ps: This chapter is made up, isn't it~

The night drama continues.

Qi Ruzheng was even more overjoyed when he heard that he had rested tonight. So one went to find Xie Lang, and the other went to find Xie Wei, Xie Wan didn't go anywhere, just talked with Yu in the backyard.

Ren Zhiyuan and his wife stayed because of Xie Qigong's strong stay, so they had to take Ren Dai to stay. When Ren Dai met Xie Wan again, there was no anger in her eyes, but turned into full of doubts. Of course, this may be because Xie Qi has led her around the whole game, and Xie Qi's transformation surprised everyone, as if the rude and willful second girl has disappeared since then.

The next morning, the carriages of the Ren family and the Qi family went the same way again.

The joy brought by the Xie family's official household lasted for several months.

With the difference in identity, the prestige of the Xie family in the local area has risen to a higher level, and since then it has become the first family in Qinghe County, Xie Qigong is busy with housework internally, and externally from time to time to show the good deeds of the official family, repairing the ancestral hall, donating temples, and receiving subordinate officials or squires who come to visit from all over the place, and he is very busy.

Xie Hong, as the only grandfather of the Xie family now, naturally serves before and after the saddle. As the head of the house, the Wang family has now become the official wife of the Qingliushi clan, so she naturally has to ask for advice everywhere on how to gradually cultivate into an old feudal monarch who is pampered and admired.

In this way, they put aside the other things for the time being.

During this period of time, the four shops in the hands of the second room have been opened one after another according to Xie Wan's plan, plus the one in Huangshi Town, the four shops are all the capital that Xie Wan has opened up and revitalized the second room now.

Now, as the head office of Li Zi Hutong, under Luo Sheng's fine tube, the profit has increased slightly every month.

And Liuye Hutong and Yumingfang in Qingyuan Prefecture are also in stable maintenance. Each of the two shops hired an old shopkeeper. One is surnamed Wu and the other is surnamed Zhang. Shen Tian was transferred to Yumingfang to follow Zhang's shopkeeper to learn to manage the accounts. Shopkeeper Zhang is old and stable, and Shen Tian has a good temperament, but he knows Xie Wan's temperament. So although it can't talk about making a lot of money, at least for now, it can protect the capital.

It can be operated with capital preservation without having to dig out money to pick up leaks. This is Xie Wan's original confession to the two shops.

As for the shop in Huangshi Town, the merchant girl invited to make money because of Xie Wan's original promise, and now she is full of enthusiasm and has increased her sales on the original basis.

Although the profit earned is limited, in this way, there is no need to worry about the tail goods of a few shops in the city, even if there is a backlog in the end, there is not much backlog, which is completely acceptable to Xie Wan.

Finally the early autumn passed. Late autumn ushered in.

As soon as the memorial day of Xie Teng and his wife passed, the second room was not served.

Xie Wan made a few new autumn clothes for his brother, stone blue and lake blue robes, ochre-red square-sleeved straight-sleeves and moon-white wide-sleeved straight-shirts, and matched various colors of jade around his waist according to the color of the clothes, and dressed him up gracefully every day. In addition, after this year, he has become a lot taller, and now when he goes out, he can always attract a lot of attention.

So much so that he entered the county school for less than a year. People outside already know that the second young master of the Xie family is not only good at learning, but also a gentle and elegant beautiful young man. In addition, he was very gentle and polite, so he gradually made people forget that this was a poor child who was too young to raise his young sister, and he couldn't help but be a little more polite when dealing with him.

Xie Lang is now with the help of Yinsuo and Yufang. I've gradually asked about things in the shop

And in the past, he didn't care, because he found that his sister's words would never be wrong, and he would wear whatever Xie Wan asked him to wear. Let him do what he wants, even. He will say whatever he wants, but now it is different. Although he still doesn't interfere with any of Xie Wan's decisions, he occasionally asks about the business status of the shop, and then he can also recognize the name of the silk in the shop.

