Chapter 238: Crisis
You can't live a quiet life.
Erhu smiled: "Don't worry, this time I'm not the only one who comes, there are also the secret guards around the emperor, unless the right minister is a Daluo Immortal, otherwise I can't run away." ”
Before the second tiger finished speaking, Zhao Canniang heard a scream in the distance.
Zhao Canniang looked at Erhu with some surprise.
"Don't worry, we're just trying to be on the safe side, the right minister's hand and tendon are broken." The person who said this was Xin Feng, Zhao Canniang heard this, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her forehead and said, "You guys are really ruthless." ”
Erhu looked at Zhao Canniang with a smile and said: "We won't go into the city with you, we have to escort the right minister back to the royal city as soon as possible, we know your hard work, the eldest brother said, after this dart is delivered, you don't have to escort the goods over, konjac We will come and transport it ourselves at that time, thank you Canniang, if it weren't for you, we really don't know how to survive the most difficult time." ”
Erhu said very sincerely, Zhao Canniang smiled: "Brother Erhu, don't be polite, I have always kept the konjac for you, as for whether you say or not to escort the dart, we will listen to you." ”
After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, Erhu continued: "You misunderstood what I meant, I mean that you continue to buy grain, the officers and soldiers you sent to the grain are very fond of it, they all say that there is a taste of home, a hundred family rice, maybe there is really the taste of their hometown, we will send someone to transport it in the future, you don't have to worry about things on the road, now we have silver, and the grain in the future will be purchased with cash, as for those treasures that have not been sold, it is our compensation to you." ”
Xin Feng also nodded: "Don't refuse, this is the emperor's meaning." The emperor knows what you have encountered in the past almost a year, and he is also very guilty. Those treasures are your compensation. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Canniang nodded gratefully: "Take me to thank the emperor." ”
Erhu glanced into the distance. smiled: "Our people are all here, and we are leaving, Canniang pays attention to her body and takes care of herself, maybe we will meet again in the future, and Brother Le'er often says that he wants to see the little guy, if he has time to draw a portrait and send it to the border gate." ”
Erhu was a little reluctant after speaking: "I still miss the time when I was in Yucheng." ”
After speaking, the two tigers left without looking back.
Xin Feng also hugged his fists and said goodbye.
Zhao Canniang looked at the shadow of the group gradually disappearing, and Zhao Canniang sighed in her heart.
Fortunately, the dust has settled, and Jumbo Zhai will be able to return to normal in the future.
I finally climbed up from the top of the city wall.
When I got off the city wall, I saw Chen Zhongqiu walking back and forth anxiously at the city gate.
Zhao Canniang's heart warmed: "Mid-autumn." ”
Chen Zhongqiu heard the familiar voice, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Canniang, you have nothing to do!" I'm so worried that something is wrong with you. You said you chased it out and didn't say a word. ”
The time when Zhao Canniang left just now was the most torturous moment for Chen Zhongqiu.
I was always worried that something would happen to Zhao Canniang.
Zhao Canniang smiled: "I don't have anything to do, you don't have to worry." ”
"The matter has been settled, and the right minister has been arrested."
Zhao Canniang was in a very good mood, as long as the right minister was caught, Zhao Canniang felt a lot better, and the big stone hanging in her heart just fell.
Chen Zhongqiu still wanted to ask, but Zhao Canniang said with a smile: "Let's go back and talk slowly, it's so dark outside." ”
After saying that, he got into the carriage.
On the carriage, Chen Zhongqiu felt extremely tormented in his heart, and wanted to hear how things turned out. Zhao Canniang's face was weird.
Seeing that Chen Zhongqiu was really a little uncomfortable, he said: "Your friend Xin Feng asked me to tell you, I'm sorry he lied to you." ”
Hearing this, Chen Zhongqiu looked at Zhao Canniang in surprise. Then he asked: "Xin Feng, why did you see Xin Feng, is he really the person on the right?" ”
Zhao Canniang shook her head directly: "Xin Feng is not the person of the right phase, he is just lurking beside the right minister." It's the emperor's person, by the way, I also saw Brother Erhu. ”
This time, Chen Zhongqiu was even more surprised: "What did you say that Brother Erhu is still here?" What about others, why don't you invite them in? ”
"I told you not to worry. You'll know the truth of the matter after listening to me, really. Now that the matter is settled, you are still in such a hurry. ”
Zhao Canniang smiled slightly.
