Chapter 855: The Ransom of White Flowers (Fourth Update)
Tang Yin was secretly frightened, I only figured out such a complete plan of yours after listening to you, and this plan is just a strategy in your opinion, you still want to use the silver from selling salt as a military one?
Tang Yin asked: "Shen Zhongcheng said before that he would not be corrupt and accept bribes in this matter, so how can he have extra money?" ”
Shen Xi smiled and said nothing, as if to say that the mountain people have their own clever plans, and there is nothing to say now. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Now Tang Yin was even more depressed.
At the critical time of the attack, he fled for his life first, fell into an unrighteous name, lost to Shen Xi in strategy, and now found that he could not gain Shen Xi's trust...... He was even starting to doubt his own life!
I am the first genius in the south of the Yangtze River, even if I fall behind others in learning, am I inferior to people everywhere?
Now he wanted to know more and more about what tricks Shen Xi would play when he sold the salt lead, and in the case of the bad relationship with the political envoy Si Yamen, he felt that Shen Xi had no chance to turn the salt into silver.
Shen Xi looked at Tang Yin's dejected back and shook his head secretly: "It's a pity that a generation of talented people has never been able to get out of the limitations of the times, how to cultivate it in order to make him shine?" ”
All day long, the city was boiling to spread what happened last night, there was not much to talk about after tea and dinner in the past few years, and the Jiaofang Division, which belonged to the unattainable of civilian men in the city, was actually seized by the government, or the new young governor personally came to the door to get people, and the things were said with such a touch of legend.
At this time, Shen Xi, the initiator, was taking care of his crops in the backyard of the official post.
During this time, the weather was sunny, the autumn tiger was menacing, and the daily temperature was above 30 degrees, so after only a few days of planting, the corn and sweet potatoes had already sprouted, which was a phased achievement in Shen Xi's opinion.
There is no fertilizer, and Shen Xi doesn't want to use the most primitive method, after all, the backyard is a place for female dependents to live, and it can't be too dirty, so he asked Zhu Shan and Xiu'er to go to the pond and dig out some silt back, there are a lot of nutrients in the silt, plus the backyard is a ripe field for planting flowers and plants, and the requirements for the growth environment of corn and sweet potatoes are not very high, he believes that these fertilizers are enough.
Just when Shen Xi, a one-armed hero, was busy working in the field alone, Zhu Shan walked to the edge of the field and greeted: "Master, my father asked you to go out and have a look, saying that someone brought several large boxes of money over and wanted to ransom people." ”
Shen Xi didn't raise his head: "Tell the visitor, no matter how much silver, don't want to redeem people, this breath in my heart has not disappeared." ”
Zhu Shan was a little anxious: "No, master, that person has followed us all the way, it seems to be ...... The lord called her a jade master......"
Shen Xi was originally squatting between the ridges of the field, carefully checking the growth of the seedlings, and couldn't help but look up at Zhu Shan when he heard the words. Others may gossip, but this stupid girl doesn't have the brain to lie.
That is to say...... Yu Niang came to Guangzhou Mansion?
"It seems that I guessed correctly, Yu Niang really has another errand to do."
Shen Xi stood up, walked out of the field, came to the ancient well and prepared to wash his hands, when he leaned down, he found that one hand was very inconvenient, and at this time Dai'er and they were all in the room, he didn't want to call someone just to wash his hands, it would seem that he was very useless.
Zhu Shan volunteered: "Master, I'll help you wash." After speaking, he stretched out a pair of hands, grabbed Shen Xi's hand, and then stuffed it into a wooden basin full of well water. Zhu Shan didn't have the concept of whether men and women were intimate or not, and felt that it was natural to help Shen Xi wash his hands.
Shen Xi hurriedly said: "Hey, you are light, my hand is not a stone pier, what are you doing so hard...... Say it lightly, you will pay for it? ”
Zhu Shan was happy to wash his hands for Shen Xi, but Shen Xi counted two sentences, and his expression immediately became lonely.
