Yao Zhuosu also gave up, Xi Fuwei frowned when she heard this, and quickly looked around!

It's just that the second floor is clear at a glance, and there is no place to hide.

Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, someone was about to come up, Xi Fuwei's heart was racing, pulled Yao Zhuosu, stuffed a few pieces of broken silver to her, and whispered: "Sister, I can't follow the pedestrian who came up, please help bring it back, and Lu Sha will follow you first!" ”

Without waiting for Yao Zhuosu to react and ask, she rushed to the window with an arrow step, opened the window and took a look, it was cold at this time, and it was near the end of the year, and there was no one in the narrow alley with the street at the bottom.

Xi Fuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned over neatly, and jumped straight down!

This scene made the three Yao Zhuosu and the woman who was watching the store startled, and they couldn't help but exclaim!

Fortunately, the woman was in business after all, and there were many people coming and going, although she didn't know why, she immediately ran over and closed the window, and made a silent gesture to Yao Zhuosu!

Xi Fuwei, who landed on the ground, was about to turn around and admonish, and she was relieved to see this situation. This small building was not very high, and when she jumped down, she borrowed strength from the courtyard wall next to it, so she landed very easily.

It's just that......

After tidying up her skirt and about to return to Zou Mansion first, a hand put on her shoulder without warning, followed by a creepy chuckle: "Should this be said to be a narrow road, or is you and I too fateful to take the initiative to send it to the door?" ”

Xi Fuwei took a deep breath: "Wen Xianyun? ”

"Hmm." Wen Xianyun responded lightly and said, "Don't look back, keep moving forward...... Let's talk about it alone? Or do I just yell out now and let Miss Xu come down and talk to you? ”

None of these two Xi Fuwei wanted to choose, so she said: "Lord Shen is on the next street, and he wants to tell the nobles from Ying Tianfu that there is something important for a while, so he temporarily sent me out to buy something." Later, I'll have to go back to my life. ”

She deliberately bit the word "reinstatement".

However, Wen Xianyun was unmoved: "Since I didn't go back until a while, I happened to meet Miss Xu in the middle, and I was invited by Miss Xu to have a meal and talk alone...... It doesn't seem to offend Lord Shen? ”

Xi Fuwei was silent for a moment and said, "What's ahead?" ”

Although Wen Xianyun is not a good thing, and may even be her enemy who killed her father and brother, compared to Xu Jingyuan, Xi Fuwei still wants to deal with him at present.

After all, an eldest lady like Xu Jingyuan can kill and set fire just by looking at her mood, and the identity of Dingguo's sister also makes her not afraid of Shen Zhaolan.

And Wen Xianyun at least didn't want to offend Jinyiwei too badly.

"Don't you know when you're over?" Wen Xianyun's voice was a little cold, "Or do you want to continue to stand here, and the people who stand until Miss Xu find that the situation is not right?" ”

Xi Fuwei bit her lip, opened her legs, and walked forward.

After walking to the place where there was about a shot, Wen Xianyun said: "The door on the left is hidden, go in." ”

"What is this place?" After entering, I found that it was a backyard with a small courtyard, and there was a grape rack in it, which had withered this season, and next to the grape trellis was a swing and a well, as well as a stone table and stone bench, and the stone table and stone bench were full of dead leaves and dust, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time.

Xi Fuwei glanced at the well, thought of hiding the corpse, was vigilant, and asked, "Is it the property you purchased in Jining?" ”

Wen Xianyun didn't answer this, but let go of the hand that had been pressing on her shoulder, walked out from behind her, and said with a gloomy face: "You don't even care about your father's and brother's funeral, and ran out of Dongchang Mansion directly, but after listening to Jinyiwei's words, you think that your father's brother's death was done by the Wen family?" ”

Xi Fuwei didn't expect him to say this first, his mind turned around, and he said: "The Xi family is just an ordinary squire in Dongchang Mansion, and because the days of migration are relatively shallow, they are a little out of place with the gentry in the township. At the beginning, your family took the initiative to come to the door, and they had to get married, just because they fancied my brother's future. So my brother's death should have nothing to do with the Wen family. ”

She groaned, and added, "Although I always thought that my brother's death was too coincidental, and his condition at the time did not look like he would die immediately. ”

"You're wrong." Wen Xianyun shook his head and said, "Your brother's death really has something to do with the Wen family!" But I only found out about it recently. ”

Xi Fuwei's pupils shrank suddenly, and then she looked at him for a moment.

"Do you know the situation of my Wen family?" Wen Xianyun looked at her and asked.

Without waiting for Xi Fuwei to answer, he immediately said, "You definitely don't know, after all, you have always been very tired of me, and when your brother was here before, you didn't bother to say more to me, let alone inquire about the details of the Wen family?" ”

Xi Fuwei didn't have the heart to tell him this at this time, so she only asked, "Why did the Wen family harm my brother?" ”

"You're now involved in the matter of opening the river." Wen Xianyun didn't go around in circles, and said bluntly, "This incident probably started here." ”

He said that the origin of the problem was to open the river, but after listening to it, Xi Fuwei felt that this was the problem of the Wen family itself:

The Wen family is similar to the Zou family, and their ancestors are developed by relying on the river.

After the congestion of the Huitong River, the Wen family has become a large family in Dongchang Mansion because of the climate, although it has declined.

It's just that because there is no money to pass through the river, the Wen family is very cautious in the matter of separating the family.

