Chapter 111: Layout
The contradiction of the Xia family, because of the methods of Xia Jin's envoy, is well known to everyone in the Xia Mansion in the south of the city, and if the people in the third room make any moves, everyone will help to say a fair word. But these powerful people in the east of the city are not interested in learning about a trivial matter of the Langzhong family at all. They have a lot of things in their own homes. If Xia Zhengqian received a report from his subordinates, but did not go to his mother's doctor, he would definitely be criticized.
So knowing that the old lady was pretending to be sick, in front of all the patients, Xia Zhengqian was still depressed and took the medicine box to Xia Mansion to see the old lady.
Fortunately, Xia Jin knew that the old lady would not stop, so she set up her hands early to completely solve the problem of the old lady.
On this day, when she went to the small courtyard in the south of the city, she was stopped on the way. Xia Jin saw that the person who stopped the car was Liu San, so he ordered Lu Liang to let him get into the car.
As soon as Liu San got in the car, he said, "Master Xia, what you asked me to do is done." ”
"Oh?" She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Can you find out when he went to the Qinglou?" ”
"Figuring it out." Liu San nodded, "Generally, Shen Zheng goes over when he gets out of school, and he stays there for half an hour before going home." ”
A sneer appeared on the corner of Xia Jin's mouth.
The "he" in her mouth refers to Xia Zhengshen's youngest son and the old lady's heart.
She has always remembered the account of the original owner's death. It's just that since she crossed over, she has either been busy exercising her body and recovering her skills, or setting up a bureau to divide the three rooms, Xia Qi has not provoked the three rooms too much since she came, and she has no one to use. So put this matter aside, just wait for her to be free and settle accounts after the autumn.
Now, everything is ready. She was ready to toss the old lady and Xia Zhengshen, so she simply brought Xia Qi with her. Use him as a-stirring stick, and it will be easier to use.
"Staring first." She commanded, and then asked, "Those thugs have come to look for trouble again in the past two days?" ”
"Found." Liu San nodded, "When it was almost closed yesterday, two of them came over to buy two pieces of dim sum. After eating it on the spot, I insisted that my stomach hurt. If you want the shopkeeper to pay for the medicine, otherwise they will shout all over the city. The shopkeeper Dong persuaded them with good words, and took the money to compensate them, and then sent them away. ”
Xia Jin nodded. took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and handed it to Liu San: "This is Xie Yin, I have to trouble you to continue to keep an eye on those two places." ”
Liu San waved his hand and excused himself: "The son helped me a lot before." If it weren't for Childe, my life would have been gone. And the debt of that day was also paid back by Childe. Now to help this little favor, where do you need to pay the money? Didn't Xia Gongzi look down on me Liu San? ”
Xia Jin forced the silver into his hand and said, "If you treat me as a brother, you have to take this silver." You can't let me eat, and you're still watching Brother Liu starve, right? If you have any difficulties in the future, just look for me. My family is not rich. But there is always money for food. Don't refuse. ”
Liu San took the silver and squirmed in his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. But after all, he didn't say anything, only made a deep gesture, and turned and got out of the carriage.
Xia Jin watched Liu San's back disappear into the corner of the street, so he said to Lu Liang: "Let's go." ”
Lu Liang flicked his horsewhip and drove forward. After walking for a while, he couldn't help it. Said to the inside of the carriage: "Young master, such a person." You'd better have less contact. If the old lady knew, she might not be worried. ”
Xia Jin smiled: "It's okay. You can rest assured, this kind of person seems terrible, but in fact, he is the most righteous. than the people in the house over there, they are worthy of fellowship. ”
Lu Liang couldn't persuade him, so he sighed and stopped talking.
Although he has not been working for Xia Jin for a long time, he can also see it. This eldest lady of her own family has a big idea, has a wide range of knowledge, is shrewd, and has powerful means, but her own master is far behind her. With such a master, their family is considered to be dead-hearted, and there is no second heart.
Xia Jin closed his eyes slightly in the carriage, thinking about what Liu San said.
This Liu San is a new person she has adopted. His family was also wealthy and wealthy, and there were countless fields and shops in his family. It's a pity that because he is a single descendant of three generations, his parents doted on him tightly, and when he grew up, he became a loser who only knew how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and tossed the family away. As soon as his father and mother died, his wife also divorced and remarried him, and he had no children, so he lived alone for a day.
Although Liu San is a loser and lazy, he has one benefit, that is, he is angry. If you don't have any money, once you have money, you either give people emergency help, or invite people to drink, until you have to toss all the money. Because of this, there are his friends in the three religions and nine streams. In addition, he likes to go in and out of various occasions, and he knows a thing or two about the big and small things in this city, and he is very well-informed.
Xia Jin carried out tasks in his previous life, and he knew the usefulness of this kind of person best, and he also knew the means used to subdue these people. So after inquiring, one night, she "happened to meet" Liu San, who was blocked in a dead end and forced to pay debts, and after relieving him, she took out money to help him pay off his debts, and she didn't leave her name, so she just took the car and left.
