Chapter 296 Xue Yi’s thoughts

Above the restaurant, there are many diners coming to eat, and there is inevitably a lot of noise outside.

During this period, Xue's mother took a bite of the food and looked at the second daughter-in-law and nephews and nieces from the corner of her eye suspiciously.

Seeing the three people from the second brother's family eating happily there, they didn't hear much of what he and his second brother were talking about, and didn't see any reaction.

I was thinking in my heart that I might have thought wrong. Xue Baochai and Xue Pan beside me didn't know what their mother was doing with their second uncle, so they didn't dare to interrupt at will.

Xue Pan wanted to ask several times, but he hesitated.

At this moment,

On the street facing the street downstairs, the shouts of small merchants and hawkers on the street were also noisy. Not far from the city gate, many soldiers of the imperial army were dispatched.

After the soldiers came down from the city wall, they waved their whips to drive away the crowd of people at the city gate without saying a word. It turned out that the head of the Forbidden Army Camp, General Qian, saw that the Marquis's motorcade was approaching, and the people below had not dispersed yet.

Some of them were angry that their subordinates were not doing their job well. If General Zhonglang saw it, he would have to peel off his skin even if he did not die. He directly went down from the tower in person and started violently driving away with a large number of sergeants.

The attack must have been harsh, and the people who were hit also wailed a few times, but the people around him ran faster.

"Master Zhen, you are back. If you don't come, how dare you leave Su?"

"Oh, it's the imperial envoy from the capital. The person below is Luo Yunhou."

Who knew that when I arrived in my main hall, a familiar figure was still here? This was not...

"Today, we have already negotiated with the old lady of the Hou Mansion. I didn't want to nag my second brother so early, but my sister-in-law wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to talk about the matter."

"Second brother, you also know that since your eldest brother left, the business of the Xue family has been getting worse day by day, and the shopkeeper under him has become more and more wanton. You also know that Pan'er is not suitable for business. I am also a womanizer.

There are many things people can’t do.”

Brother and sister Xue Biao could not help but look at Xue Baochai with envy. Only a fairy like Sister Baochai could have such luck, and now she is getting richer and richer.

Su Jinkai, who was sitting on a chair in the hall, saw Uncle Zhen walking in. He stood up and greeted him with a smile.

Xue's mother didn't want to hide the matter. After all, she was really leaving, so she still needed to tell her second brother, just to think about it.

Mother Xue also paused, put down her chopsticks, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of water, and said seriously;

"Second brother, sister-in-law wants to tell you something."

"Lao Su, it's not that Zhen doesn't want to help you, it's that Zhen is really powerless,"

"Well, come over when you're done. I'll write to the Hou Mansion and ask how to collect those properties. But you have to know, second brother, that these are just money to buy the road, and they will definitely be taken away."

The boss, Zhen Yuandao, also got the old lady's advice and wanted to accompany the guests in the evening.

Just when Xue Yi was sitting there thinking wildly,

The cannibals eating in the restaurant also stretched their heads and looked outside to see what the forbidden troops were doing.

Mrs. Wang also nodded when she saw this,

"I'm sorry to trouble Mrs. Zhen."

Before Xue Yi could react, everyone else was shocked. Xue Baoqin said "Ah." and even dropped his chopsticks.

After passing the big yard, we took a path and walked back along an artificial lake.

Zhen Yingjia heard it from the front and explained;

"Master Marquis, Eunuch Zhao, the water in this lake has been brought from Jing Lake with great effort, so it is so clear."

Zhen family,

"Quick, please."

Xue's mother didn't want to care about those things, but her second brother asked and glanced towards the street, and saw Marquis Luo Yun riding on the horse. No wonder the imperial army was so honest. Thinking of Xue Baochai's situation, she felt secretly happy.

The power is so majestic.

Xue Yi also looked at it with envy in his eyes and asked;

Zhang Jinyu also walked leisurely, admiring the Jinling City in the evening along the way. The shops along the way were hung with lanterns and stalls were spread out on the street, making it even more lively.

"Thank you sir for your advice."

Xue Pan was also suddenly enlightened. When he saw his uncle actually showing a flattering look, he knew what power meant. His sister had risen to the top in one step, so he felt no resentment in his heart. It was a pity for that girl Xiang Ling, but he was guarding her.

If it's just gone, wouldn't it be a waste of time to kill the one without eyes?

Su Jinkai immediately saluted with both hands, thanked him and sat down.

When Xue's mother saw that her second brother was willing to give up, she also looked at her with a high look. Her words were true. She thought about it and said;

I was quite fond of seeing the Imperial Guards on both sides of the city gate, waiting neatly there.

