Chapter 61: Wanted
When Xie Wenchang came to Mrs. Xie's place, Mrs. Xie's mother and daughter were about to have breakfast, looking at Xie Rouhui's obvious appearance after exercising, Xie Wenchang sighed a few words.
"It's not easy." "When we get through March 3rd, it'll be easier." ”
Xie Rouhui smiled and took the towel handed by the girl to wipe her hands.
"The second uncle's words are not right, and after March 3, you can't be lazy." She smiled and said, "I have to work harder, like my grandmother and mother, to do my best to make good sand for the family." ”
Xie Wenchang smiled and nodded.
"Well said, well said." He said.
"You go eat." Mrs. Xie said to Xie Rouhui, while motioning for Xie Wenchang to come and sit in the east room.
Xie Rouhui walked over in response and listened to Mrs. Xie and Xie Wenchang talking here.
Since she was sensible, she has often followed Mrs. Xie, and there is no need to avoid Mrs. Xie no matter whether she handles family affairs or outside business.
"At the beginning, your grandmother was supposed to take me to let me watch and learn, but she didn't, and when I grew up, she threw it directly to me, I didn't know anything at that time, I couldn't understand what these elders and uncles at home said, and I couldn't understand the shopkeepers outside to report the accounts, and I couldn't sleep night after night, and a lot of hair fell out during that time......" Mrs. Xie once said to Xie Rouhui, "I have suffered and suffered, and I won't let you suffer anymore, you follow me to study well." ”
Xie Wenchang is talking about the closure of the Yushan Mine today.
"A Shao Mingqing left, and a miner An Geyu emerged to take charge of things instead of him." He said.
Hearing this name, the chopsticks in Xie Rouhui's hand stopped.
Brother An.
“…… Is that the little miner who dug up the bloodstone? Mrs. Xie said casually.
The ceremony of entering the city with Bloodstone, she also remembered this miner who could stand with Bloodstone and accept the people's worship.
Xie Wenchang responded.
"Pouting, saying that the mountain should be closed, saying that otherwise the mine will be easy to collapse." He continued, "It's never been before, you see, how is this good?" ”
Mrs. Xie didn't think about it, she smiled as she pulled the tea bowl.
"Mother's idea again." She said, "Then seal it, don't you say it, Yushan Mine is under her control, don't say it's sealed, she just smashed Yushan, what can we do?" ”
Xie Wenchang sighed.
"yes, yes." He said, frowning and helpless, "But if the old lady does this, what about our other mines?" Do you want to close the mountain for the New Year? ”
"What's the matter with other mines?" Mrs. Xie said impatiently, "If they have any opinions, let them ask the old lady to give an order, as long as the old lady orders them to close the mountain, we will close the mountain." ”
How can anyone have such an opinion, the mine stops for a day, and the profit is much less.
Xie Wenchang responded and stood up.
"When will you come back from the letter from the eldest brother?" He asked with a smile again.
Speaking of this matter, the entire Xie clan would smile, and a smile also appeared on Mrs. Xie's face.
"Yesterday's letter said that he had accepted the reward from the scattered horsemen, and that he would have to deal with people from all walks of life in the capital for a few days, and set off on about 289, and strive to be able to come back around the 15th day of the first lunar month." She said.
"This time the reward is very rich, gold and silver cloth is second, the most important thing is that the eldest brother has been crowned official, our Pengshui tax is exempted for one year, the government has spread the news, and the people have to ask to go to Yushan Huaiqing Tai to worship Wu Qing Niangniang." Xie Wenchang said with a smile.
These two are the real fame and fortune that make their Xie family gain.
"Then open Yushan and let the people come and go as they please." Mrs. Xie said with a smile.
Xie Wenchang got up and retired.
Mrs. Xie walked over, and Xie Rouhui put down the dishes and chopsticks to greet her.
"Huihui, have you seen it, your second uncle said that he was here to ask for my opinion, but in fact, he wanted me to come forward to argue with your grandmother, only we can do this in this family, so it is also the easiest to be used as a gunman, you remember, no matter how tragic and compassionate they say, it is just a sharp word trend. And whether this benefit is given to them or not, how to give it, but it must be in our hands. Mrs. Xie said.
Xie Rouhui responded, watched Mrs. Xie sit down, and then sat down.
"Mother, this Brother An is very valued by grandmother." She smiled and said, "No wonder grandmother values it, she looks very capable at a young age and can find the Phoenixstone." ”
"It's just luck." Mrs. Xie said, bowing her head to eat.
"Mother, after March 3, I will also start learning to distinguish sand and mine, so it is better to give him to me." Xie Rouhui said.
Mrs. Xie took a slap of chopsticks.
"Him?" She said, frowning again, "There are many powerful masters in the mine, and they have all been arranged for you, this kid ......"
"Mother, grandmother values him very much, I think he must have a reason to be valued." Xie Rouhui said seriously.
