037 Borrowing force

Wang Shi waited for Xie Qigong to go to the study and called Su Luo and said, "You're going to Zhao County Magistrate's Mansion and tell Mrs. Zhao what happened just now."

Su Luo's jaws came out of the two doors with cuffs.

The county magistrate of Zhao is called Zhao Zhen. His ancestral home is Chaoyang. He has been serving as the county magistrate in Qinghe for three years, and his term of office will expire at the end of this year.

I don't know whether Zhao Zhen is an honest official or not. In my impression, she is still easy-going. Mrs. Zhao took office with her husband. Because of her generosity and practice, she is very favored by her women. The famous big families in the county all have some personal friends with the Zhao family. Mrs. Zhao often gathers with her husbands in the county to eat tea and enjoy flowers, and because of her good skill of flower arrangement, the county has set off a trend of folding flowers and bottles in the past two years.

Xie Wan stood in front of the window of the building, stroking the three branches of camellias inserted in the flower goblet on the piano case.

The rain outside the window has stopped. Chunhui Qiumei was carrying water and cleaning the muddy corridor with the women. Chunhui accidentally kicked the water in the bucket. Qiumei laughed loudly, and the women cursed wantonly, breaking the dull yard condensed by the rain.

Xie Wan left the window, went back to the room with a cloak, and went out of the yard alone.

The yard is also almost the same. The dead leaves and winter flowers of the old years were swept into the mud and ditches by the heavy rain. There are not many people walking under the porch. Most of them are stuffy in the house in this kind of weather.

Xie Wan entered the wind courtyard, and Mother Qi was going through the hall to let people clean the hall. It's almost the Lantern Festival. Although we don't want to celebrate, it's still necessary to clean up.

Seeing Xie Wan appearing alone under the door, Mother Qi hurried over and closed her little hand and said, "My girl, why did you come here on such a cold day? There is no one around to use it.

Huang's voice came from the room: "Who's here?"

Mother Qi said, "It's the third girl!"

As soon as the door rang, in a blink of an eye, Huang Shi, wearing a snow-white lying rabbit, came out of the room with a smile, "Come in quickly! It's freezing carefully."

Xie Wan obediently followed her into the door. When she got to the room, Qi Xue untied the canop for her, and Yin Shuang poured ginger jujube tea again. Huang picked up her hand and put it on the fumigation furnace. As she looked at her face, she asked, "Why are you so depressed? What's wrong?"

Xie Wan's eyes turned red, "I made a mistake."

Huang Shi smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

She bit her lip and said, "When I was in Wutouzhuang, I beat Li Ershun, who used to be a bad person in the second-bedroom house."

Huang's eyes flashed slightly and calmed down. As long as the things in the main courtyard are not closed and not asked, there is nothing she doesn't know. There was no need to hide it from her, so he said, "It doesn't matter if you hit it. He is just a slave, not to mention saying such disrespectful words, it's the same for you to teach him a lesson for the old lady.

Xie Wan shed tears: "But I still have something to say in front of the master."

Huang Shi was slightly shocked, "What are you talking about?"

She squeezed her lips and lowered her head and said, "Li Ershun also said that his wife wants to marry the eldest sister to the young master of the Zhao family."

The young master of the Zhao family is 16 years old. When he was five years old, he had a fever and burned his brain. So far, he has not drooled at the corners of his mouth.

The flames flashed in Huang's eyes, and his body also paused. But soon, she stroked her head and smiled: "Silly child. It can be seen that Li Ershun is all nonsense. The appearance of the young master of the Zhao family, even the daughter of the common people, refused to marry. His wife loves her sister so much. How could she marry the young master of the Zhao family? You also believe it."

She is still confident about this. Although Wang is biased, she will not bury the three houses like this. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but despise Xie Wan's eyes.

Xie Wan raised his head and said, "However, Mrs. Zhao already has the eldest sister's eight characters, and she is still looking for Liu Banxian's marriage on the street. How can such a noble elder sister match that stupid young master?

Huang finally frowned: "How do you know?"

"Liu Banxian set up a stall in Lizi Hutong, and the clerk in our shop saw it with his own eyes." She said in a hurry.

Huang's eyebrows frowned more and more.

But she still shook her head, "It's impossible. They must have read it wrong. There is no reason for my wife to do this.

Xie Wan said lonely, "I don't know either. Maybe only the wife knows. Now I'm so worried that the master will blame my brother.

At this point, she poured out a grievance again.

Huang Shi couldn't help saying, "What's the matter with my brother?"

She doesn't think that at her age, she can think that Xie Qigong will come forward to take this responsibility in order to calm down in the end.

Xie Wan opened his eyes and said, "Because this matter was provoked by me going to Huangshi Town to see the shop on behalf of my brother!" My brother has already arranged a shop in Huangshi Town. He planned to take over the shop in Liuye Hutong and open it. The two shops in Qingyuanzhou will also open this year. On that day, when he heard that we were going to Wutouzhuang, he told Wu Xing and I to see the location. Isn't it my brother's business?"

