It just so happened that a small part of this batch of melons was sent to the Wang family on the outskirts of the city for storage, and the rest of Wang Shu was pulled up and taken to the dart bureau together.

I have to say that the melon yield in this field is really good. After sending it around like this, there are still a lot of left. When Wang Shu followed Lagua's car to the dart game, Master Lin was not there, and the second-in-command Wang Jin was flying.

He is leading the masters of the dart game to practice against the big sun.

These people who come and go in the wind and rain in the dart game eat the rice of licking blood from the knife edge. It is very necessary to have a good martial arts body. Even if some martial arts are worse, you have to train your body to be strong on weekdays. Therefore, these exercises cannot be stopped every day.

On a hot day, a bunch of young and middle-aged dart masters were shirtless. When he saw Wang Shu coming in, he stopped, and hurriedly went back to put on his clothes.

Wang Jinfei was sweating profusely from practice, and the knotted muscles on his body were shining in the sun. Afraid that Wang Shu would be smoked with stinky sweat, he asked Wang Shu to go to the backyard meeting room to wait for him for a while.

He went to the well and carried a bucket of water, stood in the front yard and began to rinse it.

Wang Shu nodded, and by the way, he instructed Lin Erwang and Lao San to go to the carriage to take down more than a dozen melons and throw them in the well to relieve the heat for the dart masters.

Lin Er grinned and hurriedly went.

Wang Shu waited in the conference hall for a while, and Wang Jinfei packed up and rushed over.

He had just sat down for a while, and he hadn't had time to ask Wang Shu what was the matter with coming over. It just so happened that at this hour, Lin Er brought the chilled melon over. Wang Shu waved his hand and asked him to cut it in front of Wang Jinfei.

Cold melon, Wang Jinfei naturally knows. The Wang family dart bureau always ran to the Western Regions, and Wang Jinfei personally led the dart team. There are large areas of desert on this trade road in the Western Regions, and it is not good to drink water when you are idle. Many travelers who travel long distances use cold melon as a good thing to draw water. But the cold melons that Wang Jin flew to Rijian were all green, why did this melon cut and red?

"...... this?" Afraid of admitting his mistake, Wang Jinfei didn't dare to open his mouth at will.

"Cold melon." Wang Shu simply said bluntly about the purpose of the future.

Now that the Wang family is in this situation, these masters of the dart game can be trusted. Wang Jinfei had risked his life to help Xiao Yanxing go back and forth a few times before, and he could be regarded as his own person. Wang Shu naturally didn't hide it from him: "This melon is my improved red husk variety, the only one, whether it is the Central Plains or the Western Regions." Uncle Wang, you try it, not only is it juicy and sweet, but it is also more thirst-quenching than the original variety. ”

Wang Jinfei's heart jumped, and he took the fragrant watermelon and took a bite. My eyes lit up suddenly.

"This melon is so sweet!"

"Uncle Wang, do you think this melon can be sold in our store?" Wang Shu has no shortage of channels, and if she tells her to go down, the melons will be pulled to the store to sell. The main reason is that I am afraid of rashly launching something new, which is too eye-catching. Her Wang family is now only left with her sister and brother, and if she provokes anyone else, it will be troublesome. But if you don't worry about attracting attention, you can do this business, right?

"The big girl wants to sell?"

"If you can sell it, you naturally want to sell it." Wang Shu did not deny it, "But if it will cause trouble, it will not be in the way if you don't make this money." ”

Although Wang Jinfei doesn't care about the things in the shop, he is out all the year round, well-informed, and he is also relatively sensitive. Wang Shu came mainly to ask for his opinion.

Wang Jinfei didn't answer hastily, thought for a moment, and opened his mouth: "Naturally, you can sell it, but why don't you ask the Xiao family's meaning first." ”

“？” Her melon, why do you have to ask Xiao Yanxing what she means?

