Chapter 682 - Na He Eight
After a few days, she went out to work again, Chu Mingxin raised her hand to block the morning light a little uncomfortable, Xiaomei smiled happily, and Granny Zhang quietly told her that if she was sure that the brother was the young master of the family, if she could get a thank you gift, she would buy her delicious food and make up for her, and if there was good material, she would cut new clothes.
Xiaomei was very happy when she thought of having delicious food and new clothes, and she jumped up and down when she walked.
I just came to the front of the shop, but I saw that there was a seal on the door of the shop, and the door had not been cleaned for a few days, and the fallen leaves were rolling in the wind, which was particularly unbearable compared with the neat shop next to it.
Xiaomei let go of Chu Mingxin's hand and ran to the store next door to find someone to inquire about the news, and after a while, she ran back in a panic, "Sister, the shop has been sealed by the government, the shopkeeper and the steward have been taken away, and the guys and brothers have also been arrested into the government." ”
The female guy from the cloth shop next door to the calligraphy and painting shop heard the movement and ran over with a rag, "Huh? Are you two okay? ”
"We had something at home, so we took a few days off." Chu Mingxin didn't have a very good impression of her, because this female guy had a big mouth, as long as she knew everything, it didn't take long for all the businesses on this street to know.
"Ouch! I'm glad you took a leave of absence, otherwise! He will definitely be arrested by the government. ”
"How could our shop suddenly be seized?"
The female guy lowered her voice and whispered: "I heard that I was sued to the government for selling fake goods, and the government sent someone to investigate, and sure enough, fake paintings, treasures, and antiques were found in the store. Your shopkeeper was punched twice, and when he was brought out, he was bleeding all over his face! ”
Chu Mingxin was blindsided when she only heard the three words of Lu Wangfu, she actually went to work in her own shop without knowing it? How could this be? Before she left the boudoir, she had helped her mother manage the family's property, why hadn't she heard of this shop?
Xiaomei didn't notice that she was distracted, and chatted energetically with the female buddies of Buzhuang. Xiaomei is small. But he knows the trick of chatting with people, and asks from time to time, and then what? What's next? Plus an exclamation or two. Let the female fellow be eager to take out all the news she knows in her stomach and offer treasures.
After talking for a long time, the female guy went back satisfied, and Xiaomei also picked up all the gossip news that happened on the street these days.
Turning his head to look at the seal on the shop. She raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and the shop was sealed. Does Granny Zhang know? If I had known, why didn't I tell them yesterday, otherwise they wouldn't have had to run this trip in vain.
"The shop has been seized, and we won't have any work to make money! Sister. Let's go find my mother-in-law, shall we? ”
Chu Mingxin nodded in a complicated mood, did her mother know that she was doing things in this shop? Why was the shop closed? The shopkeeper has already revealed the identity of the owner, why don't the people in the government buy it? A barrage of questions filled her mind.
Xiao Mei took her for a while. I found that she had been absent-minded, thinking that she was worried about what to do without a job. didn't make any noise with her, just pulled her to the carp alley.
When she walked to the mouth of the alley, she saw two people coming onto her, Xiaomei's face changed, and she couldn't help but hide behind Chu Mingxin.
"You dead girl, are you dumb? I won't say hello when I see your mother, call me? In vain I conceived in October, I finally gave birth to you, and pulled you up, why, you don't have to recognize me when you climb a high branch? ”
"Big sister, it's okay!" Uncle Xiaomei frowned and helped the burden on his shoulders, he was leaving, what are you angry with a child? Alas! He squatted in front of Xiaomei, looking at the little girl's eyes, Xiaomei's eyes were born well, like him and his sister, thinking that at the beginning, the merchant would accept her as an outer room because he saw his sister's eyes.
What a pity! Bad luck, my sister gave birth to a daughter.
"Your mother is getting married, and my uncle sent her out of the cabinet, this time, it will take about half a year to come back, you have to take good care of yourself."
Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at her mother, her mother turned her head angrily, "What are you doing?" You don't think that the old lady will guard that broken inn for the rest of her life, waiting for your father who has no conscience to turn back, right? Hum! The old lady is married to be a good lady, turn around, if people treat you badly, you will find your uncle, let him send you to me, but it is better not to come. ”
Say this in front of Chu Mingxin, okay? Uncle Xiaomei straightened up a little embarrassed, smiled apologetically at Chu Ming, and then pulled his sister away with a hard pull.
I don't know when I will see you again, but I will never see each other again? Xiaomei turned around and watched in a daze as the two people staggered out of the alley, disappearing in the crowd in the dazzling sunlight.
This time, the person who lost his soul was replaced by Xiaomei, Chu Ming glanced at her worriedly, and led her to find Granny Zhang.
Granny Zhang was still sitting in the old seat, and when she saw them coming, she asked them to sit, poured tea for them, and asked, "Did you see your mother?" ”
"Huh!" Xiaomei responded.
Seeing that the little girl was a little lonely, Granny Zhang sighed, "Actually! At the beginning of last year, someone proposed to your mother, but your mother refused, your uncle persuaded her a few times, she didn't want it, after the New Year, I don't know how she suddenly figured it out, but, that family is in Dingzhou, knowing that your mother is willing to marry, so happy that he rushed to come to the capital to marry, but he had to let your mother go. ”
Xiaomei thought that her mother had sold her, but she was still in Beijing, and she missed her mother, so she secretly ran back to take a look, but now, even if she comes back, she can't see her mother.
Granny Zhang didn't wait for Xiaomei to come back to her senses, she turned to Chu Mingxin again, "You guys went to the shop today, do you know what happened?" ”
"Got it." Chu Ming's heart was a little dazed, there was no job and no income, how would they live a big and small life?
