Speaking of the crown prince, Mrs. Shen's expression became more and more obscure. When the prince's biological mother was in the boudoir, he was close friends with Mrs. Shen. Until they got married, they were still close. In terms of personal feelings, Mrs. Shen San is happy to see Miaolan and the prince get married. However, under the push of the situation, the two lack of fate in the end.

Aside from others, the eldest princess of Chaoyang also likes the prince himself. The mother and daughter were a little embarrassed. After returning from the eldest princess's mansion, Mrs. Shen San began to prepare to go to the Jokhang Temple to pray for blessings.

Second Mrs. Shen sat under the flowers and vines in the courtyard, gently shook the fan in her hand, and said to the second master Shen who was drinking tea opposite, "Why do I think the third room is a little strange recently? How could the stewardship that she had so painstakingly taken away be so easily put here to me now?"

The second master got a piece of news today, and when he was in a hurry, he didn't have the heart to think about it, so he only said perfunctorily, "Maybe there is something more important." ”

"What can be important, it is said that after Miaolan's trip this time, if she returns to Beijing, she will definitely be enshrined as a clan daughter, such a glory, what other things are important. The second lady had long been accustomed to the second master's perfunctory, sat up straight, and snatched the teacup from the second master's hand, so that he had to look directly at himself.

The second master frowned slightly, pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the tea that fell on his hand, and said impatiently, "If you want to be ensealed, you have to come back with your life." ”

The second lady was taken aback by this, she was tired of the third room, but if she really went to ask for anyone's life, she didn't think about it. Now that I heard the second master say this, I seem to be a little afraid that someone will be worried about their lives. She covered the exclamation that she was about to blurt out with a fan, glared at the second master and said, "What are you talking about, master?"

The second master knew that he was speechless, so he got up and said, "I still have something to do in the outer courtyard, so you don't have to wait for me for dinner." If my mother talks about it, she will say that there is something wrong with my yamen. ”

The second lady got up after her and stopped the second master, "The master is busy with the transfer?" A few days ago, the second master ate too much wine, and he didn't check for a while, and told the second lady that he might transfer from the ministry to the household department.

is probably at a certain age, and the second lady does not want to make progress, and only blindly thinks about some trivial things in the house. Today's second lady is no longer as good as it was back then, and she can keep pace with the second master. If she knows about the affairs of officialdom, with her uncontrollable temperament, it will add to the chaos. When the second master heard his wife's question, he became more and more impatient, "Inner house woman, don't inquire about the affairs of the court." Raise your children well. With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

The second lady looked at the back of the second master and was annoyed. The henchman's mother on the side hesitated, but still stepped forward and said, "Madam, there has been something wrong with the master recently. ”

When the second lady heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. Her husband's behavior is strange, and he is becoming more and more cold, do you still use other people's nonsense? The second lady naturally noticed it a long time ago. "Didn't he keep the outer room? ”

Thinking of this possibility, the second lady was shocked, and she didn't dare to think about it more and more.

Qiao's mother shook her head, "Isn't it clear what kind of person the master is? Now that the lord is in a prosperous and prosperous career, how can he take this risk. ”

The second lady became more and more puzzled, and the master and servant fell into deep thought.

The second master Shen, who was being studied, walked to the study alone, sat on the rosewood Taishi chair, tapped his fingers on the table one by one, and pondered with his brows.

The henchman on the side stood with a bow, looking at the expression of the second master and not daring to say a word.

After the master and servant were silent for a long time, the second master slowly spoke, "Are you sure, did anyone see the two young ladies in the third room coming out of the lotus pond on a cruise boat that day?"

Xigui listened, and nodded hurriedly, looking like a dog. "That's right, it's the fourth and fifth girls in the third room. Originally, there were two rough mothers-in-law pulling boats on the shore that day, and later these two mothers-in-law were sent out of the house. Coincidentally, the little acquaintance was in the dental business, and the two mothers-in-law were being sold to him. The little one looked for someone to ask why these two mothers-in-law were sent out of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. This question asks about the events of that day. ”

is really his good niece, Second Master Shen laughed angrily, "What a bold Shen Miaolan." As he spoke, he raised his head and instructed Xigui, "Go and tell Uncle Bai that I'll see you in Yuhua Lane in an hour." You tell him to be faster, and I'll go out of the house now. ”

Seeing that Second Master Shen's face was pale, Xigui didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly said yes and hurried to the white house.

This Uncle Bai is talking about Aunt Bai's brother. Since he was a child, he has been the companion of the second master Shen, and now he has been freed from his slave status, and he has been supported by the second master step by step to today, ranking among the big businessmen, and he has always been loyal to the second master.

The second master paved the way for Uncle Bai in business, and Uncle Bai also gave the second master a lot of benefits in terms of money. In order to facilitate the exchange, the two bought the next house in Yuhua Lane and met privately.

In that Yuhua Lane, there are many outrooms raised by merchants, and there are many men coming and going, which is easy to hide. Over the years, no one has discovered that the second master and Uncle Bai have these friendships in private.

The second master changed into his private clothes, walked out of the house from the corner gate, walked out of the small alley as usual, and walked straight to Yuhua Lane. A person dressed as a little guy kept sneaking behind and hiding, until he entered the gate of the house in Yuhua Lane, and the little guy secretly clicked the door number a few times, turned around and left.

When Second Master Shen entered the door, Uncle Bai was already waiting in the house. Seeing him enter the door, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "The second master is in such a hurry to call me, but what's the matter?"

Second Master Shen lifted his robe and sat down, motioned for Uncle Bai to sit down as well, and said, "The caravan that is going to Mongolia to transport goods is leaving?"

Because the Mongols are still nomadic and not proficient in grain cultivation, they can store very little food in autumn and winter. At the end of each summer, the Bai family would transport a batch of food that was easy to store to Mongolia for sale. Yes, the second master asked such a question.

It's only August, and it's not too late. Uncle Bai shook his head, "I haven't set off yet, but the second master still has any sought-after goods to transport?"

The second master shook his head, "There is no shortage of goods, but there is an important matter to do." I want to entrust you with Bailongzhuang. ”
