Chapter 169: The two had a private conversation
Helping the young lady to do a good job on the soft couch, the shopkeeper Wang looked at the haggard Xue Pan, and his heart was also faintly painful!
He also saw it when the young lady came back yesterday, and although he had a big fight with the main mother, he didn't look like this! In just two days and one night, how did the lively and cheerful young lady in the past become like this?
Wiping the corners of his eyes, the shopkeeper Wang hurriedly turned around, poured out a bowl of thick porridge from a clay pot on the table, blew it, brought it to Xue Pan, and persuaded: "Miss, I heard that you haven't eaten for a day, here is the porridge that the old slave ordered people to boil, you take a sip first." ”
"Youlao Wang is old...... Xue Pan hurriedly took the porridge bowl, held it and took a sip, the temperature was just right, and it was very fragrant!
Drinking the porridge in the bowl, Xue Pan's tears that had just stopped were gushing out again, and he quickly turned sideways and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, only then turned his head and said apologetically to the shopkeeper Wang: "Elder Wang, haven't you said it many times, in front of me, don't be an old slave, an old slave shouts!" Who will treat you like a slave at home? ”
"Old ...... I know, Miss hurry up and stop talking, take a few more sips! The shopkeeper Wang was a little moved when he heard Xue Pan's words, he was haggard like this, and he remembered to come to relieve him!
Xue Pan obediently drank the bowl of porridge, and then handed the bowl to Xiao Ai and asked her to pour some to drink.
Wiping his mouth, Xue Pan's pale face finally had a trace of blood, looking at the shopkeeper Wang, he suddenly remembered something, and quickly asked: "By the way, Elder Wang, you came to see me, does my mother know?" Don't let her know, but hurt you. ”
Shopkeeper Wang shook his head, and said to Xue Pan in a low voice: "Miss, don't worry about me, I'm here, and the master mother knows!" Hey, miss, don't resent the mistress, the mistress is also for your own good......"
"What's for my good! It's all a lie! Xue Pan suddenly interrupted the words of the shopkeeper Wang, his chest rose and fell violently, and an unnatural flush rose on his face, and he opened his mouth and said, "Just marry me casually just for my good?" I'm her daughter! It's not a cat or a dog! Look at it, she still beats Xiao Ai like this! ”
Xiao Aisai's mouthful of rice porridge was pointed at by the young lady, and he almost choked on the spot, but fortunately, the two of them didn't look at it, so they quickly swallowed everything in their mouths secretly, and trotted over to Xue Pan's side, comforting and touching his back, and it took a long time for the angry Xue Pan to return to normal.
The shopkeeper Wang looked at Xue Pan's sad and angry appearance, and his heart was also uncomfortable, in this family, his favorite is Xue Pan, of course, this kind of liking is just the love of the elders for the younger generations, when he said that he wanted to say goodbye to Xue Pan, he was also uncomfortable for a long time, until he said that he was the wife of the little marquis of the Xiangcheng family, and then he eased up.
Although he has never seen the Marquis of Xiangcheng, he still knows this title, the Marquis, almost the pinnacle of the ministers, although he has to be downgraded by one level to his son, but how can he also be an earl!
can marry an earl as a wife, this identity is not disgraceful to the miss!
Now that the shopkeeper thinks about it, for this family matter, the whole family is looking at the title and status, but no one really asks the young lady what she thinks of her marriage.
As a result, after all, he angered the very assertive young lady, and after saying goodbye, he left directly and went to Sanyuan County, which made him angry at the time, and hated Miss for not thinking about it.
Later, the family once terminated this family business because of the young lady's sake, and the instructions of the young master Xue to receive a letter, and he also began to get busy because of the store, where did he expect this kind of thing to happen next!
The mistress doesn't have a long experience and is deceived by others, but he has been in business for many years, and he has traveled from north to south. If it was really as he guessed, it was the Xiangcheng Hou family who made a ghost, then the young lady was right to run away from home that day, pretending to be a ghost to deceive the relatives, even if the other party was the emperor's son, this family affair could not be agreed!
Both of them were thinking about things separately, and the embroidery floor was quiet for a while, and finally it was the shopkeeper Wang who broke the silence and said to Xue Pan: "Miss, it is not very practical to say these things now, but Miss, you are also relieved, the Najib who was originally scheduled for tomorrow should not be successful, so we still have time to think about it from beginning to end!" ”
"What should not be done? Could it be that you ...... old Wang" Xue Pan was startled, raised his head and stared at the shopkeeper Wang, and looked at the shopkeeper Wang's old face a little red......
"Miss is too careful, how can I have such great ability, but today someone found our store and revealed a shocking secret, which prompted the housewife to make up her mind to postpone the family affairs."
"What earth-shattering secret? So powerful? Xiao Ai interjected beside him.
Wang Lao glanced at Xiao Ai, knowing the status of this little maid in Xue Pan's heart, he was not surprised, and lowered his voice and said, "That person said that the Hou family of Xiangcheng is an enemy!" ”
"What? Rivals! ”
Hear those two words! Xue Pan and Xiao Ai Qiqi took a breath together, but Xue Pan had been in charge for many days, although he was startled by this at first, but he immediately reacted, if these two words were put on others, Xue Pan still believed it, but on Xiangcheng Hou, it was a little unbelievable!
