Chapter 88: Dog Eats Dog; Chapter 89: Deliberately

He Huan knew the truth of being angry, she couldn't give Wei and Tao a chance to breathe, so she instructed Bai Shao: "You accompany Miss Daylily first, and say I'll go over later." Immediately after that, she opened Aunt Zhang again.

As the footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, He Huanfu set his eyes on Wei and Tao again, and saw Wei sitting on the ground with a disgraced expression.

Earlier, in the eyes of the real He Huan, although Wei was from a humble background and illiterate, she was a strict and generous grandmother. Even though she is physically weak, she has the demeanor of an old lady in charge. Looking at Wei at this time, she is not even as good as a shrew in the market. As for weakness, in He Huan's eyes, it was just Wei's disease-free moan.

Dow is really weak, but part of her illness is pretended, and part of it is hidden in the room all day long.

Tao thought about her husband's sigh before he died, thinking that three years ago, her husband had persuaded Wei, but Wei insisted on going his own way, saying that he was for the entire He family.

If He Huan hadn't made it clear, Tao could still deceive herself, but at this moment, how could she deceive herself? She stared at Wei with blood-red eyes, but her cheeks were pale, and her slender fingers clenched the back of the chair, as if trying to crush the hard wood raw.

"What do you see!" Wei yelled at Tao, "Da Lang is not in good health......

Tao interrupted Wei and said word by word: "Old lady, when you dream back at midnight, aren't you afraid?" The lord is your biological son, don't you regret it? ”

"It's you, it's you who didn't give birth to a son and a half daughter!" Wei Shi scolded sharply, "If you are so good to serve Da Lang, how can I send a white-haired person to a black-haired person?" ”

"I really didn't give birth to a son and a half daughter for my lord. But I didn't harm my lord's life! Dow jerked to his feet. The whole body trembles. indignantly accused: "Old lady, you won't forget, more than three years ago, how did the old man persuade you?" If it weren't for you, how could the master be escorted to the yamen by the officials? Do you dare to swear that the smuggling is all fabricated by the government out of thin air? ”

Cao Shi was shocked and blurted out: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean." Three years ago, the old lady was the culprit in selling illicit goods? ”

Wei stood up from the ground, pointed to Tao's nose and said, "What do you know, doing business has always been a matter of wealth and danger. Do you think the old lady didn't do these things when he was alive? ”

"How is my father-in-law, I don't know the way, I only know the way, the lord has advised you many times, and the family is no better than before. Don't believe the words of others, wade into the muddy waters of the Lin family......"

"You said the Lin family. Three years ago, the Lin family was as destitute as we were. But if you look at people now, they are not the same wealth! Wei glanced at He Huan suggestively, and said loudly: "People have given birth to a good daughter, which no one can envy!" ”

"Auntie, this is my fault, I lost to my cousin three years ago?" He Huan sneered.

"How dare I blame you!" Wei snorted, "It's already dark, and the Shen family sent a maid over...... If not, do you have the guts, and do you have the right to shout here? ”

"Grandma's words are really funny. You were still complaining about me in the last sentence, you failed to marry Uncle Shen three years ago, and in the next sentence, I laughed at me again and made Uncle Shen look at me differently. Please forgive me for being stupid and not understanding what my aunt wants me to do. ”

"You, you still have to be shameless!" Wei screamed hysterically, "And you! She pointed to Cao's nose, "What else are you going to do besides eating?" Before Cao's reaction, she rebuked Tao again: "You only know how to cry and cry all day long, and this family is broken up by you crying!" ”

Cao Shi sneered, rolled up his sleeves, and said contemptuously: "Old lady, you are wrong, I will not only eat, but I will also pull people's hair!" Before she could finish speaking, she grabbed Wei's collar with one hand and pulled her hair with the other.

Wei Shi was caught off guard, howled in pain, and immediately reached out to grab Cao, and the two twisted together instantly.

Dow watched from the sidelines, stunned for ten seconds. Seeing Wei and Cao fall to the ground, they rolled twice. She turned her back and closed her eyes, letting the tears slide down the corners of her eyes.

