Chapter 87: Aunt Xue's thoughts
Yeongkookfu, Ixiangwon.
"What should I do?"
Aunt Xue was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth.
At this time, the mother-in-law's voice came from outside, "Grandma, Grandma Lian is here!" ”
"Ahh Come in, please. ”
Aunt Xue was overjoyed, like a person who was about to drown and suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw.
After a while, Wang Xifeng hurriedly walked in, saw Aunt Xue waiting at the door, and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, what's the urgency?" ”
"Come on! Come! Come! Sit down first. ”
Aunt Xue pulled her to sit down, sighed and said: "My son, the Xue family's store in the West Market was targeted, and the shopkeeper Liu sent someone to send an urgent message, saying that the other party had a fearless posture, and it was estimated that the person who came was not good!" ”
"Didn't the shopkeeper report the name of the uncle and the house?"
Hearing this, Aunt Xue waved her hand again and again, "My son, the three of us mother and son living in the house are already harassing, where do you dare to use the name of the house outside, as for your uncle, his career is not smooth, let alone involve him." ”
Wang Xifeng nodded, Aunt Xue was very good at talking, she hurriedly smiled and said to Aunt Xue: "Aunt is too foreign, she is all her own people, what bothering is not disturbing, if this is heard by the old lady, we will definitely blame us as juniors for not entertaining our elders and relatives." ”
"My son.... With your words, my heart is much more comfortable. ”
Aunt Xue patted Wang Xifeng's hand, tears rolled down her face, Wang Xifeng hurriedly wiped away Aunt Xue's tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Auntie, let's talk about what is going on first, let's discuss what to do!" ”
"That's right! Right! ”
Aunt Xue wiped the corners of her eyes, then sighed and said: "Speaking of which, this matter is still strange to Pan'er, half a month ago, the family pawnshop suddenly received a big deal, this person was known when Pan'er went to business, that is, on the way back to Juyongguan for the household department to escort grain and grass, it is said that his ancestral home is Sichuan, when he learned that the Xue family has a pawnshop in the West City, he stored his property in several other pawnshops in the West City were transferred to Hengshudian, a month of three thousand taels of preservation fees. ”
"The First Evolution"
"Does this person know the relationship behind the Xue family?"
"Hmm!"
Aunt Xue nodded and said, "The errand of escorting grain and grass was that King Liang only nodded when he saw the face of Xifu, which is not a secret in the escort team. ”
Speaking of this, he glanced at Wang Xifeng, and then continued: "At that time, Shopkeeper Liu once said that those people are not like normal businessmen, at least not serious businessmen, in addition, the pawnshop has rules and cannot eat alone, but Pan'er, this kid does not listen to persuasion, so he has to make this deal." Shopkeeper Liu said, there is a lot of relationship behind these families, it is said that behind them are high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China, and now they dare to make trouble, the other party will definitely not give up easily...."
At this time, Wang Xifeng also understood the cause and effect, she really couldn't figure out why the Xue family had to open a pawnshop, this is not a good thing to buy*** I had to attract hatred when I put the money in the print, the Xue family has earned 20,000 taels of silver in less than half a year after entering Beijing under the care of Jia Jue, intentionally or unintentionally, which is equal to the total income of Rongguo Mansion in the first two years, but she can't say anything, after all, this is the Xue family's business.
Aunt Xue was so anxious that her eyes were red, and it was difficult to speak directly, looking at Wang Xifeng in a daze.
Wang Xifeng lowered her head, and only after a while did she whisper: "Uncle Zhen of Dongfu is getting better, I invited the second master of Lian to come over to eat and drink, and congratulate Brother Rong for gaining a firm foothold in the barracks, it is estimated that he has drunk a lot at this time, and the second master has gone to the palace, as for the eldest master, ..... there."
“.....”
Aunt Xue was stunned, she understood that Wang Xifeng knew what she meant.
Wang Xifeng sighed and said, "The old lady has already spoken, and she is not allowed to cause trouble to the third brother." ”
"This, this ....."
Tears welled up in Aunt Xue's eyes, and she said sadly, "What do you say to do now?" Otherwise, I'll take out this old face and beg the old lady..."
With that, she walked out the door.
Xue Baochai walked in hurriedly, happened to collide with Aunt Xue, hurriedly supported Aunt Xue, and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
Mrs. Wang was sick, she went to visit early in the morning, and then went to ask Jia's mother to say goodbye, accompanied by talking and laughing for a while, and went to Mengyunxuan to talk to Daiyu with Yingchun, who came to ask Jia's mother to say goodbye, a group of people said that they would have dinner together, and suddenly the mother-in-law said that something was wrong at home, so she hurried home to see.
Aunt Xue stroked her daughter's head, tears rolled down again, Baochai hurriedly wiped away her mother's tears with a handkerchief, and asked, "Where did my brother go?" ”
Wang Xifeng saw that Aunt Xue was absent-minded, so she walked up and said, "Your brother has gone to the pawnshop." ”
Then, he told Baochai again the news he got from Aunt Xue.
"So people are coming prepared?"
