Chapter 478: Talks (1)
Yuxi put the ledger in his hand on the table, looked at Mr. Xia, and said, "If I guessed correctly, the marshal should have planned to do so a long time ago, but there was an accident before it could be implemented, right?" Yuxi guessed that Marshal Qin just regarded the Xu family as a fat sheep that he raised, and once the army urgently needed money, he slaughtered this 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 this plan. It's just that no one expected that the marshal would have an accident because of saving the major general. "If Marshal Qin hadn't died of serious injuries, with his physical condition, he would have no problem living for another one or two decades.
A person like Marshal Qin, you can't do it if you don't admire it. Yuxi asked, "Did Mr. Xia sue Qin Zhao about this matter?"
Mr. Xia shook his head and said, "No." The major general was too deep to pull out. If I sue him, he will only help the Xu family to kill me. β
This is very deep, and many meanings can be derived. However, Yuxi didn't ask any further, because she knew that even if she asked, Mr. Xia would not sue her.
Yuxi asked a question that she thought was strange: "Why did you tell General SΓΉ about this?"
Mr. Xia said: "Because Yunqing is the successor selected by the marshal, what the marshal has not completed, it should be handed over to him to complete." In addition, he didn't say anything, and he was also very moved to see Yuxi running around for those orphans. He felt that with Yunqing and Yuxi in their hands, 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's like seeing a young marshal. Moreover, Yucheng is the place where he has lived for nearly thirty years, and he is reluctant to leave.
Yuxi smiled and said, "That's good." The general is indispensable around him. I've been wondering all these days how I'm going to keep you if you insist on leaving!"
Mr. Xia was also very happy to hear this, everyone hoped that he was a very important person, not an inconsequential person: "Madam, there are some things that I don't know whether to say or not. β
Yu Xiwan said: "What should be said or not, if you have something to say, you can say it!" Mr. Xia can take the initiative to say this to him, proving that he is really not ready to leave.
Mr. Xia said: "The officials of the court are corrupt, and the government is also controlled by the Song family and the Yu family. And the Yu family reached an agreement with the general before, but they just wanted to drag Qin Zhao down and let the prince and the Song family have less help, and they were not really willing to help the general. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the household department to push back and not give money. If you want to keep Yucheng and not be controlled by others, you can only think of another way. "Mr. Xia doesn't believe that the household department really doesn't have a penny, but Yu Xiang doesn't want to give it and deliberately gets stuck.
Yuxi's heart moved after hearing this, and asked, "Does Mr. have an idea?" Yuxi naturally didn't want to be controlled by others, but it was not so easy to raise so much money.
Mr. Xia did have an idea, and the idea was very simple, that is, to continue to do business with the northern captives: "In addition to grain and grass, other daily necessities such as salt and cloth can be sold outside the customs to earn the difference." "This business is also a lot of income in a year.
Yuxi's heart choked, and after being silent for a while, he said: "If Mr. can talk to the general, this business can indeed be done." "Yuxi is reluctant to discuss such a matter with Yunqing. There are some things that can help to persuade, and there are some things that must never be interfered with.
Mr. Xia said this in the hope that Yuxi could come forward to persuade Yunqing, but he didn't expect Yuxi to kick the ball to him again. Now, it's really a dilemma!
Yuxi immediately changed the topic and said, "Tomorrow night, I will take someone to Xinping City." "The sooner this matter is resolved, the sooner you get the money, and the sooner you can buy a house for the winter. It's September now, and it'll be cold in two months.
Mr. Xia nodded and said, "Then the general will set off the night after tomorrow." "Yunqing led his troops to Xinping City, which was the time to copy Xu's house.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Xinping City is the territory of the Xu family, and I am worried that they will be aware of it in two days. It would be better to let the general leave in the middle of the night tomorrow night. I explained the prefect of Tan's mansion here, and the general over there took someone to copy the Xu family. "Actually, I don't want Governor Tan to do anything, I just hope that when Yunqing copies the Xu family, he won't take the yacha to stop it. Otherwise, if the two gangs fight among themselves, it will give the Xu family a chance to take advantage of it, which will not be good.
Of course, fortunately, the prefect is his own family. If the prefect hadn't changed, he would definitely not sit idly by and watch Yunqing copy the Xu family. It's not just that Yunqing doesn't have the authority to raid the house, even if he has evidence of the Xu family's treason, on the other hand, the Xu family is extremely rich, and whoever raids the house will fall into whomever hands.
Mr. Xia asked, "Is Madame physically able to eat?"
Yuxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely arrive in Xinping City before the general." "Yuxi has already planned, this time I will go to Xinping City, and I will take Master Yang and Zi Jin. Yu Zhi stayed in the villa to protect the jujubes.