Earlier, because of the existence of the Wen family, it can be said that the day is in the gold and the night is in the silver, when the brothers are separated, even if they are not the eldest son, they will not be treated lightly, and even the concubine can easily sit on the Wanguan family property.

Huitong River is so blocked, although the Wen family still has a lot of accumulation on hand, but out of the consideration of precautions, it is also the family that has not produced the seeds of reading for several generations, worried about the decline of the family's reputation, since Wen Xianyun's grandfather's generation, it has been set that the eldest son of a single family property is passed on, and the other sons can only take so many hundred taels of silver to go out.

Compared with the treatment that the Wen family gave to their sons before, the sons other than the eldest son certainly felt unfair.

"The Wen family has always hoped that one day the waves of the river will be strong again." Wen Xianyun said expressionlessly, "So after the dynasty was settled, I also bought some industries in Yingtianfu, inquired about the movement of the court, and waited for the opportunity, or in other words, the opportunity to create a dredging canal." ”

However, during the reign of His Majesty Emperor Taizu, the dynasty was not peaceful at all, and it was a border trouble, the early death of the prince, and the slaughter of heroes...... When Emperor Jianwen came to power, all his attention was on cutting the domain.

Heel is a battle of appeasement.

Lao Zhu's family is fighting for life and death, and it's too late to fight in the same room, where is the kung fu to care about what will lead to the river?

This opportunity is heartbreaking.

The main branch of the Wen family is Wen Xianyun's vein, because he is the eldest son of the grandson, he inherited the entire family business, and he has no worries, so he gradually forgot about it.

It's the children of the side branches, because after the rules of the separation were changed, their situation almost plummeted.

There was no special competition among the descendants, and all the hopes fell on the Huitong River.

Then, they really waited: "An eyeliner in Yingtianfu is a servant of a powerful family." Two or three years ago, he happened to hear the owner over there complaining in private, saying that His Majesty intended to move the capital because the land of Longxing was in the north, and in order to facilitate the transportation after the relocation of the capital, and also to facilitate the use of troops in the north, he decided to dredge the entire canal. ”

When the side branch heard the news, they were overjoyed, but someone stood up and reminded them: "Although the river has not been blocked, the rule of the family is to divide the family property into several parts, and take two shares for the long house." However, the rules of these two generations have been changed, and the main branch occupies an absolute advantage, and we people have long been excluded and have no part to speak in the clan...... Even if the river will be reopened, will they still redivide the family business, or will they hand over those fat and oily errands to us?! ”

It is understandable that they have such concerns.

After all, when Wen Xianyun's grandfather decided to change the rules of separation, in addition to the eldest son, the heirs, including the backyard, and some elders, can be said to be boiling back!

Although in the end, at the insistence of Wen Xianyun's grandfather, the Wen family was divided according to his wishes, but the family's thoughts were scattered from then on, and the grievances were settled.

Even if they get the opportunity to revive the Wen family again, the main branch of the Wen family may not be willing to take the side branches to revitalize the family business.

What if the side branch becomes a climate, remembering the past hatred, and joining forces to deal with the main branch?

The side branch had such a worry, so he suppressed the matter and did not let the main branch know.

Xi Fuwei heard this with a gloomy face and asked, "What does this have to do with my father and brother?" Can't they take revenge on your main branch, so they will be angry with my father and brother? ”

Wen Xianyun said lightly: "After confirming His Majesty's insistence on moving the capital, I feel that the Huitong River must be opened. And now that the war in the north is still unsettled, His Majesty certainly does not want anything to go wrong with the excavation of the river. And if such a large project is to go smoothly, it is reasonable to hope that the wang clan along the river will take a hand! ”

And the Wen family of Dongchang Mansion must be the main force to help.

To be precise, it is the main branch of the Wen family, and it must be the main force to help...... After all, the specific errand of Kaihe can levy the people for conscription, but in the final analysis, expenses and the like depend on the generosity of large households.

The side branch was almost out of the house at the beginning, where can the family be compared with the main branch?

They are willing to participate in the opening of the river with their whole family, and their role is limited.

In other words, the river will be reopened, but the glory and wealth of these side branches may not come again.

The side branch then decided to try to get rid of the main branch. Wen Xianyun narrowed his eyes, "It's just that the main branch is extremely powerful in Dongchang Mansion, and it's not something they can fight against at all." ”

"They thought about it and decided to use it."

"For example, Dongchang Mansion has become famous in recent years...... Your brother Xi Fuxuan, my former classmate and brother-in-law! ”

"If you die in the hands of the head of the Wen family, how can you not be indignant about it?"

"By that time ......"

Wen Xianyun didn't continue, but looked at Xi Fuwei meaningfully.

Xi Fuwei's face was pale, and after a while, she said: "Since the side branch is almost out of the house, it can be seen that the power is very decaying. Although I dare not say that the family is so strict that it is difficult for a fly to enter and exit, but to say that they have the ability to reach out to my brother, I don't believe it! ”

She looked at Wen Xianyun, "Is it that my brother's old age is giving him and me the Xi family's grievances, and you and your backer can't hold it down, or is the main branch where you are not so heavy in the eyes of your backer, and is unwilling to help you?" So you're going to make up this kind of thing to coax me? ”

He sneered, "You think I look like such a fool? ”

Wen Xianyun looked at her expressionlessly, and after a while, he smiled strangely: "Weiwei, of course the Wen family's side branch doesn't have this ability." But...... Have you forgotten who reminded you to guard against me, a fiancé who is dedicated to you and the Xi family?! ”

"......" Xi Fuwei's expression changed suddenly!
