Wan Ning followed her mother to the courtyard to greet her second uncle.

The second uncle sat on the shoulder, his lips were purple from the cold, he looked much thinner than when he was in Yangzhou, and his eyes were very bright, and he had not yet gotten up from his shoulder, so he immediately said: "Your second sister-in-law and Sister Ruan are still behind, let someone pick them up." ”

Shen Jingyuan immediately ordered the steward to bring a few family members to greet him.

Shen Jingqi breathed a sigh of relief.

After entering the house to warm up for a while, Lang Zhong was also invited, and Wan Ning followed Shen to faintly hear the sound of talking inside.

"This year's salt exchange is not good, thanks to the fourth brother's use of silver money to respond, otherwise I don't know how to spend this year, the guys in the family are all done, I want to come to the capital for the New Year, and by the way, I will explain the accounts of Yangzhou to the fourth brother."

Shen Jingqi is not sloppy in the account book, everything is used to doing clearly, this year he received the money allocated by the capital to pass the difficulty, a while ago I received a letter from Shen Jingyuan, saying that next year's salt introduction will be managed by him, my heart is happy and anxious, happy is that I can finally take charge of myself, and I am afraid that if I don't manage the salt introduction well, the Yao family's business will be ruined.

He originally wanted to go to Beijing alone, but Zhao and Sister Ruan both wanted to come to Beijing to have a look, so that their family of three, plus a few guys, came all the way over with a dart game.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, he can't play while walking as usual, he often runs business roads along the way, but he doesn't feel anything, Zhao and Sister Ruan are a little unbearable, he in order to make his wife and daughter walk more comfortably, he bought a larger carriage halfway way, who knows that he was targeted by horse thieves. Two of the executioners of the dart board died, he fell from his horse and fell his knee, but it was Cheng Jusheng, a merchant in Mingzhou Mansion, who rescued them. They were able to get out.

Shen Jingyuan listened quietly.

Shen Jingqi said: "It may be that the trauma medicine used is not very good, and the injury on my leg is getting more and more serious, so I will go to Beijing first." ”

As he spoke, Shen Jingqi's gasping voice was heard.

Then Lang Zhong said: "This injury is frozen, and there are abscesses in it, so it must be cleaned up and re-medicated, thanks to the medical treatment at this time." Otherwise, if you delay for a while, I'm afraid that this leg will not be protected. ”

Saying this, someone from outside said: "An uncle of the Cheng family came to visit." ”

Shen Jingqi looked at Shen Jingyuan with a happy face, "It must be lifting." Quick, please come in. ”

Shen Jingyuan asked people to invite, Wan Ning walked to the curtain and stretched out her hand to pick a gap in the curtain. I saw a straight figure. Dressed in a gray squirrel's skin, a young man in his twenties, the man took off his coat and tidied up his slightly messy robe before walking into the room.

Tong's mother wanted to speak, but Wanning "shh

Walking up to Mrs. Shen Si, Wan Ning said, "Does my aunt know who the person who came is?" ”

Mrs. Shen nodded, "I know that there is a young master of the Cheng family, whose parents died when he was a teenager, and he has no support. I used to work as a guy in a shop, but later I was diligent in reselling some items and had the capital. I did the tea business again, and then I met our family and helped us sell salt, your second uncle took a fancy to him and was down-to-earth and hardworking, so he wanted to tell him Sister Ruan, and the matchmaker was talking about kissing when we left. ”

When my aunt said this, the Cheng family and the second uncle should have known each other for a long time.

Lang Zhong cleaned Shen Jingqi's wounds, and Mrs. Shen and Shen took Wan Ning to the inner room again.

Shen Jingqi's face was paler than before, and he looked very tired, and his subordinates lightly covered Shen Jingqi's legs with a blanket.

Shen Jingyuan had a straight face, his eyes were full of worry, "You have an old injury on your leg, I said I should pay attention to it, if I haven't met Uncle Cheng, what should you do with your sister-in-law." ”

Wan Ning looked at the Cheng family uncle next to him, Cheng Jusheng hurriedly bowed and said, "It's all my momentary negligence, I knew that I should have looked for Lang Zhong halfway." ”

As they spoke, Zhao and Sister Ruan's carriage also arrived.

Mrs. Shen, Shen and Wan Ning went to take Zhao and Sister Ruan into the door, and when they saw that the two of them were safe and sound, Shen Jingqi's hanging heart also let go.

Mrs. Shen Si was busy asking her subordinates to clean up the house for Shen Jingqi's family to live in, Zhao and Sister Ruan changed their clothes, and a few people said something one by one.

Brother Kun came back from Mr. Yang Jing and saw that Sister Ruan was also very affectionate.

After talking and laughing, Sister Ruan and Wan Ning held hands and entered the house, and Wan Ning asked Sister Ruan about the situation along the way, "Why don't you let people send letters, we can also answer them." ”

Sister Ruan said: "My father said that I had troubled the fourth uncle for the sake of Yanyin, and we entrusted the dart game again, all because my father was in a hurry to change horses and make a generous move, so he was targeted by those horse thieves." ”

The two of them are of the same age, and they have met twice when they were in Yangzhou, and they are very close when they talk, and Sister Ruan has no one to accompany them along the way.

After a while, Mrs. Shen, Shen and Zhao also returned to the house.

Wanning heard Zhao say: "The dowry has also passed, it's really fast, our sister Ruan has also changed her post, and she is ready to get married in August next year." ”

Sister Ruan glanced at Wan Ning, and Wan Ning also happened to turn her head to look at Sister Ruan, and both of them laughed.

