Chapter 159 Talking (1)

Yu Xi put the account book in her hand on the table, looked at Mr. Xia, and said, "If my guess is correct, the marshal should have planned this long ago, but something happened before it was too late to implement it, right?" Yu Xi It is guessed that Marshal Qin just regarded the Xu family as a fat sheep raised, and once the army needed money urgently, he slaughtered the fat sheep to fill the gap. This can be seen from the fact that Mr. Xia can get such a confidential account book.

Mr. Xia did not deny it, and said: "Yes, the Marshal has such a plan. It's just that no one expected that the Marshal would have an accident because of saving the Major General." It's okay to live for ten or twenty years.

People like Marshal Qin, if you don't admire him, you won't even succeed. Yuxi asked: "Did Mr. Xia tell Qin Zhao about this?"

Mr. Xia shook his head and said, "No. The Major General is too deep to get out. If I tell him, he will only help the Xu family silence me."

This is very deep, and many meanings can be derived from it. But Yu Xi didn't ask any further, because she knew that even if she asked, Mr. Xia wouldn't tell her.

Yuxi asked a question that she thought was very strange: "Why did you tell the general about this?"

Mr. Xia said: "Because Yunqing is the successor chosen by the marshal, what the marshal hasn't finished should be handed over to him." In addition, he didn't say anything else, watching Yu Xi busy with those orphans, He was also very touched. He felt that with Yunqing and Yuxi around, Yucheng would definitely be better than before.

Yuxi asked Mr. Xia a question: "The general has been worried that you will leave. I want to ask you, will you leave Yucheng and go back to the provincial capital?"

Mr. Xia shook his head and said, "No, at least not for the time being." Looking at Yunqing, it was like seeing a young marshal. Moreover, Yucheng was the place where he had lived for nearly thirty years, and he was reluctant to leave.

Yuxi smiled and said: "That's good. You can't miss the general! I'm still thinking these days, if the husband insists on leaving, how should I keep you!"

Mr. Xia was also very happy when he heard this. Everyone hopes that he is an important person, not an insignificant person: "Ma'am, I don't know if I should say something or not."

Yuxi smiled, and said: "What should I say or not, just say it if you have something to say!" Mr. Xia's ability to take the initiative to tell him this proves that he is really not ready to leave.

Mr. Xia said: "The officials of the court are in a terrible state, and the government is also controlled by the Song family and the Yu family. The Yu family reached an agreement with the general before, just to drag Qin Zhao down and let the prince and the Song family have less help. I am really willing to help the general. Otherwise, the Ministry of Household Affairs would not be able to push back and refuse to give money. If you want to keep Yucheng and not be controlled by others, you have to find another way out.” Mr. Xia does not believe that the Ministry of Household Affairs really has no money, but It was Yu Xiang who didn't want to give it, and deliberately stuck it.

After hearing this, Yuxi's heart moved, and she asked: "Does sir have any ideas?" Yuxi naturally didn't want to be controlled by others, but it was not so easy to raise so much money.

Mr. Xia does have an idea, and the idea is very simple, that is to continue to do business with the Beiyao people: "In addition to grain and grass, other daily necessities such as salt and cloth can be sold to the customs to make a difference." After a year of this business , is also a lot of money.

Yu Xi's heart choked, and after a long silence, she said: "If you can talk to the general, this business can indeed be done." Yu Xi is unwilling to discuss such a matter with Yun Qing. There are some things that can be persuaded, but there are some things that must not be interfered with.

Mr. Xia said this in the hope that Yuxi would come forward to persuade Yunqing, but unexpectedly Yuxi kicked the ball to him again. Now, it's really a dilemma!

Yuxi immediately changed the subject and said: "Tomorrow night, I will take people to Xinping City." This matter should be resolved as soon as possible.

The sooner you get the money, the earlier you can buy a house for the winter. It's already September now, and the weather will be cold in two months.

Mr. Xia nodded and said: "Then the general will leave the day after tomorrow night." When Yun Qing led his troops to Xinping City, it was time to copy Xu's house.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "Xinping City is the territory of the Xu family. I'm worried that they will notice it in two days. It's better to let the general set out at midnight tomorrow night. I have made it clear to the prefect of Tan here, and the general will take Someone went to copy the Xu family." Actually, Tan Zhifu didn't want to do anything, but I hoped that when Yunqing copied the Xu family, he wouldn't bring the yamen to stop him. Otherwise, if the two groups fight among themselves, the Xu family will take advantage of it, which is not good.

Of course, fortunately, the magistrate is his own family. If the magistrate hadn't changed, he definitely wouldn't sit back and watch Yunqing copy Xu's family. It's not just that Yunqing doesn't have the authority to search the house, even if he has the Xu family's evidence of treason, on the other hand, the Xu family is very rich, and whoever ransacks the house will fall into the hands of the person.

Mr. Xia asked: "Madam, is your body able to take it?"

