Chapter 66: Hustle

Q: North Journey?

The shopkeeper was happy, and stretched out his hand to pat the housekeeper.

"Then you're right." He laughed.

Steward Cheng frowned slightly and looked at the little guy, from the capital?

"Who are you looking for? Who got you here? He asked.

The only thing in the capital that has anything to do with their Cheng family is the Zhou family, oh, and the fourth son, did the fourth son let people come back and write a letter?

The little guy in Tsing Yi looked at him with a little doubt.

"You are?" He asked.

"This is the Cheng family's housekeeper." The shopkeeper smiled.

The little guy in Tsing Yi sighed, but there was no fear and respect on his face, and there was no joy.

"That's right, let me ask you, is the Cheng family's lady in your house now or is she still living outside?" He asked.

The butler glared at the question.

What the?

"You, are you looking for Cheng Jianniang?" He asked, stunned.

"That's right." The little guy said.

"Are you from the Zhou family?" The butler asked.

The little guy in Tsing Yi laughed.

"This housekeeper, if I am from the Zhou family, do I still need to ask for directions?" He laughed, with a hint of undisguised sarcasm.

Steward Cheng blushed slightly in his eyes, but he was a little surprised that he knew the relationship between the Zhou family and their Cheng family...

"And who are you?" He asked.

"This master, is the lady of the Cheng family at your house?" The little guy in Tsing Yi asked with a frown.

Steward Cheng didn't know what to say, and when he was hesitating, a woman's voice came from the building.

"Is it the sixth brother of the Chen family?"

This voice made everyone turn their heads to look, and Steward Cheng looked even more surprised, it was the women of the Qin family. They even know each other?

The little guy in Tsing Yi was happy.

"Ahh That's great! He hurried forward to salute.

"Why are you here?"

"The old lady, the old lady let me give a New Year's gift."

"Not sooner. Delivered with our family. ”

"Let's be lively."

"Let's go. I'll take you to meet the lady. ”

The people here went out with a smile, leaving the shopkeeper of the teahouse and Steward Cheng stunned in place.

"What they say... Is it the second master of your family, the stupid eldest daughter? The shopkeeper asked.

Steward Cheng clicked his mouth twice, as if he didn't know what to say.

The Qin family has not left for so long, and now there is another Chen family, and it seems that they are all here for this lady.

Which one is the Chen family?

"Dafu, Dafu!"

In the Jiangzhou Mansion, a Qingke ran in in a little panic, startling the prefect and the other three who were talking.

For his own clear customer so out of shape in front of people. The prefect was a little displeased.

"Dafu, the Chen family is here." Qingke didn't bother to look at the prefect's face, and hurriedly said.

"Which Chen family?" The prefect asked angrily.

"Beijing, Chen Shao, Chen Xiang's house." Qingke said.

This time, not only the prefect, but also the two subordinate county officials present also stood up.

"Why is there no news at all?" Governor Song said hurriedly, urging people to take official robes.

"No, no, sir. He is a descendant of the Chen family. Qingke hurriedly said, "The people from the post station just sent the news. ”

Another subordinate?

Song Zhifu frowned slightly and looked at Qingke.

"Could it be... It's the Cheng family again..."He asked.

Qingke looked at him and nodded.

After a period of hectic commotion. Tongju Jietui was also called, and more and clearer news was also inquired and sent.

"....It's not Cheng's house that goes straight to the Cheng family, it's Nancheng..."

"The Cheng lady who complained lives in Nancheng."

"That's right, the woman of the Qin family took it with her personally, and it was that Cheng Niangzi who she saw!"

Speaking of which, Governor Song couldn't help but take a few shots.

"I said how could you be so bold and dare to do such a thing, and sure enough, there is a big backer behind it." He said.

The word big backer makes Tong Juan and Jietui look at each other, this backer also has advantages and disadvantages for them, the advantage is that they don't have to be afraid of Master Cheng, and the disadvantage is that there are some things in proportion....

"Then what are we going to do with this case?" The general judge asked in a low voice.

In other words, how to divide the Cheng family's money, is it necessary to converge a little? In that case, they will inevitably have some lack of interest.

Song Governor was silent in thought, and the section on the side smiled.

