Nie Shuyao's sister and brother frowned at the same time, looked at each other, and felt extremely sorry in their hearts.

"Alas! No wonder Aunt Li would buy so many chestnuts at once, it turned out to be for eating on the road. Nie Shuyao said softly.

Nie Tianxi said: "Maybe their departure has something to do with this golden lock." ”

Nie Shuyao also said: "Maybe! Brother Niu, thank you for your hard work. It's okay today, Brother Niu will take Yuqin and them around. Let's go to Lu Laohu's house first. ”

The two brought some of their own goods, and took several small snacks invented by Nie Shuyao, and went to Lu Laohu's residence.

It was the shopkeeper Wu who led the way, and he rode an old horse not very fast. Wu Niang drove the car behind and walked equally unfast.

In such a slightly swaying carriage, Nie Shuyao said, "Xi'er, I think there is really something wrong with that Aunt Li. ”

"I also think there's a problem." Nie Tianxi said in a low voice.

|Excellent|Excellent|Small|Say|More|New|Most|Fast|WWW.UUXS.CC|The bustling sound outside, as if it had not reached the carriage, their hearts were very quiet.

Nie Shuyao pondered for a moment and said: "If the Nie family, the richest man in Yangzhou more than ten years ago, is the Nie family that Aunt Li said, then this longevity lock is owned by the juniors of Yan Qing's family. If the younger sister Yan Qing said is the stepmother, then the stepmother is the person from the Nie family, the richest man in Yangzhou, who once disappeared.

Then, let's make another hypothesis. If this longevity lock was worn when you were a child, and Aunt Li is the one who once robbed you of all your belongings and threw you in Pear Blossom Town, then you and your stepmother should be relatives. ”

Nie Tianxi was suddenly dumbfounded, and stammered: "Could it be, could it be that my stepmother is really my real relative?" ”

Speaking of this, Nie Shuyao frowned unconsciously, and said, "Maybe it's really like this, there is an unknown strange poison in the body-in-law, and something happened to the Nie family." You were carried away by three servants again, maybe this is because the Nie family sensed something and made you flee first. I inadvertently brought you home, and when I saw you, my stepmother thought of her nephews and nephews in her family, but she knew that her own family was gone, so she took you as his nephew and named you 'Tianxi'. ”

"Is that really the case?" Nie Tianxi touched the longevity lock and muttered to himself.

Nie Shuyao said again: "I was already sensible at that time, and I remember this very clearly. Later, when my stepmother was about to leave, she also said to me that judging from your words and deeds and the clothes you wore at that time, she did not look like a child of a poor family. You should be the son of a rich family, so I have a chance to find out your background. ”

Nie Tianxi nodded, "It should be like this." If the children of a poor family would not be accompanied by a servant, the servant would not have taken away my coat. Because this cloak will be worth a lot of silver, so I guess I will do it. ”

"Hmm. You will carry this longevity lock with you from now on. Nie Shuyao said.

"Good. But we are really unwilling to lose the line of Aunt Li. "Nie Tianxi is still very sorry.

Nie Shuyao felt that it was not bad to lose this line for the time being, if he investigated it in the depths now, something unexpected might happen, which would be very demoralizing.

But she still smiled and comforted: "It seems that we are also destined to come to Yangzhou, maybe one day we will meet Aunt Li like yesterday." Only now is it important to strive to improve our strength. ”

Nie Tianxi understood the meaning of this, if the assumption just now was true, then their opponent was the person on the official road, and the only one who could oppose the official was the official.

"Sister, don't worry, next time in the Spring Festival, I will definitely win the top three!" Nie Tianxi was highly motivated for this.

Nie Shuyao felt a little sorry for his younger brother who worked so hard, pinched his face and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, how old are you, you are still a child." ”

Consider that he was only a fourteen-year-old child, and he was only in junior high school in modern times. And she is just a girl who is not yet sixteen years old, and she is indeed still a child.

Nie Tianxi finally dodged her magic hand and retorted: "How can there be, many people as big as me have already been married, and girls as big as my sister are almost married!" But what about my sister? ”

This is the first time he feels that his sister is different from others, and the eldest girl who is almost sixteen should find a good mother-in-law. But they are all children without fathers and mothers, who will do this for their sister?

Nie Tianxi frowned unconsciously, yes, my sister is really not young, and if she doesn't find her in-laws, she won't be able to get married, I heard that older girls will find a bad in-law. How can this work? His sister is the best!

As a younger brother, you have to keep this matter in mind, or start with the people around you. But those classmates he thinks are not worthy of such an excellent sister. Suddenly, his mind thought of a person, Song Yunfei.

The eyebrows slowly expanded, Brother Song is a person from the capital, and he will be an official in the capital in the future, he is very confident. Even if he is released first, he will still settle down in the capital in the end, and if he marries his sister to the capital, he will be close to her, and he will not be at ease when he is far away.

What's more, even if Brother Song is not a good candidate, what kind of place is the capital? Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, no one. There is always a suitable sister, and he doesn't want his sister to suffer the slightest grievance.

Therefore, the capital has to go early, so that you can slowly inquire about good candidates. Well, that's it.

Thinking of this, Nie Tianxi grinned, looked at Nie Shuyao and nodded.

