170 why
"Grandma, Mr. Mei is back."
Qingqing's cheerful voice came from a distance.
In the room, Zi Su, who was standing by the window and looking at Xue sadly, suddenly heard Qing Qing's shout. He was stunned on the spot for a moment. When he came to his senses, he immediately lifted up his skirt and rushed out quickly.
Mei Shengyu was wearing a black fur-lined coat and a black cloak. At the moment, the black cloak was sparsely stained with a lot of snowflakes. Some of them melted into water over time and seeped into the clothes, while others were layered on top.
They were piled on top of each other, accumulating into a thick layer. As he raised his hands and feet, it fell to the ground.
"gentlemen."
Zisu would never have thought that Mei Shengyu would come back at this time. After so many years of getting along with each other, Mei Shengyu is no longer just a collaborator for her, but more often a teacher and a teacher.
Friend and father! A few feet away, she paused, raised her face slightly, and wanted to smile at Mei Shengyu, who was coming after a long journey. She didn't want to and raised the corner of her mouth, but her eyes became hot, and tears burst out of her eyes involuntarily.
Looking at the tall figure standing on the edge of the steps about ten feet away, Mei Shengyu let out a long sigh. When he saw the tears suddenly rolling down her cheeks, Mei Shengyu suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The snowflakes got into his clothes and made his heart feel cold. After the cold, there was a slight pain.
"Why are you crying, but not happy to see me?"
Zisu was teased by Mei Shengyu, and she couldn't help but laugh again with a "chuff" sound. This smile relieved the helplessness and panic in her heart. At that moment, she fell from the sky again, with a high
A top-notch pottery perilla.
"Didn't you say that you might not be able to come back until after the new year?" Zisu stepped forward to welcome him, "Why, you came back so many days early."
Mei Shengyu laughed, and was accompanied by Zi Su into the flower hall. While taking off his big cloak, he sat down next to the burning brazier and heated his hands on the brazier. Then he said to Zi Su: "This
It's not your husband's fault."
"Yanzhu?!" Zisu looked at Mei Shengyu in confusion, "What's wrong with him?"
Qingqing walked in holding a tray with red paint and begonia flowers, placed the steaming tea cup on the small table next to Mei Shengyu, then stood obediently behind Zisu, and also looked at Mei Sheng curiously.
Yu.
Mei Shengyu took the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He felt a hot breath sliding down his throat, instantly warming his whole body. He sighed with satisfaction and said as if to himself: "Hey
, it feels better to feel at home!" After saying this, he seemed to be stunned by his own words, and he couldn't help but smile to himself.
However, Zisu didn't pay attention to the inappropriateness in his words. She just moved forward, sat down next to him, and said urgently: "Sir, please tell me quickly, what happened to Yanzhu?"
Mei Shengyu put down the tea cup in his hand and said to Zi Su: "Qiu Yanzhu wrote a letter to the head of the Xiao family, saying that the Xiao family must prevent the daughter of the Chen family from being selected in the draft next spring. What if?
If it works, he is willing to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan!"
"This...when did this happen?" Zisu looked at Mei Shengyu in surprise. Qiu Yanzhu had always been quite resistant to acknowledging his ancestors and returning to the Xiao family. Suddenly...she looked at Mei Shengyu.
, thought for a while and said: "Sir, after receiving the letter, he rushed back from the capital immediately?"
Mei Shengyu nodded, "The eldest son of the Xiao family doesn't know how Yanzhu and the Chen family came to be against each other. He couldn't understand it for a while. It just so happens that my affairs are almost done."
"Thanks to that boy He Yu this time, with his help, I met his father-in-law, and with the help of Mr. Chang Shi, I asked to meet the princess and offered our wine."
"Xiao Heyu, is he okay?" Zisu smiled at Mei Shengyu and said, "Is he still that arrogant?"
"It's pretty good." Mei Shengyu smiled and said, "I've become a lot more mature and steady."
That’s good!
Zisu nodded, she would feel better if he lived well!
Mei Shengyu didn't seem to see Zi Su's relieved look, lowered his eyelids, turned his hands back and forth on the brazier, rubbed them from time to time, and said softly: "Xiao Heyu came in with the help of Mr. Chang Shi."
Qianniuwei, appointed as an officer, officer, officer, and a member of the eighth rank."
"I have become an official!" Zisu stared at Mei Shengyu with his eyes wide open and said, "It's hard to believe that a person with such a childish temper can actually..."
Her words were very emotional, and she made no secret of the fact that Xiao Heyu was still a child in her eyes.
Mei Shengyu looked at it and laughed: "He is a child, aren't you a child? You can make money to support your family at the age of eight, but he is several years older than you!"
Zisu couldn't help but smile after hearing this.
Can that be the same? At least, his mental age is mature enough!
Suddenly he remembered the letter he had just asked Qingqing to send. If Xiao Heyu became an official, it would be easier to overthrow the Chen family, right? I don't know what kind of official position the Qianniu Guards official had when he joined the army!
"I also wrote him a letter a few days ago." Zisu said to Mei Shengyu, "It's also related to the Chen family."
Mei Shengyu couldn't help but frown and said to Zi Su: "Wuwei Chen family?"
"Yes." Zi Su nodded, "Now it is not just Chen Jixiu's matter, the Chen family and I are in a fight to the death."
Mei Shengyu took a deep breath and didn't react for a while.
How long had he been gone and how could he have gotten to this point?