After all, the difficulties he will face in the future are not imaginable now, Xie Wan can only be the force behind him forever, and he will not be able to overcome obstacles in the court for him. And because he has been inactive for more than ten years, he also has no opinion on Xie Wan's arrangement. This does save a lot of trouble for interpretation, but it is also a headache for trying to fundamentally reverse his insistence on the necessary defenses.

But you can't get fat by eating in one go, so take your time.

Because Xie Lang was often present when he saw Luo Sheng's affairs, even if he had sometimes seen him talk directly to Xie Wan, he didn't take it as an extremely important matter.

However, the Wang family told Xie Qigong behind his back, but there are only two masters in the second room, how many things can there be? Xie Wei has also been learning to run a family with the Huang family since he was eight years old, and it is not a big deal for Xie Wan to help manage the middle feed, for him, it is reasonable to occasionally ask about things in the shop.

So when Xie Qigong inquired about Xie Lang on a whim, he also let Xie Lang deal with it successfully, and so far, no one has found that the middle feed of the second room is all in Xie Wan's hands.

"Recently, that Miss Wang has been diligent when she came to the mansion, and she specially picked the second young master to come to the Yifeng Courtyard when she got out of school, and I don't know what it means."

On this day, Yufang took advantage of Xie Wan's lunch break to feed the fish, and complained like this.

Miss Wang is Wang Geng's second daughter, Wang Anmei's sister Wang Simei, who is eleven years old.

When singing the big opera in the house, he met Xie Lang in the corridor with Wang, and then Wang invited Wang Simei to come over to play from time to time, and then called Xie Lang and Xie Wan to the main courtyard to play with him. After coming and going many times, Wang Simei didn't need Wang's orders, so she found Yifeng Courtyard by herself, and sometimes stayed until dark and didn't leave, making it inconvenient for Yufang and them to bolt the door.

What is Wang's mind, if Xie Wan doesn't know, it would be too abnormal.

She climbed over the porch, jumped off the patio, poked the carp in the pool, and said, "Do what you have to do, and be afraid of what she will do." ”

The two fish have strong vitality, and they have grown to more than a foot long in the two-zhang square pool, and they are very fat. And because they sat in the well and watched the sky, they always thought that Xie Wan and the others were also their kind, and when they saw someone coming forward, they came over with their mouths open, rubbing their heads to please what they wanted to eat. Xie Wan would occasionally tease them, but there were outsiders there. But no, because I don't want to be misunderstood about Ren Juncun.

"The slave is not afraid of her. The slave hated her. ”

Yufang muttered quietly. She spends most of her time by Xie Lang's side now. I can see that there are more girls who come to Xie Lang. Even He Chengsu and He Tong judged the two girls of the family, and when they saw the second young master, they were all in a proper manner, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads. People like Wang Simei dare to openly beat the idea of the second young master, it's really a toad who wants to eat swan meat!

Thinking that Xie Lang, who was like jade, was actually remembered by someone like Wang Simei, she felt a little resentful for no reason.

However, Xie Wan poked the fish's head lightly, and didn't notice her at all.

"Second cousin, my grandfather's birthday will be celebrated in a few days, will you go?"

As he was talking, Xie Lang, who walked in from outside the door, followed by Wang Simei, who was looking at him closely.

"No, no."

Xie Lang's brows were furrowed, and his face was as stinky as a cutting board that hadn't been washed for three years.

"Don't follow me. I'm going to talk to Wan Wan. ”

"Is there anything I can't hear? Sister Wan is also my cousin. ”

There was a string of rapid breathing from Xie Lang at the door.

Xie Wan also understood his mood very well. A cheeky girl like Wang Simei, not to mention that there is no one in a big family, even among the common people, it is only afraid that it is rare. If it were another boy, I was afraid that she would not be able to get off the stage by speaking out, but it was Xie Lang who couldn't bear to beat even a maid.

She got up from the pool, walked down the stone steps to the bottom of the porch, stared at Wang Simei with both eyes, and followed her twice.

Without concealing it, her eyes are different from those of children of the same age. Even ordinary adults are hardly as sharp as her, Wang Simei was stared at by her for such a moment, and she was a little at a loss.

