Chapter 56: The Secret Path
After passing through the narrow forest path, the bright light that entered the carriage through the gap in the curtain became more abundant.
The vision ahead suddenly widened, and a spacious avenue appeared in front of Situ Xi, on both sides of this road were two wide green areas, on which there were countless flowers and plants, and some cattle and sheep could already be faintly seen not far away.
"Brother-in-law, I'm a little hungry, let's go to the manor in front of us to eat first, the steward here should have prepared lunch for us."
"It's all up to you, right in front of here, get out of the car and walk for a while, just take a walk."
The scenery here is picturesque, the sun is warm, and sometimes there is a breeze blowing, Situ Xi found some feeling of spring travel in the past, so he proposed to get off the car and walk for a while, although the carriage is easy and convenient, but the road is still a little bumpy.
"Uncle Chen, stop, brother-in-law is going to leave for a while!" Zhong Limo had no objection, and shouted loudly, and the servants of the trilogy all paused and stood by in place.
"Ah, what a flock!"
Whispering was the first to get out of the car, she looked at the cattle and sheep scattered in the distance and felt very curious, she was also the first time to come to this Nanshan pasture.
"Uncle, Miss, this place is open, there is no shade, the old slave specially ordered someone to prepare an umbrella yesterday."
After Situ Xi took Zhong Li's hand and helped him down, Steward Chen on the side walked up to them with a delicate Luo umbrella very spiritually, and presented the Luo umbrella to Situ Xi's hand like a treasure.
"Thank you Steward Chen, you have a heart." Situ Xi nodded and took the umbrella.
"Eh, uncle, where is this, it's all within the old slave's business."
Hearing Situ Xi's words, Steward Chen was secretly happy in his heart, but he knew that the most important thing for the head of the family was this aunt recently, and serving him well was the top priority of his trip.
Behind, Hua Shaoying also got out of the carriage, she broke away from Chaoyun and Chaoyue, and came to Situ Xi and his wife alone.
"Nine kings, madam, the slave family has something to ask for, can you take a step to speak."
"You don't have to worry, if you have something to discuss with the minister, you can just ask the minister."
Zhong Lixuan and Hua Shaoying have never known each other in their lives, she said that she had something to ask for, obviously she just wanted to find Situ Xi, but she should have taken into account Zhong Lisu's feelings before saying that she wanted to talk to the two of them.
"Miss!" Whispering nervously pulled Zhong Li's clothes, this flower is extremely good-looking, and very charming, let her be alone with her uncle, maybe she has some other plans.
"Let's go with the lady, just go to the side of the terraces."
……
Next to the wave-like terraces, Situ Xi walked between Hua Shaoying and Zhong Lisu, who held a Luo umbrella for him.
The three of them walked forward slowly, no one around them approached, and Hua Shaoying was the first to speak to Situ Xi.
"Why are the Nine Kings willing to help?"
"It's just casual, but it's taking everyone to come to Nanshan today to do something, isn't it really here to play music for people?"
Looking at the surrounding scenery, Hua Shaoying chuckled and shook her head.
"It's not, Nanshan is a good place to rest and play, especially outside of the rest day, the mountain is sparsely populated and the land is vast, even if you walk around like this, you also feel very leisurely."
Turning his head to look at the side face of Hua Shaoying, Situ Xi nodded noncommittally, and then shook his head again and said:
"The scenery here is really beautiful, but I think that everyone is not here for fun, the letter in your bamboo tube carries two lives, and everyone should not have this relaxed mood at the moment, right?"
"The Nine Kings have already seen it......" Hua shook his shadow for a moment, and then relaxed again.
When Zhong Lixuan heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but squeeze her right hand that was holding Situ Xi.
"This is also the purpose of everyone acquiescing to me, if not, maybe the letter would have been burned a long time ago."
"The slave family just thinks that even if the Nine Kings read it, it doesn't matter, because your position seems to be similar to that of the slave family."
"Oh? Why? "Situ Xi is really interested, this flower shaker seems to know him very well.
"This ......" Hua Shaoying paused, glancing at Zhongli on the left.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"The two of you are really in love...... The two girls recorded on the paper both lost their lives because of the people of the Luguo Mansion, and as far as the slave family knows, a few days ago, several young masters of the Luguo Mansion seem to have hired some thugs from the iris to find the trouble of the Nine Kings, presumably the Nine Kings are not dealing with them. ”
Stopping, Situ Xi stared at Hua Shaoying's eyes for a while, digesting the news in his heart.
Fan Lao had said before that she had some special news channels in this city, but now it seems to be true, and there is no need for her to lie to herself about this kind of thing.
Luguo Mansion, is it a square embankment? Situ Xi has heard of this name many times, but after all, he has never met him, so why does he want to conflict with himself?
"Nine Kings, the slave family just said that they have something to ask for, and they just want to talk to you about a cooperation, I wonder if you are interested? Xuan'an is very big, and the Nine Kings are a little lonely in the imperial capital of Chu State, people, it is always much more convenient to have more friends to do things. ”
"Tell me about it."
"The slave family hopes that the Nine Kings will not reveal the specific information on this letter, and if possible, it will be better to burn it later. In the days to come, I also hope that the Nine Kings can take care of the slave family's business in Jinsefang, and the specific situation will be invited to you to discuss in detail when the slave family holds a banquet in Jinsefang another day. ”
Hua Shaoying's words were still skeptical of Zhong Lixuan on the side, and she had reservations in her words and did not reveal too much information.
"If it's cooperation, there should be a second half."
"Of course, if the Nine Kings agree, the slave family is willing to pay most of my Jinsefang manpower and material resources, the slave family sincerely wants to reach cooperation with the Nine Kings, and the slave family can also get the conditions that make the Nine Kings excited."
"Is it such a verbal agreement? How can I trust you? ”
"I think the Nine Kings will not burn the letter, so if you put it in your hands, the Nine Kings can rest assured that the slave family will not do anything to destroy their future."
"Not enough." What was recorded in this letter was some of the atrocities of the Fang family, and it had little to do with the interests of Hua Shaoying.
Hearing that Situ Xi thought she hadn't shown enough sincerity, Hua Shaoying smiled and turned her head to look at Zhong Lixuan on the side.
"Then what if the slave family writes a deed of sale to the Nine Kings and mortgages themselves to you, the slave family doesn't care, I'm afraid that Mrs. Zhongli will have some displeasure in her heart."
Without waiting for Zhong Lixuan to speak to Situ Xi, Hua Shaoying stood on tiptoe again and whispered in Situ Xi's ear with his hands:
"Don't hide it from the nine kings, the slave family is here to send Chaoyue and the letter to the outside of the city, we have a secret passage out of the city in this Nanshan."
