Chapter 47: Before the Journey

After Tianyi Silk Village got the plaque of the Imperial Merchant, firecrackers were set off in front of the shops on several streets in the capital to celebrate at the same time, and the business of the Silk Village was popular throughout the capital for a while.

Zhang Xun did not relax because of this, according to Xi Cui's arrangement, he should now start his hands on Jinyi Pavilion according to the plan proposed by Rui Niang.

Speaking of the brothers and sisters of the Liu family, after winning the Jinyi Pavilion, taking advantage of the chaos of the Wang family, Aunt Yu had no experience in managing the feed, Linglong secretly instructed a few trustworthy Aunt Yu to make stumbling blocks, and on the other hand, she asked Aunt Yu to spend a lot of money from the account to buy ready-to-wear fabrics from the Jinyi Pavilion, and use the money of the Wang family to fill the deficit of the Jinyi Pavilion.

When Liu was imprisoned in the Shuntianfu prison, the steward once visited and told the Liu family what the Liu brothers and sisters had done, and Liu vomited blood after hearing it, and he couldn't even speak. The steward is also heartfelt, knowing that Liu's mind is still biased towards his own children, seeing that the Liu family's brothers and sisters are so short of the Wang family's property, they naturally want to tell the Liu family, but they don't want the Liu family to disappear when he looks for it again. It is said that Wang Shangshu quietly disposed of it, and since then, no one in the Wang family has the ability to manage the Liu family brothers and sisters.

After Zhang Xun's side made a move, Xi Cui's side naturally began to pay attention to the movements of the Liu family's brothers and sisters. Now that Aunt Yu is in charge, Xi Cui is not familiar with this person, even if she knows that there is a problem on the account, she still can't ask in person. Fortunately, she is very familiar with Mother Mu next to the old lady, how smart Mother Mu is, she understood after listening to Xi Cui say a few words, and blew the wind in the old lady's ear, and the old lady immediately smelled that the smell was wrong, and Aunt Yu sent the account book to Ningju at that moment.

In order for Zhang Xun to deal with the Liu family without scruples, it is necessary to first let the Liu family disassociate from the Wang family, but Wang Shangshu's temper, if the Liu family is safe and keeps to himself, he will never drive them out. Fortunately, the brothers and sisters of the Liu family are restless, and if they do these foolish things, as long as the old lady is uncovered here, and there is no Liu family in the house, the Liu family will not only be driven away, but also may be cleaned out of the house.

The old lady has been in charge of the accounts for many years, and she can see at a glance that there is a problem with the account book, and she scolded Aunt Yu shamelessly. In fact, Aunt Yu is also aggrieved, she doesn't understand these at all, and the subordinates below are not convinced by her, it is rare to have someone like Linglong who not only dislikes her but is also willing to help, she is naturally willing to believe her. After entering the Wang family for so many years, isn't Aunt Yu that kind of character? Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to keep a few children in a row, and I didn't have a temper when I broke my body, and in the end I still ate fasting and chanting Buddha all day long. Where is such a soft temperament suitable for being in charge of the middle feed? It is clearly because there is no one in the house, and the old lady can only catch ducks on the shelves.

Liu Qian originally wanted to use the list left by Aunt Yang to eat away at Yun Ting's dowry step by step, but he didn't expect that they would only get Aunt Yang of Jinyi Pavilion and die. Jinyi Pavilion has a serious deficit because of the death of the first emperor, not to mention the things that cannibalize Yun Ting, that is, what they have is enough for them to be busy.

Fortunately, Linglong coaxed Aunt Yu into obedience, which made it convenient for them to use the Wang family's money to fill the shortfall, and it was precisely because of this that their original plan to take the initiative to leave the Wang family was shelved indefinitely, and now even if someone asked them to go, they would definitely not agree.

In the face of the old lady's accusation, Aunt Yu could only cry, and the old lady had no choice but to drag her back to Cuizhuyuan to think about it. At the same time, he sent someone to call the father and son of the Wang family and the Liu family to Ningju.

After everyone arrived, the old lady threw the ledger to the ground, and Linglong saw the ledger and trembled, knowing that the matter had been revealed. Cai Shi saw that the old lady's face was wrong, and heard the breathing of his daughter next to him getting heavier and heavier, and he was not sure what was going on, but he could guess it.

