Chapter 232: Internal and external collusion

The past few days in the capital have been like a dream, revealing a disturbing sense of unreality.

Taking the carriage on the way back, Qin Xiang looked back at the high walls of the capital, and sighed in his heart.

Although everyone says that the capital is good, there are dignitaries everywhere, and opportunities to make money are everywhere, but under the overthrow of power, ordinary people are like ants. If she could, she wouldn't want to do it again in her life.

Back at the inn in the county seat, Qin Xiang felt down-to-earth, and he seemed to be alive again, he was comfortable in his bones, and he was going to drag Han Yunxiao out of the house if he was busy.

"Why don't you take a break first?" Han Yunxiao hooked her scattered hair behind her ears, and persuaded her good-naturedly: "It's tiring to travel, let's go out tomorrow." ”

"I can't wait to see the finished product." If you want to say that Qin Xiang is most worried about the thing these days, it is the sewing machine made by the old craftsman. The emergence of the sewing machine is definitely an epoch-making invention.

"You just believe he's got the sewing machine?" Han Yunxiao saw that her eyes were resolute, and she was really helpless, so she could only carry the person to the bed domineeringly. "Take a day off, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. Besides, you also said that the sewing machine is complicated. ”

Qin Xiang thought about it, but it was the same, so he rubbed it on the soft pillow.

"Then I'll take a hard rest."

Han Yunxiao saw that she had stopped, so he went out lightly. When I came back, I had some hot food in my hand. But the woman who said 'reluctantly' just now has already gotten into the quilt and slept soundly.

Reluctantly put down the hot food, and tucked the quilt for Qin Xiang again, Han Yunxiao went out because he had an appointment with someone.

As soon as a person dressed as a coachman in the lobby of the passenger station saw Han Yunxiao appear, he showed a joyful and crying expression.

God knows how uncleaned those cubs were. He finally planted it in their hands this time, and he was punished three times! Naturally, he got it back from him.

The next time he goes back, I'm sure I'll give them some color!

"The owner!"

Han Yunxiao didn't look at him, and walked towards the door indifferently.

Seeing this, the coachman hurriedly followed: "The subordinates have already prepared what the owner has asked them to do." The land is selected in the vacant land next to Old Man Yang's house, when do you think it is appropriate to start construction? ”

"Li Zhi." The low voice was full of displeasure, Han Yunxiao squinted at him, and the corners of his lips were coldly hooked: "It seems that the triple punishment still hasn't made you learn to be smart." ”

Li Zhi scratched his ears and cheeks, he really didn't know what he had done wrong.

He has tried his best to meet the owner's requirements, why is he still not satisfied?

Han Yunxiao looked at his stupid appearance and snorted coldly: "Go back and get the punishment!" ”

"The owner...... Why don't you tell your subordinates, what's wrong with me? ”

"It's stupid." The lady doesn't want to go home now because of Old Man Yang, if he puts the house next to Yang's house, what good life will he have? As soon as Han Yunxiao thought of this, he felt that Li Zhi's stupidity was hopeless, so he simply buried it.

Li Zhi felt a chill in the forest, and he searched everywhere, but he couldn't find the source of the threat.

Could it be that he has been with the owner for a long time, and his alertness has decreased?

"The subordinates went back to receive the punishment. It's just the matter of the land...... "I can't even do this little thing, and the owner won't let him follow him in the future."

"Someone else will do it."

The two went to the teahouse on the street and went straight to the second floor.

When the man in the cloak saw the two, he hurriedly got up to greet them. Seeing Li Zhi's face full of bitterness again, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

"How's it going?" Holding the tea cup, Han Yunxiao asked with a cold expression.

The man in the cloak hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I vaguely found that this matter is not only implicated in the palace, but also seems to be somewhat implicated with the queen." ”

"What else?"

"The delay in appointing the crown prince has led to fierce fighting between various factions. The party system is chaotic, and it is not clear which faction this person belongs to. However, given the large amount of official silver and tribute in the last shipment, I suspect that the Sidi's may have intervened. ”

"Sidi!" Han Yunxiao clenched his fists angrily, "My dynasty has been fighting with Xidi for many years, and the border soldiers are guarding the country, and now there are moths breeding in the court, and there is collusion with the Xidi people!" ”

"That's my guess, and I can't take it seriously. However," the man in the cloak paused, frowned, and said, "The lady who died in the palace a few days ago has something to do with the Chen family. This Chen family is not simple. The ancestors of the Chen family belonged to the same family as the Cheng family, and later changed their surname to Chen due to the war.

In this generation, the daughter of the Chen family married into the Jin family, but she took the opportunity to reap a lot of benefits from it. Jin Porcelain, the current head of the Jin family, turned a blind eye to the relationship between husband and wife, and endured it for a few years. But a few days ago, the Cheng family took the opportunity to mess up a big deal for the Jin family. Jin Ci simply took advantage of the 'Seven Outs' to reconcile with the Chen family, and it is said that he received some compensation from the Cheng family. ”

After hearing this, Han Yunxiao's eyebrows moved slightly, and he chuckled: "Merchant." ”

He chose to cooperate with Jinci at the beginning, also because this person is in business, although he has some calculations, but he can barely be regarded as a clear calculation of the transaction, and it is quite straightforward. Compared with the ill-gotten gains made by the Cheng family over the years, Jinci is still a good partner.

