Chapter Seventy-Two: The Gift
It turned out that according to Liang Ming's prediction, the agreement between Old Man Liang and Liang Sixuan would take two or three days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć But to her surprise, early in the morning of the second day, Liang Sixuan immediately entered the palace.
And it was strange enough for a person who had been staying at home to go out uncharacteristically under the pretext of "illness" recently, let alone go to Miyagi?
"Did you find out what Shen Mingyue asked the master to go to Nanlan Creek yesterday?"
"Not yet."
Han frowned, turned his head to look at Zhen Mei and said, "What's the matter?" ā
Zhen Mei hurriedly said: "There are no of us in the back hall of the Hanging Autumn Pavilion and the bank of Nanlan River, and it has always been more difficult to find out what is going on inside, especially this time, it seems that the lord and the lady have given an order not to allow people to talk more, so this time the investigation is becoming more and more difficult." ā
After speaking, Zhenmei looked at Han with some trepidation, and Han had already turned around and looked out the window without saying a word.
It wasn't until a long time later that Han suddenly said: "Forget it, there is no need to inquire about this matter, since the master has already entered the palace, then when he comes back, he will be able to learn from Ah Luo, let them all come back." ā
"Yes." Zhen Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Han with an embarrassed face, and after hesitating for a long time, he mustered up the courage to say to Han: "Auntie, there is one more thing. ā
"What?"
"Khufu...... Mrs. Hu sent a message through Xiuyuan yesterday, saying that she wanted to see you. ā
"Didn't I tell you, I'll just go back later."
Han was a little impatient, and Zhenmei hurriedly said: "But Mrs. Hu asked Xiuyuan to bring two sentences to her aunt, she said, 'The Hu family is in trouble now, and it is common for trees to fall and scatter, but the relationship between me and your aunt has always been excellent, and this time only your aunt will open her mouth and tell me that if there is a problem with money, she will definitely help.'" This kind of affection is really beyond words, it is really worthy of the fact that we gave each other jade pendants at the beginning, and showed affection! āā
Zhenmei said, and the more she talked to the back, the quieter her voice became, because at this time, Han's expression had sunk so much that she could drip water.
"That's what she said?"
"Yes, the slave doesn't dare to add sentences." Zhenmei said cautiously.
Han's face was even worse.

"Recently, the arrival of cargo ships has been smooth, and there have been no delays."
"What about the caravan?"
"The caravan number is not very satisfactory, as of today, there have been three postponements, and they are all those teams in the direction of Lanling."
"Lanling?" Shen looked at Shen's mother in surprise, "The teams that returned from Lanling have been postponed, did the caravan captain send someone to send a letter back first?" ā
"Yes." Shen's mother took out a red lacquer letter from her sleeve and handed it to Shen. Shen hurriedly opened it and looked at it, and after a while, she said to Shen's mother: "It's not a big deal, it's just that recently near Lanling, there are always a large number of cargo fleets coming in and out, which has caused some trouble to the inventory of the defenders." ā
"A large fleet of goods? Now is not the peak season for business, how can there be a large number of cargo teams going to Lanling? Shen's mother wondered.
"It's not a surprise."
Shen put down the letter and said: "Although most of the Shen family's salt numbers are distributed around Jian'an now, the head number is always in Lanling, especially when Jinyang is lively recently, and it doesn't take much distance for the caravans to go from Jinyang to Lanling, so it is not surprising that Lanling is crowded at this time." ā
"Jinyang? Oh, look at my memory, it's the Shuo Goose Festival that has fallen, I forgot. Shen's mother smiled.
Jinyang is not far from Lanling in ancient times, and its unique Shuoyan Festival period has always become a lively season for the two big cities, and the various caravans will also take the opportunity to go through Lanling and Jinyang at this time, which is not in vain for a long journey.
For these, the Shen family naturally knew best, and then ordered: "These three caravans will be shelved first, then all the caravans have already returned, right?" ā
"yes, they're all back."
After Shen's mother flipped through the roster and manifest in her hand again, she nodded to Shen's family, and after Shen's family checked the account books in her hand again, she finally ended the count, and then Shen's mother said, "Madam, the master has entered the palace." ā
"I know." Shen didn't even raise his head.
"Do you need to send someone to the palace to investigate?" Shen's mother said with some concern.
"No, since it was agreed between him and the old lady, there will be no problem, and we don't need to do anything else."
Shen said it simply, but Shen's mother didn't dare to really think so, now Emperor Wen is no longer than the ambitious monarch back then, although what Emperor Wen has done in recent years can not be crowned with the word "mediocre", but the temperament is becoming more and more intensifying, who knows what our emperor is thinking now?
Shen's mother was still very worried, but she looked at Shen's leisurely expression, and finally said nothing.
"Mother."
Just at this time, Liang Cheng and Liang Yong came back.
"Why is it so late today?" Shen raised his hand, wiped the thin sweat from his forehead for Liang Yong, who ran into her arms, and handed Liang Cheng a bowl of Songmeng tea with an indifferent face.
Liang Cheng took it with a smile and said, "Today, my grandfather let Yong'er go to school very early, but we met the eldest brother and his group of friends from a distance on the road. ā
"Brother Xian, did you call a friend into the house today?" Shen frowned.
"I don't know, the old slave will send someone to ask."
Shen's mother immediately withdrew from the house, but Liang Cheng lowered her head and drank the pine in her hand, and after waiting for a while, Shen's mother came back - "The people that the third lady saw just now are not uncle's friends, but uncle's classmates. The uncle asked the master last night, saying that he would invite his classmates to come to the house today, and the master has already agreed. ā
"Wen Shu?" Shen raised his eyebrows and actually smiled, "Whose Wen Shu will come to the backyard, it's the first time I've heard of it." ā
After saying that, no one else dared to squeak, Liang Cheng just lowered her head and drank tea, originally she was not interested in Liang Xian's friendship at all, the one who is close to Zhu is red and the one who is close to ink is black, a scheming person like Liang Xian, what kind of friends can he make?
Liang Cheng didn't even have to think about it to know, if she hadn't just seen him and already brought people to the backyard, she wouldn't have bothered to care about his affairs, but the backyard is the only scope of Liang Yonghui's activities now, and Liang Cheng didn't want to commit any carelessness, otherwise she wouldn't be able to come to Shen and say it, which would only increase her mother's unhappiness.