Grandmother valued him, and they valued him, and grandmother would be happy.
Mrs. Xie understood, thinking of the trouble between herself and her mother, and her daughter was also very embarrassed to be caught in it, and it was also a last resort to use such a method to ease the relationship.
"Okay." "I'll make a note of it, and I'll have someone arrange it." ”
Xie Rouhui raised a smile.
"Thank you, Mother." She said.
………………………………………………………………
When the morning light was bright, Brother An stood in front of the wooden house and whistled a few times, and it didn't take long to see Xie Roujia galloping on a red horse, and Shui Ying, who was sitting behind Xie Roujia, was also carrying a branch, on which hung a hare and a pheasant, swaying with the run.
Seeing Brother An, Shui Ying raised his hand happily first.
"Has my young master sent another letter?" She shouted.
Brother An took out a letter and carried a burden in his hand.
"This is a snack from the capital sent by the young master of the Shao family." He said.
Shui Ying and Jiang Ling sat in the room, looking at the box that was opened and let out an exclamation.
Exquisitely exquisite, the flowers, birds and insects are exquisitely patterned, and the fragrance is warm.
Shao Mingqing said that this is the dim sum of the Ningxiang Pavilion in the capital, and it is a must-choose gift box for the people of the capital during the New Year's Festival, and he bought it with great difficulty. Xie Roujia looked at the letter and said.
"It must be delicious." Jiang Ling said.
Xie Roujia couldn't help but laugh.
"You don't like to eat." She said.
Jiang Ling looked at her puzzled.
"Why?" She asked.
Because at the beginning of the Zhenbei Palace, with the return of Zhou Chengzhen, there were a lot of such snacks at home, Zhou Chengzhen liked to eat Ningxiang Pavilion's dim sum the most, so after a period of time, it was transported from the capital by fast horses, and in order to transport this dim sum, several horses died in a hurry.
Jiang Ling was very curious about the food sent by the laborers, so she secretly took a piece while people were unprepared, but she vomited after taking a bite, in her words.......
"Phew...," Jiang Ling said, turning his head, "it's dry, astringent, fragrant and greasy, it's really unpalatable." ”
Xie Roujia laughed.
Jiangling ate this dim sum so early in his life, and he didn't have to wait until the time of Zhenbei Wangfu to eat it.
Phew, this thought flashed, and Xie Roujia also turned her head and snorted a few times.
What Zhenbei Wangfu, they will no longer have anything to do with Zhenbei Wangfu in this life!
"Miss, you can't stand it like this before you eat it?" Jiang Ling said with a smile.
Watching the movements of the two of them, Shui Ying was very happy and scooped up the snack box.
"That's all mine." She said.
Xie Roujia smiled, took the letter and walked outside the house, Brother An hesitated and walked out, watching Xie Roujia sit down cross-legged.
"Brother An." When she saw him, she shouted with a smile and pointed to her side, "Sit." ”
Well, the same voice, it's still good to call Brother An.
An Ge Yu couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly lowered his head again, looking at his toes not moving.
Xie Roujia didn't force him anymore, continued to look through the letter in his hand, and laughed from time to time.
"He said that they waited in the cold wind for more than an hour on the day they saw the emperor, and then the emperor enjoyed the tea and soup, but he didn't taste the heat, so he drank it directly, which amused the emperor." She turned her head to Brother An and said, "Before leaving, the emperor asked the eunuch to wrap a tea cake for him, did you say he did it on purpose?" ”
Brother Anbi shook his head.
"yes, he certainly didn't mean to drink hot tea." Xie Roujia said with a smile, "But then he must have done it on purpose, deliberately taking advantage of the situation to make the emperor happy." ”
I just want to say I don't know, Brother An, oh sound, that's it.
"He is quite bold, and he is not afraid when he sees the emperor." Xie Roujia continued, bowing her head and continuing to read the letter.
Because it was an urgent letter, I didn't write too much, and I read it quickly.
Xie Roujia put the letter away, and the people jumped up.
"Let's go, let's go to the mines." She said, and turned her head to look at Brother An again, "How to find mountain bones I taught you last time, have you learned it?" ”
An Ge Yu nodded.
"Let's go ahead and try." Xie Roujia smiled and greeted the little red horse strolling aside.
Ange also rode his white horse and galloped away on the mountain road one after the other.
The New Year is approaching, and even in the mountains, the sound of firecrackers can occasionally be heard in the distance.
At this time in the capital, the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival is strong, even the snowflakes fall in the world, but the pace of pedestrians does not speed up, and the streets are still shoulder to shoulder.
"Uncle Xie, if you go this way, it is Xiangguosi Street, and there are a lot of treasures on the street." A man in Tsing Yi said earnestly.
Xie Wenxing, who was wrapped in a cloak and wearing a warm hat, just smiled.
