Zhang Xing looked at Zhang Tao's face and knew that she believed it. She pulled the topic back again, and inquired and said, "Tao'er, my sister has experienced this incident, and she is really a little afraid of the palace where you stay, if you have the opportunity, you should leave that place." It doesn't matter if we live a poor life, as long as the family is together, the wife is peaceful, which is better than anything else. ”

Zhang Tao lowered his head and did not respond, but he did not move out of Miss Gu as before.

Zhang Xingzhi said that this thing will not be done all at once, as long as the seeds of doubt are planted, they will one day grow into a big tree. Zhang Tao used to only think about Miss Gu in the best way, so she didn't notice anything inappropriate, but now that she is suspicious, she will naturally think more about it. No matter how deep Miss Gu's mind is hidden, there will always be a time when her feet are exposed.

Zhang Xing didn't force Zhang Tao anymore, made the bed, and said with a smile: "Sleep, I'll take you back to Lizhuang Village tomorrow and put incense on our father." ”

Zhang Tao climbed into bed and slept next to Zhang Xing. In the middle of the night, the moonlight came in, and Zhang Xing accidentally opened her eyes and saw that her sister was still thinking about things with her eyes open. She just didn't know how to do it, and continued to sleep with her eyes closed.

The next day, Zhang Jinbao was going to private school, Zhang Xing took Zhang Tao back to Lizhuang Village, reported safety to Li Dahe, and went to Zhang Shuisheng's grave to offer incense. Zhang Tao cried so much that his liver and intestines were broken.

Zhang Tao stayed in Weijiazhuang for three days and returned to Huaiyang.

Zhang Xing sent Zhang Tao to the town. Uncle Fu happened to come back, glanced at Zhang Xing, and asked Chi Qian: "Apricot girl, what kind of relatives are you from Ye Dahu in Quantang Town?"

Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, knowing that Uncle Fu had stayed in Yu County for so long, he must have heard something. Gu Xichao must not make a noise about that matter. She smiled and said, "On kissing." I'm going to call my uncle. "It's just not very close. Ye Hexiang and Ye Yunqing belong to the same village. The same generation, a branch is big.

Uncle Fu nodded and said, "It turns out that you still have this relationship, so it's no wonder." You were able to get out of the Yuxian prison this time, and I heard that it was the path of the Huaiyang Palace. ”

When Uncle Fu said this, Zhang Xing naturally would not refute it. Gu Xichao's incident, she wished that it hadn't happened at all.

The days are the same again.

After this incident, Ye Hexiang became closer and closer to Ye Yunqing and Ye Yunlan's house. When I met people, she said that her nephew was a big celebrity around the prince of Huaiyang Palace, how good he was to her, how her youngest daughter was also on an errand in Huaiyang Palace, how expensive she wore and ate, and so on.

climbed the signboard of Huaiyang Palace, and no one mentioned the matter of the Wei family's imprisonment anymore.

The days are calm, and the Huaiyang Mansion and the Gu Xi Dynasty come and go quickly. Although Zhang Xing is always vigilant, she also feels weird, but others don't come to provoke her. She would never provoke them.

No matter how the Huaiyang Mansion wanted to deal with her, they didn't move. She didn't need to make any more trouble.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year has come to an end, and the Wei Fu family can be regarded as broken in this prison disaster. Although there were neighbors next door to help, this year's harvest was first infested by insects, and then it was rotten due to untimely threshing. The Wei family's harvest was less than half of that of previous years. And because of Wei Minwu's return, all the family's savings were taken away. After the Wei family paid this year's taxes, it was difficult to even get enough food and clothing.

Not to mention the Fu family, Uncle Fu's shop in Yuxian County was pawned, and the shop on this side of the Zhanghe River was not as good as before because of the lack of supply.

Uncle Fu discussed with Wei Minwen, life just goes by, it will definitely not work, this year, everything needs money, they don't have any savings on hand, they can't do anything, they can only let the opportunity slip away.

This year, due to pests and diseases, the Jianghuai area has a large area of land harvest, but the Henan and Hebei areas are smooth and rainy, and have encountered a bumper harvest year. Uncle Fu got accurate information, and the grain over there was much lower than that in the Jianghuai area. If there is a doorway to go there, once the new year begins, wait until March and April, which is the time when the family's food storage is almost the same, and there will definitely be a lot of profit at that time.

There are not a few merchants who know this truth, but who has the courage to run over there? That is the place where the anti-thief Liu Shenzhou is suppressed, and the imperial court suppresses bandits every year, and the people simply set themselves up as kings. Occupy a large area of land in Henan and Hebei, change the country name to Zhao, Heyuan to Kyoto, divide the generals under his command, and confront hundreds of thousands of male soldiers in Daxia for many years.

Rich and dangerous, although Uncle Fu and Wei Minwen knew that it was dangerous to go to the source of the river, they still planned to go there.

Although Uncle Fu wants to go, in the end, he is old, and if something happens, I am afraid that it will become a drag. But let Wei Minwen go alone, he also felt that it was inappropriate. Wei Minwen ran to the end and lacked qualifications. Now that Wei Minwu has an accident, the little brother is still too young, and the Wei Fu family is only Wei Minwen a man who can afford to hold up the façade, and there can be no accident.

He inquired among his peers for a long time, and finally found someone who was willing to go through this dangerous road together.

