Chapter 255: The Uneasy Lord

Zhao Wu'er didn't dare to hide when he was red, and sneered, "Relax with my sister and don't defend yourself, you won't be like this to others." Sister, don't be angry, I lost my words just now, my aunt is Uncle Xu's daughter-in-law, and she has nothing to do with others. Feeling that the word "Uncle Xu" was too slippery, he hurriedly added, "I call you Uncle Xu, that's right." ”

Xu Lanyin was still thinking about Wang Yi, so she didn't hear the loophole in his words, and asked, "Do you know Wang Yi?" ”

Zhao Wu nodded and said, "Wang Yi used to be my father's subordinate, I saw him many times when my father was alive, he was dark and strong, and he had a short temper. They all married their later wives, and when they talked about firewood...... Oh, auntie, and a 'my first daughter-in-law'. I've heard that a lot, and I still remember it. He added, "Sister, the identity of the aunt must be kept secret, that Wang Yi is not a worry-free lord, and he is extremely loved by the eldest princess." If he knew that his aunt was still alive, he wouldn't let it go easily. ”

Xu Lan was so angry that her liver hurt, and she said, "That nasty embryo, it's shameless to say this, I've married a few wives, and I still think about other women." After taking a sip of tea, he said, "I think Wang Yi has taken a fancy to my mother because of the bureau set up by Chai Zhengguan and the Shen family, and Wang Yi can't get rid of the hands of those two people when he made a scandal before marrying." They just want to force my mother to death and withhold my dowry...... It's just that it's been a long time, and it's not easy to check. ”

Zhao Wudao, "As long as you do it, there will always be traces, and I will pay attention to it in the future." I thought to myself, I didn't need him to pay attention, and the old demon would investigate when he regained his freedom.

Xu Lanyin said, "I think so too. But I'm a boudoir daughter, and some things are inconvenient to do. In the future, you will help me keep an eye on Chai Zhengguan and Shen's affairs. ”

Xu Wu nodded and said, "This is natural. He hesitated again, "However, the aunt and Wang Yi have been hired by three media, and the Chai Mansion has not returned the dowry of the Beiyang Eldest Princess's Mansion." Even if it is found out that Chai Zhengguan and the Shen family have done something in the middle, as long as Wang Yi bites to death, your mother will not be able to get out. ”

Xu Lanyin sighed, "I know this is a tricky matter. But I don't want my mother to live secretly for the rest of her life, she is not wrong. We gather evidence first, and we will always think of a way. He asked again, "The Mansion of the Eldest Princess of Beiyang was not involved in that big case."

Zhao Wu shook his head and said, "I haven't heard that the Beiyang Eldest Princess's Mansion is involved, even if there is, it will not be deep, and it is unlikely to have a big impact." ”

Xu Lanyin was disappointed. If Wang Yi is involved and beheaded, everything will be easy.

Thinking of Zhao Xingchen, Zhao Wu felt that it was too coincidental, and said, "My aunt is from the Chai family, then you and Xiaoxing are relatives, and you are really his aunt." ”

Xu Lanyin said, "It's not just such a coincidence. Before, I thought that if we saved Little Star, the eldest princess of Nanyang would help. Now it seems that even if she is willing to help, if Wang Yi is stubborn, some things will be difficult to do. ”

Xu Lanyin in Zhao Wu's eyes has always been optimistic and confident, seeing her helplessness and frustration at this time, she relieved, "Sister, don't worry, no matter how difficult it is, we will think of a way to punish the wicked and let the aunt be a ...... person openly."

The two talked late, and when they heard the coughing sound of chess outside the door, and then heard the sound of playing in the distance, Zhao Wucai got up and left.

After a bumpy ride in the car all day, Xu Lanyin was very sleepy, but she didn't sleep well this night. The next day his eyes were red and listless.

