Chen Qiuniang originally said it casually, but she didn't expect Xiaoqing to ask about it after talking about it endlessly.

"Oh, you don't know that." Chen Qiuniang said casually.

"Yanagimura's?" Xiaoqing is obviously very eyeless, and the subtext of the reply "You don't know" is "I don't want to sue you", but she continues to dig up the roots and ask.

"Not anymore." Chen Qiuniang is not so stupid, as soon as she says that she is from Liucun, she has to answer who is from Liucun. And the people of Liucun, she Xiaoqing may be seen at any time, and when the time comes, she will pull someone casually and ask some questions, and she will be exposed in an instant.

"Oh." Xiaoqing seemed to finally realize that Chen Qiuniang didn't really want to sue her.

"Okay, what the hell is going on outside, I haven't said it yet." Chen Qiuniang straightened her clothes, and she felt a headache when she heard the noise in the alley that should have been silent outside.

Xiaoqing simply put the dishes and chopsticks on the flower stand next to him and told him everything that had happened before. said that the dog in Liuhe Town barked all night last night, and a distant relative of the Zhu family was killed by a house slave, and the son of Nian Nu was also seriously injured. The murderous house slave ran away, so the Zhu family reported to the official and asked Mayor Fang to close the four gates, and the government sent soldiers to guard the four gates, and no one was allowed to enter or exit. The Zhu Mansion dispatched all the guards to search for the fugitives from house to house.

"I know that. Last night, I had dinner with Zhu Gongzi in Tianxiang Building, and a little girl came to report it. It was said that their son was seriously injured. Chen Qiuniang waved her hand and motioned for Xiaoqing to skip these and say something else.

"Well, this Zhu Mansion guard searched door to door, and they were busy all night." Xiaoqing said.

Chen Qiuniang felt that this Xiaoqing really didn't have any eyesight, and her narration ability was not good, so she frowned. said: "Then why are you surrounding the Yunlai Hotel, and now you are still making noise at the gate of this Chen Mansion?" ”

"Ah, cousin, you are with Zhu Gongzi. Didn't he say who the murderer was? Xiaoqing looked surprised.

Chen Qiuniang shook her head, and Xiaoqing hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "It's the Northland barbarian in the town before, that Chai Yu." Zhu Gongzi searched many places, but he couldn't find it. In the end, he said that he had no choice but to search the Yunlai Hotel and the Chen family, and said that he should have believed that the Chen family and the Yunlai Hotel would not harbor the fugitives. But then Chai Yu and Gongzi are old acquaintances, so he has to search for them. ”

"Just let him search it. Why bother with sabre-rattling and affecting business. Chen Qiuniang couldn't understand why Chen Wenzheng didn't let Zhu Wenkang search.

Xiaoqing let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "It's not that we didn't let Zhu Gongzi search, but the guests of the wealthy banquet felt disturbed, and resolutely refused to let the arresters enter the Yunlai Hotel, and let his subordinates confront the Zhu Mansion guards at the gate of the wealthy banquet." ”

Yo, there are such guests. Chen Qiuniang was very interested, and immediately asked, "Who is the guest?" Such a temper. ”

"The third son of the Linqiong Ye family, I brought a group of people here, and the wealthy banquet I ordered last night simply stayed at the wealthy banquet." Xiaoqing said. Immediately, I was afraid that Chen Qiuniang would not know about the Linqiong Ye family, so I immediately popularized science for her.

Xiaoqing said that Linqiong is one of the important towns in the Chengdu Plain, during which there are two wealthy families, which have existed here since the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, referring to the Zhuo family and the Ye family. The Zhuo family is the maiden family of Zhuo Wenjun, who eloped with someone, of course, that maiden family is a big family, and the family is mainly engaged in brewing and silk weaving. The Linqiong Ye family has been in charge of the salt industry in Shuzhong since the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, and salt wells are all over Shuzhong to mine brine and make salt. Even in Fushun County, the derricks in the entire county belong to the Ye family. It is said that they have been in charge of the salt pans in the southern miasma, the land of bitter water, and use the salt drying method to extract the salt of bitter water.

"In short, 90% of the salt needed by the dignitaries and nobles now comes from the Ye family. The salt for our wealthy feast was also ordered in person at the Ye family's salt well. Cousin, think about it, a salt-making family. Even if there is a change of dynasty, anyone who sits on the country has to rely on the Ye family. The taxes paid by the Ye family are an important source of state funds. And this Ye Sangongzi is said to be not the heir, but he is also one of the selected rulers, of course he doesn't take Zhu Gongzi in his eyes. Xiaoqing said with a sigh.

Chen Qiuniang also gasped when she heard this, she only knew that the Linqiong Ye family was a century-old family and was involved in the salt industry, but she never thought that the salt industry had been made so big, so big that the rulers of all dynasties had to be polite to the Ye family.

