmates since childhood, her father was wronged and imprisoned, and I should be brave to rescue." ”
"Haha, Chang Gongzi bailed Master Guan out of bail as soon as possible, and then opened a warehouse to sell grain when the people were famine, which is really kind, which makes He Xiu feel admiration in his heart!" He Xiu looked into the distance and said in his mouth.
Chang An stared at him and said, "Brother He, why not, for the sake of the Guan family, regardless of his own safety, he scattered the eggs of insects and ants in the family's duty bedroom at night, which shows that Brother He has not only great goodness in his heart, but also great righteousness, ah, haha." ”
He Xiu then remembered that he put the eggs of the insects and ants on the top beam that night, and when he heard Chang An say this, he was sure that the family had not been harmed, and said with peace of mind;
"That's right, you and I have the same purpose, I can completely understand it, by the way, Master Guan invited our father and son to a banquet tonight, I don't know if Brother He is not there?" Chang An raised his eyebrows, his triangular eyes widened, and said provocatively.
He Xiu also grinned, exhaled a breath, and said lightly, "It's really unfortunate, I, He Xiu, just came out of the Guanfu, and He'er has been sending each other out of the door, and has said a lot of intimate words, do you want to hear it?"
"Hmph," Chang An's nostrils dilated, and he was angry in his heart; "Brother He, don't be sentimental, He'er has the same enthusiastic attitude towards everyone, the day before yesterday, he had to ask me to go on a wild trip, and this son didn't make an appointment because he wanted to take the master home, so he didn't make an appointment, what?
"Haha, Chang Gongzi is right, not only did we go on a wild trip, but when we came back, He'er was weak and weak, I carried her back to the bedroom, and I shared a table with me to drink, talking about singing, and now I think of He'er's singing, and I'm still drunk, hehe. He Xiu looked up to the sky and closed his eyes and said intoxicatedly.
"Haha, okay, Brother He, then we are more qualified to marry He'er than anyone!"
After Chang An finished speaking, he left, He Xiu was about to take a step, but was unexpectedly stopped by Chang An; "By the way, if Brother He feels that there is a shortage of food, you can come and ask for it, my Chang family has it, don't send it!"
He Xiu took a big step, feeling humiliated in his heart, and secretly made up his mind that he must create his own wealth, so that Guan Kaihui would look at himself differently and willingly marry his beloved daughter to him.