"Now the great monk of Yuantong will still sneak in and secretly sell those fake antiques he made?" He said.
The men around him laughed.
"I forgot, Uncle Xie is from Beijing." They said.
Yes, it's just that the current Uncle Xie is not the Liu Xiucai who broke the family at the beginning.
Look at these people, all of them are officials, but they did not express the slightest ridicule of his status, but instead complimented him.
Money?
If the money they hold in their hands in a year is worth all their lives, let alone being rich, they are willing to be lackeys under the door.
Xie Wenxing smiled and raised his feet.
"You don't have to go to Xiangguo Temple, let's go to Qingyun Temple." He said.
Of course, everyone agreed, and a group of people crowded through the streets and alleys, and came to a rather secluded street, not far from which an inconspicuous Taoist temple stood solemnly.
It looks like a dilapidated Taoist temple, but it is a royal Taoist temple given by the emperor.
It has been more than ten years since the Lord Xuan Zhenzi and the emperor intersected.
Before leaving the capital, this was a place where Xie Wenxing wanted to go but couldn't, and after more than ten years, he was finally able to easily step into this Taoist temple.
Of course, the attitude of the Taoist temple is still a little unpleasant.
After saying a few kind words and giving some sesame oil money, Xiao Daotong finally got out of the way.
"My master is busy and doesn't see guests." Xiao Daotong said irrationally.
"We're just going around on our own." Xie Wenxing smiled, unimpressed by Daotong's attitude, and as soon as he walked inward with Daotong, he saw someone swaying slowly from the side.
Seeing this person, Xie Wenxing's brows jumped.
"Shao Mingqing!" He shouted through gritted teeth.
Everyone saw this handsome sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy wearing a black fox fur jacket and holding a crown and a white hosta, turning his head.
"Sir." He shouted happily and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Why are you here?" ”
He still wants to ask him this!
Xie Wenxing gritted his teeth, he originally thought that this kid would enter Beijing and enter Beijing, there were many people who followed him into Beijing, and he just sent it away casually as an envoy, but he didn't expect this kid to be very slippery.
First of all, he showed his face in front of the eunuch who came to announce the decree, and said how to dig up the phoenix blood stone, and the eunuch went back to sue the emperor, and the emperor also allowed him to enter the palace, and when he entered the palace, he was like a clown, coaxing the emperor to be happy, asking him what his name was, and giving a reward.
After that, he followed him around every day, and he followed him wherever he went, and after a few days, he became familiar with the people he wanted to befriend.
Xie Wenxing got rid of him and didn't allow him to run with him anymore, but he didn't expect that he had only been thrown away for a long time, and he met him here again.
How did he get into this temple?
Sending away these escorts, Xie Wenxing asked angrily.
"I'm here to see the treasure of Xuan Zhenzi Daoist, it is said that he has a piece of fine cinnabar, I don't think it's necessarily that good, so I'm here to see it." Shao Mingqing said with a smile.
It's really going to do what it likes!
The people of the cinnabar family who just offered the phoenix bloodstone came to tell the person who likes cinnabar the most that your cinnabar is not good, and it is strange that this person does not see him.
and under the banner of the Xie family, he took advantage of it!
Xie Wenxing took a deep breath.
By this time they had entered a large hall.
"This is the capital, don't talk nonsense, get into trouble, who will take it!" Xie Wenxing warned in a low voice.
Shao Mingqing nodded and responded obediently.
"Master, since we're here, let's go and meet the Taoist chief together." He said.
Of course, he will never be left alone!
It's better to be able to get in touch with Xuan Zhenzi than to travel with some officials.
Xie Wenxing nodded, and was about to turn around and take a step, when he heard a chaotic footstep outside, and it seemed that there were many people running.
"....... hurry, the surname Zhou is here..."
“… Lock those rooms..."
“…… Hurry up, hurry up, take these down and don't let him see it......"
The footsteps outside whispered and the stirring quiet Taoist temple suddenly became nervous.
What's going on?
Who is coming, so that these emperors are blessed by the heavens and the Taoist priests who are not afraid of the earth are afraid of being like this?
Xie Wenxing Shao Mingqing couldn't help but step out, and before he could go out, he saw a little Taoist priest jump in and slam the door shut.
"What's going on?" Xie Wenxing couldn't help but ask, "Who is here?" ”
The little Taoist priest shouted at him and squatted down by the door.
He was holding a porcelain vase in his arms, crystal clear, and it was not ordinary at first glance.
It looks like there are robbers in the Taoist temple, and these Taoist priests are closed, locked and hiding.
Shao Mingqing couldn't help but take a few steps towards the window, and before he could look out, he heard a loud laugh outside.
This smile is bright, just like a clear spring stirring the mountains and rocks, which makes people feel shocked.
"What about people?"
With laughter, the voice of a teenager was heard.
"Xuan Zhenzi, where is the old cow's nose? Where are you hiding? ”