She doesn't mind people calling her stupid because she knows she's stupid in the first place, and she hates it when people call her rude.
She has been in the Shen family for four years, and when she first came, she was still a fourteen-year-old silly girl, but now that she has become an eighteen-year-old silly eldest sister, she no longer understands anything, at least at this time she is already thinking about her future.
More than one person told her that it doesn't matter if a woman is stupid, what the husband's family doesn't mind is that you are stupid, and that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented; You have a lot of strength, and your husband's family can't ask for a lot of manual work, and your ass is good to give birth to...... Hearing these words, Zhu Shan simply thought that he could be a good wife and mother.
But immediately a basin of cold water was poured on her head.
The most taboo thing in the husband's family is that women are rude, do things without measure, can't settle accounts, can't run a house, and gets lost when they go out...... In the end, Zhu Shan realized that he was still a girl in the Shen family, she didn't worry about food and clothing, she had money to save to buy delicious food, and her father would buy her chicken legs and snacks on weekdays, she would sleep when she was sleepy at night, and eat when she was hungry during the day, there was nothing better than staying in the Shen family.
Now Shen Xi's number has really hurt the girl's self-esteem.
"Wash ...... After washing, if the lord thinks it is not clean, find a few ladies to wash it again, and I will go out to work first. Zhu Shan picked up the basin and splashed the stolen water, and went out of the backyard door sullenly.
Only then did Shen Xi find out that the careless Zhu Shan didn't find a cloth for him to wipe his hands, and was about to wipe it on his body, Xie Yun'er came over and handed over the handkerchief he was carrying, and complained: "It's so painful to be fair, why don't you know how to cherish the sister of the Zhu family?" ”
“…… Who? ”
Shen Xi rubbed one hand on the handkerchief, didn't react for a while, and looked at Xie Yun'er.
Xie Yun'er said angrily: "Xianggong, Xiaoshan is not young, he is not married at the age of eighteen, and Xiaoyu will get married in a few days, can Xiaoshan be careless?" At this time, you just poke at other girls' sad things, don't you know that Xiaoshan hates others to say that she is rude? ”
Shen Xi always treats Zhu Shan as a boy...... Of course, this boy was too delicate, and he didn't realize that Zhu Shan was actually a girl who would think about spring when she grew up.
"The question ......"
Shen Xi shook his head and smiled, and said helplessly, "In the past, I wanted to marry her to the young master of the Wang family, but now that the young master of the Wang family is in Beiguan, it is estimated that it will take a year or two to return to Beijing." Why don't you ask the hill what it means? ”
Xie Yun'er shook her head and said: "Xianggong doesn't seem to understand Xiaoshan's intentions, the concubine asked her before, and she said that although she didn't expect to find someone who had the same talent as Xianggong, she wouldn't find a brainless reckless man, otherwise she would be stupid and go together......"
One sentence left Shen Xi speechless.
No, Zhu Shan is already lacking in heart, and then marrying her to Wang Lingzhi, who is also lacking in heart, seems to be a good match, but they have the same strengths and weaknesses as each other, and they can't complement each other at all.
It's an unsolvable question!
In these years, the boy who has learned a little bit, and the lover in his dream is a lady like Xie Yun'er, who wants to find a strong stupid sister to go back to be his wife?
Shen Xi said with a smile: "For the husband is so good, there is only one in the world, and you can take advantage of Yun'er...... If Xiaoshan doesn't change his mind, he will be an old girl for the rest of his life. ”
Being pushed by Xie Yun'er complainingly, Shen Xi smiled and went to the front yard, his smile slowly fading...... When you meet Yu Niang, you must not take it lightly, and it is the best choice to put on a straight face and pretend to be serious.
……
……
When I arrived at the front hall, I saw Yu Niang dressed in men's clothes, sitting there heroically, and behind her stood Yun Liu and Xi'er, who were also dressed in men's clothes.
