After returning to the palace, Wang Jin stretched out for a long time, and said in a brisk tone: "When I was in Taiyuan, I didn't take any advantage from the Wen family, and now I find that the Wen family is finished, it's really unreal like a dream!" ”

Wang Yan was afraid to pat Wang Jin on the shoulder: "For this day of the Wen family, do you know how long your second sister has been planning and how much effort has been spent?" To catch a big fish with a long line, the first thing is to calm down. ”

Wang Jin nodded approvingly: "Since the accident in the southern money village began, the second sister has been preparing, and this courage alone is not something that ordinary women can have!" ”

Walking into the house, Wang Jin poured a cup of tea for Hua Xiyan very doggedly, and then asked: "Now that the emperor has just taken off Wen Yuan's black yarn hat, their Wen family is still in the capital, and they also have a daughter as the crown princess, so the second sister is not afraid of the Wen family's comeback?" ”

Hua Xiyan took a sip of the teacup and shook his head slowly: "No." They didn't stay long in the capital. ”

Wang Jin opened his mouth wide in astonishment and asked in disbelief: "No, the Wen family has been calculated by you to be like this, don't tell me that you still have a trick?" ”

"What if I say, really?" Hua Xiyan smiled coquettishly, and successfully aroused the interest of several people, including Wang Yao.

Wang Yao thought for a while, and then asked, "Could it be that the Wen family still has any problems?" ”

Hua Xiyan put down the teacup in his hand, and his dark eyes were radiant, as if he had exhausted the elegance of heaven and earth.

"After the accident in the southern bank, the Wen family transferred a large amount of silver taels to the south for turnover, and then I first transported a batch of grain to the south, buying low and selling high to earn the difference. However, this method was soon learned by the Wen family, so the Wen family followed my example and also transported grain to earn the difference. In this way, the Wen family earned a large amount of silver taels, and at that time, the turnover silver used in the money bank was enough, so all the silver money obtained by the Wen family from selling grain was hoarded in the bank. ”

Hua Xiyan paused, and then said: "Later, the emperor asked the Wen family to fund the war in the south, and the Wen family transported the grain, and the silver taels were directly allocated from the local bank. It was at that time that the Wen family's grain was replaced by me. Later, I asked Xi Yu, and Xi Yu also told me that the army had received the Wen family's silver taels, which was far from enough for the Wen family's profits from the sale of rice and grain. This proves that the Wen family still has a large amount of cash in the southern bank. ”

Speaking of this, Hua Xiyan suddenly asked Wang Yao: "Uncle still remembers, when the emperor asked the Wen family to contribute, what did the holy decree say?" ”

Wang Yao nodded: "In the Wen's money shop, all the property is confiscated. ”

Hua Xiyan nodded: "Exactly." Everyone has selfish intentions, and the emperor is no exception. He hoped that the more money in the army the better, so that he could allocate less money from the treasury. The emperor is going to purge this time and strictly investigate various families, if the Wen family's money is found to have a large amount of silver taels hidden, what will our suspicious emperor think? ”

Wang Jin instantly understood, let out a long "oh", and said, "Wen Yao is dead, and the emperor can only anger Wen Yuan." So just now, the second sister said that the Wen family would not stay in the capital for long. ”

Huaxi smoke is the head, exactly that.

Wang Yan on the side also looked at Hua Xiyan with a shocked face, he knew that she was smart, but he didn't know that her mind had reached such a heinous point. With such an accurate business calculation and people's grasp, I'm afraid that his shrewd third brother can't compare, right?

Sure enough, as Hua Xiyan expected, five days later, the southern secret security came to the capital and found 80 million taels of silver in Wen's bank. Emperor Tianlong was furious and immediately stripped the Wen family of the title of "imperial merchant", and ordered the complete erasure of the record of the Wen family's imperial merchant in the history books. The Wen family's long house was all exiled to southern Xinjiang, but Wen Qing, the third son of the Wen family's second room, did not know where to go when the emperor sent someone to arrest him, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead. At this point, the Taiyuan Wen clan was completely destroyed.

Hua Xiyan was not half surprised when she received the news, but she was concerned about another thing: "How did the civil official meeting test finally end?" ”

Wang Jin grabbed the tail of the red spirit on the side, and replied lazily: "After knowing the fall of the Wen family, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites confessed that he had received the Wen family's money, so he leaked the question, and after confessing his guilt, he committed suicide in prison. The three people who committed the fraud have been executed for a long time, and the other officials of the Ministry of Rites have been acquitted. ”

Hua Xiyan nodded, and the two chatted for a while, and Wang Jin left with the red spirit, saying that he wanted to study this thing.

Hua Xiyan was in a daze with his chin, and suddenly thought of something, and beckoned Feng Yin to ask, "The secret guard I sent to protect Shen Jia said that Empress Li wants to see Shen Jia?" ”

Feng Yin nodded: "That day, when we came out of the palace, Empress Li gave an order, but was blocked back by the prince, and the prince said that Shen Jia had been practicing a dance recently, and when the time came, he was going to perform at Emperor Tianlong's birthday banquet, and Empress Li saw that the prince was trying so hard to please Emperor Tianlong, so he didn't say anything more." However, Princess Roujia went to find trouble a few times, and Miss Shen Jia did not suffer any losses. ”

Knowing that Shen Jia was not a vegetarian, Hua Xiyan was relieved.

