The next day, Zhao Yan took his biological mother Aunt Xiaoqian, as well as his sister Zhao Man and younger brother Zhao Yan, packed up their luggage and left the courtyard of Yongji Temple Hutong, and went to Tongzhou in a six-room carriage. However, they did not live in the house under the name of Liufang, but sent the guys from Liufang away, and spent money to rent a small yard near Tongzhou Wharf.

They will live in this small courtyard for a month or two, and when the spring is warm and the ice melts and the canal is reopened, they will take a six-room boat south and join the Qian family.

As soon as they settled down in Tongzhou, Zhao Xiu learned the news of their departure. Zhao Qixuan went to the two-bedroom mansion to report to Zhao Wei's brothers and sisters. He also said: "This kid is amazing, and I don't know what reason he used to tell the Wang family." When our fellows went to the courtyard of Yongji Temple Hutong to inform him of the address of the house in Tongzhou, they also saw that the second young master of the Wang family sent a small servant to send him a plate to wrap up, which was enough for twenty taels of silver. I think that kid has a net worth of five hundred taels now, to say the least. When they arrived in Jiangnan, as long as they didn't spend money lavishly, this amount of money was enough for their family of four to live happily for ten years. ”

Zhao Wei smiled slightly: "How can the world be so perfect?" Since they have taken refuge in the Qian family, the Qian family may not be willing to accept them. If they have no money, they will surely receive a lot of white eyes; And when he has the money, he who has to cut the flesh is scarce. ”

Unlike Aunt Qian, who has lived in the capital for many years and only occasionally communicates with the Qian family in Jiangnan, Zhao Wei has lived in Jiangnan for nearly ten years, and is not far from the Qian family, so he has naturally heard of his family's actions. If the Qian family really loved their daughter and grandson, they would not have known that Zhao Jue had already married a wife. I'm going to send my daughter to be a concubine. What they want is to be prosperous and rich.

Zhao Jue was bad, and they couldn't wait to draw a line with the Zhao family. Someone mentioned that Zhao Jue was their son-in-law, and they repeatedly said that the concubine's family was not a relative. They are not in-laws who conspire against sinners. Aunt Xiao Qian's brother's eight-rank official position was originally unkept. But when Zhao Jue was first arrested, he took the officers and soldiers to raid one of Zhao Jue's temporary residences, and found a letter written by Hong Wencheng to Zhao Jue inside, which revealed a piece of information that indirectly played a role in the interrogation work, which was regarded as a little effort, so the Qian family was not affected. However, such trivial matters do not need to be recorded in the case file. Naturally, it will not be transmitted back to the capital thousands of miles away. The Zhao family's group of relatives who were taken into prison after the accident didn't know anything about it at all.

Zhao Yan took his biological mother and siblings to seek refuge in a foreign family, what kind of treatment will he get. It's hard to say.

Zhao Xiu was surprised by Zhao Yan's movements so quickly: "He is about to leave at this time, will it be too hasty?" Or is it that he can't stand Niu anymore, so he gets the money in his hand. Can't wait to leave? ”

Zhao Qixuan thought for a while: "He didn't seem to have planned to leave so early. It was when I said that he could borrow a house under the name of the six-room firm, and he made up his mind. I got the money, and within two days he came to me to borrow a carriage. Although he rented a house separately, the boat was booked. He was cautious, and he probably meant to be on guard against us, and he didn't let us know where the rented house was. I heard that he went to Wang's house before leaving, probably to see Niu's family. It's almost the Chinese New Year. The Wang family did not mean to invite their mother and son to celebrate the New Year together, so the family celebrated the New Year in two places. He didn't have to go to Wang's house for several days. By the time Niu noticed it, it was at least past the seventh day of the first month. Niu's is so sick that only the girl can be called, and there is no one to chase him. Since the Wang family is aware of this matter, they will probably not help the Niu family find someone. Since then, Zhao Yan has been able to get rid of Niu and Zhao Xiang and end up relaxed, no wonder he can't wait to leave. Even if they have to stay in Tongzhou temporarily, but there is no pressure from the Niu family, the life of their mother and son can be relaxed. ”

