Aunt Lan told Zhuge Yi and Li Haitang everything she knew about Mrs.
Li Chu and Li Yunnan, and the two stayed in Qin's Zhuangzi until midnight before leaving, accompanied by the Mo brothers.Along the way, the carriage smoothly returned to the moat outside the town of Ciyu, and I saw three or four carriages waiting for the city gate to open from a distance.The flag fluttered on a carriage headed by a tiger, and the tiger head on the flag was fierce, and a big red "Chu" character in the tiger's mouth showed its master clan.Mo Shenghuan lifted the curtain, and said with a ruffian: "The Chu family is the Chu family, and now it is not to be underestimated if it is not as prosperous as it was back then, if it is really a thin camel that is bigger than a horse, who dares to compete with it?"
”"Second Brother Huan, don't be sour, our Mo family is also a big clan that dominates the party.How can you extinguish your own prestige and grow the morale of others?
”Mo Shenghong looked at the carriage in the first place, his eyes full of disdain.Mo Shenghuan put down the curtain and sighed with a smile: "You have been in the gambling house all day long, how do you know the roots of the Chu family?"
They have been entrenched in Yanxia Town for a whole hundred years, from nothing to today's wealth across the three towns, and they are the emperor's own merchants.Not to mention our Mo family, even if we gather the eight major clans and the Yuan family, we can't match half of the wealth of the Chu family. ”"What's so great about the Imperial Merchant?
Back then, the ancestors rejected the emperor's recruitment, if they should go down, what would be the matter with the Chu family?
”Mo Shenghong retorted sarcastically, revealing his disdain for the Chu family.Mo Shenghuan stopped arguing with him, smiled, and began to tease his birds.Li Haitang leaned crookedly in Zhuge Yi's arms and pretended to sleep, but in fact, he listened to the arguments of the Mo family brothers very well.I was greatly surprised that the Chu family had such a huge wealth, which was comparable to the wealth of an emperor of a country."
Uncle Zi, you and Sister Haitang came out quietly, and now you are swaggering back for fear that you will be monitored by more spies.Did you do it on purpose, or was it careless?
”Mo Shenghuan put down the bird food and put the cloak placed next to the little girl's body.Zhuge Yi lowered his head and stared at the little girl who was snuggling up to him, and said in a very soft voice: "Since she wants to protect Mrs.
Li, how can I let her plan fail." ”"Uncle Zi means ......"
Before Mo Shenghuan finished speaking, he heard a commotion at the city gate in front of him, and the squeaking of the city gate was long and long."
Let's go back first."
Zhuge Yi adjusted the little girl's comfortable sleeping position, observed the streets and crowds outside the window through the green gauze curtains, and estimated the time.The horse-drawn carriage swaggered past the bustling street market on the east side of the porcelain river and stopped outside the door of a restaurant.Mo Shenghuan was the first to get out of the car, and said loudly to the shopkeeper who greeted him: "Little Er, go and prepare a portion of your signature dishes, as well as your daughter's favorite sweets." ”The shopkeeper smiled respectfully and said, "Master, why did you come so early today?"
You see, we've just opened the door, and the back kitchen is getting ready. ”"What?
Haven't eaten?
Then let's go to the restaurant across the street. ”Mo Shenghuan looked coldly at the shopkeeper who was laughing, and was about to turn around and leave."
Don't!
The master forgives the sin, the villain slaps his mouth!
”The clever shopkeeper immediately stopped in front of Mo Shenghuan, and he was willing to beg and slapped his mouth to apologize, and when he saw Mo Shenghuan's happy face, he stepped forward with a smile, "Don't worry, no one's food will dare to miss the time of your meal, the villain immediately went to the back kitchen to let them do it, to ensure that the master eats well." ”"What's the?
Just go!
”Mo Shenghuan kicked the second shopkeeper's ass and swaggered into the restaurant.At this time, Zhuge Yi, Li Haitang and Mo Shenghong were already sitting in the private room on the second floor, so they opened the window to let the spies from various prefectures hiding in the shadows observe clearly.Li Haitang sat at the window, looking down at the bustling market, and asked curiously: "What day is it, there are so many people on the street." ”Mo Shenghuan, who came in, stood behind her and pointed to an alley on the other side of the porcelain river, "Look there."
That shop is the rouge shop of the Chu family, and the rouge will be sold at half price on the tenth day of every month, so the little daughters-in-law and big girls in Ciyu Town will buy some. ”"I see."
Li Haitang looked back at Zhuge Yi, "Master, after breakfast in a while, you can also accompany me to buy a few boxes of rouge." ”Zhuge Yi shook his head and pointed at Mo Shenghuan, "Let him accompany you, I don't know much about the things used by women." ”"Okay."
Li Haitang is not reluctant, as long as someone is willing to accompany her.Walked back to Zhuge Yi and sat down, holding the tea bowl he handed over and taking a sip, thinking when he would be able to eat?
At the right time, two plainly dressed women passed by the alley next to the restaurant with small baskets, and happened to be under the window of the private room.The open window could clearly hear the chatter of the two women, and the young men and women in the private room sighed in unison."
Sister-in-law, have you heard?
Our patriarch's wife poisoned the patriarch's wife, and two days ago there was a rumor in the town.Now it has spread to everyone in the village outside, even the little dolls in our village know about it. ”The young woman asked the woman with a pretended surprise on her face.The older woman sighed lightly and said, "I heard the eldest daughter-in-law say yesterday that the patriarch's wife was ruthless in buying the eldest lady of the first lady, Alain, in order to marry a husband.Not only did he poison the first lady, but even the young Nanda girl was poisoned to death. ”The young woman was indignant and said, "Ouch, I really know people and faces, how can she be so vicious in her girl's family?"
”The older woman sneered, "Of course it's for the sake of power and wealth."
What about marrying the patriarch as a step-family, who won't respectfully call 'Mrs.
Patriarch' when they see it?
You can't wear all the silk and satin, and you can't enjoy the delicious food, so don't you want to?
”"Hey, hey, sister-in-law, look how embarrassing you are.I don't dare to think about the patriarch's wife, as long as my father-in-law earns back ten taels of silver a year, I will even dream of laughing. ”The older woman glanced at the young woman with shame, pushed her forward, and scolded with a smile, "Look at you."
Let's go, let's go, there are a lot of people in the Chu family's rouge shop in front, let's go quickly, lest the good rouge be robbed by others. ”"Good.I'm fast, you help me hold the basket. ”Li Haitang put down the tea bowl and walked to the window to look at the two women who were hurrying away.Mo Huanhong sighed: "Rumors are fiercer than tigers, I hope Mrs.
Li will not be forced to be forced by rumors." ”"Even if there are no rumors, isn't Madame Li not charged with murdering Madame Lichu?
It's just that no one has the evidence to dare to do anything to Mrs.
Li. ”Li Haitang glared angrily, came back and sat down next to Zhuge Yi, and said hatefully: "Mrs.
Li has suffered many years of slander, it's time to prove her innocence."
I must help her clear her name and help Brother Shen catch the real murderers of his mother and sister. ”"Thank you Sister Begonia for your help!"
The door was pushed open, Li Junshen appeared, and the young man behind him made Zhuge Yi's eyes glaze and asked unhappily, "What are you doing in Ciyu Town?"
