Chapter 142

There was a brief silence in the room for a few snaps of fingers, Old Man Liang and his two sons all had an unbelievable expression, stunned and motionless looking at the housekeeper, and it took a while for the three of them to come back to their senses, swishing up a few steps to surround the housekeeper, and couldn't wait to ask, "Are you sure she said the one hundred and eighty-eight?" ”

"The eldest girl is right to say so, but the master and the two young masters can rest assured, the younger one has already sent someone to follow the carriage to see if the eldest girl has gone to the one hundred and eighty-eighth."

"Okay, just wait for that person to reply, if you really go to the one hundred and eighty-eight, you and that person will be rewarded." Old Man Liang waved his sleeves vigorously.

"Hehe, thank you for the little one."

As soon as these words came out, the father and son of the Liang family were no longer busy with business, and waited patiently while drinking tea.

About a quarter of an hour later, someone outside the study reported that a 'door' room had come back from outside, panting to find the butler, and he brought it directly according to the steward's previous instructions.

Before the housekeeper could speak, Old Man Liang couldn't hold it back, and directly allowed someone to come in, and asked, "What do you see?" ”

The young man ran all the way back after inquiring clearly, and he was not even out of breath at this time, listening to the old man's question, he hurriedly took a few breaths of air, and then said in a dumb voice with his neck, "Unbelievable, master, you will never believe what the little one saw, it is too surprising, and those merchants who witnessed it with the little one are too surprising, and now the street is already talking about it." ”

"Oops, who's going to listen to your, tell me what you've seen!!" Old Man Liang was so angry that he kept slapping the table, and the two young masters also scolded him repeatedly, telling the 'door' room to hurry up and get down to business.

"Master, two young masters, the little one followed Miss He all the way to Wafang Street, saw her buy cakes first, and then went all the way to the Xiangjia branch, after reporting the name to the guy at the 'door', oh my God, countless people witnessed it with their own eyes, and the three shopkeepers of the Xiangjia branch came out to greet him in person, and welcomed Miss He into the shop with a smile on his face, and they all followed him to the inside, as if Miss He was a fairy 'girl'." The young 'doorman' finished telling what he had seen in one breath, and gasped again.

This time, the father and son of the Liang family stayed like a 'chicken' for a longer time, this is to break their heads, and they would never have imagined that the opportunity they had been asking for all this time suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Haha, good, it's really good news today, there is a reward, both of you have a heavy reward, go to the account room to receive the reward." Master Liang, who came back to his senses, laughed proudly.

"Yes, thank you, master, thank you, young master." The butler was full of joy and retreated with the 'door' room.

The Liang family father and son seized the time to discuss the plan.

"I really didn't expect that the eldest girl of the He family would have such a familiar 'friendship' with the three shopkeepers of the Xiangjia branch, and they have to go back to the capital several times a year, maybe they met by some coincidence." Old Man Liang guessed how He Xiangru knew the housekeepers of the Xiangjia branch.

"Dad, isn't it time for you to think about this now? Is this the main point of our consideration? We don't care how they meet, the point is that the big girl of the He family is so familiar with the three shopkeepers of the Xiangjia branch, and we are her maternal grandfather and uncle, with this level of kinship, it must be easy to ask her to help build a bridge. Young Master Liang said.

"Yes, I agree with the eldest brother's opinion, we are elders, she is the junior, and the elders should do things for the juniors, so she has to agree." The second young master echoed.

"Alas, yes, we are elders, although we are not blood relatives, but her father is, first give her father some gifts, let her father help a few words at that time, and your sister, let her also help say something, that girl seems to be a filial 'girl', the elders beg her like this, and she will not refuse us." The three shopkeepers were so thoughtful to her, they must have a lot of eyes for her, and they must be willing to agree to her little request, and the opportunity for our family to make a fortune will come. Old Man Liang rubbed his hands together with a proud 'look' on his face.

"Yes, yes, waking up from a dream, there is nothing more beautiful than this." The two sons laughed.

When the Liang family was thinking about a better life in the future, He Dani was warmly received in the back hall of the inner courtyard of the Xiangjia branch, and the three shopkeepers greeted He Dani with warmth.

They were ordered by the third young master of their own family, and in the process of helping to be messengers for the past few years, they knew everything about the He family from the past to the present, and the Xiangjia branch had been operating in Gusang County for so many years, with a deep foundation, they could dig out anything they wanted to inquire about, and deeply sympathized with what happened to the eldest 'daughter' of the He family when she was a child, and now when she saw a real person, she naturally chatted warmly.

In the shopkeepers, He Dani also met Aunt Zhou sent by Xie Ziyan, He Dani saw the two old people and hurriedly offered the pastries specially bought for them, thank them for their help, because of their own 'private' affairs, so that the two old people are afraid to spend the New Year in Gusang County this year.

