Chapter 139: Reckoning
Xu Chongzhi was stunned for a moment. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
How did Mrs. Ye let him take what she said?
Just when the Ye family brought tea into the house, Mrs. Ye looked at the maid, "Hasn't Miss gotten up yet?"
The maid whispered: "Not yet, maybe I'm tired these days and sleep very deeply." ”
Mrs. Ye instructed, "Don't call her, let her sleep well, there will be a lot of chickens and dogs at home at every turn, and this child will be tired." ”
The first time Xu Chongzhi talked to Mrs. Ye like this, he had only heard of Mrs. Ye's reputation before. After Mrs. Ye came out of the palace, she rarely communicated privately with the dignitaries and dignitaries in Hangzhou, and she lived away from the court and behind closed doors.
He always thought that the Ye family had withdrawn from the political center, but his sister's words woke him up.
My sister said that the Ye family has held all the political capital accumulated over the years in their hands, and they have not been able to consume it for so many years, it is not that Mrs. Ye has looked down on power, on the contrary, the Ye family has greater revenge.
The Ye family wants to invest all the capital raised over the years in one place, and it will hit with one blow.
For the Ye family, the only thing that can be worth their great effort is the position of the prince.
The emperor and the queen mother have been going around for too long, sooner or later they will break out, and when the court situation is chaotic, who can correct the new prince, who will become the real pillar of Daqi, will also be written into the annals of Daqi.
At that moment, Xu Chongzhi discovered Mrs. Gu's political talent, Mrs. Gu put a stove in the palm of his hand and told him to treat his uncle and aunt well, and the Xu family was his reliance.
Xu Chongzhi has always kept this sentence in his heart, and he also has the intention of promoting Gu Shiheng in his heart.
He wanted to bring Gu Shiheng to study with Mr. Dongyu, Mr. Dongyu was friends with Mr. Jiang, a staff member of the Prince's Mansion, and several people had been selecting young talents for the Prince, and being recommended by Mr. Dongyu was equivalent to getting close to the Prince.
Who knew that Gu Shiheng was bent on being a squire, and he shirked it in every possible way, and Mrs. Gu persuaded him several times not only to no avail, but also was left out in the cold by Gu Shiheng.
I knew that he shouldn't have agreed to marry the Gu family.
"Where did you go?"
Old Madam Ye's question brought Xu Chongzhi back to his senses.
Xu Chongzhi was just about to speak.
Old Madam Ye said, "There is something I still want to ask you for help. ”
Xu Chongzhi hurriedly shook his hand, "Don't say that, you can only send the boy if you have anything." ”
Old Madam Ye cleared her throat, her face showing a little unpleasantness, "Do you know that a group of people smashed Baicaolu yesterday? This happened in Lin'an, under your nose, how can you not ask?"
Baicaolu?
It was the Gu family's pharmacy.
Xu Chongzhi was surprised, "Old lady......"
Mrs. Ye said: "Mr. Hu Zhonggu from Baicaolu has been seeing my wife and son, and Mr. Hu has been unhappy in the past two days, so he didn't come to see him...... You go...... Think of a way to make Mr. Hu happy, even if it helps me. ”
What is it?
Let him coax Hu Zhonggu?
How could he do such a thing.
Old Madam Ye glanced at Xu Chongzhi, "If you can't do it, what kind of affection do you want," she said and stood up and waved her hand, "Send off the guests, take back the things you brought, porcelain...... Ornaments...... I don't know a lot in the palace, and it's not unusual to look at it, those with ordinary appearance can't be used to transfer to others, and putting them here is also a reward for the next person. ”
Old Madam Ye's tone suddenly hardened.
Xu Chongzhi didn't understand, he said the wrong sentence to offend Mrs. Ye.
Xu Chongzhi returned to Xu's house in a daze.
As soon as he entered the house, his subordinates came to say, "Master, there is news from the yamen...... The Pei family seems to have gone to Baicaolu again, this ...... What are we going to do?"
