Chapter 66
Hearing the meaning of Xu Heng's words, Xu Hui could only be silent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Except for her and Xu Ze, no one knows that in the next five years, there will be three years of drought and locust plague in the north, the Yellow River will also overflow twice, and the people will flee in all directions.
In order not to harm their own interests, the families surnamed Bei have raised taxes one after another, and some of them have reached the level of asking the people to pay eighty percent of the taxes on the surface, which has aroused the indignation of the people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the rebels are rising up. The imperial court was happy to see the northern family consume its strength and refused to send troops, which further worsened the situation in the north.
The cause of everything, in the final analysis, is that there is no food. With food, you can recruit people and buy lives. This is also the reason why Xu Hui has the idea of cooperating with the Qiang people, trafficking in luxury goods, and going to Jiangnan to exchange for food.
However, Xu Hui also had to admit that Xu Ze's words were more reasonable.
Food can be grown, but salt must be hoarded for a rainy day. Therefore, Xu Hui not only objected to Xu Ze's approach, but also changed his method to analyze Shen Fu's character, thinking that he had something that he could get his hands on and could exchange it with him. So she lowered her voice and said to Xu Heng: "The status of salt is very important, you also know that even if there is a temporary shortage of food, you have to find a way to get the salt!" ”
Xu Heng nodded, and was about to say something, but he heard the sound of clogs stepping on the stairs. Xu Hui glanced at it casually, his expression was stunned for a moment, Xu Heng saw this, and also looked in the direction of the stairs, and saw several families with different styles, but equally handsome and elegant, walked up, and said suspiciously: "Lu Jue? He was followed by Lu Xun, and ......"
"There are also the two sons-in-law of Xie Jun of the Xie clan of Chen County, Xie Heng and ...... Xie Lun. Xu Hui's voice was a little dry, but it quickly returned to normal, "I don't know the rest of the people." ”
Fortunately, Xu Heng shifted his mind to the relationship between the Lu family and the Xie family, and didn't notice her little abnormality, but just moved his eyes to Lu Jue, who was walking towards the king of Guangde County, and looked at the way this group of people got along without a trace, and said strangely: "The king of Guangde County is enthusiastic about Lu Jue, but it's okay, why does he ...... Xie Heng?"
"Xie Heng, as the eldest son of the Xie family's generation, is the son of the younger brother of the head of the family, and marrying the princess is inevitable." Xu Hui has a thorough understanding of the Xie family, and immediately said when he heard the words, "The king of Guangde County also has a girl of the right age, and he is temporarily neutral, so he naturally wants to curry favor with both sides, and save himself from standing in line too tho......roughly."
She didn't say anything more about the next words, because Xu Heng already understood.
Only at this time did Xu Hui rejoice that they were sitting in a corner with a bad line of sight and a bad position. As long as you don't have the intention to inspect them one by one, no matter who you are, you won't be able to find out where they are.
Wei Li obviously also saw a famous disciple by the window, so he stopped talking, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and whispered, "Why are they all here today?" ”
Seeing him like this, Qi Fang suddenly felt funny, so he quipped: "Brother Wei and them are all children of high-ranking families, why do you have such an attitude?" ”
"Don't don't, I can't get along with people like them at all." Wei Li waved his hand again and again, and then muttered in a low voice, "Talking in twists and turns, doing things in twists and turns, that face is like a March day, it changes when it is said, and it doesn't even leave time for people to think...... It's too tiring to get along with this kind of person, and it's not comfortable at all. ”
Speaking of this, he lowered his face and said helplessly: "Besides, the Wei family is gradually ...... Such a top family can't look down on me. Instead of nodding and being careful, it is better to get along with everyone and come easily and happily. ”
Xu Heng nodded, and answered with a smile: "With people like us who are not as good as you, you naturally don't have much pressure. ”
"No, not at all!" Wei Li's face turned red, and his voice was unconsciously raised, and then he subconsciously glanced around, and saw that some people around him had already looked over, and couldn't help but say embarrassedly, "We...... We've been sitting for a while, so let's go! If you bump into them later, what kind of humiliation will not grow eyes...... I'm afraid that I can't help but fight with them, if that's the case, it's not something that the eldest princess of Yangxia can easily suppress...... Let's go first! ”
It is rare for him to ask for someone once, and everyone naturally will not disagree, not to mention that everyone does not mean to be a real disciple of the high family and the royal family, Xu Hui is even more lazy to see Xie Lun, so he saves himself a few knives on his face, and after throwing the tea money with Weili, everyone went downstairs together.
Lu Xun listened boredly to the greetings of his brother, the king of Guangde County and Xie Heng, his eyes wandered around at will, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Xu Heng and the others slowly walking towards the stairs. He subconsciously wanted to step forward, but because his brother was talking to the king of Guangdejun, he couldn't say anything, so he could only watch them leave.