Wang Shaoyan picked up the account book and looked at it, and the accounts on it all went to Jinyi Pavilion, but he didn't know what was going on in Jinyi Pavilion. Seeing the old lady's attitude towards the Liu family, he guessed that this Jinyi Pavilion was probably related to the Liu family, but he couldn't figure out that his father and mother treated the Liu family's brothers and sisters as if they were their own children, and he was even closer to them, why did they collude with this Jinyi Pavilion to damage the interests of the Wang family?

Of course, Aunt Yu didn't know that Jinyi Pavilion belonged to the Liu family, all she could tell the old lady was that Linglong handled this for her, although the old lady was not very sure, but she knew that since Xi Cui dared to let Mother Mu tell her about it, then the relationship between the Liu family and Jinyi Pavilion Xi Cui must be clear in her heart.

Although she is sick these days, she is not ignorant of things outside, Xi Cui has always gone out early and returned late recently, and there is a taciturn but very methodical Rui Niang by her side, Mama Wu has not been in charge of things much these days, she has stayed by Yun Ting's side most of the time, it can be seen that Xi Cui has taken over Mrs. Hou's industry. Wang Shaoyan has always been the most disdainful of businessmen, a few days ago, he actually made a special trip to speak in front of the emperor for Zhang Xun, who was dressed in silk and satin, and Xi Cui was indispensable to take the line, so it seems that the silk village that was given to the emperor is now in Xi Cui's hands.

But why did Xi Cui deal with the Liu family at this time? The most important thing is how she will deal with the Liu family?

Liu Qian knew that the ledger should not have been directly pointed at him, otherwise the old lady would not have given them a chance to speak. So he clenched on the excuse that he was deceived by the shopkeeper of Jinyi Pavilion, and Liu Qian's father was so ashamed that he didn't know what to say. Cai's followed his son, crying and crying that he was confused, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

At this moment, the henchman who had been following the Liu family suddenly appeared, and the person who followed him was Huan Xi. The steward said tremblingly that after he found out that the mother and son of the Liu family were plotting to use the Wang family's money to fill the deficit of Jinyi Pavilion, he wanted to find Wang Shangshu to denounce him, and he didn't want to be discovered by Liu Qian's personal servant, so he knocked him unconscious and abandoned him to the hillside outside the city in the middle of the night. Fortunately, I was happy to find out that I was able to save a small life. And Huan Huanxi said the agreement that Liu Qian and Aunt Yang secretly reached at that time, and the Liu brothers and sisters testified that they only recognized Liu, and Aunt Yang helped them get Jinyi Pavilion.

The whole thing was suddenly connected, the Liu family brothers and sisters had two hearts for the Wang family from the beginning, and the whole thing was a conspiracy at all. The Wang family treats the Liu family well, but the Liu family is a litter of white-eyed wolves that are not well raised, and they will take revenge!

The old lady was immediately furious, and she wanted to cut these people with a thousand knives at once to clean them. Fortunately, Xi Cui reminded himself that he had discovered their conspiracy in advance, otherwise the Wang family would not have been hollowed out!

The rest of the Liu family didn't dare to speak, including Liu Qian, who was stunned there, but when she saw Linglong standing up, walking to Wang Shangshu, Yingying knelt down, and her voice was like crying, "Uncle watched us grow up!" What temperament do our children know best? We don't have to worry about eating and drinking at the Wang family, and the clothes we wear are no different from our cousins, so why take the risk of doing these unconscionable things? What's more, Linglong is careful of her cousin, her cousin is sick and Linglong is bent on serving her cousin, even if her cousin enters the door, Linglong will not change her original intention, even if the things of the Wang family are all cousins sooner or later, how can I bear to hurt my cousin? Seeing that Wang Shangshu was tempted, Linglong turned around and pointed at Huan Huan and rejoiced them, "Is my uncle really going to condemn us because of a few words from these subordinates?" Others don't say that this joy used to follow Aunt Yang, Aunt Yang's hatred for my aunt is something that no one knows, Linglong has been close to my aunt since she was a child, and they even hated our brothers and sisters for planting us, what can we do? ā€

Wang Shangshu may be decisive when dealing with the courtiers, but he seems hesitant to deal with the affairs of the back house, after experiencing the death of Aunt Yang, the departure of the Liu family, and Wang Shaoju is about to be sent to the palace as a show girl, he really attaches great importance to the family affection in front of him, Linglong They have grown up by themselves, they have been smart and clever since childhood, and they are willing to be close to themselves, sometimes even more intimate than their own children.

What's more, Huan Huanxi shouldn't appear here, could it be that they really deliberately planted the Liu family in order to avenge Aunt Yang?

