072 Coincidence
Huang's mother and daughter were not there, but went to the main courtyard to talk to Wang.
It's rare to run over in the middle of the day to make rules. Xie Wan hugged the suspicion, and then paced to the upper room with a fan.
From afar, I heard the sound of laughter and speech in a room, and the maid at the door reported that "the third girl is here", and the voice inside fell silent.
Xie Wan lowered her head and entered, only to see that everyone was there, Huang's mother and daughter looked at her with a smile, and Wang sat on the top, with a spring breeze on her face.
After seeing the ceremony, Xie Wan sat down under Xie Wei and said, "What are you talking about?" Laughter can be heard from afar. ”
Xie Wei smiled: "There are two happy things, which one do you want to listen to first?" ”
Xie Wan said: "Naturally, I will listen to you first." ”
Xie Wei poked the tip of her forehead with a smile: "This ghost spirit, how do you know that there is something about me here?" ”
Xie Wan smiled silently, and saw a hint of gloom flashing on Wang's face, but he was looking at it again.
That's right, when a person sees the enemy, where can he not show half of his feet? If she could really do this, Xie Wan would wonder if she also had a city mansion like her.
Xie Wei said: "You guessed right! My father sent me a letter asking my mother to take my brother and me to Beijing for a while. We came over to invite my wife to go with us, but she said that there was something at home and she couldn't leave. You say, how nice it would be to go together! ”
Staying in Beijing? Xie Wan paused with a fan in his hand. Xie Rong has only been in office for a year, and although he lives in a courtyard that he bought, he is publicized in the end, and Zhao Zhen wrote that he is now busy building diplomatic relations with officials from all walks of life, so how can he have time to accompany their mother and son? Unless...... It's where they can be useful.
Xie Wan sighed lightly. The fan shook softly again.
Xie Wei is 14 years old this year, which is the age to say goodbye. Xie Rong has been walking around lately, and let them enter Beijing at this time. It's for this.
However, she remembered that in her previous life, the person Xie Wei married was just a scholar from a poor family, although it was not bad later, but at that time, it was not a family that could bring any reliable help to Xie Rong. Could it be that Xie Wei's family affairs will change in this life?
Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at Xie Wei, who was still immersed in the joy of rushing to Beijing, and did not notice her gaze at all.
And Huang's expression was much calmer, happy and happy. When I looked at my daughter, my eyes still showed a hint of difference.
"There's one more thing, the third sister can't guess anymore!"
Xie Yun saw that everyone was entangled in the topic of entering Beijing at this time, and no one paid attention to him, so he jumped out in a hurry and said: "Brother Jun of the Ren family has been admitted to Nanyuan County!" However, no one in their family studied with him, so he had to come to live in our house and go to our Qinghe to study with the eldest brother and the second brother! Uncle Ren has already said hello to the county school! ”
It took Xie Wan half a day to come back to his senses.
Ren Jun wants to come to live in the house and go to the county school with his buddies. And what does that mean?
She subconsciously looked at Xie Qi, Xie Qi's cheeks were flushed from the beginning, and the smile on his face never stopped.
It has only been more than a year since Xie Qi took away Ren Jun's jade, and it was like that at that time. The girl with a weak heart was afraid that she would really do something stupid, but not long after the incident, Mrs. Ren asked Ren Jun to come to Xie Mansion to live for a long time. Isn't she afraid that Ren Jun will really be falsely accused by Xie Qi?
Xie Wan felt that this Ren family was really incomprehensible.
But that's secondary. What matters on Xie Rong's side is what matters.
Xie Wan returned to the room with the front foot, and Zhao Zhen's letter arrived with the back foot.
There was only one sentence on the letter. Xie Rong has recently had a close relationship with Wei Xi, the younger brother of Wei Bin, the governor of the political council.
Xie Wan took his hand, and the tips of his fingers trembled inexplicably.
Wei Xian came to Xie Mansion uninvited, and then Xie Rong got in touch with the people of Wei Mansion, is this a coincidence, or did Xie Rong climb up the line provided by Wei Xian after knowing that Wei Xian had arrived in the Mansion to stay in Lian?
The literati circle is already wide, and those clear streams are always promoted by the level of talent and learning, Xie Rong has accumulated a lot of money, and his foundation is already thick, and now he has entered Hanlin, this is a living signboard, and he is a person who is very good at seizing opportunities, if it is in the name of the fifth master of the Qi family and his fellow science and scholar to make friends with the Wei Bin brothers, it is not impossible.
But I have the impression that Xie Rong is not the kind of person who takes the happiness of his children to pave the way for himself, although he is good at planning, he loves his family very much. Even if he had such an opportunity, he would definitely have asked them for his own opinion, so could it be Xie Wei's idea?
She remembered the picture of Hanmei painted by Wei Xian for Xie Wei as she was, and vaguely felt something.
In any case, Xie Wei is outstanding.
Although Wei Xian is the son of a third-grade master, he is not the eldest son, and what his future will be depends on his own creation.
So if she marries Wei Xian, it is not very high. And Xie Wei is calm and introverted, and the childish Wei Xian is definitely beneficial to the Wei family. And Xie Wei admires his father very much, and in his previous life, he regarded Xie Rong as a god-like figure, if the Wei family really fell in love with Xie Wei, then with this in-law, wouldn't Xie Rong's career have broadened a lot? Isn't it also in line with her psychology?
She frowned.
