Xiu'e looked left and right, and whispered: "Yesterday, there was news all over the street, saying that Lafayette has officially returned to power, and people have retired to live in the garden, and the emperor is now an adult, and they said that Lafayette will not go back." ”

The news was expected, but it wasn't so sudden.

Siqing immediately thought of the affected people, and hurriedly asked, "What about the second brother, how is he doing in the yamen?"

After asking, I thought, how could Xiu'e know about this matter, I had to go over and take a look, so I had to go out again.

I don't want Xiu'e to really know: "What kind of yamen are you going to, just after the news came out yesterday morning, the holy decree came at noon, and the second young master's official son is gone." ”

She looked back in surprise: "Was it just that he was removed from his official position?"

"yes. Xiu'e looked at her suspiciously, "Fourth Miss, you don't seem to be sad at all, don't you have a good relationship with the second young master?"

Siqing shook her head and breathed a sigh of relief, she was indeed not sad, she was only dismissed, and the situation was actually much better than she imagined.

"Moreover, something happened to our kiln factory, and the master is going to die in a hurry. Xiu'e continued.

Siqing became nervous again: "What's wrong with the kiln?"

"The palace cut off the Meng family's special road, the palace was broken, and many old customers also canceled the order, and we had a lot of porcelain that had just been completed or not finished smashed in our hands, and I heard the people on the master's side say that we are going to lose a lot of money at this time, and the loss is even if it is, they say that many customers do not cooperate, and the future business is not good. ”

Many old customers originally chose to cooperate with the Meng family for a long time because of the name of the special supply in the palace, but now that they have lost this title, it is normal for them to turn elsewhere, but the change is too sudden, so that the Meng family is caught off guard, and the things produced at hand have become ownerless waste, which is a bit strange.

Although it is strange, it is not difficult to understand that if someone puts pressure, they dare not disobey.

Siqing originally thought that this change only involved Huai'an's dismissal, and she felt that it had little impact, but after listening to Xiu'e's words, she felt that things were not as simple as she thought.

She immediately went to look for Huai'an, and when she arrived at Huai'an's yard, she was told that someone had gone to the kiln factory to help, and she hurriedly rushed to the kiln factory.

Passing by a junction, she suddenly remembered something, she stopped, hesitated for a moment, and walked in another direction.

After walking for a while, she saw the red attic that gave her nightmares.

Today's Shuyufang is still very lively, people come and go endlessly, but there are no girls, all the soldiers are in sight, they shout and scream in and out, crackling and showing off their might.

Siqing couldn't understand this scene, so she pulled the people around her to inquire, and an old man was enthusiastic and hurriedly replied: "The emperor ordered these green buildings to be demolished, and no woman is allowed to do this business again." ”

"That'...... Where have all the girls gone?"

"Who knows. The man stretched out his voice, "I was here early in the morning, and I didn't see a single girl, so I guess I was sent away at night, hey, they are all miserable people,

You see...... Hey, I'm not done yet......"

Siqing heard that he was about to express his opinion, and he was so anxious that he didn't have time to listen to it, so he took a few steps forward by himself, and dared to stop a soldier, and cautiously asked where the girls had been sent.

"Where else can I go, go home if I have a home, send out to work if I don't have a home or don't want to go home. The other party said.

"Where are you going to work?"

"Perhaps, whoever picks the boss will go to whichever side he chooses. The soldier saw that she was a beautiful girl, and said a few more words to her, "Are you looking for someone, if you don't go home, you should not be able to find it, yesterday I got on the ship and transported it away, there are all directions in the north and south, all arranged casually, we don't have time to register." ”

After the soldier finished speaking, it happened that someone behind him called him, and Siqing saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he moved back two steps and gave way.

And the onlookers who chatted with her just now were broken-mouthed, and when she came back, he followed her for a while, and continued what he didn't say just now: "Girl, do you have a family inside, I advise you, don't look for it, just treat it as if the person is gone, you listen to what they say is good, and no woman is allowed to do this business anymore, but it is forbidden on the surface, can it be banned in private, and those who have been transported away will still return to their old business." ”

Siqing paused and looked at this person with some annoyance.

And the man didn't realize it, and still said: "I'm right, you are all kind-hearted people in the world, if those big men knew what they used to do, would they have no idea? Once they have an idea, they will still have the opportunity to work hard?"

Although this is not good to hear, it also makes sense, and when Siqing heard it, he was immediately discouraged.

And the man was still saying: "But it's also strange, I see that the girl is dressed decently, and you are also from a big family, so why don't the family you are looking for say that you have a home, as long as you say that you have a home, you won't be sent away?"

She was startled, and the fire in her heart was extinguished at once.

Yes, as long as Jiang Yarong says that she is the Meng family, she will not fall into the boundless dark road again.

But why didn't she say it?