Everyone in Chang'an knows that the Marquis of Xiangcheng was a grain merchant in the past, and he was the biggest one! At the beginning, he relied on almost all his family wealth to fund Li Yuan, and then he was brought to the court by Li Yuan of "Zhi'en Tu Bao"!
But maybe it's a merchant family, all they do is speculative drilling, even being an official is like this, the family has such a high title, but there is no one who has become an official who can go above the seventh grade, and even more than half of them go to the battlefield to fight, how can they have the courage and ambition to fund the enemy by marrying several daughters one after another to stabilize their titles?
Shopkeeper Wang may have seen Xue Pan's doubts, and spread his hands and said, "Miss Mo don't believe it?" In fact, I didn't believe it at first, but then I thought about it, although this Marquis of Xiangcheng is high, but the rights in his hands are not matched with this title at all, a marquis does this is also aggrieved, if others promise heavy profits, this kind of thing is also difficult to protect! ”
Xue Pan nodded, indeed, it is not too strange for people under resentment to do incredible things, after thinking about it for a while, Xue Pan opened his mouth and asked the shopkeeper Wang: "Elder Wang, then who went to the store to say this?" ”
The shopkeeper replied very happily: "Oh, it's a young man, about fifteen or sixteen years old, gorgeously dressed, like a rich child, and with two followers......
"Fifteen or sixteen!" When Xiao Ai heard Shopkeeper Wang's description, the appearance of Xiao Han's trio immediately appeared in his mind, and he was excited in his heart, grabbed Xue Pan's shoulder and shouted, "There are two other followers?" Miss, that's ......"
"What's that?!" Xue Pan shouted urgently, and then hurriedly covered Xiao Ai's mouth, and the poor Xiao Ai's eyes widened, and his hands and feet danced wildly.
"The little girl's head has not been very good in the past two days, she is always talking nonsense, don't care......" Xue Pan covered Xiao Ai's mouth vigorously, and reluctantly smiled apologetically at the king's shopkeeper, so he quickly dragged her aside and didn't let go!
just leaned into her ear and whispered: "Stupid, why do you talk about everything, let others know, isn't this a goof?" Do you want to be taken away tomorrow? ”
Xiao Ai shook her head in horror, she didn't even dare to dance with her hands and feet, as if she was frightened!
"Alright, from now on, no talking! If you dare to speak again, I'll send you to that bastard to warm the bed!" Xue Pan taught Xiao Ai a "vicious" lesson, and then let go of his hand, and Xiao Ai didn't dare to scream anymore, looking at Miss pitifully, and wondering in his heart: Which bastard to give her to......
Back in his seat, Xiao Ai was much more honest this time, lowered his head, and didn't say a word, but Xue Pan was a little strange, the corners of his mouth rose from time to time, as if he was snickering, and the shopkeeper who watched it sighed in his heart, did he really think he was stupid, such an obvious young man, so when everyone didn't know who he was?
"Miss, miss?"
The shopkeeper Wang, who was muttering in his heart, called Xue Pan several times, and Xue Pan, who was immersed in his fantasies, suddenly woke up: "Ah, Elder Wang, what did you say?" ”
Seeing this, the shopkeeper sighed deeply, when has this happened, and he still has a mind to think about it!
Looking up again and looking at Xue Pan, Shopkeeper Wang slowly said to her: "Miss, don't be too happy, what is going on in this matter, no one can say anything now, you should think about the beginning and end of this matter now!" ”
"It should be, it should be!" Xue Pan nodded heavily, she just suddenly heard that there were still people running around for her, which caused her to lose her mind, and now when she heard what the shopkeeper said, she suddenly calmed down and began to think about it.
The shopkeeper Wang was very satisfied with the young lady's kind appearance, and waited until Xue Pan thought about it for a while, then continued: "It's also ashamed, originally I thought that the young lady marrying the Marquis of Xiangcheng was also a good family, and it was a good family affair, but today I only found out that there was something strange in it, and today the young man asked me, I don't know that there are other things in it, if I can tell him about it at that time, maybe he will have some way to find out." ”
"What Elder Wang said is strange, but the Taoist a few days ago?" Xue Pan, who returned to normal, immediately showed his intelligent side, and just by listening to it, he knew what the shopkeeper Wang was referring to.
Shopkeeper Wang nodded and said: "It is that Taoist, it is also a coincidence, a few days ago it was the time of the purchase and shipment of goods, such a big thing Lao Yu didn't know anything, otherwise let Lao Yu discuss it face to face with that Taoist, you should know the truth of this matter." ”
"Elder Wang, what is going on with that person, I don't know much about what Xiao Ai said, you can tell me in detail!" Xue Pan asked softly.
"Well...... "Since the young lady asked, the shopkeeper Wang naturally would not refuse, and immediately told Xue Pan all the 1510 asked from the master's mother.
(Hey, it's not easy for Xiao Han to find a girlfriend, the transition will end soon, everyone can bear with me)
