Chapter 636: Silence Equals Default

Deng Xiucai said, "Say it."

Zhulan took out the banknotes she had prepared and handed them to Deng Xiucai, "I need to buy some good shops, and I also need your help to find out if there are any villages or fields for sale near the capital."

Deng Xiucai thought it was a trivial matter, and now he is still doing the work he used to do, and he is very familiar with these shops and fields, "I will definitely take care of it for you."

Zhulan was relieved of Deng Xiucai's work, "It's getting late, why don't we stay for a meal together?"

Deng Xiucai wanted to stay, but there were still matters at home that needed to be resolved, and he also had some headaches, "I still need to go home and deal with things."

Zhulan smiled, "Then wait for the next time."

Deng Xiucai was thinking about his family, so he left.

Zhulan watched Deng Xiucai leave, Changlian said: "Mother, do you want to ask what happened to Deng Xiucai's house?"

Zhulan didn't want to ask questions at first, but Deng Xiu is Zhou Shuren's capable assistant. If there are uncertain factors, it is better to resolve them earlier, lest a small matter become a big one, "Let Shen Xing go."

Shen Xing seldom follows Zhou Shuren. Relatively speaking, it is more convenient for Shen Xing to act, and the recognition of careful words is a bit high.

Shen Xing came back soon, and Zhulan was having a meal. This noon, Zhulan and Changlian ate together.

Chang Lian asked, "You came back too soon."

Shen Xing said: "It is easy to inquire about the affairs of Deng Xiucai's family, and it is not a big deal. When Deng Xiucai's daughter returned home, Miss Deng Li's mother told her about a marriage. Deng Xiucai disagreed, and then there was a quarrel. Now the issue of money has not been resolved.”

Zhulan asked, "But did you really talk about marriage? Didn't you deliberately set up Deng Xiucai?"

Shen Xing replied, "I asked about it, and I did tell about the marriage. The house of the eighth-rank military officer is guarded in the capital. It is said that the man is the boss of Ms. Deng's stepfather's son."

Zhulan understood, the little girl should have noticed it last year, coupled with her ambition, she had a scene from last year, she was really clever, "How is the family situation of the military officer's family?"

Shen Xing said: "Bapin's salary is not much, the family lives in a small courtyard."

Zhulan didn't ask any more questions. With such a family background, Deng Xiucai couldn't afford to eat now. Deng Xiucai returned to his old job and had a lot of money in his hand. "You should go down to eat too."

Shen Xing is indeed hungry. Ever since he came to Zhou's house, he has developed the habit of eating three meals a day. The servants of Zhou's mansion are still enviable. Although there is no reward money from each house to fight for money, life is stable Nothing to worry about, a peaceful back house means no human life or calculations, but it's a pity that Zhou's mansion never buys people easily.

Changlian asked, "Mother, do I need to take care of it?"

Zhulan pondered, she and Zhou Shuren still had some perspectives on the sidelines, so the two of them saw more, and the situation was wider, and because of this, the two of them were also more cautious, sometimes knowing too much It's not good, but I don't know it's more dangerous, life is really hard.

Zhu Lan, "Find someone to investigate this general, and finally get married. That's Deng Xiucai's own business. Even if we all know that Deng Xiucai is with the Zhou family, the Zhou family can't do anything."

Chang Lian hummed and looked at the little brother who was eating with his head down. This little guy is in good health. He caught a cold yesterday, which frightened him. This is my father's lifeblood. Fortunately, he will be fine overnight, "Eat more. "

As he said that, he picked up the fish balls that my younger brother loves to eat for him.

Chang Zhong shouted sweetly, "Thank you, third brother."

Rong Chuan wanted to open his mouth and then closed it. The little guy Changzhong spoke surprisingly, he had better shut up.

Zhulan's family was happy and happy, and those who received the recovery post had all kinds of guesses, but because the grandmothers of the Zhou family had all come to the capital, those who had doubts also believed that Mr. Zhou was sick.

As for asking the doctor,

They don't even ask, pretending to be sick, as long as there is someone who understands, it is easy to get away with it.

As for the inn, Shen Yang threw down the post in his hand angrily, and cursed, "Since you are sick, then get well and miss the exam time."

The young man picked up the post that had been left on the ground, and said respectfully: "My lord, you shouldn't worry about this anymore. The exam is about to take place, so you should read more."

Shen Yang was silent, he didn't know what happened recently, his heart was always uneasy, he didn't read much in the book, he slapped his face, he really should study hard, he didn't need to be careful, he also inquired a lot of news, Not to mention far away, there are many talented people from Jiangnan who live in the nearby inn.

The boy was relieved to see that the young master was studying, the master can say that he wants to take good care of the young master, the young master is the hope of the Shen family.

At the fifth prince's mansion, Zhang Jinghong tried his luck a few times, with a smirk on his face, "What kind of wind did you three brothers bring you here?"

Ever since he knew that he was a fake, he had been hiding from his older brothers. He was really afraid that he would be killed if his older brothers were in a hurry, and it would not be a big crime.

The elder brothers also more or less ignored him, why did they all come to his house today?

The second prince played with the bracelet, "Fifth brother, my brother recently found out that you seem to be investigating something, don't mind telling me about it!"

Zhang Jinghong thought, no, he minded very much, and at the same time his back felt cold, how careful he was, it was still discovered by others.

The third prince is very worried, the fifth one is actually a fake, he is very complicated about the person who changed the prince, he is happy to cut off the prince's loyal brother, but he is also worried that there is a power that he doesn't know, and he can change the prince , This is going to heaven, should he be happy, he was not born of a queen.

Seeing that the fifth child didn't speak, the third prince said, "You seem to pay special attention to the students in the inn!"

Zhang Jinghong raised his heart, and looked at the third brother carefully, what does this guy know? However, he probably didn't know. If he knew, he would definitely not be in the mood to come. Fortunately, he only had people staring at him outside the inn.

The fourth child squinted his eyes, looked at the second brother, then looked at the third brother, thinking in his heart, as long as these two people are fake, what a pity, they were born too early, and there was no chance to be replaced.

Zhang Jinghong was particularly entangled in his heart. He wanted to kill Shen Yang, but at the same time he had too many scruples. Who made too many coincidences, and it has been delayed until now.

The second prince exchanged glances with the third and fourth, and the more silent the fifth, the more troublesome it was. Very good, it really didn't come in vain.

Two days later, Zhulan received the house deed and land deed from Deng Xiucai, two nice shops, 50 mu of land, and a land deed for a hill, which cost a total of 3,300 taels.

Deng Xiucai said: "The 50 acres of land I bought at the beginning were scattered, so I went door to door and found someone to subsidize some money and exchanged the land. Although I didn't buy a Zhuangzi, it was okay to build a house with 50 acres of land next to each other. Xiaozhuangzi, yes, the fields are connected to the hills, I remembered that the Zhou family had an orchard in Lizhou, so I bought it together."

Zhulan was very satisfied, Deng Xiucai was smart, Zhou Shuren always spoke highly of Deng Xiucai, "I am very satisfied, you have worked hard."

Deng Xiucai continued: "I have some clues about the list you asked to check, and everything I found is here."

Zhulan took it, picked it up and looked at it, squinting her eyes, sure enough there was something wrong.
