Author: The Secret in the Tree Hole
Xu Yinyin helped Mrs. Xu to chop the vegetables and set the fire to prepare lunch. After they had all eaten, Asarum returned.
Xu Yinyin signaled her not to rush, let her finish her meal, took her out of the shop, got on the carriage and returned to Xin'anfang, and then asked her about her situation.
Xi Xin immediately said: "Miss, I followed Master Wang and saw them enter Cui's house with my own eyes. I even watched them for a few more hours, but I didn't see them come out again."
No wonder it took so long.
Cui family?
The eldest mistress of the Cui family, Mrs. Zheng, came from Wang Guogong's mansion in Beijing. She heard Dong Qinghua mention this matter.
Could it be that Mr. Wang is related to Wang Guogong’s mansion?
Xu Yinyin frowned and thought for a while, then asked the coachman to turn the horse's head and go to Dong's Mansion in Tongluo Lane.
Large families generally have a rule of handing in greetings first and then visiting the door. It doesn't matter if Xu Yinyin goes there temporarily, because she is going to the Dong family, and both Dong Qianhu and Mrs. Dong like her very much.
She is welcome to visit her home at any time.
Moreover, Xu Yinyin came to see Dong Qinghua. The concierge immediately informed Dong Qinghua's courtyard. After a while, Dong Qinghua trotted out with his skirt in hand.
"Sister Xu!"
"I was just trying to nag you! You came here without even thinking about it. It seems like you heard my nagging, right?"
Xu Yinyin responded with a smile: "One day is like three autumns apart. Tsinghua misses me so much. I am a little flattered!"
Dong Qinghua took her hand and led her to his courtyard while thinking about the past few days.
Speaking of the banquet that the Ye family was going to hold on Lantern Festival, she covered her mouth and snickered: "Sister Xu, have you received the invitation too? I heard that Mrs. Ye will officially announce the engagement of the Ye Fang family at the banquet.
Woolen cloth!"
"Is this settled?" Xu Yinyin hasn't heard yet. Dong Qinghua is a mobile information database. No matter what news about every household in this city, it cannot escape her ears. Ask her whether she is right, commonly known as
"Inquiry included".
Dong Qinghua smiled: "It's settled! Among us little sisters, Sister Wang will not talk about it. Sister Xu, you are engaged, and now Sister Fang is also engaged. I think Sister Tao is about the same, but there is only one left.
I’m following Yinyin!”
Xu Yinyin laughed at her: "Hey, we at Tsinghua University hate to get married?"
Dong Qinghua was furious, "No way! I really want to get married!"
While talking, the two of them had already entered the small flower hall in Dong Qinghua's courtyard, sat down and served tea. Dong Qinghua then continued: "I have already made it clear to my mother that I will get married in the future, and I will definitely get married.
I like what I like!"
Xu Yinyin nodded, sincerely wishing that she would get what she wanted and meet the right man.
After the little daughter's fight, Dong Qinghua asked Xu Yinyin, "Why did Sister Xu come to me alone today? But what's the matter?"
"Tsinghua University is smart, and I can't hide anything from you." Xu Yinyin smiled, and then asked her about Wang Guogong's residence.
"Wang Guogong's Mansion?" Dong Qinghua frowned and thought carefully, "The title of Wang Guogong's Mansion is hereditary. In this generation, Wang Guogong is already the fifth, and Wang Guogong's Mansion has long been inferior to the previous ones.
It was such a beautiful time.
Nowadays, Wang Guogong only has a title and no actual duties. Wang Guogong's eldest son only does a small job, so his reputation sounds loud. In the capital, Wang Guogong's palace is really nothing. In real terms
, not as good as my uncle!"
Commander Yang leads a group of guards and has a large number of troops. He is really not comparable to those empty-shell nobles in Beijing.
Xu Yinyin frowned when she heard this. If this is true, then maybe Mr. Wang is not from Duke Wang's mansion?
She was wondering.
Opposite me, Dong Qinghua took a sip of tea, suddenly remembered something, and said again: "Ah! By the way, I heard someone say that Grandma Cui has a concubine who is the concubine of King Yong!
