Chapter 89: Xi Ningyu became suspicious
Huang and Xi Guan discussed in the house about the dowry of Xi Ningyu and Hou Changning when they were married. Not only must not lose face, let alone offend Changning Hou, but also give as little as possible, so that the eldest daughter of this Xifu cannot get any benefits.
The couple of Xifu are so calculating, and this does not mean that everyone is like this, so engraved in the 'Hanwen Academy' of Xifu. There is such a couple, who are also saddened by Xi Ningyu.
"Husband, I see that the child's birthday is coming. This is the fifteenth, and it is time for the woman to perform and prostrate. But if you look at the eldest brother's side, there is no arrangement at all, how is this good, or we will mention this matter.
At the beginning, when my sister-in-law was alive. He took care of our husband and wife very much, and even the second uncle made things difficult several times, and the sister-in-law also came forward for us to defend it openly and secretly, and even scolded the second uncle's family in public. But now, the sister-in-law has passed away, and we have watched the child be sent away, but there is nothing we can do to stop it. Now it's time for that kid and Lu, can't we help at all? β
The woman who spoke was the eldest of the three brothers of the Xi family.
"Alasβit's not like you don't know that you and I are in this home. can have a little weight, even if you say it at this time, don't forget that there is a new sister-in-law in the way. β
"Then why don't we do nothing, how can this be worthy of the sister-in-law's maintenance back then, the friendship of the concubine!"
"You let me think about this again, think again!"
ββ¦β¦β
This woman saw that her husband was like this. can only sigh helplessly, it's not that she doesn't want to, how can this era always be like this, marrying and obeying her husband. Now that her husband is so forbearing, how can she help each other, she can only feel ashamed of Xi Ningyu in her heart alone.
In the imperial capital, everyone related to Xi Ningyu. At this time, they were all calculating, maintaining, or worrying about Xi Ningyu's affairs.
However, the parties are also in trouble at this time.
Because the Huang Chamber of Commerce has cut off the source of medicine, it has been a few days now. Seeing that it was the end of the month, the medicinal materials were also exhausted, but there was no proper solution at this time.
Xi Ningyu has been in a hurry every day these days, but he has looked for other pharmacists a few times, but after hearing that he wants to go against the Huang Chamber of Commerce, he can't avoid them one by one.
When he was worried, Uncle Wen came to report outside the door. said that someone asked to see him, and said that he had to see Xi Ningyu in person.
"Who do you know?"
"I don't know, the face is very raw, and I have never seen someone before. However, the words are very respectful and should not be malicious. β
Xi Ningyu was also very curious, who was this person. I also thought about it, and I couldn't think of anyone who came so suddenly, so I asked Uncle Wen to invite people to the guest room, and I would arrive later with Qingying.
"I've seen Miss Xi, the little one is polite."
As soon as Xi Ningyu entered the guest room, he saw a man get up to give a salute to himself, and he also replied slightly.
"I don't know where the distinguished guest came from, and how do you recognize the little girl?"
Xi Ningyu was very curious, so he didn't say much. opened his mouth to interrogate the reason, and it was easy to solve the doubts in his heart.
Qingying, who was following behind Xi Ningyu, was a little worried when she saw someone coming. Although this is not a bad person, and even if he knows this person well, he will not ruin the master's business if he comes here rashly.
"Miss Xi doesn't need to be confused, I came here by order to relieve Miss's worries."
As soon as the man spoke, Qingying was a little relieved, since he could say that he came by order, it must have been after the imperial capital received his letter. The arrangements made do not have to worry about whether the young master's affairs will be exposed.
Thinking of this, Qingying pretended not to know, and did not intervene to disturb.
"I don't seem to know you, I don't know whose order you are under, why do you have to solve my worries?"
"I wonder if Miss still remembers my son-in-law? Miss and my son-in-law have a life-saving grace, have you forgotten? β
When Xi Ningyu heard this, he remembered who might be coming. However, he couldn't get a definite basis, and it was not easy to guess, so he asked again: "Which Lin Gongzi and where did he save him?" β
"Ying County, Lin Xuan, have you ever remembered it?"
After this conversation, Xi Ningyu was sure. So he didn't try it, and after inviting someone to sit down, he also sat on top with Qingying.
Qingying, on the other hand, did not squint, but only walked around with Xi Ningyu's movements.
The person who came was the one before, when Xi Ningyu followed Jiang Huan to suppress the bandits. In secret, he took the guards to help him, because he had been hiding outside the camp and had not met Xi Ningyu, showing up at this moment would not cause trouble, let alone disobey Ling Xuanyi's order at the beginning.
"I wonder how you can help me, and how do you know where I'm in trouble?"
Xi Ningyu knew that this was the person sent by the Lin Gongzi who he had treated, and he also held a hope that he could solve the current difficulties.
"I don't dare to take it seriously, so Miss will call me Tao Tie. As for where I learned that Miss was in trouble, it was because Miss had ordered people to contact the merchants who dealt in medicinal herbs in recent days, and we were left here by Lin Gongzi to take care of business affairs.
Lin Gongzi once said that if you know that the young lady is in trouble here, you must think of help. That's why I came here rashly today, please don't doubt it. β
"So, Tao Tie, do you know what trouble I have?"
