Dong Mingjue didn't know why, and asked suspiciously: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Aunt Jiang wiped her tears, full of grievances and didn't dare to say it to her daughter, so she had to answer vaguely: "Isn't my mother worthless for you?" You have such a high spirit, but you stoop to be a concubine......"

Dong Mingjue sighed when he heard this, and said softly: "My daughter really didn't think about being anyone's concubine before, but it wasn't because she was angry, but because she was worried that no one would take care of her mother after she got married." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The reason why info changed the name of Gaofu to Dong Mansion is that he made up his mind to recruit Lang into his family, and wanted to find an honest man to join our family and honor his mother together. If your daughter marries someone else and can't come back to see her mother often, won't you be lonely and lonely living alone? There is also the aunt of the Gao family who comes to the door to find trouble, how can the mother cope with it alone? ”

Aunt Jiang was taken aback, this possibility was not impossible, and she even stopped crying for a while. She has always had a soft personality and no ideas, she listened to her husband before she was robbed by Gao Hongtu, and she listened to her daughter after she was appointed as a concubine, if the Gao family came to provoke, she really couldn't deal with it.

Dong Mingjue continued: "I don't know why the master thinks that he and I are husband and wife, my daughter can't say with a shy face that she hasn't broken the melon, she is really ashamed." He sent a message, if you don't enter the door of the Xia family, you will go to the messenger of the shopkeeper of my money bank, and give me another sum of silver, and this mansion will also be given to me as compensation. But mother, do you think that without the protection of the master, can we keep this mansion? ”

Aunt Jiang thought about it and replied honestly: "I can't keep it." ”

So, my daughter has no way out. But fortunately, the lord promised me that I could take my mother into the Xia family with me, so that my daughter could take care of my mother. ”

"Huh?" Aunt Jiang panicked, "Isn't this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger......

Dong Mingjue frowned and said, "What nonsense? Hurry up and go to the flower hall with your daughter, the lord is waiting. He tugged at her sleeve.

Aunt Jiang hugged the head of the bed and shook her head again and again: "I'm not going!" You have always been very assertive, you can discuss this matter with the master, no matter how your mother depends on you, you are ......" let your daughter talk badly, she always didn't listen.

Flower Hall.

Xia Nan listened to Dong Mingjue's explanation and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, when he saw Aunt Jiang, he was also a little embarrassed, he was drunk and disorderly, and slept with other people's daughters, which was not a glorious thing after all.

"Since Aunt Jiang is slightly ill, forget it. Find a matchmaker to come to the door to talk about trivial matters, send a dowry, and pick the hour, let Zhang Mingli find someone Zhang Luo. Hurry up and take stock of the accounts, and tomorrow I will return to Lingao with the silver. ”

"Yes, sir."

Day 2, Pier.

Xia Nan stood on the dock, watching the guys of Qian Zhuang carrying a mouthful of boxes and boarding the ship under the supervision of the guards soldiers, thinking that Dong Mingjue's execution was really good, 600,000 taels of silver could be loaded on the ship so quickly, and it did not affect the daily business of Qian Zhuang, he was indeed a good talent. What Zhang Mingli said makes sense, in such an important position as the shopkeeper of the bank, talent is important, loyalty is even more important, this time the drunken accident was crooked, and his words were fulfilled, turning Dong Mingjue into a pillow person, perhaps, it is a good thing for himself.

After all the boxes were loaded, Xia Nan was about to board the ship, and a soft sedan car hurried to the dock, Dong Mingjue got off the sedan chair and walked in front of him.

Xia Nan smiled: "I haven't passed the door yet, you didn't come to deliver it, and the master won't blame you." ”

Dong Mingjue's face turned red, she was not used to this kind of ambiguous teasing. Just took out a letter and handed it to him.

"What is this?" Xia Nan took the envelope suspiciously.

"This is what Wenjun asked me to give to the master." Dong Mingjue explained, "After the Qianzhuang closed last night, I went to the governor's yamen to find her, and wanted to explain to her the ins and outs of the whole thing. However, she avoided talking about it, didn't give me a chance to explain, and just asked the master about his intention to come to Guangzhou. I heard that the master was going to Jiangnan to do the raw silk business, so she asked the governor to write this letter and asked me to hand it over to you. Inside is a letter written by the governor to the prefect of Suzhou, they are in the same year of the scientific expedition, quite a friendship, the letter mentions to let the prefect of Suzhou take care of you. ”

In the summer, the south of the Yangtze River is full of silk, especially the silk industry in Suzhou and Hangzhou is the most developed, with this letter, at least in Suzhou it is much easier. It seems like a few thin pages, but it is a good thing that cannot be bought with silver. However, why would Xie Wenjun, who seems to have a deep prejudice against himself, help himself?

He asked Dong Mingjue: "How can Xie Wenjun help me?" Did she offer anything in exchange? ”

Dong Mingjue shook his head lightly: "Master, you still don't understand Wenjun's thoughts. She is ten times smarter than me, and ten times more skilled than me, but she is too proud and reserved to put down the shelf and open her mouth - in fact, she already has a young talent in her heart, but she just doesn't want to admit it. ”

Xia Nan is not stupid, and he has a lot of emotional experience, Dong Mingjue said it so obviously, he still doesn't know what it means. It's just that the preconceived notions before were too deep, and I couldn't turn them around all at once. He looked at the letter in his hand in a daze, and blurted out: "Didn't she keep claiming that I was a disciple?" ”

"It was just a misunderstanding, Wen Jun had long forgotten about it. She hates only the power of her father's generation in her life, and admires young talents with real talent and learning. ”

Xia Nan opened her mouth wide, feeling that Miss Xie still admires herself, but she doesn't admit it? He couldn't help but flash Xie Wenjun's contemptuous expression in his mind, why couldn't he see it?

If someone else said these words, he would never believe it, but Dong Mingjue and Xie Wenjun have such a good personal relationship, they must know Xie Wenjun's mind best, and they are very credible.

At this time, Yang Youji ran over, "Master, everything is ready, when will you leave?" ”

Xia Nan came back to his senses, no matter what, now is not the time to ponder the girl's mind, there are more important things to do. He waved the envelope and advised: "You tell Miss Xie, I have written down this kindness, and when I come back from Jiangnan, I will come to the door to thank you." ”

After speaking, he turned around and boarded the boat with Yang Youji, walked a few steps, remembered one thing, turned around and said: "Because you are in a hurry to go to Jiangnan, the matter of your passing through the door can only be slowed down, and you will be wronged for a few days." ”

Dong Mingjue lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, and he was a well-behaved and sensible little daughter-in-law: "The master's major affairs are important, and he can't delay it for the love of his children." ”

The "Yangming" cut through the waves and rushed back to Lingao within one day.

The matter of going to Jiangnan has been arranged a long time ago, Lin Weiye and other entourages have long been prepared, and the "Yangming" anchored at Bofu Wharf for one night, and immediately set off for Suzhou on the second day.
