Chapter 604: Nanlin Goes North and Gathers the Golden Hairpin [II]
Xiaoyi Street, Xue's pawnshop.? With {dream} small ◢.1a
Knock knock knock~
Hearing someone knocking on the door, the shopkeeper Yue Baili hurriedly locked the account book on the table, along with the two letters, into the drawer, and then raised his voice and said, "Come in." ”
Squeak~
The wooden door was gently pushed open, and the shopkeeper He San bowed outside and reported: "Shopkeeper, the eldest lady is here, saying that she is looking for a few rare things to give away, and now she is picking them in the backyard warehouse." ”
It's almost dark, what is the eldest lady of the Xue family doing at this time?
Yue Baili frowned, got up and walked out of the inner hall with his hands upside down, groaned all the way to the door of the warehouse, listened for a while, and found that there was only a faint murmur of a girl inside, and he couldn't hear it really, so he walked in with a smile.
After entering the door, he saw Xue Baoqin wearing a green coat and a small hat, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that this little girl must have sneaked out again, not because she was instructed by her family.
So the smile on Yue Baili's face also became a little more real, and he reminded half-truthfully: "At this moment, Miss shouldn't be willful." ”
"What is this?"
Xue Baoqin glanced back at Yue Baili in surprise, and said curiously, "Has something happened recently?" ”
It turned out that this little girl didn't know that the family's business was in trouble.
Yue Baili's heart was even more relaxed, and he took the opportunity to divert the topic and said: "It's not a big deal, I don't know what rare things the eldest lady wants to find today?" ”
"Hmmm......"
Xue Baoqin gently poked his chin with his fingers, although he was dressed in men's clothes, his playful and serious little appearance was still beating wildly in the hearts of the two shopkeepers.
I heard her hesitantly mutter: "It's best if the martial artist likes it...... No, he doesn't seem to be a pure martial artist. ”
What do the warriors like?
Not a pure martial artist?
Yuan Baili's heart moved, and secretly said Could it be that Xue Zhen touched a nail in the morning, and still refused to give up, so he wanted to please Wang Ren with a rare gift?
But even if you want to give a gift, it shouldn't be the eldest lady who chooses it, right?
He couldn't help but say tentatively: "But I don't know who this gift is for the eldest lady?" ”
This sentence suddenly provoked Xue Baoqin's words, only to see her nose cocked high, and she was like a storyteller: "Speaking of this, he is a world-famous strange person, it is said that he was born with a bloody eye and is good at judging yin and yang cases; There is also a world-beating bravery, a single sword can defeat thousands of troops! ”
Hearing this, one of the guys couldn't help but blurt out: "Could it be General Sun of that sword Dinghu Guang?" ”..
"Yes!"
Xue Baoqin slammed his little head a little, and then said proudly: "Because my uncle's brother has a good relationship with General Sun, my brother went to the dock to meet him today, who knew that he was familiar with General Sun at first sight, and he was ready to pull him into our shop!" ”
These words are three points true and seven points false, but she said them in a show-off tone, but people can't help but believe it.
Yue Baili secretly pondered in his heart, Xue Zhen did this, probably to bring in strong reinforcements - it's just that although Sun Shaozong is famous all over the world at a young age, he really has to compare with which family, but I'm afraid he still owes a lot of heat.
Just thinking like this, I heard Xue Baoqin say with a little doubt: "I also heard my brother say that General Sun is going to be promoted to the envoy of the pacification, but I don't know what kind of official position this is?" Why did Wang Yanei take the initiative to go to the dock to meet him? ”
Pacifier?
Could it be the pacification envoy who is in charge of the North Town Fu Division?!
Yue Baili chuckled in his heart, and secretly said that if this is the case, this matter should not be underestimated-but anyone who is an official, who is not afraid of Beizhen Fusi?
It seems that we must deliver a message to Suzhou, so as not to ......
was thinking about countermeasures, and suddenly saw Xue Baoqin blinking his big eyes again, full of longing: "If General Sun really buys in our shop, and wants to do something bad from his brother in the future, it will not be so easy - as long as General Sun is invited to argue, there is naturally nothing to hide whether he is loyal or treacherous!" ”
Yue Baili was another pick, and he only cared about the name of Beizhen Fusi, but he forgot that Lord Sun's ability to solve the case and enter the gods.
If Xue Zhen sensed that there was a problem and invited him to help investigate thoroughly, wouldn't he be ......
No, it seems that the plan has to be pushed back a little further, at least until Suzhou solves this big trouble first!
With such a heavy heart, he picked out two treasures among the dead objects, escorted Xue Baoqin into the carriage, and Yue Baili hurriedly returned to the inner hall, turned out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
said that Xue Baoqin arrived in the car, and as soon as he put down the curtain, his little face suddenly collapsed, buried his delicate body in the soft cushion, and muttered like a disease-free moan: "I don't know if this method can stabilize the Zhen family." ”
But it turned out that it was the Jiangnan Zhen family who was entangled in business with the Xue family.
This Zhen family is also a world friend of the Rongguo Mansion and the Wang family, and it is even stronger than Xue Zhen's mother and son in terms of kinship, and it is more than ten times more powerful in terms of power.
Comparing the two sides, it is no wonder that Wang Ren deliberately neglected Xue Zhen.