Chen Zhongqiu nodded and scratched his head: "Then you speak slowly." ”
Zhao Canniang continued: "Here's the thing, Brother Erhu was sent by the emperor with the news sent by my brother, and Brother Erhu came three days ago. ”
Zhao Canniang told Chen Zhongqiu what happened little by little on the carriage, and Chen Zhongqiu was only surprised in his heart.
"It's a twist and turn, but it's good that we made the right choice."
Chen Zhongqiu heard Zhao Canniang finish speaking, he only sighed in his heart, Zhao Canniang smiled slightly: "No matter what, if the matter is solved, I will rest assured, or if I don't solve it, I always feel that something is stuck in my throat and it is very uncomfortable." ”
Chen Zhongqiu continued: "You just said that there is something to tell us, what is it? ”
"Brother Erhu said that after this time, we don't have to personally find the dart bureau to escort the grain and grass to the border gate, they will send someone to pick them up, we only need to buy the grain, and the rest of the treasures will be given to us."
Zhao Canniang was a little excited when she said this, you know, treasures are worth a lot of silver.
When Chen Zhongqiu heard Zhao Canniang's words, he was in a better mood: "Then didn't we make a lot of money?" ”
Zhao Canniang looked at Chen Zhongqiu and said, "Yes! But you thought about it, and it wasn't easy to make money. ”
Zhao Canniang sighed: "Fortunately, now that the matter is resolved, we can also sleep peacefully." ”
It's already the second watch time when I get home.
The fire on the other side of the house has been extinguished.
Early in the morning of the second day, Zhao Canniang went to the Qin family.
Because of such a thing, Zhao Qingfeng and the Qin family were not worried about Zhao Canniang, so they postponed the date of leaving, and Zhao Canniang went today to see the two of them.
Most of the people in the city are talking about last night's fire today, and Zhao Canniang still feels a little sorry in her heart, such a good yard burned like this. Now it can only be rebuilt.
The Qin family and the Chen family also heard the news about the burning of the Chen family's house this morning.
As soon as Zhao Canniang left, Qin's hanging heart was put down: "Canniang, you don't have anything, right?" ”
Zhao Canniang shook her head directly: "Mother, don't worry, I'm fine." I'm here today to tell you that the right minister has been caught. ”
Zhao Qingfeng has nothing to do because everything has been dealt with. So just wait at home.
Hearing Zhao Canniang say this, she also relieved her heart: "As long as there is nothing to do, my mother is just waiting for your words, if we can, we will leave tomorrow, the delay has been a little long recently, and there is something happening in Yucheng." ”
Zhao Qingfeng's mood was a little heavy.
Zhao Canniang sat down and looked at the shopkeeper Zhang on the side, the matter between him and the Qin family had been done, just a few days ago.
It was very simple to invite a few people with good relationships to have dinner together, and the matter was announced at that time.
The Qin family also sat down: "I heard about the burning of your house today. It scared me so much that I couldn't sleep. ”
The Qin family sighed a little, and Zhao Canniang smiled slightly: "Mother, you don't have to worry so much, Brother Erhu is here in person, this matter can be regarded as finished, and in the future, we only care about the purchase of grain and the delivery of grain, and there will be a lot less things in the future." ”
When Qin heard Zhao Canniang say this, his heart was even more relaxed.
"That's fine, my mother is worried about this."
The family talked harmoniously together, and they were still a little reluctant to each other.
On the second day, Zhao Canniang reluctantly sent Qin and Zhao Qingfeng away.
Look at the carriage that is gradually moving away. Chen Zhongqiu silently accompanied Zhao Canniang by Zhao Canniang's side.
"If we are really reluctant, we will go to Yucheng in the future." Chen Zhongqiu's voice was very soft, Zhao Canniang nodded, and sighed: "It's just that I'm a little unaccustomed." ”
Mrs. Ji also came out today to send them to the Qin family. Hearing Zhao Canniang say this, she walked to Zhao Canniang's side with a smile and said, "Silly boy, there will be a godmother after no mother." It's still your home, if you want to come back. You can still come back! ”
Zhao Canniang nodded, feeling a little better.
