Chapter 355 of the list of chapters is difficult

Xue Mingrui looked at Rong Hua and smiled slightly, ......, Rong Chuan told me, if you want to go out to buy something, let his wife accompany you." ”

It can't be that I heard the gossip of the people below. Rong Hua said: "Everything is complete at home, there is nothing to buy, so the old lady asked people to add things to my room, even if I use it all the time, I can't use it up."

Even if she had a rich dowry like Ren Jingchu, she wouldn't be this kind of flower.

Xue Mingrui said: "I really haven't done any business outside these years, but Rongchuan has opened two shops, if you see it, let people help open one." ”

Rong Hua couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, "Master Hou, our family doesn't need so much money. "Over the years, the emperor has been suspicious of the Xue family and still has the intention of supporting King Xuan, she doesn't know how Xue Mingrui has come over these years, although Mrs. Xue loves Xue Mingrui a lot, but she is not a biological mother after all, and the difference is only clear to Xue Mingrui himself.

Every time Mrs. Xue saw Xue Mingrui, she would think of An Guogonglai, and often shed tears in front of Xue Mingrui. Xue Mingrui has had such pressure since he was a child, he is more thoughtful than others, for the sake of the dead Duke An Guo and his biological mother, for King Xuan and the Xue family, Xue Mingrui cautiously walked to today's position, which is beyond the reach of others, where can he still cover everything, and even know the business experience.

Rong Hua talked about his plans, "I don't have much money in my hand, but it is enough for temporary use, if Yishuang's family affairs are settled, we can still help my mother prepare Yishuang's dowry", "The silver money left by her grandmother is enough for her to turnover," next year I can also buy some land in Shandong and hire long-term workers, if the cotton grows well, why bother to open a store in Beijing." ”

Looking at Rong Hua's translucent appearance, Xue Mingrui didn't interrupt her and asked her to continue counting.

"There are a lot of nobles who do business outside, and not all of them are crowded in the capital, although it is convenient to use their power without permission, it is more practical to be able to do business in the open."

If you have made this plan, you should be mentally prepared. Xue Mingrui looked at Rong Hua's excited appearance, put his mind at ease, and then got to the point" "Last time you asked me to send someone to Xidong, the two people sent out have already come back. ”

Rong Hua raised his head when he heard this, in fact, this is what Xue Mingrui wanted to say to her.

"There is a famine in Xidong, I heard that the plague has gradually spread past, the court has cut off the road to Xidong, the third master of the Shen family and your companion Wang Bao have no news, one of the people sent out by our family tried to make a detour to Xidong, and the other came back to report the news, if there is still no news after a few months, I am afraid it will be more auspicious."

The people sent by Xue Mingrui blamed Xidong regardless of the danger...... Everyone knows that even if you can find a way to get in, you won't be able to get out.

Rong Hua was stunned, "Why is the third master of the Shen family ......?"

Xue Mingrui took Rong Hua's hand, "It has nothing to do with you, Shen Ditian can let people take the seeds to the south to try planting, how can he not buy land to try, Shen Ditian's interest in farming is well known to everyone in Kyoto." ”

Rong Hua's frowning brows only loosened a little, "But I'm going to try planting saline-alkali land." The Shen family only said that it was possible, and she did it first. The imperial court wanted to try high-yield, easy-to-grow crops, and the places where there was a lot of famine were thin fields and saline-alkali land, if the crops could not grow in these places, "even if they were planted, what could they do, so she decided to let Wang Bao take the seeds to eastern Zhejiang."

"There will be a famine almost every year, I should have thought of it...... "But I didn't expect the plague to follow" Rong Hua pursed his lips before asking about the current situation of the Shen family.

Jinxiu came into the house and said, "The second master is here." ”

Brother Hong came, and Rong Hua raised his head to look at Xue Mingrui.

"I asked Brother Hong to come over, I wanted to let him come over earlier, but Brother Hong came out of the Shen Mansion at this hour." Xue Mingrui didn't see any special expression on his face, but the corners of his eyes were slightly wrinkled.

If it weren't for Xue Mingrui's side for a long time and he couldn't understand what he meant, Xue Mingrui was the brother who cared about her and let people pick him up.

Brother Hong entered the house and was a little surprised to see Xue Mingrui at home, "stepped forward and saluted Xue Mingrui and Rong Hua in a proper manner, and then sat next to Rong Hua."

After a while, the restraints on Brother Hong's body gradually relaxed, and he glanced sideways at Xue Mingrui cautiously, "Only then did he say, "How is my sister doing these two days?" I've always wanted to come over, but I didn't have time. ”

Brother Hong and Xue Mingzhe studied with General Shen Lao, and she could also listen to Xue Mingzhe if there was any news. Yesterday, Xue Yiwan also said: "Mingzhe came back from Shen's house every day to eat, fell asleep on the bed, and sometimes refused to even change his clothes." It can be seen how strict General Shen's disciples are.

When she saw Brother Hong today, she was prepared, but she was still a little surprised. I haven't seen him for a few days, and the brother Hong in front of me is much thinner than before, he has grown a lot, his voice has become thicker, his eyebrows are a little heroic, and he is sitting there a little calm, no longer the younger brother who will only withdraw from her.

Rong Hua nodded, "I'm fine, if there is anything, let Mingzhe bring you the news." ”

Brother Hong was relieved, "I thought my sister was worried all the way." As he spoke, he habitually reached out to take the tea bowl on the low table beside Rong Hua.

