Chapter 6: The Wind Rises
Steward Xu is a man over fifty years old, but he looks like he is only in his early forties, and he has always been cautious, so he is in charge of all the affairs of Yixiuyuan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Facing his concern, Su Shaoqing laughed again: "I will, with you by my side, of course I will stick to it." ”
"Childe, he ......" Steward Xu took a lot of effort to squeeze these words out of between his teeth, his expression looked very hesitant, obviously considering whether he should say this.
Su Shaoqing sighed and said, "His whereabouts have always been erratic, and there are some things he still doesn't know." And now you should be most worried about the feast in a few days, and what excuse I have to make before that, to refuse those people's invitations. It seems that they really look up to me, but this morning, they have received more than a dozen invitations, and they are all well-known people in Luoyang City. ”
"But now that the whole city is watching, I think everyone is more curious about what kind of person you are. Miss Sun, she ...... Can you handle it? Steward Xu's face was a little more hesitant.
"At the very least, they don't dare to act rashly until they find out our details. By the way, we'll send someone out from all over the city early tomorrow morning to pick up the things we've already booked for me. A big smile appeared on Su Shaoqing's face, "I have always disliked being too ostentatious, but when dealing with those old foxes, I'm afraid this is the only way to make them more attentive, right?" ”
Taihu Lake whitebait, Dongting Lake spring bamboo shoots, Poyang Lake quinoa, Hangzhou Ulva ...... When many people in Luoyang have not even heard of the nouns, the chefs sent out by Yixiuyuan to investigate, and at the same time sent a few Yahuan who seem to have seen the market into the most lively market, purchasing the most fashionable jewelry in the capital, and the rouge gouache for the harem concubines, of course, in the end they all got nothing, and they were worried that they might not be able to pay the difference, so they "reluctantly" bought back the most expensive things in each store, plus a reward they had never received. Naturally, this situation caused a sensation in the whole city again.
"Actually, the jewelry I have loved for so long has been bought, it is almost ten taels of silver, why don't people even blink their eyes?" The bottle looked at Wu Qian coquettishly and complained coquettishly.
"What kind of person is it, is it possible that he wants to be a fortune boy?" Wu Qian was confused, people like him have always loved money like life, and his own and his wife's dowry are so clearly divided, so he can't understand people who spend so much money? "Isn't he going to get over it? That's why it's such a big show? ”
"People call it seeing through the red dust, that's why they are so good to themselves." The bottle sighed a little helplessly and said, "Even if I win the bet with my master, I can't buy my beloved things." Then again, I made a special trip to the store yesterday to have a look, and it was probably there because the price was too high. …… Speaking of which, it seems like there was a man in his forties looking there yesterday...... I didn't expect it, I didn't expect to buy my favorite thing? I think the bet should be that I won, and it must have been the owner of the garden who bought it for the woman he loved......"
"Buy, buy, buy, you know, you don't know how to care about what's going on at home?" This was the first time Wu Qian was angry at the bottle, he glared at the bottle and continued to scold: "Why don't you hurry up and get ready to sleep?" Are you still waiting to waste candles? It's really not a good family, I don't know that firewood and rice are expensive. ”
"The lesson of the master is, otherwise, your ten thousand family fortunes, can't you save a little bit to leave it to the two sons?" Bottle deliberately said with a respectful face, "I heard some rumors, so the owner of Yixiuyuan may still send out invitations and prepare to invite people?" But I think it's more appropriate for the lord to pretend to be sick in the past two days, in case people really invite you over, don't you have to feel distressed and give any gifts, right? ”
Wu Qian covered his face and asked as if he had a toothache, "Please?" Didn't you say that you would invite them to come to the house? Why do you want to ask back? But it's okay...... Take a look at Yixiu Garden with your own eyes, and you might even find something. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Qian reached out and touched the bottle's flat lower abdomen, sighed and said: "But your belly is not angry, how good it is to give birth to a baby daughter for me, a few years later, when she grows up, maybe she can also take advantage of the situation to enter the palace, or climb which high branch, then I still need to be so worried?" ”
The bottle snorted but didn't answer, and said slowly: "Master, think about it first, if those two sons and brothers have been spending so lavishly, how much money can they earn to support them?" I heard that the two sons and sons paid a deposit of ten taels of silver to Jiaofang Street yesterday, and when the legendary head card of the capital arrives here, maybe they can see the first prostitute with their own eyes. Ten taels of silver is not a small amount, is it? If we follow the old man's way of living, ten taels of silver will be enough for our family to eat a month's worth of white flour steamed buns. ”
Wu Qian didn't answer, just glared at the bottle and watched her leave with an unhappy face. He was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his eyebrows, stopped the clever little guy Zhaocai, and said in a loud voice: "Quick, you also go to Jiaofang Street to inquire, is it really the flower moon slave girl is coming, if so, you go and talk to the old bustard there, I will see it with my own eyes when the time comes." ”
"Yes." Zhaocai replied seriously, and he didn't forget to remind Wu Qian in a low voice: "Master, you have an appointment with those uncles today, I don't know when you plan to go out?" ”
Wu Qian frowned, he knew that those people must be worried about the upcoming Lord Yin. He once thought that the alliance they had secretly formed could already dominate the entire Luoyang City, and as long as there was any disturbance in the capital, they would be able to react immediately. But I never expected that this time the incident would be so unexpected. Whether it is the emperor or the household, they have never gotten any useful news, as soon as he thinks of this, he can't help but become anxious, although that person is not very clear about what his identity is, he must also have hands and eyes, why can't he find out a little news?
"Something could go wrong." Wu Qian waved his hand towards Zhaocai and said, "You go and let Jinbao prepare the car, and I will go out in a while." I turned around and told my wife that the weather was warm, and the land in the back garden that had been deserted for a winter should also be planted with some vegetables. This saves a lot of money. ”
