Chapter 69: The Princess Arrives

After breakfast, Cai Wei took Zhaoqiu and left Bishui Villa, and when the car went to the market, she stopped the carriage.

"Calling Qiu, you will go to the rice shops on the street later, order as many rice noodles as you can, order as many as you can, and send them to my newly bought house after ordering, remember, those rice noodles are scattered in each room, and let the rice shops send rice to the time not to rush together, as far as possible to disperse, so as not to be suspected."

The biggest advantage of calling Qiu is that she cherishes words like gold, never talks much, she didn't ask Cai Wei what she was buying so much rice for, she only took the silver ticket in Cai Wei's hand, said "yes" and got off the car and went to find the rice shop.

Today is the day when Cai Wei and Huo Yuan made an appointment to hand over the staff, and after separating from Zhaoqiu, she instructed the coachman and sent herself to Mu Ji to join the line.

Opened in a palatial two-storey building, the door is lavish and magnanimous, with marble steps, hollow carved doors, and gilded sandalwood plaques, all of which show the strong economic strength of the owner.

Cai Wei got out of the car and walked into the company.

There are not many people in the bank, only four guys and a shopkeeper. It was still early in the morning, there were no guests in the bank, and the four men were cleaning with rags, brooms and other labor tools, while the young shopkeeper with a beautiful face sat behind the counter and prepared the dishes.

After Cai Wei came in, a guy who was wiping the counter greeted him with a smile: "Miss, do you want to buy ginseng?" ”

"You're busy, I'll take a look"

Cai Wei walked around the line with her hands behind her back, the last time she came, she didn't have time to look carefully, this time she became a veritable shopkeeper here, and she had to know her shop in detail.

I have to say that Huo Yuan has indeed spent a lot of effort in this participating bank, and the participating bank is impeccable both in decoration and the goods inside.

The hall of the ginseng is decorated with precious rosewood, and the rows of shelves containing different grades of ginseng are forged with rosewood, the spacious hall, the carpet of red velvet embroidered peony flowers, the huge white jade relief sixteen Arhat landscape screens, the rosewood counters, the rosewood shelves, and the dozens of genuine old ginseng placed in the shelves, which set off the low-key luxury of the ginseng, which is very classy

The young shopkeeper finished settling the accounts, walked out from behind the counter, and gave Cai Wei a polite salute, saying, "Miss, but the surname is Mu, the one who made an appointment with my son-in-law?" ”

Cai Wei smiled: "Exactly, I just don't know where your son-in-law is now?" ”

The shopkeeper said: "The son just opened the door when he came, has been waiting for the girl here, and then was invited by the people who came from the Tianfu, the son asked Xiao Ke to tell the girl before leaving, please delay the handover, and wait for my son to come out of the Tianfu." ”

Brother Huo was invited by Ying Tianfu

Cai Wei frowned, thinking of the scene she saw in the Palace of Brocade yesterday

At the beginning, Concubine Huo Xian was single-handedly raised by Concubine Jin, and she also promoted several concubines at the same time, all of them were like Concubine Huo Xian, who were not of high origin, but they were all the types that the emperor liked, which was enough to attract the emperor, and they could be used to compete with the queen.

Now, the queen has been completely suppressed by Concubine Jin, and it is difficult to turn over, but these concubines are still in the palace, except for being an eyesore, there is no use anymore, especially Concubine Huo Xian, who also gave birth to a son, thinking about it makes Concubine Jin panic.

Therefore, it is imperative to turn your face and tear up Concubine Huo Xian, and it is rare to have an excuse to send her down.

It seems that Concubine Jin has turned against Concubine Huo Xian, and now, Brother Huo has been listed as the number one suspect for killing Jin Dapeng, if Concubine Jin wants to attack Brother Huo, I am afraid that it will be difficult to keep Brother Huo with all the strength of the Huo family

"It's okay, then I'll go first, Brother Huo is not here, you will have to worry more about participating in the trip"

Cai Wei nodded to the shopkeeper, walked out of Mu Jishen, and as soon as she arrived outside the door, she opened her mind and called Brother Parrot.

"Brother Parrot, come back quickly, there is an important thing for you and Changmei to do"

"What's the matter?" The parrot was hovering over Lingbei, looking for something to lower his stomach.

Cai Wei said, "I need you and Changmei to help me kill someone"

Before, she had sent Brother Parrot to investigate, and there were hidden guards everywhere around Concubine Jin's bedroom, so it was impossible to kill her in person, so she planned to let Brother Parrot and Changmei work together, plus the highly poisonous poison specially prepared by the old turtle, to kill Concubine Jin

Concubine Jin must die as much as possible, otherwise, the lives of Brother Huo and Concubine Xian Niangniang are in danger, but she has to rush to Lingbei before the soldiers in Lingbei are in turmoil and help Nangong Yi tide over the difficulties, so she is powerless for a while, so she can only hand over the matter of dealing with Concubine Jin to Brother Parrot and Changmei.

