Chapter 208: Conspiracy

Blue Butterfly said with a smile; "Madame said that the business matters are decided by the young lady and the young lady, and she can't make the decision on these things, so she just said that she should tell the son about this matter."

Zhao Canniang nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.

"I guess they're still living in the house at this time!" Zhao Canniang knows this kind of person best, the previous Qin Mengjiao and the Yue clan Chu clan are not such people, they didn't achieve their goal, and they were willing to leave.

How could such a person be resigned.

Blue Butterfly nodded: "I didn't leave!" Lived in the green bamboo house. ”

Zhao Canniang understood Mrs. Chen's mind more at this time, Qingzhuju is very remote, it is the most remote yard in Chen's house, and the name is also named because there is a large piece of green bamboo in the yard.

Usually just ask the maid to clean it, and the role of Qingzhuju is to provide fresh bamboo shoots to the Chen Mansion every year.

Even if there are distant relatives who usually come to take refuge, Mrs. Chen will not arrange people to Qingzhuju, and now she actually arranges Aunt Xia's mother and son to Qingzhuju, it seems that Mrs. Chen's heart is also very repulsive to the two mothers and daughters.

Zhao Canniang was talking to Lan Die, and the little maid outside came to report that the old lady had arrived.

Lan Die hurriedly got up from the chair, and then walked behind Zhao Canniang to help Zhao Canniang start rubbing her shoulders.

In a few moments, the old lady had already entered the house.

Zhao Canniang immediately stood up.

"Mother, why are you here?" Zhao Canniang asked in a low voice.

Mrs. Chen sighed and looked at Zhao Canniang and said, "There is nothing wrong with the child!" What did the doctor say? ”

Zhao Canniang said truthfully: "The doctor said that it was the rush that affected the child. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Chen's face became obviously angry: "That mother and daughter are really hated, and my mother didn't mean to let you come over to suffer those embarrassments." Aunt Xia was so good before, why did she change her face when she saw you all of a sudden. Even my mother didn't react to this at the time. ”

Mrs. Chen pulled Zhao Canniang to sit down, a little guilty.

Then Mrs. Chen said, "Aunt Xia is the distant sister of your father-in-law. In the past, our two families were relatively close, but then because their family moved to Rongcheng for business, we didn't have much contact after that, Zhongqiu often played with that Qinglian when she was a child, you don't care about what Aunt Xia said, at that time Zhongqiu was still a four or five-year-old child, what do you know there. ”

Zhao Canniang knew that the old lady was comforting her, afraid that she would be cranky, just the old lady's heart made Zhao Canniang feel content.

"Mother, I know. I won't be angry because of Aunt Xia's matter, just now Lan Die also told me what happened later, I just figured it out, Aunt Xia came here, maybe the real purpose is because of business. ”

Mrs. Chen didn't expect Zhao Canniang to be so far away. She just thought that Aunt Xia wanted to marry her daughter to Chen Zhongqiu.

Now when she heard Zhao Canniang analyze like this, she asked suspiciously: "What do you mean by this, you can explain it to me, and I'll listen to it." ”

"Mother, when I was in the yard before, I heard Aunt Xia talking to you, very kind and kind, but then when I came. But suddenly it seemed like a different person, and he also blamed me, I felt that there was a problem at the time, and then Aunt Xia talked about Qinglian and Zhongqiu. Obviously, it was designed before, and I don't think Aunt Xia wanted Qinglian to be Zhongqiu's concubine, if she really had such a plan. She won't do such ignorant things, I think her purpose is business. Not many people in our family know about the delivery of grain and grass at the border gate, although Zhongqiu went to find some dart games before. But I didn't say that I wanted to go there, and the dart game that Mid-Autumn was looking for was also nearby, and it was definitely not as far as going to Rongcheng, and it would take three or four days to get to Rongcheng here, how did Aunt Xia know? Moreover, there are not many people who know about the White Tiger Dart Bureau to give us darts, and the destination of our darts is there, and they have not mentioned it to the people below. ”

Zhao Canniang is very suspicious, especially when she doubts a person, she will always associate it far away.

Because the matter of providing food to the border pass was very secretive, Chen Zhongqiu was very cautious, and even if it leaked out, it would not spread widely. Aunt Xia, how did they know? Things are questionable.

