"Are you sure?" Zheng Changming stared at Fang Shaohua's eyes tightly, this news was too important to the Zheng family. Although the Zheng family's strength in the state capital is okay, everyone wants to go further.

Therefore, the Zheng family has always wanted to operate in the capital, but there is no suitable person or willing to help them.

But three years ago, suddenly someone in the capital came to inquire about the special watermelon, and the Zheng family couldn't get it by all means. With this opportunity, the Zheng family has been searching everywhere for what they want, but there has been no clue.

The news Fang Shaohua said gave Zheng Changming a lot of hope, even if it was just a little clue, it would be able to make their family have a relationship with the family in the capital.

"Uncle, the person I sent is very reliable, although I can't get one, but he overheard the people in Zhuyuan say that the watermelon is worth ten taels of silver." Fang Shaohua said affirmatively.

"Then eight or nine will not be far from ten." Fang Youwei let out a long breath.

"Yes." Zheng Changming also nodded, with a relaxed expression on his face.

"When I said that, I remembered, too." Zheng also had a sudden expression of realization at this time, "I also lived in that garden, and at that time I just thought that the food there was good and tasted very good, and I thought it was because of my state of mind, but now I think that there are indeed some unknown things in it." ”

"Oh, what's the difference?" Zheng Changming faintly felt that there was a greater opportunity in front of him.

"Big brother, do you remember the very rare special rice made of white rice that you enjoyed at the prefect's place?" Zheng Changming listened to Zheng's words and nodded.

"I can't forget that taste!" He couldn't help but sigh. Specialty white rice is also a rare good thing in Beijing, and the annual output is limited. Even if the amount has been large in the past two years, there are still few that have spread to the state capital.

That is, the prefect got some in the capital, and in order to show off, he invited them to eat.

"Are you saying that there are also this special white rice bamboo gardens?" It's unbelievable.

Zheng Changming's eyes widened, and his breathing became heavy. I thought I came here to solve the mess made by my nephew, but I didn't expect him to encounter such a big surprise.

Legend has it that these two things are only sold by the Kigetsu Trading House in the capital, and they are self-produced and sold.

But since this bamboo garden also has it, is that not an explanation. They actually sold some seeds, too. As long as this news is passed on to the family in the capital, will the benefits of their own family be less?

The more Zheng Changming thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to go to the state capital immediately to write a letter to the capital.

However, he was cautious, and he still barely suppressed the joy in his heart. "Shaohua. These days. You have to be honest, and you have to keep an eye on the people in the garden, but you have to be careful not to let them find out. This news is very important. It's good for us. ”

After admonishing Fang Shaohua seriously. Zheng Changming had a secret conversation with Fang Youwei for a while. He quickly said goodbye and left.

On the one hand, the Zheng Fang family wanted to find out that the bamboo garden did have these two things, and on the other hand, they also had to find out the true origin of the owner of the bamboo garden. It is convenient for them to report to the family in the capital to know the Tao, and there are more benefits to be taken.

At this time, the bamboo garden was lively, and no one thought that a variable was about to come here.

"Got a clue?!" In a certain Hou Mansion in the capital, its owner heard the news from his subordinates, and he accidentally knocked over the teacup on the table in an excited way.

"Back to Master Hou, there is news below, saying that someone has found this special watermelon in Song County, and there are also clues about special white rice." The butler lowered his head and told the news to the person sitting on the top seat.

"Send someone to check on it right away." Hou Ye solemnly instructed, "Be careful, don't let others know the truth." Can't reveal the slightest bit of information, do you know the way? ”

"Yes." The steward was ordered to go out.

"Hehe, there's finally news, hmph, look at how long that little Muyue Merchant House can be rampant." A smug smile appeared on Hou Ye's face.

After a short time, many people walked out of the Hou Mansion, all of them were hardcover and simple. And it quickly blends into the crowd, and it can't be distinguished in the blink of an eye.

There are only three big characters on the plaque on the gate of the Hou Mansion, Hui'an Hou.

"Mother, Xiao Qi has been out of the country for so long, and my heart is always up and down, do you want to send someone to pick him up." The Zhao family came to Mrs. Lin's house again, with an anxious look, and begged her for mercy.

Not only did his son not discuss it with him, but as soon as he went out, it was more than two months, and Zhao was more or less worried. Of course, this is not the most important thing, there must be someone around her son to protect her, but she herself has to be good in front of the old lady in order to increase her favorability in the old man's heart.

Although it has been more than two years, Mrs. Lin has been lukewarm to the Zhao family and Lin Qingxue, seeing that Qingxue is still a year or two away, if Mrs. Lin does not speak, how can she, a mother, go out of her way to plan for her daughter.

What's more, Mrs. Lin has a lot of suitable candidates for her grandson-in-law, so she has to come up with a few of them, and let Lin Qingxue pick and choose with herself.

"If you've had enough, you'll come back." Old Madam Lin said nonchalantly. In the past two years, she has seen the interaction between Lin Zhu and Lin Yuewei clearly. Lin Zhu not only did not get any benefits from the Lin Mansion through Lin Yuewei, but often sent something suitable for Lin Yuewei's use or consumption.