What to do?
Old Madam Ye was already angry, if he didn't deal with it, I was afraid that he would never want to go to the door of the Ye family in the future.
"Let people go over with the messengers, and the Pei family is not allowed to approach Baicaolu again. ”
The subordinate answered and hurriedly ran out to deliver the news.
……
At the gate of Hangzhou, the people who listened to the Vena Buddha song gradually dispersed, and a carriage followed the crowd into Hangzhou City, and the carriage stopped at a remote house, and the tall Pei Sitong walked out of the carriage.
As soon as his feet fell to the ground, the Pei family ran over, "Master, I have inquired clearly, the fourth master really came to Hangzhou, and it only took a few days to make Hangzhou City ......."
The words chicken and dog restless were swallowed by the subordinates.
"Now, no one doesn't know about our Pei family. ”
The housekeeper of the Pei family also made a bitter face, the fourth master has no other skills, and the ability to cause trouble is as strong as a year.
Pei Sitong frowned, "What did that bastard do?"
The housekeeper of the Pei family said: "I smashed someone's pharmacy and forced someone's husband to treat him...... He also said that if anyone dared to offend him, he would be hunted down and killed by the Imperial City Division. ”
As soon as the Pei family steward's voice fell, a group of people not far away walked over to this side.
The crowd looked up.
The leader stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and the housekeeper of the Pei family thought he was going to ask for directions, so he waved his hand, "We have just arrived in Hangzhou, and we want to ask for directions to find someone in front......
"I know you just arrived in Hangzhou," the man squinted and laughed, "You must be in charge of the Pei family who came to Hangzhou to investigate the case." ”
The housekeeper of the Pei family couldn't help but be shocked, and turned his head to look at Pei Sitong next to him.
The man followed the gaze of the Pei family steward and stepped forward to salute Pei Sitong, "Master Pei is really the same as rumored, dedicated to doing things for the imperial court, otherwise he would not have come to Hangzhou City so quietly and chose such a house to live in." ”
Although the words were pleasant, the intention of these people made Pei Sitong's eyes deepen, "How do you know that I am Pei Sitong." ”
"My lord," the man said with a smile, "we have lived in Hangzhou for decades, and not all the people who come and go on the street are familiar to us, but we all know the dignitaries and dignitaries in Hangzhou, otherwise if we accidentally offend anyone on the street, we will be killed." What's more, your entourage is still asking around about Fourth Young Master Pei in a Fujian accent...... I won't say much about the rest. ”
Pei Sitong subconsciously rubbed the jade pendant on his waist, "What are you going to do?"
"It's nothing," the man said, "Our eldest lady asked me to send a bill to Master Pei, and I also have to ask Master Pei when the Imperial City Division will go to get the Gu family's head." ”
The man took out two stacks of paper from his arms and handed them to Pei Sitong, "Master Pei go back and take a slow look, we brothers can't say that we will count on the Pei family to live in the future." ”
When the man finished speaking, he turned and waved his hand, and the crowd left in a huff.
Pei Sitong's face was a little ugly, and when he opened the bill in his hand, a cold sweat broke out on his head, "Twenty thousand taels of silver." The Gu family issued a bill of 20,000 taels of silver.
The Pei family also inquired about the origin of those people in Fangcai, "In the past, they were all idle people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but after the war broke out in Zhenjiang, the Gu family asked them to help distribute the medicinal materials for the prevention of plague, and later some of them stayed in the Gu family to help transport the herbs." ”
Unexpectedly, the Gu family borrowed the war and gathered a group of such people to do things for them.
These people are also considered to have serious jobs to do.
In case the Gu family pharmacy is really closed, these people come to the door to beg for food from the Pei family......
Pei Sitong's head suddenly became bigger, and the green tendons on his forehead floated, "Let someone bring the fourth master to me." ”
