After staying for a while, the ship gradually slowed down. After two quarters of an hour, they stopped at the edge of a small town.

Chunying knew that this was to replenish the water, so she propped up the window and looked outside, seeing that there were many people outside, but it was just the scene of an ordinary village and town—she had seen several of them along the way—so she couldn't get the interest to go shopping, so she closed the window, sat back on the bed, and continued to be in a daze.

Oh, the sound of footsteps came urgently, someone opened the hatch, but it was Sister-in-law, both hands were full of things, and she came in excitedly: "Sister Chun, it's so lively outside, I heard that the temple here is going to hold a Buddha statue consecration ceremony today, so there is a temple fair, and people from ten miles and eight towns are here." Do you want Sister Chun to go ashore for a walk? ”

Chunying smiled: "You go play, I don't have much energy today." She has also participated in the temple fair in the capital a few times, and it is naturally much more lively than the temple fair here, so she is not too interested. Glancing at the things in Sister-in-law He's hand, she smiled again: "Why did you buy so many things?" ”

Sister-in-law He was a little embarrassed: "Look at me." The eyelids are shallow, I really don't know anything, I just look at things interesting, so I can't help but buy some. It's just a little bit of windmills, candy men, purses, and bamboo roots, and it's not worth much. It's just that the people here are not sincere, as soon as they saw that we were from other places, they opened the price several times, and looked at me who didn't know the market, hum, I didn't be polite to them! It was originally worth a few hundred yuan, but I was stunned to take it down for only fifty yuan! ”

The day before yesterday, Chunying gave her a hundred dollars to make pocket money, but she didn't expect her to be a good bargainer, and said with a smile: "That's really amazing, I knew that you had such a good eloquence, and I let you buy it when I was at home." ”

Sister-in-law He lowered her head and smiled, and put everything on the table: "Sister Chun, come and take a look, do you have anything you like?" Chunying shook her head: "I already have it, you can take it to play, or you can give some to others." ”

The others she was referring to were the maidservants of Miss Huijun, who was on the same boat. Although the Liufang family business is not prosperous, because Miss Huijun is going to marry an official of Hangzhou City, and her mother-in-law's family is a prominent family in Suzhou, the Hou Mansion and the East Mansion have sent many people and things over. Now the servants who are married, in addition to a girl she has been calling since she was a child, there is also a little girl and a family member sent by the old lady of the Hou Mansion, as well as a family member sent by the East Mansion. However, these are the sons of the two provinces. Sister-in-law He was a little uncomfortable when she heard it: "I...... I don't understand the rules of big families...... When I saw their magnificence, I couldn't stop talking...... It's all gone......"

Chun Ying said disapprehantly: "What is this? Our family is just a small family, and I can't compare to those big families who pay attention to etiquette, and I have taught you the same number of etiquette. In front of the young lady, it's just a matter of being exquisite, and it's better to relax with other people, and you don't need to be tied. "They are all slaves, and who is nobler than the other? She pointed to the things on the table: "Although they are all ordinary things, how many times have people who have been on errands in the mansion for many years been able to go out and see these?" Most of the time it will feel fresh. You just have to give it away, and have the courage to laugh with them, just like in our house. This way to the south, all by water, everyone is bored on the boat, a few people are talking and laughing together, so as to pass the time, right? ”

Sister-in-law He just went, and after a while, she heard the woman's laughter from the nearby cabin.

Chunying was stunned for a moment, sighed, and thought that she should cheer up. So he got up and walked out.

This ship was originally a two-story cabin, and Miss Huijun, who lived on the upper floor, lived on the upper floor, and she was a gentleman, so she was afraid that she was still in a daze in her room at this time. Chunying went to talk to her.

To be honest, as soon as she heard that she was the young lady of the sixth room, she had a subtle feeling in her heart. If she remembered correctly, when the third young master had the heart to befriend Hu Fei, he planned to marry this young lady to him. If Hu Fei hadn't taken a firm stance, things might have been a different story. Therefore, when Chunying thought of this young lady, she was full of discomfort, but she still maintained the etiquette on her face, with a smile on her face, in fact, she had already started to play drums in her heart, and she didn't know if the other party knew her relationship with Hu Fei.

