Xie Roujia reached out and touched his head.

"Good boy," she lamented.

This stinky girl!

Shao Mingqing was angry and funny, and raised his hand to pat her arm.

"Don't do it." He glared and said, glancing at the king of Dongping County, why didn't he say the same thing as before.

King Dongping smiled.

"It's a good boy." He said.

Shao Mingqing laughed dryly.

"When are you leaving?" Xie Roujia said, "Shouldn't you leave in a while, and if Your Highness doesn't say it, do you still have to sneak away without saying a word?" ”

This is still complaining about what happened last time, Shao Mingqing pursed his lips and smiled.

"It's not so fast, you have to wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne before you submit the national teacher and other rewards, crowns, robes and other things to resign, Your Majesty will keep it, so that it will be finally agreed after one or two times, and the date should be after the beginning of the first month." He said, "That's enough time for me to eat your seventeen or eighteen send-off feasts." ”

But the send-off banquet was sad in the end, and when Shao Mingqing was sent out, Xie Roujia became silent.

"Have you received a letter from Peng Shui?" Shao Ming said suddenly, wanting to adjust the atmosphere, "Rouqing wrote to me that now the miners in Yushan have begun to become sought-after, since Brother An took them to stop a mine collapse and rescued seventeen or eighteen miners, they have been rushed to invite by various mines. ”

Of course, Xie Roujia also knew about these things, but she still smiled happily when she heard it.

"It's interesting, a bunch of dead waste has become a life-saver, who would have thought." Shao Mingqing said with a smile.

"Make the most of it. All of them are useful when they are born as spirits, and whatever waste there is, it depends on how they are used. Xie Roujia said, "They have experienced life and death and danger in the mine, so they understand life and death and danger, and teaching and guiding them in this point can make them twice the result with half the effort." ”

Shao Mingqing touched her head with a smile.

"Oh, I was wrong, only our most powerful Jia Jia could think of such an interesting thing." He said.

Xie Roujia snorted, this time she really laughed.

"Alright. Don't send it. Go back, I'm not leaving today. Shao Mingqing said, looked back again, approached her and whispered. You see. Your husband has chased him out. Don't keep him waiting. ”

Xie Roujia snorted again.

"Your husband! Your husband! She said, and when she said this, she thought that she had fought like this in Yushan before, but the husband she said at that time was Brother An. She couldn't help but laugh again.

Shao Mingqing obviously thought about it too, and couldn't help but wonder.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, from the rebirth of the eleventh year old to the current fifteen years old.

In another year, she should get married, and if she follows the trajectory of that life, she should marry Brother An at the age of sixteen.

"Okay, don't giggle, does he have something to look for you?" Shao Mingqing said, interrupting Xie Roujia's fugue and looking back at the back again.

Xie Roujia turned around and saw the king of Dongping coming over.

"Your Highness," she said.

"Something happened to the Xie family." Dongping County King said.

……………………………………………………………………

This New Year, because of the emperor's funeral, Peng Shui also banned entertainment, and the place where the Xie family was located in the first month seemed to be a little withered.

This is not because of the lack of the luxurious bunting of the past, but because of the expressions of the people who enter and exit it, both men and women have sad and solemn faces, and although the children do not know what is happening, they are so frightened by the adults that they dare not come out.

The hall of the Xie family's mansion was crowded with people, either sitting or standing, some had tea, some didn't, but no one cared about these now.

"Why haven't all the people come yet?" One of the old men shouted angrily, "Why haven't they come yet?" After so much has happened, they can still sit still! ”

Someone sneered on the sidelines.

"Why can't you sit still? Anyway, it wasn't their sand shop that was robbed. There was resentment in his voice.

"Why isn't it their sand shop?" Another person said angrily, "The Xie family is one, although all the sand shops and mines are nominally distributed to each family, but our Xie family is one, ours is taken away, and theirs can be taken sooner or later." ”

"It's just that they don't say that they will help deal with outsiders together, but they look like they are hugging their own industries and dodging, which is really chilling." This remark made more people chaotically agree.