"
"King Yong?" Xu Yinyin raised her eyebrows, "Who is this?"
She really doesn't know much about this.
Dong Qinghua said: "King Yong is the youngest brother of the late emperor, so to speak, he is the emperor's cousin.
Speaking of King Yong, we have to mention a secret about the late emperor when he was still alive!
Didn’t the late emperor always have no prince? As he got older, senior ministers kept writing letters, asking the late emperor to adopt a suitable son in the clan and establish him as the crown prince. The late emperor kept evading it and even changed the draft to once a year.
, he took many women into the palace, thinking that he could give birth to a prince.
Unfortunately, after many years, there was still no movement. Later, the late emperor had to relax and agreed to select a suitable candidate for the crown prince within the clan.
The person closest to the late emperor by blood is naturally King Yong. Unfortunately, King Yong had a lot of legitimate daughters and concubines, so he only had one son, who was the son of a concubine. He looked more precious than his eyes. He had always
He was famous for his reputation as Hun. Before the late emperor could find him, he went to the late emperor himself and refused to adopt his son. I heard that the late emperor was so angry that he punished him to shut up and think about his mistakes, so the matter was settled.
Later, the late emperor had no choice but to turn his attention to other members of the clan, but after many selections, he could not find one he liked, and in the end he did not decide on the heir apparent, so he fell seriously ill."
Later, the current Queen Mother listened to the old minister's words and issued an order to summon the patron king to the capital.
"I heard that King Yong was a dandy when he was young. He was a romantic by nature. He was proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. He also needed the favor of the Queen Mother. No one in the capital dared to offend him.
However, he is a dandy, but he loves to do business. The largest treasure pavilion in the capital can earn a fortune every day. It is the property of King Yong. Also, I heard that the famous Yonghe Fang in the capital accounts for more than half of the city.
All the shops belong to King Yong! In short, whether it is food, clothing, housing or transportation, as long as it is a business that can be done, King Yong is involved in it and will not refuse anyone who comes!
The late emperor also indulged him in doing business when he was still alive. I heard that because he earned so much money, he even gave half of it to the late emperor."
After saying that, Dong Qinghua covered the corner of his mouth with his hand, raised his eyebrows at Xu Yinyin and said, "It is said that King Yong's wealth is as rich as any country! Even the most famous Jiang family in Dayan, known as the richest man, cannot compare with him!"
Xu Yinyin raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She loves doing business and does whatever she catches.
He is related to the emperor and is his cousin.
So, the person behind it is King Yong?
Her mind was racing, and she asked Dong Qinghua about the relationship between Prince Yong and the Emperor. They said they were cousins, but in fact they were very far apart. The Emperor's great-grandfather and Prince Yong's grandfather were descended from the same father.
The Tian family has no family ties, and the emperor has been fighting everywhere since he was a child. How good can the relationship be?
Xu Yinyin smiled slightly when she thought of how the Kong family was ransacked last year and all the confiscated money went into Minren Garden.
But you can’t bet, what if the emperor attaches great importance to family ties?
If the person behind this is really King Yong, it depends on how far King Yong plans to go.
With this in mind, Xu Yinyin didn't stay much longer. After saying goodbye to Dong Qinghua, she hurried back home.
There is no need to use the golden finger. Xu Yinyin immediately explained the matter to Xu Dajun and asked Xu Dajun to listen to what was going on in the Cui Mansion to see if he could hear any useful information.
Naturally, nothing could be heard for a while. Xu Dajun said simply and rudely: "Why don't I go find Manager Wu and talk to him about this matter?"
When Xu Yinyin heard this, her mind became clear.
Thick thighs are also golden fingers!
If you go to the boss for something, even if the boss doesn't help, can the situation be worse than it is now?
Anyway, if the boss doesn't help, then if King Yong really comes to force them, there's nothing they can do.
It's better to simply and rudely tell the boss about the situation they encountered and see what the boss's reaction is. Even if he is on the side of King Yong, he won't just watch them get hurt by King Yong, right?
