Chapter 19: Second Uncle Zhao Nai

"What about people?"

Out of the lobby, Zhao Haitang was not in a hurry to go back, but led a group of maids to walk around the garden.

"Here we are."

Liu's mother on the side was lying in Zhao Haitang's ear, looking left and right from time to time.

"I'm afraid I lost this sachet somewhere, magpie, you take the girls to look for the place we just came from."

Zhao Haitang bowed his head slightly, and there was indeed only a lone red thread left around his waist. The maid who started just nodded, and didn't move half a step, she was obviously a little hesitant, and even a little doubtful of the truth of Zhao Haitang's words, staring at Zhao Haitang's waist like verification.

"What's the matter, the eldest lady can't move you?"

Mother Liu is the old man in the house, her voice is full of threats, the magpie can't help but shudder, and her mind can't help but think of the days when she first entered the house, when Mother Liu taught the rules.

"Let's go, let's go!"

The magpie fled as if it were beckoning the maids, and after a while, there were only two people left in the yard, Mother Liu and Zhao Haitang.

"This Gu Jingzhan is also a little stupid, which kidnapper's kidnapping letter is a drawing."

Zhao Haitang took small steps, and the water-dyed blue Luo skirt swayed in the wind, even good-looking. Liu's mother covered her mouth and chuckled twice. Miss is also a little difficult for a strong man, this Gu Jingzhan's follower, at first glance, is a person with no ink in his stomach, where can he write a letter, as for Gu Jingzhan, he is full of ghosts, and he must not want to write. It's not easy to draw to explain the meaning.

Zhao Haitang and Liu's mother flashed into the back of the rockery, and a tall man was holding a folding fan in his hand, but he looked like a son of a family.

"See Miss."

"Well, how's it going?"

Zhao Haitang sat directly on the big stone on the side very casually, Gao Yi was very restrained, and he kept standing straight and upright.

"Gu Gongzi is still cooperative, Zhao Gongzi has been pressed to the Ten Thousand Ghost Mountain."

Gao Yi lowered his voice, and Liu's mother stood not far away, looking back frequently with some unease.

"This is the list I put out, there are shops on it, there are also docks and ports, you can find a few trustworthy people tomorrow to find out the details of these shops and how much they are worth."

Zhao Haitang took out a stack of paper from his arms, on which some names and addresses were densely written.

These are all written by her with the memory of the previous life, and in this life, whether there are increases or decreases, in fact, she is not very clear. But at the moment, time is tight, and I can't take too much care of it.

"Yes."

Gao also took the list and turned to leave. Zhao Haitang didn't move, bent over and folded half of the grass in his mouth, swaying his legs, looking comfortable.

"Haven't you come with me yet? The efficiency of Qin's subordinates is not good. ”

"Miss, slow down, beware of slippery feet."

Mother Liu looked at Zhao Haitang lovingly, next to this is the pool, if you fall down, you will inevitably get sick.

"It's okay, it's where I've grown up playing. I know it. Let's go, go back to sleep. ”

Zhao Haitang walked unhurriedly, stopped and went, took out the "lost" sachet from his arms, and threw it straight into the lake.

Night fell, and the silence of the General's Mansion this night was terrible. Only Zhao Haitang was alone, and he had a good night's sleep.

"Is this porridge sugar?"

Early the next morning, Zhao Haitang was still eating breakfast leisurely, and the Qin family had already led a group of maids and maids, carrying large and small boxes, into the backyard.

"Sister Tang, look at your complexion so well, it seems that you are resting well."

The Qin clan was still panicked last night, but after only one night, he already looked confident.

"Erniang got up early."

Zhao Haitang pouted, this kitchen girl, she is going to change it, good porridge, what kind of sugar to put in?

"Where is the early morning, my son's life and death are uncertain, I really can't sleep, no, I sorted out the account books overnight, thinking about discussing with Sister Tang."

Qin's words are not false, her eyes are still dark, but she is worried about Zhao Ziwei or worried about the loss of her own affairs, so she can't say it.

"There are so many account books, where can I see it in one day, these years, the business in the house is being taken care of by Erniang, what shops are there, which ones can be sold in the short term, Erniang knows best, Erniang will list the name, let's hurry up and find a buyer."

Zhao Haitang didn't look at the boxes that the Qin family brought in, but just glanced at Liu's mother on the side, and Liu's mother immediately understood and found a pen and paper.

"This ...... I ...... for a while."

Qin is a little embarrassed, what shops does she want to write? I didn't sleep all night, and finally settled all the ledgers, and now Zhao Haitang told her that she didn't look at it?

"Begonia, is it Begonia back?"

At the door, there was a squeaky voice, a middle-aged man with a better complexion, sitting in a wheelchair, the wheelchair is made of tomato wood, luxurious but not tacky. Behind him, there were only two little guys following, looking like a rich son.

"Second uncle!"

Zhao Haitang originally lowered his eyes, but when he saw the person coming, his eyes immediately lit up, and he looked impatient, so he threw down the chopsticks in his hand directly, ran over, and threw himself directly into the man's arms.