Zisu didn't intend to hide it from him, so she explained the matter simply and clearly. Finally, she looked at Mei Shengyu and said, "I want to find Zhao Xiucai's father and ask him to go to Beijing to accuse the fifth son of the Chen family of killing his husband and taking his wife."
Things, maybe this can bring down the Chen family in one fell swoop!"
Mei Shengyu nodded.
He quite agrees with Zi Su's idea.
Although it is said that businessmen make money by being friendly, but if they really get involved, they will definitely have to eradicate the roots so that he has no room to fight back.
"Your idea is a good one. Xiao Heyu may not be able to say anything, but his father-in-law is the head of the palace of the princess. He was personally appointed by the emperor. If he can be made to come forward, we are 70% sure of the matter!"
Zisu nodded and expressed his doubts, "It's just that it may be difficult to find Zhao Xiucai's father for a while." After a pause, he said softly: "There has been no news from Ansu either.
I don’t know what happened to my third brother!”
"Don't be anxious, Yanzhu has just gone, please wait patiently." Mei Shengyu thought for a while and said to Zisu: "Let me take the lead in Wuwei County. I will go inquire and find the father of Zhao Xiucai.
, what do you think, you should just stay at home and wait for the news?"
"This..." Zisu looked at Mei Shengyu embarrassedly and said softly: "Sir, I really don't know how to thank you for your help."
"Fool!" Mei Shengyu looked at Zi Su and said with a smile: "Is it just cooperation between us? If it were you, Uncle Mei, and I were in trouble today, would you just watch and not help?"
Before Zi Su could speak, Mei Shengyu said, "I heard from Qing Qing that you arranged for Mr. Lang to go out?"
"Well, I was afraid that my home would be unsafe and my husband would be harmed, so I sent him to stay in an inn. Would you like to see him?"
Mei Shengyu nodded, "Since I'm back, I always want to see you. Let's do it this way. I'll go see him tonight and leave from the inn to Ansu tomorrow."
"It's better to take a rest, this long journey..."
Mei Shengyu waved his hand, "The situation is urgent, it is important to resolve the matter first."
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Zi Su stopped insisting and ordered Qing Qing to boil hot water in the kitchen, cook a few exquisite side dishes and bring them to him. He then warmed up a pot of wolfberry wine and sent it to Mei Shengyu's house.
.
The other side.
After hearing what Shi Wang said, Qiu Yanzhu immediately changed his expression and said: "No way, my brother-in-law would never do such dirty pickling things. There must be some misunderstanding between them!"
Shi Wang did not argue with him, but said coldly: "You said it was a misunderstanding, but let me ask you, who else was beside my little sister at that time, besides your brother-in-law?"
Qiu Yanzhu was stunned by his question.
If it is according to what Shi Wang said, Tao Zhiyuan was sending Miss Shi to the Shi family. Seeing the wealth of the Shi family, Tao Zhiyuan became greedy and suddenly attacked Miss Shi, intending to cause an established fact and smear Miss Shi's name.
, accomplished good things, and became the son-in-law of the Shi family in one fell swoop. If it were anyone else, Qiu Yanzhu might still believe it, but if it were Tao Zhiyuan, that would never be possible.
"Brother Shi!" Qiu Yanzhu pondered for a while and said softly: "You may not know much about the situation at my brother-in-law's family. I think it is necessary for me to let you know one or two things so that you can judge the true nature of the matter."
Shi Wang raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiu Yanzhu, neither interrupting him nor encouraging him. He put on an attitude that you may speak, but whether you listen or not, whether you believe it or not, is not up to you.
Qiu Yanzhu also disagreed. After sipping his tea, he slowly said, "Brother Shi, can you drink?"
Shi Wang was startled at first, as if he didn't expect Qiu Yanzhu to suddenly ask such a question. I want to ask people in the world, who doesn't like to eat a lot of meat and drink a lot of wine. At that moment, he nodded disdainfully as an answer.
Qiu Yanzhu smiled faintly, and then asked: "Brother Shi, have you ever drunk a kind of wine called Menglixiang?"
"Fragrant in dreams!?" Shi Wang looked at Qiu Yanzhu, nodded and said: "Although the wine is expensive and it is difficult for ordinary people to drink one or two cups, I, the Shi family, can still drink it."
"Brother Shi, do you think this wine is expensive?" Without waiting for Shi Wang's reply, Qiu Yanzhu added, "Then the person selling this wine must have made a lot of money, right?"
"That's natural!" Shi Wang said loudly: "You know that ordinary wine is only a few coppers per bowl, but this wine is only one tael of silver per jar! One jar is only twenty-five kilograms, and it is enough for one meal.
, it’s gone.”
"Brother Shi is dissatisfied, my brother-in-law is the owner of this Menglixiang!"
"..."
Seeing Shi Wang staring at him without saying a word, Qiu Yanzhu nodded and said with certainty: "You heard me right, this dream incense is brewed by my wife and sold by my brother-in-law. He is a real boss!"
With this understanding, it would be unreasonable for Shi Wang to say that Tao Zhiyuan was motivated by wealth.
Imagine that the Tao family already has an elder brother who is in a high position and a sister who can make money. Tao Zhiyuan is still the owner of "Dream Fragrance" at a young age. How can he like the wealth of your Shi family?
"Why?" Shi Wang looked at Qiu Yanzhu, and after a while, he said in confusion: "Why?"
Why?
This why, of course, refers to why Tao Zhiyuan did what he did.