Mrs. Chen slowly analyzed the meaning of Zhao Canniang's words.

"You mean Aunt Xia has a problem?"

Zhao Canniang was not sure: "It's not completely sure yet, but if you want to rely on our family's kinship with Aunt Xia, if it's because of the business, Aunt Xia can tell us clearly, just say it directly, so that the exhaustive means of beating around the bush are obvious, that is, to force us to agree." ”

Zhao Canniang's analysis makes sense.

Mrs. Chen nodded and said, "You are right, with our relationship, if you want to do business, just explain it directly, you don't need to use such means at all." ”

Zhao Canniang thought a lot: "Then mother, have you ever thought about why they did this, obviously they want to take over the matter of escorting grain and grass, as for the ...... later?"

Zhao Canniang didn't continue, and the rest of the things needed was for Mrs. Chen to think about it herself.

Mrs. Chen also knew that the matter was serious, and quickly stood up.

"Canniang, you take good care of the fetus, I will tell the master about this matter, you can also talk to Zhongqiu, be vigilant!"

The Chen family has been in business for so many years, so naturally there are many business competitors.

Although it is said that there is a relationship with Aunt Xia, after all, there has been no contact for so many years, who knows if Aunt Xia and they have changed.

Chen Zhongqiu didn't know that he was busy there, so he waited until late to come back.

Zhao Canniang told Chen Zhongqiu what happened today.

When Zhao Canniang said the words that Aunt Xia had accused her, Chen Zhongqiu was obviously angry.

"That alone doesn't mean they shouldn't stay in our house." Chen Zhongqiu loves Zhao Canniang very much.

Zhao Canniang's heart was very sweet, and continued: "People are still ready to marry their daughter to you!" ”

Zhao Canniang spoke sourly, and Chen Zhongqiu hurriedly comforted: "Canniang, are you angry?" I don't even remember what happened back then, and if you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have remembered that I knew a girl named Qinglian. ”

Zhao Canniang just laughed. And don't speak.

"Canniang, I said that I like to love you only in this life, so I won't deceive you."

Zhao Canniang leaned on Chen Zhongqiu's arms and continued: "It's better for you to investigate this matter." It's best to go to Rongcheng to investigate, I always feel that Aunt Xia is not easy to come this time. ”

The tree is a big move, and the Chen family is like this now.

Chen Zhongqiu nodded: "I'll send someone to investigate tomorrow." ”

In Qingzhuju, Aunt Xia was sitting at the table drinking soup, while Qinglian was walking back and forth on the side: "Do you want to tell me if this thing will succeed?" The Ke family is waiting for us to reply! ”

Qinglian had a trace of coldness on her face, if Mrs. Chen and Zhao Canniang were here, they would definitely find that Qinglian was different from the daytime.

Aunt Xia snorted coldly: "They will agree, with my cousin's temper, I will definitely agree, but if we really do that, we will really completely offend the Chen family." ”

"Are you reluctant?" Qinglian asked in a low voice.

Aunt Xia shook her head: "It's not that I'm reluctant. But I feel that this family is over like this, and I just sigh a little, the price offered by the Ke family this time is too high, and if you can really marry into the Ke family and marry Ke Tianheng, everything is worth it. ”

Qinglian sat down at this time, her face was full of disdain: "Ke Tianheng's squinting look, I don't like it, mother, can I not marry him?" ”

Aunt Xia sneered: "Don't marry!" Look at how old you are now, you don't marry at the age of sixteen, do you want me to support you for the rest of your life? The Ke family is high. Although Ke Tianheng does not have any substantive rights in his hands, after all, he is the descendant of the Ke family, as long as the Ke family takes over the business of the Chen family this time, the business in the border pass will be done by the Ke family. When the time comes, a steady stream of silver will go into our pockets. ”

Qinglian glanced at Aunt Xia dissatisfiedly: "I didn't call you for nothing, don't you see that the current business of the Yang family is all pulled by me?" There are also the Shen family and the Pan family, don't say I'm having an idle meal. I have a lot of business for my family. ”

Aunt Xia was speechless for a while, and she no longer dwelled on this issue.