Aunt Zhou Bozhou didn't mind too much, and comforted He Dani, saying that it was right to run errands for the main family, anyway, the children in the family have already married, and there is nothing to worry about, and it is also a rare thing for them to celebrate the New Year in other places this year, and they don't feel much discomfort.

He Dani thanked and thanked, and then under the persuasion of Liu Da's shopkeeper, she diverted the topic and talked about He Dani's recent arrangements.

He Dani said everything she knew, and she also said that she was worried about the eldest brother He Xiaoqiang, afraid that he would come back one day to toss his family, and he had been in the palace for a long time, and he didn't know how to deal with people like him.

The three shopkeepers and Aunt Zhou recognized He Dani's worries, and the three shopkeepers completely witnessed He Xiaoqiang's depravity process, and they knew very well what kind of terrible behavior such a boy who had been arrogant and accustomed to doing whatever he wanted since he was a child, and they naturally couldn't sit idly by, and they had to 'hand' He Dani back to the capital completely.

Everyone agreed several times that the Xiangjia branch would secretly arrange it, guard the 'gates' of each city, and pay close attention to He Xiaoqiang's movements, if he came back, they would keep an eye on his whereabouts.

After talking about the matter, the shopkeepers warmly asked He Dani to stay and eat together. He Dani couldn't refuse, nodded in agreement, and had a comfortable light meal with the elders.

After a short rest after dinner, He Dani proposed to say goodbye, and the shopkeepers were about to start their afternoon work, and they would not keep her any longer, and proposed to let Aunt Zhou and Zhou drive her back, recognize the 'door', and help at any time if you need it next time.

"That's right, Miss He, when you came in just now, many people outside saw it, presumably at this time the news has spread that you have a lot of 'friendship' with a few of us, if you turn back and have strange guests at home who want to give gifts, you just accept it, just say that you will write down the name to run the 'errand' on your behalf, and you won't be able to control the rest of the matter, if they beg you to ignore them again, just hold up your shelf." Before leaving, the big shopkeeper 'handed over' He Dani like this.

He Dani smiled when she heard this, nodded and responded, "Yes, I wrote it down, they only send, I only take care of it, but I'm just an outsider, running 'errands' to deliver words is already my greatest ability, don't count on me for anything else, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." ”

"Hehe, that's right, just reply to them like this, don't say anything else, it's enough to get there."

"I know, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." He Dani assured.

"Okay, hehe, come, let's send you out, let them see it again, let them spread it more powerfully, it will be good for you, you still have to earn a dowry for yourself, you can earn a sum of money."

"Huh."

While talking, the three shopkeepers sent He Dani to the front store, and Aunt Zhou Bo Zhou drove the carriage out of the backyard, went around to the front, and picked He Dani into the car to send her home.

The whole process made many onlookers all see it, and sure enough, as the shopkeepers said, the rumors spread like the wind in an instant to all corners of the county.

In fact, at this noon time, He Dani's identity has been "human 'meat'". Everyone in the city is staring at it, and those who are moving fast have even prepared a meeting gift to send to He's house.

So when He Dani arrived home and saw that half of the pit in the east room was full of all kinds of "exquisite" gifts, although she was mentally prepared, she was still a little surprised, and then regrouped her emotions and deliberately asked her father, stepmother and younger brother what was going on.

The three people of the He family have long been 'made' by this 'tide' of gift-giving army, and they can't understand why so many people are suddenly lining up to give gifts home, and they also named it for their 'daughter' He Dani, and they didn't say the intention and purpose, they put down the gifts and the name card and left, and piled up half of the kang at noon.

He Dawei looked at a few famous posts, the names on them were all very familiar, they were all people in the county's 'medicine' business, and they didn't know how they suddenly found their 'daughter', and they passed noon in a panic, and finally waited for the 'daughter' to go home, He Dani just didn't ask them, they still wanted to know what was going on.

"'Girl', we also want to know what's going on, you said that you went to see a few elders who took care of you at noon, and you didn't come back at noon, but a group of people you don't know came and sent a lot of gifts, and you don't know what's going on?" He Dawei looked at those gifts and trembled, and his courage was weakened by the poverty of these years.

"Hehe, Daddy, it's okay, if they want to give it to you, take it, pick a useful one to keep, and if you don't use it, give it to the neighbors, and when someone comes to me to receive it, you don't have to worry about it." He Dani smiled calmly as if she suddenly realized.

"'Female', these people are all people in the county's 'medicine' business, you are a food doctor, how can they come to pat you on the back and follow your path?" He Dawei is timid and timid, and his brain is not bad.

"Oh, it may be that they saw me enter the big 'door' of the Xiangjia branch, they really use their brains and hit me with ideas, what can I do them to help them with, alas, it's a pity that they are busy in vain." He Dani sighed fakely.

"Xiang Xiang Xiang Family Branch?!" He Dawei and He Liang were shocked when they heard this, and they couldn't believe the news.