If Jin Jieyu was arranged by the Chen family in the palace, this death would definitely disrupt the plans of the people behind the scenes.

"Keep an eye on the palace, and report it as soon as there is a rumor."

"I'll save it."

Han Yunxiao was satisfied, and told him: "Help me buy a piece of land and build a house." ”

The man in the cloak was slightly surprised: "The owner plans to live in Xijing?" ”

The name of this county is Xijingfu, because it is in the west of the capital, and it has rubbed the fame of the capital. However, this is also a major road, don't look at it as a small city, but it is very prosperous.

"Intention to move the industry to the vicinity of the capital." Han Yunxiao got up as he spoke, and said again: "Take Li Zhi back and educate him well." ”

When he left the teahouse, the man in the cloak looked at Li Zhi: "You were punished last time you went back with me, what happened this time?" ”

Li Zhi pulled the corners of his mouth and said helplessly: "Probably unlucky?" ”

In the inn, Qin Xiang hadn't woken up yet.

After Han Yunxiao went to see it, he found a notebook of Qin Xiang to pass the time, and sat down by the window.

It wasn't until twilight that he heard the sound of Qin Xiang waking up, pressed the corner of his eye, and then turned his head.

Qin Xiang slept very sweetly this night, and he wouldn't want to get up if he wasn't hungry.

"Xianggong?"

"I'm here." When the words fell, Han Yunxiao had already sat down on the edge of the bed and pulled a coat to put on her. "You've been sleeping a little long."

Qin Xiang was also a little embarrassed, his face was slightly pale, "I couldn't sleep in the post house for a few days, I always felt that I was not in my own territory, and my heart was not steady." ”

What's more, she had a conspiracy theory in her heart, and she always felt that the royal people were uneasy and kind.

"I've slept for so long, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night." The man touched her cheek and said thoughtfully.

"That's right." There's no entertainment here at night, so wouldn't you be bored to death lying in bed? Qin Xiang pressed his belly and coquettishly squeezed him: "No matter what, it's important to fill your stomach first." ”

The dinner was very rich, and Qin Xiang especially liked one of the moxibustion hares. The barbecue sauce used on it is very special, with garlic aroma and sweet and sour taste, she eats half of it herself, and she can't stop.

If you are not careful, you will eat too much.

Pressing his bulging belly, Qin Xiang said with annoyance: "I wouldn't have drunk that bowl of chicken soup if I knew it." ”

"I'm out for a walk, I heard that there is a celebration today."

"Celebration?" Qin Xiang was curious, "I haven't heard of it before." ”

"It's just a local event in Xijing, in order to worship the god of fire." Han Yunxiao casually pulled out an allusion, which made Qin Xiang listen to it with relish.

"It's a pity that I was so full that I didn't have a chance to taste the food on the street."

Han Yunxiao snorted lightly, "If you move to Xijing in the future, there will always be a chance." ”

Although Xijing is a small place, it is also a capital city, and the celebration of worshipping the god of fire is still very lively. In addition to some programs that can be enjoyed, such as releasing river lanterns, fireworks are naturally indispensable.

Qin Xiang also saw that under a large mulberry tree covered with red cloth, it was crowded with men and women.

When I look at this situation, there is nothing I don't understand. Hurriedly tugged at Han Yunxiao's sleeve, and whispered with a gossip on his face: "Look, this must be a wish for marriage." ”

"How so? What if they are seeking money? ”

"If you want money, how can there be so many young men and women with ambiguous faces." The appearance of the first love is simply unsightly.

Qin Xiang hurriedly looked at his father-in-law. Well, not bad, not bad. Handsome and chic, very much in line with her aesthetics.

Xijing is not big, and it won't take long to walk around.

Qin Xiang also made a lively move by the river, bought a river lantern, wrote a note praying for the happiness and health of the whole family, and put the river lantern into the river.

Han Yunxiao stood aside and waited quietly, lest she accidentally fall into the river.

The man with a long body and a majestic instrument, even if he only wears a simple robe, attracts the women who pass by to stop frequently. Some of them are bold, encouraging each other, and they want to come forward and talk to each other.

But before he could put it into action, the man with a cold and arrogant face suddenly raised a gentle smile, took a little woman's hand and went into the crowd.

"Alas, good men marry early."

Qin Xiang naturally didn't know that someone envied her good luck, found a good man to marry, and was enthusiastically sharing today's results with Han Yunxiao.

"I think if you want to choose a house, it's better to design it yourself."

Although she thinks that the aesthetics of the ancients are very online, the design of the house is the same, which is too boring. And some of the designs are not convenient.

"Then let the lady design." Although Han Yunxiao didn't understand this, he also believed in Qin Xiang's choice.

"I'm going to design a home that works for us."

The word home made the husband and wife smile sweetly.

On the way back, my steps became more and more brisk.

Because there is a celebration tonight, the inn is also very lively. When the two entered the room, some of the tenants did not return.

Qin Xiang bathed and changed clothes, planning to read a few pages of script, and a hot human body rubbed over beside him. Before she could react, the book in her hand was snatched away, and the person was pressed on the bed. When the breath is swept away, the man uses his internal force to extinguish the candle.

After a while, there was an ambiguous movement all around.

Outside the window is lively, and inside the tent is also a noisy scene.
