Chapter 664 Killing two birds with one stone

 On August 14th, Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li took Yan Wenxiu, his wife and Daohua to the provincial capital and stayed at Li's house. On August 15th, they went to Yuan's house neither early nor late.

After arriving at Yuan's house, Mrs. Yuan was quite enthusiastic towards Mrs. Li and took the initiative to chat with Mrs. Li and other female family members.

This was the first time Han Xinran went out as a guest after marrying into the Yan family. After Mrs. Li introduced her to everyone, Daohua accompanied her throughout the trip to get to know the female relatives of other officials.

Daohua basically knew all the female relatives of provincial government officials. She took Han Xinran for a walk and almost recognized them all.

"Sister Su."

Daohua brought Han Xinran to the female family members of the Su family and whispered in her ear: "Sister Su and my fourth brother have already made an engagement."

Hearing this, Han Xinran immediately looked at Su Shiyu with a smile and expressed his kindness to her: "Miss Su."

Su Shiyu also returned the gift very affectionately: "Grandma Yan."

The two of them secretly looked at each other, and they couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the other party was easy to talk to.

In a family, the relationship between sisters-in-law is also very important.

After that, the three of them found a pavilion and sat down. Daohua and Su Shiyu introduced to Han Xinran the relationships between the families who came to attend the banquet.

When the three of them were talking enthusiastically, Yuan Zhilei came over with a few girls: "Miss Su, Grandma Yan, Miss Yan, what are you talking about, are you so happy?"

Daohua smiled and said: "I was saying that the tea snacks and mooncakes prepared by your family today are delicious."

Yuan Zhilei smiled: "Really? If you like it, I'd be so happy." After saying that, she sat in the pavilion with the other girls.

After everyone chatted for a while, Yuan Zhilei saw the yellow jade and sunflower hairpin on Daohua's head. She couldn't help but take a second look and said with a smile: "The hairpin on Miss Yan's head is really unique."

Daohua smiled: "Thank you."

The girl from the prosecutor's family took a look and said with a smile: "I think it's not bad. Although topaz is rare, you can still find it if you look carefully."

Yuan Zhilei smiled and said: "I think it's unique, not because of the topaz, but because of the carved flower shape."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Daohua.

Yuan Zhilei then explained: "Usually we rarely see sunflowers on the jewelry we wear. Today I saw Miss Yan wearing it and found it quite beautiful."

As he said that, he looked at Daohua.

"Miss Yan, why do you want to carve the hairpin into the shape of a sunflower?"

Daohua smiled lightly and said: "There is no special reason, I just like it."

Yuan Zhilei smiled: "Sunflowers were not common in the past. I know it because there is a Sunflower Villa on the Tangyu Mountain in the capital. In June last year, I was lucky enough to see the sunflowers blooming all over the mountain. I still remember the magnificent scenery.

The memory is still fresh."

At this time, Han Xinran answered: "I also know about that villa. Most of the ones we see on weekdays are plum groves and peach groves. Sceneries like the sea of ​​sunflowers are rare."

Yuan Zhilei nodded: "Isn't it? I also heard that there is a beautiful legend circulating in Sunflower Villa."

"What legend?"

Seeing everyone looking at her, looking eager to hear what she was doing, Yuan Zhilei smiled without trying to seduce everyone, and said with a smile: "It is said that the sunflowers all over the mountain were planted by a handsome young master and given to him.

My sweetheart only wants to win the beauty’s smile.”

"Really?"

Many girls showed yearning looks.

Daohua couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth as she listened.

Yuan Zhilei saw Daohua smiling and asked: "Why is Miss Yan laughing?"

Daohua put away her smile and said seriously: "I just think the legendary young master is quite romantic."

Su Shiyu took a look at the rice flowers. She remembered that Yiyi had sent a sea of ​​sunflowers to the young prince.

Is she bragging?

Yuan Zhilei: "It's indeed quite romantic, but some people say that it was planted by a gentleman to please his wife. Anyway, the rumors about Sunflower Villa have never stopped, and I don't know who is true and who is false."

"Many people are asking about the owner of the villa and want to go in and enjoy the beautiful scenery up close. Unfortunately, Sunflower Villa, like the Four Seasons Villa next door, is mysterious and mysterious, and it is impossible to find out the owner behind it."

Hearing this, Daohua raised her eyebrows and asked tentatively: "Are the two villas famous?"

Yuan Zhilei smiled and nodded: "Of course, Sunflower Villa is not bad, and it is only known among people who like to enjoy flowers. Four Seasons Villa is even more famous."

As he said that, he looked at Han Xinran.

"I wonder if Grandma Yan has ever eaten the fruits and vegetables produced at Four Seasons Villa?"

Han Xinran smiled and said: "I have eaten it before, but only rarely. Every time, the servants in the mansion have to queue up early, and many times they can't buy it."

Yuan Zhilei looked regretful: "My family is the same. When the tomatoes came out last year, I really wanted to eat them. Unfortunately, from the time they were put on the market to the time they were taken off the market, I only ate three in total."

