Chapter 143: Suspicion
Wei Yunhai also remembered his eldest grandson, after Fu Xianglian hugged the little brother out, he saw that the little brother sank a lot, and the smile on his face couldn't stop.
Uncle Fu said with emotion: "Now that you have nothing to do, I have let go of my heart." Spring is coming, you will go to Jin'an tomorrow and let your uncle come back. ”
Hu Chunlai was straightforward, and after being stunned for a while, he realized that Uncle Fu was talking about his sister-in-law Wei Minwen.
The Wei family was all in prison, Wei Minwen went to Anyang to inquire about the cause of Wei Minwu's accident, Uncle Fu was afraid that he would come back rashly and hit the point, so he asked Hu Chunlai to intercept Wei Minwen halfway and let him hide in Jin'an.
Now that the people of the Wei family have come out, Wei Minwen doesn't have to hide anymore.
Wei Yunhai nodded. To put it mildly, it is already impossible to say it when you come to Uncle Fu. Not to mention it far away, let's just say that this time in order to get them out of prison, the Fu family was just bankrupt, and the newly opened shops in Yuxian County were pawned out, and the old shops here were much more depressed than before.
Uncle Fu learned that Zhang Xing and the others had just entered Zhanghe Town, and hurriedly asked to cook and arrange breakfast. Wei Yunhai hurriedly stood up and said, "Uncle, don't be busy, let's see that the little brother is about to go back to Weijiazhuang." When we left, the family had not finished threshing the grain, and we didn't know what the road looked like now. ”
Ye Hexiang had already wanted to leave, and when she heard this, she quickly stood up.
Wei Yunhai glanced at Zhang Xingzhang Tao and Fu Xianglian, who were gathered together, and said: "I'm afraid that the family will be very chaotic, so don't rush back first, just stay here for a few days, and come back when the house is cleaned up." ”
Ye Hexiang heard that Zhang Xing didn't return, so shouldn't the affairs of the family be left to her alone. She was about to open her mouth. Zhang Jinbao hurriedly pulled her out.
Wei Yunhai saw their movements. He also said: "Jinbao is also back, you will be out next year, your studies are the most important, and you can't delay." ”
Zhang Jinbao nodded obediently.
Zhang Xing said with a smile: "I'd better go home with my uncle, the family is busy, one more will give you one more pair, and you will be busy quickly." ”
Wei Yunhai could always hear Zhang Xing's words and listen to Zhang Xing's words. After a little groaning, he nodded in response.
Zhang Tao didn't want to go back to Weijiazhuang, but Zhang Xing pulled her, and she couldn't help squeaking here, so she had to be silent with a cold face.
The crops and the food are the sky, and Uncle Fu is not good to stay, so she asked Hu Chunlai to set up a carriage to send Wei Yunhai and others back to Weijiazhuang.
Zhang Xing pulled Zhang Tao into the carriage and coaxed to talk along the way.
When the Fu family's carriage arrived at Weijiazhuang, many people in the village came out, and some people who were good friends with Wei Yunhai greeted Wei Yunhai one after another. There are also those who are timid and afraid of things, and only shrink their heads to look at them.
When I got home, Aunt He, my son and daughter-in-law next door also came out. Wei Baohong ran over and said, "Uncle, your family's grain is piled up in my house." ”
Wei Yunhai hurriedly asked Hu Chunlai to stop the carriage, jumped down all of a sudden, and asked, "Baohong, what did you just say?"
Wei Baohong smiled and said: "My mother saw that your grain was piled up on the threshing floor, so she beckoned the neighbors next door to help beat it, and now it is piled up in the back room of my house." ”
Wei Yunhai was speechless for a while, and only after a long time did he bow his hand to Aunt He and said, "Auntie, thank you." ”
Aunt He smiled and said, "Thank you, it's all the neighbors next door, who doesn't have a problem? Besides, it's not my family who did this, the village is the main family, and the Dongzi family are all stretching out their hands." ”
Wei Yunhai thanked him and waved his hands.
Zhang Xingying looked at these with a smile, and her heart was warm.
Not only did the Wei family's millet not rot, but the door of the house was also closed well, and when it was pushed in, although the courtyard was a little messy, the things inside were still there.
Zhang Xing rolled up her sleeves and said to Wei Yunhai: "Uncle, I'll go to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables first, let's have breakfast and tidy up the house." ”
Wei Yunhai nodded, and he was also busy. Zhang Xing took the basket and took Zhang Tao to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables, the pork at home was stinky, but there was still the fish pickled in Layue last year. She cooked a pot of sticky porridge, rolled a plate of pickles in hot oil, fried a bowl of salted fish, and stir-fried a plate of greens. Called the family over to eat.
Although it is a simple farmhouse dish, the family also eats happily. Zhang Tao has always followed Zhang Xing, and after many years, she eats her sister's cooking, and she feels that it has a different taste.
The family collected and picked up, and it took a long time to clean up the house.
After eating dinner, Zhang Xing took a hot bath, only to feel full of Tai. It's dark again, and although Zhang Tao has never given Ye Hexiang a good face, he doesn't seem to have rejected the Wei family before.
Zhang Xing twisted her hair, took out a wooden card and handed it to Zhang Tao.
Zhang Tao took a look at it, and said in surprise: "Isn't this the waist card of the manager of the Huaiyang Palace?" She followed Gu Xiruo and watched her manage the palace for a few days, and recognized this waist card.