However, judging from what Xiaoqing just said about drying salt or something, this is obviously a new skill left by the pit traverser to the Ye family. In this way, they have revolutionized the salt industry, and they are forced to say that they will not change history.

Chen Qiuniang despised the predecessors who formulated the ** ancestral training in her heart.

"Still standoff?" Chen Qiuniang asked.

"Yes, this fact is not easy to handle, and my son-in-law is also very embarrassed. From the early hours of the morning, they began to look at each other, and the saber rattling. Chen Mo couldn't handle it, so he asked Panqing to come back and dig out the son who was so tired that he collapsed on the bed in order to find you that he was digging out of the quilt and dragging him to the front. However, the two sides are still deadlocked and have not been resolved. Xiaoqing sighed, and there seemed to be a lot of dissatisfaction with Chen Qiuniang's lack of return at night and running to drink with the old man.

Chen Qiuniang pretended not to see that she was not busy, and asked, "What's going on outside the door?" ”

"Oh, there is Zhu Gongzi's person outside the door, saying that Zhu Gongzi went back to Tianxianglou again last night, and he didn't see you, and I heard that Xiuxiu said that you were taken away by a son, and that son knocked her unconscious. Zhu Gongzi was about to look for you, and searched Liuhe Town again, but he didn't see anyone. insisted on searching Chen's house, but the son refused to let him search. Let me see, I saw that your shoes were outside the door, and sandalwood was burning in the house, so I went out and replied to them that the son was asleep and had not woken up yet. Then Zhu Gongzi sent someone to wait at the door in a carriage, and also sent a team of people in the alley, saying that he had made an appointment to accompany you to Qingquan Temple to pick up his wife back, and the heavy rain in the past few days may cause flash floods, and Qingquan Temple may be in danger or something. Xiao Qingxu chattered, and finally made things clear.

"Oh. I see. Okay, I'll take care of it, you go get busy first. Chen Qiuniang waved her hand and strode out the door.

When the sharp-eyed guards of the Zhu Mansion outside the door saw Chen Qiuniang, they immediately bowed over and said with a smile: "Gongzi Jiang, my son-in-law ordered the youngest to accompany Gongzi to Qingquan Temple to pick up Mrs. Chen." After saying that, he also made a gesture of please, saying, "Please get in the car." ”

Chen Qiuniang looked at the beautifully decorated car and the escort team that looked like forty or fifty people sent out, and asked the leader: "Where is your son-in-law?" ”

"Back to Gongzi Jiang, my son-in-law can't come because there is something to deal with in the house, so he will come to accompany him." The man replied with a bow.

Zhu Wenkang didn't come! This trip to Qingquan Temple was originally for Zhu Wenkang's sake, otherwise sending Xiaoqing would be able to bring Mrs. Chen back, so why should she go on a trip in person.

"What are you? Accompany this child? Chen Qiuniang shouted.

The man was embarrassed, and then his expression did not change, his eyebrows were full of smiles, and he bowed down and replied: "Hui Gongzi Jiang, the little cheap name Zhu Dafu." ”

"And if you have returned to your son-in-law, if you do not want to go with you, you need not send any man. I am not feeling well today, so go back. Chen Qiuniang said coldly.

Everyone didn't move, and Chen Qiuniang ignored it, and shouted at Zhu Dafu: "Get out of the way." ”

Zhu Dafu hesitated, then waved his hand, only to hear the uniform sound of soldiers, those people retreated and opened a way, Chen Qiuniang folded the fan, and went to the wealthy feast without looking back. As he walked, he said, "Go back and tell your son-in-law, you don't need him to go, I'll go in person tomorrow." ”

"The little one obeys Jiang Gongzi's orders." Zhu Dafu said loudly.

Chen Qiuniang didn't pay attention to it anymore, and went straight to the back door of the wealthy feast, only to see the Zhu family guards and the Ye family guards in black confronting each other. She snorted coldly, "Get out of the way." ”

The people turned to look at her, and she swept the crowd with cold eyes, and asked, "As the master of the rich feast, can't I go in?" ”

"Ah, it's Jiang Gongzi, it's the little ones who are not sensible." A person immediately appeared next to him, and said with a grin. This person was one of the several guards who accompanied Zhu Wenkang to the banquet of the wealthy family that day.

Chen Qiuniang ignored it, only rolled up her sleeves and entered the wealthy feast. Chen Mo and the others were all in the kitchen, as busy as no one, studying the new orders. She was very satisfied with the work attitude of these people, and after going around the kitchen and warehouse, she went to the office to find Chen Wenzheng.

In the office, Chen Wen was leaning back in a chair, rubbing his aching forehead, discussing with Pan Qing how to deal with the matter in front of him. Chen Qiuniang walked in and said loudly, "Big brother, why worry." If the Zhu family wants to search, then Chai Yu is not here. ”

"Danfeng, you're back." Chen Wenzheng suddenly got up from the chair, walked up quickly, pinched his arm, looked at it carefully, and his expression relaxed.