"Is that Uncle Cheng?" Wan Ning said in a low voice.

Sister Ruan nodded, "Originally, he didn't come to Beijing, but when he received tea, he heard that the Shen family and the Yao family in Beijing set the tea, so I wanted to come to Beijing to have a look, and I hurried to chase us halfway, but fortunately, I caught up, otherwise ...... I don't know how much trouble is coming. ”

Wan Ning said: "This is also fate. ”

Sister Ruan blushed, "It's not fate, his family background is not good, I fancy him to be able to go down and work hard, whether it is winter or summer, he can run a business outside, this is like the uncles at home." ”

Sister Ruan thought very thoroughly, many people wanted to climb high and marry into the family of dignitaries, Sister Ruan fell in love with the steadfastness of the Cheng family.

Sister Ruan paused as she spoke, "Father has known him for a long time, and he can be regarded as knowing the roots." ”

You can't go wrong with this family business.

As she spoke, Sister Ruan handed the cuffs she had embroidered at home to Wan Ning, "I don't know if it suits your heart, several sisters in the clan are the same." ”

The stitches are very smooth, and the edges are hooked with gold threads, which are very beautiful, Wan Ning likes it very much, "It's good-looking, it's better than what I'm using now." ”

After thinking about it, Sister Ruan asked Wan Ning again, "What about my brother-in-law?" Who is it? ”

Wan Ning said Cui Yiting in a few words, and Sister Ruan said with a smile: "I haven't seen it either, I don't know if it's black and thin, or if it's a big waist and a round waist, or if it's a weak scholar." ”

Wan Ning knew that Sister Ruan was teasing her, and said deliberately: "It's like the second one you said." ”

Sister Ruan was surprised at this time, "What should I do then?" Looking at the fierce gods, won't your stature only suffer losses in the future. ”

Wan Ning laughed out loud.

Sister Ruan immediately changed her face, "Okay, it turned out that she was making fun of me." ”

Time to talk and laugh passed quickly, after eating, Wan Ning was about to go back to Yao's house, and as soon as she put on her clothes, Tong's mother came and said, "He Ying brought someone over, saying that she wanted to say something to Miss Seven." ”

Wan Ning nodded, "Let's go to my uncle's study." ”

The steward brought the person over, Wan Ning slowly went up the steps, and as soon as she pushed open the door, she saw He Ying and another person standing under the shadow of the lamp.

The man stood with his back in the light, dressed in a new royal blue robe, standing there silently with his hands in his hands, but already a little arrogant.

Wan Ning couldn't help but be surprised, Mother Tong next to her had already exclaimed, "Cui ......" Second Master Cui.

……

The dart bureau that transported the box was seized, and Zhang Qicheng felt that this matter had gone smoothly so far.

The emperor allowed Cui Yiting to resign and go home to get ready, and set off for Fujian after the year.

At that time, he knew that Cui Yiting would inevitably leave the capital one step ahead of him, and if he arrived in Fujian one day earlier, he would have a few more chances of winning, Cui Yiting was not a fool.

Sure enough, his cronies saw Cui Yiting taking people out of the city, and the Cui family pretended that Cui Yiting was in Beijing and arranged the marriage step by step.

The Yao family is also calm, and Yao Wanning seems to have suddenly become a boudoir lady who is ready to be married.

Zhang Qicheng sneered, Cui Yiting was still too tender, thinking that he would be able to hide from the world and treat them as fools.

What he is waiting for is Cui Yiting to leave Beijing, and Cui Yiting will leave Beijing, so that he can press the charge of being a widow on Cui Yiting, let Wang Tongyuan firmly grasp Cui Yiting, and link Wang Lujiang's affairs with the Japanese people.

Cui Yiting wanted to suppress Deng Sichang, in order to control Fujian, borrowing Wang Lujiang to profit from the business dealings with the Japanese people, if Deng Sichang lost, he was calculated by the Japanese people, if he won, he killed Cui Yiting in Fujian, and he could also put the crime on the Japanese people, saying that the Japanese people started civil strife.

What a ploy.

The crime of collaborating with the enemy was placed on Cui Yiting in this way, and he was a relative of the emperor and the upstart of the saint, and he couldn't bear such a crime.

Zhang Qicheng let out a sigh and looked at Yao Yizhi next to him, "Why hasn't the Cui family moved yet." ”

Yao Yizhizhi: "I probably didn't expect it, I just knew about the dozens of boxes, and I haven't inquired about anything, and the dart bureau has already let Shuntianfu seal it." ”

Zhang Qicheng said "um" in agreement, Yao Wanning could burn the gift list, but she couldn't let the dozens of boxes disappear out of thin air.

As soon as the words fell, a steward came in and said, "Duke, the people who are guarding the Shen family have come back and forth." ”

Zhang Qicheng nodded, and the steward hurriedly brought people in.

"Duke," the man took a few steps forward and lowered his voice, "The second master of the Shen family has entered Beijing." ”

Zhang Qicheng is very clear about this.

"There is another person," the man said, "followed He Ying to the Shen family, although he was dressed like a person under He Ying, he looked at it a few more times,...... It seems to be Lady Cui. ”

Lady Cui.

Zhang Qicheng frowned, "You said it's Cui Yiting?" ”

The man nodded, "Yes...... The little one didn't see it clearly, the person walked very fast, as if he knew that he was being watched, and he entered the gate of the Shen family in three or two steps. ”

Zhang Qicheng stood up suddenly, could it be that they were fooled, Cui Yiting did not leave Beijing at all.

Did they miscalculate?

How is this possible.
