Chapter Twenty-Six: The Skinny Horse
After Roland ate slowly, Roman took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth carefully, and then asked Zhou Hong to call the people next door, asking them to set up the car and prepare to go back.
Out of Cuifang Building, Roman asked all the subordinates brought out by Zhou Hong to settle in the Zuixiang Building next door.
Since all the villains in Qingqiu Courtyard were sold, all the subordinates were a little relieved in front of Roman. Some are afraid, and some are obviously flattering: it is impossible for Roman to keep only Zhou Hong as a maid by his side, as long as he can choose to serve by her side, he will be able to meet between Roman and Pei Mama.
If you can please both sides, you will definitely be prosperous. Even if you can only please one side, it is more convenient to please Mama Pei in Roman and by her side.
Of course, no one has forgotten how Mama Pei treated the people who were sent in front of her. But wealth and wealth are in danger, they have no ability to do it themselves, why should Mama Pei protect useless people?
No one really wants to be loyal to Roman, the fields, Zhuangzi, and shops are all in the hands of Mama Pei, Roman, a young lady who will leave the cabinet sooner or later, how many days can he be a home?
In this way, Zhou Hong just passed the word, and the subordinates moved tightly, and in less than a moment, everything was ready.
Roman took his sister's hand downstairs, and the two merchants also went upstairs while talking.
When the two compartments were about to meet on the stairs, Roman heard a merchant whisper to another: "During this time, the officials of Jinghu South Road have been transferred frequently, and it is said that Lord Zhao is also going to be promoted to the transfer envoy of Zhendingfu Road.
It hadn't rained yet, and the officials who were familiar with the situation left one by one. If it is really a disaster, the Qin Messenger of disaster relief will definitely be blind. Let's be optimistic about our granary, and when the time comes, we will not only ask for money, but also have to ask for poor favors. ”
The other person was a little excited when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and his voice was even lowered: "Looking at Lord Zhao's affection, Second Master Zhao has to reach out to Jinghu Lake." If Lord Zhao really goes with the prince, there will be no reason to block our way to fortune. ”
"If you take refuge in the prince, you must listen to ......"
found that someone in front of him was approaching him, and the man immediately changed his mouth and pulled his companion up the stairs quickly: "I heard that this boiled bullfrog is a must......"
Without squinting, Roman bounced his sister down the stairs. She stood aside, and didn't even glance at the two merchants. Just frowned, unconsciously wrinkled.
Even if the two merchants didn't show any flaws, Roman knew that someone had sent the news to her specifically - this kind of sensitivity
It is also important news, and the merchant knows it, and it is impossible to talk about it while walking.
She saw through this and knew that the news was absolutely true. As for who wanted to reveal it to her, she didn't have time to think about it.
Because, she seems to understand the reason why the Zhao family suddenly collapsed in the previous life.
She doesn't know what her eldest uncle is like, but she only looks at the personality of her aunt and uncle, and her uncle shouldn't be able to do anything to exchange the lives of the victims for his own promotion.
In this way, the olive branch of the prince is only afraid that it will be thrown in vain.
It is true that the prince is tyrannical, but just because of this refusal, he should not be a killer of the Zhao family. In this way, the eldest uncle should not only not lean towards the prince, but also helped with the relief of the county king.
But according to the temperament of the king of Hejun, he has the help of the Zhao family, even if the Zhao family does not take refuge in him, he will definitely protect the Zhao family.
The Zhao family was exiled all over the house, and they almost died before they reached the place of exile. At that time, the king of Qin and the king of Hejun were not to say that they were in the sky, but they were also shining, but they couldn't keep their uncle's official position, and it was easy to protect people's lives.
Roman thought carefully about the past, but she was embroidering a dowry during the famine on the two roads of Jinghu, and she was still embroidering a dowry when the Zhao family had an accident, and she couldn't find any useful information at all.
What's the problem?
The uncle's crimes back then were dereliction of duty and embezzlement. embezzled 30,000 taels of silver for disaster relief.
