Chapter 16 Xu Tingyuan's Letter
Don't mention Shen Huizhi's grievances.
Shen An, the head of the Shen family, went early, Shen Huizhi, Shen Huifeng, Shen Huiqiu and Shen Yunying were all young, and none of the uncles in the clan were eyeing their orphans and widows. But Mrs. Shen relied on her own and worked hard to manage it, but in the end, she did not let the family property left by Shen An fall aside, and even made the Shen family become the richest man in Yangzhou.
Mrs. Shen's ability can be seen!
Listening to Shen Huifeng finish telling the ins and outs of the matter, Mrs. Shen's attention was not on who put the note at all, but hit the nail on the head and said: "Regardless of whether San Lang's disappearance has anything to do with the Hua family, and the Hua family still has one, it can't be done." ”
Shen Huifeng said in his heart, sure enough, the old lady is still powerful! At that moment, he hurriedly repeated his previous guess and said, "It's not that my son has to earn that money, there is really no way." ”
Old Mrs. Shen sneered and said, "You are also dozens of years old, this world is not as simple as black and white." In this world, nine times out of ten, unsatisfactory things happen, and our Shen family is not uncooperative with the Hua family for no reason, how can the Hua family hate us? ”
Shen Huifeng's eyes lit up, and he smiled and went to pinch the old lady's shoulder: "What did mother say?" The son is dull, so he naturally needs his mother's advice. ”
Old Mrs. Shen said: "Your third brother is missing, and something so big has happened, who still has the heart to talk about business?" When your third brother comes back, the fur business in Jinju looks good, so let your third brother sign a deed with the people over there! ”
The meaning is already very clear, Shen Huiqiu is now gone, and the Shen family is dragging the Hua family with this excuse, and no one can find a mistake. As for the fur business in Jinzhou, Shen Huifeng has actually been inspected a long time ago, although it is not as profitable as Hainan, but it is not a loss. When the time comes, Shen Huiqiu will sign the deed, and the Shen family's cash will be trapped, where is there room to do water production?
This unexpected cooperation has always been between Hua Yude and Shen Huifeng, Shen Huiqiu ran to sign a contract with others, and Hua Yude can't blame Shen Huifeng. As for Shen Huiqiu, he Huayude wants to blame, but he can't blame him!
Yangzhou is rich, not counting the Shen family, and it is not impossible for the Hua family to find others to cooperate.
It can't be said that the Shen family is a "dead friend who is not a poor man", but since he has guessed that there is someone behind the Hua family, the Shen family is just a merchant, how dare he come to them? It's good to be able to avoid it safely.
Shen Huizhi suddenly realized, and said happily: "It's still my mother!" Tomorrow, I will only say that the third brother disappeared because he went to Jinju to investigate the fur business, and the Hua family can't turn their faces against us at this juncture, so no matter whether the third brother's disappearance has anything to do with them or not, they will come up with a warm attitude, so that our Shen family can buy their love and agree to cooperate! ”
Old Lady Shen glanced at Shen Huizhi faintly, and said, "I'll just say that you are the most cunning of the three brothers, and you still say no!" ”
At this time, Shen Huizhi was really crying and laughing.
Anyway, with Old Lady Shen out of the horse, Shen Huizhi and Shen Huifeng were relieved. From the current point of view, the disappearance of the third brother is not entirely a bad thing. It's just that all the benefits are not as important as Shen Huiqiu's safety.
Although Mrs. Shen didn't say it, Shen Huizhi and Shen Huifeng brothers also understood in their hearts that there was another possibility, that is, Shen Huiqiu would not come back.
If Mrs. Shen doesn't mention it, how dare the two brothers mention it! Hurry back immediately, one arranges to go to Hua's house tomorrow, and the other arranges to visit Lord Yin of Yangzhou City tomorrow.
Xu Qirong returned to Shuangpu Courtyard and barely ate half a bowl of rice, so he couldn't eat it anymore.
She remembered that in her previous life, her third uncle was living well, and she heard that her second cousin Shen He came to the capital to find the Xu family and wanted to marry her as a concubine, which was the travel expenses that the third uncle saved for her second cousin.
Not only is the third uncle alive and well, but everyone in the Shen family is alive. It's just a hard life. This time, if something really happened to the third uncle, the cooperation between the Shen family and the Hua family would naturally not be mentioned again, and the Shen family would not be defeated again.
It's just that which is more important, the wealth of the Shen family or the life of the third uncle?
Xu Qirong regretted it a little. It's just that there is no way to regret it, so I have to pray that the third uncle can return safely!
From this day on, Xu Qirong will not only help Shen Yunying copy the scriptures every day, but also help Shen Huiqiu copy two more scriptures praying for peace, and then let the maids take them to the Buddhist hall to worship.
For this, Shen Yahui was very grateful, and treated Xu Qirong even more kindly. Even Chen's was very moved when he knew about it, and he often got delicious and fun food and sent it to Shuangpu Courtyard.
In this way, Xu Qirong felt even more self-conscious. Because there are things hidden in my heart, I can't eat well and sleep well.
The Shen family was busy looking for Shen Huiqiu, so they didn't pay much attention to it. But the eldest grandmother Jin saw it in her eyes, and she was only a little girl because she was homesick. From time to time, he brought people with him, spoke comfortingly, and coaxed him to eat more appetizing snacks.
When Mrs. Shen noticed that Xu Qirong had lost a lot, and saw that the Jin family took good care of Xu Qirong, she didn't say anything.
