Until they left Zhang's house, Bai Yunxi sat on the carriage and touched the small bag containing money. Since adding milk tea drinks, it has opened the door to the taste of young girls, and the sales volume is no worse than that of ice bowls.
Because milk and tea were added to it, the price was set high, and no one had any objections.
After doing what she should do, Baiyunxi did not let Wenyou go to Xie's house for a walk in the following days. However, he heard that the old lady had been restless recently and wanted to stay in the temple for a while to pray for the Buddha's blessing.
As for whether she is praying for herself or her grandson, only she knows.
But one thing is certain, the old lady is not in the house, and no matter how stupid Ma is, she will never have the chance to alienate the relationship between her ancestors and her grandchildren.
As time went by, some rumors gradually emerged on the street, saying that the eldest son of the Xie family was about to take part in the autumn examination, but something happened at this juncture, and he must have been retaliated by someone.
As soon as this rumor came out, everyone suddenly remembered that Xie Dalangjun was a well-known talent in the county. He was supposed to shine in the last autumn examination, but something unexpected happened just before the examination and he missed the opportunity.
Unexpectedly, three years later, the same thing happened again. It was such a coincidence and no one believed it if it was not man-made.
Who is most afraid of Xie Dalangjun taking the lead?
If he passes the exam, who will have the greatest impact?
As soon as this question came up, there was a lot of speculation.
Some good people directly pushed the Ma family and her son to the forefront of the storm, and the more they inferred, the more reasonable they became.
Xie Li, the second son of the Xie family, still thinks that he doesn't even have a childish voice. He is obviously the son of the Xie family, but his talents are very different. Where is the root cause, you can't go wrong by thinking with your toes.
Xie Dalangjun is the son of his first wife. He is of noble character and excellent in both conduct and learning. He is also the future head of the family.
Unless someone doesn't want him to take over the Xie family smoothly, they will stop Xie Yu's steps again and again. It is said that once the emperor and the courtier, the Dalang Lord becomes the head of the family, who is the most disadvantageous, that is obvious to all.
If they are siblings from the same mother, and the eldest brother is like father, even if the eldest son inherits the family, he will take care of his biological brothers. But if they are separated by one layer, it is hard to say.
If the relationship between brothers is not good, the elder brother will not be able to find fault without taking care of him.
At present, the gap between the two brothers is too big. If word spreads, they will eventually be laughed at. If they are angry and waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, it is really hard to say.
The children of the stepmother and the children of the first wife have interests involved when the family is separated, and they cannot live in harmony. It is not surprising that they secretly fight to the death.
As the rumors intensified, Magistrate Xie finally could no longer sit still. With a wave of his hand, he increased the number of patrols by the government officials. Anyone who spoke falsely would be whipped twenty times and fined five hundred dollars.
As soon as this order came out, the people in the county immediately shut up. But privately, they regarded these speculations as facts, otherwise the county magistrate would not have been angry and personally ordered people to shut up.
Although Bai Yunxi doesn't go out much, the Du family and others are in the shop every day, and the news they hear is always the freshest.
Every day she brings back some different rumors.
"Mom, do you think brothers from rich families all fight like this? That sounds weird."
She knew how badly Xie Yu was injured, especially his taciturn follower who actually died to protect his master. When she first heard the news, she was stunned. Who could be so cruel and dare to directly
Want a life?
After such a long time, she had heard a lot and no longer wanted to be scared at first, but she still couldn't believe it.
Oh my God, even though we don’t have the same mother, we have the same father. How can we do this?
Seeing Du Shi's disbelieving eyes, Bai Yunxi twitched the corner of his mouth,
"Although they are all rumors, there is no smoke without fire. As for the final outcome, it depends on how the government decides. We just let it go in one ear and out the other, and don't interrupt."
"My mother said yes. The customers queuing up in the store were whispering to each other for fear of being grabbed by their pigtails."
Du Shi nodded, just hearing it was scary enough, she didn't dare to arrange it at will.
After another seven or eight days of this, Baiyunxi suddenly heard the news that the thief who ambushed Xie Yu had been caught and had been thrown into prison, and a trial date would be held.
At the same time, Zhang Yiren also came to visit her, "I knew you were at home, so I came here without saying hello in advance."
"My door is open to Sister Yiren at any time, and it's not too late to welcome her."
Baiyunxi invited people to sit down in the courtyard. Wenyou poured tea for the two of them and then automatically sat on the small bench next to her to pick vegetables.
Zhang Yiren looked at her with surprise and envy in his eyes. Yunxi was really lucky to have such a powerful helper.
What she envied the most was that Wenyou was not only cold-tempered, but also very considerate in her work. She was also content with the status quo and could not find a neat person even with a lantern.
"Hey, the comparison between people is so annoying. I really want to hire Wenyou to help me train a few girls with flexible hands. Unfortunately, I also know that this will not happen overnight, but every time I see Wenyou, I can't help but feel sour.
"
Hearing Zhang Yiren's unabashed envy made Bai Yunxi giggle.
"I'm really not humble about this. My Wenyou is really awesome."
"Just squeak."
Zhang Yiren glared at her and coughed slightly,
"The thief who ambushed Brother Yu was caught. Did you hear that?"
"Well, I just heard about it, I don't know if it's true or not."
Bai Yunxi raised her eyebrows. She already knew the mastermind behind the scenes. Now that Magistrate Xie has announced that he has been arrested, he doesn't know what he wants to do?
"The people are real, they have all been recruited... I heard that they were beaten so bloody that they can't even recognize them."
Zhang Yiren covered her mouth with a handkerchief and frowned in disgust.
"Those people insisted that no one had instigated it, and that they had a unilateral grudge against Xie Yu. One of them was a roughneck in Xie Yu's courtyard, and the other was once the head of the village. They said that Xie Yu wanted to kill them all, and he had some intentions.
Unwilling to give in, I will urge you to take revenge."
Baiyunxi: "..."
No wonder it was so clear, it turned out to be a thief.
"The strange thing is that those people who were in front of them had just drawn a pledge, and then Xie Yu rushed over and they couldn't speak anymore. They said they were poisoned and their voices were muted."
Zhang Yiren came closer to Baiyun River and spoke in a low voice,
"The cell leader who was close to Xie Yu revealed that Xie Li had been there half an hour ago."
Bai Yunxi twitched the corner of her mouth, and both of them had understanding in their eyes.
After seeing Zhang Yiren off, Bai Yunxi shook her head speechlessly. Seeing that the rent was about to expire, it was time for her to pack up and go home.
Just the day before departure, another big news broke in the Xie Mansion.
The mistress of the Xie family was having a tryst with someone and was bumped into by Magistrate Xie. After being caught and tortured, she found out that the person was Ma's former childhood sweetheart.
Before Mr. Ma entered the Xie family, they had an agreement to grow old together.
I heard that Magistrate Xie vomited a mouthful of old blood on the spot and had the person thrown into jail.
Ma refused to admit it and tried every possible means to prove her innocence. Just when she hit a pillar, news came from the prison that the bamboo horse had also been poisoned and his voice had been muted.