"Since you also said it, girl, this cold melon seed is unique. Whether it is the Central Plains or the Western Regions, there is no other. Then this thing is expensive whether it is expensive or not, and the object is expensive. Wang Jinfei considered that the master was now Wang Shu's husband, and said cautiously, "This kind of strange thing can be lived, maybe that master has other plans." ”

"......" Wang Shu understood. However, she must affirm one point, "This melon is something that belongs entirely to my royal family." ”

Wang Jinfei glanced at Wang Shu, although he didn't speak, the meaning was very clear.

If the in-laws are tied together, the interests are naturally also involved. Especially the Wang Family Dart Bureau has been involved in Xiao Yanxing's affairs, and it is impossible to pick it out. What are you talking about at this time?

Wang Shu really wants to say that he has not reached the end of his life, and no one is forever tied to anyone. The royal family's economy is independent. But no one could understand what he said, so he had to give up.

But she also understood what Wang Jinfei meant. Cold melons can still be sold, and they can be sold in the Wang family's shop, which can be sold as a special expensive melon and fruit from the Western Regions. This kind of melon and fruit is not common to ordinary people, but in the area near the Western Regions, many caravans recognize it. If you don't cut it to see the red gourd, just selling cold melon is not enough to attract attention.

The only concern is that Xiao Yanxing may make a fuss about this melon, for fear that she will ruin his business by rashly selling melons.

That's it, Wang Shu thought about it, can't she sell this melon? !

Take her own things and ask Xiao Yanxing how to deal with them, she will never do this kind of upside down thing. Unless Xiao Yanxing came to her and asked her for it in person with satisfactory conditions, there was no need to talk about it.

A few carts of melons were pulled to the dart board, some were distributed to the dart masters, and then pulled back to the Wang family's house.

The method of storage has been handed over to the peony in advance, and there is no need for Wang Shu to say it again.

Wang Shu is difficult to make a trip, so naturally he will not go back easily. simply called Lily of the Valley over, and listened to Lily of the Valley while reading the information she remembered. She rewrites a new document on her own, in a way that makes it easier for her to read.

Writing information must be focused, and Wang Shu has always been very serious in this matter. This was written until dark.

Looking up, Wang Shu felt a sigh in her heart, and her heart was broken.

It's late again.

She was about to pack up and hurry back. Suddenly, I heard movement outside.

Looking up into the courtyard, the lark seemed to be talking to someone. The lark was one of the four rough girls in Wang Shu's yard in the past, and she was cousin with the magpie. The magpie was left by Wang Shu, and the lark was sold by the Liang family, and was secretly bought back by Wang Shu and placed in the Wang family. Now he is in charge of Wang Shu's private treasury, and he will not let anyone enter Wang Shu's courtyard when he is idle.

"Skylark?" Wang Shu called.

The lark answered, asked the people outside the courtyard to wait for a while, and he ran back on his feet: "Master, it's someone from the Xiao family." ”

“？” Wang Shu sighed in her heart, and said in her heart, she only delayed for so long before she came, is she so strict now?

"Who's coming?"

"Mama Yuan's people came to deliver the message, what the master meant, let the master go back quickly, don't stay outside these days." The lark didn't know if he had seen Wang Shu's face, so he lowered his voice and said, "...... It seems that something happened to the master of the Xiao family. ”

Wang Shu breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was not her business. But in an instant, it became positive: "Something happened to the master of the Xiao family?" Which master? ”

The lark didn't know it, but heard the message.

Wang Shu frowned, thought for a moment, and asked the lark to call people in.

The person who came was a grandmother in her forties, dressed differently from Mama Yuan, and looked like a martial artist. The appearance is a little fresh, at least Wang Shu has never seen it. When she saw Wang Shu, she first stepped forward and saluted.

Wang Shu didn't beat around the bush with her, and asked what happened to the Xiao family.

"It's the Mistress." The grandmother didn't hide it from Wang Shu, and answered whatever she asked.

The housewife? Isn't that Liang's? The Liang family stays in the back house all day, and the door is not out of the door, what can happen to her?