Zhao Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't think it's that simple. It's almost the New Year, and the New Year is a big deal, right? Anyway, he doesn't have to see Niu during the Chinese New Year, can't he even wait for these days? Now the canal is inconvenient for boats, and even if they leave the capital, they will have to wait in Tongzhou for a month or two before they can go south. The courtyard of Yongji Temple Hutong has not been leased yet, and they don't have to spend a dime more. But when they go to Tongzhou, they have to spend extra money to rent a house. With Zhao Yan's money-greedy temperament, what made him rather spend more money and not be able to take care of it for a year, and leave the capital immediately? I always felt that there must be some special reason. ”

Zhao Qixuan couldn't answer, after he left, Zhao Wei hinted to his sister: "Zhao Yan may have done something to calculate the Niu family, so he can't wait to leave." Did my sister forget? He had been secretly discussing with Niu what to do. ”

Zhao Xiu remembered: "By the way, at that time, he was trying to win the trust of the Niu family, so that the Niu family could simply drive Zhao Ze away, so he had a secret discussion with her." That may have been beyond his means, but he couldn't care about it that much in order to achieve his goal. Now that the goal has been achieved, does he have no worries? ”

Zhao Wei thought of his guess and smiled slightly: "Maybe it's not just that he doesn't have any worries, maybe he also framed the Niu family." The second son of the Wang family will send him a coil, which is also a thought-provoking thing. ”

Zhao Xiu didn't understand: "Brother, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhao Wei smiled: "Wait for a few days to have news from Bailing, and we will know." In fact, it was good that Zhao Yan was gone, and the Niu family drove Zhao Ze out of the house, just because he felt that he still had two grandsons to rely on. If she knew that she had lost even these two grandchildren, she wouldn't know what it was like to feel in her heart. ”

Zhao Xiu suddenly felt sour: "Great! We can't let her know where Zhao Ze is, otherwise she will be entangled again. Let her live with her beloved granddaughter Zhao Xiang and the Wang family for the rest of their lives. Who called the Wang family so 'grateful to report'? He received the grace of his grandfather, but he came to blame his grandfather's wife and grandchildren for not being tolerant enough and refusing to help their enemies. Since they are so tolerant, let's take good care of that pair of insatiable grandchildren! ”

Zhao Wei curled the corners of his mouth slightly. If his speculation is true, the Wang family is only afraid that they will not be able to tolerate it, right?

He didn't say this, but reminded his sister: "It's good to be happy with me." When you see your grandmother, you must be restrained, otherwise your grandmother will find fault with your etiquette again. ”

Zhao Xiu stuck out his tongue. smiled and said: "Actually, I just relax at home, talk casually, and never go wrong outside." Grandmother likes to talk to people when she is old. ”

"What else do you say?" Zhao Wei pretended to have a straight face, "When you went to the Guangping Palace's birthday gift yesterday, you quietly stuffed something into it?" What do you and I don't know? That is, your brother and I are clever enough to cover for you in time. When he arrived at the palace, it was the prince who received the things himself. Fang didn't cause any gossip. If one or two blind people see that bag and know that you put it in, do you still want to be famous? Why did Grandmother count you? Isn't it because you're not cautious enough? ”

Zhao Xiubian flattened his mouth. He whispered, "The cloak I made was intended to be a birthday present for him, but you said that the needlework in the boudoir should not be passed on easily, and refused to send my cloak over." I had no choice but to do so. I used this extraordinary method. In fact, my name was not written on the baggage, and I didn't say anything to the person who gave the gift, so how would outsiders know that it was my needle and thread? If I hadn't sent it yesterday, he would have accompanied the prince into the palace for the New Year, and maybe he wouldn't return to the palace until the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. At that time, his birthday had passed for a long time, so what was the point of giving this thing again? ”

Zhao Wei couldn't help pinching his sister's nose: "You brainless, he has a birthday, what can't you give." Do you have to send your own needlework? This thing is the easiest thing to find out if it's wrong. In case he wears clothes and goes to the palace, the queen mother and the queen mother see each other. Ask who did that, and what do you tell him to say? In the future, don't send hand-made needlework, the four treasures of the study, treasures and antiques, what can't be sent? ”

Is that the same as a handmade gift? Besides-Zhao Xiu muttered in her heart-Gao Zhen had to ask her to send clothes made by herself, what could she do?