"'Girl', what one hundred and eighty-eight you said you were going to go to is the Xiangjia branch?!" He Dawei's liver tremor intensified.

"Yes, I didn't know that it was the Xiangjia branch when I got there, maybe they were afraid that they wouldn't dare to go to the 'door' to meet me after I knew the truth, so they deliberately didn't tell me the name of the shop." He Dani smiled lightly.

"'Female', good 'female', tell your father, how did you get to know the shopkeeper of the Xiangjia branch, and how did they take care of you in Beijing."

"Huh? Didn't I tell you about it, Daddy? He Dani pretended to be confused.

"Speaking of what?" He Dawei was even more puzzled, He Liang also looked at his stepdaughter with a nervous face, and He Xiaojie didn't know what the adults were talking about.

"My senior brother Xiang *** is Xiang family, and the shopkeeper of Xiangjia branch will take a lot of care of me when he sees me."

"Goo Dong~" He Dawei swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a stiff neck, and his voice trembled, "What are you talking about?" Is your senior brother ***? Is it someone from the Xiang family? Aren't you a healer? It's a man, right?! ”

"Although *** is a man, the emperor decreed that the doctors of the Tai Hospital should be the teachers of the medical apprentices, and the former apprentice taught by my teacher is Xiang ***, so I am his junior sister, is there anything wrong with this?" He Dani pretended to be confused to the end.

He Liang's eyes rolled, and he fainted on the kang with excessive agitation.

He Dawei rolled his eyes a few times, took a few breaths, he was so dizzy, but he didn't know what to say, his eyes wandered and looked at the 'girl' and the piles of gifts on the kang, and muttered to himself, "No wonder...... No wonder...... No wonder...... No wonder ......"

"Daddy, don't mutter, what's strange, 'girl' reminds you first, don't think about good things, Liu Da's shopkeeper is affectionate for me to take care of me, but in the end, I and the Xiang family are only outsiders, and it is impossible to 'meddle' in their business, if someone comes to give gifts, you accept it, I don't care, but if I let me know what empty confessions you promised because of greed, and did something that ruined the reputation of my and Xiangjia branches, whether you intended or not, don't blame the 'daughter' son for killing my relatives and going to the government when the time comes." 'Door' to sue you for defrauding your neighbors. After He Dani finished pretending to be confused, she suddenly turned her face and spoke loudly.

He Dawei was so frightened by the cold appearance and threats and intimidation of the 'girl' that he trembled all over, and waved his hand again and again, "Don't worry, 'girl', how can Daddy be so confused, he won't embarrass you and Xiang Jia." ”

"Daddy, it's good that you know, I'm naturally relieved of you, but I want to keep it a secret from *** is my senior brother's business, I don't want too many people to know about it, *** is the person who is close to the emperor and the front, I don't want to cause trouble to my senior brother." As long as Daddy knows, one day with me at home, Xiang Jia will take care of it for a day, and the family will be more or less better in the future, you still have decades to live, and you have to plan for the long term, Xiaojie is still young, you also want to watch him marry a wife and have children, and give birth to a big fat grandson for you to play, right? ”

"Yes, yes, for the sake of Xiaojie, Daddy will never do anything foolish, don't worry, Daddy knows the stakes and will never say anything outside." Hearing the word emperor, He Dawei trembled even more.

"I'm relieved that my father understands the matter, and you have to remind your mother more, don't cause any embarrassment, I didn't come out of her belly, and naturally I won't think too much about me, if I get carried away and say something inappropriate, I won't put on a good face."

"'Girl' don't worry, Daddy will definitely tell your mother a lot, tell her to be cautious, don't cause trouble, in the end you have a relationship with the Xiang family, it is not good for us to provoke any of you, the family still relies on you to support it alone, what should you do if you don't care about the family." Thinking of the past, He Dawei felt sad in his heart.

"It's right for dad to think like this, as long as everyone is safe, the 'daughter' will naturally take good care of the family, otherwise if the 'daughter' is divided, before the matter is satisfactorily resolved, the 'daughter' will only take care of herself wholeheartedly, and nothing else will be taken care of." He Dani's threat escalated.

"Understand, I won't cause trouble for you, 'girl', you must not leave the family alone." He Dawei was anxious, for fear that the 'girl' would do what she said.

He Dani smiled and poured He Dawei a cup of hot tea and stuffed it into her father's hand, "Mother has been lying down for a while, are you okay?" ”

He Dawei drank a few sips of tea and calmed down, and then he had the 'spirit' to check his wife, cut his pulse, and shook his head to indicate that it was okay, "It's okay, just let her lie down like this for a while." ”

"Okay, Daddy, then I'll go back to the house to rest first, these gifts Daddy and Xiaojie will tear them up when they are free, keep them useful, and send them to neighbors if they are useless, so as to save the 'waste' fee."

"Hey, go and rest, there's Daddy here."

"The 'girl' retired." He Dani bowed steadily and withdrew

Entering the 'Door'
