Chapter 246: The land outside the city has appreciated
Xi Hongdou has been busy with things outside the city recently, because of Han Ting's "publicity", now the land outside the city has also become a gunman, and Xi Hongdou is also here to see the bosses every day to discuss what projects they want to do. She is busy everywhere, and Mrs. Xiao can't really let her run crazy alone, so let Ruxiang be a little tail all day long, and Xi Hongdou has to follow wherever she goes.
In order to reassure Mrs. Xiao, Xi Hongdou also brought rue incense. Especially in business, she just moves her mouth, and she doesn't need to go back and forth, and others come to her if there is anything. But she is a person who hates boredom, and she is also upset when Xiao Zhi is not at home, so she takes Rue Xiang to walk around.
The few businesses she is not allowed to do are still not allowed, except for Han Ting, there are also other people who propose to make fireworks, but they are all vetoed by Xi Hongdou, and she can't control what other people love to open, and in the end, the area outside the city has changed from one restaurant to eight restaurants.
The restaurant has to be built from the beginning, but the popularity of Danjiao outside the city has also become more, and Xi Hongdou has seen that it is almost over, so he will no longer continue to rent land, so as not to make this environment a miasma.
The eight restaurants are also separated, and the advantage outside the city is that it is fresh and quiet, and if it is too worldly, it will lose interest.
"The Phantom Music Workshop is a famous music workshop in Kyoto City, and this time I heard that all the servants are going to be sent here." Shopkeeper Zhong said.
Phantom Sound Workshop is a place to listen to piano and music, although it is also an entertainment place, but the girls in it are all performers, some powerful can also choose guests, only play and sing one song a day, not like the girls in the willow lane of Flower Street, they do not sell flesh and skin. Xi Hongdou was hesitant at first, but the girl from the bad family was a performer and not a woman, and she was not good at any discrimination, so she should respond.
Now the restaurant over there is almost finished, and it is estimated that it will be able to enter in half a month.
"When the time comes, let our guys understand some rules, but they are not allowed to go to the girls of other people's families, as long as they find out, they will be driven away directly!" Xi Hongdou instructed the shopkeeper Zhong.
Shopkeeper Zhong responded: "Don't worry, our people here will definitely not go to other people's side." ”
"That's fine, I'll go back first." Xi Hongdou said hello and went out to get into the carriage first
The coachman walked a few steps and slowly stopped the car, Xi Hongdou wondered, Rue Xiang poked his head out, glanced at it, and said, "Why don't you go?" ”
"The two cars in front seem to be broken, we have to go around slowly, you and the young grandmother come down first and wait, I'm afraid that the carriage will be unstable when we pass." The coachman said to the bride.
Xi Hongdou also heard it inside, Rue Xiang took a small stool and asked Xi Hongdou to get off the carriage first, not daring to let Xi Hongdou jump down directly like before.
Xi Hongdou got out of the carriage, and the coachman slowly tried to go around, the road was narrow, and there were stones and weeds on the side of the road, and the carriage also took a little effort to get around.
As soon as the coachman parked the car, as soon as he turned around, he saw that the people in the carriage behind him were directly pulling Xi Hongdou, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly got out of the car to see the situation, don't make trouble anymore!
"You help, please!" The girl who pulled Xi Hongdou looked anxious, looking like a little girl.
Xi Hongdou was suddenly pulled and startled, so he said, "If you have something to say, you don't have to pull me." ”
Rue Xiang also said: "If you want to say it, just say it, my young grandmother is pregnant, don't be so vigorous!" ”
The girl quickly let go of her hand and said, "My girl has a sudden emergency, and the carriage can't move here by mistake, can you help send someone to the city to find a doctor?" ”
Xi Hongdou thought about it and said, "Then you can let people come over." "Just take it along the way, human life is at stake, and she can't be very desperate and not save her.
The girl hurried into the carriage and got out of the carriage with a girl, who was pale and sweaty, and looked like something was wrong.
"Get in the car." Xi Hongdou said, I want Ruxiang to help herself up, let the girl sit on the side, and it is convenient to get out of the car.
The people went up, the carriage continued to go, and the coachman's car was not fast, so the little maid said: "Big brother, can you hurry up, my girl is afraid that she can't stand it." ”
Rue Xiang said: "It's too fast and bumpy, and my young grandmother can't stand it." "Now it's embarrassing.
Xi Hongdou said: "It's okay to hurry up a little, if it's too bumpy, your girl can't stand the pain." ”
The coachman was a little faster, and when he arrived in the city, Xi Hongdou let the carriage stop at the door of a medical center.
Although the girl was so painful that she couldn't open her eyes, she still turned around and thanked her, and Xi Hongdou asked people to hurry in.
The two got into the carriage again, and Rue Xiang said, "Look at that girl, it doesn't seem like a woman from a good family." ”
Xi Hongdou asked with a smile: "You can see this?" How can you tell? ”
Rue Xiang said, "The incense on your body is not right." ”
Xi Hongdou was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What incense?" She never used incense on her, and she always felt that the spices here were more fascinating, so she didn't know much about incense.
