Hu Shi said with a smile, "The one who came to the house is Hong Wei, the second master of the Xijin Bofu, and he is also the son of the Xijin Boshi. He frowned again and said with a wry smile, "Before, my grandfather's relationship with the main branch was not close, and those noble sons never went to our door when they were in the capital. But when we got here, far away, for some reason they became warm with us. The year before last, Hu Xin came to live at home for a while, and he harmed Yi'er like that, who is it. I'm so scared of them......"

Because of Hu Yi's relationship, the Hu family didn't like the people who went west to Bofu at all.

Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "Just now I saw Brother Liu Yong go to the front hall in a hurry, as if there was something urgent. ”

Hu Shi said, "Liu Yong was given to my grandfather by Hong Shizi, and when the old master came, of course he ran in a hurry." Hmph, people are in Cao Ying's heart in Han, my grandfather doesn't like him very much, but it's not good to save Hong Shizi's face. ”

I see.

Xu Lan guessed that the people behind the Yiju Restaurant first got in touch with Xijin Bofu, and after Hong Zhen was transferred here, Xijin Bofu came over to develop Hong Zhen. After all, Hong Zhen is an official here, so it is much easier to contact and do things, and officers are more useful in some places. I just don't know if the current Hong Zhen has been developed......

She hadn't heard Hu's voice before, but this time she did. Hu's heart is not so peaceful and gentle as it seems, and he spits out all kinds of wrongs about going west to Bofu, including the disdain of his husband and himself before, the harm to Hu Yi, and the annoyance of coming to the house now.

I don't know if Hong Zhen rebelled or not, but at this time, the Hu family definitely didn't know about the men, and he was not pulled in.

However, regardless of whether Hong Zhen finally betrayed the country or not, it is tragic to have such a clan and descendants, and one day he will be raided and destroyed. If you commit treason, you will die one step later and perish with the westward Bofu. Unwilling to commit treason, Xijin Bofu and Yiju Restaurant were afraid that he would reveal the news, so they would quietly dispose of him in advance.

Looking at the gentle Hu family, Hong Wen who slept soundly, and the crisp laughter of Sister Fang outside the window, Xu Lanyin's heart was very uncomfortable.

The Hong family is her true friend in this other world, and she doesn't have any interests in making friends with her family. It's not like the Min family who took advantage of it and deceived themselves, and it's not like the Hu family who asked for it. But at this time, she didn't dare to reveal a single star, and a bad one would lead to death.

When it came to Shen, Xu Lan said goodbye to her sister and brother. When passing by the front yard, I could hear the laughter of men in the hall, and I saw Liu Yong standing outside the door to serve, and he was the only one in the huge courtyard. His expression was unusually serious, as if he was ready to knock down the person who had come to eavesdrop.

Back at the shop, Xu Lanyin called Xu Dashi aside. Whispered to him that in the future, he should pay more attention to the number of drinks in Yiju, especially which officials often go there. Her rhetoric was that listening to Zhao Wu, the gold shopkeeper was inappropriate, as if he was engaged in illegal transactions. This matter must be kept secret, only he knows about it, and even the Li family is not allowed to say it, and if it is leaked, their family will be over.

After all, it is impossible for Zhao Wu to keep an eye on Yiju Restaurant all the time, and Xu Dashi, as a neighbor, can monitor them at any time.

Xu Dashi nodded very solemnly in agreement, he thought that illegal trading meant smuggling or something. I also think that Yiju Restaurant is a restaurant, and the most likely smuggling is official salt.

He whispered, "I've always been a little puzzled, looking at the gold shopkeeper on all sides, and making a wide range of friends, I don't know why the business of the restaurant has never been very good, so I don't want to be here." ”

Xu Lanyin was secretly satisfied, but he was a smart person, thick and fine, and he actually saw a little way.

At this time, it was too late to go home, so Xu Lanyin went to Yiju Restaurant to buy two catties of braised pork to eat at night, and ran into Liu Yong again.

Xu Lanyin smiled, "Brother Liu, come here for dinner?" ”

Liu Yong said with a smile, "There are distinguished guests in the house, and my grandfather asked me to order a table." Seeing that Xu Lanyin bought braised pork, he must have asked the golden shopkeeper to settle the account on the head of Hongfu, and said with a smile, "I didn't help Miss Xu pay this money, my grandfather and grandmother knew that they were going to scold me." ”

Xu Lanyin had no choice but to thank him and leave with the meat. Go back to the shop and cut a small half for Xu Dashi and his wife, and cut a small half for Gu.

The ox cart was hired, and the two families returned to Xiaozao Village. Before he left the city gate, he saw Zhao Wu from a distance, and he patrolled the streets with a few catchers led by He Zhukuai, and he was much happier at this time.

Seeing such a happy Zhao Wu, Xu Lanyin was also happy in her heart.

Several children also saw Zhao Wu, and called "Brother Zhao" and "Uncle Zhao" in their voices.

Xu Lanting was short of energy, and Xu Man's voice was too small, and they were all crushed by the big voice of the wish.

Zhao Wu also saw them and limped over. He also bought a few candy sticks on the street, but the vendor didn't dare to collect the money, so he gave a few pennies to the vendor.

He gave the sugar man in his hand to a few children, and told Xu Lanyin and Qin that he would not go home tonight and live with Xu Lanzhou. After a few people talked, the ox cart went out of the city gate.

The driver of the ox cart also knew Zhao Wu, and said with a smile, "Zhao Ye in the fishing house is handsome, speaks with a southern accent, and listens to a special Sven, as soon as he comes out to patrol the streets, many little ladies come out to see him." ”

The crowd laughed.

When they arrived at Xiaozao Village, the flowing water feast had ended, and the villagers who were full of wine and food were talking about the golden phoenix flying out of the chicken coop in groups of three. Ate a big meal for free and everyone was beaming.

Some villagers looked down on Gu Pozi as a villain, "Tsk, wearing silk and a golden hairpin, looking at the buckle meat on the table and pouting, saying that it was too fat, she was afraid of 'greasy'." Hmph, at the beginning of the banquet, she quarreled with Mrs. Tang in order to eat one more piece of fat meat. ”

But more people say that when someone's son is out, people should be proud......

At night, thunder and lightning flashed, and it rained heavily.

The heavy rain lasted for several days, and Zhao Wu did not return home. On the ninth day of the fifth month, the rain finally stopped.

Qin and Xu Lanyin were busy in the kitchen, not only Xu Lanzhou would come back today, but Zhao Wu would definitely come back as well.

In the evening, Xu Lanting stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked at it.

Hanako squatted on his legs, and Asako stood on Hanako's body, waiting with her master. They were used to Xu Lanzhou not going home often, but they weren't used to Zhao Wu not coming home for so long.

The wish was sent by Mrs. Xu, and she was also added to the camp of accompaniment.

Suddenly, Huazi's watery cry rang out, and Xu Lanting shouted happily, "Big Brother and Big Brother Zhao are back together." ”

Wishing hurriedly ran towards the house with his little short legs, "I'm going to call my grandfather, grandmother, and sister to eat at your house." ”

Zhao Wu carried the oncoming Xu Lanting on his shoulder, pockmarks pecked his hair, Huazi bit Xu Lanzhou's trouser leg, and the courtyard immediately became noisy.

Zhao Wu's injuries were all healed, and he stood at the door of the kitchen and said, "I took a few days off to accompany you to the provincial capital." Uncle He agreed, Zhang Gangdan is now thinking about how to bring down Uncle Jiang, and he can't take care of me at all, so he agreed. ”