"I roughly know, it must be a matter of maliciously cutting off the supply of medicinal materials. Just ask the lady to make it clear what herbs are needed and how much they are needed. There is also a maximum time limit to be given, so that I can go back and arrange for someone to go elsewhere to collect it as soon as possible. In addition, I have already contacted other chambers of commerce for the young lady to distribute medicinal materials, and the young lady will be there in a few days, so the young lady can rest assured! β
Qingying said in his heart that it was really the young master who made a move, not only did he figure things out so quickly, but he even came up with a solution. It seems that the young master is really reassuring the young lady, and he will have to take care of it more in the future, otherwise something will happen, and I'm afraid he will really have to fill it with his life.
Xi Ningyu never thought that this Lin Gongzi who had saved him was so capable, and it had only been a few days. Not only did I figure out the trouble I encountered, but even the solution was arranged so properly, the solution of medicinal materials was not a big problem, and the biggest trouble was that I didn't know who to cooperate with in the future to supply medicinal materials.
But as soon as this Tao Tie came, not only could he collect the medicinal materials he needed now, but even the pharmacists who could cooperate in the future helped him find them. This is really the biggest problem solved, and Xi Ningyu couldn't help but be happy for a while, but he didn't laugh twice.
Xi Ningyu suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but change her face greatly.
I have always rarely been in and out of the new house, and since the new house was built, I have gone there to deal with business matters. But now that he is in trouble, Lin Gongzi's people know about it, and they can directly find themselves to negotiate, instead of going to Shi Hanxue or Lian Zeqian.
It can be seen that he deliberately hides himself. It's not that all the efforts are in vain, and I don't want to be known that I am the owner behind this business, but it also means that it is all leaked in front of Lin Gongzi and others.
Xi Ningyu, who was still smiling on her face just now, turned black in an instant.
And Qingying and Tao Tie also noticed this change in Xi Ningyu.
Tao Tie was just that, and there was no reaction except for some confusion.
But how could Qingying not know why her face had changed. So he hurriedly glanced at Tao Tie, wanting to signal that he was careful, but don't commit the taboo of the young lady, it will ruin the good things of the young master, and everyone will be burdened with the black pot at that time!
Seeing Qingying's eyes glancing at him, Tao Tie was not stupid. After quickly going through the words he had just spoken to Xi Ningyu in his mind, he found that there was nothing missing, but at this moment, Xi Ningyu's face was black. And Qingying, who used to be the same guard, signaled that he was different and would do something.
Tao Tie stroked it again in his heart, and suddenly remembered something.
"Tell the person surnamed Lin that Miss Ben confessed this time, and it can be regarded as his original life-saving grace. In the future, the two will not owe each other, but you can also help me tell him, if you dare to let you spy on Miss Ben's actions again, don't blame Miss Ben for turning her face!
I'm not guilty of something, when will it be your turn to keep an eye on the !!! like a thief β
Seeing that Xi Ningyu was really angry, Qingying suddenly had a very bad premonition in her heart. she
suddenly thought that he and Qingqiong were also followed by Lin Gongzi.
Today's incident caused such a big reaction from Xi Ningyu, which Qingying didn't expect at all. By the time I thought about it, it was too late.
After Xi Ningyu finished speaking to Tao Tie, he turned around angrily and returned to the inner house.
"How is this good, today this incident actually made the young lady aware of it. In the future, Qingqiong and I will inevitably be wary of the young lady, how can we explain this matter to the young master! β
Qingying was a little anxious, and there was already a slight dryness in her words.
The gluttony also looked sluggish, and he didn't expect that today's incident would arouse Miss Xi's vigilance. This matter is indeed not easy to deal with, a bad one, if the young master knows, it will be severely punished!
For a while, the two of them were in the room, relatively silent.
Xi Ningyu, who came out of the guest room, walked straight to the west chamber, and met Qingqiong halfway. Xi Ningyu glanced at Qingqiong and turned her head coldly.
Qingqiong didn't know where to do anything wrong to provoke this ancestor, but she didn't dare to catch up and ask for an understanding, so she could only continue to do her own thing sullenly.
In the evening, when they were all done, they sat together and prepared to eat. It's just that Xi Ningyu was the only one who didn't appear at the dinner table, and Mother Xue was a little strange, so she asked Yu'er to go and invite her.
But the fish came back after a while, but Xi Ningyu was still missing.
"Where's Miss?"
Mother Xue couldn't help but ask strangely.
"The young lady said that she would not eat today, and said that she wanted to be alone quietly. Think of something, let's not bother her! β
Qingying and Qingqiong glanced at each other and silently retreated.
"Sister Ying, isn't Miss really thinking of something. If that's the case, what are we going to do? If you go back like this, you will definitely be severely punished by the young master, not to mention, maybe...... Maybe even ...... life"
"Don't scare yourself, the young master is not that kind of person. Besides, Miss won't be so ruthless, although we have secretly informed the young master of the situation here, but we don't have the intention of harming Miss.
Miss will be considerate, and will not force you and me to a dead end, do you not know what Miss is like after getting along with Miss for so long? β
Although Qingying was also very flustered in her heart, she still felt very reliable about Xi Ningyu's temperament. Even if he is dissatisfied, he will not force himself and Qingqiong to a dead end.
Therefore, even at this time, I believed in Xi Ningyu. It's just that I don't know how to eliminate this suspicion and let Xi Ningyu eliminate the estrangement between the two of them.
