Wan Jiaojiao nodded, and accurately grasped a hint in Lin Huiru's words, the two of them stayed for a long time and had nothing to say, isn't that the relationship not deep enough?

"I see, I thought that most newlyweds would stick together like glue and have endless words." Wan Jiaojiao said deliberately.

Lin Huiru thought that there was nothing to do, so it was better to tease her, "Newlyweds yes, but we have been married for a long time, and it is normal that there is no freshness." ”

"But I always feel like you don't look that old." Wan Jiaojiao asked.

"It has nothing to do with that, the main thing, there is still a novelty between men and women. Miss Wan, like me, was born in a wealthy family, and the person who wants to marry naturally has the confidence of her mother's family, but I don't know if you have heard of Miss Wan, if you marry the wrong person, how miserable is this life?" Lin Huiru pretended to be mysterious, she closed the book and asked in a low voice.

Wan Jiaojiao hurriedly shook her head, girls of this age are looking forward to perfect relationships, how can they think of these.

"Well, I'll tell you a story. I have a friend in the capital, her family is not big or small, and she is married to a well-connected person. At first, they also fell in love at first sight, but after getting married, the man's nature was gradually exposed, he used the woman's family connections to help him soar, but in the end he ignored the woman, and changed the gentle appearance, lingering in the gentle township every day, the woman stayed alone in the empty room night and night, and finally became pregnant with a child and was killed, and finally ended up jumping into a well. Lin Huiru said with a sigh of regret.

"Daughter's family, marriage is a big deal, but it's not the only thing, at least this marriage has to be considered twice. If you marry low, people will want to think of your family situation, but if you marry high, people will not take you seriously. Men, especially handsome men, are the best at two-faced, just like those beautiful women, you must not be deceived by those men. A man can marry many times, but a woman has to be pointed out once more. ”

Seeing Wan Jiaojiao sitting on the side with a collapsed face and not speaking, Lin Huiru thought that she had scared her, and just breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to continue reading.

"Then Sister Xu, since you have been married, I see that you and Lin Gongzi are sometimes like strangers, are you also very discordant?" Now it seems that this girl's mind is still full of Xu Ziqiao.

Lin Huiru was a little helpless, and after saying sorry to Xu Ziqiao many times in his heart, he began to make up the story again, "He, on the surface, looks humble and silent, but behind the scenes, he is ambitious, so we are all together wherever we go, if I leave him alone in the capital, I am still worried about whether he will put me in the air." ”

"Why is this happening? I don't see him like that kind of person, do you?" Wan Jiaojiao was still a little complacent about unconsciously bringing the topic to Xu Ziqiao, but she didn't know that she had fallen into Lin Huiru's trap.

"If he's not here, I'll just talk to you. He is an ordinary background, but he is good-looking and has been sought after by women since he was a child, which causes him to be extremely high-spirited, before me, he also used to be with a woman, and then the man couldn't bear it anymore, he repeatedly stole money, gambled and drank everything, so he reconciled with him. Lin Huiru's face was solemn.

But Wan Jiaojiao was not so easy to fall for this time, she looked at Lin Huiru with suspicion, "Sister Xu, you won't be deliberately smearing Lin Gongzi, right?" Why did you marry him if he was so bad?"

There is no doubt that the word deliberate can be removed.

"It's not good, but as long as it's taken care of, there is merit, Qianyi is my person, and he can watch him at any time. He will never leave me, he can only wait for the opportunity to do it, and he will never give up my wealth, so it is not wonderful that he can be by my side like a vase now, and it is pleasing to the eye. After Lin Huiru finished speaking, he didn't know how many times he had said sorry to Xu Ziqiao.

Speaking of this, Wan Jiaojiao is still a little skeptical, but she is inevitably a little uncomfortable in her heart. She frowned and stood up, "I suddenly remembered that my father still has something for me to do, thank you Sister Xu for teaching, I will come to play with you another day." ”

After speaking, Wan Jiaojiao slipped away as if she had fled.

Wan Jiaojiao left on the front foot, and Bai Qianyi jumped off the beam on the back foot, he looked at Lin Huiru who couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but say in his heart that women are really poisonous, "She doesn't give up if you lie to her like this, so she doesn't have a sense of threat at all?"

"Why do you have a sense of threat, Xu Ziqiao won't like her, it's useless to do more with people who don't like it, what about me, it's better to persuade you to quit than to tear your face." Lin Huiru looked innocent, she didn't read much of the book just now, and apologized to Xu Ziqiao in her heart.

Bai Qianyi smiled unprecedentedly, his smile was helpless, "If he knew that you did this, his face might be as black as the bottom of a pot." ”

"If you ask him to choose between being smeared or being pursued, he will definitely choose the former." Lin Huiru shrugged his shoulders, "Don't talk about this, did you find anything just now?"

Today, Wan Hengtong is not here, Wan Jiaojiao came to find her, and it is the most suitable time to investigate these ten thousand families.

"I found Wan Hengtong's secret room, most of the contacts with some officials in it have probably corrupted Minzhou, and the rest are all gold, silver and jewelry." Bai Qianyi said, "Nothing rare. ”

Lin Huiru frowned thoughtfully, "No, businessmen and officials are still at a disadvantage when they move around, and they should leave some officials' handles in their hands." ”

"Then the account book should be enough, there is a huge amount of money involved, and it is not the income that rice and salt can bring at all, this Wan Hengtong should be in collusion with officials, and I don't know what else to do behind my back." Bai Qianyi also lowered his eyebrows and thought about the details on the account book, some of the numbers were afraid that Lin Huiru would be surprised when he saw them.

"How many?" Lin Huiru asked.

Bai Qianyi stretched out a finger, "Just at the beginning of this month, there were 10,000 taels of walking between me and Liu Chong, I don't know what it is, it can bring them so much silver." The average monthly ledger of other people must also be around 10,000 taels, and such a number may be ......."

Lin Huiru was surprised by this number, and after recovering his mood for a moment, he sank down again, "This number is naturally not brought up by the business on the surface, and so much silver can be brought into the account, and the work done behind the scenes is absolutely not clean." ”

"Gunpowder? Illicit salt? Private mines?" The only things that Bai Qianyi can think of with a lot of profits are these.

"There's no point in guessing now, but why hasn't Xu Ziqiao come back yet, you can help me go out and find him." When I think about it, I always feel that something is not quite right. Lin Huiru frowned again, no wonder Wan Hengtong didn't care too much about the business of 10,000 catties of grain.