"What else?" Some people also said coldly, "The Xie family is one, that's because of the name of the Xie family, who cares whether it is the East Mansion or the West Mansion, whether it is the eldest master or the seventh master and the eighth master, now it is not a matter of everyone not working together, but the name of the Xie family is ruined, it stinks, no one takes it seriously, just throw it into the kennel with a piece of fat, outsiders can grab it, and their own people will also rob it, and whoever grabs it now is whoever, not to mention what is not one, it's all fucking on your own." ”

These words sent chills to the hearts of those present, and this is also a fact that everyone does not want to admit but has to admit more and more as time passes.

At first, I don't know who it was, and I don't know where to start, but it was probably a small merchant who recommended a bag of cinnabar to an old woman who was taking her grandson to the market.

"Hey, our Peng Shui Xie family is full of cinnabar on the street, isn't you, a little merchant, going to starve to death if you sell this." The old woman said amusedly.

The little merchant did not run away in shame, but with a little temptation.

"I'm used to using the Xie family's cinnabar, so I'll try other ones too." "Maybe it's better," he said. ”

The old woman's face changed.

"Oh, how can you talk, Wu Qing Niangniang is also something you can blaspheme." She said unhappily.

And didn't shout like the legend suggests.

"Auntie, Wu Qing Niangniang is Wu Qing Niangniang, the Xie family is the Xie family, I didn't say that Wu Qing Niangniang is not good, I just said cinnabar." The little merchant said with a smile.

There was a commotion in the streets, and people came and went, but the little merchant felt that he was cut off from the old woman, and his breath was stagnant.

The old woman looked at the paper bag in his hand and suddenly reached out to take it.

"How much do you have?" She said.

The little merchant felt as if the sky had been split.

"No money, no money. Auntie, you take it and try it. He tried his best to suppress his excitement, and not only that, but he also grabbed a handful of candy and gave it to the finger-sucking boy, "Take it and play with it." ”

The old woman didn't expect to take advantage of this, so she happily pulled her grandson and walked away.

Since then, the merchants have come to sell cinnabar outside the Xie family, and more and more cinnabar shops from other people's houses have opened in the market, and they not only shamelessly pressed the price of cinnabar to the lowest, attracting the people to rush to it, but also dared to go to the big buy. is ashamed to say that their cinnabar is better than the Xie family. And it's cheaper, and what's even more infuriating is that the buyers are blind enough to take their word for it.

In just a few months, the Xie family's cinnabar business lost a third. Never cared about business. Just sitting and lying down, the old men of the Xie family, who can make a lot of profits, realized that something was wrong.

In the past, it couldn't be sold because the demand side didn't need it. But now I can't sell it because I was seized by someone else.

What's even more unexpected is that when someone went to question, the person over there actually said something terrifying.

"Pull it down. Your Xie family's sand poisoned the emperor, who would dare to use it. ”

Poison the Emperor!

Although the news came that the emperor died of illness, the news that the emperor was poisoned by the crown prince also spread privately.

Who is the prince, the prince is Zhou Chengzhen, the person who used to be the son-in-law of their Xie family.

This time, Xie Jiake fell into the mud pit.

"This is nonsense! If the Xie family's sand is poisonous, why hasn't the Xie family been punished! ”

This is a simple truth, but no one believes it, and that kind of rumor spreads more and more.

"Let the eldest lady come out to refute the rumors!"

But Mrs. Xie did not come out, it was said that Xie Rouhui was pregnant, and she was only waiting for the birth of the new Dannu.

And Master Xie took advantage of the bad business of the sand shop to grab the mine, and he was not the only one who did this, and several elders in the East and West Mansions also did the same, taking care of their own mines, and using the reduction of cinnabar sales and hoarding to blackmail others to use the mines in exchange for circulating funds, and the Xie family was in a mess for a while.