Roman smiled: Mama Pei is holding her mother's dowry in her hands, and she can buy a thin horse with 10,000 taels of silver as soon as she makes a move; The Zhao family is in charge of half of the city's wealth, can the eldest uncle see a mere 30,000 taels?
"What is my sister thinking?" Roland tugged at the corners of Roman's clothes, in order not to disturb her sister's thoughts, she touched all the corners of the carriage herself, and she was really bored and looked at her sister for a long time with her cheeks.
But my sister still didn't notice her. Now, she couldn't get bored.
Roman turned his head and saw that Roland was bored, and he couldn't disturb her little face. She reached out and pinched her little nose, and said with a smile: "I'm thinking about where to take Lan Lan to play tomorrow." ”
This excuse is too perfunctory, Roland doesn't believe it at all, but her sister lies, she has to be spoiled: "Then let's turn over the flower rope, my sister has been busy for a day, and she will also play and spread out." ”
didn't figure out the affairs of the Zhao family, Roman was actually in no mood to play. But my sister's soft and tender little hands held her, and her worried little eyes looked at her, and she couldn't say anything if she refused.
"Come on!" My sister shook her arm softly, shaking her heart soft and warm: "Okay." ”
Roman touched his sister's head again and played with her with the rope.
The two concentrated on the whole way, and when they got home, Roman was not only relaxed, but also had a clearer idea: the only thing he could do to his uncle immediately after the disaster was to find the prince who had a grudge against Lan Cheng. The prince did not protect the Zhao family, and it can only be that the prince does not know that in the process of his disaster relief, the Zhao family has helped with his heart.
She asked the maid to send her sister back, and walked to Qingqiu Courtyard while thinking about things.
The subordinates I met along the way were all amazed by Zhou Hong's mask. The mask is good-looking, and the most important thing is that the mask is pure silver, and it is also set with a lot of rubies with excellent fire color.
At first glance, it is worth a lot of money, and Zhou Hong definitely can't afford it.
Neither of the master and servant cared about their rapid transformation of thoughts, let alone how much this mask had hooked their hearts to come to Qingqiu Courtyard.
I didn't know that in a moment's time, more than 20 people had already taken the initiative to ask Mama Pei to volunteer to go to Qingqiu Courtyard on an errand.
Mama Pei's smile was still kind, but she almost didn't hate bleeding in her heart: the dead girl only pinched the deed, and the dog minions rushed to her. If she really has to be at home, will she still have a place to stand?
It seems that the action is faster.
When Roman and Zhou Hong walked to the gate of Qingqiu Courtyard, they saw Luo Tingchen waiting outside. When Luo Tingchen saw his sister coming back, he greeted him in two steps, and wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhou Hong, he shut up again.
"My brother and I have something to say, you watch from the outside, and no one is allowed to approach." Roman patted Zhou Hong's shoulder: "Now that there is no manpower, it is difficult for you." ”
Zhou Hong also looked solemn: "Miss, don't worry." ”
When he entered the house, he didn't bother to greet him, Luo Tingchen looked at him with a sad face: "Pei Pozi forced three girls in my room, I read, write, drink tea, and change clothes...... They all have to intervene, cry as soon as they pinch it, and the ghost will not go away. ”
"The key is to cry beautifully, pear blossoms with rain, dew dyed begonias." Roman added with a smile, she wanted to make a cup of tea for her brother, but there was neither manpower nor hot water in the house, so she had to give up: "A Yangzhou thin horse that can be sold for more than three thousand taels of silver naturally has some ability." ”
Luo Tingchen found a chair to sit on by himself, and frowned deeply: not only does crying look good, but it looks good when he is still and moving, and he looks good with a smile and a smile. Not only is it good-looking, but also very interesting, she will stand aside when you pick her up, keep her head down quietly, and don't disturb or leave.
When they say they are going to betray them, they kneel in front of you in despair, looking at you with autumn-like eyes, tears falling one after another.
You can start with anything, she can analyze the four books and five classics you read, you say that she has opinions when you hear about current politics, and she is more uphead when you talk about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
It can also speak to your heart.
He knew that it was a plan, but the delicate daughter stood in front of him, benefiting from advance and retreat, words and deeds, he couldn't retreat, and he couldn't be ruthless.