Even Zhao Xiu herself didn't realize what kind of sweet mood was behind the helpless complaint when this thought flashed in her heart.

It's the New Year.

This is the first New Year for the second room of the Zhao family to return to the capital after many years of absence from the capital. Ancestor worship, feasts, relatives and friends come and go, eat and play. The Zhao family's small mansion was more lively than ever.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone in Beijing in the sixth room was in the Zhao family's two-room small house, together with Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu's brothers and sisters, accompanied the Zhang family to have a reunion dinner, worship the ancestors, and set off fireworks.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Wei wore the official uniform of the Marquis of Jiannan and went to attend the court meeting, and then there were several days of banquets and entertainment. Zhao Xiu was not idle at home with his grandmother Zhang, in addition to laughing and playing with the daughters and children of his family, he also went to Cao's house to be a guest. It's a pity that the father and son of King Guangping entered the palace, and they couldn't see it, but just sent blessings.

After the fifth day of the first lunar month, the capital calmed down a little, but the exchanges between relatives and friends had just begun. The Zhao family did not have many relatives and friends in the capital, but they were quite quiet for a few days. But the fifth day of the first month is also "breaking five", the six-room store is open, Zhao Qixuan and other six-room people are too busy to stop, Zhao Qixuan's wife and children simply go to the two-room house to eat, and only go back to their house in the evening. Playing with Zhao Huai and Zhao Yuan, who are similar in age, Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu, who have always acted older than their peers, also added a bit of childlike innocence, thinking about going to the temple fair with their cousins and nieces.

Zhang and Zhao Qixuan's wife Ma couldn't let go, but Zhao Wei came forward to pat his chest and promised to bring a few more adult and powerful entourages to follow, so they reluctantly agreed. Zhao Xiu happily dressed up and pulled Zhao Yuan into the carriage. Zhao Wei and Zhao Huai rode horses, and four teenagers and girls set off together with seven or eight male and female servants and women to the temple fair near the drum tower. On the way, Zhao Yuan chattered about the rumors he heard from his neighbors, and there were some delicious and fun things at the temple fair, such as a number of family treasures, which made Zhao Xiu's heart itch, and he couldn't help but lift the corner of the curtain of the car to see if the street market outside was lively as Zhao Yuan said.

At this glance, she found something she did not expect. She hurriedly patted the carriage and said to the driver in front of her: "Go slower and pull over!" ”

The coachman was puzzled, but he still followed her instructions and parked the car on the side of the road, and Zhao Wei rode over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhao Xiu lifted the curtain of the car, looked behind, and beckoned his brother to look over there: "Brother, look at that person, is it Zhao Xiang?" ”

Zhao Xiang was pushed out of the door by the porter of a family with a depressed face, and almost fell to the ground. There is not a single girl around her. The porter also scolded her unceremoniously: "Our girl said, I don't know you!" Where did you come from, a crazy girl, who came to the door and asked people for money? You don't look like you're a poor bastard, why do you still work as a beggar? Let's go! If we don't leave, we'll report to the police! ”

Zhao Xiang cried and threw himself on the door: "I really know your girl, she used to say that she was my good sister, why do you turn her face and don't recognize anyone now?" I also came to your house the year before last, and I rewarded you with two silver bills, both of which weighed two coins, don't you remember? ”

She was answered by a slamming of the door. Zhao Xiang crouched on the drum stone in front of the door and cried. There was another loud shout from inside the door: "Who is crying in front of our house for the New Year?" This is deliberately blocking people, right?! Zhao Xiang was suffocated, and saw a few people around her pointing at her, but after all, she couldn't stand it, and ran away crying in a choked voice.

Zhao Xiu and Zhao Wei looked at each other. Zhao Wei said in a low voice: "Let's go first, don't let her find out." Zhao Xiu understood, retracted into the carriage, and the group rushed back to the direction of the temple fair.

Zhao Xiu thought to himself, for the sake of the New Year, he didn't pay attention to the situation on the Niu family's Zhao Xiang's side for a few days. Looking at Zhao Xiang's down-and-out appearance, could it be that after Zhao Yan left, what happened? (To be continued......)
