In the angry eyes of the three people behind them, Nie Shuyao's sister and brother walked out of the cell in a dashing manner. Before leaving, he didn't forget to say hello to Da Niu: "Brother Da Niu, is this cell for the rich?" How much money you have to spend in a day? ”

These words made Nie Xian angry, and shouted: "Don't beg him, there are many capable masters in Qu County!" ”

Nie Shuyao smiled, noncommittal, this matter is not something that can be solved by the master. It is herself who pays attention to Master Luxian Zhang, who can know better than her!

Outside the cell, Da Niu replied honestly: "This kind of cell is rarely used, it costs about one tael of silver a day, the county collects half a tael, and the rest is the maintenance fee of the cell." ”

Nie Shuyao understands very well what this maintenance fee is, it is rare for someone to come and live once, of course the guards don't want them to go out so easily, but they can earn half a tael of silver a day.

"Huh!" The siblings looked at each other and smiled, extremely relaxed.

"Brother Da Niu, is that Shen Xiangshi busy now? We might as well introduce him to a business. Nie Shuyao said with a smile, she actually didn't have a good heart, and wanted to introduce him to Master Zhang.

Da Niu said: "Sister Shu Yao came one step late, then Master Zhang from Lu County invited him a few days ago, and the paper that our county master received was written by him." ”

Nie Shuyao and Nie Tianxi smiled again and said in unison: "So good! ”

Since they came to the county office, there is no reason not to visit Wu County, who takes good care of them, and goes to the back hall of the county government under the leadership of Da Niu.

Wu County Ling came here to take office without his family, only two small servants and an old housekeeper who were waiting with him, and came to Qu County with his master and friends. Maybe he thinks he can be promoted soon.

Nie Shuyao thinks so.

Walk around. Entering the small flower hall where Wu County ordered the hospitality, there was already hot tea there. It's just that Wu Xianling's frowning brows looked like he had something on his mind.

"Your Excellency. Miss Nie is here. Master Liu beside him reminded.

Wu Xian Ling came back to his senses at this time, "Ah, please! ”

"See your Excellency." Under the leadership of the big bull, the three of them bowed and saluted.

"No need to be polite, sit!"

Da Niu took a few steps back and left directly.

Nie Shuyao's sister and brother sat opposite Wu County's order.

"Alas! It's been a long time away from home and a little homesick. Let the girl smile and taste the tea that the old man brought from Beijing before taking office. Wu Xianling said with a smile.

Nie Shuyao took a sip of tea. "Good tea, good tea!" It is worthy of being brought from Kyori. ”

Nie Tianxi pursed her lips and wanted to laugh, her sister's words were not up to standard. This tea is not good at all!

Wu Xianling smiled, his smile washed away the frowning brows, and said: "In the past, there was a girl who was similar to you who always said this, but it was an ordinary tea, but it was always comparable to elixir. ”

Nie Shuyao asked, "That girl is your granddaughter?" Didn't I see you frowning and trying to make the county master happy? ”

"I don't have a granddaughter as big as you. My granddaughter has just turned 10 years old. At the age when I don't know anything. Speaking of his granddaughter, Wu Xianling rarely showed a kind smile.

"Thank you, my lord, for what you did to our brother and sister." Nie Shuyao pulled Nie Tianxi and saluted Wu County again.

Wu Xian Ling responded with a smile, but he still told the truth.

"Actually, you're just in passing. If Nie Xian hadn't been involved in Ping'er, the old man wouldn't have bothered. ”

Nie Shuyao understood that Wu County Ling wanted to tell her about Luping today.

The siblings sat down again, and she began to pour the tea, refilling the cups for the two old men in front of her. asked, "My lord, do you want to ask where Luping is now?" ”

Wu Xian Ling frowned again. Moved by her demon-like mind.

Master Liu asked, "How did Miss Nie know that we adults want to ask this question?" ”

"There are several reasons for this." Nie Shuyao said with a smile: "Since the adults know that Nie Xian secretly sent that Luping to other places, they will definitely send someone to follow Master Zhang and the others, and maybe they will also send someone to follow the group of people who secretly probed Luping." Otherwise, how could adults have another portrait of Luping? ”

Looking at Master Liu, who was constantly nodding, Nie Shuyao said again: "There is another point, that is, adults and Luping's father are old acquaintances, so they should be colleagues." There are many doubts about what happened to Luping's family, and outsiders don't know, but it doesn't mean that adults don't know, and these doubts must be very involved. ”

"Alas! I'm old. It's really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves. Wu Xianling suddenly felt after hearing this.

Nie Shuyao followed his words and said with a smile: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. When can the scenery of the back waves be, it is not the same in a blink of an eye! ”

"Oh?" Wu Xian Ling and Master Liu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Nie Shuyao said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if it's back and before. No matter who you are, as long as you do your job well, it's good. ”

The back waves and the front waves she said are a phrase that was often circulated in previous lives, and in fact, life is also like this. From the day of birth, the end is doomed, and the ending is nothing more than the grave, and how the middle is different according to the person and the environment.