There are a few laborers in the yard who carry flat burdens, and there are a few boxes beside them, which should be the ransom brought by Yu Niang.
Seeing Shen Xi coming in, Yu Niang got up and hugged her fists and saluted, and Shen Xi waved her hand to signal that there was no need to be polite. Waiting for Shen Xi to sit down, Yu Niang didn't dare to sit down, and stood there respectfully.
Shen Xi smiled slightly and asked, "Being able to see the Jade Master again in Guangzhou City really makes this official feel like he has met his old acquaintance in a foreign country." Which ministry did the Jade Master bring with him the instructions of the Ministry when he returned to Beijing, and came back to the official to convey instructions? ”
Yu Niang heard that there was some dislike between Shen Xi's words, and quickly explained: "Lord Shen smiled, it was not more than a month before and after, how could I have time to go back and forth to the capital?" I came here today, but I just wanted to ask Lord Shen to sell face......" Speaking of this, Yu Niang looked at Shen Xi with a begging gaze.
Shen Xi squinted at Yu Niang, and went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, it is estimated that Yu Niang has been in Guangzhou Mansion for a long time, but after he took people in the Jiaofang last night, Yu Niang had to show up and ask to see him. He said: "The jade master is not an outsider, please tell me, what do you want?" ”
Yu Niang said: "Please raise your noble hand and let go of Su Xiu and his subordinates, who are the head of the Guangzhou Teaching Workshop." ”
The secret agent of the factory guard from the Teaching Workshop Division, who came to redeem the upper and lower people of another Teaching Workshop Division today, seems reasonable, maybe this Jade Niang and Su Xiu are "old friends"?
Since the factory guard has set up secret agents in the Tingzhou Mansion Teaching Workshop Division, it is reasonable that there are also secret agents in the Guangzhou Mansion Teaching Workshop Division, and Yu Niang and Su Xiu are not only colleagues in the Teaching Workshop Division, but even colleagues in the factory guard.
Shen Xi said: "Yu Dangjia, it's not that I don't give you face, the official was beaten last night, the evidence of this matter is conclusive, and now the official's injury is still here, does the Jade Boss need to have his injuries examined?" ”
Yu Niang immediately shook her head and said no.
"Since the evidence of the Guangzhou Prefecture Teaching Division beating the imperial court official is conclusive, let the official release him like this, how will the official serve the public in the future? Alas, this official is really in a dilemma! Shen Xi sighed.
Yu Niang smiled: "So I specially prepared some things for Lord Shen that you can use, but I don't know if Lord Shen thinks he can make up for it?" ”
Shen Xi looked at the box outside and asked, "Is that all?" ”
Yu Niang glanced at Yun Liu, Yun Liu immediately went out, asked Lifu to carry the box in, opened it and looked, the upper layer was silk cloth, Shen Xi fiddled with it slightly, and found that the lower layer was all good snowflake silver ingots, and several boxes added up to several thousand taels.
Yu Niang asked, "But I don't know if these can make Lord Shen extinguish the fire?" ”
Shen Xi said: "The jade master is a big hand. The official wanted to ask, why did the Jade Master want to redeem the people of the Teaching Workshop Division? If it's for the old love, I'm afraid the jade family won't show up, right? ”
It is clear that Yu Niang has already arrived in Guangzhou Mansion and has been acting incognito and secretly. Shen Xi caught someone, and she immediately showed up, explaining that Su Xiu and the others were related to the errand that Yu Niang was going to do.
Yu Niang's face was full of embarrassment: "Lord Shen, it's not that you refuse to tell me, it's really a matter of great importance." Lord Shen, please rest assured that the errands on your shoulders will never affect what you have to do in Guangzhou Mansion...... Please be accommodating! ”
"The jade master is so sincere, this official can't sell face if he wants to, come on, release the sinner Su Xiu and others, and let them return to the sect."
After Shen Xi finished speaking, he looked at the relieved Yu Niang again, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