Before Wang Shu could ask carefully, the grandmother told Wang Shu the whole story.

It turned out that this time the prince's family wealth was abolished, except for a group of people who were saved by Xiao Yanxing early, almost all the slaves and maids in the house were taken away. Among them, Liang's slaves and maids accounted for a small half.

These people were escorted away, but they were not simply filled into the teaching workshop, the court and other places. Before being filled into various places to be an official slave, he must be tortured.

Originally, this was just a formality, and Xiao Yanxing's charges were listed as early as the day he was abolished. This torture was actually the selfishness of the new prince Xiao Chenghuan, who deliberately wanted to respond to it, and by the way, he tried to see if Xiao Yanxing had deliberately pretended to be crazy and stupid in Liangzhou in the past few years. Who would have thought that this question didn't catch Xiao Yanxing's tail, but asked another outrageous thing.

The impersonation of the abolished crown princess.

The name and birth date of the abolished crown princess Liang are the second girl of the Liang Guogong Mansion.

Liang's real name is Liang Shushen, and she is the eldest girl in the big house. In the position of the eldest of the three houses of the Liang State Mansion. Because his biological mother was not liked by Liang Guogong's eldest son, he was sent to his grandfather's house for foster care since he was a child. When she was young, she was frail and sickly, and her body was weak, and her appearance was always much younger than her actual age, and she was already twenty-two years old, two years older than the prince.

When the saint was drafted for the crown prince, she was actually over her age and was not allowed to run. But in order to fight for a future, Liang Shushen secretly borrowed the identity of Liang Shuyi, the second-room daughter, to participate in the draft. also held on to a face that could only be regarded as delicate to the end, and was picked by the old emperor at a glance.

Of course, it is impossible for the emperor to make the mistake of people. It can only be the people below whose hearts can be punished, and they can be deceived and reckless.

Liang Shuyi, no, Liang Shushen, you have to pay the price for your crime of bullying the king.

This incident was revealed by Liang Shushen's mother, Mother Ye herself. As soon as the stick was beaten, before the officers and soldiers began to ask, she cried and howled to sell her master.

It stands to reason that the crown prince has been deposed, and Xiao Yanxing has gone crazy. It doesn't make much difference whether the abolished princess is Liang Shuyi or Liang Shushen, and if she doesn't say it, it won't hinder anyone or anything. But Xiao Chenghuan is small-minded, so he has the heart to respond to Xiao Yanxing. He not only singled out this matter to make people laugh, but also deliberately made a fuss. so that people can know how ridiculous the abolished prince is in this life.

He ridiculed Xiao Yanxing, and to some extent, the old emperor was also involved. After all, this abolished crown princess was appointed by the old emperor. The hand-picked crown princess ordered a fake, and I don't know who is more confused?

In addition, Xiao Yanxing's people also took the opportunity to deliberately stir up the situation, and the more troublesome it became.

The prince who was so loved by the people at the beginning fell into such a situation, and many people regretted it in their hearts. The more ridicule he receives now, the more unbearable the old emperor's face becomes. It seems that if you don't deal with the imposter of the Liang family, you are not worthy of being a father. In the past, he showed a lot of pity and kindness for the abolished prince, wasn't he posturing?

The old emperor was erected, and he couldn't do it if he didn't deal with the Liang family. If you don't deal with the disobedient and deceitful Liang Guogong Mansion, you can't do it.

In this way, the Liang family was unlucky, and the Liang Guogong Mansion could not run.

Wang Shu didn't speak for a long time after listening to the whole story. She didn't understand it, didn't she say that the ancient draft system was very strict? Every level is very strict, how can such an important position as the crown princess still be replaced by a fake birthday?

"It's hard to say." There is a special procedure for the draft, which is run by the Ministry of Internal Affairs every year. Not only the Liang Guogong Mansion and the Liang family, but also the Internal Affairs Office, which did not approve the Liang family's identity, could not escape the involvement.

