Chapter 488: Vigilance
After a few days of relief, Huang Jiaying's mood has eased; He Jianye is also very tired these days, and he has to fulfill his responsibilities; Xiao Yi can't be too sad and tired, so basically he insists on the vigil every night;
"Second master, this is what Steward Lin asked me to send over;" Zeng Da sent a note to He Jianye,
"Didn't you let him take care of it all? What's going on? He Jianye frowned and asked,
"Steward Lin said that this is a special situation, please make a decision for the second master! Here's all the information and stuff! Zeng Da said,
"What's the situation with this Lin Er? Just such a little trading volume, so you can send it to me? What are the requirements? Could there really be another reason? After reading the information sent, He Jianye thought,
"Okay, I see; I'll go upstairs to see Xiaoyi. He Jianye said,
"Second master, I'll wait for you at the gate of the courtyard; Just say hello to anything! Zeng Da said,
Huang Jiaying had just fallen asleep and knelt in the mourning hall for three hours; As soon as he touched the bed, he frowned and fell asleep; He Jianye looked at Xiao Yi lying on the bed, with a pale face, a frowning brow, and a thin body......
"Hey!" He Jianye didn't wake up Xiaoyi, tucked the quilt for her, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the poor girl;
Maybe it was sadness that woke up easily, He Jianye sat on the edge of the bed for less than twenty minutes, and Xiaoyi, who was lying down, opened her eyes;
"What time is it? Did I sleep for a long time? Xiaoyi asked,
"You've just slept for less than half an hour, and you'll sleep again; Is there someone staring at the mourning hall? Don't break your body; He Jianye said,
"Oh, what's the matter?" Huang Jiaying asked in surprise, according to reason, He Jianye should be ready to eat and rest at this time, and then continue to keep vigil at night;
"Oh, nothing; You go back to sleep! It's okay! He Jianye hurriedly said,
"I don't know you yet, it's okay that you're going to be here at this time? Say it! If you don't say it, I won't be able to sleep; Xiaoyi frowned and asked,
"It's a businessman named Xia Huaqi, he said that when you passed by the camphor tree...... "He Jianye told the news from Lin Laoer;
"Camphor Town? Master Xia? Why am I not impressed at all? Xiao Yi frowned and thought,
"I don't want to, I'll deal with it; It's okay, you have a good rest! He Jianye said,
"No, I remember very well how we fled; No one gave us a bite to eat in Zhangshu, otherwise we would have taken the Ganyue Road back to Guangdong; I won't come to Qingjiang to make a living; Huang Jiaying said,
"Then what does this Xia Huaqi mean? And you didn't ask for it, you just want to see the two of us? "He Jianye is a little confused, logically speaking, it is impossible for the He family not to agree to a small request at this time!
"Husband, why don't we go and meet? After all, I came to mourn my grandfather; Huang Jiaying struggled to get up,
"Alright, you have a good rest; I'll just go, I'll give him more benefits. He Jianye pressed Huang Jiaying on the bed, covered the quilt, and kissed Huang Jiaying's forehead; smiled and slowly went out;
"Bring the man to the living room, and I'll be there at once;" When he came to the courtyard, He Jianye commanded Zeng Da,
"Yes, I'll go;" Zeng Da said,
He Jianye saw the eldest brother in the living room, and the two brothers talked; He Fuchu went to the back house, and he still had to visit his mother; As for this little businessman, the second child can deal with it as much as he likes, as long as he can come out of his grief as soon as possible; It's nothing to spend more money, and my mother's health is not very good these days, and she may have received the blow of Huang Lao's death;
"Second master, people are here;" Zeng Da reported,
"Let him in! Serve tea! He Jianye said,
Xia Huaqi, who came in, was dressed as a typical landlord and old wealth, maybe because he didn't sleep well last night, and his eyes were a little red;
"Why does this Xia Huaqi look so sad? Does it really have anything to do with Huang Lao? He Jianye muttered in his heart,
"Commander He, the contemptible people came here this time to worship Huang Lao; I regretted saying goodbye in a hurry back then; Not being able to give more support makes me feel guilty now. Xia Huaqi said,
"Well, Master Xia has a heart; The inner person is sick and inconvenient; If there's anything you want to forward, you can give it to me; Master Xia rest assured, the He family will definitely not lose his benefactor; He Jianye said,
"Commander He, don't dare to ask for anything in return; came in a hurry this time, waiting for Huang Lao to hold a burial ceremony; The contemptible people must come to participate, and present things in front of Huang Lao; I just don't know when Huang Lao will be buried? Xia Huaqi asked,
"The date was set in three days, on the fourth of January;" He Jianye frowned and said,
"Then Commander Ho's condolences! The contemptible people say goodbye, and when Huang Lao is buried, the contemptible people must come to worship in person and present gifts! Xia Huaqi said,
He Jianye has been a little tired these days, and he finally met such a person who sincerely mourns Huang Lao, and he can't help but be really happy!
"Master Xia, please slow down, if you don't dislike the He family; You can rest in the guest room, and if you have time tomorrow, you will set up a banquet to entertain Master Xia; He Jianye saw Xia Huaqi stand up, and he had the intention of leaving, and immediately said,
"Commander He, tomorrow is the New Year; is not talented, but still wants to spend time with his family; Please forgive me! Xia Huaqi bent down and said,
"Oh, I was abrupt! Master Xia, please feel free! He Jianye said,
Xia Huaqi has completed his mission, of course he wants to go back as soon as possible; As for action, that's a matter for the Japanese; He didn't bother to care?
"Commander, something is wrong with this Xia Huaqi; The subordinate he brought with him was simply a soldier; And he's a very good veteran; I'm afraid it's better than most of my brethren in the guard company! Zeng Da reported in He Jianye's small courtyard,
"Huh? Are you mistaken, how can an ordinary landlord have such a good subordinate? He Jianye asked,
"There's no mistake, this guy isn't tall, the same height as most devils, but he's very strong; Although the clothes are the clothes of the subordinates, the breath he exudes when he walks can't be hidden! And this person is constantly observing the surrounding situation, and he looks like a veteran! Zeng Da reported,
"I'm afraid it's a bit of a problem for you to say this, this Xia Hua Seventh Lady said that she doesn't know you at all; I didn't receive any help from him in Zhangshu back then, but he said that Huang Lao had something in his place? And what is the reason? He Jianye asked suspiciously,
"Commander, I'm afraid he said it on purpose! I heard Lin Lao Er complain that in the past few days, he has come here under the guise of feelings to reap benefits, and there have been several rounds every day; I'm afraid this person wants to see you, so that he can get more benefits! Zeng Da said,
"No, he didn't ask for anything; also asked about the time of Huang Lao's burial, and said that he would come to pay tribute in person at that time, and said that he would bring Huang Lao's things! What's in it for him to lie? He Jianye asked,
"Commander, don't think about it; Whatever his purpose is, I'll send a few brothers to follow him and see what the hell this man does!" Zeng Da said,
"Don't disturb people, get back to the situation; Don't let people find out, after all, he is here to mourn Huang Lao; It's not good to pass it out! He Jianye said,
"Understood, Commander; I'll send a few old brothers over to make sure it's okay!" Zeng Da slowly withdrew from the small courtyard;