Theoretically, she had to stop the marriage. Whether it's her speculation or it's true, she wants to cut off this possibility. But in case this is also what Wei Xian meant...... She already owes him a favor, and if she ruins his marriage again, won't she become the one who will take revenge?
Things that were originally very clear involve this layer, and suddenly it becomes difficult to decide.
After thinking about it, he had to write back to Zhao Zhen, asking him to find a way to inquire about the inside story, and told him about the Huang family taking their children to Beijing, and also told him the possibility of the Wei Xie family getting married.
Unexpectedly, her letter was sent to Jingshi, and Luo Sheng came back from Cangzhou. Covered in dust and messy hair, he doesn't look like a decent shopkeeper, but like a refugee from a disaster.
At that time, when the shop was closing, Xie Wan came to the shop every day to count the accounts, and she was already half cold when she saw him like this.
Luo Sheng didn't expect that she would be watching in the shop every day these days, and he didn't even have time to go back to the room to clean up and come to see her again.
"What about Chang Wu?" She asked.
Luo Sheng was so angry that his beard trembled. Pointing out the window, he gritted his teeth and said, "This Chang Wu is actually a ruffian!" I brought the little one to the dock that night, and I took two people with me. It is said that it is the two foremen under the Cao Gang, and they want to negotiate the price of the ship silver with the small one. The little ones saw the signs on them. It was indeed the brand of the foreman, so he had the courage to talk to them.
"Later, it was agreed that a small ship of one hundred stones would be fifty taels of silver, and a medium-sized ship of one hundred and fifty stones of grain would be seventy taels of silver. The two foremen asked the little one for a deposit. The little ones didn't dare to give me any silver because they didn't have any food, so the two foremen slapped the table and threatened me, and then I had to give a deposit of fifty taels of silver for a small boat, but when the little ones went to look for them the next day, they were nowhere to be seen! ”
Xie Wan was silent for a long time and said, "Are you sure they are all the head workers under the Cao Gang?" ”
Luo Sheng nodded: "The little one is very sure!" ”
Xie Wan snorted slightly. "Although there are gang rules in the Cao Gang, they are mixed, and it is difficult for the people below to ensure that they all abide by the rules."
Luo Sheng bowed his head silently, speechless.
Xie Wan stood up and walked to the stairs: "Let's continue looking." ”
To be honest, she has great hopes for Luo Sheng to go to Cangzhou this time, although Chang Wu doesn't seem to be very reliable, but after all, he is also the person who is most likely to lead them to contact the inside of the Cao Ministry. Luo Sheng's failure couldn't help but disappoint her, but no matter how much she said at the moment, it was nonsense, which was originally a helpless move.
Luo Sheng also tried his best.
True. She can also go directly to the dock to go through the ordinary procedures to handle the consignment of rice and grain, but she doesn't know how much silver will be deducted, especially when she starts with such a small fight, she really can't withstand such exploitation. If you give all the money you earn to the Cao Gang. So why doesn't she continue to make a living for other small businesses?
Because of this delay, it was already dark when I went out, and at this time on weekdays. She had already washed up and gone to bed.
At present, except for a few restaurants on the road, almost all of them are closed.
She got into the carriage with a heavy heart. knocked on the wall of the car and let Luo Ju drive.
Yufang lowered the curtain so that no mosquitoes could fly in. But it doesn't have to be a bit stuffy. Yufang lowered her head to find the fan. I couldn't find it, and asked Xie Wan: "Where is the girl's fan?" ”
Xie Wan heard her say this, so he also interrupted his thoughts and went to the chair, where was the fan. After thinking about it, I used it to fan it when I was in the shop before, and I remember that it was conveniently placed in the pen holder in the attic - for the boudoir woman, the fan handkerchief is a personal item second only to intimate clothing, and it must not be left outside.
She knocked on the wall again, "Turn around and go back." ”
Luo Ju looked back and obediently turned the front of the car around.
The mule cart returned to Plum Alley, and soon, it was already approaching the silk shop.
Luo Sheng should also go back, there is no light in the shop.
Luo Ju got out of the car and knocked on the door, and Xie Wan, who was so hot that he was sweating, was helped out of the car by Yufang to breathe, waiting for Luo Yi to open the door from the inside.
The door opened, and Luo Yi couldn't help but show a little surprise when he saw Xie Wan coming back, and was about to go out to greet him, but before he could raise his legs and get out of the threshold, several black shadows had already fallen behind Xie Wan! Luo Yi's eyes were already wide, and immediately after, seven or eight masked people had already rushed up from behind, holding the door of the shop hostage, and blocking the four of Xie Wan into the door!
Yufang screamed in fright at the sudden turn of events, and one of the masked men immediately covered her mouth and slapped her.
Xie Wan was choked by his arm from behind, not to mention screaming, even if he was struggling to exhale.
Several people were gathered in the bunk.
"Girl!"
Luo Yi and Luo Ju, who were not hijacked, were panicked, but they didn't dare to make a mistake in the face of the bright and dangling big knife that stretched out!
Xie Wan was not only strangled by someone's neck, but also faced by two long knives, one left and one right, and the blade rested under his chin, looking at the danger of being cut at any time.
Luo Ju stared at these seven or eight people, and his eyes were so red that they were about to come out: "Who are you?" What do you want?! ”
"Never mind who we are! We just need money! Put five hundred taels of silver out, otherwise you will wait to go to Goolan Courtyard to find your three girls!" (To be continued.) )
