"The Xue family? Which Xue family is the guest officer talking about?"
The waiter at the shop was stunned when he heard Xiao Han ask such a nameless question.
A community can also be said to be like a community today, or a large community. There are too many people living in it, ranging from high-ranking officials to ordinary people.
Asked so suddenly, he didn't even know who he was asking.
Seeing the confusion on the waiter's face, Xiaodong stretched out his hand from the window, pointed to the direction of Xue Pan's house, and said, "It's the one at the top of the alley over there, with a big house!"
"Oh~ you said it was Mr. Xue from the previous dynasty!" The waiter suddenly realized it and tapped his forehead. Then he suddenly remembered something and his expression became weird again.
"Yes, it's his family. Our young master is somewhat interested in his family. Seeing that you are so close to that, do you know anything about his family? Especially the nearest one?" Xiaodong asked eagerly.
The waiter looked around carefully, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Well... to be honest with you, I heard that something really happened in his family recently. However, those are the affairs of a wealthy family, not me with a flat head.
If ordinary people dare to talk about it, if they are caught by the rightful owner, this tongue may be fed to the dogs..."
"Snapped……"
Another bag of copper coins was slapped on the table by Xiaodong. It was bigger than the bag just now, and it made the teapot on the table jump.
At the same time, Xiao Han held the teacup expressionlessly and said to the waiter: "You can say whatever you want, and it will come out of your mouth and into my ears. Whatever happens, it has nothing to do with you!"
"Hehe, that's, that's..."
The waiter didn't know whether he was frightened by Xiao Han's calm look or was defeated by the power of money. Anyway, his face immediately changed again, which surprised the fool next to him. Mr. Hou once said that there is a kind of face-changing.
Kung Fu is very magical, and looking at this guy now, he seems to be not bad at all...
After swallowing hard at the bag of copper coins, the waiter forcibly pulled his eyes back from his wallet, cupped his hands in front of Xiao Han, then came closer and lowered his voice and said:
"Sir, if you want to ask about the Xue family, you are asking the right person! There has never been any gossip about the Xue family in these years! If it were another person, there would definitely not be much about his family.
Impression! But..."
"But what?" Xiao Han put down the teacup, straightened his body, and asked pretending to be indifferent.
Seeing that Xiao Han didn't seem to arouse his curiosity, the waiter felt a little disappointed. He recalled what happened a few days ago and said: "But...a few days ago, there were a few men drinking tea with us, and they talked about it.
A secret message!
It is said that the young lady of the Xue family was originally planned to be betrothed to the young master of his family, but the young lady was not at home to prepare the wedding dress. Instead, she ran away secretly while the family was not paying attention!
I heard that he went to live with the Marquis of Sanyuan County and stayed there for a month! At first, their head of the family didn’t know about it, but later, there was news and he found out!”
After a pause, the waiter in the shop looked at Xiao Han's expression of thought, and then continued: "Looking at your popularity, you must be from a wealthy family. You must also know that in this family, the most important thing is your face, and this Xue family
If the lady did this, wouldn't this be a slap in the face?
Besides, I heard that the Marquis of Sanyuan County is not very young, so if something happens to this lonely man and widow..."
Speaking of this, the waiter's eyes narrowed like moons! Just as he was about to explain his conjecture to this distinguished guest in detail, he accidentally noticed that the faces of the two healthy servants on the seats suddenly looked ugly, and his heart trembled.
, suddenly I had a bad premonition!
"What happened?" Xiaodong stared at the waiter and asked through gritted teeth!
"I don't know what happened..." The waiter in the shop was smart enough to see that something was not going well, so he hurriedly said with a grimace: "When those men said this, another old Taoist came from outside, with a fairy-like air.
, didn’t even enter the door, just stood at the door.
But when those men saw this old man, they didn't even bother to drink tea, and followed the old man in that direction!"
"Where are you going?" When Xiao Han heard the sudden appearance of the old man, his heart moved inexplicably, and he opened his mouth to ask.
"It's heading towards the Xue family!" the waiter said with certainty!
"How long have you been there and when did you come out?" Xiao Han's voice seemed to be without any emotion.
"This..." The waiter didn't dare to look into Xiao Han's eyes, and said quietly: "I really don't know about this. They didn't come to the store when they left. I really can't help staring at him all the time."
On the street..."
After the waiter finished speaking, he stood quietly aside, not daring to say anything more. He didn't even dare to look at the package of copper.
He has seen a lot of people of all kinds, and he is confident that these tricks will not mislead him. The face of the leading young man suddenly became a little gloomy when he heard that Miss Xue's betrothed!
Could it be that this person is also interested in Miss Xue's family? This is not a rare thing, but I don't know what this Miss Xue's family is like that makes so many people flock to her?