Yuxi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely arrive at Xinping City before the general." Yuxi has already made plans, this time to go to Xinping City, she will bring Master Yang and Zijin. Yu Zhi stayed in the villa to protect Zao Zao.

After talking, Mr. Xia left.

Mother Lan knew that Yuxi was going to Xinping City, and murmured: "Madam is really cruel, never thought that the child will cry if he doesn't see you?" Who would leave the child alone for seven or eight days. Not only is it unqualified to be a father, but it is also unqualified to be a mother. This means that the old lady is gone. If the old lady is here, she will definitely scold her until the dog is bleeding.

When other people went to Tan Zhifu, Tan Zhifu would not agree to it out of ten, and it was most appropriate for her to come forward. However, I am sorry for the child. Yuxi said a little awkwardly, "It's not that the matter is too urgent, there is no other way!" The food and grass bought from Wu's family only paid half of the price, and in addition, I ordered quilts and cotton-padded clothes with Yunqing and Wu Kuo Pants, and only pay a 20% deposit. It would be embarrassing if there was no money to pay for things when they arrived.

Mother Lan sighed, and said, "I will take care of the child. Madam, you should also be careful on the road." If you marry someone who leads soldiers and fights, you don't want to have a stable life. No wonder the old lady is worried day and night! Now the old lady's worry has not been verified.

Yu Xi said: "I'll come back when the matter is finished." Because she got the news early, Yu Xi had already found a woman who had just given birth from Zhuangzi, and asked her to help feed Zao Zao for a few days. I just don't know if this girl will cry or not.

After everyone fell asleep, Yuxi left Yucheng with Zijin and Master Yang. For fear of being discovered, the carriages and horses were kept outside Zhuangzi.

A man in bunt clothes has been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Yuxi, he said, "Madam, please get in the carriage." Clothes, dry food and other things were all put in the carriage.

When I got into the carriage, I found that there were tea, snacks and a thin quilt in the carriage, and everything was quite well prepared. Yuxi slept in the carriage all night, and when she got up early the next day, her back was sore and she felt very uncomfortable. Yuxi said to Zijin: "Last year, I drove from Beijing to Yucheng for several months, and I wasn't as tired as I am now."

After hearing this, Master Yang said: "Your current body can't compare with last year." A woman's body will be much worse after giving birth.

Zijin didn't believe what Master Yang said, and said, "Madam Ji, it's been a long time since I took such a long carriage, and the speed of the carriage is too fast, so it's uncomfortable."

Yuxi shook her head and said, "Isn't the speed of the carriage fast at night?" It's also September, and there is a moon at night, and the coachman is very familiar with this road, otherwise he wouldn't dare to drive at night.

Zijin said, "How about slowing down later."

Yuxi shook her head and said, "We can't slow down anymore. The generals will set off tonight. They are all riding horses, and their speed is much faster than ours. If we want to arrive earlier than them, we can't slow down."

After taking a break, we continued on our way. In order to take care of Yuxi, the groom is not fast. On the contrary, it was Yu Xi who asked him to speed up, but the speed was too fast, and he almost knocked out all the things he ate in the morning. In order to save time, Yu Xi had to change into a man's outfit and ride the same horse as Zi Jin.

Yuxi felt uncomfortable on the way, and so did Mother Lan and Mother Xi. In the middle of the night, Zao Zao woke up hungry and ate milk, but found out that she had changed, and began to refuse to eat, so she howled and cried. Most of the people in Zhuangzi probably heard that loud voice. I cried in the middle of the night, until I had no strength to cry, I was hungry, and I couldn’t fall asleep when I wanted to sleep. Lying in the swaddle, twitching, indescribably pitiful.

Until dawn, Mother Lan said: "Call the niece over here, the girl should be able to eat now." I was hungry all night, so I probably won't pick any more.

As Lan's mother expected, she didn't pick any more jujubes, but she ate very little, not even half of the usual amount.

Seeing this, Mother Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Although she ate less, she still ate: "It's too small. If it's bigger, I can prepare some minced meat for you."

After eating, Zao Zao fell asleep.

Mother Xi couldn't help but said: "Madam is so ruthless that she just left the child behind." No matter how important things are, they can be more important than children!

Mother Lan looked unhappy, and said: "If the old lady heard such words in the mansion, it would be no good for you." No matter how good the lady is, she can't complain in front of the children. This is suspected of provoking the relationship between mother and child.

Mother Xi also felt sorry for her child, so she said this casually. Immediately said with a pale face: "I will never do it again."

Mother Lan said: "We must be careful in the future, and there must be no next time." She muttered to Yu Xi yesterday, but she was actually expressing her dissatisfaction. But this kind of dissatisfaction can be expressed in front of the wife, but not to the children. It's okay for children who are young and don't understand, but if they are older, if they often hear these words, they will think that the wife, the mother, doesn't love her or love her! At that time, it will definitely cause the alienation of mother and daughter.

Mother Xi nodded hurriedly and said, "Mother Lan, don't worry, there will be no next time."
