Chapter 25: Questioning

Shuyun's analysis found that the current situation of the Xu and Lu families is indeed very difficult. sighed, and said to Old Man Xu: "Grandpa, I haven't thought of any good way now, it's almost noon, I'll go back first to see if Mr. Chen has come back, if he comes back, I'll bring him to see you, okay?"

"Yes, yes. It just so happens that I also want to meet this Tai Chi master. By the way, thank you for escorting you all the way here. Grandpa happily agreed.

So Shuyun got up and walked out. In fact, Shuyun calculated that Chen Ce would not come back so soon, so she said that she would go back. reunited with the Xu family, met the Lu family for the first time, and several new daughters-in-law of the Xu family. I have to give some gifts, and I have to get some money for the old man. This has to be fetched in space. Let Chen Ce find out that it is not good, and now while he is away, Shuyun has to hurry up and get these things done. That's why I made an excuse to go back.

After Shuyun went back, Chen Ce really hadn't come back yet. So Shuyun quickly returned to the room and locked the door. Entering the space, I rummaged through the gifts I was going to give to everyone, and wrapped a large bag of candy and chocolates made by myself, plus a lot of white rabbit toffee that was stored in the storage space before, peeled off the candy paper. Everything added up to a big bag.

Shuyun struggled to hold her things and went to the courtyard where Xu Lu's two families lived. Lunch was coming soon, and everyone was in the hall. Shuyun gave the gifts to everyone one by one.

Each child has a very beautiful little gem. The women each wore an exotic piece of silver jewelry in the Arabesque style set with precious stones. The gifts to men were small pieces of ivory. What was given to Xu Lu and the two old men was a box of the best red robes each.

Of course, for the Xu family, Shuyun sent some other things in private. Especially for Dongxue, it was a diamond necklace that the Queen of France once cherished very much. I'm so happy with this girl. In addition, Mr. Xu also added a jar of 2 catties of white jade honey. When Shuyun introduced the effect of honey to the old man, the old man held the honey jar and looked in, and said that he must study it carefully. Then Shuyun handed over another 100 taels of gold to the old man.

After lunch, Shuyun called a group of children and took out the bag of candy. Shuyun just opened the package, and standing next to her, Brother Sheng, Dongxue's fat son, grabbed a white rabbit and stuffed it in his mouth. Then he pounced on the pile of candy, and the little fat hand pulled into his arms vigorously, and his chubby little body was almost lying on the pile of candy.

Shuyun was dumbfounded next to her, is this a child, or a bandit? It's just over a year old, strongman!

Damn, Ms. Dongxue was not slow to respond, she still dragged her over as usual as in the morning, and hit her fat ass full of meat twice, and scolded: "You are a useless plaything, who are you like, you will know how to eat bulabula in one day."

And a room full of people still have to do what they should do, no one pays attention to this stubble at all, it seems that everyone is not surprised. Only the child and his father, Lu Jinjie stroked his forehead, and there was a black line on his face.

Shuyun really likes this big fat boy, and he has such a lot of energy, so he hurriedly pulled away the winter snow and picked up Brother Sheng. Then beckoned everyone to come: "Everyone come and try this candy, I make sure you haven't eaten it, it tastes good."

Among the two families, Dongxue was the most polite and took a piece of chocolate and put it in his mouth. As he ate, he said, "This chocolate is so delicious, it's better than what you gave me before." ”

He pointed to the White Rabbit Milk Candy and said, "This is called White Rabbit Milk Candy, I remember when you were a child, you used to give it to me to eat." Anything else? Get me some later. ”

Then he also beckoned everyone to "Everyone come and try it, these are all foreigners' things, rare things that we don't have in the Qing Dynasty." ”

Shuyun looked at Dongxue and rolled her eyes. The belly slandered, "If there is really a mother, there must be a son, and I asked who the little fat man looks like?" I look like you, look at the faces of your mother and son, it's exactly the same! ”

And what makes people even more speechless is that Lu Jinjie, who is not far away, looks at his wife like this, with a smirk and obsession on his face, his eyes are still hooked, and his dark face has a faint flush.

How can you be so obsessed with winter snow? This level of appreciation, simply

However, Shuyun is really happy for her when she sees Dongxue so happy now. In such an era of machismo, it is Dongxue's blessing to find a husband like Lu Jinjie who is honest and loves her very much.

Chen Ce didn't come back until dinner time, and when he saw Shuyun leaving a note in his room, he knew that Shuyun was in this courtyard, so he came over. Shuyun introduced him to the crowd to each other.

After dinner, a group of women took their children to the back to rest. The two old men stayed in the hall with the rest of the men, wanting to discuss the future arrangements. Shuyun and Chen Ce were also left behind by the old man.

Chen Ce is fine, but for Shuyun to be left to discuss such an important matter, except for Dongxue's father Xu Ziqing and uncle Xu Ziming. Everyone was very surprised, but everyone trusted Old Man Xu very much, so no one said anything.