Aunt Xue nodded, "That's true, but these people are too arrogant, the Ruishi Camp searched the West Market in the morning and didn't search our shop, why are they so bullying!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Xifeng's heart was tired for a while, if it weren't for Jia Jue, would you see if the Ruishi Camp would check the Xue family's store?
However, this sentence also reminded her, and immediately said: "I heard that the third brother is in Dongcheng, maybe he has already gotten the news, maybe he has already dealt with this matter, I don't think we have to worry too much......
At this moment, the mother-in-law's voice sounded outside the door, "Grandma, the second steward is back." ”
Aunt Xue reacted suddenly, most likely because there was an accident at the pawnshop, so she said to Baochai: "You go and sit in the room." ”
As soon as Baochai turned around and walked into the inner room, Aunt Xue sat up straight and said, "Let him in." ”
The curtain of the door was lifted, and the second steward walked in, and he stepped forward and bowed, "Madam! ”
I caught a glimpse of Wang Xifeng standing on the side, and hurriedly saluted, "Second grandma." ”
Wang Xifeng waved his hand, "Tell me what's going on!" ”
"Back to Mrs. and Grandma, Shopkeeper Liu asked me to report the news, and the matter has been resolved...."
"Really!"
Aunt Xue was overjoyed, she stood up quickly, suddenly felt that she had lost her temper, and hurriedly sat down again, "Tell me what's going on?" What about you uncles? ”
"Those scoundrels came to our store to make trouble at the invitation of those pawnshops, and they also brought long knives and sticks, if it wasn't for the uncle who arrived in time, our shop would definitely be smashed...... On the way here, he met the uncle, he asked his wife to report his safety, and he went to receive the uncle. ”
"That's good! That's it! ”
Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How did those troublemakers deal with it?" ”
"This.... This...."
"What's wrong?"
Aunt Xue was slightly startled, could it be released?
Wang Xifeng couldn't see the reply of the subordinates, his face sank, and he said unhappily: "Say it quickly!" ”
Although the second steward is a descendant of the Xue family, he knows that Wang Xifeng is not something he can slack off, especially when he saw Jia Jue's methods, he didn't dare to anger this second grandmother Lian, swallowed his saliva, and said in a low voice: "Back to grandma's words, the troublemaker was killed by the pro-soldiers in the house and on the street, and the person who led the troublemaker was also shot with an arrow in front of the uncle in front of the street patrol forbidden army..."
Then, the second steward explained the process of the matter in detail.
At this time, Wang Xifeng saw Aunt Xue stunned, so he said to the second steward: "You go down first." ”
"Yes."
The second steward saw Aunt Xue nodding silently, and withdrew.
Listening to the footsteps outside getting farther and farther away, Baochai walked out of the room, looked at Aunt Xue who was still in a trance, and said, "Mother, although they are relatives, they still have to thank them with generous gifts." ”
Aunt Xue's face relaxed, and she hurriedly said, "What you said is right, you should send a generous gift to thank you." ”
Speaking of this, he said to Wang Xifeng: "My son, I still bother you to run on a cold day, and when Pan'er comes back, let him personally thank you and Lian'er." ”
Wang Xifeng smiled when he heard this: "What my aunt said made me embarrassed, since it's okay, I'll go back first, there are still things to finish in front of me." ”
"You phoenix girl!"
Aunt Xue smiled and said to Baochai again, "You send your sister Feng for me." ”
After a while, Baochai returned to the house, poured a bowl of tea for Aunt Xue, and said, "Talking in Auntie's house early in the morning, Aunt Feng said that Feng Yatou is becoming more and more domineering. Not only did she dismiss several housekeepers' wives, but even the head of the treasury was replaced by her henchmen. ”
Aunt Xue's heart was like a mirror, she understood the meaning of Baochai's words, took the tea bowl and took a sip, and sighed: "Now Lian'er has made up for the real shortage, is the fifth grade, half a grade higher than your uncle, the most important thing is to hold the real power in her hand, plus the one in Xifu, Feng Yatou's waist can not be straight, besides, her temper has always been like this." ”
Speaking of this, after thinking about it, he reminded Baochai: "She is your sister, don't be slack." ”
Baochai lowered his head, and only after a while did he whisper: "Got it." ”
Aunt Xue sighed again and said, "Mom knows that you are high-spirited, but you must recognize the reality." Feng Yatou is straightforward, we have no conflict of interest with her, besides, when it comes to family affection, we are closer. ”
Speaking of this, Aunt Xue smiled at Baochai and said: "I didn't expect Brother Jue to be so enthusiastic, and he solved this matter without waiting for us to come to the door, which shocked those who had a heart, and you also heard the words of the second manager, he publicly stated the relationship with our family, and our family has completely gained a foothold in Xishi." ”
Baochai nodded silently, "He really regards our family as a relative." ”
Aunt Xue smiled and said nothing, and thought of Mrs. Wang's words again, understanding that she had already taken the path of the palace, and in the primary election after the year, Baochai would definitely be brushed down, and she would be fifteen after the New Year, so she had to think about it.