Mrs. Ji has to go back to deal with those things at home, and she can't stay long.
So leave in a hurry.
Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu went to the White Tiger Dart Bureau. In the future, if you don't bet on darts, you have to tell the white dart master in advance.
Because of the good relationship between the White Tiger Dart Bureau and the Chen family in recent times, and the martial arts skills of the White Tiger Dart Board are strong, it has attracted many dart masters who come to the White Tiger Dart Bureau at once.
As soon as they walked into the courtyard, they saw that the dart master of the White Tiger Dart Bureau was practicing, and Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu went directly into the house to find Bai Renyi.
Bai Renyi has been in good spirits recently on happy occasions, and there are many people who come to the dart game every day to ask to be a dart master, and there are many businesses that come to the door.
Bai Renyi saw Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu coming in, and immediately stood up: "Young Lady and Chen Gongzi are here, sit down."
Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu sat on the chairs on the side.
Zhao Canniang said with a smile: "The master of the white dart can prepare and set off tomorrow." ”
This matter dragged on for a long time, and Dart should have left Baiyun County a long time ago.
The White Dart Lord smiled and asked, "Is the matter already settled?" ”
Bai Renyi only knew about the treasures that Zhao Canniang and the others were escorting everywhere, and he didn't know some of the inside information, so he asked curiously at this time.
Zhao Canniang smiled and nodded: "Things are all done, this time I came here to tell the white dart master another thing." ”
Bai Renyi looked at Zhao Canniang suspiciously, and motioned for Zhao Canniang to continue.
Zhao Canniang said: "Here's the thing, I saw General Erhu yesterday, and General Erhu said that they would come to escort the grain and grass in the future, so ......." ”
Bai Renyi suddenly understood what Zhao Canniang meant.
"It turned out to be this thing, there is no problem, just after this dart came back, I also had a good time to rectify the White Tiger Dart Bureau, to be honest, many dart masters have asked to come to the door recently, all of this I know, it was given to us by the young lady, and no one in the nearby dart bureau dared to look down on us as before, thinking about it feels like a dream."
Bai Renyi sighed in his heart, thinking that the dart game was going to be closed before, if it wasn't for Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu who gave them a chance, it would be impossible for them to gain a foothold in Baiyun County now, and it would be impossible for them to have such achievements as they are now.
Hearing Bai Renyi's polite words again, Zhao Canniang immediately waved her hand and said, "Don't be polite, Lord Bai, I said it before." It's all mutual, and I wouldn't have found you if you weren't reliable. It's just that in the future, our Chen family's will definitely do it for you. ”
With a reliable dart game, Chen Zhongqiu will not be so hard in the future.
"Thank you, young lady." Bai Renyi said gratefully.
Chen Zhongqiu looked around. I think this place is really good for dart: "If there is anything else in the white dart game that needs our help, remember not to be polite." ”
The carriages were all tied in advance, and the carriages looked out of the city, and Chen Zhongqiu's heart was also relieved.
Quiet days tend not to last long, and sometimes something special happens when you let your guard down.
Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu were still wondering why Ke Tianlin had quieted down recently, and something had happened.
There is news from all over the country that someone is deliberately disrupting the market and deliberately pulling down prices.
As soon as such news came, Chen Zhongqiu's heart rose again.
Ke Tianlin here has become a little abnormal since the third princess left. Every day at home, I am suspicious and suspicious, and I don't feel at ease with everyone.
The worst is Ke Sigongzi.
Ke Sigongzi can only recite poems and paint in his yard every day, and it is impossible to go out, why is it because Ke Tianlin is afraid of Ke Sigongzi's nonsense.
The entire courtyard was made into a miasma by Ke Tianlin.
Song Qinglian returned to Rongcheng from Baiyun County and returned to the Ke family, and most of the current Huwei Dart Bureau is someone else's, and it is just humiliating to stay.
It's not easy to return to Kefu, Song Qinglian knows very well in her heart that she can't blame anyone else for all this, but she just serves Ke Sigongzi with all her heart every day.
The child born to the third princess. Ke Tianlin didn't throw it, he didn't throw it away, it was really an eyesore to keep it around, so he simply gave the child to one of the men that day to raise outside.