Among the people who accompanied the marriage, there was a family member who was born to the family of Dongfu, and although Chunying was not familiar with it, she had seen it a few times. The two of them knew that Chunying came out of front of the old lady, and they were very respectful. Chunying sometimes asks them to help with a little thing, but now that she has doubts in her heart, she simply asks the daughter-in-law to go to Huijun's personal girl to investigate, and the news that she has come back makes her breathe a sigh of relief.

The people in the sixth room only knew that the Hou Ye sent someone to ask the young lady's age, just to arrange family affairs, but the young lady was not worried about the weak brother, so she refused, saying that she would wait until the younger brother was older. Originally, I was worried that the Hou Mansion would be angry, but the Hou Mansion has no follow-up since then, and it was not until this spring that the Hou Ye told his wife about this family matter, and the people in the sixth room also knew about it at this time. Hou Ye actually paid careful attention to them for two years before choosing this uncle for the sake of their young lady, which is really well-intentioned!

Chunying sneered in her heart while listening, feeling a little better about Huijun in her heart. After all, the other party is getting married, so there is no need to worry about it. What's more, her husband's family is a prominent family in Suzhou, and her husband is working in Hangzhou, so for Hu Fei's sake in the future, it is still necessary to get to know some contacts. Not to mention, if she went to protect Hu Fei's family property this time, if there was no Kao Mountain in the local area, it would be a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Chunying has always been attentive to two points of courtesy, one point of politeness and seven points of thought, and comes to talk to Miss Huijun every day to soothe her emotions and alleviate her sadness of leaving home, and the two gradually became acquainted. Chunying saw that this young lady was brought up by a widow, and she didn't have much contact with outsiders on weekdays, and she was confused about the twists and turns in the door of the mansion, so she made up some common case stories as anecdotes. Told Huijun. Although the latter is simple-minded, he is also quite clever, and after listening to it a few times, he fell in his heart and knew that this was Chunying teaching himself, and he was grateful in his heart.

She didn't think Chunying was big, after all, Chunying used to be her uncle and grandmother's girl, and even her own mother had to talk to Chunying politely, and the other party would point her fingers like this because of her uncle and grandmother's instructions, right? Evenly, I am also a little closer to Dongfu.

It's summer. The river was rising, and the boat was supposed to go fast, but the rainy season began again, and the group was trapped on the road several times, and when they finally arrived in Suzhou City, there were only seven days left for the divorce date.

The eldest young master, Li Jing, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and while assigning his men and the people of the Nanyang fleet to move the luggage and pack the house, he asked someone to contact the man to ask about the wedding schedule, and Lu Yougui was also on the side to help with it. Chunying had no task to do, and Huijun was surrounded by a group of girls and daughters-in-law to work, so she stayed in the residence honestly for the time being.

Seeing that everyone was busy, she suddenly moved in her heart, and hurriedly asked Sister-in-law He to invite her father over: "Dad, go and talk to the eldest young master, we don't have many people, so hectic, I'm afraid that it may not be done when it comes to the right day." The four-room Young Master Xu lives nearby, right? Why don't you ask Grandma Xu to send someone to help? In theory, the bloodlines of the fourth room and the sixth room are closer! ”

Lu Yougui hurriedly went to tell Li Jing, and Li Jing woke up like a dream: "How did I forget him?!" In less than half a day, Li Xu came with his wife, followed by more than twenty young and powerful male and female servants, who only listened to the master's instructions, and quickly and well prepared everything. Li Jing was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked people to prepare a table of first-class noodles, invited Lu Yougui to accompany him, and invited Li Xu to have a drink.

Grandma Xu was also accompanying Huijun in the room at the moment, and Chunying was by the side, introducing herself with a smile, and asked: "I was fortunate to meet my grandmother the year before last, I wonder if grandma still remembers?" ”

Grandma Xu smiled faintly: "Naturally, I remember." After the banquet and the bride was sent back to the boudoir, she turned to Chunying and smiled: "Girl, are you interested in eating hot tea with me?" ”

"I don't dare to ask for it."