"I don't think I need to think about it that much." He said, "Didn't the lady say that she didn't want a dowry, just a name." ”

Governor Song shook his head.

"If you don't have profits, you can't afford to make them early, how can you not have benefits, let alone your own money." He said.

The judge clapped his hands.

"That's easy." He said, "The case we handled belongs to the Cheng family, not this Cheng lady." ”

In other words, if the dowry is not moved, the rest will be tossed casually.

There used to be a reason to toss, but now she has more confidence to toss, originally, the lady already made it clear, she didn't want money, she wanted the Cheng family to pay the price.

After listening to the words of the general judgment, the prefect and the section pushed their faces suddenly, and rushed to the judgment to pick up the tea bowl.

"Clever and clever." Everyone laughed.

The three of them met each other with tea instead of wine, and laughed.

"Madame, Madame, you see, you see."

The two servant women helped Mrs. Cheng to walk a few steps, stood in the alley and stretched out their hands to point there.

"That's the person who came to visit the lady again, and it's also the person from the capital."

It's from the capital again.

Second Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but take a few steps forward and squint at the rock.

This is not inferior to the Qin family's carriage, and the servants who came down are also brightly dressed, and the gift boxes that come down are also big bags and small bags.

"I really shouldn't have left at that time, I was kicked out, even if I apologized, I should have stayed." Second Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but regret muttering, and asked again, "Whose house is this?" ”

"He said his surname was Chen." The servant woman said.

The Chen family in the capital? There are more people with the surname Chen, but what she knows is limited, such as Chen Shao and Chen Xianggong, as for other people, she doesn't know.

"It looks like I'm very familiar with the Qin family, so I should be a very powerful person." Mrs. Cheng said to herself.

And Master Cheng here is also listening to the housekeeper's reply.

"Surname Chen?" Master Cheng frowned and asked, "From the capital?" ”

The butler nodded.

Master Cheng thought for a moment. Who would that be? What happened to this woman in the capital?

"The eldest lady hasn't come back yet?" He asked.

Mrs. Cheng went to Wang's house. Be sure to ask this question clearly. It's time to come back today.

"Master, I asked about the passing immortals." The butler said again.

"Say it quickly." Master Cheng said busily.

"It was said that it was originally done by a family surnamed Dou, and the business was particularly prosperous, and then there was a happy and comfortable person in the capital, similar to the passing fairy, and the price was cheap, so the passing fairy gradually failed, and the family surnamed Dou had a dispute with others. After a fight, the business was even worse, so he resold the store and went back to the countryside. The housekeeper said, "Now the passing fairy is very good, very expensive, it is a famous restaurant in Beijing, but not everyone can eat, there are dignitaries and nobles, especially now in winter, it is difficult to find one." ”

Don't forget to add a sentence after that.

"It's not at all like what the maid said."

Master Cheng twisted his beard and groaned.

The surname Dou is particularly prosperous. Later, another one came out of being happy, and the business was not good. Later resold ...

Isn't it the same?

Once upon a time, there was a person, surnamed Dou, who saw someone else eating a passing fairy, he learned to take it as he had, and then made a fortune, and his business was particularly prosperous.

Then he felt that the passing fairy was his own, so when he saw the person who had eaten the passing fairy, he was not grateful but vigilant, and wanted to threaten that person.

As a result, the person said that the road fairy was not hers, so she didn't want to give her money, and then there was a happy one in the capital, similar to the passing fairy, and the price was low.

Later, the passing fairies who didn't want money were all over the street, so the passing fairies couldn't do it, and they resold the store and went back to the countryside...

Master Cheng's twisted hand trembled slightly, and his breathing became short.

Not different, but the same! Same!

"Who belongs to the passing immortals today?" He asked in a trembling voice.

"Then I don't know, I just said that the owner is very powerful, and it seems to have something to do with many high-ranking officials." The butler said.

"For example?" Master Cheng asked.

"For example, the Chen family..."The housekeeper thought for a while and said, before his words fell, Master Cheng sat up suddenly.

"The Chen family?" He shouted, stretching out his hand and pointing outside, "That Chen family? ”

The housekeeper was taken aback.

"No, no, it's Chen Shao and Chen Xiang's family." He said.

