Listening to her tone, revealing a bit of intimacy, and did not reward herself again, Zhiyan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

The politeness and reward are good, but they exude a sense of alienation. Only outsiders can be so polite. The young lady is like this, which means that she has recognized herself.

She still maintained a respectful expression on her face, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. This is already a big emotional swing for her, who has been trained by Lu since she was a child.

After Zhiyan retreated, Xu Wanzhen opened the account book and took a closer look.

Her task now is to work out dividends according to the operation of each shop and Zhuangzi. This dividend is also exquisite, and the profit of a store does not only depend on whether the shopkeeper is diligent or not.

The source of goods, the location, the quality of the customers, and whether the instructions handed down by the business are correct, all these factors determine how much money a store can make in the end.

And these things can't be seen just by looking at the account books. Xu Wanzhen thought that after finishing the distribution method, she asked Xu Wenmin to come and check it. He is more familiar with the operating conditions of these stores.

After writing the dividend plan and taking a nap after lunch, Xu Wanzhen asked Bai Yao to take inventory of the warehouse.

Seeing that the New Year is about to be celebrated, the New Year's gifts for each family should also be prepared.

The Xu family and the Tu family are the blood relations of the relatives, and the gifts prepared are mainly all kinds of fresh goods. Tangerines and pomelos from the south, medicinal materials sent from Suzhou Zhuangzi, and New Year's goods sent from Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, etc.

The Anguo Mansion, the Pingguo Mansion, and the Dingguo Mansion will prepare different New Year's gifts according to the distance of friendship. Although she is not the head of the house in the Zhongguo Mansion, she has a close relationship with the Shi family and the Liu family, so naturally she can't leave the Cao family behind.

And the He family, who is far away in Songzhou, can't be forgotten. Tu Fangyan gave birth to two children in a row, presumably the wife of the second son of He became more and more vigilant against her.

Zhi Yuan lived inside, and ordered the sewing room to sew New Year's clothes for the people in the courtyard. rewarded the silver to Cai Si and Sang Zi, and asked them to send New Year's gifts to their future in-laws.

It's almost dusk. Fortunately, Xu Wanzhen doesn't like to socialize, and when she leaves her relatives, there are not many people who come and go.

"Young lady." Qingluo's footsteps were a little hurried, and she walked up to her and curtled her knees and said, "I heard that the old lady of the Cheng family has gone." ”

Xu Wanzhen flipped through the booklet and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The old lady of the Cheng family, that is, the original Mrs. Anpinghou, is the sister-in-law of the Lin family.

"Today is the day when the Gao and Cheng families were escorted away." Qing Luo said: "According to the news from the Teaching Workshop Division, Mrs. Cheng is struggling to send her family on a ride. ”

"After being stopped, I turned around to find her hanged in the room." Qingluo is in the prime of her youth, and when she talks about a person's death, her tone can't help but be a little heavy.

Xu Wanzhen closed her eyes, Mrs. Cheng's death was just the beginning.

Perhaps, from the dignified lady to the servant woman of the teaching workshop, such a big gap has already made her have the intention to die. It's just that the desire to see her family for the last time made her struggling to support it.

But how exactly, only Mrs. Cheng herself understood her thoughts before she died.

"There's one more piece of news." Qingluo thought for a while and said, "After all the people who were sentenced to exile left, they found that one person was still dead in the prison of the Criminal Department. ”

"Who?"

"The female history of the original abolished prince's mansion, Wang Miaoyan."

Xu Wanzhen closed the booklet in her hand, and Wang Miaoyan's howl and cry seemed to echo in her ears again. She finally died, not living another year.

She absolutely didn't believe that Wang Miaoyan's stubborn temperament would beg for death by herself. Behind this, it is not known who made the move.

Maybe she knows too much and kills people. Perhaps, it was her past evil Ledo who was found by the enemy.

He shook his head and left the news of Wang Miaoyan's death behind. This woman who regarded her as an enemy, Xu Wanzhen didn't take her to heart.

……

The Gao family was assigned to Yunling, and the Cheng family was even more miserable in Yazhou. One is in the extreme south, the other is in the extreme east, and the two teams are not on the same path.

The jailer who escorted the two teams of people went their separate ways after they were released from the prison of the Criminal Department.

Gao Zhiyuan wore a wooden flail in his hand, and struggled to hold his young son tightly in his arms. The son is still too young, holding his small body, Gao Zhiyuan's heart can't help but throb.

The Gao family is finished, but Kai Geer is really innocent.

Out of the city gate, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they all turned back and looked at the majestic Luoyang City silently.

Don't! Capital.

The jailers who escorted them were accustomed to such a situation. I know that although these dignitaries are down, their ancestors have also made great contributions to the country. I didn't urge him, and I stopped to drink water by the way.

Half an hour later, I started again.

Shi Jingyu led people and waited anxiously under an old tree with a crooked neck. The subordinates returned, and the Gao family had been escorted out of the city and was coming over here.

With his son and husband in mind, the waiting time seemed extraordinarily long.

Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long, and the escorted group of prisoners appeared not far ahead.

Because they were going to go a long way, the shackles on everyone's bodies were replaced with light wooden shackles. The shackles on the feet have also been removed, and only the people are connected with hemp ropes to prevent escape.

Gao Zhiyuan hugged his son, and it didn't take long for his feet to start sore. He really didn't know if he could walk such a long distance, relying only on his own feet.

He also practiced martial arts, but he had horses to travel when he went out hunting, etc., but he had never traveled so far.

Holding his son tighter, Gao Zhiyuan secretly made up his mind. As long as you still have a breath of air, you must hold on. In this situation, everyone is taking care of themselves. If you die, don't expect someone to help take care of your son.

He walked forward with his legs mechanically, but the team slowly stopped under the command of the captain of the team.

Gao Zhiyuan doesn't know why, but it's always good to get some breaks. He lowered his son to the ground and rubbed his aching shoulders.

Gao Kai had just turned two years old, and these days the changes in his family had made him lose his childlike liveliness. At this time, he frowned, his ignorant eyes were full of worry, "Father, are you tired?" ”

Gao Zhiyuan was about to speak, but he heard Gao Kai's voice and became happy, his immature little hand hooked his father's sleeve, and jumped up excitedly, "Mother! It was the mother who came. ”

This child, I'm afraid I don't think my mother thinks stupidly. She had already given the letter of resignation to Shi Jingyu, at this time, how could she come? Aren't you afraid of being implicated?

He was about to crouch down to explain to his son when a trembling voice came from behind him, "Husband." ”

This voice is so familiar, so familiar that Gao Zhiyuan can't believe it. He turned his head slowly, his eyes a little red, and he really saw her standing upright, looking at him with tears in her eyes.