For the whole day, Cai Wei spent the whole day in the market, she bought a large basket at the grocery store, carried the basket everywhere to buy things, while putting the things in the basket, and then put the contents of the basket into the space, so that one after another, from the basket as a transit station into the space of several cars.

In the evening, Cai Wei went to the newly bought mansion, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the more than a dozen main houses in the house were full of grain, and even the courtyard of Sanjin was piled up like a hill, plus the ones she robbed in Lin'an Mansion before, it was enough for Nangong Yi's army to eat for a month or two.

"Calling Qiu, you're so capable"

Cai Wei was very happy, and really praised this capable girl.

Zhao Qiu said expressionlessly: "The silver is all spent, otherwise I can buy more." ”

Cai Wei said: "This is already very good, you go to the outside of the yard to guard first, remember not to let people in"

After calling Qiu out, Cai Wei suppressed her excitement and put all the food inside and outside the house into the space, thinking that she could see him tomorrow and help him meet his urgent needs, and she couldn't help but feel a burst of sweetness in her heart......

A few families are happy and a few are sad

Cai Wei is sweet and longing here, but the Anguo Mansion is gloomy, and the entire mansion is immersed in a downturn.

The eldest son and his family died tragically in the mouth of the poisonous snake, which made Du Ruhai and Du Yongzhi sad and fell ill all at once; The old lady was highly poisoned, although she survived by luck, but it was almost like death, because the poison was too deep, she was paralyzed in bed, and she couldn't speak clearly, and she had to rely on people to serve her food, drink, and Lazar.

Mrs. Wang was strong all her life, but in the end she ended up like this, she couldn't accept it at all, she lay on the couch all day long babbling and crying, what made her even more sad was that from beating her to the time when she was injured and sick, An Guogong never appeared once, and he didn't even send someone to see her, and even his three sons and daughters-in-law rarely came to see her, only the second daughter-in-law Wang came once, and just took a quick look and left.

Although the old lady was paralyzed, her mind was still active, and when she saw her husband and family treating her like this, she was heartbroken, her liver and intestines were broken, and she almost cried blind, but she didn't know that the family was now in chaos, and no one could take care of her at all.

The Dafang family has been completely hit by Du Yulang's death, Du Yongzhi and Guo Shi wash their faces with tears every day, and they also have to receive guests who come and go to mourn, Du Yuheng was also bitten by a snake that day, fortunately, it was not a poisonous snake that bit him, but it also frightened the boy brother who lingered in the flowers every day, and he was actually scared to the point of falling ill.

Although Du Wanqiu was not bitten by a snake, her family suffered such a big change, and she heard about the scandal of Wuchanghou being castrated, she was worried every day, and sighed for a long time, lest her family would put her in Wuchanghou again

Although there were no casualties in the second room, Du Wanyue was frightened by a python that got into the bed in the middle of the night, and hid in the corner all day screaming, no one could get close, and she couldn't stop shouting: "Snake snake snake ......"

The imperial doctors who treated her said that she was frightened crazy and was afraid that she would not be able to get better, so the second room family also fell into a gloomy cloud.

Du Yongchun in the third room was also bitten by a snake, but fortunately, he had a strong psychological tolerance and was not frightened, but the part of the bite happened to be the face, and he couldn't go out to meet people for a few days....

Du Ruhai escaped because he stayed in Aunt Liao's yard that day, but he was not happy about it, the tragic death of the eldest grandson and the eldest grandson made his already depressed heart even more depressed, and why were there so many snakes in the family inexplicably?

Who will do it? Although the children of the Anguo Mansion are not successful, they are all timid and afraid of things, they never offend people outside, and they never make enemies with others, who will be so poisonous to the Anguo Mansion? Who can have such great ability? How about putting so many snakes in the house without being discovered?

With the same atmosphere as the Anguo Mansion, there is also the Huo Mansion, the home of the richest man in the Great Jin Kingdom.

Huo Yuan's front foot was invited to leave by Tianfu, and the Huo family's back foot knew it.

Mrs. Huo was shocked, and immediately ordered a sedan chair to enter the palace to see Concubine Huo Xian.

However, the sedan chair was stopped at the gate of the palace, and a eunuch from the Internal Affairs Office told her that Concubine Huo Xian had been ordered to be grounded by Concubine Jin because of her disobedience to Concubine Jin.

