Chapter 266: Resentment
Xu Qinghuan was thinking about it in his heart, and he saw Song Chengxuan riding over.
He sat majestically on horseback, his waist straight, his eyes were cold, his face was as heavy as water, and his slender eyes were slightly squinted, so that people could not see his emotions, and he was no different from what he had looked before.
After the last drunkenness, she and Song Chengxuan have not met, thinking about the scene of the day, she is still a little worried, will she be embarrassed when they meet next time.
But now it seems that this incident has no impact on Song Chengxuan at all, maybe he doesn't remember what he said to her that night when he woke up.
Xu Qinghuan exhaled softly, and the stone that was pressing on her heart was removed, since Lord Song was so indifferent, she didn't have to be too nervous.
She raised her head to look at him, her eyes were still so clear, and she smiled slightly politely, since she was rescued by him once in Jingzhong, her attitude had changed to this way.
Song Chengxuan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
After talking all night, she forgot it all in the blink of an eye?
Even if his drunkenness was an accident, his performance was substandard, and it insulted his former majesty, she didn't have to be so understanding, as if nothing had happened.
Song Chengxuan's gaze was a little deeper.
Xu Qinghuan saw Song Chengxuan galloping over, thinking that when she was in Beijing, she was afraid of implicating him, so she turned a blind eye on the street, as if it caused a lot of unhappiness to Lord Song, and this time she must say hello in advance, so according to the etiquette, Xu Qinghuan put down the curtain and whispered: "Lord Song." ”
When he approached, the curtain was lowered.
It's good that she always remembers the rules so clearly in front of him.
Song Chengxuan frowned slightly and did not speak, and walked straight in front of Xu Qinghuan's carriage.
Xu Qinghuan looked at the tall figure and swept by, and couldn't help blinking, Lord Song didn't seem to be very happy today, what was it that made him uncomfortable?
Lord Song's heart is a needle under the sea, she has never been a person who embarrass herself, since she can't figure it out, she doesn't have to think about it.
Seeing that Song Chengxuan had left, Wang Yuchen said: "Today is the birthday of the Seventh Lady, is the eldest lady going to pass." ”
The seventh lady sent the post to her yesterday, and now that the matter has come to an end for the time being, she is about to rush to the Jiang family, thinking about it, Xu Qinghuan is about to speak.
I only heard the sound of footsteps, and then someone said: "Second master of the Wang family, the adults are invited." ”
Which adult?
Wang Yuchen couldn't help but feel a little strange, in order to have time to talk to Miss Xu today, he soaked in the yamen for several days, and told Zhang Xing the day of arrest from beginning to end, everything was very clear, and when he came out of the house this morning, he also instructed the family members: "Unless the elders are sick, don't come to him." ”
He had already arranged everything he could think of, and finally arrived in front of Miss Xu, but he didn't expect someone to pass him over.
Wang Yuchen's face sank: "I'm tired of asking, which adult is it?" Lord Han Hoon? ”
The messenger shook his head: "Second Master Wang doesn't care about it for now, just wait with me." ”
"Can you let me for a few hours," Wang Yuchen said, "let me deal with the matter at hand." ”
"No," the man said with a tough attitude, "Second Master Wang, don't say more, go with us quickly, in case something happens, none of us can afford it." ”
Xu Qinghuan also felt strange when he heard it, and couldn't help but look in the direction where Song Chengxuan disappeared, and the yamen suddenly found Wang Yuchen, what is the so-called matter?
The man took out the waist card of the government, and Wang Yuchen couldn't shirk it anymore, so he had to salute Xu Qinghuan: "I thought I wanted to send the eldest lady to the Jiang family, but now that there is something wrong, I have to take the first step." ”
Xu Qinghuan said in a low voice: "Second Master Wang is polite. ”
Wang Yuchen reluctantly stood aside, watched the carriage gradually disappear in front of him, and then turned his head and asked the yacha: "Where are you going?" ”
Yacha walked forward first.
……
Xu Qinghuan took the car to Jiang's house.
The Seventh Lady personally came to the Hanging Flower Gate to welcome her, although it was her birthday, but at such a juncture, the Jiang family did not prepare anything, not even hung out the red lanterns, only held a banquet at home, and the banquet was also vegetarian.
"Originally, I didn't want to do it," the Seventh Lady said, "The war is not over, where does the mind come from, the whole Changzhou people are panicking, if it weren't for the pressure of the government, there would have been people out of the city to avoid the disaster, if this is the case, someone will definitely starve to death this winter." ”
When the people go out of the city, there is no one to do the farming work anymore, and there is no harvest at the end of the year, so naturally many people will go hungry.
"Thanks to An Yihou for stabilizing the war," the Seventh Lady said this, pausing slightly, "and the eldest princess, the horse master, is also a rare good official, who can think about the people, and just a few days after coming to Changzhou, he sent the Changzhou prefect to prison." ”
Speaking of this, the seventh lady's eyes lit up slightly: "It seems that the imperial court has really made up its mind to rectify Changzhou this time." ”
As soon as the Changzhou prefect falls, those officials installed by the Zhang family will also be found out one by one, and the refreshments of the Changzhou prefect have made the people of the White Dragon King take advantage of the loopholes, even if the Zhang family is powerful, they can't hide the peace and suppress these things again, not to mention that it is the eldest princess who investigates the case, the overseer appointed by the emperor himself.
The Seventh Lady continued: "This time I am not only for my birthday, but also to raise some food from the hands of the merchants to send to the imperial court. ”
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "Food is the most important thing in the war," she raised her head when she said this, "Madame is not just going to deliver food, right?" ”
"I can't hide it from you," the Seventh Lady laughed, "and I was about to discuss this matter with you. ”
Xu Qinghuan didn't interject and listened carefully.
The Seventh Lady said: "We want to present the grievances of the past few years to the master of the horse, as well as ...... How to restore business at sea after the war, these things are all imminent, and they are also the lifeblood of our merchants, who did not dare to say it with the imperial court before, that is because these are all under the control of the Zhang family, but now it is different, do not take this opportunity to say, when will it be? ”
The words of the Seventh Lady are naturally reasonable, they have been suppressed for so long, and they have finally waited for such an opportunity, no wonder they can't hold back.
The Seventh Lady continued: "No one knows better than us what the trading situation is at sea, if everyone can act according to the rules, smuggling will not be rampant, not only for us merchants, but also for the imperial court, right?" ”
Xu Qinghuan nodded, that was natural.
Smuggling has long been a problem for the court and the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they investigated the case in Beijing, and chased it all the way to Changzhou, just to find out the smuggling case, not only them, but also how many officials offended the Zhang family and lost their official positions and lives.
Now that there is finally a turning point, how can it not make people happy, the person who digs out the tumor for the Great Zhou with a sharp blade will inevitably get the trust of the emperor and the support of the people.