"This shopkeeper Zhao is a native of Yu'an, and he also made a fortune by selling rice and noodles, and in the past few years, the business has been done in the capital, but he has offended people, and the business has plummeted in recent years, so he wants to take this dangerous road. Uncle Fu said to Wei Minwen, "I have an old friendship with him, this is a person in love, you just listen to him more along the way." ”

Wei Minwen nodded.

Uncle Fu sighed and said, "As for the family, don't worry. I told your father, Xianglian and the little brother lived in the town during this period, and with your uncle and aunt watching, you just have to rest assured. ”

The matter was settled, and Wei Minwen went back to Weijiazhuang. Wei Yunhai had already heard Uncle Fu talk about this, and Wei Minwen just had to rest assured that he didn't have to worry about it at home.

Zhang Xing pulled Wei Minwen aside and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, I want to go too, you can take me with you." ”

Wei Minwen was startled, and hurriedly shook his head, frowned, and said, "You are a girl's family, why are you thinking about showing up? Besides, it's going to Hanoi, no, no." "The bandit incident last time was scary enough, Zhang Xing is already about to say goodbye, there must be no more accidents, otherwise he will suffer from medicine for the rest of his life.

Zhang Xing licked her face and said with a smile: "Big brother, I am pretending to be a kid, and absolutely no one can recognize me." ”

Wei Minwen became more cautious the older he gets, no matter how Zhang Xing asks, he still doesn't allow it, and said: "Xing'er, the years are really not peaceful now, and you are not the same as when you were a child. You should stay at home in peace, and when the eldest brother returns home after a trip, he will definitely buy you a set of beautiful and decent dowry. ”

Zhang Xing has experienced Wei Minwen's stubbornness, the three men of the Wei family are all the same temperament, and they rarely change their minds when they make up their minds. She had no choice but to give up. When asked about Wei Minwen's itinerary, Zhilu Dao went with him and the person's surname was Zhao, his name was Zhao Deyi, and he was from Yu'an County, and he was also engaged in rice and noodles trading.

Wei Minwen saw that she asked in detail, and couldn't help but smile and said: "You can rest assured, this shopkeeper Zhao is a great good person, I heard that there is a big year of floods, and the Yu'an area is full of hunger, he scattered half of the family property, and bought several boats of rice and grain in the Kyoto area to help the villagers, and the Yu'an area mentioned him, and none of them did not boast." And he and his uncle are also old acquaintances. Don't you believe my uncle knows people?"

Zhang Xing smiled and said: "That's good, my uncle has always been vicious when he knows people, and the people he entrusts are naturally very good." I just think the name of Shopkeeper Zhao sounds familiar. ”

"Zhao's shopkeeper has a noble character, Yu'an is well known, you are familiar with it, and you must have heard others talk about him. Wei Minwen said.

Zhang Xing thought about it, and felt that it was, so he didn't ask more, stuffed Wei Minwen's shoes into his baggage, and explained that he was careful about everything on the road, and then let it go.

Wei Minwen's ship set off a year ago, and when it came to the Chinese New Year, he still didn't return. Zhang Xing couldn't help but worry. Although Fu Xianglian, who took her little brother home for the New Year, was also worried, she had heard Uncle Fu say it many times, knowing that it was a long way to and from Heyuan, and comforted Zhang Xing: "Where is it so fast? Hanoi is more than half a month away from us." ”

Zhang Xing's gaze withdrew from the shallow snow outside, and said with a smile: "It's like you've been to Hanoi." ”

Fu Xianglian said while threading the needle: "I haven't been there, but my father has been, and he said that he has been out for more than a month." As she spoke, Fu Xianglian's hand stopped, "That's still a peaceful year......

Seeing her like this, Zhang Xing didn't dare to mention it anymore.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, Wei Minwen had not returned home, and Fu Xianglian wanted to go to Guangji Temple to burn peace incense. Zhang Xing hesitated, then Guangji Temple is in Tongxian County, if you are unfortunate enough to meet the surname Hu, it will be troublesome.

Although it has been almost half a year since the Wei family was imprisoned, she feels that things will never stop like this, and the current peace is only a temporary illusion. The son who was in charge of the matter was injured in her hands, although the matter was suppressed by Gu Xichao, he may not be willing in his heart.

She is not alone, and Zhang Tao has not left the Huaiyang Palace, the open arrow is easy to dodge, but the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, the surnamed Hu is powerful and powerful, and he wants to trouble her secretly, or is it a trivial matter?

She didn't want to hit the tip of the knife.

"Go, go, maybe I'll meet your sister again. Fu Xianglian pulled Zhang Xing and said. They met Zhang Tao by mistake on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in Guangji Temple that year.

Zhang Xing shook her head, "Zhang Tao won't be there this year." "Miss Gu's family affairs are scheduled for the end of this year, she should be busy with her dowry, and she will not come to Tong County. If she doesn't come, how can Zhang Tao run to such a far place?

"Who can say for sure?" Fu Xianglian pestered Zhang Xing and said, "I heard that the eldest lady of Huaiyang Wangfu is a filial daughter, and in order to keep filial piety to her grandparents, she delayed her family affairs." ”

Zhang Xing hesitated. Fu Xianglian pestered and said: "My mother can't leave, you won't let me go to Tongxian alone to ask for peace for your brother, right? ”

Zhang Xing couldn't help laughing: "Okay, don't raise your eyebrows, I'll just go with you." "Although Guangji Temple is in Tong County, but in the end it is some distance from the county seat, I think she is so unlucky, only out of this door, you will meet the surname Hu.

Fu Xianglian was overjoyed and set a time to go out with Zhang Xing. (To be continued......)