If her parents were still alive, if her parents still had relatives, she would have gone back to her parents' house a long time ago. She didn't want to see them anymore, but she had nowhere to go without saying anything when she left the He family, would she die in the future, and still be a lonely ghost? The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, so she simply sat down in her chair and began to cry bitterly.

He Huan didn't expect the Cao clan's combat power to be so strong. It's not that she doesn't want to pull them away, but she's so tired that she doesn't even have the strength to speak, so how can she persuade them. She took two steps on her forehead and hind legs, and watched coldly as Wei and Cao scolded and bitten.

Wei Shi was old in the end, and he quickly fell behind. The Cao family did not relent, and let go of Wei with a "phew" at the Wei family, and hummed in his mouth: "Today is just a lesson for you." In the future, if you want to count my mistakes, you weigh your own weight! With that, she raised her head proudly and stood behind He Huan.

He Huan was quite surprised by her behavior, as if the Cao family had decided to be with her overnight. She glanced at Cao Shi and saw Cao Shi grinning at herself.

Wei Shi saw the eyes of the two of them meet, and he became more and more angry. Her scalp ached for a while, her cheeks hurt hotly, and even the corners of her mouth were torn by Cao. She has fought all her life, calculated all her life, and what did she get in the end? Don't say that his son is dead, he is still being boycotted by everyone at this time. She began to cry, salty tears rolling down the wound on her cheek, and she felt only a throbbing pain in her old face.

He Huan sat down on the soft couch, and it was not until Wei and Tao's cries gradually stopped that she said calmly: "I never intended to go through old accounts, and pursuing the past is not beneficial to our situation today. But—" she said solemnly, "if the 'old scores' of the past may affect today, everyone must be open and honest. Taking advantage of the fact that there are no outsiders now, everyone discussed a countermeasure in advance. ”

Except for Cao's nod, neither Wei nor Tao reacted. He Huan said to Wei: "Grandma, since you don't want to go back with the third aunt, in your heart, this is your home, isn't it?" Seeing that Wei Shi did not answer, she repeated in an accentuated tone: "Isn't it?" ”

Wei was helpless. I can only nod slightly.

He Huan turned his head to Tao again and said, "Auntie." It's been three years since my uncle died. Since the eldest uncle told you on his deathbed to be filial to your aunt and grandmother and to raise Brother Jing with your heart, I think you have a deep love for plaice, and you must also want to fulfill your promise, don't you? ”

Dow turned his back and did not speak. Except for compromises. Is there a second way for her to go?

He Huan didn't persecute Tao, she believed that Tao knew so much. She turned to face Wei and reiterated clearly: "Everyone is a family, and every word spoken in this room at this moment, no one will spread it, after all, if the matter is in trouble, everyone will be implicated." She paused and asked Wei word by word: "Auntie, three years ago." Your investment in the Lin family's fleet is not a serious businessman. It's bent on making a profitable deal, isn't it? ”

Wei Shi was silent for a long time, and nodded with difficulty.

He Huan saw it in his eyes, and the only feeling in his heart: rejoicing. She has always known that every time the Lin family's fleet goes to sea, it will always bring some "private goods", but when she was still Lin Xiyan, she didn't know that three years ago, the second room of the Lin family was so bold that she dared to smuggle it in a grand manner.

He Huan took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, and asked again: "Three years ago, our relationship with my aunt's family was not as good as before, and we had no intersection with the second room of the Lin family, who was the matchmaker?" After asking this, He Huan only felt nervous. If Wei answers the three words "Feng Jiyang", everything will be logical.

To He Huan's disappointment, Wei was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "It's He Daxu, he is also a member of the clan, and he worked as an errand under your grandfather. ”

In the memory of the real He Huan, she had vaguely heard this name, but if it was an impression, it was blank. She asked: "How did he get on the line with the second room of the Lin family?" I think that the second room of the Lin family will never talk about things that violate the law and go around. She was expecting Wei to mention Feng Jiyang.

Wei shook his head and said, "Specifically, I don't know the way." He only said that once the merchant ships return to port, we will immediately get back the principal and profits, and we will get back three times the profits as much as we pay......"

