Chapter 41: The New Xinyi Garden
Wang Xuannian, who was physically and mentally exhausted, quickly escaped from the cell.
No matter how the people behind him called him, he never responded, he wanted to go to Zhong Xuanlan.
Out of the prison, raised his hand to cover some dazzling sunlight, and after getting used to it for a while, he put down his hand to look for the figure, but he didn't see it, but her carriage was still there, and the person should be in the car.
Wang Xuannian walked into the carriage, saw the half-lying resting person, hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, approached, carefully stared at her sleeping face, his skin was like congealed fat, his face was like white jade, he unconsciously raised his hand to touch her face, but was jumped by her suddenly opened eyes, a bit like the feeling of being stared at by a wolf, as long as he moved, he would attack. At the same time, her wrist was pinched by her, frowning, looking at the wrist she pinched.
Zhong Xuanlan came back to his senses and dragged the person into his arms, Wang Xuannian wanted to exclaim, but gritted his teeth and held back.
Zhong Xuanlan lowered his head and glanced at Wang Xuannian, saw the handprint on his right face, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said unhappily: "Who hit it?" ”
Wang Xuannian lay on her body, looked up slightly and saw that she was displeased, didn't tell the truth, lowered his head, and said uncomfortably: "I, accidentally touched the prison door." ”
Zhong Xuanlan stretched out his right hand and touched his face vigorously, "Really? ”
Wang Xuannian couldn't see Zhong Xuanlan's expression, nor did he hear what Zhong Xuanlan meant, so he nodded.
Zhong Xuanlan was unhappy in his heart, and no matter how hard he moved his hands, Wang Xuannian felt that his face was very painful, and the hot pain hit him, making his eyes hazy with tears.
Zhong Xuanlan glanced at Wang Xuannian, withdrew his hand, and said lightly: "Take care of your injuries at home." Looking into the distance, the corners of her mouth were hooked, and she thought to herself: the people who hit her, then let them stay a little longer.
Wang Xuannian didn't know anything about this, and nodded obediently.
In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and Zhong Xuanlan has been busy with the affairs of the business house and the chamber of commerce these days, and he can't take care of the three people in the house at all.
However, Zhong Tinghao's father and son have been quite peaceful recently, Zhong Tinghao taught Wang Xuannian to play chess in the morning, Wang Xuannian studied seriously, and Zhong Xuanli made trouble on the side. In the afternoon, the three of them went to Xinyi Garden to repair the garden, and they were busy all day, and they couldn't remember going out to walk around.
At this time, in Xinyi Garden, the original house was replaced with new bamboo.
A new fence was put in the courtyard, the left side of the ground was renovated and planted with vegetable seedlings, and the right side was covered with bluestone slabs, vines, and shelves.
The bamboo house has a corridor made of bamboo.
There is a small peach tree engraved with the words "Wang Xuannian" in the backyard of the house.
The swing was replaced with a new one.
At this moment, several peach trees are hung with all kinds of small lanterns.
Zhong Xuanli tilted his head slightly and looked at the lantern on the tree, and said, "Brother-in-law, you are so powerful, this lantern is so beautiful, should we get another Kong Ming lantern?" ”
Wang Xuannian said slightly embarrassed: "I won't do it." ”
Zhong Xuan said nonchalantly: "Let the carpentry in the house be done later." ”
Wang Xuannian nodded.
Zhong Xuanli thought that Wang Xuannian and Zhong Xuanlan would not be able to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with them tomorrow, and admonished: "Brother-in-law, you enter the palace tomorrow, be more careful." ”
Zhong Tinghao said: "Son-in-law, or you will get sick." ”
Zhong Xuanli glared at Zhong Tinghao and said, "Dad, what did you say?" What a good disease. ”
Zhong Tinghao said angrily: "Pretending to be sick." ”
Wang Xuannian listened, frowned slightly, after so long, he was already sure that the family hated the royal family, even disgusted, and had a deep prejudice against the queen mother, it seemed that everything was related to the death of his mother-in-law, how did his mother-in-law die, Zhong Tinghao and his son kept silent, and the same was true of the people in the house. I thought: Lan'er, I will wait for the day you tell me, and I will accompany you, with all my courage to face the ups and downs outside, I only hope you can have me in your heart.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law." Zhong Xuanli saw that Wang Xuannian was distracted, and gently shook Wang Xuannian's arm.
Wang Xuannian came back to his senses and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhong Xuanli touched Wang Xuannian's head and said, "Don't be afraid, my sister won't let you be bullied in vain." ”
Zhong Tinghao has a black line, his son can't speak.
Wang Xuannian looked at Zhong Xuanli inexplicably.
