Chapter 141: Targeting
To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself.
The eldest lady is like this, this is the best good teammate to fight side by side.
Qingfeng belongs to the silly white sweet kind. Although she briefly talked about what happened last night, she didn't know that these were all caused by the eldest lady, and she didn't understand the meaning of Xu Xi's words, she only thought that her girl was praising the eldest lady for adhering to principles and being able to resist the pressure of the second lady to punish Aoyagi.
None of this is her business, she only cares about her own girl: "Girl, how are you in the academy?" Eat well and sleep well? ”
"Okay. Mrs. Xiao took special care of me and asked the grandmother of the academy to accompany me and keep me safe; I also sent Miss Xiaoru to serve me. Just now a generous breakfast was given to me. You go back and tell the old lady and the eldest lady, don't worry about me. ”
Because today is the middle of the day, all the girls in the academy were picked up by their families last night, and the entire academy was empty.
Fortunately, the mother-in-law who patrols the courtyard in the academy and guards the courtyard is there; Mrs. Xiao also entrusted the two mothers-in-law in the academy to take care of Xu Xi, and Xiaoru stayed until she went to bed last night before leaving.
Last night's dinner was settled in the silver building, and breakfast was specially made by Xiaoru and sent over, so there was no problem with her life.
In fact, in his previous life, he studied outside and lived alone for many years, and Xu Xi's life skills were all lit up. Even without these special cares, Xu Xi can still live well.
Xu Xi said, and began to drive Qingfeng away: "Okay, you go back." I'm going to the Silver Tower, and the carriage from the palace has come to pick me up. ”
Qingfeng looked in the direction of Xu Xi's finger, and sure enough, a gorgeous carriage was parked next to it, and a pretty maid who was much stronger than her was getting out of the carriage.
"That girl, the slave has gone back."
Seeing Qingfeng get into the carriage with his head drooped like an abandoned puppy, Xu Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Let's go." She got into the carriage and went to the Silver Building.
The carriage belonged to Mrs. Shaw. Not the one she used to use, though, but a spare. It looks very new.
"Xu Dongjia, shopkeeper Huang, you two can see it clearly, right? It was indeed Miss Xu who entered that door just now, the villain was not mistaken, right? "The guy guarding the door of Yulong Pavilion said to Xu Xinda and Huang Xing.
A while ago, the silk shop that was doing a thriving business across the door suddenly closed the door and took the plaque, and then people continued to enter and exit there, and there was a sound of "clanging" inside, as if the store was being rearranged. This made the people of Yulong Pavilion very curious, and they didn't find anything when they inquired.
Xu Xinda's Yulong Pavilion was handed down from his father and has existed for thirty or forty years; The silk shop opposite is also a time-honored shop, and it opened earlier than their Yulong Court. The new and old shopkeepers there, Xu Xinda and his father all knew each other, and they greeted each other when they met. They all knew that the proprietor of this silk shop was a nobleman in Beijing, and as for who it was, they asked, but the shopkeeper didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to inquire again.
But such a shop suddenly closed. And the shopkeeper disappeared quietly without saying hello to them. This made Xu Xinda really drum in his heart, and he didn't dare to inquire too much about the situation of the other door.
Unexpectedly, yesterday evening, the guys guarding the door came to report that they saw Miss Xu who came to the store to sell jewelry pictures in and out of the door.
This Miss Xu, last time she handed over the bottom by herself, Huang Xing also checked through the second son's people, and she is indeed the young lady of the Suiping Marquis Mansion. It's just a house, and his background is bizarre, he was held in the countryside by mistake, and he was only recently taken back to the Hou Mansion. She is currently studying at the Girls' College in Bac Ninh.
The one who changed her identity with this Miss Xu was Zhao Ruyu, the lady of the Suiping Marquis Mansion who was the second son's heartfelt affection.
This made Xu Xinda and Huang Xing even more puzzled, so they wanted to identify it in person. Thinking about today's college holiday, the two of them deliberately sat upstairs by the window, wanting to try their luck, but they didn't expect to really let them see this Miss Xu being sent over by a gorgeous carriage.
"Which carriage is this?" Xu Xinda asked Huang Xing.
Huang Xing looked at it for a long time and shook his head: "There is no sign, I don't know." But those who can afford such horses and carriages are either rich or expensive. ”
The horse was so great that it could not be bought without more than a thousand taels of silver, but the family was willing to use it to pull the cart; The carriage was also made of fine wood, with fine workmanship and fine fabrics. Not to mention the ordinary rich and noble families, even the Suiping Marquis Mansion itself can't afford such a carriage.
The Pingnan Hou Mansion can be purchased, but it can only buy one or two, and you can't afford it. After the purchase, only Pingnanhou or Mrs. Hou are qualified to sit. The eldest prince is barely within reach; The second son is not qualified to sit.
It can be inferred from this that the owner of the newly opened store must be higher and richer than the Suiping Hou Mansion or even the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
"Then should we report this matter to the second son?" Xu Xinda asked again.
Huang Xing thought about it and originally wanted to deny it. After all, they reported it without checking anything, and it seemed that they were particularly incompetent.
But thinking about the relationship between this Miss Xu and Miss Zhao Ruyu, as well as the last time the second prince and the fifth prince came, they seemed to be very interested in the jewelry drawings drawn by this Miss Xu, Huang Xing touched his beard, and still nodded: "Okay, I'll write a letter to the second prince in a while." However, before receiving the order of the second son, no one is allowed to act rashly. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Xinda meaningfully.
Xu Xinda held back his anger and sneered: "That's nature." The nobles in Beijing are intertwined, and if they act recklessly before they understand the situation, they will bring trouble to the second son. ”
"If the Xu Dongjia has nothing to do at home, they will bother to help take care of the store for a day. I'll have to watch here to see if there's anyone coming to the shop across from me. Huang Xingdao.
"Okay, then I'll stay in the store today."
Huang Xing said that he was watching there, and he really stayed there for a day. Except for going to the toilet, he never left the window for a moment.
The hard work paid off, and he gained a lot on this day.
Not long after Xu Xi entered the silver building, he went downstairs and left in the carriage, accompanied by not only the pretty maidservant, but also a middle-aged man.
Because they have been paying close attention to the other door in the past two days, they now know that this middle-aged man is a shopkeeper surnamed Wang.
Shopkeeper Wang led a few servants on horseback, followed the carriage out of the alley, and did not know where it went.
In the second half of the day, they came back, entered the door with their front and back feet, and never came out again.
After about half an hour, it was already evening, and Huang Xing saw a carriage as gorgeous as the one Xu Xi was sitting in also stopped at the door of the store.
The curtain of the car was opened, and the maid got out of the car, turned around and helped a beautiful woman down from the car. The beautiful woman said a few words to the maid, and went through the door opposite.
