Shiyuan, quietly.
Qinghua carefully lifted the curtain, and Xianyun stepped into the house with light feet.
Swept over at a glance, the three rooms were all there, the atmosphere was dull, each with their own thoughts, Xian Yun knew that the old lady was too much and didn't notice her, but she still blessed, and stood behind the Quan family in small steps, side by side with Xianyu.
Seeing that his daughter was coming, Quan reached out and touched Xianyun's hand, and cast a peaceful look at Xianyun and Xianyu.
Xianyun and Xianyu nodded knowingly, it seems that today is a big event.
Mrs. Ge took a sip of tea, looked around, felt that the people were almost the same, and said: "The Ge family has gone through this catastrophe, it is no longer the past, the current mansion can no longer support it, and a relatively small garden has been selected by the poor, everyone will go back to clean up and move over in a few days." ”
As soon as these words came out, no one was surprised, it seemed that she had expected that Old Lady Ge would see everyone's expressions in her eyes.
Then he said: "The third daughter-in-law's illness has also been cured, the second daughter-in-law is still grounded, and the eldest daughter-in-law has done a lot of things lately, so the third daughter-in-law will be in charge for the time being." ”
Suddenly, everyone's faces changed, and the Xia family was surprised, and secretly rejoiced, the Ge family may not have much money in the public school now, even if they change their mansions, it is not easy to maintain the Ge family's decent life.
Li has a lot of resentment in her heart, after so many years, she finally got the opportunity to be in charge of the family, and her hands are gone before she can cover the heat, and she attributes all this to the third room, and the other people in the third room hate it, how can it be so easy to be in charge.
After the miscarriage, Quan's mind is not in the back house, but the harmony of the family, dignified and modest, and excused: "Mother, the daughter-in-law has been unwell since she came back, and most of them will be weak at that time, and they have not been contacted, many do not understand, the Ge family has such a big family business, the daughter-in-law really can't afford it, the sister-in-law has been in charge of the family for many years, and the second sister-in-law has also started, and the management should be more handy, thank you for your mother's love." "It's a blessing to say, and the attitude is extremely respectful.
After saying something, Mrs. Ge was speechless, her daughter-in-law was not in good health, so she couldn't insist on letting her work hard, and she couldn't tell what to say, so she waved her hand in a soothing tone: "Since this is the case, the eldest daughter-in-law will be in charge of the house for the time being, and the third daughter-in-law will study together." ”
There was no mention of the Li family, it seems that Mrs. Ge was really angry this time, the faces of everyone in the second room changed greatly, and they were unwilling, knowing that Mrs. Ge had always been very stubborn, so she had to accept it by default and wait for the opportunity.
When he was in Beijing, the Quan family was able to take care of the family business, and the Ge family would be competent, and now the Ge family is changeable, in the eyes of a large family, the third room is an outsider, and the obstacle is big when locked up, the Quan family does not want to wade into this troubled water, Mrs. Ge is relieved, she just needs to sit and sit, it's good, I believe that the Xia family is not very willing for others to interfere too much in her work, thinking of this, the Quan family is humble and blessed, and sees the old lady Ge go back to the inner room to rest.
Xia originally had a schadenfreude mentality, but she didn't expect that in the end it was her trick, the color was uncertain, she bent down and saluted, lowered her eyes and quickly turned her thoughts, thinking about what benefits this errand would have for her, whether she could benefit from it, and she was still happy to see Li Shi deflated.
In the next few days, the Ge family moved one after another, from the old lady Ge to the rough mother-in-law, they were all too busy to be idle, and the originally quiet Ge family suddenly became in a commotion.
At this time, the mansions of the Sun and Xia families were quiet, and there was a mysterious atmosphere in the night, like the quiet atmosphere of a storm.
"Are you sure about that?" Sun Zhiyuan, the eldest man of the Sun family, leaned forward and asked in a low voice.
"It's true, the letter from above said, this time it is really ruthless, Ge Tianxing may have taken a secret mission on this trip, judging from the current situation, Zhizhou is so cooperative, either it is a gang, or it is a secret decree above, in short, no matter what the situation is, it is not good for us." The second master of the Xia family, Xia Yuefeng looked melancholy, and looked around as he spoke, for fear that the wall would have ears.
