Chapter 563: Cover-up
Haitang insisted on not opening his mouth, but Zhu Ying couldn't for a while, so he could only let him go.
Back at the tea house, Haitang said to Mrs. Quan: "Mrs. Four, I didn't say anything. ”
Mrs. Quan Si sighed, then shook her head, didn't say anything, told her to do things well, and then went home, and when she returned home, Mrs. Quan Si could order someone to quickly pack up her things, and ask the family to leave for a period of time, go to other places to buy goods, and take a break by the way.
The fourth master of Quan was very puzzled and asked: "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" I haven't heard you say before, I still have an old friend gathering in a few days, and I have said that it will be presided over by me, and it is not easy to push it off." ”
Mrs. Quan Si was busy rummaging through the cabinets and tidying up, and said to Master Quan Si: "Master, something happened, I can't talk about it now, but the matter is very serious, we must leave immediately, what kind of friends are you gathering, what's the matter? ”
"How can this be done? A gentleman has a promise, how can he break his promise?" The fourth master of Quan was a little unhappy and complained, "Don't patronize and make money, now the situation at home is good enough, money is enough, it's good to have enough, but too much is a troublesome thing." ”
"Sir, what you said is exactly what I thought. Mrs. Quan Si stuffed a few pieces of jewelry into a small bag and said, "I thought very clearly this time, let's go to the vicinity of Nanshan this time, Nanshan Academy heard that it is good, my son can go to the academy to study, our husband and wife will buy some real estate in the town, I heard that there are also many literati gathering in Nanshan, you can make new friends."
"What do you mean?" Master Quan Si heard that something was wrong with Mrs. Quan's words, this was not to do business. Instead, it's like moving the family.
Mrs. Quan Si said: "Master, don't ask so much, it's just that our family is going to leave for a while, maybe come back soon, maybe longer, in short, you pack up your things quickly, the sooner we go, the better." ”
"Why are you like this, in a hurry, you have to move your family, and you don't say why. To go, you go. I'm not going anyway. "Master Quan Si is also a little temperamental, of course he understands his wife's hard work to make money, but now it seems to be a bit too much. After all, he is a big man. Householder. Now that his wife is in charge of everything, where will he put his manly face?
I saw the fourth master sitting on the chair with his butt and not moving. Mrs. Quan Si sighed and said, "Okay, master, if you want to know, I'll tell you." ”
Mrs. Quan Si told Master Quan Si about the begonia as it was.
The more the fourth master heard this, the more confused he became, and said: "What's this? Isn't it just to take in a singer from Dingwang's mansion? If you don't like her to make trouble, just give more money and send it away, presumably the princess won't care too much about a singer, as for a singer, let's go by ourselves?"
"Master, why don't you understand?" Mrs. Quan Si didn't want to say so much to Master Quansi, so as not to scare him, but she didn't know how to say it, people like Master Quan Si couldn't think of the seriousness of the matter at all, and explained, "This begonia is not involved in a trivial matter, but the disappearance of General Shao's wife, originally I thought it was a trivial matter, but now she went to the yamen and walked around, and came back to say something to me, she didn't say anything, which is scary, what does she have to say, but she didn't say it?"
With such an explanation, the fourth master also felt that there was something, indeed, he generally knew some important secrets and could say them, but he would say so if he didn't say it.
Mrs. Quan Si said again: " Master, I used to please Princess Ding, just to earn some errand money, subsidize the family, Princess Ding is a great help to our family, we can be so rich now, it is the princess's house, but I ask myself to do things, and I have not received the favor of others in vain, but now this matter is big, and it is related to the disappearance of General Shao's wife, we are a small family, I don't want to be involved in this kind of thing, it's not good, the next summons of this Yancheng Mansion is me, I don't want to be involved in this kind of thing, so let's avoid it first. ”
Out of a woman's sensitivity, Mrs. Quan Si felt that things were not simple, she was a woman in the house, no matter how ignorant she was, she knew that the disappearance of General Shao's wife, but a major event in the DPRK and China, involving this kind of thing, it is very likely that there will be a big disaster.
