Shame is shame, the rules are still required, and Sixi is not very interested in these gossips, so he said with a straight face: "Then you can't leave the door open to see the excitement, what if there is a thief at home?" The Lin family's family rules and punishments for leaving the post without authorization are punished according to the seriousness of the circumstances, and the light ones are fined one month to half a year's monthly money. ”

As soon as Bai Cui heard that she was going to be fined the monthly money, the smile on her face suddenly fell, and she said urgently: "Miss Sixi, don't mind, this is my first time, for the sake of our friendship for so many years, you can spare me." ”

"What's going on?"

Outside, there was the sound of a man talking loudly.

Sixi looked up, he was wearing a beautiful blue Tuanhua Hangzhou silk robe, or he made it himself, and he was suddenly surprised and happy.

Bai Cui was taken aback, this was not a good talker, and hurriedly made his debut: "The night steward is back." ”

Nighthawk tried her best to look relaxed, but the tiredness on her face couldn't be hidden, and she didn't even raise her eyelids, so she walked in and said to Sixi, "But what happened?" ”

Sixi nodded, "It's just a little thing." ”

"The eldest lady is not in the house."

"The eldest lady went to the West Market to check the accounts, and it is estimated that she will not be able to come back until later." Sixi saw that he was tired, and couldn't help but ask: "I'm afraid that the night steward hasn't had lunch yet, why don't you go first to eat some hot soup and hot dishes to pad your stomach, and it's not too late to go back." ”

Nighthawk's eyes were soft, and he smiled at her, "Okay, there is Miss Lao Sixi." ”

After speaking, he walked towards the front yard.

Sixi didn't delay and went straight to the kitchen.

Bai Cui turned her back and pouted.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the red clouds spread like fire at the end of the sky, dyeing half of the study red.

The Hongxing Building in the capital is also on the right track, business is not bad, and Lin Mei is planning to open another branch. These days, I am busy with the arrangement of mobilizing manpower, and I put aside the investigation of the "soup woman".

Nighthawk suddenly returned, reminding her of something else.

“…… It was indeed done by the Sun family, but she was Lord Xiao's inner room, and the old slave did not dare to make decisions without permission, for fear of attracting the attention of the Xiao family. ”

Lin Mei already knew who it was, but she didn't expect to go around and around to be implicated in the Xiao family in such a way, maybe this is the fate.

There was a long table between the two, and there was a set of tea sets on the table, Lin Mei personally made a pot of tea, and poured it while laughing: "Sit down and say, this is a new tea sent by the Shi family, you can also taste it." ”

Nighthawk sat down, took the tea and took a sip, his face stretched: "Then the Sun family's life in the Xiao family is not very easy, the old lady of the Xiao family in order to hold her grandson, the second concubine is the master, the Sun family is so angry that she falls ill, and it is because of this that she has the opportunity to go out of the door of the Xiao family." Xiang Liu's matter was indeed assigned by Tang Pozi next to the Sun family, and I wanted to take people away directly, but I was afraid of alarming the people of the Xiao family. ”

Lin Mei nodded, and frowned again: "The Xiao family still has some relationship with my family, if there is no accident, I don't want to offend the Xiao family." Now that I've seen it, I'm going to let it go. ”

If it's just a grudge between the two, it's really a trivial matter, but now there is a Xiao family in the middle, no matter how the Xiao family views the Sun family, after all, it is the Xiao family, Lin Shan has just entered the court, more things are better than less, but Xiang Liu's hatred is even on the head of the Sun family.

"Have you heard of the Xiang family in southern Fujian?"

As soon as the topic changed, Nighthawk was used to it for a long time, and the master asked and answered, and when she heard that she was suddenly interested in the Xiang family, she hurriedly said: "The Xiang family started by sea, and mainly returned things to the big food. ”

"The Xiang family wants to pull the Shi family's tea into the house, and the Shi family sent someone to my opinion, I think the opportunity is good, but I am not familiar with the Xiang family, and I am not sure. Do you know what kind of competition and comparison there are in southern Fujian in addition to the Xiang family? What about relationships? ”

This is not a category that Nighthawk is familiar with, he thought about it seriously, and said: "In the early years, in addition to the Xiang family in southern Fujian, the most famous ones were the Fang family and the Chi family, and the Fang family was in-law with the Qin family in Beijing, and the Chi family was the maiden family of the second uncle of King Qi, so these two families were also the most powerful in southern Fujian, as well as the Li family and the Yu family were also good, and the Xiang family was also good, but they could only rank in the top five. ”

Hearing this, Lin Mei pondered for a moment, it seems that she has to inquire about it, although the transaction of shipping is good, but the risk is also very large, if you are not careful, the whole ship may not be able to come back.

"You said that the Chi family is the maiden family of King Qi's second uncle, so the relationship between this Chi family and King Qi shouldn't be good?"

Otherwise, King Qi would not have been so short of silver a few years ago!

Nighthawk didn't deny it, and said straightly: "The Chi family is very ambitious, thinking that the chances of King Qi ascending to the throne are very small, and then he directly got on the line with the former prince, that is, the current saint, and sent the second daughter to the palace, and the Xin nobles in the palace came from the Chi family." Now the Xin Guiren has given birth to Lin'er, and the Chi family ...... I'm afraid that the ambition is even greater. ”

Lin Mei frowned, she didn't expect the situation in southern Fujian to be so complicated, so she retreated and nodded at him.

The two talked about the Xiao family again, she still remembered that Xiao Qiming suddenly asked to marry, who knew that after many years, his career was smooth, but this back house was not very good.

But because the two families were like this, it wasn't for Lin Mei to think about it, so she thought about it again and again, and said: "In a few days, I'm going to go to Beijing, and then you can accompany me on a trip, salute first and then soldier, it's better for the Xiao family to say hello in advance, let Lord Xiao restrain the Sun family, and as for Xiang Liu's hatred, even if it goes to the head of the Sun family." ”

At this time, there is no need to fight to the death, the Sun family is now like a plate of loose sand, as long as it is blown lightly, the Sun family will undoubtedly fall, but Xiang Liu's life, the Sun family also has to have one, and it is also counted as one life worth one life.

"I heard Tong Dacai say that the second master of the Sun family is a scum, drinking and meating all day long, I think if he dies, it can be regarded as doing the right thing for heaven. I'll leave it to you, clean, and don't leave anything behind. ”

Nighthawk snorted, as if she had sent him to inquire about the situation.

"Do you still need me to inquire about that family?"

The hot potato, Lin Mei never dared to take it, and said with a smile: "Forget it, the money can't be earned, we have robbed the Sun family's business, and we have already made so many troubles, and the Xiang family has more rivals on the other side, so we don't need to take risks." ”

was talking about business, at this time, Sixi entered the house with a smile and replied: "Miss, General Liu is here and is waiting in the courtyard." ”

Lin Mei's body stiffened.

She thought about her marriage to him.

He's not here to urge marriage!

Nighthawk got up knowingly, nodded to Sixi's head, and retreated.

Lin Mei was relieved, but there was no fear between them, and said, "Please let him in." ”

With the shaking of the door curtain, Liu Dawu was dressed in dark blue civilian clothes, and he couldn't hide his anger, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

Lin Mei took a deep breath, looked up with a shallow smile on her face, and got up to greet her: "It's not that the army has arrived in Tianshui, you came so rashly, but what happened?" ”

Liu Dawu's eyes lit up when he looked at her, shining, revealing joy that people could understand at a glance. smiled: "I'll stop by and have a look." ”

Way? Tianshui is also three or four days away from Luoyang, Lin Mei thought in her heart, and suddenly became a little more stable.