Grandma Xu was stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "I knew that the girl must be extraordinary." ”

"It's just dropping the school bag, what's extraordinary? Grandma, don't laugh at me. Chunying smiled and poured tea. sent it to the other party, "I still have something to ask the young master and grandma." ”

Grandma Xu's expression was solemn: "Our husband and wife also happen to have something to discuss with you, and I originally planned to tell you after returning to Beijing, but I didn't expect you to come!" ”

Chunying's heart sank: "But...... What happened to Little Feige's Grange? Someone came and invaded, didn't they? "It's really unlucky, I actually let the Hu family take a step earlier!

Grandma Xu was very surprised: "How do you know? But it's not that bad. Those people don't know the address of the grange, and they are still inquiring in the city. Wait a minute, this matter will only be explained clearly by our master, and I will go and invite him to come. ”

Chun Ying hurriedly stopped her and thought for a while: "It's not convenient here, after all, it's a back house, and there is a bride here." Where is grandma's house? I said I was going to go out for a walk, and then I went to the house to continue. ”

Grandma Xu thought about it, and hurriedly said the address, and left a mother-in-law, nominally to help, but in fact, she was left to show Chunying the way. Having already had lunch, she soon followed her husband home. Chunying rested for a while, then said to her father that she was going out to have a good time, and then took Sister-in-law He and Mo Han to Young Master Xu's house and asked her about things clearly.

It turned out that the reason why the eldest young master of the Hu family was able to know about his younger brother's purchase of property in Jiangnan had something to do with Li Xu.

The young master of the fourth room, who has a bad relationship with his wife, often quarrels, and has no heart to study, and he barely passed a top three in the last subject, and his ranking is only slightly stronger than the second young master of the Hou Mansion. The family felt that it would not work like this, so they planned to spend money to dredge him up and ask for an external appointment. The four rooms were not rich, but they were entrusted to the Hou Mansion to get a place, but they couldn't make up the money. The fourth lady knew that Li Xu had money in his hands, so she asked him to move home with his wife and children. Li Xu knew her plan, but she refused, and the fourth lady was annoyed, thinking that in addition to the little things he gave him when the family was separated, he also occupied other properties, which were quietly purchased by her husband before his death...... The Zhuangzi, shops and real estate in his name are the best proof of this!

Li Xu naturally wanted to defend himself, only saying that at least half of those industries were owned by his friend Hu Fei, and he was just taking care of them, not the Li family. Where is the fourth lady willing to believe? The trouble stopped for more than a month, but the rumor spread to some extent.

Back then, Li Xu and Hu Fei were classmates, and they also had contacts with each other, and the servants at home naturally knew each other, and the news probably leaked out like this. At first, the Hu family only regarded it as a trivial matter, and occasionally took it out to talk about it, until the family property was lost, and then they remembered it and became greedy.

Li Xuben didn't know this, and it wasn't until some time ago that someone sent him a letter, and he was vigilant, and sent someone to guard the dock, and as soon as the Hu family appeared, he secretly embellished it.

Chunying hurriedly asked: "The one who sent the letter, but ...... The one in the palace? "Since Li Xu is Hu Fei's friend, he should know about Hu Neijian, right?

Li Xu nodded: "The person who came was from the Yamen of the Foreign Affairs Department, saying that it was inconvenient for him to come forward, for fear that if he made a big fuss, he would attract the imperial history and not look good in front of the saint." But he reassures us that he won't spare that kind of villain. ”

Chun Ying listened, but she had a good impression of this Hu Neijian who knew how to repay her kindness. Looking down and thinking about it, she looked up and smiled: "I thought that the matter was very urgent, and I came to Jiangnan specially to come, but I didn't expect things to be much better than I imagined." With Young Master Xu watching, that Hu Peng should not be able to become the climate. ”

Li Xu said: "That's not what I said. I...... I'm just afraid that I have to go back to Beijing, only my wife is here, and she may not be Hu Peng's opponent. Therefore, I was about to discuss with the girl, but what was the best way to send him away? ”

Chun Ying was stunned, blinked, and smiled again: "That...... Young Master Xu simply handed over the Zhuangzi shop to me, right? I'm going to deal with him! ”！ ~！