Master Cheng's expression did not change, and his outstretched hand trembled slightly.

"You, how do you know that the Chen family outside is not Chen Shao's Chen Xianggong's family?" He said in a trembling voice.

The butler's face was stunned.

What the?

The Chen family who came to give a New Year's gift to that Cheng Niangzi is Chen Shao and Chen Xiang's family?

"Just ask clearly, you know, always think about everything, what is the use of coming up with it! Fool yourself? Master Cheng shouted.

The butler was so frightened that he got up in a panic, and ran out with a sigh of smoke.

The south side is still lively, the traffic is busy, the children and women look curiously at these men and women with different accents, these men and women are not as unapproachable as they look, and some people even take out some candy to tease the children, looking happy.

The butler took a deep breath before he was about to lift his foot, when he saw the sound of a carriage and horses again.

Someone is here again?

The housekeeper looked at it in surprise and breathed a sigh of relief, thank God, this time I came to recognize that an old servant walking in front of the car was from the Zhang family....Zhang family!

The butler's eyes widened again and he stopped breathing.

No, it won't!

"That's a lot of people." The old servant of the Zhang family said slowly.

The people of the Qin family and the Chen family didn't recognize this old servant.

"You're also a New Year's gift?" A servant of the Chen family asked tentatively, who else is there? I know that Tong Neihan's family is going to be sent...

The accent of the speaker was a local.

"I'm not here for New Year's gifts." The old servant said slowly, "I'm just carrying things for people." ”

Let's look at the person in front of the door.

"Which one is this Cheng Niangzi's person?" He asked.

There was a retinue of the Zhou family who hurriedly stood over.

"I'm from the Zhang family." The old servant looked at him and said unhurriedly.

Zhangjia...

Local accent, Zhang's family.

The women of the Qin family next to them didn't react, and the men of the Chen family were suddenly stunned, after all, the old man scolded Zhang Chun more than once at home, Jiangzhou'er, Jiangzhou'er.

"You belong to Mr. Jiangzhou?" The man of the Chen family blurted out.

As soon as these words came out, the woman of the Qin family also showed surprise.

Mr. Jiangzhou's family even sent something to this lady....

The old servant was noncommittal and continued to speak to the Zhou family's entourage.

"My old lady," he said.

This sentence made everyone present, including the Cheng family's housekeeper, prick up their ears and held their breath.

turned out to be the identity of the old lady of the Zhang family, which is completely different from the Chen family and the Qin family either in the name of the lady or in the name of the master, it is a longer generation....

“… The girl is half celery," the old servant of the Zhang family said slowly.

The people present breathed a sigh of relief, but then they raised their breath again, the girl of the old lady of the Zhang family, that is also what the old lady meant.

The housekeeper of the Cheng family was in a trance, feeling that he had heard this name somewhere, he looked at the chariots and horses in front of the door, and only felt that the excitement made him feel like numbness.

The door was lively, but Cheng Jianniang's door was quiet.

"....This is what Dan Niangzi specially wants to give to Niangzi alone..."

The woman of the Chen family smiled and pushed a small box over.

"I repeatedly explained that I wanted to be the first to show it to the lady."

Banqin took it and opened it with a smile, revealing a clay doll, and she handed it to Cheng Jianniang with a smile.

Cheng Jianniang, who was relying on a few people, stretched out her hand to take it.

"It's like a lady." The servant woman covered her mouth and laughed.

Cheng Jianniang looked at this clay beauty in a white shirt and red dress with her sleeves raised to cover her mouth and smile, and also smiled.

Chen Danniang...

Several of her sisters are the same age as Dan Niang....

"Okay, thank you." She said.

The women of the Chen family glanced at each other, and a trace of doubt flashed, but they hurriedly straightened their expressions and retreated.

Banqin personally sent them out, and when she came to the door, she looked back again, and saw that in the half-open door, Cheng Jianniang sat still without waves, just like the clay sculpture next to her.

The laughter of children outside the door, the voices of men and women, and the sound of building houses in the distance are noisy and full of life.

This door is separated by two worlds, one moving and one static.

Banqin lowered her eyes and sighed, and gave a gift to the servant woman of the Chen family. (To be continued......)