Walking in a daze, moving back to the original way, the two thoughts competed in her heart, constantly torturing her, until the kiln factory, she raised her head and saw Meng Hongxian sitting under the eaves withered, holding his head without saying a word.

On the other side, Huai'an is negotiating with customers, his current purpose is to keep one and keep one, but he can't keep it, and he still hopes that they can buy it back what he is doing.

However, these customers did not hesitate to charge back orders before it was not impulsive, they had pressure behind them, and they would not be easily explained.

After the customers dispersed, he poured a glass of water for Meng Hongxian, sat beside him and comforted: "Don't worry, the factory is still there, there will always be a chance." ”

Siqing agreed with this, the above did not directly seal the Meng family's kiln factory, it was already considered to be face-saving, and thinking that at this time, Shen Wei and they helped her temporarily close the porcelain art society, which was indeed the best choice.

But having said that, although the Mengjia Kiln Factory is not closed, as far as the current situation is concerned, there are only three or three scattered customers, and the losses caused by them cannot be made up for a while and a half.

Seeing this, she dispelled the problems that had plagued her along the road and turned two thoughts into one.

Since people want to go, let's go, the current situation of the Meng family may not be a good place to come.

Meng Hongxian was a little surprised when he saw her come in, and his eyes flashed slightly: "Why are you here?"

"I heard there's an accident here, so I'll take a look. She replied.

"What's wrong, can you say something good in your mouth?" Meng Hongxian lost his temper inexplicably, "Even if something happens, what can you help a girl?"

As he spoke, he craned his neck and looked: "What about Ting An, what are you doing at home, you are here, why didn't he come?"

Siqing didn't dare to answer, and shook her head silently.

Even if he didn't speak, Meng Hongxian still chose something wrong: "Didn't you come from home, why don't you even know this, what are you doing all day long, it's really useless!"

After yelling, he asked himself and replied: "Don't think about it, he is preparing for his art exhibition, he only has his paintings in his eyes, where is the Meng family?"

As he said this, his tone slowly lowered, and there was not the slightest rebuke, only some sadness.

After the three of them worked with the workers to tidy up the messy kiln factory, Huai'an took out some money to stabilize the workers first, and asked them to be on standby at any time and not to mess up.

Then, several people walked silently on the way back.

When I got home, it was already dark, and the old lady was waiting for Meng Hongxian in the main hall.

She had no attendants, only a lamp, and her brown gown was so indistinct in the dark room that she seemed to hang in the room, like a ghost.

She sat by the candlelight, her face was illuminated with an uncertain light and shadow, raised her eyebrows at Meng Hongxian, and glanced at the door, Meng Hongxian understood, turned around and closed the door: "Mother, do you have something to say to me?"

"Is there any improvement over there?" asked the old lady first.

"There is no progress, the loss is certain, I have to inform the family to save a little. Meng Hongxian replied truthfully, paused, remembered the scene during the day, although anxious, but also a little relieved, and said, "Huai'an went to help today, it really didn't make me think, this kid looks arrogant and domineering, and he is quite reliable at a critical time." ”

The old lady frowned, and said with a straight face: "I am looking for you to talk about Huai'an." ”

"What's the matter with him?" Meng Hongxian asked nonchalantly.

Although there was no one around, the old lady still looked around vigilantly, then approached him, and said in a low voice: "What if...... The Meng family survived safely this time, Huai'an...... Can be used as a discard. ”

Meng Hongxian didn't react: "What to abandon? Mother, you don't have to be so pessimistic, I can still feed my family, he is a kid, and he can't eat much food." ”

"Do you really don't understand or don't understand?" the old lady was so anxious that she knocked on her crutches, "It cut off our special supply, reduced our customers, but didn't close our factory, why?"

After a pause, knowing that Meng Hongxian couldn't answer, she continued: "This is a chance for us to 'abandon the darkness and turn to the light', the emperor is an adult, Lafayette can no longer interfere in the government, she is gone, we have to find another way, Huai'an is the only relationship between us and her, if we want to get rid of this connection, we have to ......"

Seeing Meng Hongxian's surprised eyes, he understood that he had reacted, and the old lady's tone slowly softened: "I don't mean now, nor do I say certainly, if the Meng family is okay this time, it means that we are let go above, we must have the mental preparation to show our attitude, if they don't say it, we can pretend to be confused, but if it is explained, we have to push Huai'an out, this is the only way to keep the Meng family." ”

The wind came in through the crack in the window, blowing out the candle flame, and in the dark room, Meng Hongxian couldn't see the old lady's face clearly, and could only hear the gossamer-like words coming into his ears.

"Don't miss the kindness of more than 20 years, this is not worth the death of his biological parents, nor the survival of the Meng family, as long as I still have a breath, I must not watch the Meng family disappear like this, you have to listen to this matter, and you have to listen if you don't listen!"