Truly. Qinglian has deceived several sons and brothers with beauty tricks in the past two years, and now several families are scrambling to hand over their business to their dart bureau. It's just that the families are not big families, and Aunt Xia and Qinglian naturally look down on them.

"In short, this time we can only succeed and not fail, I think after my trouble today, Mrs. Chen is afraid that she is very angry with me, the matter of marriage is impossible, now there is only business left, they will definitely not be able to agree to it."

Early the next morning, Aunt Xia and Qinglian went to Mrs. Chen's courtyard again, and Mrs. Chen didn't mention anything about business, but just gave Aunt Xia and her daughter a homely routine.

Zhao Canniang knew what happened in the yard over there.

In my heart, I felt that Aunt Xia was very scheming.

Chen Zhongqiu had already sent someone to Rongcheng, and he would know the situation over there as long as he waited.

The Chen family's business in Rongcheng did not have it, so everything could only be learned from this side.

Lan Die told Zhao Canniang everything she had heard, and Zhao Canniang only thought it was for fun, and did not go to Mrs. Chen's yard to make peace.

What the two mothers and daughters are doing now Zhao Canniang thinks they are watching a good show.

"Keep finding out!"

Blue Butterfly nodded and retreated directly.

As soon as Lan Die left, the Qin clan came to Chen's mansion.

And the Qin family also brought a lot of supplements.

Watching the large bags and small bags sent into Zhao Canniang's yard, Zhao Canniang's heart was very warm: "There are all these in my mother's yard, don't send them in the future." ”

Zhao Canniang couldn't help but admonish.

Qin said with a smile: "I know that you don't lack anything at home, this is the intention of my mother and your brother, you have it, and what I bring is mine." ”

Zhao Canniang smiled sweetly: "It's still my mother who is good to me." ”

Because the Qin family still has a lot of things to take care of at home, the Chen family has already given birth to a child a few days ago, a boy.

This made the Qin family and Zhao Qingfeng so happy that they were smirking for several days.

During this time, the Chen family was in confinement, and all the big and small things in the house were taken care of by the Qin family, so they couldn't stay for a long time.

In the courtyard here, Aunt Xia and Qinglian pestered Mrs. Chen to talk, which meant that she wanted Mrs. Chen to quickly agree to the business matters.

Mrs. Chen kept shirking and said that this matter had not been discussed yet.

Aunt Xia was very anxious, but she was helpless.

Zhao Canniang listened to Lan Die talk about the things in Mrs. Chen's yard. I became more and more sure that Aunt Xia came here because of business.

In this way, it was a tormented five days.

On this day, Chen Zhongqiu came back with a happy face. Zhao Canniang was taking a lunch break, and Zhao Canniang woke up as soon as Chen Zhongqiu came in.

Usually, Chen Zhongqiu doesn't come back at noon. Zhao Canniang got up and looked at Chen Zhongqiu, but saw Chen Zhongqiu and said with a happy face: "There is news from Rongcheng, Aunt Xia's Huwei Dart Bureau turned out to be in contact with the Ke family, and the news found out is that Qinglian is going to marry Ke Tianheng, the youngest son of the Ke family. ”

Zhao Canniang listened quietly, but she was thinking about things in her head.

"What do you think about this?" Zhao Canniang looked at Chen Zhongqiu, but saw that Chen Zhongqiu said unhurriedly: "I think the Ke family wants Aunt Xia to get the business of the darts, and then they will do something in the grain and grass, so that if something happens, we will be punished." I expected that this should be a conspiracy of the Ke family, and you have seen it recently, and the Ke family is quite in a state of resurgence. ”

Of course, Zhao Canniang also felt it, she knew about the matter of the shopkeeper Zhu last time, the Ke family is now afraid that they want to return to the previous in a short period of time, and the Ke family now hates Zhao Canniang and them the most, so the business is naturally against the Chen family's business everywhere.

"Tell your mother and father about this, Aunt Xia has been pestering her mother even more in the past few days, and told her mother to make her prepared. Dad also knows it in his heart. ”

Zhao Canniang immediately reminded.

Chen Zhongqiu nodded, what should have been told to Zhao Canniang had already been told to Zhao Canniang, and now it was time to tell his father and mother about this, so that they could be mentally prepared.