The Shen family is in a troubled situation, and Yu Qiu and the others naturally can't say that the Shen family doesn't pay attention to Xu Qirong. It was Han's mother who said bad things about the Shen family from time to time and stabbed a few words in front of Xu Qirong. Xu Qirong was upset, and he didn't let Han's mother serve him closely. Han's mother was so angry that she couldn't do it.
The weather in the south is warmer than in the north, not long after the first month, there are peach blossoms, the Shen family's florists have their own unique techniques, at this time, the peach blossoms in the Shen family garden have competed, compared to the one or two peach blossoms in the city that are put in the morning, the Shen family garden is even more smoky and fierce.
On this day, the sun is just right, and the spring is warmly sprinkled on the layers of peach blossoms, which is even more delicate, and the whole garden looks very dreamy. Even some rough mothers-in-law couldn't help but beg the gardener to give her the pruned peach blossoms and take them back to her son to please the girl.
Xu Qirong copied the scriptures as usual, and after copying for two hours, he felt that his eyes were a little sour, so he walked to the garden to look at the peach blossoms.
Just as she was distracted, Han's mother suddenly broke in with a happy face, still holding something like a letter in her hand.
Xu Qirong frowned, and then heard Han's mother say loudly: "Miss, the master has sent a letter!" ”
Han's mother felt that her young lady had been treating her so coldly recently because they were in the Shen family. When she returned to Xu's house, the young lady naturally treated her the same as before. Therefore, after hearing the letter from the porter, Han's mother hurriedly went to ask the porter for the letter, and took it to Xu Qirong.
Yu Qiu's face was happy, Xu Qirong was unhappy recently, she also saw it in her eyes, Yu Qiu's thoughts in her heart were the same as the Jin family, so she was too happy to see the letter from the Xu family. Hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter from Han's mother's hand, took out the letter paper and handed it to Xu Qirong.
Xu Qirong took the letter, and his mood was indescribable. This is Xu Tingyuan's letter to her, in the previous life, Xu Tingyuan still hated her and hated her so much that he personally sent someone to kill her.
Seeing Xu Qirong in a daze, Yu Qiu hurriedly shouted: "Girl." ”
Xu Qirong came back to his senses, remembered the way Yu Qiu took the letter just now, his face sank, and asked Han's mother: "You opened the letter?" ”
Yu Qiu took out the letter paper directly from the inside of the envelope, and there was no sealing wax on it.
"Nope!" Mother Han was startled and hurriedly said, "I took the letter from the concierge, could it be that the concierge opened the letter?" ”
Yu Qiu shouted coldly: "Nonsense, how can the porter of the Shen family tear down our Xu family's letter!" ”
Han's mother couldn't help but say: "This is what I got the letter from the concierge, and I can't read, what are you doing with it?" ”
At this time, Yu Qiu also hesitated and asked Xu Qirong: "Girl, do you want to call the porter to ask?" ”
Xu Qirong shook his head: "The Shen family is busy looking for the third uncle, let's not make trouble." This letter could not have been demolished by the concierge, nor was it dismantled by Han's mother, it is estimated that Xu ...... Daddy forgot to seal the letter after writing it, and I don't know. ”
How could you forget to seal the wax! The old man just forgot to seal the wax, and the little maids or maids around him will naturally remember to seal it.
Yu Qiu saw that Xu Qirong didn't care, and swallowed the words back.
Xu Qirong didn't have the heart to look at the peach blossoms, so he stuffed the letter to Yu Qiu and said, "I'm also tired, let's go back to the Frost Pu Courtyard!" ”
Han's mother reminded loudly: "Miss, you haven't read the letter yet. ”
Xu Qirong glanced at Mother Han with cold eyes, and Mother Han didn't dare to say any more.
When he returned to the Shuangpu Courtyard, Yu Qiu pinched the letter and asked Xu Qirong: "Miss, why don't you read the letter?" I'm afraid the master is telling us to go back! ”
Xu Qirong said expressionlessly: "I guessed that I was asking us to go back, what does it matter if you don't read this letter or not?" ”
Yu Qiu felt that Xu Qirong's words were wrong, and he couldn't think of what was wrong, so he saw that Xu Qirong was determined not to read the letter, so he had to stuff the letter back into the envelope and put it away.
Xu Qirong didn't care about Yu Qiu, and thought about his own things by himself. To be honest, she was always hated by Xu Tingyuan in her previous life, but she didn't hate Xu Tingyuan, after all, it was her father. Even if Xu Tingyuan told the world a letter of severance and severed the father-daughter relationship, she didn't hate Xu Tingyuan.
On the contrary, she felt that Xu Tingyuan would hate herself, and it was all her own fault. If it weren't for the fact that he was always competing with his stepmother and making the family restless, how could Xu Tingyuan avoid her? If it weren't for the fact that his reputation was ruined by someone else's design, how could Xu Tingyuan refuse to recognize her as the only bloodline?
However, it shouldn't be, Xu Ting shouldn't have thought about killing her before he died!
A father who wants to kill himself, Xu Qirong really has no way to face it. She didn't dare to open the letter, she was afraid that she would go crazy when she saw Xu Tingyuan's words.
After a while, a maid came to Nanyun Courtyard, saying that Mrs. Shen asked Xu Qirong to go. Xu Qirong restrained his thoughts and hurriedly followed, but he was panicked in his heart.
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Qirong entered the house, she saw Mrs. Shen smiling and said to her, "Sister Rong, come here." Have you read your father's letter? The Xu family sent someone to pick you up, and it will be there in two days. ”