Seeing that Wang Shangshu was a little shaken, Linglong squeezed out a few tears even harder, "Uncle...... Even the government pays attention to the fact that the case is complete with personal and physical evidence, and these people's empty words can't convict us, at least let them come up with physical evidence! ā€

What she said made sense, Wang Shangshu looked at these people in front of him and didn't know what to do for a while.

"You want physical evidence, don't you? I'll give you physical evidence! A woman's voice suddenly came from outside the door, Wang Shaoyan felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. While frowning and thinking, a woman with unkempt hair and messy clothes limped in, and Xi Cui was supporting her by the side.

"You ......" didn't wait for someone to stand still, Cai suddenly jumped up, rushed to her and reached out to grab the person's hair, Xi Cui sideways in front of Cai only caught Xi Cui's junior, and tore off a piece of cloth on Xi Cui's back, which shows how much Cai hates this person who appears.

Seeing Xi Cui's loss, Wang Shaoyan suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, I am afraid that even he didn't notice that his brows had already wrinkled into Sichuan characters, and his eyes always couldn't help but stare at Xi Cui's back.

Linglong saw that the face of the visitor suddenly turned pale, and she couldn't say a word with her mouth open.

"Hime!" Only then did Wang Shaoyan see the face of the person who came, wasn't it Ximei who accompanied Yun Ting with Xi Cui to marry into the Wang family?

"That's right, my uncle has good eyesight, so I can recognize the slave maid as Ximei." Ximei knelt down as she spoke, and took out an account book from her arms, which recorded all the income and expenditure of Jinyi Pavilion since it arrived in Liu Qian's hands, and Liu Qian's private seal would be stamped at the end of each page.

With this ledger, Linglong couldn't tell even if her whole body was full of tongues, Wang Shangshu remembered that until just now, this woman was still staging a bitter scene in front of him with a shy face, and instantly felt extremely disgusting. Originally, he still felt guilty about his brother-in-law, but looking at what their Liu family was doing in front of him was really chilling, Wang Shangshu didn't say anything, and left with his hands.

The four members of the Liu family spread out on the ground, the two women hugged each other and cried, and the two men were silent.

The old lady thought about it and looked at Wang Shaoyan, "What should I do?" Is it sent to the government? ā€

As soon as he heard that he was going to be sent to the government, Liu Qian was immediately afraid. Before, he followed Wang Shangshu to step on the low and high-level things, they committed these things and couldn't work for those high-grade officials, I am afraid that they can only be handed over to some lower-grade junior officials, in case he really runs into someone who offended in the past, he will not die. So he hurriedly used both hands and feet, climbed up to Wang Shaoyan, and pulled the hem of Wang Shaoyan's clothes, "Cousin Shaoyan, brother, I was wrong!" Brother, I am a ghost, my brother doesn't ask for your forgiveness, but please don't send it to the government. Don't forget that your brother loves you the most, and everything good is close to you...... Yes...... Cousin, Shao Yan...... In this way, as long as you don't send us to the government, I will spit out as much as I swallowed your Wang family, and if it is not enough, I will pay it back to you as a cow and a horse, okay? ā€

Wang Shaoyan was just about to say something, but he heard Xi Cui sneer and said, "Second Master Liu, it's not good for you to talk about conditions like this, as long as you are sent to the government, how much you swallow the Wang family, someone will naturally help your uncle get it back, but if you don't send you there, it's not your word to take more and take less, and our Wang family can't set up a private court to try your case." ā€

Xi Cui will not be ruthless to anyone easily, but she can't help this Liu family! Ximei grew up with herself no matter what, she betrayed Yun Ting and betrayed herself for Liu Qian, but in the end, she was so abused by the Liu family. Thinking that when she found Ximei, she was forced to pretend to be crazy and stupid to survive, her body was full of scars from abuse and beating, and when she saw that she only knew how to cry and didn't dare to say anything, how could the Liu family be so ruthless!

People who are ruthless and unrighteous to others are embarrassed to open their mouths to make others feel their former hypocrisy! It's a shame that they dare to speak!

Wang Shaoyan listened to what Cui meant, she was going to kill the Liu family? Subconsciously, he didn't want Xi Cui to become ruthless, even if it was to treat heinous bad people.

So he ignored Xi Cui's words and asked his subordinates to watch the Liu family leave the mansion, and nothing could be taken away, but the government didn't have to go. When the Liu family heard this, they quickly escaped with a thousand thanks. Wang Shaoyan watched the Liu family disappear, walked to Xi Cui's side, glanced at her back, and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that she was not injured. The rest of the finishing touches can be handed over to the old lady, and he will leave first if he has something to do in front of him.