"They are also detained in the government, you are also a guy in the shop, I am afraid that in two days, the yacha will also find you to interrogate, you can rest assured, what they ask you to answer is, wait for this lawsuit, I will help you find a job, speaking of which, the calligraphy and painting shop in Beicheng, I still have acquaintances, but if you want to go to work in Beicheng, it is best to find a place to live nearby, I don't have a house in Beicheng, I can only find a relationship to rent."
Granny Zhang chattered and pulled the two of them to talk for a long time. It was nearly noon, and the people were left to eat, and the people were released after a lunch break.
Back in the courtyard, Granny Zhang invited the mother-in-law who had come to help take care of the man and came out of the house where the man was resting with a basin of water.
"You're back!"
"Huh. Is that guy okay today? Has the fever subsided? Chu Mingxin asked lazily.
The mother-in-law looked at her in surprise, "He's gone!" The people in his family came to find it today, and it was confirmed that it was their young master, and the doctor who invited him said that he could move it. And they took the people away. ”
Chu Ming's eyes widened. "Taken away?" Just left, without even saying thank you?
"yes!" The mother-in-law didn't understand what Chu Mingxin was surprised about. "He's a man and he's badly wounded, and he's always living here. It's inconvenient, right? When the people of their family came to look for them, it was naturally better for them to take them back and wait. ”
Chu Mingxin couldn't tell what he was thinking for a while, and after listening to his mother-in-law's words, he smiled a little sheepishly. took Xiaomei back to the room.
The mother-in-law finished scrubbing the empty room and helped them boil hot water. He took his leave and left.
Xiaomei was trapped in the sorrow of parting from her mother, and Chu Mingxin was thinking, did her mother know that she was doing things in the shop in the palace? If only she knew. Why didn't you come to her? You don't know, right?
And why was the shop closed? She knew that the paintings sold in the shop were fake, but the shopkeeper was very careful to pick customers, not customers who had come and gone several times. They won't let them pick those paintings, so who is going to sue the official? The shopkeeper has indicated that the owner is the Lu Wangfu. Why didn't those yacha buy it?
When Chu Mingxin was puzzled, Mrs. Lu Wang Shizi was scolding, "Okay, how could the shop be sealed?" Did you send someone to the government and say it? That's the dowry shop of our aunt and grandmother of King Lu's mansion. ”
"Madam, I said it, I went to say it, and the people from the yamen said that they knew that the shop belonged to our aunt and grandmother, so they never dared to harass it." The sweat on the forehead of the steward who replied kept coming out, and he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it, so he could only let the sweat beads slowly fall on the terrazzo bricks.
"I didn't go to harass, but as soon as I went, it was seized!" Mrs. Lu Wang Shizi slapped the table angrily, and the white jade bracelets in her hands struck each other to make a crisp sound.
The steward shrunk into a ball, not daring to speak, and no one dared to speak when a needle fell in the room.
After a long time, Mrs. Shizi eased down and asked, "What are the things sold in the shop, and whose taboo has it committed?" ”
Lu Wangfu is a clan, the calligraphy and painting shop was seized, the yamen didn't buy it, and he must take someone to seal the shop, it must be a more powerful person than Lu Wangfu to confess, who will it be?
The answer is imminent.
But, Mrs. Shizi can't figure it out, why?
The prince is better informed than Mrs. Shizi, he knows that it was assigned by the emperor, but why did the emperor suddenly seize Chu Mingyue's dowry shop? He didn't know that his daughter had taken more than a dozen imitation paintings and several cars of imitation antiques from his workshop in Jizhou.
"What kind of wind is the emperor smoking? Okay, what are you doing at our house? ”
The clan that does business in the whole capital is not only the king of Lu, why only check his family, and don't other people's families seal it? "Prepare the horse, I'll go see Zongzheng."
If the emperor thought that he could target him for no reason, he would not sit still.
hurriedly went to see Zongzheng's mansion, Zongzheng's fox had already avoided under the pretext.
King Lu took the reins of his horse, looked gloomily at the gate of Zongzheng's mansion, and only turned around and rode away after a long time, Zongzheng got the news, so he crawled out from under the bed and asked the beautiful concubine who was sitting on the chair in front of the bed, "Gone?" ”
"Let's go!" The beautiful concubine rolled her eyes angrily, he was still Zongzheng! What are you afraid of the son of an idle clan?
"Oops! You don't understand, you don't understand, King Lu's eyes are not honest! It's not a safe one, it's going to cause trouble. Zong Zheng patted the clothes on his body, came to the side of the beautiful concubine, salivated and laughed: "Come on, come on, kiss the master, but you're scared, right?" ”
Who's scared? The beautiful concubine slandered, but she smiled coquettishly and put her tall chest against Zongzheng's face, "You touch it, your heart is beating in a hurry!" ”
King Lu Shizi galloped wildly, returned to the palace, entered the Yimen, threw the reins to the door, and strode to the outer study, only to reach the door of the study, and saw a small panting running over, "Shizi, this is the news that has just come from Huzhou." ”
When Wang Shizi Lu opened the letter, it was actually written by Chu Mingyue, and the letter mentioned that she took the things from the Jizhou workshop and sent them to the shop in Beijing to sell, and asked her father to send someone to help her keep an eye on it, so as not to let the shopkeeper and steward of the shop take advantage of her.
Seeing this, what he couldn't figure out was suddenly figured out by King Lu! This dead girl didn't even tell her! It's just that the emperor's movements are too fast, right? He just received a letter and learned that his daughter had done this, but the emperor had already sent someone to seal the shop? Was there anything he didn't know about? (To be continued)
