The next morning, the whole family sat around the living room in the front yard for breakfast, except for Xiao Shi, who was not yet well, absent. Haixiya announced plans to return to his hometown, but he had to repair in Suzhou City for some time first.

He did not mention his new mission, but said that there were many things to do, such as the sheep, horses and other livestock and spices, wine and other goods that the family brought back from Guazhou, which needed to be sold first and exchanged for goods before they could be taken on the road; Another example is the private house they live in now, if they don't plan to come back in the future, it is better to sell it, and they can also exchange it for more entanglements; Another example is that many of the old friends they have met in the Northwest Frontier over the years need to say goodbye, and once they are separated, they are afraid that they will not be able to see each other again in this life.

Xie Wenzai had already known about his cousin's new envoy from Liu Keren, and knew that his cousin's words were just to cover up the real purpose of the family's stay in Suzhou City, and he did not say anything. Ma had already been persuaded by her husband, so naturally she would not have any objections. As for Hai Chang'an and his family, they are still worried about their son Xiaoshi's body, and of course they are not in a hurry to leave.

Hai Changan also happily said to his mother: "Spices and other things, I'm afraid they can't be sold at a price in Suzhou, so it's better to bring them back to the Central Plains and sell them again, and they don't take up space." The son also plans to take out some of the living money on hand, buy more gems, spices, medicinal herbs, etc., and sell them when he returns to the Central Plains. Why don't you buy the goods with your son? ”

Ma said: "The two of you discuss this, don't care." This mess at home is enough to be busy, and I am too lazy to do anything else. If you earn money, it will be your own private house. ”

Hai Changan immediately responded happily, a pair of peach blossom eyes smiled bently, and his eyes were extraordinarily bright, and his wife Hu Shi was dazzled, and then smirked.

Seeing this, Ma Shi only felt extremely proud. Her adopted son is so handsome and charming!

Begonia is a little unsightly. When she first crossed, she knew that her cheap second uncle was a beautiful man, born with a pair of peach blossom eyes, obviously just an ordinary glance at people, and an ordinary smile, which could also make people feel that he was showing mercy everywhere. A few days ago, he was busy taking care of his sick son, looking haggard and his beauty was greatly reduced. Now that his son's condition is improving, he has rested well for a night, and then he is radiant again.

Haitang glanced at the cheap second uncle, and then turned his head to look at the little brother reef.

Reef wasn't happy with Grandpa's decision. He couldn't wait to leave Suzhou with his family today, how could he wait so long?

After breakfast, he chased his grandfather back to Sanjin Hospital.

Begonia did not follow, but stayed in the second courtyard. She went to visit Little Stone first, and he was much better, and could talk and laugh, but he still had a cough. The second aunt Hu Shi seemed to be frightened by her son's serious illness a few days ago, and now she didn't dare to let him out of the house at all, for fear that he would catch a cold again. But Xiao Shi is a lively person, even if he keeps coughing, he can't suppress his heart yearning for freedom. In order to appease Xiaoshi, Hu had to let her husband go out to buy some gadgets and come back to coax the child.

Hai Changan went out with a smile.

Begonia played with the little stone for a while and then came out. She looked at the main house of the Sanjin Courtyard, and before the conversation between Haixi Cliff and Haijiao was over, she turned her head to look for her grandmother Ma again.

Ma is discussing with Aunt Cui and his wife about selling sheep and horses: "All the horses will be sold to Suzhou Wei." Cui Zhong knows who to find, as long as the price is about the same, he will sell it, and our family doesn't expect to make money from this. The sheep were also sold to the cooks of the guards, and they kept only two for their own food. ”

Cui Bo responded, and Ma began to discuss with Aunt Cui about buying grain, meat and vegetables in the city.

Haitang listened for a while, had a general understanding of the price level in Suzhou City, and was about to go back to Sanjin Hospital, when he heard Hai Chang'an's loud question from the front yard: "Who are you?" Why linger in front of our house? ”

The answer to Hai Changan was an unfamiliar male voice. Haitang ran to the front yard and listened to them through the gate, and the strange man explained to Hai Chang'an that because the spies of the sand thieves were found among the Guazhou immigrants who entered the city, the Suzhou guard had to thoroughly investigate the people who had entered the city before, in case there were still sand thieves who slipped through the net.