"That's how the deed of ownership is written? Who is the middle man? He Huan was so angry that he wanted to laugh. Even if it is smuggling, it is impossible to easily make three times the profit, the whole thing is clearly a scam!

Wei didn't feel that something was wrong, and said with a burning voice: "It is precisely because this matter cannot be written down in black and white that there is such a huge profit." Your grandfather has always relied heavily on He Daxu, and he is repaying the favor. ”

He Huan didn't bother to argue with Wei, so he only said, "What did the eldest uncle say?" He didn't persuade you? She didn't believe that He Baichu was as confused as Wei.

When Wei heard this, he looked away with a weak heart and pursed his lips silently.

Tao interjected on the side: "It is impossible for the master to agree to such a ridiculous thing, I heard you say in the house with my own ears that you will make a contract with the Lin family in black and white, and go to the government for the record or something." The master also told you that he felt that it was inappropriate, because he estimated that the Lin family had brought too many 'private goods' this time, and the sea was not very peaceful, so it was too risky. ”

For a moment, Wei's expression became even more ugly, and he muttered in a low voice: "In short, it was the bandits on the sea who were too hateful, and it was the government that arrested Da Lang indiscriminately for the sake of the errand." ”

Hearing this, He Huan finally understood that what Wei and Tao said were fundamentally two things. On the bright side, He Baichu came forward, made a contract with the Lin family, and went abroad seriously. Because He Baichu noticed that Lin Guqing was planning to smuggle, he persuaded Wei not to participate, but 'smuggling' was an open secret in the industry, and he did not oppose it fiercely.

In fact, the Wei family was deceived by He Daxu and thought that they had reached an agreement in private, but in fact, the He family's money had already been lost. But what do these things have to do with Feng Jiyang? How could Sanfang threaten Wei's?

He Huan turned his head to look at Cao. Previously, she said categorically that He Baichu didn't know Feng Jiyang.

Chapter 89 deliberately

Seeing He Huan staring at him, Cao asked strangely, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

"Aunt Cao, why do you know that the eldest uncle will never know Feng Jiyang?" He Huan looked at Cao's family, "I think, even if it's the eldest aunt, I don't know what friends Uncle Lu Dao knows outside. ”

Cao lowered his eyes and swore again: "Since Feng Jiyang is not a good person, it is naturally impossible for the uncle to know him. Could it be that Uncle knows the broker Feng? She looked at Dow.

Dow instinctively shook his head and said affirmatively, "I've never heard this name mentioned by the master." ”

Wei said impatiently: "Why are you clinging to the name Feng Jiyang?" All of them said, we don't know him. He had always only interacted with people from high families. ”

"What do you mean by that, Auntie?"

Wei pouted. He replied, "I've heard of this man." He specializes in finding valuable rare things for the rich, and only came to Jizhou eight or nine years ago. You don't want to think about how the situation in the family has been getting worse since your father passed away, how can he make friends with us? ”

Seeing that Wei and Tao were very sincere, He Huan decided to ask Cao again in private, why he knew about the Daoist broker Feng, so he exposed the topic. Then he asked Wei: "Auntie, I heard what you just said, what happened three years ago has nothing to do with the third uncle's family at all, why did you give them the house in Stone Lane and the only two shops in the family that make money?" As soon as the words fell, she added: "Don't say anything more, this is the compensation they moved out of the house and went to the single or something." ”

When Wei Shi heard this, his expression was a little strange for an instant, and he pursed his lips and was reluctant to answer.

He Huan sighed and urged, "Grandma, Lord Lu is waiting for us to explain. Why is the black scarf man hiding in our house, the third uncle will come early tomorrow morning. No matter what. You'll have to explain it sooner or later! ”

Wei hesitated for a moment, peeked at Tao, and whispered: "On that day, Da Lang was arrested by Lin Zhutou and went to the Yamen, I originally wanted to go to the Yamen to dredge, but ......" She glanced at Tao again, and said in a lower voice: "But before I go to dredge, I always have to find out what happened, so before I go to the Yamen, I first went to the dock...... When I met He Daxu, we quarreled a few words, and your third uncle heard ......"