"Ahh
At this moment, I suddenly heard a woman outside the carriage exclaim, followed by the coachman's scolding: "You woman doesn't have long eyes? How do you hit the horse's hooves hard! ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's just that I didn't see it clearly! ”
The scolded woman confessed repeatedly, but a pleasant voice sounded on the side: "Although my mother is at fault, I am afraid that in this weather, I should be slower." ”
"You little girl......
"Rifle!"
Hearing that his own driver was still entangled, Xue Baochai raised the curtain of the car and shouted: "What people say also makes sense, this kind of weather should have slowed down in the city." ”
As he spoke, he bowed his head slightly to the other side: "Madame, where has you been hurt?" Not far in front of the medical hall, I'll send you ......"
"No need, no need!"
The woman hurriedly shook her hand a few times, and then hurried across the street with a small package.
But her daughter returned the salute generously, and then followed unhurriedly.
"This sister is really a good color."
Xue Baoqin watched the other party go away, praised it in his mouth, and added another sentence in his heart: It is only slightly inferior to this girl.
Not to mention how Xue Baoqin returned by car.
said that the mother and daughter arrived across the street, and when they turned around and saw that the carriage had run away, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help complaining: "If it weren't for your father's death to save face, how could we have this experience?" Thanks to my dexterity in my legs, I would have almost ......."
"Mother!"
The girl stopped the unlucky one, and persuaded softly: "Dad is also worried that he will be looked down upon by the Wang family, and it will add a lot of inconvenience on the way to Beijing, so he won't let us pawn it nearby-if he can know in advance that there is such a danger, he must not let his mother bring something over." ”
The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, and it had a refreshing warmth, and it relieved her mother's annoyance in just a few words.
It's just that the woman was angry, but she was worried again, and said with a wry smile: "What if you enter Beijing? Your aunt has been married to the eldest master of Rongguo Mansion for 20 years, how can she ever take care of our family? ”
But it turned out that the mother and daughter were none other than Mrs. Xing's sister-in-law and niece Xing Xiuyan.
Their mother and daughter originally followed Mrs. Xing's brother Xing Zhong to run some small businesses in Suzhou City.
Who knew that the family's situation had deteriorated in the past few years, and now they can't even afford to rent a house, so they have no choice but to move their family north to join their relatives.
It was also a coincidence, it happened that Wang Ren was passing by Suzhou, and the officials from all over the house went to greet him, and Xing Zhong also climbed up to his relatives and wanted to take a ride on a smooth boat to Beijing.
Who knows that the Sichuan road fee is left, but the cost of filling the scene has increased by an unknown amount.
In just a few days, most of the Xing family's entanglement was used, and Xing Zhong refused to show his cowardice in front of the Wang family, so he had to secretly let his wife and daughter take a few things and find a pawnshop to sell them from afar.
Without further ado.
said that Xing Xiuyan's mother and daughter took advantage of the night to enter the Wang family's old house through the back door, but they looked for it inside and out, but they didn't see Xing Zhong's shadow.
When the servant woman on duty inquired, she found out what General Sun was here, and because she also had some relatives with the Xing family, she invited Uncle Xing to accompany her.
"General Sun?"
Xing Zhong's wife didn't feel anything when she heard this, but Xing Xiuyan's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help asking: "But Sun Shaozong and General Sun, who just pacified the chaos in Huguang?!" ”
After getting the servant's affirmative answer, Xing Xiuyan was a little restless, and looked at the front hall from time to time, her eyes full of longing.
Seeing that she had lost her usual steadyness, Xing's mother hurriedly persuaded her daughter even if she had some misunderstandings: "What does General Sun and General Li care about, since he is a distinguished guest in the Wang Ya, he must not be something that our family can cling to - you have always been a sensible person, but don't think about it!" ”
"Mother, where did you think of it!"
Xing Xiuyan stomped her foot shyly, and saw that her mother was still a little suspicious, so she had to confide in the truth: "Actually, this General Sun is the Lord Sun of Shuntian Mansion who Sister Miaoyu often mentioned in her letters before. ”
"You know, I always think that Sister Miaoyu shouldn't entrust her life to the Buddha indiscriminately - and Sister Miaoyu has always been very strong-minded, but in recent years, I have repeatedly mentioned this Lord Sun, I think it must be fate!"
"Because of this relationship, my daughter wants to see with her own eyes what Lord Sun looks like, and whether she is a good match for Sister Miao Yue."
But it turned out that the courtyard that Xing Zhong had rented in Suzhou for many years was the property of Miaoyu's family, and it happened to be near the nunnery where Miaoyu practiced.
So Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu have been neighbors for ten years, and the words they recognize are all instructed by Miaoyu, which is really a friendship between teachers and friends, so when they heard that the person Miaoyu was thinking about had arrived, they could no longer be calm.
And listening to what her daughter said was reasonable, Xing's mother suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and persuaded with a smile: "If the two of them really have fate, you will definitely be able to see it in the future, why bother?" Besides, big families pay the most attention to the difference between inside and outside, so how can they ......?"
As soon as I said this, I heard a frying outside the yard shouting:
"It's amazing, then General Sun wants to ask the case in our family!"
"Is it General Sun who has bloody eyes? Is he judging people or ghosts this time? ”
"Naturally, you are judging people, and you have to dare to see ghosts!"
"Let's take a walk, let's go and see the rarity!"
When Xing Xiuyan heard this, she couldn't hold it anymore, and hurriedly told her mother that she wanted to go to the front to see if her father had been drunk, so she mixed in with those servants.