The old man asked Lu Lao to start first. So Old Man Lu said, "As for the future of our two families, if you have any opinions, let's talk about it." ”

Mr. Lu has four sons and one daughter, and his daughter Lu Qiang is the youngest, and he is married to Lu Lao's protégé, Wei Qiushi, the imperial doctor of the Beijing Tai Hospital, and the couple are now in the capital. The remaining four sons—Ping, An, Kang, and Tai—are all here today.

After the old man asked, Lu Lao, who looked very calm, spoke, "Dad, Uncle Xu, my opinion is to go to Qinghai, Qinghai is close to here, and the road will be relatively safer, there are so many of us, if we go to the capital, we will have to go through Shaanxi, in that case, there are too many variables." ”

After Lu Ping finished speaking, the fourth Lu Tai, Xu Ziqing, and Xu Ziming all agreed with him.

And Lu An and Lu Kang were in favor of going to Shaanxi and going to the capital. Lu An said, "My little sister and brother-in-law are both in the capital, and Uncle Xu also has a house in the capital, and he has lived there for many years, so he is very familiar with everything. So if we want to go to the capital, we don't have to worry about life problems. And after all, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, protected by layers of protection, and it is unlikely that the rebels will fight past, so it will be more stable than Qinghai. There will be difficulties on the road, but when you get to the capital, it will be done once and for all. ”

Lu Ping listened to Lu An's words and asked, "I also know that it's good to go to the capital, but how to go along the way?" ”

After listening to Lu Ping's words, everyone fell silent.

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Old Man Xu stroked the white beard under his chin, opened his mouth and said, "Yunyun, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard the old man order Shuyun to ask for countermeasures. Immediately, everyone turned their eyes to Shuyun, wanting to see what was so good about this little girl who was so valued by Old Man Xu. This also includes Xu Ziqing and Xu Ziming, who used to just hear the old man praise Shuyun, and now they also want to verify Shuyun's wisdom.

Shuyun glanced at everyone quietly, and the reactions of the people were all in sight. Then he slowly tapped his fingers on the armrest of the chair, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "Listen to everyone, in fact, I still want to go to the capital, Qinghai is just a last resort." Then we have to think about how to go to the capital now. ”

After saying this, Shuyun looked at Old Man Xu again and asked, "Grandpa, do you understand Wang Fuchen?" ”

The old man summed it up succinctly: "I know a little bit about this person. The famous 'horse harrier', the earliest peasant army in the late Ming Dynasty, is not a person with a firm position, it can be said that he is a grass on the wall, and he is very cunning. However, it is said that the battle was fought well. To my surprise, this time he even killed Morro, very resolutely. ”

Shuyun listened to the old man's evaluation of Wang Fuchen, and then said: "The grass on the wall is poured on both sides." In other words, he can follow Wu Sangui to oppose the imperial court today, and he may be able to oppose Wu Sangui again tomorrow and surrender to the imperial court. As for the killing of Mo Luo, I know a little bit, I heard that there was a festival between them, after the rebellion of the three feudatories, Mo Luo passed through the mountains and Shaanxi, and they had a very unpleasant quarrel, Wang Fuchen was afraid that he would be controlled by others, so he killed him ruthlessly. And I heard that his son Wang Jizhen is also interested in the imperial court, and does not approve of Wang Fuchen's vote for Wu Sangui. In this case, as a person, he is thinking about his children and grandchildren, and he will leave a line when doing things. He has no grudges with us, unlike Morro. Presumably he has also heard of grandpa, and he should know that the Empress Dowager attaches great importance to her grandfather, although grandpa is no longer a doctor, but listening to Dongxue, the Empress Dowager still cares about you and often asks people to send some rewards. People who come often pass through Shaanxi, and he will have some understanding of these. Besides, we are just some inconsequential people, so if we go to Shaanxi, he may not embarrass us. Even if he finds out and detains us, there will be no danger to our lives, grandpa is a bargaining chip, he will sell the favor of the court. ”

Seeing that everyone listened carefully, they all looked at Shuyun directly, and no one asked. Shuyun took a sip of tea, and continued: "These are just speculations I made, what may happen once we are discovered, the main thing now is to think of a way not to be exposed." When Uncle Chen and I came here from Guizhou, we hid on a salt ship back to Zigong. When I got off the ship in Zigong, I found that there were some ships on the wharf that were going to transport salt to Shaanxi, and as long as there was a guide, the inventory was not very strict. So as long as I am careful and carefully arranged, I want to go out of Sichuan to Shaanxi, and it is not a big problem. The point is that going from Shaanxi to Shanxi will be a little troublesome. Most of the salt ships must have arrived in Xi'an, which is not far from Yuncheng in Shanxi, with only a Weinan in between, and then across the Yellow River is Yuncheng. We can make some fake identification and road guides, and go out of Xi'an to Weinan in batches. Now the key question is how to cross the Yellow River without realizing it. ”