The old lady couldn't stand the blow, and immediately fainted, and was carried back by her family in a sedan chair, and directly carried to the Yao Yuan of the Cishoutang Tai Hospital where the old lady lived was already on the way to Huo's mansion, and many of Huo Yuan's aunts and concubines gathered in the courtyard of Cishoutang, ready to serve the sick.

The whole family of the Huo family came and gathered together to discuss ways to rescue Huo Yuan.

Now that Huo Yuan is gone, the old lady is sick again, and the eldest in the family is the second master Huo Qi, who sat on the main seat with a solemn face and asked the big butler who was sent to see Huo Yuan in Yingtianfu to ask for news

The housekeeper didn't see Huo Yuan, but brought back a not-so-optimistic news.

It is said that Huo Gongzi was interrogated once in the lobby, but he didn't find out why, and now he is in prison, I don't know what the situation is?

The Huo family had a lot of money, and the housekeeper made a lot of money, and finally learned the truth about Huo Yuan's arrest from the scribe of Ying Tianfu Mansion, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately came back to report.

When the second master Huo Qi heard this, he immediately became furious: "It's all the Mu family that has affected our Huo family, such a broom star should be thrown out as soon as possible, how can they still let them live in our Huo family?" ”

Everyone was silent, everyone knew that the Mu family was personally brought into Bishui Villa by Huo Yuan, and from that family to live in, Huo Yuan never went home, and has been living in Bishui Villa with that family, which shows the importance of that family, if they take advantage of Huo Yuan's absence, they will trouble that family, and when Huo Yuan comes back, wouldn't they blame them?

However, if the second master Huo Qi wants to replace his nephew Huo Yuan and become the head of the family, he must do something that is opposed to Huo Yuan to establish his authority and show that he is not afraid of him.

At that moment, he took the case and shouted with full anger: "Come on, send a few people to Bishui Villa, and drive out that family of stirring up stars for me."

The housekeeper froze, his expression a little cracked.

He...... Can't

Huo Qi saw that the housekeeper looked embarrassed, refused to move, and said angrily: "You don't dare to go to me If Huo Yuan can come out, let him come to me to settle accounts."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and took people out angrily.

He thought that with his identity as the second master, going to his nephew's house to expel a few outsiders should be a matter of effort, but when he arrived at Bishui Villa, he found that things were not as simple as he imagined, and he couldn't even enter the door, let alone drive people out

The janitor's attitude was tough: "Second master, the son once said that no one is allowed to enter Bishui Villa without his permission, so don't be embarrassed."

Huo Qi was angry, and pointed at the little guy: "It's the other way around, you bastard slave, it's against the sky, I still have to go in, ...... today."

The little guy wanted him to break in, and when he waved his hand, more than a dozen sturdy little guys immediately ran out of it, holding sticks in their hands, and looked at Huo Qi with an unkind face, obviously not buying the battle of this second master.

Although Huo Qi was annoyed and angry, he really didn't dare to break in, looking at the posture of helping people, if he broke in, those little guys would definitely beat him, and he couldn't afford to lose this person; But if he goes back like this, he will come out in front of the entire Huo family to provoke people, if he returns in vain, let alone standing up in front of his family, it is his face, and he doesn't need to ask for it

was struggling, and suddenly saw a carriage with the mark of the Huo family coming over, and when everyone saw the carriage, they all lowered their heads and stood quietly.

The carriage approached, stopped in front of the little guys, and a clear female voice came out: "What's the matter, who's making a fuss here?" ”

The janitor was embarrassed and said, "Miss Mu, this ......"

Huo Qi heard a Mu word, and burst out with a fire in his stomach, and said coldly: "Mu family girl, I am Yuan'er's second uncle, you must already know about Yuan'er's accident, I specially came here to sue you, please leave Bishui Villa as much as possible, lest when the old lady comes to you in person, the faces of the girl's family will not look good."

The people in the car listened to it, muttered for a moment, and said: "The second master wants to take advantage of driving away our family to stand up in front of the Huo family, but I didn't expect that as soon as Brother Huo entered here, someone was eager to take his place."

Huo Qi was told that he was in his heart, and his old face turned red, and he shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am the second master of the Huo family, I don't need to be there, but it is your family, and my nephew is imprisoned, do you still want to be cheeky and continue to live here? ”

Cai Wei sneered: "Since you are an upright second master, then what you should do now is to try to rescue Brother Huo, instead of rushing to catch up with us irrelevant people at such an urgent moment." Our family was invited by Brother Huo to live temporarily, and only Brother Huo can decide whether we go or stay, as for others, they are not qualified to do so."