"I heard that King Rui also liked tomatoes very much. Once he showed his identity in a store and wanted to buy more tomatoes, but unfortunately he was rejected."

Daohua interjected: "Is the stuff grown at Four Seasons Villa so popular?"

Yuan Zhilei and Han Xinran nodded in unison.

Yuan Zhilei continued: "The main reason why Four Seasons Villa is so famous is that the crops grown there are high-yielding. Everyone bought the seeds and went back to plant them, which has confirmed this."

Daohua said again: "Since we have bought the seeds, there is no need to rob the fruits and vegetables produced in the villa, right?"

Yuan Zhilei shook her head: "In the beginning, everyone did go there for the taste, but later, they went there for the fame. I don't know when it started. Everyone is proud to be able to eat the food from the Four Seasons Fruit and Vegetable Shop.



Han Xinran nodded, also looking puzzled.

Daohua was happy. She knew that the two shops in the capital were doing well. Qin Xiaoliu also mentioned this in the letter, but she didn't expect that their reputation would be so prosperous.

And that guy Xiao Yeyang is really willing to use such a good villa to grow sunflowers. He is really a prodigal.

Everyone was talking about all kinds of interesting things, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. After a while, there was a noise in the distance. Everyone looked for the sound and found that the female family members of the Jiang family and the Guo family had arrived.

Daohua's eyes flashed when she saw Mrs. Jiang and her daughter arriving, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, but it quickly disappeared again.

As soon as Mrs. Jiang arrived, she stabbed Mrs. Li a few times, making the scene a little embarrassing.

Mrs. Yuan stood aside and watched, with no intention of trying to smooth things over.

Daohua watched this scene with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Han Xinran looked worried and wanted to go to her mother-in-law, but was stopped by Daohua.

"It's okay, Mom can handle it."

Looking at Daohua's cold eyes, Han Xinran felt nervous for some reason and immediately decided to stay with her. Her mother-in-law would not act impulsively, but the same could not be said for her sister-in-law.

The Jiang family has a high position and is really not something the Yan family can confront head-on.

Soon, it’s lunch time.

Just when everyone was about to sit down and eat, there was a commotion in the front yard.

Seeing the jasper dragon button seal falling out of Jiang Shenzheng's arms, the expressions of everyone present changed drastically, and the eyes of the host, Yuan Buzheng, twitched even more.

The Jasper Dragon Button Seal was a token of the Eight Kings, but it fell out of Chiang Kai-shek's arms. What does this mean?

The Yuan family's staff looked solemn, thought for a moment, and quickly said to the envoy Yuan Bu: "Master, hurry up and order the arrest, otherwise, our Yuan family will also be implicated in the gang members of the Eight Kings."

Ambassador Yuan hesitated: "But the Jiang family..."

The staff member quickly said: "Master is acting according to the rules. How to punish Chiang for participating in politics is the emperor's business."

Envoy Yuan Buzheng looked at Chiang Shenzheng angrily. Even if this guy wanted to get involved with the Eight Kings, don't let him know. The assassin had tried to get Chiang Shenzheng before. In order not to antagonize the Jiang family, he had already concealed it.

But today...

Almost all the officials from the Zhongzhou Provincial Government have arrived, and he can’t hide it even if he wants to!

Envoy Yuan Buzheng gritted his teeth and said: "Come here, arrest Chiang Kai-shek."

Jiang Shenzheng, who was confused by the Jade Dragon Button Seal, heard this and scolded: "How dare you!"

Ambassador Yuan Bu said in a cold voice: "I am just doing official business. Since you are carrying a token of the Eight Kings, I have no choice but to escort you to the capital and hand it over to the emperor." After saying this, he waved his hand.

Soon, more than a dozen guards with swords rushed towards Jiang Shenzheng.

When Jiang Shenzheng saw that Chief Yuan was really going to kill him, his face turned livid with anger: "Yuan Xingsi, you are blind. Can't you see that I was framed?"

Ambassador Yuan Bu: "I am willing to believe you, but you should go and talk to the emperor about this."

The Emperor has hated the Eight Kings deeply over the years. Anyone involved in the Eight Kings' gangs will definitely be liquidated in the future. He does not want the Yuan family to be implicated.

By the time the news from the front yard reached the back yard, Chiang Kai-shek was already in jail.

Seeing Mrs. Jiang's mother-in-law leaving in a panic, Daohua calmly took a sip of white fungus soup.

The Jiang family has its eyes on the Yan family. The military rations were lost and could not be moved to the Yan family. They will definitely look for another opportunity next time, and their methods will be even more fierce.

She couldn't guarantee that there would be a solution every time, so she could only strike first and bring down Chiang Kai-shek.

According to the news she got from Xiao Yeyang, Master and others, the emperor did not have a good impression of the Jiang family. She believed that the emperor would make good use of the opportunity she created this time.

Daohua's eyes fell on Mrs. Yuan and her daughter who looked equally panicked.

She doesn't know what the actual relationship between the Yuan family and the Jiang family is, but last time they teamed up to deal with the Yan family, so this time, let them completely confront each other, so as not to always focus on the Yan family.Chapter completed!