Huang Shi was stunned to keep up with her rhythm, "Are you going to open so many shops?"

Xie Wan said, "Yes, he said that it's easy to do things with money. Open a few more shops, have money in hand, and have the confidence to speak and do things.

Huang looked at her in a stun and was speechless.

Xie Wan stayed and drank a hot bowl before returning to the room.

Huang waited for her to leave and sit on the kang for a long time before calling Mother Qi in.

"How true do you think this matter is?"

Mother Qi said, "Are you talking about Sister Wei?" She thought for a second and said, "It's unlikely that no matter how much the wife flatties Zhao County Magistrate, she won't sacrifice her eldest granddaughter. Even if she agrees, it depends on what our master means! I think most of it was Li Ershun's casual nonsense, which was believed by the third girl.

Huang Shi muttered, "I also don't think so. But the second room suddenly opened so many shops, so it's hard to guarantee that she won't!"

Msama Qi thought for a while, and then said in surprise, "Grandma said--"

Huang Shi looked at her and said, "Brother Lang wants to open a shop to make money. Let's not say whether he can stand up to such a big show, but only that he is so flamboyant. How can his wife feel comfortable? Even if he has nothing to do, he will make something come out to make him respond. Now that Sister Wan's son has hit Li Ershun, she will naturally borrow it to make a big deal.

After listening to this, Mother Qi nodded and said, "Grandma said it right. We haven't seen Li Ershun before. To put it hard, it's a muddy mud that can't support the wall. Zhao County's Ling family is finally an official. How can Li Ershun climb up for no reason? And coincidentally, he also instigated the Zhao county magistrate to come to the door to embarrass the second room--"

Huang Shi sneered: "So, without a great **, it is impossible for the Zhao family to do this for her. The Xie family can't help him in officialdom now, and his wife doesn't have the ability to give a large sum of money in private, so she can only solve their problems! She thought of a good idea to give my sister to that fool!"

At the end, she clenched her fist and her voice trembled.

Mother Qi hurriedly said, "Grandma, keep a low voice. Sister Wei is arrogant. I don't know how angry she is to hear this. Thanks to the present, there is a sign, and it is not too late for us to respond quickly. Even if the wife can suppress grandma, we always have a third master who loves his daughter, right? In a word, don't let them succeed!"

Huang took a deep breath and shook her head with her hand on her forehead: "As long as I think of my narcissus-like sister going to pair with that fool, I will--" She sighed, calmed down and raised her head and said, "If this is not done well, it is to lift a stone and hit my own foot. After all, Sister Wan is a child, and she can't believe everything she said. You go to the street to inquire first, and finally find Liu Banxian.

Mother Qi hurriedly said, "I'm going now!"

Xie Wan went back to the room, untied the bucket to Yuxue who greeted him, and asked, "Have Luo Ju and Shen Tian returned to the shop?"

Yuxue nodded: "I'm going back. Li Ershun also sent him back to Zhao's house together, and he explained it according to what the girl said.

Xie Wan hummed and sat on the brocade mat.

Yu Xue looked at her from the side and said carefully, "There won't be any accident, right?"

She shook her head: "No. A person who is afraid of death is afraid of death at all times.

She is still quite sure to pinch Li Ershun. Even if he hasn't been scared enough this time, won't he be afraid of falling into her hands next time? After all, the rich and powerful people in the world still take advantage of him. Even if the Zhao family protects him this time because of the Wang family, can they protect him again and again?

She supported her cheeks and said, "I'm just thinking, why did Wang Shi give Wang Anmei to the stupid son of the Zhao family as his wife?"

Wang Anmei is the eldest daughter of Wang Geng, Wang's nephew. The condition set by Wang and Mrs. Zhao is not to marry Sister Wei, as Xie Wan said, but Wang Anmei.

Although the Wang family is not a rich family, the county can have more than 20 mu of land, and there are not many families with aunts like Wang. Wang Anmei should be able to choose a relatively good family from ordinary people. Since Wang dares to be the master of Wang Anmei, he naturally asked the Wang family, so why did the Wang family give in so much?

It is said that this matter has little to do with the second room, but since there are doubts, it can't be easily ignored.

"Maybe it's Wang Anmei's lack of appearance."

Yu Xue said.

does not rule out this possibility. But if you give a few more silver as a dowry, no matter how ugly you are, you can at least marry a tenant with good facial features and a sound mind, right? Why stuff a daughter into a fool's hand like a rag? Isn't it ruined to marry a fool? Anyway, I haven't heard that the daughter of the Wang family is also a fool.

Xie Wan couldn't figure it out.

"How about it, let Luo Ju inquire again." Yuxue suggested this.

She waved her hand and said, "You can ask. But this is not the right time. Let's go through this stubble first."

Just as he was talking here, Yufang ran in, "Girl, Luo Ju is back!"

Luo Ju walked in quickly from the outside, lowered his hurried voice and said, "Girl, I got it back!" With that, he handed over a paper envelope in his hand.