It's annoying!
"Brother can't do anything about them?" Roman came over with an embroidered basket and sat opposite Luo Tingchen idly.
"It's not that it's impossible, it's just that I can't bear it." Luo Tingchen sighed: "Let's fight with Pei Pozi, why bother implicating others?" No matter how thin a horse is, then a cheap life, in the end, it is also a person. Out of my courtyard are abandoned children, what should Mrs. Pei do with them? ”
Roman glanced up at his brother: his brother is gloomy on the surface, but he is still very kind in his bones.
"I want to go back to the academy for a while." Seeing that Roman ignored him, Luo Tingchen moved his body awkwardly: "My yard is full of Mama Pei's people, and everything she says and does is under her nose." You are the only one left with Zhou Hong, and An Sheng is An Sheng, but he doesn't even have a person to serve tea and water.
I went to live in the academy, so I could take the opportunity to buy some manpower and think about bringing the mansion back. When the time comes, it will be convenient for us to do things, and those three girls will be able to be accommodated. ”
"I went to Linxi Jiuli today, and the manpower to be used has been prepared by the shopkeeper." Roman stopped what he was doing and looked up at his brother: "The kitchen steward and the subordinates of Qingqiu Courtyard have been kicked out, and it is impossible for Pei Pozi not to move." I'm waiting for her. ”
Luo Tingchen looked at his sister with a question mark on his face.
"The people in charge around you and me must not only be capable, but also reliable. It's definitely not okay to buy it now, and I'm going to ask my aunt to lend me a few people. ”
She was a little thirsty, and saw a plate of fresh peaches on the table of the Eight Immortals, got up and brought it over, picked a beautiful one and slowly peeled it: "Don't think about going back to the academy first." Those skinny horses, if you look good-looking, you can take a few more looks, and if you are tired of reading, it is nothing to tease them with them. As long as you keep your heart, it's just three more girls who can seduce people. ”
Luo Tingchen pursed his lips and didn't speak.
"After my aunt's birthday, we won't have Mama Pei's eyes and ears in Wanzhaoyuan."
"If you don't have her eyes and ears at home, you will cut off one of her hands." Luo Tingchen raised his head suddenly, looked at Roman Confident's expression, and his heart moved: If his sister wants to make a big move, he can't hold back. It's just a few good-looking skinny horses, and he's not really at a loss.
"Have you heard that my uncle is going to be promoted to the transfer envoy of Zhending Mansion?" Roman peeled the peach and handed it to his brother: "What do you think about this?" ”
Luo Tingchen really already knew, he reached out and pushed back the peach handed over by Roman and asked her to eat it herself: "I'm going to go to my little uncle to find out what the Zhao family means." ”
Seeing that his sister was eating peaches quietly and did not answer, he added: "Political enemies are dumping, and it is impossible to say whether it is right or wrong." But the tens of millions of people on the two roads of Jinghu are the people of our Jinghe and the people of his Li family. In the prince's heart, there is only himself, no family, no country, no courtiers and people in the world. ”
Roman was chewing the flesh carefully, and she finished eating this bite slowly before she spoke: "What we can see, the Zhao family can see more clearly."
I mean, the prince is brutal, and if he fails to solicit him, he will definitely take revenge. We have to find a backer for the Zhao family quickly. ”
Without waiting for Roman to finish eating the next bite of peaches, Luo Tingchen understood what Roman meant: "It is easy to protect the Zhao family with the king of Qin with the king of the county with his back." But we haven't gotten on the line with the prince yet......"
"So we can't wait for the autumn season." Roman put the leftover peach pit on the side of the plate, and looked at his eldest brother with a solemn look that had never been before: "I want to invite the prince out, use all means to make him value you, and immediately go to the prince's side as a counselor." ”
Luo Tingchen looked at his sister fixedly, no matter how much he petted, he couldn't answer a good word-
At present, he is just a few talents living outside, not to mention going to the prince to show his ability, it is difficult to see the prince. He didn't have the confidence to complete his sister's task.
"I'll help you!"
