Chapter 146: Gusu City

Xu Xi didn't know this, she didn't go at all when Bao Zhai opened, and honestly stayed in the academy to attend classes.

As a designer, she only needs to collect some data after the opening of Bao Zhai to see which styles of jewelry sell well and which ones do not, so as to grasp the market trend and adjust her design direction.

After going to class with peace of mind, she calculated that the time should be almost up, and began to look forward to the return of Zhao Yuanxun and the others.

Xu Xi lived a leisurely life in Bao Zhai and the Academy, but the chickens and dogs were jumping in the Suiping Marquis Mansion these days.

On the morning of the second day of that incident, Wei wanted to urge the eldest lady to take the person away after the cane, but found that the person who was kneeling in the main courtyard, the eldest lady looked angry, and she knew that Li Mu's family had escaped overnight, and almost fainted, so she had a quarrel with the eldest lady on the spot.

But the majesty of the eldest lady who has been in charge of the family for many years is there, and the Zhu family is not something that can be handled at will, and it is no worse than the Wei family, so the Wei family does not dare to go too far.

But after finding out that it was the Aoyagi family let go of the third lady Su's people, it was terrible, she directly grabbed the Su family and made a fuss for a while, scolding the Su family to faint, until the old lady stopped drinking and reprimanded her.

"Isn't it just a family? It's not made of gold, how many taels of silver can it be worth? For this, you have a quarrel with your sister-in-law and a brother-in-law, this is the Wei family's tutor? It's really a shallow-eyed thing, and a few taels of silver can make the house restless. Speaking of which, who would dare to marry a girl from your Wei family? ”

Saying that, the old lady instructed the eldest lady again: "No matter how those subordinates escape, you will not be able to guard it in the end." You take fifty taels of silver from your private account and give it to your second brother and sister, and this matter is over. ”

She glared at the Wei family again: "If you want to make trouble again, I will take someone to your Wei family and ask you how valuable the subordinates of the Wei family are, so that the aunt and grandmother of the Wei family will not respect the eldest sister-in-law for the sake of these subordinates, and increase the gap with the younger siblings." It's not that you asked those people to do unsightly things such as murder and arson, and their hearts are empty, that's why they are so tight. If that's the case, your Wei aunt and grandmother don't dare to ask for it in our Hou Mansion. When the time comes, I will ask the second child to give you a letter of resignation directly, and you can take your companion back to your parents' house. ”

With these words, Wei almost fainted.

Is that a matter of a few taels of silver? Is it a matter of a few subordinates? I'm really angry with her.

She really can't make trouble. If the trouble continues, it will be confirmed that she asked the Aoyagi family to kill people and set fires.

Wei is not a person who can control his temper, otherwise when Xu Xi returned to the Hou Mansion, she knew that she couldn't treat Xu Xi badly and arouse suspicion, but Xu Xi couldn't help but have a seizure when she hit her, and finally Xu Xi took the opportunity to get out of her control.

This time, she ran away from Li Mu's family of three and Aoyagi's younger brother who disappeared without knowing when, and was also angry with the old lady, the eldest lady and the third room, she held back an evil fire in her heart, and when she went back, she was angry with Mama Li, pointed at her and lost her temper, and asked people to lock Mama Li in the firewood room and not give her food.

Mama Li is also an elderly person, and she is worried about the safety of her children and grandchildren, and she is tossed by Wei's like this, and within a few days, she will be sick directly, with a high fever that does not go away, and she keeps talking nonsense in her mouth.

Thinking about the things that Mama Li handled, and worried that she would say nonsense and tell these things, Wei would rather she die.

The mouth of the dead is the most secure.

But if Mama Li is in her hands, Li Mu's family will still be bogeyed outside, and they will hide outside at most, or they will not dare to talk about her private affairs if they are left in the hands of the eldest lady and the third lady; Once Mama Li died, and Li Mu's family hated her to the core, wouldn't that force them to expose her?

"Carry Mama Li back, take a bath and change clothes, and then ask the kitchen to cook some rice porridge for her. Let her drink the porridge, and ask Shi Langzhong to take a look. She commanded.

"What's going on in the second room?" The eldest lady sat in her yard and asked Mama Zhou.

"Carried Mama Li out of the firewood room and invited Shi Langzhong to take a look." Mama Zhou said.

The eldest lady bowed her head, looked at the trees in the garden that began to shed their leaves, and said, "Master Hou, I don't know what happened." "Forget the days, the matter over there in Gusu should be handled almost well, right?

……

In the box facing the street of a restaurant at the entrance of the Gusu City Mansion, Zhao Yuanxun was sitting by the window on the second floor and looking out. Sitting opposite him were Zhu's eldest brothers, Lin Anbo, Zhu and Yu.

"Second master, she's here." Yang Hong, the leader of the guards standing beside Zhu Heyu, reminded softly.

Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu Heyu perked up their spirits, and when they looked closely, they saw a carriage coming from a distance, stopping at a distance from the entrance of the yamen, and an old woman in her sixties came down inside, followed by two maids.

She stood beside the carriage, hesitated for a long time and did not move.

A man who came with the carriage walked up to her and said something to her, and the old woman slowly walked towards the door.

The man who was talking to her did not move, nor did the maid who helped the old woman get out of the carriage, and they all stayed where they were.

The old woman turned around three times in one step, and finally walked to the door of the yamen, went up the steps, picked up the drum and hammered the big drum standing at the door.

"Knock knock", the drum beat was dull but far away, and the two servants standing at the gate of the yamen quickly caught the old woman into the yamen.

The man who had persuaded the old woman had already left the place as soon as she picked up the drum hammer, leaving behind two bewildered maids and the coachman.

Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu Heyu glanced at each other.

Zhu Heyu stood up and said, "Let's go, go back." ”

The two of them did not go to the main gate, but went out directly from the back door, got directly into a green tung oil mule cart parked at the back door, and rode to a place not far from the city gate.

Zhao Yuanxun didn't get out of the car, and held his uncle's hand: "Big brother, I'll leave it to you here." ”

"Rest assured. I'll get things done. Zhu Heyu patted him on the shoulder, "Pay attention to safety all the way." ”

He raised his head and told the guards behind Zhao Yuanxun: "Take care of your grandfather." He's not in good health, so he'd rather walk slower than worry. Everything has us. ”

Zhao Yuanxun got off the mule cart, got into a carriage, and after saluting a man dressed as a rich man sitting in the carriage, he changed into a subordinate costume, disguised his face, and squatted in the corner of the carriage.

Zhu Heyu watched the rich man issue a road guide, stuffed a handful of money into the officers and soldiers guarding the door, and the carriage went out of the city smoothly and galloped away.

He breathed a sigh of relief and commanded, "Go back." ”

The mule cart did not return to the restaurant opposite the yamen, but entered a two-entry courtyard.

There were guards waiting there for a long time. Before Zhu Heyu got out of the carriage, he stepped forward and said, "Master, it's done." ”

Zhu Heyu looked in the direction of the capital and nodded slightly: "Okay." ”