"Big brother, I'm back." Chen Qiuniang looked at Chen Wenzheng with a smile, but she wanted to cry inexplicably. The man in front of her was obviously worried about her for a night.

"You went to Tianxianglou to eat, I thought it was inappropriate. But just thinking about eating, this is under the nose, nothing will happen. So, I pinched the time to pick you up. But when I went, Zhu Wenkang had already left, and it was said that something had happened in Zhu's mansion. I asked the porter of Tianxiang Building, and said that if you have not left, I will go to you. But when I got there, there was only Xiuxiu who fainted, Danfeng, the eldest brother was really scared-" Chen Wenzheng said, with a frightened look on his face.

Chen Qiuniang pursed her lips like a little girl and whispered, "Big brother, I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, just come back." Chen Wenzheng smiled, not saying that he went crazy to look for her last night, and he didn't sleep.

Chen Qiuniang looked at the deep dark circles under his eyes, and only felt deep guilt, so she said: "It was I who met the old man, so I was greedy for fun." Big brother, don't blame me, wherever I go in the future, I will report to my family. ”

"In the future, the eldest brother will not allow you to go to any banquet alone, Zhu Wenkang's kind of person-" Chen Wenzheng said this, and suddenly realized that Chen Qiuniang was going to marry Zhu Wenkang, and his good cultivation made this upright man not say any more.

"Okay, I promised my eldest brother that I wouldn't go to the banquet alone in the future." Chen Qiuniang was coquettish, and then asked about the specific situation here. Pan Qing said it concisely, but it was similar to what Xiaoqing said.

"It's not easy to deal with. Neither side can be offended, and the headache is a headache. Chen Wenzheng frowned, looking tired.

"Big brother, not necessarily. Do you know who I met last night? Chen Qiuniang had a plan in mind at this time, secretly thinking that since Ye Xuan was here, Zhang Ci must have arranged it for them. So, such a person is here, don't use it in vain.

"Who?" Chen Wenzheng asked immediately.

"Ye Xuan, the third son of the Linqiong Ye family." Chen Qiuniang replied.

Chen Wenzheng was extremely surprised, opened his mouth wide, and asked for a while: "You, when did you meet?" ”

"After coming down from Zhuxi Mountain last time, does my eldest brother remember that I was thrown on the official road by Zhang Ci?" Chen Qiuniang began to make up nonsense, anyway, Chen Wen would not ask Ye Xuan and Zhang Ci.

Chen Wenzheng nodded, and Chen Qiuniang continued to make up, saying, "The Zhang family and the Ye family are feuds. After Zhang Ci left me behind, it was the third son of the Linqiong Ye family who sent Jiang Feng's brothers and sisters to bring me back. ”

"Ah, then you know the Linqiong Ye family, why didn't you invite them to join the shares that day?" Pan Qing suddenly interjected.

"We promised Jiang Hang first, don't forget that Jiang Hang represents the Zhang family." Chen Qiuniang immediately dragged out of Jianghang.

Panqing nodded and said, "That's the same." ”

Chen Qiuniang ignored him and said directly to Chen Wenzheng: "I am an old acquaintance with Ye Xuan, I will persuade Ye Gongzi, it should be okay, eldest brother should not have a headache, Danfeng has made the eldest brother tired, I hope the eldest brother can rest and rest, just leave the matter here to me." ”

"Yes, Childe, you're too tired, and if you go out like this, you'll scare the guests." Pan Qing also took the opportunity to say.

Chen Qiuniang smiled and said, "I know that if you go back, you won't be able to sleep well, so you can sleep here, and when I take care of it, we will go back together." As she spoke, she went to the back of the screen and made the bed for Chen Wenzheng.

After that, she went to Ye Xuan's private room, preparing to meet this Ye Sangongzi for a while, talk about life, talk about ideals, and explore the final results they agreed upon.

She came to the private room on the third floor, named: Youlanxuan, and there was a black-clad guard standing at the door. Chen Qiuniang explained her intentions, and the man knocked on the door and whispered, "Son, there is a son named Jiang Danfeng who said that he was your old acquaintance and wanted to see you." ”

"Let him in." Ye Xuan's lazy voice sounded in the room.

The man in black opened the door for Chen Qiuniang. She pushed the door in, turned the large silk screen of the Hollow Valley Youlantu, and saw that in the private room of Linlanxi River, Ye Xuan was wearing a pale silk robe and a golden crown with her hair. At this moment, Ye Xuan was sitting on the soft couch, leaning against the window with a glass of wine, looking at the scenery outside the window.

"You're here." He said, not looking back.

"I heard that the deceased was here, so I naturally came to visit." Chen Qiuniang chuckled, then stepped forward and sat down on the soft couch on the other side of the coffee table, sitting opposite him and leaning against the window.

At this moment, the sky was full of flowers flying outside the window, Ye Xuan smiled on his lips and asked, "If I ask for marriage, are you willing to marry me?" ”RS