Xu is because Lin Qinglan once spoke for Lin Zhu, so whatever Lin Yuewei has, she must have a share.

This made the other ladies in the Lin Mansion very greedy.

After stumbling upon the things Lin Zhu gave were all things that were difficult to buy on the market, Mrs. Lin had to bring up the issue of Lin Zhu with Old Man Lin again.

The reply is still that the grandchildren are allowed to continue their relationship with Lin Zhu. This made Old Madam Lin very puzzled. However, Old Man Lin was very strict-mouthed, and he never asked the reason.

"But, mother, this is also too much to delay Xiao Qi's studies. The daughter-in-law is really afraid that he will not be able to do it in the future. "Zhao looks like a loving mother.

Old Madam Lin didn't speak, in fact, she didn't expect to be gone for such a long time. The news from the person who served Lin Yuewei said that Lin Yuewei not only did not fall behind in his homework, but also made progress in his studies.

So that doesn't at all be a reason to take him back.

After sending the Zhao family away, Mrs. Lin was also thinking about whether to wait for Old Man Lin to come back and discuss with him how to bring Lin Yuewei back.

Zhao returned to his yard listlessly, his face was very bad, he used to look at Lin Zhu unpleasantly, but now he simply hates her.

Her sons were abducted by her. There's no way to get it back yet. It's really infuriating.

Annoyed, the Zhao family had no one to serve. I sat alone in the house for a long time until Lin Shurui came back.

"What's going on?" As soon as he entered the house and found that there was not even a single subordinate except for his wife, Lin Shurui was a little puzzled.

"Xianggong. You're back. Zhao raised his head. Some redness and swelling of the eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Shurui frowned. looked at Zhao's eyes that had obviously cried.

"The concubine has nothing to do." Zhao wiped his eyes with a handkerchief. "I haven't eaten yet, so the concubine will tell my subordinates to get it."

Zhao hurriedly stood up, but his legs were a little numb after sitting for a long time. One stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Lin Shurui was in a hurry to help her.

"Don't worry about food or not, tell your husband, what's going on?" Lin Shurui raised his voice, "Someone's coming." ”

"Yes, Third Master." Zhao's personal maid immediately responded.

"Third lady, what's wrong? How do you serve? Lin Shurui asked sharply.

The personal maid was also taken aback by Zhao's appearance, obviously she was still in good shape when she left, why did she become like this now? She quickly knelt down, "Back to the third master, Madam may believe in the seventh young master too much." The maid thought of the matter of the Zhao family going to Mrs. Lin to beg for no result today. Peeked at Zhao's eyes again, and replied smartly.

"Miss Xiao Qi?" Lin Shurui was a little unconvinced, "Really? He looked at Zhao in the crook of his arm.

"Xianggong, Xiao Qi has been out of the country for a long time." His voice was a little choked, and he seemed to be speechless.

"Go down." Lin Shurui waved his hand and let the maid go.

"Two days ago, my father-in-law sent a message that he would send someone to Song County to do some things in the next few days, and let them pick up Xiao Qi back when the time comes." Lin Shurui suddenly felt that his son had been gone for too long.

"Really?" Zhao raised his head, looking like he was about to come true.

"Of course it's true, and depending on what my father-in-law means, this trip may be very rewarding." Lin Shurui more or less guessed something from Hui Anhou's words.

"What's the catch?" What is good for his mother's family, Zhao is very concerned.

"I can't say it yet." Lin Shurui shook his head. "In a few days, you can ask your father-in-law for yourself."

Under the persuasion of Lin Shurui, Zhao used some food. And Lin Shurui went to his mother, Mrs. Lin's house.

He sent someone to Song County, hoping to discuss the matter of bringing Lin Yuewei back with his mother and father by the way. After all, Lin Yuewei was the second elder of them who nodded and agreed to go out to play. If you want him to come back, of course, you need the approval of the second elder.

"What is the Zhao family doing in Song County?" Old Man Lin is different from Old Madam Lin, so he naturally thinks that things will be more.

The Zhao family's action was unusual, so he was a little vigilant.

"It seems to be about business." Lin Shurui didn't think it was wrong to talk to Old Man Lin about it, although it was still his conjecture, but if the Zhao family could succeed in fighting the Lin Mansion, it would also be beneficial. "I heard that there is news of special rice seeds."

"What?" Old Man Lin's heart moved, how could he not know who the special rice of Ludao was.

"I said that I found it in a small garden, I don't know if it's true or not, my father-in-law has sent someone to check it." Lin Shurui said happily, "If it's true, I will definitely be able to take down that kind of son with my father-in-law's means, so that I can see how long the Muyue Commercial Bank can be rampant." ”

Old Man Lin's heart sank, he was clear about the place where Lin Zhu and the others went, if it was really Zhuyuan's revelation of the news, it would definitely bring unexpected trouble to Lin Zhu. (To be continued......)