Nie Shuyao was furious by him, patted his forehead and said, "Why are you looking at me like that?" ”

Nie Tianxi smiled: "Sister, you're almost sixteen, right?" It should be said that the in-laws are in charge. ”

"Huh?" Nie Shuyao was stunned for what he said, and then laughed: "Little hairy boy, what do you know, how old are you?" ”

Nie Tianxi immediately straightened his face and said, "Sister, this is a very strict topic, don't interrupt it." You're really not small! ”

Nie Shuyao said disapprenously: "Stop, stop, this topic is not something you can discuss now." Want to marry a daughter-in-law? Sue you, but eighteen are not allowed to marry me! Too young, it's not good to get married. What's more, we still have to keep filial piety for our stepmother for three years! ”

"Mmmm, you have to keep filial piety!" Nie Tianxi nodded vigorously, since he felt that he might be related to his stepmother, he really regarded her as his mother, in fact, he also thought she was a mother before.

He changed his words and said: "However, in another year, my sister will be almost seventeen, and it will be too late!" Sister, let's go to the capital next year, and it's good to settle down there as soon as possible. ”

Nie Shuyao thought that he was planning for Chunyi, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Who knows, today's conversation in the carriage actually started for Nie Tianxi to actively go on a blind date for her.

They walked all the way and talked all the way, and the more they talked, the smoother their mood became.

When he was about to reach his destination, Nie Tianxi said, "Sister, shouldn't we go to Huaishu Village?" ”

Nie Shuyao said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's dry the old man that year." ”

The poor old man didn't know that he had waited for nearly a month.

After getting out of the car, Shopkeeper Wu took them into Lu Laohu's mansion.

This house is very large, it is a standard Jiangnan garden-style building, and the wealth of the owner's family is displayed everywhere. Turning a corner of the garden, the scenery here is different, and in Nie Shuyao's opinion, there are a lot of tasteful things.

She looked around with interest, not thinking that it was the arrangement of the rough man Lu Laohu, maybe it was the handiwork of the person who changed Lu Laohu.

Lu Laohu didn't expect Nie Shuyao to come today, nor did he expect it to come so quickly, he wanted to go to the gate to greet him, but in a blink of an eye, he saw that people had already come.

He walked out of the small garden here and laughed loudly: "Oh, Miss Nie, you came so fast, so that Lao Lu didn't even go out of the gate to greet him, so I really didn't want to go." ”

Nie Shuyao said with a smile: "Uncle Lu is polite, how can there be a reason for the elders to welcome the younger generation." Just call us by name in the future. ”

"Haha, good. Then Lao Lu will call you Shu Yao girl. Lu Laohu responded cheerfully.

While a few people were talking and laughing, Lu Laohu introduced them to the origin of this garden.

"This is the handwriting of my wife, where can a rough man like me have the kung fu to serve the flowers and plants."

Nie Shuyao said: "It turned out to be Mrs. Zun, no wonder she has a sense of beauty, she is really an elegant person." ”

"Hehe, please!"

When I got to the middle room, I saw a beautiful woman standing at the door with a smile on her face.

The siblings stepped forward to salute her, and the woman hurriedly said, "Oh, this is unacceptable. ”

The two of them didn't finish their ceremony, but they didn't think this woman was like a merchant girl.

Nie Shuyao took the food box in Nie Tianxi's hand and said, "This is some pastries made by the juniors themselves, and I also asked my aunt to taste them and give me some advice." ”

Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "Shu Yao girl is just to see outside, this first time I came to the door, we should be the elders to give a meeting gift." Come, take it! ”

She took off the jade bracelet in her hand and brought it to Nie Shuyao, this jade bracelet is made of mutton fat jade, which is warm and nourishing, and it is very suitable for Nie Shuyao's jade-like wrist.

In this way, they met, and several people entered the main house. Mrs. Lu also gave Nie Tianxi a good inkstone and a piece of medicinal ink, which are said to be from the hands of famous artists.

The sister and brother gladly accepted it, and I have to say that dealing with smart people is easy to deal with. The cooperation between them is no longer just a business dealing, but has risen to a higher level.

After chatting, I learned that Mrs. Lu's brother is now a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, and although he is a Beijing official from the fifth grade, although he has little power, he is also an upright official. Only then did Lu Laohu want to get rid of his identity as a salt merchant and do some business seriously, hoping that his descendants could also enter the scientific examination.

Knowing this relationship, Nie Shuyao felt that it was the right choice to cooperate with Lu Laohu. After they enter Beijing next year, maybe they will be able to get in touch with that bachelor because of this, and it is always good to have more plans for Nie Tianxi's future.

Subsequently, Nie Shuyao and his brother talked to Lu Laohu about future cooperation, and after the team was built, their Nie family's goods could officially come to Yangzhou for sale.

After changing the tea, Nie Shuyao talked about the business of coming this time and asked, "Uncle Lu, I have an elder who has a connection with the Nie clan in Yangzhou City more than ten years ago. But more than ten years later, there seems to be no trace of this Nie clan in Yangzhou City, I wonder if Uncle Lu knows what is wrong with this? ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Laohu also frowned and said: "More than ten years ago, I was still a stunned boy, and the Nie clan in Yangzhou was in full bloom, but who knew that there was such an incident that made the Nie clan almost completely wiped out." ”R1152