The eldest lord of the Xia family won the official last month and has gone to Beijing to take office, and what the second lord of Xia said refers to the eldest lord of Xia, and also refers to the imperial court in the capital. It is related to the family, and Lord Xia will not say it without a certain certainty, so Second Master Xia believes it very much, and his mood naturally becomes unhappy.
The eldest lord of the Sun family has dealt with all kinds of people, the two families of Sun and Xia have been in Wuzhou for so many years, no matter how competitive the business is, behind the scenes, the two heads of the two families understand that the two families are in a relationship of mutual survival, but they do not trust each other, the second master of the Xia family said and looked at the windows and doors from time to time, and the eldest master Sun did not break it, and continued to talk: "That is the case, we can't be blindly passive, this time they have already moved, naturally there is a back-up move, we must come up with a charter, so as not to catch us off guard when the time comes." ”
The study of the Sun family is located in the middle of the Sun Mansion to the north, built on the water of a small lake, which is where he usually handles official business, and he is very sure of the safety, and his voice can't help but increase a few points.
Second Master Xia observed the details and understood the purpose of Sun Zhiyuan's move, so he immediately smiled apologetically: "What Brother Sun said is very true, so what should we do now?" They are the officials of the imperial court, how can we fight as grass people? ”
The two met today, and everyone knew what was going on, and after a moment of silence, he said: "They are officials, then let the above subdue them, we just need to promote the situation." ”
Second Master Xia smiled and nodded, Sun Zhiyuan's words obviously made him feel reassured, I believe that this house must be safe, the Sun family's trip is sincere, and he answered: "Look at Brother Sun's proposal to sell you several medicinal material channels in the south a few days ago, does it have anything to do with this matter?" "Second Master Xia is not as smart as Master Xia, business relies on sincerity and prudence, he only started to engage in business five years ago, and gave up the idea of studying to gain fame, in fact, he is a little contemptuous of businessmen in his heart, and his head is running, and he is not as flexible as Sun Zhiyuan.
The candle glowed yellow, reflecting on Sun Zhiyuan's face, revealing a trace of mystery.
The corners of Sun Zhiyuan's mouth rose, and he said proudly: "Naturally, although this thing was not specially done for this, it is now being used greatly." I couldn't help but praise her daughter, Sun Yiqing, after all, she made this suggestion.
The vague statement, Second Master Xia was confused, and his eyes motioned for Sun Zhiyuan to continue to explain.
Sun Zhiyuan took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said: "This matter needs to be done carefully, medicinal materials are naturally used to treat diseases, I heard that there was a plague in Tongzhou not far away, and now the city has been closed, even if I have the heart to sell medicinal materials to make money, I don't have that connection, and now Wuzhou is a place we are all familiar with." ”
Second Master Xia pretended to be calm, his heart was turbulent, his teeth were clenched, his cheeks were sore, and after thinking for a few moments, he suddenly realized, his eyes were mixed with melancholy and joy: "Brother Sun has a good plan." ”
After sealing the city, even the court officials will not be able to resist the rebellion of the people, and they can not only get out but also earn a lot of money, killing two birds with one stone.
Sun Zhiyuan had anticipated the reaction of Second Master Xia early, and was very satisfied after seeing it, and took several sips of water, feeling that today's tea was sweeter than before, and the unpleasant things that happened these days seemed to be diluted.
"There is really nothing more helpless than a natural disaster, but it has only suffered the people of Wuzhou." After all, Second Master Xia is a scholar, not a serious businessman, and he couldn't help but sigh with pity.
Sun Zhiyuan disdained these fake compassions of the literati in his heart, still kept a smile on his face, and persuaded: "What Brother Xia said is very true, but there is no better way than this at the moment, think about it There are many people in our two families, as the head of the family, we have a great responsibility, not for ourselves, but also for our children and grandchildren." ”
Family affection is the easiest to move people, and this time the second master Xia said that his heart was gone, and the worries just now disappeared.
The eldest master of the Xia family became an official, the second master of Xia can go directly to the defection, the Sun family wants to survive in Beijing, and they also need the help of the Xia family, Sun Zhiyuan weighed it, put down his face, and earnestly discussed the details of the plan with the second master Xia, the second master of Xia's pity was lost in an instant, and listened with great interest, but his eyebrows were frowning, and he was slightly worried.