The worst case scenario is that Fang Zi cannot be saved in the end.
It is better to take the initiative than sit back and wait for death.
Xu Yinyin nodded immediately, "You can go! But it's not just about this, let's... walk around, I will teach you carefully on the way..."
Without further ado, Xu Dajun will go to school tomorrow.
The two siblings immediately went out together and got on the carriage to go to Akihito Garden.
Xu Dajun's face in Mingren Garden really looked like it had been recorded with facial recognition. When the person who opened the door saw it was him, he let the person in first, and then went inside to report to see if Manager Wu wanted to see him.
.
Manager Wu naturally saw him. When he came in, he first checked whether Xu Dajun had brought anything with him and asked, "What do you want, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Dajun didn't ignore his look. He couldn't help but wonder, did Manager Wu think he had brought something good to show?
Then he scratched his head and smiled, "Manager Wu, does Manager Wu know all these sanitary ware products sold by our Xuji Sanitary Ware Shop?"
Manager Wu was slightly puzzled. Of course he knew about this. Didn't he know this for a long time? The year before last, although the master only paid attention to the hot pot, he did not ignore Xu Ji Sanitary Ware Shop. This year, there was no shortage of things.
Let him buy a lot of soap and toothpaste and send them to the palace.
Besides, the Xu family gave him these New Year gifts, so how could he not know?
Mr. Xu came forward to talk about this matter. Why?
He looked at Xu Dajun with puzzled eyes.
Xu Dajun paused and then said: "What does Manager Wu think of our Xu Ji's sanitary ware?"
"Of course it's good." Manager Wu said, waiting for him to continue.
Xu Dajun chuckled, as if a junior was embarrassed in front of his elders, and said: "Manager Wu, look, if our family wants to cooperate with the palace, take over this business, and be responsible for providing these sanitary ware to the palace, you
Do you think it’s feasible?”
Manager Wu understood immediately after hearing this, "Does your family want to be an imperial merchant?"
Xu Dajun said innocently: "I wonder if you have this honor and opportunity?"
Manager Wu thought about the things he sent to the palace. Not to mention others, the master was very used to them. Every household in the Yiyang Mansion, a big family, used good things. There was no reason why the palace was missing them.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I will wait until I write to the superiors for instructions on this matter."
Xu Dajun was overjoyed when he heard that there was a high chance of something happening. He hurriedly said something like "please ask Manager Wu to ask him to do something".
He bowed his hands to Manager Wu and said, "Manager Wu has taken great care of my family. I am really grateful. In the future, if Manager Wu needs me, just send me!"
Manager Wu only stepped down to take care of the affairs of Ming Renyuan, but in fact he still had some rank. After all, he was a lieutenant general who had fought with the emperor in the north and south, and he really couldn't bear to receive a courtesy from Xu Dajun.
.
Seeing Xu Dajun like this, he smiled and said, "You have a sweet mouth, kid."
Xu Dajun smiled and flattered him a lot, making Manager Wu feel happy and accepted his tricks.
Then the conversation changed, "I still have a little thing, I want to ask Manager Wu for help."
Manager Wu didn't even think about it and said, "Tell me." He can even help with the imperial business matter, what else can't he help with?
Xu Dajun said: "Guanshi Wu also knows that our Xu family's foundation here is not stable, and we are still unclear about many things. Recently, the workshop has expanded its enrollment, and we have found that someone seems to be eyeing the workshop, but we have no idea who the person is.
I know, I’m really a little worried, I don’t know what the other party’s purpose is and what they are planning to do, so I want to ask Manager Wu to help investigate this matter.”
Hearing this, Manager Wu's eyes flashed slightly.
Nowadays, who in Yiyang Prefecture doesn’t know that the Xu family has a close relationship with Ming Renyuan, and that there are still people who secretly want to take advantage of the Xu family’s workshop?
The secret recipe of the sanitary ware is really exciting.
But those are the village princes and officials personally granted by the emperor, so who has thought about it?
He was also a little curious.
After some thought, Manager Wu agreed, "I will send someone to investigate. Mr. Xu, please go back and wait for good news."
