"Wealth turns empty, glory is a dream!" Miss Xue Er, who got up after a nap, sat under the porch, thinking about the words she heard from nowhere, and said with emotion, listening to the noisy greetings outside a wall, she sighed with a rare sigh of emotion, and looked at Miss Xue who was talking to the servant not far away.
The servant woman held a white cloth in her hand, square in size, with a branch hooked on it, which looked like a banner cloth from a distance, and looked extremely unlucky, like a white cloth that is needed for white things.
Miss Xue was frowning and reprimanding the servant woman with a calm face: "Grandfather is fine, what are you going to do?" I didn't touch my brow. β
The servant woman snorted: "Miss, the little guy in the back kitchen is ignorant and playful, so he hung the used cloth on the tree, and quickly ripped it off when he saw it." β
Miss Xue Er opened her mouth and yawned on the side, and saw several officials looking here from time to time.
In addition to saving face, the two sisters didn't even give each other a straight look, and after reprimanding the servant woman, Miss Xue walked to the official and said a few words, as if apologizing.
The officials will not embarrass her, the Xue family will not fall for a day, and it will be the Huaiguo Mansion for a day, not to mention, doesn't the Xue family still have a gold medal for avoiding death? Until the end, these officials will naturally not embarrass Miss Xue.
It wasn't until Miss Xue left that the officials spoke.
"The white cloth just now was picked up and shaken, and from a distance, Lord Wang saw it, and asked me to come over and have a look," said an official, "It turned out that there was such a trouble." β
The official on the side followed: "Yes, if I didn't say it, I would have thought that someone was marching the order!" β
"What does this military order have to do with it?" The official who spoke first asked.
The man said: "That's what the communication flag in the barracks is about, dangling around, I've seen those training soldiers from afar, although I can't understand it, but it's not just me who was shocked, even Master Cui said it was like a marching order!" β
The official who spoke first laughed: "It's just a farce." β
"yes, a false alarm."
After saying a few words, the officials shook their heads, and were about to go back to life, but they heard someone behind them "Huh", and when they raised their heads, they hurriedly raised their hands to salute: "Lord Wang." β
I don't know when Wang Xu came over and how much he saw.
Wang Xu nodded, looked at the back of Miss Xue leaving, turned his head to look at the wall behind him, stretched out his hand, seemed to gesture for a moment, and suddenly said: "Go and call the door guard, the official has something to ask." β
When the official at the door was brought over, he still looked at a loss.
After the ceremony, Wang Xu asked him, "Who is passing by outside?" β
The official shook his head and said, "If you go back to your lordship, it seems that there are no strange people......
Wang Xu said: "The official didn't ask you if there were any strange people passing by, but asked if someone passed by, and you just said it." β
In this way, the official said: "It's nothing special, it's just that the merchant who carries the burden is selling things on the other side, and it is very lively, and such things are common, and many servants and maidservants have run out......"
Originally, I thought that Wang Xu would be impatient to listen to these trivial things, but I didn't expect that he would take his hands and listen to them with relish, and at the end he nodded again and again: "What else?" β
The official only felt strange that someone like Lord Dark Dao King would be interested in this kind of thing, but as a last resort, he still stubbornly continued: "The seller of snacks, dried fruits, and beads and silk sounds like an acquaintance, and he often moves around here, and some people say in conversation that this merchant has been walking around here for many years, and he is quite clever......"
Originally, it was just a casual compliment, but the clinker king listened to it very much, and then asked him: "How do you know that he is clever?" β
Although it was just a simple questioning, it was not an interrogation or anything, and he didn't make any mistakes, but such a detailed inquiry still made the official break out in a cold sweat for some reason, and he stammered even when he spoke, and continued: "Listen to what those people said, this merchant is very clever, and being the account room in the big restaurant also makes it possible, and the memory is good, and the person is also clever." β
Wang Xu listened to such a trivial matter with relish, and then asked, "How good is this merchant's memory?" Servants and servants run around frequently, and he remembers them? β
"It seems like that, but it looks like it's getting a stubble today." The cold sweat on the official's forehead is getting more and more, and the words are dry, and he can't go on, this kind of trivial matter, no matter how he can say it, there is nothing to say.
Fortunately, Wang Xu didn't continue to ask, but said: "Since you are a merchant who often comes, you must have old knowledge." After that, he looked at Miss Xue Er, who had been listening for a while, and asked, "Is there a maid around Miss Xue Er who has seen this merchant?" β
Miss Xue Er, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but be stunned, and stood up a little flattered, although she didn't understand why Wang Xu asked her, but she still looked at the maid beside her honestly: "Have you seen it?" β
No matter how the officials think, they can't think of anything to ask about a merchant, Wang Xu didn't speak, and the officials didn't dare to leave, so they watched from the sidelines.
The maid next to him was asked, and quickly nodded: "I recognize, everyone calls him Merchant Li, he has been a merchant here for many years, things are not good or bad, the picture is fresh, and he will come two or three times a month." β
Wang Xu asked her with interest: "Since they come every month, they must be the people of Chang'an, and no matter how bad they are, they are the people who live in the suburbs near Chang'an, so where does this merchant Li live?" Who is in the family? β
The maid was stunned for a while, and then shook her head after a while: "I don't know, it seems that I have never heard anyone mention it." After a pause, the maid said, "Every time he picks up the goods, he stays for half an hour at most, and he leaves after selling things. "It's a merchant again, and no one asks about a merchant.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After asking and walking away, the official couldn't help but ask, "Lord Wang, is there anything wrong with this merchant?" Besides, if you really want to ask the merchant, don't you know more about these things by asking the steward of this house? β
When Wang Xu heard this, he stopped and smiled: "No, I'm afraid I can't ask them anything?" Miss Xue ......" his expression was a little meaningful, "Miss Xue is a good hand at governing the family, if you don't want us to know, I'm afraid you won't be able to ask, and only Miss Xue Er may be better here." β
The official said, "But this servant knows very little. β
"I didn't expect this servant to say anything," Wang Xu said, "but this official can be sure of one thing, there is something wrong with this merchant." β
With just a few words, you can know that there is something wrong with this merchant? The official thought for a moment and said, "My lord, is this kind of judgment too far-fetched? β
"Not far-fetched." Wang Xu smiled, "Although many powerful people don't look down on the characters of the three religions and nine ranks, it doesn't hurt to know more." The official will tell you why there is a problem with this merchant. β