Not long after, they arrived at the Zhen Mansion in Dongcheng. When they reached the gate, Zhang Jinyu dismounted first and saw Zhen Yingjia greeting him in front of the gate.

"Zhen Yingjia has met Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou, you are here."

"Oh, it's him. He's really brave. He is indeed the best army in the world. He is much stronger than the soldiers of Jiangnan's army. By the way, how did you know, sister-in-law?"

The lake was crystal clear and fish could be seen swimming, so he asked;

"Brother Zhao, look, the water in this lake is really clean."

Xue Yi also had some incredible attainments;

Xue Yi was sitting by the window and could see clearly. When he thought about entering the city today, there were several times more guards at the city gate. Many of the sergeants were well-equipped. After asking around, he found out that even the Imperial Guards had come out. What must have happened?

Then a group of people entered Zhen's Mansion with their personal guards. Zhen Yingjia led the way and kept introducing the gardens in the mansion.

Not to mention, the crowd dispersed after a short while, but the people were angry but dared not speak, and they were all cursing after leaving.

The middle gate was also wide open. Zhen Yingjia had already received the news that the convoy of the Marquis and Eunuch Zhao had arrived, so he was waiting at the middle gate with the stewards and guards.

Xue's mother also made up her mind to leave Jinling. Maybe a change of environment would be better.

After praising him, Xue Yi asked in surprise.

After the city gate was cleared, General Qian of the Forbidden Army led his men to line up under the city gate. Zhang Jinyu's motorcade then slowly walked in. The uniform cavalry team, with their sturdy bodies wrapped in armor, was full of evil spirits.

At first glance, they look like elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time.

"Sit down, someone will come and serve tea to President Su."

After saying that, he turned around and left the front hall, exited the Zhen Mansion through the side door, and then sat not far outside the main door, waiting for the Marquis to come out, and was ready to stop the carriage to meet with the Marquis to see if he could

There is a glimmer of hope.

"Easy to say, easy to say."

"Hey, Su Jinkai, President Su, why haven't you left yet?"

"Tonight, the Zhen Mansion is hosting a banquet for the Imperial Envoy. The rest is up to you."

The common people also watched along the way, and most of them gathered around to watch their own motorcade.

Xue Yi was at a loss for a moment, it was too sudden, and he tried to speak several times but couldn't say anything. However, after looking at the pair of children, Xue Yi also weighed it secretly, gritted his teeth and said;

"Sister-in-law, can you tell Mr. Hou that the second brother also wants to join Mr. Hou and find a backer for the two children? You know, Xue Biao has been honest since he was a child, and Baoqin is about to get married. Our merchants will be low-level. If Hou

I may not be able to marry a good family if I am behind my back, what do you think, sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law, please speak. My brother is listening."

Zhang Jinyu also followed in the middle of the team. He nodded to General Qian of the Forbidden Army Camp on his horse, and the team continued to move forward. Behind him was the Imperial City Division team of Ouchi Eunuch Zhao, who looked even more noble.

"I have some connection with Luo Yunhou's mother. No, we met by chance today, and we can be considered relatives. My sister-in-law is planning to bring the Xue family to join the Hou Mansion. Firstly, she will find a way out for Pan'er, and secondly, she will give Bao Bao a chance to escape.

Chai is looking for someone to rely on. You are also a direct descendant of the Xue family. My sister-in-law will tell you here. It may not be long before my sister-in-law leaves Jinling and goes to Beijing."

Zhen Yingjia raised her head and saw him. She didn't know who this person was, so she gave him another big salute.

"I've met Eunuch Zhao. Thank you very much for taking care of the Zhen family."

Not to mention, Zhang Jinyu also opened his eyes. Jiangnan gardens are different from the rough ones in the north. Even a small courtyard is carefully crafted. It can be regarded as a painting, let alone such a large courtyard. It is so beautiful.

.

When Zhen Yingjia saw everyone gathered, she accompanied her carefully.

"Sister-in-law, please tell me."

And Eunuch Zhao, who was behind the car, also walked over with a full belly.

Zhen Yuandao just reminded him, then quickly put the banknote into his arms, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, signaling to see off the guests.

"The eldest master is still benevolent and righteous, but I am ashamed of myself."

Xue Yi also knows the rules, but with a backer, many things are guaranteed, and there is no shortage of money.

Seeing that Xue Yi was no longer interrupting, Xue's mother continued;

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I understand."

Seeing Zhen Yuan's excuse, Su Jinkai panicked and took out 200,000 taels of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table.

"Sir, if you show me a way out for my foolish brother, I will surely repay you with generous gifts."