Liu Sanyi is poor and white, where did he think that someone would be so deliberate to know him? After that night, he inquired around gratefully, and finally found "Xia Gongzi" who was kind to him and did not want to reciprocate, and stopped her at the gate of the small courtyard in the south of the city one evening and thanked her.
In Xia Jin's previous life, in order to complete the task, who she had not been in contact with? Even if she has a cold temperament, she is as skilled as eating and drinking.
Drink two glasses of wine with Liu San, call him a brother, and say some words with a level, Liu San immediately respected her as a god, although he did not bow his head and worshipped, but he also secretly made up his mind in his heart.
So after Xia Jin told about the troubles of the old lady and the uncle, and was worried that Zhiwei Zhai would be remembered, he not only helped to come up with ideas on how to deal with it, but also volunteered to help Xia Jin find out the news, and by the way, he helped Xia Jin keep an eye on Zhiwei Zhai's movements.
That's why we have today's dialogue.
After thinking about something, Xia Jin lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside, and ordered Lu Liang: "Go to North Street." ”
"Young Master!" Lu Liang's voice was helpless and embarrassed.
However, he knew Xia Jin's temper. I couldn't persuade him, so I had to turn the car around and drive towards North Street.
Got to North Street. After driving into an alley for a while, Xia Jin saw through the car window that there was a two-house building not far in front of him, the lanterns downstairs were hung high, the upstairs was carved and painted, and a few willow trees and some flowers were planted in front of the building. It's spring, and the willows are shady. The flowers are blooming brightly, and they look prosperous from a distance. The uninformed came to this place. I thought it was a prosperous place.
Xia Jin looked at it from a distance for a while, and then called Lu Liang: "Let's go, go to the small courtyard in the south of the city." ”
Lu Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to start with a flick of his horsewhip. Xia Jin suddenly saw a few people walking out of the building with the "Jinyunjian" sign in front of him, led by a young woman, seventeen or eighteen years old, eyes like autumn water, eyebrows like snails, elegant and refined temperament, in a group of women dressed up in flowers, like a lone open lily in a deep valley, it is unforgettable.
"Sister Wanrou. Go all the way. ”
"Wanrou, don't forget the kind of fat and rice ...... I said."
The others were probably seeing her off, each speaking what he was told.
At this time, the horse driven by Lu Liang had already trotted up. Gradually, that group of people became farther and farther away from Xia Jin. Xia Jin retracted his gaze, lowered the curtain, leaned back, and began to close his eyes to recuperate.
When he arrived at the small courtyard in the south of the city, Xia Jin unexpectedly found that Luo Qian was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea.
"Brother Luo. How do you have time to come? She walked over and asked with a smile.
Speaking of which, she hadn't seen Luo Qian for more than half a month.
Now Luo Qian's body has fully recovered. There is no need to take medicine anymore, and his actions are no different from ordinary people, Xia Jin does not need to go to Luofu twice in three days to see him. In addition, the two of them are busy with their own work, and if there is no common business of Zhiwei Zhai, the two are afraid that they will rarely have the opportunity to meet.
"I heard that you were coming today, and I was waiting for you here." Luo Qian said.
Xia Jin raised his eyebrows, walked to Luo Qian and sat down.
Luo Qian's little servant Leshui heard the voice, hurriedly came from under the corridor, poured Xia Jin a cup of tea, and retreated to the corridor to wait.
In this way, he can not only discover the needs of his master in time and come forward to serve, but he can not hear the conversation between his masters.
Xia Jin glanced at Le Shui enviously.
She came out this time, still as usual, without bringing anyone. Although Dong Fang signed the deed of sale, he still needs to adjust his mentality and hone his arrogance.
Luo Qian put a book in front of Xia Jin.
After seeing the words on it clearly, Xia Jin said in surprise: "It's printed, so fast?" ”
"This is a collection of Xiucai scientific examinations, the articles of the scientific examinations in previous years are in the hands of the provincial government, and I asked someone to talk about it, and I got it, so it is relatively fast." Luo Qian said, "No, no, I'll try it right away." After this time, it doesn't make sense. ”
"That's right." Xia Jin picked up this collection and flipped through it.
This book, Xia Qi is looking forward to it at home. I don't know how happy I will be when I bring him back today.
"That's for you." Luo Qian said. As he spoke, he handed over two more copies, "These two are for you to give you favors." ”
Xia Jin glanced at him suspiciously, took the two books and looked at them, and found that although the covers were the same, they were obviously thinner than the one she had in hand. When she turned to the back, she saw that there were several articles on the back of the book in her hand, which were not available in the two books. Moreover, the articles were copied by hand, and the ink was completely different from the engraving.
"This is ......," she looked up at Luo Qian.
"This is a few articles that I commented on when I was taking the children's exam. I thought it might be useful to you, so I transcribed it. ”
"Thank you." Xia Jin said gratefully.
Luo Qian handed her another piece of paper with an address and name written on it.
He said: "This old Mr. Cui Daiyuan is a man who has fallen behind, he teaches very well, and he has produced a lot of talents. But now that I'm older, I refuse to recruit any more students. Before I took the children's exam, I asked him for guidance. Are you free tomorrow? I'll take you over to get to know him, and you can come to your home from time to time during this time.
