"Are you hiding anything from me? About what Daddy told me. Wanqin stared at her younger brother Ye Jinrong's eyes and asked very solemnly.

Ye Jinrong looked at her suspiciously, was silent for a while, and then replied decisively: "I didn't hide anything, I said everything I had to say." If you still want to hear the foul language they scold you, then I can only continue to hide it. Even if you don't care, I don't want to dirty my mouth! ”

Wanqin let out a long sigh and said a little discouragedly: "That's it, if you don't say it, forget it." She looked at her brother again, "How many days do you have to stay in the capital?" After leaving, do you go directly to Beiping, or go somewhere else? The business is hard, even if you are determined to continue in the Xie family's business, don't always run outside, and think of finding a semicolon shopkeeper. Although your qualifications are shallow, you are also my own brother, and the fourth young master and four girls are now older, even for the sake of their decency, the master should not let you run errands outside, but arrange a more stable errand for you. When the time comes, try to stay in the capital, it is much more prosperous and stable than Beiping, and you can take care of your family nearby. Don't think I'm verbose, even if you can't get used to seeing your stepmother, your father is always close. He is already old, how many more years can we be filial to him? ”

Ye Jinrong's idea was the opposite, he didn't want to stay in the capital. In fact, Xie Pu has already arranged for him, and he will be promoted to the shopkeeper next year, either Tianjin, Cangzhou or Yangzhou's semicolon, all of which are first-class good places, and the future of the semicolon is also bright. What to do back in the capital? Do you continue to be sucked by those in your family? He can't get by?!

Ye Jinrong said impatiently: "I know, my sister doesn't have to tell me this all the time." I'm not a child anymore, I know what to expect! I will try my best to rush back to Beiping during the Chinese New Year, and then I will go to the house to visit you, the fourth girl, and the fourth young master. If you want anything, have someone send me a letter in advance, and I'll buy it for you. You are not familiar with the life in Beiping, and you are not as good as me when it comes to buying things, and you know where to buy high-quality and cost-effective goods! He paused, "It doesn't matter if Dad asked someone to talk to you later, sister...... You don't have to worry about him. I gave him silver, and I also asked the Mao shopkeeper in the capital to keep an eye on it, and my father will not starve to death! The most important thing for you at the moment is to live your own life, if you can please the master, it is the best, if not, at least don't annoy the master, delay the marriage of the fourth girl, and the future of the fourth young master. They are your closest flesh and blood! If they live well, you will have a future, sister. Don't be fooled! ”

Wanqin looked away a little weakly: "What can Dad say to me?" It's just that he can't bear to let me be so far away, so he asks me to send him letters from time to time. What to say and what not to say in the family letter, I naturally know in my heart. You'll have less to worry about! ”

"I hope sister, you really know what you have to do." Ye Jinrong took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it over, "This is some money I saved, although it is only twenty taels, but I can still do it if I buy two birthday gifts." The fourth girl's birthday is in August, which has long passed; The fourth young master's birthday is in November, and I'm afraid I'm still on the road and won't be able to catch up. My sister will take this silver and consider buying some things for the four girls and the four young masters that they like to use. He emphatically reminded, "Don't just use this money elsewhere or on some messy person!" ”

Wanqin knew what he meant, her face turned red, and she hurriedly took the cloth bag: "I know, I won't do that kind of thing." Really...... If you have money and don't keep it for yourself to marry your daughter-in-law, what do you spend on the four young masters and four girls? They don't lack good things on weekdays! The Xie family has gradually improved in the past two years, the second girl is a housekeeper and generous, and the family uses good things, where is there a lack of your courtesy? ”

"What I give is my heart, where can silver measure it?" Ye Jinrong looked up at his sister, opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything, sighed secretly in his heart, said "take care", and turned around and hurriedly got off the boat.

Wanqin watched her brother leave, feeling a little sad. She knew that this sibling brother had completely become a member of the Xie family, forgetting that he was actually from the Cao family.

But what could she say? At the beginning, she was so involved that this brother was bullied, beaten, scolded and imprisoned by the Cao family, and after he finally escaped, the Cao family couldn't go back, and it was the Xie family who gave him a new livelihood, so that he had today's family business, and also talked about family affairs. How could he still be thinking of the kindness of the Cao family? He has become a loyal partner of the Xie family from beginning to end!

In fact, not only her younger brother Ye Jinrong, but even she, the former son of the Cao family and Cao Shuqing's confidant maid, has already become the aunt of the Xie family and can never go back to the Cao family.

Wanqin remembered that her father had ordered her to report to him the information on Xie Pu's side through a letter to the family, whether it was related to the Lin family or the river yamen, or something else, but anything useful, even if it was just a trivial matter, she could tell him. He will select useful information from it and use it to curry favor with the masters of the Cao family, and strive to return to the ranks of the chief steward, at least, he must be a second-class steward, right?

He also told his daughter what channels to send a letter to his family, from the capital to Beiping, and in the big towns along the canal, there are shops, granges and other industries related to the Chengenhou Mansion, and she only needs to send the letter to the people in charge of those industries, saying that it is a letter sent to the henchmen around the eldest young master Cao Wentai, and those people will send the letter to the capital and hand it over to him.

This is a way to completely avoid the ears and eyes of the Xie family, if it weren't for the blue eyes of the eldest young master Cao Wentai, who had recently gained the blue eyes of the eldest young master, he wouldn't have been able to send those people in the industry without this blessing. He was grateful to the eldest young master in his heart, so he actively urged his eldest daughter to write more letters. If the Xie family has nothing worth saying, it doesn't hurt to mention other people in Beiping, such as the Yanwang Mansion or something, and other big families that have produced officials in the local area are estimated to be able to arouse the interest of the eldest young master......

He specially mentioned an industry in Beiping in Chengenhou's Mansion, which is a rouge shop, and the main person is a girl who has served beside the eldest young master in the past, and now her husband, Wanqin should know her, and the two meet from time to time, chat about the past, and relieve boredom.

Wanqin recalled the letter that had been burned by herself, and her heart was heavy. She wasn't a fool and couldn't have been unaware of what her father was telling her to do. Cao Wentai, the eldest young master of the Chengenhou Mansion, wants to find out the news of Beiping and Yanwangfu? No matter how powerful the Cao family was, they did not dare to attack Beiping and the northern army, or they did it once, but they did not succeed. This kind of thing is not fun, if Xie Pu finds out, what will happen to her? The Cao family is thousands of miles away, can they still save her? She also knows that Yan Wangfu is now the biggest backer of her husband Xie Pu, if the people in Yan Wangfu know that she is the eyes and ears of the Cao family and anger the Xie family, what should her two children do? !

She still thinks about the Cao family, because the Cao family has both power and wealth in her impression, and it is so powerful that it is desirable. Keyan Wangfu, that is a more noble and powerful existence than the Cao family! Even if Cao Shuqing was the housewife of the Xie family in the past, when she Wanqin was in the back house, she didn't dare to have any disrespectful thoughts about Yanwangfu, let alone now?

The eldest young master of the Cao family, what are you thinking?!