Wu Xian Ling sighed again: "The old guy who has lived for decades is not as good as a little girl who can see clearly, the girl is the best girl." ”

Nie Shuyao raised her eyebrows slightly, how to look at the county master's expression as if he was saying kiss, and hurriedly said with sloppy eyes: "Shuyao has passed the age of Jilu, but she is still in her mother's filial piety period, so let's talk about this matter later." ”

One sentence knocked out the idea of Wu County's order to say that he was pro, and then he got down to business.

"Actually, Luping's original name was Ping'er, and she was the daughter of my former friend. When her family suffered this catastrophe, the old man was in the field, and it was too late to return to Beijing. I didn't expect Ping'er to be so hard, she has already come to Qu County, why don't you come to me? Wu Xianling couldn't figure it out.

Nie Shuyao thought of Lu Ping's caution, maybe she found Nie Xian; Maybe the purpose of her coming to Qu County was to find Wu County, but why didn't she come in the end?

Nie Tianxi was also frowning and pondering, and whispered, "My lord, is there something very important on Lu Ping?" ”

Nie Shuyao nodded, Xi'er's words were to the point.

Wu Xianling and Master Liu also nodded. Just didn't say much.

Not long after, Wu County ordered: "I heard that when Ping'er was in Nie's house, Miss Nie went to see her. I wonder if she has anything for you? ”

Nie Shuyao chuckled in her heart, but there was a contemplative expression on her face.

I kept thinking in my mind: Lu Ping's most expensive thing is the jade wrench, but Lu Ping would rather give it to herself than hand it over to Wu County Ling, which means that she doesn't believe in being an official, or that she feels that Wu County Ling has people around her who are not good for her. In that case, I can't hand this over myself.

Nie Shuyao felt that Lu Ping could retreat from a large family in the capital and come to Qu County alone. It's not an ordinary woman, if you can think of her, you must be able to think of it.

"Something, there are some." She said softly.

"What is it?" Wu County Ling and Master Liu said in unison. There was a look of extreme concern on his face.

Nie Shuyao said honestly: "It's a jewelry box, she said, these things won't be used in the future, she kept these originally just to keep a previous thought." But today is no longer the case. It's a pity that this thing was thrown away, so it was given to me. He also said, "If I don't have the money in hand, I'll take it as a matter of time." ”

After hearing this, Wu Xianling had obvious disappointment on his face.

Master Liu asked again: "There is nothing special in it...... Stuff? ”

Nie Shuyao asked ignorantly: "Do you mean those head flowers?" There are more chrysanthemum shapes. Is there anything special about it? ”

Master Liu also showed disappointment.

In the end, Wu Xianling didn't have to ask, but said: "Nie Xian's case will be promoted in two days, you go back and prepare." The old man will give you another reminder. The two grain and rice stores that the Nie family just sold have changed owners again, as for who they are. I'm sure you can guess it. So be it! ”

With the tea sent off by Wu County's order, the sister and brother went out of the county office.

On the way, Nie Tianxi asked, "Sister, who do you think the real owner of the Nie family's grain and rice store will be?" ”

"What does Xi'er think?" She asked rhetorically.

"I think it's someone who is connected to the Nie family, is it revenge?"

Nie Shuyao said: "Maybe." Now whoever has the most money in the Nie family may be the owner of the grain and rice store. ”

Li Wei ...... Is it? Nie Tianxi asked.

Nie Shuyao patted him on the shoulder, this kid has grown again, and he won't be able to pat him on the shoulder in another two years. praised: "Xi'er is the same as I thought, there is a future!" ”

"But why? Isn't she the daughter-in-law of the Nie family now, and won't the Nie family be hers in the future? ”

Nie Shuyao guessed: "Maybe Li Wei doesn't want to wait that long, she wants to take this opportunity to take over the Nie family completely." ”

"Shall we help her, then?"

After seeing his younger brother's calculating smile, Nie Shuyao also smiled, and said, "How about we get the money from the Nie family's grain and rice shop?" ”

"Good!" Nie Tianxi clapped his hands and said, "In this case, will we be able to build a carriage like the one my sister painted next year?" Then travel the world together. ”

"Then you have to wait until you pass the exam, let's work hard!" Nie Shuyao patted him on the shoulder again.

When I returned to Nie's house, I saw that Li Wei was training people again, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Sister Shu Yao, this is going to the county ya, can you still be shun?" Li Wei said with a smile.

Nie Shuyao smiled in return: "Acceptable!" It's just that Shu Yao is small, and Uncle Nie doesn't believe me. ”

Li Wei shook her head with a smile, her face was still kind, and said: "Some people just don't die until the heart of the Yellow River doesn't die, and they don't repent until the moment of death." The Zhang family is also a big family in Beijing, where can it be compared to the rich family in a small county. Fortunately, the girl! ”

"Sister Wei is serious."

The two politely said goodbye, and the enthusiasm between the words never returned to the past.

The next evening, Ronghuayuan came again.

Nie Shuyao packed up and said to Nie Tianxi: "Let's go, let's collect the cash." ”

They have come to Ronghua Garden many times, but they have never felt as depressed as this time, as if a storm is coming.

Pushing the door in, the old and young of the Nie family were all there, all crying and mourning.

"I don't know what the old lady is doing when he summons Shu Yao to come today?" After saluting, Nie Shuyao asked.

Nie Rong spoke first: "There is a new trouble in the matter of the eldest brother. (To be continued......)
