Chapter 409: Autumn is thick, and people are confused
When he arrived at Cuiyong Courtyard, when Le Qing left with his subordinates, Xiaoyue carefully inspected the entire courtyard.
However, halfway through, she met Xing Xiaoyu doing the same work as her.
"Such a coincidence?" Satsuki greeted him with a smile.
Xing Xiaoyu stared at her with wide eyes, "Why don't you go back to the room to rest, what are you running around?"
Xiao Yue threw a roll of the eyes at him, "This place is unfamiliar, why don't I go shopping?"
Xing Xiaoyu raised the lantern in his hand, looked at Xiaoyue, and said helplessly: "What is there to visit this big night, let's go shopping during the day tomorrow." ”
Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Then what are you doing?"
Xing Xiaoyu pointed at himself, and then said: "This is my job, and it's not yours, you go to sleep quickly, there are still many things to do tomorrow!"
Xiao Yue shook her head, "I'm not sure, I'd better look at the environment." ”
Xing Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Gongzi Wen, you are still not down-to-earth? Who is Brother Meng? The play you are acting in is like this every day, just like the singing in the troupe, I don't even dare to speak, for fear of misleading you." ”
Xiao Yue sneered, "Isn't this an expedient measure?" ”
Xing Xiaoyu looked at the surrounding environment, and then said to Xiao Yue, "There is a small pavilion next to the pond in front, let's go sit for a while, you tell me your plan, and I can cooperate with you." ”
Roca has money, and it will enjoy.
Cuiyong Courtyard is just a small courtyard with three entrances and three exits, but whether it is the blue-gray stone bricks of the courtyard, the dark red doors and windows, the carved beams and columns, and the rattan tables and rattan chairs in the house, all of them show delicacy and elegance.
The two walked through the long side corridor and came to a small wooden pavilion.
Sitting on the stone bench in Leng Qinqin, Xiao Yue felt a little uncomfortable, so she stood up and said with a smile: "Just ask whatever you want, the scenery here is good, I'll stand up and take a look." ”
Xing Xiaoyu didn't pay much attention to these details, after he sat down, he put the lantern on the stone table, and then said: "It's autumn, it's a little cold at night, after finishing business, you better go back to the house and rest." If you get sick, I'll blame you. ”
"Okay. Xiao Yue stood by the pond, felt a little cold, hugged her coat, and then said: "The Lejia side thought that we were Hu Ji people, and I used the name of a British money bank, so they lent us this yard. ”
"What about the master?"
Xiao Yue thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "Le Ji probably thinks that the master is me, anyway, they haven't seen me in person." ”
"Yes, that's good. Xing Xiaoyu looked at the rockery on the opposite side of the pond, "Wait for me to check it well tonight, and I think it's safe here, so you can stay here and wait for me." ”
"Where are you going tomorrow?"
"I'll go back to Sancha Lake tomorrow to set up the yard I rented before, and then wait for the master to come over. ”
"Yes, that's fine. Xiao Yue thought that if she stayed here, she could also inquire about the situation of the Huang family.
"Then you take care of your own safety. Xing Xiaoyu said with some concern, "Since the Huang family can encourage those people in the salt industry to go to the state capital to make trouble, it shows that they attach great importance to the salt well. Even if you say you're a nonsense person, they'll probably be angry with you. ”
"Yes. Xiao Yue sighed, "However, I live in Leji's courtyard now, and I'm afraid they won't dare to trouble me easily." ”
"The Huang family has a lot of relationship with the Lejia?" Xing Xiaoyu asked puzzled.
"Not really, the Huang family is just asking for pleasure now. Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry about me, busy with you, I'll go back to the house to rest." ”
Satsuki carried her lantern and went back to her room to rest.
may be because the environment is too unfamiliar, and Xiaoyue didn't sleep well all night.
As soon as it was dawn, she rolled over and got up.
She is not used to being served on weekdays, and there are no people in this courtyard now, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
Xing Xiaoyu helped her boil hot water in advance, and then drove back to Sancha Lake.
After Xiaoyue finished freshening up, she went out shopping to see what the legendary Taiping County of the Huang family looked like.
Taiping County is like an ancient town, the roads in the county are paved with cyan stone bricks, there are not many people on the street, it is very cold.
There are only a few shops along the street, all of which sell daily necessities, and there are no shops in Leji.
Satsuki wandered along the road and didn't meet a few passers-by.
However, when she saw that there were still some people in the restaurant, she was overjoyed, so she went in and sat down to order a few side dishes, and listened to the chatter of the people around her while eating.
She saw several men sitting around a table, drinking and chatting.
So, she pricked up her ears and listened carefully to what they were saying.
"Have you heard? In a few days, the state capital will come to the county seat. ”
"You know, this has been spreading for a long time. ”
"The point is what it seems to be... The officials of the household department are also coming!"
"It's the yamen who bought the salt well?"
"Yes, yes, that's the household. ”
"In this way, the Huang family's salt well must not be guaranteed. ”
"Who said it wasn't, the Huang family swore to our foreman that they would definitely not sell the salt well to the imperial court, and they would also give us processing money, all of which were fake!"
"Shhhhh
"Today, the foreman and they all went to Sancha Lake, saying that the imperial court bought a salt well, so they didn't let us go to the well, and they wanted to find another person. ”
"Could this be another trick?"
"I don't know, but you all know that the guys on the other side of Sancha Lake have been angry with us for a long time. ”
"Don't say it, don't say it, the people of the Huang family are here. ”
The men suddenly fell silent.
Xiao Yue looked at a person dressed like a bookkeeper at the door, and the first thing he did when he entered the door was to walk to a position near the window, and then shouted:
"Boss, one pound of braised beef, two taels of osmanthus wine. ”
"Okay, Lin Ledger, wait a minute, the beef has just come out of the pot, I'll cut it fresh for you." ”
"Yes. Lin looked at the scenery outside the window and fell into deep thought.
When the men saw Lin Ledger, they felt relieved and began to talk again.
"It's him, you're scared me to death. ”
"He is also a member of the Huang family!"
"Hey, it's just a foreign surname, and he can't intervene in the affairs of the Huang family. ”
"Don't say that, Lin is a good man, every time he goes to settle the salary, he calculates very well, and there is no mistake. ”
"Look at his sad look, will the Huang family sell the salt well and dismiss him? ”
"There is this possibility, especially the young master of the Huang family, tsk... ”
"Forget it, don't talk about it, drink and drink, drink this little wine, go back to sleep for a while, and work at night." ”
Xiao Yue listened to these gossips and became interested in the Lin account room sitting in front of her.