When Dow heard this, his face became even more ugly. She remembers every detail of that day vividly. When Wei went out, she took almost all the cash of the He family with her, but she didn't go to the yamen, but actually went to the dock. She said bluntly: "Auntie, it turns out that in your heart, silver is more important than your own son. ”

Wei was so choked by her that he couldn't speak. In fact, she also regretted it, but there is no regret medicine in the world.

He Huan knew that things might not be as simple as Wei said. But as she said before, she didn't want to pursue the past, and she didn't want Wei and Tao to have another quarrel, so she asked instead: "What about the house in Stone Lane?" Why don't Aunt Cao and I know about the existence of the house, even the eldest aunt? ”

This time, the Cao family did not hesitate, and said bluntly: "The house was left to me by your grandfather, and He Daxu has always collected rent for me, until three years ago, I gave the title deed of the house to your third uncle." ”

He Huan laughed. According to the account books of Yongji Pawnshop, the rent for the past seven or eight years has been signed by Feng Jiyang, and I am afraid that what Wei said: "I met He Daxu at the dock, quarreled a few words, and was heard by your third uncle" is not accidental.

In fact, it was also the greed, selfishness, and ignorance in Wei's nature that made her deceived again and again, and she has not woken up to this day. He Huan explained impatiently, just sighed lightly, and said: "Auntie, in the afternoon, I saw the account book of the Yongji pawnshop, do you know what the annual rent is when you enter the house?" ”

"It's just a small house."

"Three hundred and sixty taels."

"What!" Not only the Wei family, but even the Cao family jumped up, and she shouted at the Wei family: "You just gave three hundred and sixty taels to the third room for nothing?" Three hundred and sixty taels a year, enough for our whole family to live in peace for the previous year! ”

At this moment, Wei was simply dumb and couldn't tell if he was bitter. Before she handed over the shop to Sanfang, He Daxu only gave her one hundred taels of silver every year. The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and whispered, "No, I have to go to him, I have to make him spit out the silver!" ”

He Huan saw that Wei still didn't understand, so he sighed again and said, "Grandma, I, eldest aunt, and Aunt Cao don't know the house in Ludao Stone Lane, how did the third uncle know about Ludao?" Could it be that his aunt took the initiative to tell him that she wanted to give him the house that your grandfather left to you? ”

"You mean, He Daxu...... No, it won't! Wei Shi was shocked, shook his head again and again, and stood up in a panic, "I'll go find him now!" She stumbled out.

He Huan grabbed her, shook his head and said, "I want to find him, and I have to ask him clearly, but not now, and it's not my aunt and grandmother who are looking for him." She pressed Wei back into her chair and said, "Auntie, think about it carefully, in the ten years since my father's death, except for the incident of going abroad three years ago, there is nothing else that outsiders can't know, especially the people in the government." ”

Without waiting for Wei's answer, Tao said categorically: "The master will never do those things that steal chickens and dogs, let alone do things that are sorry for his conscience." Even if it was three years ago. The lord has also been admonishing his aunt and grandmother......"

"You don't push everything on me. I didn't do anything to be sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth. Wei snorted.

He Huan thought carefully. According to the memory of the real He Huan. In the past ten years, there are only old and weak women and children left in the He family, except for the one three years ago, nothing special has happened. However, she couldn't believe the memory of the real He Huan, and repeatedly asked Wei if he had partnered with anyone to do business, or bought particularly cheap things, etc.

Dow listened silently. She had completely chilled Wei Clan. I can't help but complain about my husband's foolishness. But when her husband is dead, what's the use of complaining about him in her heart? Thinking of the life in which she married into the He family for more than ten years, she was sad again, and her tears couldn't stop falling.

Seeing He Huan asking Wei one by one, Cao felt that her decision was right, but she had to think of a reason to explain why He Baichu didn't know Feng Jiyang. Seeing that Dow was crying again, she approached her and whispered, "It's not so good now, why are you crying." It's better to think about how to not be implicated by the black scarf, but you can't let Jing'er lose the opportunity for scientific research. ”

"Of course you're not sad. It's not that the second uncle was killed by his biological mother for no reason......"