The old lady shook her head, this grandson is still soft-hearted, sooner or later the people of the Liu family will be the bane if they stay in the world, but now she can't do it directly, otherwise it will only implicate the Wang family. But it is obviously a more unsafe way to hand it over to the Wang family father and son, both of whom have the same problem, and they are too easy to be emotional. There may be no ambiguity in big things, but sometimes some small mistakes can be fatal, and it is not a lie that a thousand miles of embankments are destroyed in an anthill.

On the contrary, this Xi Cui surprised her a lot, and at the critical time, she could have a ruthlessness that was not inferior to a man, although she failed in the end, but there was a second time for the first time, I believe that as long as the people of the Liu family meet Xi Cui in the future, there will be absolutely no other way out. Looking at Wang Shaoyan's attitude today, it seems that he is a little interesting to Xi Cui, if he can really accept Xi Cui, it will be a good thing for the Wang family. At least this huge mansion doesn't need to be managed by a sick old woman, and handing it over to Xi Cui can really ensure the peace of the Wang family's house.

However, the old lady knew that this kind of thing should not be rushed, and some things should not be done quickly.

Xi Cui talked to the old lady for a while, and while the old lady was a little happy about herself, she hurriedly gave Rui Niang Huanxi to come, and it was much more convenient to have the two of them Rui Niang. As for Ximei and the steward, they can no longer be used, Xi Cui gave the old lady some tattooed silver from Luju's account to Ximei, and returned the deed of sale to her so that she could find a way out. As for the steward, it was not for her to interfere, and it was left to the old lady to dispose of herself.

The old lady was very satisfied with Xi Cui's statement after listening to it, and she liked Xi Cui more and more.

After the Liu family left, there was no one to take over many things in the house, and the old lady took the opportunity to ask Xi Cui what he meant. Xi Cui thought of Zhao Fazi, this is a capable person, but unfortunately she didn't meet the right opportunity, so she told Zhao Fazi and two or three other names, and didn't dare to deliberately say who was how, people like the old lady were too careful in case of trouble, and they wouldn't easily trust anyone. Xi Cui believes that as long as he mentions it, the old lady will go to see it herself, Zhao Fazi has the ability, and the old lady can naturally find out, and when the time comes, he will rely on his own ability to ascend to the position, wouldn't it be more beautiful?

The Liu family was cleaned out of the house, and Jinyi Pavilion has always been a dark account, and the old lady has a hot hand in her hand, and the old lady thinks about Xi Cui's current identity and discusses with Xi Cui. Xi Cui took the opportunity to introduce the person arranged by Zhang Xun to the old lady, and the whole thing fell into place and was much simpler.

After dealing with these things, the military funds sent to the border were also prepared, although the emperor was in charge of the military department, but this matter was handed over to Wang Shaoyan to deal with, and he was even allowed to transfer people from the military department at will. This was actually secretly giving the military department to Wang Shaoyan, and Uncle Lao Guo was unhappy for a while when he found out.

The old lady has liked Xi Cui more and more since the incident in the Liu family, although she has never chased Wang Shaoyan to accept Xi Cui with open fire, but she has secretly tried a few times, and Wang Shaoyan sensitively found that something was wrong. Mother Mu came to live in the open house every once in a while, and chatted casually with Mama Wu, but Mama Wu discovered the old lady's thoughts.

Seeing that Wang Shaoyan really saw that Xi Cui was becoming more and more different from other maids, the alarm bell in Mama Wu's heart suddenly rang, no matter what, she was going to break Wang Shaoyan's thoughts. After knowing from Zhang Xun that the military materials were ready, Mama Wu personally found Wang Shaoyan and begged him to take Xi Cui with him when transporting the military materials. The reason is that half of the things left by Madame Hou belong to Xi Yunjian, and Xi Cui must obtain his private seal from him in order to deal with these things. In fact, there is no such thing at all, she just wants Xi Cui to meet Xi Yunjian, so that Xi Yunjian can see Xi Cui's changes and let him understand Xi Cui's heart for him.

I'm afraid that even Xi Cui himself doesn't know that he has a deep affection for Xi Yunjian to the point where he is in a situation where he has traveled thousands of miles to find a husband, and Mama Wu has a way to make Xi Cui compromise. (To be continued.) )