"Ouch, Begonia, you're a big girl, why are you still so big and small."

The man smiled and bent his eyes, reached out and patted Zhao Haitang's back.

"No matter how big you are, you are also my second uncle!"

Zhao Haitang sniffed and buried his head in the man's arms, but there was not a trace of tears in his eyes. In the last life, her father was fighting all the year round, and it was almost Zhao Nai who played the role of this father, telling her to practice calligraphy and reading, and find a master to teach martial arts and the art of war. And in Zhao Haitang's heart, he really loves this uncle.

But how much I once loved, how much I hate now. If it weren't for him, he colluded with Erniang and framed his father, the general's mansion would not be full of questions and beheadings, and he would be so lonely.

"The second uncle has been recuperating in the back mountain all the year round, and he didn't know that such a big thing happened at home. Begonia, Ziwei, this child, has never suffered since he was a child, and now he is in the hands of gangsters, but how can he be good? Last night, the second uncle didn't sleep all night, thinking about how to make up enough for this 10 million taels of silver. ”

Zhao Nai said, handing Zhao Haitang a thin account book. The anxiety in his eyes deepened. Zhao Haitang patted Zhao Nai's hand to show comfort. But there was a sneer in my heart. Zhao Nai is worried, but it is also true, after all, Zhao Ziwei is his biological son, Erniang and the second uncle have been colluding for a long time, and Yang is against Yin, but it is a pity that her confused father is raising a son for others until he dies.

"Second uncle, what is this?"

Zhao Haitang flipped through it casually, and it recorded in detail the details of the shops and port business operated by the Zhao Mansion in recent years.

"Your second uncle has been physically disabled since he was a child, and on weekdays, his eldest brother is busy taking care of me, and I can only bother with these details. These are all sorted out by me, the situation of the Zhao family's industry, you see, whether it is useful. ”

Zhao Nai said, still looking distressed, hammering his crippled legs. But no matter how hard he tried, that set of waste legs would not hurt anymore.

"Second uncle, this is so useful, so that Erniang and I don't have to bother tidying up, and directly call the shopkeepers to transfer the store out."

Zhao Haitang looked like he had won a treasure, but his heart became more and more cold. She only glanced at it, what is the business status of other shops, she really doesn't know, but this pawnshop business, she turned over the account book page by page a while ago, and the pawnshop made money on the face, but in fact it suffered serious losses, and it was an empty shell for a long time, but the second uncle put it in a conspicuous position, writing that it was surplus every year. Such a shop, in a short period of time, there is no one to take over, he really ruthlessly asks for money and does not want a son?

"I've seen the second master."

"Madame is well."

The Qin family on the side, from the moment Zhao Nai entered the house, he stared at him for such a moment, but he can't blame the Qin family for being bold, Zhao Nai was born with a good skin, and he was a famous jade-faced son in the city back then, how many rich girls fell in love, but because of a waste leg, they never married.

"Second uncle, have you had breakfast?"

Zhao Haitang looked at the Qin clan in front of him, without hiding his emotions at all, and couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Never."

Zhao Nai shook his head, and didn't look at Qin again, Qin's eyes were obviously lost, Zhao Haitang dragged Zhao Nai's hand, pushed Zhao Nai's wheelchair, and went directly to the table.

"Second uncle, now that Haitang has been married, I know how important it is to have a person who knows cold and hot around me, my father is handsome and has Erniang to take care of, I am not worried, but you have been single, Haitang is really unbearable in her heart, Shen Wangye's aunt Lingjing Princess, has just passed the year of establishment, has never been married, can the second uncle be willing to meet?"

Zhao Haitang bent down to give Zhao Nai soup, and his words were very homely, but Zhao Nai frowned unconsciously, and the Qin family had already turned white with anger.

Princess Lingjing, who doesn't know the reason why she is not married? Back then, the first emperor originally wanted her to make peace, but General Zhao fought the main battle and directly led 100,000 iron cavalry to destroy the small country in Xinjiang in one fell swoop. Without the war, the princess who had been on the sedan chair was gradually forgotten, and the early death of the mother concubine delayed the marriage and never married.

Now that Zhao Haitang has mentioned this princess, is it intentional or unintentional?

"Haitang has grown up, and I know that I feel sorry for my second uncle, my second uncle's legs are disabled, and even childbirth is a problem, and I don't want to delay others, so it's good to live like this. The most important thing at the moment is to save Weier. ”

Zhao Nai deliberately aggravated his tone, and Zhao Haitang was not surprised. It's just that Qin's face is getting worse and worse.

"Miss Qiyu, the wealthy merchants in the city are all in the hall."

Liu's mother didn't know when she went out, but she was running away with sweat on her face.

"Second uncle, time is urgent, let's go to the front hall quickly, it's too late to run one by one, it's better to call all the merchants and buy and sell directly."

Zhao Haitang picked up the account book on the table, looked at Zhao Nai, and for a while, all kinds of emotions surged, and there was even a trace of trance.