When he went downstairs, Xu Hui glanced at the window and said to Xu Heng: "Lu Xun has seen us." ”
"What about seeing? What if you don't see it? Xu Heng replied disapprerovingly, "We left early, just to save trouble, but we didn't mean to be afraid of them." ”
Xu Hui also felt that he was a little out of shape, but he was relieved to think that when he saw Xie Lun for the first time after he was reborn, he didn't have much turmoil, which was already amazing.
After leaving the Green Yi Building, Wei Li breathed a sigh of relief, his temper came and went quickly, and now he was relaxed, so he said: "In the glazed workshop in Yangzhai South City, there are mostly books and rare antiques, let's go and find some good things!" ”
Xu Hui saw that Wei Li was full of confidence, and he was also contaminated with Xu Heng's bad taste, so he couldn't help but joke about Wei Li: "It's easy to take us to the first floor of Yangzhai, and we met the king of Guangde County and Lu Jue, and then go to Liulifang, shouldn't we meet Guo Ye and them?" ”
Hearing her say this, Wei Li's face couldn't help but fall: "It won't be so miserable, right?" ”
"Wei Langjun, Hui'er is teasing you!" Xu Su covered his lips and chuckled, and said softly, "I have heard the name of Yang Zhai's Liulifang, I just want to go and see it!" ”
Xu Hui smiled, and just wanted to say something, Ah Yuan said a few words next to her, Xu Hui's eyes crossed a sharp light, and then smiled: "You guys go first!" I have some things to attend to here, so I won't go with you. ”
When Xu Heng heard this, he frowned slightly: "Do you want me to go back?" ”
"No, I'll just go back alone." Xu Hui gave his brother and sister a reassuring look, and hurried back to the Xu mansion with Ah Yuan and other female dead soldiers.
Ignoring the many maidservants who saluted when they saw her, Xu Hui strode to Xu Su's bedroom, and saw that Ah Shuang had led people to block this place, so he asked in a deep voice: "Have you brought all the people?" ”
Hearing her question, Ah Shuang's face was embarrassed: "Those who can enter the big girl's room are all those handmaids, except for the big girl's henchmen, they are Mrs. Zhong's henchmen......"
"Aunt and Auntie, I'll go and say, even if there is any blame, I will bear it together, now, bring them all to me!" Xu Hui's voice was extremely steady, her expression was as calm as before, and her tone had not even changed, but those who were familiar with her knew that this was a sign that she was about to become angry.
In the face of such Xu Hui, Ah Shuang didn't dare to say anything anymore, she lowered her head, hurriedly led people away, and sent someone to inform Mrs. Zhong and Xu Ze by the way. The former didn't say anything, just calmly let Ah Shuang take all his maids and servants away, and Xu Ze only said a word.
"This matter is left to Hui'er with full authority."
Lord Lang showed his attitude, and others had no room to talk more, and after a while, Mrs. Zhong and Xu Su's henchmen and maidservants were all tied up with thick hemp rope and tied in front of Xu Hui.
Xu Hui swept around these pale-faced delicate women, didn't look at them, and waved his hand directly, Ah Yuan held a pile of silk silk with a number written on it, and Ah Shuang walked in front of these women with pen and ink and a piece of paper with only one word "Jing" written on it.
"Each of you, imitate this character for me, whether it is writing or drawing, if you don't want to suffer from flesh and skin, write it for me!"
Hearing Ah Yuan's words, some maidservants who were familiar with Xu Hui raised their heads boldly and wanted to beg Xu Hui for mercy, but when they saw her expressionless face, they were all frightened and didn't dare to say anything. They grabbed the pen one by one, and with trembling hands, either wrote or drew the gourd in the same way, and drew it, Ah Shuang collected all the silk silks, and handed them to Xu Hui respectfully in the order and number of their knees.
Xu Hui took the silk silk and turned it over one by one, Ah Yuan and Ah Shuang stood beside her, and when she saw which hand handed out the silk silk, they took it respectfully. Of course, everyone present saw that Xu Hui paused for a moment when he looked at a few silk silks before putting them on his lap.
After putting the last silk silk, Xu Hui pointed to Ah Shuang and said, "The ones in your hands are all written by illiterate people, they are not suspicious, let them go!" Of course, if they dare to talk nonsense after they are released, I don't mind arresting them again. ”
Ah Yuan received the order, and released the people one by one in front of the number.
was frightened by Xu Hui's words, even though the maid who was released, her legs trembled like chaff, where did she dare to talk nonsense?
After they all left, Xu Hui whispered to Ah San and Ah Huan, and the two dead men obeyed the order, quickly stepped forward, and blocked the mouths of several of the maidservants with strips of cloth. After seeing this scene, Xu Huifang raised the three books on his knees, raised his chin slightly, and said in a calm and almost cold voice: "I am obviously literate, but I want to pretend that I can't write...... Send them all to Qin Jiu and tell Qin Jiu that no matter what, pry open their mouths! (To be continued.) )