Zhang Xing recognized Zhang Tao at a glance, and was sure that she knew the Tao in more detail, and she didn't panic, poured herself a bowl of water, and said while drinking: "You take a closer look." ”
Zhang Taohu glanced at her suspiciously, looked at her again, and said, "This is the waist card of the person in charge of the outer courtyard of the palace." Sister, where did you get this?" The waist card of the steward of the Huaiyang Royal Mansion is not the same according to the different affairs in charge, but whether it is the waist card of the person in charge or the chief steward, it is easy to leave the body.
Zhang Xing said: "We had a bandit here some time ago, and my sister almost suffered, and this waist card was obtained that day." ”
Zhang Tao's face turned pale with fright, and she held Zhang Xing's hand and shouted timidly: "Sister......"
Zhang Xing patted Zhang Tao's hand with a smile and said, "It's okay, you also know that my sister killed people when she was a child, and if the bad guys want to harm their sister, they have to weigh whether they have the ability." ”
After Zhang Xing said the whole thing, he said with a smile: "I only remembered later that this person had also seen it, the same person he had seen on the boat when he came back from Huaiyang, and he also sent a matchmaker to our house to ask for relatives, but I didn't respond." ”
Zhang Tao's hands were cold, and he looked at Zhang Xingchi and asked, "Sister, you, are you sure?"
Zhang Xing smiled, "Why are you not sure? I can recognize him turning to ashes like that." ”
She almost died because of it, how could she not remember?
Zhang Tao's hand was withdrawn, as if he had lost his soul.
Zhang Xing glanced at her and said, "I'm afraid that the Wei family's imprisonment this time is also caused by this incident. Uncle Fu inquired, and although he came forward to take the name of the Huainan General Military Mansion, it was not an order issued from above, but someone paid for it to privately invite a team member of the Huainan General Military Mansion to come out. After that, he sighed again, "Fortunately, my sister has a big life." ”
Zhang Tao turned his head to look at Zhang Xing, Zhang Xingfu shook Zhang Tao's hand again, and said softly: "Otherwise, my sister will never see you again." ”
Zhang Tao looked at Zhang Xing, the disbelief in his eyes finally dispersed, and asked, "Sister, is this person really surnamed Hu?"
Zhang Xing nodded, "The surname is Hu, I heard that he is in charge of a few shops in Huaiyang Wangfu Tong County." ”
"Steward Xiaohu......" Zhang Tao muttered.
Hu Xueping's family background is known to everyone in Qiuhua Courtyard, he was originally the person who married with the princess, and he was in charge of several dowry shops of the princess, and he was only recently transferred to Huaiyang. He has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son took over the errand of the Hu manager, the younger son is in charge of several shops in Tongxian County, and his daughter Qiu Ju is one of the four girls in Qiuhua Courtyard.
Steward Hu's son and daughter are doing well in the princess.
Narcissus revealed that the Hu steward's family is very likely to marry with the eldest lady to Liaoyuan in the future.
She herself also saw that this year, the eldest lady's travel was all handled by the Hu steward. She had seen him far more often than the other outer court stewards. Especially recently, the mother-in-law who is in charge of Hu often goes in and out of Qiuhua Courtyard.
Qiu Ju hurriedly took a leave of absence earlier.
Butlers, petty butlers, bandits - big lady?!
The more Zhang Tao thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she shook her head intuitively, this matter was definitely not instructed by the eldest lady!
Zhang Xing saw that Zhang Tao's face was red and white, dazed for a while, and hateful for a while. She knew that Dao Tao Tao must have thought a lot about this, and this is what she wanted. Only if Zhang Tao is suspicious of Huaiyang Palace, she will pay attention. As long as Miss Gu reveals a little clue and is discovered by Zhang Tao, she will shake her loyalty to her. If she persuades her to leave then, won't it be a matter of course?
Zhang Xingzhi said that Zhang Tao thought a lot, but he didn't know that the Hu steward and Miss Gu still had this entanglement. She originally thought that the bandit incident with the surname Hu was caused by Gu Xichao's matter, but now it seems that it is not like it.
The water in Huaiyang Wangfu is deep, and there are gods and ghosts from all walks of life, with her understanding of Huaiyang Wangfu, she really can't think of which person surnamed Hu is, why did she come to this trick?
For now, she has no power and no power, and she has no foundation at all, so she really has to stay away.
However, although she wanted to plant the seeds of doubt in Zhang Tao's heart, the origin between her and Gu Xichao could not be revealed, once this was revealed, she wanted to get out of the way, but I was afraid that it would be difficult.
Zhang Xing didn't want to reveal it, but Zhang Tao wanted to know about it. She took Zhang Xing's hand and asked, "Sister, how did you know the prince of the palace?" Zhang Xing and the others were rescued by him, could it be that the matter of Xiao Hu is also related to him? This little overlord has always been unpredictable, and it is not unusual for him to order people to pretend to be bandits to block the road and rob him.
Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, his mind turned, and he said with a smile: "Where did I know such a nobleman?"
"But, sister, didn't he rescue you?" asked Zhang Tao.
Zhang Xing smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't know the way, right? Our uncle has a cousin, and he has a son who is the little maid next to the prince of the palace." He was here to help. ”
Zhang Tao's face was full of disbelief and said, "Really?"
Zhang Xing touched Zhang Tao's head, nodded and said, "His name is Ye Xinchen, you still have to call him a cousin." ”
Zhang Tao thought for a while, and suddenly realized, Ye Xinchen, wasn't it that when she rushed here, she almost knocked over the boat she was sitting on?
I see. (To be continued......)
