Chapter 457 Reckoning
As he spoke, he handed a small package on his shoulder to Chen Youyi, "There are some other things in it, and a piece of cloth, which I bought in your tailor shop a few days ago, I hope to go back and make a dress for my mother, and when my eldest brother comes, you will hand it over to him, I sometimes can't see my eldest brother on errands." ”
"Our ship transports things back and forth between the two ports, you don't need your eldest brother to come, I'll send it to the ship tomorrow and bring it back to your mother."
"Thank you, madam, I'll go back first if it's nothing."
"Let's stay and have lunch together, take the people in the capital who are more familiar to me, that is, these people who came out of Xinghua Village, it's rare for you to rest today and stay." Chen Youyi said with a smile.
Wang Er is also an honest person, scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "Speaking of which, I still want to eat your chili dishes, I haven't eaten them for a long time, that kind of dish is easy to be accepted, I said that you have settled in the capital, it is better to open a restaurant here, it must be popular, people in the capital like fresh things." ”
"Your proposal is good, we are already preparing, but there have been more things recently, and we will be too busy for a while and a half, so let's take our time in the future." Chen Youyi instructed Xiaoxue to tell the kitchen to make more chili dishes.
A few people chatted in the courtyard for a while, Qin Ziheng was a little depressed, so he found an excuse to go back to the study.
"Sir, what's wrong? Looking sullen, are you worried about the war in the south again? ”
Chen Youyi let out a long sigh, "Yes, the war in the south is losing and retreating, and Zhao Guo has taken another city, coupled with the grain and grass crisis in Chen State, it is really a little annoying. ”
"Do you think our Chen Guo will die in the country? I have heard that the tribes of the north also want to take advantage of the fire, what if they also attack us? Wang Er's face sank, it seems that he is an errand in the yamen, and he has heard a lot of news.
The two of them sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard, these things should be taken care of by the ministers of the court, how could a woman like her be in charge of national affairs?
"Who knows, there are some things that we ordinary people can't control." Chen Youyi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Wang Er, "You are on an errand in the yamen, do you know some martial artists with good martial arts?" ”
"What does Madame want Takeo to do?"
"The family's business is getting bigger and bigger, plus the old lady and Xuan'er are here, I also want to hire a few people for safety, and if something happens, there will be someone to do it."
To put it simply, Chen Youyi just wanted to hire a few bodyguards to protect her family, but in fact, she wanted to deal with Lele secretly.
"So that's the case, I know so many people, but they are all on errands in the yamen, probably won't come, and the martial arts are good......
Seeing that Wang Er was a little embarrassed, Chen Youyi thought that he couldn't find a suitable person this time, but then he heard him say, "I heard about a person before, I don't know if you remember this person." ”
"Who?"
"Do you remember the thief whose name is Wang Huan?"
"Wang Huan?" Chen Youyi doesn't remember such a person, and he doesn't remember that he dealt with bandits, "Who is he?" ”
"You forget, when we planted peppers on the sand outside the village, those bandits used to come to find trouble, and then they kidnapped Qin Huai once, and the boss of the bandits was called Wang Huan, and Lord Xu intervened in this matter, so he took the thieves' nest, and the second head of the thieves ran away, but Wang Huan blamed him and arrested him and locked him in prison."
was reminded by Wang Er like this, Chen Youyi suddenly remembered, "You're talking about that person, I remember, how could you mention him?" ”
"A few days ago, I saw him in prison, he bought some people and wanted to be released from prison, I also inquired in many ways to find out that this person named Wang Huan actually knew our master, and he was also born in the barracks, but it seems that because of some things, he had no choice but to go up the mountain to become a bandit, I have spoken to this person a few times, and I think this person is also righteous, if you really need a thug, it is better to find him."
Chen Youyi laughed helplessly, "You asked me to find a bandit to be a thug?" He has been a bandit, how can he be trusted? What if you lure a wolf into the house? ”
"You're worried, but I think this Wang Huan is also righteous, if you don't want to, you can ignore him, I'm helping you inquire."
Wang Er had lunch here, and when he was leaving, Chen Youyi asked Xiaoxue to pack some chili vegetables for him to take away, "It's not easy to be an errand in the yamen, don't worry too much about food and clothing, if you need anything, just come to me, we should take care of each other when we have something." ”
"Thank you, ma'am."
Seeing that there was no one around him, Chen Youyi waved at the baby who was leaving, and he returned to Chen Youyi's side, "Does Madame have any instructions?" ”
She lowered her voice, "Is that Wang Huan reliable?" ”
"I think it's good, if you can't believe it, you can go to the prison to have a look, and you will know when you meet, if he still has a grudge against the things of the year, then you don't need him, if you don't hold a grudge, it means that this person is still broad-minded, maybe you can use it, this person is very smart, and his skills are good."
"Okay, I'll bring some food to the prison tomorrow afternoon, and you're going to be there on an errand, do me a favor and let me meet him."
"I happen to be on an errand tomorrow, don't worry, just go, he will be released in a few days, and no one will care."
Chen Youyi nodded and let Wang Er leave, she was a little uncertain about the matter of using Wang Huan, she originally wanted to discuss it with Qin Ziheng first, but seeing that Qin Ziheng frowned all day long, and was unwilling to bother him with this matter, she thought about going to the prison to have a look first, and then making plans, who knows if that Wang Huan would agree to help him.
Early the next morning, Chen Youyi went to the dock after breakfast, and carefully looked at the goods stored there.
She is also actively trying to find a way to deal with this matter.
"Madame, the king's ship has arrived."
"So fast? I thought I'd have to wait another hour. Chen Youyi came to the dock and saw Wang Dazheng directing people to move sacks of chili peppers from the boat.
In addition to peppers, there are some other fruits, as well as silk and so on.
"Madam, I brought you all the things you wanted, I'll ask them to put them in the warehouse first, and then I'll show you the register later."
"Okay, you keep them busy, I've got something to tell you." Chen Youyi took Wang Da to the gazebo on the side and sat down, letting the others leave, leaving only two people.