As soon as Brother Hong opened the tea lid, Xue Mingrui's slender eyebrows raised, glanced at it, and coldly ordered Jinxiu next to him, "Pour tea for the second master"

Brother Hong heard this, "When he raised his head, he saw that Xue Mingrui had sunk his face, his eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes were sharp, and he was so frightened that he returned the tea in his hand to the low table.

As soon as Brother Hong put down the teacup, Chunyao had already brought the brewed new tea and sent it over, and Brother Hong hurriedly went to pick up the tea bowl. In the past, I always went to the fifth sister's house to sit, and I was used to taking the fifth sister's tea to drink without waiting for the maid to serve tea, but I only felt thirsty just now, and forgot that my brother-in-law was still next to me for a while.

Rong Hua saw Brother Hong's stunned appearance, and Jinxiu next to him also had an ugly face. Brother Hong is not young, no wonder Xue Mingrui restrains him. With a lesson, Brother Hong will not dare to be rude in front of others in the future.

Brother Hong just knows that he is wrong.

Rong Hua opened his mouth to relieve Brother Hong, "There is no news from the third master of the Shen family in the south, how is the Shen family 9"

Brother Hong glanced at Xue Mingrui again, straightened his back, sat more presently, there was no playful expression on his face, and said seriously: "I also heard about Shen Sanye, but the teacher never mentioned family matters in front of us, and we didn't dare to ask, I secretly inquired about the next person, saying that the third grandmother of the Shen family was suddenly ill, and the teacher had no good medicine at home with a clean sleeve, so I don't know when it will improve." The servants of the Shen family also volunteered to go to Xidong to find Shen Sanye, but the teacher was not allowed to go, only saying that in addition to the plague over there, the court would naturally open the road, and there would naturally be news at that time. ”

Hearing this, Rong Hua couldn't help but admire Old General Shen. It's not that General Shen doesn't want people to find Shen Sanye's whereabouts, but he doesn't want to put his family in danger casually, after all, there is a plague that kills people in Xidong, and he may not be able to find Shen Sanye if he goes there, and he will have to pay more people's lives. Although Shen Ditian is a weak scholar, he has the same temperament as the old general Shen, Shen Ditian has already obtained the qualification of a student, but for the sake of the seeds planted by the imperial court, he did not even participate in this year's autumn season. The Shen family didn't even stop Shen Ditian from coming like this.

After all, the imperial examination is a way for the imperial court to take scholars, and giving up the imperial examination is equivalent to giving up one's future, missing this year's autumn festival, and if Enke does not come back, he will have to wait for three years.

Rong Hua looked at Xue Mingrui.

Xue Mingrui frowned, "I'll ask the Shen family what medicine they lack, and you're going to come out and let the family send it." ”

Rong Hua nodded, "Let's let Mingzhe send it, Old General Shen's temper ...... "Even if Xue Mingrui and Old General Shen have a relationship, it is not as good as sending medicine to his own students."

Rong Hua is delicate and thoughtful. Xue Mingrui looked at Rong Hua with a soft gaze, "If the people sent out find Shen Ditian, they will definitely try their best to save his life", "As he spoke, he went to see Brother Hong again, his eyes deepened again, "Tomorrow you will see Old General Shen and speak tactfully." ”

Brother Hong nodded hurriedly, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I can handle this matter." After talking about the Shen family, Rong Hua directly joined the Tao family in front of Xue Mingrui.

Brother Hong looked angry, "The family is like that, my uncle and my uncle are still in the house, persuading my mother to sell this and sell that, the brocade in the library said that it sounds good and I am afraid that it will be ruined, so I take it out and sell it, in fact, the good ones are all let my uncle take them, and the bad ones are sold for some silver, saying that they took some silver money to deal with my father's affairs, who doesn't know the tricks inside", "Saying that, he looked at Rong Huadao, "Uncle and Mrs. also invited the tooth mother-in-law, to lead the girls out of the house, and kept saying that the grandmother was gone, and the sisters were also married, The family doesn't need these subordinates, and besides, my father's case is greedy for ink, and it is not good for the family to go out to intercede with such a big show, and I want my mother to sell the garden and move to the courtyard of Sanjin to live. ”

At this point, Mrs. Tao should not fail to see a clue. The trust in my brother will also turn into suspicion, especially when there is a loyal mother Chen by my side. The heat she wanted was almost finished.

Brother Hong said: "Sister still remember the coral in my room?" used to be a girl in the second sister's room, and I have promoted her to a second-class girl. ”

Before, Xia Tao quarreled with Brother Hong in front of her because Brother Hong wanted to mention coral as a second-class girl.

Brother Hong looked at Xue Mingrui and said timidly: "I keep the coral just to find out the ...... in the future."

It turned out that Brother Hong's coral also meant this, and she thought that Brother Hong was young and would not understand this layer.

Brother Hong said: "My uncle's wife wants to bring my mother-in-law to my house, and I will definitely keep Xia Tao is a first-class girl", "There is some firmness in his eyes, "Other people are not necessarily." ”

Brother Hong is trying to force Coral to tell the truth. Only a girl with a heart for herself is worth staying by.

Yaohua was able to give the girl around her to Brother Hong, which shows that the girl doesn't know much. However, it doesn't matter if Coral knows about Yaohua or not, what matters is whether she is willing to listen to Brother Hong.