"You're waiting for me here. I'll be back in a moment. ”

Zhao Canniang nodded and motioned for Chen Zhongqiu to leave.

Chen Zhongqiu hurriedly went to Master Chen's study, usually at this time. Mr. Chen was reading calligraphy and painting in the study.

Chen Zhongqiu entered the study and saw Master Chen painting with his head buried.

"Daddy and Aunt Xia's matter has been investigated. There is a reason for the Ke family in the middle, the son thinks that Aunt Xia wants to get the business in hand. They and the Ke family were good in the middle. The matter of grain and grass is a big thing, and our Chen family will definitely be implicated at that time, this is just a son's speculation, but one thing is already certain, Qinglian has prepared to marry the little son of the Ke family. ”

Chen Zhongqiu said what he thought in his heart, Master Chen couldn't help frowning, waited for a while, and then said to Chen Zhongqiu: "I know, I won't agree to hand over the business to their family here, you can rest assured, you go and tell your mother to see what she thinks." ”

After Master Chen finished speaking, Chen Zhongqiu obviously saw a trace of loss and disappointment in Master Chen's eyes.

Aunt Xia used to be Master Chen's favorite cousin, although there was a layer in the middle, but the relationship between them was very good, if it wasn't for Aunt Xia's family moving later, the two families made you have less contact, maybe Chen Zhongqiu would have been with Qinglian at the best.

Chen Zhongqiu didn't let go of Master Chen's eyes, shook his head helplessly, and Chen Zhongqiu left.

Mrs. Chen only felt a headache these days, and dealing with Aunt Xia every day had made Mrs. Chen feel bored, and Aunt Xia was still an uninteresting person, and she came over on time every morning and afternoon to greet her, and then she talked endlessly about Qinglian and Chen Zhongqiu.

Mrs. Chen was lying on the soft couch with a headache, and with a helpless face, Chen Zhongqiu went to the courtyard.

Mrs. Chen's face was a little better when she heard that Chen Zhongqiu was coming.

"Mid-autumn, why do you have time to come back today?"

Chen Zhongqiu frowned and stepped forward, and asked with a concerned face, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Mrs. Chen sighed, and then said, "Hey! It's not your Aunt Xia yet...... Let's not talk about this matter, by the way, how about the matter that Canniang asked you to investigate? Mrs. Chen has been looking forward to this matter all day long, and she only hopes to get rid of such torture as soon as possible.

Chen Zhongqiu then said: "I came today to tell my mother about this matter, the matter has been investigated, Aunt Xia's Tiger Dart Bureau has joined forces with the people of the Ke family, this time Aunt Xia is not good, and I am already sure that Aunt Xia wants to follow the Ke family to harm us." ”

After Chen Zhongqiu finished speaking, Mrs. Chen was a little angry: "What you said is true? ”

Chen Zhongqiu nodded, and said with certainty: "Mother is naturally true, can my son still lie to you, I want to discuss with you what to do about this matter now!" If you directly pull down your face with Aunt Xia, I am afraid that Aunt Xia will preach everywhere that our family is unkind and unjust, and it is obviously impossible to agree. ”

Mrs. Chen's brows were furrowed, and she could see that she also felt that things were a little difficult to do.

"What about Qinglian's matter? You know what's going on? ”

Chen Zhongqiu then said: "Qinglian and the little son of the Ke family plan to marry, I think this is the transaction between them. ”

Seeing Chen Zhongqiu say this, Mrs. Chen suddenly laughed.

"Mother knows what to do, you have to discuss this matter with Canniang, then Aunt Xia has talked about the most in the past two days is the affection between you and Qinglian when she was a child, let's take advantage of this, didn't she say that Qinglian had a close relationship with you when she was a child, and she also said that day that she didn't mind Qinglian being a concubine, so we will take advantage of this."

Mrs. Chen held her breath for a few days, and when she saw that she could relieve her anger, her thoughts in her heart became a little strange.

When Chen Zhongqiu heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Niang's matter can't be helped, Canniang will definitely not agree, and when the time comes, she will be unhappy, won't the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Mrs. Chen glanced at Chen Zhongqiu and said, "I'm not asking you to really marry, even if they are willing, I won't want to!" That's how I want to push them back. (To be continued......)