"When is your grandfather going to be a shou?" Xie Wan asked.

She pursed her lips: "September twenty-six." "It's weird, she's obviously younger than herself. But in the face of her question, she couldn't help answering.

Xie Wan stretched out his hand: "Please post it?" ”

Wang Simei's eyes widened: "You want to go?" ”

Xie Wan pursed his lips: "Didn't you say that I was also your cousin?" ”

Wang Simei came back to her senses and jumped up: "I'll go get it!" ”

She didn't expect that someone would really go to the second room, so she didn't prepare the invitation. Write now. Hopefully it's in time! Although Xie Lang didn't go in person, didn't he get close to Xie Lang indirectly by having a good relationship with Xie Wan?

She was delighted.

Xie Lang was complaining about Xie Wan.

"How can we go and congratulate the people of the Wang family on their birthday?" He simply couldn't stand it.

Xie Wan looked at him with blushing cheeks. He said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of?" If I hadn't gone to congratulate him on his birthday, he would never have died. ”

Xie Lang choked. Speechless.

Wang Simei quickly sent an invitation, and Xie Wan put it on her desk and told her that she would definitely come to the door to congratulate her.

In fact, the Wang family was also surprised, so she specially explained that Wang Simei wanted to ask her whether she would go with the Wang family and the Huang family in the early morning of the twenty-sixth day, or if she would wait for a car to go over to find out the truth.

Xie Wan said: "Naturally, I will go with my wife." ”

Wang Simei was relieved.

After she left, Xie Wan called Luo Ju.

"How is Li Ershun over there?"

Luo Ju said: "As the girl guessed, recently, Lord Zhao was preparing to return to Beijing at the end of the year to report on his work, and I heard that he had sent several letters to various places in Beijing, some of which were replied to, and some of which were not. Li Ershun couldn't inquire about the specific situation, so he didn't know if he had found a way. ”

Xie Wan said: "What about the eldest young master of the Zhao family? ”

Zhao Zhen and his wife have always felt that they owe their eldest son, so no matter where they go, they always take this eldest young master with them.

"The eldest young master of the Zhao family is still the same, in addition to eating and drinking Lazar every day, he sits in the yard and counts ants or is in a daze. The mind is like that of a child of three or four years old. Last time, the girl asked him if he had a tendency to beat people, but it seems that there is no such thing as him. Nothing but stupidity. ”

Xie Wan played with a pen on the table for a moment, raised his eyes and said, "You go and tell Li Ershun and let him find an opportunity to remind Zhao Zhen that we are in close contact with Lord Jin Yongjin." ”

Luo Ju nodded and wanted to leave, but she suddenly stopped him again: "Forget it, don't say it yet." ”

Luo Ju had never seen her hesitate like this, and couldn't help but show a look of doubt on her face.

Xie Wan sighed: "Let's talk about it later, I'm not very sure at the moment." ”

The reason why she went to the Wang family to celebrate her birthday was nothing more than to get close to Wang Anmei, the marriage of the two families of Zhao and Wang has always been hanging in her heart, this matter is not all harmful to her, as long as she grasps it properly, it will be of great benefit to her.

Zhao Zhen is a master of officialdom after all, what she lacks most now is the power of officialdom, she not only wants to completely defeat the Xie Mansion, but also helps Xie Lang become the pillar of the second room - no matter how capable she is, she can't go to the court to be an official, and fight against Xie Rong, right? But if there is no connection, no matter how talented Xie Lang is, no matter how good he is in business, it is difficult to get a good development.

Therefore, in addition to accumulating her own financial and human resources, she also has to cultivate reliable forces for Xie Lang's future employment.

Jin Yong is the only line she can grasp at present, if Zhao Zhen is added, it is a more reliable line, but she is really not sure if Jin Yong will help her, if she has this matchmaking work, and Zhao Zhen can stay in Beijing, then the situation will be very different.

It's just that she doesn't know what Wang Anmei's mind is now, so she feels that it is not appropriate to throw this message to Zhao Zhen too early. (To be continued.) )