Huo Qi was angered by Cai Wei's arrogant attitude, he pointed to the carriage, and said angrily: "My nephew, I will find a way to save him, but you people, Mu caused my nephew to be imprisoned, do you still have the face to live here?" ”

Cai Wei said lightly: "Brother Huo was not killed by us, he knows in his heart; Do you really want to save Brother Huo, you also know it in your heart. It's just the second master, Rong Xiaonu reminds you, since you want to replace Brother Huo and sit in the position of the head of the Huo family, the most important thing to do now is to try to rescue Brother Huo, even if it is to pretend in front of the clansmen, it is always good that the fox and the tiger come here to borrow us to Liwei, in the handling of this matter, you have fallen behind. Therefore, I can see that you are not the material to be the head of the family at all, and your people must think so, so you better not toss and go back to wash and sleep early."

Second Master Huo was so angry by Cai Wei's words that his face turned pig liver color, he covered the position of his heart, and pointed to Cai Wei's carriage with trembling fingers: "You...... You ......"

"Loyal to the ear, I hope the second master can listen to it, so as not to make a big mistake in the future and bring disaster to the children and grandchildren..."

After Cai Wei finished speaking, she reached out and knocked on the wall of the carriage, and the coachman understood, raised his whip, and drove the carriage into the manor

Behind him, the old face of Second Master Huo turned red, white, purple, purple, colorful, and wonderful......

Back in Huifangyuan, Dad and Cai Fei had already returned, and the family was sitting in the hall waiting for her to come back for dinner.

During the meal, Cai Wei said: "Dad, let's move back to our own Zhuangzi tomorrow, it's not a matter of living in someone else's house after all."

Just at the door, although she refused Huo Qi's request, but in fact, she had long wanted to take her family out of here, always living in someone else's house was not a way after all, besides, Huo Qilai couldn't expel her today, and tomorrow Huo Yuan's wife would come to the door in person to drive people away, when the time came, how could the little maid and the family dare to stop her?

So, it's better to leave early.

Mu Zhongqing said: "I think so too, it's just that Wen'er's head always hurts a few days ago, and your mother's body has signs of miscarriage, I thought it would be convenient to find a doctor here, so I stayed for a few more days, and now they have taken the medicine you brought back, and they are all fine, let's move back tomorrow."

The family had made a decision, had dinner, and chatted for a while before going back to their rooms to rest.

Before Cai Fei returned to the room, she asked with a smile: "Eldest sister, can you continue to learn needlework with me today?" ”

Cai Wei shook her head and said with a smile: "Sister is tired today, I want to go to bed early and learn needlework, let's talk about it later."

"Okay, I'll wait for the eldest sister."

The two sisters parted ways and went back to their rooms.

Cai Wei returned to her room and saw Brother Parrot and Changmei who had just rushed back, "Master, we are back"

The voices of Parrot and Long Mei sounded almost at the same time.

Cai Wei was so happy, she had never been so happy to see them as she was now.

Entering the space, Brother Parrot and Long Mei followed the delicacy, and couldn't wait to pounce on the food that Cai Wei purchased today, and buried their heads in eating.

Crystal elbows with snowflake patterns, roasted rabbits baked golden and crispy, steamed dumplings with various fillings, and juicy fruits from the space...

The two guys ate a lot, and they didn't stop until they couldn't eat any more.

Cai Wei waited for them to finish eating, and when they finished eating, she told them about her plan......

Before leaving, Cai Wei wrote a letter to her father, saying that her master ordered her to go out on errands and that she would not be able to come back after a while, and instructed them to protect their bodies, pay attention to safety, and not worry about her waiting...

Just after the hour, Cai Wei couldn't wait to summon the white-haired tiger, rode on the tiger's back, and said in a low voice: "White-haired tiger, can you rush to Lingbei before dawn?" I think he was a surprise."

The white-haired tiger said: "I'll do my best"

After saying that, he flew out of the window and disappeared into the night like lightning...

This night, Cai Wei finally realized the power of the white-haired tiger, she couldn't see the surrounding scenery at all, and only felt a strong convection hitting her, forcing her to lie on the white-haired tiger's back, not daring to straighten up again.

Rao is like this, there is still a strong air flow above her head, and bursts of cold wind cut her scalp like a knife, fortunately, she had bought a few furs when she was in Qingxian, and all of them were taken out and covered on her head, so that she was not frozen to death

I don't know how long she ran, but when she was about to freeze, the white-haired tiger's voice finally sounded: "Master, it's here"

Cai Wei poked her head out of the fur in surprise and found that it was still dark, and she was in a continuous military tent
