Chapter 4 Who Sells Illicit Salt?

Xu Qirong remembered that when she returned to the Xu family in the capital from Yangzhou, she fell ill again because of the cold spring. During that period, the Shen family had sent people to the Xu family to see her.

Now that I think about it, the Shen family actually came to ask for the help of the Xu family at that time. But at that time, my father didn't care about anything, and my uncle looked down on the merchant the most, so the Shen family returned in vain.

Later, Xu Qirong learned from a few broken-mouthed mothers-in-law that the Shen family was selling illicit salt and was caught. At that time, I was young, and I only felt that businessmen really valued profit over righteousness, and even did such illegal things.

At this time, when I thought about it, I felt that the Shen family was just a merchant, except for the Xu family, the in-laws, who did not have the slightest background in the officialdom, how dare they sell illicit salt? Moreover, the Shen family is already the richest man in Yangzhou City, money is such a thing, if life is not brought to death, why should they risk the risk of raiding their families and exterminating their families to sell illicit salt?

Moreover, if the Shen family really sold illicit salt, not to mention that the Xu family did not help at the beginning, even if the Xu family mediated it, it would be impossible for the Shen family to get out.

Xu Qirong felt a chill in his heart, if what those mothers-in-law said was true, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Shen family's fate would be full of beheadings, if it was fake, why did the Shen family fall so completely?

Xu Qirong felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

Sister Ru was startled when she saw Xu Qirong like this, glared at Shen Yahui, and stretched out her hand to press Xu Qirong's temple: "What's the matter?" Got another headache? Then I didn't know what I thought, and I rubbed Xu Qirong's stomach again, "Shouldn't I have eaten too many balls!" ”

Xu Qirong shook his head, signaling that he was fine, and then asked Sister Hui again: "What are we doing with the Hua family?" ”

Sister Hui also felt strange when she saw Xu Qirong asking this question repeatedly: "Sister Rong, what's wrong with you?" Why don't you ask the maid to go out and find a doctor to come in and have a look? ”

Seeing Shen Yahui and Shen Yaru like this, Xu Qirong had no choice but to smile and say, "It's okay, I'm just a little sleepy." Third cousin, fourth cousin, let's go to sleep, or we'll fall asleep at dinner. ”

The maids also followed along and persuaded: "What Miss Cousin said is, Miss Third and Miss Fourth should go to sleep, don't wake up the old lady." ”

Although Shen Yahui still wanted to pull her sister and sister to gossip for a while, seeing that everyone said so, she also gave up. The three sisters slept in a row covered with a quilt. Because they were worried that Xu Qirong would not be able to cover the quilt well, Shen Yahui and Shen Yaru squeezed her in the middle.

Xu Qirong closed his eyes, but he didn't fall asleep. She was thinking, could it be that the defeat of the Shen family actually had something to do with the Hua family? When she was eating hot pot just now, she asked Shen He, the Shen family has always been in the cloth and silk business, and it has nothing to do with private salt. The Hua family talked to the Shen family about water at this time, and after the New Year, in April and May, the Shen family had an accident.

To say that the Shen family's accident has nothing to do with the Hua family, Xu Qirong doesn't believe it.

It wasn't until he saw Mrs. Shen that Xu Qirong really felt that he was back when he was a child. Since God has given her a chance to do it all over again, she has to live better than her previous life no matter what.

Without a mother, her grandfather's family is her dependence, if she can pull the Shen family, Xu Qirong is willing to do a thousand and ten thousand. It's just that even if she guessed that the defeat of the Shen family had something to do with the Hua family, how could she warn her second uncle?

Shen Huifeng is a strict person, no matter what, he will not believe the words of a little girl who is only six years old. And rebirth is something that can't be spoken, and if people know about it, I'm afraid that they will burn her to death as a ghost.

Xu Qirong's heart was like a hundred claws, he thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a way to work. This body is only six years old, and thinking about it, I fell asleep with sleepiness.

When I woke up again, Sister Hui and Sister Ru had already woken up, and they were playing with their clothes and ropes, and the maids around them whispered to persuade them, because they were afraid of waking up the old lady Shen in the room, so they didn't dare to persuade more.

Seeing that Xu Qirong was awake, Sister Ru smiled and said, "You are awake!" Tell me, is there Sister Hui who is a sister like this, just now she said that she was going to get ink to draw a turtle on your face! ”

Xu Qirong looked at Shen Yahui speechlessly. Shen Yahui gritted her teeth and said, "If you are such a sister, you know how to dismantle my platform." I'm just talking.,It's a real painting.,I don't recognize it.,Sister Rong may think you painted it! ”

Hearing this, Xu Qirong's eyes lit up, and he had been thinking hard for a long time before, but it was better to have a flash of inspiration at this moment. The second uncle didn't believe her words as a six-year-old girl, but what if it was an anonymous warning?!

Xu Qirong's heart was pounding with excitement, and then he thought that even if it was an anonymous warning, he had to have real evidence! I couldn't help but feel cold again.

Sister Hui saw that Xu Qirong didn't speak, thinking that she was angry, and hurriedly said: "Sister Rong, I'm just talking about playing, don't take it seriously, don't be angry, okay?" Why don't I accompany you to turn over the flower rope? ”

Xu Qirong shook his head: "Let's get dressed and get up." I heard that the third cousin and the fourth cousin have been learning needlework from their mother in the red embroidery workshop recently, so they need to practice diligently. I also have to go back to the Frost Puyuan to practice calligraphy. I'm back to Xu's house, and Mr. wants to check. ”

The children of the Xu family, no matter their brothers and sisters, will ask for an enlightenment teacher when they are five years old.

