Chapter 091: Attack from both sides

Mei'er stood by the window for a while, then returned to Fei'er and sat down, peeled a chestnut for her and handed it over, and said, "Girl, the slave has been here for so many days, and I haven't seen the master once!" I don't know what kind of character he is, how can he be so mysterious? ”

As soon as the old man was mentioned, Scarlet Er had a little inconspicuous disgust on her face, and she just heard her say lightly: "Wouldn't it be better if he didn't come?" With that, he grimaced and turned his head to look away.

Mei'er ate a soft nail, then lowered her head and stopped talking, still peeling chestnuts in her hands.

Fei'er has been in the Liu family for half a year, and she has never gotten along with those northern women. Although she and Mei'er's hometown are one in the south of the Yangtze River and one in the north of the Yangtze River, they are still a little closer than others here. In addition, she already likes this clever and well-behaved eyebrow, and when she saw her hanging her head silently, she was a little soft-hearted, so she said: "Our master is a businessman, but he doesn't seem to be an ordinary businessman." ”

As soon as Mei'er heard this, she became interested, and hurriedly raised her head and looked at Fei'er curiously and asked, "Why is it not an ordinary law?" ”

Fei'er didn't like to mention these things, but when she saw that Mei'er was on the rise, she couldn't bear to splash her cold water, so she replied: "Actually, I don't know much about it, it seems that his business has something to do with the royal family!" ”

Mei'er couldn't help but sigh: "Royal? Oh, then our lord is really an incredible character! We've had the privilege of being with the royal family in this life......"

Scarlet smiled and said, "You girl, why do you like to inquire about that man!" We don't understand, what are you doing with this tongue? Tell us about yourself. Who else is in your family? ”

As soon as he heard this, Mei'er's little face, which was still smiling brightly, immediately collapsed. I saw her lower her eyes and said slowly: "There is no one at home anymore...... I entered Beijing with my sister at the beginning, but now there is only one slave left...... and then I couldn't go on, it seemed to be miserable.

"Alas...... Why shouldn't I......" Scarlet thought of her life experience, and couldn't help but feel sad.

originally had a good conversation, but it was related to this miserable life world, so the two were relatively speechless and sighed. After a long while, Mei'er wiped her tears and said, "Alas, let's not talk about this." If the old man comes and sees this, he will think that something is wrong! Maybe I'll blame the slave for not serving a good girl......"

"That's not going to ......" Scarlet waved her hand and said, "My lord has been to Jiangnan for a few days, and he won't be able to come back for a while." ”

"Gangnam? Why didn't the girl go along? Maybe I'll be able to go home! ”

Scarlet shook her head and smiled, "That's impossible!" I heard that this time it was because of the annexation of some property of the Liu family by the Zhan family in Jiangnan, and the matter seemed to be very serious, otherwise the master would not have rushed there in person. Didn't you see the thunderous jump when the old man left...... Who would dare to ask him for anything......"

Mei'er nodded his head suddenly, and echoed in a loud voice: "Alas, this big business is big, and troubles are also indispensable......

"Isn't it...... Scarlet said again, "In addition to dealing with business matters, the master seems to have dealings with some Jianghu figures." ”

Mei'er's eyelids jumped quickly, and then he bit a chestnut casually and said with a smile: "What the girl said is really interesting, it sounds like a story...... I don't know what kind of characters it is? ”

"It's just a few words, and I don't hear it very clearly. I heard him say to his subordinates that this person is very powerful in the rivers and lakes, and he must be invited as soon as possible...... That's it, let's not talk about it, we don't understand it. ”

I saw Mei'er get up and put the chestnut shells scattered on the table together, and said, "Girl, I'll go and ask Xiaozhu to clean up these things, and then go to the stove room to see if your soup is stewed." ”

"Go and come back, it's cold outside." Scarlet waved her hand absentmindedly.

As he spoke, Mei'er put on a thick cotton robe, pushed the door and walked out.

No one noticed that a quarter of an hour later, a pigeon quietly flew over the backyard of the Liu family.

At this time, in the study of the Lin family's pear garden, Lin Mubai and Guanyun father and son were discussing things.

I saw Guanyun holding a small scroll of paper in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "I said why can't I find this Lord Liu, it turns out that he went to Jiangnan quietly!" While speaking, he saw that his father's expression was determined, and Guanyun immediately thought that the Zhan family was also involved in this matter, and suddenly he suddenly realized, and asked eagerly: "Daddy, isn't it ......?"

Lin Mubai smiled and didn't answer, just comfortably savored the steaming tea in his hand. Although he didn't speak, he looked like this, and the answer was self-evident.

"But...... Although the Zhan family is wealthy, the Liu family is an imperial merchant after all. Is it a bit too bold and reckless for them to openly challenge the Liu family's business like this? Guanyun still had some doubts in his heart.

Lin Mubai replied: "Of course, it is impossible for them to take such risks." Naturally, there are people in the back to support them, so that they can do things with confidence in the front. ”

"This is the backing ...... It can't be you, right? Guanyun was a little unconvinced.

"How is that possible, I don't know how to do business." Lin Mubai shook his head with a smile and replied, "I can only be regarded as a middleman." The real person behind the scenes is Lord Tobe. ”

"Oh-" After an exclamation, Guanyun laughed knowingly.

The daughter of Dong Mingguang is the new favorite Dong Guiren in the palace, and she is naturally incompatible with Concubine Chen, who was born in the Liu family. And Dong Mingguang, as the secretary of the household department, is in charge of all financial matters such as the territory, fields, and taxes in the world, so it is really suitable for him to support the power of the Zhan family behind his back with his authority, and then the Zhan family will come forward to deal with the Liu family. Dong Mingguang, who originally wanted to fight for more interests for his daughter and family, inadvertently got involved with them, the three princes and the party.

Guanyun said approvingly: "Doing this, it can be regarded as bypassing the frontal attack, and instead copying it from the backyard of the Liu family." ”

Lin Mubai shook his head and said, "No, this should be regarded as a two-sided attack." Didn't you read what the thrush letter said? That Liu Muzhi has already begun to contact the people in the rivers and lakes, and I am afraid that he is going to attack someone again. ”

Guanyun was puzzled: "But, didn't you say before that the Liu family didn't dare to make it too obvious?" Once the emperor's suspicion was aroused, wouldn't it be in vain for their years of hard work? ”

"That's right. But looking at the current situation, I am afraid that they are a little anxious. Either way, it's better to be careful. The next step is to wait for the thrush to find out some more news. ”