After talking, Mr. Xia left.
Mother Lan knew that Yuxi was going to Xinping City, and muttered: "Madam is really ruthless, I never thought that the child would cry if she saw you?" Not only is it unqualified to be a father, but also a mother. This is why the old lady is gone, and if the old lady is here, she will definitely scold the lady to the point of blood.
Others went to find Governor Tan, but Governor Tan would not agree nine times out of ten, and only she was the most suitable. However, in the end, I can't live with the child. Yuxi said a little sneeringly, "It's not too urgent, there's no way!" The grain and grass bought from the Wu family only paid half of the money, and the quilt and cotton clothes and pants were booked with Yunqing and Wu Kuo, and only paid a deposit of 20%. When the things arrive and there is no money to pay, it will be a shame.
Mother Lan sighed and said, "I will take care of the child, and you should be careful on the road, madam." "If you marry someone who leads soldiers to fight, don't think about having a stable life. No wonder the old lady was worried day and night! Now it is no longer true that the old lady is worried.
Yuchen said: "When the matter is settled, I will come back." Because she got the news early, Yuxi had already found a woman from Zhuangzi who had just given birth and asked her to help feed the jujube for a few days. I just don't know if this girl will cry when the time comes.
When everyone was asleep, Yuxi left Yucheng with Zijin and Master Yang. Because he was afraid of being discovered, the carriage and horses were placed outside the Zhuangzi.
A man in a short suit had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Yuxi, he said, "Madam, please get in the car." "Clothes and dry food were all put in the wagon.
When I got into the carriage, I found that there were tea and snacks in the carriage, as well as a thin quilt, and the things were quite complete. Yuxi slept in the carriage all night, and when she got up early the next day, her back hurt and she was very uncomfortable. Yuxi said to Zi Jin: "I traveled from the capital to Yucheng for a few months last year, and I was not as tired as I am now. β
After hearing this, Master Yang said: "Your current body, where can it be compared with last year." "When a woman gives birth to a child, her health is much worse.
Zi Jin didn't believe Master Yang's set, and said, "Madame, I haven't been in such a far carriage for a long time, and the carriage is too fast, so it's uncomfortable." β
Yuxi shook his head and said, "The speed of the carriage is not fast at night, okay?" It is also the day of September, there is a moon at night, and the coachman is very familiar with this road, otherwise he would not dare to rush to the night road.
Zijin said, "Otherwise, I'll slow down later." β
Yuxi shook his head and said, "You can't slow down, generals, they will set off tonight, they are all on horseback, and they are much faster than us." We can't slow down if we arrive before they do. β
After a break, he continued on his way. In order to take care of Yuxi, the horseman is not fast. On the contrary, Yuxi asked him to speed up, but the speed was so fast that he almost turned everything he ate in the morning upside down. For the sake of time, Yuxi could only change into men's clothes and ride a horse with Zi Jin.
Yuxi was in a hurry, and Mother Lan and Mother Xi were also having a hard time. In the middle of the night, Zao Zao woke up hungry to feed, found that he had changed people, and began to live or die without eating, so he howled and cried there. It is estimated that most of the people in Zhuangzi heard that loud voice. I cried for half the night, crying until I had no strength to cry, I was hungry, and I couldn't sleep if I wanted to. Lying in swaddling clothes, twitching and smoking, indescribably pitiful.
Until dawn, Mother Lan said, "Call the nurse over, this girl should be able to eat." "I've been hungry all night, so I shouldn't pick it again.
As Mother Lan expected, she didn't pick any more dates, but she ate very little, not even half of the usual amount.
Mother Lan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, although she ate less, she ate it anyway: "It's too small, if it's bigger, I can prepare some minced meat for you to eat." β
After eating, the jujube fell asleep.
Xi's mother couldn't help but say: "Madam is really ruthless, so she left the child like this." "No matter how important things are, they can be more important than children!
Mother Lan's face was not good-looking, and she said: "If you are in the mansion, such words will be heard by the old lady, and you will not have good fruit to eat." "No matter how many ladies there are, they can't complain in front of their children. This is suspected of provoking the relationship between mother and child.
Xi's mother also felt sorry for the child, so she said such a sentence casually. At the moment, he said with a white face: "I will never be again." β
Mother Lan said: "You must pay attention in the future, and there must be no next time." She muttered to Yuxi yesterday, but she was actually expressing dissatisfaction. But this dissatisfaction can be expressed in front of the wife, but not with the child. It's okay if the child doesn't understand it now, but if he hears these words a lot, he still thinks that the lady, who is a mother, doesn't love her and doesn't love her! When the time comes, 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." β