"Xue Pan escaped from marriage. Why did she come to me? Did she have such interest in me from the beginning? Is it really that I was too stupid? Didn't see it? Did I let down the beauty?"
Xiao Han's hand gradually tightened, until the water in the tea cup splashed on his hand, he suddenly realized that he didn't care about the idiot who was hurriedly using his sleeve to wipe the water for him, and stared at the waiter with red eyes and said: "This
What day did it happen? What happened next? Is there any more news?"
The waiter was startled by Xiao Han's eyes and shook his head subconsciously: "This happened three days ago... As for other news, I really don't know..."
"Whose family do those men belong to? Do you know this?"
"I know, I know! The account they posted was that it belonged to the Marquis of Xiangcheng's house, and they asked our shop to go to his house to withdraw money, but there are not many big men in total. We dare to go to the Marquis's house to beg for money, so we can only eat this
What a shame!"
"Xiaodong, give him the money!"
Xiao Han stood up abruptly, gave Xiaodong an order, and then said to the waiter who happily took the money: "Please pay attention to the news about the Xue family and the Hou family in Xiangcheng. Maybe someone will come from us."
,Money is indispensable for you, you hear me?"
"I heard it, I heard it! Please rest assured, sir! I will definitely pay more attention!" The waiter nodded hurriedly. With such a good thing, if you don't agree quickly, why are you waiting?
After leaving the teahouse, Xiao Han thought for a moment and then headed straight towards Dongshi.
Xiaodong and Lengzi, one of whom led the horse and the other drove the cart, followed Xiao Han. They didn't know what Xiao Han was doing in Dongshi. What they asked in the teahouse just now seemed of no use, but why did the Marquis have such a big reaction?
They didn't know that Xiao Han had more doubts in his heart now. Through the waiter's words, Xiao Han knew that the news that Xue Pan went to his place had only spread in the past few days, but who spread the news? Also, that
Why did the Taoist go to Xue Pan's house? To do something? It's impossible. People from the Marquis of Xiangcheng are still involved. It must not be a good thing!
Everything in front of him made Xiao Han's eyes darken. He was too unfamiliar with the people in Chang'an. He couldn't get any information about these things. Before, Zhang Qiang always advised him to walk around Chang'an more, but he had always been inappropriate.
What's going on, now that I look at it, I feel that my life is really pitiful. When he needs help, there is someone who can help him in times of need...
The East Market is not far from here, I thought, and here I am at the entrance of the East Market. Compared to the bustling West Market, the East Market is much quieter. There are no loud voices everywhere, and only a few neatly dressed servants standing at the door.
In front and behind are extremely gorgeous pavilions.
Xue Pan's shop was here. Xiao Han had heard Xue Shou mention it once, so he searched for it based on his memory. It wasn't difficult to find it. After passing a few doors, he saw the antique store.
Taoqiyuan is said to be taken from the word "peach and plum", which means "it is self-contained". From the name, we can also see Xue Shou's gentleman character. However, this gentleman is not an ordinary yin to his enemies. Xiao Han feels that he also
You should learn from him. You can be nice to your own people, but if you want to stand on the opposite side, then you can't help it...
The East Market is different from the West City. Anyone who dares to wander in the East Market is a well-dressed wealthy family. However, the number of wealthy families cannot be compared with that of ordinary people. Therefore, Xiao Han is the only one walking on the huge street.
A lonely group of people.
When we arrived at the door, we just had time to see the signboard clearly when a boy from the store came to greet him. He took the reins from the idiot's hand diligently and led the horse and cart aside to tie them up.
After entering the store, Xiao Han first looked around. The store was large in size and elegantly decorated. Various jade treasures were displayed on the wooden shelves beside the wall. The most eye-catching thing was that on one of the small tables, there was a small incense burner.
The spices are burning in the stove, and wisps of fragrance come out through the incense burner. When you smell it in your nose, not only does it not feel strong, but it makes your mind clear. It can be seen that it is definitely not an ordinary spice.
Xiao Han was looking at the shop, and the shopkeeper in the shop was also looking at Xiao Han. He had been immersed in the business for more than ten years, and his eyes had long been trained to be extremely vicious! In addition, Xiao Han was here to give gifts today, and the clothes he was wearing
It is considered luxurious, so the first thought when the shopkeeper saw Xiao Han was to do a big deal!
"Oh, this guest officer looks strange at first glance, but at the next glance, the guest officer has an aura of nobility! May I ask if you need help from the store? I don't dare to hide it from the guest. The store is also a time-honored brand here.
Now, whether it’s a rare treasure to give as a gift or a rare treasure to play with, the store has it all. Even if the customer says what they want, the store will search for it for the customer!”
The thin shopkeeper came out from behind the counter with a smile on his face. When he opened his mouth, he started to speak in a beautiful way, which made people feel warm and polite at the same time. The scale was just right!