Don't say that their family is an ordinary person, even if it is the Dingwang Mansion, what do they really want to do in this matter, once it is leaked, I am afraid that it will not be pleased, after all, General Shao is seriously ill, and there are rumors in the market, and he is not a good-tempered person, what is really the matter, the Dingwang Mansion can withstand it, how can her family withstand it.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Quan Si said to Master Quan Si again: "Master, who doesn't have an urgent matter?" Let's just say that your friend has a party, you find another person to preside over it, and book the best restaurant for them, and all the expenses are all out of our family, so everyone will not be surprised." ”
"This ...... Okay?" "Master Quan didn't want to say no, but he felt a little embarrassed, which means that he has to spend a sum of money in the family, he is a big man, he can't make money, and he still spends the family's money, how can he be embarrassed?
"Master, it's settled, let's pack up our things. Mrs. Quan Si said this, and pushed Mr. Quan Si in the direction of the study.
Dingwang's mansion.
Su Yiqing listened to the return of the green vine, and said that she had heard that Mrs. Quan Si planned to take her family to a trip to other places, and booked a carriage in the carriage and horse shop.
At first glance, I didn't think anything of it, Mrs. Quan Si is also a business-minded, and she doesn't dare to go too far in business, but she also walks around nearby counties and cities from time to time, and it is normal to want to go out.
However, after thinking about it carefully and tasting it, she couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
Mrs. Quan's move is clearly purposeful, and she seems to be dodging, what does this mean?
If it was usual, Su Yiqing didn't want to care, but at this time, I only felt that Mrs. Quan's move was a little too anxious to get rid of the relationship, it was Mrs. Quansi who came up by herself, and wanted to touch the light of the palace, but now that she has made enough money, she wants to leave when she notices trouble, is there such a cheap thing?
Angry, Su Yiqing asked the green vine to find Mrs. Quan.
At this time, Mrs. Kwon Si was about to get into the carriage. The carriage dealer she hired said that a wealthy merchant was also going to Nanshan, and that he was going to leave two days earlier than them, and the carriage dealer asked if he would be willing to set off with him if the Quan family had already packed up?
Mrs. Quan Si couldn't ask for it, so she naturally agreed, and she didn't care about those trivial matters, and there was a housekeeper. There are already a few trusted shopkeepers who help take care of the business.
However, she was before leaving the door. was stopped by the people of Dingwangfu.
Stopping her was the big girl green vine next to Princess Ding.
Mrs. Quan Si was shocked at first, but she was also a person of change, so she immediately put on a smiling face and said to the green vine: "It's the green vine girl." What's the matter? It's not a coincidence. Our family is in a bit of a hurry. Heading out the door?"
Green vine calmly said to Mrs. Quan: "Fourth wife, it's the princess who wants to see you." ”
"Ah, Lady Green Vine, that's a misfortune. We are about to go to other places, this child is going to study at Nanshan Academy, and we have made an appointment with the gentleman of the academy, and this study is a big deal...... You watch. Mrs. Quan said tentatively, "Why don't we send the child there first, and then come back and say hello to the princess?"
"Fourth wife, what kind of foolish words are you talking about?" Lu Teng had no expression on his face at all, and said, "What kind of identity is the princess, it is your honor to summon you, and this is what you have always said, why is the princess looking for you now, but you are pushing back?"
"No, no, Green Vine Girl, I'm really in a hurry, the carriages and horses are all booked, and this person is waiting. Mrs. Quan Si said to Green Vine in a panic.
Lu Teng said: "Fourth wife, you are a smart person, do you think it is better to let the people who are traveling in the carriage and horses wait, or let the princess wait?"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Quan Si didn't dare to shirk it, she really wanted to annoy the people of Dingwangfu, but I was afraid that they wouldn't even be able to get out of the city gate.
was willing to go back to the house to change into better clothes before going to the palace, but Lu Teng directly asked Mrs. Quan to go with her on the grounds that she couldn't let the princess wait for a long time.
The fourth master knew something inside, and looked at his wife worriedly, but he didn't have the courage to stop him.
It was Mrs. Quan, who gritted her teeth and gave her husband a reassuring expression before leaving.
Arrived at the Dingwang Mansion.
Mrs. Quan said respectfully: "Given the princess, please be safe, I don't know what the princess has summoned?"
Su Yiqing looked at Mrs. Quan, dressed in blue cloth clothes, with a headscarf and hair, dressed like a busy woman walking the streets and alleys, and said lightly: "Where is the fourth aunt going?"
