Chapter 45: Circle the Past
There are two sons in the three rooms of the Luo family, the younger one is only a few years old, he has just been enlightened, and the remaining one is a big one, who is not in good health and does not go out much all year round, so the Tong family does not know much about the situation of the two.
"Luo Hui'an?" Tian Zhaodi asked tentatively.
"Yes, this camp was his idea, and Chu Xue just helped him." Xu Jinniang explained.
Tong Chuxue wanted to refute Xu Jinniang's words, but if she denied it now, she would be tantamount to admitting lying to Xu Jinniang in disguise.
"Xu Jinniang, how do you prove that what you said is true." Zou Hongping questioned unceremoniously.
"I ......" Xu Jinniang was a little embarrassed, "I'll go and find An." β
Mrs. Luo handed Zou Hongping a look, and she immediately understood, "Wait, I'll call someone, who knows if you will collude halfway." β
Xu Jinniang saw Zou Hongping volunteering and stopped stupidly.
Tong Chuxue is really a little flustered now, after all, Luo Hui'an has nothing to do with this matter, if Zou Hongping questions him halfway, the possibility of revealing the stuffing is extremely high.
I really can't do it, so I just make up some lies to round this matter.
Soon, Tian Zhaodi called Luo Hui'an over, Xu was a little anxious on the road, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"I don't know how many elders called me, but what's the matter?" Luo Hui'an asked politely, without the slightest impatience on his face.
Tong Chuxue pinched the opportunity and interjected, "It's very hot outside, you sit down and drink saliva to moisten your throat first." β
Luo Hui'an was urged by Tong Chuxue to sit at the table, Tong Chuxue picked up the teapot on the table and poured water for him, "Come, drink more, my aunt is too anxious." β
Luo Hui'an was quite surprised to be so warmly entertained by Tong Chuxue for the first time, and stared at Tong Chuxue with a pair of eyes, wanting to see something.
This is a great opportunity!
Tong Chuxue winked at Luo Hui'an, her eyes circled around the Luo family, and her eyes were full of pleading.
I hope that Luo Hui'an can understand his hints, Tong Chuxue can only hope for this now.
Before the water was drunk, Mrs. Luo asked, "Luo boy, I have something I want to ask you, you can't talk nonsense to an old woman like me." β
Luo Hui'an put down the cup, "Grandma has anything to know, just open your mouth, Hui'an will definitely tell you." β
"Let me ask you, do you know that Tong Chuxue has a secret recipe in his hand." Mrs. Luo stared at Luo Hui'an with her eyes, not letting go of any of his movements.
"Secret recipe?" Luo Hui'an was a little dazed, "Where does this start." β
"So you don't know." Mrs. Luo asked.
Luo Hui'an's mind spun very quickly, thinking of Tong Chuxue's performance just now, and soon he thought that this question might be related to Tong Chuxue's business, so he pretended to be mysterious, "Grandma, there are some things that I can't tell you in detail, you don't participate anyway, you don't need to know so much." β
This was said vaguely and inconclusively, but it was the default meaning in Mrs. Luo's ears.
"Could it be that the secret recipe is really yours?" Mrs. Luo didn't want to believe it.
"Grandma, I promised not to tell me about it, it's not good to break my promise." Luo Hui An has a presence.
For a while, the Locke family fell silent.
Tong Chuxue spoke at the right time, "Grandma, now that the matter has been figured out, can you leave?" β
"Wait!" Zou Hongping disagreed, and faced Luo Hui'an, "You kid shouldn't have said this on purpose to cover Tong Chuxue." β
"How so?" Luo Hui'an asked unhurriedly.
"I've heard that you and Tong Chuxue often go to the back mountains to dig wild vegetables, and you have a good relationship, maybe you have colluded a long time ago." The more Zou Hongping spoke, the more she felt that the possibility was extremely high, "I'll just say how dare your Luo family follow a little girl to do business, nine times out of ten it is with that dead girl, plotting the property of our old Tong family." β
"Auntie be cautious!" Luo Hui'an's expression was grim, "Our family and Miss Tong have always had a good relationship, but it is not for profit, but I believe in Miss Tong and Aunt Xu's personality." β
"Otherwise, what's going on, don't you still understand what it is?" Zou Hongping said.
"Since my aunt must know, then I can reveal one thing, the so-called secret recipe in your mouth was obtained by me from a Jianghu traveling doctor. As you may know, I have been in poor health since I was a child, and I often see doctors, so I have met many doctors. Luo Hui'an said with great confidence.
Tong Chuxue really admired Luo Hui'an a little now, obviously he didn't have a word of truth, and he was stunned to say it as if it was true, and he was a good material for an official.
"How do you prove that the secret recipe is yours?" Tian Zhaodi asked.
"Proof?" Luo Hui'an chuckled, "If you don't believe it, you can go to the government office to beat the drum and complain about it, and accuse me of stealing the Tong family's finances, I believe that the prefect will be able to recover the Tong family's losses." β
The method of seeing officials is unthinkable for ordinary farmers.
Zou Hongping and Tian Zhaodi didn't dare to say anything in an instant, especially Tong Zhaodi, who was already weak-hearted, "Mother, forget it, just because our Tong family has a white-eyed wolf." β
Mrs. Tong was unwilling, "If you see an official, you will see an official, I don't believe that you stole our Tong family's things, and you can still win." β
Tian Zhaodi was completely panicked at this time, she pulled Zou Hongping and briefly explained a few words, and then turned around and slipped out of the door.
Tong Chuxue's confidence has increased greatly at this moment, if she makes trouble with the government, she is not afraid, no matter what, it must be the defeat of the Tong family, and she will not lose money at all.
"I've lived for decades, old woman, don't think that you can fool me with this little trick." Mrs. Tong said viciously.
Now Tong Chuxue is very leisurely, "Grandma, since you keep saying that we stole the Tong family's secret recipe, then you can tell me, what is the content of the secret recipe?" β
Mrs. Tong naturally didn't know, she stubbornly said, "It's all stolen by you, how do I know, and I don't know how to read, you are deliberately embarrassing me." β
"It's strange, grandma's family lost something, but I don't know what was lost, so that others will listen to it, I'm afraid they will think that grandma planted it and framed it." Tong Chu Snow Trail.
"What am I framing you, you little!" Mrs. Tong was provoked by Tong Chuxue's words, and said angrily on the spot.
"If grandma thinks I'm a thief, why don't I go to the yamen now and make it clear!" Tong Chuxue deliberately raised her voice, arousing Mrs. Tong's anger.
"Just go, you think I don't dare." Sure enough, Mrs. Tong was so angry by these words that Zou Hongping couldn't stop her, and she was about to drag Tong Chuxue out.
Suddenlyβ
"Enough trouble!" There was an angry shout at the door.
