Seeing their embarrassed faces, although Lan Xin had already been mentally prepared, his heart still couldn't help but sink at this time. said in a deep voice: "Dumb uncle, there is no need to scruple, just say anything directly." ”

The dumb uncle hung his head, thought for a while, and wrote: "The girl doesn't need to worry, how can there be no bumps in life in the world? However, fortunately, with the help of Mrs. Yuwen, life can be passed.

Through the curtain separation, Lan Xin clearly saw that when the dumb uncle was writing the four words of Mrs. Yuwen, his hand hesitated. Her eyes twinkled, and she didn't dwell on the question. After a deep sigh, he asked, "I heard you mention the shop just now." When my father bought the shop here, he was going to sell some special products that he brought in bulk. Later, my father didn't come, I don't know, what kind of business is there in the shop now?"

Wen Sheng glanced at his father, and when he saw that his father nodded imperceptibly, he said: "Back to the girl's words, because the master didn't say it specifically, after the things at that time were sold, my father felt that it was inappropriate for the shop to be empty like this, so he took it upon himself to separate the shop from the middle. One of them opened a grocery store and the other was rented out. ”

"But it was rented to Mrs. Yuwen?" Lan Xin asked softly, her voice raised slightly, Wen Sheng's heart "chuckled", his face could not hide the look of shock, and he nodded and said, "The girl expected it to be good, it is Mrs. Yuwen." ”

"Well, it's okay! With Mrs. Yuwen's care, the business in the shop will be smoother. After Lan Xin groaned for a while, he said in a flat voice. Through the curtain, I couldn't see her face clearly. In the flat voice, there was no joy or anger to be heard.

The hearts of the dumb uncle's family became even more panicked. They respectfully handed over the account book, and when they saw Lan Xin serving tea, they turned around and withdrew.

After everyone left, Lan Xin took off the curtain, picked up an account book, gently flipped through a few pages, and put it aside.

"Now there are no outsiders, so sit down. Lan Xin took a sip of tea and waved his hand. After everyone sat down, Lan Xin asked, "Does the fifth uncle know the location of the shop that my father bought back then?"

"Yes, girl. Han Wu said softly, "Back then, among the four major families in Dayu, only the Ouyang family was the most famous in this area. Once, when our fleet came to Dayu, we happened to meet Ouyang Wugongzi, who was being chased and killed. The old man couldn't see death without saving him, so he salvaged the five sons who were dying and lying on the wooden board from the sea.

After the fifth prince woke up, he begged the master not to tell him about his life. The old man groaned for a while, and then agreed. And left people in the mansion to recuperate, at that time, the mansion was full of people from our Dazong Dynasty, and they didn't worry about leaking the news.

After the fifth son's injury recovered and he was able to walk around on the ground, he gritted his teeth and left our house, where exactly he went, he didn't say, and the master didn't ask. However, when he was leaving, he gave the title deed of the shop to the master to thank him for saving his life. After looking at it, the lord knew that the floor of the shop was very good, in the center of Yanque Street. ”

Before coming to Dayu, Lan Xin had seen the map in his father's study, and also read the travelogue of Qingfeng Daochang, and knew that Yanque Street was the most prosperous street in Ningyang County. And the heart of there must be a place where every inch of land is at a premium.

After the fifth uncle took a sip of tea, he continued: "The fifth prince of Ouyang is the grandson of the Ouyang family, and after he disappeared, the Ouyang family was in chaos for a long time. Mrs. Yuwen is the daughter of Ouyang's family, and she is also the sister of Ouyang's fifth son. She is one of the few people who knows that the shop is the private property of Ouyang Wugongzi.

After seeing that the master took over the shop, he invited our master to the house in the name of Master Yuwen. After learning the news that the fifth prince was still alive, she was very grateful to the master. Treat the lord as a guest.

The old man went to change his clothes during the banquet, and accidentally ran into the matter of the dumb uncle and the dumb aunt. The old man took advantage of the strength of the wine to take the person down. And the dumb uncle and dumb aunt were very grateful to the master, so they took Xiao Wensheng to live in the gatehouse. ”

Lan Xin didn't say anything after listening, rubbing his fingers back and forth on the rim of the cup. Everything is so reasonable, but Lan Xin has an indescribable weirdness.

Lu Zhendong put down the teacup in his hand and asked in a low voice, "Does the fifth uncle know that the dumb aunt had a child in her belly for a few months?"

"The exact number of months, the old slave is not clear. Han Wu shook his head and said, "However, based on experience, it's been at least more than six months." ”

Seeing Lan Xin look at him in surprise, he said with a smile: "Looking at Wen Yuan, he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, which is about the same age as you." Uncle Yu is not an eventful person, he should have been moved by compassion when he saw the dumb aunt with a big belly. ”

Yes, at that time, my mother should have been pregnant. Lan couldn't help but think. "Okay, everyone hasn't rested during this time, after eating, let's go to bed early. If there is anything, I will talk about it tomorrow. After speaking, Lan Xin took the lead in getting up and leaving.

******

"Jade family?" Mrs. Yuwen, who was lying in the rocking chair, squinted her eyes slightly, looking like she was sleeping but not sleeping. Hear the report of the subordinate. I opened my eyelids, asked lazily, and closed my eyes again. Nonchalantly asked, "You read that right?"

The subordinate glanced at the little girl next to her who was kneeling on the ground and skillfully painted her nails for Mrs. Yuwen. After hearing Mrs. Yuwen's question, she quickly gathered her thoughts, lowered her head and said, "Mrs. Hui, the small one is absolutely not mistaken! Someone shouted at the city gate that when there were large ships, the small ones should pay attention. It wasn't until the group arrived at the door of the jade mansion and was welcomed in by the dumb aunt that the little one left. ”

As soon as the next person's words fell, the big maid beside Mrs. Yuwen came in and reported: "Mrs. Yu, let the slave and maid come over to the kitchen and ask, is your bowl of lotus seed soup brought in now or later?"

"In a minute. Mrs. Yuwen replied nonchalantly. I thought, it seems that the Yu family is real.

"Yes, ma'am. Haitang said respectfully, "The slave maid went to tell Granny Lu and asked her to bring it over later." Anyway, there is something in the dumb aunt's house today, and she has nothing to do. ”

"It's been nearly twenty years, and the people of the Yu family have suddenly come over, why is this?" After Haitang retreated, Mrs. Yuwen sighed faintly, as if she was asking about the next person, and as if she was talking to herself, but there was still a trace of imperceptible resentment in her tone. "Do you see clearly who is coming from the Yu family?" I don't know how long it took to come, Mrs. Yuwen asked casually. His eyes were fixed on the people not far away.