This has been a request for an elders' meeting for an unknown number of times, but the elders who have come are getting fewer and fewer, and they are not coming at all.

"What is this? It's not as good as an outsider, what kind of family is it, it's a separate family. Someone shouted angrily.

The thought of separating the family flashed, and the people in the hall fell silent.

"The Xie family that has been separated, is it still the Xie family?" Someone muttered.

So everyone doesn't care about everyone at all now, only the small family, so they are desperately trying to reap their own benefits...

Someone outside the door coughed softly.

"Didn't you say a meeting? Why is this the only person? ”

Xie Wenchang!

The people in the hall all looked over and saw Xie Wenchang, the second master of Xie wearing a brocade robe.

Compared to everyone's frowning, he looked leisurely, and he was still holding a small teapot in his hand.

Xie Wenchang, Second Master Xie, should be the most leisurely person in the family now, and the person who is the most worried about the future, because he has a good daughter.

That daughter's reputation overshadowed that of the Xie family, dominating Yushan, being able to practice witchcraft and sand spotting, and a group of miners under him who could solve mine accidents, and it is said that his daughter also had to accept miners and personally grant skills.

Although the mine in Yushan does not produce sand, it is out of people, and it is a person who cannot be separated from any mine.

"Second master!" Someone immediately stood up and said, "Please sit down, come in, I'll be waiting for you." ”

Now that the separation is unstoppable, it is also necessary to reap the benefits for yourself.

And Xie Wenchang is the one who must be courted, and his own mine can count on him in the future.

More people stood up.

"Second brother, you can have an idea."

"Second uncle, there's really no way around it."

They said babblingly.

Looking at these enthusiastic and even flattering looks, Xie Wenchang laughed and took a sip of the teapot.

"Oh yes, look at this thing." He raised the teapot and thought of something and said to everyone, "The old Bai family sent it, and the second son of the old Bai family said that this is the latest way to drink tea." ”

He shook his head as he spoke.

"Tea is still called tea if it is not boiled and eaten, it is really not a generation."

Then you still take it out to show off, and see how valuable this teapot is to be.

The old white family?

The Bai family?

I heard that there was an accident in the mine of the Lao Bai family, and I also went to consult Miss Rouqing in Yushan, and Miss Rouqing even sent someone to help.

That's an outsider!

"After the family separated, they were all outsiders." Someone reminded in a low voice, "It's better to win over while you're your own person, people can live without anyone now." ”

Everyone laughed, listened carefully to Xie Wenchang's nonsense, and praised it one after another.

"Second master, look at the things at home, what should I do." After some tugging, someone couldn't help but rush again.

Xie Wenchang smiled and stood up.

"What do I know, I don't have a mine, I don't care about the sand industry, and now I rely on my sons to support my old age." He said, "You're busy, you're busy. ”

He walked out with his feet raised.

A room full of people was stunned.

"All the fucking ones only care about themselves! I'm embarrassed to say what a family! Someone said hatefully.

The people in the room were indignant and disappointed, but there were also people whose expressions changed.

"Have you heard, the old Bai family gave the second master more than just this teapot." He whispered, "It is said that he was given half a mine." ”

The people in the room looked at each other, and there was a lot of discussion.

"I also heard that not only the Lao Bai family, but several people in Xifu gave it to him in private, just to ask Miss Rouqing to make a sacrifice."

"Yes, yes, I also heard that now the second grandfather's house is surrounded by people day and night, but it is lively."

This made everyone jealous and angry.

"What's the matter, didn't he just teach the scriptures to his daughter with the second miss."

Scripture!

"Well, if you can teach the scriptures to his daughter, you can also teach them to others."

"That's right, if you want to say that the family is divided, the scriptures are also scored, they are all left by the ancestors, and they belong to everyone, why do they hold the big house."

This sentence is like a Mercury falling into a pan of oil, instantly frying all over the pot, and like a spark falling on dry grass and instantly burning a piece.

More and more people from the Xie family flocked to the Xie family's mansion. (To be continued......)