Rue Xiang said: "That incense is cheap, and ordinary women would rather not use it than use that kind of incense, and they are well dressed, and they don't look like people who can't afford to buy a better incense, and only people in that kind of place will use it." "I can't afford to use it if it's too good, I can't use it if I don't use it, I can only use cheap ones.
Xi Hongdou was speechless: "You are going to become a sperm!" But after thinking about it, he said, "Could it be the girl from the music room?" ”
"Then I don't know, but don't make the mat that the girl made just now, and the young grandmother won't do it, I'll wash it before I wash it."
Xi Hongdou was surprised: "This is too exaggerated, right?" ”
Rue Xiang said, "It's better to be careful, I don't know what that girl does." ”
When Xi Hongdou got home, Rue Xiang was busy, and the mat in the carriage was also taken out and washed and dried.
"Why did you become more and more paranoid after getting married?" Xi Hongdou said that since Rue Xiang and Wu Da Steward's youngest son got married, they have begun to become a little numb, and a girl who used to be quite aura is now more chatty than Mama Liu.
Xiao Zhi has been gone for seven or eight days, and he has not received a letter at home, and Xi Hongdou doesn't know where to write a letter, so he can only wait.
And Xiao Zhi, who was on the other end, didn't go anywhere else, but went directly to Shuobei.
He was married to Xue Ling before, and later he taught Guo Linjiang to the Criminal Department, which also made Xue Ling suffer a big loss, but there were people behind Xue Ling, although Xue Ling's foundation was broken, but he did not completely get rid of Xue Ling.
This time he came to Shuobei, on the one hand, Yao Sheng asked him to investigate a few unclear cases, suspecting that there were people in Beijing who were covering Shuobei's lawlessness, and on the other hand, he also wanted to completely make Xue Ling unable to turn over, get rid of those officials with shit in their butts, and see who else could be threatened by those black materials in Xue Ling's hands!
The Lin brothers have also worked in Shuobei for a few years, and they are also familiar with Shuobei, and they are secretly visiting and investigating this time, and they can't go back to the yamen, so as not to be recognized by their former acquaintances and startled again, what they can do every day is to find a teahouse on the street and listen to the gossip every day.
Xiao Zhi wants to make an unannounced visit and pick someone, he must find an official who has not been an official in Shuobei for a long time to ask something, and if he has been in office for a long time, it is estimated that the black material is in Xue Ling's hands, and he will expose his whereabouts when he goes. Now that Xue Ling hates him to the core, he must also want to take this opportunity to kill him directly to vent his anger.
After running for a few days, he finally had some eyebrows, and after a comprehensive review, he returned to Beijing first, and then the specific investigation was not his job.
On the day he returned to Beijing, Xi Hongdou was waiting at the door of his house, and when he saw Xiao Zhi's carriage coming, he was finally relieved.
As soon as Xiao Zhi got out of the carriage, he came over to hug Xi Hongdou, Mrs. Xiao hurriedly pulled Xiao Zhi away, and said: "How old are you, and you are still so unstable, what kind of system will you hold on the street!" ”
Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "Then hurry up and go in, go in and hug the boss!" ”
"That's not going to work either!" Mrs. Xiao said directly: "Red beans can't do it now!" ”
Xiao Zhi was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Why can't you?" ”
Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "Let your daughter-in-law talk to you!" Wash up first, and you'll be eating in a while! Then he dodged first, and after a long absence, he was newlywed, and the little couple would definitely get tired of it for a while.
Xi Hongdou smiled and said, "I'm pregnant again, and you just found out when you left." ”
When Xiao Zhi heard this, his face was overjoyed, he hugged Xi Hongdou in his arms, and said, "I'm so happy." ”
At dinner in the evening, Master Xiao asked Xiao Zhi about the results of this trip, and Xiao Zhi said: "No problem, I will go to Lord Yao tomorrow, and then Lord Yao will make a decision!" "The most carefree thing about Yushitai is that if you shoot bricks casually and shoot accurately, then someone is unlucky, and if you don't shoot accurately, then it will be in vain, and there is no misaccusation. If the official is afraid of this and that, no one can do this job, so the most hated thing for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty is the Yushitai, and they are afraid that the Yushitai will catch the wind and be maliciously slandered.
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she said, "Okay, don't talk about this for dinner, if you want to talk about it, go to the study for a while!" ”
The father and son didn't dare to say more, watching Mrs. Xiao give Xi Hongdou vegetables, and now Mrs. Xiao is so energetic, it seems that Xi Hongdou is her own daughter, and Master Xiao and his son are accidents.
In the evening, the two of them got together and were separated for so many days, they must have to say something considerate, Xiao Zhi hugged Xi Hongdou and said, "What is the name of the child this time?" ”
"It's still early, it's less than three months, and it's too early to think of a name!" Xi Hongdou smiled bitterly.
Xiao Zhi said: "Think about it slowly, my daughter, the name can't be ugly!" ”
Soon, the news that Xi Hongdou was pregnant again spread. Mrs. Xiao must also show off when she is at the lady's tea party, and after it reaches Mrs. Chu's ears, it will naturally fall into Shao Yulin's ears.
"Your cousin-in-law is much more blessed than you, you have been in the business for so long, and you gave birth to a daughter, when will I be able to hold a grandson?!" Mrs. Chu expressed her dissatisfaction with Shao Yulin.