Zhao Wu said distressedly, "Why don't you take a break for half a day?" ”

Xu Lanyin shook his head and said, "It's important to be in a hurry, you can sleep in the car even if you are very sleepy." ”

After running on the road for two days and resting for one night, the group finally arrived in the capital at dusk on March 29 and entered the capital before closing the city gate.

When He Dong led them to a courtyard in Minhu, it was already dark.

This is a second-entry house, located in the market alley, guarded only by an old couple, who both know the He Dong brothers.

Zhao Wushu lives here temporarily, and in the future, Zhao Wu will buy his own house in the capital and move there.

Zhao Wu, He Dong and He Xi lived in the front yard, and Xu Lanyin and Zhangqi lived in the west wing of the inner courtyard.

The old couple didn't expect to come, there was nothing to eat at home, and there was nowhere to buy it when it was dark, so they could only put down a few bowls of somen noodles and lay a few eggs.

He Dong said with a smile, "It's troublesome to the old man and the aunt, the plain noodles are very good, and the portion is sufficient." ”

Zhao Wu said again, "Please ask the eldest lady to boil more hot water and send it to Miss Xu." ”

Xu Lan has been running on the road for a few days because of her love for cleanliness, and she definitely wants to take a good bath.

It rained again during the night. Hearing the sound of ticking rain, Xu Lanyin felt very down-to-earth. If they're on the road, they're going to have to delay their trip again.

The rain didn't stop the next day, and Xu Lanyin and Zhao Wu still decided to go to the Hundred Herb Hall.

Xu Lanyin was wearing a half-old green dress, the black veil grass was wrapped in cloth, and a layer of oiled paper was wrapped in her arms outside, and she went to the front yard to take a carriage with an oil-paper umbrella.

He Dong was wearing a robe and a hat to catch the car, and Zhao Wu was already sitting in the car.

He Xi went to walk around the capital and got acquainted with it as soon as possible. He Dong and He Xi have only been to the capital once, and they still go to Fujian to do business, and they are not very familiar with the streets and alleys of the capital.

When he arrived at the door of the medicine hall, Zhao Wu got out of the car first and opened the oil-paper umbrella before letting Xu Lanyin get out of the car. Because of the people coming and going here, he didn't dare to reach out to help her.

The Herb Hall is located in a residential area and is a renovated house. Ten upside-down rooms have been opened up as a medicine hall, specializing in selling medicines. From east to west, there are rows of inaccurate medicine cabinets, and many people are queuing up to pick up medicines.

Zhao Wu directly said that he had something important to find the shopkeeper Wan, and an apprentice who was picking up medicine led them through the medicine hall and walked backwards.

The courtyard is very large, and there is a hundred-year-old tree with lush foliage in the middle of the courtyard, and the thick trunk of the tree can only be surrounded by four adults. The east and west wings are medical halls, and each hut has a single door, and the doctor sits in it to diagnose patients. Even if it rains, you can see that there are many patients. The surroundings are filled with a strong medicinal fragrance, and everywhere shows the charm of a century-old medicine hall.

Walk through the verandah and the moon gate to the second courtyard, the second courtyard is smaller than the first courtyard, very quiet, this is the place where the medicine steward works. I heard that the third entrance is the medicine hall, and it is also the core place of the hundred herb halls, and idlers are not allowed to enter.

In the verandah, several men were whispering.

The apprentice said to a man in his forties, "Shopkeeper Wan, this young master and the girl said that they have something important to do with you. ”

The shopkeeper is thin, has a goatee, and has an elegant temperament, not like the shopkeeper, but like a gentleman.

Shopkeeper Wan didn't know them, thinking that they should be here to sell medicine. He said, "You're here to sell medicine, aren't you?" Just look for this Master Tong. ”

He pointed to an old man in his fifties next to him.

Xu Lanyin curtled her knees to the shopkeeper Wan, and said with a smile, "It was a grandfather surnamed Zhang who asked me to come to the Hundred Herbs Hall." He said that that kind of medicine is only known by 10,000 shopkeepers. ”