Sister Hui also wanted to say, Xu Qirong hurriedly said: "I'm really not angry, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, I'll play with you." "Sister Hui, that's it.

Back in the Shuangpu Temple, Xu Qirong changed into a soft and comfortable homely soft jacket, and said to Yu Qiu seriously: "Prepare paper and pen, grind ink and burn incense, I want to copy a few "Dizang Bodhisattva Sutras" for my mother." ”

Yu Qiu agreed to prepare, and Mother Liu was a little embarrassed because she was told a few words by Yu Qiu before, so she took Pearl to the side room to do needlework, and Jade served Xu Qirong to clean her hands.

There is a small study in Shuangpu Courtyard, so Xu Qirong went to the small study to copy the scriptures, and on the grounds that he didn't want to be disturbed, he locked Yu Qiu and the others out.

Spreading out the paper, Xu Qirong thought about it, and wrote a few words with a stern face, and every word was written with heart. Xu Qirong had a period of time to be taught by his grandmother, that is, Princess Pingtai, Princess Pingtai was a well-known talented woman, so Xu Qirong's words won the true biography of Princess Pingtai. With a beautiful willow body in one hand, written with heart, the entire Xinchen Kingdom can't find anyone who can stand out.

What Xu Qirong thought was that since the second uncle was able to manage the Shen family to the current situation, he was naturally extremely smart. Writing this anonymous note yourself, even if there is no evidence, can have the effect of waking up. Especially, with this good hand, the second uncle will definitely notice.

As for how to make the second uncle believe in her completely, or rather, to start doubting the Hua family, I'm afraid she needs to see the Hua family first before she can figure out a way.

As long as the second uncle doubts the motives of the Hua family, this water will not be able to do it.

Xu Qirong cut off the blank part of the note, then dried the ink, folded it and put it in his sleeve, and then took a good posture and copied the scriptures with his heart.

When she copied the scriptures, she also took special care to make her words appear immature.

After copying the scriptures for two hours in a row, Xu Qirong stopped and raised his voice to ask Yu Qiu to bring someone in to clean up. Xu Qirong asked casually, "What are the third cousin and fourth cousin doing?" The rain stopped outside, is the second cousin out or at home? You ask people to inquire. ”

Yu Qiu let Yun'er go. After a while, Yun'er came back and replied: "Miss, Miss Third and Miss Fourth are playing nine links in Mrs. Three's room, and the young master of the second table is detained in the study of the second uncle to practice calligraphy." Speaking of this, Yun'er said with a smile, "I heard from the little girl, the second uncle came back in the afternoon and met the people in our room, and asked a few words by the way, knowing that the young lady was copying Buddhist scriptures, and when he went back, he said a few words to the second young master, and locked him in the study to practice calligraphy." ”

Xu Qirong was overjoyed, this was an opportunity. Then he said: "You go to the third cousin's house, ask the third cousin and the fourth cousin, if you don't play with the pitcher, if you do, go to the bridge where the lotus pond is there and wait for me, and then go to the second cousin to play together." Just to 'rescue' my second cousin. ”

Yun'er agreed to go.

Yu Qiu and Jade helped Xu Qirong change his clothes and put on a cloak of white fox fur. Jade said: "The slave maid went to prepare the pot and arrow. "I'm going to go.

Jade was in a hurry, and Xu Qirong hurriedly said: "Don't, the third cousin and the fourth cousin must be ready." ”

As she was talking, Yun'er came back, her little face was flushed, and she opened her mouth before she could catch her breath: "Miss Third and Miss Fourth said that they were going, and Miss Fourth said that she sent the little maid to get the pot and arrow, and Miss didn't need to bring anything." "The eyes are shining, I should want to play with Xu Qirong.

Xu Qirong smiled at Jade: "Look at what I'm talking about, isn't it?" ”

Jade Yele: "Although Miss is young, she is smarter than anyone else. ”

Xu Qirong took Yu Qiu and Yun'er and went out, Yu Qiu was steady, Yun'er was shrewd and obedient. When I arrived at the lotus pond, I saw Shen Yaru and Shen Yahui waiting on the bridge with maids from a distance.

Seeing Xu Qirong coming, Shen Yahui said in a loud voice: "Sister Rong, hurry up, this ...... Eh, that Yu Qiu, you hold my sister Rong a little, don't fall! ”

Xu Qirong couldn't cry or laugh, but walked to the bridge dignified and steady. She used to learn rules and etiquette from her grandmother, Princess Pingtai, which were engraved in her bones, and she couldn't change them all at once.

I faintly heard Shen Yaru reprimanding Shen Yahui in a low voice: "You are also a big girl, why are you still making such a loud noise, if you let the family know, you don't know how to spread it!" ”

Shen Yahui was used to being so "taught" by Shen Yaru, and she didn't pay attention to it, and when Xu Qirong arrived, she hurriedly urged everyone to go, and said straightly: "The second brother is in the second uncle's study, let's go to the study to find the second brother." ”

Xu Qirong had already inquired clearly, the second uncle went to the second uncle's room, Shen Yaru didn't know this, and refused to leave after listening to Shen Yahui's words: "What if I meet the second uncle?" I'm not going, let the maid call the second brother out! ”

Xu Qirong sighed in his heart, how could he enter the second uncle's study when he called out! Fortunately, Shen Yahui said again: "What are you afraid of, I have already inquired clearly, and the second uncle is not in the study!" ”

Shen Yaru was relieved. Seeing that Shen Yaru no longer insisted on letting the maid call Shen He, Xu Qirong was also relieved.