Hai Changan sneered: "Our family is also a member of the Suzhou Wei, how can the spies of the Wei Institute find us if they want to investigate the sand thieves?" You're not going to be coaxing me, are you? Are you really from Suzhou Wei? Which general is under it? ”

The man haha, vaguely and vaguely, and quickly left, without mentioning which general's subordinate he was.

Haitang opened the door and welcomed Hai Changan in, and Hai Changan was still uncertain: "This person is inexplicable, what is the origin?" ”

He was about to turn around and close the door, when he saw an acquaintance come to his door: "Chengfu? Aren't you worthy today? He also turned around and smiled and asked Haitang to say hello to the other party, "This is Uncle Wang diagonally across the door, do you still remember Tangtang?" He hugged you when he was a kid. ”

What the little begonia doesn't remember, of course the big begonia won't remember. However, she recognized the man dressed as a young military attaché, and when she entered the city yesterday, the person she saw her second uncle Hai Changan talking and laughing with seemed to be an old friend who helped grab medicine from the city and give it to Xiaoshi. Haitang smiled sweetly and greeted the other party: "Hello Uncle Wang." ”

"Tang Tang is good, he is so old, he has time to come to play at home." Wang Chengfu smiled at Haitang, and then squeezed his eyes at Hai Changan, "You have guests at home." ”

Hai Changan was stunned, then saw his friend turn around and waved, and then a strange man poked his head out of the Wang's door, looked left and right, and made sure that there was no one around, so he walked over and quickly dodged into the gate of the Hai family.

This man is also dressed as a military attaché and carries a big burden in his hand.

He saluted Hai Chang'an: "I came to deliver something to Uncle Hai on the order of the general." I don't know if Uncle Hai is at home? ”

Hai Changan looked dazed, but Haitang quickly guessed the identity of the other party.

He sent the account books to Hai Chang'an on behalf of General Wednesday and General Gu of Suzhou Wei, right?

Since he came to the Hai family, why did he go to the Wang family? Why did Wang Chengfu come and knock on the door of the Hai family to make sure that no one around had entered the door? Did the man who lingered in front of the Hai family have anything to do with him?

Haitang had some guesses in her heart, and she didn't say much, but said: "Grandpa is at home, I'll call him." ”

She ran back to Sanjin Hospital, just as her grandfather Haixi Cliff was reprimanding Haijiao: "You only care about your own sadness, so you shout to leave, why don't you think about the rest of the family?!" Your brother's illness is not yet cured, how can he travel far away? Aren't you afraid that he will get sicker on the road?! Your grandma also remembers your father, so you can't let her stay in this house for a few more days and keep a memory?! You're also older, you can't be as willful as you were when you were a child, hurry up and get me out! ”

The reef lifted the curtain and walked out in embarrassment, wiped his face, his eyes were red, and he seemed to have cried.

Seeing this, Haitang went into the house and told Haixi Cliff about the guests in the front yard, and when Haixi Cliff heard that it was a person sent by General Gu, his expression suddenly became serious, and he didn't care about teaching his grandson a lesson, and hurriedly walked out.

When he entered the second hospital, Xie Wenzai's cousin, who had just received the news, also joined him, and the two walked side by side to the front yard.

Haitang watched the two elders leave, turned around and beckoned to the reef: "Brother, come here." He motioned for him to follow him into the east wing.

The East Wing was once the residence of their parents, and they all lived here when they were children, so they were naturally quite familiar.

Haitang pulled his brother into the house, closed the door with his backhand, pulled him to the house away from the window, and asked in a low voice: "Why do you have to persuade grandpa to leave Suzhou City earlier?" ”

Haijiao pursed his lips and didn't speak.

Haitang asked again: "Did you tell you before...... Suzhou City will be breached by enemy troops? ”

Haijiao's whole body was shocked, and he looked up at the little sister in shock.