Zhong Xuanli pulled the person to the stone bench and sat down, and said, "Some time ago, the Liu family asked the third princess to enter the palace to make a statement to the queen mother, didn't your family all be sentenced to exile?" My sister let the little prince enter the palace to accompany the emperor to play chess and gossip, and afterwards the third princess and the Liu family were reprimanded, and now the third princess is grounded at home and is not allowed to enter the palace again. The queen could have taken back the power of the harem from Concubine Li Guifei, because the third princess was grounded again. ”
This matter, in fact, Zhong Xuanlan knew from Wang Xuannian that his family had all been sentenced to exile, and understood that she was calculated again.
On that day, Zhong Xuanlan went to Prince Mu and asked him to enter the palace to see the emperor, accompany the emperor to play chess, and talk about things outside the palace by the way.
Prince Mu inadvertently mentioned the event that the Chamber of Commerce was about to hold, and also mentioned the exile of the Wang family, Zeng Fu Yin had already been sentenced, but somehow it was changed again, will it affect the reputation of the president of the Zhong Xuanlan Chamber of Commerce.
After the people left, Emperor Jing Xi thought for a while, and then ordered someone to investigate, Zhong Xuanlan is now his money bag, and the money handed over by the Chamber of Commerce in the past three years has twice as much as in previous years, he doesn't want anything to happen to his money bag.
After Emperor Jingxi heard about this matter, he thought about it for a while, and issued a holy decree to reprimand the Liu family for calculating the Wang family, buying the Zhuangzi and land given by the Queen Mother, and compensating the Zhong family with one million taels as compensation, and the third princess was forbidden to enter the palace and confined to the house, and the queen was also punished.
Emperor Jingxi considered that the Wang family was Zhong Xuanlan's husband's family and could not be punished too harshly, and the Zhong family was not a good match, so he sentenced the Wang family to be released after three months of detention. The father and son of the Lin family were stripped of their fame, banned from office for life, and released after three months of detention. The father and son of the mayor of Xiao Jiaxiao were sentenced to exile, the family property was confiscated, and the rest were released after three months of imprisonment.
After Wang Xuannian learned the truth, he looked ahead in a daze......
Zhong Tinghao's father and son didn't say anything, sitting there drinking tea and eating snacks.
The three of them are having a leisurely time here, but Zhong Xuanlan in the study is too busy.
There were two stacks of tall ledgers on both sides of the desk, Zhong Xuanlan sat in the middle of them, turning the page with his left hand, writing with a brush in his right hand, and said in his mouth: "Can the Li family cloth merchant negotiate?" ”
Zhong You said: "Boss Li is still hesitating. ”
Zhong Xuanlan put down the brush, raised his head slightly, his eyes were slightly cold, and said, "No need to talk about it anymore." ”
Zhong You said: "Yes." ”
Zhong Xuanlan lowered his head and continued to look at the account book, and asked, "Has the compensation of the Liu family arrived?" ”
Zhong You said: "When I arrived, I have donated 500,000 taels to Renshan Hall in the name of the old princess according to your instructions, and I have already used it to repair the Buddha statue in Huang'an Temple, and both things have been hyped up." ”
Zhong Xuanlan nodded, they are all fuel-efficient lamps, the Liu family has lost a lot this time, and the emperor wants to make the two families disagree and wants to divide the money, I, Zhong Xuanlan, will not suffer.
Zhong You said with a smile: "I heard that Liu Da Dang was angry and vomited blood. ”
Zhong Xuanlan said: "Are you very idle? ”
Zhong You hurriedly shook his head and said, "Not idle." That's where I left beforehand. ”
After speaking, Zhong You ran away, and just ran out of the door and almost collided with Xia Zhi, Xia Zhi said: "Daredevil." ”
Zhong You said: "A little money fan." With that, he left.
Xia Zhi stomped his feet and said, "Zhong You, you wait for me." After saying that, he walked to the door, and just wanted to knock on the door, he heard, "Come in." ”
Xia Zhi went in and saluted: "The big boss." ”
Zhong Xuanlan nodded.
Xia Zhi told the arrangement of the Chamber of Commerce's selection activities and the process of the event, and when Zhong Xuanlan responded, he said another thing and asked: "Big boss, I just received the Lu family's post, will the Lu family auction go the day after tomorrow?" ”
Zhong Xuanlan raised his eyes and asked, "Where is it?" ”
"In the South Side."
Zhong Xuanlan thought for a while and said, "Give the post to my father." ”
"Yes. The 18th is the selection of the top ten merchants of the Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that I will be busy for a while, do you want to check the shops in the east and west cities? ”
"Zhong You is quite idle, let him go."
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Yes." ”
Zhong Xuanlan asked without raising his head, "Is there anything else?" ”
Xia Zhi said: "I will leave first. With that, he left.
Zhong Xuanlan continued to be busy......