"I heard that there are many pear trees in the back garden of the palace, and now is the season of pear blossoms, so it is better to go and see them." Hua Xiyan chuckled and said, "These days have been too depressing, and I have failed to live up to this great spring in vain." ”

"I went to see it once, it was really ten miles of pear blossoms, I couldn't see the end at a glance, it was really beautiful." Xunqiu brought Hua Xiyan a coat, blinked a pair of big eyes, and said with a smile, "It's a shame that Miss remembered it, otherwise in a few days, this flowering period will pass." ”

"If it's as good as you say, it's a shame to miss it." Hua Xiyan put his coat on his body and walked out of his yard.

Xu was in a much lighter mood, and even the air felt sweet. Hua Xiyan walked slowly all the way and looked around, and Aunt Ying walked on the side, explaining the scenery of the courtyard for Hua Xiyan.

Hua Xiyan listened to it with relish, thinking that he was worthy of being a big family, and life was exquisite. Not only the layout of the yard, but also every stone placed in front of the yard and every tree planted in the yard have a saying.

In this way, this courtyard is much more elaborate than the main house in Taiyuan.

The yard was huge, and a few people walked for more than an hour before they came to the legendary place where the pear blossoms bloomed in the back garden. As early as in the distance, Hua Xiyan asked for a burst of sweet pear fragrance.

But the imaginary picture is far less shocking than the scenery in front of you, the pear trees that can not be seen at a glance, the white pear blossoms at work are in full bloom, and each flower seems to have done its best to decorate this beautiful spring. A thick layer of petals fell from the pear tree, like the tiger skin carpet on the ground in her Mochizuki Xuan, white without a trace of impurities. Even when you step on the embroidered shoes, you have a feeling of fluffiness and softness.

"It is said that the most beautiful scenery is only ten miles of osmanthus fragrance, and now looking at this ten miles of pear fragrance, it is not too much." Hua Xiyan walked to a pear tree, bent down a branch, and sniffed lightly at the end of his nose.

"You all go and play casually, don't follow me." Hua Xiyan turned his head to look at the group of excited girls behind him, and said with a light smile.

Ask Xia and Xunqiu with a group of maids to be happy, the capital is much wetter than Taiyuan, so the scenery in this garden is more beautiful than Taiyuan.

"Aunt Ying, let's go around and relax."

"Then I'll pick some flowers and make flower cakes for Miss to eat in the evening."

Hua Xiyan nodded with a smile and walked slowly along the pear blossom forest.

It is said that it is ten miles of pear blossom forest, and in her opinion, it is far more than ten miles.

Who likes pear blossoms in the palace? Hua Xiyan frowned and thought, otherwise it would be impossible to come out of such a large pear blossom forest for no reason.

Hua Xiyan wandered aimlessly, not afraid that she would get lost in this huge forest.

Walking a little tired, Hua Xiyan leaned on a book and slowly gasped, looking up and looking around, his eyes were empty and insignificant, but he froze at a certain point and regained some vitality.

It is a pear blossom that blooms very well, with many petals, and it is a white to crystal clear color, and among these thousands of pear blossoms, it stands out.

Hua Xiyan suddenly wanted to destroy the flower with his hands and pick it off.

She walked slowly towards the flower, looking up at it, as if to remember its last good appearance.

Slowly with his hand, the wide brocade sleeves slid down, revealing his white and slender arms, Hua Xiyan stretched out his hand towards the flower, but he couldn't reach it.

Trying to tiptoe, Hua Xiyan tried yes, but there was still a long distance.

Just as she was about to fly up and pluck the flower with light power, an arm reached out from behind her back, plucked the flower, and handed it to her.

Hua Xiyan was stunned, put down his hand, did not pick up the flower, and did not look back.

The white and wide sleeves, the silky fabric looks like a high-quality flowing cloud brocade, and the cuffs are embroidered with intricate moire patterns to add a bit of delicacy and dignity.

Almost without thinking about it, Hua Xiyan walked away, not caring at all how much he was now in the desert and running away.

The bony hand grabbed her arm in an instant, stopping her from moving on.

"Knowing." Hua Xiyan heard a gentle and low voice that she hadn't heard for the moon.

Hua Xiyan felt that her whole body stiffened, no longer the shyness and shyness that he touched before, but full of anger and unwillingness, she just bit her lip and did not speak, she was afraid that as soon as she opened her mouth, she would be unable to restrain her fury and gaffe.

"Knowing." Seeing that Hua Xiyan didn't answer for a long time, Yun Qi opened his mouth again.

When I heard this voice before, my heart was full of joy, but now there is only a sad silence. A kind of helplessness when I have seen the speed of all kinds of times, a kind of remembrance and compassion for myself.

Hua Xiyan just stood still, motionless, so quiet that people almost thought that her blood was coagulated together.

"Knowing." Yun Qi's voice was a little softer, a little uncertain, but a little more lingering.

After a long time, Hua Xiyan's body turned around stiffly, and his cool eyes looked at the peerless face of the person in front of him, and gently brushed away the hand that was holding his arm.

After a while, she heard her extremely calm voice: "Yun Gongzi, I thought that when you saw me this time, you would call me 'Princess Changyan'." ”