Not many people know about this. But Ke Tianlin felt that he was uncomfortable.
The little guy told Ke Tianlin about the recent movements of the Chen family, and after hearing that the right minister was arrested, Ke Tianlin's mood actually improved.
You must know that the right minister is not a threat to Chen Zhongqiu. At the beginning, in order to protect the Ke family, Ke Tianlin gave the court a lot of silver. This saved itself from disaster, to a large extent. This is an act of distancing ties with the right.
The right phase was naturally jealous and hateful, so when Chen Zhongqiu and they were at ease to deal with the right phase, Ke Tianlin watched coldly from the side, and did not trouble Chen Zhongqiu and them, now that the matter is settled, naturally everything will be back on track.
"Keep making trouble for me, until I know that the Chen family can't continue to do business." Ke Tianlin only said this sentence and stopped.
The Chen family didn't know that the real crisis was coming.
The Chen family's business didn't know why, all of a sudden it was chaotic everywhere, the shopkeepers everywhere were busy, Chen Zhongqiu and Zhao Canniang also dealt with it everywhere, but it was often calmed down here, and things began to happen in another place.
made Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu overwhelmed.
Zhao Canniang was very irritable and walked back and forth in the yard.
Chen Zhongqiu looked at Zhao Canniang's irritable appearance, and felt a little unbearable: "Canniang, don't worry, it's really not good, let's avoid the edge for the time being." ”
Chen Zhongqiu has also been exhausted recently.
Zhao Canniang sighed and said, "I didn't expect Ke Tianlin to be so despicable this time. ”
Many stores are caused by people, and the reputation of the Chen family has deteriorated a lot at once.
Zhao Canniang can't say if she is bitter.
Chen Zhongqiu was very helpless: "We have been tired for more than a month, so let's make trouble if we want to!" Keep the door closed for a month. ”
Zhao Canniang shook her head directly: "We can't close the door, once we close the door, others will say that we are weak-hearted, since Ke Tianlin is so despicable, why do we have to fight with Ke Tianlin openly!" ”
It's not that she can't play despicable means, Zhao Canniang will too, but she used to disdain it, but now she is forced to do this, and she can't do it if she doesn't want to.
"What do you want to do?" Chen Zhongqiu asked worriedly.
Zhao Canniang smiled weirdly: "Don't they like to make trouble, let's let them make trouble, let's do it." ”
Zhao Canniang muttered in Chen Zhongqiu's ear.
People are terrible, Zhao Canniang understands this truth, Ke Tianlin made such a big effort to make these things, if Zhao Canniang only knows how to fight fires and doesn't know how to fight back, then she is really a fool.
On the second day, Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu uncharacteristically did not go everywhere to deal with business, those troublemakers made trouble in the Chen family's store during the day, and naturally had to go home at night, and Zhao Canniang's people followed these people home.
As time passed, Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu had fully understood the identities of all the troublemakers.
Without exception, these people are all buddies of the Ke family.
Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu looked at the information sent back at hand, and both of them laughed.
The third princess is in the royal city, but she has been observing the movements of the Ke family.
If you want to say what kind of news the third princess gave to the emperor to exchange and save herself, this outsider doesn't know.
The people in Wangcheng only knew that the third princess, who was almost beheaded for treason, returned to Wangcheng in style, and then lived her own small life in the princess's mansion peacefully.
If the third princess just looks so simple on the outside, it would be a big mistake.
The third princess privately began to cultivate her own manpower.
As early as a month ago, the third princess knew about the embarrassment that Chen Zhongqiu and Zhao Canniang were facing.
The Chen family's business, all the storefronts were hit hard.
There are a lot of stores that are facing closure.
Hearing such news, the third princess decided to help Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu.
Just when Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu were about to act, rumors suddenly spread in the market.
In order to take revenge on the Chen family, the Ke family let the guys in their store go to the Chen family's store to make trouble.
And those guys who work there, what they do, where they live, are clear-sighted.
Zhao Canniang and Chen Zhongqiu were stunned, hearing the news, it was exactly the same as what they investigated, and there were some details that they didn't investigate.
The two had no idea what was going on.
Because they were about to do it, but they found out that someone had already advanced it, and it was not obvious that they were helping them. (To be continued......)