Mrs. Quan Si had already thought of what to say on the way to come, so she said to Lu Teng according to what she had just said, saying that she was sending her son to study at Nanshan Academy, which is not a lie, for a long time, their family has had this plan, but they just feel that the child is still young, and the academy is hard, thinking about delaying it for two years, and when the child grows up, he will take care of himself more and send it away.
Now that Princess Ding asked, Mrs. Quan Si naturally said it again, and only said at the end: "The matter is too urgent, there are too many students studying in Nanshan Academy, and the seats are limited, we heard that there are two vacant seats recently, so we hurried to go, so as not to be late, and let others take the lead, delaying the child's studies. ”
"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, it's hard for the fourth aunt to worry so much about her son. Su Yiqing smiled faintly.
"That's what parents do. Mrs. Kwon Si also smiled, probably too nervous, and her smile was a little reluctant.
"However, I felt that the fourth aunt had left in too haste. Su Yiqing's face suddenly cooled, "Or more precisely, the time when the fourth aunt left was too coincidental, which made people feel a little sudden, after all, the fourth aunt has a lot of stores in Yancheng, and it was too hasty to leave like this, I heard that the fourth aunt also hurriedly sold a few shops with better business." ”
"This ...... This child is studying, the expenses are a little large, and the money is a little tight, taking advantage of the good business of the shop, selling it for cash, and holding the silver in his hand is more at ease. Mrs. Quan Si didn't expect Su Yiqing to even know this, so she couldn't help but stutter a little, and then saw that Su Yiqing's expression was a little wrong, and she was even more flustered.
Su Yiqing looked at Mrs. Quan Si steadily, and saw that Mrs. Quan's heart was furious, and then she said, "Fourth aunt, do others believe this reason?"
"This is indeed a fact, and I dare not hide it from the princess. Mrs. Kwon Si forced a smile.
Su Yiqing said: "Is it a fact, only the fourth aunt knows in her heart, as far as I think, the fourth aunt really wants to avoid it, to be precise, the fourth aunt thinks that it will cause trouble, so she is in a hurry to leave, and she feels a little deserted and escaped." ”
"Princess, how could I be like this?" Mrs. Quan Si couldn't pretend to be smiling anymore, and became a little anxious.
Su Yiqing said again: "Why not? Is this also human nature, the fourth aunt has always been a smart person, knows how to seize opportunities, and naturally knows how to avoid trouble, but I want to tell the fourth aunt, it is a little inappropriate for you to do this, right? When the palace was in the scenery, the fourth aunt found it herself, and now she thinks that something may happen, and she has made enough benefits, so she has to avoid it in a hurry, is there such a cheap thing?"
"Princess, you really misunderstood me...... I'm really thinking about my children's studies. "Mrs. Quan Si is really a little scared, she has never seen Princess Ding like this, in her impression, the princess is a very considerate person, what she does is convenient for people, why did she turn her face so quickly?
Su Yiqing waved her hand and said: "Is it a misunderstanding, the fourth aunt knows herself, I just want to tell the fourth aunt, if you leave at this time, it means that you will cut off contact with the Dingwang Mansion, and you will not go to the gate of the Dingwang Mansion in the future. ”
Mrs. Quan Si wanted to say something, but Su Yiqing had already ordered the maid to send off the guests.
Returning home in despair, the fourth master of Quan was waiting for her at the door of the house with a worried face, and as soon as he saw her come back, he immediately greeted her, and asked anxiously: "What's the matter, what did Princess Ding say?"
"Let's talk about it when we go back to the house. "Mrs. Quan Si didn't dare to say too much in public.
Entering the house, closing the doors and windows, Mrs. Quan Si told her husband what Princess Ding said, in order to avoid scaring Mr. Quan, she did not dare to say everything.
However, just a little bit was enough to make the fourth master of Quan frightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Then what now?
Going, obviously offending the Dingwang Mansion, don't go, just as Mrs. Quan Si guessed, there must be an accident, if you don't leave, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble, and their family really can't be provoked.
"We're not leaving, we're staying. Mrs. Kwon Si thought about it carefully, gritted her teeth, and told her husband, "We're not leaving, you can put your things back." ”
"Don't go, but you didn't say ......" Fourth Master Quan lowered his voice, "You also said it, the princess just said that she should not board the door of the palace again in the future, let's go, this powerful family is not easy to take advantage of." (To be continued......)