Wang Shu didn't ask so deeply, so she only cared about one thing: "Is the master still in the house?" ”

"Someone took me this afternoon."

Wang Shu understood.

Looking up at the sky, it was dark and dreary. Wang Shu did not delay, and asked Sun Zheng to set up the carriage and rush back to Lihua Lane.

There is still some distance from the outskirts of the city to the east of the city, and it takes half an hour for the carriage to run. When Wang Shu arrived at Xiao's house, it was already three o'clock, but the courtyard was still brightly lit. The housewife was suddenly taken away, and the whole house was naturally in no mood to rest.

Xiao Yan didn't come out of the study, and the ladies in the back house gathered together in a panic, not knowing what to do.

Without the Liang family, the remaining few are all concubines. Wang Shu has always been a transparent person, even if she sits together, no one talks to her.

Although Mei and Wen talk more, Mei panics when something happens, and he doesn't have the ability to call the shots. Wen wanted to call the shots, but her identity was similar to Wang Shu, a merchant girl, and no one listened to what she said. If you talk about the family background that can control the field, it is the Yang family, after all, the daughter of the second-grade master. But the Yang family doesn't like to take care of things, and he hasn't said a word since the Liang family was taken away.

Liu Ruhui looked at Mei and then at Yang, hoping that the two could say something.

Yang turned his head to look behind him from time to time, and Wang Shu noticed a tall maidservant standing behind her. The maid is delicate, some girls are men, but they are not obtrusive. Her hand rested on Yang's shoulder, and when Yang's expression changed slightly, he would gently press her shoulder. It seems that wherever the Yang family returns, it seems that he is followed by this servant girl.

Speaking of which, Wang Shu realized a strange thing.

Last time, Xiao's house was raided, and almost all the maidservants in the house were escorted away. Why wasn't this handmaid of the Yang family taken away?

She was wondering in her heart, and Liu Shi opened her mouth: "Let's sit here and we can't discuss a reason." Whether the Liang family's matter is true or false depends on the judgment of the government. It's getting late, why don't we all go back to the house first, and see how Mama Yuan arranges it tomorrow. How is it? ”

When she said this, she said that in the heart of other women, the big guy didn't care much about the Liang family. When Liang was there, it was a tight spell for everyone. She's not there, but it's much easier.

It's so late, and they are all weak women, and they are hurting their bodies.

As soon as she suggested this, Yang immediately stood up. The maidservant behind her held Yang's arm, and the master and servant left first.

As soon as she left, Mei was not far behind, and turned around and left.

Not to mention the Liu family, he didn't have the heart to explain what happened to Wang Shu, who came late, and left in a curling manner. In the end, only Wang Shu and Wen were left in the flower hall. Wang Shu looked at her face to face.

Wen suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth and said something inexplicable: "Wang Shu, you still have the most comfortable life." ”

Dropping this sentence, she called the slave and maid to leave.

Wang Shu: "? "What's that?

Everyone is gone, and of course Wang Shu is not standing stupidly. Her house was in the front yard, and it was not convenient for these women, so she pushed open the door and walked a few steps back to the house. You have to go through the second gate to the front yard. shrugged her shoulders, Wang Shu didn't take her words at ease, and turned her head away.

When I arrived at the front yard, Mama Yuan waited at the second gate. When he saw Wang Shu, he hurriedly called her aside.

"Wang Xiaojun, the master has something to look for."

Wang Shu had a premonition that Xiao Yanxing would look for her, so she didn't refuse, and followed her.

However, Mama Yuan did not lead Wang Shu to the study, but led her directly to Xiao Yanxing's bedroom. On a hot day, the veil had not yet fallen in his bedroom. But the ice kettle has been placed, and it is much cooler than the outside of the courtyard.

Xiao Yanxing was sitting behind the desk at that time, carrying a teapot in one hand and pouring tea in the other, and looked up at Wang Shu: "Sit." ”

Wang Shu: "......"