"Could it be that my lord died unjustly? The old man was killed by bandits at sea, and his bones are gone, and he is more wronged than the uncle! ”

……

Tao and Cao whispered until He Huan and Wei finished talking, and the four dispersed.

He Huan instructed Uncle Zhang to go out on errands, and went back to the house to drink two sips of hot tea, and then went to see Daylily. Before she entered the house, she heard Daylily and Bai Peony talking affectionately. She frowned and pushed the door open.

Seeing He Huan, Xuancao hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said crisply: "Miss He, the slave maid is still bothering you so late, I'm really sorry, it's the slave maid who didn't handle things well." ”

He Huan helped him and asked, "But what does Uncle Shen command?" ”

Bai Shao hurriedly said, "Sister Xuancao specially sent back the clothes that Miss changed last time. She had a rare smile on her face.

"Sister Bai Shao, don't say anything deliberate." Xuancao smiled embarrassedly and explained to He Huan: "Last time, the slave maid took it upon herself to wash the sweaty clothes that Miss He had changed. The last time you left, your clothes were not dry, and earlier this day, the slave forgot about it. If it weren't for the slave maid who had to follow the master and the little master to Zhuangzi early tomorrow morning, she wouldn't have come to the door so late to disturb her. ”

When He Huan heard the words "little master", his heart tightened, and he asked anxiously: "Nian Xi...... Young master, go to Zhuangzi early tomorrow morning? Is it the Zhuangzi in the east of the city? ”

"Yes." Daylily nodded, "Uncle didn't want to leave the city so early, for fear of tiring the little master, but the old lady said that tomorrow is only an auspicious time at two o'clock, so ......" She smiled apologetically and apologized repeatedly.

Daylily's words were a little deliberate, but He Huan didn't realize it. There is only one sentence in my mind: "Nian Xi will go out of the city from the East City Gate at two o'clock tomorrow." ”

She wants to see her son!

She didn't think anything before, but when she heard the news, she couldn't wait at the city gate immediately.

He Huan didn't know when Lu Dao Xuancao left, and when she came back to her senses, she saw a set of Chinese clothes on the table. When she came to her senses, she couldn't help frowning. Daylilies didn't have to send this outfit back at all. She said to Bai Shao, who was standing on the side: "In the future, my underwear, except for you, can't pass through other people's hands, remember?" ”

Seeing the master's serious expression, Bai Shao nodded stunned.

He Huan saw that she was ignorant, and she didn't feel depressed, so she said with a calm face: "What did you all say just now, so that you can match your sister and sister so quickly?" ”

"Sister Daylily just taught me how to make clothes, how to make tea, and how to clean jewelry. She seems to know everything. Bai Peony looked adoring, thinking that she really liked daylilies.

He Huan looked at her strangely and asked, "In the Shen family before, why didn't you fall in love with you so much?" ”

"Sister Xu is daylily before, she was on an errand, so it's inconvenient to talk to the slave maid more."

He Huan didn't answer. She has been very busy, too busy to learn what "fate" is, but if she stands in Bai Paeonia's perspective, the sudden affection of Daylilies will probably only make her feel resigned. Fortunately, Bai Peony and Daylily will not have any contact with each other for a short time, so she didn't say anything more.

Half an hour later, Uncle Zhang hurried home and told He Huan that he had followed her instructions and went to the yamen to find Lin Zhutou. The people from the yamen said that Lin Zhutou did not rest for two or three days, and went home to sleep. But when he rushed to Lin Zhutou's house, his neighbor said that he had never been back at all. (To be continued......)

PS: I'm so tired today, I went out to class early in the morning. At noon, I made a contract to change the name of "Huanhuan", and continued to attend classes in the afternoon; I went home in the evening and had a bunch of things, and the code word at 8 o'clock was now. Hi hi hi! In the evening, the name change agreement of "Huanhuan" has been sent, guess what it changed to, guess a set of sample books, the time is until 0:00 a.m. on Monday, and people who know the title of the book are not allowed to participate.
