Chapter 403: Unwilling
Cui Qingyuan had to think about the possibility of this matter with the worst intentions, after all, if Zhao Hongchang and his wife were dead, then Zhao Xiaobao would have such a large amount of silver as a child.
Undoubtedly, it is like a childish man walking on the street holding a big gold brick, which makes people salivate!
Zhao Xiaobao's family has evil intentions, and it is not difficult to guess.
However, if Zhao Xiaobao hadn't taken the opportunity to sneak out, his family probably didn't plan to let Zhao Xiaobao die.
Instead, he was locked up, saying that he was raising his grandson.
The grandson is still young, and as a foreigner who helps his grandson manage the Zhao family's industry, it is only natural that it can be said that it has passed.
Now that Zhao Xiaobao has escaped, he will either be captured by his family or die outside.
Only in this way will what Zhao Xiaobao's foreign family does not be known.
Ning Laosi listened to Cui Qingyuan's analysis on the side, and couldn't help but be indignant.
It's just that he didn't expect that this matter would involve him.
Just because Zhao Xiaobao said the address of his family's mansion in Nanyue Mansion, Ning Laosi's eyes were about to pop out.
"This house has already been sold to me!
The old servant who sold the house said that he was going to find his master, but I didn't ask. ”
After Ning Laosi finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Xiaobao with some toothache.
Although this kid is pitiful, he bought this house with real money, so it is naturally impossible to return this house to the Zhao family.
Moreover, Ning Laosi and Cui Qingyuan glanced at each other, and the two of them thought of a possibility at the same time.
Zhao Xiaobao couldn't sneak away alone at a young age, and the one who could help him must be a loyal servant of the Zhao family.
And the loyal servant who sold the Zhao family's house to Ning Laosi is likely to be the one who helped Zhao Xiaobao escape from his foreign family.
】
As for why the loyal servant didn't leave with Zhao Xiaobao, this question still has to be investigated to become clear.
After the group returned to Nanyue Mansion, Cui Qingyuan had been away for so long, and there were many things to deal with, and he didn't have the heart to care about Zhao Xiaobao at all.
Of course, Zhao Xiaobao also wanted to follow Ning Youxi.
Among a few people, although he also knew Cui Xiu, he subconsciously felt that Ning Youxi was better at talking.
In addition, the house that Ning Laosi bought was, after all, his previous home.
It was also a little more reassuring to stay there.
In this regard, Ning Laosi could only pinch his nose and agree.
However, why did Cui Xiu, this kid, also come along?
It was Liu Hu who stopped him to death, and Ning Laosi beat Cui Xiu up angrily.
When he finally got rid of Liu Hu's block, he found that Cui Xiu had been taken by Ning Youxi and followed Liu Hu to Yujiawan.
went with Zhao Xiaobao.
Ning Laosi didn't expect that Liu Hu's hands and feet would be so swift and take these three people away so quickly.
No wonder he wanted to avoid Liu Hu today, Liu Hu didn't stick to himself, he must have had such a plan a long time ago!
For this reason, Ning Laosi's stomach was bulging, and it took almost half a month to be able to dissipate.
Liu Hu seemed to be stuck on the day he was deflated.
Brought the seafood from Yujiawan over, and asked about the Zhao family by the way, I don't know if Cui Futai sent someone to investigate.
Ning Laosi was not angry and told Liu Hu the news he had gotten from Cui Qingyuan these days, and asked him to take it back and tell Zhao Xiaobao, Cui Xiu and Ning Youxi.
Zhao Xiaobao's maternal surname is He, his maternal grandfather is He Yannian, his maternal grandmother Tian, his mother He Wanniang, and two uncles, named He Chaosheng and He Luosheng.
The He family is in Mingzhou Mansion, which can be regarded as a noble family.
Just because the father and son of the He family are both scholars, Zhao Xiaobao's maternal grandfather is even a person.
Although he didn't get into the Jinshi, but here in Mingzhou Mansion, the identity of the person is enough to shine on the lintel!
After all, if he wants to be an official, he can actually operate it.
Not to mention the big officials, it's okay to be a seven-grade county magistrate.
Of course, this premise is to dredge up the relationship.
Otherwise, with so many people, why should you be the official?
It's a pity that the He family is not particularly wealthy.
At least there is not so much silver to pave the way for him to become an official.
Therefore, even if He Yannian passed the exam, he only went home and devoted himself to teaching his two sons to read.
The eldest son, He Chaosheng, has an average literary style, and after so many years of examination, he just got the name of a showman.
Further, He Yannian knew that it was impossible.
It was the youngest son, He Luosheng, who was also admitted to the lifting of people, and then was stopped here by Jinshi.
I went to the scientific expedition several times, but after all, it was a little bit worse.
For this reason, He Yannian and He Luosheng, father and son, were very unwilling.
However, even if they are unwilling, they can only recognize the reality, their father and son are also unable to be officials because they have no money and cannot be admitted to the Jinshi.
It is precisely because of this that He Yannian agreed to marry his daughter He Wanniang to Zhao Hongchang, who was born in business.
For the sake of it, it is just that the Zhao family can provide silver for his youngest son to be able to pass the imperial examination.
It's a pity that he has been waiting for Zhao Xiaobao to be so old, He Luosheng is still the same as his father, and he did not take the Jinshi examination.
After such many blows, He Luosheng's confidence was shattered, and he no longer had the sharpness and enterprising spirit he had at the beginning.
also because his brother-in-law failed the imperial examination many times, Zhao Hongchang naturally provided silver to the He family, and there were some contradictions when the husband and wife were together.
The main reason was that Zhao Hongchang complained a few words, but he Wanniang remembered it in his heart.
After being wronged, he found his mother-in-law Tian to complain.
He Wanniang was just angry that her husband didn't save face for her, so she told Tian what Zhao Hongchang complained about.
As the saying goes, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
For Tian's family, He Wanniang is his own child.
But the future of her two sons and husband is what she is most concerned about.
The son-in-law actually has two hearts and doesn't want to help his son, Luo Sheng has already begun to decadent, if he learns his brother-in-law's mind again, won't it make him worse?
After Luo Wanniang went back, Tian told her husband what her son-in-law had revealed.
After He Yannian learned the news, he was also very unhappy.
However, in the end, it is indeed relying on his son-in-law that the He family has been able to save face and socialize with those dignitaries in Mingzhou Mansion over the years.
With a pimple in his heart, naturally the relationship between the two families will not get better and better, but worse and worse.
It's just that, at least on the surface, the He family is still kind to the Zhao family.
After all, when you reach out for silver, you can't always eat soft rice with a straight face.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhao Hongchang did not see the resentment in the hearts of the He family's father and son.
On the side of Nanyue Mansion, Zhao Hongchang knew that if he continued to stay here, even if he was Zhao Bancheng, I was afraid that there would be nothing left in the end.
He is different from other rich families, his parents are in the same generation, the family conditions are average, and his father is just a merchant.
The Zhao family's industry also gradually expanded in his hands, and became a well-known wealthy Zhao Bancheng in Nanyue Prefecture.
